Chapter 106 The Red Lion in Beijing, the Nanfu Murder Case
Today's Lu Mansion seems noisier than in the past.
There have been rumors in many courtyards that Lu Jing stayed in a brothel overnight and got extremely drunk.
Even the brothel girl sent a fisherman to deliver a green lotus to the Lu family.
The lotus has obviously been picked, but it still looks very green. It is currently placed in Chunze Zhai.
In fact, this lotus flower had been sent to Lu Mansion by Miss Jingshi two days ago.
But when Manager Liu saw the strange lotus flower, he sent it to Mrs. Zhong.
Mrs. Zhong heard that someone had given it to Lu Jing, and she felt that the fragrance of the lotus was overflowing, and it smelled very good when placed in the house. It seemed to have the miraculous effect of awakening the spirit of the gods, which made her thoughts clearer.
So Mrs. Zhong thought about staying for a few more days, and then called Lu Jing to ask if it was a gift from an ordinary person. She could give Lu Jing some silver and leave the lotus in Nuanchun Courtyard.
Originally this was a small thing.
However, several young masters from the Second Mansion went out to have fun, but when they came back they kept whispering.
Naturally, there was a maid in the second mansion who heard the young masters talking and informed the second mansion steward about the matter.
So Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhou also knew about this, and then the situation today emerged.
Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong were in Chunze Zhai, carefully looking at the lotus flowers placed on a table in the hall.
"This Lu Jing is really getting more and more arrogant!"
Mrs. Ning was holding the deer-head peach wood crutch in her hand, and even forgot to sit on the chair. She took a deep breath, her eyes always falling on the lotus.
"Does he think that by becoming the son-in-law of Nanfu, he can sit back and relax in Lufu and do some random and dirty things without being punished?"
Mrs. Ning's eyes were cold. She thought of Mother Lu Jing again and closed her eyes in boredom.
"A single virtue! It will only bring shame to the Lu Mansion. How noble is the Lu Mansion? Our ancestors have made great achievements, and all the family heads have accumulated this kind of family property. There have never been such unworthy children. Only this Lu Jing,
As soon as his mother arrived in the capital, she made the Lu family uneasy and made many mansions in the capital laugh."
"It's better now. I became the son-in-law and caused all these troubles. Look! Look! The Duke of Nanguo had to give up several times to get the god to return home. But now I'm afraid that he will mess with him again.
Got it!"
boom!
After Mrs. Ning finished speaking, she used the peach wood crutch in her hand to knock the translucent white stone bricks under her feet, making a dull sound.
At this time, there were not many people in Chunze Zhai.
Apart from Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong, only Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhou came to tell the matter.
Mrs. Zhu's face looked as usual at this moment, but Mrs. Zhou lowered her head, and her eyes were obscured by the broken hair that had not been taken care of for a long time, making it difficult to see clearly.
In addition, there were Ning Qiang, Lin Rendong and Lu Yi who came over after hearing the news in the name of visiting the old lady.
The three of them saw the old lady being so angry. While they were worried, there was also a lot of disbelief in their eyes.
Brother Jing San is indeed too bold. Even if he just goes to the Flower Pavilion to listen to music, there are still many things that are inappropriate given his status.
No matter what else, you must always consider your own safety.
Now that the quarrel is so serious, and Lu Jiang's matter is the first, how can Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong easily bypass him?
Mrs. Zhong, who was usually graceful and dignified, could no longer control her emotions at this time, her eyes showed a lot of gloom, and she was still thinking about whether to use the strange stone to tell the master about this matter.
"If I had known today, what happened to Lu Jiang before, I shouldn't have cared too much about it. I would have punished him so hard that he would not be able to get out of bed for many days. I'm afraid he wouldn't be as worried as he is today. It's also my fault for being too caring.
The face of the Lu family.
Now that this incident has come out, if the Duke of Nanguo publicizes it, what shame will the Lu Mansion have?"
The more Mrs. Ning thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but think of that incident eight or nine years ago again. The anger in her chest rushed up, making her dizzy and almost falling down.
Fortunately, the mallow girl next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands. She supported the old lady and carefully helped her onto the brocade thick cotton seat behind her.
Several ladies quickly came forward to show concern.
Ning Qiang also frowned and gritted her teeth. She felt sorry for the old lady who usually loved her very much, but also worried about Lu Jing's situation.
Lin Rendong next to her frowned. She had lived in Lu Mansion for many days, and what she admired the most was Lu Jing, the concubine of the rich manor!
Lu Jing was mature and steady in everything he said and did. He really didn't look like someone who was reckless just to go to a brothel, drink wine and listen to music.
At this time, Mrs. Zhong finally spoke up and said to Mrs. Ning: "Old Mrs. Ning, don't be too upset. This matter has actually been going on for a few days. There should be many nobles in Taixuan Jing.
talk.
It is not impossible that a noble and wealthy family like Nan Mansion has never heard of it, but in the past few days, Nan Mansion has not questioned Lu Mansion, probably because of the disappearance of Nan Xuehu and no time to take care of it.
It means that there is still room for discussion on this matter. As long as Lu Jing is punished and the Nanfu is given an explanation, this matter may be over."
Mrs. Zhu also nodded at this time and said: "That's exactly what happened. Fortunately, Lu Jing just went to Shihua Pavilion. Which shop he went to would be the real big deal.
Now I, the Lu Mansion, only need to give an explanation to the Duke of Nanguo, and the eldest master is already on his way back to the capital. I think the imperial court will never change the order overnight, and let him return to the distant mountain road, so the old lady doesn't have to worry too much."
After the two of them persuaded her, Mrs. Ning felt much better.
She took a deep breath, shook the crutch in her hand, and shouted, "Where is Lu Jing? He didn't come back home yesterday. He is really a good son of my Lu family!"
As soon as Mrs. Ning finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the door.
The footsteps were very neat, but they did not come from two or three people, but seemed to come from a team of people!
Mrs. Ning didn't have time to wonder.
At the entrance of Chunze Zhai, there were already twelve or three more Shiyamen of Jingyin Mansion wearing black clothes with lion patterns, lion-headed swords on their waists, and brocade hats on their heads!
These lion yamen are different from ordinary prey. Their blood is boiling and their eyes flash with ferocious light. They are all top-notch masters.
The leaders are again a man and a woman, and the color of their robes is also dark red, which is different from other lion yamen!
Red Lion!
As soon as Mrs. Ning saw these two people, she immediately understood why the guards at the door and even the powerful men in the mansion did not stop them.
The arrival of the red lions means that something big is going to happen. Even if the strong men of the Lu family can stop these two red lions, they can also stop the entire Jingyin Mansion. Can they stop the Xuan Army?
Two red lions from the Jingyin Mansion came to the Lu Mansion with ten lion yamen. What happened?
When all the women in Chunze Zhai saw this scene, they were already nervous and at a loss.
The first person to come to his senses was Mrs. Ning.
And those lion yamen did have respect for Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning. They did not directly enter Chunze Zhai, but stood at the door and saluted Mrs. Ning.
But I saw Mrs. Ning frowning, leaning on a cane and saying coldly: "Two adults! What do you want to do by bringing so many people to Lu Mansion?
I have a royal decree, and the mansion under your feet is the mansion of Uncle Shen Xiao, who was personally consecrated by the Holy Lord. Are you being a little presumptuous by entering without notice?"
The leading woman straightened up, took out a token in her hand, and said loudly: "I hope Mrs. Ning knows that the lion head token of Jingyin Mansion is here, and she came to Shenxiao Mansion for a murder case.
!”
Homicide?
After hearing this, Mrs. Ning took a deep breath.
What kind of murder could alarm the Red Lion?
Mrs. Zhong also came to her senses at this time. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said: "What murder? Our Lu family has never had strong men who committed crimes with force, so how could we commit murders? Could it be that some murderous martial artist hid in the Lu family?
?”
The woman holding the token shook her head and said softly: "That's not the case. A few days ago, Nan Xuehu of Nanguo Palace disappeared inexplicably. Now there is a lot of evidence. The death of this young master of Nanfu is related to a young master of the Lu family.
It’s a big connection, I’ve been ordered to come and get him!”
Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other.
Not to mention them, even most of the people in Chunze Zhai at this moment cannot imagine Nan Xuehu's death, and how could it be related to the young master of the Lu family?
Only Lin Rendong heard these words and his body trembled, remembering what he saw and heard that day.
Mrs. Zhong took a deep breath and asked tremblingly: "Young Master of the Lu family? Which young master?"
The red lion did not hesitate: "It's the third young master of the Lu family."
"Lu Jing!"
(Additional update chapter 8/25), I remembered it wrong yesterday. Yesterday was not the seventh chapter of the additional update, but the eighth chapter. Today is the ninth chapter of the additional update. However, it is a mistake and it is just a Mid-Autumn Festival update.
.
Also, it’s not because the author wants to break the chapter, but because it’s to attract hatred. It’s right here, and it’s exactly 12 o’clock, so... I’ll try to update as much as possible tomorrow, o(╥﹏╥)o
