The fast travel is too late

Chapter 225 She is a fish in the pond (3)

"I remember that your name is Lu Zishan. A few days ago, you invited a few servants from the yamen to drink in the tavern outside. They should also come today. You can go to them and ask why you surrounded the Lu family's ancestral house. Our Lu family It is a family of good deeds praised by the emperor himself, and he has not committed any serious crimes, so there is no reason to trap people here and not allow them to go out."

When Lu Zhensheng instructed people, he was unequivocal, as if he had forgotten who was the one who was rejected outside just now, that natural attitude made people disliked.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

No matter how much dissatisfaction Lu Zishan has, he can only hide it in the bottom of his heart and cannot show it on the surface. Lu Zhensheng may not be able to do anything to the officers and soldiers outside, but for a side member like Lu Zishan, when he wants to teach someone a lesson, someone will come forward Hurry up and pass him the whip.

"Brother, I'm afraid." Xin Wu's fingers on Lu Zishan's shoulders suddenly tightened, his knuckles turned white, and it seemed that he had used great strength to restrain himself.

She poked her head out from behind Lu Zishan, her watery eyes met Lu Zhensheng, and she begged in a low voice: "Don't let my brother leave me, brother don't leave me, Ah Wu doesn't want to be alone." As she spoke, she burst into tears It came out, along the corners of the eyes, diluting the dust on the face, revealing the tender white skin underneath.

Show people your weakness and ask for a kind treatment.

Lu Zhensheng is still young, and he is still a sympathetic person. If it takes another two years, Xin Wu's act of showing weakness will not have any results, but it is just right now, especially when Lu Zhensheng has just lost his biological sister. , looking at the side branch girl who was similar in age and appearance to his younger sister, he couldn't help but want to give her some preferential treatment.

Lu Zhensheng: "Since your sister is still young, I'll find other people to find out the news. You, you should stay and take care of your sister. Don't let her get hurt."

Thinking of his own sister who lost his life due to his negligence, Lu Zhensheng didn't have the heart to continue talking with Lu Zishan. He endured the grief in his heart and continued: "Someone set fire to the ancestral house, and most of the houses in the ancestral house were destroyed. You guys There is no place for people to live in the courtyard here, and I am going out now, so I want everyone to go to the West Garden, not to enter the ancestral hall, but to the two courtyards next to the ancestral hall, where there are not many rooms. , you can still pass the night if you squeeze, and the rest will be discussed tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xin Wu again. The little girl looked soft and weak. She hid behind Lu Zishan and was easily blocked by half of her body. Her small face was pale and her eyes were still red. She looked really pitiful Xixi.

Xin Wu looked sideways at Uncle Lu on the ground, and refused to move.

The place where the side support lives is a relatively remote corner. If the leader of the circle of officers and soldiers hadn't been nearby, Lu Zhensheng would not have appeared nearby in the first place.

Let them go to the West Garden now. The West Garden is still a long way from here. It takes half a stick of incense to walk there. This is based on someone like Lu Zishan who walks fast. If it is at Xin Wu's speed, I am afraid. It still takes a while.

If it was normal, she would just change it, Xin Wu wouldn't complain, but now she doesn't want to.

Uncle Lu died because he saved her. If she went to the West Garden with Lu Zishan, who would look after Uncle Lu's body?
It would be great if Lu Zhensheng could say one more word of consolation. It would be impossible for him to persuade him any more. After he finished speaking, he walked to the yard next to him. Xin Wu and his family were not the only ones living nearby.

After the person left, Xin Wu didn't have to continue pretending to be weak.

She squatted down, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and straightened Uncle Lu's face on the ground, but she had no intention of moving.

"A Wu."

After Lu Zishan yelled, he didn't do anything else.

How could he not know what Xin Wu was thinking? Even he didn't want to leave at this time, leaving his father alone, even though his father had passed away.

So the two stayed in the dilapidated yard, making do with Uncle Lu's body overnight.

In such a situation where news transmission is extremely inconvenient, although what happened in the Lu family's ancestral house has been spread throughout the city, Lu Ziyu in the capital has not yet gotten the news, and if he is unlucky, he may wait until all the members of the Lu family are dead. Only when he died, he could get this tragic news from outsiders.

The current situation is that the distant water cannot save the near fire, even if Lu Ziyu has great skills, he cannot save the people trapped in the Lu family's ancestral house, so they can only find a way to choose to save themselves.

There is no shortage of flexible minds in this world.

There are many officers and soldiers in the city, but it is impossible to keep the Lu family ancestor's house tightly closed, there will always be a few loopholes for people to leave.

It's impossible for Lu Zishan and Xin Wu, who are burdened, to leave without doing anything, but a family is so big, there will always be someone who finds a way to leave, perhaps leaving with the idea of ​​leaving a kindling for the family.

Anyway, when Xin Wu woke up early the next morning, he learned that someone had sneaked away during the night.

But those people didn't have much money on them, and their identity documents were destroyed in the fire. Even if they escaped, how could they live a good life?

When Xin Wu woke up, Lu Zishan had already been busy on the ruins for a long time, expanding the scope of cleaning up a lot.

He did this not like the people in the nearby yard, looking for the money left in the ruins, but thinking that he could clean up some things. It would be best if he cleaned up the things next to him, and then he could use tools to help Uncle Lu Get rid of the things on your body, so that you can get Uncle Lu's body out.

Early in the morning, Xin Wu followed Lu Zishan to help move the bricks. She was not strong enough and could only move some small things, but she never took a break from the beginning to the end. Finally, she cleared an open space before sunrise and found She took her jewelry box and finally rescued Uncle Lu's body from the rubble.

The bed curtains and curtains in the room were all destroyed in the fire, but only one corner of Xin Wu's quilt in the cabinet was burnt, the rest was clean.

They spread the quilt on the ground, and moved Uncle Lu's body onto the quilt. Lu Zishan fetched water from the well in the yard to wash Uncle Lu, while Xin Wu sat and waited.

The officers and soldiers who were guarding outside during the day yesterday became closer to them early this morning.

Before, Xin Wu could only see that the officers and soldiers were all dressed in the same color and could not see the appearance of the people clearly. Now she could see a few officers and soldiers walking back and forth not far away when she was sitting in the yard, and her faces were still unclear, but The knives hanging around their waists were unsheathed from time to time, and the white light made her eyes hurt.

"Brother, are we going to die here? It's a very useless death, the kind of death that we don't even know why we died."

Xin Wu looked up at Lu Zishan who came to her side after packing up Uncle Lu's remains.

Her previous questioning was interrupted by Lu Zhensheng's arrival, and Lu Zishan didn't even tell her about the news she had inquired outside.

Lu Zishan: "As Lu Zhensheng said, the emperor once praised the Lu family as a family of good deeds, and Lu Ziyu is the emperor's favorite minister. Those people outside are only doing what they are doing now, just to teach Lu Ziyu a lesson. There will be no more."
