Chapter 278: Night Dive
Tonight, the Lu Mansion was as calm and deserted as ever.
The team has all driven back to Yicheng, only Lu Lu's courtyard is still a little popular, and it is strange that the entire Lu Mansion is not deserted.
Lu Lu's house is bright, with a lamp on the top and a brazier on the bottom, reflecting the light of this room.
I don't blame her for spending the lamp, but today Master Zeng is back again.
The two of them set up the wine table and whispered on the couch, and the spring grass and summer patterns were all sent to sleep, and only the sturdy maids from the Duan Mansion were guarding the inside and outside.
"Mr. Zeng, what did Mr. Deng say?" Lu Lu got straight to the point and asked directly.
Zeng Fuzi smiled bitterly: "Mr. Deng, she didn't figure it out. β
"Then, did you return to Beijing this time for a purpose?"
"Sort of."
Lu Lu whispered, slowly sipped his tea, and asked, "Did Mr. Deng also come to Beijing?" β
Master Zeng raised his eyes and looked at her.
"If she hadn't figured it out, she would naturally go to Beijing in person, right? She didn't come to vote for me, because she complained in her heart, right? β
"Yes." Zeng Fuzi sighed: "She also went to Beijing, but she said that this is a matter of Youfu and does not want to involve the Lu Mansion, so she lives elsewhere temporarily." β
"Then why aren't you with her?" Lu Lu was puzzled.
Zeng Fuzi smiled slightly: "Didn't you say that there is a big matter that needs my help?" My words count. β
"Thank you, sir." Lu Lu personally added tea for her, raised the cup in front of him, respectfully and solemnly: "Please forgive me for replacing wine with tea, and I will give Mr. a cup." With that, he raised his neck and drank it all.
Zeng Fuzi was also moved, and raised his glass and drank it all.
The lights burst and exploded, and the atmosphere in the house was harmonious.
Lu Lu was very happy tonight. Unconsciously, I said a little more about Heguo.
"This Ming Pingzhi, I was on the run back then. Heard it too. Zeng Fuzi frowned and said: "This person is very important to the king in the country, but he is extremely cruel and lustful. and the people of the kingdom also have many complaints. β
"How's it going?"
Zeng Fuzi thought about it. said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he is good at swords, good at arranging formations, and has brute strength, but his wit is insufficient. Acting impulsively. β
"Is it really brave and unscrupulous? It doesn't look like it. Lu Lu shook his head.
The general who can lead the troops to attack the capital of Qi in five years is only brave, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do the Xianfeng Army, right?
"What, he offended you?" Zeng Fuzi didn't know that Lu Lu had a common enmity with him.
Lu Lu sneered: "The enemy I want to kill the most in my life." β
"Huh? Such a sea of blood and hatred. How do you make a feud? Zeng Fuzi was taken aback.
Lu Lu didn't say anything, but he hated it: "Yes, there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and I will never forget it when I die." I can't say anything about the process of making a feud, in short, he must die. β
Zeng Fuzi groaned and asked in a low voice: "The big thing you said is also revenge?" β
"Yes."
"Could it be that this person is in the capital now?" Zeng's mind also turned fast.
Lu Lu slowly lowered his eyelids.
Zeng Fuzi was shocked. Whispered even more: "Could it be that he is mixed in with the special envoys of the country?" And you want to ......" she made a neck wiping motion.
"Not exactly. This scumbag did not come with the peace envoy in the light, but quietly sneaked into the capital of Qi State. His whereabouts are revealed and he is being hunted down. β
There was a moment of silence, and Zengfuzi's mind was digesting the information.
"Him. His whereabouts are exposed, so he must have absconded, right? So how do you get revenge? Zeng Fuzi suddenly thought of himself, and secretly thought to himself: Miss Lu won't invite herself to kill Ming Pingzhi, right?
"Nope. He had no chance of escaping the city. It's still in Yujing City. Lu Lu is sure.
There are three princes and Duan Mian who joined forces to encircle and suppress, and Ming Pingzhi is difficult to fly.
It's just that. It is not easy for them to rush into the embassy of the peace country to search, and it is not good to tear their faces in the end. Although all kinds of evidence pointed to Ming Heiji, the witness testimony was not obtained, so he could only watch and wait for him to jump out and die.
Zeng Fuzi didn't understand it even more.
"So, Miss Lu, you stayed in the capital alone for this matter?"
"Yes."
"Waiting for Duan Shizi to capture Ming Pingzhi?"
Lu Lu blinked, shook his head and smiled: "Huh? Why wait for him to be captured? Is it better for me to have a grudge against that brute or do I do it myself? β
Zeng Fuzi deeply doubted this.
"You?" How many catties and taels she has, Zeng Fuzi knows in his heart.
Eloquence may be good, and there is also cleverness, but to deal with a general of Heguo, I'm afraid eloquence and cleverness are not enough.
"Mr. Zeng, please wait and see, right? I think soon, there will be results. Lu Lu is full of confidence.
Rumors about Duan Mian and her have spread all over the capital, of course, the follow-up version is very unreliable, and the rumors are unrecognizable, but the core has not changed. And above the court, if the country does not get the desired result in the end, it must be annoyed and angry.
There must be a place to vent this anger, right?
For the princes, they were helpless. For Duan Mian, he made a few small movements and gave up. But he has a fiancΓ©e who cares about a lot but is not a lady of the family, and the opportunity should not be missed.
According to the practice of merchants.
There are patrols at night, mainly to prevent thieves. There are also mothers-in-law who carry lanterns to inspect again, mainly to check that the ladies and girls are resting. Then he closed the door to eat and gamble, who would have thought that on a dark winter night, a master would visit the courtyard of the merchant lady?
Ming Pingzhi didn't take much effort to enter the Lu Mansion.
It was pitch black, with the occasional dog barking, and only movement in the direction of the corner gate, which was the muttering of the night watchwoman.
The patrol courtyard is all in the outer room, and the inner courtyard cannot be entered, so the four corner doors of the inner courtyard are tightly closed.
Well, these situations are in line with the secret report.
It is impossible for the wealthy businessman of Lu Mansion to have lights on all night, only the main house of Lu Lu in the inner courtyard is still lit with some flickering lights.
There are also two lamps under the corridor of the main hall, and the light is faint, reflecting the frosty color of the steps.
In the side room, there is the sound of girls snoring, quiet and lonely.
Ming Heiji is also an old fox after all, and he is used to acting cautiously. Rao was such a quiet winter night, he was still in the dark place, and quietly observed for a long time.
I saw a girl go out and run to the wool house, I also saw a girl carrying water into the house, I heard laughter coming from the house, and I also saw a mother-in-law who patrolled the night every half an hour with a lantern and told the girl to be careful of the lamps and candles.
In the end, he also saw that the lights in the main house were bright, and the eldest girl of the Lu family sent another woman in her twenties out of the house, and told a fat girl who didn't talk like this: "Dongmei, I will help Mr. Sheng to go back to the house." β
Oh sir? The female master invited by the Lu family.
The fat girl easily carried the female master back to the back porch, and after a series of washing, she blew out the lamp and stopped.
In the main room, many girls went in and out, and soon took out the tea tray and the like and went to the side room, and there were girls holding face wash water coming out, and after being busy, the lights in the room were blown out one by one.
This is the official meaning of bedtime.
The north wind was howling, and Ming Heiji was frozen and frozen, but his heart was hot.
Duan Mian's fiancΓ©e is so lovely, just taking hostage or robbing and killing doesn't seem to be enough to vent her anger and hatred, hehe! Little beauty, how about we send a green hat to the famous Duan Shizi? (To be continued.) )
