"When a fish dies, it's not a man. Why are you so flustered? Xinmei breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart that had just been tense suddenly relaxed.

"No, that's not the case......" Yuruo shook her head desperately in denial, as if she had encountered something extremely frightening. She looked up at the slave's eyes full of fear, "All dead, all dead." The fish carcasses in the pond overshadowed the lotus flowers, all, all of them. ”

Youruo spoke incoherently, and the slave simply walked forward, "Xinmei, let's go, let's take a look." ”

Standing on the stone bridge, the slave was also stunned for a moment. Many maids behind him were so disgusted that they bent over and gaged. There are no lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the entire pond, and the corpses of dense fish are floating on the water. The moonlight shone down, and there were no sparkling waters, just one dead fish with wide-eyed eyes. As if telling their grievances.

Soon, more and more people gathered. The whispers grew louder and louder. Even Lu Sang, who was resting in the east wing, heard the sound. Lu Yinhua helped Lu Sang, shocked by the scene in front of her, she covered Lu Sang's sight in a panic, "Auntie, that thing is not clean, it is still not good." ”

The dignified Princess Huainan, Lu Sang is not a timid and fearful person, she removed Lu Yinhua's hand and said in a deep voice, "This palace has lived for most of her life, and there are any strange things I haven't seen." After that, she stepped forward herself, and I have to say that such a scene is indeed ...... Disgusting.

Lu Sang covered his mouth with a handkerchief, cleared his throat and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"All the live fish are dead, a great bad omen."

"Yes, as soon as the general left, the fish all died, isn't that an omen?"

"I heard that the previous dynasty was dying, and all the lotus flowers in the palace died overnight. Could it be ......"

The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became, and Lu Sang frowned slightly. Wang Fu looked at his eyes, and when he saw that the princess was displeased, he immediately turned around and scolded the little maid who was talking in a low voice behind him, "Shut up! Don't want any more heads? ”

Wang Fu's voice immediately quieted the surroundings. Lu Yinhua saw that Lu Sang pursed his lips slightly and didn't say a word, so he whispered in Lu Sang's ear, "Auntie, all the fish in the pond suddenly died, this is probably a bad omen." ”

As soon as the words fell, Miao Chun came with Qiulan, and the crowd that had originally surrounded the pond suddenly made way for her. Qiulan was conferred a pleasant title, indicating that the Holy Lord recognized her position as the head of the General's Mansion. The identity is naturally different from the past, but it is a pity that she has no children under her knees, otherwise it should be her son who inherits the title of Marquis of Jian'an.

Qiulan rushed to Lu Sang and blessed her body slightly, "The concubine body is the princess Niangniang." ”

The hand that was originally on Lu Yinhua's arm was withdrawn, Lu Sang stepped forward and stood still in front of Qiulan, she glanced at the pond, and asked slowly, "What does Mrs. Qiu think?" ”

On the blue-gray path, Xinmei followed behind the slave with a lantern, shouting in his mouth, "County Lord, you go slowly, beware of falling." ”

"Ahh

The new eyebrows behind her screamed, and the slave stopped and looked back at her, and saw her squatting on the ground covering her ankles, unable to stand up for a long time. She shook her head helplessly, and was about to go up to help her, but caught a glimpse of a man around the corner. When I saw her turn around, I immediately wanted to leave.

The slave hurriedly rushed up and shouted, "Who's where!" Come out! ”

The figure paused, and just as he was about to run, the new eyebrows quickly picked up a stone beside him and threw it and hit the man's leg. The man staggered and fell to his knees, the jug in his hand falling to the ground. As soon as she tried to get up, the slave immediately stepped up quickly and stomped on her heels.

There was a crunch of bones, and the man screamed, and it was difficult to stand up in pain.

"County Lord."

The new eyebrows limped forward. The slave gave her an appreciative look, then tugged at the man's collar and forcibly turned her face to herself.

What caught my eye was a frightened and frightened face, which turned out to be a maid. As the night wore dark, she tied her hair up again, and the slave almost thought it was a man.

"What are you sneaking around, following behind?"

"I, I'm ......" The maid saw a light not far ahead, and knew that someone was coming, and as soon as she made a little sound, she was immediately covered by the slave's mouth. At some point, the slave's foot rested gently on the foot on which her ankle bone had been broken. The pearl jade bow shoes were slightly forced, and the maid couldn't scream, and the cold sweat of pain flowed.

"There's a voice over there." The voice of a small servant came from the light.

"The general is in mourning, there can be no mistakes, go over and take a look."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xinmei squatted on the intersection, still groaning in his mouth.

In the darkness of the night, the slave and the maid hid behind the pillar, and heard the conversation in front of them clearly.

"Two good big brothers, I am the big palace maid who serves by the county lord's side, and my feet are broken. Please take me to see the doctor. Xinmei's voice was soft, with a hint of crying.

"It's getting dark. You don't serve by the county lord's side, why are you stumbling here? ”

"It's a lot of noise outside. The county lord specially asked me to go out to have a look, but I lost my foot halfway through. Xinmei squatted on the ground and begged, "Good brother, take me to see the doctor first." Otherwise, tomorrow the guests will come, and I will no longer be able to serve by the side of the county lord, and the sin will be great. ”

The two thought twice and raised their eyebrows, "Okay." ”

The new eyebrows looked back and took a deep look behind him, then limped away with the two men.

The slave looked around and said to the maid, "If you have another thought, I will trample off your other foot." So, obediently tell the truth, got it? ”

There was another sharp pain from the foot with broken bones, and the strength of stepping on the foot became stronger and stronger, and the maid burst into tears of pain and nodded desperately at the slave. Only then did the slave let go, "Say it." ”

"Chang's mother, who is in charge, gave the slave maid ten taels of silver, and asked the slave and maid to wait outside Xiaoliu'an, and asked me to wait for the county lord to go out, and follow the county lord to water the flowers and plants on both sides of the road." The maid glanced timidly at the slave and whispered.

"Watering? Why are you asked to water? The slave looked back at the road she had walked, but the clouds covered the moon and it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The maid buried her head, "The slave and the slave don't know ......"

"I don't know, do you?" The slave made a gesture to step on her other foot. The maid only felt a chill in her back, and she shivered, "I said, I said!" ”

"The slave and maid have tried it curiously, and when this water is poured on the flowers and plants, the flowers and plants will die after a cup of tea."

Thinking of the fish that Fang just said quietly, it was clear that this matter was directed at himself.

When she was born, the Great Xia disaster continued. Not long after Wei Yi died, his mother died of illness. There have been rumors that she is a disaster star. said that she killed her younger brother, killed her mother, and brought disaster to Great Xia, so Li Yuzhi used this as an excuse to send her to the countryside for foster care.

It seems that someone took advantage of Lu Zhi's death to bring up the old story again.

The slave stood up, "In addition to what Mother Chang commanded you, who else did she command?" ”

"I ......"

"You want to keep someone else, but you don't know that you're now with one foot in the underworld. I am the lord of the county, even if the planting is successful, I am still the lord of the county. All I received was a reprimand, at best, a grounding. And the one who really wants to die is you. ”

"The ten taels of silver that Chang's mother gave you, you thought it was a bribe, but in fact, it was the money she gave you to buy your life! Is your life worth ten denarii? ”

The maid's expression moved slightly, and the slave continued, "She gave you ten taels of silver. I'll give you ten taels of gold to keep you out of the house safely. These ten taels of gold are enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. Think wisely. ”

"And the double happiness of Jiangshui Pavilion." The maid looked up and said, as if she had figured it out.

The slave picked up the kettle on the ground, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave maid sister."

"If you want to live, stand up."

Meishu leaned against the wall and stood up with pain. The slave handed her the jug, "Follow me, continue to water, and do as they tell you." Put the kettle away. If you do this well, ten taels of gold will naturally be handed over to you. ”

Mei Shu took the kettle tremblingly, and she didn't know if she was thinking about the ten taels of gold, she nodded very firmly.

The slave walked in front, and just walked outside the pond crowd, a maid quietly walked to her side and helped her hand, and the maid lowered her voice and said, "Slave Ruoling, it is Xiaoliu'an's prompting girl, Sister Xinmei's foot is twisted, and I am specially asked to serve the county lord." ”

Seeing that there was suspicion in the slave's eyes, Ruo Ling said again, "The slave is from the drunken sky. Boss Bai asked me to say hello to you. ”

It turned out to be the person sent into the mansion by Bai Shuang, and the slave naturally no longer doubted it. She raised her head and walked into the crowd.

"What's going on?"

The crisp voice sounded, and everyone looked for prestige, only to see the lord of Mingjia coming in plain clothes. The hazy moonlight and the faintly dancing candle flame of the lantern reflected on her face, white and flawless, illuminating the night.

"See the county lord." The servants saluted.

"Let's all get up." Nu'er stepped forward slowly, "I've seen my aunt and madam." His gaze fell on Lu Yinhua, "My sister is here too." ”

Lu Yinhua skipped the slave and turned to look at Lu Sang, "Auntie, why don't you ask the Taoist priest to take a look first?" lest every man be terrified, and the hearts of men be troubled. ”

Lu Sang glanced at Lu Yinhua deeply. She had seen too many things in the palace, and a woman's intuition told her that it was not simple. When she hesitated, Qiu Lan said loudly, "Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster has not yet been determined, and the county lord of Huashang is too anxious." ”

Lu Yinhua coughed lightly, "I'm too worried." My father had just left, and now these things have happened so suddenly, if they are not handled properly. If something happens, Mrs. Qiu can't afford it. ”

"That's enough." Lu Sang finally spoke, "Natural and man-made disasters will be known as soon as you investigate. ”

Lu Sang gave Qiulan a look, and Qiulan understood, "Come on, catch the fish and take a pot of pond water." Invite Dr. Xie again. ”
