Early in the morning, the sky is still hazy, the people of the city lord's mansion have begun to get busy, a carriage stopped in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, the horseman jumped out of the carriage and took out the ladder from the back of the car and put it away, someone lifted the curtain of the car, jumped out of a well-behaved little maid, she jumped down the ladder with a smile, and then turned to look at the curtain.

Brushing the curtain directly, his fingers were slender, and at first glance he was a young man, he leaned out, his hair was full of green silk, dressed in a silver-white robe, he stepped on the ladder and walked down slowly, looking up at the sky above the city lord's mansion, revealing a pair of black stone-like eyes in the mountains, with hazy mist and dew, a little cold and cool for no reason.

The little men guarding the door recognized this man, and one of them hurriedly came down to greet him.

"Lu Gongzi is done with this?"

Lu Bai nodded with a faint smile, and his tone was polite: "The matter is over, but I still have to bother in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days, and I don't know if the City Lord minds......"

The little guy understood: "The city lord didn't go out today, and Mr. Lu went in to find a random kid to introduce." ”

Lu Bai nodded in thanks: "Thank you." ”

After speaking, he walked all the way into the gate of the mansion by the gatekeeper and saw the little guy and found another slave wandering in the outer courtyard, and asked him to take Lubai to see the city lord.

Because the kid sent someone to ask about the city lord's movements in advance, after getting the news, he took Lu Bai all the way to the guest's room, and invited him in directly outside the door.

The city lord of Jiankang had already been waiting inside, and when he saw Lu Bai, he naturally greeted him warmly, and Lu Bai did not have a cold face, and chatted politely with the city lord of Jiankang.

"I don't know what happened to the deer?"

As the Jiankang City Lord sat down on the main seat, Lu Bai also sat down on the guest seat, and after the maid finished serving tea and snacks, he was waved away by the Jiankang City Lord, and the Jiankang City Lord looked at him.

"But it's not a lot of trouble to buy a garden in Jiankang, but it's fine in a day or two......"

The heart of the city lord of Jiankang moved, Lu Bai revealed some meaning before, but after the black-robed man made a request yesterday, he didn't dare to agree easily for a while, lest he wait for Lu Bai to open his mouth to propose marriage, etc., it was not good to say more on this issue, only said: "Lu Gongzi was originally for this matter, he should mention it with the old man, so as to save some effort." ”

Lu Bai said with a smile: "That kind of thing happened a few days ago, this little thing naturally didn't dare to alarm the city lord, and the juniors took the liberty to ask, I don't know if that case has eyebrows?"

The city lord of Jiankang sighed: "I am not afraid of Lu Gongzi laughing, until now the identity of some of the bones has been clarified, not to mention the clues on the side, I only know the time of death and the way of death, I am embarrassed, I can break it, and I have sealed the scroll and handed it over to Kyoto." ”

Lu Bai said: "After all, the murderer is too cunning, and so much time has passed, and the City Lord's Mansion is also involved, so it is naturally not a big investigation, and it is difficult to convince the public left and right, so it is not a way to throw off his hand like this." ”

The city lord of Jiankang praised: "What Lu Gongzi said is right, the western border is far away from Beijing, although the people and horses who saw off the city have not been out of the city for a long time, and they have not yet arrived, and they can only try their best to protect the safety of all the people in the city while waiting for news." ”

Lu Bai said: "The city lord is benevolent and righteous, which is admired by the younger generations. ”

The city lord of Jiankang was very useful, and his mood improved, and he became more and more satisfied with Lu Bai, feeling that his daughter was also very good with him, but the adult had already asked for Kang Nian by name, and his heart was entangled for a while.

Lu Bai fell to the ground and traveled in the mortal world for a long time, and he still had some understanding of the minds of mortals, and he could feel the avoidance of the city lord of Jiankang a few times when he tried to speak, but he didn't continue to ask, thinking about observing for two days, anyway, he was determined to win Kang Nian, but in this life, because of the sudden appearance of Hong Tuo and others, his plans were disturbed.

In his heart, he probably arranged the next things, Lu Bai chatted with the Jiankang City Lord in no hurry and got up and put forward a request to be here for a while, the Jiankang City Lord naturally would not refuse, but he was still worried that he would miss Kang Nian and cause trouble, and after Lu Bai went, he came to Mama Kang, who managed the backyard, and explained a few words to her, so that he could look at Kang Nian.

Mama Kang respectfully replied, and was about to retreat, when the city lord of Jiankang suddenly remembered something to call her back.

"How's Madame doing?"

Because of the heart-splitting case and other things, the city lord of Jiankang has not been to the backyard for a long time, and he only sent the little servant over to talk about anything, and he didn't care much about the problem of the backyard.

probably didn't expect the city lord of Jiankang to suddenly ask about Madame, Mama Kang paused: "Madame came in a little unpleasant, always crooked in bed, or just looking at other places in a daze." ”

The city lord of Jiankang looked indifferent, and did not have the reaction that a husband should have, so he only ordered: "Don't make trouble, please ask the doctor for the situation, it's okay to let Nian'er wait in front of her, she has to live!"

There was a bit of pity in Mama Kang's eyes, and she nodded yes.

The city lord of Jiankang asked again: "I heard that Kang Lang is well?"

For Kang Lang, Mama Kang seemed to like it too much, and her tone was a little cold: "The third son is well, and the courtyard is quieter." ”

The city lord of Jiankang nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "Where is Qing'er arranged, what are the fright?"

Mama Kang replied: "Arranged in Aunt Liu's courtyard, I was a little frightened yesterday, and I felt a lot better after Mr. Wu went to take a look." ”

The city lord of Jiankang sneered: "She has some ability, and she is worthy of being my daughter, what about Xiang'er and Si'er?"

These two are the eldest son Kang Xiang and the second son Kang Si, and the city lord of Jiankang seems to regard the two of them as future successors, and will ask as soon as he is free.

Mama Kang's face did not change: "As usual, I have worked hard." ”

The Jiankang City Lord nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't think of anything else he needed to care about for a while, so he asked, "What has happened in the backyard recently?"

Mama Kang thought for a while: "It seems that it's nothing, Aunt Liu and Aunt Yang are honest, and the girl didn't make a mistake, but ...... Miss Lu's corpse has stopped for these days, and Wu Gongzi didn't say how to arrange it, although the weather has been cooler recently, it is not suitable to be kept all the time, and there has been a bad smell in the past two days......"

After Mama Kang mentioned it, the city lord of Jiankang suddenly remembered that there was such a while.

"By the way, what is the reply from Master Wu's side on this matter?"

Mama Kang said: "After the eldest prince Wu accepted those two little girls, he didn't mention this matter again, but he went to the back mountain yesterday, and the fourth lady ...... I also went with it, and I don't know what I saw, and I was a little frightened when I came back, and I wanted to come back to the master after I got better, but I was shocked again last night......"

It's also pitiful, Mama Kang swallowed the rest of the words.

"It's good that you don't continue to blame, there are some forces in the Wu family, it's not easy to make enemies, I heard that before Lu Bai came, some family members came to the Wu family, and now the courtyard is surrounded by those family members?"

Mama Kang nodded, her eyes flickering a little: "Yes, all of them are guarding the place like a black face and not letting them approach." ”

The city lord of Jiankang sighed, after all, he still had a bad impression, and he only hoped that Kang Qing could take it as soon as possible, so he only said that he would go, so he waved his hand to let Mama Kang retreat.
