Zhou is very talkative.

Xu was because Pei Ze had a deep friendship with Lu Mu, and quickly told the Lu family about the big and small things with Huajiao.

The Lu Mansion is actually the palace of the first emperor in Tongcheng.

Forty years ago, there was a war between Eastern Chu and Daqi, in order to raise food, the first emperor ordered the Tongcheng Palace to be sold, the Lu family was a big family in the city at that time, and it was also the most capable of buying the palace, under the pressure of the government's grace, it cost one million taels to buy the palace, and donated hundreds of carts of food to the army.

After the defeat of Eastern Chu that year, the first emperor personally wrote a plaque to the Lu family and named him the Marquis of Enyi.

Enyihou is just a title.

Neither enjoy the court's fortune, nor can it be hereditary.

But the Lu family has also had a place in Tongcheng since then, and its reputation has been booming for a while.

Passed to Lu Mu's generation, Lu Mu is not good at business, but he likes to travel, and handed over the big and small shops in the city to the old people in the house to take care of, and he is not at home all the year round, I heard that he met Pei Ze when he was in the northwest, and the two were very close to each other, and they became brothers, Lu Mu did not gradually settle down until the year before last, and quietly took care of the shop handed down by his ancestors, although the family background is not as good as before, but fortunately, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the life can barely get by.

Sichuan pepper just laughed.

If it is a family like Lu Fu, it is said that they can barely get by.

Wouldn't their family's life be even more sad?

If nothing else, let's just say that this palace is worth a million taels!

After Wu Zhixian came back from Yucheng, he heard that there was a murder case in Mingxianglou, and the court opened the trial overnight, and heard that Huajiao had arrived in Tongcheng, so he sent someone to interrogate her to the court, and above the court, Huajiao saw the three people of Lao Li Tou, Lao Lintou and Tang Shopkeeper, the three of them wore anklets, and they looked embarrassed, and Huajiao instantly shed tears: "Lord Wu, the three of them don't know about it like me, and I hope that the adults will let them out first, they are innocent." ”

"Huajiao, I can understand your feelings, but people are in your store, and everyone present can't get rid of it, not that you can get rid of suspicion with one or two sentences." Wu Zhixian had a businesslike posture, and said lukewarmly, "I just said that this person was hit by Heding Red and died, and the officials just found a package of Heding Red in the drawer where you put the account book on the third floor, how do you explain it?" ”

"What? No way! The pepper was in disbelief and exclaimed, "I've never seen anything red from the top of the crane." ”

Heding Red is highly poisonous, she knows.

But she had only heard of it in rumors, and had never seen it.

Thinking that Qin Ming had frequently appeared on the third floor in the past few days, she had an ominous premonition in her heart, could it be him...... Thinking about it, it feels impossible, although she doesn't stay on the third floor all day, but every time she comes out, it will be locked, and outsiders can't get in.

"Sichuan pepper, facts are facts, they are indeed the crane top red that came out of your drawer." Wu Zhixian said solemnly, "So from the current point of view, you are the most suspicious." ”

Although he didn't want to see the crane top red in the account room of the pepper, it is said that the officials were all there at that time.

So it's not clear about it.

"Dare to ask Lord Wu, what is my motive?" Hua Jiao laughed angrily, "Why should I poison the guests in my own restaurant, I am thinking normally, and people are not crazy, how could I do something to self-destruct the sign, not to mention, I am not in the store at all today, how did I put the crane top red into the guests' dishes?" ”

"As far as I know, your Buddha jumping over the wall is soaked in advance, so you don't necessarily have to be there at the time." Wu Zhixian Zhengse said, "Of course, this is just speculation, what is going on, and we have to wait for the official to investigate clearly, so I have to wronged you to stay in the yamen for one night tonight." ”

He has a special relationship with Sichuan pepper.

Naturally, you can't bend the law for personal gain, and you must go through the motions.

"My lord, I guarantee that Mrs. Pei is innocent, and I am willing to stay in the yamen for her." Lu Mu hurriedly said, "I hope Lord Wu will be accommodating." ”

"Needless to say, so be it!" Wu Zhixian waved his hand, looked at Lao Li Tou and the three of them, frowned and said, "The evidence is not complete at the moment, let's take it with you for another day!" ”

"Wait......" Hua Jiao hurriedly walked up to the three of them and said apologetically, "Don't worry, we'll be fine soon." ”

They are all Pei Ze's most trusted people.

came to Mingxianglou to help, not to make money, most of them were willing to repay Pei Ze's favor, but she put her family in prison......

"Don't panic, we're fine." Shopkeeper Tang said unshockedly, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, we are not afraid." ”

Anyway, he didn't believe that there was a crane top red in the owner's drawer.

Someone must have put it in on purpose.

"That's it, the owner doesn't have to worry about us." Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou also comforted Hua Jiao one after another, "Someone must have framed us in this matter, and Lord Wu will find out." ”

If you don't believe it, such an obvious planting, the yamen can't find out.

"Then take care." Sichuan pepper said with red eyes.

"Lord Wu, Mrs. Sister-in-law is a woman after all, and her body is delicate, she can't be put in prison." Lu Mu continued to plead, "I beg your lord to be gracious and let me take Mrs. Pei back to my house, and I promise that my sister-in-law will be with you and will definitely not delay your adult's trial." ”

"Lu Gongzi, the state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the yamen is not opened by you and me, let's act impartially!" Wu Zhixian said coldly, "Sichuan pepper, please!" ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I'm fine." Hua Jiao hurriedly said, "Please ask Lu Gongzi to deal with the outside affairs." ”

"Lu is incompetent, forgive my sister-in-law." No matter how capable Lu Mu is, he can't do it against the magistrate in the court, Hua Jiao understands him very well, and Fu said: "Please tell my cousin and tell them not to worry." ”

"Don't worry." Lu Mu nodded and said, "I will definitely investigate this matter as soon as possible and return my sister-in-law's innocence." ”

"I believe in Lu Gongzi." Sichuan pepper.

Hua Jiao never thought that one day she would end up in the county prison.

As expected, there was straw on the hard floor, and there was nothing on the bed.

There was a dark aura in all directions, and it seemed that no one had entered this women's prison for a long time.

Who knows, before Huajiao could gain a firm foothold, he saw Gu Shi rushing over with someone in a hurry, and without saying anything, he asked people to open the cell, and dragged her out: "Follow my mother, this is not the place for you to stay." ”

"Madame, this is my business." Pepper pushed her hand away and refused to go with her.

"Huajiao, are you deliberately stabbing a knife in my heart?" Gu Shi said with tears on his face, "If I don't know, forget it, how can I watch you suffer here?" ”

"Wu Zhixian is impartial, and it is reasonable, how can it be regarded as suffering?" Hua Jiao said lightly, "Madame, let's go back, lest the adults accuse you of obstructing official business." ”
