If Du Shaonan is destined to be cannon fodder in the book, it has nothing to do with Liu Yiyi, but now that he has entered the plot in advance, it is still to help her restore her reputation, if she is cannon fodder in advance, there is something called conscience that will make her uneasy.

"Master, today I met Young Master Du by coincidence......," Liu Yiyi roughly introduced, "My father said that Lu Tingqi is not a good person, you are well-informed, can you know the origin of this person?" ”

"People outside the poor nun side have never been involved in public affairs, but I have heard some when I go out, and the head-catching person surnamed Lu has a good reputation, has handled many cases, and saved many sufferers." Mrs. Shuiyue said good things about Lu Tingqi.

"Doesn't a person do good deeds when he does bad things? There are not a few people who have one set in front of them and one behind them. It is written in the novel that Lu Tingqi is this kind of person, and Liu Yiyi has no intention of slandering people behind his back.

It was strange for Master Shuiyue to see her righteousness, this kid heard Master Liu say that he rarely went out, how did he make a feud with Lu Tingqi? "Do you have proof?"

"No," she said that she wanted to seize the evidence of Lu Tingqi's murder, "but if you spread bad words about me and Lord Yue, my father guessed that Lu Tingqi did it......" She relayed Master Liu's suspicions.

"It's just a guess, do you want to use this as evidence to let the yamen handle Lu Tingqi?" When Mrs. Shuiyue heard that it was Master Liu who said it, she still didn't take it seriously on her face, but she remembered the name Lu Tingqi in her heart.

Liu Yiyi gritted her teeth: "Actually...... I also think that Lu Tingqi has bad intentions towards me, so Young Master Du, who went to my house to propose marriage, will be regarded as a thorn in his side and will be in danger. ”

"So you're worried about Young Master Du's safety. Does this mean that you are willing to marry him? Master Suiyue laughed when he heard this.

"If I say that I am willing to marry him, can Master guarantee Young Master Du's safety?" Liu Yiyi can't care about being shy, Master Shuiyue is too capable of being the master's master. Naturally, his strength is not weak, but I am afraid that Lu Tingqi is not an opponent.

Master Shui Yue rejected her: "Outsiders ignore the Hongchen matter, and besides, Young Master Du is a relative of the emperor, so you don't need to worry too much about him." ”

If it was the real Liu Yiyi, what would happen if she heard her master's refusal? Coquetry? Lose one's temper? Whispering? She couldn't even do it.

"Then if Master doesn't object, Yiyi will go back and tell Daddy." All Liu Yiyi could do was get up and say goodbye.

"Tell your dad about your suspicions, he's a man who understands." Master Shuiyue doesn't care about these mundane things. Because Master Liu will not sit idly by and watch his future son-in-law have an accident.

Liu Yiyi nodded to indicate that she heard it, but she didn't plan to tell Master Liu, at first, Master Liu was scared when he heard that the murderer of the Mengzhou Strange Case had found the Liu family. Later, because of the gossip about her outside, she lost dozens of pounds of meat, so it was easy to be a little happier in the past two days, and then told him that Du Shaonan was in danger, could he stand it?

Liu Yiyi sat in a sedan chair and returned to the willow house. Before I got home, the sedan chair stopped. didn't wait for her to ask Lotus to speak first: "Miss, the firecracker crumbs in front of the gate of our house, I don't know what happened, Miss, are you walking through the side door next to the gate, or are you going around the small door in the backyard?" ”

"Go around the backyard door." Liu Yiyi immediately made a decision, and it is estimated that there will be a happy event when setting off firecrackers, but now it is an eventful spring, and it is not too late for her to wait until she understands what is going on.

Entered the house through the small door. The sedan chair was carried all the way to the front of the embroidery building, and Liu Yiyi didn't even see a passing servant after getting off the sedan chair. Lotus then said: "Miss, it is better to let the maid go to the front to ask what happened, and let the osmanthus wait for you to go back to the embroidery building." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Liu Yiyi said politely.

"No trouble." Lotus hurriedly replied, she was also as curious as Master Shuiyue, what environment did this young lady live in before?

The osmanthus waiting for Liu Yiyi is also very relaxed, this young lady is used to finding clothes by herself and changing clothes by herself, she just needs to stand outside the screen and wait.

When Liu Yiyi came out with a change of homely clothes, the lotus also came back, and reported to Liu Yiyi with joy: "Miss Hui, after Miss went out this morning, the prefect of Mengzhou City took the local famous gentry to beat gongs and drums to Liu Mansion to send a plaque, saying that Miss Xie assisted the government in arresting gangsters related to the strange case in Mengzhou. ”

If the plaque is for Liu Yiyi, then Liu Yiyi has to come out to receive the plaque in person, and the unmarried woman is still embarrassed in front of everyone, so she simply gives the plaque to Master Liu, anyway, no matter who it is given to, it is to correct the reputation of the Liu family.

The prefect of Mengzhou City thought very thoughtfully, the bad words about the Liu family were only spread in the streets and alleys, and if he wanted to deny it publicly, it would be tantamount to expanding the gossip, and it would be better to indirectly prove that Liu Yiyi came out to arrest the gangsters that night, if someone remade her rumors because of this, maybe it was an uncaptured accomplice of the murderer.

Sure enough, he is an official, and he is tactful.

Liu Yiyi went down to the embroidery building to see Master Liu, and Master Liu was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and asked Liu Yiyi to look at the golden plaque, nine out of ten sentences were in Kuadu Shaonan.

Yes, if it weren't for Du Shaonan, how could the Mengzhou prefect have the kindness to correct the name of the Liu family, it would be good if he didn't fall into the well and thought about the Liu family's property and wanted to get a piece of the pie!

Because the son of Du Guogong, a relative of the emperor, wants to marry the Liu family, the magistrate came to the door, Liu Yiyi finally experienced what it was like to find a powerful man, if it was her last life, she wouldn't even dare to think about this kind of thing, could it be that the original heroine's golden finger luck did not completely disappear, so that she finally got a little light?

……

Du Shaonan went out of Lingzhu Nunnery, and went back to his newly opened restaurant with Du Quanzhong and Du Quanxiao, who were waiting outside, compared to Xiao Tang and them, he was the least worried about Lin Yuxiao, and the reason was the same as Liu Yiyi - Lin Yuxiao was more like the king of this time and space than Yue Linfeng and Li Mu.

"Young Master!" Du Shaonan, who had just flipped through two pages of account books in the restaurant, and the abacus had not been started, was found by Du Liren, who stayed at Du's house to watch the yard for him.

Loyal and filial, Liren and righteous is Du Shaonan's confidant who has been personally cultivated since he was a child, loyal and has seen the world, and he is bold and careful in case of trouble.

"Young master, there is something going on at home temporarily, the old lady asks you to go back and be the master." In front of many people, Liren said it very easily.

"Troublesome ......" Du Shaonan lazily instructed the shopkeeper to look at the restaurant. Then he took the family to the Du Guogong Mansion, and only their master and servant were left on the road for a while, so he asked Liren. "What do you have to tell me?"

Indeed, Liren is in charge of the young master's courtyard, if Mrs. Li is bored and wants to toss her grandson, Liren will not come out to be an accomplice, he can only come, there is really something big in the house.

"This morning the porter received a gift box for the old lady, and the giver did not show up. The box was placed on the ground, and the porter was handed over to the lady steward in the old lady's yard, who opened it and took a look. Inside is actually a piece of plum red satin from the Beijing Yipin Silk Village, the old lady had been looking for this color before, and wanted to make a shoulder, but the branch in Mengzhou City was out of stock. So the lady in charge thought that someone wanted to please the old lady. Xing Chong Chong took it into the upper room......"

“…… The old lady smiled when she saw it at first, and asked the housekeeper and the maid to unfold it to take a look, but a piece of paper floated out of the satin, a very ordinary paper, which can be bought in Mengzhou City, but the paper said Let Du Guogong's Mansion prepare a silver ticket of 10 million taels, and three days later, he will come to take it at the end of the day, and if he denies it, he will take the life of the heir of the mansion. There is a strange word below. ”

Liren told the story in detail: "The old lady asked the little one to call the young master back, and asked the housekeeper to find the prefect." ”

The city of Mengzhou has always been peaceful. It was not until last year that a major case suddenly appeared, and if a wealthy local rich family was reluctant to pay for his life after receiving a letter asking for money for his life, he would definitely die when the deadline set in the letter came.

This big case is called the Mengzhou Strange Case, and ordinary people think that the murderer killed someone in an invisible event is too bizarre, so it is called a strange case, but the victims, the government and some powerful people know that the reason why it is called a strange case, the bizarre and difficult to solve is one of them, and the murderer sends a letter every time he sends a strange word is also the main reason.

The Du family is an absolute upper-class figure in Mengzhou City, and the news that the common people don't know is familiar to the descendants of their family, Du Quanzhong and Du Quanxiao heard a strange word when they heard the letter sent to the Guogong Mansion this time, and vaguely felt that this letter was only afraid to be true, but the murderer really had such a bold attack on the emperor's relatives?

Du Shaonan's face was not good-looking, he understood that this letter was true as soon as he heard it, in fact, when he decided to propose to the Liu family, he guessed that he would be targeted by that person, but that person's behavior at the moment was not only to assassinate him, but also to make such a big fuss, regardless of Qincha is still in Mengzhou?

Lin Yuxiao's whereabouts are unknown...... Du Shaonan couldn't help but tremble when he thought of this, wouldn't it? No! Definitely not! Who is Lin Yuxiao, and who can be his opponent here?

Walking to the door of the house, Du Shaonan saw two inconspicuous green cloth sedan chairs parked at the side door, the sedan chair was very ordinary, but he recognized the sedan chair man standing on the side - Mengzhou Li Zhifu's house.

It seems that Governor Li was afraid that the news would leak and cause a bad reaction, so he didn't come to the door with great fanfare, and as a parent official, it makes sense for him to think so, but it's a pity that Mrs. Li will definitely not understand his good intentions.

When Du Shaonan came back, he walked directly to the main courtyard where Mrs. Li lived, and sure enough, when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard his grandmother's angry reprimand.

Full of energy, the old lady really cherishes herself and takes good care of herself, Du Shaonan hooked the corner of her mouth, and let Yahuan come back.

Old Madam Li is indeed angry, she is the daughter of the county lord, the wife of the prince, the grandmother of the queen, a person with a commandment, what a noble status, there are actually villains who dare to threaten her, and the little Mengzhou prefect dares not to pay attention to it, and only brings a master to the door, he is not enough to transfer all the servants of the government to the old lady Li!

"Heart-to-heart baby good grandson! You're back safely! As soon as she saw Du Shaonan, the angry Mrs. Li immediately changed her expression of worry and pity.

Du Shaonan has always had a cynical attitude: "Ancestors don't have to be afraid, didn't the Mengzhou strange case have already been solved?" This letter is probably a prank by someone, so don't pay attention to it. ”

Du Shaonan didn't care, but Governor Li looked at Master Wang with some hesitation, and seeing that his master still nodded silently, he had to speak: "Young Master Du, please don't underestimate this matter, this letter ...... Eighty percent true. ”

"What really!? Isn't the case already solved!? Old Madam Li asked in surprise before Du Shaonan, before she saw Governor Li's light car come to the Guogong Mansion, she just lost her temper because she was neglected, and she didn't care about asking whether it was true or not.

"The masked man who was stabbed by Lu Tingqi in the Liu family before has not been identified so far, and Lord Lin suspects that this person has no ability to kill invisibly because of his poor martial arts, and may not be the real murderer, so the case is not closed." At first, Lin Yuxiao was not allowed to close the case, and Governor Li still had a whisper in his heart, but now it seems that people are still cautious, otherwise he will report and close the case and this incident will happen again, and he will have to bear the charge of bullying the monarch.

"What about Yu Xiao, if there is something in the Du family, you dare to hide even Qincha!?" As soon as she heard Lin Yuxiao's name, Mrs. Li was busy asking for someone from Governor Li's mansion, as long as Lin Yuxiao was in charge of the Du family, she would not be afraid of anything.

"Yu Xiao has been missing for two days, and early this morning, Xiao Tang pulled me and Xiaozhu to find Yue Linfeng to ask, the funny thing is that Yue Linfeng didn't even know that his junior brother had returned to the city, let alone anything else." The person who answered was Du Shaonan.

Old Madam Li was even more startled: "Why haven't you been gone for two days!?" Don't any of you know where Yu Xiao went? That kid has been sensible since he was a child, and he never worries! How did you become a prefect! Don't send anyone to find it yet! The next sentence of her is naturally to reprimand Li Governor.

Governor Li is only more frightened than Mrs. Li, and he is responsible for the general Qincha to have an accident on his land, not to mention that Lin Yuxiao is still the only nephew of the Queen Mother, and he has been raised in the palace since he was a child to play with the current emperor, there is really a case that he is afraid that the family will even hang the nine clans!

At that moment, Governor Li couldn't afford to lose his manners, wiped his sweat and asked: "Young Master Du, you have to have a certificate for such a big matter, the safety of Lord Qincha is not a joke!" ”

"When did Young Master Ben ever joke with you? Besides, did I say that Yu Xiao was in distress? I'm talking about Xiao Tang can't find him in a hurry. Du Shaonan dissatisfiedly picked up the tea on the table to moisten his throat, and now it is clear that his life is threatened, okay?

"Who is not in a hurry when the person is gone, can't you find Linfeng? Governor Li's Mansion, you should send a part of the government to find Lord Lin, another part to protect the Du Guo Mansion, and then ask people to invite Lord Yue over, I believe you should also understand that whether our Du family or Lord Lin has something to do, the emperor and queen mother will not spare you. Knowing that Lin Yuxiao was gone, Mrs. Li was in no mood to train people, so she ordered directly.

"Yes, the lower official understands, and the lower official will immediately transfer someone." After personally confirming that the letter of extortion was genuine, the Li prefect originally planned to protect the Du family and asked the Qin to come to the town (share the responsibility).

"You can transfer anyone, just don't look for that Lu Tingqi." Du Shaonan added.

"Why? Lu Tingqi is a famous catch in Jiangnan. "Qin Cha is not in Governor Li's mansion, but he is counting on Lu Tingqi.

"Does it work? In which case was he not present before? It's not that he didn't even find the shadow of the murderer, and he always commanded others to put up a fight, so the young master doesn't want idlers here! Du Shaonan said that Li Zhifu was speechless. (To be continued.) )
