Tonight's lull is calm and stormy.

Master Lu's side is relatively calm and waveless, but there are a lot of guards and family members in the alley connected to the second master's mansion. The chief butler, Chow Tai Fook, is urgently deploying manpower to strengthen the defense.

A little steward hurriedly came over and said, "Go back to the big housekeeper, and the little servants who left their posts without permission at the second moment of Shen Shi are all taken to the side hall......"

"Don't you see I'm busy here?" Chow Tai Fook angrily reprimanded: "Add to the chaos." ”

The little steward was stunned, isn't this what you ordered to verify?

"Write down the name and the head of the assigned room." Chow Tai Fook thought about it and commanded again.

"Yes, the little one understands." The little steward Shi Yili hurriedly went again.

And Lu Yi's mansion is even more busy.

The lights were bright, the nurses looked nervous, and the two of them searched all corners of the front yard.

Lu Jing and Lu Yi stood in the most luxurious guest room of the Begonia Pavilion, looking at the wolves left by the fight on the ground and the blood stains on the floor tiles, the sweat on their heads kept seeping.

"How so? Who leaked the news? Lu Jing picked up the familiar thick wool trench coat and asked.

Lu Yi spread his hands and said distressedly: "I'm afraid it's not leaked in the house." The people sent by the Begonia Pavilion are all strict-mouthed people. ”

"Is there anything unusual today?"

Lu Du was next to him, and he stepped forward and whispered, "Go back to Uncle." Today, Lin Gongzi returned home from time to time, and his face was still full of joy. also pulled his little nephew to play chess with him until three o'clock. ”

Lu Jing asked calmly: "What about after three minutes?" You didn't go to school today? ”

Lu Du replied: "The little nephew felt a little cold and took a leave of absence from Mr. for three days." Three minutes later, Lin Gongzi said that he wanted to sleep for a while, and the little nephew withdrew. Until the end of the hour......"

It wasn't until this moment that the guards urgently reported that something had happened in the Begonia Pavilion that the old and young masters of the Lu Mansion rushed over in surprise.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Lu Yi raised his head and sighed: The envoy of the third prince is unknown in his own mansion, how can he explain this? can't report to the official yet, and can't let the people from the Second Prince's faction know, otherwise, the consequences, let alone him, the entire Lu Mansion can't afford it.

"Wait. From the third quarter of the hour to the first quarter of the hour, almost an hour in between, what happened? Who is on duty? Lu Jing keenly found that there was a blank space for an hour that did not match.

Lu Yi looked sad and replied: "Big brother doesn't know. There are a total of 20 guards on duty in this Begonia Pavilion, divided into two shifts. Ten people on the day shift have ......"

Lu Du hurriedly added: "Dad, although the leader of the guards is seriously injured, he still has a breath, and he is now being rescued in the outer courtyard." ”

"Oh?" Lu Yi's eyes lit up, and then asked, "The doctor you invited?" ”

"Yang's."

That is, Lu Yi's concubine Yang's maiden medicine shop, Lu Du's real grandfather's family. Even if you are your own person, you won't make a fuss if you know the roots.

Lu Jing nodded and asked, "Except for Lin Gongzi who is gone, can he find the two guards and two little guys with him?" ”

Lu Yi sighed: "It's all dead!" ”

So he moved to the place where the dead were parked. On the wide ground lay several blood-stained corpses.

After examining the fatal wound, Lu Jing said calmly: "The guards of our Lu Mansion are basically fatal with one sword, and Lin Gongzi's guards seem to have fought. As for these two little guys, they were first drugged and then killed. ”

"Uncle, from the perspective of the little nephew, it is not like the reckless behavior of the rivers and lakes." Lu Du's expression was also solemn and solemn.

The people present looked at each other, not only shocked but more suspicious.

Who else can infiltrate the land mansion and strike accurately without harming others, except for the well-trained and premeditated official force?

And the only people who hurt the killer, left no living mouth, and were bent on getting rid of the Begonia Pavilion were only the people of the second prince.

It's just that, how did they know that Lin Gongzi, the envoy of the three princes, was hidden in Lu Yi's mansion? How do they sneak in without alerting anyone else? And how did you get out of it?

What's even more terrifying is that they have the information that Lu Fu has contacted the envoy of the Three Princes, so is this doing this now to kill chickens and police monkeys or is it a poisonous trick to deal with Lu Mansion with a greater amount of money?

The outer courtyard was brightly lit and noisy, which naturally alarmed the ladies in the inner courtyard.

Shi sent his mother to the second gate to invite the master, but he really couldn't invite the master, so it was good to call the young master in.

Rong's mother took the order.

The Yang family and the Hu family also hurried over to accompany the Shi family and waited anxiously.

They also sent their mother-in-law to visit the letter, and when they reached the second gate, they asked the family to coax them back. And the attitude is very strong, not to mention tactful inquiry, the silver is reprimanded by the guards in the front yard.

It didn't take long for Lu Kang to come in and say goodbye.

"My son, what the hell is going on?" Shi pulled his son and asked worriedly.

Although Lu Kang is only thirteen years old, his demeanor is old and serious, and he has the demeanor of a son-in-law.

"Back to Mother. entered the thief and stole a beloved playpiece from his father's study. did not run away, and is being tracked in the house. The father sent his son in and gave a command: Every family should close their doors and windows, and if they encounter suspicious people, they should immediately report to the outer court, and they should not make a noise, and those who violate it will be severely punished! ”

As soon as Shi heard it, he knew that something was wrong.

Does Lu Mansion seem to be able to enter the thief's house lightly? Entering the thief's study, he dared to steal the outer study, was he ghosted? This night, Lu Yi is in the outer study, can he still let the thief take away his favorite device? Well, even if it was stolen, this large-scale search, and the tone of the inner house to keep to oneself has never appeared.

"I see. There you go. Be careful. Shi patted his son's hand and signaled that he understood.

Lu Kang also saw from his mother's eyes that she understood the deep meaning of this, so he surrendered his hand with confidence and hurriedly withdrew.

Yang and Hu are both delicate people, and naturally they also smell a hint of unusualness.

The outer courtyard is chaotic like this, Lu Yi didn't go into the inner house to personally appease this group of women, and sent his sister-in-law Lu Kang in to explain such a seemingly wrong, something must have happened!

"Do you hear that? Close the doors and windows, hold the mother-in-law and the girl tightly, and do not move around at will. Don't make a fuss about anything. If there is any suspicious person, report it quietly and there will be a reward. If the people who shout are panicked, they will be severely punished. ”

The Shi family has been the housewife for more than ten years, and she has both means and temper.

On weekdays, she is also a tolerant housewife, but if there is really anything big, she is also a person with clear rewards and punishments.

Yang and Hu hurriedly lowered their heads and responded respectfully: "Yes, madam." ”

The atmosphere in the front yard was unprecedentedly busy and dignified, but the back house was dead and panicked.

The Yang family and the Hu family each went back to their respective courtyards and restrained the mothers-in-law and girls in the courtyard. Lu Mingshu was also startled, and came directly to the same yard with his biological mother to keep warm.

Shi Shi was not idle, but took dozens of stout women with big shoulders and round waists, carrying lanterns to personally inspect the inner courtyard.

Although Lu Yi only has one wife and two concubines, the back house is wide, there are many pavilions and pavilions, and the flowers and trees are luxuriant.

When the housewife gave up comfort and personally patrolled the night, how could the other mothers-in-law and girls dare to be lazy, and they all cheered up, looking at the four roads and ears in all directions, and making it difficult to enter the back house.

It is said that after Lu Yi learned about Shi's actions afterwards, he praised his wife and husband for their lack of misfortune, and the ancients were honest and deceived me! It's even more respectful!
