Du Tinglan was secretly surprised. Yuyi had just arrived in Chang'an, how could she know Lu Zhaoan's name?

Then I thought about it, the Jinshi Banquet in Yuedeng Pavilion was so lively, Lu Zhaoan was Kuiyuan this year, and Ayu had many eyes and ears around him, so it was not surprising to know.

She nodded nervously: "Yes."

Mrs. Du was heartbroken: "So you went out of the nunnery privately to meet this Lu Zhaoan?"

Du Tinglan clenched the corner of her quilt, tears falling down like broken beads. Teng Yuyi silently patted Du Tinglan's shoulders and back. When she calmed down a little, she held back her anger and asked, "Sister, what happened next?"

Du Tinglan wiped her tears and managed to calm down: "I wanted to get back those letters. I was afraid that my mother would find out that I had left Jingfu Temple, so I hurried to the bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, a large number of servants came from outside the bamboo forest and set up a trap in front of the forest.

No one was allowed to pass through the curtain, so I inquired and found out that Prince Cheng wanted to take a shortcut to Yuedeng Pavilion to play Cuju."

"Become a prince?"

"Yes." Du Tinglan cried for a while and became calmer, slowly recalling, "At that time, several carts were blocked outside the forest. I knew that it was impossible to break through, so I had to leave with the red slave. Unexpectedly, I passed by the bamboo forest.

On the west side, I found that there was no curtain at the west entrance. Lu Zhaoan and I were meeting at the northwest corner, so we turned back and there was no one blocking the west side of the bamboo forest."

Teng Yuyi secretly thought, so it turns out that Lin Chengyou ordered the forest to be sealed off, but her sister was still able to enter the forest.

"Hongnu and I waited in the forest for a while, but Lu Zhaoan never appeared. The bamboo forest was so dark that I became scared and was about to leave along the same path. At this moment, a woman's laughter floated from the treetops. I looked up.

, I saw a huge black thing squatting silently on the treetop. Before we could call for help, the thing pounced down. What happened next... I don’t know."

Du Tinglan's face suddenly turned pale as she recalled that horrifying scene. Mrs. Du patted and comforted her, and it took a long time for Du Tinglan to calm down.

Teng Yuyi said in a cold voice: "Sister, did you see Lu Zhaoan in the bamboo forest at that time?"

Du Tinglan was still frightened, and shook his head and said: "It's too dark in the bamboo forest. To identify the road in the forest, you must bring a lantern. However, when Hong Nu and I had the accident, we neither heard the sound of people nor saw any lights nearby.

It can be seen that Lu Zhaoan either has no intention of keeping the appointment at all, or has not arrived at the bamboo forest yet."

Teng Yuyi sneered and said: "When Duan Fu and I went in, we didn't see anyone else except the monster. After we rescued my cousin, no one was snooping or wandering around."

Mrs. Du was so angry that she trembled all over: "What a coward! I guess he either ran away long ago or hid aside."

She glared at Du Tinglan with red eyes: "What do you want me to say? The usually well-behaved child is carrying my parents on my back... That's all, I still fall in love with such a shameless person!"

How could Du Tinglan not regret it? She had made a mistake with her infatuation and almost lost her life. She burst into tears and said sadly: "I can teach my daughter any way I want. Every mistake is my daughter's fault. I am sorry."

Don't hurt your body."

Even though Mrs. Du was annoyed, she finally felt that her daughter had been wronged. She glared at her for a while, then hugged Du Tinglan into her arms, and both mother and daughter began to cry.

Teng Yuyi's eyes were cold. This man was not a coward, he was clearly a ruthless and gentle scum. If his cousin and the red slave were really killed by Lu Zhaoan in his previous life, this time he saw someone doing it for him, and he might be getting what he wanted.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that Lin Chengyou was passing by the bamboo forest at that time. If the monster was also in the forest, with Lin Chengyou's way of doing things, it would be impossible not to detect it. Therefore, the thing should have sneaked in after Lin Chengyou left.

In such a short period of time, the old tree demon discovered the whereabouts of his cousin and the red slave and attacked them. Is it too much of a coincidence?

If you want to find beautiful women as prey, why not go to a crowded place, but choose a secluded place like that?

Unfortunately, before the old demon could explain the matter clearly, he was disturbed by a strange thunder and was beaten into his original shape by Lin Chengyou.

"We must not let this bastard go." Mrs. Du said bitterly, "Not to mention that those letters of yours are still in Lu Zhaoan's hands. It's still unclear whether what happened that night has anything to do with him. I have to tell your grandpa about it.

Let your grandpa make a good idea."

While they were talking, Du Yuzhi and Du Shaotang came. Mrs. Du didn't wait for the father and son to look at Du Tinglan, and told them what had just happened.

Du Yuzhi rolled his eyes and passed away on the spot.

Mrs. Du and Du Shaotang pinched each other fiercely for a while, and then Du Yuzhi slowly woke up.

Du Tinglan was so guilty that she almost fell off the couch if Teng Yuyi hadn't stopped her.

Du Yuzhi was so angry that he didn't bother to teach his daughter a lesson, so he scolded Lu Zhaoan first.

He served in the Imperial College and had read Lu Zhaoan's poems and essays after the results were announced. At that time, he felt that he was very powerful and expected that this person was very ambitious, but he turned out to be a despicable person.

"If I weren't afraid of ruining Lan'er's reputation, I would expose this person's character tomorrow. How could the court tolerate such a bastard? Let me think about what crime to use, yes, if the loan is not repaid, tomorrow I will

First, we will sue Lu Zhaoan to the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the grounds that he failed to repay the loan. By then, let alone passing the selection examination, this villain may not even be able to keep his reputation."

Mrs. Du was surprised and said: "I can't even produce an IOU, so I sue you for no reason. Not only will Lu Zhaoan not be able to plead guilty, I'm afraid he will also frame me against him."

Du Yuzhi paused: "I'm confused! Then go ahead and investigate. A villain like him has been in Chang'an for more than three months, and there will always be misbehavior. Once I find the mistake, I will immediately find the boss of Yushitai."

If my friend impeaches him, as long as he can be defeated, it will be regarded as a traitor to the imperial court. I will also send a letter to Yangzhou and make sure to find out all about this person's behavior in Yangzhou."

Du Shaotang has always had a close relationship with his sister. Ever since he entered the house, he has been wringing his sister's handkerchief with red eyes. Hearing what his father said, he became excited: "Son, I'll go find someone right now. No, there's no need to go to such trouble. I'll do it right away."

Find someone to cover this bastard’s head with a cloth bag and beat him up.”

Mrs. Du shouted: "Come back! Be careful, we have exposed this person, and we have this person in our hands at the right time. Don't let us get angry when the time comes, and get you in instead. Even if we want to teach that person a lesson, it's your grandfather who should step forward."

Du Shaotang was discouraged and stomped his feet softly: "This won't work, and that won't work either, so what should I do?"

As he spoke, he squatted in front of his sister's bed, completely out of ideas.

Teng Yuyi secretly thought that her uncle and Shaotang were all thinking of superficial methods, but when dealing with a villain like Lu Zhaoan, ordinary methods were not feasible.

Zheng Pushe was a cautious person. Before marrying his only daughter to Lu Zhaoan in his previous life, he must have done a thorough investigation. The Zheng family has so many disciples that even the Zheng family could not find out anything wrong with Lu Zhaoan. This shows that this person

How good at covering up he is.

Perhaps Lu Zhaoan's only flaw was his cousin, so when he got married to the Zheng family in his previous life, he was eager to erase this.

Du Yuzhi said angrily: "Don't be afraid, I will go out and make arrangements right away."

Teng Yu said coldly: "Uncle, how do you plan to plan this matter?"

Du Yuzhi said angrily: "Let Dong'er find someone and hire eight or nine people from the market to find out everything Lu Zhaoan has done in the past few months!"

"A good idea. But my uncle has never dealt with people in the market. Do you need to check their background before hiring people?"

Du Yuzhi was stunned: "This..."

"Hiring so many people to investigate is really a big expense. If no clues are found in ten and a half months, when will the results be complete?"

Du Yuzhi stroked his beard frequently: "Then keep investigating! As long as we can teach that bastard a lesson, we can sell some of our products!"

Teng Yu said meaningfully: "Then where will my uncle start to investigate, and how will he negotiate with those people in the market?"

Du Yuzhi snorted: "I personally took action, I don't believe I can't arrange this properly."

Teng Yuyi had a headache. Her uncle appeared to be strong and tough, but in reality he was naive. If he were to come forward in person, the matter would definitely go wrong.

She said: "Such a scoundrel is a double-edged sword when used. When there are more people, there will be more confusion. If my uncle is unable to control them, not only will he not be able to catch Lu Zhaoan, but he will probably get into trouble."

"

Du Yuzhi and Mrs. Du were horrified. Yes, they were not afraid of anything else but that Lan'er's privacy would be leaked.

Teng Yuyi said seriously: "I have something to say. I wonder if my uncle is willing to listen to it."

Du Yuzhi waved his hand impatiently: "But it doesn't matter."

"Can you leave this matter to my grandpa's subordinates to investigate?"

Du Yuzhi raised his head in surprise, and Teng Yuyi smiled and said: "The longer this matter is delayed, the worse it will be for my sister. My uncle's subordinates have been in the army for a long time and have their own way of dealing with evil people. Let them deploy earlier to avoid causing other troubles."

."

Du Yuzhi was hesitant. His salary was only enough to support his family. In order to save money, he had already dismissed many of his servants. There were only a few servants at home, all of whom were old, weak, women and children. If he ignored the money he spent hiring people in the West Market,

It is indeed not a decimal.

Besides, what Ayu said makes sense. He has never dealt with people in the market. Even if he went to the West Market to look for him temporarily, all the bastards he found were naughty and scoundrel. If Lan'er's reputation was ruined by their words, it would be a big deal.

The gain outweighs the loss.

Teng Yuyi waited patiently for her uncle to relent. It was normal for her uncle to have a good temperament and not to lose face, but when it came to important matters involving her children, her uncle would never lose his temper.

Du Tinglan had been silently wiping her tears. Seeing that her father could not make up his mind, he softly persuaded: "Master, Ayu and uncle are not outsiders. There are many difficulties in talking about this matter. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I need to make a decision early."

."

Teng Yuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her cousin's temperament was far more lenient than her uncle's, but she was the most decisive in the family.

Mrs. Du nodded and said: "What Yu'er and Lan'er said is that they are afraid that failing to find a handle on Lu Zhaoan will harm Lan'er. Master, just do as Yu'er said and leave this matter to my brother-in-law's old subordinates.

Bar."

Du Yuzhi sighed heavily: "That's all, I blame my incompetence."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly realized that these words were misleading. He cleared his throat and said uncomfortably: "Yu'er, I leave everything to you."

Teng Yuyi stood up and folded her clothes in return: "There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with my uncle and aunt in advance. Lu Zhaoan originally avoided seeing his cousin, but last night he made an unprecedented appointment with his cousin to go to the bamboo forest. Later, his cousin bumped into the monster, and Lu Zhaoan escaped in such a timely manner. This matter

Upon closer inspection, there are many suspicious things.”

Mrs. Du and Du Yuzhi were surprised and doubtful: "Do you suspect that the monster has something to do with Lu Zhaoan?"

Teng Yuyi snorted: "There is no conclusion yet on this matter, but Lu Zhaoan just made an appointment with his cousin to go to the bamboo forest, and the monster appeared. If you say it was a pure coincidence, I don't believe it. Today's saints hate evil demons the most. If Lu Zhaoan can be found out,

If you attract evil spirits and harm others, this person's career will be ruined, and he will never be able to stay in Chang'an City in the future."

Du Shaotang perked up and ran to Teng Yuyi and said, "Cousin Yu, how should we check?"

"We don't understand Taoism, but fortunately, someone is already investigating. As long as we find a way to make this person suspicious of Lu Zhaoan, we won't be afraid of not being able to find out the truth."

Everyone in the room said in unison: "Who is that person?"
To be continued...
