Chapter 187 I am willing to be the bait
Fu Qingyin looked at Yu Shengsheng leisurely.
See what she chooses.
How can a person who can't even protect himself protect others?
What's more, the fifth young lady of the Lu family needs her protection?
Yu Shengsheng bowed to Fu Qingyin and said, "Commander, may I have a word with you?"
Fu Qingyin didn't say anything or express his opinion. He just turned and walked out.
Yu Shengsheng followed and closed the door.
Yu Shengsheng glanced at Hei Bai and asked, "Can I see that person's body?"
Look at Fu Qingyin in black and white.
Fu Qingyin nodded.
The body of the man in black was exactly the same as when he was brought back last night.
Yu Shengsheng did not perform an autopsy, he just leaned over and smelled it.
"Commander, if I remember correctly, you said before that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you wanted me to go to the temple with you?"
Fu Qingyin nodded: "Not bad."
"But what case has occurred that is related to the temple?"
Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why do you think so?"
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and smiled: "The commander holds a heavy sword in his hand, standing in the court, suppressing all officials with absolute force and power. He can't be a Buddhist."
"The fact that you were allowed to go to the temple must be related to the case. The case that the Zhenqiao Tower is targeting must not be a small one."
"Just a wild guess."
Fu Qingyin's eyes flickered: "Go on."
"I have a plan," Yu Shengsheng said, "If Miss Lu wants to stay for a while, let her stay and ask the Lu family to cooperate and continue the search."
She looked down at the corpse and said, "There is Buddhist incense on this person, so he must be related to the temple. If he doesn't come back, and the Lu family is looking for someone, it will definitely alarm the person behind the scenes."
“Sometimes, alerting the enemy is not necessarily a bad thing.”
Fu Qingyin smiled and said, "That makes some sense. However, Miss Lu Wu is of noble status after all, and there can be no mistakes. If I want to solve this case, I need someone as bait."
Yu Shengsheng felt a stab in the heart, but soon recovered.
Lu Xingyue is indeed of noble status, but even if she is given the title of princess, how many people would look up to her?
In comparison, anyone would abandon her.
Yu Shengsheng smiled calmly: "I am willing to be the bait. Whether Miss Lu Wu is here or not, the commander wants me to be the bait, right?"
"I come from a humble background and have no ties, so this is just right for me," Yu Shengsheng saluted again, "The commander has helped me many times, which is already a great favor. It is only natural to repay the favor."
"It is my honor to add to the commander's list of merits."
All around was quiet.
Both black and white held their breath.
Golden Leopard also opened his eyes wide.
The only trace of smile on Fu Qingyin's face had long since disappeared, and his expression was indistinguishable from joy or anger.
His eyes swept across Yu Shengsheng's hair. That jade hairpin... really suits her.
Fu Qingyin retracted his gaze and said in a cold voice: "I think it is feasible, but this person must live."
Yu Shengsheng was stunned, suspecting that she had heard it wrong - the dead can be resurrected?
"You're right. Alerting the enemy may not be a bad thing, but now is not the time to alarm them."
Fu Qingyin tilted his head to look at Hei Bai: "Do you have anything to say about what happened last night?"
Hei Bai lowered his head: "No."
"In that case, I'll punish you..." Fu Qingyin paused, "Stand upside down for one hour and hold a thousand vats on your head."
"Yes." Hei Bai turned and left.
Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Call Wuchang."
Soon, impermanence came.
"Master, you called me? What do you want me to do?"
Fu Qingyin gathered his sleeves and said, "The princess has a plan. Find a secret guard and disguise him as this person. Also..."
He paused and looked at Wuchang: "Dress up as a woman and look prettier."
Wuchang: “???”
"No, Master, I..."
"Hei Bai secretly added wine to peach juice and has been punished by me. If you don't go, I will go?"
"Master, I can find someone, I..."
Fu Qingyin remained silent, his face slightly gloomy. Wuchang swallowed the rest of his words, left with a bitter face and a crying voice.
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips to hold back her laughter: "The commander saw through it?"
It's obvious that these two people have switched.
Fu Qingyin snorted softly.
Hao Mengye walked over quickly: "Commander, Lu Xingyao is here."
"And brought a lot of gifts."
Fu Qingyin glanced at Yu Shengsheng and said, "Since you want Lu Xingyue to stay, go and convince him."
Yu Shengsheng choked and wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered Concubine Shu’s words and nodded.
Forget it. Once someone entrusted her with a task, she had to be loyal to them. She had to do it once she had promised to do it. Whether she could accomplish it or not, she had tried her best anyway.
Lu Xingyao didn't expect that the person he would meet here would be her.
"Princess?"
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
Lu Xingyao's eyes flashed with surprise, but his good upbringing made him look normal.
"Please speak, my lord."
"Miss Lu is indeed here. She was abducted, but was saved by the commander's men, Black and White and Impermanence, who happened to pass by. However, this was not accidental."
Lu Xingyao was puzzled: "It's not a coincidence? Princess, do you mean to come after my Lu family?"
The Lu family, including Lu Xingyao, thought that Lu Xingyue had run away from home because she left a letter saying that she was going to leave home and travel for a while.
But who could have thought that the Red Dragon Guards suddenly sent a letter saying that Lu Xingyue had been captured and rescued by them, and was now in Zhenqiao Tower.
The Lu family members were almost scared to death.
I thought it was an accidental encounter with bandits, but unexpectedly, Yu Shengsheng said it was not.
"My Lord, have you heard that many women have gone missing recently?"
Lu Xingyao had indeed heard something about it. He heard it from the prefect Wang Fu, who also said that he wanted to borrow a few capable people from the Ministry of Justice to help catch the criminal.
But he was not from the Ministry of Justice, and he did not ask any further questions.
"My princess, are you saying that my little sister's matter is related to this case?"
"That's right," Yu Shengsheng nodded, "So, I would like to ask the eldest master to let Miss Lu stay for the time being. The Lu family can pretend that they didn't find her."
Lu Xingyao was so smart that he understood it instantly.
"Okay, the Lu family is willing to cooperate, but my little sister can also go back home."
Yu Shengsheng whispered, "Because of the prince's affairs, the imperial concubine is caught up in it. If the Lu family helps the commander to solve the case, it will surely be helpful to the imperial concubine as well."
Lu Xingyao's eyes narrowed: "My aunt..."
Ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet incident, the Lu family has tried to find out the news, but has not been able to do so.
It was a time of great anxiety.
Yu Shengsheng’s words at this moment were too important.
"The imperial concubine is fine for now, she is just under house arrest. The old Prime Minister and Lord Lu are both important officials in the court, so there is no need for me to say anything. I can only guarantee that Miss Lu will not be in danger of her life here, and her reputation will not be damaged."
"Let's take a step back and say that if this case is solved, even if it can't help the Imperial Concubine, it's worth it to let the master owe you a favor."
Lu Xingyao was still a little hesitant: "But my little sister is not in good health and has always been timid..."
Yu Shengsheng thought, you don't know your sister at all, how can she be timid and fearful? She dared to run away from home, how timid can she be?
"You two can meet once, what do you think, young master?"
Yu Shengsheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and every word she spoke was clear, which really surprised Lu Xingyao.
He lowered his eyes in thought, his gaze accidentally sweeping over the sachet on her waist.
