Chapter 132: Rumors
The changes that happened in Bao'an Temple are too unbelievable, even if the government desperately blocks the news. But within two days, the Yicheng teahouse tavern still quietly spread.
There are several versions.
One is that the nobles are too high-profile to enter the incense, causing the nearby gangsters to covet, so they quietly pretend to be pilgrims and want to mix in the muddy water to fish, and seek wealth. There were no other losses, only the nobles were frightened.
Other rumors are close to the truth. Because of his wisdom and martial arts, the prince of Duan repeatedly made military exploits on the border, which made the people of Hehe frightened. couldn't fight face-to-face, so he took advantage of Duan Shizi's return to Beijing to secretly kill the killer in order to prevent future troubles. Who knows that stealing chickens in Bao'an Temple is not a loss of rice. The rumors finally swore that someone had seen the officers and soldiers of the brigade escorting the Heguo gangsters to Beijing.
There is another bizarre version that says that in the dispute between the princes of the capital, the Duan family clearly stood on the side of the second prince, so it annoyed the three princes. This time, when the Duan family and the noblewomen of the Shangguan Mansion were out of the capital, the people from the Three Princes' faction wanted to disguise themselves as gangsters and blend in with the nobles to do something and knock on the Duan Mansion, and even guessed that this group of people wanted to make the reputation of the Duan Mansion stink, so that they could no longer support the Second Prince......
'Poof' Lu Lu squirted out a mouthful of tea.
The last version is too imaginative, isn't it? Who made it up? It's a shame not to write a novel.
This is the follow-up news that Lu Lu heard from Lu Du's mouth.
At this moment, she sat in the hall to entertain Lu Du, who had not come to the door for a long time, and talked about what happened in Bao'an Temple in a few words.
Lu Du looked at her speechlessly.
"I'm sorry, brother, I really can't hold back." Lu Lu wiped the tea on his lips and smiled apologetically.
"Although this rumor is not reliable, it is not unreasonable." Lu Du took two steps with his hands behind his back.
Lu Lu waved his hand and smiled: "Stop, big brother, don't talk about these things about the court." I don't want to know. ”
"Well, it's best if you think so. But ......" Lu Du turned his head to look at her, helpless: "I'm afraid I can't help you." ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Lu is strange.
Lu Du glanced at the hall, there were no outsiders; Outside the hall. His own little guy guarded.
"I came here today to give my sister a letter." Lu Du's voice lowered and said, "In the evening, my uncle will send someone to invite my sister to come to the study to talk." Be prepared. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Lu lifted his heart, and his face changed slightly.
Lu Du lowered his eyes and blinked. It's hard to say much, only vaguely pointed: "It has something to do with Special Envoy Lin." ”
Hiss ~ toothache.
Lu Lu took a breath, his eyes turned up and down, left and right, and he knew in his heart: the third prince had really arrived at the Lu Mansion.
"Isn't this thing in the past? And what do you do with it? ”
Lu Du was noncommittal and whispered: "Actually, I haven't revealed it." Sister Lu, you're right. This matter is considered to have been held in our house. ”
"Oh!" Lu Lu understood.
It is an indisputable fact that Envoy Lin was the confidant of the third prince, and he died in the Lu Mansion. Although everyone tacitly knew that this was the hand of the people sent by the Second Prince, they wanted to shock the Lu Mansion. The second is to send a little color to the three princes, and the third is that it may be related to the assassination of Duan Mian Qingyunguan and Yicheng.
But if the Lu Mansion wants to withdraw from the battle for the prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
He wants to re-align and switch to the camp of the second prince, but I'm afraid he won't be able to. As for the death of Chong Lin's special envoy, the people sent by the three princes will definitely make a big fuss, and they will definitely bind the Lu Mansion to a camp.
"Big brother, just now you said that the rumors in the city have a certain amount of truth, does it indicate that a certain character has come to Yicheng?"
Lu Du's face was rare and solemn: "Don't guess. ”
"I'm not guessing, I've analyzed it carefully. Big brother, do you listen to my guess? Lu Lu also lowered his voice. Said: "Is it that the third prince himself came to our mansion and wanted to ask him face to face about the death of Envoy Lin that night, so he summoned me to the study for questioning tonight?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Du took a step back in shock, and stared at Lu Lu with ghostly eyes.
All-in! How did she guess it all?
This sister. It's not easy!
Did she really raise herself in a country village since she was a child? Was she really born that smart? Can you draw inferences from one case and analyze the truth if you understand it thoroughly?
"Sister Lu, you, why do you guess that?" Lu Du asked rhetorically with difficulty.
Lu Lu squeezed his eyes slyly and raised his finger: "First, there have been a lot of things in the house recently. The eldest brother suddenly had to go over the bamboo garden in person, he should have come to remind me vaguely, right? Second, the boiling rumors spread in the city, the most bizarre version involves the third prince, and it is definitely no wind and no waves, indicating that he himself may come to Yicheng. Third, he went to the study at night, and it was related to Envoy Lin. On the whole, I guess that the third prince wanted to meet the last person that Envoy Lin saw before he died, and he might want to know some details. ”
The three fingers were erected, and Lu Du's eyes widened wider, and he stared at her for a long time.
After a while, he sighed faintly: "Sister Lu, it's a pity that you are not a man!" ”
"Hey, that's right. If I were a man, I would definitely do something vigorous and big, and I would never live in this small bamboo garden. Lu Lu was not ashamed to boast.
Lu Du smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what you learned in the township?" However, Sister Lu, I want to correct it a little. I came to the Bamboo Garden today, not to remind you vaguely, but to interrogate you curiously. ”
"Oh?" Lu Lu's eyes turned away flexibly, and he stretched out his hand to twist the dim sum into the entrance, and suddenly said: "About Duan Shizi?" ”
This, this is too smart, right? Obviously, he didn't say anything, he didn't have any hints, how could he answer correctly?
Could it be that Lu Lu was raised in the countryside and had to meet strange people to teach him mind reading?
Looking at Lu Du's overly surprised look, Lu Lu knew that he had guessed again, and secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart: Praise!
"Sister Lu, I really didn't know you were so smart?" Lu Du wiped his forehead and had to admire.
Lu Lu pouted with a smile: "What's so hard to guess about this?" There were so many people in Bao'an Temple that day, and there must be a lot of people. Duan Shizi's every move was all in the spotlight, and it just so happened that I had good luck again, and if he said a few words, there would naturally be gossip. ”
"That's right." Lu Du shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, the rumors about you are all covered up in the rumors of the accident in Bao'an Temple, otherwise it would ......"
Lu Lu shrugged indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, the old lady in our house likes to hear it." ”
"Not necessarily." Lu Du lowered his head and laughed silently: "I was happy to see it before, if I can climb up to the Duan Mansion, I can fall to the Second Prince's faction, but now I ......" Now that the Third Prince's visit is here, I am afraid that they will break their determination to join the Second Prince's faction.
Naturally, the entanglement between Lu Lu and Duan Mian is no longer a joy to see, but I am afraid that it will be a hot potato.
At this point, Lu Lu sorted out the causes and consequences a little and figured it out, but he didn't take it to heart.
She smiled and urged: "Okay, big brother, you came here today, what are you going to interrogate me about?" Sister, I must answer all questions, and never perfunctory" (to be continued.) )
