Lu E didn't answer Xiao Ning's question, because her brain was still dull and she didn't know what was going on. In her confusion, she saw a man walking towards her from behind the crowd, no, he had been standing there, but she was so focused on Xiao Ning, so she didn't notice him.

The other sword at the man's waist was scorched by the sunlight, stinging her eyes. She then covered her eyes with her hands and unconsciously said, "Are you?" ”

"Tell me, why kill people?" The man stood in front of her with his arms folded over his chest and his legs spread apart, like a towering mountain.

Lu E was suddenly terrified, and a fine bead of sweat condensed on her forehead. It turned out that she had painstakingly calculated her life, and to this day, she was calculated by someone......

"I ......" she craned her neck to distinguish a few words for herself, but was interrupted by a sneer from the man.

"Why don't I help you say it, you and Yang Xiong have a private relationship, and they gave birth to a son for him, but he is unwilling to welcome you into the door, and he has never thought of letting your child inherit the Yang family's family business. So you resented it, so you simply didn't do anything, and killed Yang Xiong's three sons-in-law one after another, and one of them was your own cousin. ”

Speaking of this, the man's eyebrows were tightly locked, and the center of his eyebrows seemed to be tied in a dead knot, "Lu E, you don't hesitate to kill three people in a row for the sake of money, such a vicious mind is really rare in the world, and it is really not enough to solve the hatred in people's hearts." ”

Lu E was so frightened by these words that she collapsed to the ground again, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, so she could only look at Yang Xiong, hoping that he could read a trace of old feelings and defend herself a few words.

But the hatred in Yang Xiong's eyes made her chest cold, she knew that the little affection between her and him had long since disappeared, just as the man said, he hated himself, and he wanted to cut himself with a thousand knives.

"Someone, bring this poisonous woman to the government office and arraign her tomorrow."

The man dropped a sentence and spun away, the halo of light refracted by the long sword swaying behind him, like a circle of light behind the gods and Buddhas.

"Lord Wu, you say, how did Lord Xu guess that the murderer was the Lu family?" Seeing Xu Chong walking away, a little official dared to come forward and ask Wu Yuanli.

Wu Yuanli smashed his mouth a few times in admiration, "He heard Zhou Yan say that the three ladies married by Yang Ziyun all died in succession, so he suspected that this case was probably related to the word 'love', but Yang Ziyun had such an illness, this kind of thing could not happen to him, so who else was left in the Yang family, of course, it was Yang Ziyun's father Yang Xiong." Later, he heard Sister Liu say that the woman who died in the sedan chair had a black face, so he was even more sure that she died of poisoning, not some heart disease, because the face of a person with heart disease was white and blue, and it would never be black. ”

"So Lord Xu went to interrogate Yang Xiong if he had an affair with her?"

"Yes, Yang Xiong quickly admitted it, and truthfully told Lord Xu that Lu E was indeed using his left hand. However, Lord Xu did not startle the snake, because although he had determined that Lu E was the murderer, there was no evidence. With Lu E's cunning, she must have completely destroyed the evidence. But people must have weaknesses, and Lu E's weakness is his son Xiao Ning. ”

Hearing this, the little official clapped his hands and applauded, but frightened Wu Yuanli, "What a second, Lord Xu stunned that kid with medicine, threw his clothes into the pool, and then blackened his face, misleading Lu E, making her think that retribution was coming, so that she could bring out all her sins." It's just," the little official paused slightly, "How can Lord Xu be sure that Lu E will definitely confess himself?" ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Yuanli showed a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out a wry smile, "Maybe, maybe it's luck, God seems to have always taken care of Lord Xu." ”

The little servant was stunned for a moment, and then nodded frequently and left, muttering in his mouth, "Also, such an upright and intelligent person, who can God take care of if he doesn't care about him?" ”

Wu Yuanli looked at his back, but the smile on his face disappeared little by little, like the sunset behind him that was slowly retreating. He knew in his heart that even if Lu E saw her son's "corpse", she would not necessarily confess to her crimes, but it would be different if she put a taste of hemp boiling in her usual teapot, which would make people irritable, emotionally unstable, and even hallucinate.

So when Xu Chong gave him the medicine, Wu Yuanli was a little hesitant.

"My lord, this is such a thing...... It's not a reasonable law. ”

"If Lu E doesn't confess, the three of them will have to die in vain, is this reasonable?"

Wu Yuanli has always been obedient and respectful to Xu Chong, so when Xu Chong glared at him and threw the medicine bag into his arms, he could only act according to the order, secretly put Ma Boiling Powder into Lu E's teapot, and ordered someone to take a piece of dim sum soaked in sweat medicine to Xiao Ning.

Of course, everything that happened later did not disappoint Xu Chong's hard work, and it can be regarded as comforting the three souls who died tragically.

"Maybe he's right, after all, he's Xu Chong."

Wu Yuanli turned around and looked at the sky overhead: the last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear on the horizon in the distance, and the city was once again shrouded in darkness.

Nanshan Hall is known as the head of the "Eight Great Halls" in the country, it is composed of the mountain gate, the building, the theater, the second floor of the bell and drum, the north and south tablet pavilions, the three halls and the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, nearly 200 large and small houses, built on the green mountain, from the mountain gate to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion three courtyards increase in height, and the staggered fall is caused.

The mountain gate is four pillars and three archway type gatehouses, the pillar base of the four pillars are the lion of white marble round carving, the middle two pillars are yang carved couplets, the font is vigorous, the spirit is grand. The lintel is inlaid with a piece of stone above, and the four big characters of "Nanshan Hall" are engraved on it, which is vigorous and powerful.

There are two ancient acacia trees in the second courtyard of the hall, which are four or five hundred years old. It is said that one day in the middle of summer, the scorching sun suddenly caught fire in the big locust tree in the south, and the heart of the tree burned from the root to the top, like a tall chimney burning. People carried water to extinguish the fire, but to no avail. Just when there was nothing to be done, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and a downpour came instantly, quickly extinguishing the fire.

Everyone said that it was Emperor Guan who appeared and saved the locust tree.

Every year when Emperor Guan's birthday is approaching, it is necessary to light two large candles more than five feet high and more than one foot in diameter in front of the offering table in the main hall, which are said to be able to burn for a whole year, in order to show respect for Emperor Guan.

Now, Sang is standing in the warm pavilion of the Fu Palace, looking at the statue of Emperor Guan Shengjun wearing a gilded crown enshrined in it in a daze.
