"Somebody come!"
"Bring all the mugwort and surround her!"
In an instant, thick smoke surrounded the general's concubine.
At this time, Lu Yun's sharp eyes discovered that there were a lot of small bugs coming out of the child's nose, ears, and mouth. They were so densely packed that it made people's scalp numb and was very scary.
Even Shangguan Yan was shocked.
"What did you do to my brother!"
"How come there are so many Gu worms in his body!"
At this moment, the woman was completely panicked, and she wanted to die.
The truth is now revealed. The person who caused the poison is the concubine of the general in front of him.
Lu Yun said in a cold tone, "In order to cover up others' eyes, you put your child in a dangerous situation."
"You actually sent all the poisonous insects into your child's body."
Shangguan Yan was also very angry and quickly snatched away his infant brother, "Auntie, why did you want to harm my father?"
"My father married you into our family. That's your blessing. And you also gave birth to a child, right?"
"You don't even spare your own child!"
Just as he was talking, General Shangguan Yun also ran over eagerly. He asked tremblingly, "Xiaoyue, what have you done?"
"Why do you want to kill the child?"
Xiaoyue, who was the general's concubine, collapsed on the ground with tears in her eyes, "Master, I didn't want to harm our child!"
"I was just afraid of being discovered, so that's why I did it."
"Our child will be fine. I just put the worms into his body and I will drive them out when the time comes."
"Master, I'm sorry."
Shangguan Yun took a deep breath, looking a little sad, and looked much older in an instant.
"Why! Are you someone sent by Xiao He? You want to murder me!"
Lu Yun rolled his eyes when he heard this. At this point, do you still think General Xiao He wants to harm you?
Don’t know how to turn your head?
Xiaoyue said quietly: "Master, I don't want to lie to you. In fact, I want to say that it was indeed General Xiao He who harmed you."
"But actually, it's not!"
"Master, I'm sorry, I can't say."
After saying that, Xiaoyue took out a small pill from her arms and wanted to swallow it directly.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Yun rushed over and snatched the pill away, "Do you want to die?"
"Can you die?"
"Come here, take her to me!"
"yes!"
Although the truth of the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, the misunderstanding has been eliminated.
The poison in the general's body was not caused by Xiao He, so hopefully things can be settled.
However, the assassination of General Xiao He may not be solved just like that.
Lu Yun sighed. Now, the biggest breakthrough lies with this Xiaoyue woman.
If she kept her mouth shut, nothing would really be found out, but if we could get some information out of her mouth.
That's great too.
Lu Yun thought of this and said earnestly to Shangguan Yun, "General, we have taken your concubine away, so no matter what kind of heavy punishment you receive in the future, you must not be soft-hearted."
"how do you feel?"
Shangguan Yun was stunned for a moment, a little reluctant to give up, especially when he thought of Xiaoyue's tearful look just now, and sighed: "Eunuch Lu, this matter is of great concern."
"But I believe Xiaoyue must have been forced, or someone was instigating her behind her back."
"I will be with you during the interrogation. If she tells her, can she say something nice in front of His Majesty?"
"She is my child's mother after all."
Lu Yun really didn't know what to say, he was so big-hearted, wasn't he afraid that his concubine would harm him again?
"OK."
Lu Yun sent a person to quickly tell the emperor what happened here, which also made him feel a little more at ease.
…
royal palace.
Above the main hall, Liang Jing was sitting on the dragon chair, handling political affairs when he received news from Lu Yun.
"What!"
"Have you found out? The poison on the general was not caused by General Xiao He, but by his concubine?"
"Okay, okay, Lu Yun is pretty good. He found it so quickly."
"Go down and tell Lu Yun and the general that if they can find the person behind it, let them do whatever they want."
In the palace where Concubine Shu is located.
Xiao Mei was lying on the bed, looking very lazy. Three hours after meeting His Majesty that day, she still hasn't regained her strength and her back is sore.
On the other hand, Your Majesty, why are you always so lively?
Shouldn't he be more tired than himself?
"Mother, there is news from outside the palace that Eunuch Lu has found the murderer who persecuted General Shangguan, and it is not General Xiao!" the maid Qiaoer said excitedly.
"What!"
Xiao Mei sat up from the bed in a flash, "So fast?"
"Eunuch Lu is really amazing. He cleared my brother's wrongdoing so quickly."
"Brother, does he know?"
Qiaoer quickly said: "I don't know, I must have received the news."
"good!"
…
Go to the capital.
Jingzhao Mansion Prison!
After sending Xiaoyue to prison, Lu Yun also met the governor of Jingzhao Mansion.
This person was wearing an official robe and an official hat that was a little crooked, and he said with a flattering expression.
"Cui Yong, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, has met Eunuch Lu."
"Eunuch Lu is truly a god. He found out the real culprit behind the scenes so quickly, which really puts us to shame."
Lu Yun replied with a smile, "It's all thanks to His Majesty's blessing."
"Master Cui, your Jingzhao Mansion is really useless. Has the murderer of Master Xiao been found?"
Cui Yong shook his head in embarrassment, "Eunuch Lu, how can we not be as good as you? It's really hard to find one."
"The assassin's body is now lying in the prison cell of Jingzhao Mansion."
"General Xiao He also sent the piece of evidence to me. However, this matter is related to the reputation of the general, so I have to be cautious."
"..."
"Have you found your identity?"
"I found out that this person is a clerk from a brothel in Kyoto. His name is Zhang Yang."
"We also asked people to inquire, and no one noticed him at all on weekdays, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work."
"After he disappeared yesterday, no one cared about him. If his identity hadn't been found, I'm afraid no one in the brothel would have discovered it."
"Oh? Brothel!" Lu Yun's eyes lit up.
As a time traveler, I have always been full of mystery about places like brothels.
Now that you have traveled through time, why not appreciate it?
"Yes, Eunuch Lu."
"Lead the way! I want to take a look."
Cui Yong looked confused, what's going on? Isn't he a father-in-law? Isn't there such a thing?
Why does he seem so excited when he mentions the brothel?
Without thinking much, he had no choice but to lead the way for Lu Yun. As for Xiaoyue who was imprisoned, he asked Shangguan Yun to comfort her.
As long as the person behind the scenes can be identified, everything can be solved.
