Chapter 243: Bad News

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

It is not clear what happened to the Luo clan back then, but since it is related to the royal heir and the imperial concubine, it must not be a trivial matter, and if the Lu family is involved, it is not so easy to get out.

After hearing this, Bai Susu's heart was as heavy as pressing a big stone, but he couldn't do anything.

The capital is not close to Mengyang County, and this is a very remote and small place, and the people who live near it are some elderly people. The news couldn't get through, and there was nowhere to ask, and they lived in this mansion as if they were completely cut off from the outside world.

Bai Susu was anxious, and Roche was not. What I thought could be solved in ten days and half a month, two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Capital.

Circles of soldiers and horses surrounded the gate of the Lu Mansion, surrounding the mansion of Nuo Da, and this state has lasted for three whole days.

Inside Yuhua Hall.

Old Man Lu sat upright in the chair, his whole face was gloomy, and he had been in this position for half an hour.

The second master and the third master in the house were so anxious that they stomped their feet.

"This Wu Zhiyi is really an ungrateful thing, he forgot that if it weren't for the Lu family's maneuvering, his life would have been gone, and now he actually took revenge and framed the Lu family." Second Master Lu can't wait to rush over now and dismantle Lu Zhenghe.

"Uncle is really, how did he really lead troops to surround the Lu Mansion, and I don't know who he stood with." Master Lu San was also a little angry, and couldn't help complaining.

"In my opinion, I still have to find an uncle to talk to the saint about this matter, our family is wronged, how can we listen to Wu Zhiyi's words." Second Master Lu said.

"What else are you looking for him, if he was willing to help us, he would have helped us a long time ago, how could he have been closed so many times." Third Master Lu looked at Second Master Lu with some reproach, "Second brother, can't you let your father beg him?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Second Master Lu was suddenly unhappy, and he sneered in an unkind tone, "Otherwise, according to the third brother's opinion, what should we do, if this continues, the Lu family will be gone." If you don't rely on your uncle, can't you rely on your son who hasn't known where to hide since the accident! ”

"What did you say!" Lu San's face turned red angrily, he stretched out his hand to point at Lu Er's old man and said angrily, "No matter how good my son is, he is not like your son, he spends all day drinking, and sooner or later the Lu family's silver will be lost by him." ”

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the teacup in Old Man Lu's hand was smashed to the ground, and he scolded with a calm face, "You two give me a stop, when are you still making trouble." ”

The two of them were so frightened that they shrank their heads, although Old Man Lu has not been in charge of things in recent years, but his majesty in the Lu Mansion has not diminished at all, seeing that he was angry, Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu were too frightened to speak.

Old Man Lu didn't want to see these two uncompetitive sons, so he waved them out, and he sat in the house and didn't know what to think.

When Lu Zhiyuan returned to the Lu Mansion, it was already late at night, although the officers and soldiers surrounded the Lu family, but Lu Zhiyuan was still a first-class Shangqing, and his official position in the court was still there, and the saint had no name to punish the Lu family, and before the situation was clear, the officers and soldiers did not dare to stop him from entering and leaving.

After he entered the mansion, he went directly to Yuhuatang and met Old Man Lu.

"Grandfather."

Old Man Lu's cloudy eyes shone again after seeing him enter the door, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Not good." The Holy One refuses to see me, and he refuses to even see the Prince. In the past few days, the three princes and Lu Zhenghe have been accompanying the saint. ”

Old man Lu has already known in his heart since he knew Lu Zhenghe's wolf ambitions, and the things of the year will be turned out sooner or later, he just hates himself for being blind, he hasn't seen Lu Zhenghe's wolf ambitions for so many years, and he has always regarded him as his good brother.

"If the Lu family falls, are you afraid?" Old Man Lu asked suddenly.

Lu Zhiyuan's expression didn't fluctuate much, he smiled, "There's nothing to be afraid of, things haven't come to that point yet, even if they get to that point, it's just a death." ”

Master Lu looked at his grandson, who was already so in danger at such an age, he felt both comfort and heartache in his heart, if the Lu family couldn't survive this time, his most pity would be this grandson.

"I really couldn't help it back then, if I didn't do that, it would be your aunt and son who are dead now."

The imperial concubine was from a low background, just the daughter of an ordinary peasant family, and her appearance was just beauty, but the most important thing in the palace was a beautiful woman. But no one expected that it was such an ordinary woman, who was favored as soon as she entered the palace, and in order to consolidate her position, the saint forced the imperial concubine under pressure, and it was not impossible to see that posture for her son to say that she was abolished.

Although these things were unknown, he didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't dare to gamble with the people of the Lu family, so he chose an opportunity to do it.

He never regretted these things when he was young, but when he got older, he inevitably often remembered the past and finally felt guilty about those shady pasts.

"The matter has passed, no matter what, I will try my best to keep the Lu family." Lu Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and said.

"Okay." Old Man Lu felt that he was old for the first time, and in front of his own grandson, he watched his back disappear into the room, and the light in front of him became dimer and darker.

Lu Zhiyuan left Yuhuatang and went to the study, but saw Mama Zhuang waiting in the house.

"Mama has something to say?" Lu Zhiyuan rarely saw Mama Zhuang so worried, she was an old man of the Lu family, and she had been in the Lu family all her life, so she was quite respected.

"The slave wants to come and ask if you have a way to deal with this matter?" Mama Zhuang asked.

Lu Zhiyuan frowned and looked displeased, the Lu family's matter this time involved royal secrets, and as Mama Zhuang, she really shouldn't ask. If someone else asked about it, Lu Zhiyuan would definitely be punished, but because it was Mama Zhuang, she didn't have a seizure.

"I will find a way to solve this matter, Mama only needs to take care of the affairs in the house, and don't worry about anything else."

"The slave maid heard that the three princes sent people to find a person named Xiuzhen everywhere today, have you heard the news?" Mama Zhuang asked.

"What the hell are you going to say, Mama?" Lu Zhiyuan has been upset recently, and when he saw Grandma Zhuang talking about something inconsequential, he was a little irritable.

Mama Zhuang hesitated on her face, and said again and again, "Xiuzhen slave maid knows, she used to be a maid in the old lady's house. ”

Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyes, his brows furrowed, he had realized that Mama Zhuang seemed to be about to say something very important.

"The child of the imperial concubine may not have died." Mama Zhuang looked a little restrained, and as soon as she said that, she saw Lu Zhiyuan's face change greatly.

"This matter is very important, and Mama should not talk nonsense." Lu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

"The slave and maid don't know the specific situation, but the old lady also entered the palace on the night of the imperial concubine's accident, and then there was an extra child in the old lady's yard, and the slave and maid only served in the outer courtyard at that time and couldn't enter the inner courtyard, so I didn't see it, but there was really a baby's cry at night." Mama Zhuang told everything about the year.

Mrs. Lu brought back a baby in the yard, but no one in the house knew, and the strangest thing was that the child was quietly raised in the yard for a month and then disappeared. Mama Zhuang was not very old at that time, although she felt strange, but thinking that it was inconvenient to ask about the master's affairs, she pretended not to know.

Later, the slaves and maids in the house were replaced one by one, and no one knew about these old things. Mama Zhuang was actually not sure that the child was the imperial concubine back then, but it was too coincidental that things appeared, so she thought of it.

Lu Zhiyuan also remembered the rumors he had heard before, that the imperial concubine's child was indeed born at that time, it was a baby girl, and at that time, the imperial concubine realized that she was worried that the child would be assassinated, so she handed over the baby girl to the trusted palace maid Xiuzhen and quietly took her out of the palace.

This rumor caused a lot of noise back then, but then it was dismissed. Now when I heard Mama Zhuang talk about it, he realized that the wind may not be without reason, and this child is very likely to be alive.

"Do you know where that kid went?" Lu Zhiyuan asked.

Mama Zhuang shook her head, "Back then, the slave maid was just a third-class maid, and she couldn't enter the master's house if she had nothing to do. But at that time, the slave maid remembered that there was not necessarily a maid named Xiuzhen with the child. ”

Lu Zhiyuan realized the seriousness of the matter, no wonder the matter of the Lu family has dragged on for so long and has not come to fruition, it turned out that he was waiting, waiting for the third prince or Lu Zhenghe to find back the child that Xiuzhen took away.

And as long as that child comes back, it will be the day of the Lu family's catastrophe.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered Tang Feng and Zhu Ping to come back, and ordered the two of them to find out this Xiuzhen first.

The information about Xiuzhen has not been found for more than 30 years, and the Lu family has gone to the water a few years ago and burned the information of some of the subordinates, including some people from decades ago.

Although there is no news of Xiuzhen, Mama Zhuang vaguely remembers that Xiuzhen said that there are many jujube trees in her hometown. According to this clue, Lu Zhiyuan ordered people to find out all the places where jujube trees were planted in nearby towns and investigate them one by one.

There are no less than dozens of small towns around the capital, and there are only three places where there are many jujube trees.

Tang Feng and Zhu Ping went to these three places with people respectively, and Lu Zhiyuan was not idle, opened the warehouse and went in to look through all the things that Mrs. Lu had before her death.

Mrs. Lu has the habit of keeping accounts, and she also likes to record some things in the accounts of the day, and what Lu Zhiyuan is looking for is the account book of Mrs. Lu before her death.

Those things were sealed in the innermost part of the warehouse after the death of Mrs. Lu, and it took a lot of effort to find them again. The account books are written with numbers and years and months, so it is not troublesome to find, and after unpacking and comparing them one by one, you will soon find everything you need.

And after searching and comparing, he also found out the problem, for three years, Mrs. Lu would spend a large amount of silver every month to a person named Xiu'er. But for some reason in the fourth year there was no further spending, and since then no news of this man has been found in the books.

This Xiu'er should be the Xiuzhen in Grandma Zhuang's mouth.
