Chapter 003: Robbing People
The sky had not yet dawned, and the heavy snow had been falling all night, and the cold wind was also wanton, making the white lights and mourning flags that had just been hung around the beams of the house crumbling several times.
Qu Yunchu walked out of the firewood room with Lu Junguan, and his steps were difficult to step on the snow-covered road, and every step was creaking under his feet.
Seeing that he could already hear the shouting and scolding coming from the mourning hall, Qu Yunchu paused suddenly, and was about to continue moving forward after gathering his emotions, when a hand suddenly pulled her from behind.
She looked back and saw that Lu Junguan had retreated behind the four or five slaves carrying the lantern, standing in place with a preoccupied look.
"How?"
Qu Yunchu looked at her in confusion.
Lu Junguan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Zhiyi, you can escape, while the sky is unknown, the people in the house have not noticed it." ”
After speaking, he immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and forced them into her hand, and said solemnly:
"Go back and take your mother how far you can escape, how far can you escape, your relationship with your second brother is also mine, if I knew that you were angry and agreed to marry in, I would not persuade my mother."
Glancing at the place where the voice came from, she sighed heavily, and continued:
"You also know that the Lu family has been on the cusp of the new emperor's accession to the throne for three years.
The second brother has a deep relationship with the noble man in the palace, but the second brother has an accident at this juncture.
When someone comes to the government, in order to calm things down, they will try to find out that you are poisoned. ”
"I know, after all, someone has to be scapegoated."
Qu Yun Chuyun smiled lightly and stuffed the silver ticket back into her arms.
At this time, she can still think of escaping for herself, which is also rare, and she doesn't want to bother her anymore.
Pulling her hand tightly, she continued to walk forward without hesitation, and said as she went:
"Even if you leave the Lu family, you should go out openly, why do you have to be sneaky."
"But ......"
Lu Junguan is still not at ease.
"Nothing."
Qu Yunchu urged: "It's too late." ”
Fang Cai appeared in the Lu Mansion, I am afraid that it is not because of himself.
Lanhua has always had three ways to save the dead and help the wounded, those who are dying cannot be saved, those who are heinous cannot be saved, and the last category is those who have been locked by ghosts.
If you go against the sky, you will not only lose your merits, but you will also be counterattacked.
Although Lu Wenqian died unexpectedly, he was afraid that someone would have already taken the lead, and if he was hooked, he would really have no medicine and no doctor.
She had to hurry.
Lu Junguan saw that she had made up her mind, and she no longer persuaded her, and followed her to the mourning hall in silence all the way.
Only then could he clearly see the mourning hall covered with white flags, and Qu Yunchu saw a familiar figure beside the coffin.
He was prostrate to look inside the coffin.
"Raise your hand."
As soon as Qu Yunchu shouted, the ghost almost ran away, and disappeared from his eyes as soon as he slipped away.
Looking at his hasty escape, Qu Yunchu had to sigh silently again.
Ben also wanted to find him a theory about why he found such an undignified body for himself, but he ran away again.
I really don't have the strength to catch up with him for seven days and seven nights.
It's better to get a free body first and then worry about other things.
Lu Junguan looked at it very puzzled from the side, and asked weakly: "Zhiyi, who are you talking to?" ”
"Oh, it's fine."
Qu Yunchu pursed his lips and motioned for her to walk over together.
Hearing the shouts outside, the originally boiling mourning hall suddenly fell silent, and a pair of eyes full of hatred and contempt invariably threw themselves at Qu Yunchu, who was standing at the door.
"Junguan, what are you bringing her for?"
The first to speak out was Lu Yanchao's mother, Fahrenheit.
In the past, this woman was entangled with Yan Chao, but she learned that there was also a copy of "Lanhua Medical Sutra" in her family, and now that she has obtained this medical scripture, why bother to let her and her son brow at each other and make people gossip.
"You ungrateful slut, you begged to marry into my Lu family but didn't know how to cherish this hard-won blessing, and you also seduced your nephew to murder your own husband.
scolded her viciously, and even called someone to blow her away.
"Wait."
Lu Junguan thought that time was precious, so he didn't explain much, but simply blessed his sister-in-law, and then walked to the old woman who was sitting next to the coffin, and said in a low voice:
"Mother, the second sister-in-law said that she could detoxify the second brother, maybe the second brother can still be saved."
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
"It's a joke, you can also trust her words, if she wants to have this ability, I can fly to the sky and become a god."
The corners of Fahrenheit's mouth squinted, and he sneered.
Lu Baiting in the second room squinted at Qu Yunchu coldly, and also came out to persuade:
"Sanniang, don't follow this poisonous woman to mess around, the condolences will be sent to the house one after another, why don't you help your sister-in-law arrange the mourning hall soon, don't make your mother sad again."
Listening to the commotion around him, Qu Yunchu didn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to it at this time, but just looked at the mourning hall up and down without a deaf ear.
It was only a few hours later, and the mourning hall had been arranged so properly, and even the coffin had been prepared to seal the coffin, and it seemed that someone was really looking forward to Lu Wenqian's early death.
While the lid of the coffin was not sealed, she leaned her neck and leaned into the coffin, only to see a handsome and beautiful face at the bottom of the coffin.
Although the complexion is dull yellow, it is not the pale color that a person appears after a complete death.
Combined with his years of experience in medicine, this is at most a deep sleep, not a real death.
"Wait."
Seeing that several men had lifted the lid of the coffin and were about to seal it, she immediately shouted and stopped the movement of several people's hands.
stepped forward again to take a closer look, and saw a dark color faintly between Lu Wenqian's broad eyebrows.
The knotted black lump had penetrated deep into the center of the eyebrows, reaching the heavenly court.
Between the eyebrows is the life palace of people, and the life palace has been darkened, which will definitely affect the most basic fortune of people.
This is not like a simple poisoning, but more precisely, it is a kind of technique, which is caused by the use of some kind of chronic medicine to deplete people's essence and qi, causing the continuous invasion of evil spirits.
"I don't know who is so vicious."
Qu Yunchu looked at the coffin in a daze, and looked at the man lying inside, although his body looked a little thin, but the outline of his facial features was indescribably delicate and three-dimensional, the filament was like ink, and the skin was like cold jade, he was really a living sleeping beauty.
Before anyone came out to stop her, she carefully looked at the people in the coffin again, and began to flip through the strange things she had experienced over the years and the classics she had consulted.
She remembered that she had seen in a travelogue of a hidden master that there was a poison in the far south called Luohui, which was not as toxic as arsenic and crane top red, but if a small amount of it was ingested into people's diet every day, it would not be noticed at all, and in the long run, it would make people numb their limbs and fatigue, and gradually fall into a coma and deep sleep.
The so-called human beings live in one breath, and once the essence is prostration, it will lead to the invasion of evil spirits.
Combined with the original body's recent impression of Lu Wenqian, she roughly came to a conclusion in her heart:
I'm afraid that Lu Wenqian was killed by this poison.
When the men at the coffin heard the shouting, they looked around with the lid of the coffin, and became extremely embarrassed for a while.
After a long silence, the silver-haired old woman in ink clothes sitting next to the coffin slowly got up and began to stare at her.
There was chagrin and sullenness in his eyes, and all his thoughts were sprinkled at her:
"Do you know what you're doing?"
After a pause, her eyes became darker:
"You are also from a Qingliu family, but you have repeatedly done things that damage women's morality, and now you have to spread wilderness in front of your deceased husband's soul, how can your conscience be safe?"
Qu Yunchu recognized that this person was Jiang Rui, the old lady of the Lu Mansion, so he learned the tone of the original owner and said:
"If the mother feels that her daughter-in-law has lost her virtues, the official has already prepared a letter of resignation, and the daughter-in-law is willing to receive the letter of resignation.
It's just that people's lives are at stake right now, if it's someone else, the official has a strange poison in his body, but his mother didn't even find out what poison was and was buried in a coffin, which was too hasty. ”
"You deserve to mention that too?"
Jiang Rui was even more angry: "If it weren't for you, why would Qian'er be here." ”
What do you call me?
Qu Yunchu's stomach was bitter and there was nowhere to pour it.
The original idiot caused this mess, and he had to wipe her ass himself, which was really unreasonable.
But for the sake of the paper resignation letter, she could only endure this evil breath first, and argued with reason:
"Now everyone thinks that it is the daughter-in-law who has harmed the official, but there is no excuse for the crime that she wants to add, I think my mother knows best.
My daughter-in-law did not ask my mother to seek her innocence for me, but only asked my mother for permission to let her daughter-in-law diagnose and treat the official's pulse, so that the official would not be harmed by the adulterer. ”
She also knew that she shouldn't have mentioned the last few words at this time, but if she didn't express her suspicions in her heart, she was afraid that no one would let her save people.
As she expected, as soon as the conversation began, it attracted a full house of guidance:
"What a traitor, who else in this house would be so cruel to Wen Qian except you, a poisonous woman?"
"It's clear that you, a poisonous woman, are jealous of Wen Qian, who gave you a letter of resignation and became ill-intentioned."
Hua didn't know where this woman had the courage to go to the front of the hall to make a tiger, but thinking that her father was a palace doctor, she was worried that this woman was deliberately hiding in the past, so she moved out Lu Baiyong in the third room:
"You prostitute is not only good at seducing people, but also has the ability to speak honestly, not only a few doctors in the house, but even the third uncle has personally helped the second brother to help the pulse, the second brother has long lost the pulse, shouldn't he be allowed to settle in the ground earlier?"
Lu Baiyong has been in charge of the Lu family's pharmaceutical business, and his medical skills are quite prestigious in the entire Danzhou and even the entire Dayue Kingdom.
Looking at his niece and daughter-in-law's questioning eyes, he immediately stood up and swore in agreement:
"Wen Qian is indeed too deeply poisoned, his qi and blood are deficient, and he has no pulse."
"It's true that there is no pulse, but Second Master Lu is not really dead."
Qu Yunchu said with a determined look in his eyes.
Lu Baiyong's eyes sank: "Are you questioning the old man's diagnosis and doubting the old man's medical skills?" ”
"Since the third uncle believes in his medical skills so much, and he is a well-informed person, can't he even tell whether a person is really dead or fake?"
Qu Yunchu looked at his insincere eyes, and sneered coldly:
"The doctor is benevolent, the practice of medicine pays attention to looking, hearing and asking, the third uncle can judge life and death based on the pulse alone, so treating human life as a mustard is detrimental to yin morality."
Lu Baiyong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately lowered his head with a weak heart.
The reason why he persuaded his nephew and daughter-in-law Hua to arrange the funeral earlier, first, was that the third room had to point to Hua and Yan Chao's mother and son;
Moreover, he really couldn't find the cause of his nephew's illness, and he didn't want anyone to come out and overshadow him.
simply, he complied with Hua's wishes, compiled the strange poison in his nephew's body, and successfully helped Hua's and Yan's mother and son to completely take charge of the Lu family's family business.
