Chapter 59: Counter-Killing
Half an hour later, Xie Changzhi dried his hands with a handkerchief and reported, "There is nothing abnormal in this water. The grass people cut through more than a dozen fish for examination. It was found that the fish was poisoned and died. ”
A smile tugged at Lu Yinhua's lips, and then she reprimanded, "Since the water is not poisonous, how can the fish be poisoned and die?" Xie Changzhi, aren't you talking nonsense! ”
"This ......" Xie Changzhi couldn't say why, "This water is indeed non-poisonous, but this fish is indeed poisoned and died!" Even if you ask a doctor to come and test it, it will be the same result! The grass people guarantee with their own medical ethics that there will be no mistakes! ”
"Doctor Xie has medical ethics." Lu Yinhua said lightly, if it wasn't for Xie Changzhi's help, his mother would not have been wronged and abolished. Lu Yinhua has always remembered this account.
Xie Changzhi also buried his head at this moment, he still felt guilty about Li Yuzhi's incident. But God knows that what he said today is not the slightest lie.
"Auntie, instead of believing in the words of this quack, it is better to ask the tea master who holds the funeral in the house to see if there is any evil in the house." Lu Yinhua said in a deep voice.
"Madame, ma'am, no!" A little maid trotted over.
"Why are you so flustered?" Qiulan asked with a frown. Of course, she knew who these things were aimed at, and she blamed her for not thinking about it, so she didn't expect that something would happen on the first day of returning home. She was caught off guard.
"The flowers and plants outside are dead......
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more shocked. You must know that these strange things happen one after another in ordinary times, which makes people a little frightened, not to mention that the current General's Mansion is a place where funerals are being held, which casts a veil of supernatural mystery over these things.
Seeing that the slave's face was calm, Qiulan couldn't figure out the truth and reality, so she had to ask hard, "You can say it well, say it in detail." ”
The little maid looked up and glanced at the slave secretly, and stopped talking. Seeing this, Lu Yinhua hurriedly said, "Mrs. Qiu and the princess are here, don't be afraid, just tell the truth." ”
"The slave maid passed by the small willow hermitage and found that a large area of flowers and plants around the small willow hermitage had died. From Koyanagi-an all the way to here. The little maid knelt on the ground and shrunk into a ball, as if she was very afraid of the power of the slave's county lord. People are more likely to believe the words of the weak. As soon as the little maid's words were finished, everyone looked at the slave with a little more guard and fear. For fear of being infected with bad luck.
Lu Yinhua covered his mouth in disbelief, "How can this be?" You girl is not nonsense. The lord of Mingjia is blessed and can protect Xiaoliuan. If you talk nonsense any more, you will be beaten out of the house. ”
When the little maid heard this, she was anxious, and shouted again and again, "How dare the slave and maid be deceived when everyone can see it?" The county lord is clear, the county lord is clear! ”
"Since you say it, it's conclusive. Mengsheng, go and see. Lu Yinhua commanded.
What a kind and kind sister. The slave looked at Lu Yinhua's appearance of singing and chanting, and a sneer flashed in his heart.
But she knew that Li Yuzhi was dead, the general's mansion was taken care of by Qiulan, and Lu Yuebai was a scheming person. No matter how long Lu Yinhua's hands are, it is difficult to cultivate henchmen in the General's Mansion. These things came out on the first day of returning home, and the preparation was sufficient, and the plan was complete, and it was impossible to complete it in half a day. So Lu Zhi just died, and someone in the house had already taken refuge in Lu Yinhua.
"The fourth sister is not in good shape in the palace, but now there is this incident in the house, and I, who is a sister, are really worried. If something really happens, I, how can I be worthy of my father's spirit in heaven? Lu Yinhua began to wipe away tears as he spoke, but she was really a gentle and virtuous eldest sister.
"Eldest sister, rest assured, there is Your Majesty Shengze to take care of. The slave's body has long been healed. Nu'er looked at Lu Yinhua with a pair of bright eyes, and she also spoke softly, "What's more, natural disasters and man-made disasters have not yet been defined. Sister, don't think too much. ”
Lu Yinhua put down the veil, as if listening to the slave's advice. She sighed with relief, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." Although you were born in the middle of July, you can be blessed in the palace, and the qi of the Son of Heaven can naturally control the evil. My sister is fine, and I couldn't be happier than my sister. ”
Ghost Festival!
Lu Yinhua's sincere words, everyone only heard one sentence, "Although you were born in the middle of July". They shuddered. What day is the middle of July? Midyear Festival, Halloween Day! Born on such an unlucky day, it is no wonder that as soon as he left the palace without the protection of the Son of Heaven, he cursed to death the fish in the pond and the flowers and plants in Xiaoliu'an.
Who would dare to approach such a person?
Mengsheng came back and whispered a few words to Lu Yinhua. Lu Yinhua looked shocked, and he didn't ask Lu Sang and Qiulan anymore. Directly waved the Jinpa in his hand in a panic and shouted, "Quick, go and invite the teahouse master!" ”
The tea master in Lu Yinhua's mouth is also a Taoist priest who studies ghosts and gods. This tea room is not the other tea room. Her action made everyone who didn't know it have another layer of doubt and fear in their hearts. They have already tacitly acquiesced in their hearts that all this is related to the county lord of Mingjia, who was born in the middle of the year.
Even Lu Sang, who knew that the house was secret, was faintly uneasy because of the Midyear Festival. She frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Lu Yinhua hesitated, "Back to the princess's aunt, the flowers and plants in the house are around Xiaoliu'an, but Fan, Dan Fan ......"
"But what?"
Lu Yinhua glanced at the slave before he spoke, "But where the fourth sister has been, there is no life. ”
Her voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone present.
Really. Qiulan was a little panicked. She looked at the slave as if asking for help, but saw that she was still at ease and had nothing to do with herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Qiulan said, "This is really strange. In the past, when the lord of Mingjia was still in the house, he didn't see the fish die and the flowers withered? As soon as the county lord of Tonghuashang came back, something happened. ”
"Mrs. Qiu means something. Am I going to hurt my own sister? Besides, there are so many fish and such flowers and plants, how can I do it when I just return home?" The more Lu Yinhua spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and he also piggybacked, "Mrs. Qiu should uphold justice in her own house, how can she be biased." ”
The slave remained silent, she was waiting for an opportunity.
"The teahouse master has arrived." I don't know who said it at the bottom.
I saw a few men in blue-gray robes walking briskly with dust whisks in their hands. They were followed by a woman dressed in filial piety. The slave knew in his eyes that the time had come.
The Dao robe master shook off the dust, pinched his right hand into a lotus shape, and saluted the few distinguished people standing in front of him, "The poor Dao Law is Changsong." I have seen all the nobles. ”
Lu Sang raised his hand to signal for exemption, and Daoist Changsong straightened up. The god mysteriously walked along the pond, and the words were in his mouth. The little Taoist priest who looked like several apprentices behind him took the rattle bell and rang it in three steps.
Then, the Taoist priest of Changsong said loudly, "Noble people, the house is surrounded by treacherous spirits, hundreds of ghosts are out of the house, and the resentment is soaring, and I am afraid that there will be evil." If left unchecked, everything will perish. The cause of the fish's death is difficult to find, and the flowers and plants are dead, which is a warning from God! ”
Lu Sang hurriedly asked, "Is there a way to eliminate the evil spirit?"
Daoist Changsong was about to answer, and the slave, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly chuckled.
Lu Yinhua was puzzled and asked, "What is my sister laughing at?"
The son was silent, and the strange force was confused. I'm laughing at the nonsense of this Taoist priest. Nu'er stepped forward and blessed Lu Sang and Qiulan slightly, "The so-called natural disasters are just man-made. Aunt Princess and Lady Qiu, can you give me a chance to prove that the death of fish and the withering of flowers are indeed man-made. ”
Qiulan understood, "Lord Mingjia, please!" ”
"Dr. Xie has already said that the fish was poisoned and died." Before he finished speaking, there was a humane underneath, "Doctor Xie also said that the water is not poisonous, how did the fish get poisoned?"
The slave smiled faintly, walked to the grass near the pond, and took out a jar of fish food.
"Fish poisoning, not necessarily water poisoning. All the fish are dead, and what they have in common is that they live in the same pond and the fish food in the house. ”
Nu'er handed the clay pot to Xie Changzhi, "I'm sorry to check it again." ”
Xie Changzhi accepted it and immediately began to inspect it, while Nu'er walked to a nearby dead flower and plant. She crouched down, her hand slicing lightly over the dead grass. Then she spread out her palms, "You can see that there are water droplets on the leaves of flowers and plants in every dead place. ”
What does this mean? The flowers and plants in the house are watered every day, so naturally there will be water droplets. Lu Yinhua said.
"With each dead flower, the soil beneath is wetter. This shows that these flowers and plants are watered with more water than normal. Here's the weirdness. The slave turned around, "Ruoling, the maid in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the flower room." ”
After a cup of tea, everyone saw a limping maid walking forward and kneeling, "The slave maid sister Shu has seen the princess and the county lord!" ”
"Sister Shu, you said, you watered these flowers and plants?" Nu'er asked.
Mei Shu nodded, "Exactly." ”
When confronted, Mengsheng quietly pulled Lu Yinhua's sleeve and whispered in a low voice. Lu Yinhua frowned slightly, and then looked at Mei Shu's eyes with a little more murderous intent.
At this moment, the slave was asking the key.
"Who told you to water the flowers late at night? If you don't tell the truth, you will sell it! ”
"I'm ......," Mei Shu shuddered, and she spoke timidly, "It was Mother Chang who gave me an extra ten taels of silver for me to follow the county lord to water." The slave doesn't know anything! The princess spares her life! ”
Qiulan sighed and said with a smile, "There are two county lords present." Tell me clearly, which county lord do you want you to follow?"
Mei Shu stretched out her hand tremblingly, her fingers paused on Lu Yinhua's body, and turned to Nu'er, "Ming, Lord Mingjia." ”
At the same time, Xie Changzhi stepped forward and said, "I found out, there are seven killing pills in the fish food, colorless and tasteless, and an excellent deadly poison." ”
The slave lowered his head and sighed in a voice that everyone could hear, "This one by one, it seems that they are all coming for the lord of this county." As the head of the house, shouldn't Mrs. Qiu give the county lord an explanation? ”
As soon as the slave was in charge, the housewife held back Lu Sang, who had given the order to her lips. Qiulan immediately understood the slave's intentions, and cooperated with the angry reprimand, "Which slave is so bold!" dared to frame the county lord. Come on, pass on the woman Chang's! ”
