Chapter 44: There is another mystery
There is no one left or right.
Only then did Lu Jiayue put her mind at ease.
It seems that the man was just trying to scare himself.
But there's no need to be so loudβcould it be that the people of Jin Yuwei are so vicious?
Slightly smoothed out his breath, and couldn't help but think of the strange man he saw sitting and drinking with Qu Song in the study when he was sticking under the window.
Because he was sitting with his back to the south window, Lu Jiayue peeked out of the window, but could only see a back.
Although it was just a glance, I also felt that the back was clear and straight, the shoulders and arms were straight and wide, and the vermilion flat gold velvet embroidered unicorn dress on the body was bright and dazzling.
I heard that the unicorn suit can only be worn by the person with the highest official position in the Golden Feather Guard, and it turned out that the strange man was the famous commander of the Golden Feather Guard-Ding Can.
In his previous life, he was in the boudoir, and he had heard of his reputation and deeds, and he was actually a popular figure in Kyoto City.
She couldn't help but think back to the conversation she had overheard.
Listening to what Ding Can said, it was he who believed the news in the secret letter that secretly ordered someone to save Guan Ming, and thus retained the only vital witness in the salt tax case.
In this way, in suppressing the authority of King Wei, he did himself a great favor.
You should be grateful to him.
But why did he say that there was "another mystery"?
It is an indisputable fact that the two of Wei Wang Gou and Tong Guan were greedy for ink and taxes. After the matter was revealed, King Wei wanted to win over his uncle Qu Hong and tamper with the salt tax accounts for him, so he killed Tong Guan and the others, so as not to implicate himself. Although Tong Baili died, there was Guan Ming's testimony, and the poisoned jailer testified against King Wei...
What is the mystery of such a clear and clear case?
Lu Jiayue didn't think so.
I have always heard that Jin Yuwei is the saint's henchman and guard, and he is most trusted and relied on by the saint, and it is a thunderous means to handle errand cases, but now it seems that it is just a vain name.
But fortunately, he said that he wanted to "play according to the facts," and all the physical witnesses and evidence were added together, and King Wei could not deny it.
Uncle Qu Hong is right, everything just depends on how the holy will is decided.
Lu Jiayue shook the flower branch in her arms, and smiled helplessly.
I was really stupid, I was scared by someone, and I ran out as if I was running for my life, but I didn't forget to abandon this flower branch.
But now that it's been broken, it can't be wasted, so it's better to take it back and make offerings yourself.

Lu Jiayue came back to Chuntang Residence in a huff, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she saw Xiaoshun Xiaocheng sitting on the steps under the corridor waiting for her, and both of them had a look of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.
When he came in, he sent the maids out, and the two little servants knelt down without saying a word.
Lu Jiayue didn't know why the two of them were like this, and asked with a smile while letting Xin Zhu help him up, "What's wrong?" What's going on? β
The two little guys only knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said in a crying voice: "Miss, help, Miss-Jin Yuwei's people are coming to arrest us!" β
Lu Jiayue couldn't help but be stunned.
Why did Jin Yuwei's people come to Qufu to arrest people? Why didn't I hear the slightest news?
glanced at the two little guys, and couldn't help frowning: "Stand up and say it well, what's the use of crying." β
Only then did the two little guys stand up tremblingly, and they were a little pitiful.
Xiao Shun was so anxious that he wanted to cry, he couldn't speak, but Xiao Cheng said in a pleading tone: "Miss, the two of us can see it clearly, it is indeed Jin Yuwei's people - we don't know anyone next to us, the official robe of Jin Yuwei, the unicorn suit, and the golden feather crown on his head, we still know..."
Kirin suit...
Lu Jiayue only thought about it for a moment, but even if she understood, she couldn't stop laughing.
Thinking that these two little guys probably saw Ding Can, the commander of Jin Yuwei wearing a unicorn suit, in the front yard, because the two of them had sent a secret letter to Jin Yuwei, just like they were eavesdropping on the corner of the wall, they were like thieves, and when they saw Jin Yuwei's people, they thought that they were coming to arrest them.
Lu Jiayue laughed inexplicably.
Jin Yuwei came to Qufu to arrest people, and seeing that Miss's involvement in the government was about to be revealed, Miss was still laughing so happily...
Isn't Miss scared silly?
The two little guys didn't know what to do, Xin Zhu was always by Lu Jiayue's side, he understood, stretched out his finger and pointed at the foreheads of the two little guys, covered his lips and snickered: "Look at you two scared, that's Uncle Guo, today I came to find Young Master Songbiao to eat wine, why did you come to arrest someone?" If you come to arrest someone, how can you bring only one attendant? β
The two little guys just remembered that Baozhu had just said that Uncle Guo and Young Master Songbiao were good friends and often had contacts... It turned out to be his own cup bow and snake shadow, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
It was a false alarm, and the two little guys consciously made a joke, and suddenly blushed with shame.
Lu Jiayue took pity on the two of them, although they were timid, they had always been thoughtful and meticulous, so she smiled and said: "If you are really afraid of Jin Yuwei's people, if he comes again in the future, you just have to avoid it from a distance, and he doesn't know you left and right, so you don't have to worry too much." β

The next morning, Lu Jiayue went to Meng's main room to say hello.
I met Qu Song in the courtyard, and I just asked An, and I was about to go out.
"Was my sister scared yesterday?" Qu Song looked at Lu Jiayue with a smile.
Lu Jiayue was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly shook her head with a smile: "No, no..."
"That's good," Qu Song nodded, "I wonder what happened to my sister when she went to my study yesterday?" β
Lu Jiayue only said: "I saw that the plum blossoms in the Dark Fragrance Garden were blooming well, so I broke two branches and wanted to send them to my brother to enjoy." β
But he hid his true purpose and did not mention it.
Qu Song said with a smile: "Then please ask my sister to fold two more branches for me, send them to my house, and hand them over to your sister-in-law." β
Even if Qu Song didn't say it, Lu Jiayue didn't dare to go to the study in the front yard anymore.
What if I meet a vicious person again?
But the matter of Qu Ying and Liang Hao is not easy to delay, if you don't talk about Qu Song, who else can you talk to?
Seeing that Qu Song was about to leave, Lu Jiayue hurriedly asked, "Brother, did you come back when you were in charge of the lantern at night?" β
"Exactly," Qu Song smiled, "Is there something wrong with my sister?" β
"Let's talk to my brother in the evening," Lu Jiayue smiled sweetly, "Don't delay my brother to go to the yamen of the hospital." β
*
Lu Jiayue fidgeted for a whole day, and finally when it was time to hold the lamp at night, she held the plum blossom branches that the two maids of Yuxiang and Tangerine Xiang folded from the dark incense garden, and went to Qusong's courtyard.
Sending flowers is just an excuse, and the marriage between Qu Ying and Liang Hao is the right thing.
Qu Song's courtyard is in the west courtyard behind the main house of the Meng family, the round door of vermilion lacquer, the gray courtyard wall, standing outside, you can see a pine tree in the courtyard, green and luxuriant, there is a towering momentum.
A maid lit the wind lantern under the courtyard gate, and Lu Jiayue asked the maid with a smile: "Is my brother back?" β
The maid smiled back: "The eldest young master has been back for a whileβbut the third young master has just entered." β
Lu Jiayue was a little helpless.
I just want to talk to Cousin Song about Cousin Ying and Young Master Liang alone, why is it so difficult? Either there are guests in the study, or people are the first to go...
I couldn't help but bow my head and sigh.
Let's go back first, who knows how long Qu Zhang will stay in Cousin Song's house, he can't stand in the cold wind of the night and wait, right?
I haven't eaten dinner yet!
Lu Jiayue touched her empty belly, turned around and was about to leave, but she heard someone calling her behind her.
"Sister Lu!"
Looking back, it was not someone else, it was Qu Zhang.
