Chapter 139
"It's impossible, although my move is strong, it is not fatal. "When I am shocked, there is something strange!
"I don't know the officials here. But, I think you should know my jade pendant. Hearing Xiaowu ask herself, she thought about it for a while.
This jade pendant, one of which is the symbol of the general, and the other is that it can be cut first and then acted on behalf of the emperor.
Turning the jade pendant in his hand, he said lightly: "What a big official can there be in this small town!" The next day, when he heard about this disaster, he shook his head and couldn't help but be glad that he didn't recognize the two of him that day, so it was convenient to find out. The son of the Lu family died strangely, and after thinking about it, he finally made up his mind.
Xiang Xiang was slightly in agreement with the Confucian disciple, and he also had his own plans in his heart, so he did not shirk: "I will do my best." ”
Just said that he did his best, and the few people he saw and heard yesterday were arguing in front of the stall, and he was extremely disapproving in his heart, and the reasoning was that the disciple of the soldier did it first, but the confusion in his heart aroused a little interest in exploring the truth.
With no waves on his face, he arched his hand and said, "In this case, I want to go to the academy to explore, so I will take the first step." ”
Now that you've done this, it's hard to get out. sighed lightly and secretly said that he didn't owe them anything, and he had encountered such miracles three times.
After that, he took his leave and went to the academy for a stroll on his own, not in a hurry and planned to wait for Lu Jiu to appear, and I don't know what kind of person Lu Junzi is, no matter how difficult it is, I can find a classmate of Lu Ping and ask. A white cloth was hung in the academy to prepare for Lu Ping's funeral. You found a few Lu Ping's classmates and asked, they all said that Lu Ping was talented and the most peaceful, but his younger brother was domineering, and he also reprimanded more, but it had no effect, and the family spoiled Lu Jiu, so he was angry and moved to the academy out of sight and out of mind. That morning, he gave a lecture in class, and talked with them about his hometown, but when he went back, he committed suicide, and several scholars burst into tears: "That soldier deceives people too much! He can only hate us for not being able to kill thieves!" Hearing this, he also sighed: "It's a pity that such good people are so good." ”
Then he went to comfort these readers, who were most likely to get into a dead end, so it was better to persuade them so as not to cause extraneous branches. The words were peaceful, and he deliberately persuaded them to let go of the mustard in their hearts: "A few brothers, please take a look, I heard that it was the son of the Lu family who was arrogant first, and then the latter was in trouble, in the end, the world is unpredictable, and we must not make a conclusion before the truth is unknown." ”
Then the conversation changed, and there was a little more tentative: "It's just that it's only a day...... Where did you hear about this?"
What he was thinking about in his heart was something else, listening to what these people said Lu Ping could still talk and laugh in the morning, how could he suddenly kill himself, and the Lu family brothers may not have a good relationship like this.
"Although I am not a scholar, I have also heard of the name of the gentleman of the Lu family," sighed a few more times, and said slowly, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch a glimpse of it, I don't know when the funeral will be held?" "Brother Tai is a person who knows etiquette," they clasped their fists one after another, "It's tomorrow," and then hesitated slightly, "We also listened to what our classmates said" Speaking of the specific source, everyone was very confused: after a moment of silence, he pretended to regret and sighed: "I didn't expect this gentleman of the Lu family to be willing to sacrifice for his younger brother so far, but unfortunately that Lu Jiu, the style of the previous few days was really inferior to his brother." I don't know if Lu Jiu can have a heart of remorse - that day, Lu Ping, there was really no abnormal......ity at all? It's kind of weird. "The relationship between Lu Ping and Lu Jiu is not very good, how can he be willing to apologize for him? What's more, Lu Jiu is still alive and kicking now!" The scholar said, "I see, it is clear that the soldier's family is arrogant and domineering, and it is not enough to hurt Lu Jiu, but also angry with Lu Ping! Jealous of his talent, he forced him to commit suicide!" did not echo his words, and instead asked: "Speaking of which, Lu Junzi went suddenly this time, and he was really confused, I don't know if the Lu family gentleman has any confidants and friends, or is he a red face......" and hurriedly said, " I don't mean to be offended, I just respect the gentleman as a person, and I want to investigate one or two, and I can solve a little knot in my heart. "This ......," the man hesitated, "as far as I know, he has only one pen pal with whom he regularly writes letters, and keeps his distance from all the ladies of the family. I couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "I see, I don't know if Brother Tai has heard Lu Junzi talk about this person?" I heard that it was a beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth, and Lu Ping also threatened to bring her to show them. Hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said
"That's what we mean, but we're going now... I'm afraid that we will be beaten out, so it is better for us to sneak into the Lu Mansion at night and find out. ”
After discussion, they went back to their rooms to prepare their things, changed into night clothes, and hid their dazzling silver hair, and before they knew it, it was sunset.
Mingyu came to the front of Xiaowu Room with his own fire gun, buckled the door, and when someone opened the door, he looked at him and smiled, and then went to the Lu Mansion to check.
After entering the Lu Mansion, he easily avoided the vigil and came to a side room, which must be the room of the Lu couple. While crying, he put away his relics, set up a mound on the spot with the useless things left, and sincerely dedicated, but deliberately did not use Taoist spells, but deliberately trembled, clumsy, and spent a lot of time before taking away the love letters and some books in the wooden box, and said goodbye to all the students
After going out, he was not in a hurry to change his clothes, but spread out the letter and probed in the corner with his money eye.
Then he confidently took out a letter with a handwriting similar to the notes on the book, which had not yet been sent, and went to the Lu Mansion to knock on the door and wept
"Excuse me, but the Lu family of Zhao Guo, I am Lu Gongzi's brother-in-law, I am here to mourn for my sister-in-law, please report it, here is a token, Lu Ping's brother-in-law's handwriting, you know it"
Anyway, to be spoken, if you look closely, this mansion is a fairly elegant mansion, but in the eyes of you who have seen the world, it is quite shabby. After a long time, someone greeted you, and after reading your letter, I was surprised: "We have never heard of Lu Ping's and a young lady who passed on the book of a wild goose!" No matter what, I still invite you to the flower hall. The jade pendant tied on the waist is engraved with the word "Jiang" on the back.
Shaking the flowing cloud fan in his hand, his heart was shocked.
Since they have already gone to the Lu family to investigate, why don't I go.
changed the green plain clothes on his body into a white dress with plum blossoms, and tied up the three thousand green silks. Dressed as a man, he walked to the door of Lu's house.
"Dare to ask if this is Lu Ping, Brother Lu's family?" If you don't listen carefully, where can you hear a woman's voice, like an elegant son.
"Exactly, this son, you are ......" looked at your jade pendant, his face suddenly turned cold, and he closed the door. "Wait, why do you have to close the door? I came here today because my little sister doesn't know how to be polite. ”
He bowed slightly, his face full of apologies.
He looked at the man, and his voice was hoarse.
"Little sister, I'm deeply ashamed to hurt Brother Lu's brother Lu Jiu!" "Today, I'm here to plead on behalf of my sister!" The person who opened the door obviously spoke fiercely: "Don't let you fake here! You return my eighth son!" "I'm a ......"
I wanted to use the existing clues to connect it together, but unexpectedly, there was a loud noise outside, and I subconsciously looked at it, and it also attracted the attention of the housekeeper, so I hastily explained.
"Although my family is not a famous family, but it is also a scholarly family, the family attaches great importance to Confucianism, and my sister only got acquainted with my brother-in-law's poetry and literature at the beginning, please don't misunderstand, but ...... It seems that there are more important people than me who need your hospitality."
Then he took a step back and let the housekeeper pass, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around to see if there was indeed a mourning hall or something, and you walked around the yard and found that everything was normal, just like any grieving family where Gongzi died. In the night, after knocking on the second watch, Xiaowu was dressed in night clothes, brought some things, and went out of the window with Ji Yue, and went straight to the Lu Mansion.
At this time, the room of the Lu family's parents was still lit, and Xiaowu and Ji Yue were lying on the roof and lifted a corner of tiles... I couldn't see it, and I lifted several more before I saw the top of people's heads.
It's not very clear, but it's okay to peek, but I don't listen very carefully.
"Yue'er, look. ”
(At this time, the landlord's judgment is required) the landlord who can't make it up: The people in it are very normal to grieve for the loss of their son, but you feel that they are more grieving for the loss of a support for the family than the loss of their son. "Although my little sister is a little heavier, how can she talk about 'still'!" looked at the person in front of him with a puzzled face, and unfolded the flowing cloud fan in his hand.
handed the fan to the person, and said lightly: "This is the fan that the little sister injured Lu Jiu that day, and there is no sharp blade on it, how can it kill people! Even if it is a sharp blade, everyone saw it at that time, my little sister just blew a gust of wind, how could it kill someone?"
"Although my Jiang family is not a famous family, it is also a family of Jiangmen. Besides, my little sister has been with this side of the frontier all the year round, and she strictly abides by the rules and teachings of my Jiang family. Considerate of the soldiers, and personally applied wound medicine to the soldiers. Dare to ask, such a person will also kill people for no reason? Even if it is a murder, she opened it and looked at everyone with the jade pendant. After all, in addition to proving the identity of the general, this jade pendant also has the ability to cut first and then play. Kill people, the government and the yamen don't even ask!" They obviously hesitated a little, and after a while, the old butler welcomed you in, and arched his hand: "I don't know that the general is coming, and I will miss the welcome." "Listening to the words of the girl at the door, I knew that it was Jiang Ning'er, and the secret way was not good, I discussed acting earlier, and wanted to save her, but I didn't know that the guy didn't know his kindness, and at this time he had no choice, so he just let it happen and fend for himself.
He continued to walk towards the pavilion, found a set of old servant clothes in the flower room, there was a smell of dust, but it could also be used, and after the change, he walked to the back kitchen, wanting to contact the Lu family by serving water.
Speaking of which, I should also thank Jiang Ning'er for restraining most of the domestic servants and housekeepers to let myself in You walked in, and Ning'er just left. The old housekeeper was discussing this matter with the head of the family, believing that the matter was not committed by the soldiers, but by a traitor. As a newcomer, he asked the old servants about Lu Jiu's room
"Ask you, where does the Ninth Prince live?"
"The little brother looks at the face."
"I'm new here, I've just come to work, I can't tell the difference"
"I guess too, it's over there"
Then he went to Lu Jiu's room and entered the courtyard, although he had a sense of magnificence, he was not grandiose, and he was a little stingy, but overall, in this county, I am afraid that he would also be regarded as a first-class person.
Facing the wooden door, he was not sure whether he should go in or not, so he shouted suicidly
"Nine Princes, there are some snacks in the kitchen, I brought you tea and water, can you put it down?" Lu Jiu seemed to be being confined and puffed up, and shouted to you: "Get out! I didn't see the uncle, I'm annoyed?" "The old lady said when I came, you don't have to mind too much when you call the child, although it is big at this time, it is not as big as the sky, and in addition, Fang Caibing's family also took the initiative to explain, I believe that the relationship with the ninth prince is not big, and please ask the ninth prince to eat something"
As he spoke, he pushed open the door, saw the angry Jiugongzi, poured the tea for him, handed it over, put it in his hand, stood aside, and whispered
"This matter is very strange, it can't be someone ...... to the ninth prince"
Speaking of halfway through, he took a step back and said, it is the small mouth that owes the arrogance, don't blame the ninth son, it is the small one that should be beaten, and it should be beaten "Someone deliberately framed it?" Lu Jiu went through those gentlemen who had a grudge against him, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "It must be the xx miscellaneous, I didn't grab a grudge with my beauty appreciator last time, or ......"
"Then the young master has to ask them carefully."
After that, he put down the tea, retreated, changed back into Taoist clothes, and walked away from the wall, planning to go back and have a good rest, and go to pick up the son of his own head early tomorrow morning
Then in the closing of the item, continue to walk in the bazaar by the sunset, at this time the market has long lost its former color.
Recalling the experience in the ghost mansion again, he sighed, and infinite grief and helplessness were born in his chest.
It can only be said that everything in the world is like this, you can use power to bully people if you have power, and you can use it arbitrarily if you have skills, causing thousands of waves, making yourself a little disgusting, and even nagging, in such a world, there is really no need to help them, but the matter has come to this, and there is no way to regret it.
The night came, the night was slow, and the darkness took away all the heat, including the crimson beating heart, "Thank you, old man!" and bowed to the old man.
Seeing the old man, he entered the house, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Then the moonlight and walking through the market. Ponder in your heart.
If someone is troubled in this matter, will he come to my Jiang family? If this matter spreads to the capital, what will my father and brother think, and how should the people of this world view my Jiang family. Could it be that my Jiang family has been loyal for generations and is now going to be destroyed in my hands. Could it be that my Jiang family is going to be destroyed in my hands!
Two lines of tears fell from his eyes, and tears wet his clothes. Walked slowly into the inn.
went back to the room and changed back into his green plain clothes. He still has the Flowing Cloud Fan in his hand. There was still a jade pendant engraved with the word "Jiang" on his waist, and he left the inn.
