Chapter 234: First Contact with Sepsis
Qing Xuan came to the piano sadly and gently stroked the strings, "Lord Lu, will you look down on me?"
"Why do you think so?"
The corners of Qing Xuan's mouth smiled miserably, "You shouldn't have expected that the Qing Xuan girl who made the men in half of Tongnan Mansion fascinated turned out to be a crazy woman." ”
"If there is no unbearable past, how can there be a split personality...... I'll keep it a secret for the girl, and I don't blame you. ”
Lu Sheng didn't know how to comfort the woman in front of her, she was like a deer surrounded by a pack of wild wolves in the middle, looking at the greedy and drooling beasts around her in horror and trembling.
When I came back from Qing Xuan, it was already late at night. Lu Sheng quietly returned to the room, washed up casually and fell asleep. Lying on the bed, Lu Sheng's thoughts flowed to Qing Xuan's body.
Lu Sheng is rarely emotional, and Lu Sheng is used to rational analysis of people and things. But for Qing Xuan, Lu Sheng didn't know what to think.
Lu Sheng couldn't do it, but if he didn't get to the bottom of why Qing Xuan had a second personality, Lu Sheng couldn't be sure what connection Qing Xuan had with the hidden network.
And...... In Lu Sheng's opinion, Wu Changsheng's death is very likely to be man-made. But...... Wu Changsheng didn't eat anything after he came back from Cuihualou, he just rode a horse on Mrs. Wu's belly and died suddenly?
Cuihualou is still very suspicious. Lu Sheng learned too few clues to make a relatively reasonable judgment at all. Moreover, what Wu Changsheng did before, in fact, Lu Sheng also knew.
This kind of person definitely deserves to die. If it weren't for Wu Changsheng's involvement in the secret network, Lu Sheng might not have taken him to heart.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lu Sheng quietly left the Sentencing Division without taking anyone, and Gai Ying did not find out when Lu Sheng would come back, let alone when Lu Sheng would go out.
Therefore, during the morning exercise, Gai Ying's eyes kept sweeping back and forth at the door of Lu Sheng's room.
Since joining Xuantian Mansion, Lu Sheng has not assigned a position to Gai Ying. And Gai Ying naturally positioned himself in the position of personal guard.
Gai Ying's idea is very simple, he doesn't have Lu Jian's calm analytical ability, nor does he have Feng Jian's strong ability to do things, and he doesn't know anything about investigating cases.
The only thing that can be done is his own martial arts. Although this martial art is not worth mentioning in Lu Sheng's eyes, he can't let Lu Sheng do everything himself, right? Therefore, Gai Ying thinks that the only value of following Lu Sheng is to be a thug.
However, Lu Sheng didn't come back last night, which made Gai Ying a little panicked. It's not that I'm worried that Lu Sheng will have any accidents, but I'm worried about my qualifications as a personal thug, I'm afraid it's about to be unstable.
"What are you thinking absentmindedly?" Lu Jian shouted as he saw that Gai Ying was no longer in a state.
"Brother Lu, the adults didn't come back overnight......"
"You're back, but you went out early in the morning. Lu Jian said casually.
"Where did you go?" asked Gai Ying hurriedly as he retracted his sword.
"This ...... I don't know! The adults went out alone, and they didn't even tell me. ”
"Brother Lu, isn't it...... Adults don't trust me?" Gai Ying hesitated for a long time, and finally asked hesitantly.
"What do you think? If you don't trust you, you won't be able to enter Xuantian Mansion. The temper of adults is that they do not suspect people, and do not use suspicious people. ”
"However, I've been following adults for half a month...... You have a job to do, Lord Duan has a job to do, Feng Jian has been elusive recently, and I am the only one who is an idler......"
"We have a job because we've been with adults for almost a year, and you're still a newcomer. In the words of adults, newcomers should have a transition period and a period of adaptation. Don't worry, that's how we all came back then. Don't think too much, just follow the arrangement, my lord, he ......"
At this time, Lu Jian's voice suddenly stopped, and at the arch of the front hall, a Xuan Tianwei strode over.
"Team Lu, there was a child outside, saying that he was here to find an adult, and he didn't say anything when he asked him, just said that the adult knew him, and said that you and Gai Ying both knew him. Are you up?"
"My lord has something to go out, I'll take a look!"
Lu Jian and Gai Ying came to the door curiously, and saw a thin child kneeling in front of the door of the Punishment Division from a distance.
"Cheng Xiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Lu Jian......" Cheng Xiang's eyes turned red the moment he saw Lu Jian. He stubbornly bit his lip tightly, but tears couldn't help but drip down.
A strong child will only be strong in front of outsiders.
In front of the people he agrees with and trusts, Cheng Xiang will also peel off his strong coat and reveal his vulnerability.
"Hurry up, what are you doing kneeling here?" Lu Jian hurriedly stepped forward, and suddenly, his eyes shrank suddenly, "Cheng Xiang, why did you bring your brother Bao? He is still so young......
Behind Cheng Xiang's back, he was carrying a baby. The baby doesn't cry or make trouble, so at first Lu Jian thought it was a rucksack.
"Uncle Lu Jian...... I know you're good people...... I think...... I want to hand over Chengyang to you...... I don't want you to be kind to him, but I want you to ...... If you can give him a bite to eat, don't let him starve to death...... Great kindness, unforgettable, I kowtow to you......"
As he spoke, Cheng Xiang kowtowed to Lu Jian again and again.
"What's wrong?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Lu Sheng's figure slowly fell from the sky, "Cheng Xiang, what happened?"
"Division...... Teacher!" Cheng Xiang saw Lu Sheng, and his tears couldn't stop flowing, "Why do you look like this? Something happened at home? Or did Dongcheng Yaxing come to trouble you again?"
Lu Sheng had just gone to activate the secret liaison station, the pioneer support of the Xuantian Mansion had arrived, and Shen Ling would still need a few days. From today on, Lu Sheng has a lot of things that are not easy to investigate openly, and he can let the secret Xuantian Mansion investigate.
This time, the task of training Xuantian Mansion was to investigate what Wu Changsheng had done, what he had eaten, and who he had contact with within the twelve hours before his death.
It is very difficult to investigate these without surveillance, but Lu Sheng feels that what Xuantian Mansion has to do is something difficult.
"Teacher...... My mother is sick...... Not a few days to live. My brother is still young, and I can't support him...... So ......"
"Is your mother sick?What kind of illness?Did you see a doctor?Wasn't she okay two days ago?" Lu Sheng subconsciously realized that this illness was a little strange.
"You don't need to see a doctor, it's sepsis...... It's hopeless......" As he spoke, Cheng Xiang's shoulders trembled violently.
"Sepsis?" Lu Sheng's eyes lit up instantly, "Let's go, go to your house and have a look!"
Guanyin County, a quiet little village on the outskirts.
Lu Sheng and the three of them once again came to the dirt road outside Cheng Xiang's house, and from a distance, there was a luxurious carriage parked outside Cheng Xiang's thatched house. Lu Sheng and the others paused, hesitated for a moment before slowly approaching again.
"Wang, we really don't take advantage of people's danger, I came to persuade you with the heart of a bodhisattva. You are sick now, and this sepsis is a terminal disease! To put it mildly, you are afraid that you will not have a few days to live.
If you want to leave, how will you live with your two children? Although we are engaged in the business of heads, we can still have something to eat with us. Cheng Xiang, this kid is clever and smart, and he has been taken by big families when he was in Yaxing before.
Big families are not those who run the rivers and lakes to beg for food, and they don't buy people to abuse for fun. For those large families, those who have been raised from childhood to adulthood can use it at ease.
Don't you think that this is a violation of the child, maybe it is the child's creation? Think about it, the housekeeper of the Qi family was not bought by the tooth dealer when he was young. How are people doing now? In your village, you don't pay much filial piety to your family, right?
There are many scenery in front of and behind people, although they have been slaves to large families, but not to mention the slaves around the nobles, even a dog is more noble than the poor sour in ten miles and eight towns.
If you follow a big family, you don't have to worry about the marriage of your children in the future...... Listen to my advice and sign it, otherwise both children will starve to death. ”
"Don't talk about it...... cough cough cough ...... I'm an ignorant mother-in-law...... But...... I'm not a kid who doesn't know anything...... cough cough cough ...... You're talking about a lot of ...... But there are really good days...... How many people can there be?
Besides, even if my family is in trouble...... Xiang'er is also a good person, sold him, he has been a slave all his life, even if he has a child in the future, he is also a slave.
cough cough cough ...... The women don't know any big truths...... But the woman was about to go to see his father...... I can't go down and be scolded by his dad that I'm not a thing...... If the child really starved to death...... Big deal, I'm waiting for him below...... cough cough cough ......"
"The people of Dongcheng Yaxing...... It's really timely!" Lu Sheng's cold voice suddenly sounded, and the frightened butler turned his head suddenly.
When he saw that Lu Sheng had already stood at the door at some point, the thin housekeeper turned pale with fright.
"Lord Lu...... Why are you here......"
"If the official doesn't come, I'm afraid you're going to use it, right? The official just doesn't understand...... Why are you so unrelenting about Cheng Xiang?"
The adult laughed...... We're just routine...... Routine Receipt ......"
"Get out! you are the people under my rule, and this official can still restrain one or two, if you are a Jianghu person, this official will kill you with a sword. ”
"Yes...... Be...... The villain retreated, the villain retreated......" The thin housekeeper bowed and bent down in a panic, but when he walked to the door, he found that Lu Sheng was still standing motionless at the door.
The cold sweat of Dou Da couldn't stop dripping, and his body became even more ragged.
When I raised my head, I just saw Lu Sheng's cold eyes.
"Go back and bring a message to Lai Chuntao, just say that the official remembers him, let him be careful......"
"Yes, yes! The villain must have brought ...... Be sure to bring it to ......."
Only then did Lu Sheng turn sideways and let the housekeeper leave the thatched house in a panic.
"The women of the people meet the adults...... Thank you, sir...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Wang said as he suddenly coughed violently.
Lu Sheng's brows furrowed, and the blood coughed up from the corners of Wang's mouth was tinged with a faint gold. This is exactly the same as the rumored sepsis.
Hurriedly, Lu Sheng helped Wang to lie down on the bed, and his fingers gently held Wang's pulse.
In an instant, Lu Sheng's face changed greatly, and he stood up with a whoosh.
"How is that possible...... How so?"
