Lu Hua Zhi You Feng Lin Lou
Chapter 9 The Man With Sad Eyes
With Huamanlou's discovery last night, Lu Xiaofeng had a new judgment on the case, and the two of them took the nasty little servant Huaping to the Ping'an Escort.
Because of Bu Sandao's death, the Escort Bureau has closed down, more than a dozen bodyguards are gathering at the gate, the noise is comparable to the last time they met the bearded people.
"Oh, now I believe that Yu Xi's words. This move of three swords really shouldn't be called a step. This Ping An Escort is really not safe at all!"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"Master, I'll call the door."
Hua Ping didn't realize that he was investigating the case at all, he thought he was following the young master to visit some house, so he volunteered to go up and knock on the door - he was really unwilling to serve the young master last night!
"Xiao Huaping, you are really a vase, you don't pretend to have any useful things in your mind!" Lu Xiaofeng gently pulled his little braids from the face - you are stupid, don't look at the troubles in the nest now!Why rush to join in the fun!
"I just pretend to be the young master in my head, what's the point of pretending to be something else?!" Hua Ping turned his head back, confidently.
......
——Hua Ping, you hid it deep enough, you are usually in a daze, but you can still talk so sweetly, I really didn't see it, Daxia Lu clicked his tongue, and felt a little inferior in an instant, didn't you?
"Let's go and see what's going on. I heard that Bu Sandao is old enough to have children, and there are only young children and widowed mothers in the house." Hua Manlou said at the right time.
Lu Xiaofeng had already loosened Huaping, and when he heard his young master's words, Huaping's two calves moved faster than the wheels, and immediately rushed over to check the situation.
"I can't tell, Hua Ping's qinggong is good!" Lu Daxia teased a young servant very enthusiastically.
"It can't compare to you, Hero Lu." Hua Manlou really didn't understand Lu Xiaofeng's bad taste—is it so fun to bicker with Hua Ping?I made fun of it once I saw it, those who didn't know thought he had taken a fancy to his little follower!Fortunately, Hua Ping is a boy.
Hua Ping came back soon, those bodyguards were indeed from the Pingan Bodyguard Agency, after Bu Sandao died, there was no one in charge, his wife planned to disband the bodyguard agency, and dismissed these bodyguards, and now they came to ask for Wages and compensation - after all, if you say dismissal, you will be dismissed. At this moment, they have nowhere to go, so they can only go home and eat.
"Just after the master died, they came to persecute the orphans and widows like this. They really don't care about the old relationship." Hua Manlou has a pure heart. Even though Bu Sandao has a lot of secrets, he can't bear to see someone taking advantage of the fire to rob.
"Since the playboy can't stand it, let's take care of this nosy business." Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his fists together—it should be very easy to teach the young bodyguards a lesson, and it can relieve the suffocation that the case has not progressed in the past few days.
"Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself." The playboy poured a basin of cold water.
......
"Then how do you get in?" After a while, Lu Daxia put down his rolled up sleeves.
"Huaping, enter through the side door." Hua Manlou had already planned.
"Hey!" Hua Ping replied loudly - look, it's better for their sons to advance and retreat, and handle things properly.
"Huamanlou, I feel like I'm getting more and more stupid." When the door opened inside, Lu Xiaofeng looked at the people next to him.
"Isn't it better to be stupid?" Hua Manlou turned his head to the side, his out-of-focus eyes were peaceful, as if everything in the world was still in it, "If you were stupid, you wouldn't have so much trouble."
"That's right." Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands together, "Okay! Once this case is solved, I will issue a notice to the whole world, saying that I, Lu Xiaofeng, am a fool. If you have any troubles in the future, please don't come to me as a fool again!"
Hua Manlou's expression froze: "Then I will be a sinner in Jianghu."
"Hahaha!" Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, "Hua Man Lou, you really trust people!"
Hua Manlou knew that he was teasing her, but she was not angry, but said helplessly, "Brother Lu, you like to joke."
"Daxia Lu, Young Master Hua, Madam invites you in!" It was the housekeeper who took the two of them to the flower field that day. He opened the door carefully and saw that there was no one else at the door, so he dared to open the door to let people in.
After entering the flower hall, there was a woman wearing white flowers on her head, a white scarf on her arms, and a light veil covering her face. A seven or eight-year-old boy was standing beside her, dozing off with red eyes.
"This is our wife." The steward introduced to the two of them, they greeted them quickly, and Mrs. Bu also brought her son to meet them.
"Hero Lu, Young Master Hua." Mrs. Bu was still young, she looked weak and weak, perhaps she was overwhelmed with grief, the feeling of being overwhelmed by the wind, Lu Xiaofeng naturally felt a sense of pity.
"Madam Bu, we are here for the murder of Bu Escort. Although we know that your house is in troubled times and we shouldn't come here to disturb you, Bu Escort died for no apparent reason. I believe Madam and the young master also want to find out who killed him. I hope Madam will help us find clues." Lu Xiaofeng took a step forward, softened his voice and said in sync with Madam.
Huamanlou knew that Lu Xiaofeng had an old problem, but he didn't expect him to have such thoughts about widows, so he shook his head helplessly, turned his body sideways, and looked elsewhere.
"I don't know martial arts, and I don't know about Jianghu. I have already told the government what I know. I really don't know if there are any other clues." Mrs. Bu's voice was hoarse, obviously shed too many tears recently.
Lu Xiaofeng felt really sorry for her - such a woman I feel pity for, not to mention marrying to Bufu, but also suffering from the loss of her husband, she is really jealous of her beauty!
"It's okay, I'll ask, just tell me what you know." Handing over a handkerchief, Daxia Lu comforted him carefully.
Mrs. Bu hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take it, and turned her head to wipe away her tears slightly.
According to Mrs. Bu, that subordinate's surname is Liu Mingjin, and he is an effective bodyguard under Bu Sandao. He has been in Bu Mansion for many years, and he is a local and has not yet married.
"Then how good is Liu Jin's relationship with Bu Escort?" It sounded normal, Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin and asked.
"It looks good, but I don't know the details." Mrs. Bu has never paid attention to this matter.
"Then what is his relationship with Lu You?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.Lu You was the bodyguard who had been to Sanzhang Village.
"Lu You?" Mrs. Bu thought for a while, "Oh, it must be his sworn brother!"
"Sworn brother?" Lu Xiaofeng was surprised.
"That's right. The two of them entered the mansion at the same time, and they often sent out escorts together. They are always together. I heard from the maid next to me that they called each other brothers in private." Mrs. Bu recalled.
Now even Hua Manlou turned his head, looking at Lu Xiaofeng clearly - as expected you guessed it right.
"Does Madam know how Lu You died?" Overheard in Bu Mansion that day, Bu Sandao mentioned that Lu You was dead.
"Lu You is dead?" Mrs. Bu was very surprised, "I don't know about this concubine, I only know that he sent a dart alone a few months ago, and he came back after a long time. After returning, I haven't seen him in the house again. He's gone, probably going home."
"Does the lady know where his home is?"
"He is from the city and should live near the south of the city."
The case had a breakthrough, and Lu Xiaofeng was also very happy. After asking a few more questions, he got up and left—of course, he did not forget to comfort the beautiful woman before leaving.
When he left Bu Mansion, he went around the gate and found that the bodyguards gathered there had disappeared, and Hua Ping, who had just disappeared for a while, jumped out from nowhere.
"Master, I have done everything you said!"
Hua Ping stood next to his young master, with a look of begging for praise.
"Very good." Hua Manlou nodded, "You have nothing to do here, you should go back to your residence first."
Hua Ping's small face collapsed: "Master, Hua Ping wants to stay and accompany you to solve the case."
"I don't need manpower here now, I will let you come when I need it." Hua Manlou said.
"Yes, yes, your young master doesn't need you now, go back to Hua Mansion and be your little housekeeper!" Lu Xiaofeng went up happily to chase him away.
Hua Manlou had a helpless smile on his face - he is so grown up and still loves to play so much, he is completely out of shape.
Hua Ping doesn't care about Lu Xiaofeng, going up to drag his young master is just a spoiled meal.
Huamanlou's behavior is rarely unsatisfactory, as long as the other party asks for something and the request is reasonable, he will not be hard-hearted.Hua Ping knew his young master's temperament, so after all this hard work, he really stayed.
"Thank you sir!"
The happy Hua Ping turned his body to look at Lu Xiaofeng triumphantly - hum, this is my young master!
Lu Xiaofeng bared his teeth at him—I want to beat you, kid!
Knowing the relationship between Liu Jin and Lu You, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou became more certain about their previous guesses, but the matter between Lu You and Sanzhang Village is still an unsolved mystery, and Liu Jin only killed Lu Youzhi to avenge his death. It is still unknown whether there is another reason, so Lu Hua and the two of them did not go back to the inn, but went directly to the south of the city.
Xianghe is not a big place, and naturally there are not many people in the south of the city. Lu Xiaofeng and the others saw an old man sitting at the corner of the alley, who seemed to be basking in the sun.
"Old man, there is a stage up front, and there are businessmen, why don't you watch the excitement and sit here alone?"
Lu Xiaofeng tugged Hua Manlou's sleeves, and the two of them walked over - Hua Ping had already been sent back to the inn by Lu Xiaofeng to order lunch.
The old man raised his head slowly, his face was lined with wrinkles, full of traces of time passing, he squinted his eyes for a while, but Lu Xiaofeng and the others didn't wait for an answer.
"Will this old man not hear?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Hua Manlou.
"Do you think I know?" Hua Manlou replied with a smile.
......
"Old..." being speechless by Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to increase the volume again, approaching the old man to ask, but he interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Old man, I can hear you." The old man said, his voice was also slow, as if at this age, his words, his thoughts, his days, everything about him slowed down.
"I can hear it!" Lu Xiaofeng straightened his back - he could hear it but pretended not to hear it, the old man was too good at playing.
"Old man, I'm asking you for someone." Hua Manlou said.
"Who is it?" The old man moved his eyes to Hua Manlou - oh, what a handsome young man, the second girl next door doesn't have a husband's house yet, my old man thinks this is not bad!
"Do you know someone named Lu You? He used to be a bodyguard in the Ping'an Bodyguard Bureau." Hua Manlou was used to treating people with kindness, and naturally there was no difference because he was old or young, rich or ordinary.Little did he know that his approachable attitude won the favor of the old man even more, he slowly stood up against the wall, pulled someone away and walked home—— Er girl, look at what a handsome young man my old man brought back for you!
Well, people didn't even listen to what Hua Manlou was talking about!
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to drag Hua Manlou back, but the old man saw that his bones were brittle, so if he did it himself, he might be able to drag him to pieces.
"Brother Lu, let's go take a look with this old man. It's not too late to ask someone who can talk." Hua Manlou carefully supported the old man, and turned to Lu Xiaofeng who was still struggling.
Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to follow - although Lu Xiaofeng was undefeated among flowers, compared to Hua Manlou, he really couldn't beat old men and old ladies!
After basking in the sun, a handsome young man came out. The old man was obviously very satisfied, and he started calling the second girl when he pulled him into the house.
"Third Grandpa." A pretty little girl came out of the room. She was dressed in a farmhouse, and she couldn't hide her beauty. A few small freckles on her nose made her playful and cute. Not only her third grandpa, but also two young The handsome son blushed immediately, and hid behind a small tree without showing his face.
"Girl, come here quickly, see Third Grandpa bring you a good-looking and polite young man, come and see, don't be snatched away again!"
"Hey! Third Grandpa, don't talk nonsense!" The second girl was anxious and shy, but a tree that had lost all its leaves in early winter couldn't stop people.
"You little girl, why are you ashamed!" The third grandfather pulled Huamanlou past him and pushed forward with a look of hatred, "If you don't like this, you will become an old girl, and it's useless to be shy by then! "
Not to mention Hua Man Lou who is the protagonist, but Lu Xiaofeng who was just standing by and watching was frightened by this sturdy old man. He has heard of forced marriages, but he has never seen such a cruel one with his own eyes. Bring people home directly!
"This girl is in Huamanlou. He is Lu Xiaofeng. The two of us just came to inquire about someone. When we met the old man sunbathing, we just asked. The old man brought us here. Don't be afraid." It was Hua Manlou who was careful, knowing how to consider other girls' face, and quickly explained.
The second girl just moved out from behind the tree, still not daring to look at the two of them, she stared at the top of the tree and said, "You... are you here to inquire about who?"
"A bodyguard named Lu You, do you know him?" Lu Xiaofeng leaned over.
"Brother Lu?" The girl was startled, and then her eyes turned red.
"You know me?" Hua Manlou couldn't help asking when she heard the difference in her tone.
The second girl burst into tears, covered her face and ran back to the room, closing the door tightly.
......
"What's going on?" Lu Hua and the two looked at each other.
"Say! Where did you two come from, and what did you do?!"
Suddenly shouted angrily, looked back, the old man felt a wooden stick from nowhere, waved it and rushed towards the two of them.
——Old man, your waist, your legs...
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou dared not hide, did not dare to block, for fear that an accident would make the old man fall by himself.
Seeing that the wooden stick was about to hit Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand without thinking, and took the hit for him.
Sure enough, the old man hit someone else, and he was also shocked to take a few steps back before standing still.
"Old man, speak slowly if you have something to say." Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his arms—the old man is quite strong, but just now he treated him like a son-in-law, and now he just took the stick, the change of face has become too fast, right?
"Old man, do you know Lu You?" Hua Manlou knew that Lu Xiaofeng had stood in the way for him, and hurriedly persuaded him, "We have no malicious intentions on this trip, we just want to know how Lu You died and find out the truth for him .”
The old man was out of breath: "Aren't you really here to ask for trouble?"
"Of course not." Hua Manlou took a step forward, standing in front of Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng looked at his little movements and curled his lips.
"Just say it, the old man! How could such a handsome young man like you be a bad guy?"
......
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to hit a tree - this old man can really talk to himself!
After expressing his intention, the old man known as the third father asked the two to sit down in the yard, sighed, and told them about Lu You.
It turned out that Lu You's house was just a few houses away, and the third father and the others were also neighbors. They were engaged to the second girl since they were young, and later they joined the Ping An Escort to work. Everyone happily waited for him to earn money Afterwards, he and the second girl had wedding wine, but Lu You, who had become a bodyguard, went home less and less often, and the marriage with the second girl was delayed again and again.
Everyone guessed that he met other dirty women outside, but he came back suddenly two months ago and hid in his room all day without saying a word, and there seemed to be someone sneaking around his house all the time. So, after four or five days like this, Lu You finally came out of the room, saying that he was going to the Yamen, but he was carried back after a while, and he was said to have fallen into the river and drowned.
"Poor baby!" Father San wiped away his tears, "There is a river in front of our house, I have loved swimming in it since I was a child, why did I get drowned?"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "Is there any other abnormality on Lu You's body?"
The third father thought for a while: "It seems that there is a piece of paper in his hand. Second girl!"
The second girl with red eyes opened the door and came out of the room, handed Lu Xiaofeng a torn piece of paper, and sat down next to the third father with her head down.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at this piece of paper, it was a piece of ordinary letter paper, it was crumpled, and it could be seen that it had been soaked in water.After reading it, he handed it to Hua Manlou, who took it, first touched it, then put it under his nose to smell it, and then shook his head at him.
"Did anyone else come after Lu You's death? Has anyone seen this piece of paper?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Third Father.
The third father shook his head: "Lu You's family has only one elderly mother, and there are no relatives or friends."
Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled when he heard this.
"Yes." A mosquito-like voice sounded, and the second girl said, "I saw a man in front of Brother Lu's grave."
"What kind of man?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"A very sad man." The second girl said with tears in her eyes again, "He stood in front of Brother Lu's grave, did not speak, but kept crying."
"Then what?" Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Hua Man Lou - this man was probably Liu Jin.
"Then I asked him why he was crying, and he said that a very important person had died." The second girl recalled, "I asked him if he was Brother Lu's friend, and he said he was not worthy to be Brother Lu's friend, and then I took I bought that piece of paper and wanted to give it to him as a souvenir, because I think brother Lu hopes to have him as a friend."
"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng wondered.
The second girl thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, once Brother Lu came back, I met that man. They talked and laughed happily together, but Brother Lu only let him walk to the entrance of the alley and let him go back."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded - from now on, that person must be Liu Jin without a doubt.
"After he took the piece of paper, his expression was very agitated, and he returned the paper to me, and then left."
"Did he say anything before he left?" Hua Manlou asked beside him.
"He said to let Brother Lu wait for him." The second girl wiped her tears with an embroidered handkerchief. The man must be Brother Lu's friend. The man bleeds but does not shed tears. Now thinking of the sad expression on the man's face in front of Brother Lu's grave, she can't help but Can't help crying.
Lu Xiaofeng squeezed Huamanlou's fan - it seems that the murderer must be Liu Jin without a doubt!
Could it be that the one who killed Lu You was Bu San Dao?What secrets are hidden on this piece of paper?
Because of Bu Sandao's death, the Escort Bureau has closed down, more than a dozen bodyguards are gathering at the gate, the noise is comparable to the last time they met the bearded people.
"Oh, now I believe that Yu Xi's words. This move of three swords really shouldn't be called a step. This Ping An Escort is really not safe at all!"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"Master, I'll call the door."
Hua Ping didn't realize that he was investigating the case at all, he thought he was following the young master to visit some house, so he volunteered to go up and knock on the door - he was really unwilling to serve the young master last night!
"Xiao Huaping, you are really a vase, you don't pretend to have any useful things in your mind!" Lu Xiaofeng gently pulled his little braids from the face - you are stupid, don't look at the troubles in the nest now!Why rush to join in the fun!
"I just pretend to be the young master in my head, what's the point of pretending to be something else?!" Hua Ping turned his head back, confidently.
......
——Hua Ping, you hid it deep enough, you are usually in a daze, but you can still talk so sweetly, I really didn't see it, Daxia Lu clicked his tongue, and felt a little inferior in an instant, didn't you?
"Let's go and see what's going on. I heard that Bu Sandao is old enough to have children, and there are only young children and widowed mothers in the house." Hua Manlou said at the right time.
Lu Xiaofeng had already loosened Huaping, and when he heard his young master's words, Huaping's two calves moved faster than the wheels, and immediately rushed over to check the situation.
"I can't tell, Hua Ping's qinggong is good!" Lu Daxia teased a young servant very enthusiastically.
"It can't compare to you, Hero Lu." Hua Manlou really didn't understand Lu Xiaofeng's bad taste—is it so fun to bicker with Hua Ping?I made fun of it once I saw it, those who didn't know thought he had taken a fancy to his little follower!Fortunately, Hua Ping is a boy.
Hua Ping came back soon, those bodyguards were indeed from the Pingan Bodyguard Agency, after Bu Sandao died, there was no one in charge, his wife planned to disband the bodyguard agency, and dismissed these bodyguards, and now they came to ask for Wages and compensation - after all, if you say dismissal, you will be dismissed. At this moment, they have nowhere to go, so they can only go home and eat.
"Just after the master died, they came to persecute the orphans and widows like this. They really don't care about the old relationship." Hua Manlou has a pure heart. Even though Bu Sandao has a lot of secrets, he can't bear to see someone taking advantage of the fire to rob.
"Since the playboy can't stand it, let's take care of this nosy business." Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his fists together—it should be very easy to teach the young bodyguards a lesson, and it can relieve the suffocation that the case has not progressed in the past few days.
"Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself." The playboy poured a basin of cold water.
......
"Then how do you get in?" After a while, Lu Daxia put down his rolled up sleeves.
"Huaping, enter through the side door." Hua Manlou had already planned.
"Hey!" Hua Ping replied loudly - look, it's better for their sons to advance and retreat, and handle things properly.
"Huamanlou, I feel like I'm getting more and more stupid." When the door opened inside, Lu Xiaofeng looked at the people next to him.
"Isn't it better to be stupid?" Hua Manlou turned his head to the side, his out-of-focus eyes were peaceful, as if everything in the world was still in it, "If you were stupid, you wouldn't have so much trouble."
"That's right." Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands together, "Okay! Once this case is solved, I will issue a notice to the whole world, saying that I, Lu Xiaofeng, am a fool. If you have any troubles in the future, please don't come to me as a fool again!"
Hua Manlou's expression froze: "Then I will be a sinner in Jianghu."
"Hahaha!" Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, "Hua Man Lou, you really trust people!"
Hua Manlou knew that he was teasing her, but she was not angry, but said helplessly, "Brother Lu, you like to joke."
"Daxia Lu, Young Master Hua, Madam invites you in!" It was the housekeeper who took the two of them to the flower field that day. He opened the door carefully and saw that there was no one else at the door, so he dared to open the door to let people in.
After entering the flower hall, there was a woman wearing white flowers on her head, a white scarf on her arms, and a light veil covering her face. A seven or eight-year-old boy was standing beside her, dozing off with red eyes.
"This is our wife." The steward introduced to the two of them, they greeted them quickly, and Mrs. Bu also brought her son to meet them.
"Hero Lu, Young Master Hua." Mrs. Bu was still young, she looked weak and weak, perhaps she was overwhelmed with grief, the feeling of being overwhelmed by the wind, Lu Xiaofeng naturally felt a sense of pity.
"Madam Bu, we are here for the murder of Bu Escort. Although we know that your house is in troubled times and we shouldn't come here to disturb you, Bu Escort died for no apparent reason. I believe Madam and the young master also want to find out who killed him. I hope Madam will help us find clues." Lu Xiaofeng took a step forward, softened his voice and said in sync with Madam.
Huamanlou knew that Lu Xiaofeng had an old problem, but he didn't expect him to have such thoughts about widows, so he shook his head helplessly, turned his body sideways, and looked elsewhere.
"I don't know martial arts, and I don't know about Jianghu. I have already told the government what I know. I really don't know if there are any other clues." Mrs. Bu's voice was hoarse, obviously shed too many tears recently.
Lu Xiaofeng felt really sorry for her - such a woman I feel pity for, not to mention marrying to Bufu, but also suffering from the loss of her husband, she is really jealous of her beauty!
"It's okay, I'll ask, just tell me what you know." Handing over a handkerchief, Daxia Lu comforted him carefully.
Mrs. Bu hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take it, and turned her head to wipe away her tears slightly.
According to Mrs. Bu, that subordinate's surname is Liu Mingjin, and he is an effective bodyguard under Bu Sandao. He has been in Bu Mansion for many years, and he is a local and has not yet married.
"Then how good is Liu Jin's relationship with Bu Escort?" It sounded normal, Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin and asked.
"It looks good, but I don't know the details." Mrs. Bu has never paid attention to this matter.
"Then what is his relationship with Lu You?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.Lu You was the bodyguard who had been to Sanzhang Village.
"Lu You?" Mrs. Bu thought for a while, "Oh, it must be his sworn brother!"
"Sworn brother?" Lu Xiaofeng was surprised.
"That's right. The two of them entered the mansion at the same time, and they often sent out escorts together. They are always together. I heard from the maid next to me that they called each other brothers in private." Mrs. Bu recalled.
Now even Hua Manlou turned his head, looking at Lu Xiaofeng clearly - as expected you guessed it right.
"Does Madam know how Lu You died?" Overheard in Bu Mansion that day, Bu Sandao mentioned that Lu You was dead.
"Lu You is dead?" Mrs. Bu was very surprised, "I don't know about this concubine, I only know that he sent a dart alone a few months ago, and he came back after a long time. After returning, I haven't seen him in the house again. He's gone, probably going home."
"Does the lady know where his home is?"
"He is from the city and should live near the south of the city."
The case had a breakthrough, and Lu Xiaofeng was also very happy. After asking a few more questions, he got up and left—of course, he did not forget to comfort the beautiful woman before leaving.
When he left Bu Mansion, he went around the gate and found that the bodyguards gathered there had disappeared, and Hua Ping, who had just disappeared for a while, jumped out from nowhere.
"Master, I have done everything you said!"
Hua Ping stood next to his young master, with a look of begging for praise.
"Very good." Hua Manlou nodded, "You have nothing to do here, you should go back to your residence first."
Hua Ping's small face collapsed: "Master, Hua Ping wants to stay and accompany you to solve the case."
"I don't need manpower here now, I will let you come when I need it." Hua Manlou said.
"Yes, yes, your young master doesn't need you now, go back to Hua Mansion and be your little housekeeper!" Lu Xiaofeng went up happily to chase him away.
Hua Manlou had a helpless smile on his face - he is so grown up and still loves to play so much, he is completely out of shape.
Hua Ping doesn't care about Lu Xiaofeng, going up to drag his young master is just a spoiled meal.
Huamanlou's behavior is rarely unsatisfactory, as long as the other party asks for something and the request is reasonable, he will not be hard-hearted.Hua Ping knew his young master's temperament, so after all this hard work, he really stayed.
"Thank you sir!"
The happy Hua Ping turned his body to look at Lu Xiaofeng triumphantly - hum, this is my young master!
Lu Xiaofeng bared his teeth at him—I want to beat you, kid!
Knowing the relationship between Liu Jin and Lu You, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou became more certain about their previous guesses, but the matter between Lu You and Sanzhang Village is still an unsolved mystery, and Liu Jin only killed Lu Youzhi to avenge his death. It is still unknown whether there is another reason, so Lu Hua and the two of them did not go back to the inn, but went directly to the south of the city.
Xianghe is not a big place, and naturally there are not many people in the south of the city. Lu Xiaofeng and the others saw an old man sitting at the corner of the alley, who seemed to be basking in the sun.
"Old man, there is a stage up front, and there are businessmen, why don't you watch the excitement and sit here alone?"
Lu Xiaofeng tugged Hua Manlou's sleeves, and the two of them walked over - Hua Ping had already been sent back to the inn by Lu Xiaofeng to order lunch.
The old man raised his head slowly, his face was lined with wrinkles, full of traces of time passing, he squinted his eyes for a while, but Lu Xiaofeng and the others didn't wait for an answer.
"Will this old man not hear?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Hua Manlou.
"Do you think I know?" Hua Manlou replied with a smile.
......
"Old..." being speechless by Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to increase the volume again, approaching the old man to ask, but he interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Old man, I can hear you." The old man said, his voice was also slow, as if at this age, his words, his thoughts, his days, everything about him slowed down.
"I can hear it!" Lu Xiaofeng straightened his back - he could hear it but pretended not to hear it, the old man was too good at playing.
"Old man, I'm asking you for someone." Hua Manlou said.
"Who is it?" The old man moved his eyes to Hua Manlou - oh, what a handsome young man, the second girl next door doesn't have a husband's house yet, my old man thinks this is not bad!
"Do you know someone named Lu You? He used to be a bodyguard in the Ping'an Bodyguard Bureau." Hua Manlou was used to treating people with kindness, and naturally there was no difference because he was old or young, rich or ordinary.Little did he know that his approachable attitude won the favor of the old man even more, he slowly stood up against the wall, pulled someone away and walked home—— Er girl, look at what a handsome young man my old man brought back for you!
Well, people didn't even listen to what Hua Manlou was talking about!
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to drag Hua Manlou back, but the old man saw that his bones were brittle, so if he did it himself, he might be able to drag him to pieces.
"Brother Lu, let's go take a look with this old man. It's not too late to ask someone who can talk." Hua Manlou carefully supported the old man, and turned to Lu Xiaofeng who was still struggling.
Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to follow - although Lu Xiaofeng was undefeated among flowers, compared to Hua Manlou, he really couldn't beat old men and old ladies!
After basking in the sun, a handsome young man came out. The old man was obviously very satisfied, and he started calling the second girl when he pulled him into the house.
"Third Grandpa." A pretty little girl came out of the room. She was dressed in a farmhouse, and she couldn't hide her beauty. A few small freckles on her nose made her playful and cute. Not only her third grandpa, but also two young The handsome son blushed immediately, and hid behind a small tree without showing his face.
"Girl, come here quickly, see Third Grandpa bring you a good-looking and polite young man, come and see, don't be snatched away again!"
"Hey! Third Grandpa, don't talk nonsense!" The second girl was anxious and shy, but a tree that had lost all its leaves in early winter couldn't stop people.
"You little girl, why are you ashamed!" The third grandfather pulled Huamanlou past him and pushed forward with a look of hatred, "If you don't like this, you will become an old girl, and it's useless to be shy by then! "
Not to mention Hua Man Lou who is the protagonist, but Lu Xiaofeng who was just standing by and watching was frightened by this sturdy old man. He has heard of forced marriages, but he has never seen such a cruel one with his own eyes. Bring people home directly!
"This girl is in Huamanlou. He is Lu Xiaofeng. The two of us just came to inquire about someone. When we met the old man sunbathing, we just asked. The old man brought us here. Don't be afraid." It was Hua Manlou who was careful, knowing how to consider other girls' face, and quickly explained.
The second girl just moved out from behind the tree, still not daring to look at the two of them, she stared at the top of the tree and said, "You... are you here to inquire about who?"
"A bodyguard named Lu You, do you know him?" Lu Xiaofeng leaned over.
"Brother Lu?" The girl was startled, and then her eyes turned red.
"You know me?" Hua Manlou couldn't help asking when she heard the difference in her tone.
The second girl burst into tears, covered her face and ran back to the room, closing the door tightly.
......
"What's going on?" Lu Hua and the two looked at each other.
"Say! Where did you two come from, and what did you do?!"
Suddenly shouted angrily, looked back, the old man felt a wooden stick from nowhere, waved it and rushed towards the two of them.
——Old man, your waist, your legs...
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou dared not hide, did not dare to block, for fear that an accident would make the old man fall by himself.
Seeing that the wooden stick was about to hit Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand without thinking, and took the hit for him.
Sure enough, the old man hit someone else, and he was also shocked to take a few steps back before standing still.
"Old man, speak slowly if you have something to say." Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his arms—the old man is quite strong, but just now he treated him like a son-in-law, and now he just took the stick, the change of face has become too fast, right?
"Old man, do you know Lu You?" Hua Manlou knew that Lu Xiaofeng had stood in the way for him, and hurriedly persuaded him, "We have no malicious intentions on this trip, we just want to know how Lu You died and find out the truth for him .”
The old man was out of breath: "Aren't you really here to ask for trouble?"
"Of course not." Hua Manlou took a step forward, standing in front of Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng looked at his little movements and curled his lips.
"Just say it, the old man! How could such a handsome young man like you be a bad guy?"
......
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to hit a tree - this old man can really talk to himself!
After expressing his intention, the old man known as the third father asked the two to sit down in the yard, sighed, and told them about Lu You.
It turned out that Lu You's house was just a few houses away, and the third father and the others were also neighbors. They were engaged to the second girl since they were young, and later they joined the Ping An Escort to work. Everyone happily waited for him to earn money Afterwards, he and the second girl had wedding wine, but Lu You, who had become a bodyguard, went home less and less often, and the marriage with the second girl was delayed again and again.
Everyone guessed that he met other dirty women outside, but he came back suddenly two months ago and hid in his room all day without saying a word, and there seemed to be someone sneaking around his house all the time. So, after four or five days like this, Lu You finally came out of the room, saying that he was going to the Yamen, but he was carried back after a while, and he was said to have fallen into the river and drowned.
"Poor baby!" Father San wiped away his tears, "There is a river in front of our house, I have loved swimming in it since I was a child, why did I get drowned?"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "Is there any other abnormality on Lu You's body?"
The third father thought for a while: "It seems that there is a piece of paper in his hand. Second girl!"
The second girl with red eyes opened the door and came out of the room, handed Lu Xiaofeng a torn piece of paper, and sat down next to the third father with her head down.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at this piece of paper, it was a piece of ordinary letter paper, it was crumpled, and it could be seen that it had been soaked in water.After reading it, he handed it to Hua Manlou, who took it, first touched it, then put it under his nose to smell it, and then shook his head at him.
"Did anyone else come after Lu You's death? Has anyone seen this piece of paper?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Third Father.
The third father shook his head: "Lu You's family has only one elderly mother, and there are no relatives or friends."
Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled when he heard this.
"Yes." A mosquito-like voice sounded, and the second girl said, "I saw a man in front of Brother Lu's grave."
"What kind of man?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"A very sad man." The second girl said with tears in her eyes again, "He stood in front of Brother Lu's grave, did not speak, but kept crying."
"Then what?" Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Hua Man Lou - this man was probably Liu Jin.
"Then I asked him why he was crying, and he said that a very important person had died." The second girl recalled, "I asked him if he was Brother Lu's friend, and he said he was not worthy to be Brother Lu's friend, and then I took I bought that piece of paper and wanted to give it to him as a souvenir, because I think brother Lu hopes to have him as a friend."
"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng wondered.
The second girl thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, once Brother Lu came back, I met that man. They talked and laughed happily together, but Brother Lu only let him walk to the entrance of the alley and let him go back."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded - from now on, that person must be Liu Jin without a doubt.
"After he took the piece of paper, his expression was very agitated, and he returned the paper to me, and then left."
"Did he say anything before he left?" Hua Manlou asked beside him.
"He said to let Brother Lu wait for him." The second girl wiped her tears with an embroidered handkerchief. The man must be Brother Lu's friend. The man bleeds but does not shed tears. Now thinking of the sad expression on the man's face in front of Brother Lu's grave, she can't help but Can't help crying.
Lu Xiaofeng squeezed Huamanlou's fan - it seems that the murderer must be Liu Jin without a doubt!
Could it be that the one who killed Lu You was Bu San Dao?What secrets are hidden on this piece of paper?
