The rough man in the backyard scolded him and took a kitchen knife, and was about to rush to the front door, but several guards did not want to hurt him, but when they saw him move, they were no longer polite, and put him down in two or three times, tied him up, gagged his mouth, and threw him into the firewood room on the side.

The shopkeeper and a few guys who were hiding in the four corners of the backyard and peeking saw this momentum and retracted their heads again.

Yu Shu saw that there was no more excitement, so he walked out of the back hall and asked the guards:

"Who was that guy just now?"

The guard who followed Yu Shu downstairs had a straight face at this time, and said: "It's the chef of this restaurant, he has to make trouble once a day, it's not in the way, he will be honest at night, Miss Yu is not scared, right?" ”

Yu Shu shook his head and looked at the door of the firewood room that was locked, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"This cook refuses to cook, and whatever the girl wants to eat, I will go to the street to buy it." The guard asked, a little annoyed.

Yu Shu nodded, "I see a house selling roast goose across the street, buy two and try it, and bring a few meat buns." ”

So saying, he took off the purse from his waist, took a piece of silver, and handed it to him:

"A few guards and big brothers have also been guarding for most of the day, buy a few more side dishes and come back to eat."

Although I don't know what the reason for Lu Dao, Xue Rui has to live in the restaurant where the murder occurred, but she saw the cook's strike today, these people should not have been able to eat an Ontario meal for a few days.

The guard hesitated and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's still early, and the adults have their lives, so we must not leave our posts without permission. ”

Hear the words. Yu Shu didn't insist, nodded, and still stuffed the silver money to him

The sun was about to set, Xue Rui woke up, went out of the room, knocked on the opposite door and found that the person was not there, so he asked the guards in the corridor and found the downstairs.

Yu Shu sat alone by the window on the second floor tearing a goose leg to eat, and when he saw him coming down, he smiled and pointed to the opposite seat:

"Big brother woke up. Come and try this roast goose. Just baked and it tastes good. ”

Xue Rui walked over and sat down, turned his head along the half-open window, and looked at the scene outside the restaurant. Soon found the sneaky figure at the mouth of the alley with a slanted face. The corners of his mouth twitched. He casually shifted his gaze.

"Have you rested?" Yu Shu took a piece of tender goose meat and put it in the bowl in front of him.

"Hmm," Xue Rui raised his chopsticks slowly, "thanks to you." Finally got a good night's sleep. ”

Yu Shu raised his eyebrows and put down his chopsticks: "Then let's talk while eating, what is hidden in this case?" ”

Xue Rui nodded, chewed and swallowed slowly for a while, before he spoke under Yu Shu's staring gaze:

"The murderer of Zhou Qi is now hiding in this restaurant."

Yu Shu narrowed his eyes, "Then why don't you let people arrest him quickly." ”

There was a murderer hiding in this restaurant, and he was in the mood to sit here and eat roast goose with her.

Xue Rui shook his chopsticks: "You can't catch it." ”

"Can't be caught?" The more Yu Shu listened, the more confused he became, how could he find the prisoner but not arrest him.

Xue Rui was not busy explaining, and after changing the topic, he talked about another thing:

"Do you know who the Governor of Liangguang is?"

Yu Shu shook her head, where did she know that there were a few things about the government and politics, that is, the officials in the capital, and she still didn't recognize them all.

However, the official position of the governor of Liangguang sounds very high.

"Lu Buhuan, the governor of Liangguang, is the brother of Concubine Lu Xian in the harem today."

"Concubine Lu?" Yu Shuhu said suspiciously, "Isn't that the mother of the eleventh prince?" ”

Xue Rui nodded.

Yu Shu was strange now, "The Lu family is not one of the twelve mansion families, this Lu Buhuan actually went to the local government to become a big official?" ”

"Great official," Xue Rui sighed lightly, and his tone was inexplicable:

"This official, it is indeed big enough, that is also Lu Buhuan with his ability, step by step to climb to today's position, in the early years of Guangdong floods, countless victims, others want to stay away, he had a good future back then, but he was willing to ask for his life to repair the water, a cure for eleven years. In these two areas, some people don't know who today's son is, but no one knows who he is. ”

Yu Shu listened carefully, she looked at the history books, most of the civil and military generals who protected distant places, most of their merits have reached a certain level, and the slightest change will cause the emperor to be suspicious.

It is no wonder that the emperor would quietly send an imperial historian to visit the place he ruled.

Thinking of this, Yu Shu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice:

"No, the main messenger who sent someone to kill Lord Zhou is the person from the Lu family in the capital."

The Lu family knew that the emperor wanted to catch Lu Buhuan's pigtails, and this Lu Buhuan did have something hidden and couldn't let the emperor know about the road, so the Lu family arranged a killer and solved Zhou Qi on the way out of Beijing.

This speculation is reasonable.

"I also thought of the Lu family at the beginning," Xue Rui told her honestly, "Although Concubine Lu doesn't like to be reckless, and the Lu family has always been quiet and self-contained, not like a ruthless person, but Liu Yi is a brainless person." ”

There is no one else, he bluntly expresses his contempt for Liu Yi, the prince.

Killing Qin Cha and cutting off the way is really to cover up, this move is ruthless and stupid, the Lu family can't do it, and it is very possible to replace him Liu Yi.

"So, Liu Yi asked you to do it?" Yu Shu frowned, she only had a bad feeling for the shameless eleventh prince.

Xue Rui sneered slightly, "If this case is investigated like this, when I catch the murderer, there is no doubt that he Liu Yi has done it." ”

"Did he do that?" Yu Shu grinded his teeth, listening to Xue Rui selling with her, he wanted to pry open his brain to see how many bends there were.

"Originally, I wasn't sure, but after your calculations, it was determined that it was not Liu Yi who made a stupid move, but someone made up a good show, set a trap, and delusionally tried to kill two birds with one stone."

Xue Rui's gentle eyebrows suddenly became sharp, and he said in a low voice:

The saint stared at the Lu family. Specially sent people to Liangguang, nine times out of ten is to take the opportunity to punish Lu Buhuan, take him from the position of governor of Liangguang, at this time Qin Cha has an accident, the Lu family must be suspicious, and then the case I found out, blamed on Liu Yi's head, then when I return to Beijing to restore my life, they will not remember me. ”

Yu Shu straightened his face, thinking about it. If the thing was done by Liu Yi. That's it, if it wasn't Liu Yi who did it, Xue Rui found out that it was him, and the emperor blamed it. The Lu family will definitely think that Xue Rui is getting in the way. Hate him to death.

That's it. The Lu family lost power, Concubine Lu fell out of favor, and Liu Yi was wronged. Xue Rui is tantamount to getting into trouble with an enemy.

"Who set the trap," she asked, and then without waiting for Xue Rui to answer, she gritted her teeth in a low voice:

"Is it King Ning?!"

Yes, Xiao Monkey, the main messenger behind the scenes, is not Liu Hao's insidious and vicious hypocrite, which one else can it be!

Xue Rui sneered and told her another thing:

"The news of Zhou Qi's death was transmitted back to the capital, and that day there was a discussion in the imperial study, and King Ning was in front of the palace, and it was he who proposed that I come to investigate this case."

At that time, there were several ministers present, there was no his grandfather Xue Lingnan, but there was a scholar of Hanwen Academy, who was his teacher when he was learning tea art.

It was this incident that aroused his suspicions, so he did not investigate the case for a long time, knowing that the "murderer" was still hiding in this restaurant, but he did not arrest him.

He was sure that once he found out the murderer, the other party would definitely bite Liu Yi to death.

"And what are you going to do now?" Yu Shu was anxious for Xue Rui.

He was ordered to investigate the case and could not be delayed, but if he continued to investigate, he would fall into the trap of King Ning again.

"At this point, there are only two options." Xue Rui put up his chopsticks, supported his chin with the back of his hand, and looked at Yu Shudao:

"One is that I was passive and sluggish, procrastinating, waiting for the Holy Lord to run out of patience and send someone to take over this errand."

"It's not good," Yu Shu vetoed without thinking about it, "Not to mention that you will be belittled by the emperor if you do this, do we know that Lu Dao is a treacherous plan of King Ning, so we let him go so cheaply?" ”

Yu Shu still remembers that Liu Hao sent someone to kidnap her and Shui Yun, if it wasn't for her fate, she would have been killed a long time ago and became a rotten corpse in the cellar.

and Ji Xingxuan, who was bent on putting her to death, was also rescued by Liu Hao, so he saved a small life.

Now that he is calculating Xue Rui again, the new hatred is adding the old hatred, and Yu Shu's teeth itch when he thinks about it.

"Huh."

Seeing her puffing appearance, Xue Rui chuckled and said:

"Then we'll go the other way."

"Huh?"

"Count, count."

Ningwangfu

Under the gazebo, Liu Hao, who was dressed in a plain brocade robe, sat idly, with a small handful of fish food on his palm, slowly sprinkled it, and looked at the red carp competing to please him in the pond with great interest.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and he didn't look back, and asked casually:

"What's going on in Peixian, Xue Shaoqing has found out the case?"

The spy brought by the steward stood at the foot of the pavilion steps and whispered:

"Back to the prince, Xue Rui still lives in that restaurant, and there is no progress in the case."

"Really?" Liu Hao frowned slightly, "What should I do?" ”

Xue Rui has a few pounds and a few taels, he can't be clearer, this case seems to be hidden, but in fact, it has sold the slightest flaw, others may not be able to investigate, but Xue Rui will definitely not be bad.

The person who came shrank for a moment and said: "Xue Rui asked people to block the restaurant, and the county government was not allowed to interfere, even a fly could not fly in, our people couldn't send the news, and I don't know what happened to the dead man who mixed into the restaurant, and it failed to arouse Xue Rui's suspicion." ”

Liu Hao thought for a while, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "What has happened in the past two days?" ”

The person paused, and said: "In the early hours of this morning, a carriage stopped at the back door of the restaurant, and a person came, secretive, I don't know who it was. ”

As soon as Liu Hao's heart moved, he remembered a person who had become famous recently, and his eyes narrowed suddenly:

"Is that her?" (To be continued......)
