Chapter Twenty-Nine - Bringing Back Some Blood from You

Previous Chapter

Lu Mengqi ran all the way to the Hidden Letter Pavilion by himself.

"Qi Yan, check if there is anything abnormal in the Gu Mansion, focus on the Seventh Lady, and then check if Prime Minister Gu has any other actions, and when Gu Ruihan came back from outside the city, did anyone see him."

"Yes.. But this...."Qi Yan made a gesture to count the money.

"It costs money, too! Think about money, go crazy, you! Lu Mengqi raised his hand at Qi Yan and slapped it.

Qi Yan, the current head of the Hidden Letter Pavilion, was supported by Lu Mengqi with one hand.

"This is the rule you set, except for General Lu and the pavilion master, everyone must collect the money for their entrustment."

"Okay, ruthless or ruthless, how much is it?" Lu Mengqi slapped his head angrily, you must know this, he said at the beginning that except for General Lu and Lu Mengqi, everyone had collected cash.

"That's the number." Qi Yan stretched out three fingers.

"Three hundred taels! Why don't you grab it! ”

"Actually, there is a way not to collect money, it depends on whether you use it or not."

"How? Is there anything else I don't know? How? Your new rules? Lu Mengqi looked at Qi Yan suspiciously, always feeling that the other party was playing a trick on herself.

"If you become the pavilion master, you won't take any money."

"It's... It's also a method, but since I've abdicated, I don't want to come back, so three hundred taels is three hundred taels. You send the task first, and I'll go back and let the meat be delivered to you. Lu Mengqi finished speaking and was about to leave, "Oh yes, the news was sent directly to the military camp outside the city." ”

Lu Mengqi came out of the Hidden Letter Pavilion and went straight to the camp where his eldest brother was stationed.

"How's that little sister? Did you find anything? ”

"Not yet, the Hidden Letter Pavilion went to check, has the person Shen Feibai said found it?"

"No, there is no one named Li Feishi in the Han Yun Army."

"What about the similar-looking ones? Or is it a similar age? ”

"There are many people of similar age, and Shen Feibai doesn't know what that person looks like, only his name and approximate age."

"What's going on with the Hidden Letter Pavilion? Suddenly unreliable? Big brother, borrow someone. After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, he found a piece of paper and wrote something, handed it to a soldier brought by his eldest brother, and asked him to send the news to the Lu Mansion.

The messages between the Hidden Letters Pavilion were encrypted, and when others got them, they couldn't tell what was written.

With a stick of incense, Li Rourou came to the camp panting.

"Miss, this... Message. Li Rou didn't even breathe, and first took the news to Lu Mengqi, "They... They said... This is not charged... Collect money. ”

"Don't worry, take a breath." Lu Mengqi read the news brought by Li Rourou, and concluded that except for the second lady and Prime Minister Gu Cheng, the rest of the Gu Mansion were not abnormal. On the way to Lufu, Gu Ruihan was seen by two people.

"Meat, these two people who saw Gu Ruihan gave some silver taels and sent them out of the city overnight, and they could not come back until three months later. Let them find out where the second lady and Prime Minister Gu Cheng went. ”

"I checked it, and I said it would be sent later." Li sat on the ground tired and couldn't move, as if his legs were not his own.

When waiting for the news, Lu Mengqi discussed with his eldest brother how to deal with it if something happened, as well as screening out possible candidates for Li Feishi, and soon, the follow-up news was also sent.

"Wang Yong?" Lu Mengqi looked at the news with it, "What does Wang Yong have to do with this incident?" ”

"They said they didn't know what it had to do with it, but maybe it did, send it over for you to see." Li Rourou had just come back from outside with the news, and passed on some requests.

"I remember that Gu Ruihan wanted to check Wang Er, and this Wang Yong was also called Wang Er before." Lu Mengqi thought for a while, and handed Wang Yong's portrait to his eldest brother, "Big brother, look." Can you find Li Feishi through him? For example, people who know Wang Yong, or have been in contact with. ”

"If he deliberately concealed it, then we probably would have been very difficult to find."

"Well, yes, but let's find a way to find out first. Prime Minister Gu and the second lady went to the incense shop, because the shopkeeper had resigned, so they went to solve the matter overnight. Lu Mengqi read the news sent by the Hidden Letter Pavilion, and always felt that something was not right, but everything was right.

"Meat, let the Hidden Letter Pavilion keep an eye on the Lin Mansion, and the Ministry of Officials is still in the Lin Zuo. Then I went to find out where the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion went, and focused on Chen Jing. ”

"Little sister, why are you staring at Lin Mansion?"

"I don't know, I just have a gut feeling that this matter is not so simple, Gu Ruihan and Shen Feibai betrayed Gu Mansion, just got injured and came out? Gu Fu did not continue to track down the two of them, which was very strange, and Gu Ruihan said that he belonged to the city defenders, but he had never seen the second brother. ”

"How can there be a city defender, you haven't seen the second brother."

"Yes, so Prime Minister Gu Cheng must have hidden something, just released Gu Ruihan and Shen Feibai, don't you think it's strange?"

Things are as Lu Mengqi said, the Hidden Letter Pavilion found out, although the Gu Mansion did not act, but the Lin Mansion was brightly lit for a night, and after inquiring, I learned that the people of the Lin Mansion were also looking for Gu Ruihan.

Lu Mengqi stayed in the camp for a long time, because she was really unaccustomed to eating, so she quietly found her way back to Lufu.

returned to Gu Mansion with Li Rourou, and met Xu Jie when he entered the door.

"Miss, Gu Ruihan has woken up."

"I woke up in time." Lu Mengqi still has some things to ask Gu Ruihan.

"Miss Xie Lu's life-saving grace."

"No thanks. If you have a question, answer them one by one. First, how do you know that I am in the Gu Mansion and not in the Lu Mansion, when you disappeared, I had not reconciled with Gu Yuanqing; Second, why did you suddenly decide to betray the Gu Mansion? Third, the process of running out is explained in detail; Fourth, it is best to tell all the news you know about Wang Er and Li Feishi; Fifth, what does it have to do with the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Lin Zuo? ”

Gu Ruihan smiled helplessly, "You really, don't believe me." ”

"If I don't believe you, I won't save you, don't grind." What Lu Mengqi said was right, but it was not entirely correct, and the letter also believed Gu Ruihan, but there were also some doubts.

"Okay, I'm in the Hanyun military camp, and I happened to hear Commander Lu mention the news that you have reconciled with Gu Yuanqing. As for why he betrayed the Gu Mansion, it was because he received a secret letter saying that Prime Minister Gu had killed my biological parents, and the insider was Li Feishi, as for Lin Zuolin Shangshu, I really didn't know him. Later, Gu Ruihan explained all the details of how to escape from the Gu Mansion.

"Well, it's similar to what Shen Feibai said, there are a little discrepancies in the details, but it's normal, it seems that you were put on a show." Lu Mengqi said his guess.

"Got put on the table? What do you mean? ”

"In the Han Yun Army, there is no one named Li Feishi at all, we have investigated for a long time in the morning, and no one is similar to what you said."

"How is that possible!"

"How is it impossible, so you have fallen for someone else's trick. This person, I guess it's Lin Shangshu, after you came out of the Hanyun military camp, the Lin Mansion has been looking for your whereabouts. Lu Mengqi said part of it and concealed part of it.

In fact, the Lin Mansion was still looking for Han Yunjun's station, and after the Hidden Letter Pavilion found out about the matter, she notified the eldest brother and asked the eldest brother to leave with someone.

"That Shen Feibai..."

"Don't worry, he's fine, but you may not see him anytime soon, and when it's over, he'll be back. There aren't many things you should know about the way you look. ”

Lu Mengqi shook the news of Wang Yong in his hand in front of him. "This is Wang Er's news, you haven't found it, I inadvertently checked it out by others, do you want it?"

"Really?"

"Hmm~really~ but I have to collect the cash." Lu Mengqi checked Gu Ruihan's matter, and it cost three hundred taels! Three hundred taels! My heart is dripping blood, how can I not return some blood.

"Silver? Harvest... How much? Gu Ruihan looked at Lu Mengqi with an expression of "I'm really poor, you don't want the lion to open his mouth", pitiful.

"Okay, okay, look at your poor bastard, take a little less from you, a hundred taels."

"One hundred taels?! I... I don't have that much. Gu Ruihan calculated, and it is estimated that the remaining copper plate can only be exchanged for seven or eight taels.

"No money? That's easy to say, old rules, help me with things. ”

"Okay."

"You haven't heard anything yet."

"I can't go back to the mansion, since Miss Lu doesn't care about the past suspicions..."Gu Ruihan hugged his fists, "Then I thank Miss Lu for taking her in." ”

"Also, I saved you, you have to pay for the medical expenses, and you have to pay for the sheets you dyed with plum meat."

Gu Ruihan looked at Lu Mengqi with the expression of a profiteer, but he was helpless, and finally agreed.

"Oh, here you go, you can see it first, it should be helpful." Lu Mengqi gave all the news of Wang Yong to Gu Ruihan.

"Wang Yong, formerly known as Wang Er, is a former miscellaneous servant of Youxiang Pavilion, and the identity of Wang Er you want to check is almost the same. This Wang Yong would go out together every month when he bought medicinal herbs at Dan'er, but instead of going to the pharmacy with Dan'er, he went to the blacksmith shop in the south of the city. Lu Mengqi looked proud.

"According to the information found, the blacksmith shop in the south of the city should supply weapons to the Gu Mansion."

"Seongnam? It seems that the weapons we use were indeed supplied by a blacksmith shop in the south of the city. Gu Ruihan thought for a while, "But most of the quality is not very good, and my knife is also made by someone after saving a long time of monthly money." Gu Ruihan pointed to the knife not far from the bed.

"I've checked your knife, it's not made by the same blacksmith shop as the one that supplies Gu's house, and we also found out that every time Wang Yong goes to the blacksmith shop, he will bring a small package in, and when he comes out, the package is gone. And every time he went to the blacksmith shop, he would go to a gunpowder shop first. ”

"Gunpowder shop?"

"Well, it's a black shop, there is no signboard, and it is very difficult to find." Lu Mengqi looked at Gu Ruihan and found that the other party didn't seem to have much reaction, as if he didn't understand, Lu Mengqi was thinking in his heart, "This child is hopeless, I'm afraid it's not too much blood loss and brain hypoxia to be stupid." ”

"Guess who opened this gunpowder shop?"

"Who?"

"Lin Zuo, Lin Shangshu."
