Xiaozhen's mother passed away early, and Father Xu did not remarry, and pulled her up alone. The father and daughter depend on each other, and their lives are stable. Liu Shui and Xiao Zhen in Shangwa Village on the outskirts of the city are two adults who have been married to each other since childhood, two days ago, Liu Shui came to Xiao Zhen's house, and it happened that Father Xu was not there.

The easiest and most polite way to entertain her future husband is to boil poached eggs, and Xiao Zhen went to the stove to boil eggs without saying anything.

When Liu Shui saw the future lady, his heart was pounding, and he stayed in the courtyard in a daze and waited for Father Xu to come back, turning his head from time to time to glance into the grass house.

After touching a pillar of incense, the chimney in the house stopped smoking, and Liu Shui knew that the eggs were cooked, so he moved into the house.

A full bowl of poached eggs was placed on the table, the fragrant heat was bubbling up to the roof beams, and a pair of chopsticks were placed on the side of the bowl, but Xiao Zhen was missing.

Liu Shui looked into the boudoir, Xiao Zhen was hiding in it and dressing up, her face flushed with shame. He happily sat down and ate poached eggs, one bite at a time.

Liu Shui kept glancing into the room while savoring, Xiao Zhen lowered her head shyly and gently closed the door, but did not cover it tightly, leaving a crack.

As soon as he put down the egg bowl and hadn't left the table, Liu Shui suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and fell to the ground with a "bang" and rolled around.

The son went to visit the future father-in-law, ate the poached eggs boiled by the lady who did not pass the door, and died suddenly, how could Liu Shui's parents accept this reality, and they did not spare Xiaozhen to sue the official.

The government sent someone to investigate the autopsy, and Liu Shui was undoubtedly poisoned.

When the mother-in-law checked Xiao Zhen's lower body to verify her chastity, she resisted desperately, so she insisted that Xiao Zhen had broken her body.

From this, the government concluded that Xiaozhen poisoned her fiancé Jun because she had an adulterer, and she would be beheaded on a later date according to the law of the Tang Dynasty.

……

Coming from Daddy Xu's house, Lu Wuji frowned and kept thinking about these questions.

This is a living human life, and it would not be too cruel to die in vain.

However, how can I help Xiaozhen wash away her grievances?

Seeing Lu Wuji's appearance, Lu Yuxiao reminded in a low voice: "Nonsense, hurry up, we still have to go to the cockfighting conference!" ”

Lu Wuji couldn't help but glance at Lu Yuxiao: "Miss Xiaozhen is about to die, are you still in the mood to watch the cockfighting competition?" I'm not in the mood to go to you! ”

Lu Yuxiao suddenly stopped squeaking when he heard this.

When encountering problems, Lu Wuji's first thought was Lu Xiaoxian.

After hearing Lu Wunon's words, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help frowning.

Why did Xiao Zhen poison Liu Shui?

Where does the poison come from?

If it weren't for Xiao Zhen's poison, how would Liu Shui die?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand to Lu Wuji and said, "Let's go, let's go to Daddy Xu's house again!" ”

Father Xu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Lu Wuji and the two of them go and return, and also brought Lu Xiaoxian with them.

Lu Xiaoxian was not polite, and asked bluntly: "Daddy Xu, what time did Miss Xiaozhen cook poached eggs that day?" ”

"The appointment was just after Shenshi!"

"That's not much like now!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded slightly, "Daddy Xu, if you do what I ask, maybe you can save Miss Xiaozhen's life!" ”

When Father Xu heard Lu Xiaoxian say this, he was overjoyed, how could there be any reason not to follow.

Father Xu cooked a bowl of poached eggs and put it on the small table, and the three of them held their breath and leaned against the door to peek.

After watching it for a while, there was no movement.

There was a bunch of powdered things by the door, and Lu Xiaoxian asked strangely, "Daddy Xu, what is this?" ”

Father Xu glanced at it, continued to stare at the house, and said casually: "This is sake lees, that is, the residue left after brewing. It should have been cleared out, but I didn't care about it for the past two days, and it has already been done, Xiao Langjun asked what to do with this? ”

"Nothing! Just curious, just ask! Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

About half an hour later, I saw seven or eight geckos emerge from the thatch on the roof, climb up to the table, and crawl up and down on the eggs.

Lu Xiaoxian poured the egg to the dog, and the dog immediately barked wildly and rolled to the ground and died, with bruises on his tongue.

"Daddy Xu, you are waiting here, I will come when I go, Miss Xiaozhen is saved!" Lu Xiaoxian threw down a sentence, ignored Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao, and hurriedly went out.

"Master Lu, where are you going?" Lu Wunon didn't know what to do, and shouted loudly.

But there is still the shadow of Lu Xiaoxian

……

In the medical hall, Hua Yunfeng was seeing the patient, Lu Xiaoxian ignored him and left, and hurriedly went to the backyard.

Entering the main house in the backyard, Lu Xiaoxian closed the door and asked directly: "Hua Langzhong, tell me, is the gecko poisonous?" ”

"Why did Lu Gongzi ask this?" Hua Yunfeng was confused.

"Hua Langzhong, I'll talk to you later, can you tell me if geckos are poisonous first? It's a human life! Lu Xiaoxian was anxious.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian didn't seem to be joking, he pondered for a moment, Hua Yunfeng said slowly: "As far as I know, geckos are not poisonous!" ”

"What? Innocuity? Lu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's true!" Hua Yunfeng's words were conclusive. Small composition

The test just now made Lu Xiaoxian mistakenly think that geckos are poisonous, and he came to Hua Yunfeng for verification. If the gecko is really poisonous, it can save Jane's life.

Who knew that Hua Yunfeng's answer was negative, which made Lu Xiaoxian very disappointed.

Hua Yunfeng felt strange and asked strangely: "Don't worry, tell me, what is going on!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian poured beans into the bamboo tube, and told Hua Yunfeng the original story of the before and after.

After hearing this, Hua Langzhong said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Although the gecko itself is non-poisonous, it is not impossible to kill people!" ”

"What? You say geckos can kill people? Lu Xiaoxian asked eagerly.

"Gecko is also called guarding the palace, guarding the palace is extremely lewd, likes water, every time it encounters water, it is highly poisonous, and people will die if they eat it. Therefore, since ancient times, overnight tea is not allowed to drink, for fear that gecko body fluids will fall into the water at night. ”

Hua Yunfeng's words made Lu Xiaoxian happy: "Haha, is there really such a thing?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's mood suddenly improved a lot, his face was also full of smiles, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, he looked at Hua Langzhong, his eyes were rolling around, and he suddenly said: "Hua Langzhong, you have to go to the Assassin's Mansion with me!" ”

"What are you going to do in the Assassin's Mansion?" Hua Yunfeng asked strangely.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled evilly: "The heart of the doctor's parents, the matter of Miss Xiaozhen can only be solved by your Hualang ** face!" ”

Hua Langzhong is the most famous Lang Zhong in Youzhou City, and of course he is much more effective than Lu Xiaoxian when he speaks.

After speaking, Lu Xiaoxian pulled Hua Yunfeng and turned around and left.

……

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Lu's house, it happened that Lu Ruoliang and Lu Wuwu hurriedly walked out, and Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao hurriedly hid to the side in fright.

Lu Wuji felt strange, Lu Wuwu usually lives in Youzhou City, why did he return to the old mansion today?

It's so late, how could Lu Ruoliang go out in a hurry?

Lu Wuwu seemed to be a little panicked, Lu Ruoliang's face was gloomy and dripping, and his brows were locked.

After a closer look, it turned out that it was not the driver of Lu Mansion who was driving, but the housekeeper.

Lu Wuji immediately had an idea: something big should have happened.

Lu Ruoliang and Lu Wuzi got into the carriage and didn't go, Lu Wuji stared at the speeding carriage for a while, and then walked into the courtyard with Lu Yuxiao.

……

As soon as Lu Xiaoxian got up, he saw Zhang Meng and said that the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion wanted to see him.

Butler of the Lu Mansion?

How did he get here?

Although he doesn't deal with him much, Lu Xiaoxian is proficient in mind reading, and it can be seen that the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion is deeply hidden and is a difficult character.

Seeing the housekeeper, Lu Xiaoxian asked about the intention.

The housekeeper sighed, did not hide it, and told the truth of the matter one by one.

Last night, the eldest prince Lu Wuwu hurriedly returned to Lu's house from Youzhou City and told Lu Ruoliang a bad news: Recently, customers have returned goods, saying that the silk sold by the Lu family has been bitten by insects, and even other silk cloths have been infected with insects. Those regular customers not only have to return the original goods, but also demand compensation for the damages.

If something like this happens, it's not as simple as losing some silver, it's related to the reputation of the Lu family.

As the head of the family, Lu Ruoliang certainly knew the stakes, so he and the housekeeper rushed to the Chouzhuang in Youzhou City overnight to inspect, but he couldn't see why. So, Lu Ruoliang asked the housekeeper to invite Lu Xiaoxian.

"Is it serious?" Lu Xiaoxian frowned and asked.

"It's serious!" The housekeeper nodded, "The head of the house and I went to the treasury of the silk village in person, opened the tight packaging, and the fine silk was intact, but when I picked it up, it was all turned into pieces." All the inventory in the library, it's like this! ”

"Has this ever happened before?" Lu Xiaoxian then asked.

"Nope!" The housekeeper also felt incredible, "Chouzhuang is a business run by the Lu family for several generations, the warehouse management is strict, and the insect repellent is injected every month, I really can't understand, how can there be insects in silk?" ”

"Could it be that someone from the library did it?" Zhang Meng interjected on the side.

The housekeeper shook his head: "The head of the house asked the guy who was watching the warehouse to be tied up and tortured, but nothing was asked!" ”

"This matter should have nothing to do with the keeper of the library, if the keeper of the treasury stole one or two horses of silk and said it in the past, how could he let the worms in?" Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian paused and looked at the housekeeper, "Take me to the warehouse to have a look!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian followed and the housekeeper to the Lu family's silk village.

Sure enough, the neatly stacked horses of fine silk in the warehouse were all turned into pieces when they were picked up and shaken.

Lu Xiaoxian sighed and asked, "How big is the loss?" ”

"I have probably calculated, the goods in the warehouse, the payment for the goods returned and the compensation to the customer, about 60,000 taels of silver!"

It can be seen that the housekeeper is also very good at the silk business, and he is not ambiguous at all when calculating the accounts.

Sixty thousand taels of silver?

Lu Xiaoxian knew that this was not a small amount for the Lu family.

Lu Xiaoxian pondered for a long time, and said to the housekeeper: "Butler, can you ask someone to move all the silk and satin aside?" ”

The butler nodded, and instructed the men to do as Lu Wuji instructed.

After the silk was removed, Lu Xiaoxian found some debris on the ground, and then shook out a lot of it from the sack containing the silk.
