Chapter Forty-Nine: The Overnight Meal Was Vomited
"County Lord, I'm here to reconcile with you, please don't care about the villain, and don't worry about me before." Zheng Xiaoxiao's words were sincere, but the arrogance at the eyebrows and eyes did not hide the slightest.
Lu Mingshuang's expression didn't move, what she was thinking about was Zheng Xiaoxiao, which play was she singing?
"County Lord, why don't you ignore me, I'm here to apologize to you!" Zheng Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed at Lu Mingshuang.
Zheng Xiaoxiao's sudden overture only made Lu Mingshuang feel funny, who is Zheng Xiaoxiao? will take the initiative to show weakness, only quarreled with her the night before, and came to show favor again today, this is not her usual style.
Lu Mingshuang was just a little curious about what Zheng Xiaoxiao would do next, so Zheng Xiaoxiao came to her under the pretext of sisterhood all day long.
Regarding the change of Zheng Xiaoxiao's attitude, the happiest are Zheng Tong and Lu Li.
The two of them were also quite helpless because of Zheng Xiaoxiao and Lu Mingshuang's habit of arguing when they met, and now that Zheng Xiaoxiao is willing to take the initiative to show weakness, they are naturally very happy to see it.
Compared with Zheng Xiaoxiao's courtesy, Lu Mingshuang still does what she wants, neither wants to change the current relationship with her because of her overtures, nor does she deliberately provoke.
Lu Mingshuang just couldn't help but wonder, what happened to Zheng Xiaoxiao's change?
And without the pressure of Wu Huan, the plague was cured, and the people of Youzhou City could be regarded as having lived a few days of peace.
But the good times didn't last long, and when Lu Mingshuang went to Lu Mingting to discuss things on this day, he learned from the little guy that he was out.
When I asked the reason, it turned out that there was a murder in the north of the city, but I don't know what the incident was, so it's hard to make a conclusion.
When Lu Mingshuang returned to his courtyard, he didn't take this little thing to heart, Youzhou City said that it was not big, it was not small, and it was not a big deal if he accidentally committed a murder on weekdays.
It didn't take long for Lu Mingshuang to forget about this matter, and naturally, the next time she went to look for Lu Mingting, she forgot to ask about it.
The real big problem was that after a few days, there were dead people not only in the north of the city, but also in the south and east of the city, in all corners.
"I don't know, I heard that the death was tragic, didn't the fourth king in the stable drive for the prince, he went to see it, ouch, he said that he vomited out the overnight meal after watching it." A woman cleaning the courtyard was discussing with the woman who was trimming the flowers and plants beside her, about the dead people who had been rumored outside for the past few days.
Lu Mingshuang's steps that were about to stop suddenly, isn't it an ordinary murder? How could it be so bad?
The servants who were pruning the flowers and plants didn't notice Lu Mingshuang behind them, and deliberately lowered their voices: "Don't talk about the north of the city, I heard that dead people have also been found in the south and east of the city one after another. It's just as disgusting to die, and I've heard people say that it's a demon asking for their lives. ”
How can there be so many dead people?
Lu Mingshuang's eyes changed, no wonder she went to look for her eldest brother in the past few days, and was always told by the little girl that her eldest brother had something to do, and it turned out that something tricky had happened in Youzhou City.
"You just said that the demons are asking for their lives?" Lu Mingshuang stood up.
"Ah, this, this, why are you here, the slaves just said nonsense, don't take it seriously." The two servants didn't expect Lu Mingshuang to suddenly appear here.
The two of them insisted that what they had just said was nonsense, and they refused to make it clear again.
This is not a problem of the two servant women being thieves, but because Lu Mingshuang originally issued a decree that the people in Youzhou City were not allowed to chew the root of their tongues.
Seeing the sincere and frightened appearance of the two, Lu Mingshuang couldn't say anything from their mouths, only nodded slightly, and strode away, not caring about the two servants chewing the root of their tongues.
When Lu Mingshuang went to see Lu Mingting again, he had just come back from outside, and his face was frosty, which was really rare.
"Big brother, are you okay?" Lu Mingshuang looked at Lu Mingting's body with some concern.
Every winter, Lu Mingting has to wear a thick jacket, and he rarely goes out in winter in the past. But now that there is a murder in Youzhou City, he must do everything himself, and he must not be careless in anything.
When Lu Mingting saw Lu Mingshuang, his face turned slightly pale, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Big brother is fine, why is Shuang'er here." ”
"Big brother, I have something to say to you." Lu Mingshuang straightened his expression and spoke.
Lu Mingting seemed to know what Lu Mingshuang was going to say to him, so he nodded and said, "Come in and talk about it." ”
After speaking, Lu Mingting took the lead and walked towards the room, followed by Lu Mingshuang.
"What Shuang'er wants to ask is about the sudden death of the people in the city?" After Lu Mingting entered the house, he clenched the hot tea handed by his subordinates and said while blowing.
"Yes, big brother, I've heard that it's a demon asking for his life." Lu Mingshuang repeated what the servant woman said in the morning to Lu Mingting.
"Huh." Lu Mingting chuckled, his jade lips slowly exhaled the hot water in the cup, and the smile on his face was not very sincere.
"What kind of evil ghost asks for his life, I'm afraid that someone deliberately framed it." Lu Mingting remembered the appearance of the dead people, and the look in his eyes became flickering.
Who did it do this, and what was his purpose?
"Big brother, what the hell is going on?" Lu Mingshuang was even more puzzled after hearing this, could it be that this was really not just a simple murder.
"Shuang'er, do you know what the identities of most of the dead people in Youzhou City are?" Lu Mingting slowly explained to Lu Mingshuang.
"I don't know." Lu Mingshuang told the truth, she really didn't know these things.
Lu Mingting coldly spit out a sentence: "A beggar that no one wants in the city." ”
"Why kill innocent beggars?" Lu Mingshuang frowned, even more puzzled.
"It's not like he killed, there is no trace of struggle, and the people say that it is an evil ghost asking for his life. After checking and checking, there was no possibility of him killing. Lu Mingting shook his head and told Lu Mingshuang what he knew in the past few days.
Lu Mingshuang was silent, she didn't believe in any evil ghosts asking for her life, she herself was a ghost from the previous life.
Coming out of Lu Mingting's place, it was getting late.
The next morning, before Lu Mingshuang got up, he heard screams in the courtyard.
Yesterday the two gossiping servants died violently.
The people in Youzhou City suddenly became panicked, and now it is not only the little beggar who died inexplicably, but also people from all walks of life.
Then it was rumored that Lu Mingshuang was a lonely star, and the people provoked evil ghosts to ask for their lives because of her.
They asked Youzhou Mu to hand over Lu Mingshuang to the common people.
Lu Mingting didn't expect this matter to come to Lu Mingshuang again, he first ordered someone to check the source of the rumors, but the news he got was said by a blind fortune teller, however, the blind fortune teller died not long after he said it, so the people of Youzhou City believed even more that the blind fortune teller said that Lu Mingshuang was a lonely star.
