"Who reported the case?"

The two officials from the county government torture room were called into the front hall, and Lu sat on top and asked coldly.

Xiao Guanjia said: "Naturally, he is a descendant of your mansion. ”

Lu: "Nonsense! No one in our house has ever reported the crime. ”

Xiao Servant A: "But the man claimed to be in the house, saying that there was a missing person in your house, a man and a woman. ”

Lu: "What does that man look like?" ”

Xiao Servant A: "Medium stature, ordinary appearance, and a standard official dialect." ”

Lu: "That's not right, most of the people in our house have southern accents, and few of them speak standard official language." ”

Clerk A and Clerk B looked at each other.

Junior Servant A: "So, is someone impersonating and pretending to be a subordinate of your mansion to report the crime?" ”

Lu: "It must be so. Your county government is too lax in handling affairs, and a cat and a dog dare to file a case if they say a word, don't they all verify their identities? ”

Xiao Guanjia bowed his head and slandered, your Meng family is the Yaxi Wang clan, the head of the squires in Dongyang County, how big the face is, just say a word to someone, we have to fart, it has been like this in the past, if you come slowly, you have to say that we are not respectful, and today we are not rigorous.

Lu said: "Since it is impersonated, you can go back." ”

Xiao Yiyi was more thoughtful, and asked more: "The person is impersonating, is the case also fake?" No one is missing in your house? ”

"......" Lu Shi didn't answer immediately for a while.

The two officials glanced at each other, and it turned out that the case might be true.

Lu said: "In our house, there are two people who are missing, but it also happened two days ago, maybe they just went to relatives, we can find it ourselves, and we don't have to work the county government." ”

Little officer A wanted to say something, but little officer B pulled him and preemptively said: "Since this is the case, we won't bother, and we will close the case when we go back, just think that someone is playing a prank." ”

Lu lowered his eyes, said "um" with his nostrils, and picked up the teacup.

This is the meaning of sending off guests, and Xiao Yi pulled Xiao Yi A and hurriedly retreated.

The little official also muttered: "I ran for nothing, and I didn't even give me any money for tea." ”

Xiao Yiyi: "Okay, everyone says it's okay, why should we find trouble by ourselves, isn't it good to go back and chat and fart." ”

The two of them muttered and left the house.

There were no outsiders, Lu threw the teacup on the table, and said to Luo's mother: "Someone must be playing ghosts, first kidnapped Hu Yigun and his wife, and now reported to the official, obviously trying to follow Hu Yi's gun to investigate." ”

Luo's mother: "What should I do then?" ”

Lu Shi: "Ask someone to prepare the car, and we will go to the Yongkang Marquis Mansion immediately." ”

Luo's mother hurriedly called someone to set up the carriage, and the master and servant went out in such a hurry.

On the side of Huanhua Pavilion, Meng Qingyun quickly got the news.

Green smoke: "The people in the carriage room said that the eldest lady and Luo's mother hurriedly set up the car and went to the Yongkang Hou Mansion. ”

Meng Qingyun's eyes flashed: "What, is there still Mrs. Yongkang Hou involved in this matter?" ”

She thought about it, even if Mrs. Yongkang Hou and the eldest lady are usually close, how can this kind of thing be connected? Could it be that this matter is not just a family affair in the Mongolian Mansion?

The Lu family did ask Mrs. Yongkang Hou for advice, and as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he hurriedly withdrew and grabbed Mrs. Yongkanghou's hand.

"What can I do?"

Mrs. Yongkang Hou quietly pressed her on the chair and sat down, pulled out her hand, and said, "Don't panic, let's total." ”

"Someone must have doubted this matter, first Hu Yigun disappeared, and then he pretended to be a subordinate to report to the official, I don't know what tricks are played, and I don't know who is behind this." The Lu family is really on pins and needles, and this kind of situation of the enemy is dark and clear, which really makes her feel like a man.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou was not as anxious as her: "Don't mess with yourself. Even if anyone suspects, there is no evidence that you have anything to do with it. ”

Lu Shi: "But if Hu Yigun is really kidnapped, sooner or later he will be recruited." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou: "So what? Mengjin was held hostage by the rebels, and was also pushed into the Yi River by the rebels. At most, Hu Yi's gun is not effective in protecting the master, and even he is not a murderer, let alone you? ”

Lu Shi: "Having said that, I once told Hu Yigun that he should act when he sees the opportunity......

Mrs. Yongkang Hou interrupted her: "Only black and white words can be regarded as evidence, and there is no basis for what you say, it can be said that Hu is a shot to bite and slander, or that he was beaten into a trick." ”

Lu: "That being said...... she was still uneasy.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou took a sip of the teacup, moistened her throat, and said, "What you are most worried about is that it is not that Hu Yiji will confess to you, but that the people behind you are afraid that the person behind you will hinder your action to swallow up the private property of the second room, right?" ”

Her tone was a bit teasing.

Lu Shi frowned a little, and said unhappily: "If it weren't for the second room's industry, why would you and I plan day and night to plan this big event?" Why are you talking about it now, am I the only one who wants the money? ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou smiled coldly: "No, that money will naturally only fall into your hands, and I have nothing to do with it." ”

"You!" Lu Shi was extremely angry, his eyes widened and he scolded sharply, "Hui Niang married into your mansion, won't she bring a dowry?" Besides, if you hadn't been instigating, where would I have done such a ruthless move? Why, do you see that things have changed, and you want to withdraw and regress to protect your innocence? Don't forget, you have more money than I do......"

"Okay, okay, I'll just make a joke, why are you still serious!" Mrs. Yongkang Hou hurriedly reassured her, "Really, what kind of friendship do you and I have, if you are in trouble, how can I stay out of the matter." ”

Lu Shi glanced at her, obviously not angry.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou repeatedly said good things to be careful, and all kinds of comforts and comforts, saying that even if someone really grabbed the evidence and handle, the Yongkang Hou Mansion would be the backer of the Lu family.

finally persuaded the Lu family to go back, and Mrs. Yongkang Hou personally sent her out of the house.

When Lu's carriage was far away, Mrs. Yongkang Hou asked the grandmother beside her, "What day is today?" ”

Mama: "March 20th." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou looked at the blue sky and smiled slightly: "Counting the days, it should be almost the same." ”

She stroked the shredded hair that fell from her sideburns with her hand, and her smile became a little strange.

Lu Shi sat in the carriage all the way back to the Meng Mansion in silence, and just walked to the big wing wall, a man and a rider rushed from the oblique thorn, and the momentum was too late, and it was about to collide. The driver of the car jerked the reins and tried to pull the car diagonally to the side. However, after all, the opponent's speed was too fast to completely avoid, and the opponent's horse still crashed into the wheel, and suddenly the person turned on his back, and there was chaos.

Fortunately, there was a stone fence under the big wing wall, which blocked the carriage, but it was crooked, and it did not lie sideways.

The driver hurriedly opened the car door and dragged Lu and Luo's mother out of it. Both of them bumped lightly, screaming, their arms and shoulders hurting everywhere, and they felt dizzy when they stood on the ground.

As for the man on horseback, he smashed the man and the horse to the ground. The horse was foaming at the mouth, evidently dying of exhaustion; The man struggled under the horse's belly, and the weight of the horse's body made his face flushed, and he looked like he was out of breath and out of breath.

The coachman didn't care about scolding, so he called the pedestrians on the side of the road to help, and quickly lifted the horse, dragged the man, and finally dragged the man out from under the horse's belly.

Luo's mother saw it really and exclaimed: "Isn't that Baocheng next to the big official?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Shi looked at it fixedly, "It's really him!" ”

Luo's mother: "He was serving a big official in Bianjing, why did he suddenly come back?" ”

At this time, Na Baocheng finally came back to his senses, didn't care if he had a broken leg, shouted "big lady" in his mouth, pushed aside the crowd and crawled to Lu's feet, grabbed her skirt, and cried loudly.

"Big lady, something happened! A major fraud case broke out in Chunqiu, and the big officials ...... The big official was dismissed and imprisoned! ”
