After coming out of the prison, Chu Lu naturally felt more cordial when she saw the boy.
As soon as the boy saw Chu Lu coming out, he immediately went up to meet her. Seeing Chu Lu's embarrassed appearance, a trace of concern flashed in the boy's eyes. He quickly asked in a low voice: "Miss Chu, I have made you suffer. Are you okay in the prison? Mr. Lu asked me to pick you up. Our carriage is outside."
Chu Lu looked at the boy gratefully, and shook her head, "I'm fine, but if you come here a little later, I don't know if anything will happen. Thank you for your help, and thank you, Mr. Lu."
Hearing Chu Lu's thanks, Detective Wang immediately waved his hand, "There's no need to thank me. I'm actually just a worker."
The young man also said, "Girl, there is no need to thank me. I just came to rescue you according to the master's order. If you really want to thank me, just come with me to the carriage. You'd better go directly to thank my lord."
Hearing what the boy said, Chu Lu nodded.
After getting on the carriage, Chu Lu still had mixed emotions in her heart. This time in prison only made her deeply aware of the complexity of human nature and the difficulties of the world. But because Lu Zhizhang was there, she felt like she had some support.
However, after getting on the carriage, the boy didn't really take Chu Lu directly to Dali Temple.
He just took Chu Lu to a mansion.
When she arrived at the mansion, Chu Lu was a little surprised, but when she looked up and saw the Lu Mansion on the plaque, she understood that this was most likely Lu Zhizhang's mansion.
From the outside, Lu Zhizhang's mansion is still very grand, and the two stone lions at the door are even more lifelike.
When the guards at the door saw that the boy was back, they didn't say much. Although he brought a strange woman with him, because it was the boy who brought him here, they let him go directly.
Chu Lu originally thought that the inner room must also look like pavilions and pavilions, with groups of maids and servants.
I don't want to enter the inner room, but here is a very quiet garden.
There were not many maids and women in the garden, and she rarely even saw them when walking on the road. However, if the garden could be kept so tidy, she knew that these maids and servants were indispensable in cleaning it up.
The boy didn't say much, he just took Chu Lu directly to a side room.
"Girl, please rest here."
Hearing that the boy was just letting her rest but had no intention of letting her see Lu Zhizhang, Chu Lu immediately stood up and asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?"
Hearing this, the servant only whispered, "Miss Chu, your Excellency is still in Dali Temple, and he is still investigating a case! I'm afraid I don't have time to see you now, so why don't you wait at home."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lu became restless, "What should we do? Since your Excellency is not here, please let me go to Xin San Niang to report that I am safe. When Your Excellency comes back, I will come back to talk to You when I am free." thank."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Lu planned to get up and leave.
However, at this moment, the servant suddenly blocked Chu Lu's path. When Chu Lu looked at her in confusion, the servant only whispered, "Miss Chu, you can't leave now."
Chu Lu showed a surprised look, and then for some reason, she immediately looked at the boy warily and asked, "Why?"
When the young man saw that Chu was wary, he immediately explained, "Girl, don't be so nervous. I have absolutely no evil intentions. It's us adults who are worried about your safety. I specifically asked me to arrange you into the house, so girl, you can rest assured." We adults will never do anything to the girl. After all, there is an old lady living in this house. If you really had any evil intentions towards you, you would not be placed here."
Hearing the boy's explanation, Chu Lu breathed a sigh of relief. She believed the boy's explanation. More importantly, what she really believed in was Lu Zhizhang's character.
She said with an apologetic expression, "I was overly concerned just now, please don't blame me."
The boy just smiled considerately and said, "It's normal for a girl to be worried like this. I can understand it."
After that, the little boy comforted Chu Lu with kind words and told her that she could walk in the yard, but not to go out for the time being.
Si Bian also left Lu Mansion.
On the other side, Lu Zhizhang, after getting the boy's reply and knowing that Chu Lu had been arranged in the Lu Mansion, he just nodded.
The boy then asked in a low voice, "Miss Chu Lu seems to want to see you. I wonder if you would like to see Miss Chu Lu?"
However, Lu Zhizhang, who seemed to be very interested in Chu Lu, when he heard the young man's suggestion, he shook his head and said, "I still have an important case to deal with. If anything happens, let's talk about it later."
After the words fell, Lu Zhizhang stood up.
When the boy saw him getting up, he immediately asked, "Sir, where are we going now?"
Lu Zhizhang said concisely and concisely, "Go to the Zhou Mansion."
When he arrived at Zhou Mansion again, although the door of Zhou Mansion was still tightly closed, although the big tree in front of his house was still falling leaves, there were only a few fallen leaves on the ground. It was obvious that someone was still cleaning the place every day. .
Lu Zhizhang got off his horse and knocked on the brass ring on the door.
Hearing the sound of the copper ring, an old man's voice came from the room, "Who is it?"
Hearing the old man's voice, Lu Zhizhang immediately said, "Dali Temple Shaoqing Lu Zhizhang would like to see Miss Zhou Yaoniang. Please let me know."
After hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, the old man finally opened the door, but he did not invite Lu Zhizhang in.
He said with some regret, "Miss, I went to the Xiaochunshan Rouge Shop on Zhuque Street to do business this morning. I'm afraid I'm still in the shop and can't walk around. If you don't mind, you can go directly to the Rouge Shop to find Miss."
After hearing the old man's words, Lu Zhizhang nodded calmly.
After thanking his father-in-law, he got on his horse and headed towards Zhuque Street.
Xiaochunshan's business on Zhuque Street is booming. They have almost perfectly copied the business model of Wangliu Street. They even temporarily closed down because the main store on Wangliu Street was attacked. The business here seems to be much better than the business on the main street.
When Lu Zhizhang arrived at Xiaochunshan on Zhuque Street, the shop floor of Xiaochunshan was almost completely surrounded by water.
Lu Zhizhang did not enter the store immediately, but waited outside the store for a while.
He could see that Zhou Yaoniang was also selling rouge in this shop.
However, her expression was more open than before.
At this moment, her face was filled with a gentle smile, and her gentle and gentle appearance did not look like a being with great bitterness and hatred.
And her elegant and generous posture was even different from the timid and timid appearance before.
Seeing Zhou Yaoniang like this, Lu Zhizhang asked the boy to get into the crowd to find Zhou Yaoniang.
The young man Lu Zhizhang was quite flexible. Although there were many people in the crowd, the young man still got into the crowd and found Zhou Yaoniang very smoothly.
Zhou Yaoniang seemed to have listened to the boy's words. She looked up in surprise and looked at the crowd in front of her. Then after meeting Lu Zhizhang's eyes, Zhou Yaoniang immediately broke out into a bright smile.
After she said something to the boy, she separated from the crowd and walked out of Xiaochunshan's shop.
When she arrived at Lu Zhizhang's side, Zhou Yaoniang only said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, what do you want from me?"
When he saw Zhou Yaoniang, Lu Zhizhang did not immediately talk about business matters. He only asked with concern, "Why are you selling rouge in Xiaochun Mountain now?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, Zhou Yaoniang just smiled and said, "I invested in Chen's sister's business before. Now that she saw me in trouble, she invited me to become her partner. Now our store's business It was just right, we didn’t have enough manpower, so I came over to help.”
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's explanation, Lu Zhizhang just whispered, "That's it. Seeing that you can start a new life again makes me relieved."
When Zhou Yaoniang heard this, she still just smiled gently, "Mr. Lu, you definitely didn't come to me just to care about me, right?"
Lu Zhizhang nodded, "I'm here for two cases in your Zhou family and your grandmother's house. According to our investigation, these cases are likely to be
Made by the same person. "
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhou Yaoniang's expression immediately became serious.
However, she also knew that there were many talkative people in this busy city, so after a moment of silence, Zhou Yaoniang only said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, there are many talkative people here. Let's find a secluded place to talk about this case." "
Lu Zhizhang naturally agreed with Zhou Yaoniang's proposal.
Then the two of them walked to a nearby teahouse together.
This teahouse is relatively secluded and there are not many people.
After finding an inconspicuous corner and sitting down, Zhou Yaoniang asked directly, "Mr. Lu, you said that the two cases were committed by the same person. Do you have any suspects?"
After Lu Zhizhang pondered for a moment, he whispered, "There is no clear evidence pointing to anyone yet, but we have identified a suspect."
Zhou Yaoniang looked at Lu Zhizhang with sharp eyes, "Master Lu, you said the suspect is my husband?"
Lu Zhizhang saw that Zhou Yaoniang had guessed it, so he stopped trying to be pretentious. He nodded seriously, "Yes, your husband is very suspicious, and he may not be the husband you thought he was."
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhou Yaoniang asked in surprise.
Lu Zhizhang said calmly, "Do you still remember the day when you found a corpse hiding in an abandoned temple on the outskirts of Zhuque Street?"
Zhou Yaoniang's expression was obviously hesitant, but she still nodded.
Naturally, she remembered what happened at that time. There was thunder and lightning that day, which was not scary at all, but she found the body after that.
Just thinking about it made Zhou Yaoniang feel scared.
But she couldn't figure out how this matter had anything to do with her family's case.
Lu Zhizhang only said to Zhou Yaoniang, "After this, we found another unknown corpse. The corpse had no identification. We searched for information for a long time, and then we found out that the corpse was actually that of a man named Xu Tianyi." young people."
