Chapter 240. freeloader
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xiang sent someone to send an invitation, wanting to invite Sunan, Chu Yunfei, and Mei Yingxue to the banquet. What Chu Yunfei never expected was that it was Luo Qingqing who came to deliver the invitation. She stood there with her hands down, and said with a little concern on her face: "My mother is also concerned about Miss Hu's whereabouts, and she is worried that Young Master Chu is not in the mood to go to the banquet, so my mother deliberately set up the banquet in Miaoxiangju, which is less than a mile away from Lord Su's mansion. In addition, my mother heard that Mei Gongzi had also arrived in Luoyang, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Mei Gongzi. I don't know if the two sons are willing to appreciate the light? I also want to return to my mother. ”
It seems that there is really nothing in this Luoyang City that can be hidden from Mrs. Xiang's ears. Chu Yunfei took the invitation and said with a faint smile: "Since Mrs. Xiang has thought it through so thoroughly, where do we have a reason to refuse?" Miss Lao ran for it herself. ”
"The three of them are all distinguished guests, and I can't rest assured that ordinary people do things. I've heard about Miss Hu, I don't know what clues there are from Gongzi Chu? Since I got the letter yesterday, my mother has also been worried about Miss Hu, so she specially arranged for people up and down to pay more attention to any strange movements inside and outside the city. But so far, there are no clues. Luo Qingqing said with a worried face.
Chu Yunfei continued: "Mrs. Lao is bothered. Miss Luo is from her own residence? Didn't go anywhere else? ”
This question was too abrupt, causing Luo Qingqing to be stunned, and she nodded: "Yes." My mother was afraid that something would go wrong, so she sent me here. I don't know why Chu Gongzi asked so much? ”
"It's nothing, Miss Laulo has a trip." Chu Yunfei arched his hand. At the same time, his eyes looked at Luo Qingqing carefully.
It wasn't until Luo Qingqing left that Chu Yunfei told Mei Yingxue about Luo Qingqing's origin, and then said, "It seems that they came prepared." However, they are not so much worried about the whereabouts of the orchid as they are trying to find out from us. Although Luo Qingqing is Mrs. Xiang's right-hand man, she is a pampered young lady. But she ...... today. It's weird. ”
"If you weren't intentional, you wouldn't have asked those last questions. Did you find something? Mei Yingxue knew Chu Yunfei's personality too well, but he had already paid attention to Luo Qingqing before, and there seemed to be nothing strange about it.
"How can a young lady who stretches her hands and eats with her mouth open her mouth can have oil stains on her body? Even if she doesn't pay attention, the people will pay special attention. Didn't you notice that Miss Lo's skirt was stained with oil and some ash? Chu Yunfei frowned. Luo Qingqing is a person who cherishes himself very much, especially has a good impression of Sunan, and before coming here, he must be carefully groomed. If it hadn't happened suddenly, I am afraid that it is unlikely that I would not have noticed these small details. The only explanation is that something went wrong before she got here, and the people around her didn't notice it.
Mei Yingxue had always believed in Chu Yunfei's judgment, and he nodded: "Since this is the case, then we have to go." ”
Chu Yunfei was worried that he would be so frightened that he was so frightened that he was all soldiers. He knew that except for Mei Yingxue, everyone was paying attention to his every move, especially at the banquet, and he could feel that all of them were intentionally or unintentionally searching for the news, and they wanted to get the exact news from his mouth.
The most calm was Mrs. Xiang, who controlled the atmosphere of the banquet. Not only that, but she has always tried to make the conversation lighter. Sunan occasionally interjected a sentence or two, but most of the time he was silent. On the contrary, it was Mei Yingxue who quickly became the focus of the audience, his special identity, coupled with Mrs. Xiang's intention to take this opportunity to get close to him, no matter how much he didn't like to be lively, he had to barely stabilize his mood.
"In fact, everyone has doubts in their hearts, and everyone wants to know, can Gongzi Chu solve the case many years ago? Everyone is a face-loving person, and they don't want to ask, so let me open this mouth. The appearance of Luo Wensong broke the scene that originally seemed lively. Everyone fixed their eyes on him, he seemed to enjoy this kind of treatment, and continued to say slowly: "The famous Chu Yunfei, you didn't come to Luoyang to play, everyone knows very well that you came here for a purpose. Then you might as well show your strength and solve the bloody case of many years ago. ”
"Song'er must not be ......unreasonable" Mrs. Xiang looked at Chu Yunfei embarrassedly, and quickly apologized: "Young Master Chu doesn't have to take it to heart, my nephew has never been big or small, so ......"
"Could it be that Gongzi Chu is afraid?" Luo Wensong didn't pay attention to Mrs. Xiang's words, but instead forced two more steps towards Chu Yunfei, and said loudly: "Or do you not have the ability to solve the case at all?" Or here, in front of everyone, admit that he is just a villain who sells his reputation. Anyway, you can be regarded as having come by the emperor's order, and we should have one more opportunity to cling to the powerful. ”
Mei Yingxue frowned, he was about to get up, but was pressed down by Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei looked up at Luo Wensong and said word by word: "Originally, I thought that Luo Gongzi was also a scholar, but I didn't expect that he would be no different from those ignorant children. But listening to your tone, it seems like you know something? Why don't you speak up and let everyone hear about it, so that we can see what you're capable of? Please, Mr. Luo......"
Everyone could see that Luo Wensong had bad intentions. Chu Yunfei was shocked, how could a person like Luo Wensong suddenly dare to speak to himself like this? He could vaguely sense that Luo Wensong seemed to be worried about something, but he didn't dare to trust his own judgment.
Luo Wensong was so agitated by Chu Yunfei, and snorted coldly: "Do you still need to say some words so clearly?" Who doesn't know the truth of the protection of officials and officials. Just make it clear, right? Those who were able to do this case back then were either rich or expensive, in order to get the relics. Think about it, who has such a great ability to cover the sky with one hand? Isn't that the princess? Do you still need to check this? Just come to the door and ask, and she'll definitely recognize it, unless ......"
"Song'er!" Mrs. Xiang interrupted Luo Wensong's words stiffly, "Don't talk nonsense? Chu Gongzi is a master of solving cases, where can you talk nonsense here? Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”
"There seems to be some truth to that." Chu Yun raised his hand to stop Mrs. Xiang from continuing. He knew that when he said this, it was equivalent to confirming Luo Wensong's guess, and he smiled faintly and said, "Luo Gongzi's words have some truth. I think the case that happened many years ago did involve a lot of people, and I will find out, but not now. ”
