Chapter 286: Extinguishing the Mouth
Shang Jiubai was bored, nesting under a towering ancient tree next to Xiangguo Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
From his position, he can overlook the entire Xiangguo Mansion, and even the backyard is vivid. Of course, he could only see the movement of the yard, and when he closed the doors and windows, his eyes were still black.
During the day, the Xiangguo Mansion was very quiet, and the servants who came and went were stared at by others, and no guests entered, and the number of people remained the same.
At night, the Xiangguo Mansion is even more deserted, a few lights swaying in the summer breeze, and there are occasional watchdogs in the front yard.
Shang Jiu casually looked at Xiangguofu and began to think about his thoughts.
He is not very old, and he has an older brother Shang Qi who has not yet started a family. But since I saw Duo Shou, my heart began to churn like waves. The eyebrows and eyes are so appropriate, and it is really comfortable to watch. Of course, the most important thing is to be pretty, and beautiful is not like a girl.
Later, he inquired that Mrs. Ji had been with her since she was a child, and she had always been a maid and a maid, so it was no wonder that her bearing was different from that of other maidservants.
In the middle of summer, the yamen was eventful, Shang Jiu couldn't take leave, and he couldn't stay in Liangshan all the time, and his heart was like a cat scratching. I finally inquired about the opportunity to get out of Liangshan, and grabbed it, just to see Duoshou.
I saw it, but I didn't understand the lovesickness. It shocked Ji Qianxia's news.
Let's not mention the information fee that was knocked out, he can still afford it anyway. Just the fact that Mrs. Ji is ready to choose someone to marry for Duoshou is enough for him to be excited and excited.
It's just that in terms of conditions, he still makes up for it, that is, the house......
Alas! Shang Jiu looked at the sky and pondered: Do you want to borrow some from your brothers first? It's just that the house is purchased, and the family has to keep up, plus the dowry or something, it's a big expense.
He just has that little bit of moon silver, and he usually doesn't save much, so he can't borrow everything from his brother, right?
Just sighing like this, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a lamp outside the door of Xiangguo's Mansion. The lantern-bearer knocked on the door, and soon it opened. After the concierge of the Lu family went to report, please enter the lantern man.
The night was very good, there were lights, Rao is Shang Jiu's eyes were good, but he still didn't see the other party's appearance clearly. But by virtue of her figure and walking posture, she is a woman, an elderly woman.
Sure enough, the lantern woman was introduced into the backyard.
Through the porch and through the door, he came to the outside of Lu Wenyin's house. Lu Wenyin only flashed in front of the window when he heard the voice, and did not come out, which shows that he is not a noble person.
Shang Jiu stared intently, his professional habits, and there was always a sense of ominousness.
About a tea time later, the lantern bearer went out. Returning the way you came, we quickly went out of the gate and headed towards the mountainside.
The lights in Lu Wenyin's house have been turned off.
Shang Jiu touched his chin, and when he couldn't make up his mind, he suddenly heard a short whistle, as if something was happening ahead.
Listening to the sound and arguing position, it is a bit like coming from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Shang Jiu was still stunned, and suddenly saw a light appear again. This time the lights are brighter, and there are quite a few people. Take a closer look, it turned out to be Ding Zhixian and Ji Qianxia who rushed over with people. Shang Jiu hurriedly jumped down, and after saluting Lord Ding, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Something is wrong with the Wu family. What about you here? ”
Shang Jiu was busy: "It's better to do something else, just now a woman went to see Miss Lu." ”
"Not good!" Ji Qianxia's face changed: "Lu Wenyin may be more fierce and less lucky." ”
Ding Zhixian smashed open the door of the Lu Mansion and went straight to the back house.
The Lu family's guards and servants didn't know what was going on, so they came out one after another, and when they saw that it was Ding Zhixian with an official errand, it was even more inexplicable.
Without much explanation, Ji Qianxia asked people to lead the way to Lu Wenyin's house.
"The eldest lady has already rested, and no one is allowed to disturb her."
"Go away." Ji Qianxia is strong: "It's important, hurry up and call the door." ”
The girl of the Lu family rolled her eyes, but because Lord Ding was there, and it seemed that it was an official business, she had to bother. But there was no movement inside, and Lu Wenyin never responded.
Shang Jiu also had a bad premonition: "I can only hit the door and break in." ”
Forcibly broke in, the room was pitch black, Ji Qianxia followed, and shrugged his nose: "Hurry up and hold the lamp." ”
Soon the lights came on and the room was bright.
There were two cups of tea on the table, and they were not taken away. Lu Wenyin was lying on the bed, her face was bruised, and blood was spilling from the corners of her mouth.
Ji Qianxia was shocked: "She was poisoned!" Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor. ”
Shang Jiu stepped forward to check: "It's poisoning, right?" ”
"Impossible." The Lu family was emotional: "It's impossible for our eldest lady to take poison." ”
Ding Zhixian calmed down and asked his subordinates: "Who has seen Miss Lu just now?" ”
"Yes, it's a grandmother of the Wu family."
"What are you going to do?"
"It was said that there was a novelty, and the Wu family specially gave it to Miss."
"Did you say what it was?"
"Nope. She didn't explain, and the slave didn't ask. The eldest lady didn't say much and let her in. ”
"Did you hear what they said?"
The girl next to Miss Lu lowered her head and thought about it, and hesitated: "After the slave maid served the tea, the eldest lady sent the slave and maid out, and said that it was okay not to come in." I only heard a sentence of revelation or something? ”
Ji Qianxia turned his head: "What is exposed?" ”
The girl shook her head in a panic.
"Take them all back." Ding Zhixian knew it in his heart.
The doctor soon came, and found out that it was poisoning, but fortunately he didn't delay too long, and tried to force the antidote. The rest is waiting for Lu Wenyin to wake up.
But the Wu family's side has gained a lot.
It turned out that Miss Wu and her henchmen were gone. How is this possible? Liangshan is only allowed to enter but not to exit. Where can they go this big night? So, I reported it and searched the mountains overnight.
Of course, the pass at the foot of the mountain was not seen by anyone who went out, not a single mosquito went out, let alone people.
There were torches all over the mountain, and every household also inquired, but they didn't see Miss Wu and others.
Ji Qianxia, who was guarding Lu Wenyin's side, said to himself: "Is there a secret way? Impossible, right? ”
What she thought of, others naturally thought of this possibility, and ordered to dig three feet into the ground, but she didn't see any secret passages or anything like that in the Wu family. But there are two dark rooms. But it's all empty.
Shang Jiu had a lot of energy, and he was a little annoyed that he didn't keep an eye on Xiangguofu, so he followed people to be busy outside.
He also searched the Wu Mansion while in the chaos, and stayed in a dark room for a while.
When it was almost dawn, Lu Wenyin was rescued from the ghost gate.
Ji Qianxia, who had not closed his eyes all night, was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent the doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor was also pleasantly surprised, and the patient woke up and said that the antidote worked. So I made persistent efforts to prescribe medicine and told me to take it later.
Lu Wenyin opened his eyes and didn't make much noise, just looked at the top of the account.
After someone helped her get up, fed her with medicine, and vomited a lot of residual poison, she glanced at Ji Qianxia, who was blue and black under her eyes: "I lost, I was very thorough, and I almost died!" ”
"Lose? Who are you betting against? ”
"You."
"Me? Why? Is it unilaterally angry? ”
"Take a gamble." Lu Wenyin said hatefully.
Ji Qianxia spread his hands: "I didn't understand." However, I hope that through this bloody lesson, you will be able to confess it. ”
