The Shuzhi Mansion suddenly fell into chaos, and there were two more corpses in the courtyard in a blink of an eye, and for a while, it was really difficult for the living to even choose who to cry for.

Fat Xu howled and cried for a while, and then glared at the men who carried Lu Jiaojiao back with a fierce expression.

"Say, why do you want to harm my Jiaojiao!" It was almost unexpected, and before anyone had time to react, Fat Xu had already grabbed a man's collar viciously.

The man was originally standing on the side with an expressionless face, but at this moment, in the face of Fat Xu's sudden attack like a mad dog, he instantly raised his eyebrows and pushed her away.

Fat Xu was already weak at this time, and this was a Lian family, and when he pushed her like this, she instantly fell backwards to the ground, and her whole body was weak.

"You!" Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to scold the man, but was interrupted by his harsh and domineering words-

"Lu Jiaojiao is disrespectful to His Royal Highness King Chang, His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, reward her with a rod and reward her with a whole corpse, you can be content!"

After that, before everyone came back to their senses, the few people in King Chang's Mansion had already left violently.

Fat Xu sat weakly in place and cried: "Evil, evil!" Jiaojiao, look at what kind of Langjun you have found, it is not enough to kill your father, but now it is even you, even you......"

These words, together with the deaths of the two closest relatives, dealt a heavy blow to the fat Xu family, and she immediately fainted.

On the other side, Lu Xuan returned home from the household department as usual, but he felt that the people he saw along the way were cautiously discussing something, but he thought that it was none of his business, so he didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until I returned to the top of the house that I saw the rice cake that came to greet me mention the death of Lu Xilong and Lu Jiaojiao, but the details were in the clouds, which made Lu Xuan confused.

Lu Xuan had no choice but to go and find out in person.

Cui's stayed in front of her couch since he welcomed Lu Qingmeng back, and it wasn't until he saw Lu Xuan appear at this moment that he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah Xuan, you can be counted as back, come and take a look." ”

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "A-Niang, what's wrong with Qingmeng?" And I just heard the rice cake say uncle and Jiaojiao...... What's going on? ”

Originally, it was just an ordinary day, and he finally came back from official business, but as soon as he entered the door, he was instilled with so much news, and Lu Xuan was overwhelmed.

But when asked about Cui's, she was also confused, so she could only shake her head anxiously: "I don't know, as soon as Qingmeng comes back, it's like this, I've been taking care of her all afternoon, and I haven't had time to go to Shuzhi to see what's going on." ”

Seeing that Cui's was frightened by this incident, Lu Xuan simply stopped asking her, and instead comforted her in an extremely gentle tone:

"A-Niang, don't worry too much, didn't the doctor say that Qingmeng is fine? It's not too late for her to wake up and find out about those things. ”

was said by Lu Xuan, and with her by his side, Cui Shi was a little more relieved.

As the mother and daughter were talking, they heard a faint but frightened voice from the bed—"Don't come, don't kill me, don't, don't ......"

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I saw that Lu Qingmeng was full of panic, and Cui's face was distressed, so he hurriedly woke her up.

Lu Qingmeng slowly regained his senses, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Xuan for the first time, and then called for help at her: "Brother save me, uncle wants to kill me." ”

Seeing this, Cui Shi hurriedly hugged Lu Qingmeng in his arms and comforted him carefully: "It's all over, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

Lu Qingmeng's emotions gradually calmed down, but Lu Xuan was full of suspicions, and after a while, he asked her, "What did you just say?" Who's going to kill you? ”

Seeing Lu Xuan asking, Lu Qingmeng responded with an aggrieved face: "It's uncle, uncle, he came towards me with a knife viciously, he wants to kill me, he wants to teach me a lesson for Jiaojiao." ”

When he said this, Lu Qingmeng's face was filled with panic again.

Lu Xuan became more and more puzzled: "Why does Uncle want to kill you?" What does this have to do with Jiaojiao? ”

"Jiaojiao forced me, she forced me to go to His Royal Highness King Chang's house to confess her guilt, and her words angered His Highness, His Royal Highness ordered someone to scold her, I kindly came back to inform the uncle, but the uncle just said that I framed Jiaojiao to cause her to be punished." Lu Qingmeng said.

Lu Xuan didn't seem to believe it: "Just because of this matter, he wants to kill you?" ”

Although Lu Xilong has never been a good person, Lu Xuan understands his character, he is timid and calculating, how can he not know the truth of killing to pay for his life?

Just because of this trivial matter, he risked the price of imprisonment to kill Lu Qingmeng, even if Lu Xuan hated Lu Xilong, he would definitely not believe it.

Seeing that Lu Xuan seemed to have doubts about what he said, Lu Qingmeng hurriedly added fuel and vinegar: "Uncle's family has always been quite prejudiced against me, and when they came to the house to trouble me a few times ago, they threatened to kill me, wasn't my brother also present at that time?" ”

That's right, but at that time, anyone could hear that what Lu Xilong said was just angry words, and at that time, even if Lu Xuan didn't dissuade him in the middle and give him a thousand more dares, he probably wouldn't dare to kill people in broad daylight.

Lu Xuan was still skeptical, and then asked Lu Qingmeng again: "Are you sure that there have been no other disputes between you and your uncle?" You said he was going to kill you, but why did he die at the hands of the guards of the Chang Palace? Also, what about the other person who died at the scene of the crime? ”

was repeatedly questioned by Lu Xuan, Lu Qingmeng was a little overwhelmed for a while, and simply pretended to be stupid and pitiful: "My stomach, my stomach hurts so much, hiss~"

Lu Qingmeng covered the wound with his hand and looked in pain, and when Cui Shi saw this, he hurriedly comforted her: "You have an abdominal injury and need to recuperate, come, drink the medicine first." ”

Cui Shi said as he brought the boiled herbs to Lu Qingmeng, and carefully fed her with his own hands, which interrupted Lu Xuan's interrogation at the same time.

Lu Xuan can feel that this is all Lu Qingmeng deliberately avoiding herself, even if her acting skills are really good enough to be fake, but who said that these have long been accustomed to Lu Xuan, who has "experienced a hundred battles"?

I can't hide from the first day of the first month, and Lu Qingmeng's injuries will always improve one day, but I am not in a hurry at this time, and there are still guards from King Chang's Mansion among the dead, presumably King Chang will not sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan turned a blind eye to this for the time being: "That's it, since Qingmeng is injured, let's recuperate first, and I'll go and find out the situation over there." ”

After informing Cui's family, Lu Xuan hurriedly left.

Although this matter is full of suspicions, there is no evidence in the final analysis, it is just Lu Xuan's intuition and speculation.

Even if Lu Xilong's death was expected, out of suspicion, Lu Xuan still planned to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Leaving the room where Lu Qingmeng was settled, Lu Xuan was full of worries, and he couldn't even walk, until he was bumped into by the oncoming Rong Li.

"Ah Xuan, why are you here?" Rong Liao asked Lu Xuan that he had also heard of a series of things that happened in the Shu branch today, and he came here to find out the situation.

I thought that such a big thing happened, and Lu Xuan, as the eldest son of the Lu family, should be very busy, but I never thought that she would stay in the house so calmly.

Startled by Rong Li's voice, Lu Xuan came back to his senses: "Cousin, have you heard about today's events?" ”

Lu Xuan asked directly, and Rong Li did not shy away from it, so he simply nodded, and then asked her about the situation.

Lu Xuan briefly said what Lu Qingmeng had just said to Rong Li, and asked him if he had any doubts by the way.

I saw that Rong Li's face suddenly sank, and he hesitated for a while before he spoke: "This matter is indeed strange. ”

Seeing that Rong Lie was slightly the same as what his hero saw, Lu Xuan hurriedly pushed him to a secluded place to discuss it carefully.

"What does my cousin think is strange?" Lu Xuan asked.

Rong Lie then elaborated: "Leaving aside the motive of the uncle to kill Qingmeng, why did Qingmeng go to Changwang's mansion?" It is clearly her who admits her mistakes, why is King Chang, but Jiaojiao is implicated in anger? ”

None of this really makes sense.

"There are also the two guards of Changwangfu at the scene of the crime, if it is according to Qingmeng's words, the one who died should also be killed by the uncle, but why did the uncle kill the people of Changwangfu?" Allow lies to ask questions.

Then he answered himself: "In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is to avenge Jiaojiao, but under such a head-on conflict, the uncle will obviously not be the opponent of the guard; Second, the guard was originally to protect Qingmeng, but if this is the case, he should be more vigilant when he sees that the uncle has the intention of harming Qingmeng. ”

In this way, both possibilities have been overturned, not to mention whether Lu Xilong has the courage to go against the people of Chang Wangfu, even if he is really angry and loses his mind, he is definitely not an opponent of others.

"What does my cousin think the guard died?" Lu Xuan humbly asked for advice.

Only then did Rong lie speculate according to common sense: "A person with strong martial arts is killed by a single blow, usually there are two possibilities, and the person who meets one of them is better than himself in martial arts; Second, he was defenseless against him. ”

Lu Xilong and Lu Qingmeng are both powerless people, so they can't be called masters, so it will be the second possibility that Rong Lily said - defenseless, and people are usually defenseless only when they trust them.

Combined with everything that had been inferred before, that guard was sent by King Chang to escort Lu Qingmeng, so compared to Lu Xilong, a person he had never met, he trusted Lu Qingmeng more.

All kinds of signs led Lu Xuan into an almost incredible inference, and she was suddenly dumbfounded: "Could it be that the guard didn't die at the hands of the uncle at all, but ......?"

Lu Xuan didn't dare to continue, but Rong Li was extremely calm: "It won't take long to know." ”
