Chapter 202
"Yes, when did Murong Niangzi arrive in Chang'an and when did she stay in the General's Mansion?" Wei Qian asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Pingfeng understood what he meant by asking, so he tried to say in as much detail as possible, "She has been in Chang'an with her aunt for a month, and she lived in the Murong family's house for half a month, and her aunt went south for something, so she sent her cousin to live in my house for a month. ”
Lu Pingfeng's aunt is General Lu's sister-in-law, and after marrying into the declining Murong family, she used the relationship of the Lu family to do north-south currency transactions, and returned to Chang'an every year, usually bringing her own daughter over, but this year she suddenly brought Murong Luyi with her.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Murong family wants to marry Murong Luyi to Chang'an. The Murong family has not become what it is today, even if it is a concubine, the family is afraid that it will not be able to climb high, if Murong Luyi's identity wants to enter the wealthy family, at most he can only be a concubine, and even worse, he may be given away as a gift.
Tracing back to the source, the ancestors of the Murong family also had a lot of trouble for a while, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get close to the General's Mansion, how could they do such a shameless thing?
Lu Pingfeng saw the doubts of the two, so he explained, "Our family is not rich in heirs, and our daughters are raised as sons, when my aunt said that she fell in love with the Langjun of the Murong family, her grandfather and grandmother were a little unhappy, but she still obeyed her wishes, and took pity on her for marrying far away, so she made several businesses in the family as a dowry, but in the past few years...... My aunt's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable that her hand will cross the line, so my father will let it out, which means that in the future, my aunt's business will have nothing to do with the Lu family. ”
The reason why the Lu family has been favored forever has its own set of survival rules. They are domineering in small things, but they never deviate from the big things, and they never get involved in other major matters related to the survival of the country. When Lu Pingfeng's aunt started the rice and grain business, the Lu family was dissatisfied, thinking that she was just turning a blind eye for the family's livelihood, but who would have expected that she had almost controlled the grain trade between the north and the south over the years.
Most of the Murong family's business relies on the connections of the Lu family, and the bigger the stall, the greater the difficulties encountered now.
"My father left my cousin at home because he planned to give my aunt another chance, and if she stopped in time, if she was obsessed, my father planned to stop recognizing this sister. Lu Pingfeng sighed, "Before my aunt was lucky, my father had an open and honest conversation with her, and my father saw what she did this time." ”
Cui Ning hesitated, "Is it possible to ......?"
"My aunt?" Lu Pingfeng said with a smile, "Although she is greedy, she is a smart woman, even if she uses me to threaten her father, her father will still not back down half a step." The principles that our ancestors have adhered to for generations, the glory that we have exchanged for our lives, and the fact that my father has withdrawn an inch is disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial. Besides, why should the people in our family be afraid of death, and if I really fall into that situation, it should be up to me to make a choice, rather than letting others use me to embarrass my father. ”
Cui Ning's heart shook, and he couldn't help but admire Lu Pingfeng's gaze a little more.
"I believe that my aunt will make a wise choice, and she has also made a lot of money over the years. "Lu Yifeng said.
Wei Qian is undeniable, people's hearts are getting bigger and bigger, maybe Lu Sanniang still has a little bit of the Lu family's blood and principles when she is in the boudoir, more than ten years have passed, who can ensure that she will not be blinded by the power in her hands?
He skipped the matter, "Did Murong Niangzi often go out after returning to Chang'an?"
"I didn't know when she lived in the Murong Mansion, my aunt was very strict, and she didn't have much chance to go out if she wanted to, and after she came to our house, she only went out three times. Once I took her to the suburban horse farm to run horses, once I went to a familiar shop in Dongshi for a long time, and then yesterday I went to the Hanging Temple to see the wisteria flowers. ”
Lu Pingfeng thought for a while, and then said, "I didn't notice anyone following me the first two times, but I only noticed it when I went down the mountain yesterday. ”
According to the existing clues, Cui Ning felt that the gangsters were very likely to be familiar with the General's Mansion, and even entered the General's Mansion.
Murong Green's appearance is delicate and beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the color of a fallen city, but because of her soft temperament, when she stands with Lu Pingfeng, others often ignore her at first sight, especially if that person looks at it from a distance, it is impossible to notice.
Wei Qian hadn't seen Murong Luyi, so he didn't know it, so Cui Ning told him again, and asked Lu Pingfeng again, "If the original target of the gangsters was Murong Niangzi, then most likely they wouldn't just look at it from afar, have you ever met a suspicious person in the temple?"
Lu Pingfeng said, "In addition to the monks in the temple, we have also met two scholars, but both of them are not very tall, and they look polite, not like they know martial arts." ”
The imperial examination has only been over for a short time, and it is normal for some students who have stayed in the temple to have not left.
Wei Qian got up, "You have a good rest, don't go out at home, I can ask you at any time if I think of anything." ”
"Good. Lu Pingfeng nodded.
Cui Ning waved at her and followed her like a little tail.
Lu Pingfeng looked at the backs of the two of them, and said in his heart, this little sister-in-law is obviously thirteen years old, but she is as lively and innocent as a child, how can she get along with the fifth uncle of Leng Mian?
The Holy Upper Limit will solve the case within three days, Cui Ning doesn't want to hold back, but she is really worried, and after hesitating for a few times, she still said, "Fifth brother, I'll give you a hand, if there is anything I can do, just ask." ”
Wei Qian ordered his subordinates to fetch the evidence collected in the morning, "This is the murderer's use of a smoke pipe, you take it to my friend in the imperial hospital and ask him to make the formula within an hour." ”
Cui Ning took the paper bag and wiped the sweat for the imperial doctor, "Okay, I'll go now, where can I find you after I get the result?"
"Wait for me at the Supervision Division. Wei Qian said, and under a series of orders and orders, most of the people around him were sent out.
Cui Ning went out with him, got on the horse and left.

Shadow shift.
The afternoon sun shone through the cracks in the window and fell on a fair face.
The face of the woman in Tsing Yi looked particularly clear in the bright sun, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
The inside of the house is dark, and the outside is two extremes. The woman's eyes were exposed to the bright light for a long time, and after a while of getting used to it, she found herself lying on the cold floor, trying to move her hands and feet, and the feeling of being restrained made her look pale.
"Wake up. A man's deep voice sounded not far away.
The woman was startled and hurriedly looked at the voice. There was almost no light over there, except for a pair of shoes with silver embroidery.
"What's your name?" the man asked slowly.
"Mu ...... Murong Green. Murong Luyi felt that the voice seemed to come from hell, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter to her ears, so that she didn't dare not resist. (To be continued.) )
