Chapter 166: Heart-Eater
Gu Yu's light skills were not as good as Lu Xiao, and when he arrived at the side of the street, he saw a group of small people standing motionless in place, and only after careful questioning did he know that the prince had taken one of them away for questioning.
Gu Yu thought that Lu Xiao would not go far, so he guarded here, and sure enough, within an hour of incense, Lu Xiao came back, and his face was not very good from a distance.
Gu Yu hurriedly greeted him, and the little ones couldn't help but stretch their necks to look.
"Master, what about the little man?"
Gu Yu leaned behind Lu Xiao and said in surprise.
Lu Xiao's eyes swept over the crowd one by one, turned his head and said to Gu Yu:
"Dead in the back alley......"
"I just sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion and brought them to the autopsy, you will take care of these people and take them to the yamen for interrogation in a while."
He's dead?
When the little ones heard this, they were frightened......
King Lu Yan really killed Si Yin!
The little ones suddenly became a mess, and they knelt down and cried to Lu Xiao:
"The prince spares his life......"
"This matter is all Si Yin's idea..... The little ones really don't know......"
"yes, yes...... Ask the prince to see ...... Spare us a little life......"
Lu Xiao called these young men in red and green shirts a headache, and suddenly his face sank, and he shouted:
"What are you screaming about? Shut your mouth for me! ”
The little ones immediately looked at Lu Xiao with red eyes one by one, and finally didn't dare to say anything more.
Thinking of this, he can't hide it, Lu Xiao's brain is about to explode, how should he explain to Li Taiwei in a while, he bought Qingfeng Pavilion and gave it to her?
As soon as Gu Yu heard that Lu Xiao was going to call for a servant, he guessed something, and said:
"The prince is going to Seifukan to check ......"
Lu Xiao bowed his head and his face tightened:
"The sting has gone...... You stay here, I'll go and explain to Master Qiu first. ”
Gu Yu was still a little worried, after all, everyone thought that Si Yin died in the hands of Lu Xiao, and when the master interrogated, most of them would not leave others present, which was difficult to do......
Lu Xiao didn't worry about this, and hurriedly explained to Gu Yu and went to Jingzhao Mansion.
When Master Qiu received the news, his face changed in shock. Immediately mobilized the guards and servants, and the soldiers rushed to the place of the crime and the Qingfeng Pavilion in two ways.
This case involved the prince of Changping Hou, Lord Qiu did not dare to be sloppy, he was busy asking people to prepare horses, and was about to personally take people to the market to catch up, but he met Lu Xiao who came alone when he left the yamen.
Master Qiu sat on the back of the horse, looked at Lu Xiao who came calmly for a moment, then hurriedly got off the horse, and stepped forward and couldn't help but call:
"Lu Shizi, you ...... That's how you came? ”
Lu Xiao was stared at by Lord Qiu and his entourage, but his face was as usual, and he stepped forward and said to Lord Qiu:
"My lord, I have something important to tell you, I wonder if you can take a step to speak?"
Master Qiu glanced left and right, and led the way with Lu Xiao:
"The prince here, please ......"
Lu Xiao and Master Qiu entered the study, and Lord Qiu retreated, his face was embarrassed:
"What's the matter with the son, but it's okay to say it...... If it is related to the case, the prince needs to speak out as soon as possible to clear the suspicion......"
Although the little man in this Qingfeng Pavilion is a slave, but in the end, these people look at it in broad daylight, and it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this thing is not good, and this Lu Shizi will cause a big disaster!
Lu Xiao didn't look worried about himself at all, he leaned over to Master Qiu's side and asked in a low voice:
"Do you know which house in the court breeds Heart-Eater Grass?"
Qiu Tiande was stunned when he heard this:
"Hearteater? This...... This is a forbidden medicine in the previous dynasty...... Why did Lu Shizi ask such a question? ”
Lu Xiao looked at Master Qiu and did not speak.
Qiu Tiande suddenly understood something, and his face suddenly became a little tight:
"The prince is saying...... That little guy was poisoned by the Hearteater's Grass? ”
Lu Xiao was silent, but his eyes were very determined.
Qiu Tiande's back immediately burst into a layer of cold sweat, there was a Rui Wangfu Death Pearl, and now there is a Heart-Eating Grass...... Isn't Shinto really resurrected!
Master Qiu stabilized his mind, thought carefully for a while, and then said:
"I heard that this heart-eating herb is very toxic, but it is a good medicine for pain...... When the first emperor ascended the throne, he ordered all this thing to be burned, and only allowed a few of the ministers of Kuangfu Sheji to plant a few plants for medicine, and even the Tai Hospital did not keep it......"
"These are all military generals who fought the world with the first emperor and made great achievements, and they are riddled with injuries and illnesses, and they can't do without this herb......"
"Back then, these people were called the inner servants and recorded in the register, and the first emperor also said that this thing can only be kept for his own use, and must not be transferred to the outer room, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of bullying the king!"
"After decades, the official can't remember exactly which ones have been cultivated, but ......"
Master Qiu looked at Lu Xiao in surprise:
"I remember...... There should be one on the prince's house...... Could it be that the prince didn't know? ”
Lu Xiao's expression was faint when he heard this, he had checked this matter in his previous life, so he naturally knew, so he said slowly:
"I heard my father say that since my grandfather died of illness, the heart-devouring grass that was specially given by the emperor has gradually withered......"
"This matter was also reported to the Tai Hospital, and it was the Qin Hospital at that time who burned the remnants with his own hands......
Lord Qiu's jaw, if that little guy really died of this poison...... Then this Lu Shizi can be abandoned......
As long as the evidence of the little man taking the medicine is found, and Lu Shizi has an alibi, then this matter will be almost the same......
"Lu Xiao!"
Suddenly, someone outside shouted like a bell, and shook people's eardrums.
"Little cub...... Get out of here! ”
Lu Hou's angry voice shocked Qiu Tiande so much that he almost broke his foot.
Master Qiu patted his chest again and again, comforted himself, and then calmed down, and walked out of the study with Lu Xiao.
Lu Hou came with a hurry to mention the family law, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he seemed to be very angry!
Gu Yu followed behind Lu Hou, cowering, wanting to pull but not daring to make a move, so he had to say to Lu Xiao, "Lord Shizi, you ask for more blessings!" Seeing Lu Xiao's shortness of breath.
In front of these people, Lu Xiao didn't want to collide with him, so he wanted to take off his robe and ask him for guilt, hoping to calm things down first, but he saw a woman suddenly appear behind Lu Hou.
Lu Xiao's eyes were sharp, and when he looked at it, his old face was immediately a little panicked...... It was Li Taiwei who came!
This...... You can't kneel anymore......
Lu Hou's face was pale with anger, and when he saw that Lu Xiao, a rebel, was standing in front of him with his neck stalked, and only fire was about to erupt from his nostrils, so he ran over with his martial arts......
"You, a little king and eight calves, dare to do such a thing behind Lao Tzu's back......"
Lu Xiao couldn't help but stroke his forehead when he heard Lu Hou's scolding, and he didn't even feel ashamed of himself when he got into it!
While hurriedly parrying Lu Hou's moves, he couldn't help but secretly turn his face to look at Li Taiwei's face.
It's good...... Look at her composure......
Lu Xiao's heart was only half of the big stone falling, when he saw Li Taiwei sneering, turned around and pulled out a huge saber from the side of the guard beside him, raised his hands and raised his voice towards Lu Hou:
"Lord Lu! You make this! ”
