Luo nine needles

Chapter 229
In the middle of February, the capital has lost the festive atmosphere, but it is still bustling and lively.

It's just that the weather seems to be colder than in the first month. Standing in the gate of the city, even though they are wearing thick jackets, the guards have to walk and stamp their feet from time to time to relieve the stiffness of their bodies.

But the atmosphere is also very lively.

"Lu Hanlin left the city before dawn today." A soldier whispered, "Is he resigning and leaving?"

Another soldier immediately retorted: "Lu Hanlin didn't do anything evil, why did he resign?"

"You are really guarding the city gate for nothing." Another guard said, "There was news from the official post a few days ago that Lu Hanlin's parents are coming, and Lu Hanlin went to pick them up in person."

This remark caused another discussion.

"Poor, those two old people don't know if they can bear this bad news." "Lu Hanlin shouldn't have picked up the old people." "Oh, that lady was raised by two elders. Can't hide it."

Lu Hanlin and his fiancée went to the Lantern Banquet, and the news that Huo Lian saw the beauty's heart and directly robbed her has been spread in the past half a month. It is no longer the officials' private discussion, but everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it.

For a while, the capital was in an uproar.

Snatching wives and daughters is common in the city and the countryside, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of official status, one is a powerful minister and the other is an upstart.

Lu Hanlin filed a complaint in front of the emperor, the emperor was furious, and the court was impeached by civil and military officials. Huo Dudu stayed behind closed doors and refused to return.

While everyone was discussing how this matter would end, new news came. Huo Lian told the emperor that the beauty had died of illness.

"Your Majesty also knows that when a person fell into the water in the palace, he was injured at that time, and he also suffered from the wind and cold. I tried my best to take care of it, but I still couldn't recover."

It is said that Huo Lian said this in front of the emperor.

As the news spread, some believed it and others did not.

Some people believed that he was really dead, but he definitely did not die of illness.

"It must be unbearable to be humiliated and committed suicide."

"Yeah, how could a decent girl endure such humiliation, and she's not that shameless young lady from the Liang family."

But there are also many people who don't believe it.

"It must be a lie, I don't want to return it."

"Yes, Lu Hanlin should ask for the corpse."

"Oh, do you want a corpse? Is Duchasi missing a corpse? Can Duchasi still make a fake corpse?"

There were also people who shook their heads in dismay.

"Huo Lianquansheng, he said that a person is dead, can His Majesty still let him pay for his life?"

"However, His Majesty has also compensated Lu Hanlin. There is news that he will be promoted."

When the soldiers and guards were discussing this, someone sneered: "Then this is a promotion to get rich and a dead wife. Lu Hanlin is really happy."

What are you talking about!

Lu Hanlin had no misfortune, and he was not afraid of Huo Lian suing the emperor. It is said that the emperor thought of a way to make things right for him at that time. After all, his fiancée had lost his innocence and was no longer suitable for marriage.

The emperor will marry Huo Lian and this young lady to fulfill that young lady's decency, and then give a marriage to Lu Hanlin, it is said that it is for the princess.

But Lu Hanlin refused, saying that he would only marry that young lady in his life, and he would not change his life or death.

The people in the city both admire and pity Lu Hanlin.

This is a sad thing for Lu Hanlin, how can he say that!

Several soldiers and guards turned their heads and saw Zhang Yuan standing aside.

I don't know if it was because of the cold or something, but Zhang Yuan didn't sleep leaning against the wall like before, and he didn't know when he came over to listen to the excitement.

"What are you talking about, old Zhang!" A soldier was dissatisfied, "Does Lu Hanlin want to kill his wife?"

Zhang Yuanha laughed, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not sure, you see, once the fiancée dies, the official will also be promoted, and the fortune will also be made. There are many benefits."

These words made the soldiers and guards angry, and the people passing by the city gate also looked sideways.

"It's nothing more than a promotion." A soldier frowned, "What is getting rich, you're talking nonsense!"

Zhang Yuan scoffed again, and looked into the city subconsciously. Now everyone knows that Lu Hanlin's fiancée was robbed, but that fiancée is just a vague female name.

In addition to the identity of the fiancee, the woman's other identity is actually more famous.

But this identity is unknown and seems to have been deliberately concealed.

Although Linglongfang's reputation has only just started, it is still well-known, and it can continue to operate in the capital. The woman is gone, and the property has naturally fallen into the hands of her affectionate "fiancé".

It's not that I got rich.

"Also, if Huo Lian hadn't robbed someone, who would have known that Lu Hanlin had a fiancée?" Zhang Yuan continued, "Don't everyone think that he is going to be the son-in-law of Xia Hou's family? He brought a strange woman to the banquet, Who knows it's his fiancée, Huo Lian thought it was a maidservant or sister, if he knew it was his fiancée, maybe he wouldn't grab it, maybe Huo Lian would call it unlucky at this time."

It would be fine to say that Lu Hanlin is not good, but Zhang Yuan actually praised Huo Lian, the guards around were stunned, and the passing people were also annoyed.

"You madman!" An old woman grabbed a piece of dry biscuit from the basket and threw it at him, "I think you also robbed someone's wife!"

The old woman's move was so sudden that Zhang Yuan didn't even dodge it, and when he was hit on the head, he also shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"

The old woman was impulsive, and she was not so bold before, when she saw the bearded soldier staring at the red eyes, she immediately became frightened, hugged the basket tightly and quickened her pace.

Fortunately, the vicious soldiers did not rush to chase her.

The people around were also a little nervous, but they still cast contemptuous glances and murmured from time to time.

"You actually slandered Lu Hanlin."

"How could there be such a person."

Zhang Yuan stared at the passing crowd and sneered: "You guys know nothing!"

"That's right." The leader of the city guard had been watching from the side, and at this moment he swayed over, with a half-smile, "We really don't understand, unlike Zhang Canjun, who once worked for Dudu Dudu Huo."

These words reminded the other soldiers and guards of what happened to Zhang Yuan back then.

Isn't that right, Zhang Yuan used the name of tracking down the murderer, had contacts with the Duchasi, and even went to other cities to ostentatiously extort bribes.

Then one of the guards pursed his lips and muttered: "No wonder Fu Yin didn't like him, so he demoted him."

It's good to belittle.

"Old Zhang." There was also a guard who persuaded him somewhat, "You are a poor man, and Lu Hanlin is also a poor man. Poor man, don't be harsh on the poor man."

Zhang Yuan listened to the cynicism, looked at the contemptuous eyes around him, sneered, and said something, there was a commotion outside the city, and a carriage surrounded by servants came.

What followed was the uproar of the people.

"It's Lu Hanlin's car."

"Where did Lu Hanlin go?"

"It seems to be picking up family."

The guards also hurriedly dispersed to maintain order so as not to block the city gate.

The carriage stopped in front of them. Wrapped in a cloak, the pale young man raised the curtain and said, "Lu Yizhi from the Hanlin Academy has picked up his parents. Do you want to check the directions?"

The guards looked into the car and saw two elders, a man and a woman. The man's face was ashen, and the woman's eyes were swollen, and there were still tears on her face...

The guards hurriedly looked away and said respectfully: "No, no, Mr. Lu, let's go to the city quickly."

Lu Yizhi nodded, and put down the curtains of the carriage, blocking the sight of the people crowding around. The carriage swayed forward, and the woman's cry could be faintly heard.

The people and the soldiers and guards couldn't help sighing: "Poor."

Only Zhang Yuan still sneered.

Pitiful?
If he hadn't heard Lu Yizhi's private conversation with that woman, he would have felt pitiful.

But in fact, he knew that this woman was indeed Lu Yizhi's fiancée, but Lu Yizhi didn't want to marry that woman at all, he just wanted to trick her into marrying Miss Xiahou.

Now that the woman was robbed by Huo Lian, maybe he got what he wanted, and he was very happy.

Who is poor?
The most pitiful thing is that woman!
These two dog men!

Zhang Yuan flicked his sleeves and walked away, leaning against the wall again and closing his eyes, he didn't want to see the mess in the world, but he still couldn't help thinking, that woman couldn't really die, could she?
……

……

The window on the highest part of Huixian Tower was opened, and one could see the carriages passing by on the street.

"That's Lu Hanlin picking up his parents." Zhike said hurriedly.

Liu Yan withdrew his gaze and glanced at him: "All eyes are on the court officials."

The Zhike looked a little uneasy, Liu Yan had set the rules for Momen in the capital, and they were not allowed to spy on the court officials.

Of course, half-truths and half-truths are also followed.

"My lord." He said softly, "The situation is different now. She, our head, is involved with these two court officials, so we must not keep an eye on them to avoid any accidents."

Liu Yan said coldly: "Are you still afraid of accidents?"

Zhike said: "Master Liu, the master also told you that we have the tallest tycoon in our Mo sect. Although the head is young, the master is not qualified to intervene, let alone stop her from doing things." He sighed when he said this, " Master can't even get up in a hurry."

Liu Yan didn't ask the rich man if she was pretending, but said: "You really don't know what she is going to do?"

"We didn't know about it in advance, and we didn't even know about her and the Lu family." Zhike said, "After the incident, she sent a letter telling us not to act rashly, and then there was no news, and we dared not Go ask, Duchasi is closely guarded, and Duchasi is also watching Linglongfang."

Speaking of this, Zhike hesitated.

"Maybe the head wants to win over Huo Lian..."

"Isn't it convenient for you, my lord, to find out what Huo Lian has said?"

Liu Yan smiled: "I don't want to take risks for you, Mo Sect, to find out what Huo Lian said, that's to die in front of Huo Lian." After finishing speaking, she got up and walked out.

Zhike didn't force it, and bowed to see him off.

Liu Yan stepped out but was stopped by boos, he turned his head and saw Gao Xiaoliu waving to him in the private room next to him.

Playing tricks all day long, Liu Yan turned his gaze away and walked straight away, Gao Xiaoliu followed helplessly.

"Master Liu, Master Liu." He whispered, "I have something to ask, it's a big matter."

Liu Yan didn't look sideways, and asked: "Your father is the one who cares about the big things, and your father will hold the sky for you."

Gao Xiaoliu didn't care, and pressed his palm tightly on his arm.

Liu Yan still remembered the pain caused by this palm. He stood still and turned to look at Gao Xiaoliu.

"Master Liu, you said that if I penetrate Huo Lian's palm this time." Gao Xiaoliu whispered, "Will I be able to enter Duchasi's cell?"

Liu Yan laughed: "Of course not, you will only enter the Luan Mound and bring your father along with you."

　There are typos and sentences that are not smooth. My friends asked me to change them. I was lazy today and didn’t check them.
