Chapter 99: Clue
When Su Mu returned to Andinghou's Mansion, the sky had already darkened. Even though it was cold and windy at night when it just snowed, his face was still a little hot.
——was rubbed.
The ointment really worked quickly when it was applied, but it was really difficult to remove it. Even though he could feel that Liu Xiaoran had shown mercy to his face, he still couldn't help but feel hot.
And when the marks on his face were finally faded away, he found that the marks on Liu Xiaoran's face had faded a lot, and if he didn't look carefully, he would hardly be able to find them.
"Can this ointment disappear by itself?" He made a doubtful voice.
"Of course, it will lose its effect after a long time." Although Liu Xiaoran's voice was still very calm, Su Mu saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Xiaoran, you have changed!
You are no longer that upright and upright Dali Temple Shaoqing who walks with a breeze!
You can bluff people, and do so seriously.
Seeing that the smile on the corner of her mouth was about to be uncontrollable, Liu Xiaoran coughed twice before trying to cover it up, and replied calmly: "Just now, you seem to be in a hurry to go home, so I thought about using potion to relieve your pain."It fades faster, I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
You must have laughed out loud just now, right?
The disbelief in Su Mu's eyes gradually turned into the firmness of a gentleman who can't wait for tomorrow's revenge. Before he could even understand it, he stretched out his cold hand to put Liu Xiaoran's face on, and pinched it hard.a handful.
And now, an hour later, the young master of Anding Hou Mansion is standing at the door of his house, reflecting on what he did just now.
Childish, really too childish.
He no longer dared to recall the scene at that time, but that scene floated into his mind from time to time to create a sense of existence.
There seemed to be a trace of Liu Xiaoran's warmth in his fingertips, so he couldn't help rubbing his fingertips.
Unexpectedly, looking at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was like Bingshan, his face was soft.
The feel is still very good.
The idea became more and more weird, so that he had to shake his head to get rid of these messy things. When he finally calmed down, when he looked up, he saw that he was going to come down from the roof but stopped for some reasonThe ink book of action.
"No, I really don't know why." Su Mu tried to convince himself.
Even though he witnessed the stupidity of his own little Marquis, Mo Shu was very understanding and didn't ask why, but obediently jumped off the roof as if nothing happened.
When Su Mu saw Mo Shu, he couldn't help thinking of the dusty past, and resisted the urge to sigh. Although he had a clue now, he couldn't tell Mo Shu.
If Mo Shu knew that his father's defeat was taking the blame for those officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, he might have done something impulsive.Ruined.
The law doesn't care if you kill a good person or not, just think about things like assassinating court officials.
Looking at Mo Shu, he seemed to want to ask, but suffered from being unable to open his mouth, so Su Mu preemptively stopped him: "I'm really tired today, I'm going to rest first, Mo Shu and you too, hurry up and go to rest.”
Immediately afterwards, he closed the door very quickly, and realized belatedly that he had just come back and hadn't had time to eat—but all the words have been said, isn't it a bit... a bit embarrassing to go out now?
He moved lightly to the door, listened carefully to the commotion outside, opened another crack, and after confirming that there seemed to be no one standing outside the door, he quickly opened the door and planned to slip away without anyone noticing.Go out, and just as he took a step, he caught a glimpse of the ink book standing aside for a long time.
"Hey, Mo Shu, you haven't rested yet." He pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Oh, at this hour, it seems that we should have dinner first, so let's—"
Mo Shu sighed, shook his head, then lowered his head and bowed slightly. Su Mu also knew that this was the appearance of him having something to say, so he couldn't pretend to be blind at this meeting, so he could only stretch out his hand, half-closed his eyes and began to think about nonsense.
"If you don't want to tell me, son, I won't ask, please rest assured."
Su Mu froze for a moment, looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a burst of unspeakable emotions.
He was originally the only son of the general's mansion, and he must have been a beloved young man when He Lang was proud of the spring breeze. Now he has not only lost the ability to speak, but also can only be a guard in other people's homes.He is the only one who knows about the warmth and sadness of it, it is really——
His heart to find out the truth became more determined.
Behind these truths lies Mo Shu's supposedly peaceful and happy life.
In Dali Temple, Lu Lingjue, who spent two days shopping, eating and drinking for business reasons, finally reluctantly said goodbye to his happy fishing days, and was reporting to Liu Xiaoran the clues he had found in the past few days.
"My lord, I'm really not kidding. I told you that I sacrificed my appearance to find out about things from those sisters. Do you think... can you give me a little salary increase?"
Liu Xiaoran flipped through the case file in her hand and didn't say anything, she just raised her eyes and looked at Lu Lingjue lightly, and the latter ended the topic consciously.
"I'm just kidding, just kidding."
"Say." Liu Xiaoran lowered her head again and turned a page.
"It's like this. When I went to the Xiying Pavilion, a sister Chunying told me that she had heard an adult mention it. It seems that she got many lovely girls from somewhere and raised them at home.For this reason, I was reprimanded by many wives, and now I felt aggrieved and ran out to have a good time."
Lu Lingjue lifted the hem of her clothes, squatted down without any regard for her appearance, and then said while lying on the table: "Besides, Sister Chunying told me that the man said that he bought this girl with his own ability.If this is a piece of trash, no one has sent it to the door, saying that his wife doesn't know how to cherish it. For a person as accomplished as him, it doesn't matter even if he has three wives and four concubines, let alone just a few more housemates.my maid."
Qi Hao, who was working overtime to investigate the case file, laughed when he heard the words: "You have learned quite well, do you plan to—"
"What are you talking about, let's not mention that I am still a young man compared to you, hey, even if I have a family in the future, it must be a relationship between two people, a couple for life, how can I be like you,Mr. Qi, you are a promiscuous person every day, whoever marries you will be angry with you."
"You've been out for a while, and your lips are getting more and more slippery. It seems that you have gained a lot of knowledge?"
"That's what you started with, didn't you—"
As soon as Lu Lingjue turned her head, she met Liu Xiaoran's frowning expression, she closed her mouth immediately, stepped aside obediently, pushed Qi Hao out of the way forcefully, and occupied his soft cushion.
If these girls were the ones who were kidnapped and sold, they were actually sent to the official's house. Could it be that they were used as some kind of treasure to achieve their own goals?
In this officialdom, money, status and beauty are often the most deceptive, but there are not a few missing girls, if it is really what I think——
Most of that was for the purpose of forming a party for personal gain, and there is only one person in the court who most urgently needs to win people's hearts.
He sighed lowly, even though he had been mentally prepared before, but when everything began to gradually become clear, the disappointment became more and more intense.
"You guys go first, I will check the rest of the case file myself." He nodded towards the two who were secretly competing.
"Don't you really need us to help you, sir?" Lu Lingjue realized after a long time that she still had a conscience.
"If you want to stay, of course you can." Liu Xiaoran lowered her head again.
"Since this is the case, my lord must be confident, then we will not disturb you!" Lu Lingjue picked up Qi Hao who was also hesitating, and immediately trotted out without looking back, "Then lord, pay attention to rest and we will withdraw first!"
——Conscience is there, but not many.
Liu Xiaoran is used to this kind of behavior, so she doesn't care much about it. Zhang Yu has been an official for decades, and it is not easy to find the files related to him in such a long time.He was prepared to stay up all night, but he didn't intend to drag others into his sinking.
Qi Hao and Lu Lingjue didn't even know why he wanted to check Zhang Yu's past.
Candles were lit all night.
When Su Mu arrived at Dali Temple the next day, he happened to run into Lu Lingjue who was yawning.
"Yu Zhi, long time no see, are you here to see your lord?"
It hasn't been a long time.
Su Mu smiled and nodded, and the next moment Lu Lingjue reached out and hooked his shoulder.
"Then what are you doing standing here, go, go in."
The two people at the door seemed to want to stop them, Lu Lingjue confronted immediately: "For those who Mr. Liu doesn't stop, you just leave it alone, just open your eyes and close your eyes to make it easier. Let's go, I'll take you to find Mr. Liu."
The two looked hesitant, but Lu Lingjue couldn't wait any longer, and walked in with Su Mu, ignoring the guard's eyes.
He smoothly put the biscuits he had hidden in his pocket into his mouth, and said to Su Mu vaguely: "Well, my lord should be in that room. If he is in that room, it means that he didn't leave yesterday."Go back to sleep, hold me back for a while, let me eat a cake."
After he finished speaking, he patted Su Mu on the shoulder and narrowed his closed eyes: "Go, I won't go there."
Su Mu was also dizzy by his coherent movements, and entered the Dali Temple inexplicably. Facing the majestic building, he was speechless for a moment.
Is it so easy to enter Dali Temple?
