"What?! Actor!"
Before Qin Wan could make a sound, Fu Ling who was beside him exclaimed first.
For a simple and straightforward girl like Fu Ling, it is an anecdote to adopt a male actor.
"Male... Male actor... Does that mean that Lu Jingcheng has a habit of Long Yang?"
Fu Ling was surprised, and Bai Ying's expression was a bit complicated, Bai Feng nodded, "That's right."
Several people were extremely surprised, but Qin Wan at the side had a calm expression.
Of course, the customs of Dazhou did not regard Longyang as normal, but the habit of Longyang was not a fantasy for Qin Wan. Many people from powerful and powerful families liked this way, some were born like this, and some did it for the sake of Try something new, but everyone dare not show it in the open, so as not to be said to spoil the family tradition.
And Qin Wan was not surprised that Lu Jingcheng was good to Long Yang, because that day, on the erotic album, Qin Wan actually saw several pictures of men having sex.
This was quite a shock to Qin Wan.
Even if ordinary people look at the erotic albums, they don't see men having sex with men.
When she saw that the last few pages of the erotic album were wrinkled a lot, and she had been turned over several times at first glance, Qin Wan knew that even if Lu Jingcheng was not good at Long Yang, she also understood the way of Long Yang, and maybe she was still rejected. It aroused interest, so Bai Feng was allowed to take this trip, but it turned out to be as she expected.
"Princess, why aren't you surprised?"
Seeing that Qin Wan was too calm, Fu Ling was naturally curious. Qin Wan sighed, "I already guessed it when I asked Bai Feng to go to Jianzhou City, but now it's just as I expected. If so, what Lu Suiyong said is true. There can't be women in the plum garden, but there may be men. Lu Jingcheng entered the plum garden several times and left with a smile on her face. I'm afraid it was really a tryst with a man. This also coincides with the fact that Lu Jingcheng was killed by a man. .”
Fu Ling's mouth grew wide, but Qin Wan had thought of this a long time ago.
Bai Feng said solemnly, "Is there anyone who doubts the princess?"
Now that most of the responsibility for solving this case falls on Qin Wan's shoulders, Fuling and the others also hope that the truth of this case will be revealed as soon as possible, so that Bailuzhou will be clean, so that they can live here with more peace of mind.
Qin Wan's bright eyes narrowed, "Men's friendship is contemptible, but Lu Jingcheng's status is noble, if he likes a servant, he can just let him go to his courtyard, but he chooses to meet in the plum garden. It's sentimentality, two or three times is unreasonable, it can be seen that this person is not a slave, in this Bailuzhou, there are only a few people who agree with this condition, but they are brothers—"
In such a cold winter, it is impossible for Lu Jingcheng to enter the Plum Garden twice or three times for a servant, so there is only one possibility, this person is similar to him, either he falls in love with him, or he is coerced by him, but no matter what the possibility is , this person's status will not be low.
Lu Jingcheng is lustful, the women she likes are all beautiful, and the men she likes are naturally not bad. In terms of this point alone, the Lu family's juniors are still eligible, but they are all cousins of the same clan, no matter how crazy Lu Jingcheng is, he will not be able to marry him. Don't attack your own relatives and brothers!
Qin Wan didn't think that Lu Jingcheng was so hungry.
Bai Feng understood what Qin Wan meant, and lost his mind for a while, but thought of something else, "By the way, my subordinates haven't said anything about the other thing I accidentally discovered today."
Qin Wan came back to his senses immediately, "Say it."
Bai Feng calmed down, "This subordinate was going to find out where Lu Jingcheng hangs out and who he is close to, but accidentally found something. Lu Jingcheng went to Jianzhou City several times, and almost every time he was just looking out for himself. But on two occasions, Lu Jingcheng took other people to Huamanlou, and his subordinates learned from Hongxiu, who was acquainted with him, that the person who went with him was named Hu, and Lu Jingcheng called him Uncle Hu, a forty-year-old man. Hongxiu didn't know the identity of this man, but from their drunken conversation, he learned that this man was once one of the managers of the Lu family's mining industry in the west of Jianzhou. More than a year ago, because They were driven out for stealing the silver from the mine.”
A bright light suddenly flashed in Qin Wan's mind, "A manager in the mining industry?"
Bai Feng nodded, "That's right, Hongxiu said, after the two of them got drunk, this person blatantly complained to Lu Jingcheng, saying how the Patriarch of Lu's Fifth Household treated them harshly to Lu's elders, and also said that it's not the fault of the Fifth Household now. Anyone, the two of them said something else, but Lu Jingcheng didn't let Hongxiu and others listen. Although he was drunk, it could be seen that there was some secret between Lu Jingcheng and this Uncle Hu. Nervous, don't want to let Hongxiu and others know."
Qin Wan's heart jumped up. Lu Youxin came to build the state this time because of the mine disaster in the west, but now Lu Jingcheng actually met the former mining manager in private. Could it be that Lu Jingcheng wanted to take advantage of the Wufang Mine disaster to do something? What
Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help but focus on Wufang.
She has never met anyone in the fifth room, but according to Lu Youxin's description, the fifth master is sick, the fifth wife is soft-tempered, and the ninth young master Lu Jinghe is a gentle literati who is neither high nor low. After being bullied for many years, thanks to Lu Youxin's support, they are today. Will they have evil intentions
And it is impossible for Lu Jingcheng to have any relationship with his brother, Wufang thinks it is impossible.
Qin Wan sighed, "Go outside and tell me to send a message to my aunt, just say that I want to see her."
Bai Feng got up and went out, passed on the message, and Lu Youxin arrived at the Hanyu Pavilion not long after.
When Qin Wan saw Lu Youxin, he didn't say that Lu Jing was contracted to raise a male actor, but only that the surname Hu was in charge. When he said this, Lu Youxin immediately frowned, "Could it be Hu Guangde?! More than a year ago, because he was greedy for money, Qin Guan frowned. This is the only steward who was kicked out, and his surname is also Hu."
When Lu Youxin said so, Qin Wan was basically sure, "What is the origin of this person? Why is he still in Jianzhou?"
Asked like this, Lu Youxin said, "This person is indeed an old man of the Lu family. There was a little trouble in the mining industry in the west, that is, twenty years ago. At that time, he was still young, just a small foreman. At that time, many people left the Lu family, but he was loyal and stayed with a few brothers. Later, the mining industry gradually stopped losses and made a profit, so he naturally became a manager, but because he had been in the mine for a long time, he Relying on his status, he became more and more misbehaving. Before Wufang took over, he was in charge of the president. Later, when Wufang took over, he refused to listen to Wufang's orders. Centrifugal, thinking that he is an old man, Fifth Brother endured it many times, and then he probably knew that he could not fight against the master of the clan, so he started greedy for money. He has been greedy for money for so many years in the mine. It’s nothing more than a small commotion, more than a year ago, he even took 20,000 taels of tax money from Yan Tiessi, how can he bear it? Fifth brother reported to me, and I sent someone to drive him away.”
"Thinking of years of love, he was only asked to take out the 20,000 taels of silver at that time, and he was not escorted to the government. We don't know where he went afterwards. Unexpectedly, he got involved with Jing Cheng Together!" Lu Youxin was annoyed, it was obvious that Lu Jingcheng violated her bottom line!
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Auntie, calm down. Since this person is in Jianzhou City, and the origin of his life is known now, it will be very easy to find him. I guess there must be a conspiracy between him and Lu Jingcheng, and it may have something to do with Lu Jingcheng's death." , so it’s better to find him and ask him clearly.”
Lu Youxin nodded, "Of course that's the case. I want to see what he and Jingcheng are planning. Don't worry, I'm here to find someone. The Lu family has property in Jianzhou. He was here for many years, so naturally He has bought a lot of property, and he must be living here now. I will ask Wu Ge to find the old man from the past for help, so I will naturally know where he lives. When I find someone, I will definitely interrogate him—”
Qin Wan was relieved, and asked again, "May I ask my aunt, are there any male guests visiting the house these days?"
Lu Youxin raised his eyebrows, "No, there was an accident here in the Lu family. Few people knew about it when I came. I also gave orders to the other rooms. They all went to Jianzhou City to see their friends, so no guests came. However, whether male or female guests."
Qin Wan frowned, knowing that the murderer must be someone from the garden, "Then... is there a solution to this mine accident?"
Lu Youxin sighed, "I have been comforting the families of the victims these days, because it is almost the Chinese New Year, and the people from the prefect's yamen and the Yantie department have sent a message, but the two escaped stewards have not been whereabouts so far. It’s tricky, more than 20 people died, and someone has to be responsible in the end.”
Qin Wan understood very clearly that the most direct rulers of the mining industry are those in charge. Now some people are in prison, while some run away with unknown whereabouts. As the head of the Lu family, he naturally didn't want Lu Bo, the fifth house, to be implicated easily. If he couldn't find out clearly, he naturally didn't mind sending a few stewards to take the blame. Naturally, someone should be responsible for the mine disaster, and Lu Youxin's thoughts are normal and beyond reproach.
The two talked for a while, then Lu Youxin left to order someone to find Hu Guangde.
In the Lanxiangyuan, Lu Jingyun walked in quickly from the outside, and said as soon as she entered, "Fifth brother, my aunt sent a lot of people into Jianzhou City. I heard that she was looking for someone, because I didn't ask clearly. It's very strict, and it's useless to spend money."
"Where are the people from the Han's Pavilion?" Lu Jingxiu asked again.
Lu Jingyun shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't been out before, and the mansion hall is so heavily guarded that not a single mosquito can fly in! Whether it's a maidservant or a guard, most of them are fake, and they don't belong to our house at first glance. I don't know who it is."
Lu Jingxiu narrowed his eyes, "I guess, they will go to Qingsongyuan tonight, so we will block them in the yard!"
Lu Jingyun's eyes were a little excited, but also a little scared, "Fifth brother, this...will it make my aunt furious..."
Lu Jingxiu snorted, "Anyway, my aunt didn't intend to choose you and me as the heir, so why are you so timid?!"
Lu Jingyun shrank her neck and didn't say much, but she was looking forward to the confrontation at night!
As the night slowly fell, a bright lamp was lit in the Han's Pavilion. Qin Wan examined the body and searched Lu Jingxiu's residence. There was no need to go to the Qingsong Courtyard tonight, but Qin Wan was puzzled by all kinds of questions. At night, Still planning to go out for a walk, but not to Qingsongyuan but to Plum Garden.
Lu Jingcheng chose to meet people in the Plum Garden at night, so Qin Wan came here once at night. In the night, the Plum Garden had a faint fragrance, and the frost and snow were clear. Apart from being a bit cold, it was not interesting. It is even more quiet and quiet, and the night party here is really deceiving.
Bai Feng and others accompanied Qin Wan with lights on. Qin Wan stopped outside Taoranting. The bamboos, pavilions, and plum forests are so elegant and quiet. I'm afraid no one would want to kill people here, but Lu Jingcheng It happened to be here that he died. Standing in the plum forest, Qin Wan stared intently at the place where the blood was found before. Layers of fresh snow had already covered up all the traces of that day, so this case became more and more difficult. Lu Jingcheng
Qin Guan was just meditating, when suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind the bamboo forest. With previous experience, Bai Feng continued to go behind the bamboo forest, but it was night at this time. I saw a shadow running far away, Bai Feng immediately chased after her, Qin Wan wanted to follow, but felt something was wrong after running a few steps, at this moment, another brisk footstep suddenly came from behind her. sounded.
As soon as Qin Wan turned around, he saw Lu Jingxiu standing with his sword drawn in the dim yellow night.
Qin Wan raised his brows high, and Lu Jingxiu had a serious and angry expression on his face, but when he saw Qin Wan's turned face, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and then there was an unconcealable surprise...
