Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

Outside the palace wall, the young man was carrying a box of pine nut candies in his arms, and he would eat one from time to time to satisfy his cravings.From a distance, Lu Xiao saw an old man in a brocade suit approaching. The old man had gray hair, but his face was full of energy.

Lu Xiao smashed her mouth and stopped eating.He pinched his cheeks, showed a cute and cute smile, and walked forward.The old man was Taifu Cui from the Imperial Academy. He was over sixty years old, old enough to be Lu Xiao's grandfather. However, his complexion was radiant, and he looked like a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s.

Taifu Cui had said in the early years that he would no longer accept apprentices. Two years ago, on the day of the palace examination, he fell in love with the number one scholar at a glance. His love for talents was at the root of his troubles, so he still accepted him as a closed disciple.

"Master!" Lu Xiao jumped up and down, got Taifu Cui's mark on her forehead, and said aggrievedly, "Mister hit me again!"

Cui Yu didn't really mean to beat him, it's just that the little apprentices are almost twenty, and they still haven't been in shape all day, so they couldn't help but want to rub his head.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiao smirked: "Master is really unreserved, so Xiao'er will just say it straight." As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiao mysteriously asked Cui Yu to take a few more steps with him, and the two got into Cui's carriage. Open your mouth.

There are only his master and apprentice here, but Lu Xiao was silent for a rare moment, and then said: "Master, Xiao'er doesn't make progress, and every time the master calls Xiao'er to study in the Imperial Academy, he always finds reasons to shirk. Now I have doubts, I still have to come to the master to find the answer. But I am afraid that the master...will not tell the students."

Cui Yu couldn't help laughing: "Since you've been accepted as a stubborn bastard, there's no reason not to deny it. Just ask, if Mister knew, why wouldn't he not tell you?"

"...Then, master, do you know that there is no medicine in the world that can make people lose their minds and damage their arteries."

Cui Yu was startled, and his face remained unchanged: "If you have it, you have it. It is recorded in the book that a folk doctor in the previous dynasty unintentionally developed it when he was picking herbs. It is a medicine that is three-point poisonous. It is not so much a medicine as a poison Words are a hundred times stronger."

"Then what happened to the doctor?" Lu Xiao hit the snake with the stick.

"Later, the doctor was kidnapped by others to take away his wife and children, and he specially developed drugs for others." Lu Xiao's heart was shocked, only to hear Cui Yu say again: "Xiao'er, master knows what you want to ask. That is My lord, now that you have the answer, don't bother to get to the bottom of things that don't concern you."

There was a lot of trouble in the court, even if Cui Yu didn't hear what was going on outside the window, he knew something about it.

"Sir, don't worry, Xiao'er understands." Lu Xiao smiled sweetly on her face, and sent Cui Yu back to the mansion with good words. Seeing him, the teacher's wife was very caring and wanted to keep him in the mansion. meal.Lu Xiao was not hypocritical, and the couple laughed continuously during the dinner, but Cui Yu couldn't help but feel worried.Lu Xiao rubbed her chubby belly, and when she said goodbye, she solemnly assured the old man that nothing would happen, which made the master feel relieved.

Cui Yu's mansion is two streets away from Lu's small courtyard, Lu Xiao casually walked on the road, pretending to be digested.

It is not difficult to let someone disappear quietly in the huge city of Chang'an, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that the person who disappeared is the son of a senior member of the imperial court, Minister of Rites.

The common people lived their lives as usual, but Liu Xinyuan's death caused a small disturbance in the court.Lu Xiao didn't know what happened on the day of the interrogation. In private, the officials had different opinions. Naturally, He Shangshu was the number one suspect, and Qi Jiansi was also suspected.

Lu Xiao never believed in the so-called theory of ghosts and gods.But he couldn't figure out why Liu Xinyuan died in prison.

Lu Xiao's curiosity prevailed all the time.

Naturally, Liu Heng wouldn't watch his son lose his life like this, so he reluctantly found an assistant to examine Liu Xinyuan's body. Sure enough, Liu Xinyuan had been taking some kind of drug for about half a year.Presumably, his various presumptuous actions in the past six months must be due to this poison, Liu Heng immediately wiped the necks of several girls who brought tea and water in Liu Xinyuan's room.

After venting his anger, he searched and checked again in the mansion, but he didn't know who said that Liu Xinyuan had a conflict with He Zhijing when he was in the Ministry of Punishment, and finally the suspicion fell on He Wan, whom Liu Xinyuan was marrying.He Wan shouted that she was wronged, but Mrs. Liu lost her precious grandson, so she cast fire on He Wan all day long, scolding her for killing her husband, He Wan knelt in the Liu family ancestral hall for three days and quit , packed up and returned to her mother's house.

Liu Heng couldn't find any evidence, and he decided in his heart that his daughter-in-law had killed his son. When he dreamed back at midnight, every time he thought of Liu Xinyuan lying in the prison with his eyes open, the pillow towel was soaked.Since then, he and the He family have broken off their children and in-laws, and they have also broken off their love in the court for so many years.

Old-sighted.The only feeling Lu Xiao felt after hearing the gossip was these four words.

The cause of Liu Xinyuan's death is undeniable, and the chronic poison must have been caused by someone close to him. Liu Xinyuan's name is outside, let alone the two concubines in the mansion, I'm afraid he spent more time in Huajie and Liuxiang than He Wan's.Since Liu Heng couldn't find the person who poisoned him in the mansion, this person must be hiding in some flower building.

When he couldn't get his hands on people, Lu Xiao immediately thought of sex.Liu Xinyuan's symptoms were manic nonsense, and Wu Zuo found out that his pulse was damaged. Although Liu Xinyuan was a little unscrupulous before, he did not do anything harmful.On the contrary, after being poisoned, his consciousness was out of control, and he made all kinds of irreversible actions, which were clearly intentional.There may be this kind of secret medicine in the Jianghu, but in this way, the possibility of people in the Jianghu seeking revenge can be directly ruled out.

Chang'an is the capital of the country, and the doctors in the pharmacy are all recorded in the records. If they have the talent to prepare drugs that harm people's mind, they will have been discovered long ago.Lu Xiao had a general direction in her mind. Mrs. Cui was well-read, with a photographic memory and profound experience. After several days of deliberation, Lu Xiao decided on her husband.

Very honorable man...

That would make sense.Liu Heng was a person who came out of Ningguo's mansion, and after marrying the He family, he was tied to the ship of Ning's mansion together.All emperors are obsessed with the way of check and balance. If he wants to take the Ministry of Punishment back from Ning Guogong, no one will dare to say no.

The struggle between the court and China has nothing to do with him. The only thing Lu Xiao is grateful for is that those poor women are just a group of victims. Liu Xinyuan went to the underworld to pay for his life, but they have already endured hardships that they shouldn't have endured, and there is no such thing as a big revenge. Get rewarded.The life of ants is like a mustard, if there is a knowledge under the spring at this moment, I don't know how to feel.

Lu Xiao took out pine nut candy from his bosom and put it in his mouth, the overflowing sweetness gradually calmed him down.

The matter was over and passed away, only Liu Heng's actions against He Zhijing in the court reminded everyone in the court from time to time that the pain of losing a son would not disappear, but subtly sneaked into his life, entangled day and night, and could not be relieved.

Lu Xiao thought, there must be others in the court who know the truth of this matter.Maybe Liu Heng will learn about the past from someone's hints in the future, or maybe he will be enlightened one day and suddenly realize it, that has nothing to do with Lu Xiao.Liu Xinyuan is lustful by nature, and it is Liu Heng's self-consolation to completely avoid giving drugs. It is true that Liu Xinyuan killed someone, and it is true that Liu Heng indulged his son.Cause and effect are all reincarnation.

Lu Xiao's life was as usual, she went to court in a daze before dawn, returned home and acted like a baby with Lu Xuehen, and found Ning Huai to hang out with on holidays.

The weather was getting colder, and the wind blew up the dead leaves on the palace wall. Lu Xiao wrapped herself in a light fur and walked towards the palace gate.A thin voice called Master Lu to stop, Lu Xiao turned her head in a daze, and saw a slightly familiar eunuch.Lu Xiao couldn't remember his name for a while, and said vaguely: "Is it Lu who is called by your father-in-law?"

The eunuch was clever, and said with a smile, "The slave is Xiao Huizi under Director Cao, and the master asked the slave to give Master Lu a word."

"It turned out to be Eunuch Hui. I don't know if Mr. Cao has anything to look for Lu."

Xiao Huizi didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "Master's adoptive son is busy building a house for Master at the moment, and I can't figure out some key points. I invite Master Lu to talk about it later today at the Yuejiang Tower."

Cao Fuzhong was an old man beside Emperor Yunkang, and he was a few years older than Emperor Yunkang.The eunuch couldn't carry on the family line, so he found one or two orphaned children in Kyoto to adopt as adopted sons, and they were given the surname before entering the palace.

The responsibilities of the household department are divided in detail, household registration, salt transportation, water transportation, taxation, ministers' salaries, common people's property, and fields.Lu Xiao is a fourth-rank Beijing official, and he is in charge of the fields in Chang'an City.Cao Fuzhong's adoptive son had some incomprehensible clues. It was nothing more than a family's real estate that he liked and wanted Lu Xiao to turn a blind eye to it.

Lu Xiao was silent for a long while, then said softly, Lu Mou understands that she will be on time for the appointment later.

Carved beams and painted buildings, shining lights.The dark red official uniform on Lu Xiao's body was still on, and the young man standing in front of the door saw that the visitor seemed to be a moderate Beijing official, so he immediately asked courteously, "Does this young man have an appointment?"

"Fuxianju? You can lead the way." Lu Xiao nodded, thinking that this man surnamed Cao was really rich and powerful, and it was hard to get a seat in the Yuejiang Tower, but he was lucky, and the two of them took up his inner room.

"So it's Master Cao's distinguished guest! Please, my lord!"

The aroma of the wine was strong, and Lu Xiaoren heard the woman's coquettish laughter even ten steps away.The boy opened the door for him, and a muscular man in his early thirties held a beautiful girl with willow eyebrows and almond eyes in his arms. When he saw Lu Xiao coming in, a smile appeared on his face: "This is Mrs. Lu!" Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, he really is a young hero! How old is Mr. Cao, Mr. Lu, if Mr. Lu doesn’t mind, you can call me Brother Cao.”

Lu Xiaopi smiled and said: "Brother Cao is ridiculous."

This person's name is Cao Qingyun, and Cao Fuzhong has only this adopted son under his knees. The word Qingyun can give a glimpse of Cao Fuzhong's hopes for this cheap son.

Seeing that he was silent, Cao Qingyun pushed the woman in pink yarn on the left towards Lu Xiao.The woman smiled coquettishly and offered a leather cup to Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao accidentally knocked over the wine bottle, and the sake spilled on the gauze skirt, causing a lot of screams.Cao Qingyun saw that he was pure-hearted and ascetic, stared at Lu Xiao for a while, and said: "Shuang'er, go and find a more beautiful lady."

Lu Xiao nearly sprayed him in the face with a sip of wine, and hurriedly dragged Lu Xuehen out to make an excuse: "Brother Cao, there's no need, Lu Xiao's elder brother is very strict in discipline, so let's forget about it."

"It's because of my brother's negligence, I didn't know my virtuous brother behaved so well." Cao Qingyun laughed loudly, but he stopped teasing Lu Xiao.After drinking for three rounds, it came to the main topic: "I heard that brother Lu Xian has been in the court for two years, and now he has become a doctor. The household department is a good job. I have something that I don't understand. Can I ask brother Lu Xian to explain it for you?"

"Brother Cao said so."

"My brother lived alone when he was young, and his adoptive father lived in the palace for a long time. Since he married a wife and had children a few years ago, the house on Shanglin Street is a bit small. The foster father is old, and I want to share more with him. Tian Lun, I'm afraid this house needs to be changed. I found a field in the south of the city for my brother, it's quiet and comfortable, and it would be the best place to house, what do Lu Xian brothers think?"

Lu Xiao's face was flushed, her eyes were clear, and she said lightly, "Brother Cao is really filial."

Seeing that he didn't take over, Cao Qingyun poured a glass of wine by himself: "I don't know, the field is quite barren, and it happened to be occupied by a peasant family. I have promised that family money, enough for their family Moved to another place, but that stupid farmer would rather die than follow, delaying the foster father to build a house, I feel very uncomfortable for my brother!"

I don't know when the wine bottle bottomed out, and the accompanying Hua Niang disappeared.Lu Xiao said softly: "According to what Brother Cao said, this place seems to have an owner, and the family is unwilling, so... forget it."

Cao Qingyun was neither anxious nor anxious: "I heard that there is only one frail elder brother in my virtuous brother's family. The two brothers have a very good relationship. Why can't they treat others like themselves? Lord Lu, please don't hurt the father-son friendship between foster father and Cao."

Is this the set of courtesy first and soldiers later?Lu Xiao smiled wryly, and drank the wine in the glass: "Brother Cao, wait for a while, Lu will choose a day to meet that family."

The man on the opposite side laughed heartily, and immediately ordered the servant to bring wine, and continued to call Lu Xiao brothers and sisters.
