Pingle took Jing Tao to visit Lu Menglian in the Lu Mansion, and the little maid who answered the door asked Pingle and them to wait outside to pass the word inside, Pingle waited for a long time, and when he lost his patience and was about to knock on the door for the second time, the door opened, and it was not Lu Menglian who came out, it was Mrs. Lu who was dressed in white.

Mrs. Lu waved her hand, and the maid behind her surrounded Pingle and them, sprinkling salt on them, and Jing Tao hugged Pingle and protected her master with her body.

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and said, "You still dare to come." ”

Ping Le shouted angrily, "I'm here to see Mengpian, and I also want to worship Lord Lu, you have treated me like this, it's too much." "Even if they are not guests, it will not be like this, is it bad luck for them to sprinkle salt on them?

Mrs. Lu sneered, "Don't be coy, Feng Michu and Chen Musheng teamed up to clearly put the Lu family to death, you will be so kind." ”

Pingle said, "Did you misunderstand something?" "What to join forces, what to put to death, she can't understand a word.

Mrs. Lu said, "You still play stupid with me and continue to throw." ”

The next person went to report what happened at Lu Cunxi's door, and Lu Cunxi rushed to stop it, "Stop." ”

The maids stopped.

Jing Tao took out a handkerchief to help Pingle wipe it, Lu Cunxi accompanied him, he was also dressed in linen and filial piety, and his figure was reduced, "Mengpian is unwell, she is resting in bed, and there is a white thing in the house, which is not suitable for entertaining girls, please go back." ”

Pingle was worried about Lu Menglian, but the owner of the family clearly said that she would not receive it today, and she was not cheeky and had to enter, Pingle said, "Okay, then please tell Menglian that I will come to see her another day." ”

Pingle gave the things she brought to Lu Cunxi and hoped that he would help hand them over, which were the peace charms she had asked for in the temple a few days ago and some candied fruits she had bought on the way when she came just now.

A group of officers and soldiers walked behind her, Jing Tao pulled the master's sleeve, and cleverly pulled Pingle aside.

Lu Cunxi looked at the leading officers and soldiers and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

The officers and soldiers replied, "We were ordered to arrest Qingqin, the envoy of Fuqi, and we chased her all the way here and disappeared. The little suspect that she hid in the Lu Mansion, and I don't know if the adults will allow her to enter the mansion with her subordinates to search. ”

Mrs. Lu was displeased, "You are a small errand officer, you don't even have an official rank, and you still want to come to search the official residence of the minister." Now what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods dare to deceive us. ”

Lu Cunxi thought for a while and said, "You can go in and search, but the elder in the mansion has just passed away, and the coffin is still parked in the mourning hall, I hope it won't be too noisy so as not to disturb his old man's rest." ”

Mrs. Lu disagreed, "Cunxi, how can you let them in." ”

"Mother, they are just acting on orders, not to mention that Qingqin is not seen nearby, there will be some rumors, it is better to let them in. ”

Lu Cunxi asked the housekeeper to lead the group of officers and soldiers into the mansion to search, and after fighting with Pingle again, he returned to the mourning hall to continue the vigil.

Lu Fu's coffin stopped in the main hall, and he had invited a senior monk to do the ritual, and after three days, the coffin was sealed and buried, and incense and candles were offered in front of the coffin.

He glanced at the only offering table in the hall where the incense burner could be hidden, and he went to lift the tablecloth, where Qingqin was dressed in a brown coarse cloth and dressed as an inconspicuous peddler, huddled with his legs crossed, and hid inside.

Qingqin panicked and pulled out the dagger for self-defense, intending to stab Lu Cunxi to death before he called someone.

The two looked at each other for a while, and the voice of the official came from outside the mourning hall. Lu Cunxi didn't shout, and put down the tablecloth in Qingqin's surprised gaze.

Lu Cunxi went to send the officers and soldiers away, and when he returned to the mourning hall, Qingqin was gone. Lu Cunxi summoned the chief manager and instructed, "Let people keep an eye on Chen Musheng and Pingle, once they find Qingqin, they don't have to startle the snake first, and then report to the official when she makes a move." ”

……

When Pingle returned to Fengfu, he still kept patting his hair, and he always felt that the salt on his hair couldn't be cleaned.

Jing Diyi grabbed the sugar gourd in her hand and shook it in front of her idly, seeing her shaking her head and beating herself, "What are you crazy about." ”

Jing Tao said, "The slave maid went to the Lu Mansion with the young lady just now, but Mrs. Lu sprinkled a whole body of salt. Jing Tao saw that Pingle was uncomfortable, "The slave maid should go to the dining hall to boil hot water and let the young lady bathe and change her clothes." ”

Jing Tao hurried to the dining hall.

Jing Diyi bit a hawthorn fruit, no wonder she disappeared early in the morning, she went to the Lu Mansion, she said, "I asked you to have less contact with the Lu family, you didn't listen, and you asked for it." Mrs. Lu can be regarded as self-contained, but she just sprinkled your salt, not sprinkled your water and splashed your night incense. ”

The last thing Lu Fu wants to see now is probably the person related to Feng Michu Chen Musheng, she also sent her to the door to beg for scolding, and she didn't send her back in a human shape, so she was lucky.

Pingle asked, "What does Mrs. Lu mean when she said that Mu Sheng and Lord Feng joined forces to harm the Lu family?"

"If Mrs. Lu said, then you can ask Mrs. Lu, or ask your father-in-law, ask your master, and ask me how do I know. ”

Pingle thought that Jing Diyi must know something, but he thought she was stupid and didn't want to talk to her, Pingle asked, "Have you reconciled with Lord Feng?"

Jing Diyi said, "What's the matter with you?" "Even if she eats sugar gourd, she doesn't mean anything, she just wants to eat it. "What is this?" Jing Diyi pointed to the portrait in Pingle's hand.

Pingle handed the portrait over, "Qingqin." On the way back, she saw that the people from the government were posting this reward, and one of them fell off the list because it was not very firm, so she picked it up.

Pingle wondered, "Why was he suddenly arrested by the government." "It didn't say anything on the paper, but it only said that if she could provide information to the government to help catch Qingqin, she would be rewarded with 100 gold, and those who hid and didn't report it would be severely punished.

Jing Diyi looked at Qingqin's portrait, it was really not like it at all, he could catch the talent according to the picture, "Since your fifth brother has decided to send troops to help Zongzheng regain the throne, Qingqin's existence is redundant." "Qingqin is also keen, and he escapes quickly.

Pingle asked again, "What will happen if she is caught?"

Jing Diyi didn't answer and asked, "Didn't you hate her before, do you want her to be cut by a thousand knives?"

Pingle thought that she hated Qingqin so much, and hated that she wanted to tear off her vixen's face, but she didn't want her to die well, Pingle said, "The officers and soldiers in the city are looking for her, and they just went to the Lu Mansion to search." Even if she escapes, she won't be able to escape for long. ”

Jing Diyi looked at Ping Le and said, "When a person is cornered, it is easiest to have the mind of a dead fish and a broken net." Even the so-called death has to find someone to cushion her back, and those who are sorry for her have to be careful. ”

Why did he say such a thing to her, "I didn't hurt her." "On the contrary, it was Qingqin who harmed her, knowing that Mu Sheng had a wife and wanted to seduce him.
