Lu Zhaoran was the first to react, he saw Bai Hibiscus returning safely, and a big stone fell in his heart, so he immediately rushed over, looked Bai Hibiscus up and down, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jin'er, it's great that you're okay!" ”

Bai Mujin nodded at him and said, "What's the matter, I haven't been gone for long, why did it get like this?" ”

Lu Zhaoran was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Lu Zhaoan and said, "It's him, he actually wants to set fire to his mother's house, this wolf-hearted thing!" ”

"You are the one who set fire to the house, you are a thief and a thief shouting to catch a thief, don't think that if you have the county lord to support you, you will have nothing to fear!" Not to be outdone, Lu Zhaoan retorted.

Lu Zhaoran said and scolded with a red face and a rough neck: "You bastard, how can I burn my mother's yard, only you ......"

"Big brother's words must also be grounded, you won't burn your mother's yard, will I? That's my mother, too! Lu Zhaoan said it rightly.

Lu Zhaoran smacked him fiercely and said, "Bah, I was deceived by you in the past, you bastard, your mother treats you well, you have harmed her again and again, if you still have a little conscience, just get away and don't bother your mother again!" ”

Lu Zhaoan snorted coldly and said, "If you want to stop me from coming to see my mother, it means that you have a weak heart, don't think I don't know, I saw my sister-in-law before my mother fainted that day, and you can't get rid of it!" ”

Lu Zhaoran was so angry that he was about to explode, and he raised his hand to hit Lu Zhaoan, but was stopped by Bai Muhibiscus: "Stop, uncle...... Don't mess around until things are figured out! ”

Lu Zhaoran forcibly withdrew his hand, and finally remembered Bai Mujian's words, and now Lu Zhaoan just wanted to provoke him and make him act excessively, so that he could continue to harm his mother.

Lu Zhaoan sneered twice, and deliberately provoked: "Look at what the county lord said, big brother, how can you casually accuse me of blame if you have no evidence and haven't figured out the matter?" ”

Lu Zhaoran gritted his teeth and looked at him, his eyes reddening. Bai Mujin went over and pulled his cuffs, gave him a look, and then asked, "Second uncle, why do you want to take people to make trouble with your eldest uncle in your grandmother's yard?" ”

Lu Zhaoan immediately put on a very aggrieved look and said: "It's not me who is making trouble, it's really the eldest brother who doesn't give up, and he still shouts and kills, I have to defend myself!" ”

Lu Zhaoran was just about to speak, but Bai Mujian stopped him again, and said with a smile: "Regarding the arson, this palace wants to hear the second uncle's thoughts first!" ”

Lu Zhaoan's little eyes turned slightly, and then he said with a bitter face: "County Lord, this is really a big wrong, the eldest brother said that he caught a slave sneaking around here, and there is a fire fold on his body, so he said that the slave set fire, even if it is arson, then how can it be pulled on me?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus asked again, "What about the person who was caught?" ”

Lu Zhaoran pointed to a small guy who was tied up and thrown aside, looking at the person who was dressed up, that is, an inferior handyman, who couldn't enter the backyard at all on weekdays.

Bai Muhibiscus walked over, kicked and kicked the person, and found that he was still alive, so he said: "Loosen him, this palace has something to ask!" ”

Lu Zhaoran was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Bai Mujian's meaningful eyes, he finally chose to be silent, and waved his hand to let the caught slave loosen his bind.

As soon as the man was free, he opened the cloth from his mouth, gasped for breath, and after a while seemed to finally relieve, and cried: "The slave is wronged, the slave did not set fire......

Lu Zhaoran shouted angrily and said, "You still said no, if my people hadn't found out in time, you would have set it on fire!" ”

The little guy cried and said: "Uncle, the minion's fire fold can't be hit at all, where can the fire be lit, don't believe it yourself, it can't be used at all!" ”

Lu Tian took the fire fold in his hand and tried it, but sure enough, he couldn't light it. A sneer appeared at the corner of Bai Mujian's mouth, and he said, "Let's not talk about this fire fold, what's your name?" Where is it on duty? Is it a family child? ”

The little guy looked at Bai Hibiscus such a tender female doll, and her heart was not as big as herself, and she knew that it was not a problem at a glance. He saved a little contempt and said: "The minion's real name is Luo Jiu, and everyone calls me Xiao Jiuzi." At...... The one who worked as a handyman in the uncle's yard was not a child, but he was sold into the Lu Mansion when he was a child, and he signed a death deed! ”

Lu Zhaoan hurriedly said: "Look, it's obviously the eldest brother's person, and the bias is going to depend on my head, I think it's a trick for a thief to shout and catch a thief, right?" ”

Lu Zhaoran glared at him angrily and scolded: "You talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I beat you all over the ground to find your teeth?" ”

Lu Zhaoan snorted, and said with a stiff neck: "You dare, don't think that if you have a loud voice and a high voice, you can turn black into white, and your fists can't solve the problem, big brother should explain clearly earlier, why can the handyman in your own yard run to your mother's yard!" ”

Bai Mujin continued: "Don't worry, the words of this palace haven't been asked yet, you said that you have been on duty in your uncle's courtyard, how long?" Are you on duty tonight? ”

Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "The slave has been on duty at the uncle's side for half a year, and ...... tonight Not a minion on duty! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus asked again, "Where were you doing things half a year ago?" ”

Luo Jiu thought for a while before he said: "I used to feed the horses in the stable, but later because of the cleverness and ability of the slaves, I was promoted to the uncle's yard by the steward!" ”

Luo Jiu was very proud when he said this, but Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly and continued to ask, "Well, how many years have you been feeding horses?" Do you remember how many pips there are in the stable of Lu Mansion? What are they? What horses does the uncle generally use, and what horses does the second master use? ”

Luo Jiu looked at Bai Hibiscus inexplicably, not knowing what she was always doing with these irrelevant questions, how could he remember it clearly after so long of things? Then he said: "There are about fifty horses on standby, the breed, it is nothing more than a Mongolian horse, a Dawan horse, as for what kind of horse the two masters use, the slave can't remember clearly!" ”

Bai Mujin nodded and said, "You shouldn't be on duty today, what are you doing in the yard of the old lady?" ”

Luo Jiu's face became flustered, and it took a long time before he said, "Slave...... The minion was greedy for a while, and wanted to come and steal something in exchange for some money! ”

"Oh...... Are you short of money? Bai asked, not offended by his answer.

Luo Jiu smiled bitterly twice, and said: "It's not that I'm short of money, it's that I love to play with money on weekdays, I lost a few days ago, and I was short of money, so I didn't control myself for a while, please let the county lord fall lightly!" ”

Bai Mujin ignored him, and only asked, "Then why don't you go to the uncle's yard to steal things, but instead go to the old lady to steal?" ”

Stealing something is much lighter than arson, and the most serious crime is selling, but arson is a capital crime, and this Luo Jiu is also smart.

Luo Jiu thought that as long as he fabricated a crime for himself, he could get away with it, but he didn't expect that there were always shrewd people who would not be easily fooled, but his brain was indeed clever, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Because the old lady's yard is relatively chaotic, the slave wants to fish in troubled waters!" ”

"This is a good reason, but it is also a problem, although the old lady's yard is chaotic, but it is heavily guarded, whether it is the uncle or the second master, including the palace, there are people staring at this courtyard, the old lady is unconscious, everyone is more alert than usual, I am afraid that someone will make trouble again, you are so smart, don't you know?" Bai Hibiscus asked with a smile.

The sweat on Luo Jiu's forehead began to seep out, and he stammered, "Slave...... The minion didn't think about it so much, just thinking that there must be something good in the old lady's yard! ”

"Who told you that the old lady has good things in her yard? Besides, you are a slave to play money, how many good things you need, any decoration in the uncle's yard is enough for you to spend half your life, are you still not satisfied? Uncle is now staring at the old lady's yard, but he is relaxed in his own house, you are here to steal, you think everyone is as smart as you? "Bai Hibiscus's problem is like a cannon, making Luo Jiu more and more unable to parry.

Bai Muhibiscus didn't give him a chance to refute, and continued: "You said that you have been on duty in the stable, feeding the horses full-time, such an important matter, you have not been in contact with it for half a year, and you have forgotten that the most in the Lu Mansion in the past two years is not the Dawan horse and the Mongolian horse, but the Yili horse with a steady pace and fast footsteps, and dare to say that he was promoted because of his good work, and you don't know which the horses of the uncle and the second master are, full of lies!" ”

Luo Jiu complained again and again, in fact, although he stayed in the stable for a long time, he was really not very careful, he often played with money and wine, and he didn't do much to feed the horses, all of which were thrown to the smaller ones than him to do, and he was only responsible for moving his mouth, so after a long time, he forgot about these things at all.

Luo Jiu hurriedly cried: "County Lord, wronged...... The small one is dizzy with the brain of playing with money, and there are people who forget it, so you can't just wronged the small one! ”

"Just wronged you? You reminded the palace, today the palace will wronged you, you dare to do bad intentions to the old lady, maybe the old lady was poisoned by you, today you don't admit your guilt, the palace still wants you to die! Bai Hibiscus said calmly, as simple as killing a slave and pinching an ant to death.

Luo Jiu collapsed to the ground and said again and again: "No...... The minions are just stealing, at most they are beaten and sold, there is no reason to want me to die, you can't do this! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus sneered and said, "Can't be like this? Let's see if you can, uncle, didn't you say that he set fire to the murder with a fire breaker? In that case, let's kill it, and if you keep such a sinister dog minion, sooner or later it will be a scourge! ”

Lu Zhaoran had already thought so, and said sharply: "Come on, drag Luo Jiu out for me, and beat him to death!" ”

Luo Jiu saw that people were really moving, and cried and said: "Don't, spare your life...... Uncle, you can't kill me for no reason! ”

Lu Zhaoan saw that the situation was not right, although it was nothing to kill a minion, but what he was afraid of was that Bai Muhibiscus was using a trick to make Luo Jiu tell the truth, so he pleaded in a low voice: "Big brother, killing a minion like this, although it is not a big deal, but it is not good in the end, our house has always been lenient to slaves, and there is no big mistake and he will never kill people, he hasn't stolen anything yet!" ”
