Chapter Seventy-Two: Lu Zhi Disappears
"Call the Second Young Master!" Zhang Jiusheng stepped over in a few big steps, grabbed Yun Sheng's arm with one hand, grabbed the quilt with the other, and threw her in directly.
"You stay honest with me, my health is not good, don't think about going to the ground." Yun Sheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhang Jiusheng looked serious and serious, he knew that he was not joking with himself, so he shrunk his neck.
"Mr. Nalu......"
"Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry about it, there must be something wrong with this person." Zhang Jiusheng touched his chin and said.
"Oh." Yun Sheng pouted, hid himself in the quilt, and clearly told Zhang Jiusheng that she was a little unhappy.
Zhang Jiusheng was also helpless, and said: "It's not that I won't let you check, it's that you have just woken up now, and your body is still unstable, so I'm worried about you." ”
After speaking, Zhang Jiusheng immediately shook his eyes at Guan Chu and Zhang Tong, who were sitting on the side and didn't dare to interject, and the two immediately received the order and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am the best at finding someone, you don't have to worry." ”
"Yes, yes, in case Mr. Lu accidentally burps, what about me?" Zhang Tong patted his chest.
"What are you talking about? The person hasn't been found yet, and if you don't see anyone alive or dead, Guan Chu, you go back first and tell a few brothers under your command, ask the inn junior well, find a painter to paint a painting of Lu Zhi, and search it door to door, and make the movement smaller. Zhang Tong, you are also ready to prepare, in case you ......" Zhang Jiusheng wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhang Tong nodded again and again: "I understand." ”
"What about me? What about me? What about me? Yun Sheng sat on the bed and was eager to try.
Zhang Jiusheng glanced at her, thought for a long time, and said, "If you really want to participate, get better quickly." ”
Yun Sheng thought about it, as if she had something to say, but when she saw Zhang Jiusheng's face, she still decided to shut up, she reached out and grabbed the quilt, covered herself, and shook her hand at the other three people standing in the room and said, "You guys go quickly, I'm going to rest." ”
The three of them looked at each other, all a little helpless.
Zhang Jiusheng didn't stay in Zhang's Mansion for long, and since he knew that Lu Zhi was missing, he had to go with him to investigate. He put Xiao Hengyan's portrait in Baishitang, after all, Xiao Hengyan is in the mansion, and he likes to walk around with nothing to do, according to the description of the subordinates, he should be looking for that thing in the Zhangfu, although he doesn't know who instructed him, but his purpose in staying in the Zhangfu must not be simple.
At this time, you can't startle the snake.
"Big Brother ......"
Before the person entered the Baishi Hall, Zhang Jiusheng's voice arrived first, Zhang Qiye was probing the pulse of a patient, and his eyes were quite warning and glanced at him, Zhang Jiusheng immediately closed his mouth and sat aside obediently to wait.
When Zhang Qiye came over after writing the prescription, Zhang Jiusheng just poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Tired brother, take a sip of tea." ”
Zhang Qiye took the tea and looked at Zhang Jiusheng inquiringly, he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this kid must have something to ask for himself, he has been very busy recently, there is a problem with Yunsheng's medicine, he still has to check the medical book to see if there is any other medicine that can cure the poison in Yunsheng's body.
So, Zhang Qiye planned to make a preemptive strike: "I heard that Mr. Lu is missing. ”
"Brother, you found out so quickly? Who told you that? Zhang Jiusheng was surprised.
Zhang Qiye looked at him as if he was looking at a fool, and said, "Naturally, it's Guan Chu, can he be unhappy with what you tell him?" ”
Zhang Jiusheng nodded again and again: "I've told him several times, I don't need to tell you about the things in the yamen." ”
"I asked him, when he was looking for Xiao Hengyan all over the city before, he was not as anxious as he was today, did Mr. Lu have a big incident?"
Zhang Jiusheng hesitated and rubbed his fingers: "I'm also a little uncertain, Lu Zhi told Xiao Er on the first day he stayed at the inn that if he suddenly stopped eating at the inn one day, let Xiao Er report to the official immediately." ”
Zhang Qiye frowned, took a sip of tea, and said: "Actually, I have long guessed that there is something wrong with this Lu Zhi, he is the first person to find out that the Xiao family was destroyed, according to my previous understanding of Lu Zhi, he is a person who does not talk much, has simple interpersonal relationships, treats people and things well, and is willing to help others, he sounds like a good person." But why did he go about the destruction of the Xiao family in a relatively lively restaurant in a relatively lively restaurant, and he seemed to have added fuel and vinegar to say a lot of other things, causing the people to highly respect the murderer of the Xiao family's extermination case, but to be malicious to the government that wanted to find out the truth? ”
"Big brother, do you even know that I was being chased and beaten?"
Zhang Qiye rolled his eyes: "Are you really the eldest brother who doesn't listen to things outside the window?" ”
Zhang Jiusheng pouted: "Big brother, in fact, I seem to have walked into a fork in the road, I don't know what to do next." ”
"Well, you ignored the role of Lu Zhi from the beginning."
"But I can't find him now."
Zhang Qiye sighed lightly, put a hand on the top of Zhang Jiusheng's head, and said, "You have to be mentally prepared, Lu Zhi is a cautious person, since he can say something like that to Xiao Er before he checks into the inn, it means that he is likely to have an accident now." ”
Zhang Jiusheng clenched his fists, he didn't know this.
The words were divided into two ends, after Zhang Jiusheng and the three of them left, Yun Sheng did not rest on the bed very peacefully, but after confirming that they had all left Zhangfu to do their own business, she quickly jumped out of bed, dressed neatly, and sneaked out of Zhangfu.
Originally, she wanted to remind Zhang Jiusheng about Lu Zhi's identity and origin, but as soon as she saw Zhang Jiusheng's face, she thought, she has to investigate this matter herself, she has to help Zhang Jiusheng, she can't just lie down and not do things, and she didn't come to Zhang Mansion to be the eldest lady.
Yunsheng's connections are relatively narrow in Fan County, and the only one she thinks of who can help her without telling Zhang Jiusheng is Zhang Qiye, after all, Zhang Qiye can think more long-term than Zhang Jiusheng, and he also thinks carefully, and it is more insidious.
Thinking of this, Yun Sheng's footsteps had already stepped into the door of Baishitang not long after.
Zhang Qiye seemed to have guessed that Yun Sheng would come, so as soon as she entered the door, the medicine boy from Baishitang took her to the inner courtyard, and Zhang Qiye was drying medicinal herbs in the inner courtyard, and when he saw her coming, he just smiled.
"How does it feel?"
"Much better."
"Come here, I'll take your pulse."
Yun Sheng nodded, sat obediently at the stone table, and consciously rolled up his sleeves.
Zhang Qiye's fingers were a little cool, because he had been dealing with medicinal herbs all year round, there was always a faint smell of medicine on his body, which smelled very good, and it made people feel at ease when they smelled it.
The two didn't speak, and Yun Sheng dragged his chin with his other hand and looked at Zhang Qiye quietly.
Zhang Qiye's appearance is not as angular as Zhang Jiusheng's, probably because he has seen too much life and death, which makes him look quite soft, and he treats people and things like a breeze, maintaining a certain safe distance, but it does not make people feel difficult to approach.
"Hmm." He replied softly, withdrew his hand, and put down Yun Sheng's sleeve intimately, and said, "It's much better than I imagined, but now I start to feel that the medicine I gave you before is not a problem, but it is starting to work." Although that teacup hurt you, it won't cause you to be in a coma for three days, and the wound is not big, I'll change the medicine for you again. ”
"Okay." Yun Sheng didn't ask anything else, she believed Zhang Qiye.
Zhang Qiye looked at her, suddenly tilted his head, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and suddenly there was a naughty meaning: "Why don't you ask me, where did this medicine come from?" According to your experience in the capital, you should be able to see that the medicine I gave you is something that Fan County can't provide. ”
Yun Sheng pursed his lips: "This medicine came from the capital, and I knew it from the day the second young master gave it to me." However, as for who gave it, I can probably guess who it is, but I can't be sure. But since the eldest young master believes in this medicine and dares to give it to me, what reason do I have not to believe it? ”
Hearing Yun Sheng say this, Zhang Qiye was a little weak-hearted, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "You are so honest, I am a little embarrassed, after all, when I gave you medicine, I had no bottom in my heart, and I was even prepared to kill you." ”
This Yun Sheng didn't think about it so much, she just chose to believe it.
"I'm here today to ask the eldest young master to do me a favor."
"I know what you want to do." Zhang Qiye looked at her, his eyes were unfathomable, like a deep pool that he would fall into at a glance: "You want to check Lu Zhi yourself, but your network is narrow, and the information you can find is limited, you can't go to Zhang Tong or Guan Chu to help you, because they may tell Zhang Jiusheng, but I won't." ”
Yun Sheng was embarrassed: "The eldest young master is so smart. ”
"That's natural, otherwise why would you come to me without telling Sheng'er? Sooner or later, he's going to be by you. Zhang Qiye said with a smile.
"Is the eldest young master still helping me?" Yun Sheng smiled.
"Help, I've helped with such a big thing as saving your life, and of course I've helped with this little thing." Zhang Qiye stretched, got up and continued to pick up the medicinal materials, and asked, "What do you want to check Lu Zhi?" ”
Yun Sheng scratched his head and thought for a while: "Lu Zhi and Xiao Ting'an are distant relatives, as far as I know, Xiao Ting'an asks him to paint once a year. Other than that, they have nothing else in common. I have seen Lu Zhi's paintings, which are indeed very good, but there are many people in Fan County who have better painting skills than him, and Xiao Tingan is not a person who knows how to miss old feelings. ”
Zhang Qiye nodded.
"So, I wonder where Lu Zhi lived before? In addition to Xiao Ting'an, who else has frequent contact with? Why does Xiao Tingan ask him to paint once a year? What's the point? Yun Sheng paused, and continued: "I still want to know some things about Xiao Ting'an, such as why he has been staying in Fan County for so many years, his business has been doing a lot of business?" ”
"You're very thoughtful."
Yun Sheng smiled: "There are a lot of doubts in this case, I think if the murderer is just a victim under the Xiao family to take revenge, then it is too innocent for other people's lives." I have been to see the scene, and I have also figured out the murderer's intentions, if it is just revenge, then he should go straight to Xiao Ting'an, but he entered through the gate, first killed the porter, and then the guard who patrolled at night, he just wanted to destroy the door, and the others were innocent and had nothing to do with him at all. Moreover, the murderer seems to be very familiar with the Xiao family, and the path he walked can be seen without the slightest hesitation and search, he is just going to kill people, and the target is not Xiao Ting'an. ”
Zhang Qiye was silent for a long time, and then said, "You observed very carefully, have you told Sheng'er these words?" ”
