ancient criminal minds

"Snapped!"

Lu Zheng slapped the pen on the table and got up angrily: "No more practice!"

Ah Fu coughed: "Master, would you like some tea or some snacks?"

Lu Zheng crossed his arms, walked around the study room irritably, finally sat down with a depressed face, and asked Ah Fu: "How many more do I have to write?"

Ah Fu counted and whispered: "This is less than thirty..."

Lu Zheng slammed his head on the table dejectedly, before he could lift it up, he heard a sticky voice saying, "Third Uncle, what are you doing?"

Lu Zheng raised his head and looked at Lu Zhiyuan in front of the table. Lu Zhiyuan showed a sweet smile.

Lu Zheng quickly jumped up, took the snacks in her hand in a hurry, and then led her to sit aside, and then asked, "Why did you come here alone? Where's the sister-in-law? Where's the maid?"

Lu Zhiyuan replied obediently: "Mother has to settle the accounts today, the nanny and sister Yuli are waiting for me outside, and maidservants are never allowed to come to Daddy's study."

"Our Bao'er is really amazing, we have walked so far with a snack!"

Lu Zhiyuan said embarrassedly: "It's...not very far."

When Lu Zheng saw the cute loli, his heart almost melted. He quickly took out a pair of grasshoppers from his sleeve and handed them to Lu Zhiyuan. He often plays with Lu Zhiyuan recently, so he has some gadgets with him, to be honest. In the entire Duke's Mansion, he can only relax a little when he is playing with the little Lolita.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and thanked authentically.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and asked, "If I have something to go to your mother, is it convenient now?"

Lu Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "Mother should be resting for a while, Third Uncle will go back with me."

Lu Zheng immediately took her hand and walked towards the backyard, and looked back at Chang Shan Chang Shui following him like a demonstration.

The two guards looked at each other helplessly. It was impossible for them to enter and leave the backyard, and they could only watch the little master flaunt his might and leave their sight.

Mrs. Pei finished reading the account book and was about to rest for a while, when she heard the servant girl say that Lu Zheng is here, she smiled at the mother next to her, "This kid has always gone to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so I don't know what he is begging me for today?"

Lu Zheng led Lu Zhiyuan in and walked in, Lu Zhiyuan smiled and called "Mother" and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Pei hugged her daughter for a while before letting her go down, and then said to Lu Zheng: "Why did the third brother come here today, tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Zheng said embarrassedly: "It is true that I want to trouble my sister-in-law with something."

"It's not easy for you to come to me instead of your mother-in-law." Pei said narrowly, "Let's talk first, and I'll decide whether to help you or not."

Lu Zheng then told Pei Shi that his eldest brother did not allow him to go out and let two guards watch him.He didn't say the reason why he didn't look for his mother, and Mrs. Pei could guess it. Mrs. Yun's temperament was unambiguous. Since Lu Zheng was handed over to Lu Che to take care of him, no matter how much he spoiled him, he would never refute Lu Che.In the end, on the contrary, she still has one or two chances here.

Pei sighed. Lu Zheng had this extraordinary intuition since he was a child. However, no matter his parents or elder brother, they only saw his domineering appearance. On the contrary, she, an outsider, has always seen him very clearly. With this kind of ability, she even suspected more than once that Lu Zheng's stupidity was just pretending, how could such a transparent person put himself in such an unbearable situation.

Lu Zheng was still pretending to be wronged: "...the concierge is now obeying the orders of the eldest brother, and I can't go out as fast as I want."

Pei came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head: "I'm sorry third brother, I can't help you with this busyness."

Lu Zheng's eyes widened in shock, as if he couldn't believe that his sister-in-law was so cruel.

Mrs. Pei was still as gentle and kind as usual: "Your elder brother cares about you. Once the criminal is arrested and brought to justice, you will be able to go out naturally. Just bear with it for a few days."

Leaving Feihong Courtyard, Lu Zheng put away the depression on his face, and sighed softly. He came to beg Mrs. Pei just to get rid of Changshan Changshui, and maybe he had a good vision of Mrs. Pei letting him go out. Now Although his hopes were dashed, he was not overly depressed.

Lu Zheng patted the hem of his clothes, then walked into the side courtyard with his head upright. Several coachmen were sitting together having tea and chatting. When they saw him coming, their expressions changed and they stood up quickly.

Lu Zheng didn't realize it, and said arrogantly: "Which village head are you from?"

A few people tremblingly reported Zhuangzi's location, they didn't recognize Lu Zheng, but they also saw that the man in front of him was not easy to mess with because of his rich clothes.

Lu Zheng looked at them with satisfaction, took out a jade pendant from his waist and held it in his hand: "I have something to buy, which one of you will go."

Several coachmen looked at each other, but no one dared to respond.

Lu Zheng's face gradually became ugly. He poured out a lot of gold and silver ladles from his purse, and stared at the few people in front of him: "Whoever buys them, the money will belong to him."

There were greedy eyes in the eyes of several drivers, and Lu Zheng added another fire: "My young master let you buy it because I think highly of you, don't be shameless and offend me, believe it or not, I will let my sister-in-law buy it. Immediately drive you out of Zhuangzi!"

The complexions of several people changed immediately. Who else could call herself Pei's sister-in-law in the British government, besides the third young master of the Lu family?The name of this young master is well known even in Zhuangzi, and those who are interested want to establish a good relationship with this favored young master, so they immediately greet him and recommend themselves.Lu Zheng pointed to the young man who stood silently in the corner.

"It's just you."

The young man raised his head with a bewildered expression.

Lu Zheng kicked the gold and silver locks in front of him with his toes: "Take it, go and come back quickly."

As soon as the young man moved, he was stopped by a figure, and the coachman greeted Lu Zheng flatteringly: "Third Young Master, if you have something to tell the younger one, the same is true. The younger one should drive fast, so that you won't have to wait here for a long time."

Lu Zheng showed an interested smile: "You?"

Seeing that there was a show, several coachmen crowded in front of him, but they finally remembered the difference between superiority and inferiority, and they were not dazzled by gold and silver.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Alright, you remember, I want to buy the Eight Treasure Duck from Weiyuanju, the Shrimp and Crystal Bun from Dexianlou, the crispy sparrow tongue from Baiweilou..." He read a dozen or so in one go The names of the dishes were distributed throughout Yanjing City, which stunned all the coachmen when they heard them.

Lu Zheng touched the jade pendant, showing a spoiled and indulgent expression: "You guys go together, if the food is still hot when you come back, I will naturally reward you."

As soon as the words fell, the coachmen immediately got mixed up, not to mention the rewards, but the status of the third young master of the other party's Lu family made them dare not disobey. The head can't manage things well.

In the chaos, no one noticed that Lu Zheng took away this young man who was standing silently in the corner.

The chaos in the side courtyard will naturally be reported to Mrs. Pei. After hearing what Lu Zheng did, Mrs. Pei was a little bit dumbfounded, and the mother on the side was worried: "Is the third young master venting his dissatisfaction with you?" Express a little bit of resentment against Lu Zheng.

Mrs. Pei shook her head: "He has always been such a character, straight to the point, he is unhappy in his heart, it's better to say it than to keep it in his heart."

"But, after all, I slapped you in the face..."

Mrs. Pei didn't speak, she was a little surprised by Lu Zheng's actions, she saw this child growing up, his domineering has always been towards outsiders, Mrs Pei never believed that he would do such a thing, she vaguely Yue seemed to have guessed a little bit of Lu Zheng's approach, which made her hesitate for a moment.

Mammy was still chattering about Lu Zheng, but she didn't see that the hostess' face had already darkened, and the big maid on the side quickly grabbed Mammy.

Mrs. Pei caressed the bracelet on her hand, and commanded in a gentle voice: "Since the third young master wants to eat, let them do it quickly, and all the food expenses should be charged to my private account. If you reward them, let them take care of it.”

The eldest maid replied, and Mammy wanted to say something, but Mrs. Pei already looked away and began to deal with trivial matters.

With the approval of the young mistress, several carriages drove out of the Duke's mansion one after another. The guards glanced roughly and saw that there was nothing inside the carriage, so they let them go out. Naturally, they did not pay attention to a small coachman.

After about a quarter of an hour, Chang Shan Chang Shui ran over anxiously, asked where the carriage was going, and hurriedly chased after it.

After walking a few hundred meters along the street, they saw a carriage parked at the entrance of an alley. Their little master was squatting aside watching people pouring sugar paintings with interest. When he saw them coming, he stood up Patting the dust off his hem, he stretched out his hand to the two of them as a matter of course: "Pay for me quickly."

The two looked at each other, Chang Shan reluctantly took out his purse to pay, Lu Zheng had already jumped into the carriage with the sugar painting, pointed to the road outside the city: "Let's go."

"Third Young Master, Eldest Young Master said that you are not allowed to go out." Chang Shui advised in vain.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Anyway, I've already run out, you either knock me out and take me back, or follow me obediently, don't talk nonsense."

Chang Shui still wanted to say something, but his elder brother Chang Shan pulled his sleeves. Chang Shan's kung fu is not as good as his younger brother, but he is much more mature in dealing with people. Although Lu Zheng's tone is soft, he can't hide his tough attitude. He is not only asking at this moment, He is also asking them about their future choices. What he wants is a guard who is loyal to him, not the British government.

Chang Shan could see it clearly, and was also secretly surprised in his heart. He was the guard who was sent after Lu Zheng was injured. He didn't know what kind of temperament the original owner was. It was just that the rumors were not credible. It's dull.

Lu Zheng saw that the two guards were subdued, and he was relieved. On the one hand, he ran out to be angry with his elder brother, but more importantly, he was interested in the case. Although he didn't want to be like a schoolboy who died like a god of death. , but the appearance of such a case in front of him aroused his curiosity, how could he not scratch his heart and lungs, as for Jian Yu, he had already been thrown away by him.
