Lu Zhizhang did not give an answer immediately. He seemed to be considering the pros and cons.
After a while, Lu Zhizhang finally said, "I can only guarantee that I will treat this matter as if it never happened. As for others, I cannot guarantee it."
The boy naturally understood the meaning of language games in Lu Zhizhang's words, but what could he do. He also has no weight that others can weigh.
So the boy said nothing more about it.
However, when he was about to leave, the boy still asked Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, are you going to ignore the case of Prison Leader Wang?"
Lu Zhizhang was stunned for a moment when asked, and then he replied in a low voice, "Of course I have to take care of it! But I have to close the case in hand first, so let's go find the criminal who assassinated Zhou Yaoniang first."
Seeing Lu Zhizhang's firm answer, the boy naturally just led the way.
The two of them were silent along the way. The young man led the way, and Lu Zhizhang followed silently behind him. After being identified by the young man, Lu Zhizhang soon arrived at Zhao Shuhai's courtyard.
Zhao Shuhai's villa is not big, located in a civilian alley on Zhuque Street.
And from the outside, this house is no different from other yards.
The waiter knocked on the door, and then a middle-aged man in the courtyard slowly opened the door.
After seeing that the person who came was Zhao Shuhai's boy, the man immediately said hello to him.
However, when he saw that the person coming behind him was not Zhao Shuhai, the man immediately became vigilant and looked at Lu Zhizhang cautiously.
Then he asked the young man in a low voice, "Brother, why did you bring outsiders here? This is where the young lady lives. You can't let the foreign man meet the young lady."
Hearing what the man said, the boy was dissatisfied and said, "Of course I understand, and you need to talk too much. I'm not here to see the young lady."
After hearing what the young man said, the man then asked in a low voice, "If you are not meeting the young lady, then who are you meeting?"
The boy said impatiently, "Of course we have to hand over the man who was imprisoned yesterday. Mr. Lu will try the case."
After hearing what the boy said, the middle-aged man looked like he suddenly realized it, but he still didn't move.
He first smiled and cupped hands with Lu Zhizhang and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Lu. How disrespectful. Unfortunately, our temple is small and there is a young lady in the house, so we can't welcome guests. I hope Mr. Lu will forgive me."
Lu Zhizhang did not expect to be treated well by the other party. After all, he and Zhao Shuhai were not only colleagues, but also rivals. Their relationship was not close, but it was not close.
Therefore, it is reasonable to be ignored by the other party.
What's more, he just wanted to conduct a business matter.
So he just held up his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. Lu is just waiting outside."
While Lu Zhizhang was waiting outside, the middle-aged man immediately pulled over the boy and said, "Brother, you have told the young master about this. Didn't this person say that if the young master doesn't come, he can't hand it over? Now we You changed your mind again, you just asked outsiders to come over to pick someone up, why did you let Lu Zhizhang come over to pick someone up?"
Faced with the middle-aged man's talkativeness, the waiter was very impatient, "You don't have to worry about this! If anything happens, it won't be your turn to blame.".Ь.
However, the man not only had no intention of letting her go, he only wanted to say that the young man became more and more impatient when he saw this. He could only whisper, "Are you the one who calls the shots in this yard or the young master? The young master is being raped by the man named Lu." Now that you have caught the clue, if you don't hand him over quickly, are you trying to kill the young master?"
Hearing what the boy said, the middle-aged man didn't dare to say anything more. He just whispered, "I'll go right away!"
The boy naturally said, "I'll go with you."
After saying this, the boy just said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, let's pick up someone first. You can wait at the door first."
Lu Zhizhang nodded naturally when he heard this.
And while he was standing at the door waiting, unexpectedly, a girl wearing a pink dress suddenly walked out of the room.
The girl walked out of the house carrying a small bucket filled with half a bucket of sewage.
out. .Ь.
She obviously didn't know there was a visitor outside the house when she struggled to carry the bucket and stepped out of the threshold.
She didn't see her feet clearly and almost fell down.
When Lu Zhizhang saw this, he naturally reached out to pick him up.
At that moment, the woman did not trip over the threshold with the help of Lu Zhizhang.
The woman raised her head and subconsciously wanted to say thank you.
However, as soon as the words came to her mouth, she realized that the visitor was actually a foreigner, and the woman's face instantly turned red.
Lu Zhizhang looked at the woman's face and was stunned for a long time.
Almond eyes, cherry lips, curved eyebrows and charming eyes.
At first glance, this appearance actually resembles that of Jin Princess Jiang Nianjiaosheng.
"Gillian?" he murmured.
While Lu Zhizhang was staring at this face in a daze, the woman stared at by such a handsome man like Lu Zhizhang only looked a little embarrassed, "Young Master? Young Master?"
Lu Zhizhang finally came to his senses and realized that he was somewhat rude at the moment. Lu Zhizhang immediately let go of the woman and apologized in a low voice, "The girl is very similar to an old friend of mine. It was me, Meng Lang, just now, please forgive me."
When the woman heard this, she just blushed and lowered her head in silence. There seemed to be some emotion flowing silently in the air.
However, although the two of them were silent, the woman was secretly looking at the young official in red official uniform in front of her from time to time. He was tall and graceful, just like a jade-faced statue in a temple.
Lu Zhizhang naturally caught the woman's gaze.
They were so similar that Lu Zhizhang couldn't bear to leave for a while.
Naturally, the woman didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward anymore. She just whispered, "Sir, are you from Dali Temple too?"
At this moment, Lu Zhizhang was obviously thinking the same thing. When the woman spoke, he only spoke at the same time as the woman, "Girl, what's your name?"
The two people's words collided, which was awkward at first. After a while, this awkwardness turned into each other's smiles.
Lu Zhizhang spoke first, "Girl, speak first."
Seeing Lu Zhizhang's courtesy, the woman was not polite. She smiled slightly and said, "The little girl's name is Chu Lu. She is... a maid from this other courtyard."
After hearing the woman introduce herself, Lu Zhizhang naturally raised her hand and said, "I am Lu Zhizhang, a colleague of your young master. I came here to complain because of an accident today."
The woman also smiled slightly when she heard this. She wanted to say a few more words to Lu Zhizhang, but she heard the housekeeper's voice coming from behind the yard.
The woman immediately panicked and supported the barrel and said, "Master Lu, I'm leaving first."
As soon as the words fell, the woman hurried into the house.
Lu Zhizhang naturally stopped talking after hearing this.
He silently watched Chu Lu enter the room.
Then the steward and the boy naturally came to the yard.
The steward felt a little strange when he saw Lu Zhizhang, who was outside the yard, suddenly standing in the yard.
When he saw a small puddle of water on the ground, he felt even more strange.
But he didn't say much.
Lu Zhizhang naturally saw the butler's demeanor, but he didn't think much about it.
"Butler, the plum blossoms in your courtyard have now bloomed, and they are blooming so beautifully. It seems that you have a master in caring for flowers and plants in your courtyard."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's praise, the butler just smiled and said, "Master Lu, you are exaggerating."
However, when the housekeeper said this, he only glanced into the room again, and then the boy came over and said, "Master Lu, this is the person you want to arrest."
After hearing what the boy said, Lu Zhizhang looked at the prisoner.
With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked like a vicious person at first glance.
He approached the person and asked "What's your name?"
The man obviously had no intention of resisting at all. He just said listlessly, "The villain's name is Chen Ke."
Hearing the name, Lu Zhizhang nodded. Considering that this was not a good place for trial after all, he just took Chen Ke and left.
After the man who looked like a housekeeper sent Lu Zhizhang and the servant away, he also locked the door of the small courtyard, and he quickly arrived in the inner room.
Naturally, as soon as he entered the house, he also saw the empty bucket.
The woman in the pink dress in the inner room looked at the housekeeper with a look of fear on her face.
"Did you go out just now?" the housekeeper immediately asked coldly.
The woman just pulled the handkerchief and shook her head timidly.
However, how could the butler believe what the other party said? After the woman finished speaking, the butler immediately slapped the table hard.
"Who are you fooling? Who else could have caused the water on the floor tiles outside if it wasn't you?"
After being scolded, the woman stopped talking.
But the butler kept chattering.
"You idiot, how many times have I told you that there are differences between men and women. You should not show your face in front of others casually. If it is not necessary, you should not go out casually, let alone show your face in front of outside men. How many times have I told you? , your face is a trouble-making existence, why don’t you understand. If you think too much, you know that the young master is hiding his beauty, and he is hiding such a face, do you know how much trouble this will cause the young master? "
After the woman was reprimanded, she still did not speak.
The housekeeper then whispered, "Chu Lu, you don't still think that the young master is hurting you by hiding you here, right? I can tell you, if the young master can't get good things, you won't get any good either. You If you are discovered, you won’t be able to live in this yard. You can’t live here, and you don’t even have a household registration. If you are born like this, you should understand what will happen to you.”
When Chu Lu heard the housekeeper's words, she only showed a painful expression on her face. She remembered the things she encountered when she first arrived.
Obviously, although this kind of life was not what she wanted, it was still much better than before, so after a moment, she nodded silently.
"I know, I didn't go out on purpose, I just thought there was no one. And I didn't tell the other person who I was. I just said I was a maid in this courtyard." Chu Lu explained in a low voice after hearing this.
Hearing Chu Lu's words, the steward nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you know, your face is really harmful to the country and the people. I won't let you go out or let outsiders see it. It's actually for your own good."
