Luo nine needles

Chapter 28

The original noisy street suddenly became quiet, and occasionally a child's cry could be heard, but the next moment, the crying stopped abruptly, obviously because someone had gagged their mouths.

Sitting on the restaurant, Lu Yizhi stretched out his hand to open half of the window, and saw a group of dark people walking slowly on the street.

Although everyone was dressed in black, his gaze still involuntarily fell on the young man in the middle.

This Captain Huo is so young.

"Look, what are those people hanging from their waists?"

"Oh my god, it's the head, and the hair is showing."

"There's still blood, freshly cut—"

There was agitation on the street from time to time, but fear seized the agitation immediately. People who retreated from the street were almost stuck to the wall, lest they be seen by Duchasi.

Fortunately, everyone in Duchasi did not look sideways.

Someone reached out to close the window.

"Don't look at it." Several companions whispered, "It's really vicious."

Du Chasi, Huo Lian, Liang Bazi, of course they are no strangers.

But it was the first time for them to see a real person when they came from other places.

It is said that Huo Lian has just returned from an inspection tour.

It's really like the rumored preference, walking around with the head.

"This Huo Lian is really...inhuman." A companion said.

Lu Yizhi didn't speak, his eyes flickered slightly.

In fact, this is also potential.

Just like that day outside Huixian Building, I heard that the adult had booked a venue.

"It's really unfortunate that there are such people in the imperial court." A companion shook his head and said.

Civilian misfortune.

To be tortured by such an unbearable person.

Hearing this, Lu Yizhi smiled and said, "Fortunate and unfortunate, let's experience it when we become officials."

Now those things are still far away from them. To put it bluntly, they are not qualified for Huo Lian to study.

Having said this, he reached out to close the window.

"We questioned the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Taixue already knew about it." He said, and took out a post, "Mr. Shangshu Dr. Xia Hou invited me to see you later."

Dr. Shangshu, the few people present looked surprised, and then rejoiced.

"Great."

"I can actually see Mr. Xiahou!"

"What should I do? What should I say when I see Mr. Xiahou? I can't read the book well."

Hearing this, Lu Yizhi coughed lightly: "Of course it's about Liu Xiucai's case."

These words brought the others back to their senses, yes, they forgot, the reason why they were able to alarm Taixue and were summoned by the doctor was because they were petitioning for the case of Liu Xiucai.

"Remember, we will only care about Liu Xiucai's case, don't talk about other things." Lu Yizhi said softly.

Otherwise, it would be easy for Dr. Shangshu to dislike it by rambling on and on. If he was dedicated to others, Dr. Shangshu would look at them squarely.

The others also understood and nodded hurriedly.

Lu Yizhi smiled again: "Of course, it is our greatest honor to meet Dr. Shangshu and let Dr. Shangshu know us."

Yes, no matter what the reason is, Dr. Shangshu met them and looked at them squarely. They already had one more chance than others.

The students took a deep breath, unable to hide their excitement.

"Yizhi, it's all thanks to you." An older scholar sighed.

Originally, he looked down upon this beautiful young man, but now he has to admit that he is indeed a young man with extraordinary talent.

A few days ago, it was Lu Yizhi who proposed to ask the Jingzhao Mansion about Liu Xiucai's case. They were indeed hesitant for fear of causing trouble.

But Lu Yizhi insisted on doing so.

And spent a lot of money to meet Fu Yin directly.

Standing in front of the governor, suing the case related to all candidates and scholars, and even related to the responsibility of the officials. This made the Jingzhao government dare not treat it slowly, and also attracted more candidates' attention. For a while, discussions were everywhere in the capital .

Then it attracted the attention of Taixue.

Now that the doctor of Taixue has personally summoned them, they Yucheng candidates have become famous in the capital.

Prestige is very important for scholars, and even more important for becoming an official in the future.

Lu Yizhi said: "This is not something I can do alone, it is our concerted efforts."

Zhu Sheng laughed again, raised their wine glasses, and was about to drink together when a servant of the Lu family hurried in.

"My lord, there is news about Liu Xiucai." The servant gasped, "It was a murder, and the conclusion was just now made by Dali Temple."

Lu Yizhi also spent money, everything in the capital can be bought, even if it is news from the government, as long as you have enough money.

Sure enough, he got the news right away.

Hearing this news, the few people present did not have the slightest joy, but instead looked regretful.

That's the conclusion?
It's too unfortunate, why didn't they wait for them to finish seeing Dr. Shangshu?
"Then what did we say when we met Dr. Shangshu?" They frowned.

Lu Yizhi picked up his teacup and said, "Then let's talk about the warning of this case."

That’s right, Mr. Xiahou’s post has already been posted anyway, and when they go to see him, Mr. Xiahou will always meet, and he will always have something to say. The case of Liu Xiucai is just a stepping stone for them.

Everyone is happy again, and they are also interested.

"Who is the murderer?" They asked the servants of the Lu family.

Lu's servant shook his head: "I don't know yet, I'm still investigating."

But it doesn't matter, knowing that Liu Xiucai committed suicide and was the victim can be regarded as a way to get rid of the stigma. The murderer was nothing more than jealousy of a virtuous person or family hatred, etc. It doesn't matter.

The servant next to him thought of something, and whispered to Lu Yizhi, "Master, something happened at home."

at home?What happened again?Lu Yizhi frowned. He said earlier that Ah Qi had escaped, but now?

"It's a small matter, a small matter, it's still a small matter." The servant said hurriedly, "It's the second lady's family's house that was ransacked."

Lu Yizhi was stunned, Ah Qi ran away, but it was nothing but a disturbance because of love and jealousy, but it was really unexpected that the second aunt's natal home was raided.

what happened?

The servant said in a low voice: "I offended the new magistrate. The master said that the official of the Ning family stretched his hand too long. This time he was caught and chopped off."

Lu Yizhi has also heard a little about the disputes between officials and officials. Either the official resigns in despair, or the official's family is ruined. It is indeed common.

"Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us." The servant said again, "The master told you to tell the young master that he is afraid that people from the Ning family will come to ask the young master for help. The young master should not be unclear."

Lu Yizhi nodded.

"Different." The person next to him called out, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yizhi smiled at them: "Family matters." Without waiting to ask, he said, "Small things."

Indeed, even relatives are other people's business and have nothing to do with the Lu family, it's a trivial matter.

It's just that the family has been going smoothly in the past few years, and no small things have happened. Isn't it a bit intensive recently?

Next time, what will happen?
Third Young Master Lu was slightly lost in thought while holding the teacup.

When the case of Liu Xiucai in the capital caused a new uproar, the case of Ning Li in Xucheng had already been settled.

No matter how entrenched the family is, they are just subordinates. Once the chief culprit is beheaded, the family property is confiscated, and the clansman distributes him, he will be clean and silent.

No one in town talks about it now.

After hearing the steward's report, Lu Kangshi sighed and twirled the Buddha beads. Poor and pitiful, he was relieved that his family was not involved in the end.

"Where's Ah Qi?" She didn't forget this person.

The steward personally visited this time, so he prepared for the lady to ask questions, and quickly answered: "It's still the same, every few days I catch some prey in the mountains and sell them in the city, and I go fishing in the lake these days, so I can support myself with food and drink. self-sufficient."

When Lu Kang heard this, he suddenly said: "I heard Ning say in a daze that she even asked her nephew to beat that maid."

"Mr. Ning's family seems to have disputes with several restaurants, and it has been written in the case file, but it's a common practice. Those restaurants go to the government to sue, alas, everyone pushes the wall down." The steward sighed and said. , "You can't say that Mr. Ning's trouble with the restaurant is because of dealing with Ah Qi?"

That's right, because of dealing with Ah Qi, the family was ruined?No one will believe it, even if they want the Lu family to help Ning, they can't say such crazy things.

Therefore, Lu Ning just cried to the mother-in-law, but she didn't believe it herself, so she didn't come to Da Furen to beg.

But Mrs. Lu also knew, and now she heard what the steward said, and felt that it was a joke.

……

……

After a burst of autumn rain, the weather became cooler and the road became more comfortable.

On the main road outside Xucheng, a child sitting on a scooter was beating the wheel with a branch he had picked up, while looking around.

"Amao, sit down and don't fall down." The whip-raising family member in front of the car urged.

The child lazily responded, and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Cow, bull—going cow—" he called.

Really, it's not that I don't have cows in my house. It's so strange to see a cow. The adults who drive the car don't pay attention to it, and they should only make two noises.

The child's yelling continued, patting the car with his hands: "The cow, the wooden cow, the wooden cow is walking—"

wooden cow?walking?It's really incoherent, the cow pulls the wood, the family members shake their heads, the child talks incoherently, and he whips and urges the horse.

The carriage speeded up, and the shouting of the children was far away.

The family did not look back, nor did they see a wooden cow at the foot of the mountain by the lake.

A few pieces of wood are carried on the wooden ox, and a girl in a coarse cloth dress is leading the ox and walking slowly and steadily.
