Chapter 309: Resignation
As the night deepened, the huge Kaiyang Mansion seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and it was quiet.
There is also a lone lamp in a study, reflecting the hazy halo from the inside of the house to the outside, becoming a rare warm color in this winter night.
Wei Han, who was dressed in a snow-white shirt, was quietly reading under the lamp, with black hair in his snowy clothes, looking a little more deserted than in the daytime.
Knock knock.
There was a soft knock on the door outside the study.
"Come in."
A young man pushed the door in, hugged his fists and said, "Master, there is news from Luo's Mansion that the dinner used by Governor Luo is poisonous. ”
Wei Han put the scroll down casually, and his eyes changed slightly: "Tell me about the specific situation." ”
"It was said that the soup sent by Miss Luo was knocked over by rats and eaten during dinner, and those rats were poisoned......"
"Really?" Wei Han's eyes seemed to contain some kind of light, and his tone was gentle, "Zhao Shangshu entered the palace to report to the emperor?" ”
Young people should be.
Wei Han tugged at the corners of his lips, and his tone became more and more gentle: "Stand down." ”
The young man bowed and stepped back.
As the door closed gently, the cold wind brought in by the young man dissipated, and the room was as warm as ever.
The candle flame flickered, and the lone lamp seemed to light up, illuminating the man's eyebrows more and more clearly.
There was a deep smile in his eyes, and what came to his mind was the plain figure in the lobby of the wine-filled wine store.
It was the girl he knew so well that even if he closed his eyes and only listened to the footsteps, he could tell that it was hers.
She said she came to buy time, and she did.
Wei Han couldn't help but smile, but he didn't understand where this and the feeling of honor came from.
Candles and tears filled the candlesticks, and the night deepened.
He got up and blew out the faint candle flame, and simply rested directly on the low couch in the study, tossing and turning while a thought became more and more urgent: I should go to a wine shop early tomorrow to eat.
In Luo's Mansion shrouded in night, there were also people waiting for Luo Sheng.
"What are you doing here?" Luo Sheng saw the young man waiting on the stone steps and asked with a smile.
Luo Chen hesitated for a moment before he said, "You came back today and on a weekday evening, did you go to the yamen and encounter something?" ”
The reason for hesitation is that the situation is bad enough that I don't want to hear anything worse.
But even Luo Sheng, a girl, is fearless in the face, how can he escape.
He is not only Luo Sheng's younger brother, but also the little master of Luo Mansion.
"Let's talk as we go."
Luo Sheng walked forward, and Luo Chen walked silently beside him.
"The food I brought to my father was poisoned."
Luo Chen's footsteps paused, and his eyes sank slightly: "Is my father okay?" ”
"It's okay, the poisonous soup happened to be overturned by the rats and eaten by the rats."
"Ugh." Luo Chen twisted his eyebrows and walked forward, took a few steps and asked softly, "Won't my father be convicted for a while?" ”
Luo Sheng looked sideways at him.
A thirteen-year-old boy with a young face and a deep and bright look in his eyes.
Luo Sheng curled his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Yes, adults must always check carefully." ”
Luo Chen walked with his head bored, and when he was about to reach the fork in the road, he asked in a low voice: "Can the adults really find out?" ”
The man who poisoned -
He glanced deeply at the girl beside him, and his heart was inexplicably a little uneasy.
Others won't think about Luo Sheng, but he will.
There are too many surprising facts that Luo Sheng has done.
In the night, the girl's expression was calm, and her tone was light: "Maybe you can, maybe you can't, we don't have to worry about this." ”
All she wants is to stall for time, and she doesn't care if the truth will be seen through.
She is the pearl of Governor Luo's palm, and her willfulness and wanton fame in the capital depends on having a good father, even if Lin Teng suspects her, she can't be arrested without evidence.
As long as the people who can drag the King of Kaiyang rescue the guard's wife and children and send them to the capital to clear the charge of Governor Luo, she will still be a lawless Miss Luo in the future.
If Governor Luo can't clear her name, what difference can she make if she does more or less?
When the fork in the road arrived, Luo Sheng stopped: "I'm back to Xianyunyuan, you can go back and rest." ”
Looking at the young man who nodded obediently, she raised her hand and rubbed his head: "Think too much, you can't grow tall." ”
Luo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said angrily: "Worry about it." My father is so tall, I won't be short. ”
Luo Sheng looked at the young man fixedly, sighed and turned to leave.
Luo Chen faintly felt a little strange, more inexplicable, and returned to his residence with a straight face.
Early the next morning, Luo Sheng went to the yamen of the Criminal Department to inquire about the situation.
"Master Shangshu, Miss Luo is here."
Zhao Shangshu hesitated for a moment and motioned to bring someone in.
Looking at the girl who came in empty-handed, Zhao Shangshu was suddenly disappointed, and quickly corrected this wrong idea with reason.
It just happened yesterday, and of course Miss Luo is not good at bringing him food.
"Lord Shangshu, I don't know what happened to my father, have you found out who wanted to kill him?"
"Haven't found out yet."
Seeing that the girl was about to shed tears, Zhao Shangshu hurriedly said: "Be cautious!" This kind of thing can't be found out in a while, we have to be responsible to the emperor and the governor, Miss Luo said, right? ”
Luo Sheng nodded: "Lord Shangshu is right, you should be cautious. Then I won't bother you to investigate the case, and when there is progress, I bother you to send someone to Luo's Mansion or a wine shop to talk. ”
After getting Zhao Shangshu's nod, Luo Sheng left the yamen and went to the wine shop.
The liquor shop is deserted.
The female shopkeeper looked at the ledger over and over again, with a sad face.
Xiao Qi, who was almost as good as his injuries, still went to the school, but changed to another one.
The bearded man and the strong man squatted at the base of the wall and rolled the dice.
Luo Sheng walked into the courtyard with his feet raised.
When the two saw Luo Sheng coming, they hurriedly hid the dice and stood up, and greeted them with a smile: "Owner." ”
"Have you heard about my family?"
The two nodded hesitantly.
"Once my father is convicted, he is likely to be implicated in the liquor store, and while it is still calm, the two of you might as well find another way out-"
"What did the owner say?" The beard and face were dark, "I am a person with an aunt, I will be where my aunt is, Brother Lu must be the same as me." ”
The strong man nodded again and again, with a serious expression: "That's right, what Brother Du said is what I want to say, don't drive us away." ”
"As long as you don't regret it." Seeing them say this, Luo Sheng did not force him, and turned his head to see the female shopkeeper standing at the door.
The female shopkeeper pursed her lips and smiled: "We are a shopkeeper, the owner opens a fat powder shop, we are the shopkeeper of the fat powder shop, and if the owner opens a wine shop, we are the shopkeeper of the wine shop." As long as the shop is here, the little woman is here. The proprietor takes care of the house, don't worry about the little woman. ”
Luo Sheng bent his lips: "Then let's open the wine shop well and strive to become a time-honored brand." ”
The three female shopkeepers all laughed.
At this time, someone from Luo's Mansion hurriedly reported: "Girl, the son told you to go back, and someone from the Tao family wants to leave the eldest girl!" ”
