Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 168 Heart Eater
Gu Yu's qinggong is not as good as Lu Xiao's. When he rushed to the street, he saw a group of young men standing there trembling and motionless. After careful questioning, he realized that the prince had taken one of them away for questioning.

Gu Yu thought that Lu Xiao would not go far when he landed, so he just stood guard here. Sure enough, before the hour of a stick of incense, Lu Xiao came back, looking from afar with a bad face.

Gu Yu hastily went up to meet him, and the young men couldn't help but craned their necks to look.

"Master, what about the little shepherd?"

Gu Yu leaned behind Lu Xiao and said in surprise.

Lu Xiao's gaze swept over the young men one by one, turned his head and said to Gu Yu:
"Dead in a back alley."

"I just sent someone to report to the Jingzhao Mansion, and brought Wu Zuo to come for an autopsy. You take these people under custody, and take them to the Yamen for interrogation in a while."

died?

When the boys heard this, they were terrified.
King Lu Yan really killed Si Yin!
The young men suddenly became a mess, knelt down and cried to Lu Xiao, begging:

"My lord, please forgive me."

"This matter is Si Yin's own idea, and you really don't know about it."

"Yes, yes. I beg my son to see clearly and save our lives."

Lu Xiao gave these young men in red and green shirts a headache, and suddenly his face sank, and he shouted sharply:
"What are you yelling for? Shut up!"

Immediately, the young men looked at Lu Xiao with red eyes, sadly, but finally dared not speak again.

Thinking of this matter, Lu Xiao couldn't keep it a secret, Lu Xiao's brain would explode, how should he explain to Li Taiwei that he bought Qingfeng Pavilion as a gift to her?
As soon as Gu Yu heard that Lu Xiao was going to call Wu Zuo, he guessed something, and said seriously:
"Your Majesty, you can go to Qingfeng Hall to check."

Lu Xiao nodded, with a sullen face:

"Jing Zhe has already gone... You stay here, I will go and explain to Lord Qiu first."

Gu Yu was still a little worried. After all, everyone thought that Si Yin died in Lu Xiao's hands, and when the master interrogated, most of them would not leave others present, so it would be difficult...

Lu Xiao didn't worry about this matter, he hurriedly explained to Gu Yu and went to Jingzhao Mansion.

When Mr. Qiu received the news, his face changed in shock.Immediately mobilize the guards and foremen, and divide the soldiers into two groups to rush to the crime scene and Qingfeng Hall.

This case involved Changping Hou Shizi, Mr. Qiu did not dare to be sloppy, so he hurriedly ordered people to prepare horses, and was about to lead people to drive to the market in person, when he came out of the Yamen, he met Lu Xiao who came alone.

Mr. Qiu sat on the horseback, stared at Lu Xiao who came calmly, and then got off the horse in a hurry, stepped forward and couldn't help calling out:
"Lu Shizi, you... that's why you're here?"

Lu Xiao was stared at by Mr. Qiu and his party, but his expression was normal, and he went forward to hand in hand with Mr. Qiu and said:

"My lord, I have something important to say to my lord. I wonder if my lord can take a step to speak?"

Master Qiu glanced around, and led the way with Lu Xiao:
"My son, please..."

Lu Xiao and Mr. Qiu entered the study, Mr. Qiu turned away from the left and right, with a confused expression on his face:
"What's the matter, but it's okay to say it... If it's related to the case, the prince needs to speak out as soon as possible to remove the suspicion..."

Although the young lady in the Qingfeng Hall is a slave, but after all these people are looking at them in broad daylight, and they are at the feet of the emperor. If this is not a good thing, this prince Lu will cause a catastrophe!

Lu Xiao didn't seem to worry about himself at all. He leaned over to Master Qiu and asked in a low voice:
"My lord, do you know which family in the court breeds heart-eating grass?"

Qiu Tiande was shocked when he heard the words:
"Heart-eating grass? This... This is a forbidden drug from the previous dynasty... Why did Lu Shizi ask such a question?"

Lu Xiao looked at Lord Qiu and said nothing.

Qiu Tiande suddenly understood something, and his face suddenly became tense:

"Your Majesty, you are saying...that young man has been poisoned by the Heart-eating Grass?"

Lu Xiao nodded silently, but his eyes were very determined.

Qiu Tiande's back immediately broke out in a layer of cold sweat, the past life pearl of Prince Rui's residence appeared in the world, and now there is the heart-eating grass... Could it be that the divine way has really revived!
Master Qiu stabilized his mind, thought carefully for a while, and then said:
"I heard that this heart-eating grass is highly poisonous, but it is a good medicine for pain relief... When the first emperor ascended the throne, he ordered that all of this thing be burned, and only a few noble families who helped the society were allowed to plant a few plants for use as medicine. Not even the imperial hospital keep..."

"These families are all military generals who fought with the late emperor and made great achievements in battle. Due to injuries and illnesses, they can't do without this herb..."

"Back then, these families were called by the servants to record it. The late emperor also said that this thing can only be kept for his own use, and should not be passed on to outsiders. Otherwise, he will be punished as a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"It's been several decades, and I can't remember exactly which ones have been raised, but..."

Master Qiu looked at Lu Xiao in surprise:

"I remember... there should be a plant in the Shizi's house... Could it be that the Shizi didn't know about it?"

Lu Xiao's expression was calm when he heard the words. He had checked this matter in his previous life, so he naturally knew, so he said slowly:

"I heard from my father that since my grandfather died of illness, the heart-eating grass specially bestowed by the late emperor has gradually withered..."

"This matter was reported to the Supreme Hospital back then, and it was the Qin Institute who burned the stumps with his own hands..."

Mr. Qiu nodded, if the young man really died of the poison...then this Lu Shizi can leave it alone...

As long as there is evidence that the young man took drugs, and Lu Shizi has an alibi, then this matter will be close...

"Lu Xiao!"

Suddenly someone outside shouted loudly like a bell, and it shook people's eardrums.
"Little brat... get out of here!"

Lu Hou's angry voice startled Qiu Tiande almost to the point of spraining his feet.

Lord Qiu patted his chest lightly and comforted himself, and then he regained his composure, and walked out of the study with Lu Xiao.

Lu Hou hurriedly brought up the family law, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he looked very angry!

Gu Yu followed behind Lu Hou, timidly, wanted to pull but didn't dare to make a move, so he gave Lu Xiao a look of "My son, what a blessing you are!", making Lu Xiao short of breath.

In front of these people, Lu Xiao didn't want to contradict his old man, so he lifted up his robe and apologized to him, hoping to calm things down first, when he saw a woman suddenly appearing behind Lu Hou.

Lu Xiao's eyes were sharp, and when he took a closer look, his old face was filled with embarrassment... It was Li Taiwei who came!

This... I can't kneel at all...

Lu Hou's face was ashen with anger, seeing Lu Xiao, a rebellious son, standing in front of him with his neck stalked, his nostrils almost spewing fire, he ran over with his family law...

"You little brat, how dare you do such a thing behind my back..."

Lu Xiao couldn't help rubbing his forehead when he heard Lu Hou swearing, he didn't think he would be ashamed of the swearing that he even took part in!
While frantically parrying Lu Hou's moves, he couldn't help but secretly turned to look at Li Taiwei's expression.

It's okay, it's okay... Looking at her, she is still calm...

The big stone in Lu Xiao's heart was only half down, when he saw Mrs. Li sneered slightly, turned around and pulled out a huge saber from the guard beside him, raised both hands high and said to Lu Hou:

"Lord Lu! You made this!"
