Chapter 96: I respect my uncle

"What Lu Yunqing said, what did you say?"

The old man kneeling at the front of the crowd was full of shock, and muttered, "So, we misunderstood her......"

"What misunderstanding? I think Li Zhaoqing deliberately misled us! ”

"That's it!"

"We still believe that he is a good official, and he is the one who really harms people, hateful!"

In the crowd, some people were sober and gritted their teeth.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Lu Yunqing sighed lightly, said nothing, and turned to leave.

The people on her knees were stunned, and no one stopped her.

They have no face.

"Li Zhaoqing's heart can be punished, but we ...... There are also mistakes. ”

"We killed the mysterious doctor's old friend, where do we have the face to beg her to help?"

"The doctor is sad, so he won't just leave, right?"

"That'...... Then Luzhou City will be completely hopeless! ”

Everyone you talk to me, no one can tell a clue, they got up and left, there are few people here, can not come to a conclusion, there is no shortage of respected scholars in Luzhou City, they need those people to gather more people to think of a way, come up with ideas.

Lu Yunqing quietly returned to the Li Mansion, there were a lot of rumors in the mansion, and it was already a little chaotic, and no one cared about her going or staying.

As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Lu Yunqing was locked in the study and couldn't come out, she still had some things to prepare.

Huan'er was busy helping Lu Yunqing clean up and make a show.

The thought of reporting to Li Zhaoqing has long been gone.

Although she doesn't have Li Hongyan or Lu Yunqing's city government, she is not stupid.

Li Zhaoqing, can't play Lu Yunqing.

Exposing Lu Yunqing for no reason, she has only one way to die, and now the only way to survive is to follow Lu Yunqing and not take a step away.

Lu Yunqing gave two days to let the news in front of the Qing embroidery workshop walk to every corner of Luzhou City.

Li Zhaoqing was furious after receiving the news, but he had no time to take care of it, just suppressing the riots in the city had already made him anxious, and he couldn't even pull out the manpower to secretly go out of the city.

In desperation, he could only go to "Li Hongyan" again to get ideas.

"It's messed up, it's all messed up."

Li Zhaoqing hurriedly stepped into the door, wiped the sweat stains on his head, and quickly said: "You have also heard the news of the Qingxiu Workshop, not to mention the news of the blockade of the patients now, even the blockade of the city gate is extremely difficult, Yan'er, what else can you do?" ”

"It's easy."

Lu Yunqing was still calm, which made Li Zhaoqing instinctively feel at ease, "What about Jia Leshan?" The garrison raised on the outskirts of the city is not an idle meal, so let him come over to help suppress it, it's a trivial matter. And when we go out of the city, we probably need his help, but we don't need to tell him our purpose, just let him fight

Seal the name of the plague and suppress it, in case he turns against the water. ”

Li Zhaoqing didn't want Jia Leshan to get involved, but he couldn't trust Jia Leshan, for fear that he would make the whole situation even more chaotic.

But since "Li Hongyan" said so, Li Zhaoqing's heart also let go of half of it, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Yan'er, you have really grown up, and you are more reassuring than a few months ago, Uncle will rely on you this time!" ”

Lu Yunqing's eyes flashed slightly, smiled, and said softly: "Uncle rest assured, he will live up to his trust." ”

"Okay."

Li Zhaoqing carried a peace of mind and left quickly.

As soon as he left, the smile on Lu Yunqing's face disappeared instantly, and he became calm and waveless, and his eyes were cold to the bone.

She wasn't prepared to spare anyone.

When Jia Leshan received the news, he really promised that if he could curb the spread of the plague, it would also be a great achievement, and as for the deaths and injuries in Luzhou City, it had nothing to do with him.

Even if they all died, it was Li Zhaoqing who took the blame, and he was reprimanded a few times at most, which was not a big deal.

The garrison blocked the city gate and stationed outside the city, Jia Leshan was extremely decisive, ordered people to kill chickens and monkeys, and quickly quelled the rebellion at the city gate, and no one dared to go to the city gate to die.

As for Jia Leshan himself, he was still hiding outside the city and did not set foot in the city, he didn't want to be infected with the plague.

"Ahem......"

Jia Leshan coughed twice and frowned, "That old thing wants me to open the North City Gate tonight, what are your plans?" Do you want to slip away? ”

It's impossible, there are dozens of people in the entire Li Mansion, and the people in Luzhou City are not blind.

Besides, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, even if he Li Zhaoqing escapes, where can he flee to?

Jia Leshan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

Whatever, it's none of his business, hang high. If he Li Zhaoqing can slip away, it is also his own ability, and when the time comes, he will send someone to follow behind, maybe there will be a yellow finch behind, and arrest him to receive the merit, which is much more cost-effective than stopping him now.

Jia Leshan pondered, and suddenly shuddered.

"Grandma, why is it a little cold in the summer?"

Jia Leshan muttered to himself, and his eyes suddenly became strange.

No, it must be his hallucination!

There have been so many deaths in the past few days that even he has become suspicious.

Jia Leshan forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and his face was no longer as relaxed as before.

On this day, in the evening, Li Zhaoqing dragged his tired body back.

The housekeeper in the robe had already prepared the dinner party, waiting for him to come back at the door, and when he saw the master, he hurriedly greeted him, without a smile on his face, "Master, everything is ready." ”

Li Zhaoqing nodded, looking at the tables set up in the courtyard of the house, he took a deep breath and made a complicated sound

"Let's have a table." ”

"Yes."

The housekeeper in the robe replied in a low voice, and then couldn't help coughing twice, and then he covered his chest and retreated.

Li Zhaoqing subconsciously took a few steps back, he wasn't sure if the butler had the plague.

Whether it is or not, just in case, this time...... Can't take him.

Under the greeting of the housekeeper in the Chinese robe, the front yard and the lobby quickly became lively, and after all the female dependents of the Li family were seated, even the people were able to enter the hospital for the first time, and they were all flattered.

Some people have even guessed that the master is going to dismiss his subordinates. This feast is a casual meal.

Lu Yunqing sat next to Li Zhaoqing, and the eldest lady of the Li family talked to her, but she only nodded and said very little.

There are many mistakes, although Huan'er told her a lot about how Li Hongyan usually gets along with people in the backyard, but she is not Li Hongyan after all, and some details are revealed too much, maybe people can see the clue.

Li Zhaoqing's mood at the moment was extremely complicated.

One night husband and wife, although he and his wife do not have much affection, they are husband and wife after all.

Today, he wants to poison his wife and concubine with his own hands, how can he not be in chaos in his heart?

Therefore, even if Lu Yunqing behaved differently than usual, he was not in the mood to figure it out, he only muttered and hesitated in his heart, until the housekeeper next to him reminded him, he suddenly became ruthless, opened his eyes and got up and said loudly:

"You have all been in my Li family for many years, hardworking and down-to-earth, and willing to endure hardships. If you are forced to do so, the old man does not want to dismiss you. ”

Li Zhaoqing sighed softly, his eyes full of sorrow, "But now the situation in Luzhou City, you have also seen it, I am not a person with a heart like a stone." The plague god is raging, nothing is more important than life, after today's meal, you are no longer from the Li family. Tomorrow morning, I will open the gates, and if you want to run for your life, run for your life. ”

These words are true and sincere. Even the eldest lady sitting next to Lu Yunqing was full of tears, as if she was emotional.

What Li Zhaoqing has done over the years, she is not completely ignorant of it, she can't stop it, she only feels disgust and indifference to Li Zhaoqing, plus Li Zhaoqing is not capable, and there are no heirs in the family, she really lacks feelings for Li Zhaoqing at all.

Now, under the catastrophe, Li Zhaoqing's conscience found that it really made her look up to her.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady took the initiative to pick up the wine glass for the first time, stood up, and said with a smile: "The husband is benevolent and righteous, and the concubine respects the husband with a cup." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Yunqing also stand up, holding a wine glass and smiling: "It's better for everyone to be together, Yan'er respects Uncle!" ”

The two highest-ranking female relatives of the Li Mansion spoke, and everyone stood up and raised their wine glasses one after another.

"To the master!"

"To your lordship!"

“……”

"Good!"

Li Zhaoqing had tears in his eyes, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and when he caught a glimpse of Li Hongyan's face with a smile on his face, he sighed lightly in his heart.

After all, he still didn't have Yan'er's heart.

After ten years of drinking, everyone ate the food lively, after all, it was a meal on the road, Li Zhaoqing prepared quite a sumptuous meal, and some dishes were never tasted in a lifetime, and everyone ate happily.

There are not many people at the main table who move chopsticks, and the eating appearance is also elegant.

But this elegance did not last long, and was interrupted by a scream in the courtyard.

"I hurt so much...... Yes! ”

A subordinate who had eaten the most suddenly stood up, clutched his chest and fell straight down, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he couldn't blink to death.

Immediately afterwards, as if there was a chain reaction, the people in the courtyard fell down one after another, and the screams continued.

Mrs. Li's apricot eyes widened, she looked at the tragic scene in the courtyard in disbelief, looked back at Li Zhaoqing, who had closed her eyes, and finally couldn't help it, and said hatefully: "Li Zhaoqing, do you know what you're doing?!" ”

Li Zhaoqing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his wife silently.

Mrs. Li seemed to understand something, and smiled sadly, "You...... It's ruthless. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell down and lost her voice.

"Big lady!"

The warbler on the main table Yanyan panicked, and then two more weak Seven Orifices bled to death, and the entire Li Mansion continued to scream, like hell on earth.

"Li Zhaoqing, I'm going to kill you!"

A concubine with a disheveled hair rushed and was immediately stopped by the dead soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time, and stabbed to death.

Bright red blood spread on the ground.

Lu Yunqing gently took his foot away, did not stain the blood, and retreated to the middle of the dead, the ring around him trembled, and his face was so pale that he closed his eyes, not daring to look.

After a moment, the Li Mansion was quiet.

Li Zhaoqing seemed to be suffocated, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, raised his feet and stepped over the round-eyed housekeeper, full of decadence.

The huge Li family is gone, how can he not be lost.

Lu Yunqing quietly looked at the hideous corpses all over the courtyard and the house, sat quietly for a while, as if some shackles had been opened in her heart, she exhaled lightly, and said loudly: "The carriage has been arranged, Yan'er will take the first step to pick you up outside the city, as for these corpses, you should know how to deal with them, Yan'er won't say much." ”

After speaking, Lu Yunqing didn't look at Li Zhaoqing much, and left under the arch guard of the dead man.

Huan'er told him that the dead soldiers cultivated by the Li Mansion over the years were actually Li Hongyan's.
