Chapter 22: Resentment
"Lao Wang, before I tell the truth, first of all, please answer me a question, as long as you answer my question, I know everything!" Lu Huiqing invited Steward Wang to sit next to the low table under the tree, raised his hand and poured him a glass of water, and then whispered.
Steward Wang sat up straight, looked at Lu Huiqing and nodded, no matter what, he had to give this person a chance to explain.
"The Wang family is about to be in a catastrophe, do you say that as a relative of the Wang family, you are willing to kill you, or do you plan to take a chance? The catastrophe I'm talking about isn't Long Jiu or Hua Tianshou, I'm referring to the outer room of the Horse Master, and the royal family knows this matter clearly! ”
The fat on Steward Wang's body trembled, and the sweat on his oily forehead suddenly oozed out, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's impossible for the royal family to know, right?" If he knew, His Majesty would have done it a long time ago. ”
Lu Huiqing drank saliva and said: "You are too careless, the peace over the years has made you forget the majesty of the royal family, and the princess is humble and kind, which is the biggest reason why your royal family has been able to continue until now."
In the early years, the princess of Wu Kingdom jumped into the ice water in the big winter to save the young Majesty, and the princess had a life-saving grace for Her Majesty, which is no secret in the market, so after Her Majesty ascended the throne, she rewarded the richest Wu Zhong to the princess and named Wu Guo! What kind of gift is this, don't your royal family know?
You once told me that the princess had eaten fast and recited Buddha five years ago and ignored the world, and then thought of the princess having slipped twice, and I knew very well what kind of mentality your royal family had towards the princess. To put it bluntly, the Wang family is bent on stealing the princess's property, so the princess is not allowed to get pregnant. That's why the princess slipped tires twice. ”
When Steward Wang heard this, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat, his eyes were fierce, and one hand had already reached into his arms.
Lu Huiqing held the teapot and added water, shook her hand with a smile and said, "Don't be busy killing people and killing people, listen to me first, don't even cut off the last trace of vitality of the Wang family." Even if you don't kill me, how long do you think I'll live? Who else knows about the matter of Long Jiu except you? ”
"I stumbled upon the account books that we had a shipment that went to the border. So I'll scam you! ”
Steward Wang stiffened his face and smiled, but his smile was more ugly than crying, and he picked up the teapot and drank all the full pot of tea, which was a little normal.
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "I just said that Zeng Gongliang is a fool. I didn't expect that I made the same mistake, don't talk about this, continue to talk about the Wang family, you underestimate the wisdom of His Majesty Xià too much, he is in the palace but the eyeliner is all over the world, if I don't expect it badly, the Wang family has the eyeliner arranged by His Majesty Xià to live by your side, you don't even know it.
The princess has been in poor health since the beginning of spring this year, once she died. Your royal family will also be in great trouble. ”
Steward Wang spit out a sentence with difficulty: "These are all your guesses." ”
Lu Huiqing smiled, patted Steward Wang's trembling hands and said, "In the past five years, any one of your Wang family's official positions has been promoted. In the past five years, has any of your Wang family's nephews ever obtained an official position? Even if he bought a large amount of military merit from Yun Zheng, did His Majesty ever allow the nephew of the Wang family to become an official? Didn't you? The sons and nephews of the noble families who bought meritorious services with you at the beginning seem to be officials now, right? Even if you don't become an official, at least you get a royal reward, right? What happened to your royal family? ”
Lu Huiqing stood up and patted the swinging housekeeper Wang and said, "Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, the princess lives." You are the king, the princess. Your Wang family is ruined, I actually can't figure it out, how did Wang Yi, the father of the horse, become the envoy of the Xijing Treasury, and I can't understand such a clear meaning, how he became a third-grade official.
The most stupid thing is to help her son go to kill her only life-saving straw Princess Wu Guo, even if she wants to commit suicide, she can't choose this method, it's much better to choose a hook kiss. ”
Steward Wang's face turned green, and he looked at Lu Huiqing with blank eyes and said, "Mr. said that where is the last glimmer of life for the Wang family?" Could it be Long Jiu? Do you plan to build a line for the Wang family to escape? ”
Lu Huiqing got up and stood under the tree, climbed a branch and said: "I was going to use this excuse to prevaricate you, but then I found out that you wanted to kill me, so I changed my mind, I have been hurt by others before, so I have become the current appearance of people who are not ghosts and ghosts, from that moment on, I swore that I would never let others hurt me, so I invited you to drink a pot of hook tea." ”
"What is a hook kiss?" After Steward Wang asked this, he immediately felt a pain in his abdomen like a knife, fell off the stool, and kept rolling on the ground, stirring up a large area of loess and making the sky dusty.
Lu Huiqing covered her mouth and nose and said to herself: What is a hook kiss? Wang Chongyun: Ye, the name of the place, is in the southeast. It makes sense. It is widely known as Hu vine grass, also known as broken intestine grass. Into the abdomen of humans and animals, that is, on the sticky intestines, it is black and rotten for half a day, also known as rotten intestine grass. The Dian people call it the torch flower, because of its red and hot like fire. Yuezhou is called the yellow vine.
I have to eat a little bit every day to get rid of the worms in my stomach, of course, when I give it to you, I am worried that the amount of medicine is not enough, so I deliberately grabbed an extra handful, and it should be enough to poison you. ”
Steward Wang's eyes were prominent, and his two hands spasmed and scratched out shocking blood marks on his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't say a word.
Lu Huiqing felt bored, so he went out of the courtyard gate, and saw Brother Chun from a distance being delivering cakes and wine door to door, smiled and closed the door, this is a very remote village, there are only three or four families, the young and strong people in the family have gone to the plains to be wheat customers, only the old people and children are left in the village, Lu Huiqing will give food and wine to the old people and children here as long as he comes once, seeing that the old people seem to be reluctant to eat and drink, they are very dissatisfied, thinking that everyone is not refreshing enough, so, As long as the people here get the food sent by Lu Huiqing, they will immediately eat it happily, which is especially popular with children.
Steward Wang's body is very good, and his ability to resist poison is also very strong, Lu Huiqing waited for a while, he was still churning in the loess, Lu Huiqing said a little too much, and found that he was very thirsty, so he picked up the teapot that was touched by Steward Wang, poured out the tea inside, washed it with clean water under the eaves, made himself a pot of tea again, and sat under the eaves to watch Steward Wang toss.
Brother Chun pushed open the door and walked in, and when he saw the churning housekeeper Wang raising dust, he frowned and picked up a hoe in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and hoeed a few times on the head of the housekeeper Wang.
"They all ate the food you sent?"
"Yes, they all eat, today the people in the village gathered, all waiting for the husband to give them wine and food, eleven people are a lot, today there is a lot of wine and food, everyone has eaten a lot, you see, there is no food left in the basket."
Lu Huiqing touched Brother Chun'er's round head with her hand and looked at him dotingly and smiled: "The most indifferent thing in this world is people, and the most are people, and it is not a bad thing to die, I liked you when I first saw you, because you are exactly the same as when I was a child, especially when you fed the spikes frozen in the ice lumps to the drunkard who bullied you, it was like the method of killing a dog when I was studying in Tokyo, I don't believe you have ever heard such a thing, so ah, this is all talent." ”
Brother Chun'er raised his face full of smiles, and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't do well today, there was more arsenic sprinkled on the cake, and the cake was a little bitter, so I had to sprinkle some more frosting on it to cover it, just like that, there was an old man who hunted and asked." ”
Lu Huiqing smiled and tapped his knuckles on Brother Chun'er's head and said with a smile: "Since something went wrong, then punish it, when you do these things in the future, try to think as carefully as possible, don't be self-righteous, you look at my miserable situation now, this is the lesson, it was too rash to do things at the beginning, don't follow my old path." ”
Brother Chun put his head on Lu Huiqing's knee and asked, "Sir, who caused you to be like this?" ”
Lu Huiqing looked up at the blue sky and said leisurely: "I suspect a person, or even definitely this person, but I can't find any evidence, we came to Guanzhong from Wuzhong, I am constantly thinking and thinking about every detail along the way, but no matter how I think about it, I can't find a flaw, the people I see are all women in the back house, they are all very beautiful women, and there is even a beautiful girl, a strong man who looks like no characteristic, and then a boat."
Those women have no way to see, the strong man basically did not leave any impression in my heart, I only started from the ship, and asked the owner of the boat to help me verify the origin of those women, I always feel that those women were born in the Qinglou, but the ship does not belong to any Qinglou, let alone any salt merchants, that night, I was like a dream, a very beautiful dream, but when I woke up, I was so ashamed, I woke up, things are wrong, people and ghosts are different. ”
"Sir can't find it, I'll definitely help you find it." Brother Chun clenched his fists and said hatefully.
Lu Huiqing laughed loudly, very satisfied, patted Brother Chun'er's head and said: "It's not early, we should leave, pour oil on this room and burn it, after eating, you have to wipe your mouth." ”
Brother Chun first led out the ox cart in the horse shed, helped Lu Huiqing to get into the ox cart, returned to the small yard by himself, and used a stick to pry the fat butler Wang into the house, and then poured a lot of lamp oil in the house, knocked down the oil lamp, and watched the flames rush to the roof, so he carefully tied the door and stood outside to watch the fire.
It didn't take much effort, smoke came out of the window in the house, Brother Chun found a long stick and poked open the window, and a large flame erupted from the house, and he also saw that Steward Wang was standing in the fire and shouted with his mouth, which startled him, until the beam fell down and knocked down Steward Wang, who had been burned and blistered, Brother Chun left the yard and drove the ox cart to Jingzhaocheng with his husband......
