A half-moon hung in the sky. This night was extremely warm. Occasionally, the wind blew through, and it was also a warm breeze.
Lu Yan hugged Yilang and walked in the yard, whispering to Lin Jinrong about the conversation he had with Lu Lun during the day: "I recognized a big brother, whom I recognized from the Taiming Mansion, and said he saved his life.
He ran away from home that winter because he really wanted to join the army, but then he accidentally provoked a gangster, lost all his money, and almost lost his life. It was this man who saved him."
Lin Jinrong listened silently. Lu Lun did not tell the truth to Lu Mian, and his words were unclear. Maybe in Lu Lun's opinion, it is better not to tell Lu Mian too clearly about some things. But the way she looked at Lu Mian seemed to be something else.
Have ideas.
Lu Yan did have other ideas. He heard Lu Lun talk about some of the "eldest brother"'s style, which reminded him of a person. His surname was Guo Minghai. He was also a martial artist. He became a sixth-grade captain and was brave.
He was capable of fighting and had a reputation as a virtuous man, but it was a pity that he was with the wrong person. In recent years, there were frequent conflicts between Beimo and the imperial court. There were constant wars, big and small, and people would die in wars. If a man died on the battlefield and was wrapped in horse leather, he would have died a worthy death, but he and
That general was good at fighting, but he did not die on the battlefield, but died in the officialdom. He was known as a collaborator. He died unjustly for no reason, and his entire family died unjustly. He was also implicated in the death.
There was a large group of people, including Guo Hai.
Guo Hai knew he was facing a dead end, so he refused to die unjustly. He gathered more than 40 people and killed those who went to arrest him. He fled overnight and raised a banner, claiming to be a justice for heaven and killing corrupt officials. Last winter, Feng
There was civil turmoil in the state, and Zhao Qiongniang's brother was convicted for it, so he was inseparable from Guo Hai. This Guo Hai is not well-known in Taiming Mansion, but in the area near Beimo, this person is known to everyone.
, the imperial court hung wanted pictures of him everywhere, and I don’t know how he came to Taiming Mansion and how Lu Lun got into trouble with this person.
Lu Yan was very worried. If this guess was correct, Lu Lun was in serious trouble, and there was really no turning back. Even if Lu Lun regretted it and wanted to go home, he would not be able to leave easily, and they would not let him go at all.
What's more, if these past things were accidentally known to others, not only Lu Lun, but also the entire Lu family would be dragged down. He had to find a proper way to resolve this matter, but he didn't dare to talk to Lin Jinrong about these things.
Fortunately, Lin Jinrong didn't mean to break the pot and ask for the truth. After a long silence, he just said: "It doesn't matter whether he is dealing with bad people or good people, he must find a way to solve it properly. Erlang, what do you think of how to deal with it?"
It’s best, I’ll always help you.”
Lu Yan let out a long sigh: "He can't stay in this house anymore."
Lin Jinrong didn't say a word: "I'll prepare the money for him. If you can persuade him, let him leave those people. No matter where he goes, it will be great if he can survive."
Lu Yan sighed: "This is not enough."
Lin Jinrong frowned: "How?"
Lu Yan said: "Did you know that if someone commits a crime and fears that it will bring trouble to the family, they will arrange for his father and brother to accuse him of disobedience and expel him from the country?"
Now that the household registration has been issued, Lu Lun will no longer be part of this family from now on. Lin Jinrong was silent for a long time, gently grabbed Lu Mian's hand, and whispered: "It's better than dying."
Lu Yan said: "Then I'll make arrangements. Why don't we use the excuse of him being drunk to cause trouble."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly took Yilang over and whispered: "Be careful yourself. Also be careful when trying to break up a fight. They have a large number of people. Earlier, my second uncle took the door bolt to hit Wulang. You go and pull him. I will
Looking at him, he seems to want to take the opportunity to hit you a few times. It makes my heart twitch."
Lu Yan was a little depressed at first, but when he heard what she said and saw the worry on her face, he felt soft in his heart. The bad mood couldn't help but go away a bit, and he said with a smile: "What do you think our family does? It's not on the street.
He is a gangster who always beats people with his fists. I have a sense of propriety. Didn't you see that I hugged him from behind? If he wants to hit me, he must be able to hit me."
Lin Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled: "Let's go. If it's late, don't come over to see Yi Lang. Get some rest early." I don't know when this ritual will be done, but it is clearly meant to torture a living person.
The power of fate is that it doesn't just follow your will if you know the opportunity first and take action to solve it. Often when you think it's still too late and you think you can change it, it suddenly turns a corner and changes according to your will.
It comes from an unexpected direction, making people unprepared and confused.
That night, Lu Yan did not come to see Lin Jinrong and Yi Lang. After Mrs. Lu rested, Lin Jinrong hugged Yi Lang and went to bed. While half asleep, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the window outside.
Afraid of surprising Yi Lang, he hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up, walked to the window and whispered: "Who?"
It was Fangzhu who came. Fangzhu's throat seemed to be blocked by something, with an indescribable horror: "Grandma, she is a slave."
"Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you." Lin Jinrong was sweating all over her body. She opened the door softly. Yingying, who was sleeping outside, had already heard the sound and lit the lamp. Seeing Lin Jinrong coming out, she wisely didn't ask any more questions.
, first opened the door, let Fangzhu in, and then said: "Grandma, put on more clothes. I will go and change the brazier."
"Why are you changing the brazier in the middle of the night? Be careful of disturbing the old lady." Lin Jinrong pushed her away: "Put on more clothes and go and guard the door."
Cherry wrapped herself up in a thick cotton jacket obediently, got up and walked to the door.
Lin Jinrong motioned to Fangzhu: "Come in with me."
Under the light, Fang Zhu's face was as white as a ghost, but she tried her best to keep calm. After entering the inner room, she said with trembling lips: "Grandma, Brother Huo is dead."
Lin Jinrong's head buzzed, and he felt that his whole body had lost all strength and seemed to be stiff. He didn't know what expression or action to make.
"Grandma?" Fangzhu was afraid that she would be frightened, so he had the courage to pinch her arm hard. The pain made Lin Jinrong take a breath, calmed down, and said, "What's going on?"
Fangzhu had tears in her eyes: "Yesterday, the second master asked Brother Huo to go to the alley behind Xinghua Building to see if he could meet those people. He said that if he could stare at them, he would stare at them. If he couldn't, he would
Don't worry about it. But if the child never comes back, we don't take it seriously. We just think that he got the money given by the second master and went away to have fun. Just earlier, Master Ji came to find my house.
It is said that Brother Huo died deep in the alley of Xinghua Tower... fatally with a knife."
Lin Jinrong's eyes instantly burst into tears. She didn't know whether it was guilt, regret, or sadness. People always died. She had never heard that Brother Huo was dead. This child was her son who lived with her.
I met her twice. She was a very smart and good child. Her mother and I guarded the village for her. I wanted to find another way out for him, so I sent him to this house, but I didn't know that he lost his life. If
She didn't know about this and didn't let Lu Yan arrange it, so the child would definitely not die. But she knew clearly, but she had to arrange it. How did this happen back then? Maybe someone died back then,
Who died? Lin Jinrong was confused and sad.
Seeing her sadness, Fangzhu hurriedly advised: "This child is unlucky."
Now that someone is dead, Lu Lun must have started to do something in advance. Now is not the time to feel sad. Lin Jinrong wiped his tears fiercely and said, "Does the Second Master know?"
Fangzhu whispered: "How come you don't know? Who dares to hide such a big thing? Now except for the old lady's Rong Jingju and the clan elders, as well as the third master, all the masters know about it. Several masters and the second master
They all gathered in Tingxue Pavilion to listen to Master Ji telling what happened. I thought that you had ordered me to tell you everything that concerns Fifth Master, so I came in overnight."
The oil in the oil lamp was about to burn out. The flame was getting smaller and smaller, and the light was getting darker and darker. As he was dying, Lin Jinrong took a breath and said, "Have you called Fifth Master over?"
Fangzhu was stunned for a moment: "This slave doesn't know."
Lin Jinrong said: "Go and inquire, then go and see the third grandma to see if she is up. Then come and tell me quietly, don't disturb other people." Although she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, at this time
But she can't go out and make random inquiries. After all, this world is still a man's world. It's not her little wife's turn to take care of these things. If she runs out, not only will it have no effect, but even Lu Yan will be scolded.
, but it’s not easy to do anything.
The lights dimmed little by little, and finally went out, and the room fell into darkness. Cherry shouted very quietly from outside: "Grandma, please change the lamp and come in?" She didn't hear Lin Jinrong's answer, so she stopped talking.
.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Jinrong leaned on the head of the bed, feeling that his patience had reached its limit, and footsteps finally sounded outside again. Lin Jinrong hurriedly opened the door to the inner room and greeted Fang Zhu: "How?"
Fangzhu was sweating heavily from running, and after taking a breath, she said: "It's dark in the fifth master's yard, but a lamp is on in the third grandma's yard. This slave ran to Tingxue Pavilion again, where the second master and the eldest master
, the Third Master took Master Ji out that night, and also ordered a few helpful stewards on weekdays. The servant waited for a long time before arriving in Chang'an, and he said that the Fifth Master was not inside. The First Master, the Second Master was talking behind closed doors. "
In the whole incident, the third room was isolated from the outside, and the first room and the second room were all involved. Lu Yan, Lu Shao and others went out, and they must have gone to deal with Brother Huo's affairs. They must have seen the signs. Next, a certain
Once these things are confirmed, they will probably discuss how to get rid of the scourge Lu Lun.
Fangzhu endured it and said in a very low voice: "Also, Changshou told me that the family in the alley behind Xinghua Tower died..."
Lin Jinrong swallowed nervously and went to grab some clothes to wear. She wanted to go find Lu Lun and couldn't stay.
