Lu Mansheng was embarrassed to death, this kind of scene had never been encountered, and no one taught her what to do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wen Shu didn't expect a few of them to come in so coincidentally, this time it really wasn't intentional to make a noise, who knew that these people walked silently, and they didn't know when they were outside the door.
It's no wonder that people with light skills walk lightly, and these people's martial arts are all extremely high, even ordinary masters may not be able to hear their footsteps. And what about Lu Mansheng and Wen Shu, the two of them were talking and laughing, you and I were quite enthusiastic, how could they notice the arrival of these people?
Wen Shu also touched her nose embarrassedly, she has always been quite measured and graceful in front of several brothers, this time she was so rude, it was really a shame, a shame!
"Shu'er, what were you talking to Miss Lian Man just now?"
"Just kidding, ho! It's just a casual joke, and it can't be taken seriously. By the way, Sixth Brother, do you have something to talk about with the third brother and the fourth brother, do you need us to avoid it? ā
"No need, Sixth Sister, you and Miss Lian are not outsiders." The third brother spoke.
Although he overheard their jokes just now, the third brother didn't take it to heart. He doesn't look like a girl's family, his skin is thick enough, and he has made a lot of jokes when he walks the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't feel embarrassed.
What's more, the true temperament of the sixth sister is very clear to Mingyue Castle. She has a nickname, Little Witch, and the Gongsun brothers always like to call her that.
As for Miss Lianman, although her true identity cannot be known to others, it is not what they see on the surface. But he thought that the person who could make the sixth sister and Xie Xiaoji really make friends must be a good person.
"Miss Lianman, introduce yourself, Jin Yuelou, the third oldest in the family, you can call me the third brother like the sixth sister."
Jin Yuelou smiled and bowed his hand to Lu Mansheng.
Lu Mansheng hurriedly got up and saluted, "Okay, third brother." Lu Man responded generously, which made the previous embarrassment a lot resolved.
"I just came back from Lingnan, and I heard from a few sisters-in-law that the sixth sister had newly adopted a smart apprentice with a wise mind. Now that I see it, I really want to sigh that the luck of the sixth sister is as good as ever. ā
"It was my luck to meet Miss Three."
"Even the girl doesn't have to be modest, we all know the temperament of the sixth sister, and by her side, it is usually others who suffer."
"Third brother, don't bring this!" Coaxing the girl's family to be happy, there is no reason to hurt her.
Wen Shu protested, but everyone in the room laughed.
"Miss Lian, I heard that you were assassinated twice by a mysterious killer?" Fourth Brother Jin asked.
Lu Mansheng thought in his heart, before she could find the door, the fourth brother of the Jin family came to take the initiative to ask her, could it be that he had already investigated Bu Yufeng's body?
Or maybe he knew more than she knew.
"Yes, that person's name is Bu Yufeng, a person from the Blood Water Palace."
"I also heard that Miss Lian once saved his life?"
"That was a few months ago, when he was injured and collapsed outside my door, and Yan'er saw him and begged me to save him. I think he seems to be being hunted down, and he has a lot of murderous energy, so I don't want to care about this idle matter. However, I ......"
"Even the girl saw that he was clutching a woman's hairpin, and thought that this person was also a sentient person, so she rescued him and cured him of his old disease?" Doing the business of being a killer has accumulated a lot of injuries and damage over the years, and it will gradually become a chronic disease. Maybe you can resist with a tough body for a while, but you will eventually be defeated by the disease. Miss Lu not only saved his life, but also cured him of his chronic illness, which can be regarded as a reinvention of Entong.
"How did Lord Kim know about these things?" Lu Mansheng was very surprised, how did Master Jin guess such a fine detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes at the scene.
"More than three months ago, Bu Yufeng broke into a family surnamed Zhang in Lincheng and forced them to hand over the plum blossom hairpin, Zhang Yuanwai refused, he washed the Zhang family in blood, and finally got this plum blossom hairpin. Zhang Yuanwai knew that the killer was coming, and he deliberately paid a lot of money to invite the five killers with the highest asking price on the list of killers in the rivers and lakes, but his movements were a step slower, and before those killers arrived, Zhang Yuanwai's family was killed. ā
Lu Mansheng never knew that there was such a tragedy behind the plum blossom hairpin, and the girl's family looked at the problem, after all, the love of children was longer.
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, although Zhang Yuanwai's family is dead, those killers still have to carry out their own tasks, otherwise their reputation in the rivers and lakes will be ruined. These people chased and killed Bu Yufeng for two days and two nights, and finally caught up with him outside Linyang City. The battle was very fierce, Bu Yufeng killed three of them, and he was seriously injured. He fled into Linyang City and came out of your house by accident. There, there are two killers who covet his head. ā
"That's right."
He killed the last two killers, and finally lost his strength and passed out completely. When the battle is over, you and Yan'er come out, then take her back to the mansion and pull him back from the ghost gate. ā
"How did Lord Jin know these things, and how did he know so clearly?" Even she and the third lady have never said these things so carefully.
"I just explored it based on the situation at the scene, and the big case more than three months ago caused a sensation in the entire Linyang City. Although it was a city, it was not far from the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he dared to commit such a serious crime in broad daylight, which made the emperor very angry. He immediately sent the magistrate to quickly investigate the case, and the magistrate learned from one of Zhang Yuanwai's surviving subordinates that the cause of everything originated from a plum hairpin. and also informed their master that he spent a lot of money to hire a killer to protect the safety of their house, but unfortunately, the killer came too quickly. ā
No one interrupted Fourth Brother Jin's words.
Later, he sent people to the place where the fight was fought outside Linyang City. There he found the bodies of the three killers, the scene of the first crime they had fought against, and judging from the fighting at the scene, the fighting was tragic and both sides were damaged, and he deduced that the killers were still alive, and if he was also dead, then there were more than three bodies at the scene. And he must have been wounded, and if he hadn't escaped injured, there would have been five corpses lying there. ā
"That's right." Jin Zhonglou nodded, and the fourth brother's analysis was really impeccable. "Not only was he injured, but he was badly wounded, otherwise he wouldn't have gone at all."
Fourth Brother Jin nodded.
Jin Zhonglou continued: "The top five killers on the killer list, each of them is a ruthless character, they shoot viciously and make deadly moves. Even if a person is not Bu Yufeng's killer, it is already very difficult for Bu Yufeng to get away with it if they deal with him together. This may be due to the fact that they acted together for the first time, and the cooperation was not tacit enough, so that Yufeng had a chance to fight his way out of the encirclement. ā
Then Bu Yufeng entered Linyang City and killed the last two killers outside the alleys of Zhuluo Street, which just confirmed his previous judgment. Although the magistrate of Lincheng has some clues about Bu Yufeng, although the power of the state capital is strong, it is difficult to resist this kind of crazy demon in the rivers and lakes. After a month of tracking, the state capital lost a lot of people. And the killer still let him get away with it. The state officials had no choice but to report the matter to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would help them, and they were guilty of dereliction of duty. ā
"The court handed over this case to the fourth brother?" Wen Shu spoke.
"Well, the emperor asked me to secretly investigate this matter, and also gave me another task." Jin Minglou, the fourth brother of Jin, did not say what this task was, but the big guys had already guessed it in their hearts.
Presumably this task is related to the Blood Water Palace, the three people of the Blood Water Palace have committed a lot of crimes, and they used to be only regarded as grievances in the rivers and lakes, and the court was too lazy to intervene, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they committed a tragedy, which was simply to despise the monarchy. It is impossible for the emperor to tolerate such a thing.
And the emperor also had another thought, before he made a move on Mingyue Castle, he was already playing his own little Jiujiu in his heart.
He asked Fourth Brother Jin to track down the matter of the Blood Water Palace and hunt them down. Those guards of the imperial court are difficult to compete with these masters of the rivers and lakes, and in the end, Fourth Brother Jin still has to rely on the power of their family.
The emperor just opened his mouth casually, and he killed three birds with one stone. First of all, the evil gangsters who flouted the royal law in the Blood Water Palace were eliminated, highlighting the danger of the imperial court. The second is to use this to test the hole cards of Mingyue Fort and the many forces involved. The third is to weaken the power of Mingyue Castle, so that such a signal is released, and Mingyue Fort begins to help the imperial court deal with the people in the rivers and lakes.
Since ancient times, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have been difficult to run in, and the two are well water and not river water on the surface, but in fact, they are not pleasing to each other. The people of the rivers and lakes must obey the king's law and dare not offend the officialdom. They look at those officials, 10,000 are not used to it. thinks they like to put on the shelf of the official master, and sees them as reckless.
And the people in the officialdom do think that these people in the rivers and lakes are reckless, brave and unscrupulous, but they are not willing to easily offend these people who lick blood from the knife edge.
Gradually, such a complex and delicate relationship was formed between the two.
It is concentrated in one point, the people of the rivers and lakes have to help the people of the rivers and lakes, if they become the eagle dogs of the court, they will be looked down upon by the road. You work for the imperial court, and there are not many people who speak, but if you help the people of the imperial court to arrest the people of the rivers and lakes, no matter what kind of villain he is, he will commit the taboo of the people of the rivers and lakes.
Emperor Qingming's move was to separate the close exchanges between Mingyue Fort and the rivers and lakes.
However, after all, he still underestimated Mingyue Castle and underestimated their right to speak in the rivers and lakes. What's more, Fourth Brother Jin is a smart man, his calculations and the city government will definitely not be worse than the current emperor, but he doesn't have so many intrigues, and his wisdom is used to catch bad guys and protect his family.
Jin Minglou never thought of using the power of Mingyue Fort and the hard bars of the Blood Water Palace, those are all extremely vicious people who kill people without blinking, although Mingyue Fort is not afraid of him, he can't afford to accompany the safety of the family.
Despite this, Jin Minglou has been conscientiously investigating the affairs of the Blood Water Palace, and has not disobeyed the emperor's task at all. It is because Fourth Brother Jin thinks that this Blood Water Palace is indeed a heinous crime, and he does these things not only for the sake of the court, but also to seek justice for the deceased, so as not to let more people die under these gangsters in the Blood Water Palace.
And the matter of the Blood Water Palace, the more you investigate, the more difficult it becomes. Getting rid of the Blood Water Palace is to kill people with money and kill when he is unhappy, and there are some big cases, which make Jin Minglou feel strange. And these people are also related to several measures implemented by the imperial court in the local area. There are several of them, whose identities are very doubtful. For example, the advisers of the dead three princes, and one of his concubines.
Jin Minglou became more and more puzzled, this Blood Water Palace had no contact with the imperial court, and he rarely killed people outside the rivers and lakes, why did he stretch out his hand so long this time and kill so two people who couldn't make sense from anywhere.
You must know that these people have no intersection with the Blood Water Palace at all.
Jin Minglou re-examined the people killed in the Blood Water Palace over the years, and sure enough, he found some clues.
Half a year ago, the Lizhou prefect died in a strange and violent manner, and the Lizhou prefect had openly opposed the emperor's new policy of prohibiting officials from annexing land at the local level. The emperor felt that these magistrates had seriously annexed land, and they were all enriching their own pockets, seeking the interests of the imperial court and exploiting the people. Such a decree was promulgated, in addition to the land owned by the officials, who exceeded the land regulated by the imperial court, they were to be punished severely, and the heavier ones were to be punished with a knife to set an example.
This Lizhou prefect has a backer in the imperial court, and he is the nephew of the Seventh Prince. After the emperor ascended the throne, the seventh prince still coveted the throne and secretly fought wits with the emperor. The emperor has a long-standing grudge against this seventh prince, but the seventh prince is good at scheming and can rarely be caught by the emperor.
originally thought that by taking advantage of this matter of the Lizhou prefect, he could give the Seventh Prince a heavy blow. Who knew that the prefect of Nali Prefecture was not a weak stubble, he didn't know where he learned some of the emperor's secrets, and was ready to set off a mutiny to build momentum for his uncle.
The emperor is still afraid of those things, and he is also worried that it will be difficult to calm down the people's uprising. At that time, the officials who handled the matter were asked to stop the investigation of the Lizhou prefect, and there was a great posture to let him go.
Immediately afterwards, the news of the mysterious and violent death of the prefect of Lizhou came. The things that were planned before are gone.
From beginning to end, there was no figure of the Blood Water Palace. But one thing recorded in it made Jin Minglou focus his suspicions on the Blood Water Palace.
The violent death of the prefect of Lizhou was not counted in the account of the Blood Water Palace, but one of his masters was killed, but it was the hand of the Blood Water Palace. It was from the death of this master that Jin Minglou had doubts about the death of the prefect of Lizhou, and linked the two cases together.
And what is involved behind it is likely to be more complicated than he deduced.
Jin Minglou faintly sensed that the matter of the Lizhou prefect might be related to the case of the Blood Water Palace that he investigated, so he asked a friend to help him go to Lizhou and secretly opened the coffin for him for an autopsy.
He retrieved a broken bone from the Lizhou prefect, and he asked the sixth sister to help inspect it, confirming that the Lizhou prefect died of poisoning, and this poison was the unique poison of the Blood Water Palace. (To be continued.) )
