After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Bai Qingyu and Li both had somewhat unnatural expressions on their faces.

At that time, not only Bai Yanlang was shocked, but they were all shocked. However, the difference was that they did not believe in the evil spirit.

When the case was reported to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, Xu Lingyun immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

Seeing Lu Zhenguo, he was startled for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and saluted, "General Lu!"

Lu Zhenguo stood up and said, "Master Xu, there is no need to be so polite."

Xu Lingyun didn't say anything polite. He nodded slightly at him, and then looked at Bai Qingyu, "Marquis Yongning, the housekeeper Bai in the mansion went to report that there was a murder case in the mansion."

Bai Qingyu glanced at Bai Yanlang and said helplessly, "It is true. The victim is my fourth niece Bai Youyou. Someone wanted to burn her to death under the pretext of evil spirits."

Lord Xu's breath tightened, "How is the victim now?"

"He's fine, just a few burns."

Bai Qingyu's answer put Lord Xu at ease.

But he felt a little sad, that little girl had really suffered a lot.

Bai Qingyu pointed at Zhang Mo Ma lying on the ground and said, "This evil slave has already admitted that she was the one who did this—"

Lu Zhenguo interrupted him and said, "This evil slave's words are full of loopholes. Lord Yongning, Lord Xu has his own way of investigating the case. Let Lord Xu interrogate the case himself."

"Haha." Yongning Hou smiled awkwardly, "The people who committed the crime are all here, Lord Xu, feel free to ask."

Lord Xu nodded.

He did not question Zhang Momo, but ordered his men to take Zhang Momo and Taoist Zhang away for interrogation separately.

"Where is the victim?"

"Youyou is injured and can't walk around. I'll take you there."

Lu Zhenguo walked out with his hands behind his back, and Lord Xu quickly followed.

The two walked side by side. When there was no one on the road, Lu Zhenguo asked with a smile, "General Lu is familiar with my little niece?"

Just now when Bai Qingyu said that Youyou was only injured and her life was not in danger, the tension in his eyes did not escape his attention.

Lord Xu did not deny it, with a smile on his face, "Qi Yue, the eldest son of the Qi family, is now Mr. Kong's last disciple, and is also my fellow apprentice."

Lu Zhenguo just returned home today and didn't know what happened recently. He asked curiously, "What does this have to do with Youyou?"

"Miss Youyou is indebted to my teacher. With her introduction, my teacher accepted Qi Yue as his disciple." The image of Bai Youyou's familiar Uncle Xu emerged in Lord Xu's mind, and the curve of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Lu Zhenguo was a straightforward person, and he particularly disliked the way these scholars spoke in a roundabout way. "Master Xu, why don't you just speak directly?"

"General Lu is still so impatient."

Lord Xu smiled and said directly without beating around the bush: "Youyou girl, call me Uncle Xu."

Lu Zhenguo had never expected that his little niece was so familiar with Lord Xu that she even called him "Uncle Xu".

Being on good terms with Jingzhao Yin can only bring benefits. He smiled heartily, "Since you are Uncle Xu, this little girl has been wronged. You must find the real culprit for her and avenge her."

Lord Xu said righteously, "General, it goes without saying that even if there is no such relationship, as an official serving the people, it is my duty to seek justice for the people."

"Master Xu is right."

As they were talking, they arrived at Fangfei Garden.

Lu had prepared a meal and was about to send someone to invite him, "Brother——"

"Master Xu."

When Mrs. Lu saw Xu Lingyun, she hurried forward and said, "Master Xu, are you ready for dinner? How about having another bite?"

It was time for dinner. Lu Zhenguo glanced at the dishes on the table and invited him warmly, "The trial won't interfere with your meal. Sir Xu, have another bite?"

"Then Xu will respectfully obey your orders."

Lord Xu didn't hesitate and sat down after lifting his robe.

After a busy day, I only ate a few buns in the morning and a few rice cakes at noon. Now I am starving.

"It's just some home-cooked food. Please eat slowly. I'll go and warm up a bottle of wine for you."

When Lu turned around, Lord Xu quickly said, "I have official business to attend to. I cannot drink. Madam, just prepare the general's wine."

"No need to prepare. I don't drink today."

Lu Zhenguo picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her, "Don't bother with anything, just eat quickly."

There was no rule in the Zhenguo Mansion that men and women sat at different tables. When Lu heard Lu Zhenguo say this, she took the chopsticks, sat down, and picked up the bowl.

She called Xu Lingyun, "Master Xu, please eat quickly."

"okay."

Lu's cheerful look stunned Lord Xu for a moment. He came to his senses and quickly picked up the bowl to eat.

Lu Zhenguo joked, "We, the military family, don't have the same rules as you scholars."

"I don't know about other people, but I don't have so many rules here."

Lord Xu picked up a handful of braised pork with dried bamboo shoots with chopsticks and ate it even more heartily than Lu Zhenguo.

Home-cooked dishes, not exquisite, but with a unique flavor.

The few of them ate very quickly. Before Lu had even finished half of her bowl of rice, the other two had put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Lu Zhenguo wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "How is Youyou girl now?"

"The doctor said that as long as I take good care of myself, there won't be any scars on my body, Yang Momo..."

The injuries on Yang Momo's body were more serious than everyone saw. Looking at the blood all over her body, Lu couldn't help but shed tears.

"Don't worry, I'll go find some medicine for the burns later."

Lu Zhenguo felt heavy-hearted. He stood up and said, "You eat. I'll take Lord Xu to ask Youyou some questions."

"Youyou lives in the side room."

Lord Xu nodded to Mrs. Lu and followed Lu Zhenguo to the side room.

"Uncle, Uncle Xu."

Bai Youyou was lying on the bed. When she saw the person coming, a smile appeared on her face.

"Girl, didn't I tell you before to be on guard against others? How come you fell for someone else's trick again?"

Lord Xu looked at her pale face and felt a little distressed. "I think you are really in trouble this year, which is why you keep having misfortunes."

"Uncle Xu, how can you believe such a thing?"

Bai Youyou was speechless. She had just been attacked by an evil spirit, and this Uncle Xu was really rubbing salt into the wound.

Seeing how familiar they were, Lu Zhenguo felt a little jealous and quickly tried to intercede, "How can a little girl know how treacherous people are?"

"I didn't know this before, but now I've learned a lesson. I'll remember to be more careful next time."

After Xu Lingyun finished teaching Bai Youyou a lesson, he calmed down and said in a serious tone, "As a young girl, you can only offend a limited number of people. The murderer is probably someone in the mansion."

There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

Thinking of the provocative words of the Yongning Marquis and his wife in prison that day, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Lord Xu deliberately asked, "Do you have any suspicions in your mind?"

Bai Youyou thought of what the doctor said, and her sparkling eyes were filled with hatred. "You don't have to investigate anyone else, just investigate my father's Aunt Qiao."
