Chapter 44: Coalition and Conspiracy
There was no one on the street.
I was protecting the child, both of them came to me with wooden sticks, Li Cheng came to help me block, Xian Yan walked out, was surprised to see this scene, shouted at the yard, ran over, pushed two people in black, but the man in black had a big waist and a round waist, she could push it, the man slapped her aside, and the other was hugged by Li Cheng's feet, he suddenly took out a big knife, and was about to cut it on Li Cheng's back, Qiu Yu flew over, kicked him on the wrist, and kicked him in the chest, this person fell to the ground and couldn't move, Qiu Yu hit another one, The two men fled.
I didn't even bite my tongue!
The enemy's routine is starting to get confused.
Xianyan got up and turned around in place before she saw me and stumbled over: Third brother and sister, are you okay?
Me, it's fine.
Let's get inside.
The child's father and mother were waiting at the inn.
The second sister-in-law accompanies you.
Don't bother Erniang, I'll protect my mother.
Well, it's good to have such a filial son.
At this time, Lu Shang walked over from another direction.
Before I could say anything, Xian Yan said: Third brother, why did you come back. Xiaoguan almost died just now.
Lu Shang ignored her and picked me up.
The child's father and mother were waiting at the inn.
Lu Shang didn't let me go either.
After confirmation, the husband and wife are indeed the parents of the child, and it has been almost two days since the toss, so you don't have to listen to the process.
Because I got used to it, even if I only slept at the end of the day, I could wake up at the end of the day, and I could still explain to Lu Shang what happened yesterday.
Lu Shang listened to me and said: The bright color came out in time.
I also think a little, what is she doing so late? You're right, she's still obsessed with me, looking for two people to beat me and then save me.
If so, it's okay to say.
What else?
You tell me. I suspect she was behind your assassination.
Do you still think she's a murderer?
It's suspicion.
Then tell me, what motive she has to kill Qiu Yue and Hu Yan.
I don't know.
It's not that I don't know, it's that I don't. She has never left the Lu family since she got married, she has not left your second brother, you say, what reason does she have to kill them?
In short, she is the most suspicious.
The murderer deceives people like you, confuses the public, the most likely is the least not, yes, we don't care at all, the little people, the monster, I don't know where to laugh at you.
Lu Shang was thoughtful.
Does your head still hurt?
Hurt.
Drink a bowl of porridge first, then take medicine, and don't go to the inn.
No, I take my medicine on time, I have to go to the inn, and I haven't handed over the ledger to Mr. Bookkeeper.
You don't understand what you're doing with the ledger.
Let's take a look at it temporarily, no.
He knows that you don't understand, so who can't let him see it?
How do you do everything? Go get the porridge.
It turns out that Lu Shang's suspicion is not superfluous.
An inn.
Xianyan looked at her face, she was swollen from the beating, Lu Tu didn't know where to die, the servant was clumsy, she could only apply it herself.
The mirror closed, and the bookkeeper of my inn walked in.
Cousin, your face.
The guy you're looking for is really hard!
I'm sorry, cousin, it's true that you don't fight, it's not like it.
It's okay. She just believed it.
So what do we do next.
Cousin doesn't want to bother you, I didn't expect Qiu Yu to say that if you recognize your relatives, you will recognize your relatives, I don't dare to persuade him, Lu Shang never believed me.
Her life is so big, she can't be killed.
There is no one in the world that I can't kill! It's been two years, Xiaomo is looking at me in the sky, but I'm sorry for Xiaomo. Xian Yan didn't dare to shed tears, and dipped it little by little with a handkerchief.
Cousin, don't worry, as long as you say it, I will do it.
I've already hurt my second grandfather, how can I hurt you again.
You must want to ask, Grandpa Fresh Fish is so good, why did it hurt him, and he sold us fish yesterday.
Fresh Fish Grandpa often has nightmares.
One day, he almost killed this grandson.
It's not swearing, it's really his grandson.
It's Xiaomo who suffers, and the child who is so little feels distressed when he thinks about it.
Can you find someone again?
There are not many criminals who want to behead.
Thank you, cousin.
Xian Yan is very busy, and after speaking, he came to the inn and ate here.
Said that the face hurts.
She saw that Lang Zhong was the money I gave, and I said a lot of polite words.
She still begs me for favors.
Don't give money for food, don't give money for housing, she is alone, she can't eat the inn poor, but she is such a scoundrel, do you say yes, not to mention that she is looking for someone to beat me, this matter, I have evidence and will not let her enter the door at all.
The bookkeeper asked me: "Shopkeeper, what does your second sister-in-law mean?"
You see him pretending, I didn't hear it at all.
You don't care. I saw him holding the ledger and asked, "What's wrong?"
He never brought the ledger over, there must be something wrong.
Nothing, nothing.
It's nothing? Let's be honest.
He held back for a long time and asked me: Did you move the account book as the shopkeeper?
I can't move?
The ledger has always been in my charge, and you will make mistakes if you mess around.
I'm a shopkeeper, and I can't touch the ledger of my inn?
You say, what is the truth of this?
Let's not be reasonable, something is wrong.
Shopkeeper's room.
I couldn't sit down at all.
What's wrong?
There's an account, and I can't figure it out.
Lost pages?
Pretty much.
It doesn't matter how big the account is, you don't have to count it.
It was the account of the year before last, a husband and wife, who lived for a month, and spent thirty taels of silver. At that time, only gave ten taels, I signed a contract with them in accordance with the rules of our inn, once a half month, the first and fifteenth of each month, but it was not so dead rules, the husband and wife were very creditable, a few days in the morning and a few days in the evening, that day, they said, I was not there, did you see them, remember?
Never.
That is, it didn't come? Impossible.
What kind of people?
A couple. Surname, surname flower.
Flower?
It shouldn't be, Zhang Zhenzhen's former maiden family was in the countryside, how could there be thirty taels of gold spent on the inn.
From the village of Blossoms?
Yes, I came to my son.
Really?
There are still two taels left, and I won't give it, but I think too much. Shopkeeper, go get busy.
That is, two taels of silver, I think how much. You blame me for messing around.
I'm sorry for the shopkeeper.
I walked out, and Qiu Yu came over.
Mother, why don't you rest at home.
Mother is fine.
That's not going to work, go home.
Mother, this inn is busy...... Ay!
My son picked me up.
My son carries you home.
Okay, go home, don't hold it like that.
Just hold it.
Mother is too heavy.
Unsinkable.
Xiaoyu, do you have any purpose?
Qiu Yu's eyes dodged: No.
Let my mother come down, my mother has something to tell you.
Qiu Yu looked at me seriously and let me down.
What's important?
From tomorrow onwards, you take care of the books.
I, I can't.
You can do it, my mother believes in you.
What happened to Mr. Bookkeeper?
The mother will find an excuse to let him leave.
I......
Don't hesitate, promise mother.
Qiu Yu cried and asked me: Mother, are you, are you, are you, want to leave me?
Mother is fine, obedient, help mother.
Okay, I'll help you.
What you see, what we say, is heard by Mr. Bookkeeper.
You've never seen anyone like this, eavesdropping on me in my room.
However, he was smart enough not to let me find out.
Next, you will see that Hu Yan's father and mother are here and meet the bookkeeper at an inn.
Aunt Hua can't cry.
What you said is true, my youngest son, it was Wen Guan who killed him?
Poisonous bones, broken hearts, needle brains, all her.
What did my son do to her, she did this!
You'll have to ask him.
Uncle Hua: Why don't you arrest her?
Arrested, didn't you let it go, the county marquis is her eldest uncle, and if she says she is not guilty, she is not guilty.
That......
Mr. Bookkeeper stared at the eyes of his old couple: It's useless to look for the government, the sons of the two of you are dead in vain. If you want revenge, you can only rely on yourselves.
Aunt Hua: How to do it?
Uncle Hua: I think it's still ......
Shut up! You don't want to avenge your child?
I think, but.
Don't talk nonsense if you want to.
I can't tell you yet, until I think about it.
Uncle Hua: Why are you willing to help me?
Because I am Lu Mo's cousin.
Since it is an alliance, Uncle Hua is relieved.
We're staying here, waiting for your news.
My maiden family.
Steward Zhang welcomed Lu Shang into the living room, and my father and my mother were sitting precariously, but they frowned.
I wasn't there when Lu Shang was called, and when I came back, I heard that I went to my mother's house, and when I heard Liang Xin, I was quite anxious, and I didn't make it clear, so I pulled Lu Shang and ran.
Father-in-law, mother-in-law.
My mother's smile was not kind, she didn't dare to say anything, she didn't dare to speak before my father, of course my father didn't beat women, but she was afraid of my father.
But when the son-in-law came, he couldn't be silent, so my mother was careful to observe my father's face and let Lu Shang sit down.
Dad, why are you in a hurry to call your son-in-law over?
It's not your lady yet, I drew half a picture, and you said, what should I do, just start work, and as a result, I almost died!
Okay, I'll talk about her later.
Yes, how can there be such a daughter.
Lu Shang thought: I just said that you shouldn't draw pictures at all, but complained about it, and said it won't work, stupid!
Dad, is there anything else you can do?
Daddy didn't expect you to come so soon.
Look at my father's face, I can't stand it, don't worry, listen to them first.
You heard Lu Shang say in his heart: Steward Zhang pulled me to run wildly, can you not be happy, dare you never see me panting.
My dad hesitated for a while before he said, "Dad wants to ask your eldest brother for a favor."
My brother doesn't know how to do business.
It's not a favor for business.
You can see that Lu Shang actually understood, but pretended to be confused.
What's the help, my eldest brother is not available.
I am your father-in-law, where did you come from without me, you refuse to help me, you are not filial, you will be thundered by the sky.
Look at what he said, what are these words!
I'm not here, I'm here, I have to refute him and pull Lu Shang away.
My mother: Master, the son-in-law's eldest brother is the county marquis, what do you have or find a son-in-law, don't embarrass the child.
Shut up, you are a woman, you understand, go back to your room.
My mother thought I would come back too, but she didn't see me last time she came back.
Don't embarrass your child.
Got it!
My mother patted Lu Shang on the shoulder: Don't be like your father.
Well.
My dad heard it and pouted silently.
Dad, my eldest brother really can't help, you see, if you need help, you tell me, I'll help you.
It is the responsibility of the craftsman to fall in the workshop, and I can't be responsible for everything.
I understand, I'm going to say, don't worry, you will be satisfied.
You want to ask Lu Shang why his attitude changed so quickly?
Think for yourself.
It's good that you can have this heart, but it's better to find your eldest brother, I have never asked your eldest brother, and your eldest brother will definitely be able to help with this.
If my father-in-law is reasonable, my eldest brother will not care.
It means that Lu Cheng doesn't help his relatives.
As soon as Lu Shang went out, he saw Mr. Ledger of my inn, Mr. Ledger didn't know that he was seen, let alone being followed, so he didn't know that what he and Xian Yan said was heard by Lu Shang.
