32. Chapter 32(1/2)
After listening to the Lu family, Cui Buqu looked thoughtful.
When Qiao Xian saw his expression, he knew that he was very interested in this matter: "Do you want to ask about the Lu family?"
Cui Buqu: "This is a good opportunity to let Jie Jian Mansion divide the credit."
Qiao Xian didn't expect that he had not given up interfering in the murder case of the envoy of Khotan, and couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
"But Fengxiao is not a good match."
Cui Buqu: "I don't need to ask about it on my own initiative. Compared to the Lu family, Qin Miaoyu, the suspect who might have escaped with Tianchi Yuqi. He is busy searching for Qin Miaoyu in the city. He must not have time to take care of the Lu family. Fengxiao knew that Pei Jingzhe's ability was not enough to solve the Lu family's affairs, and Pei Jingzhe would definitely come to him."
After saying this, he had a big appetite. Not only did he finish the chicken soup, he also ate a whole bowl of Yangchun noodles.
As soon as I put down the bowl, I heard the news of Pei Jingzhe’s visit.
Qiao Xian couldn't help but admire: "The envoy is really a plan!"
"Fengxiao is a man who can bend and stretch. He is a hero. And than Zuo Yuejiu's tripping him, for him, finding out the case and retrieving his jade gall is more important." Speaking of this, Cui Buqu was a little confused, "Why did the taste of that side just now be the same as what I ate at Zuo Yuejiu?"
Qiao Xian smiled brightly: "Is that delicious, or not delicious?"
Outsiders only saw her as cold as ice and difficult to get close to her, and they almost never had the chance to see her such gentle and kind side.
Cui Buqu: "Of course it's delicious, I'm only used to eating the Yangchun noodles from Zuo Yueju."
Changsun: "Made by Qiao Xian."
Cui Buqun rarely showed surprise: "When did you learn to cook?"
Qiao Xian: "I learned it with the cook before I came out, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to eating outside. Who knows you still..."
Thinking of the pain Cui Bulu suffered in the past few days, she had the urge to kill Feng Xiao.
"I was voluntarily captured by him, and I was expected to suffer some injuries." Cui Buqi said lightly.
He rarely explains his intention to do things to others, but just as Qiao Xian is loyal to him, he is always willing to explain a few more words to Qiao Xian.
While speaking, Pei Jingzhe had been led in by his servants.
Seeing Qiao Xian facing him coldly and glaring at him fiercely, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Good Cui Lang, Jun." Pei Jingzhe bowed. He had naturally learned Cui Buqu's identity from Feng Xiao. Thinking about the experience of the other party in their hands these days, he would inevitably feel a little weak in his energy.
"Where is the gift?" Choi Bu went to reach out to him.
"What?" Pei Jingzhe was stunned.
Cui Buqu said lazily: "If you ask others for help, are you empty-handed? This is the etiquette of your Jian Jian Mansion?"
How do you know I have something to ask for? I swallowed it back when I said something. Pei Jingzhe smiled and said, "Look at what you said, our husband knows that you are in poor health. After such a tossing, he must have to rest in bed, so I came here to visit today. I have handed the gift to the servants of your mansion."
When Qiao Xian and Changsun came to Liugong City, they bought a small courtyard in the city and used two or three deaf and dumb people as servants. Different from Zixia Temple and Wuweifang, it is more hidden and quiet and can be used as a place to recuperate.
However, after Feng Xiao guessed the identity of Zuo Yueji, Cui Buqun could naturally guess this house with his opponent's ability. As well as the popular restaurant "Wuweifang" in the city, they are one of the strongholds of Zuo Yueji.
"I'm tired, let's see you off." Cui Bugu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he lay down again and turned his back to him.
Pei Jingzhe was about to step forward again, and Changsun Bodhi had already straddled his legs and stopped him.
"I really have something to ask for," Pei Jingzhe said the truth with a tough head.
Qiao Xian said coldly: "Do you have something to ask for, or Feng Xiao have something to ask for?"
Pei Jingzhe: "Is there any difference?"
Qiao Xian: "The difference is so big."
The implication is that Pei Jingzhe is nothing. If Feng Xiao hadn't asked him to come, he would have been kicked out on the spot.
Pei Jingzhe complained secretly. He found that he was like a sheep entering a wolf pack, with no resistance. No wonder Feng Xiao asked him to say something before he came here, so there was no need to hide it. I thought he had known that he was no match for Zuo Yueji and others.
Thinking of this, he was a little dissatisfied and had to say, "To be honest, it was the husband who asked me to come."
Cui Bugu didn't even turn around to see him, and still lie down on his side, not moving.
Pei Jingzhe had no choice but to continue, "My husband wants to ask Cui Langjun to intervene in investigating the Lu family and find Qin Miaoyu's accomplices."
Cui Bulu: "So, what about the gift?"
Pei Jingzhe suddenly realized that he knew what the gift he said meant.
If you want others, you will naturally have to pay the corresponding price.
"My husband said that he would like to share the merits with you. After this matter, he will submit a memorial to express his support from Zuo Yue Bureau this time and ask for merits from the emperor."
Of course, Feng Xiao’s original words were not so polite. At that time, the second master of Feng’s mansion crossed his legs and said in a silence: Do I look like someone who will suffer a loss? Now I have given him the credit, and I will definitely find it back on him in the future. Just go. If he speaks loudly, I will ask him to pay it back several times in the future.
No matter how you sound, it seems like you are quarreling, so Pei Jingzhe had to polish his words a little.
Cui Buguqi smiled: "He will never say such things. He will only say to you, see what conditions Cui Buguqi wants before he will take action. If he is greedy, I will definitely ask him to repay it several times in the future."
Pei Jingzhe's mouth twitched, thinking that you really understand each other.
Cui Bulu: "It's okay to help, I have another condition. I want the head on the neck of the Buddha's ear."
Pei Jingzhe: "This..."
Cui Bugu: "If you don't agree, there will be no negotiations for cooperation, and you can leave."
Pei Jingzhe hurriedly said, "Let's mind be calm, please don't be impatient, I will agree to my husband!"
The Lu family's case is imminent. Not to mention that Lu Ti has written to bring reinforcements, it is not a long-term solution to surround Lu's house. In order to avoid the long night and dreams, the faster the problem is, the better.
Cui Bugu then turned over and sat up, Shi Shiran was standing in bed and putting on his shoes.
"Agree earlier, why should I lie in bed and accumulate food as soon as I eat enough?"
Pei Jingzhe's mouth twitched: "It's all the fault!"
He took Cui Bulu and others to Lu's house. Along the way, Pei Jingzhe thought he had no trace of observing Qiao Xian, but he attracted the latter's cold eyes, so he had to take back his eyes and change the secret observation to openly inquire.
"Cui Langjun, I wonder what this girl is called?"
Cui Buqun looked so beautiful: "Are you interested in it or do you ask Fengxiao for inquiries?"
Pei Jingzhe said aloud: "What's the difference?"
Cui Bugu: "If you are interested, ask her by yourself. If Feng Xiao wants to know..."
Pei Jingzhe was still waiting for him to say the following, but he didn't know that the other party's words changed.
"Then I won't say anything."
Pei Jingzhe:...
He found out that the Zuo Yue Bureau was not friendly to him from top to bottom.
But who made his husband ruthlessly? He gave him a bad reputation as soon as he came up? Pei Jingzheyuan still thought that Zuo Yue Bureau and Jie Jian Mansion were not outsiders, and this cooperation would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. But now it seems that once this beam is formed, it will be difficult to untie it.
The Lu family was shrouded in a thick layer of sorrow.
Luti died of her precious daughter. She was already heartbroken, but the house was surrounded by people. This grief brought a little anger.
Fengxiao's eagle rider was not enough, so he temporarily recruited personnel from the Zhao County Magistrate. However, he was unwilling to say anything. He did not want to offend Lu Ti, but Fengxiao's order could not be disobeyed. Both sides were in a dilemma, so he had to pinch his nose and let the county magistrate Liu Lin follow suit, and ordered Liu Lin to go out in private.
In order to organize the funeral of Miss Lu, the Lu family must buy funeral items. Liu Lin was ordered to bring people around Lu's house. After being ordered by the Magistrate Zhao, he turned a blind eye when he saw the Lu family leave from behind. Unexpectedly, this scene happened to be hit by Cui Bulu Pei Jingzhe and his party.
"Stop! Who asked you to come out?" Pei Jingzhe was shocked and angry, and stepped forward to stop them.
The head Butler Lu suppressed his grief and pleaded: "My little lady is dead. We have to hold a funeral. We can't let her not even have a place to sit. Please give it a mercy!"
Pei Jingzhe: "What do you want? I'll just ask Liu Lin to send someone to buy it, but no one from the Lu family is allowed to come out!"
Butler Lu finally couldn't help but said furiously: "You are too bullying people! The dead are the most important. Our young lady suffered this disaster before she got married. The mistress wanted to make it lively for the young lady to avoid her leaving lonely. She wanted the best items. If you let outsiders buy them, how could you do your best? You are so crazy that you don't even let the dead go?!"
"It's not us who don't let the dead go, but you are yourself." Cui Bulu said coldly, pointing to the maid behind Butler Lu, who had been hanging his head. "The man dressed in a woman and took him down."
Pei Jingzhe was still stunned, but Qiao Xian and Changsun Bodi executed without hesitation. Almost as soon as Cui Wu finished speaking, they had already plundered out and directly grabbed the tall maid.
The maid had to look up. Pei Jingzhe felt familiar at first glance, and then immediately recognized that this person was Lu Xiaozi's cousin, Su Xing, who might have been recruited into the Lu family.
But then again, Su Xing was already pretty and this time he followed Butler Lu and was hiding among several tall servants. It wouldn't seem very abrupt when he looked at it. If he hadn't happened to be caught by them and was drunk by Cui Buqu, the other party would have been fooled by this.
Pei Jingzhe: "Wake up?"
Su Xing was not panicked when he was discovered. He said lightly: "I met my cousin. What she likes and hates? Even my aunt and uncle may not know. I will come out with the butler and buy some things she likes so that she won't be lonely when she is underneath. Isn't this possible?"
His eyes were red, his cheeks were thinner, his chin was covered with a blue stubble, and there was only the calmness after the pain left his face. No one could say that he was cold-blooded and ruthless when he saw such a face. Instead, he would sigh that the two of them were destined to be separated and that yin and yang were separated.
Pei Jingzhe: "Then why do you want to pretend to be a woman?"
Su Xing: "Although my cousin had a long time ago, I have not been married yet. If I had bought something for her under the name of the Lu family, wouldn't it be devastated if it spreads out? My cousin came cleanly and should have left cleanly."
Cui Bu went to see him for a moment and said to Butler Lu: "This matter may be finalized today. I will let you disperse and give you freedom. I have a fate with your Lu family. Let me go in and sing a stick of incense in front of your little lady's spirit."
Butler Lu knew Cui Buqu. At that time, Zixia Temple was in full bloom, and the medical skills of the master spread throughout the city. The mistress of the Lu family also received benefits.
He sighed, reached out and pointed his hand back: "Please."
The Lu family has three generations living together. Luti has an old mother who is alive. Before the New Year, she ordered people to make a coffin and place it in a cellar for use a hundred years. This is also a local custom. Unexpectedly, by chance, the old mother was useless, but Lady Lu lay inside.
Although the coffin is ready-made, the spirit cards and candle white banners are lacking. This is also the reason why Butler Lu bribed Liu Lin and wanted to go out to buy it secretly.
When Liu Lin saw Pei Jingzhe and the others coming in with Butler Lu, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, for fear that Pei Jingzhe would hold him accountable.
