Chapter 23: Misfortune and blessing
Mao Wei was very disappointed. Although he knew that the murderer was, he was a murderer who had never been to praise his old purpose, just like he didn't know who it was. He had no choice but to order Xianyang to guard against such a thing in case such a thing happened again. Li Zuoche left. Yu Ziqi was embarrassed to retreat. Gong Wei sat alone in the palace, looking at the wood carving, frowning.
"The king Bo Ji walked over slowly with a silk jacket, looking at Gongwei with a frown with thick eyebrows: "What trouble did you encounter?" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the small wooden carving on the table, and suddenly she lost her appearance. She hugged Gongwei and screamed: "Attention 1"
With this shout, the originally quiet palace suddenly became lively. Dozens of neatly dressed in and holding long spears rushed in and surrounded the Gongwei in the middle. Then Yu Ziqi, who had been walking in the net for a while, also strode in, holding the steel sword at his waist tightly, walked to Gongwei with murderous intent, and clasped his fists: "I am late to save the Lord, please forgive me."
The Gongwei looked at the Zhonglang who was facing a great enemy, and then looked at Bo Ji who was so nervous that hens were blocking him like a hen that only protected her chicks. He was suddenly moved. Bo Ji looked very delicate, but he didn't expect to be so decisive at the critical moment.
"It's okay!" Gongwei waved his hand and asked Yu Ziqi to go out for inspection. Yu Ziqi turned around and was about to leave, but Bo Ji pointed to the small wooden carving on the table and said in a trembling voice: "Don't leave, they are here."
"You mean," Gongwei saw that Bo Ji's eyes were wrong. He picked up the wood carving and glanced at Bo Ji in confusion: "Do you know this?"
"Yes." Bo Ji nodded in panic and nodded.
"That's great." Gongwei was overjoyed and quickly asked the gang members to withdraw. Bo Ji sat down and explained in detail. Bo Ji took two sips of hot tea and calmed down. Then he told Gongwei and Yu Ziqi about the matter.
"This is not a person, but a couple, Bo Ji, startled Yu Ziqi: "My husband is called Zhen Si, originally a mansion from Prince Wei Gao. He is a slave who works as a carpenter. His wife is Shi Xianglan. He was born to a female slave of Kunlun after drinking. After being born, he worked as a slave in Prince Gao's mansion. Because he is not like the people of Zhongyuan, he is often bullied by other people, and only that. The carpenter felt sorry for her. Later, Prince Gao didn't know what crazy he was, and he actually wanted to rape her. She would rather die than obey. She was blinded by one eye, cut off one arm, and was dying."
"There is such a beast? He frowned like a shared one.
"What happened later? Yu Ziqi looked at Bo Ji in a flash.
"Later one night, Gongzi Gao was killed and stabbed eleven times, and the carpenter and female slave disappeared." Bo Ji pointed to the wood carving: "There is this thing next to Gongzi Gao's body. I heard that this is called fig, which is the product of the Kunlun female slave's hometown. Later, "I heard that there was a killer who would leave behind every time he killed someone, and the carpenter's mysterious sword was used, so I guess it was them."
Yu Ziqi suddenly realized, and he thought for a while and asked again: "Is that female slave blind and broke an arm?"
"Yes." Bo Ji nodded. After thinking for a while, she said again: "She has the most obvious feature, her head is golden."
Gongwei and Yu Ziqi looked at each other and were overjoyed. With such obvious characteristics, these two assassins could not escape.
"Please rest with peace of mind. I will send someone to arrest them." Yu Ziqi left with confidence. Gongwei nodded. He knew Yu Ziqi's strength and the assistance of the assassin led by Dunwu, even if the two killers were really Li Xunhuan and Sun Hong. Gongwei let go of one's worries and hugged Bo Ji who was still shaking and said with a smile: "Thank you, Madam, for your advice. Let's go back to the palace now. I'll thank you Madam first."
Bo Ji's face was flushed and she was embarrassed.
At noon the next day, Yu Ziqi and Dunwu escorted a carriage into Xianyang Palace. Gongwei and Bo Ji rushed over. As soon as they saw the couple, Bo Ji nodded to Gongwei. The golden woman looked at Bo Ji for a while, then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It turns out it's you, no wonder we can see us so soon."
Gongwei looked carefully at the dull carpenter Zhen Si, and then looked at the face of the Jin woman Shi Xianglan. Gongwei was not very interested in Jin, who aroused the curiosity of many doctors. He had come into contact with many ghosts in his previous life, and Jin Buxiqi. What he was curious about was what role Shi Xianglan played in the assassination? The daughter of Kunlun female slaves must have some tricks.
"I use poison." Shi Xianglan seemed to see the question of Gongwei, and before he could ask, she took the initiative to say: "My grandmother is a druid, and using poison is a family skill.
After she said this, Yu Ziqi's face suddenly changed. He actually brought an expert who used poison to Gongwei. He was too careless. He drew his sword and Shi Xianglan fattened him and smiled: "Don't worry, we have rules. If I don't kill an innocent person, how can you catch us if I want to use poison?"
"You are still very principled. You would rather be caught than use poison to harm innocent people? The Gongwei left the throne.
"Yes." Shi Xianglan didn't think that Gongwei was mocking her at all, but nodded calmly. A golden head was as attractive as a wave, and Shi Xiangmao stretched out her fingers. After tweeting gold, she could tell that she was very satisfied with her gold head.
"You have killed so many people since your debut, but not an innocent person?" Yu Ziqi sneered.
"No one." Zhen Si, a carpenter who had been silent, suddenly spoke five words.
Right now
Compare.,
Gongwei frowned and felt an ominous feeling in his heart: "So, you will definitely not tell your employer?"
"nature
"Take them to the Tingwei Prison." Gongwei sneered and waved his hand. Yu Ziqi did not dare to be negligent and immediately took them on a carriage and sent them to the Tingwei Prison. The Qin Dynasty official system, each government has a prison, which is under the jurisdiction of all departments. After Gongwei entered Guanzhong, all prisons in all departments were concentrated and managed by the Tingwei Mansion. Other governments no longer set up prisons. This was also a measure to cooperate with the promotion of Tingwei as a superior. When it was implemented, there were many obstacles, but Gongwei insisted on this. The new official system was also settled.
Tingwei Lu Ze and Tingwei Zheng Wu Ju received the case and did not dare to neglect it. After interrogation overnight, Yu Ziqi and Dunwu were assisting, but unfortunately they were busy all night and had no result: the pair was covered in wounds and were dying, but they did not reveal a word.
Lu Ze and Wu Ju sat opposite each other. Lu Ze frowned and stretched out his thumbs and rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't say a word. Wu Ju looked at it for a moment, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Sir, I have a suggestion."
Lu Ze glanced at him, blinked his sore eyelids, was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You said."
"This woman is extremely rare. Since they can enter Li Liang's mansion with ease and find out when Li Liang returned to her house to rest, they must have stayed in Xianyang City for a long time. Someone must have seen them. If we know where they have been, then
Changze stared at Wu Ju, hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Since that's the case, let's leave it to you."
Wu Ju bowed and said, "Now." After saying that, he got up and went out. Lu Ze looked at his back. After a long time, he sighed, got up and left the Tingwei Mansion, got on the carriage, but did not go home, but went straight to Lu Zhi's mansion. Lu Wei's mansion was not far from Tingwei Mansion, and arrived in a short while. Lu Ze got out of the carriage and walked into the mansion with heavy steps. The person guarding the door saw that it was the master's brother, so he did not dare to neglect him, so he quickly welcomed him in.
Lu Ze entered the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Ya and Chang Yi sitting next to the cradle, shaking the cradle while talking about gossip. When he saw Daoze, both of them stood up and looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother, please ask Chang Chu to greet him quickly. Lu Yi didn't need to give any instructions, so he went to get tea with familiarity and prepared tea with great effort. Recently, tea ceremony was popular among noble ladies in Xianyang City, and Lu Wei and Lu Yi were both masters.
Changze watched his two sisters busy, but he couldn't feel relaxed at all. His brows were frowning like a ball. Lu Chu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Brother. But for the case of Li Liang being stabbed?"
“That’s right.
"Lu Ze raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Wei. He moved forward and said, "You have heard it too?"
"Of course, after hearing this, Lu Chu smiled slightly: "I'm afraid everyone in Xianyang City will know. Li Liang was assassinated, and the Hei Bingtai was dispatched urgently. He captured the couple's killer in ten hours. This is big news."
"Oh .Lu Ze sighed: "It's big news, but for Wu, it's big trouble."
Lu Ya's smile faded. She looked at Lu Ze and looked at Lu's busiest work who was boiling water. After a long time, she said, "Brother asked who the employer is? Is it difficult to deal with?"
"I didn't ask, because of this, I couldn't handle it. Lu Ze straightened his back and smashed his mouth: "Who else could be the one who wants to kill Li Liang in Xianyang City, and who could be hiring such a killer at this price?"
Changya and Lu Luo looked at each other, and seemed to have a heart-to-heart smile. "Brother, do you think it's her?"
"I'm afraid everyone knows that it was her, Lu Ze smiled in embarrassment: "I originally hoped it was not her, but the assassin didn't reveal a word. It made me difficult for me to attack him. He hesitated and said, "Wu Ju went to check it, and it's probably possible to find the evidence in one or two days at most. E-chan, tell me, what should I do? Should I catch her then, or not?"
Chang Po curled her lips and interrupted: "If the evidence is verified, of course we have to seize it. How can we let such a good opportunity go? Sister, don't you?
Lu Chu glanced at Lu Luan, but did not answer her words. She pondered for a moment, instead shook her head: "I don't think I can catch it."
"Why? Lu Po asked in confusion.
"Even if it's her, what's wrong with avenging her family? Even if you catch her, you can still cure her death penalty. Why bother to offend him in vain?" Lu Zhi blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes flashed: "You don't know his temper. Feng was a little guilty for her because of this. Now that someone has done it for him, he might be happy. If you want her to be arrested in prison, I'm afraid someone will come to you without his signing. Can you kill her?"
"Sister, this is Guanzhong. What he kept saying was to rule the country by law. How could a woman mislead his reputation because of a woman? Sister, don't forget that Qin Fa prohibits private killing. Ignoring revenge for his parents, Lu Yi glanced at Lu Zhi with a sideways and said disdainfully: "Why don't I know his temper? It's because I know that I hope to take this opportunity to solve this problem. No one can move the position of the princess. The remaining few of us have not yet determined our superiority. Bo Ji is a Taoist practitioner. If you don't have to worry about others, the only one who can compete with us is Wu Piao."
Chang Po was a little excited, and she stood up and said angrily: "It's because of this Wu Piao. My husband has not welcomed his sister to the palace yet. The weight of her in his heart can be imagined. Once she enters the palace, she will delete the relationship between the two concubines and the common family. Wouldn't our Lu family move back again, a crazy girl!
"You are not worried about our Lu family, but about your wife's position. Lu Zhi laughed softly, pulled Lu Yi, who had a blushing face to her, let her sit down, and persuaded softly: "There is only her left Wu Piao, what else do you have to worry about? Even if the king is kind to her, what can it affect my Lu family?
Chang Po pouted and said nothing.
"Besides, what else can I expect from my Lu family today? My eldest brother is Shangqing, and my second brother is one of the Four Pillar Kingdoms. This time, the king intends to make contributions to the Huns. Now he has a strong army in his hand. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Don't be too petty, this will backfire." She looked at Lu Married's abdomen and suddenly laughed: "If you are really worried, you will have a son as soon as possible, it is true."
"By the way, young man, why are you not pregnant yet? Is there any problem? Have you ever asked the imperial physician for a look? Lv Ze also asked with concern.
Lu Yi blushed and whispered them. He glanced at Lu Wei and said, "What's wrong with me? Now he's too busy, what can I do? Besides, I'm not alone, isn't Bo Ji not pregnant either?"
"Is he so busy?" Lv Ze frowned.
"I'm not too busy with government affairs, but his thoughts are all about the princess and his three sons. I can't live with me for two days a month." She said jealously: "I want to see him. I'll come to my sister to wait for a better chance."
Changzhi's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't say a word.
When Changze saw this, he was a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and broke up for Lu Zhi: "He just had a young crown and had a child. Of course, he was new and it was normal to come and see it frequently. After this freshness, he left. I said he should die less. This is not good for you. You must know that jealousy is a taboo for women."
, Ten thousand
"Hmph, you men are all the same. You can only pick up flowers and flirt with the grass. But we women can't even say a word. Lu Yi raised his head and stood up and left regardless of the tea on the stove. Lu Chu was silent, reached out to lift the teapot, poured a tea cup for Lu Ze, brewed another cup of tea, and served it in front of Changze with both hands. Lu Ze, who was choked by Lu Marriage, took the tea and moaned, then smiled and said, "It really smells so good, it's so delicious.
"Brother, this matter is too sensitive, I see. You should come to the king and ask to avoid suspicion. Be cautious, it is always good. My Lu Family Tree attracts wind, and I am so ignorant. I am afraid that my son will be so ignorant.
"Well, Lu Ze shook his head: "Young Man is really a little calmer. Before, he was a more calm person. Why are you becoming more frivolous now? If you continue like this, it's probably not a good thing. In my opinion, you should enter the palace as soon as possible. It's always better to have you next to her to take care of her."
"Oh," Lu Chu sighed, looking at Lu Yi who was leaning against the corridor column outside the door for a while, then turned his head and said softly: "Shaosheng is too concerned about the king. He always wants to please the king, but she sighed softly: "People's hearts are always unsatisfied. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women only have one in their hearts. Of course, this idea is different. How can you men think of the suffering of our women?"
Lu Ze rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. He finished the tea quietly and stood up to say goodbye. When he walked past Lu Yi, he leaned over to look at Lu Yi, but saw that her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried. Lu Ze wanted to laugh at her, but suddenly felt a little unbearable. He married her to Gongwei just to find another big tree for the Lu family outside of Liu Ji. Now the big tree has been found, but Shaoxian can only be a concubine. This is better than E's marrying Liu Ji.
"Shaosheng Lu Ze patted Lu Po's shoulder with mercy and comforted him, "Listen to your brother. Don't be impatient. The king is a good man who values friendship. He has neglected you now. When he knows, he will definitely compensate you twice. If you are too impatient, it will be inappropriate."
"Brother, don't worry, I got it, Lu Yiqiang smiled and said with a strong nasal voice.
Chang Ze was speechless and patted Lu Yi gently. Within his big hand, his sister's shoulders seemed to have become much thinner again. He looked at Lu Marry, and suddenly he realized that Lu Yi's chin was a little pointed, and his face was not very good. His rosy face was rushing by tears. When his sleeves were wiped, he showed a slightly dull complexion.
"The palace" isn't it good?" Lu Ze asked solemnly.
"fine.
"Lu Po smiled concealedly: "I just don't get used to it. I always feel that it's better than when I was fighting with him Nan Meng."
Chang Ze was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly. When Lu Yi followed Gongwei to fight, Gongwei was only her and Bo Ji. Bo Ji was a weak person. Lu Yi certainly had the upper hand. Gongwei stayed with her most of her free time. Although he had a wife Bai Mei, Lu Yi could not understand it for a while. She had been living the life of a wife. Now that she entered the palace, Bai Mei returned to Gongwei. She also gave birth to a son. Gongwei was a person who valued love. She felt that she had owed Bai Mei, so of course she had to accompany Bai Mei more. In addition, Lu Chu and Wu Piao took up a lot of time for Gongwei. Lu Yi felt lost, which was expected.
