Lu Hua Zhi You Feng Lin Lou

When Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou arrived at the God Detective Division, Bandit Wuzheng ordered the fat policeman to spread out the ten kilograms of pokeweed brought back from Mo's Medical Center on the floor.

Green leaves and white roots.

Hearing that the robber didn't explain the reason, Hua Manlou went to see his elder brother, who was having tea with Mo Daowan, playing chess, and reading scriptures.

"Let Miracle Doctor Mo come out and take a look, won't it make it clear?" Lu Xiaofeng knelt down and picked up half of it to look at it, wiped it with his fingers, but let out a groan, it turned out that the phoenix ring he was wearing with his index finger had just scratched a layer of skin, There is a hint of red.

"What's the matter?" Piao Wu also picked up one to look at, and rubbed it hard, rubbing off the outer layer.

"Oh! It was painted with paint." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, "This method of killing people is really not too troublesome."

The Pirates of the Dead police immediately dealt with these pokeweeds, but they were all cleared out very quickly. They were red and white, not all of them were red roots, about half of them were occupied.

"In this way, there is no way to judge which of the sold ones are poisonous." Packed into the medicine and sold out.

This kind of aimless investigation is definitely not enough manpower.

Piao Wu pondered for a moment, and said: "The leaked ones must be found, and I will report to Master Hong, asking him to send someone to help."

Six people have already died. It is not known how many people will die if such a drug is placed outside.

Lu Xiaofeng raised her eyebrows, reporting the incident to Hong Fenfen meant that there was a big trouble.

The people from Hua's Commercial Company also came over soon. He carefully looked at the medicinal materials on the ground, but he did not deny that they had brought them back.

"However, my lords, when I purchased this batch of medicinal materials, they were already washed, dried and cut into finished products. From the time we brought them back to the sale, we didn't do any processing on them." The old man under the court is not afraid of danger and has a clear mind.

Pi Wu asked: "Who is the supplier?"

The man from the firm said: "It's always been from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Our second master has ordered someone to investigate."

Lu Xiaofeng warned: "Hurry up."

The people from the business firm took his words and went back first accompanied by the arresting officer, waiting to be questioned by the arresting officer at any time.

In the room, Mo Daowan was dissatisfied standing on the stool because he lost the chess to Hua Manshe, and wanted Hua Manshe to play another ten games with him.Hua Manlou coaxed him down, saying that he would tell him a way to beat his elder brother.

Mo Daowan sat next to him beaming, you said, I told you to give you a good pill, I guarantee you will use it for the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

Hua Manshe shook her head helplessly: "Brother Mo, stop messing around. What time is it now? Let's think about whether anything happened that might be related to this case."

Mo Daowan curled his lips and said no!I have been copying scriptures for you, so I don't have time to mess with others.

"Brother, don't you need to go to the cabinet today?" Hua Manlou changed the subject.

Hua Manshe got up: "I'm going, I was waiting for you to come over just now, let's go together." The palace is not easy to worry about, so far I don't know what's wrong with the little emperor, and I insist on calling the two frontier kings back .

Mo Daowan wants to go with him, it's so boring to stay here alone.

"You stay here first, let Huaying accompany you." Hua Manshe didn't want Pirates to do it, "Just ask him to come to me if there is anything." Huaying is his personal bodyguard, and he is also very close to Mo Daowan.

Mo San thought for a while, it's better not to make trouble for him, and obediently went back to sit, shaking the chess piece in his hand: "I will definitely beat you when you come back."

Throwing this end to the bandits, the three of them went back to the palace.As soon as I walked to the Wenhua Palace, I felt something was wrong.

Sikong was squatting on a hundred-year-old banyan tree outside Wenyuan Pavilion, seeing the three of them from a distance, slipped down the tree and ran over to tell about the flooding of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Hua Manshe was shocked and hurried to the front.

Lu Xiaofeng asked Sikong: "What did it look like when it was burned?"

Wenyuan Pavilion is the royal library, imitating Tianyi Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the largest library in the capital. It is full of books and extremely precious.Moreover, in recent years, the emperor has gradually moved the cabinet to Wenhua Hall, and some matters in the cabinet will also be handled in Wenyuan Pavilion.

It can be said to be an important place.

"It's strange to say," Sikong said, "the fire was inexplicable. There was a lot of smoke, but it didn't burn much. When I arrived, the maids in the palace hadn't figured out where the water was coming from, and it was splashing randomly. A lot of books were destroyed. When I came to see, only one room was burning, and when I extinguished it, I found that only two or three shelves of books were burned.”

Huamanlou sighed it was a pity.

Lu Xiaofeng crossed his hips and sighed, only burned two or three racks, if they couldn't stand it, they just happened to be the ones they were looking for!

In front of Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Gui was throwing a tantrum, kneeling all the servants in the yard, the guards had already surrounded the whole building, a group of people were moving books out from several rooms where the water was splashed, and A few veterans were sitting on the ground slumped and gasping for breath.

When they just came out of the water, they were discussing political affairs inside.

Hua Manshe looked at the drenched books with distress, and stepped forward to salute the emperor.

Zhu Gui glanced at him, restrained his anger, and said, "Master Shang Shu came from outside the palace? With the imperial salary, it's fun to go to a private meeting with an old lover without doing business..."

"emperor!"

The palace people lowered their heads even more, their ears seemed to be deaf.

Hua Manshe raised her voice and shouted at the emperor, then lifted the sleeves of her robe and knelt down: "It is a crime for a minister to leave the palace without government affairs, and I am willing to accept the punishment, but please pay attention to your words, and don't forget the virtue of a king."

It was not the first time for such outspoken advice, Zhu Gui snorted coldly and did not speak again.

There is a rule in the court that those who are absent from work without reason can be imprisoned if they are absent for one day and can be sentenced to [-] sticks, and if they are absent for more than three days, it is inevitable for cabinet ministers to occasionally act cheaply according to local conditions.

"Come here, fetch the bamboo boards." Hua Manshe looked at Hao Shichen behind Zhu Gui, as if he had made up his mind to take the punishment himself.

Hao Shichen immediately lowered his head, pretending not to hear what he said.

"According to the rules, one day of absence from work will be punished with twenty small boards." Hua Manshe knelt on the ground, "I left the palace privately for a while today, and should be given ten boards. However, as a cabinet minister, if you commit a crime knowingly, you should be punished twice. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty, The rod is responsible for twenty."

Hua Manlou stood at the back, and was about to step forward to protect his elder brother, but was held tightly by Lu Xiaofeng.

Zhu Gui pressed the jade wrench in his hand and looked at the person kneeling on the ground: "Master Shangshu is really impartial and self-disciplined, what if I don't punish him?"

"I should go to Dali Temple to receive my sentence." Hua Manshe refused to budge.

The emperor's open-mouthed and moody character has always been his worry. As a ruler, he should act with benevolence, have the world in mind, and be neither sad nor happy. How can he be so dissolute and casual?

"Okay, very good." Zhu Gui's fingernail scratched on the finger, making a harsh sound, and half of his nail was broken, "Come here, execute the punishment according to what the minister said!"

Hao Shichen didn't dare to persuade him, so he quickly winked at the few ministers behind, but they were frightened by the thick smoke just now, and they haven't calmed down yet, and they don't understand why Hua Shangshu is about to be punished all of a sudden.

Seeing that the bamboo board was about to fall on Hua Manshe's back, Hua Manlou broke away from Lu Xiaofeng's hand, rushed over and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is willing to be punished on behalf of my brother."

Lu Xiaofeng pinched the center of his eyebrows, this would be tantamount to angering the little emperor.

Sure enough, Zhu Gui sneered: "Whoever asks for the punishment will bear it himself! Hao Shichen, stay and watch, and must follow Master Shangshu's words, hit twenty times hard, and there must be no less!"

Hua Manshe stopped Hua Manlou from continuing to speak, and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Gui glanced at him, and then ordered Hao Shichen: "Tie up all the servants in this palace. Since you can't even watch a building, it's useless to keep it." Then he flung his sleeves and left.

All the palace people kneeling on the ground fainted immediately upon hearing the words.

The emperor was angry, and the consequences can be imagined.

Lu Xiaofeng walked over and pulled Hua Manlou up, told him to calm down first, then walked over and said a few words to Hao Shichen.

Hao Shichen nodded repeatedly, and explained a few words to the servant holding the board.

Twenty beats, no more, no less.

Not everyone in the Hua family practiced martial arts, just like Hua Manshe, who practiced writing since he was a child, his body was stronger than ordinary scholars, and he didn't know any martial arts. Judging by the color of her lips, she suffered a lot.

Hua Manlou had wound medicine with him, and once the board was full, he immediately helped him to the next room to apply the medicine.

Hua Manshe wanted to refuse, but he stopped him by yelling "Brother".

It just so happened that Qian Zhong had already brought someone over, and he was not on duty today, so he rushed over immediately after receiving the news, and was startled when he saw this scene.

"Eunuch Hao go back and report back first, and then find a place to house these adults. Chief Qian and I will investigate the cause of the flood." Lu Xiaofeng arranged in an orderly manner.

Qian Chong sneakily asked Lu Xiaofeng what had happened, let's talk about it, who doesn't know how much the emperor attaches importance to Hua Manshe, today the two princes and ministers made such a fuss, just because of a Wenyuan Pavilion, and not many books were burned .

"Our emperor has some abilities, but he also has a really big temper." The two entered the room where two bookshelves were burned, and Qian Zhong complained quietly to Lu Xiaofeng.

"Why do you think he got so angry today?" Lu Xiaofeng asked him after checking the surroundings.

"How do I know?" Qianzhong touched the burnt black shelves. These wooden shelves had extremely high moisture content, because he knew that books are most afraid of fire, and generally it is not easy to burn. He leaned over and smelled it, and there was rosin The taste of fat is really artificial.

"Then tell me why only these two shelves were burned." Lu Xiaofeng continued to ask him.

Qianzhong turned to look at him: "Hey, I said Lu Xiaofeng, did you deliberately bury me or something, if you want to know, just say it."

Lu Xiaofeng picked up a bit of white ash from the ground: "This is lime, you can see that there is a circle of lime sprinkled around this shelf to prevent the fire, what does that mean?"

"Does it mean that the person who set the fire still has some conscience?" Qianzhong tried his best to think.

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes at him: "It's deliberately separated, it means that he only wants to burn this room, even these two shelves of books, and doesn't want the fire to spread."

"and then?"

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out two fingers: "There are two reasons for not wanting the fire to spread. One is that the arsonist is also a book lover. After all, there are many books in Wenyuan Pavilion. If the fire is not put out in time, the whole building will burn down." possible."

"What about Er?" Qianzhong felt that what he said seemed quite reasonable.

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin: "This place has long been the office of the cabinet ministers. Usually, besides the servants, there are also some ministers here. If the whole building catches fire, do you think these ministers will not be light-handed and powerless?" Can we escape?"

"So he doesn't want to kill people?" Qianzhong thought about it, "Then I'm not wrong, he still has a little conscience."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't even bother to turn his eyes to him, and glanced at the few ministers outside the door who were being helped to rest in the front hall: "Maybe he is just afraid of implicating one of them."

Qianzhong looked around, but there were no other traces left.This place is heavily guarded, and those who can set fire here are most likely to be the servants, so it is also a way for the emperor to arrest everyone.

"Let's go, let's go to the guards here and ask what books were burned."

"Wait a moment!"

The two of them were about to go out, Qian Zhong suddenly grabbed Lu Xiaofeng: "Hua Shangshu should also be handling affairs in the cabinet today."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, if it wasn't for the fact that Piwu didn't find himself and Huamanlou because of the Mo's Medical Center, he came to the palace and called them out, Huamanshe would probably be next door to those ministers when he walked away office.

"That's why that guy is so arrogant..." Qianzhong raised his chin and pointed eastward.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled without saying a word.

Qian Zhong fell silent.

That said, it's still important!
