Chapter 14: The Deserved
"Duan Han?"
Hu Xiu remembered that in the daytime, in the Moon Tower, there seemed to be a conflict between a son-in-law surnamed Duan and a reckless man named Lu Wei.
"His son's name is Duan Xiu?"
"Huh? My lord, how do you know that his cub is called Duan Xiu? ”
Listening to the sense of speech, Hu Xiu knew that it was Shi Dali who was speaking.
"I guess, during the day, I saw Duan Xiu in the Moon Tower."
"Can the murderer be found?"
"It's been checked." This sentence was said by Shi Dajin.
"Lu Wei?"
Hu Xiu asked tentatively.
"Oh my mother! My lord, why did you guess again? Aren't you a god coming down to earth? ”
This shock, Hu Xiu was scared like this again, he had to call his mother...
"Second brother! You shut up! Stop talking! ”
"I'm sorry, my lord, the second brother was kicked in the head by a donkey again when he was a child, and after kicking, his foot slipped and clamped the door again. But the villain's family is poor, and he has no money to treat his second brother, and when he grows up, he is like this, he has the brute strength of that body, but he doesn't know the etiquette. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind, I don't mind."
Shi Dajin has said everything about this, and no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can't say it anymore.
"I've seen this Lu Wei before, and it's also in Mochiyue Tower, and he once had a conflict with Duan Xiu."
"Then the motive for the murder is there."
The conflict was just a quarrel, and it was Lu Wei who took the initiative to provoke it, and in the end, Lu Wei took the upper hand, and he had no resentment in his heart. And it was Duan Xiu who had a quarrel with him, what reason did he have to kill his father? ”
"But... This..."
Shi Dajin seemed to hesitate, as if he had something to say.
"What do you have to say?"
"But at the scene, there are all human and material evidence, and this Lu Wei is the murderer."
"How come personal and physical evidence are in the law?"
Hu Xiu listened to it with interest, this yamen acted fast enough, according to the guess, Lu Wei was still in the Moon Tower at noon, then he could only commit the crime in the afternoon, he had just finished killing people, and the case was solved, and the action was inevitably too fast, right?
(Afternoon: between 11am and 1pm)
"Master Hu, it's like this, around the time of You, Lu Wei rushed into the Duan Mansion with a big knife in his hand, killed several subordinates in a row, and broke into the study. At that time, the guard was sitting cross-legged at the desk looking at the book, Na Lu Wei was menacing, the knife in his hand slashed directly, Duan Guard didn't have time to dodge, and panicked to resist, lifted the desk, Lu Wei's knife smashed the desk, and wiped his arm to create a bloody mark. ”
(Unitary time: between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.)
"What you just said, but someone has a case restored? I don't believe that there were other people in the study at that time, and all this happened. ”
"Lord Hu is really smart, this is the head of Xindu of our Zhenwu Yamen, tell you."
"But it was only a bloody streak. I can't kill this guard. ”
"The knife was coated with poison that 'sealed the throat with blood', and in an instant, the guards convulsed, fell to the ground, and died."
"This has been planned for a long time~"
Hu Xiu secretly recalled what Shi Dajin told him just now.
"Is this poison easy to get on the market?"
"No, my lord, it's the opposite, this poison is quite rare, and you have to use a special secret recipe to configure it."
"How about this Lu Wei's family background?"
"It's just an ordinary poor family, it's just that when I was young, I occasionally got a cultivation method, and after more than twenty years of hard cultivation, I am now a fifth-order master."
After more than 20 years of hard training, it is only the fifth order? Hu Xiu secretly rolled his eyes.
"He's just an ordinary person, how did he get this poison?"
"This~"
Shi Dajin got stuck.
At this time, Xiao Er came up with three or four plates of cold dishes.
No wonder it's so slow, it's when all the cold dishes are ready, and then they are served together...
"Come, come, drink, eat."
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Looking at Shi Dajin, who was deep in thought, not necessarily picking up vegetables, Hu Xiu guessed that he might have figured it out, but he just didn't want to say it, he didn't want to make trouble for himself, look at this shrewd energy.
"The villain is stupid and doesn't understand the meaning of what the adult says."
"There's someone above him, helping him."
Hu Xiu sandwiched a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and took a sip of wine, the taste of this wine is really sweet and mellow, and the fragrance is rich.
"You just said that Lu Wei broke into Duan's mansion, forcibly killed a few guards, and went straight to the study?"
"Yes, my lord, the maids and subordinates in the Duan Mansion are all like this, and there will be no mistake."
"Then how did this Lu Wei know that when he went, this Han must be in the study? Is it a coincidence? Hehe~"
Hu Xiu sneered twice, if it was really a coincidence, then it could only be blamed for this bad fate.
"I'm afraid this show is not dead, and it is still intact, alive."
"Yes, as the lord said, at this time, this prince is still drinking flower wine outside!"
"Tut~"
It's really funny, if Duan Gongzi, who has a quarrel with him, doesn't kill him, he wants to kill his father.
I'm afraid he doesn't know, after killing the court officials, the emperor issued a hunt and killing order, as long as he stays in Hu for a day and is caught, it will really be a hundred deaths!
"Come on, Shi Dajin, let's stop talking about business, have a drink, I'll do it first!"
The alcohol concentration of this autumn dew should not be high, it is estimated to be more than 30 degrees, and the cup is also small, and it is warm when you drink it in your stomach.
"That's right, brother, I didn't understand any of the errands you said, and what I just said to adults, and I couldn't interject."
Shi Dali, if you can understand, it's a strange thing.
"Second brother, don't talk about that gossip anymore. Our brother's errand to stay in the Yamen today is all because Master Hu has said good things for us. Get up, let's toast Lord Hu. ”
This Shi Dajin had just accompanied Hu Xiu to drink a glass of wine, so he pulled his second brother up and respectfully toasted him with a glass of wine.
"There's no one else, don't talk so much etiquette, sit down and say, sit down and say."
The two brothers gave him face and stood up to salute him, Hu Xiu couldn't save the face of others, and hurriedly stood up and gave him a glass of wine in return.
"Although there is no one else here, we two brothers are truly grateful to you. My father and mother went early, leaving a younger sister, my sister is now eleven, and in a few years I will reach the age of marriage, as a brother, I have to prepare some dowry for her, and when I get to my mother's house, I will not be looked down upon and bullied......"
Eleven years old, to be married... In ancient times, the idea of early marriage was not very good.
"You guys, I understand, sit down, keep drinking, and the hot food will come up in no time."
looked at the two brothers, who still didn't necessarily sit down, so he greeted him again.
Xiao Er's movements were very fast, and the dishes came up one by one, including the chicken legs that Shi Da had in mind. Listening to a little song in my ears, holding good wine in my hand, and a table of good dishes, this little day is so unhappy.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank a little too much, although the degree was not high, but it was really as Xiao Er said, the stamina was very great, Hu Xiu's face was flushed, and the faint sense of qi in his heart slightly suppressed the strength of the wine.
"Now that I've eaten almost, let's move on to what happened just now."
Although he was a little dizzy, this did not affect the rapid operation of Hu Xiu's brain.
"Before the unitary time, did any guests come to Duanfu?"
"Hmm... Lord Hu, the matter was in a hurry, and there were some details, so I didn't have time to investigate and ask. ”
"This case is very interesting, Yamen, I don't mind if one more person comes over and handles the case together." Of course, the final merit belongs to your yamen. ”
It turned out that Hu Xiu was thinking about intercepting this case as well, but thinking about it again, he now has intercepted a big case from the yamen.
If you get another case, not only is the time tight, it may be too late, but it will also make others gossip, saying that he is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.
"Then where did this Lu Wei kill someone, where did the person flee?"
"This Lu Wei is strong in martial arts, no one in the yard can stop him, and the incident happened suddenly, and in an instant, he ran away."
"Fifth Order? Is it a master? ”
"Master Hu, why doesn't this count? That Duan Han is also a fifth-order master, you are gifted, and if you are not yet sixteen, you are already a fifth-order. But if an ordinary person practices martial arts, his talent is a little worse, even if he obtains good exercises, it is impossible to break through the fifth order in his life. ”
"Hard?"
Among Hu Xiu's remaining useful memories, there is a memory of practicing. The martial arts training in this world is not about refining muscles and meat, but about taking the dantian as the center, carrying the qi and blood of the whole body and turning it into a cycle.
And this Linglong Pavilion exercises, it is a little peculiar, it is centered on the heart, gushing out of the heart, circulating the whole body, and now Hu Xiu has passed the three tricks, even if he does not deliberately run the exercises, the qi and blood all over the body will run naturally.
"Naturally, it's difficult, of course, for Childe, it should be very simple."
If you have it, you have to get it, and thousands of sycophants are the first.
"You cowhide blowing, the sky is falling."
……
The night was getting deeper, everyone was full of wine and food, and the two brothers of the Shi family walked to Hu Xiu's mansion with Hu Xiu.
This is also to blame Hu Xiu for being greedy, this body is less than sixteen, before this, it can be said that he is not a drop of alcohol, he still wants to drink, but his body can't stand it, so he gets drunk and falls to the dinner.
"Come ~ drink... Keep drinking..."
In a daze, this Hu Xiu was about to fall asleep, and he was still thinking about drinking.
"Master Hu, you're drunk, don't drink anymore."
After that, the little guy also stepped forward, took it, and held the wine jar in Hu Xiu's arms.
The little guy was a little distressed, and spent four taels of silver to buy two jars of wine, and after drinking one meal, there was only half a jar left, that is to say, this meal, just drinking wine drank three taels of silver, which is a waste of money.
"Little Fanzi...... Give me back the wine... If you don't drink wine, what is the use of holding on to the jar of wine? ”
With Hu Xiu's fifth-order strength, he was stunned, this wine was actually snatched by an ordinary person.
Hu Wang's Mansion, not far from Wangyue Tower, didn't go far, and arrived at the door of the mansion.
The guard at the door, seeing that it was his own young master, was actually carried back, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
"Master Hu is fine, it's just that he's drunk and drunk."
Shi Dajin hurriedly explained to the guards.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk..."
Hu Xiu, who was carried over this way, still has some consciousness.
"So that's the case, then thank the two poor masters and send the people back in person."
"Bad master? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”
Shi Dajin understood for a while, and when the guard saw that the two of them were wearing official clothes, and came back with Hu Xiu together, he thought that they were officials in the yamen.
The two brothers of the Shi family, when they saw that someone had sent it, they also turned back.
Two guards, one of them held Hu Xiu, except for one who ran into the mansion, and soon came back with two subordinates.
As for why he didn't let Xiao Fan Xiaowu carry it back, looking at his thin arms and legs, I was afraid that he would not be able to walk half of the way to Hu Xiu's courtyard with Hu Xiu on his back.
The two subordinates were quick with their hands and feet, holding Hu Xiu, and they were quickly sent to the place.
~
In Hu Xiu's courtyard, in the master bedroom, Hu Xiu was lying flat on the bed, his stepmother was wiping his forehead with a towel, and a maid was standing next to her.
Camellia and the little maid stood not far away and knelt, this is etiquette, in the mansion, if the subordinate is in the same room with the master, the master does not cry, so he can only kneel.
This small movement shocked King Hu's mansion, Lord Hu's mother, Shi Yu.
When she heard that Hu Xiu was drunk and came back, she called her personal maid, made a basin of hot water, wiped Hu Xiu's face in person, and tried the temperature of his forehead again, it was not hot, and there was no fever, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Camellia, you serve Hu Xiu well, don't have a bad pool, you can come to our prince's mansion to serve the young master, count it as your blessing. But don't think about it, you are just a Qinglou Qingjuan, and if the young master will love you in the future, he will only give you a concubine at most. ”
"Master, the slave doesn't have any other thoughts, and there will be no thoughts that shouldn't be in the future, I just want to serve the young master well. Even if the young master doesn't even give the concubine to the slave, it is also his duty, and if he gives it, it is the blessing of the slave and maid. ”
When Camellia heard her mother speak, her whole head fell to the ground, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Hmph~ I hope you can do what you say."
With that, Shi Yu took her maid and left.
