Chapter 22 This is the act of a villain
The tea is fragrant, under the water vapor, Lu Cijunxiu's face is looming, delicate as a Danqing holy scroll, and a light ink slowly outlines the outline of the light stroke, at first glance, it really looks like a white-faced scholar.
Lu Ci glanced out the window, his face was calm, his eyes were shining with a chill, he turned around to face Mu Chengwan, and the chill in his eyes dissipated a lot.
After a pause, he said: "General Suo Shen guarded the frontier under the command of General Qiu Luan, although he has not achieved great success for many years; But there is nothing wrong with it. Now that he has suffered misfortune, although Xihe did not witness the situation at that time, he also knew some general information from the boatmen. ”
Mu Chengwan lifted the lid of the tea, gently lifted the foam, and watched the tea needles rise and fall in the rising heat, but he did not delay, and replied: "The other party's methods are ruthless, not like those rough men in Mongolia who only know how to draw bows and shoot eagles on weekdays. He frowned and stopped talking.
Mu Yue and Xian'an squatted out of the window cautiously, and heard as early as the six doors: Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lu Ci, his methods are violent, fierce and vicious, and his status in the edict is not inferior to Xu Xianchun.
(There is an unwritten rule in the Imperial Prison that if the person being tried does not confess or confess, the official in charge of the trial will be punished with ten strokes of the cane.) Therefore, when the judge is in the trial, he does everything he can. The general duration of the trial is two days. Within two days, if the person on trial did not pay enough gold or silver, he was sentenced to full prison sentence. In the process of torture, all the five poisons were inflicted, and the flesh and blood of the tortured people festered, and the sound of shouting and shouting was boiling to the sky. They were in unbearable pain, and they begged for death but could not. Its annihilation of human nature can be described as the pinnacle! )
Xian An listened to the silence inside for a while, and was just about to look inside, Mu Yue hurriedly reached out and pressed her, the two of them were originally eavesdropping on the corner of the wall, and it was not a fair and honest thing, if it was detected again, it would be a disaster.
After listening to Mu Chengwan's words, Lu Ci did not say a word.
Stood up and walked straight to the two red camphor boxes, looked at the copper lock on the box, and punched it coldly, with two loud bangs, and then the copper lock was broken and fell to the ground.
Xian'an was dumbfounded, she had also dealt with Jinyi Wei slightly on weekdays, and there were many people who could play prestige, but there were only a handful of people with real skills, not to mention skills like Lu Ci.
His father grew up with the saint when he was a child, had a close relationship, and was the supreme commander of the Jinyi Guard. As the son of Lu Bing, he lives in a wealthy family, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he can honestly practice real kung fu, which is really rare.
Cui Xian'an exclaimed: "This skill is going to the night market to do chores, and he can earn a lot of silver in one night!" What a chest crushes a boulder, splitting bricks with bare hands......" a chuckle came out.
Mu Yue hurriedly gestured to silence her, put her ear under the window panel, and then listened to the movement inside.
Stretched out his hand and took out a scroll of calligraphy and painting from the box, shook it open easily, his eyes drooped, Lu Ci's pupils tightened, and he walked in front of Mu Chengwan with the scroll.
Although only half of the scroll is exhibited, there is no failure in the painting, the distant mountains and near the water, the mountain villages and wild cities, the fishing boats, the bridges and waterwheels, and even the birds flying in the sky, as small as a small point, all with meticulous care, transported with meticulousness.
This is ...... The true handiwork of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains? Mu Cheng Wanran said.
Lu Ci nodded: "As a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, one of the treasures of the imperial court to Xiangxi at the beginning of the year, it is said that the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang fell in love with this picture. "For the objects of the box, Lu Ci is like a treasure.
Bronze gold filigree to Lang treasure flower bonsai, glazed lotus tray, blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern jade, dot emerald gold dragon ...... Nine times out of ten, the items in this box are from the Ouchi Palace. Lu Ci said coldly: "The predecessors were also Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, so they naturally understand that the most taboo thing in the saints today is that the border generals collude with foreign clans!" ”
Daddy used to be a brocade guard? Mu Yue thought that he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he hurriedly dragged Xian'an and ran.
Xian An was listening energetically, but he was dragged away by Mu Yue, and he felt pity in his heart, and pouted.
Mu Chengwan used to be a matter of Jinyiwei, and even Mu Yue just knew that Xian'an was secretly paying at this time, and the master's previous official position was not high? Going out on an errand must be very majestic, according to Mu Yue's appearance, it is not difficult to see that the master was also handsome when he was young, presumably at that time, there must have been many girls who secretly admired the master......
Lu Ci put the scroll back in the camphor wood box, turned around, and said politely: "I don't know why the two disciples are hiding under my window and eavesdropping?" Xihe acted openly and fairly, and there was nothing unspeakable. I'm just worried that my seniors have misunderstood me, so I have a grudge? ”
Hearing this, Mu Cheng was stunned, then understood, and hurriedly said to Lu: "No, no, absolutely not, adults must not misunderstand, dogs and apprentices are stubborn and do not understand the rules, and they dare to offend adults, it is my responsibility, I will definitely let them make amends to you, adults." ”
The seniors are serious. Lu Cifeng said lightly: "Xihe is young, if there is anything inappropriate in this trip to Gusu, please also ask the seniors to speak up." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Mu Cheng said busily.
Since it was a misunderstanding, then the seniors should go back and rest, and they will be able to arrive at the Gusu Guan Ferry at noon tomorrow, and they will have to bother the seniors during this time. Under the eyes of Jun Meixing, Lu Ci's eyes were as black as thick ink that could not be dissolved.
Mu Chengwan nodded in agreement, then walked out, limping back to the cabin, the smell of ten thousand ants gnawing faintly from the knee of his right leg, he was used to this kind of pain.
In his heart, he was thinking about Lu Ci's words, and he was worried about the two apprentices.
When Jin Yiwei acts and handles cases, it is common to ambush and snoop, but if others use it on Jin Yiwei, it is tantamount to committing a big taboo. With Lu Ci's official rank, it was easy to clean up those two little rabbit cubs, but he told Mu Chengwan that this was already a face-saving experience.
Now the top priority is to let Lu Ci dispel this breath, otherwise Mu Yue and Xian'an will suffer a big loss under his hands sooner or later.
Sighing lightly, I saw that the two apprentices were walking leisurely, Xian An walked in front, still holding a small bag of osmanthus honey in his hand, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, even if he didn't smile, he smiled with three points, and Mu Yue followed behind her.
Shaking his head secretly, Mu Chengwan straightened his face, and deliberately reprimanded them harshly: "Now that you two have stiff wings, you can't even listen to the words of the teacher, and you dare to run to eavesdrop on Lu Qianhu's corner, since you two have such an idea, then you don't have to follow me from now on." ”
"Master, envy knows ...... wrong." Cui Xian'an has always practiced human affection and took the lead in begging for mercy.
"Daddy, the boy knows it's wrong."
As soon as Mu Chengwan said this, the two of them could not stand it now, it was Mu Yue's father, and his blood was thicker than water. Master is like a father, and it was also Mu Chengwan who brought Xian'an back to the six doors and gave her a place as warm as home.
At this time, it was already sunset and dusk, and the standing boat was driving along the river on the water, Xian'an and Mu Yue had their backs straight, and they both knelt outside the door of Mu Chengwan's cabin, drooping their heads to reflect.
The boatmen who came and went at first hesitated slightly, and looked at the two of them in amazement, because of the heavy work, the two of them did not block the way of the aisle, and after coming and going a few times, they also turned a blind eye.
Xian'an gritted his teeth angrily at this time, his words were not spoken, and his voice was extremely low: "This is a villain's behavior, Jinyiwei is really despicable as always." ”
Mu Yue was very content, and whispered: "Lord Lu is a five-grade Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and our six doors, in the eyes of their Jinyi Wei, that is a lowly official with no rank." ”
Looking at Xian'an's appearance, for fear that she would blow up her hair, he hurriedly spoke out to enlighten her: "Master, fortunately, the boat is paved with wooden planks, if you are kneeling on the stone road, it will hurt!" ”
Xian'an's body weakened, moved his lower knees, put his fists on the ground, and said listlessly: "My legs have already been numb, and I don't care what I kneel now, but this temple is empty, and I am hungry." ”
Listening to the movement inside the door, Mu Yue gestured to silence him, and the next moment Mu Chengwan pushed open the door, dragged his legs and limped out, and saw Mu Yue and Xian An kneeling on the cold plank, just treating each other coldly.
Seeing that Mu Chengwan got on the deck, his back gradually faded away, Xian'an sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Master is really angry this time." Her hungry stomach growled, and she pulled the corner of Mu Yue's clothes, "The master is hungry......"
Obviously, he was dragged by Xian'an to listen to the corner, but now that they are punished together, Mu Yue has no trace of it, and he wants to blame Xian'an. Although they have only been together for half a year, they also regard this girl as their own sister in their hearts, eating delicious food together, and carrying punishment together.
