In the evening, Yi Yu ran out of the Huaiguo Mansion, got into the carriage waiting outside, and told the coachman to go to Chengfu quickly, only then did he lift the curtain and see another carriage on the corner of the street slowly following, so he made up his mind.

Li Tai sent people to follow her for four or five days, even back to Longquan Town, but since the night of Kui Xinglou, she has never seen Li Tai himself, and now Lu Zhi has an accident, and there is no news at all, if she is forced, I am afraid she will go to the Wei Wangfu to ask for help.

Just when Yiyu rushed to Cheng's mansion, someone over there had already asked for the Wei Palace, Dongfang You began to move around since his granddaughter was taken away by the criminal department in the morning, but with Lu Rongyuan and Lu Ronghe, in the same way, he was hindered by the forbidden edict issued by the emperor himself, only that he was involved in the murder, but he didn't even know who died, but as the prince of the country, he was more well-connected than the Lu family brothers in Beijing, and in the afternoon, he finally found out some inside information.

As soon as I heard that the person who died was the eldest grandson, I knew that the second son of the eldest grandson was Dongfang You, who was the eldest grandson Wuji's heart, so I couldn't sit still anymore.

Ah Sheng was tidying up his things in the study, while listening to the chief steward who ran in from outside, if an outsider saw it, he must have been amazed, the head of the palace had to bow his head to a steward.

"Lord Dongfang seems to have something important to look for our prince, but the master is not in Chang'an at the moment, and we can't help it, so the little one invited him away, but he wrote a letter in the front hall and left it, asking us to send it to the master as soon as possible."

Ah Sheng put the two books on the shelf, turned around and took the letter left by Dongfang You, and opened it without much thought, the ink on it was still a little damp, but a few words revealed the urgency of the letter writer, Ah Sheng looked at it at a glance, his face did not show a little surprise, waved his hand to tell the housekeeper to step down, and did not forget to instruct:

"If someone comes to find it, no matter who it is, you just need to tell the truth, and say that our master left for Luoyang the day before yesterday, and the return date is undecided."

"Yes."

After the steward withdrew, Ah Sheng turned his hand and lit the letter on the candlestick, burning it to ashes. The eldest grandson was killed, he received the news at noon, but he knew the situation better than the two families involved in the case, Dongfang Mingzhu and Lu Zhi were arrested by the criminal department as suspects, and he was surprised to hear the news at that time, but after calming down, he noticed that he was tired.

How much does he know the details of Lu Zhi, saying that Lu Zhi will kill Changsun Lian, he is a hundred people who don't believe it, not to mention, even if he really kills people, he will definitely not be caught by others, but now people are clearly locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, therefore, he is eighty percent sure that Lu Zhi was cheated this time, and the people who calculated him were not small.

The eldest grandson was killed, this can be regarded as a stabbing of the sky, the eldest grandson's family, the Gao family, and even the one in the palace will not give up, no matter who the murderer is, as long as he is not a fool, he will not take the initiative to rely on this case.

Ah Sheng was a little lucky, Li Tai set off to the south early the morning before yesterday with Shen Jiantang, who needed to go back to soak in wine and suppress drugs, because of some news from the south, otherwise, once Miss Lu asked for the door, he could assert that his master would intervene nine times out of ten, in this way, not only would he offend the people who targeted Lu Zhi, but even the eldest grandson's family and the Gao family would get into trouble, and the previous painstaking management would probably be ruined in one fell swoop, this is not a joke.

Moreover, he thought that Lu Zhi would not be restrained and would not leave himself a backhand, this murder case, they Wei Wangfu, just need to watch the excitement on the side.

On the same night, some people eat dinner at home, some have fun in restaurants, some starve in prison, and some people look at delicious food but have no appetite.

In the elegantly furnished room, there were plates of delicious dishes on the silver-footed desk, and the masked man sitting behind the desk refused to move, until the door rang and the rustling footsteps came, he turned his head, looked at the person under the candlelight, with some anxiety and hesitation, and said:

"It's been two days, what are you trying to do by imprisoning me here?"

The visitor did not answer, the crystal white bare feet dotted on the bright red carpet, the gauze was connected, half attached to him and slowly sat down, Rouyi picked up the jade pot, poured the cup full, and fed it to his lips, but he was dodged by his side head, and the slender wrist did not push, so he moved to the delicate lips, and after taking a sip, he slowly opened and closed, and said:

"What are you forbidden to do? Of course, it's to prevent you from ventilating the news. ”

The masked man listened to her answer, first looked at the smirk on her face in puzzlement, and after a while, his eyes were shocked, and he said in a deep voice:

"You did something to Achi?!"

A chuckle confirmed his guess, and from the terror of the black and white mask, some anger appeared, but his voice was calm, "Why? Because of Lord Fang's involvement, although the emperor intended to let Ah Zhi take your place in the shadows a while ago, but hasn't that matter already been done, Ah Zhi will be put on the bright side as soon as he passes the imperial examination next year, and I can't go past you, why do you need to do this? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will know about this! ”

"I went to the palace in the afternoon, and I should have said everything to the emperor. The emperor's temperament, I know better than you, the result is the most important, those who can't survive, then there is no need to stay, and I will not be punished at all. ”

The masked man's body stiffened, looked sideways at the woman who was close at hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's not enough to die for an autumn, is it that as long as it is someone who threatens you, you have to get rid of it quickly, it was you who helped Achi back then, and now it is you who want to harm him, I don't understand, don't keep my sister, is your heart made of iron?" ”

After listening to his questioning, the slender legs of the woman next to her stretched out under her dress, her head half leaned on his shoulder, played with the jade cup in her hand, squinted her eyes, lightly opened her red lips, and said:

"You don't understand, Qiu Zhi didn't kill me, it was he who had thoughts about me that shouldn't be, and Zhi'er ...... He's different, three years ago, the first time I saw him, I knew that he was different from all of you, and since then, I've been looking forward to him growing up almost every day, every night, every moment, and then one day - destroying him with my own hands. ”

The masked man listened to her murmuring voice as if it came from hell, and a chill suddenly arose in his heart, and he was shocked and asked calmly, "So, you not only tricked me into banning me, but also controlled his manpower, did you?" ”

The woman shook the wine glass in her hand, put away some of the emotions that were exposed just now, and said: "Otherwise, you also know that Ah Zhi listens to me the most, and the people around him have been completely adjusted by me, including the old man of the Lu family who left him behind, and now, he is alone again, just like when he first came to Chang'an City." ”

"Can you tell me what you're going to do with him?"

Under the masked man's insistent gaze, the woman put down the wine glass, stood up with a foolish smile on his shoulder, and moved to the edge of the screen with a lotus step, looking back at him and stretching out a slender finger to the red lips.

"Shhh

Eyelids jumped wildly all the way, when Yi Yu rushed to Cheng's mansion, he ran in without being reported, and many of the Cheng family's subordinates were instructed in advance, so no one stopped her, and after telling her where Cheng Yanjin, who had just returned to the house, was now, she let her break into the front hall.

Cheng Biting Jin was talking to Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Xiaofeng about the inquirement, and when he saw Yi Yu pushing the door in, Cheng Xiaofeng greeted her without waiting for her to speak.

"Xiaoyu, do you have any news?"

Yi Yu shook his head, didn't answer her, turned his head to look for Cheng Biting Jin's person, and after a hasty salute, he said:

"Uncle Cheng, but did you find out what happened to my eldest brother?"

Cheng Yanjin rubbed the beard on his chin, frowned and said: "Don't worry, niece, this is strange, the emperor has made a will, the people in the criminal department have closed their mouths tightly, I inquired all afternoon, and there are only some rumors exposed, it seems that someone's family has died of a son, suspecting your eldest brother, now Zhi'er should be detained in the criminal department, don't worry, when tomorrow morning, I will intercede with the emperor, let you meet and see what is going on." ”

Is it someone who died, it would alarm the emperor, and shut up the criminal department, Yiyu listened to Cheng Yanjin's answer, and became more and more uneasy, but he still politely thanked Cheng Yanjin for his help.

Mrs. Cheng beckoned her to sit down beside her with some pity, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and said softly: "Good boy, don't worry, your Uncle Cheng won't leave your eldest brother alone, it's all here, you haven't eaten yet." ”

The restless Yu shook her head, reached out to take the cup of tea, her chest suddenly cramped, and she lost strength in her hand, and the teacup rolled down her skirt, and the hot tea seeped into the fabric, stinging her skin.

"Ah, hurry, it's hot!" Mrs. Cheng hurriedly patted her skirt, and Cheng Xiaofeng, who was standing on the side, hurriedly pulled her arm and pulled her up, Cheng Biting Jin was about to call someone to clean up, but Yu Yu gently pushed away the hands of the mother and daughter, and walked around the case with some trembling hands and feet, and knelt down in front of Cheng Biting Jin in the surprised eyes of the three members of the Cheng family.

"Uncle Cheng, my niece has a reluctant request."

"You kid, if you have something to stand up and say, what is this!"

"I want to see my eldest brother, I must see him now, ask Uncle Cheng to help me, for the sake of my grandfather and my mother, help me."

After the hall was dumbfounded, in Cheng Biting Jin's embarrassed gaze, Cheng Xiaofeng took the lead in praying and called: "Dad!" ”

“...... Let's go, let's go," Cheng gritted his teeth and snorted: "Lao Tzu has never liked to look forward and backward in doing things, how can he become a soft egg now, niece, get up, Uncle Cheng has a bad relationship with Gao Zhixian of the Criminal Department, but that prison is indeed not a place for people to stay, I think there is something wrong with it, soft is not good, let's come hard - come to someone, come to someone!" ”

After a few shouts, a figure hurriedly ran in, Cheng Yanjin tore off a sign from his waist and threw it over, and said in a loud voice:

"You quickly go to the south of the city, let Fuxian bring a group of soldiers and horses, and tell them that Lao Tzu is going to break into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment tonight, don't follow if you don't have the guts!"
