Chapter 167: Reason

Lu Hou replied loudly, turned around and took the big knife, took it in his hand twice, and suddenly showed a very satisfied look on his face.

Lu Xiao's face immediately became a little unbearable......

Master Qiu had heard that Lu Xiao was stubborn earlier, and he had been beaten by Lu Hou a lot since he was a child, but he didn't know that Lu Hou could really shoot at his own son, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked the guards to help stop Lu Hou.

The guards of Jingzhao Mansion glanced at Lu Hou who was on the back of a tiger, a half-human-high big knife, and one hand could be powerful, and he couldn't help but shudder, and glanced at Master Qiu with an embarrassed expression, and the meaning was obvious:

Your Excellency, Your ...... Are you not joking with the lives of our brothers?

If our brother can stop Lu Hou, will he still need to be on an errand in Jingzhao Mansion?

Master Qiu was choked for a moment, Fang was about to roll up his sleeves and personally stepped forward to preach to Lu Hou, when the guards suddenly came outside the door, and saw Lu Hou's father and son who were comparing moves in the courtyard were stunned for a moment, bowed down and said:

"My lord! The preliminary autopsy was just done, and it was said that the little guy in the Qingfeng Pavilion died of the poison of the Heart-Eater Grass! ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed!

Hearteater?

This is a forbidden drug in the previous dynasty, and he is a little ...... How can you be poisoned by the Hearteater?

Lu Hou and Lu Xiao fought vigorously, and they were sighing in their hearts when this kid's internal strength was so good...... Hearing the guard's words, he immediately restrained his strength.

Lu Xiao saw that his Lao Tzu suddenly withdrew his hand, so he relaxed.

"What did you say?"

Lu Hou put away the knife, stepped forward a few steps, and asked with a cautious expression:

"What kind of poison did you say that little guy was poisoned?"

The guard who was questioned saw that Lu Hou suddenly walked towards him, and subconsciously moved a step back, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but have a hot face, and hurriedly clenched his fists to cover up:

"Back to the Hou Ye, I said it...... It's the poisonous ...... of Hearteater."

Lu Hou was stunned, his face was immediately difficult to look at, and he hurriedly turned around to take a closer look at Lu Xiao, but his face was rarely worried:

Lu Xiao ...... Have you touched that man's body before? ”

Lu Xiao's eyes loosened a little, shook his head at Lu Hou, and said calmly:

"When he was poisonous, he reached out to me and made me miss and break my bones...... Didn't touch me in the slightest......"

Hissβ€”β€”, all the guards gasped in unison, thinking that this Lu family's father and son were really not something ordinary people could provoke!

Lu Hou was obviously relieved when he heard this:

"Good...... In the future, you must remember that this Heart-Eater Grass is highly poisonous, and it seals your throat with blood! Don't be careless! ”

Lu Xiao nodded, and turned his face to look at Li Taiwei with a calm expression.

Her eyes were clouded, as if she was pondering something, and she had not yet returned to her senses.

Lu Xiao glanced at Gu Yu and asked him to secretly protect Li Taiwei.

Gu Yu was slightly relieved of his head, and as soon as he took two steps closer to Li Taiwei's side, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the yamen.

The guard quickly dismounted and came in, and saluted:

"My lord! No source of poison has been found in the Seifukan! Please show me! ”

What? That's weird! Everyone looked at Master Qiu in confusion.

Master Qiu was also confused, frowned and asked:

"Can someone check it inside and out?"

The guards hugged their fists:

"Back to my lord, our dozen or so guards have checked inside and outside three times, and then we went to the Tai Hospital to invite the Tai Doctor to come and check the utensils used by the deceased before his death, but still we have not been able to find out the source of the poison......

Master Qiu looked at the guards on the other side:

"Ask someone to ask the interrogation office, and the people who accompany you can see that the deceased has been out of the Qingfeng Pavilion today, or who he has met with, ask someone to come to the yamen for questioning......

Master Qiu was a little anxious, if he really couldn't find out the source of the poison, this little man could be regarded as dying in front of Lu Xiao, and he was afraid that he would have to stay in the yamen for the night today......

But before the guards answered, someone from outside came in and saluted the crowd:

"My lord! Lu Shizi's guards found clues from the moss at the mouth of the Qingfeng Pavilion..... He personally went down to the well to investigate, and sure enough, he found a broken teacup, and there was moss stained with poisonous juice on the rock wall in the well, and he also asked him to take it down for physical evidence......"

Master Qiu was stunned:

"Lu Shizi's guard?"

How could a guard find such an important clue?

The Guard said:

"The Lu family guarded the road, the poison of this heart-devouring grass will condense red when it encounters moss juice, and once it is stained, it will not ......fade for three days."

"I just asked the imperial doctor, and this is true...... The subordinates have tried all the suspicious people in the Qingfeng Pavilion one by one with the moss juice, but they have not found any suspicious people......"

Master Qiu looked at Lu Xiao and said puzzledly:

"Lu Shizi's people...... Recognize this poison? ”

"I heard Lu Shizi say that the Heart-Eater Grass in your house burned down many years ago, I don't know how Shizi knew that little man was poisoned today?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Xiao for a while.

Lu Hou's face changed slightly, and he couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes when he looked at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao's face suddenly sank when he heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Hou, clenched his fists, and a trace of grief appeared in his eyes.

In the interval of silence, Mrs. Li suddenly said abruptly:

"It's what I once said to Lu Shizi......"

Lu Xiao looked at Li Taiwei who came from the crowd in a daze, and a warm current crossed his heart.

"Lord Qiu, when the courtiers and Lu Shizi were ordered by the queen to investigate Xu Liangyuan's death, they heard Rong Zhi, the chief doctor of the Tai Hospital, mention this poison, and the courtiers mentioned this ...... to Lu Shizi."

Mrs. Li was afraid that Lu Xiao would reveal her stuffing, so she hurriedly found an excuse to cover it up for him.

There was the lord of Chonghua County who came forward as a witness, but everyone didn't think much about it.

After a while, Li Xiang also arrived, he stopped everyone saluting, greeted Lu Hou, and walked quickly to Li Taiwei's side.

Seeing that the parents of both parties had arrived, Master Qiu hurriedly invited Lu Hou's father and son and Li Sheng's father and daughter to the inner hall to speak.

Lu Xiao told everyone what was going on, and Master Qiu frowned:

"Listen to the meaning of the prince, this little man was poisoned by someone today at the right time, if it weren't for the accident of the prince, at this time...... Should it be poisoned in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

When Li Sheng heard this, his face also sank.

If you really let this little guy come to the door today, and then die in front of your own door...... That Ah Luan's reputation ......

Lu Shizi...... This official has a sentence to ask the prince, why did you buy the Qingfeng Pavilion and give it to the lord of Chonghua? ”

Master Qiu couldn't help but ask.

At the mention of this, Lu Hou and Li Xiang glared at Lu Xiao in unison, and Li Taiwei's eyes were even more murderous!

Lu Hou can't slap this rebel to death! Where can I give this to a little girl?

Lu Xiao couldn't hide this when he saw this, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Previously, the county lord took a fancy to a mansion with a hot spring in my hand, so I simply gave it to the county lord...... Only the house is connected to the Seifukan, and there are usually occasional people who act out of line...... Poorly clothed......"

"I'm afraid of shocking the county lord, so I plan to buy this house, and when everyone is dismissed, I will give it to the county lord together......"

After Lu Xiao finished speaking, Lu Hou's face eased.

He knew that this house was Lu Xiao's mother's dowry, and although the area was not large, it had a hot spring pool that was difficult to find in Shengjing......

Li Xiang turned his head to look at Li Taiwei, and saw that she nodded weakly, and his heart was mixed for a while.

Master Qiu didn't know what to say, his eyes wandered back and forth between Li Taiwei and Lu Xiao, as if he had noticed something, revealing a subtle expression.

Suddenly, a guard came to report:

"My lord! All the people involved in the case have arrived, and the adults can try the case......"
