Nongmen Shenjue

Without delay, the two went to Du's house immediately.

Without going through the door, Wen Jixue took Mu Qingyan over the wall and went directly to Lu Yuniang's yard.It was still early, people had not yet fallen asleep, the lights in the house were bright, and there were small voices.Looking in through the half-open door, Lu Yunniang was sitting in a chair with two children beside her. After talking for a while, the maid took the children away.

Lu Yunniang asked the time, and then ordered: "Go to the front and ask, whether the third master will come back tonight."

The third master Du has been restless these past few days, and Lu Yunniang knows why, and also knows that the people sent out have gone to Anzhou.She didn't show it on the surface, but she was actually more nervous than Du Sanye, and it was precisely because of this that she acquiesced to Du Sanye's decision.It's just that she was getting more and more nervous, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue were waiting outside. When the maids left and the lights in the room were turned off, the two sneaked in quietly.

Lu Yunniang, who was a little sleepy just now, suddenly felt a chill in her neck, and opened her eyes with palpitations, just in time to see two figures standing in front of the bed, and not only did she not dare to shout, she even dared not move.The thing tightly attached to her neck was a dagger, and the cold light shone in the night.

"Lu Yunniang, do you still remember Cai Mingchang?"

Lu Yunniang's eyes widened, and she couldn't help shivering. The sharp dagger immediately drew a wound on her neck, and blood flowed out.But she didn't care about the pain, she pursed her lips and said, "You..."

"You can answer whatever I ask, as long as you answer honestly, I'm not interested in your life."

"... Excuse me." Lu Yuniang traveled all over the world, met all kinds of people, and had a lot of experience.What's more, she had imagined this day countless times. After the panic at the beginning, she heard that the other party just wanted to find out the news.She can only put on a cooperative posture, trying not to anger the other party.

"Tell me about 'Cai Mingchang'. How did you meet him in the first place, and why did you leave the capital?"

Lu Yunniang took a deep breath, and then slowly recalled the past: "I used to be like Zhu'er, cheating everywhere. At first, I followed my parents. After my parents died, I found a man to marry. Unfortunately, that man My life is short, I became a widow, and there are people hanging around the door all day, I can't live a stable life, and I have no money, so I can only go back to my old business. I'm not as ostentatious as Pearl and others, and the money can be less, the important thing is Safe. Usually I find businessmen from other places, pretending to be helpless and being raised in a foreign house. It is impossible for those people to take me home, but they themselves want to go home. Every year at the end of the year, they return home. To compensate, You must leave me a sum of money, and I will take advantage of the situation to dispose of the house and then disappear.

Eleven years ago, I moved to Songling Mansion and rented a small courtyard to live in. The neighbor next door was named Cai, and Cai Mingchang was the son of the Cai family.At the beginning, I didn't pay much attention to this person. Cai's family is from an oil workshop, with a two-entry house. They are considered a little rich in the surrounding area, but they are ordinary after all.Cai Mingchang is interested in me, I have already seen it, but he is not my target, until one night he knocked on the door and gave me a rose pearl hairpin, the pearl in the heart of the flower is very extraordinary, not something ordinary people can buy started.

Cai Mingchang said that it was sent by his elder brother, and there was also a large sum of money, which was supposed to be given to his wife, but he didn't give it to me.He also said that his elder brother was working for the nobles in the capital, which is not what it used to be, and he wanted to take him there to enjoy the blessings.He doesn't plan to take his wife and children, but wants to take me with him.I was just looking for money, since he is rich and interested in me, I naturally agreed to him, and I will go to the capital with him in the next year.

However, there are many powerful people in the capital. Before agreeing to him, I specifically asked about his elder brother's situation.If there is power and power, I don't want to take risks.

Cai Mingchang couldn't explain this clearly, perhaps he was a little secretive.He told me not to ask more questions.But because of this, I know he is his elder brother, but his family was poor when he was a child, his father and mother remarried, and his mother remarried into Cai's family and gave birth to him.Logically, he should be the son of the Cai family, but from his voice, it seems that his elder brother should also be named Cai.I thought, it was nothing more than his mother had been in contact with the man from the Cai family earlier. "

"What's his brother's name?"

"I don't know. I asked, but Cai Mingchang didn't say, not even which nobleman his brother worked for. Cai Mingchang said that it was his brother's account. If he said it, it would be of no benefit to me. At that time I also felt that it was not good to know too much, so I didn’t ask any more. Cai Mingchang was very generous to me because his elder brother was very generous to him. He opened several shops in the capital, all of which were given by his elder brother, and he was only asked to learn from them. continue to operate.

Originally, I didn't leave the capital so quickly, but... I was always uneasy, that mysterious brother was too weird, and even, he sent a very dignified old lady to warn me.He didn't know that I was a liar, he only found out that I was indeed married and became a widow, but how could a good woman leave her home?He warned me to be safe, otherwise, I will disappear.I dare not mention these words to Cai Mingchang, and it is useless to mention them. Cai Mingchang dare not refute that person's words at all.Later, Cai Mingchang followed his elder brother's order and brought his youngest son.His youngest son was only six or seven years old, and he was picked up by that person directly, and he didn't live with Cai Mingchang at all. I think... that person seems to want to adopt him.Although he didn't mention it, Cai Mingchang could see it.I asked Cai Mingchang, and Cai Mingchang said that his elder brother had no children. "

Lu Yunniang paused, and continued: "One night, Cai Mingchang came back from the outside. For some reason, he was very happy and asked me to accompany him to have a drink. He gave me a box with a pair of red agate cups inside. When he went to see his elder brother, he accidentally saw him playing with the agate cup. After boasting a few words, his elder brother gave it to him directly. He also said that the pair of agate cups were worth at least five thousand silver. He would bring them with him before. When the good things came back, they were all given by his brother, and I didn't care, but he said drunkenly, the pair of agate cups, they, they were originally from the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Who didn't know about the big case of the Xue family back then.It's normal for the Duke's mansion to have such good things, but it's obviously not an ordinary person for his elder brother to get the agate cup.Seeing that Cai Mingchang was drunk, I couldn't hold back and asked a few questions..."

Lu Yunniang stopped, as if she didn't have the courage to continue.

"Continue!" Wen Jixue said suddenly, her voice was as cold as a knife.

It was Mu Qingyan who had been asking the question before, after all, he was the most familiar with this matter, but at this moment, Wen Jixue couldn't bear it anymore.He could keep calm on the face, but his heart couldn't stop churning.He knew very well that the fog he had been chasing was about to disperse!

"I was just curious and wanted to know who that person was. Cai Mingchang was unprepared when he was drunk, so he said by the way that his elder brother was an aide of the Xianjun King. He also said that there are many good things from his brother, not only the agate cup, but also a lot of good things from the Duke Protector's Mansion. He also said that if the king of Xian County will become a great treasure in the future, his brother will be a minister of great service... …At that time, I was terrified, and regretted the cliche. I thought of the man’s strict control over Cai Mingchang, and those warnings, and felt that it was too dangerous to stay any longer. Therefore, I took advantage of Cai Mingchang’s going out and found an excuse to run away gone."

In fact, there is no secret in what Lu Yunniang heard, but sometimes it is not the secret that kills, but the curiosity.If that person knew that she was listening to the news...

Lu Yunniang had an intuition that if she was found out, she would die.

So she ran away in a panic, even abandoned her old career, and found Mr. Du to settle down.

Fujiang Mansion is on the coast, far away from the capital, which makes her feel at ease.

Wen Jixue knocked Lu Yuniang unconscious with a sword strike, and left Du's house with Mu Qingyan.

Back in the inn room, Mu Qingyan lit the candles.

Wen Jixue seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time, Mu Qingyan broke the silence: "Are you going to the capital?"

"I'm definitely going to the capital, but...let someone check it first." Now that he has a definite goal, it's easy to check that mysterious brother.What was difficult for Lu Yuniang was not difficult for Wen Jixue.In fact, as long as you spend a little time inquiring, you can know how many staff members there are in the Prince Xian County's mansion, as well as the general situation.

Mu Qingyan also knew a little about King Xianjun.

Today's fifth son, born of Concubine Hui, has a strong mother.Although he was not a direct descendant, but because of the old emperor's longevity, the prince in front of him either died of illness when he was young, or died of old age. Among the princes who are still alive today, the prince of Yixian County is the oldest.In addition, the prince of Xian County has a lot of heirs, his son is stable, and his eldest grandson is healthy, these are all bonus points.

The establishment of a crown prince has always paid attention to the establishment of a heir, an elder, and a virtuous. The king of a virtuous county is not only a descendant, but also an elder, and has a virtuous name, and he is very powerful in competing for the throne.

They had analyzed earlier that there were many participants in the matter of the Xue family.Those princes also want to get a share of the benefits, and maybe someone is the mastermind. This Xianjun king opened the mansion early, so the suspicion is very high.

Lu Yunniang didn't wake up until the early morning of the next day. After a brief daze, she felt cold all over her body.

"Come on!" She couldn't stay for a moment, just like ten years ago, she felt a strong crisis again, forcing her to run away quickly.

"Madam?" The servant girl heard the sound and thought she was going to get up to wash up.

Lu Yunniang turned pale, and asked anxiously: "Where is the third master? Has the third master come back?"

"No……"

"Go find it! Go to the ferry and look for the third master, and you will tell something big!" Now Lu Yunniang is not alone, she has a son and a daughter, even if she wants to escape, she has to bring her children with her.In addition, she has to persuade Mr. Du...

Unexpectedly, the servant girl went away for a while, and stumbled back: "It's not good, ma'am, the young master sent someone to say that the third master was arrested by the government, saying that he instigated murder."

Lu Yunniang's mind buzzed, knowing that something about Anzhou must have happened.

In this way, Luzhu will definitely confess her, and she cannot escape.

Chen Shiliu was eating breakfast at the ferry, when he saw a team of police officers rushing into the tea stall where Liu Shui was, and locked up Mr. Du who was still asleep.For a while, many spectators gathered around, talking about it.

After finishing his meal in two bites, Chen Shiliu ran back to the inn to find Mu Qingyan.

Last night, he only knew that he was back, but he didn't know what to do next.
