Chapter 3 Entering Beijing

In the following time, Lu Tong and Yinzheng asked around about the Lu family.

The day always passed quickly, and as evening approached, the two found an inn to stay in.

I was tired all the way, and I didn't have much to eat. Yinzheng asked the shopkeeper to prepare the meal, and Lu Tong sat alone in the room.

On the table was also a poria cake that the silver kite had bought from the woman, which was hastily opened, and was blurred into a dark mass by the burning half of the lamp.

Lu Tong's gaze was a little chilling.

She has been in the mountains for seven years, and her bags are surprisingly simple, and the most precious thing is nothing more than this medical box. I was looking forward to returning home, but I was waiting for bad news.

Fathers have always been strict in teaching their children, and when one of them makes a mistake, all three are punished together. When Lu Qian was young, he fought with his brother and made disrespectful remarks, so he was punished by his father with twenty rattan whips and personally came to the door to plead guilty. The entire Changwu County knows that the Lu family is strict, how can they steal money and humiliate others?

Lu Rou died, and it was even more strange that his father encountered a water accident on the road, Changwu County to the capital, it was also a waterway, and I had never heard of a shipwreck in the past. Why did my father have an accident as soon as he entered Beijing? And the mother...... Lu Tong's eyes darkened.

A family of four, frequent accidents within a year, there is no such coincidence in the world.

Lu Tong slowly clenched his palm.

Now that the mother's body has not been left, those people in Changwu County are not clear, Lu Qian's case, there must be a case file in the Beijing Mansion, and Lu Rou......

All the answers, maybe you can only go to the capital to find them.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Yinzheng walked in with a porcelain bowl, whispering: "I haven't eaten since noon, girl, I'll let them make some hot porridge...... And take a sip to fill your stomach. ”

She put the porcelain bowl on the table, turned her head to Lu Tong and said, "The side dishes will arrive later." ”

Lu Tong's gaze fell on the porcelain bowl, and he didn't move for a while.

Yinzheng looked at her face, thought about it, and couldn't help but persuade: "Girl, the festival mourning is ......."

She knew that Lu Tong had been away from home for many years, and now that she had returned to her hometown, it was inevitable that she would be sad. However, in this situation, Yinzheng racked his brains and couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he could only persuade stiffly.

Lu Tong asked, "Yinzheng, how long have you been following me?" ”

Yin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "...... It's been about half a year. ”

"Most of the year......" Lu Tong looked at the lamp on the table.

Yin Zheng was a little apprehensive, and after a while, he heard Lu Tong's voice coming: "So, let's separate here." ”

"Girl!" Silverkite looked at her in disbelief.

Yin Zheng is a Qinglou woman, who was sold into the joy by her gambling father since she was a child. She was born smart and beautiful, but she was ill-fated, and at the age of sixteen she contracted willow disease.

The old bustard refused to spend money for her to see the sick, and thought that she smelled bad and could not continue to pick up customers, so one night, he asked the little servant in the building to roll the silver kite with a mat and throw it into the mass grave on Luomei Peak.

At that time, Yinzheng was already dying, just waiting for his breath to fall, but he didn't expect to meet Lu Tong in the mass grave.

Lu Tong carried her back to the mountain and treated her, and later, Yinzheng was cured.

Yinzheng still doesn't know why Lu Tong appeared in the mass grave in the middle of the night, and she never asks more. This cold-looking girl seems to have a lot of secrets. However, since then, Yinzheng has been following Lu Tong. Lu Tong once told her that she could leave on her own, but Yinzheng is different from Lu Tong, she has no home and no relatives, and she doesn't want to be happy again.

But I didn't expect that Lu Tong would be rushed away again today.

"Girl." Yinzheng knelt down: "But what is wrong with the slave family?" She was a little surprised, "Why do you want to drive the slave family away suddenly?" ”

Lu Tong didn't answer her words and walked to the window.

It was late, the night was falling, and Changwu County at night was not as lively as the day, and it was as deserted as in the old days.

"You also heard it today, my Lu family is a family, and all of them died within a year." Lu Tong looked out the window at the long street, and the lanterns under the eaves were faintly flickering, reflecting the young girl's face extraordinarily brightly.

"I don't believe there are such coincidences in the world."

"Everything started because of the news of my sister's death, and now there is no one who is familiar with the Lu family in the entire Changwu County. If you want to find out the truth, you can only enter Beijing to confront the Ke family. ”

She said: "There is something strange about this matter, I want to enter Beijing." ”

"Into Beijing?" Yinzheng forgot Fang Cai's gaffe and said, "The slave family can follow the girl into Beijing together, why do you need to drive the slave family away?" ”

Lu Tong didn't speak, closed the window, turned around and walked to the table and sat down.

Poria cake is placed on the table, running around all day during the day, the pastry in the arms is broken, and the cake crumbs are blown by the wind, and the table is like a layer of hoarfrost.

Her voice was cold, as if it was through a thick fog, and there was a little cold: "Didn't the woman who sold cakes say that when my second brother went to Beijing, he became a villain who stole people's property and humiliated women. My father sued, and it happened that the ship fell into the water and sank. Even if my mother didn't do anything, the house would catch fire and be burned to the ground. ”

She looked at Yinzheng, her dark eyes shining brightly under the lamp: "If I enter Beijing, how do you know that I won't be next?" ”

Yin Zheng was puzzled at first, but when he understood the meaning of Lu Tong's words, a chill immediately appeared on his back.

The Lu family died strangely, not so much as if they had collided with something evil, but rather offended someone. It's just that the other party can easily annihilate a life, and ordinary people can do this?

Lu Tong looked at her, and his tone was flat: "Going to the capital here is dangerous." If I want to find out the truth about the Lu family, I must confront the people behind it. You are not related to the Lu family, so why should you get involved. It's better to leave here and live a good life in the future. ”

"Then the slave family can't leave!" Yinzheng raised his head and said seriously: "The girl is going to Beijing this time, and if she wants to do something, she will definitely need help. Although the slave family is not very good at hands and feet, it is okay to deal with people, and Xu can also help the girl inquire about the news. It is better for two people to enter Beijing than for one person. ”

Seeing that Lu Tong was still unmoved, Yinzheng said earnestly: "Besides, the girl also knows that the slave family has nowhere else to go except to follow the girl." Although the girl has cured my illness now, I can't tell when the disease will recur again......" Speaking of this, a real sadness was born in my heart, "There is only a girl in this world who does not dislike me." ”

She is a Fengyue woman who has a dirty disease, and ordinary people can't hide when they hear it, or they look at her with strange eyes. There is only Lu Tong, and she is no different from ordinary people. It was only by Lu Tong's side that Yinzheng felt at ease.

"The girl saved the life of the slave family, and the life of the slave family is the girl's. Even if there is a tiger's den in Longtan in front of you, and you go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, the slave family has to accompany the girl to break through. ”

Although the words were arrogant, the person who spoke was not confident, and only looked at the person opposite with anxiety, waiting for the other party to answer.

The room was very quiet, and after a while, Lu Tong said, "Get up, I'll take you with me." ”

Yin Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, for fear that Lu Tong would regret it, jumped up, hurriedly walked out, only smiled and turned his head to Lu Tong and said, "Then it's decided, the girl can't deceive people...... The side dishes should be ready soon, and the slave family urged them to send them quickly. The girl had eaten and rested early, and if she wanted to go to Beijing, she would have to travel again, and she still needed to recuperate, so she must not work hard......"

She walked away again. In the room, Lu Tong stood up.

Half of the lights on the table were almost burned out, and only a short section of the core was lit with orange fire. Lu Tong brought the lantern in front of the case, and the faint flame on the table shook and went out.

A little ember burst from the dry lamp and scattered around it, like a tiny flower at a glance.

The wick bursts, which is a good omen.

Lu Tong quietly looked at the embers in front of him. The light of the lantern was reflected in the eyes, like a scorching fire in the dark night.

Lights smiling......

With such a good omen, it seems that this trip to Beijing should be very smooth.
