Chapter 394: Whose Circle, Whose Set

(pink 1541 plus)

The matter of Cheng Biting Jinye's breaking into the prison of the Ministry of Execution and taking away a prisoner was transmitted to the eyes and ears of all the people in Chang'an City in just half an hour, and some people were shocked and some were suspicious.

On the one hand, he didn't want to let go of half of the suspected murderers of his son, on the other hand, he felt that Lu Zhi was unlikely to be the murderer of his son, but it was more likely that the Oriental Pearl killed his son because of personal affairs.

"Knock knock" A knock on the door interrupted his train of thought, and after a "come in", it was his eldest son, Princess Changle's concubine, Changsun Chong, who hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Daddy!" Eldest Sun Chong's face was ugly, and he covered the door with his backhand, so he rushed forward and asked, "Why did I hear the rumor that the second brother was killed!?" ”

I have to say that this secret kung fu can be done at home, and after two days, this horse master only learned about the murder of his own brother.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't think about how long he could hide it from them, and after sighing, he told the eldest grandson Chong's murder in his pale face, and after the eldest grandson Chong shed a few tears, he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji was going to tell the two suspects, his expression changed several times, and the last slap was on the case, and he said fiercely:

"That's right, it's that kid, he must have killed the second brother!"

Seeing the puzzlement shown by the eldest grandson Wuji, he explained:

"Dad, you don't know, this Lu Zhi and the second brother, no, it should be said that the second brother and I have had a holiday, and now that it's here, my son is not afraid that you will scold when I say it, this matter is going to be said three years ago, when I was still studying in the Guozijian, Lu Zhi is just a poor family who came in by luck, and he was inevitably bullied by the children of the Shi clan, and his son was very impressed by that kid because of one thing......"

After listening to the memories of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was already extremely ugly, and he didn't care about scolding him as the eldest son, he got up and circled back and forth in the study, and said:

"It was you...... According to what you say, then Lu Zhi has a grudge against Zhuo'er, so he will take the opportunity to commit murder, wanting to rely on Dongfang Mingzhu, and not wanting to be seen in the scene of him arguing with Zhuo'er in Kuixing Tower, and involve himself? ”

"It must be so, yes!"

"Hiss-no," the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, "No, this thing is strange, Lu Zhi, although my father can't find out who he is helping behind his back, but he knows that he is an extremely smart person, how could he kill Lian'er, no, it's not him." ”

"Daddy!" The eldest grandson screamed and disagreed: "It's impossible to say what this person will do, think about it, if it continues like this, and no evidence can be found, then the Oriental Pearl must be used as a scapegoat, and he Lu Zhi will be at large." ”

"But he didn't have a reason to do that."

"Why not, Dad, think about it, Oriental Pearl is the concubine of King Wei who has not passed through the door, if it is because of this matter and the final verdict, wouldn't our family want to offend King Wei! Although Dongfang You is old, his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the government and the opposition, and once he has a grudge with him, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble. In my opinion, even if it wasn't his Lu Zhi voluntarily, it was also instructed by the people behind him Lu Zhi. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji listened to his analysis, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was some truth, and temporarily dispelled the doubts in his heart, focusing on Lu Zhi's body, and said:

"Okay, you go and arrange this matter, see if you can find another son-in-law who still remembers the incident back then to testify, and wait for the retrial of the Criminal Department, and then you will ...... As for Lu Zhi, tomorrow morning, my father will ask the emperor to punish Cheng Biting Jin, that reckless man. ”

On a winter night, the cold wind was biting, and Yi Yu came out of front of the Wei Palace, and sat in the carriage waiting outside the door with a calm face.

Li Tai left Beijing for Luoyang the day before yesterday, and his return date was uncertain.

She didn't expect that the man who said not long ago that he wanted to be where he was, would leave without saying hello. It's okay to go, one is the Oriental Pearl, the other is her eldest brother, she just begged him not to help, and now no one is there, isn't it just what she wants.

After taking the car back to Cheng's house, she first met Cheng Yanjin and the doctor who were waiting for her in the front hall, and after asking about Lu Zhi's situation, she asked her to take her to the guest room where Lu Zhi was temporarily staying.

Entered the living room, pushed open the door of the room, and saw the back of Cheng Xiaofeng guarding the bed, she walked over and patted her shoulder, but saw her turn her head to reveal a tearful face.

"Little, little jade."

"Sister Xiaofeng, why don't you go to sleep yet."

"I'm not worried, Ah Zhi can't wake up..., how is he hurting, my father and the doctor refuse to tell me, I'm so worried..."

"It's okay, my eldest brother is in good health, he's just tired, you go back to the room to rest, as soon as you wake up, he will also wake up." Cheng Xiaofeng is a good girl, when this matter is over, if his eldest brother is safe, she will definitely help and try to see if she can match the two of them.

Cheng Xiaofeng left his personal maid to wait for him after a while of persuasion by the maid, and then went back to the room, with the help of the maid, the maid simply cleaned it, changed the clothes on his body, ate something, took care of himself cleanly, and took a pill with water to nourish the gods with a sleeping effect, and then sat down on the crescent stool next to the bed.

This was the second time she had seen Lu Zhi's sleeping face, with scratched cheeks, dark blue corners of his mouth, some damp black hair snaking on the red and swollen side of his face, she reached out and probed his forehead, fortunately, the pill worked, he did not have a fever.

Covering him with the quilt, she half-lay on the edge of the bed, looked at his side face, slowly closed her eyes, and let a bitter tear slip from the corner of her eye.

"Big brother, I'm sorry."

Yu had a long dream, in which she sat on a red boat, the deep purple sky was like the sea, and there was no end in sight, and she stubbornly paddled and paddled endlessly, trying to find the other side, until a ray of light flowed from the sky.

She slowly opened her eyes, facing a toppling window, the morning sun squeezed in through the window, the unfamiliar scent between her nose, a large hand on the hair behind her head, gently smoothing the movement.

She closed her eyes again, tried to suppress its sourness, turned her sore head to the side, still lying on the side of the bed, grabbed the hand, opened her eyes, looked at the man sitting at the head of the bed, opened her mouth, and let out a soft cry:

"Big brother, you're awake."

"Hmm."

Lu Zhi who woke up was different from any of her guesses, because from the delicate face that still had a faint smile, she couldn't see the slightest sign, either shocked or angry.

"This is Cheng Mansion?" Unfamiliar room, unconscious all night, can still guess where it is, it looks like he is usual.

"Well, are you hungry?" What she actually wanted to ask was if he still had pain in his body.

"I haven't eaten much for a day, I'm a little hungry, is there hot water, I want to take a bath first."

"Yes, yes!" Yi Yu hurriedly called the people outside the door to come in and order, and personally went to the small kitchen in the courtyard to bring hot porridge, and after feeding him to drink, at his request, the people in the house retreated, and he went barefoot to the bathtub behind the screen.

The warm water melted the medicinal juice, brushing the small wound on his body, although it was a little painful, but it did not make him unbearable, he closed his eyes, held his breath and dived into the bath bucket, until a series of foam appeared between the black hair floating on the water surface, his wet face came out of the water, the whole person half leaned on the edge of the bath bucket, one arm on the edge, supporting the side of the head, looking at the extra figure in front of the bath bucket, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said:

"Peeking at people taking a bath, I don't know, you still have this preference."

A soft snort came from the mouth of the person opposite, and the expression was not clear when his face was covered by a black and white mask, but his displeasure could be easily detected.

"Are you still having fun? Watching her sad, you won't be unbearable. ”

Lu Zhi pushed the wet method on his chest to the back of his head, shook his head, and sighed: "I didn't want to show Xiaoyu this, but I didn't expect that she would bring Cheng Yanjin over, but fortunately, she didn't leave a step ahead of them, she should have seen it, she should be satisfied." It's really suspenseful, but fortunately you're clever enough to find someone from us to see me. Don't talk about this, how are you over there, did Lu Yao go wrong? ”

The masked man walked to the chair opposite the bathtub and sat down, and said: "No, he has a simple face, but he can learn things really fast, not only my words and deeds imitate, but also the ability to adapt is also good, the two of us are almost the same, and we don't find any flaws, but I am just restrained." ”

"That's good."

"What's next for you? I was scared by Xiaoyu, but I didn't want to see her like that again. ”

Lu Zhitan took the towel on the side of the handkerchief, wiped the wound on his face with pain, and bared his teeth: "I won't tell you, I was also scared, my little sister, I have been soft-hearted since I was a child, let alone torture people, that is, who hit her in the face, after ten days and half a month, if you give her a chance to call back, she will not be able to do it, but by solving the problem of not leaving it this time, Xiaoyu will be much safer in the future." ”

"Lu Zhi, as soon as I think of her last night, I regret helping you this time, you remember, there is no next time for something like this." So saying, he got up and walked over to the tub, picked up a piece of soap, and pressed it on his tattered face.

"Hiss-" gasped, but Lu Zhi didn't dodge, his eyes flashed, and his apologies flashed, and said: "She is always the one who is unexpected, I am very relieved, you know, even without you, without Lu Yao, no one to help me, she will always be on my side." ”

"Huh," the masked man sneered, "I'll see how you explain to her then, do you want to hide it for the rest of your life, and make her think you-"

"Uh," Lu Zhi was rarely blocked by words, rubbed his eyebrows together, and sighed: "I'll talk about this later, I still have something for you to do right now, you follow Xiaoyu, there are more ways to leave than these, it's just a pass now, and there is still the eldest grandson's family waiting for us behind." ”

The masked man removed the soaphorn from his face, rested it on a silver platter beside him, and sneered:

"It's not us, it's you." (! )
