 Chapter 100 Fiancé

 Shen Fengying's eyesight turned dark.

All the confusion and doubts were suddenly solved at this moment. He finally understood why Pei Yunying had to go to the patrol house to personally intervene in the case today. That's it!

The person behind the instigation of the murder turned out to be Concubine Meng of Prince Wenjun!

Concubine Meng, Shen Fengying’s head is as big as a bucket.

Since he became the leader of the patrol house, he has kept a special booklet in which he records the intricate kinship relationships among the various official families in Shengjing, so as to avoid offending people unintentionally. Therefore, when the thief said the words "Prince Wenjun's Palace" and "Concubine Meng", Shen Fengying immediately thought of the marriage relationship between Prince Wenjun's Palace and Duke Zhaoning's Palace. Pei Yunying's sister married Prince Wenjun. The princess, and Meng Xiyan is naturally the concubine!

The assassin caught by Pei Yunying happened to reveal that the person behind it was Concubine Meng. There was nothing fishy about it, and even if he were killed, he wouldn't believe it!

However, the stage was set up in the patrol house, and he, the leader of the patrol shop, could only bite the bullet and sing.

Shen Fengying said with a numb face, "Nonsense, Concubine Meng has no enmity with Dr. Lu, so why did she instruct you to commit murder?"

 The people on earth said: “I don’t know.”

Pei Yunying turned to look at Lu Chen, who looked thoughtful, and asked with a smile: "Doctor Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Zhen looked troubled.

 “Say it, don’t be afraid.”

Lu Ye nodded: "I only met Concubine Meng once. The princess was in emergency labor that day, and I delivered the baby for her. But according to the time, the pregnancy period of the princess has not yet arrived. Fortunately, the princess and the young lady are in harmony with each other, and everything goes well. "

"The princess once told me that the emergency birth happened suddenly and was a bit strange..." Lu Chen frowned, "I wonder if it has anything to do with this."

 Shen Fengying wanted to roll his eyes.

Lu Zhen almost had the words "Concubine Meng's anger and murder to silence" written on his face.

 He looked at Pei Yunying tentatively: "Sir, this..."

Pei Yunying sighed: "It concerns the princess, and it's half of my family affairs, so I can't get involved." His fingertips brushed the hollow silver ornaments on the handle of the knife at his waist, "It's better to hand this person over to Mr. Shen first. If the person is really Concubine Meng, of course there will be other evidence. But..." He smiled, "But before that, Master Shen, please look at the person first and don't let him die."

 Shen Fengying: “…”

 Are you throwing this hot potato to him?

Concubine Meng is said to be very favored by the prince. It would be useless to have such a high-ranking official's family affairs mixed in hastily. If he pleases Pei Yunying, but turns around and offends Prince Wen, wouldn't he be in the same position?

Shen Fengying was just trying to find a reason to politely refuse, when he heard Lu Zhuo say: "Okay, we just brought this person to the patrol house, and many people saw it along the way. I think it will spread throughout the city soon. Maybe. This person's accomplices will also take action, Master Shen must be careful."

 Shen Fengying: “…”

He was bumped into by people all the way, and he didn't believe it if he said it wasn't intentional. They were just trying to drag him into the water!

 What a vicious thought!

Listening to these two singing harmoniously, Shen Fengying's short-lived excitement had long since dissipated. This case was obviously not a good thing, it would offend people no matter what, but he happened upon it.

 Shen Fengying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At that time, when he went to Shengjing to inspect shop houses, a senior told him that officialdom was not just that, as long as he could flatter people, rising would not be a problem. His name is "Feng Ying", Feng Ying, Feng Ying. Shen Fengying felt that he was good at taking pictures, and he became the leader of the patrol house by relying on Feng Ying. He wanted to work hard and climb up, but he didn't know that he had been like this since last month. It's like some bad luck, this happens all the time.

It’s just like what the poor scholar who came back from the dead said, what’s green on the mountain is like the seedlings on the ground. They have no status and will always be the victims of these gentry and nobles.

 Official life is so difficult!

The spicy food in his stomach filled his lungs with swelling. Shen Fengying took a deep breath and managed to speak: "Yes, sir, don't worry. I will handle the matter impartially and keep a close eye on this person."

 Look at your ass. Please resign, I won’t work tomorrow!

 …

 After leaving the patrol shop, the street lights up.

There is no curfew in Shengjing, and it is actually more lively at night than during the day. In the wine shop under the Luoyue Bridge, there are often people drinking all night long. The crowds of miscellaneous craftsmen are crowded with spectators, and the market is crowded with cars and horses.

Lu Zhen followed Pei Yunying to the alley, turning a blind eye to the fireworks of tourists on the shore, with a calm expression.

Pei Yunying tilted his head and asked her, "Are you not injured?"

 Lu Zhuo shook his head.

Ever since she returned to Renxin Medical Center from the Prince's Mansion, Pei Yunying's bodyguard Qing Feng has been following her, waiting for danger that may arise at any time. Ten or twenty days passed in a row, and everything was calm. Even when Lu Zhen himself thought that danger would not arise, he met an assassin tonight.

It seems that it was because she went to the county prince's palace to visit the "Xi'er Society" during the day, which finally stimulated Meng Xiyan.

 That Concubine Meng is not very good at enduring anger.

 Qingfeng appeared in time and she was not injured. The arrest went smoothly. She used her body as bait to catch the person, which was considered a great gift to Pei Yunying.

 The person beside him said: "It's still early, Doctor Lu, do you want to go shopping?"

Lu Zhen came to his senses and said calmly: "No need, I have to go back to make medicine."

Pei Yunying stopped.

 Lu Zhuo raised his eyes and looked.

The young man stood in Shengjing at night, illuminated by the bright lights of the street market, and looked extremely handsome and handsome. He stared at Lu Chen and said thoughtfully: "Doctor Lu seems to be always busy."

 Lu Yan was silent.

In the distance, the wind lanterns tied to the railings of the Luoyue Bridge fell into the river under the bridge, sparkling with the color of snow, as if the fifteenth moon had been broken and thrown into the flowing river.

On the fifteenth day, when she induced Pei Yunshu to give birth and talked with Pei Yunying under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard late at night, the moon was fuller than it is today.

That night, she said to Pei Yunying: "Master, let me give you a gift."

Pei Yunying looked at her with a smile under the tree: "What gift?"

"The 'child's worry' that the princess fell into should be rare in Shengjing. The person who poisoned the house must be hiding in the house, but now that the matter is exposed, the other party is prepared. If you want to find out the person behind it, you may have to spend a lot of trouble. Besides, The end result may not be satisfactory.”

 At that time, this is what she said.

Pei Yunying said with great interest: "Doctor Lu, what do you think?"

"If Mr. Pei intervenes, the other party will not dare to do it easily. But if I detoxify the princess and induce labor, the other party will definitely regard me as a thorn in their side and wish to get rid of it quickly. I am not a rich girl, I am an ordinary person, so there is nothing to be afraid of. All I need is a little stimulation. , the other party will most likely take action against me. As long as you lend me a few people to protect you secretly, you may be able to catch the person behind it."

After listening to her suggestion, Pei Yunying did not comment on her idea. He glanced at her with no emotion or anger in his eyes and only asked: "Doctor Lu seems to have a deep grudge against civilians and officials."

  She replied: "Just telling the truth."

 He leaned back, Yun Danfeng nodded lightly, "Deal."

For the past ten or twenty days since she returned to the hospital from the Prince's Mansion, she sat in the hospital every day to make medicine as usual, just like any other day, quietly waiting for danger that might arise at any time. However, everything was calm, and neither the perpetrators nor the secret guards arranged by Pei Yunying could be seen, until today.

I don’t know what he did to Meng Xiyan. Meng Xiyan, who had endured it for so many days, finally couldn’t help but attack her today.

 In the days before that, she and Pei Yunying had not met each other, and there had been no correspondence between them. Today, as soon as Qing Feng caught the person, she took him to the patrol house with her front foot, and Pei Yunying arrived with her rear foot. There was no need to discuss the confession in private, no need to understand their respective arrangements. It was clear that a few days ago, he and she were **** for tat, exposing, framing, and threatening each other. However, in this matter, there was an inexplicable tacit understanding of being an accomplice.

　　It works perfectly together.

The moon under the Luoyue Bridge was cut into countless small crystal pieces by the boats traveling on the river. A voice came from my ears: "What is Doctor Lu thinking?"

Lu Zhen came back to his senses and looked at the carriage at the street. Qing Feng was standing in front of the carriage, waiting for the two of him.

 “I’m thinking, I should go back.” She walked forward.

Pei Yunying nodded: "Shall I give it to you?"

 “No need. It’s too late, I’m afraid it might cause misunderstanding.”

Although the shops on West Street were closed, they still bumped into the nearby retail vendors. Pei Yunying looked attractive, and he was seen staying with her at night. Rumors would spread all over the sky tomorrow.

Lu Zhen didn’t want to cause trouble for himself.

Hearing this, Pei Yunying laughed inexplicably, "I didn't expect Doctor Lu to be such a person who cherishes his reputation." After a pause, he continued: "In this case, Mrs. Taifu Temple Qingfu misunderstood the relationship between you and me. Why didn't you explain?"

 Lu Zhuo was startled.

The young man raised his eyebrows and waited for her answer.

 Under such questioning eyes, Lu Zhen rarely felt a little guilty.

Mrs. Dong, the Minister of Taifu Temple, misunderstood that she had an ambiguous relationship with Pei Yunying and became friendly with her. Lu Zhu himself also wanted to use Mrs. Dong to get close to the officials in Shengjing, so he went along with the situation, acquiesced to Mrs. Dong's statement, and even pretended to do so. Shy, I pushed the boat further. But she ignored that Mrs. Dong loved to be lively and popular, and she was indispensable for the banquets held by official wives in Shengjing. It was passed around, and maybe it would reach the ears of Wenjun Princess Pei Yunshu. After all, Mrs. Dong was present at the Mid-Autumn Festival feast at Prince Wenjun's Mansion.

Pi Yunshu and Pei Yunying are siblings, so it is only a matter of time before word reaches Pei Yunying's ears.

 There were crowds of people coming and going around, and the excitement made the atmosphere here even more stagnant. Lu Yan suppressed his guilty conscience and spoke calmly: "I don't care if others misunderstand others and can't explain it clearly, and the Commander-in-Chief doesn't need to take it to heart either."

"Yeah?"

Pei Yunying nodded with a smile, and the dimples on his lips were particularly confusing, "But how did I hear that Doctor Lu himself hinted that he had a close relationship with me." He said in a teasing tone, looking at her like a joke, "Doctor Lu goes around destroying people's innocence like this. Does your fiancé know?”

 This man is absolutely disgusting!

 Lu Yan was quiet for a moment, then he simply raised his head and smiled at him and said, "I don't need to bother you, my fiancé. My fiancé is very generous."

He crossed his arms and said with a smile: "That's generous enough."

Lu Chen didn't want to talk to this person anymore. Seeing that the carriage was getting closer and closer, he reminded him: "No matter what, I helped the commander catch the person today. How this person will be dealt with in the future depends on the commander himself, sir." Just remember to owe me a favor.”

She is not a living Bodhisattva with overflowing good intentions, and there is no need to risk her own life to arrest people for Pei Yunying. The reason why she proposed it in the first place was simply to make Pei Yunying owe her a favor. In addition to the lives of Pei Yunshu and his daughter, and with Pei Yunying's temperament, in a short period of time, as long as his interests are not involved, he should be able to turn a blind eye to what she did in Shengjing.

As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, that's fine.

"Of course I remember." Pei Yunying sighed and looked down at her: "Such a big favor, tell me who you want to kill next, I can help you."

These words were very tempting, and Lu Yan said: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief, but I have not killed anyone in the past, and I will not kill anyone in the future."

 He sighed: "Doctor Lu is really impeccable."

　　Lu Zhu was indifferent: "Master Pei is very good at finding ways to find opportunities."

 “Okay.” He was not angry, he just smiled and said, “What reward do you want?”

Lu Zhen was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't need to pay it back to the palace commander now. I will ask the palace commander to ask for it when I think of it in the future."

Pei Yunying frowned: "Are you trying to blackmail me?"

“You should be able to keep your word.”

Pei Yunying nodded: "It seems that he really wants to blackmail me." He stared at Lu Huan, and his tone became brisk again, "I hope what Dr. Lu entrusts will not be too shocking, otherwise I will lose a lot of money."

 Lu Zhu nodded slightly: "I'll try my best."

By the time they were talking, the two of them had already reached the street corner. Qing Feng stood beside the carriage. Pei Yunying said, "Go ahead, Qing Feng will see you off."

Lu Zhen nodded to him and walked towards the carriage. When she walked to the carriage, she heard Pei Yunying calling her from behind: "Doctor Lu."

Lu Zhen paused before getting on the carriage and looked back at him.

He stood at the street corner, with the crowds of people in the distance flowing through the bright lanterns. The moonlight on the bridge under the Luoyue Bridge was bright, and the young man's handsome appearance in brocade clothes and silver swords stood out against this beautiful world of mortals.

Pei Yunying smiled and said: "This matter is over, but I dare not say that there will be peace in the future. Doctor Lu, do you need Qing Feng to continue to protect you?"

 Lu Zong's eyes moved.

 To be honest, it is indeed safer to have such a person by your side. If she was just an ordinary medical woman at Renxin Medical Center, she would naturally accept the other party's kindness without any courtesy.

 But she is not.

 What she has done cannot be known to outsiders except Yin Zheng.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but it's not necessary." Lu Yan looked at him and said calmly, "I practice medicine and dispense medicines. There are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the medical hall. If someone who doesn't know what they are doing breaks in rashly, someone may be killed."

Pei Yunying was startled. After Lu Zhu said these words, he got directly into the carriage. The curtain of the carriage fell down, covering the woman's face. It was impossible to see clearly what the owner's expression was after these almost threatening words.

Qing Feng looked at him, Pei Yunying waved his hand, and the carriage drove into the bustling night of Shengjing and gradually disappeared.

 He shook his head and smiled. When he looked up again, he had put on an indifferent expression, turned around and left in the other direction.

 …

Pei Yunying returned to the Palace Commander's Mansion.

In the small courtyard of the Dian Shuai Mansion, Gardenia was hiding under the tree and sleeping. There was some bright light coming from the door. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Zhufeng walked out.

The usually cold and taciturn person rarely showed some anxiety on his face, so he asked him: "How is it?"

 “Caught it.” Pei Yunying walked straight in, “Come in and tell me.”

There is a plate of red oranges on the table. Because of this red decoration, Shen Su's room seems to be more lively and lively.

Xiao Zhufeng turned around and closed the door. When he turned around, Pei Yunying had already sat down on the chair. He picked up an orange and tossed it up and down in his hand. He said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight. You are so fast."

In fact, as soon as Lu Chen left the county prince's mansion today, Meng Xiyan made some moves. Xiao Zhufeng ordered people to closely monitor the activities outside the county prince's palace. Before Wang Shan took action, Xiao Zhufeng had already found out his family background.

I don’t know if I should say that Meng Xiyan is stupid, because the person who killed him was actually a family man. People with weak points are always more likely to be manipulated. That's fine, everything will go more smoothly in the future.

Xiao Zhufeng sat down at the corner of the table and picked up an orange. The orange peel was red and had a slight citrus aroma, sour and refreshing. He was silent for a moment and asked: "Why do you have to find a military patrol to build a house?"

There are not many people in the patrol house, and they usually deal with fires and thefts. Murder cases are indeed a bit unfamiliar.

"Otherwise, send it to the Prison Department? The Prince's Palace will get the news in less than a stick of incense. Do you think you can hide it?" Pei Yunying said sarcastically.

Xiao Zhufeng didn't say anything. This was because the officials in Shengjing had their own relationship. They were afraid of offending others. If something happened, they would calm down first before talking.

Pei Yunying said: "Don't worry, it will be clean this time." He glanced at Xiao Zhufeng again, threw a red orange and Xiao Zhufeng caught it in his hand, Pei Yunying said: "You really don't want to try to become my brother-in-law?"

 Xiao Zhufeng was silent.

 He sneered: "Cowardly."

Just when Xiao Zhufeng was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Pei Yunying responded, and Duan Xiaoyan walked in holding the military roster and put it on the wooden shelf.

Pei Yunying continued what he had just said, encouraging him: "If you have a sweetheart, you should fight for it."

 Xiao Zhufeng glanced at him: "Do you have a sweetheart?"

 “Not now.”

Duan Xiaoyan came over and said, "Speaking of the issue of my sweetheart, when I was on duty today, the maids and sisters outside Huanhua Court asked me, Sir, this plate of oranges was given to me by them." He asked for the answer seriously, " Brother, let me tell you what kind of girl you like."

 Xiao Zhufeng also looked at him.

 “Why is everyone asking me this question today?” Pei Yunying was amused.

 He thought for a while and then spoke slowly, "Be brave."

 Xiao Zhufeng: “What does it mean to be brave?”

Pei Yunying leaned back in the chair and said leisurely: "As a guard, it is inevitable that the sword has no eyes. If I must find her, I hope she is someone who will not be afraid when she sees me injured and will bandage my wounds."

 “It’s better to be more merciless. She won’t be too sad if I die one day.”

Xiao Zhufeng commented: "I understand, you want to find a body collector."

Pei Yunying lowered her head and smiled: "Maybe."

Duan Xiaoyan's eyes widened: "From what you said, Doctor Lu is perfect for you! Not only can she collect your body, but she can also avenge you!"

Pei Yun glanced at him, and Duan Xiaoyan coughed lightly: "I didn't mean to curse you."

Xiao Zhufeng put down the orange in his hand and silently went to the stage to get a pen and paper and put it in front of Pei Yunying.

　Duan Xiaoyan was confused: "What is this for?"

Pei Yunying picked up the pen.

 “Write a note and complain.” He said.
