Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

Fan Yuanxi tapped the table lightly.

"Looking at the entire court, who would you choose?"

Fan Xu's immature face was full of hesitation.

"A king should avoid wavering."

Fan Xu sat on the seat and cupped his hands: "After all, my son still lacks some resourcefulness. It is really impossible to pick out a minister who can succeed King Lu in the current court."

"Yes." Fan Yuanxi smiled lightly, "How is Qi Zhen?"

"Master Qi was originally a famous general on the frontier, and he is quite prestigious among the military generals. Now he has become the Minister of the Ministry of War, taking over the civil post, and he has done a good job. But I heard that he is straightforward and impulsive, and offended the Minister of the Household several times And the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials sent him a few small officials, but he refused to accept them, saying that the Ministry of War would not accept sloppy scholars who could not carry their shoulders or hands. He's dissatisfied."

"If a person is perfect, no one will say that this person has no shortcomings, they will only say that this person is good at disguising, because there is no perfect person in this world. Qi Zhen has been a general and can play civil servants. Among the ministers He is the only one who can take the lead. If King Lu never comes back, Qi Zhen is the most suitable candidate to replace him." Fan Yuanxi said.

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Qi?"

"This Qi Zhen... Even I can't see through him, and it's normal that you can't see through him. However, their wishful thinking was wrong after all. I won't let anyone take Lu Yi's place." Fan Yuanxi said.

"It's just that in this way, the emperor's hand may not be able to approve all the papers!"

"It's okay." Fan Yuanxi said calmly, "Isn't there still you here?"

Fan Xu: "..."

Father, he is still young!

Why is it that other people's princes didn't have power until they were forty or fifty years old, but this prince has been listening to the government since he was seven years old, and helped to review memorials since he was eight years old?

The princes of other families have brothers who fight for power, but this prince doesn't even have a brother who fights for power.

It is really……

A little lonely!

"Father, the secret guard came to report that Concubine Lu was assassinated while investigating the sinking of the ship. By the time the secret guard got the news, she had been assassinated five times. I'm afraid there are only a few more now, and there are still people who continue to assassinate her. "Fan Xu said, "Concubine Lu is always a woman, and it's not safe to be outside all the time. She still has sister Yi by her side. If something happens, it will be a big deal. Why don't you call her back!"

"Immediately arrange a group of people to pick her up and bring her back by the way. She said before that she wanted to investigate the shipwreck case. I thought it was her property and she was more familiar with it, so I let her go. I never thought it would be so dangerous. If so, Then she can no longer investigate, and hand it over to Xingbu or Dali Temple to investigate."

Yueyang City, near the coast.

After meeting the family members of the last batch of victims, Mu Siyu apologized to them, paid the compensation, and returned to the temporary residence in a carriage.

Lu Zhiyun said: "Mother, those assassins yesterday are already the eighth batch of assassins."

"Everything that needs to be checked is almost done." Mu Siyu said, "Let's go back to the capital."

"From all this investigation, we can be sure of one thing, that is, there are people who have been following us. But those people commit suicide every time the assassination fails, and we can't keep alive at all."

"The assassins all have the same mark, a pattern of the moon. This means that they belong to the same organization. We can investigate which organization has the moon as the symbol. Moreover, they are persistent, presumably because they will not stop until they kill me , we will always have other opportunities to follow the vine."

On the second day, Mu Siyu brought Lu Zhiyun back to the capital.

The convoy hurried back.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhiyun asked.

"Miss, the carriage in front is stuck in the mud and can't get out, blocking the road." The coachman said, "The servant took a look, it seems to be a caravan, and the caravan is marked with the word 'Qin', which is the caravan of the Qin family." .”

Lu Zhiyun, who didn't intend to be nosy at first, heard that it was the Qin family's caravan, and said, "Go and see if they need help."

The coachman went to ask, and after a while he said: "Miss, they took this route for the first time. They didn't know there was a swamp here. Now ten carriages are stuck in the quagmire. I heard that we are the Lu family's convoy. , very excited, and said that we need our help.”

"Okay, then you guys can help!"

Mu Siyu, who had her eyes closed, said, "Since it's the Qin family's caravan, ask where they are located, what kind of business they are in charge of, and where they come from."

"Mother is right, you should be more careful. The Qin family's caravan is quite famous, if someone pretends to be the Qin family's caravan, it will not be difficult." Lu Zhiyun said.

The coachman asked the truth and reported the news to Mu Siyu and Lu Zhiyun.

"Mom, are you worried?"

"It's always right to be careful. But seeing how well they answered, there must be no problem. You just go to help." Lu Zhiyun said, "It happens to be possible to return to Shanghai North City from here, let's go to Shanghai North City to see the situation over there. .”

An hour later, the Qin family's caravan came out of the mud.

The caravan steward came to thank him.

"Madam, my surname is Qian. This time, thanks to the help of Madam's staff, our carriage was able to come out smoothly. I don't know how to repay Madam's kindness. It's getting late, and there is an inn two miles away from here, please. Madam, let me have a chance to express my feelings, and the next person will pay your rent, how about it?"

"Forget about the rent, it's right to help each other when you go out." Lu Zhiyun said calmly, "If you really feel embarrassed to owe favors, you can help us lead the way."

"Look at what you said, there is only one road. Even if you don't have a caravan, Madam and Miss can still find the inn. Madam and Miss are willing to give you a chance to take the lead, but of course I will be disrespectful."

The treasurer Qian left.

Lu Zhiyun said: "Just now the coachman said that it was the first time for them to take this road, why did he know that there is an inn two miles ahead?"

"These merchants have maps in their hands. The maps range from various countries to rural households, and there are detailed marks on them." Mu Siyu said, "Especially in recent years, maps have become more and more detailed. He knows It’s not uncommon for there to be an inn two miles ahead. It’s okay, let’s take a look, maybe it’s just an ordinary caravan.”

Before dark, they arrived at the inn.

"I'm sorry, all the guests, our inn is full today." The innkeeper said.

"I'll pay ten times the amount of money." Shopkeeper Qian said, "Get everyone inside to move out."

"Guest officer, you are also a businessman, so you should understand that this is not the way to do business." The innkeeper said in embarrassment, "Everyone is a guest, how can you drive the guests out?"

"Then what about us? We are not customers anymore?" said the boy next to Shopkeeper Qian, "You are not driving us important customers out now. We often go this way, and we will be your regular customers in the future. Do you know? ?”

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Oh, everyone, if we have money, how dare we not do this business? But we can't afford to offend the people inside!"

Lu Zhiyun said: "Mother, there are no more vacancies in the inn. There should be no other inns here, so we may have to sleep outside tonight."

"Lu Ye, go and find out if there are any nearby villagers who can stay overnight." Mu Siyu asked.

Lu Ye went to the innkeeper to inquire.

The innkeeper saw that these people were either rich or noble, and he was even more sincere and fearful.He pointed in a direction and said there was a village there. Although the villagers usually wouldn't stay with outsiders, they were not inflexible if they had enough money.

"Is it far?" Shopkeeper Qian asked.

"It's not far, it can be reached in a quarter of an hour."

Shopkeeper Qian walked towards Lu Zhiyun and Mu Siyu.

Lu Zhiyun was wearing a veiled hat, but judging from her figure and attire, it was not difficult to tell that she was a young and beautiful woman.

"Madam, Miss, the caravan below is still leading the way, Madam and Miss just follow along. It's getting late, and the road is not easy to travel, so please don't let the nobles have any mistakes."

Mu Siyu smiled lightly: "Do you know who we are?"

"I only know that Madam and Miss have helped me a lot, and I don't know anything else." Shopkeeper Qian said in a low voice, "The people in this inn are really hard to catch. If I'm not wrong, they should be taught by the very famous Luna Sect in the local area. people."

"Moon God Sect?" Lu Zhiyun asked, "What sect is this?"

"I heard that it is a sect that worships the Moon God. There are many believers. They usually help the people fight against injustices. If there is any injustice, you can also appeal to them. They will come forward to uphold justice."

"It's ridiculous." Qing Dai said next to her, "It's the court officials' job to uphold justice, they have done it, what do you want the court to do?"

"I don't know about this. I haven't heard of this sect before, and I only heard about it recently. But here, this sect has been around for a year, so it can be seen that it is not an ordinary small sect."

"Luna, the moon." Mu Siyu muttered.

Lu Zhiyun also had doubts when she heard the word "Moon God Religion". Now it seems that her mother and she want to go together.

The mother and daughter looked at each other.

"Let's find a place to stay first!"

Leaving the inn, they headed for the village.

It was just dark at this time, and the candlelight in the village was shining, as beautiful as the stars in the night sky.

Lu Zhiyun said: "Aside from other things, this village should be quite rich. Otherwise, almost every household in such a big village has lit candles, which shows that they don't care about this little money."

"That's right. But the country's economy is not bad now, and it's normal for people not to save as much as they used to. You still remember that our family was a strange thing in the village. Other villagers slept in the dark, and we had to light candles." , those who read books, and those who do carpentry work as carpenters, they are rare lighthouses in the village."

"Mother is right. Ever since the adoptive father came to the throne, the new policies have been promoted continuously over the years, and the lives of the people have become better and better. Lamp oil is indeed affordable."

"Even so, it's better to be careful."

The village is very big, since so many people want to stay overnight, they must ask the village chief to explain the reason.

The village head is an old man with a kind face and good intentions. Hearing that they are willing to pay the accommodation fee, he agreed without saying a word, and arranged for them some of the best houses in the village.

Mu Siyu and Lu Zhiyun lived in the village chief's house with their two maids.

After all, the village chief is the richest person in the village, and his house is also the largest, and the facilities in the room are quite good.According to the village chief, it was his daughter's room.His daughter had just married and the room was vacant.But the old couple cleans the room every day, just to make their daughter live comfortably when they return to her mother's house.

"Village Chief, I heard that you have a Luna Sect here." Mu Siyu said, "I heard that this Luna Sect is dedicated to fighting injustice, and it is a kind religion."

The village head lowered his voice and said: "Madam came from afar, have you heard about our Luna Sect?"

Lu Zhiyun glanced at Mu Siyu.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Her mother is absolutely perfect.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would question the Luna Sect, and they would never let the village chief relax so quickly.

"I know. It is precisely because I know that that's why I asked the village chief." Mu Siyu said, "To tell you the truth, we were in business, but we met bandits on the road. You said that these bandits really revived. In the Ming and Ming Dynasties, the imperial court sent officers and soldiers to suppress them, and it has only been a few years since they reappeared. It is impossible for the imperial court to guard these bandits every day, so our business people are pitiful, and we are always robbed."

"Madam is right. The imperial court is not omnipotent. After all, they are officials, and they put on a posture to show that they have tried their best. We ordinary people can't expect them to maintain it time and time again. The Luna Sect is different. Now, as long as we put down the lotus lanterns in that peony river and write down our grievances in the lotus lanterns, the Luna Sect will rule for us."

"Really useful?" Lu Zhiyun expressed doubts. "I don't mean to offend. I just think that the Peony River is quite big. What if the lotus lanterns are put in and scattered? Is it possible that the Moon God Sect guards the Peony River every day?"

"I don't know about that." The village head shook his head, "But Li Ergou's sister in our village was raped and murdered, and the government couldn't find the murderer. Li Ergou had nowhere to sue the officials, so he put down the lotus lantern and told his story. Injustice, guess what?"

"Someone died."

"That's right, he was dead, and the man also wrote a confession, and there was Li Ergou's sister's bellyband as evidence. The body was placed at the gate of the yamen, and the county magistrate immediately sentenced him to this sentence. Although the murderer is dead, But at least give Li Sanniu an explanation. People here say that the Luna Sect is the reincarnation of an immortal, and they can pinch and count, otherwise they will find out things that the government can't find out at once, so it's not a god!"

"Thank you, the village chief, for telling us this." Mu Siyu said, "It seems that we should also ask the immortals of the Moon God Sect to help us and see if we can get back our lost goods."

"No matter what happens tomorrow, let's settle today's matter first. Ladies and gentlemen, rest first, and the little old man will not bother you." The village head said with a smile.
