Chapter 98

"I don't usually see you reacting so quickly, why did you come here earlier than me tonight?" Cen Fu asked him, Cen Shou's room was farther away than his.

"Ah Rui said that there were people in the eldest son's room, I didn't believe it at first, but then I noticed that something was wrong and rushed over."

Cen Fu couldn't believe it: "His ears are so good!" ”

Lu Yi said: "Before Ah Rui was injured, the kung fu was above you, not surprising. ”

Outside the door, Chun Yumin's maid cautiously poked her head out little by little, and suddenly saw the blood stains on the window lattice, trembling with fright, and her voice trembled: "Is it a dead person?" ”

"Nope." Lu Yi commanded in a deep voice, "Cen Fu, send her back, explain the reason, don't scare them." ”

Cen Fu received the order, and when he saw that Cen Shou was still in the local area, he dragged him out with him.

Lu Yi looked down and saw his feet this summer, he didn't wear shoes and socks, and under the candlelight, his eyes were white and dazzling.

"I didn't even have time to put on my shoes and socks, so I came to see me." He carried her to the bed, pulled over the quilt to wrap her feet, and looked at her with a smile, "It seems that you are really worried about me." ”

"That's ...... But, brother, what did you find out that forced Hu Zongxian to kill you? This summer pulled his face, "Don't lie to me, don't hide from me." Don't think I can't see it, you just came back from outside and happened to bump into the man in black in the house. ”

Lu Yi approvingly: "Tell me, where did I show my traces?" ”

"The soles of your boots are stained with moss and dew, and you look at the window frames, and on the ground......" Summer, gesturing to the window, "you jump in through the window, slide around to avoid the sneak attack, and then turn around...... It couldn't be clearer. ”

"Admire and admire, admire below." Lu Yi said, his body bullied her, and he kissed her.

After a while, he pushed him away violently and said angrily: "Wait, you haven't answered why I want Hu Zongxian to kill you...... Don't use beauty tricks on me! ”

Unexpectedly, she was still thinking about this, Lu Yi pursed her lips, turned her head to look at her and said: "Beauty is currently quite determined, it seems that Yuan Zhu is expected to be promoted within the year." ”

Seeing that he continued to ramble, this summer was even more sure that he had an accident to hide from himself, and frowned: "Why, I just let you believe it like this?" Just can't tell me? ”

"Not ......"

Lu Yi sighed, and told her about seeing Wang Yang's family tonight, but he hid Lan Daoxing's identity.

After listening to it for a long time this summer and thinking about it for a long time, I felt that this matter was really a mess, and people couldn't judge it, so I had to say: "Then, did Hu Zongxian have a common name?" ”

"What do you think?" Lu Yi asked her rhetorically as usual.

According to Wang Yang's words, Hu Zongxian led Wang Zhi ashore, and Wang Zhi was arrested, indicating that Hu Zongxian was using a plan and did not communicate with him; But after Wang Zhi was arrested, Hu Zongxian also sent things to her house, which is suspicious, could it be that this matter was a misunderstanding, and he wanted to release Wang Zhi, then he must have been a traitor; But I think about it again, maybe Hu Zongxian is trying to stabilize the Japanese Kou, otherwise they will move Xia Zheng, so he pretends to treat them well, then he still hasn't communicated with the Japanese Kou...... "This summer's mouth is croaking, and he has analyzed a thousand things, "But the most important thing, Hu Zongxian sent someone to assassinate you tonight, obviously there is a ghost in his heart, which means that he is still a widow!" ”

"That's not necessarily, above the officialdom, there can be three waves without wind, he may have misunderstood me, and it is possible to strike first in order to protect himself." Lu Yi said lightly.

Jinxia stared at him suspiciously: "Brother, why do I think you are talking to him?" You think, Xia was sent to Mao Haifeng by him, and he sent people to hunt down and kill Wang Zhi's family, and now he is still here to kill you, these things are layered, at least it can prove that he definitely has a problem in the matter of Tongwei. ”

"The evidence in this case is insufficient, and the case cannot be hastily decided, and it needs to be carefully investigated."

Lu Yi had a businesslike tone.

There was a knock outside the door, followed by Mrs. Shen's voice: "Are you inside this summer?" ”

“…… I'm here! ”

This summer lifted the quilt, and was about to go down to the ground to open the door, but was stopped by Lu Yi, and he went to open the door himself.

Mrs. Shen stood at the door, carrying her shoes, and did not come in, and reproached in an unkind tone: "This summer, you are a girl's family, you have to have the appearance of a girl's family, what kind of body does it become to stay in the man's room in the middle of the night, come back quickly." ”

"Ahh......h

Lu Yi's face was very calm, and he handed her the shoes.

This summer, I put on my shoes, and with a stomach full of doubts, I obediently followed Mrs. Shen back to the room.

Lu Yi covered the door, a little reluctant, but secretly relieved: if she stayed any longer, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

******************************************************************

Early the next morning, Yang Yue filled white porridge and brought it to Jinxia, asking, "What happened last night?" ”

This summer took a big bag of three dings, and said in surprise while eating: "You slept to death, and you were so fierce last night, didn't you know at all?" ”

Yang Yue was very depressed: "I heard the movement a long time ago and wanted to catch up, but I was stopped by your uncle." He said that Lord Lu could deal with it, and he didn't need me to do much, so he said that he wouldn't allow me to go up. His kung fu is so good, and his strength is so great, wherever I am his opponent, I can't move when I am pressed. ”

"I didn't expect my uncle to be quite smart, I didn't need to look at it to know that Lord Lu was definitely fine." A few words of praise this summer.

Yang Yue asked, "What happened?" ”

This summer, I was about to tell him, when I suddenly saw the shopkeeper leading a small servant in.

"On the order of Hu Dudu, I will present this thing to Lord Lu, and ask Lord Lu to come over to the mansion."

"Hu Dudu?!"

This summer squinted his eyes and looked at the little guy suspiciously, there was just such a big battle last night, this morning Hu Zongxian sent someone to the door as if it was nothing, and asked Lu Yi to come over to the mansion to talk about it, and everyone else was a fool.

Cen Fu stepped forward, and for the sake of safety, he opened the box and took a look at it, before frowning and closing it.

"Eldest prince, Governor Hu sent someone to ask you to come over to the mansion. Also gave ......"

Hearing Cen Fu's voice pause slightly, Lu Yi opened the door and saw a small servant next to him, holding a wide long box in his hand.

Cen Fu already knew what was inside the box, and immediately stretched out his hand to open it for Lu Yi to see.

There were two long swords in the box, as well as two bloody arms, which could be seen to be the arms of the man in black who came to attack Lu Yi last night. Lu Yi frowned, motioned to Cen Fu to close the lid of the box, and sighed to the little servant: "I released them last night, why bother with Hu Dudu." ”

Hu Zongxian sent someone to kill him last night, probably after hearing that Zhao Wenhua was demoted, he was afraid that he would be unfavorable to him, so he rushed to the doctor. Now he cut off the arms of his subordinates to sue for peace, hoping that he would ignore his previous suspicions...... It seems that Xia Zheng's tragic death, coupled with Zhao Wenhua's demotion, and the impeachment of the DPRK and China are piled up like snowflakes, these things have made Hu Zongxian chaotic.

"Hu Dudu originally wanted to send the heads of the two of them, but Master Xu said that Lord Lu is a broad-minded person, and since he let them go, he will definitely not want to see them apologize with his life." Holding the box and the little guy said.

"Master Xu?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, Xu Wei Xu Wenchang."

Lu Yi groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Cen Fu said uneasily: "Eldest son, let me accompany Cen Shou." ”

"No need, since I went to the appointment, I can naturally trust Hu Dudu." Lu Yi waved his hand and refused, and went inside to change clothes.

Seeing that Lu Yi was dressed in a sky-blue on-the-ground gauze and gold mending clothes, and walked to the inner hall with a prayer belt on the side of the box, he said uneasily this summer: "You really want to go to his house, don't you forget ......"

Lu Yi stopped her words: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

"Shall I go with you?"

"Your leg hasn't healed yet, and it's too rude to limp in front of Hu Dudu." He smiled and turned to leave.

Looking at his back apprehensively, he bit his lip in frustration this summer.

***************************************************************

When he mourned Xia Zheng before, Lu Yi had already come to Hufu once, but he only stayed in the outer hall for a cup of tea and left. Today, he was led by the little maid and walked all the way inside, leading him to the back garden.

It was 10 years of early summer, and several pomegranate trees in the garden were in bloom, and the flowers were blooming.

Hu Zongxian had a calm face, standing with his hands in his hands, and his eyes didn't know where to look. Xu Wei sat beside the stone table beside him, stroking the teacup, but he was also silent, and he was distracted.

After hearing the footsteps, Hu Zongxian turned around and saw Lu Yi behind the little guy, his face relaxed slightly, because of last night's incident, he had been worried that Lu Yi would not go to the appointment, and now that he saw him coming, there was still room for discussion in this matter.

Xu Wei also looked at Lu Yi, because he dared to come alone after what happened last night, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes.

"Yan Yuan," Hu Zongxian strode forward and said with a smile on his face, "It's good that you are willing to come, I am only worried that you will misunderstand me because of what happened last night and refuse to enter this door." ”

Lu Yi said with a smile: "It's a misunderstanding, how can you be concerned about your humble position." ”

"Good! Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers, you are so open-minded, we old guys are not as good as ourselves, and we are not as good as ourselves! Hu Zongxian patted him on the shoulder vigorously and invited him to take a seat.

Lu Yi didn't sit down in a hurry, turned to Xu Wei, who had been standing quietly next to him, and said, "This is Master Xu Wei, who is known as the Qingteng Monk, right?" ”

Xu Wei returned the salute without humility or arrogance: "Wen Chang see Lord Lu." ”

"Mr. Jiuwen's name, I can see it today, and I am fortunate to say it."

"Wen Chang is ashamed."

Hu Zongxian didn't expect Lu Yi to respect Xu Wei so much, and beckoned them to take a seat at the moment. After the servants had served tea, he told them all to step down, and no one was allowed in the back garden.

Seeing that the servants had all retreated, Lu Yi knew that Hu Zongxian wanted to get down to business, but it was Xu Wei who spoke first.

Xu Wei asked, "Lord Lu came alone today, so naturally he can trust the governor. Then we will get straight to the point when we speak, and there is no need to be taboo. Last night, what did the sentence that Lord Lu let people bring back, 'The mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'? ”

Lu Yi smiled, but he didn't say it explicitly, but said: "I know that because of Zhao Wenhua's demotion and the fact that there are many people in the court who impeach Lord Hu for accepting bribes from Japanese robbers, fornication, etc., Lord Hu must be in a very depressed mood, so I asked them to bring words to comfort my lord." ”

Hearing that he didn't want to say it clearly, thinking that he still had scruples about himself, Hu Zongxian simply said: "I know that Yan Yuan, you have come to Liangzhejiang this time to have important matters, just to find out whether I have fornicated with the Japanese, right?" ”

"I have a duty on my shoulders, please forgive me."

"You don't have to ask me for forgiveness, if you are willing to come alone today, I will no longer hide it from you." Hu Zongxian waved his hand, "Wen Chang, you tell him all the hard work we have been doing all these years, and it is up to him to decide whether it is a common man or not." ”
