He Angelica couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this, and said that "poor couples mourn everything", but Pearl and Lu Zhizhou, a halfway couple and a wealthy family, also ran into trouble this time.

At that time, Lu Zhizhou was passionately pursuing pearls and wanted a spouse, and she and Qing'er also questioned Lu Zhizhou's feelings, could it be that he was eyeing Pearl's net worth of a thousand taels? But later I heard that Lu Zhizhou not only became an official and achieved five grades, but his family was also a side line of the hairpin family, with a talent like him, it would be okay to find a noble lady with a dowry of four or five thousand. Later, when he learned that his parents were dead, he felt that he was a good medicine for the emotionally traumatized pearl, so he pretended to be a matchmaker and matched them.

In this marriage, He Angelica felt that Lu Zhizhou had picked up a treasure, married a wife and a virtuous wife, and his family background and appearance could not guarantee a long and good life, but marrying a lady with a good temperament, intelligence and virtuous could help Lu Zhizhou for a lifetime. However, Pearl herself is a little inferior, and she often has a sad complex, which is much more introverted than before she got married. This time, as soon as the widow of this Ji came to Lu Mansion and occupied the power of the family, the pearl suffered from gains and losses again, so that the secret black hand succeeded.

"How? Do you have a clue? Lu Jiangbei exchanged two sentences with Zhan Zhutou, which was really much more effective than Lu Zhizhou, who was in chaos. Zhan Zhutou stopped mentioning the arrest of the prisoner first, ran to maintain order, drove away half of the people who were watching the excitement in Lu's mansion, and then moved the thistle cherries that Lu Jiangbei had made holes in the air to the root of the wall on the side, vacated the open space, and put the corpses of the thistle widow and Huaihua out, waiting for Shangguan to come and inspect them.

He Angelica shook his head and said: "The two of them have no clue, Lu Zhizhou doesn't know about these women in the family; Sister Pearl was short-spirited, and she didn't even look carefully at the girls who were waiting around her, and I estimated that the bag of arsenic in the room was hidden by them. ”

Lu Jiangbei helped her tie the hat and streamer again, and asked softly: "Are you tired, cold or not, thirsty or not?" He made her a little uncomfortable, and he smiled again at her embarrassed look, and acted innocent to himself. He Angelica only came back to his senses, he deliberately did this in front of others, just waiting to see that she was uncomfortable.

Lu Zhizhou on the side didn't recognize Lu Jiangbei, but he recognized the python robe lining, the jade belt around his waist and the flying phoenix boots he was wearing, all of which were the exclusive clothing colors of the generals of the Jinyi Guard, which belonged to a sign of privilege. Seeing his gentle and sympathetic and soft words to Miss He, Lu Zhizhou was strange, stepped forward to talk to Lu Jiangbei for a few official words, and thanked him for his help, before saying something that he didn't tell He Angelica: "That arsenic, we have a lot of it at home, and there are a few bags in the firewood room in the backyard." ”

He Angelica was taken aback, and the pearl in the soft sedan chair was also surprised and said that he had never known that there was arsenic at home, and asked where the arsenic came from. Lu Zhizhou vaguely explained that it was a custom for their ancestors to put two bags of arsenic in the firewood room at home, and his aunt and parents knew it, but he didn't tell the newly married pearl of the Lu family, for fear that she would have something to think after hearing it.

He Angelica was amused at first when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he felt suspicious, what kind of family is this Lu family, and he actually set such strange rules? And who is the arsenic prepared in the firewood room for? A rat stealing firewood, or someone who lives in the house? There is an old news in the pre-Qin period, which is that the descendants of the Ying family multiplied in the Beijing division of the Han Dynasty, and they were afraid that one day their identity would be found out, and the family would be persecuted, so they collected a large amount of poison at home in case the whole family took poison and died together. Later, there was a suspicious family member, whose identity was not revealed and was recognized as being exposed, led the whole family to commit collective suicide, resulting in a tragedy.

But the Lu family is a well-known family, and Lu Zhizhou's family is still a side lineage, so it can't be the same as the situation of the Ying family, why do you hide drugs at home? Strange......

She only felt a warmth on her body, and when she came back to her senses, it turned out that Lu Jiangbei saw that her cloak was taken off and warmed by Pearl, so he took off his scarlet cloak and wrapped her carefully. And at this time, more than a dozen purple-clothed officials appeared on the left, and the evil came abruptly, as if they had just emerged from the ground. They are, factory guards, eunuchs? Lu Jiangbei asked them to come over to help, it is not considered to be using power for personal gain.

Thinking like this, Lu Jiangbei had already pulled her to sit on the pear wood red drawer bench behind the screen and table set up by the factory guard. There are even more diligent people who offer medicinal jujube tea, hand stoves and rain flower incense dings, and quickly set up screens on the other three sides, leaving only a small gap for one person to enter and exit, and the rest are blocked, which is equivalent to setting up a temporary rest hut in the courtyard of the Lu family.

The rosewood lacquered wooden screen is not the Lu family's thing, and Lu Zhizhou doesn't know where it came from, obviously just now, the crowd was crowded one after another, and even a doctor couldn't be called in, why can even large pieces of furniture be carried at will now? Lu Zhizhou looked back, it turned out that the head of the exhibition had been effective in maintaining law and order, and the number of people standing in the front courtyard of the Lu Mansion was less than half, and it was a lot quieter, and most of the people went to wait outside the mansion to listen to the letter. It was He Angelica's idea not to take it all away, because the earlier troubles did not have a good impact on Pearl, and even if he was not guilty when he turned around, it was inevitable that someone would say irresponsible things, so it was necessary to leave some neighbors, and wait for the case to be clear and refuted the rumors to Pearl, indicating that she was not an intolerable evil woman.

Lu Zhizhou glanced at the shadow in the water glass inlaid on the screen, and then at the tough guy Zhan Tou Catcher, at the moment obedient like a tame dog, Lu Zhizhou was very strange in his heart, he had never heard that there was a general relative like Lord Lu in Luofu, how could he give a handkerchief to Miss He, and he still knew such a character, and the relationship between the two of them was ......

Pearl's soft sedan chair was parked in the corner of the wall on the inside side, and the original situation of pearl fainting was as He Angelica said, and people were depressed and excited in their hearts.

Now that it is quiet, she also feels a lot better, with He Angelica in charge, she even saves from worrying, only squints and pretends to sleep, but she listens to Lu Zhizhou outside the sedan chair asking her about the origin of Lord Lu, because she replied: "I only heard that Lord Lu is the Jinyi Guard in Beijing, I don't know the specifics, but they met three years ago." I haven't mentioned it to you in the past, my sister is a person with great skills and methods, and the one thing she left behind back then made Taishan be scolded in the water business view, and she couldn't stay anymore. At that time, I sympathized with Taishan, but now that I think about it, I also said that my sister was too light. ”

Lu Zhizhou and Pearl just told He Angelica what happened at home together, and after comparing the things that the husband and wife knew, Lu Zhizhou gradually understood that he had wronged Pearl about his ex-husband; And Pearl has long understood that Lu Zhizhou's personality is the most rough man, the thistle cherry and the locust flower are all their own problems, and they have nothing to do with Lu Zhizhou, as his confidant and wife, he shouldn't be angry with him for these things, but the nameless anger of pregnant women is too much, so they made trouble in this field. Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, it is better to release the suspicion earlier, so Pearl took the initiative to apologize, Lu Zhizhou also apologized, and the husband and wife only apologized to each other endlessly in the corner, which gradually evolved into mutual complaints, and even forgot about the surrounding environment.

And on the red drawer bench, He Angelica finally couldn't help but be annoyed: "Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?" Why are you hugging in public, what kind of heart do you have? "Didn't he practice the pure heart trick of breaking love and abstaining from desire?

Lu Jiangbei frowned and asked with a smile: "Girl, what are you talking about, I only asked if I was cold, and I put a cloak on you, how could I have hugged you?" ”

"Then why are you standing so close to me? It's all pasted together just now. Now with the crowd on his back, he sat far away.

"I'm your uncle, so I naturally want to protect you when there are a lot of people."

He Danggui felt awkward in his heart for a while, and finally said: "Don't treat me as a child in the future, I have promised others, and suddenly I have multiple uncles, and I can't get used to it." ”

"So you mean, when you get used to it, I'll be able to 'cuddle' you?"

He Angelica frowned: "If you tease me again, I won't dare to be warm with you anymore." That's right...... I've read the note you left, thank you. The blood you want, I'll give it to you when it's convenient for me. Or is it that after drinking the 'earthly Meng Po soup', you don't even have to worry about your heart's blood? "Forgot about everything anyway, right?

"Taking the heart blood is also bad for you, just use the virgin blood, I'll wait for you and the little seven cave room to get the candle later," Lu Jiangbei smiled, "It seems that you still haven't read the book I gave you in the villa." He took a sip of jujube tea and asked, "How is this case decided?" It was the Ji family who died, and the Ji family's daughter was standing on the wall over there, and there were also several subordinates who had testified against the Qin family, and I had already asked people to detain and torture them, they were all new to the Lu Mansion, and they were bought by the Ji family to see the Qin family push the acacia flower down the well. As for how Huaihua and Ji died, they probably really don't know anything - their toes were broken by a small copper hammer, and there is no reason to lie anymore. ”

“……”

He Angelica secretly said in his heart, I heard that the factory guard's style of acting is fast, ruthless, and accurate, and I only saw it today, and the iron-blooded weapon dedicated to investigating and handling major cases of corruption and rebellion is used to deal with small civil litigation cases, not only killing chickens with a knife, but also a little cruel. Asking Lu Jiangbei for help, did she do something wrong? Under the face of Lu Jiangbei's eldest brother next door, there was also an indifferent and resolute side, which made her realize that she had really misjudged him in the past. And the people she misjudged were more than one Lu Jiangbei.

"Don't worry, the place of torture is outside the Lu Mansion, and no one will see it, and when they come to confess later, they will wear iron shoes, sit in a prison car, and then numb their tongues, and no one will see the clues." Lu Jiangbei thought that she was worried about this, afraid that the torture would force a confession to reveal the truth, public opinion was still unfavorable to the Qin family, and Lu Fu was still poked in the back. He took another sip of jujube tea and asked, "Have you figured out the clues of this case?" If it's too much trouble and the evidence is incomplete, then there's no need to picket carefully, and I'll decide the case for you and the county magistrate. ”

"My lord, can you decide the case, right here?" He Angelica raised his eyes and looked at him, "Do you have the privilege to cross regions and deal with major cases of human life in Yangzhou?" ”

"Jinyiwei has always had privileges, not to mention that I came to Yangzhou in the name of the Son of Heaven - Yangzhou deposed as an envoy and Jianghuai inspector. Originally, the former should have let Lord Geng take the role, but his old illness broke out, and his family went to recuperate, so I came to Yangzhou as a double official. Lu Jiangbei said, "It's just a 'one-time' one-time, and I took it off when I returned to Beijing, but now it just comes in handy." Angelica said, do you want those subordinates to take the blame for this case, or do you even solve the problem of Miss Thistle and remove a future trouble for the Qin family? ”

He Angelica crossed his fingers and calculated, and came to the conclusion that his official rank was two orders higher than that of the Yangzhou prefect, no wonder Zhan Catcher didn't buy anyone's account, only his account...... Looking up at his countless elegance and endless gentle face, He Angelica only felt that there was an unknown ghost living in his body, so he could say these words that were careless about human life with a smile. Or, he had never shown his butcher's knife to the people, and this time, it was she who recklessly pulled him as a foreign aid to make the sleeping tiger open its eyes and bite people. How does it end now? If someone dies in vain, does it count as she has blood on her hands and opens a killing ring?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Jiangbei smiled, "My words scared you?" I'm sorry, but I thought you liked this 'simple and straightforward' way of communicating, and I'd heard from our informant in Luofu that the tricks you used on Sun were also a set of hard kung fu work that seemed to be quite arrogant. ”

He Angelica was stunned, and he didn't know whether he was surprised by the news that Jinyiwei had planted an informant in Luofu, or he defended himself first, and he couldn't complain about his ruthlessness because the Sun family was the result of Sun's self-destruction. What happened in Luo's family is very different from the situation in the Lu Mansion now, and it is absolutely impossible to use it as a reference, and it is impossible to charge those who have never killed anyone with murder, in that case, she will hurt herself.

"Angelica, you are not surprised, why are we informants in Luofu, are you not afraid of Jinyiwei's next target, is it your Luofu?" Lu Jiangbei asked with a smile, "Don't you intercede for them?" If you ask for mercy, maybe I'll show favoritism and open up to them. ”

He Angelica didn't know what was in his mind, so he immediately lowered his head and replied softly: "I only protect a few people, and I don't care about the rest." If there really is that day, uncle, you can watch it, I naturally don't dare to say much, and I don't dare to complain. ”

"And what about the case now?" Lu Jiangbei paused before asking.

"I guessed a possibility, but I was afraid that saying it would hurt Lu Fu's face......" He Angelica said hesitantly, "Therefore, I want to take people's lives for a while...... I don't know what my uncle thinks, can he let me arbitrarily decide a major murder case. ”
