It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

At this time, Luzhu had returned from outside the palace, carrying a bamboo box with some dried fruit preserves in his hand. "Empress, I went to buy some food today. I saw this bamboo box looks good, so I bought one. Take a look."

As the name suggests, this bamboo box is a box made of bamboo. This one is not dark brown like the others, but has a yellow-green color. There are some raised bamboo sections on the surface, but the whole box presents a simple and natural look. a feeling of.

Yang Xianrong reached out and touched it. The bamboo box was hard and very strong. Open it and look inside. It's very smooth and has no burrs. It's not considered top quality, but it's still a relatively good item for ordinary people's homes.

"Did Wang Ruiwu's family buy it?" Yang Xianrong looked at Luzhu, who immediately nodded. After looking around and seeing no one else, he said, "Logically speaking, Wang Ruiwu died last night, and his store will be closed for the day today." . However, the door is still open for business. People who don’t know about it still go to pick and choose to buy things. The shopkeeper is Wang Ruiwu’s eldest brother. He is not young, but he is a paralytic. He just sits at the counter and calculates the accounts. From the looks of it, there is nothing What a particularly sad look. The slave went in and bought a bamboo box, and even picked it carefully. When he listened carefully, there was no crying in the courtyard, it was very peaceful."

"It is said that his wife is frail and his children are young."

"Well, actually I did see her. When Erlang and Qin Wuwei were going there, I took a quick look at her. His wife, Mrs. Liu, looked like her eyes were red and she had cried a lot. But she kept holding the child and didn't speak. Qin Wuwei said that he wanted to perform an autopsy, so her reaction became more intense and she said no." Lu Zhu took out the dried fruit preserves from the bamboo box, and Lan Xiang immediately put them on a small plate, pulled them out again and said: "Girl, slave, you'd better go and wash yourself again."

"Yeah." Yang Xianrong was not interested in eating, and continued to ask Luzhu: "Is there anything abnormal?"

"The smell of medicine is very strong. The slave can't tell what kind of medicine it is, but the backyard is full of the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. I don't know who took it." Luzhu thought for a while, "I think the face of the paralyzed brother is also sallow, so he should also be taking it. He takes medicine, because the slave vaguely saw a medicine bowl in his hand."

"Is there anything else?" Yang Xianrong touched the bamboo box again. It should have been brushed with tung oil, and it looked very bright under the candlelight.

"There are eight masters in Beijun Mansion in total." When Lu Zhu mentioned Beijun Mansion, Yang Xiankang immediately became energetic. Lu Zhu smiled softly, "These masters have really served in the Beijun Mansion for a long time. The Beijun Mansion has changed many commanders in recent years, but these masters have not changed. It is also because they are very familiar with things in the government. I'm familiar with him, and I don't have any ambition or bad intentions. When I work in the Beijun Mansion, my salary will be increased every year. Over time, the salary of Master Wu will almost catch up with Master Mao."

"Well, that's right. Master Wu earns more than me. Occasionally I will borrow money from him." Yang Xiankang nodded immediately.

Yang Xianrong was not happy anymore and stared at him, "Why are you borrowing money? Don't you want me to do it? If my eldest brother is not here, you will spend money randomly, right?"

"That, that, that... I just invited the guards to have a drink, and I didn't go anywhere else." Yang Xiankang stuttered again.

"Where else do you want to go?" Yang Xianrong was obviously in a bad mood, "My father, mother and eldest brother are not in Luoyang, so don't cause trouble. From now on, you must come to my place every day, and you are not allowed to drink blindly."

"I didn't drink blindly... I don't want to go to the palace every day and get angry just looking at Yuan Jianshuo's scornful look..."

"It's not that you can't beat him, just be angry. You have time to practice more!" The two brothers and sisters were arguing, and no one else could get in the way.

Yang Xiankang couldn't say enough about his sister. After a few words, he flattened his lips and muttered: "Don't I have to build a small study room for you? Of course, it won't be able to turn around at a time...Master Wu is rich." " Master Wu has a large family. It seems that the youngest son has just had a child. The dozen or so people in the family are all supported by Master Wu." Lu Zhu was finally able to speak again. "He has three sons. The eldest son and the second son are both scholars, but they have never been able to achieve success in their studies. Now they can only do some basic things in the Beijun Mansion. The third son has not come out to do anything. I heard that he is studying It’s okay, the whole family’s hope is for this third son to get ahead.”

"Hey, Luzhu, I found that you know more than me." Yang Xiankang finally realized.

Luzhu smiled, and so did Yang Xianrong. "Second brother, Lu Zhu is the leader of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger. He must have a way to know what he wants to know."

"Well, I admire it. Do you know which sleeve Mr. Wu hides his money in?" Yang Xiankang was a little deliberate.

"It should not be in the sleeves, but in the arms, close to the jade hook belt." Lu Zhu gestured, "No need to ask about this. I saw Master Wu that day and found that he always likes to touch his jade hooks. Belt, just imagine that a jade hook belt is not a rare item. He often touches this place, so it is very likely that there are items here that he considers very important."

"Sure enough!" Yang Xiankang raised his thumb towards Luzhu, expressing his great appreciation.

"What else is there?" But these information are almost meaningless to Yang Xianrong.

"I heard that his third son often goes to gambling houses recently. It's just that his neighbors occasionally heard his third son and his wife quarreling. They said something, but the quarrel soon stopped."

"You know all this?" Yang Xiangkang's eyes widened.

"When the late emperor was here, the embroidered messengers were the early emperor's eyes and ears, so they were scattered everywhere. Later, the late emperor said that these people should protect the emperor when necessary and appear unexpectedly from everywhere, so that they can make a difference. Lu Zhu looked at Yang Xianrong and said, "After the death of the late emperor, the slaves have been at the disposal of Princess Pingyang, but nothing has happened in these years. Princess Pingyang rarely returns to Luoyang... I still have to thank the Queen for letting the slaves I went out and contacted everyone, otherwise many people would have lost contact.”

Princess Pingyang is pampered and doesn't care about anything. Therefore, the Embroidered Clothes Messenger has been abandoned for nearly ten years. After Yang Xianrong took over, it was natural to rebuild it. She was even thinking that the roster should also be reorganized. That’s why Luzhu often goes out to contact everyone. Of course, ordinary contact is meaningless, there are still things to do. The current plum demon case is the best opportunity to practice your skills.

"Can you find someone to reshape Wang Ruiwu?" Yang Xianrong suddenly asked this.

Luzhu thought for a while and then said: "It's tonight that I get pregnant, so I have to leave the palace as soon as possible."

"Is there anyone?" Yang Xiankang asked more.

"Even if there is no one, we still have to find a chance to get in." Lu Zhu looked quite proud when he smiled.
