Chapter 806 Murderer
It is a boy named Luo Wu in Lu Jingyan's courtyard.
This servant is not a personal servant. He mostly does some chores outside the house on weekdays.
According to Luo Wu's account, because he did something wrong, he was fined ten days of monthly silver by the steward, and Lu Jingyan did not stop him at the time, so he held a grudge in his heart.
At home, my mother was seriously ill and my younger brother wanted to get a wife, so I was looking for some money-making jobs to supplement the family income.
By coincidence, when I was running errands that day to deliver messages, I met the son of Lu Qishun’s family, Lu Jingsheng...
Lu Jingsheng gave him one hundred taels of silver and some medicinal powder, and asked him to quietly put it into Lu Jingyan's food every day.
Luo Wu usually did some work of boiling water and making tea, so he secretly poisoned Lu Jingyan according to what Lu Jingsheng said.
After everything was explained, Lu Wenqing turned pale with anger and immediately had Luo Wuxian **** and sent to the Yamen at dawn.
After finishing all this work, the sky in the east has already revealed a bit of fish belly white.
Lu Jingyan hadn't woken up yet, but Doctor Qin came to check his pulse and said he was in good condition. He just needed to take the medicine as Xie Guangbai said.
Lu Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about how to tell Lu Jingyan about Xie Guangbai's request when he woke up, Lu Wenqing asked people to prepare breakfast and prepare some exquisite and delicious meals to entertain Xie Guangbai and Dr. Qin.
Just a boy came to report that the guest room where Xie Guangbai lived was empty and that the person had disappeared.
After searching the house to no avail, and Doctor Qin said that Xie Guangbai had always been like this and there was no need to worry too much, Lu Wenqing felt relieved and went to take care of Lu Jingyan who had woken up.
When Su Mulan got up, Bai Shitang had almost prepared breakfast.
Egg pancakes, cold cabbage heart and tofu skin, spinach vermicelli, plus soft and glutinous sweet potato rice porridge.
Sumulan put the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root on the stove to warm.
I made a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root, part of which was taken out for the children to eat in the morning, and the other half was packed so that Wan Xinyue could deliver it to the Lu family later.
Wan Xinyue got up a little late in the morning. At this moment, he finished his breakfast like a whirlwind, wiped his mouth, picked up the food box and left.
“Be careful on the road.” Su Mulan warned.
“Fourth Aunt, don’t worry.” Wan Xinyue grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
Then he tied his cloak, picked up the food box, turned over and got on the horse.
With his legs clamped around the horse's belly, Wan Xinyue was ready to gallop.
She just let her pinch the horse's belly again and again, and even flicked the whip twice in her hand, but the horse just stood there and spun around, not moving forward at all.
Seeing that Wan Xinyue was so anxious, she only swung the reins, and the horse even neighed twice.
"What's wrong with this horse? Is it sick?" Seeing this, Su Mulan put down the bowl and chopsticks with some curiosity.
"It's also very rare. Such a good person just won't leave." Wan Xinyue also frowned, and simply jumped off the horse, pulling the reins to pull the horse out.
The horse's head turned white in resistance, and its hooves even plowed back.
Bai Shitang looked around for a while, and finally stood up straight and said loudly, "Third brother, since you are a guest, don't hide yourself. Come out quickly."
It was quiet all around, and the only sound that responded to Baishitang was the chirping of sparrows that were still jumping around on the branches in winter.
“Then I’ll stop talking about my ugly words. If you don’t come out, I won’t be a beggar for you anymore…”
“Don’t mention it, beggar chicken still has to do it.”
