Chapter 74: A Familiar Taste
"This is Miss Lu's room!"
In the inner house of the Hou Mansion, a maid introduced Xu Zun and the others.
The boudoir of the daughter of the Hou Mansion was originally a private place, and it was impossible for outsiders to visit, even the last time she was caught and entered the mansion for investigation.
Now, since Xu Zun and Zhao Yu are allowed to enter, it can be seen that Mrs. Changping Hou is already anxious, and she can't care about any etiquette in order to find her daughter.
"Oh......"
As soon as he entered the lady's boudoir, Xu Zun found that this place was different.
But I saw a sword hanging on the front wall, and there was a warrior armor standing on one side of the wall!
The armor was purple and pink, and judging from the protruding heart guards and graceful arcs, it was obviously a pair of armor specially tailored for women!
"This ......"
Because Wei Beihui was also hindered by etiquette, at this moment, in addition to Xu Zun and Zhao Yu, there were only two Miss Lu's personal maidservants to introduce him.
One of the maidservants hastened to reply:
"My lord, Miss Lu is both civil and military, especially good at swords and equestrian skills.
"This armor was created by the Hou Ye on the fifteenth birthday of the young lady, and the young lady liked it very much, so she moved it into the boudoir."
"Oh......"
Xu Zun carefully inspected the boudoir, but saw that there was indeed a martial aura in the boudoir, which showed that this Miss Lu was not a weak young lady.
"...... you," Xu Zun asked, pointing to the boudoir, "After Miss disappeared, did you search this place carefully?" ”
"Your Excellency," replied the maidservant, "Lord Hou asked us to search carefully, but we found nothing unusual. ”
The boudoir of the daughter of the Hou Mansion is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
The boudoir is connected with the study, which is decorated and elegantly luxurious.
Xu Zun soon made a new discovery, but saw that there were several calligraphy and paintings on the desk in the study, and there were inkstone brushes and other writing supplies next to it.
When he came closer, he held up one of the calligraphy paintings to check it, but saw that it was a heroic white-robed general, and a poem was attached to it:
"Dream of returning to the general's camp, I hate to kill."
This poem......
"Wow, that's so domineering!" Zhao Yu also saw this poem and immediately praised it.
Xu Zun savored it carefully and found that this painting was not mature, the brushwork was even slightly immature, and the written words were also full of juan and beautiful atmosphere.
"Is this calligraphy and painting made by Miss Lu?" Xu Zun asked.
"The painting was painted by the young lady," replied the maidservant, "but the poem is not!" ”
"Oh?" Xu Zun looked at the white-robed general on the painting, then looked at this domineering poem, and asked, "Who wrote that?" ”
Before the maid could answer, Xu Zun was the first to see the seal under the calligraphy and painting, but saw that there were four words written on it: "Lu Xiaofeng".
What!!?
Xu Zun was dumbfounded, Lu Xiaofeng came out?
Is there still Chu Liuxiang and Ximen blowing snow?
"This poem is written by Miss Lu's classmate, Miss Xiaofeng!" The maidservant replied.
Classmate?
Girl?
It turned out that this Lu Xiaofeng was a woman.
"Miss Xiaofeng is also surnamed Lu," the maid continued, "and I have a good relationship with my young lady, but it's a pity...... A few months ago, Miss Xiaofeng suddenly said goodbye and left Shangyuan City with her family......"
"Oh?"
Xu Zun raised his eyebrows, as if he realized something.
"This little phoenix girl ......," Zhao Yu also asked as if he had discovered the point, "why do you want to say goodbye?" ”
"This slave doesn't know, only that their family left very suddenly."
"Yes," the other echoed, "when the young lady found out, she was really anxious, and sent people around to inquire, as if she had heard that something had happened in her hometown, so she left in a hurry."
"But then the young lady sent someone to investigate, but she didn't find anything......"
"Yes, a few days ago," the maid from before said, "I also heard Miss Xiaofeng mention Miss Xiaofeng, saying that she was worried about Miss Xiaofeng's safety and wanted Mr. Wei to help find ......."
"Mr. Wei?" Xu Zun asked, "Wei Beihui?" ”
"Yes," the maid nodded, "it is Mr. Wei, he has many friends in the rivers and lakes, so the young lady wants to ask Mr. Wei for help." Unexpectedly, the young lady disappeared the next day......"
Gee......
Hearing the maid's story, Xu Zun secretly smacked his lips, but he didn't expect that he would once again think about the case simply!
At first, the reason why he repeatedly asked Na Ran Lin about the age of the academy and Miss Lu was because he suspected that Miss Lu's disappearance might be related to love words.
At the age of 16, it is not big to say that it is not big, but it is not small to say that it is not small, it is the time when the love is first opened.
Since her disappearance has no obvious kidnapping and ransom characteristics, could it be because of emotional problems?
However, through the understanding in front of her, this Miss Lu does not look like a sentimental boudoir girl, but has a lot of manliness.
If you weren't trapped by love, then this case would have a different taste!
This smell is very familiar to Xu Zun, it is the smell of conspiracy......
Next, Xu Zun checked a large number of calligraphy and paintings in the study, and found that Miss Lu's calligraphy and paintings did not have a delicate and lingering meaning, basically some atmospheric feelings of family and country, as well as some Taoist and metaphysical experiences.
Moreover, there are many calligraphy and paintings from the hands of the Lu Xiaofeng girl, and it can be seen from the words and paintings that these two Lu girls are indeed like-minded and have a great friendship.
After inspecting the boudoir, Xu Zun, with the help of the Wei Beihui Daoist, found a room and began to interrogate all those who were close to Miss Lu individually.
"I'm a sedan chair driver," one of the sedan chair bearers told Xu Zun when Miss Lu disappeared, "On Miss Lu's way back from the academy that day, we walked through the alley of the North Qi Gate as usual......
"Unexpectedly, when we walked to the center of the alley, a few people in black suddenly fell on our heads, knocking us unconscious!
"I didn't even see how many people there were at the time, but I knew nothing when it was dark!
"Look......" he lifted his collar and let Xu Zun see the palm print on the back of his neck, "It's been five days, and the swelling hasn't subsided......"
……
"I'm a guard......," a burly middle-aged man said ashamedly, "the enemy came suddenly that day, and I was unprepared for them, and I fell into their ambush ......."
As he spoke, the guard also lifted his collar and let Xu Zun see a needle hole in his neck.
"They used a hidden weapon, and before they knew it, they had passed out, and when they opened their eyes again, the young lady had been taken captive......"
……
"I'm Miss's maid," said a young girl, timidly, "and that day, I saw only a few dark shadows, and I was punched in the back and fainted!" ”
Xu Zun pondered for a few seconds, and found that this maid did not lift her collar to let herself check like the others, so he asked:
"On that day, can you follow Miss Lu into the Academy?"
"It's in!" The maid replied, "I entered the academy, but I could not enter the academy, so I could only wait outside the hall. ”
"What is it said in Qinglan Academy?"
"A lot," replied the maid, "there are national codes, Taoist scriptures, and some knowledge of women's enke, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the six arts......
Since the Queen Mother was in power, in the fourth year of Xianyuan, Daxuan opened a women's Enke for the first time, and as long as she can pass the examination, she will have the opportunity to enter Beijing to be a female official.
"Then you miss, was there anything unusual that day?"
"Anomaly?" The maid recalled carefully and shook her head again and again, "It's exactly the same as usual, there's nothing abnormal!" ”
"Then your young lady, did you mention to you what she has on her mind?" Xu Zun asked again, his eyes showing a fierce light, a little scary.
"What's on your mind?" The maid hurriedly bowed her head and replied, "Nothing on your mind, right?" Oh...... Like, if there is anything on her mind, it is that she has never been able to find Miss Lu Xiaofeng, right? ”
Next, the maid told Xu Zun about Miss Lu Xiaofeng's situation, which was the same as what the maid said before.
"Oh......" Xu Zun thought for a while, and then asked, "That...... Do you think that your Miss Lu has signs of youthful rebellion? ”
"This ...... Hmm......" The maid was dumbfounded and asked weakly, "What is youth rebellion!?" ”
