ancient criminal minds

Fengguo Temple is located on a mountain twenty miles outside Yanjing City. The mountain has no name, but it is extraordinarily lively because of the existence of such a Buddhist temple with a lot of incense.

Although Yun's status was noble, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he still got out of the sedan chair like everyone else and climbed up with his feet.Lu Zheng wanted to support his mother, but he was robbed of the opportunity to show his affection. It is also very interesting to see the dignified British Duke following Yun's side with a fawning expression on his face.

Besides, although the weather is cold, the sun is out today. It is also very good to take a walk in the mountains and smell the fresh air.

Probably because of such fine weather, there were so many people going to Fengguo Temple to pay respects to the Buddha. There are many pavilions for pilgrims to rest, and they are also guarded by battalion soldiers to prevent too many people from crowding.

Although Yun's body is good, after all, he has been pampered for many years, and his waist and legs are already weak after climbing halfway up the mountain, so he can only rest temporarily.

The pavilion was not too big, so apart from their family of three, there were only Nanny Yu and a few serving maids, other than that, there was only a pair of master and servant who had been sitting in the pavilion before.

The young lady is only fourteen or fifteen years old, her face is as delicate as a flower, she is sitting on a stone bench beside her, frowning and hammering her calf, while the maid beside her keeps trying to persuade her: "...you try harder Let’s go, we’ll be at the top of the mountain soon.”

"I don't want it." The young lady turned her head angrily, and immediately saw the group of them, her face blushed, and she pulled the maid to sit in the corner.

Lu Qing and his wife didn't care about such trivial matters. The maids had already laid out the cushions in an orderly manner, and served tea and snacks.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yun realized that her son was absent-minded, so she asked, "Is Zheng'er tired?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and showed a smiling face: "I just remembered a case I saw at my elder brother's earlier."

Yun said with a smile: "When you interrogated Mrs. Dong that day, I knew that my son is talented. If you are interested, I will ask your brother to find a place for you in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It's just a matter of words."

Lu Qing moved his mouth, but did not speak.

The understatement of Yun's words made the master and servant in the corner smack their tongues. The young lady is just the daughter of a rich family. There are many sisters, so she is not very conspicuous. The family found a piece for her. Marriage was nothing more than a poor student, and she was not angry, so she lost her temper when going up the mountain, and stopped to rest halfway up the mountain. She didn't expect that there would be such a splurge of wealth and honor in front of her eyes.

The young lady raised her eyes to look at Lu Zheng. The third young master of the Lu family looks like his mother, coupled with the temperament accumulated by several generations of wealth, the young man's brows and eyes are romantic, but the young lady saw it in her heart at a glance. She was immediately ashamed and happy, and felt like marrying him If you come from a poor family, it's better to be the concubine of such a son.

Lu Zheng didn't know that someone was thinking about him, but he couldn't laugh or cry at his mother's attitude of picking Chinese cabbage. The original owner had a chance to be shaded, but the British Duke stopped him.

Yun Shi also followed his gaze to look at the husband beside him, but patted his hand calmly: "This is not my idea, your elder brother said that you have improved a lot in your studies recently, so go find an official position , so I can say goodbye to you."

Lu Zheng looked embarrassed: "Say... what are you talking about?"

"Why are you and your mother so shy?" Yun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Could it be that you have already fallen in love with a girl from some family?"

Lu Zheng was so confused by his mother's questioning, he hurriedly said: "Mother, enough rest, let's go up the mountain quickly, or it will be late."

Yun looked at her son who opened his eyes and said nonsense with a smile, until he turned his head away in embarrassment, and then she stopped teasing her. Lu Qing quickly helped his wife up with insight: "Madam, be careful on the road."

Yun Shi was angry and funny at the same time, twisted his arm with the hand hidden in his sleeve: "Next time you do these unreliable things, even if you are courteous, it will be useless."

"As long as my wife forgives me this time, there will be no next time."

Lu Zheng was so soured by the dog food given by the middle-aged couple, he was silently pushed back after being stared at by his father, but he staggered forward due to a force, and only heard the delicate voice behind him. With a sound of "Ouch", Lu Zheng turned around subconsciously, and felt a ball of warmth hit his arms.

It was the young lady who bumped into him, Lu Zheng's body froze, neither pushing nor pulling, he didn't know what to do.

The young lady stood firm, and hurriedly withdrew from his arms covering her face. After another blessing, she blushed and dragged the servant girl away.

Lu Zheng looked puzzled, but Yun's face outside the pavilion turned cold when he saw this.

When they arrived at Fengguo Temple, it was almost noon. The abbot of Fengguo Temple, Master Chen, came out to meet them in person, and asked the Zhike monk to take them to the wing room. From the beginning to the end, he did not show any strange expression to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng was a little disappointed and a little relaxed, he had a fast meal with his mother, and Yun's had the habit of taking a lunch break, so he went out for a walk alone.

Fengguo Temple is worthy of being a famous Buddhist temple in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Although Master Chen made him feel a little disappointed, the scenery of Fengguo Temple is still very beautiful. It is now in late autumn, and large patches of red maple cover the entire mountain forest. They are all dyed red, the corner of the eaves is exposed among the dense forests, and the sound of Sanskrit singing is faintly heard in the ear, and the jingle of the stream is unique.

Lu Zheng took a deep breath. When he lowered his head, he inadvertently saw a corner of silk protruding from his bosom. He pulled it out suspiciously, and found that it was an embroidered handkerchief. A clump of orchid grass was embroidered on one corner of the snow-white handkerchief. A petite character - Zhilan.

Lu Zheng froze for a moment, then flipped it left and right, convinced that the handkerchief was not his own, but somehow it got into his arms.

Before Lu Zheng could figure it out, he saw a woman walking out of the maple forest ahead, looking at him shyly.

"It's you?" Lu Zheng remembered, this was the lady who bumped into him on the pavilion halfway up the mountain.

The woman took a step forward and blessed her with a salute: "Zhilan from Fang's family."

Lu Zheng looked at the handkerchief: "Is this handkerchief yours?"

Fang Zhilan scowled shyly: "My lord, why pretend to be stupid, if you didn't know how to come to the back mountain..."

Lu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seemed that this young lady regarded him as an apprentice, he was about to explain, but Fang Zhilan threw herself into his arms.

"Young master, I know that my status is low, but she is also a girl from a good family. Today, I fell in love with you at first sight, so I gave up my daughter's reserve to do such things. I only hope to be with you forever. Being a concubine is also willing."

Lu Zheng looked at the girl in his arms who was looking at him shyly, and felt that one head was bigger than the other.

"Girl, listen to me explain...who!"

Lu Zheng suddenly pushed Fang Zhilan away, looked around vigilantly, but saw the maple leaves trembling slightly, and there was no one in the silence in the forest.

Lu Zheng finally explained it clearly to Fang Zhilan, and sent the crying girl back to the wing room, fortunately it was noon, there were not many people coming and going in the wing room, so no trouble was caused.

After solving this problem, Lu Zheng didn't have the mood to continue enjoying the scenery, and walked towards the room depressed, knowing that he would rather stay in the room than go out.

However, as soon as he entered the room, Lu Zheng felt that something was wrong. Before he could react, a figure was pasted behind him, and the man's hoarse voice was next to his ear: "Don't talk."

Lu Zheng's back went numb: "Jane...Jian Yu?"

Lu Zheng didn't dare to move, but he heard a faint chuckle in his ear.Then, he felt the oppressive feeling behind him disappear, turned his head and found that Jian Yu was already sitting on the chair.

"It's me, long time no see."

The corner of Lu Zheng's mouth twitched a little. Although you unilaterally think that we know each other, you are still a wanted criminal after all, my friend. Are you not afraid that I will inform you?

Jian Yu seemed to be able to understand what he was thinking, and raised his eyes to glance at him, this glance immediately made Lu Zheng honest, "Come and sit down."

Lu Zheng slowly walked over to Jian Yu and sat down, just about to speak, but moved his nose: "Are you injured?" He lowered his head, Jian Yu's left hand was hanging by his side, bright red blood dripped down his fingers. There was already a small puddle of blood on the ground.

Jian Yu followed his gaze to look at his left hand, and said indifferently, "It's just a small injury."

His expression was extremely indifferent, as if he wasn't the one who was injured, Lu Zheng couldn't help but said, "Let's bandage it."

Jian Yu seemed a little surprised, then the corner of her mouth twitched slightly: "You help me?"

Lu Zheng coughed and said with a straight face, "Take off your shirt first."

Jian Yu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he really planned to bandage himself, but he obediently took off his coat.

Because the coat was dark, Lu Zheng didn't know how badly he was injured, until he saw that the left sleeve of the white coat was dyed red, he frowned suddenly.

Before he could stop him, Jian Yu had already taken off his jacket, revealing a fair but strong body, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the lines of his abdominal muscles were clearly visible. With his movements, two mermaid lines were looming. Beauty, and the appearance of half-faded clothes, half-leaning on the edge of the table and letting her move, is really arousing people's daydream.

Lu Zheng's face turned red when he saw it, he quickly turned his face away, and while meditating "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" while turning his head, he found that the body like white jade was covered with large and small scars, especially a scar on the left upper arm. A deep cut to the bone is visible.

Lu Zheng's thoughts disappeared immediately, and he glared at Jian Yu: "Is this still called a small injury?"

Jian Yu looked up at him with an extremely innocent expression.

Lu Zheng endured it, and asked again: "Did you bring any medicine?"

"In the coat."

Lu Zheng touched his coat again, and finally found two porcelain bottles, "Which one?"

"The white one." Jian Yu casually added, "The red one is poison."
