Chapter 171: Water Stains
Mu Changfeng sighed, he had no choice but to close his eyes, listen to the sound and tear the curtain floating around the Huxin Pavilion, and tie up the man who was not unconscious, forcing him to separate.
Qingxia hurriedly picked up the tattered clothes on the ground and put them on, and then ran out.
The county lord of Shou'an was hiding behind a big tree and was about to watch the lively scene he had carefully arranged, but he didn't expect to see his maid running over from the Huxin Pavilion.
The county lord of Shou'an walked out, "Why is it you in Qingxia?" What about Ginger? ”
Qingxia was also frightened, but it was not suitable to stay for a long time, so she hurriedly took her own county lord with her.
After Qingxia left, Mu Changfeng looked around, picked up the clothes that were still in good condition and hung them on the man's body. Looking around the Huxin Pavilion, "If there are a lot of people coming and going later, it won't be good if you startle the other female dependents, so let's hand you over to the people of the Xue Mansion." ”
That man Mu Changfeng didn't know him, but looking at the clothes, he should be a child of a family, and now this man's medicinal properties have not passed, and it is most appropriate to hand it over to the master's family.
Jiang Lan, who was in the dark, faintly wrote down the man's appearance, and after taking Mu Changfeng to pull the person away, he went from the shadows.
She looked around and always felt that there was a sister's breath here, but this lake pavilion had an unobstructed view, and there should be no talent. Could it be that on the top, Jiang Lan walked out of the pavilion again and jumped on the top of the pavilion, but unfortunately there were no cherry blossoms
Where should that be?
Looking for the appearance of the lord of Shou'an, seven or eight out of ten people who should set up a bureau today are his cousin Jiang Si, so what about Jiang Si?
Rescued?
But looking at the sobriety just now, it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise she would definitely kill the county lord and vent the hatred in her heart.
"Where the hell is my sister?" Jiang Lan, who was sitting on the top, muttered, and was about to return to the position at the beginning of the term to get the roster borrowed by Chunming, when suddenly bubbles floated on the surface of the water, and at the beginning of the period, he thought it was a koi fish raised in the lake, and when he looked down, it was actually Jiang Si who was drinking the lake water.
She hid under the entire pavilion in the middle of the lake, clutching at the underwater pillar, only half of her head was still floating above the water, and her whole face was as pale as paper.
Jiang Lan hurriedly came down from the top of the pavilion, and because she was in too much of a hurry, she tripped a little.
"Brother~"
When Jiang Lan went to fish for Jiang Si, she heard this weak sentence, Jiang Si, who had been soaked in the water for a quarter of an hour, curled up together, trembling.
Jiang Lan hurriedly took off her coat and wrapped her firmly.
"Brother~"
Jiang Lan touched her forehead and said in her heart, "It's okay it's not hot." ”
Then he hugged Jiang Si, who was covered in water, in his arms, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, my brother is here." ”
Jiang Si grabbed Jiang Lan's hand, and then took out the jade bone fan that her brother gave her from her clothes covered with water, "Brother, it saved me." Then he fainted. Listening to the sound outside, Jiang Lan immediately pinned the fan to her waist, wrapped Jiang Situan with her coat, hugged it, and disappeared into the Huxin Pavilion on her tiptoes.
When Xue Mingrui followed Mu Houye, he saw the water stains in this place, and his heart was cold.
Mu Changfeng next to him was very puzzled, and said to Xue Mingrui, "Second Prince Xue, didn't there be such a large area of water stains here before?" Could it be that there is someone under the pavilion? ”
Mu Changfeng was about to check, and Xue Mingrui on the side hurriedly explained, "Master Hou doesn't know, there are a few koi fish in my lake, and they like to swim here to make waves or something from time to time, and this water stain is a common thing." ”
Mu Changfeng was skeptical, but the master's family spoke, and he didn't have much to do.
"Today's matter is also asked to be kept secret by Xue Ergongzi, although the woman's matter is a maidservant, it is indeed in my cousin's house, if she goes out, I am afraid it will damage my cousin's reputation."
Xue Mingrui arched his hand, "This is natural, if it's just a misunderstanding, it's all good." "If not, let's see.
After sending Mu Changfeng away, Xue Mingrui asked Xue Kai to investigate, "Go and find out what happened here." Also, there must have been a person hiding in the ground. By the way, check if there is any sister missing from the female guest. ”
"No, young master."
Xue Mingrui looked at the water stains on the side of the pavilion again, "I'll ask my cousin if he sees anything suspicious." ”
After Xue Mingrui looked for half of the appointment, he didn't see Jiang Lan, but Xue Kai sent Jiang Lan's news.
Jiang Lan asked Chunming to change Jiang Si's clothes, and saw that she didn't have a fever, but just slept in a daze, so she was much more relieved. There was a sound of sparse footsteps outside, Jiang Lan got up, put the jade bone fan pinned to her waist into Jiang Si's hand, let her sleep peacefully, and walked out by herself.
When Xue Mingrui came to his courtyard, Jiang Si was closing the door.
Xue Mingrui said, "My cousin is inside." ”
Jiang Lan nodded and said softly, "I just fell asleep." ”
Seeing this, Xue Mingrui pulled Jiang Lan to the stone table in the courtyard.
"What the hell is going on? Have you arrived at the Lake Pavilion? ”
Jiang Langang, who had been tossing for a while, poured a glass of white water on the stone table, and when he heard this, he directly crushed the porcelain cup in his hand.
"Brother Lan, what are you ......" Xue Mingrui was stunned, and quickly took out his handkerchief and wrapped it in Jiang Lan, "What's the matter, you're too scary like this." ”
Jiang Lan also knew that it was not appropriate for him to do this, but as soon as he heard the words "Huxin Pavilion" just now, he thought of Jiang Si's hand and pale face that was holding the stone pillar.
Looking at Xue Mingrui, who was helping him bandage his hands, Jiang Lan suddenly asked, "Cousin, if you kill someone, what should you do according to the law?" ”
Xue Mingrui's hand paused, and he raised his eyes to look at his cousin, "The murderer pays for his life according to the law, what are you asking for?" ”
"What if you kill someone who deserves to be killed?"
Xue Mingrui obviously felt the strong killing intent bursting out of his cousin Jiang Lan's body, and his heart chuckled, it seemed that the matter was more serious than he thought.
"You must not be impulsive, if there is anything we can discuss, if you are impulsive, what should my cousin do? What about the Guogong Mansion? Don't be rash. Those who should be killed have their own laws to convict and execute, and it is not our turn to carry out the execution on our behalf. ”
Xue Mingrui is like this, Jiang Lan is a little more sensible, but it is only a little.
"Testimonies?" Jiang Lan chuckled, no wonder this county lord can be unscrupulous, that is, it is clearly calculated that we will not go to court because of this, because this is a rotten method that still has a thousand self-damage and eight hundred.
Once she was sued, then the matter of her sister's disappearance was revealed, and when the time came, everyone would be the same, and the people would care what kind of plan they were planning and who was innocent, they only cared about the fragrant content in it, and then it became a little talk after tea and dinner in the streets and alleys.
"I'm not going to let any of them go." Jiang Lan was like this, and the Gu family outside also arrived.
Jiang Lan greeted the Gu family, "Auntie." ”
"Good boy, how is Nuan Nuan?" Gu Shi retreated from everyone and asked.
Jiang Lan nodded, "The doctor saw it, it's not a big deal, it's just that the time spent soaking in the water saved it, and it may be hot at night." ”
Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and asked instead, "Do you know who did it?" ”
