28. Panic
"It is said that Mrs. Wu went to knock on the door of Hu Yigun's house in the morning, and there was a lock on the door, and then she didn't see Hu Yigun and his wife all day. In the evening, everyone began to discuss, some people said that Hu Yigun took a flower back to his parents' house, but the Lu family said that they did not see their daughter and son-in-law; Later, some people said that when Hu Yigun went to Laizhou, Yizhihua stole people, Hu Yigun came back and found that he killed her and the adulterer, and escaped by himself; There are also those who only killed the adulterer and ran away with a flower......"
Lu Shi said impatiently: "What a mess! ”
Hu Yigun went to Laizhou was arranged by her, and she has been sending people to keep an eye on Yizhihua, if there is a scandal of stealing people, she will find out first.
Shi Mo said: "I heard what the people below said. ”
Lu asked, "Who is talking about it?" ”
"The kitchen, shopping, sprinkling, sprinkling, needlework, pulp washing, mothers-in-law and maidservants everywhere are talking about it, and I don't know who started first."
Lu Shi frowned: "Didn't you say that Mrs. Wu went to call the door in the morning?" ”
Shi Mo said: "I asked Mrs. Wu, she denied it, she came to the house early in the morning to do work, and she never went to Hu's house at all. ”
Lu Shi realized that something was wrong: "So, Hu Yigun and his mother-in-law are really missing?" ”
"Yes, it's really gone, two big living people, as if they suddenly flew away."
Lu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but stand up and walked back and forth twice.
Then he looked at Shi Mo and Luo's mother.
"You say, could it be that Hu Yi's gun was discovered?"
What's the matter with Hu Yigun? Isn't it just about going to Laizhou. Shimo and Luo's mother are her confidants, and they all know about this; Hu Yigun's mother-in-law came to lose her temper and ask for money twice in three days, and they also knew it.
"No, this ...... This matter is so tight, and there is no head and no brain, who would doubt Hu Yigun? ”
Shi Mo and Luo's mother both hesitated.
But the more Lu thought about it, the more scared he felt.
"No, no, Hu Yigun is a martial artist, he has been a soldier and killed people, and he has always been rigorous in his work, how could he disappear inexplicably? Whether a flower has stolen or not, others don't know, don't we know? And even if it does, who is the adulterer? There must be something strange about this matter! ”
She began to get anxious, clutching her head and spinning in circles.
"There are no impermeable walls in this world. No matter how strict we do, if anyone is suspicious, the first thing to think of is Hu Yi's gun. Did someone kidnap him? Kidnapped with a sprig of flowers? ”
Shi Mo and Luo's mother also became nervous.
"If so, who will kidnap him?"
Lu Shi seemed to want to settle his mind, and while looking for a chair to sit down, he was groping quickly in his mind: "Then it depends on who is suspicious, is it the old lady?" Or Bai Rongxin? Or...... And Yuan Niang? ”
Mother Luo said fearfully: "If someone is really suspicious, if someone really kidnaps Hu Yigun, won't it be soon to find out about you, the eldest lady?" ”
Lu Shi raised his head suddenly: "Is it just me?" You're all accomplices, and none of you can escape! ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Mo saw that she was already in a mess, and hurriedly said, "Now is not the time to hold accountable. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, think about it calmly, even if Hu Yigun was kidnapped, someone asked what he did in Yizhou, so what? ”
Lu's mind became a little clearer, and he said while sorting out his thoughts: "Hu Yigun did not blatantly harm the second uncle, it was the second uncle who went out for a stroll in the middle of the night before he encountered the homeless people who made trouble; Hu Yigun just casually said the identity of the second uncle's official, and the exiles held them hostage; The latter things are all developing along the way, it's not what Hu Yigun did, can he still command the officers and soldiers and the chaotic people in Yizhou? ”
The more she said, the more determined she became: "Even in the Yi River, it was he who knocked the second uncle into the water, but didn't he say it, at that time, the rebels were already arguing whether to take hostages to negotiate with the government or directly throw people into the river and throw them away, the situation was chaotic, and it was night, I am afraid that even the people present themselves could not tell what was going on." ”
"Therefore, there is no clear evidence of what Hu Yigun did. What we are doing is even more unevidence-free. ”
"Yes, yes, no need to panic, no need to panic."
Lu Shi calmed down, only to find that the back of his neck was soaked cold, and it turned out to be a white sweat.
Shimo and Luo's mother's hearts also fell into their stomachs, and the three masters and servants all felt a little soft, so they each found a place to sit down, and for a while you look at me, I look at you.
Luo's mother hesitated: "We don't care about the matter of Hu Yi's shot?" ”
Lu Shi has already regained his confidence: "Tube! How can it not be cared for! To check, to find someone! Two big living people, I don't believe they can really fly! Immediately arrange manpower, dig three feet into the ground, and find out the people, I want to see who is doing the ghost! ”
It didn't take half a day's work for the Huanhua Pavilion to know that the Lu clan had sent people to search for Hu Yigun's whereabouts everywhere.
"Sure enough, it's her."
Meng Qingyun was already completely sure that the death of Meng Jin had absolutely nothing to do with the Lu family, otherwise Hu Yi's shot was just a domestic servant, why was there any need to find someone with such fanfare, and he was so eager.
Green Smoke and Asakusa were changing her clothes, and in the evening, the Lu family arranged a family banquet for Bai Rongxin to practice.
Asakusa bent down to tie her belt, and wondered: "We now know that the eldest lady is the mastermind, but why did she harm our officials?" What is the deep hatred of the relatives of the family? ”
Green smoke buckled the button on Meng Qingyun's chest while echoing Asakusa: "Moreover, what good can it do to her if she kills the second official?" ”
Meng Qingyun half-tilted his head, looked at the ceiling with his eyes, and said quietly: "This is going to ask the eldest lady, what kind of hatred is it that makes her want to put her relatives to death." What did she get by killing her father. ”
Green Smoke and Asakusa invariably remembered the piles of private property in their storehouse and looked at each other.
After changing clothes and cleaning up, Meng Qingyun blew on his freshly trimmed nails.
"Let's go, let's go meet the eldest lady."
The three masters and servants walked out of the Huanhua Pavilion and went straight to the garden.
Because it was a family banquet, the Lu family arranged it in the water pavilion in the garden.
Lu's, Meng Zhi, Wang Ziwei, and Meng Huiyun have all come a long time ago, and they have all been officially dressed up, although because the Bai family has just finished the funeral, the family is not easy to dress brightly, but they are all dressed up delicately and decently.
Meng Qingyun met Bai Rongxin, who had just returned from outside, at the door, and the nephew and uncle entered the hall together.
Everyone saw the ceremony, drank tea for a while, and the old lady was belatedly supported by sandalwood.
Fuchunjiang anchovy, honey Jinhua ham, Dongpo preserved food, fried eel in the south, crystal carp, chestnut stewed chicken, stewed soft-shelled turtle, Qianxiang mutton, etc., eight cold and eight hot sixteen dishes, all are famous dishes and Yaxi snacks in Zhejiang, and there are eight fresh fruit desserts, the wine is Jinhua wine and home-brewed plum wine. In this family banquet, the Lu family is still very attentive.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere of the banquet was lively.
Lu Shi casually brought up the conversation: "It's funny, a family in our house, the two of them don't know what kind of ghosts they have recruited, and they disappeared inexplicably. ”
