The prefect said: "I can't see clearly because his face is covered, but his legs and feet seem to be in trouble and not very flexible."
Lu Yanzhou thought of someone in his mind and asked hurriedly.
"Did he leave his name? Or do you know where to go to thank him? He protected an official from the imperial court, and the governor has rewarded him handsomely."
The prefect said calmly, "He didn't leave any message. He helped us and then left."
Lu Yanzhou continued to ask, "Which direction did he go?"
Jimo Yuan chuckled, "Lu Yanzhou, don't you believe the prefect? You said you were here to track down the murderer, but why are you always asking about that hero?"
Lu Yanzhou said as a matter of course: "I must know the exact situation. It is not ruled out that he has ulterior motives. He sent people to kill you first, and then rescue you to gain your trust."
Jimo Yuan: "My young master thinks you have a hole in your brain. Among the people who assassinated us, the leader was very skilled in martial arts. It would take at least ten years to cultivate that skill. The others are also good in martial arts. They must have spent a lot of effort. There are many ways to gain our trust. There is no need to sacrifice so many people."
Lu Yanzhou's heart tightened: "Are you saying that all those involved in the assassination are dead?"
"Yes, they're all dead." Jimo Yuan said, "It's a pity we were so scared that we left in a hurry, otherwise I would have gone up and stabbed them twice."
Lu Yanzhou's face was gloomy. "Aunt Sheng, you were also at the scene at that time. Tell me what you saw."
Sheng Qiyue frowned. "It's exactly as the prefect and my husband said. Those people had their faces covered, so we don't know their identities. Since you are a disciple of the governor's office, you must be more capable than us. I believe you can find out the truth."
"Of course." Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly and said gently, "My name is Lu Yanzhou. If you have anything to ask, you can come to the Admiral's Mansion to find me."
Jimo Yuan's face darkened: "You're flirting with my aunt right in front of me. Do you think I'm dead?!"
"Brother Lu!" A barbell-like sound rang out, the ground was shaking, and the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps came, and Lu Yanzhou's face changed.
The shameless fat woman is here again!
Lou Xinlan ran over and saw Sheng Qiyue was there too. Her face changed and she quickly looked at Lu Yanzhou. Sure enough, she saw that he was keeping his eyes on Sheng Qiyue. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.
A married woman seduces Brother Lu, how shameless!
Beauty System: [What's there to be angry about? As long as you find the right method, Sheng Qiyue's appearance and figure will be yours from now on. Just because Lu Yanzhou likes Sheng Qiyue's looks doesn't that mean he'll like yours in the future? You should be happy that you've kidnapped the right person.]
How can this be the same? Lou Xinlan suppressed her displeasure and said, "Brother Lu, is there something important that brought you here? Perhaps Xinlan can help you."
The prefect's face was not very good: "Xinlan, we have something important to discuss, you go back first."
Lou Xinlan was unwilling to leave: "Brother Lu..."
The prefect once again asked Lou Xinlan to leave, but Lou Xinlan still refused.
Seeing the prefect's big reaction, Lu Yanzhou also wanted to know if Lou Xinlan knew anything else.
"Since you want to help me so much," Lu Yanzhou said, "Did you know that the prefect was assassinated today?"
"So that's what it is!" Lou Xinlan said happily, "I'll follow them in a carriage today. Just ask whatever you want to know."
Lu Yanzhou was shocked. So there was something about Lou Xinlan?
The prefect looked at Jimo Yuan anxiously, and Jimo Yuan shook his head slightly, signaling him not to worry.
Lu Yanzhou stared at Lou Xinlan closely: "In that case, tell me what you saw. The more detailed the better."
Lou Xinlan: "I followed them with my maid. We were safe at first, but suddenly someone came to kill us. One of my maids was killed to protect me, and my face was also injured. Brother Lu, look at my face, it hurts~"
Lu Yanzhou glanced at the gauze on her face and thought it was ugly. He said expressionlessly, "Besides this, continue talking."
Lou Xinlan felt a little aggrieved: "I and another maid ran to the team where my uncle was, and then..."
"And then what?" Lu Yanzhou asked.
Lou Xinlan said embarrassedly: "Then we fainted, and when we woke up we were in the mansion."
Lu Yanzhou asked lonely, took a deep breath, and sure enough he shouldn't count on this woman! But why did the prefect react so strongly?
Jimo Yuan looked at Lou Xinlan and said sarcastically, "I told you to stop talking. You don't know anything. Even though you look terrible, you're still a woman. It's not a good thing to get hurt by a gangster out there. It would damage your reputation if it got out."
"Brother Lu won't tell anyone about this." Lou Xinlan looked at Lu Yanzhou infatuatedly and said in a pinched voice, "Brother Lu, don't you agree?"
Lu Yanzhou: "...Goodbye!"
He silently looked at Sheng Qiyue several times, then turned and left under Jimo Yuan's cold gaze.
As soon as Lu Yanzhou left, the prefect said to Lou Xinlan, "Since you're living in our He Mansion, you must listen to what we say. If you don't want to listen, then move back to your Lou family. You're old enough now, and it's time for the Lou family to find you a marriage."
After what just happened, the prefect realized that if not handled properly, Lou Xinlan would be a major threat to the He Mansion. Today, she knew little, but what if she knew everything? Given her mindless obsession with Lu Yanzhou, it would be difficult for her not to sell them out.
Lou Xinlan was shocked: "Uncle, just because I didn't listen to you and leave, you want to drive me away?"
The prefect said, "I am the head of the He Mansion. You refused to listen to me just to have a few more words with Lu Yanzhou. Who will you listen to in the future? Since we can't discipline you, then we will send you back to the Lou family and let them discipline you."
"I'm not undisciplined." Lou Xinlan said aggrievedly: "Uncle, I will definitely listen to you in the future. I promise it won't happen again."
After all, she was his wife's niece. For his wife's sake, the prefect didn't want to be too heartless and said coldly, "Go back and reflect on yourself."
Lou Xinlan hurriedly ran to her residence, thinking as she ran, there is a difference between biological children and non-biological children. The prefect did not disown her cousin even though he did so many ridiculous things. She just didn't listen to him, and he wanted to drive her away.
Wait, wait for her...
Sheng Qiyue and Jimo Yuan returned to Furongyuan, thinking that it was Jimo Yuan who was with her all the time. Sheng Qiyue and Jimo Yuan got along very naturally, and they spent a wonderful night.
On the second day, Sheng Qiyue had nothing to do. Thinking of Sheng Guangyao and Wang Erniu who had been waiting for her outside, she suddenly became interested in meeting them and seeing if she could get some money out of Lou Xinlan.
She is not short of money now, but she will not refuse the money that comes to her door, especially from her enemy Lou Xinlan.
Sheng Qiyue wanted to make her full of expectations, then disappoint her, and finally give her a fatal blow.
