Warm fragrance cloud around

Fortunately, although the boy on the bed had his eyes closed, his chest was still heaving up and down evenly, and there was still a hint of warmth on his pale, almost transparent skin.

They are not late.

The two quickly looked at each other, Lin Junnuan understood what he meant, bent over to pick up the boy on the bed and rushed out of the room, while Cheng Jiangyun stayed behind to clean up the mess and deal with the angry Duke Lu.

"Stop! Where are you taking my people?!"

Within a few breaths, Duke Lu had brought a few servants with bloody faces to block the door, blocking Lin Junnuan's way.

Fortunately, the boy in his arms was very thin and light, so it didn't take much effort to hold him up. Lin Junnuan relied on his "advantage" of being short, and found a gap to get out of the human wall, and ran towards the Dali Temple. The guards shouted "Help me stop them" and rushed out of Duke Lu's mansion all the way to the nearest hospital.

Halfway through the run, the boy called "Brother" vaguely a few times, and then fell into a deeper lethargy.

The young man looked to be no more than ten years old. He was only wrapped messily in a large dark red robe. Most of his body was not covered. There were wounds and bruises all over his body. It was shocking to see new wounds added to old wounds. There were several wounds that were clearly inflicted not long ago, and blood oozed from time to time.

The old doctor in the hospital shook his head impatiently: "Whose child is this, how did he get hurt like this?"

Lin Junnuan couldn't go into details, she just said that she saw him fall on the side of the road, and there was no one else around, so she had to bring him to see a doctor, and let the doctor just take care of the treatment without worrying about medical expenses.

"The old man is still short of this medicine money!"

Seeing that she still couldn't tell the boy's background, the old doctor stopped talking, carefully took off the boy's robe, gently wiped off the blood on his body with gauze, and checked his whole body thoroughly.Fortunately, although the young man had many wounds, none of them hurt his vitals. The main reason for his weakness was years of malnutrition, insufficient food for many days, and... overwork.

At the end, the old doctor gave Lin Junnuan a look of reproach.

Lin Junnuan is not an innocent little white rabbit. She was mentally prepared when she found a teenager on Lu Guogong's bed. At this time, she had secretly scolded "old beast" several times in her heart, but when faced with a strange elder Shi was still thin-skinned, and patted his chest again and again to express that the boy's illness had nothing to do with her, and finally temporarily dispelled the old doctor's doubts, allowing him to prescribe the medicine with peace of mind.

Because he was worried that the young man would be too weak to bear the properties of the medicine, the old doctor asked the medicine boy to boil the medicine and also the hot porridge. When the young man woke up, he drank the porridge first and then the medicine.Lin Junnuan looked at the small clinic while watching them busy.

This medical clinic is not far from Duke Lu's mansion. It seems to be newly opened, and the facade is not big. The entire lobby is almost full of medicine cabinets, leaving only a small piece for the doctor to consult.Apart from her and the young man, the whole hospital seems to be only the old doctor and the medicine boy, and they are clean.

"I still have something to do, so he...stay here first?"

When Lin Junnuan thought of Cheng Jiangyun who was still in the Duke of Lu's mansion, she always felt that it seemed a bit dishonest for her to leave him alone.

The old doctor was concentrating on reading medical books, without raising his head: "Leave a name, and the boy will know who saved him when he wakes up."

Lin Junnuan put down a silver ingot, and waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about it, I will come later, this money will be used as medical expenses, use the best medicine, and I will make up if it is not enough."

"If there is an accident, where will the old man go to find someone?"

"Well," Lin Junnuan smiled slyly, "Just go to Dali Temple and find Cheng Shaoqing."

"Cheng Shaoqing?" The old doctor was taken aback for a moment, with a strange look on his face, "Cheng Shaoqing has something to do with this boy?"

"You also know Cheng Shaoqing?" Lin Junnuan secretly thought something was wrong. He wanted to use his name to make himself handsome, but unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance.

The old doctor's face was calm, and he couldn't see any emotion: "It's not considered acquaintance, but we have met a few times."

Lin Junnuan blinked: "Oh, to tell you the truth, this young man was actually discovered by Cheng Shaoqing, but he is not free for the time being, so he asked me to send him here."

The old doctor nodded lightly: "Since it is the person Cheng Shaoqing wants to save, I will definitely take good care of it. Your Excellency, please do it yourself."

The address suddenly changed from "you" to "Your Excellency". It seems that Cheng Shaoqing's name is really useful.Lin Junnuan took another look at the young man, perhaps because he slept comfortably and warmly, his pale face was slightly flushed, and his complexion looked much better, so he left the hospital in peace.

***

As for Duke Lu's mansion, after Lin Junnuan left with the boy in his arms, Duke Lu, who was furious, tried to lead people to chase after him, but was stopped by the people from Dali Temple. In his rage, he had to find Cheng Jiangyun to vent his anger.

"Cheng Shaoqing trespassed on his private house, and allowed his subordinates to take away my master's slaves. Does he still have the king's law in his eyes?!"

"House slave? The Duke is sure he is a house slave?"

Cheng Jiangyun thought of Duke Lu's cover-up just now, and his slightly flickering eyes when he was angry, and felt that this was not the case.

Duke Lu's voice was even louder: "No matter what his status is, it's not up to you to take care of people in our government!"

Cheng Jiangyun said neither humble nor overbearing: "Of course I can't control the private affairs of the Duke's mansion, but now that it is related to the murder case, I have to intervene."

"Murder case? What murder case?"

"A day ago, the body of an unknown man was found by Qiandiao Lake. Does the Duke know about this?"

"I know... I don't know, what does this matter have to do with our government?!"

Cheng Jiangyun took out the 500 taels of silver bills from his sleeve pocket, and shook them in front of Duke Lu: "This is the silver bills in the deceased's purse, and it has been found out that they came from the Duke of Lu's mansion."

"How is it possible, isn't it already..." Duke Lu murmured in a low voice, and quickly reacted, and said to Jiang Yun stiffly: "So what, my country's Duke is willing to do good things, and the money and tickets he sent go to the sea, who knows who will die?" Where did that bitch get it from!"

These words have already revealed too much information, Cheng Jiangyun took a breath, and his tone became gentle instead: "Don't worry, Duke, I just want to ask the identity of the deceased, and I don't intend to offend."

There is no intention to offend after such a big battle, I believe your evil!Duke Lu glared at Cheng Jiangyun several times, blowing his beard and staring with anger.

Cheng Jiangyun said again: "I have no choice but to do so. In fact, Dali Temple also received testimony that on the day of the incident, I saw the servants of the Duke's Mansion arguing with the deceased. I wanted to come here for a routine questioning out of caution."

"Who, who did you see?" Duke Lu unconsciously raised his voice, his eyelids twitching.

"I don't know the exact name." Cheng Jiangyun pretended to think for a moment, and then slowly said: "But the man is very tall, with a scar on the corner of his right eye, and a big mole on his neck. Do you have an impression?"

Duke Lu shouted loudly: "I have no impression, I don't know him, there is no such person in the Duke's Mansion!"

"There are many servants in the Duke's mansion, and the Duke of the Kingdom knows that there is no such person without thinking about it, and he is really well controlled."

Duke Lu raised his face and snorted coldly.

Seriously speaking, Duke Lu's rank is slightly higher than that of Jian Yuanhou, but now he has no rank and is almost forgotten in a corner by today's emperor. When facing Cheng Jiangyun, who is valued by the emperor and has a bright future, He even felt a bit weak, so he had to keep bluffing to cover it up.

"Since this is the case, this case has nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion. Can Cheng Shaoqing take someone away?"

"Not yet," Cheng Jiangyun put away the banknotes, and bowed to Duke Lu; "I hope Duke Lu will be accommodating and ask me to ask other servants of your mansion to collect evidence one by one."

"After all, it is a matter of human life. Many noble people discovered the corpse with their own eyes that day, and they have been paying attention to the progress of the case." Cheng Jiangyun casually read the names of a few people who were at Qianniao Lake that day, and looked at Lu Guogong with a firm gaze. .

"It's unreasonable! Don't push yourself too hard, kid!"

Lu Guogong was not a good-natured person at first, and his pent-up anger broke out immediately. He rushed forward and wanted to punch Cheng Jiangyun a few times, but he dodged lightly.Duke Lu grabbed Cheng Jiangyun's collar with his backhand, and stared at him fiercely, wishing to eat him alive.

The servants of the Duke’s Mansion also blew their noses and stared at each other, and confronted the people in Dali Temple. After a long stalemate, Cheng Jiangyun suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and broke off the fingers pinching his collar one by one: “Since the Duke It's inconvenient, and I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me, so I will take people away."

"Young man just now, since the Duke said he is a slave of your family, you can bring your body deed at any time and go to Dali Temple to ask your servants."

After speaking, he directed everyone in Dali Temple to restrain their aura, and left Lu Guogong's mansion calmly.

It is said that the sound of beating vases in the Duke's Mansion lasted until midnight.

Time went back to before the half stick of incense.

When Lin Junnuan left the hospital and came to Duke Lu's mansion again, he found a figure sneaking out from the side door. He took a closer look. The person had a scar on the corner of his eye and a mole on his neck. It was Qiansi. The tall man that Shopkeeper Jin mentioned.

He was afraid that he saw people from Dali Temple coming. He was worried that the case would be exposed and planned to escape from the Duke's mansion.

Lin Junnuan also knew how many catties and taels he had, so he would not eat well if he stopped people hastily, so he sneaked up after him, wanting to find out where he was hiding first, and then bring others here.

While stalking with both hands and tail shrunk, a ghostly figure suddenly popped up beside him. Lin Junnuan saw that it was the guard next to Cheng Jiangyun, who had set plates for them in the Jianyuanhou's mansion that night.

This guard was quite clever, and was ordered by his master to follow Lin Junnuan a few times. When Lin Junnuan ran out with the young boy in his arms, he also followed him. Seeing that she was stalking someone, he appeared. help.

With the help of the guards, Lin Junnuan successfully caught the servant who was trying to escape from Duke Lu's mansion, and asked the guards to secretly report a letter to Cheng Jiangyun. This was how the scene where Cheng Jiangyun led people away decisively just now happened.

But at this time, the servant who was brought into Dali Temple looked terrified, but he kept shouting: "You are wronged, my lord, the little ones are wronged, and people are not killed by the little ones!"

Cheng Jiangyun and Lin Junnuan stood in front of him with cold faces: "Then tell me, who killed him?"

"No one killed him!" The servant was terrified and resentful, "No one killed him at all, Mingyu that bitch, he committed suicide!"
