"Madam, the matter of the second girl's serious injury, there is a commotion inside and outside the house, do you want the slaves and maids to go out and have a look?" In Qingfeng Garden, Ming Yuelan had just finished lunch and was taking a walk on the cobblestone road in the garden to eat. Behind her was the Sparrow's Tongue Yunmist, and when she saw the Sparrow's Tongue talking, the Cloud Mist also wanted to say something, but she thought about it carefully, and finally didn't say it.

"No matter how big this matter is, it has nothing to do with our Qingfeng Yuan. "Ming Yue Lan wore a lilac garment, combed a fragrant bun near Chaoyun, and a silver lily Huasheng was prefixed on her forehead. She was already beautiful and well-maintained, even if she was dressed up so simply, she looked forward to her posture from a distance, and she was elegant and gentle. "If you want to see the excitement, go and watch it, beware of getting into a commotion. ”

Madame laughed. "Without Madame, how dare the slave and maid go out and make trouble for Madame." ”

"You're sensible. Ming Yuelan smelled the residual fragrance of osmanthus on both sides of the road as she walked. At this time, the fragrance of osmanthus is just right, refreshing and not too nasilous.

"It's just madam, if there is such a big event in Liufu, I'm afraid it will be discussed by people for a long time. Finchtongue said worriedly: "And during this time, the Ming Mansion has been sending letters to ask about the Liufu Mansion, how does the lady plan to go back?"

At the mention of the Ming Mansion, a fierce color flashed in Ming Yuelan's originally peaceful apricot eyes. Her smile faded, and her gentle voice sounded stiff and dull, "Good and decent, what do you do with them!"

Ming Zhongsheng, the head of the Ming family, served as the secretary of the Tianqin Military Department, and had three sons and one daughter, of which Ming Yuelan was the eldest daughter. Before entering the Liufu, Mingyue Lanqin was proficient in calligraphy and painting, and her temperament was quiet and virtuous, and she was a very prestigious talented woman in the imperial capital;

While enjoying the power and convenience brought by her entry into the Liufu, on the other hand, she was ashamed of her in the open, and the family in the Ming Mansion was really hypocritical!

Seeing that he had accidentally provoked Ming Yuelan to be angry for a while, Finch's tongue didn't dare to speak, but he glanced at Yunmist. Seeing this, Yunwu was worried, but he couldn't bear to let his master get angry, so he stepped forward to get closer to Ming Yuelan and persuaded her: "Madam, don't be angry, it's not good if you're angry." ”

Knowing that he was stupid, Yunwu didn't dare to say anything else, but even so, he was still found fault by Ming Yuelan, who was holding her breath, "You, you, you've been with me for so long, and you won't even say comforting words! Thanks to me, your master is me, if someone else else drove you out early!"

Listening to Ming Yuelan's reprimand, Yunwu habitually knelt on the cobblestone road. No matter how smooth the stone surface was, her knees hurt, and Yunwu felt pain in her heart, but she still obediently let Ming Yuelan breathe on her.

The finch tongue on the side watched Ming Yuelan get angry at the clouds, knowing that she was sorry for the clouds. But she is not like this, and she may be the one who is kneeling on the ground and being trained at this moment. She carefully observed Ming Yuelan's expression, and just when she felt that Ming Yuelan was almost angry, and was about to say something to persuade Ming Yuelan to dissipate her anger, a noise suddenly appeared behind them. Turning around, I saw several guards rushing to them, and the leader of them said, "Little lady, offended." Then he made a gesture, and the guards behind him rushed forward and restrained them.

"Hey, what are you doing! presumptuous!" Ming Yuelan was angry and frightened again, struggling to get rid of the shackles of the two guards behind her, but she couldn't do it.

"As a guard of Liufu, you dare to do it to your master like this, are you tired of it!" "Bird's tongue has always grabbed his own palace guard and kicked and beaten, "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, you are catching Ming Xiaoniang, aren't you afraid that the master will cut off your dog's head!"

"Don't arrest our little lady, don't touch her!" Yunwu was stronger, she violently pushed away the guards who were grabbing Ming Yuelan, and grabbed Ming Yuelan's hand and was about to escape, but she was surrounded by four government guards. She was a servant girl, and she was able to push away the guards because the guards didn't notice it for a while, and after a while, even she was pressed to the ground by the guards with their backhands on their shoulders.

"Little lady, I have no intention of offending, and please don't hold a grudge against the little ones. When the scene stabilized, the head of the palace guard walked in front of Ming Yuelan and arched his hand.

Ming Yuelan was also detained at this moment, she raised her head and glared at the person standing in front of her, gritted her teeth and said, "You came to my Qingfeng Garden to make me suffer this great humiliation, aren't you afraid that I will let the master drive you out in the future?"

"To tell you the truth, it was the master who ordered us to come today. Nafu Wei raised his hand and ordered: "Take it away." ”

The rest of the guards got the order and arrested the three people who were still struggling in vain.

"Since the lord ordered, I will just go with you. Let go of me, I'll go on my own!" Ming Yuelan shouted.

"The master said that he would 'escort' you to the ancestral hall, and the little ones didn't dare to disobey the order, and they had to ask the little lady to grieve you for a while. Hearing the leading palace guard say this, Ming Yuelan was shocked and a little puzzled in her heart. What the hell is going on, didn't the old man deal with Liu Zhilan's affairs in the ancestral hall, why did he suddenly find someone to take her in?

"Little lady, what should we do?" Finch's tongue was scared, and she was a little trembling when she spoke. Compared to her, Yunwu should be able to calm down, "Sparrow tongue, don't be afraid, we'll know when we arrive in a while, maybe it's a misunderstanding." After speaking, she turned her head to look at Ming Yuelan again, "Little lady, if you get to the ancestral hall in a while, if something happens, the clouds and mist will protect you, don't be afraid." ”

"Hmm. Ming Yuelan nodded nonchalantly, and Yunmist's words made her heart relax a little. What Yunwu said makes some sense, maybe it's really a misunderstanding, after all, Liu Zhilan's assassination can't be with her. It's just that Liu Zhengqian sent someone to get her, which is really weird. That's it, I don't want to. After a while, you will know what is going on when you get to the ancestral hall, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth!

The three of them were escorted by the government guards, and along the way, the subordinates of the Liufu saw it and inevitably got together to discuss. Soon, they broke away from the whispering and walked to the Liufu ancestral hall.

Ming Yuelan stared at the plaque in the ancestral hall from the outside, the first and last time she came to the ancestral hall was when she held a funeral for Liu Zhilan's biological mother, Concubine Xiaoyan, fourteen years ago. At that time, she thought that the second time she came to the ancestral hall would be when she was carried to the main room of the Liufu Mansion, but she didn't expect that this second time she would be escorted in like today.

The guards pushed the three into the ancestral hall. Ming Yuelan glanced at the dozens of guards kneeling outside the room where the ancestral tablets of the Liu family were placed, no matter how much she comforted herself, she was also panicked by this battle at the moment. She looked at the finch-tongue cloud around her, the bird's tongue was already sweating on her forehead with fright, and the cloud mist lowered her head, not daring to look at the guards.

The three of them were escorted past these guards, and Ming Yuelan saw that kneeling in front of the guards was Liu Zhilan's maidservant Qi Qinzhen Tea and Xiao Maid Bishu. She turned her head away from them in disgust, and just happened to see the stretcher covered with a white cloth outside the house.

Looking at the white cloth that roughly outlined the shape of the human body, Ming Yuelan was a little scared and a little puzzled. That is the corpse of the assassin who assassinated Liu Zhilan? It's really useless, instead of killing Liu Zhilan, he was killed.

"Master, second master, the prisoners arrived, and the little ones retreated first. Walking into the house, the leading guard said to Liu Zhengqian and Liu Zhixiao, who were kneeling on the futon. He glanced at the other guards, and when the guards let go, the three of them retreated outside the house with the leader and knelt with the other guards.

Prisoner? Ming Yuelan kneaded the arm that had just been scratched, and before she could react to what Nafu Wei said, she was frightened by an angry shout, and her whole body couldn't help but stumble backwards, "Slut!

"Old, old man......" Behind him, the also frightened sparrow's tongue cloud and mist strongly supported Ming Yuelan. Ming Yuelan stared at Liu Zhengqian's angry face like a lion with wide eyes wide open, and the next moment the whole person immediately knelt on the ground when she was scolded as usual. She kowtowed heavily, and the edge of Huasheng on her forehead inadvertently made a small cut on her forehead. Ming Yuelan didn't care about the pain, but said in a trembling voice like a rabbit: "Please, please make it clear." Concubine, concubine body really doesn't know what mistake she made?"

"Heh!" Liu Zhengqian was already so angry at this time that he gritted his teeth and couldn't speak. Liu Zhixiao sneered and got up, her black eyes were very cold, and her eyes were eager to slash at Ming Yuelan's body one after another.

Liu Zhixiao slowly walked in front of Ming Yuelan step by step. Ming Yuelan straightened up and glared at him in horror. Although Liu Zhixiao did not show Liu Zhengqian's earth-shaking anger, the eyes that were cold to the bottom of people's hearts ...... Ming Yuelan couldn't help but step back with her hands on the ground. The ancestral hall has not been cleaned for a long time, and when she rubs it like this, the thick dust on the ground becomes a small piece thinner.

Ming Yuelan has always been afraid of this uncle, the kind of fear that arises spontaneously from the bottom of her heart. I don't know why, since she came to Liufu, Liu Zhixiao, the uncle, has never given her a good face for a day, and she is unmoved by everything she can to please her. In the end, she thought that maybe this uncle didn't like to be close to people and was withdrawn, so she was relieved. But then she didn't know when it started, she always felt that Liu Zhixiao had a faint chill in her eyes when she looked at her, and then she didn't dare to approach him again. Later, Liu Zhixiao lived in a separate room, and at that time she was happy that she would never have to see this terrible uncle again.

Now this once terrifying uncle is standing in front of him, Ming Yuelan is leaning back in the arms of the bird's tongue and clouds, curling up with her head high, and two tears of ice fall from her apricot eyes engraved with Liu Zhixiao's cold and solemn face. In the ink-stained black eyes staring at her, it was clear that there was a strong danger and undisguised killing intent!

Liu Zhixiao's smile was wrapped in **naked contempt. He raised his hand, and when Ming Yuelan saw it, she couldn't help but want to escape. Liu Zhixiao gave a fluttering look to the bird's tongue and clouds, and the two of them who were shocked by Liu Zhixiao's anger were like ghosts, and their upper limbs stiffly grabbed Ming Yuelan's body to prevent her from getting up.

"Let go, let go of ......" Ming Yuelan panicked and wanted to get rid of the shackles of the people behind her, completely forgetting that she was brought to the ancestral hall to ask for her guilt. Even if she broke free, how could the dozens of guards outside the house let her escape.

"Don't you know where the sin is, then what are you afraid of?" Liu Zhixiao's raised hand loosened, and a snow-white letter slowly fell in front of the three masters and servants of Ming Yuelan. At the moment when the envelope hit the ground and raised a little dust, Liu Zhixiao also recalled the scene in the ancestral hall before Ming Yuelan came.

About a meal before the time -

"My lord, my second master, no suspicious people have been found in the imperial capital, and no corpse has been found. In the ancestral hall, a group of guards knelt outside the house, and the leader reported in the house.

"It seems that the Assassins have already run away, or that the Assassins came alone? Liu Zhengqian's heart was full of joy. Daniel Zhang was originally a member of his Liu Mansion, and there was no proof of his death, and no matter how much Liu Zhixiao investigated, he could not find out anything.

"Big brother, don't worry. Liu Zhixiao said lightly: "There is another possibility that I haven't checked it." ”

"What else does the second brother want to investigate?" Liu Zhengqian was impatient. Liu Zhixiao has a second room, why are there so many things!

Liu Zhixiao said unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, there should be a roster of servants in the Liufu account room that records the guards of the Liufu Mansion. ”

At the mention of the servant booklet, Liu Zhengqian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Why, do you suspect that this assassin is from the Liu Mansion? If it is true, the guards in the Liu Mansion are all under my control, then I will definitely be able to recognize the corpse when I see it!"

"The eldest brother has a lot of affairs on weekdays, and he has been worried about the injury of his second niece in the past two days, and there are many guards in Liufu, so it is possible that the eldest brother forgot about it for a while. Liu Zhixiao knelt on the futon and asked Liu Song: "Uncle Song, what do you say?"

Liu Song frowned. Things have developed like this, it doesn't matter what the truth is, as long as people outside know that the Liu family attaches importance to Liu Zhilan, it is enough, but looking at Liu Zhixiao's appearance, he doesn't plan to give up. That's it, he wants the truth, then he just gives him an answer.

Liu Song thought for a while, looked at Liu Yang and said, "Liu Yang, you go to the account room to get the servant's booklet." "Liu Zhilan was assassinated by his own guards, and it is impossible for anyone to know, Liu Yang, this kid is very good, he must know what to do.

"Yes. Liu Yang knew what was at stake, and thought about how to remove the name of Nafuwei without letting people see the traces.

However, before Liu Yang moved, Liu Zhixiao commanded Liu Tuan in front of Liu Zhengqian and Liu Song: "Liu Tuan, you can go with you." The whole emperor knows about this, and every step must not be sloppy, otherwise the accident in the big house will always affect the second room. "It's a naked threat.

Under the shadowy gaze of Liu Zhengqian and Liu Song, Liu Tuan saluted Liu Zhixiao and went out with Liu Yang, who looked stiff.

Liu Zhengqian stared at Liu Zhixiao's eyes, needless to say, it must have been as if he was going to be eaten alive, and the wrinkles on Liu Song's face also collapsed directly. Liu Zhixiao's words were clearly telling them that if he dared to play tricks, he would poke out the truth of this matter, anyway, no matter how good he was with a second room, it would be impossible for him to have a tragic loss in a big house!
