After visiting the grave, Zheng Shuyu was in a bad mood and wanted to walk around.
Seeing that she wanted to have some peace and quiet, Mu Siyu left a few servants with her and returned to the city first.
When I returned to the city, I saw something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city.
"Did something happen?" Mu Siyu asked, "Zisu, Ziyuan, go and find out."
Not long after, the two maids came back.
"Is there a conceited gentleman who is cheating people out of money?"
"Yes, I heard that many people have been deceived. Now someone is going to report the crime, saying that they want to catch this conceited Mr."
"Do you know who Mr. Xuhuai is?" Mu Siyu asked.
Zi Su and Zi Yuan shook their heads.
"I don't blame you for not knowing, because we haven't mentioned it before. You know that the second master writes a storybook, right?"
"I know!"
"Second Master's pen name is Xunhuai."
"ah?"
Mu Siyu looked around and said, "Go back to the county office and ask the master what's going on."
In the study, Lu Yi looked at Lu Xuan opposite him.
Lu Xuan expressed his injustice: "I made a lot of money writing scripts. Do I need to deceive this crooked person?"
"There is a seal of humility in that man's hand. I compared it and it is indeed the same." Lu Yi said: "Of course I know you can't cheat money, but this man is using your name, you shouldn't
Think about it for me?"
"My seal was stolen not long ago. I was scolded by Manager Fang for this matter. Later, I found someone to order another one."
"When was it stolen? Under what circumstances was it stolen?"
When Mu Siyu came back, the two brothers had been talking for a long time. When she asked about the scam, Lu Yi told her something serious.
"Does that person have a grudge against you? He cheated in your name, and even left a seal as a clue." Mu Siyu said, "Who have you offended recently?"
"Then there are so many people to suspect. I'm afraid the investigation won't be completed until next month." Lu Xuan looked helpless.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at your popularity, but I'm used to it." Mu Siyu said: "The people who reported to the official didn't provide any clues?"
"The man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face clearly. However, everyone said that the man was thin and small, looked very thin, and was coughing from time to time. He must be seriously ill."
"If that person is a liar, do you think you can still believe clues like coughing?" Mu Siyu asked.
Gao Yamen came in from outside: "Sir, there are new clues."
"Tell me and listen." Lu Yi said.
"One of the people who was deceived was named Chen Tong. He said he invited the fake person to dinner. The person didn't take off his mask when eating, but he took off the part below his mouth."
Mu Siyu heard them talk about the case and was a little interested at first. Later, she found that a clue required repeated scrutiny and was not as interesting as those TV dramas about investigating crimes, so she left first.
She was modestly involved in the deception incident, which directly affected the sales of the new book. Manager Fang, who never left Hongwen Hall, came to see her personally and asked them to deal with the matter early, otherwise the new book contract would be terminated.
Lu Xuan had just come out of the county government office when he saw a maid running from the opposite side. The maid knelt down towards Lu Xuan.
"what you do?"
"Second Master Lu, please save our wife."
"Your wife is..."
"Ye Yingge, Mrs. Ye." The maid said: "Our wife is about to give birth, but both the Wen Po and the doctor have been replaced. Our Wen Po and the doctor can't come in at all."
"Who changed it?" When Lu Xuan heard this, his expression became solemn.
"Of course they are the old man and the old lady of the You family." The maid said: "It was originally fine, but as soon as our lady started, they sent people to guard the lady's people. I also overheard them saying that they wanted to save the son and go to the mother.
They also said that our wife killed their son and they wanted her to go underground to accompany him."
"What a vicious old thing! You wait here, I'll call a few people over."
Of course the person Lu Xuan wanted to call was someone from the county government.
Now that someone is about to die, this can be considered a case. Who can say anything if you bring a few government officials to prevent the murder from happening?
You family. Listening to the cries of pain coming from inside, Mr. You and Mrs. You wandered around anxiously.
"Old man, do you really want to do this?" The old lady said worriedly: "If word spreads, we may be in trouble."
"I have inquired, our son was killed by that bitch inside and his adulterer. Don't you want to take revenge? We are old bones. What's the big deal if we die? If we are lucky, wait for that bitch
Once our golden grandson is born and she is dealt with, we will take our golden grandson out of Shanghai and North City."
"I listen to you." Mrs. You became cruel when she thought of her son's revenge.
"Ah..." Ye Yingge screamed.
"No!" Po Wen came out and said, "The fetus is too big and cannot be born."
"Can't give birth? It's easy. Just cut open her belly and take out the baby." Mr. You said viciously: "I once saw someone do this when I was doing business, and the baby was fine."
As for the adults, does he care?
I originally wanted her to die.
"I can't do this kind of thing if you ask others to do it." Po Wen was frightened.
"That woman had a difficult childbirth, and she was only able to survive one child. If you can save the child, I will give you two hundred taels of silver." Mr. You said seductively.
"Well..." Po Wen was tempted.
"Who dares?" Lu Xuan quickly ran in with the Yamen servant.
After all, it is a scholar's body. Even if it has been in better condition during this period, it will still cause some heart discomfort when running fast.
"Who are you?" Mr. You became nervous.
"It doesn't matter who I am. You are suspected of murder. If you have anything to say, please go to the county government office." Lu Xuan waved.
The government officials ran towards Mr. You and Mrs. You and took them into custody.
"Child..." the maid reminded Lu Xuan.
"Yes, save people quickly." Lu Xuan said to Dr. Zhu behind him.
In addition to Doctor Zhu, there is also a midwife.
Mr. You's eyes were fierce, and even though he was under the supervision of the government officials, he still showed no intention of restraining himself.
"Are you Ye Yingge's adulterer?"
Lu Xuan frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Did you team up to kill my son?"
"Your son's death is what he deserves and has nothing to do with anyone else. Who told you that your son was killed by me?" Lu Xuan discovered something was wrong.
The death of the man surnamed You did have something to do with them, but not many people knew about it, and Ye Yingge was even less likely to tell them, so how did they know?
"Are you guilty? If it weren't for you, why are you so nervous about Ye Yingge, that bitch?" Mr. You said, "You killed my son, and I want you to die!"
Lu Xuan had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the thick smoke confirmed his suspicion.
"It's on fire!" Someone shouted: "Come here quickly, it's on fire, the delivery room is on fire."
