Chapter 41: Burnt out

"Boom!" In the study room of Liufu, the finest rosewood carved vine-like four-legged bookcase was lying on the ground in pieces. Liu Yang trembled and fell to the ground, not daring to look up at the person standing in front of him.

Liu Zhengqian was dressed in a pale green suit, the green tendons on his bronze skin were bursting up, he grabbed Liu Yang's collar and pulled him up from the ground, saliva sprayed on Liu Yang's face because of his angry roar, "Who! Who is the one who spread the story of that day!"

Early this morning, after Liu Yang went outside to find the fifth Qi to ask about the progress of the search for someone, he returned home and told Liu Zhengqian about the rumors in the imperial capital. Liu Zhengqian was furious after hearing this, but the rumors had already spread, and several nobles had seen the events of that day in the Zanggui Building, so no one doubted the authenticity of the rumors at all, even if he wanted to suppress the rumors, it would be useless. Liufu has only slowly faded out of the turmoil of Liu Zhilan's return to the mansion a month ago, and now there are rumors of the Zangguilou, and Liufu has suddenly become the object of ridicule in the imperial capital, how can this not make Liu Zhengqian angry.

"Old old old man, the little one sent someone to inquire, and the people outside said that this matter came from the Xinyu Palace. Liu Yang's eyes were closed tightly by the spittle, and her whole body trembled like chaff.

"Xinjiao Wangfu?" Liu Zhengqian thought of something, he threw Liu Yang to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Lai!" In the whole imperial capital, who doesn't know the stinky mouth of Yuan Lai, the concubine of Xinjiao Wangfu!

"How did Yuan Lai know?" asked Liu Zhengqian angrily.

Liu Yang's eyes were fluttering, and there were beads of sweat the size of beans dripping on his forehead, he didn't dare to raise his sleeves to wipe his sweat, but he just knelt on the ground and replied in a trembling voice: "The small, the small one has inquired about the people of the Xinji Palace, but the people of the Xinji Palace's mouth is too strict, and the small one can't ask even if he makes the silver." ”

"Bang! bang!" Hearing this, Liu Zhengqian turned around and kicked the crack on the table on the ground, and the crack flew up and hit the bookshelf, and the broken books fell to the ground one after another.

Peeking at the mess in front of him, Liu Yang's body trembled even more. Just when he felt that he was covered in shadows above him, a cry saved him in time.

Outside the study room of "Master ——!", Qiqin and Zhencha broke in crying, and they came with a calm face.

"What are you doing here, Lan'er has an accident again?" Liu Zhengqian raised his forehead and shouted angrily at the three people who broke in, the last thing he wanted to see and hear now was the people and things related to Liu Zhilan. If it weren't for the fact that she had returned to the house that day in full view of everyone, he would have driven her back to the mountains to continue to stay with Mrs. Chou!

Thinking of Mrs. Wu, Liu Zhengqian only felt that his head hurt a little more. There are too many things going on in the past two days, even if you lead the troops to fight, you are not so anxious!

"Master, please be the master for our girl!" "Qiqin and Zhencha knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the book also kowtowed with them, "Yesterday, the slave and maid went to the courtyard of the Zhuxi Pavilion with the book to look for the girl's clothes and bedding, and how Cheng thought that he actually found the body of the assassin who assassinated the girl!"

"What!" Liu Zhengqian was surprised, and only remembered that night he only remembered to find someone to treat Liu Zhilan's injuries, and completely forgot to send someone to arrest the assassin, "Quick!

"Yes!" Qi Qinzhencha got up and led Liu Zhengqian in front, and Bishu followed behind them. As for Liu Yang, he slowed down on the ground for a while before he came back to his senses in this sudden change, and then stumbled after him while raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat.

"What's going on?" Outside the study, the stars who had been ordered by Liu Hanxue stood at the door brightly, but they were completely ignored by the few people who were in a hurry to go out. She looked suspiciously in the direction where the others had left, thought in her heart, and then raised her feet and quietly chased after her.

The stars didn't notice that her actions were watched by an attendant hiding under a tree in front of the study. The attendant came out from behind the tree and immediately followed her skillfully keeping his distance.

Liu Zhengqian and his entourage walked eagerly, and soon arrived at Zhuxi Pavilion.

In front of the wreckage of the bamboo building, the four of them knelt on the ground, while Liu Zhengqian stood in front of the corpse between the wreckage with a blue face and a hand covering his mouth and nose. This is a corpse with maggots and softness due to the change of face due to corpse spots and swelling, Liu Zhengqian stared at the clothes of the Liufu Mansion guard on the corpse, and couldn't believe that the person lying on the ground was the one who assassinated Liu Zhilan.

Seeing that Liu Zhengqian was motionless and silent, Qi Qin, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at Yu Shu who was kneeling beside him. When Ya Shu saw it, he got up and walked to Liu Zhengqian's side with the bloodstained sword not far from the corpse and knelt down on his knees, "Master, look at this sword." ”

Liu Zhengqian stared at the sword. The style of that sword is indeed the sword of Liufu Fuwei, no matter how much he doesn't believe it, the evidence is here, even if he doesn't believe it, he can only believe it.

Oh my God! The stars hid in the bamboo forest behind them, and when they saw everything in front of them, she exclaimed in her heart. I wanted to listen to it again, but I heard Liu Zhengqian shouting, "Liu Yang! Go find your father to check if there are any palace guards missing in the past two days!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang was afraid of the disgusting corpse, and secretly glad that he didn't need to smell the corpse anymore, and ran out as if he had oiled the soles of his feet.

Seeing Liu Yang coming, the stars were about to run in a panic, but she couldn't hide the bamboo forest full of bamboo, so she had to run to the bamboo forest and go out a long way.

The attendants who have been following the stars also draw scoops on the gourd to avoid the willow poplars. Seeing that the stars were gone, he turned his head to look at Liu Zhengqian and the others in front of the ruined building, and after thinking for a moment, he turned his head to follow the stars.

"You're watching here. Liu Zhengqian pointed to the book, and then turned his head to Qiqin and Zhencha and ordered: "You two, go to the guard to find the palace guard to carry the corpse to the front of the ancestral hall." ”

Hearing that the body was going to be moved to the ancestral hall, Qi Qinzhen was stunned, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment before they got up and ran out, "Yes!"

Liu Zhilan was assassinated as the daughter of the Liu family, and the murderer was from the Liu Mansion, so she had to go to the ancestral hall of the Liu family to decide.

Liu Zhengqian was about to leave the Bamboo Pavilion, and before leaving, he inadvertently glanced at the book that was still kneeling on the ground. He stopped, and his eagle eyes carefully looked at the tall and muscular Shushu, "What's your name?"

"Back to the master, little book. He replied.

"You are also the servant that Lan'er brought back this time?" Liu Zhengqian inquired, "What do you usually do by Lan'er's side?"

"Back to the master, the little one is doing chores next to the girl. "The book is slightly cold in his heart, and his face is not showing anything.

"You are so powerful, just doing odd jobs?" Liu Zhengqian obviously didn't believe it.

"Back to the master, I am the only one to serve the girl except for the Qinzhen tea, and those chores should be done as a small one. "Yu Shu thought back to before coming to the imperial capital. He was of great physique, and for fear of arousing suspicion that he should not have come on this trip, but for some reason, Liu Zhilan wanted to take him, so he had to come.

"Then are you also responsible for guarding Lan'er on weekdays?" asked Liu Zhengqian.

Bishu shook his head, "The little ones are stupid, the girls teach the little ones the martial arts, and the little ones really can't learn them." In the past, Mrs. Zhuwu was fine, but then Mrs. Zhuwu disappeared, and the girl sought revenge for the revenge family, and she did not dare to go out of the mountain for four years. This time I went back to the house and got a recall letter, and the girl couldn't bear it for a while before she left the mountain. ”

Bishu skillfully changed the topic, and sure enough, when Liu Zhengqian heard that Liu Zhilan returned to the house, he remembered the rumors about the imperial capital again. So his face darkened, and he left angrily without further inquiry.

Seeing Liu Zhengqian leaving, Yu Shu Danfeng looked at the corpse in front of him. He got up and turned his back away from the corpse, and raised his hand to take out a brocade bag from his bosom. He untied the brocade bag and poured it into his hand, and a black pill appeared in the palm of his hand. As he opened his mouth and leaned back, the pill slid smoothly into his abdomen.

He sat down and tried his luck, feeling that his five senses were gradually becoming dull, and he was relieved to feel that his body was completely empty. This is the pill that Liu Zhilan gave him the night before coming to the imperial capital, which can make his five senses dull and his skills closed like an ordinary person, so as not to let the people of Liu Mansion doubt him and test him. When the people of Liufu no longer doubt him, Liu Zhilan will give him the antidote.

There was no movement in the Zhuxi Pavilion here, and Liu Yang, who was the first to go out, rushed to the account room of Liufu to find his father, Liu Song, the old housekeeper of Liufu.

"Dad!" Liu Yang pushed the door in, almost startling Liu Song.

"What's the matter, what are you doing in such a hurry!" Liu Song was full of gorgeous hair, he covered his heart, and his intuition was that sooner or later he would be scared to death by his son!

Liu Yang is young, only a young man in his twenties, but Liu Song is in his last years, old and old, and others think they are grandchildren. It's not that Liu Song's children are unlucky enough to get a son when they get old, but he is too loyal to the Liu family, and when he was young, he only thought about helping the former head of the Liu family take care of the Liu family, and he didn't think about marrying a wife and having children at all. It wasn't until he was about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven that the former head of Liufu couldn't bear Liu Song's lack of queens for a hundred years, so he forced him to marry a girl in the house who he felt he could and became a relative, and then he had Liu Yang's son.

"Dad, is there a record of the disappearance of the palace guards in the past two days?" asked Liu Yang gasped.

"It seems like there was one three days ago, I'll take a look. Liu Song leaned on crutches to the counter to find the servant's booklet and flipped through it, his thin and withered fingers stopped on one of the pages, "Found it, you come and see." ”

Liu Yang eagerly went to Liu Song's side and looked at the booklet, and was about to leave but was dragged by Liu Song, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Liu Song tugged on Liu Yang's sleeve, and gently pumped his cane to Liu Yang's leg, "Stinky boy, run so fast." Let's tell your old man first, what are you looking for this guard?"

"Alas!" Liu Yang sighed heavily, "It's not that this guy has caused a big deal, the master is in a hurry!"

"What's the big deal, why don't I know?" Liu Song saw that Liu Yang didn't run away, so he let go of him.

"Oh, Dad, how can I have time to chat with you here!" Liu Yang was anxious, and squatted on the ground as he spoke, "Dad, I'll carry you to take a look, and you'll know what's going on!"

"Good. Seeing that Liu Yang was as anxious as burning his buttocks, Liu Song didn't ask, and lay on Liu Yang with a cane in his hand, "Quick, don't let the young master wait." "In the Liu Mansion, Liu Song has the highest qualifications, and he grew up watching Liu Zhengqian since he was a child, so only Liu Song in the Liu Mansion can call Liu Zhengqian a young master, which is naturally licensed by Liu Zhengqian.

"Daddy, you hold it tight. As soon as Liu Song put on his back, Liu Yang carried him firmly and left the account room.
