138. Discover the horse's feet
Feng Zhaoqi thought that some kind of small people were going to enter Fengfu to steal, and secretly wondered how to attract the officers and soldiers who patrolled the city and take these people down first.
After waiting for a while, I saw a few figures coming out of the mouth of the alley, and they seemed to be very careful to spy around, and when they saw that there was nothing strange around, they went back and lured the people inside.
I saw three donkey carts slowly driving out of the alley, and two large wooden boxes were placed on each cart, so that the wheels of the cart pressed two deep marks on the ground.
Feng Zhaoqi's eyes widened in surprise, only to feel that these thieves were too bold, where is this ordinary theft, this is to empty the treasury of Fengfu!
Feng Zhaoqi didn't dare to act rashly, and saw that those people were walking in the direction where he was hiding, so he hurriedly hid inside.
When the convoy got closer, Feng Zhaoqi also heard a few inaudible words.
The girl said...... The old man became suspicious...... Recently inconvenient ...... That's all ......"
It turned out to be a woman's voice. Feng Zhaoqi was slightly familiar with this voice, and he always felt as if he had heard it somewhere. Only after the convoy had passed over did he lean out of the corner of the wall where he was hiding, squinting his eyes and staring fiercely at the dark shadows in front of him.
There are a few tall and big shadows that look like men, but there is also a petite figure walking in the middle, although he is dressed as a small girl, he walks with a curling grace, and he is clearly a woman.
The woman turned her face to look at the wooden box on the car while telling something, and by the still bright moonlight, Feng Zhaoqi finally barely saw the woman's side face.
It's her! It was actually the personal big girl Xiangye next to the Lu family.
Feng Zhaoqi was so surprised that his heart was even more confused.
Is this sticking to self-theft? Is it the Grand Lady? But why
Feng Zhaoqi was pondering, but the little guy pulled him back suddenly.
"Young Master!" The little guy whispered with a bitter face, and pointed his fingers outward.
Feng Zhaoqi's heart sank, and he looked again, but saw that Xiangye actually walked back with a few people, and walked towards the place where he was hiding with a suspicious face.
Feng Zhaoqi slammed back against the wall, his heart beating wildly.
The little guy hurriedly said: "What should I do, what should I do, young master?" ”
Those people don't seem to be good people, what will happen if they find out that the master and servant are actually hiding here and seeing their deeds?!
The people outside were getting closer and closer, and the two were clinging to each other against the corner, sweaty and heavily clothed.
As the footsteps approached, Shoba jerked around the corner of the wall and held the torch to the surroundings. But there was no one in front of the meeting, only some messy garbage scattered on the ground.
"Miss Xiangye, don't be suspicious, it's serious to send things back quickly. The Commander has something to tell you. Someone said impatiently.
Although Xiangye was a person from Lu's side, he didn't dare to offend these people, so he could only press the fox suspicion and follow the convoy.
After a while, Feng Zhaoqi and Xiaowu poked their heads out of the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?! What do you want to do in the middle of the night?! A loud shout suddenly sounded at the feet, and a small group of officers and soldiers appeared by the wall at some point, and they were raising their heads and shouting at the two of them viciously.
Feng Zhaoqi and Xiao Wu looked at each other and went down the wall in a gloomy manner.
In the end, he returned to Fengfu without danger, so as not to alarm Feng Yunfei to come out and see the trouble he broke into, Feng Zhaoqi could only smile and be polite to the officers and soldiers who sent him back to his house, and then sent people away.
Feng Zhaoqi wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly walked to his yard.
After Xiangye came back, he first went to Lu's room to report the situation of the trip, but at the end he hesitated a little.
Lu Shi glanced at her: "What else is going on?" Don't spit it out. ”
Xiangye hurriedly said, "Yes, madam." Madam, when I was transporting things just now, the slave maid always felt ...... It seems to have been seen by someone. ”
Lu's fingers tightened, and his sharp eyes looked at him, and Xiangye was so frightened that he knelt down: "It's just that it was too dark at the time, and the slave and maid couldn't see it really, and the commander was in a hurry, and the slave didn't dare to delay......"
"Whatever you see, say it all." Lu Shi said in a deep voice. If it's a beggar with nowhere to go, it doesn't matter if they're seen. What will make Xiangye so nervous must not be an inconsequential person.
Xiangye bit her lip, raised her head and said, "Madam, the slave thinks ...... That figure, like a young master! ”
Lu's eyes sank, and he slowly rubbed the tea bowl: "Go on." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Xiangye stabilized her heart and said slowly: "...... The slave maid originally just thought that the figure was a little familiar, but just now I heard from Menzi that the eldest young master had just returned to the house. The eldest lady, the slave and maid are now seventy percent sure, that person is likely to be the eldest young master! ”
The room fell silent instantly, and Xiangye hung her head, not looking at Lu's family. After a while, Lu Shi said, "I know." Thank you for your hard work, you can go back and rest first. ”
Xiangye let out a sigh of relief, got up from the ground and retreated.
"Mama Fang." Lu Shi called. A figure emerged from the inner chamber and stood still in front of her.
"That kid...... Can't stay past tonight. Lu's voice said in a deep voice, "I can't wait for him to see Feng Yunfei tomorrow." ”
Mama Fang didn't have a trace of expression on her face, but replied respectfully: "The old slave knows." The old slave will not let the girl down. ”
It's just that for the seventy percent possibility, they can't take that risk. Feng Yunfei was already suspicious, and he must not let Feng Zhaoqi add fuel to the fire in front of him.
Lu Shi nodded and closed his eyes tiredly: "I'll rest first." ”
Feng Zhaoqi's yard.
The master and servant were shocked, and sat on the couch together with big eyes and small eyes.
After a while, Feng Zhaoqi got up and said, "No, this matter is not trivial, I have to sue my father!" After saying that, he raised his feet and left, and the little guy hurriedly stopped him.
"Alas, my eldest young master, who is still awake at this hour? Who does the eldest young master want to see? disturbed the master's dream, and if you want to sue the lady again, you are not afraid that the master will be annoyed. ”
Feng Zhaoqi couldn't help but feel a little disheartened when he thought of Feng Yunfei's trust in the Lu family.
"That's it, it's my own too much to worry about."
The little guy hurriedly persuaded: "The little one will go to the outside of the master's yard to guard immediately, and I will inform the young master when the master is together." ”
Without waiting for Feng Zhaoqi to say anything more, a soft announcement suddenly came from outside.
"The eldest young master, the third girl has come to see the eldest young master."
Feng Zhaoqi was slightly startled and looked at the little guy: "Didn't you say that no one is awake at this hour?" ”
Xiaowu: "......" Who knows that the third girl can still know the movement here in the middle of the night!
As she spoke, Feng Zhaolin had already walked in gracefully, dressed in home clothes, her hair was only loosely pulled, and she had obviously just gotten up from bed.
Seeing Feng Zhaoqi, who looked a little cold, Feng Zhaolin's red lips pursed slightly, and she gave a blessing: "I've seen big brother." ”
Feng Zhaoqi said: "Excuse me." I'm not your eldest brother, our eldest brother is now in the Yuanwang Mansion. It was so late at night, and my sister could inquire clearly about the movement in her brother's yard. ”
Feng Zhaolin listened to his salty and indifferent words, and a trace of discomfort appeared on her face.
"Will my brother always be so cold to me in the future? I sent someone to keep an eye on my brother's yard, and I knew that my brother would return to the house in a few days, but if you avoided me forever and didn't say a word to me, I could only come to you at this time. What did I do wrong, my brother is going to do this to me? After saying that, he burst into tears.
Feng Zhaoqi frowned slightly, and he didn't know what to do.
Because Xiao Yu had already exposed the true face of the Lu family to him, and the Lu family's theft of the dowry, coupled with tonight's incident, Feng Zhaoqi was really this stepmother in his heart. Feng Zhaolin was the daughter of that woman, and he naturally didn't want to get too close.
It's just that I didn't expect Feng Zhaolin, who had always been polite, to run to him at night so recklessly.
Feng Zhaolin wiped the moist corners of her eyes: "No matter what my brother thinks of my mother, I haven't been sorry for my eldest brother and brother, you can't treat me like this." ”
Feng Zhaoqi said impatiently: "The positions are different, let's just not meet!" When your mother framed me before, I didn't see you say a good word for me. ”
"I don't want it." Feng Zhaolin's slightly reddened eyes stared, but this time she was extra insistent, "I don't speak for my brother's sake, whether you believe it or not." Besides, that's my mother, and my brother has to be considerate of my situation. ”
Feng Zhaoqi became more and more impatient, and was about to send Feng Zhaolin away mercilessly, but heard someone outside preach: "Mama Li is here." ”
Feng Zhaoqi said: "This is a strange thing, in the middle of the night, neither of you sleeps, but you have made an appointment to run to me together." ”
Mama Li is Feng Zhaoqi's grandmother, she hurriedly walked into the house at this time, and shouted before entering the door: "I know that the eldest young master came back in the middle of the night again, every time it is like this, how can the body stand it, just a day and a half of time?" ”
Mama Li was followed by two little maids, still carrying a food box in her hand, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Feng Zhaolin, and hurriedly saluted and smiled: "The third girl is also here, the young master is very lively here." ”
Feng Zhaolin wiped her reddened eyes and stepped aside without speaking. Mama Li didn't care too much, and was busy with the little maid putting those meals on the table.
"The eldest young master should be tired and hungry after rushing overnight, hurry up and eat something to cushion his stomach, I looked at the lazy thing to boil the bath water for the eldest young master. Go back and take a good shower, get a good night's sleep, and have a good night's sleep no matter what. Mama Li said that she went out in a hurry, and the two little maids had to lower their heads and withdraw after finishing the meal.
"Wait." Feng Zhaolin saw one of them out of the corner of her eye, her heart moved, and she hurriedly stopped the two of them.
The two little maids hurriedly stopped and stood respectfully in place.
Feng Zhaolin walked over, stopped in front of one of them, frowned and looked at her for a moment: "You raise your head." ”
The maid slowly looked up at Feng Zhaolin, and then lowered her head again.
With just one glance, Feng Zhaolin felt a chill in her heart. She turned around sharply and walked to the table and snatched the soup soup from Feng Zhaoqi's hand.
"You are not allowed to eat it." Feng Zhaolin's face turned pale.
Feng Zhaoqi looked at her angrily: "What are you doing?!" ”
"I can't eat it." Feng Zhaolin said, turning her head and glancing at the two maids coldly.
Mama Li was taking advantage of this time to step into the threshold, and when she saw the tense atmosphere inside, she smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Why do you still have a dispute after eating? ”
Feng Zhaolin looked at Mama Li and said coldly: "My brother doesn't eat this meal, Mama will remove the dishes." ”
Mama Li's face froze, and she sneered again: "What do you mean by this, third girl?" Don't you dislike the old slave and the food is not to the girl's heart? It is not easy to get food in the middle of the night, and I hope that the girl will be considerate of her, and she will also be considerate of the body of the eldest young master. ”
Feng Zhaoqi was hungry and panicked, but was blocked by Feng Zhaolin and refused to eat, and he was even more impatient.
"Okay, don't make a mess here, go back to sleep." After that, I sat down and prepared to eat.
"I can't eat it." Feng Zhaolin was anxious, and rushed over to grab his chopsticks again, "There is a problem with this meal, brother, don't eat it." ”
Feng Zhaoqi hadn't said anything yet, and Mama Li's face had changed.
"This is the meal that the old slave personally gave to the young master, and the girl said that there was a problem, could it be that the old slave would harm the young master?!"
Where can Feng Zhaolin say, she is not suspicious of Mama Li, she is suspicious of that little maid, who is clearly the rough maid who listens to the errand in the Lu family's courtyard!
In the middle of the night, the food was delivered to the door, and the maid in the Lu family's courtyard personally sent it away, if you want to say that there is no problem, Feng Zhaolin herself doesn't believe it.
Feng Zhaoqi didn't know what he meant, so he pushed Feng Zhaolin away with all his hands and feet, and said angrily: "What kind of mess are you making, don't pull and pull!" ”
Feng Zhaolin didn't follow, pulled Feng Zhaoqi, pointed at Mama Li and said, "You have to prove that there is no problem, you can eat it yourself!" ”
Where could Mama Li stand this kind of agitation, and immediately stepped forward: "Eat, eat!" Although the old slave is a slave, he also knows the importance of character and heart. The old slave will never be wronged! ”
"Mama, no." The two little maids hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "The young master is so tired, does Mama want the young master to eat your leftovers?" ”
When Feng Zhaolin saw this, she was even more sure that there was definitely something wrong with the meal.
"Well, no one should eat it. My brother is not allowed to eat either. Feng Zhaolin looked at Feng Zhaoqi.
Feng Zhaoqi was troubled by her and had no appetite, and frowned: "I can't eat it." Okay, don't make a fuss, what about the show? ”
Feng Zhaolin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and the little maid suddenly stepped forward to support her, and said in a low voice: "Young master, there are slaves and maids waiting here, so let's go back and rest." If the eldest lady knew that the girl didn't sleep in the middle of the night, she wouldn't know what it would be like to feel distressed. ”
Feng Zhaolin's eyelashes narrowed. This is to remind her that she is the daughter of the Lu family after all, and only the Lu family will really feel sorry for her.
It's just that when she leaves, won't these two maids still find a way to coax her brother to eat some problematic meals?
Feng Zhaolin thought for a moment, her eyes sank, and she suddenly walked to the table, picked up chopsticks and ate it.
Feng Zhaoqi was frightened and hurriedly pulled her hand: "What is this for?!" Are you so hungry? ”
Feng Zhaolin ignored him, and just gulped the food into her mouth.
As long as it proves that there is a problem in the food, my brother will definitely not eat these things lightly.
It's just that Feng Zhaolin didn't expect that there was indeed a problem in this meal as she thought, but it was not the kind of small problem she thought she wanted to punish Feng Zhaoqi.
In this meal, there is a poison that pierces the intestines and destroys the stomach!
Feng Zhaolin only ate two bites, and then felt a sharp pain suddenly rise from her abdomen, so painful that she couldn't stand still, and immediately fell to the ground.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and Feng Zhaoqi's anxious expression shook in front of her eyes, gradually fading into a blur of light and shadow.
