Luo nine needles

Chapter 37

"It's over, it's over..."

In the dormitory, under the dim light, Mrs. Lu's clothes were disheveled, her hair was in a mess, her complexion was pale, she sat on the edge of the bed and muttered.

"My third brother is about to be killed..."

Mr. Lu, who was walking back and forth outside, heard this, and shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, what does it have to do with the third brother, didn't you say it, the person died, and his face was burned, and he couldn't recognize who it was."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling rejoicing. Fortunately, he had the foresight to find a countryman whom no one knew to do this job.

But then he was ashamed and annoyed.

The countryman was too stupid, he didn't kill others, he killed himself.

This, really killed himself?

Master Lu flashed a question, but immediately denied it himself, what if it is not the case?Did the little servant girl kill him?

How funny.

Master Lu shook off this thought and sat down beside him.

"So now the progress of the case is that Linglongfang thinks that some colleagues are jealous, so they want to murder the newly found embroiderer, that is, the little maid?" He took a deep breath and asked.

The steward who was watching this matter in Xu Cheng nodded repeatedly: "That's the way it is now, the owner of Linglongfang has also gone to the government."

Master Lu sighed again. Earlier, Da Furen asked people to go to this Linglongfang to make side attacks, and was provoked by the shopkeeper who didn't know what to do, so that's fine.

"Whoever does business is not hated by others, his peers are enemies. There are dozens of embroidery workshops in Xucheng alone, so let the government investigate." He said.

After checking and checking, they can't be found out. They have no enmity with Linglongfang.

"Master, you are confused." Mrs. Lu rushed out from inside.

Seeing the lady with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, the steward was startled and wanted to leave, but the master didn't say anything, so he could only hang his head lower.

"We have no enmity with Linglongfang, but Linglongfang got involved, and that little servant girl has a backer, so she will take the opportunity to sue us with the government."

Master Lu frowned: "There is no proof, why is she suing? Besides, if she finds out that she has something to do with us, Linglongfang may not necessarily protect her. No matter how good her embroidery skills are, she will not at least let Linglong Fang will fight us desperately for her."

Their Lu family's status will make Linglongfang consider it and avoid it.

Their Lu family has no enmity with Linglongfang, Linglongfang won't let it go.

"If it's the same as before, I naturally don't care." Mrs. Lu said, looking at the steward standing there with her head bowed, "but the new magistrate of Xucheng, like a mad dog, was just a married woman in-law after all the accident in the Ning family. , can’t grab us, now who knows if he will take the opportunity to bite us.”

can you?Probably not, Mr. Lu didn't speak, but slightly clenched his hands on his knees.

In the past few years, he has been going well, and he can firmly control everything, but at this moment, he doesn't know what will happen next.

Probably because the downfall of the Ning family was too sudden, he felt that the world was different.

Although I felt that it was a bit embarrassing to do so, but Mrs. Lu couldn't stand the sadness, so Master Lu had no choice but to follow Xu Cheng's steward to go out without waiting for the dawn.

After a bumpy night, I don't know how long I will be anxious.

How to find out the news when we arrive in Xucheng?

If he took the initiative to inquire, would he appear guilty and make the magistrate pay more attention to him?

However, Master Lu didn't feel uneasy for long. On the second day after arriving in Xucheng, when he decided to put aside all thoughts and sleep for a while, the steward ran over with a slightly pale complexion.

"Master." He whispered, "Qi, Miss Qixing is here."

Who is Seven Star?Master Lu was a little at a loss.

"The little maid." The steward could only change his title.

Master Lu suddenly realized, is that little maid called Qixing?How did he know, what did he call her.

Immediately, he shivered again and stood up.

"What?" he asked, "He brought the people from the government?"

Come directly to arrest people? !

"No, no." The steward said hastily, "She is alone, with a maid, and she said she came to see the fabric."

……

……

"I am the embroiderer of Linglongfang."

The lady stood in the store and said, sweeping across the counter with a calm expression, her hands gently stroking the rolls of fabric.

"See if there's fresh cloth."

Fresh fabrics, isn't the embroidery shop always looking down on the fabrics of their cloth shop?The shop clerk curled his lips inwardly, and was about to greet lazily when he was standing behind the counter playing tricks on the shopkeeper, but suddenly raised his head.

"Linglongfang?" He blurted out.

In the past, he didn't care about Linglongfang, but at this moment...

The lady looked over, her eyes were like stars.

"Yes, Linglongfang." She said, "Because of a case involved recently, Mrs. Dong, our shopkeeper, is on the go. I plan to share her worries and make a new style of embroidery, so I'm here to choose the fabric I need. .”

She turned her eyes and scanned the store.

"However, these fabrics are not suitable. I don't know if the owner of your shop is here..."

She looked at the shopkeeper.

"My name is Qixing. I used to live in Yucheng. I have long admired the name of Master Lu, Buxing Lu. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to meet him. Please tell me about him. What good news have you got recently?"

……

……

Lu's cloth shop has a living room that is more luxurious than Linglongfang, with exquisite refreshments, gorgeous decorations, and even the window lattices are made in the shape of crabapple flowers.

Master Lu stood behind the window, looking at the girl sitting inside through the crabapple lattice.

Although I have been raised at home for more than five years, not only do I not know her name, I can't even remember her appearance. Who cares about an orphan girl.

However, after eating his Lu's food for more than five years, I recognized him when I saw him.

"She said to talk to me?" He turned his head and asked the shopkeeper in a low voice.

The shopkeeper said in a low voice: "She also found an excuse to look at the fabric, obviously concealing her relationship with our family, so master, she is..."

Master Lu let out a cold snort: "She's here to blackmail me."

He wants to use this opportunity to return to their Lu family and settle the marriage with Yi Zhi.

This orphan girl really underestimated her.

"Ah Qi." Elder Lu raised his foot, walked to the door next to him, pushed the door open, and called directly, "You're here."

Qixing looked towards the door with a calm expression, and finished the last bite of snacks.

Aokiji who was standing by the side couldn't help the anger and blood surging, and he could only look at Master Lu who came in by clenching his hands tightly.

"Uncle Lu." Qi Xing said, without standing up, and without saluting, "It's nothing more than treachery, murder and arson are a little too much, right?"

How could this maid be as soft and delicate as the family said?
Master Lu's footsteps were slightly stagnant, and he looked around subconsciously. This is his shop, and they are all his people.

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence." He said in a deep voice, and sat down opposite Qixing, "Self-revenge won't end well."

Qi Xing smiled, and said: "During the interrogation earlier, Lord Master Gong Cao asked who Linglongfang had feuded with, and also asked me." Speaking of which, she looked at Elder Lu, "I said I would think about it."

That is to say, he did not directly say that he had any enmity with the Lu family.

Think about it, think about it, maybe you can remember it, or maybe you can’t remember it, what do you think?Master Lu snorted in his heart, so it really was a threat.
