Chapter 54: Kind Donkey Lungs
When I heard the news that Lu Tu was arrested, I was at my parents' house with Qiuyu, returning to my parents' house on the second day of junior high school and returning home on the fifth day of junior high school, which was the first time I stayed for three days since I became a family.
Because my mother is ill, although my three aunts serve with all their hearts, it is not as good as my daughter by my side.
What's more, my father didn't find fault with me, there was a reason why he made a lot of money, and Zhao Caiyi was pregnant with a child again, more than three months.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, Lu Tu left and did not come back, until today, the fifth day of the new year, people are alive, but they have become the suspect in the murder of Xianyan.
Xianyan was indeed killed by him, and Gao Cheng was also injured by him, so in order not to be recognized, he could only abandon his beloved.
Xianyan died, Lu Tu didn't want to live, he guarded until the early hours of this morning, the water and rice did not enter, and he wanted to follow Xianyan to Huangquan, but he didn't expect the owner of this thatched hut to come back and quietly told the new junhou.
How did Xianyan escape, I have been robbed of prison, why can't I be careful in the cell.
Things have happened, and now, try not to let the second brother be condemned.
He said that the bright head was hit at least ten times, although Lu Tu drank alcohol, but at least five times when he was sober, and on his body. And the forgiveness of capital crimes? Wake up, the new marquis is not your big brother.
I don't care, I will not let my second brother cut off his head, if I can, I am willing to do it for him.
You don't care about me and my mother!
I can't watch your second uncle cut off his head, and she can't stand your grandmother.
You're grandma's son, too.
I......
Lu Shang, this is why you have been looking at your second brother to let him do this kind of thing, and you have to do it for him, Xiaoyu is more sensible than you.
In any case, the second brother can't die, he can't go to prison for the rest of his life, he killed a prison escapee, and I'm sure he won't be beheaded.
Sitting in prison for a lifetime is better than death.
There was also a thought, I missed him, we can still go and see.
He said so, what else can I say, he can toss if he wants, but he can't find me and my son.
Today broke five, it was supposed to be the day of eating dumplings, but no one was in the mood to wrap it, so I went back to the room to wrap it myself, and together with Qiu Yu, I cooked a big pot, beef peppers, pork and green onions.
Serve it to grandparents, uncles and aunts.
Qiu Yu took the two large plates and walked out.
What you see, as soon as Qiu Yu came out of Lu Cheng's room, he saw the new marquis.
My lord.
Is your mother there?
Absence.
Is your mother still at her mother's house?
Yes.
She came back and asked her to go to the officer.
Why?
Investigate the case.
Then I shouldn't see you, but go to the Hou Mansion.
Well, it's the official's inappropriate wording.
Coroner's room.
The bright face has been made up and restored to its original appearance as much as possible, I thought I would be scared, but I was quite calm. I still seem to be able to smell the perfume on her body, pungent nose.
I subconsciously fanned the wind with my hands.
I heard from your servant that Xianyan often came to your room, and did you know anything about the perfume she used?
She didn't tell me about it.
Anyway, why is this in the morgue?
Didn't mention a word?
I mentioned it, and I still have to use it, but I don't need it.
This sentence should also be said. Anything else?
Without.
Wen Guan, if you lie, this official can determine that you are an accomplice.
What do you mean? You say that I am an accomplice to whom, and you doubt that you want to tell the evidence!
You have to tell the truth to dispel your suspicions.
Why do you doubt me!
The officer just suspects that you helped her.
If you doubt, a public trial, why this? What the hell are you for!
The more I looked at this person, the more uneasy I became, and I shouted for help, but I heard something that frightened me into shouting louder.
Stop shouting!
I don't believe that you, the marquis, still dare to kill you.
You are the person who has been in contact with her the most except Lu Tu, and I am very suspicious of the perfume she uses, and I hope you can help me.
Why don't you go to a perfume maker?
Can't find it. Come to think of it, she has mentioned it to you.
Please help you, my uncle.
He is no longer a county marquis, and he is not qualified to investigate the case with this official, he can even let Xian Yan go, and his second brother is directly exempted.
Lu Cheng's ability to handle cases should not be underestimated.
How long did he check Broken Heart and Poison Bone? And the needle brain, how long did he check it? Not every case gave him enough time, this time it was just his luck that he met Qiu Yue without a father.
I really didn't hear Qiu Yue mention his parents, it was the first month, I was still in fear of being chased by wolves, a wolf fell ill and died, he peeled the skin, hung it outside with a horizontal and vertical stick, and called me out.
It was a few days after the beginning of autumn, and the beginning of autumn was at night.
I heard that the early autumn, the cold and the late, the hot cow.
It's still dog days, and it's like steaming in a pot all day long.
It's hotter outside.
I was upset and didn't want to go out.
Sister Xiaoguan, come out quickly, I have something good for you to see.
You see how much he lost when he was young, show me the whole wolf skin, you look at this wolf skin, the wind blows, at first glance it looks like a real wolf.
I went out and asked, "What's good?"
He pointed to the wolf's skin: Look.
Yes!
Tale: Wolf skin, what are you afraid of?
I cried for a long time, and he laughed and coaxed me.
How do you pick wolf skins?
I see that it is sick and dead, and you are still afraid, so take it down and let you see it, and you will not be afraid when you get used to it.
What, I was even more scared when I saw it, that's what I thought at that time, and I didn't appreciate his good intentions.
However, later, it turned out that he was right, not only was I not afraid of wolves, but I could also play with them, and the older ones were not afraid, because he was there.
But he also wants to go home, he won't always be with me, I'm going to go home too, but I can't forget the pain of the whip whipping me, and he asked me where I lived, and I didn't say, if he drove me away, I would go.
Of course he wasn't going to chase me away.
You are also disobedient.
I ate the corn he roasted for me and asked him, "Where is your house and when are you going back?"
I don't have a home, I don't have a father or a mother.
So where did you come from?
He roasted the corn, and I was reluctant to lose it, because he had asked for it from the owner, and he had to work more than anyone else.
I don't know, I can remember living here.
How can it be? Don't you look for it?
Of course I found it, and I found it.
Then you don't go home.
They don't want me anymore.
Why?
I'm redundant.
Then he didn't say anything else.
He's healthy and he's not stupid, so how can he be superfluous?
You're weird, aren't you?
Lu Cheng has been an official for 23 years and has rich experience, if you want to find out, you have to be assisted by him, you are young and flexible, and there is no case that you can't solve together.
Are you complimenting your officials?
You don't have the ability, can you give you the seat of the marquis?
How do you think his son who can cook became the marquis of Songren County?
He pondered for a moment and said, "Let your eldest brother come to see the official."
Lu Cheng was unwilling.
He is not qualified to investigate the case, and he will implicate us, I didn't think about it so much, I just wanted to find out as soon as possible.
My mother-in-law somehow heard about it, and I couldn't get off the stage in front of the guests.
She also heard that Xinjunhou and I were in the morgue with the door closed, and we went out for a long time.
I admit that I was too impulsive, but I don't accept slander.
Is the morgue open, she doesn't understand it at all, and besides, the room is air-conditioned and incomplete, how can Xinjunhou and I be charged with Lu Tu with our hands and feet against Xian Yan?
My new dishes, the dishes have to be transported from afar, the letter is replied after six days, first sent to Zhang Lulu, the other party is a relative of Zhang Lulu's mother-in-law's family, specializing in growing vegetables, buckle the greenhouse, and it is not cold in winter, and it costs a lot of money to transport it, but it is safe, fresh and convenient, protected by ice, and not frozen.
Zhang Lulu showed me the letter, and the other party said that it would be shipped in three days.
Green, thanks to your help, thank you so much.
You're still so polite.
Come and come, stay for two days and then go back.
No, your in-laws' house is too messy.
Only you are the closest to me, stay with me.
It's okay, but I'll have to go back after a few days, and the child misses me.
Understand, you want to stay for a few days.
I hugged her, I always missed you and them, you said, when can we get together together.
It's not easy to touch, why can't it be thirty years and fifty years.
Can you still walk?
Yes. However, I am afraid that my children and grandchildren will not be at ease.
That's really hard.
Hmph.
I looked at the door of the inn, and it was the new marquis in his usual shirt.
Green, I'll go over for a moment.
Okay, you go get busy.
The new marquis asked me to come out and said, "Your uncle is not willing to help me."
Do you want me to tell you?
Right.
I'll teach you, you just say, the stakes are very high, there are too many involved, and it is about whether Lu Tu is sentenced to death, please be sure to help. He definitely agreed.
The new marquis told Lu Cheng without changing my words, and Lu Cheng really agreed.
Three days later, the food arrived, and it was very fresh, as if it had just been plucked from the vegetable patch.
Lu Cheng also came, I know what he is doing, let him help move the vegetables.
Wen Guan, why can't you learn to be gentle.
I poured him tea, and he looked at the tea and asked me.
Why should I learn?
You know, Lu Tu will not go without the death penalty. My mother knows, come to ask me, and thank you, you are giving her hope and making her even more disappointed.
Can't you help?
Playing with the law? Murderers are also human lives and are equally responsible.
I understand. However, we don't know how this happened at that time, the law says that if you kill someone, you must have your head cut off, without investigating the cause and effect?
That's not what I'm talking about. He looked up at me, my mother had already decided that with my assistance, her second son would not die, once the head was cut off, how would you let her bear it?
I'm helping you, helping Lu Tu, but I'm still wrong?
You don't know how many catties and taels you have, the affairs of the Lu family, you don't care, I beg you.
After he finished speaking, he walked out, just as Lu Shang came, and he didn't pay attention to talking to him.
Lu Shang, your eldest brother......
Xiaoguan, you did not do it right.
What's wrong, if you don't kill someone, you have to pay for your life, if he goes crazy when he hits Mingyan, it means that he can't judge and control his behavior.
He himself has already told the story, isn't this self-deception, how did you become so stupid.
Anyway, I was kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Remember, don't do that in the future.
You also come to teach me, your family members have taught me, I am wrong, I am still guilty, or I will cut off your second brother's head?
You can't say if you're wrong?
Can you say that the brothers have come to talk about it, and they are still angry?
Well, stop crying.
This is my shopkeeper's room, he hugged me and coaxed, like a big dog sticking to me, coquettish, it seems that he should be coaxed, I am very angry, but I don't have the strength to push him away, I think he is not a member of the Lu family, how good it should be if he is disobedient, let's go away and fly high, go to another place to open an inn, I don't have to suffer from this nest.
Shopkeeper's!
How loud you listen to Li Cheng's voice, I can hear me when you call me on the first floor.
Don't be angry, you were wrong.
You heard Lu Shang actually use his coquettish voice to say to me, and rubbed my whole body into his arms like kneading dough.
I'm not a random kneading dough.
Li Cheng called me, I'll go out and have a look.
Will you forgive me?
Willing.
Seriously?
Fake. I pushed him away and walked out.
