Chapter 199: Return to the Lu Mansion
There were two more murders, and Lin Mo didn't care about watching the scenery on the street, so he led Liu Ruoshui to the Assassin's Mansion and went straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and Yuan Chenghong also went to do things quickly.
Three officials died one after another, among which Qin Liangzhu was still a record of the military to join the army, if this case is not solved as soon as possible, once the imperial capital is alarmed, it will definitely add a lot of trouble, Lin Mo does not want to stay in Jiangzhou for a few more days.
Sitting in the carriage to the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Ruoshui lowered his head, frowned deeply, thinking about something, and the eyeballs in those moving eyes were even more round.
At first, Lu Xingliang's death, Liu Ruoshui really thought that Lin Mo did it, but two Jiangzhou officials died one after another, Qin Liangzhu and Wu Tiande, these two people have nothing to do with themselves and others.
What's going on here?
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Mo also frowned and thought about the case, and suddenly seemed to think of something, so he showed a suddenly enlightened appearance, and then looked at Liu Ruoshui, but found that this girl was also thinking about it with a frown, so he asked.
"Ruoshui, what are you thinking, thinking so much?"
Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Liu Ruoshui raised his head and asked the doubts in his heart: "My lord, who do you say did this? How could two more people die?"
Lin Mo didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "What do you think about Ruoshui?"
"Ruoshui doesn't know!" Liu Ruoshui shook his head and said: "At first, I thought that Lu Xingliang was killed by you, an adult, in order to avenge those poor dancing girls, but as a result, the result was ......"
"It turned out to be not me!" Lin Mo picked up Liu Ruoshui's unspeakable words later: "Later, Han Yuanzhi's death happened, Han Yuanzhi has no grievances with us, so my suspicion was ruled out by you." ”
Liu Ruoshui nodded: "Yes, I heard about the grievance between Lu Xingliang and Han Yuanzhi in Xiangyun Pavilion today, I thought it was Han Yuanzhi who did it, but now that Han Yuanzhi is also dead, who is the murderer?"
Who is the murderer? Hearing this question, Lin Mo was silent for a while, and after raising an extremely evil arc on the corner of his mouth, he said lightly: "Then who knows?"
Five years ago, Han Yuanzhi was still a talented scholar who had achieved nothing, and he was friends with Lu Xingliang, who was still a six-grade chief in Jiangzhou at that time.
One day, someone organized a night banquet in Xiangyun Pavilion, which was attended by seven or eight people, including Lu Xingliang and Han Yuanzhi, in addition to the two of them, the current Jiangzhou Governor Shi Zhang Yubo and Jiangzhou Sima Wang Juyi were also among them.
At that banquet, Lu Xingliang fell in love with the appearance of Zhao Yunlian, Lu Qi's wife, who was the top brand of Xiangyun Pavilion at that time, but listening to the two girls of Qingyu, Han Yuanzhi fell in love with Zhao Yunlian.
But although Han Yuanzhi is quite talented, he has no power or power after all, but he has a lot of money in his family, how can he be the opponent of Han Yuanzhi, who is the governor of Jiangzhou, Han Yuanzhi relied on the power in his hand to accept Zhao Yulian as the seventh lady.
Later, perhaps Gu Lian and Han Yuanzhi's friendship for many years, Lu Xingliang couldn't help it, so he redeemed Qin Manli, who was also the top brand of Xiangyun Pavilion at the time, and made him Han Yuanzhi's concubine, and gave Han Yuanzhi an official position of Jiupin Record.
robbed my woman, stuffed a new woman in, and gave himself an official position, which is a naked insult to Han Yuanzhi, but Han Yuanzhi can't help but continue.
Back then, Lu Xingliang let go, if Han Yuanzhi didn't take over the official position and Qin Manli, it would be unwilling to forgive him Lu Xingliang, then he would have to use some means of coercion and persecution.
As for the specific means, no one knows except Lu Xingliang and Han Yuanzhi as the parties, but according to the speculation of Qingyu and Lu Ying, Lu Xingliang wanted to do that to Zhao Yunlian in front of Han Yuanzhi.
Riding the carriage to the Thorn History Mansion, under the leadership of a captain under Yuan Chenghong, Lin Mo and his party of four went directly into the Thorn History Mansion, and finally came to the lobby.
Coming to the lobby hand in hand with Liu Ruoshui, Lin Mo saw that Lu Second Lady Xue Hanyan was leading Lu Fifth Lady Zhao Suqing, Lu Jiu Lady Qiu Lianlian and Lu Tenth Lady Jiang Fengwan to stand in the lobby to greet him.
At this moment, Xue Hanyan's cheeks were glowing with a faint red light, sweeping away the haze on his brows before, Lin Mo smiled slightly when he saw this, and couldn't help but guess that it should be Yuan Chenghong who moisturized his life.
At this moment, Lin Mo began to feel a little distressed about Lu Xingliang again.
This Lu Xingliang robbed Han Yuanzhi's woman, and just died, his own woman was given by Yuan Chenghong, who he regarded as a good friend, this may be the so-called karma.
Seeing Lin Mo coming, Xue Hanyan, who even had a smile on her eyebrows, hurriedly led Zhao Qiujiang and the three daughters to step forward, saluted Lin Mo, and said in unison: "Cheap concubines and others see Lord Shangqing." ”
"No need to be polite!" Lin Mo raised his hand.
After Xue Hanyan's four daughters got up and sat down separately, Xue Hanyan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord Shangqing, it was supposed to be the eldest lady who came to greet you, but the eldest lady went back to the meditation hall to meditate and practice Buddhism, so she had to come to the concubine." ”
"It's okay! It's okay!" After a few polite sentences, Lin Mo directly got down to business: "Second lady, this time Ben Qing has something important to do, and I hope you can help Ben Qing." ”
"That's natural, the concubines and others also hope that Lord Shangqing can find out the real murderer of our master as soon as possible, and avenge our master, naturally I will help you wholeheartedly." ”
But when Xue Hanyan said these words that should have been sad, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and even with a charming taste, he couldn't see any sadness at all.
But the irony is that Lu Xingliang is dead, Xue Hanyan and other women should wear plain clothes and filial piety clothes, but several women have to be dressed up very gorgeously when they are alive, and they are obviously carefully dressed.
This couldn't help but make Lin Mo's heart feel mixed feelings.
Secretly hiding the emotion in his heart, Lin Mo said: "During the interrogation yesterday, Ben Qing also forgot the seventh lady Zhao Yunlian of your mansion, I don't know if the second lady knows where she is, can she take Ben Qing to have a look, and Ben Qing can ask some questions." ”
"That's fine. With that, Xue Hanyan stood up, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Please also ask Lord Shangqing to come with the concubine, and the concubine will take you to see the Seventh Lady." ”
"In this way, it will bother the second lady. ”
After that, Lin Mo also stood up, tilted his head, but found that Liu Ruoshui had no intention of getting up at all, and was still sitting as steady as Mount Tai, so he said, "Ruoshui goes, let's go see Mrs. Lu Qi." ”
Liu Ruoshui didn't have calligraphy and painting, first glanced at Lin Mo fixedly, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly shook his head and said, "No, Ruoshui was tired and hungry from walking on the street before, so Ruoshui won't go." ”
Without waiting for Lin Mo to speak, Jiang Fengwan suddenly stood up and instructed Youqin and Xuansu, who were accompanying her, "You two go and prepare a meal for Ruoshui girl." Hearing Jiang Fengwan's voice, Lin Mo suddenly understood something, first glanced at Jiang Fengwan with a seductive smile in his eyes, subconsciously touched the back of his head with his right hand, and showed a wry smile to Liu Ruoshui.
"It's okay, my lord, you can go, it's not too early now, Ruoshui is waiting for you while eating in the dining room, my lord, after you have interrogated Mrs. Lu Qi, come to the dining room to find Ruoshui." Liu Ruoshui said with a smile on his face.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Mo nodded, and after leaving Xifeng to protect Liu Ruoshui, he followed behind Xue Hanyan, walked out of the lobby, and went directly to the backyard.
Looking at Lin Mo's departing back, it wasn't until Lin Mo's figure disappeared for a while that Liu Ruoshui retracted his gaze, let out a long sigh, and said, "Hey, Xifeng, you said I did this, right?"
Xi Feng was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Mrs. Ruoshui, my subordinates don't dare to judge whether you did it right or not, but please believe that the sect master must be the one who loves you the most." ”
Liu Ruoshui glanced at Xi Feng suspiciously, as if he had figured out something, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Then maybe I did the right thing, okay, let's go to the dining room and wait for the adults!"
"Yes!"
In the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion, Lin Mo, who was following Xue Hanyan, walked slowly, and Lin Mo was followed by Jiang Fengwan and the three daughters, and Qiu Yun was walking at the end as if he was leaving the ground, his eyes fluttering, as if he was in a fugue.
"Ouch-"
Xue Hanyan, who was walking in the front, didn't know what was going on, so she suddenly screamed, stopped her steps, covered her stomach, showed a painful look on her face, and her nose and eyebrows were almost together.
"What's the matter, Second Madam?" Lin Mo asked with concern.
Holding his stomach and turning around, Xue Hanyan looked painful, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Shangqing, my concubine's body suddenly dares to feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid I can't take you to see Zhao Yunlian." ”
Glancing meaningfully at Xue Hanyan, whose face was full of pain, Lin Mo said lightly: "It's okay, since the second lady is not feeling well, then go back to the room to rest." ”
After thinking quietly for a while, Xue Hanyan endured the pain and saluted Lin Mo, and said, "Thank you for your compassion, Sister Fengwan, they all know where Zhao Yunlian is, and the three of them will take you to see you." ”
"Go ahead, get some rest, drink plenty of hot water. ”
"Thank you Lord Shangqing for your concern, in this way, the concubine will retire first" Xue Hanyan saluted again, and then left with the support of the maid and the maid, with not very smooth steps.
As soon as Xue Hanyan left, Lin Mo found that the atmosphere behind him had become a little wrong, and Jiang Fengwan and Qiu Lianlian, who were behind him, waved away the servant girl who was with him.
Later, Zhao Suqing may have some concerns, and he also waved away his attendant maid.
Lin Mo was busy looking for Qiu Yun's figure in the blink of an eye, but where was Qiu Yun's shadow, and he didn't know when he disappeared, nor where he disappeared, but he must have followed secretly.
continued to walk under his feet, and just as Lin Mo was about to withdraw his gaze to find Qiu Yun, Jiang Fengwan behind him suddenly walked to Lin Mo's side, with a charming smile in his eyes, and that posture seemed to want to eat Lin Mo in one bite.
Blinking at Lin Mo's bewildering eyes, Jiang Fengwan straightened up her proud curves and said in a coquettish voice: "Lord Shangqing, the concubine has something to ask you for, I wonder if you can send kindness to help the concubine?"
