The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 140
Steward Lu's lower body was covered with a thin quilt, his upper body was exposed, and his chest was wrapped in cotton cloth. Blood had already stained the originally white cotton cloth red.

What made Meng Fuling most uncomfortable was that Steward Lu's right palm was cut off. Who is so cruel?Butler Lu is just an old man!

Even Qi Xuan's eyes were red, he didn't ask who did it right away, but first asked the doctor about the situation of Steward Lu and whether his life was in danger.

"It's a sword in the chest. Fortunately, it deviates from the heart, but he lost a lot of blood. Steward Lu is old. Whether he can survive it depends on his luck." Doctor Qu said truthfully.

He had met Qi Xuan from afar and recognized Steward Lu. Now, Qi Xuan was standing in front of him, which made him feel extremely stressed.

Meng Fuling's heart sank when she heard this. Although she has not been in the capital city for a long time, she also heard that this doctor surnamed Qu is the most famous doctor in Beijing, and his medical skills are extremely high. Therefore, she dared to name her own medical clinic Divine doctor hall.

"Doctor Qu, how long is the dangerous period? What should I pay attention to during this period?" Meng Fuling asked again, she planned to take care of Steward Lu herself.

When I first met Steward Lu, Steward Lu didn't want to see her very much, but after getting along with her, we became more and more harmonious. Now Steward Lu is her right-hand man, and she also regards him as an elder.

Seeing him hurt like this, she felt extremely sad, and she didn't want him to really lose his life.

Dr. Qu was stunned for a while when he heard the new word 'dangerous period', and then said: "I will have a high fever tonight, if the fever subsides, there is no danger of life, if the fever persists—"

How can you not understand this?If the fever persists, it is natural that life is in danger.

Qi Xuan originally wanted to take Steward Lu back to the General's Mansion, but after hearing what Doctor Qu said, he stopped thinking and asked the guards who came after him to bring the mansion doctor here to take care of Steward Lu until he passed the critical period. , It's not too late to take him back to the house.

"Don't think too much, a housekeeper and auspicious person have their own nature." Qi Xuan hugged Meng Fuling into his arms, and even he felt a little pale and powerless in the comforting words he said.

Fortunately, Doctor Qu specially placed Steward Lu in the backyard, which is a wing room for patients to rest temporarily.

Otherwise, if Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling were seen hugging each other, no matter what the reason was, they would be pointed out.

Meng Fuling nodded, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and asked the boy, "Er Liang, who killed Steward Lu?"

Doctor Qu was very winking, so he hurriedly withdrew with an excuse.

The boy named Er Liang told the whole story. It turned out that the restaurant was being renovated. After lunch, the craftsmen were resting in the temporarily rented yard behind the restaurant.

Steward Lu and the two servants stayed in the restaurant, both of them were downstairs, but Steward Lu went up to the second floor by himself.

Suddenly, the servants heard a shrill scream from the second floor, and hurried up to look. The goal was that Steward Lu was lying in a pool of blood, and his severed palm fell not far away.

"Didn't you see the murderer escape at that time?" Meng Fuling asked again, thinking that the murderer probably jumped out of the window and left, and his martial arts should not be weak.

Er Liang shook his head, he and another servant ran upstairs at the first time, but by then, the murderer had already left.

"You stay here, I'll go to the restaurant." Qi Xuan guessed that Steward Lu must have discovered something, and the other party wanted to silence him.

"I'll go with you!" Meng Fuling said, she also wanted to find out the murderer quickly so as to avenge Steward Lu.

Qi Xuan agreed, and when the two arrived at the restaurant, the craftsmen gathered on the first floor, all with worried faces.

When they heard about Steward Lu's serious injury, they didn't know whether to continue working.

Naturally, Meng Fuling knew their psychology, so she calmed them down and made them think that Steward Lu was fine, so they continued to work with peace of mind.

Instead, Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling went up to the second floor together, which was the private room where Butler Lu had an accident.

The big pool of blood on the ground had dried up, and there were no obvious signs of struggle in the private room.

Qi Xuan asked Dr. Qu carefully, butler Lu's palm was cut off first, and then his chest.

At that time, it should be that the other party stabbed with a sword, but Steward Lu subconsciously blocked it with his hand.

As a result, Steward Lu's palm was chopped off, but the sword did not stop, and still pierced into his chest. Because of being blocked by his hand, the sword deviated from the vital point.

Meng Fuling looked around in the private room, and found some sawdust on the ground in the middle, so she looked up.

Looking at it this way, she really noticed the clue, there was a circle of cut marks on the beam in the middle.If you don't look up, you can't find it, but who would look up to see the beam?

With this discovery, she gave Qi Xuan a push, "Look! The beam looks like it has been chopped down."

Qi Xuan just looked at it and saw something, "The other party cut it with a sword, the sword is sharp, and it can penetrate a few points with just one sword. This person should be a woman, and she used a soft sword infused with inner strength. .”

Men and women can be distinguished by the depth and direction of the marks cut by the sword. After all, there is a big difference in the strength of men and women.

"Wouldn't such a cut make Hengduan collapse?" Meng Fuling vaguely guessed the other party's intentions. When Steward Lu was about to enter the private room, he saw the other party chopping the beam and saw the man's true face. That's why he was murdered. .

Qi Xuan nodded, "It won't be broken for a while, it will only break slowly, and it will collapse within a month."

"Within a month?" Meng Fuling muttered, and calculated in her heart that it might have just opened at that time.

If the beam collapsed and crushed the guests, it would be a small matter for the restaurant to end, and it would have a great impact on her and Qi Xuan. If it spread to Qishan County, the reputation of the restaurants and restaurants there would also be affected.

This trick is really poisonous!Just one move can hurt her muscles and bones.

"Let's go to other private rooms to see." Qi Xuan thought that the other party should not only tamper with this private room, but other private rooms may also be spared.

Sure enough, they checked every private room one by one, and found that from the private room where Steward Lu had an accident, the beams of several private rooms on the left had been chopped off, but there was no sawdust on the ground, so they must have been cleaned by that person up.

The sawdust in that private room must have been caught by housekeeper Lu before it could be cleaned up in time, and the private room on the right hadn't been chopped down yet.

"Of course the housekeeper wakes up, he will know who it is." Qi Xuan said, turning his head, saw Meng Fuling's expression was different.

The anger in Meng Fuling's heart was so violent that it could not be described in words. Why was there someone deliberately trying to harm her wherever she went?
"Fu Ling, do you regret being with me?" Qi Xuan held her hand and smiled wryly.

He thought that all kinds of disasters would happen when Meng Fuling was with him.If it wasn't for him, she could live in Qishan County safely, so how could she set foot in the capital city?It was him who caused her to be pushed into the wind and waves.

"Regret? Why do you regret it?" Meng Fuling sighed, knowing why he would ask such a question.

"If it wasn't for me—" Qi Xuan just opened his mouth, but a warm little hand blocked his lips.

"Hulu, listen to me. As early as I knew that I chose to be with you, I expected this day to come. It is my own choice, so why regret it? Do you think I am the kind of person who is blessed to share with you? , a woman who has difficulties but can't be the same?"

Meng Fuling looked at him steadfastly, with an unshakable firmness in her smile.

"Fu Ling!" Qi Xuan's heart was filled with a warm current, as if it was about to overflow.

At this time, there is no need to say anything, he knows that God let him meet Meng Fuling, which is the greatest blessing in his life.

After Luo Yao returned to her room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt a little anxious.

When she heard the news that Meng Fuling was going to open Tianyuan Restaurant in the capital city, she paid attention and found that during the renovation of the restaurant, there were people keeping watch at night.

On the contrary, there was no one during the noon period of the day, because the craftsmen were resting in the yard behind the restaurant after lunch.

Therefore, she left the house today with only two maids under the pretext of looking at her clothes.

She bought clothes, went to the tea house to drink tea, deliberately poured tea on the skirt, and drove the maid out of the private room under the pretext of changing the dress.

There is an alley behind the teahouse, Luo Yao covered her face and jumped out of the window.Even in broad daylight, she has excellent lightness kung fu, and no one will notice her when she shuttles across the rooftops beside the street.

Luo Yao sneaked into Meng Fuling's restaurant without a hitch, took out the soft sword that was wrapped around her waist and was hidden under the girdle, and went to chop the beam.

Because what covered her face was not a human skin mask, but a real face, and special medicine was used to change the face.If the face is covered with a cloth for too long, the whole face will be itchy.

Therefore, she took off the face towel while cutting the beam.

Unexpectedly, Steward Lu would come in suddenly, and when he saw his face, she had no choice but to kill her to silence her.

At that time, Jianfeng deviated from the vital point, Luo Yao wanted to make up for it again, when she heard someone calling for Steward Lu from downstairs, and heard footsteps, there was more than one person.

Luo Yao didn't want to make more troubles. Too many people saw her face, and she couldn't kill them one by one in an instant, which might attract more people.

She had no choice but to leave in a hurry. Now she was worried that Steward Lu was not dead, or that he would wake up and reveal her.

Although she used Luo Yao's face, Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling were not idle people. They knew that the real Luo Yao was a famous lady who knew no martial arts, so they found out her true identity.

no!She had to silence Steward Lu before he woke up.

But Luoyao knew very well that at this time, Qi Xuan and the others would definitely be on guard, maybe waiting for her to throw herself into the trap.

She had to think of a perfect plan, so she was delayed for several days.

Coincidentally, on this day, she heard the news that Steward Lu had woken up, and finally couldn't bear it anymore...

******
"Hulu, what if the murderer doesn't fall for it?" Meng Fuling worried.

That's right!It was Qi Xuan who deliberately made people let out the rumor that Butler Lu had woken up. In fact, Butler Lu was still unconscious.

Steward Lu did pass through the dangerous period, but he was still in a coma. After seeing many doctors, Qi Xuan even went to the palace to invite the imperial physician, but he couldn't find out the reason.

Now the entire General's Mansion is shrouded in sadness, everyone is very worried about Steward Lu.

Even the little wax gourd became extremely quiet, always obediently guarding Lu Steward's hospital bed.

"If the dog is in a hurry, it will always jump over the wall!" Qi Xuan said firmly.

"If this person is caught, she will definitely repay Steward Lu for the pain she has suffered!" Thinking that Steward Lu has yet to wake up, Meng Fuling was furious.

Meng Fuling expressed what Qi Xuan was thinking, and he nodded, "Don't worry, she will repay you twice."

At night, a black shadow flew into the general's mansion. It was fast and shuttled through the general's mansion, as if there was no one in it.

However, because he didn't know where Butler Lu's room was, when the shadow passed by the courtyards, he paid special attention to the movement around him.

Finally, I found a side courtyard, which looked like a residence for servants, but there was a guard guarding the door of one of the rooms.

Just at this time, a young man came out of the room with a tray, and the guard asked the young man, "Have the butler taken all the medicine?"

The young man showed joy, and replied: "Thank God, the butler finally drank all the medicine, and his energy seems to be much better. Now, I have fallen asleep."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, "Then—"

A good word, before he finished speaking, his eyes widened suddenly, and he fell down straight at the same time as the guard standing on the other side of the door.

"Ah—" The little servant turned pale with shock, just as he screamed out, a silver light hit him from the side, and the next moment, he also fell to the ground.

A black shadow appeared from the darkness, landed on the door, and pushed the door directly to enter.

She had checked just now, and there was no one guarding the room except the boy who had just walked out.

Looking at it now, sure enough, there was no one else except the person lying on the bed.

She sneered, and with a movement of her wrist, a sharp dagger appeared in her hand, and she approached the person on the bed...
