Chapter 144: Disposition
Dongmei quickly led Li Ping'an over.
Second Master Lu personally asked Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an replied truthfully: "...... Wang Shun and Ergouzi have already truthfully confessed, and this time the incident was hired by a person named Uncle Qian for money. Thanks to the third lady, Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she met a chivalrous person, otherwise...... The consequences are unimaginable. β
"Shameless ......" Second Master Lu's face was very ugly, he paced back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then asked Li Ping'an: "What kind of Wang Shun is that, or Li Gou's ......?"
"Back to the master, it's Wang Shun and the second dog." Li Ping'an reminded in a low voice.
"Whatever dogs and pigs he is, bring them in for me." Second Master Lu's anger burned even more, and his voice unconsciously raised a few degrees.
Wu Shi covered the handkerchief and was already crying uncontrollably, choked up and got up to hold Lu Er's arm and said, "Master, if this matter is really found out to be done by the Qian brothers, then you have to make the decision for our Yi'er." Wu was full of tears, angry and sad, his shoulders shook slightly, and under the light, a face that was already a little worse looked more and more sallow, "You also know that our Yi'er will be in time next year, if something really happens to her, I ...... I don't want to live anymore. β
As he spoke, he began to whimper and cry again.
The most unsightly thing for the second master of Lu is that a woman is crying, and when Wu cries like this, he is even more upset, and he says for a while: "What kind of body is crying and crying?" Yi'er is my flesh and blood, and I, as a father, will naturally cherish her. After a pause, he said in a heavy tone: "If it is found out that it is really Qian Jianchang's doing, I will not forgive him." β
After speaking, Second Master Lu waved his sleeves, looked at Lu Shuyi, who was standing on the side and weeping, and comforted her gently: "Third girl, my father said here today, if you are really humiliated, no matter who it is, even if it is the king of heaven, I will definitely seek justice for you, don't worry......"
This is the first time Lu Shuyi has heard her father say such powerful words, and she is a little excited in her heart, feeling that it is good to live a new life.
"Okay, as long as the father has this sentence, the daughter will be relieved." Lu Shuyi looked at the second master Lu with tears in her eyes, her voice was sad and sad, and she looked really pitiful.
Second Master Lu looked at this look, and hated Qian Jianchang's bastard even more in his heart.
At this time, Li Ping'an walked in with Wang Shun and Ergouzi's collars, and curtsied his knees: "Master Hui, these two are the two thieves who participated in the kidnapping incident this time, if you want to know, just ask them." β
Wang Shun and Ergouzi knelt on the ground, trembling, and didn't even dare to raise their heads.
The Lu family is a big family in Changle Town, and the Lu family's iron mine supports tens of thousands of people in Changle Town, and they dare to kidnap the third lady of the Lu family, it is simply looking for death......
However, they had also heard that Second Master Lu was a soft man, and he held the Sven shelf of a scholar on weekdays, so they secretly thought in their hearts, perhaps, Second Master Lu would not embarrass them.
Who knew that the second master Lu didn't say a word, and when he came up, he hit the two of them fiercely: "...... Seven-foot men are all good hands and feet, why don't you do something serious to support your family? β
"Robbing ...... House"
"Slap" slapped Wang Shun in the face.
"Highway robbery ......"
"Slap" slapped the second dog in the face again.
"Insulting Women and Children......"
"Bang" Second Master Lu opened his bow left and right, and hit Wang Shun in the face again.
"Ashamed of ...... parents"
The three hits of "Papapa" were extremely loud, and Lu Shuyi, who listened to it, couldn't help but tremble.
In his previous life, his father had never beaten anyone, and he was really a little afraid of people in this position.
Mo Ju and Dong Mei's eyes widened, almost in disbelief at the point in front of them.
In the eyes of outsiders, Second Master Lu is a Sven man with Zhilan Langyue, he always speaks softly, and he always has a smile like the warm sun of March on his cheeks.
But now the second master Lu who was standing in front of them had a face like cold iron, and his body was covered with a layer of frost.
Wu was also taken aback, although Wang Shun and Ergouzi should indeed be beaten, but their hands would hurt when they beat people.
She felt sorry for the second master Lu, and came over to persuade for a while: "The master is angry, now is not the time to beat them, ask the matter clearly first, and then we will send it to the official or hand it over to the old lady to deal with." β
Li Ping'an was also dumbfounded for a moment, he had been on duty in the Lu family for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen Second Master Lu do it.
But......
It's really enjoyable.
For the first time, Li Ping'an felt that Master Lu Er was actually a man, not a man who only focused on studying regardless of his wife and daughter.
Wang Shun and the second dog were stunned by the second master of Lu, and they forgot to dodge for a while, only to be slapped by the second master of Lu.
At this moment, there were several dark red blood marks on the faces of these two people, which showed that the second master Lu was very heavy.
"Bastard...... It's all bastards. Second Master Lu was still angry, his eyes were fixed on the faces of Wang Shun and Ergouzi, and he asked with his hands behind his back: "Do you have an old lady to support at home?" β
Wang Shun and Ergouzi listened to Lu Er's question about their mother, and they were stunned for a while......
They didn't know that Master Lu Er had been influenced by the Tao of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, and in addition to the four words of courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the most important thing was the word "filial piety".
In the eyes of Second Master Lu, these thieves who robbed homes and houses didn't understand what filial piety was.
"The second master asked you something." Li Ping'an kicked Wang Shun lightly.
Wang Shun secretly complained in his heart, quietly squinted his eyes and glanced at the two dogs beside him, and then said tremblingly: "Yes...... My wife is seriously ill and is still lying on the kang waiting for me to go back and ask her to see a doctor. I also have a younger sister and younger brother, one is eight years old and the other is five years old, and they all need me to support them. β
"I ...... I also have an old mother to raise......" Ergouzi had a toothache expression and begged: "It is precisely because I want my old mother to live a good life that I will ......"
"There is still an old mother at home, and you still dare to do these illegal and unseemly things...... If your mother knows, how can she live in peace? Lu Er's angry voice almost trembled, and he kicked Ergouzi and Wang Shun hard, and then asked, "What's going on with my daughter?" β
Wang Shun and Ergouzi were beaten miserably by the second master of Lu, you look at me, I look at you, stared at it for a while, and finally it was the second dog who explained the situation to the second master of Lu.
ββ¦β¦ This matter was really instructed by Uncle Qian, and he gave our boss one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and we each shared ten taels. Ergouzi sighed and said, "You also know that for some families, two taels of silver are enough for a family to eat for two months...... My old mother is sixty-eight years old, and she can barely see people in one eye. My daughter-in-law went to the mountains to collect firewood the year before last, and fell because she had no money to see the disease, and one leg was wasted, and I also have two sons and a daughter, the youngest son was just born last year...... Ten taels of silver, which can be used in our house for at least five months. β
What Ergouzi said is not wrong, in the land of the Great Zhou, the rich are very rich, wearing gold and silver every day. But the poor still have no food, and they eat the last meal but not the next, and there is no tomorrow after today......
The so-called penny to kill a hero, that's about it.
Lu Shuyi sighed lightly, and suddenly felt that the two dogs were actually quite pitiful.
It's just a dignified seven-foot man, and he has no disabilities, why don't he want to support his family in an upright manner?
What others can do, why can't Wang Shun and Ergouzi do it?
Thinking about it this way, I feel that they are also to blame for the current situation.
Second Master Lu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to have a trace of sympathy for the situation of the second dog, but sympathy is sympathy, and wrong things are wrong things, he can still distinguish clearly, "A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way, you kidnap young girls for money like this, and you won't use it if you take the silver." β
The expressions on Wang Shun and Ergouzi's faces fell for a moment, and they didn't dare to look at Second Master Lu and Lu Shuyi in frustration.
Indeed, since they embarked on this road, they have hardly slept a peaceful night, worrying day and night, and always feeling that they have done something wrong.
Second Master Lu glanced at the second dog again, and said: "Today, you have violated the law of the country, and the law is not merciful, I will definitely take you to see the official ......"
After hearing this, Wang Shun and Ergouzi immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Second master, my mother is really seriously ill, she is really waiting for me to go home and ask her to see a doctor......
"I also have an old mother to support, and a child to support, if you really take us to the official, our brothers...... Our brother really has only one way to die. β
The two of them begged, for fear that they would really be sent to see the official by the second master Lu.
"If you knew this was the case, why did you ...... it in the first place" Second Master Lu shook his head, "The law cannot be abolished......"
"Father, the law also has a favor!" Lu Shuyi listened to it for a long time and didn't speak, and now she said to Second Master Lu: "My daughter thinks they are all quite pitiful, if they are willing to identify who Uncle Qian is, you can let them go once!" After all...... They all have old mothers to support, and sisters, younger brothers, wives, and children to support...... The prodigal son does not change his money for ......"
Wang Shun and Ergouzi were overjoyed when they saw Lu Shuyi speaking for them, and they both kowtowed to Lu Shuyi.
"Exactly, if Second Master Lu is willing to let our brother go once, our brother will definitely be a human again, and he will never do anything harmful to nature and reason from now on."
"Yes, yes, I will also help you identify who Uncle Qian is......"
Wang Shun and Ergouzi both expressed their attitudes.
Second Master Lu's eyes moved slightly, stroking his forehead and thinking.
"Or ...... Or just let them go, after all...... After all, they are not the initiators. Wu sighed, she was originally a soft-faced and soft-hearted person, and the life of Wang Shun and Ergouzi also made her sympathetic.
"Thank you, Mrs., thank you, ......"
Wang Shun and Ergouzi kowtowed to Wu a few more times.
Wu sighed and waved his hand: "That's it, I just look at you old and young, indeed...... It's pitiful indeed. After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said: "But you two must identify Uncle Qian, if there is a difference in it, I will be the first to spare you." β
Wang Shun and Ergouzi's eyes immediately lit up and promised: "Don't worry, we will definitely identify Uncle Qian who paid us to hire us." β
"Look, sir?" Wu cautiously asked Second Master Lu's opinion.
Second Master Lu's face was still gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Let them identify who Uncle Qian is first." β
"What about this green plum?" Li Ping'an took out the green plum that Qian Jianchang gave to Lu Shuyi and handed it to Lu Er.
Second Master Lu took the green plum in Li Ping'an's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and was just about to sniff it with his nose, Lu Shuyi immediately said nervously: "Father, don't sniff, there is a spice on the stamen that can make people's limbs weak and drowsy." β
Li Ping'an also said: "Yes, you must be touched." β
Wu came over and looked at the green plum by the light, the green plum blossom was very delicate and outstanding, even if you looked closely, you couldn't see the problem.
However, she still said cautiously: "Don't touch it yet, Mo Ju has gone to ask for a doctor, and she should be able to come back soon." β
After a while, Mo Ju invited Dr. Zhou to come.
The last time Huang Teng was tested by him, he is an old man, and he will not go out to publicize it when he encounters problems, and he is a person who can keep secrets.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Lu trusts him very much, as long as he can check the spices in the green plum blossoms, when it comes to confrontation, Mrs. Lu will also believe him.
After seeing the ceremony, Second Master Lu did not shy away from it, and said straight to the point: "Doctor Zhou, can you help me see if this green plum is weird?" β
Dr. Zhou was dressed in a brown robe, with a peaceful smile on his face, he took the plum blossom in the hand of the second master Lu, took a few careful glances, picked a few plum petals and put them in front of his nose to sniff, and then looked at them carefully.
"How's it going?" Second Master Lu leaned over half of his body, looked at the plum blossom petals in Dr. Zhou's hand fixedly, and his expression was very strict.
Wu and Lu Shuyi also looked like water, and their eyes were on Dr. Zhou.
"These petals are very ordinary, and they are not strange...... Dr. Zhou replied very dryly.
"What about the stamens?" Lu Shuyi blinked and looked at Dr. Zhou.
Dr. Zhou hesitated slightly, then reached out to pluck a plum blossom and peeled off the stamen in the middle.
Raise the palm of the palm on the nose and sniff it gently, then flick it back and forth in the palm of the palm to look at it carefully, and finally ask for a bowl of water and sprinkle the stamen into the bowl.
The clear water was immediately a little yellow, as if the sky was full of stars falling into the Milky Way.
Doctor Zhou cautiously leaned over his nose and sniffed lightly, and after a while, he was surprised: "This ...... Isn't this the long-lost drunken spring breeze? β
Drunk spring breeze?
Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers, she seemed to have seen this name somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Second Master Lu hurriedly asked, "What is this drunken spring breeze for?" Why is it said to have been lost for a long time? β
Dr. Zhou talked about the origin of the drunken spring breeze: "...... This spice was originally prepared by Qiu Chunfeng, a very famous spice master in the Western Regions, which uses pig Polo, Western Regions golden flower, purple mandala, thornless mandala and so on to make people fascinatedPhantom herbs, and added magu powder, pollen and other things...... Use these things to make spices. The taste of this spice is like a hundred flowers, light and long-lasting, and it smells like being drunk in the spring breeze, so this fragrance is called the drunken spring breeze. Although the drunken spring breeze tastes good, after a while, people who have smelled this fragrance will have weak limbs, and some will even fall into a coma, and they will not wake up......"
"This incense is so powerful?" Second Master Lu's eyes widened in shock.
Doctor Zhou also sighed: "Yes, so this spice was forbidden to be bought and sold, and the spice master died soon after making this incense, this drunken spring breeze was once extinct in the world, I never thought that I opened my eyes once and saw this spice." β
Lu Shuyi was very surprised when she heard Dr. Zhou's words, how could something that had long been extinct in the Western Regions come into Qian Jianchang's hands?
Could it be that the Qian family still has business in the west?
In her previous life, she had never heard anyone talk about it......
"I don't know where Second Master Lu found this thing?" Dr. Zhou was very curious, how could something that had been lost for a long time be used on the stamens?
Second Master Lu naturally couldn't tell the truth, although he wanted to let Qian Jianchang's shameless rat discredit from now on, and he would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the world. But considering that this matter also involved his daughter, he still planned not to say it and cover up the matter.
"I was also asked by someone to help me take a look, and I don't know where that person came from." Second Master Lu lied for the first time, and his face was slightly unnatural.
At a glance, Doctor Zhou knew that Second Master Lu didn't want to say it, and he was not the kind of person who had to spy on people's privacy, so he immediately smiled and said, "I see, but I was reckless." β
Second Master Lu was very satisfied with Dr. Zhou's attitude of not asking, and he was also very grateful, and he hurriedly asked Wu to reward Dr. Zhou with a silver ingot of twenty taels.
Doctor Zhou naturally refused to ask for it.
Second Master Lu said to Doctor Zhou: "You better accept it, and you will have to go to my mother to testify later, and tell her about the drunken spring breeze that you have testified." β
Doctor Zhou is a smart person, as soon as he heard this, he knew that this matter must be related to the Lu family's ugliness, and he didn't ask in detail, only nodded and said, "Okay, I will only testify." β
Lu Shuyi still likes Dr. Zhou's accident style very much, so smart and not dragging his feet, and not snooping on people's privacy, he can entrust him with everything about medicinal materials in the future.
"Master, what should we do next?" Wu Shi grabbed the handkerchief in his hand and asked Lu Er in a low voice: "Now the old lady shouldn't have returned to the room, should we go to the water pavilion, or invite her old man to come over?" β
After all, today's Shangyuan Festival, it is really speechless for such a bad thing to make a big holiday.
Second Master Lu frowned and groaned, "Please come over." After a pause, he said, "I'll go and invite it myself." β
Wu nodded, and then said, "...... What about the sister-in-law? β
After all, Qian Jianchang is a guest of the big house, he made a mistake, and it stands to reason that he should inform the eldest wife.
But the eldest lady has always been proud of Qian Wenchang's son-in-law, if she knew what Qian Jianchang did, would she be unacceptable?
After many years of concubines, Wu still couldn't help but think about it for the eldest wife He.
Lu Shuyi was anxious when she listened to it, and immediately reminded: "Are you really confused?" Wang Shun and Ergouzi haven't identified Uncle Qian yet, how can you tell Aunt SΓΉ about this? β
She actually had some doubts in her heart, and always felt that this matter was inseparable from Qian Wenchang.
Qian Jianchang is the eldest grandson of the Qian family, and only he can take on the three words of Uncle Qian......
"That'...... Identify people first? Wu frowned.
"Yes, let's name someone first." Second Master Lu immediately made a decision, he said: "The person who watched the lanterns should be back soon, and when he comes back and identifies someone, it will not be too late to inform his sister-in-law when the time comes." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The brilliance is like water, Qian Jianchang is dressed in a royal blue straight jacket and stands quietly under the cornices, his face is very ugly, as if covered with a layer of black mist.
There was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old handsome guy standing next to him, and the little guy's voice was a little hoarse and panicked, and he said, "...... Miss Lu San has already returned home, but ...... But she seems to have brought two people back with her......"
Qian Jianchang trembled involuntarily, his eyes looked hollow, and he looked at the red gauze lantern under the corridor blankly and said, "She...... Did she come back well? Still dizzy? β
"I heard that it was fine, and I didn't faint." Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed several times, and he seemed to be surprised, and asked, "Didn't our uncle say that the spice of the drunken spring breeze is very easy to use?" But why is Miss Lu San fine when she smells it? β
This is also what Qian Jianchang is eager to know, it is obviously a very effective spice, why doesn't Lu Shuyi have a little thing?
Shouldn't she be tied up by the robbers at this moment and wait for him to save her life?
Isn't it supposed to be dizzy and confused, without a trace of strength in his body?
Why did she come back in good shape?
Why is that?
Qian Jianchang only felt that his brain was about to crack, what was Lu Shuyi's situation like? Has his affair been revealed? He couldn't guess, and there wasn't a single clue to be found......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same moment, there was another person who fell into fear and confusion, and that person was Qian Wenchang, who was rushing back to the Lu Mansion.
Qian Wenchang sent Xiao San'er to inquire about Liu San's news at that time, but the person who inquired about the news reported after he returned: "...... Liu San's wife was not in the agreed place at all, and there was no trace of the carriage being hijacked along the way. β
Qian Wenchang was very shocked, and immediately said, "Then have you inquired about the brother who is with Liu San?" Did anyone come back? β
Xiao San'er shook his head: "No one came back, Liu San's brothers, none of them were gone, as if they had disappeared." β
Disappear?
It's fine if it really disappears, but what if it doesn't?
Qian Wenchang didn't dare to think about it.
And another guy sent out by his side hurriedly reported on the way: "...... The second son said that Miss Lu San had gone back. β
Lu Shuyi went back, while Liu San and his people disappeared.
Qian Wenchang was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.
Lu Shujuan's face was also very ugly, and she said anxiously: "What can I do about this?" How can a big living person say that if you can't find it, you can't find it? And the other person who should have been tied up is so decent, weird, weird, really weird. β
"Don't make ......noise," Qian Wenchang interrupted anxiously.
"How can I not be noisy, I'm really worried now, if something really happens, how will I go back to my parents' house in the future?" Lu Shujuan also felt that the situation was very strict, she was not only worried, but also impatient. R1152
