Chapter 458: North of the City
When Wu Mu Hou Lu Yuannan returned to the Hou Mansion, his face was gloomy and tight, and it seemed that there was ice and snow in Wu Mu Hou's Mansion in an instant, and the atmosphere was frozen, and it was cold to the bone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The subordinates were forced to look at the old marquis so much that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and when they opened the door, Marquis Lu strode in and entered the mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Old Marquis Lu immediately asked the two iron guards he brought back to guard the gate and block the news to prevent it from leaking. Then, he ordered two iron guards to go to the hussar camp to spread Lu Xing's return, and he himself went to the ancestral hall.
The old man Li who guarded the door watched Lu Xing grow up, and he had always loved Lu Xing very much, and when he saw that the old man came back, he was in such a big formation, blocking the news, guarding the gate of the mansion, and summoning the young master back. In particular, the two iron guards were expressionless, as if they were going to get a prisoner. He was so anxious that he wanted to leak the news to his wife, but he heard the old marquis say: "Lao Li, you come to the ancestral hall with me." ”
Old man Li had no choice but to follow.
Along the way, the old marquis's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Old man Li pondered for a long time, and said, "Master, are you ...... You must be tired from all the way, so let's go wash and rest first. Master...... The young master is busy with official business in the army, and he may not be able to come back in a hurry. You see......"
Speaking of this, he stopped and looked at the old marquis inquiringly.
The old marquis snorted coldly and said: "He is very busy, very busy, busy with flowers and moons, busy drinking and making trouble, busy with making our entire Lu family cut off their children and grandchildren, and even the nine clans?"
In the end, his voice became more and more severe, and there was a gritted hatred.
Old man Li was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. How did the old marquis who was far away know about these things? He had a faint doubt in his heart, and felt that the Wumu Marquis Mansion, which seemed to be infinitely beautiful on the surface, seemed to have turbulent waves.
The old marquis has always paid attention to family style, and he has always been strict with his three sons. Even the most beloved second son, Lu Xing, is mostly severely reprimanded, and rarely praises. However, to be able to say such heavy words, I'm afraid I'm so angry that I can't smoke it, right?
The Wumuhou Mansion has always had strict family laws, and because the three sons are extremely filial and obedient, the ancestral hall is rarely open except for sacrifices. Now, the old man came back angrily, and as soon as he came back, he was going to open the ancestral hall, could it be that he wanted to promote the majesty of the family law?
"Old man......" Old Man Li muttered, "Over the past few days, although the second son has gone too far, he has also been a little willful. But isn't the reason for this still unfounded? This is true, and if it has not been ascertained, the second son will be severely punished, right?"
Old Marquis Lu paused for a moment, so frightened that Old Man Li, who was following closely behind, was startled, and hurriedly stopped his steps, not daring to raise his head.
The old marquis looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Lao Li, do you think that our Wumu Hou Mansion will always be prosperous?"
The old marquis suddenly came to such a brainless remark, and the old man Li was stunned when he heard it.
The old marquis continued: "The emperor's grace is vast, but we should also know how to measure and know how to advance and retreat, otherwise, we don't know how to die." ”
After speaking, the old marquis ignored Old Man Li's reaction, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and walked in.
Old man Li stood there for a long time, and there was only one thought in his heart: This time, the second son's trouble is big!
Hussar battalion.
After being drunk for a day yesterday and waking up early this morning, Lu Xing found himself lying in the wing room of Baojian Pavilion. There was no one around, only Qin Lu.
"Qin Lu, why are you in my room?" Lu Xing asked subconsciously. After asking, he realized that something was wrong, in fact, what he wanted to ask was how he came back yesterday, whether he walked back by himself, or ...... Sent back?
He had a very bad headache, a normal reaction after a hangover.
Qin Lu saw that he was awake, and said with a smile: "Are you awake, what do you want to drink?" The young master specially ordered his subordinates to boil gruel, you drink a little to cushion your stomach, don't break your body. ”
As Qin Lu spoke, he handed him the gruel that had been scooped up early and put on the table to be cold, and said, "Be careful of scalding." ”
It was surprisingly good for him.
He did feel a little hungry, and drank the whole bowl of gruel at once, and then asked, "I ...... yesterday."
Qin Lu looked at him: "You really don't remember what happened yesterday?"
Lu Xing shook his head blankly. He had hardly ever done anything like this, and he would be so drunk that he didn't even know what he had done.
Qin Lu sighed: "It's best if you don't remember." ”
If Lu Xing knew that he not only punched Miss Gu Wu yesterday, but also hit the prince, I don't know if he would be frightened by his actions.
In short, if the prince doesn't pursue this matter, Miss Gu Wu doesn't pursue it, just let it pass.
"It's okay," Qin Lu pretended to be relaxed, "You went out to drink yesterday, didn't you come back now?" I went to Taibaiju to see it, and you drank all the jars of "daughter red" that had been hidden in the kiln for decades, if it weren't for your strong body, you would have drunk and died there. The young master knows that you have been in a bad mood recently, and asked our brothers to take care of you more, so as not to make you too tired. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Lu looked envious: "I said Lu Xing, you see that the young master cares more about you." ”
Lu Xing smiled, they were used to joking with each other, and they didn't mind. It's just that the young master said "tired", he always heard it with a deep meaning.
"You tell the young master, I don't have anything now, what I have is strength, what is tired and not tired, I am afraid when I am idle and panicked. Lu Xing said, "A few of us brothers, if you need it, just give orders." ”
"Good. Qin Lu thought for a while, "Recently, a cousin of mine who was a head catcher in Shuntian Mansion sent me a letter, saying that Yifuzhuang in the north of the city seems to be a little unpeaceful recently. ”
"Isn't it peaceful?" Lu Xing didn't understand, "What do you mean, haunted?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Qin Lu and smiled: "Could it be that you are afraid of ghosts?"
Who like them, who is a guard, has never killed anyone? They belong to the kind of people who are so murderous that they dare not even get close to ghosts. So, for them, they don't believe in gods and ghosts at all.
Qin Lu glanced at him: "Who is afraid of ghosts? Don't interrupt, listen to what I have to say." ”
Lu Xing was full of food and drink, and his spirit was very good, and he immediately asked: "What are you going to say, say it quickly, don't hang people's appetites." If you don't make it clear, I won't do you that favor. ”
"Don't, brother. Qin Lu said with a smile, "Actually, I don't know if this thing is true or not, my cousin, brother just said so, saying that after two brothers in their yamen went to the north of the city to investigate, they haven't come back yet." ”
"It's so weird. Lu Xing groaned, "Could it be that these two people owe gambling debts and run away from debts?"
Qin Lu shook his head: "No." Tang, my brother said that he had asked their families, and they all said that they had not left a message or anything in advance, and they had not used silver to entangle, so it was impossible for them to run away from home. Besides, those two people are officials in the palace, and they will never do anything to know the law and break the law, and most of them are missing. ”
"So, you're going to let me accompany you to see what is going on?" Lu Xing looked at Qin Ludao.
Qin Lu looked grinning: "Brother Xing, you are bold, this kind of thing, multiple people have to take care of it." ”
Lu Xing nodded very happily: "Okay, let's prepare today, and tomorrow we will inform the young master, and we will go to the north of the city." (To be continued.) )
