I watched a joke in vain. As soon as the Lu family and his party walked outside the gate of the trial court, they heard a thunderclap, and then a drop of rain fell from the sky.

"Quick, get in the car!" Lu Rongyuan covered his head and walked behind them, and trotted to the side of the carriage parked opposite, and when the family got into the carriage, everyone was somewhat damp.

Lu Jingshan poured the tea and said happily: "I really don't know how Fang Qiao did it, do you say that he wrote the letter?" I think it seems that he can do something, so I will say, no matter how many of your portraits and letters are still there in the past thirteen years, I must have burned them a long time ago. ”

Despite the rain, Lu Shi still had a smile on his face, took out a handkerchief to wipe his face with Yu Yu, and said, "Who knows, maybe yes." She didn't seem to have much interest in continuing to discuss the matter, and the conversation changed. After this rain, it will snow again. ”

It is already the end of October, and in previous years, the snow near Chang'an was around December, and there would be ten days and a half months, which was more than twice as cold as now.

After Lu Ronghe handed out the coat under the soft bunk to Lu Yao, who was driving, he took two hand stoves and stuffed them respectively to Yi Yu and Lu Shi, smiled in a mixed voice, and said, "But no, Lan Niang, do you remember when we were children, we had to buckle the ice bucket together whenever it snowed?" ”

Lu Shi wiped Yuyu's hand with a beating, his eyes softened, and he recalled: "Well, the ice bucket buckled by my father is the most beautiful, hehe, but I have to play with my mother behind my back, otherwise she will find that my eldest sister and I are so cold that our hands are red, and I will punish my father and brothers in a moment——"

Yi Yu held the hand stove, accompanied by the sound of rain outside the car, listening to them talk about those past, it was interesting, but suddenly a strong force came from the side, the car wall shook, a few screams sounded in the ears, from the side stretched out a pair of hands to hold themselves firmly, after a whirlwind of the world, and then opened their eyes. I saw that everything in the car in front of me tilted over, and the rain swept in through the wide open doors and windows, dripping cold on my face.

Looking up, Lu Shi, who was holding herself in her arms, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, so frightened that she hurriedly wanted to get up from her, but as soon as her hands and feet moved, she heard Lu Rongyuan, who was behind their mother and daughter, snort and said:

"First, don't move."

"Mother, uncle...... How are you guys? ”

As soon as Yi Yu's voice fell, a figure appeared next to the inclined car door, and said in a deep voice: "Master, miss, don't panic, I'll get you out." ”

The first to be carefully pulled out by Lu Yao were Lu Jingshan and Lu Ronghe, who were lying by the door and suffering some minor injuries, and then the mother and daughter of the widow, Lu Rongyuan lost blood because of his head hitting the window frame, and he could only temporarily lie down in the crooked car to avoid the rain after he simply stopped the bleeding.

It was raining a lot outside, and Yi Yu supported Lu Shi, wiping off a layer of moisture on her face with the back of her hand, and carefully touching her up and down.

Turning his head and sweeping over, he saw the corner of a narrow street. The two carriages were swaying over on the side of the road, their frames broken, and both horses were gone, and the carriage was clearly not in a better condition than on their side, and the coachman was lying half-dead under the wall, and the whole carriage was turned upside down.

Lu Yao's appearance was extremely embarrassed, when the two cars collided on the street corner just now, he could definitely abandon the car with his light skills, but he was stunned and held the reins firmly in his hand, and finally didn't let their car roll on the slippery rain, but his entire left arm was dislocated, although he forcibly connected it, but at the moment it was still hanging weakly by his side, and because he fell into the rain pit with the carriage, he looked like a water ghost who had just been salvaged from the lake.

This T-shaped street corner is very prone to accidents, it is said that it is absolutely impossible for Lu Yao to drive this kind of fork, but on a rainy day, it is inevitable to encounter the kind of crazy car that suddenly came out of the corner just now.

Lu Yao walked to the side of the overturned carriage, reached in with one hand, fished out a woman covered in blood without mercy, threw it on the side of the road, and made a companion with the coachman, and then lifted the curtain and beckoned Yu Yu to come first in the carriage with the wheels up to take shelter from the rain.

Lu Shi hesitated to look at the two people lying on the side of the road and moaning, but was helped into the car by Yu Yu with a black face, just now when she hit it, she looked up and saw Lu Shi with a pale face, she was almost scared to death, where is there any leisure to care about the perpetrator, it is good not to go up and kick them alone.

After Lu Yao waited for them to hide inside, he had always had anger on his honest face. With a stiff face, he walked to the coachman and the woman, squatted down, grabbed the woman with one hand, and pulled her closer, and said, "Say, did you do it on purpose?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, big, bold, I'm... Mrs. Wang, you, ahem..."

Lu Yao furrowed his eyebrows, and searched her without hesitation, the woman was so ashamed that she almost vomited blood on his face, and looked for the coachman again, and confirmed that the two were just relatives of a Beijing official surnamed Wang, and they were not suspicious characters, so he threw the things he felt on them again, and turned around and walked to the carriage where Lu and them were.

"Second master, madam, I'll go to the nearby post house to ask for a car, you wait for me for a while."

At this moment, a carriage happened to pass by, and after slowing down and stopping, the coachman whispered a few times inside, and the curtain was lifted, and an old man in the car who was over fifty years old glanced at the situation outside, and hesitantly said to Lu Yao, who was standing on the side of the car watching him:

"This little brother. It was a car crash, but someone was hurt? “

When Lu Yao saw his clothes, he knew that he was a Beijing official, and bowed his hand and said: "Something went wrong, my master's family is from the Huaiguo Mansion, who is this adult?" ”

The old man was surprised, first reported his family name Liang, and after hearing that someone was injured, he offered to drive them back first, Lu Yao saw that there was really no one around here, and asked Lu Ronghe. And he answered.

It's just that the old man's carriage is smaller, and he can't let the owner of the car get down at most, so at Lu Ronghe's insistence, Lu Rongyuan, who was the most seriously injured, as well as Yu Yu and the sprained Lu got into the car.

Lu Shi told Lu Yao a few words, and then left in the carriage first.

***

Just after the collision on Yiyu's side, another half an hour passed, and it was nearly noon, Lu Zhi and Lu Zhongzhi had just left the Criminal Department, and the grandfather and grandson were personally sent to the carriage by the official of the Criminal Department with an umbrella.

Lu Zhi poured the two teacups on the table, brought them to Lu Zhongzhi, and asked, "But I checked it, did Fang Qiao move his hands and feet?" ”

Because a student brand stayed in the criminal department for a night, it was really a bit wronged, Lu Zhongzhi let people figure it out overnight, only to know that Lu Zhi's brand was picked up by a student of Guozijian, he ate in the tavern at noon and landed there again, and Chanayama was made by a group of Turks in the afternoon, which affected Lu Zhi.

This incident was an accident on the surface, but Lu Zhi and Lu Zhongzhi both knew that it was so simple, and it was clear who wanted to deliberately stumble the grandfather and grandson and prevent them from appearing in today's Dali Temple trial, and this target was directed at Fang Qiao.

Lu Zhongzhi said: "This can't be said, this thing is very clean, and there is no trace left," he stroked his beard and smiled: "I don't know what happened to Dali Temple, if he really didn't find that the calligraphy and painting were manipulated, then the ugliness would be big, and it would be fishy." ”

On the way to the Criminal Department last night, Lu Zhi had calmly told him about calligraphy and painting, but he didn't mention which god he was invited to, and he didn't say when he started planning, Lu Zhongzhi is a person who understands. knew that his grandson must have calculated him early, but he couldn't get angry at all.

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, he will never find out." "Even if he doesn't know Shen Jiantang's ability, he still has confidence in King Wei, "If things go well, I'm afraid that Lord Liu will already go to the emperor to 'complain' at this time, and the interrogation should be delayed until tomorrow morning, and he can't take out anything about the portrait and handwriting, I'm just afraid that he will lose his face and ask someone to help his mother have a physical examination." ”

After all, they are a couple who have lived for several years, and it is not clear what is in each other?

Lu Zhongzhi's smile suddenly narrowed, and he said with a fierce face: "He dares, I am not present today, no one can stop him, and in the next two days, as long as I stand in the hall, who dares to make trouble with the name of my Lu family's wife!" ”

Looking at his reaction with satisfaction, Lu Zhi said: "The emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, now that there is such a big trouble, as long as we survive these three days, he can't prove our identity, and no matter what he does in the future, it will be useless." This time, I was careless, I didn't expect someone to borrow a brand to make a fuss. ”

The two chatted all the way to the gate of the Guogong Mansion, the carriage stopped, Lu Zhi was about to reach out and lift the curtain, but was grabbed from the outside, seeing Lu Yao, who was embarrassed, his eyelids jumped, and before he could open his mouth, his face changed greatly because of his next sentence-

"Master, young master, subordinates are incompetent, and Mrs. and Miss are gone."

Before Old Man Lu was stunned, he saw Lu Zhi grab Lu Yao's collar, drag him to him, and said in a dark voice: "Gone?" ”

Lu Yao looked at the hideous look on Lu Zhi's face instantly, held back the inexplicable coldness on the back of his neck, and said, "Damn it, Miss Madam and the eldest master got into someone else's carriage, but half an hour ago, only the eldest master was sent back." ”

"Lu Yao! You see, what the hell is going on! Lu Zhongzhi finally understood, the Lu family and the relict jade were gone!

Listening to Lu Zhongzhi's roar, Lu Zhi's somewhat cloudy brain just now was a lot clearer, he took a light breath, his hands were no longer trembling, he slowly let go of Lu Yao's clothes, and while moving very lightly to help him smooth out, he said in a gentle tone:

"Come, tell me everything from beginning to end." (！ )
