After Cui Xiaodong and Wang Furong left, Lu Ming had dinner and took a shower before returning to the dormitory.
After the owner of this place changed, it was cleaned and repainted, and all the furniture and so on are new.
The moon-shaped bed with red curtains was polished by Mo Dou Chen, the best carpenter in the county, who took him half a month to finish it. The intricate carving technique is extraordinary, and the mosaics of red sandalwood and rosewood are polished to be delicate, soft and smooth like jade. Even the four cloud patterns that represent good luck and fortune exude a sense of magnificence.
Lu Ming pulled aside the curtain and got on the bed, lying comfortably on the soft Simmons mattress. The combination of classic and modern was extremely comfortable.
This Modou Chen is very good. There are many masters among the people. I will hire a very good carpenter from Donghai to work on my mansion.
And where did Lao Chai and the others go? We need to send more people to Sansha Town, especially to protect my sister-in-law and Yaya.
As I was lost in thought, my consciousness gradually became blurred.
Suddenly, Lu Ming opened his eyes abruptly because he felt a slight pain in his neck.
"Don't move, don't make any noise, or I'll kill you!"
An extremely cold voice came to my ears.
Lu Ming turned his head and saw a ball of red cloud curled up next to him. The pretty face was covered with a layer of frost and looked at him coldly. On his neck, an extremely sharp, colorful, gold-plated fingertip was gently moving, as if it could cut his aorta at any time.
It was Mrs. Red Jackal.
Lu Ming was stunned. How did she get in
Heitou was sleeping in the outer room. According to Bizhu, Heitou's overall combat capability was not necessarily weaker than Sun Bo's, but he was much worse in close combat. In addition, Sun Bo was an expert in close combat, so even if a fly flew in, both of them should be alert.
"I can fly and hide underground, so it's easy for me to kill you. Your lackeys are nothing but chickens and dogs!" Mrs. Hong Chai's very cold voice came to his ears. Obviously, she guessed what Lu Ming was thinking.
From the corner of his eye, Lu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin red pillowcase next to the pillow. Just now, it was just a soft red pillow.
Speaking of which, after I went to bed, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable looking at the red pillow next to me, but I didn’t think much about it.
Really
Mrs. Red Jackal had sneaked in a long time ago? And then, she had been hiding in the pillow
She had sneaked in before she and her group arrived at Sansha Town, so she was not discovered.
Although blackheads check their bedroom before going to bed, who would care about the two small pillows on the bed
This is the only possibility, which is why she got close to him.
However, glancing at the small pillowcase, Lu Ming felt helpless. Was this the legendary bone-shrinking skill? It was really hard to guard against.
Since I met Bizhu, I don’t seem to be surprised by these things anymore.
However, although this vixen has an extremely petite body, if she wants to shrink into a small pillow, her body size must be reduced to at least one third. This clavicle secret technique is indeed magical.
"You have some sneaky thoughts. You say he is the most famous lawyer in East China Sea? I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it may not be just a rumor." Madam Hong Chai obviously saw Lu Ming kept glancing at the pillowcase, and knew that he had guessed it, so she couldn't help but look at Lu Ming more seriously.
Lu Ming frowned slightly and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. However, his lips formed the words, "Do you know who I am?"
"Lu Qianxing, right?" Madam Hong Chai's voice was extremely cold, "You still cherish your life! You have a quick wit!"
Lu Ming vaguely felt that Madam Red Chai was different from the previous times. This time, she was murderous and extremely cold.
It seemed like he was in a bad mood and had experienced some major setback.
"Your identity was revealed by the Hu family!"
Lu Ming nodded. So that's how it is. He didn't think he could keep it a secret from the Hu family forever. After all, he came with bad intentions, and they would investigate him seriously. In addition, he had a lawyer's license here, and his image was also mentioned in some old newspapers and magazines in Donghai, and he had even appeared on live TV.
It was only a matter of time before the Hu family discovered his true identity, but they knew it so quickly, which meant that this Hu family was indeed not simple.
"If you want to stay alive, first, I need antibacterial cream, the more the better! Second, you come with me and find a way to help my brother escape punishment!"
Lu Ming was stunned. The antibacterial cream was the penicillin of this world. It seemed that there were seriously injured people in the Jackal Gang.
He opened his mouth and said, "You have no chance of winning the lawsuit."
The voice in my ear snorted coldly, "What do you know? My brother has never done anything evil. It was not my Jackal Gang who slaughtered Mr. Li's family. It was Hu Dingjin who did it. He left the Jackal Gang mark. Mr. Li is my brother's benefactor. My brother is a great hero. How could he repay kindness with enmity?"
Although the red jackal and the old jackal are married, it is said that they have always treated each other as brother and sister.
Lu Ming continued to lip-sync, "After years of being a bandit, the accumulation of what you consider to be minor crimes is enough to be hanged. What you consider to be minor crimes may not really be minor."
Mrs. Red Jackal was silent.
After a while, her voice rang in Lu Ming's ears again, "The last time I used the silver needle, the medicine was only for paralysis, I didn't want to kill you. If I have offended you, I am willing to apologize to you."
Lu Ming was stunned. It seemed that she had deep feelings for Lao Chai. For the sake of Lao Chai, she, who had always been so arrogant, actually gave in and apologized.
He opened his mouth and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm serious. There's no way to win the lawsuit against Lao Chai. Of course, if he goes to Donghai with me to surrender and ask for leniency, and find a suitable judge, he might be sentenced to several hundred years in prison without parole. He can keep his life, but he will have to live in prison for the rest of his life." He added, "I can't lie to you when you ask me about legal issues just to get you to let me go. There's really no way to win the lawsuit against him."
Mrs. Red Jackal's face gradually darkened.
"I tried to talk to you nicely, but you kept making excuses. If you are so cunning, don't blame me! If you become a walking corpse in the future, you can't blame anyone else!"
"Come, come, come, look into my eyes..." The voice in Lu Ming's ear suddenly became extremely charming, making Lu Ming look over involuntarily.
Before my eyes, it seemed as if everything had ceased to exist, leaving only a pair of beautiful watery eyes, shining with a different light, filling the space between heaven and earth.
Lu Ming felt dizzy and extremely sleepy, and he yawned involuntarily.
Those beautiful eyes suddenly burst into light, like the final explosion of a star burning to the end, and then, suddenly, it was extremely dark and spun, like a strange black hole, sucking people's souls in.
Lu Ming was suddenly startled. Hypnosis
My mind suddenly became clear, and the scenery before my eyes gradually became clear again.
But then he heard a scream, and the curled up Hongyun beside him fell backwards, and Madam Hongcai fell beside him, her pretty face as pale as paper, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Master?" "Master?"
As the door opened slightly, two figures, one old and one young, appeared in front of the red gauze curtain. They were Heitou and Sun Bo, both of whom had come to the bed.
Of course, both of them heard Mrs. Red Jackal's screams.
"Oh, I'm fine! Blackhead, come up and take a look."
Lu Ming looked at Madam Red Jackal lying beside him in bewilderment. Was it because she didn't master the secret technique well enough that she had gone overboard
Hearing that his master was indeed not in any trouble, Heitou did not rush into the tent. Instead, he looked at his clothes and, after confirming that they were clean, he took off his shoes, carefully lifted a corner of the red tent, put his little head in, and knelt on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that the witch was beside Lu Ming, Heitou was stunned for a moment, and rushed in, with the pistol in his hand pressed against Madam Hongcai's forehead. He looked at her limp state with blood at the corner of her mouth, and asked curiously, "What happened to her?" Then he said with shame, "Master, please punish her first, and then punish me!"
Lu Ming waved his hand, "It's none of your business. She sneaked in before we arrived at Sansha!"
Looking at Mrs. Red Jackal, "Hey, are you okay?!"
Madam Red Jackal's eyes were dull and she looked dazed. She said woodenly, "It's the master's turn to attack. Just take a break."
Lu Ming didn't know what she was talking about, so he asked, "What do you want? Where's the old jackal?"
"Three miles away, northwest, in an abandoned mine." Mrs. Red Jackal answered whenever she was asked, but her expression was dull, as if she didn't know what she was doing.
Abandoned mine to the northwest? Three miles away? There is one there.
"Old Jackal is in there. How many people are there in total?" Lu Ming asked.
"Two people, Senior Brother is here, Tielang is here, Tielang is seriously injured and needs medicine."
"Where are the others?" Lu Ming asked again.
"They rebelled, died, and the rest went into the mountains, waiting to be called."
Lu Ming was slightly stunned. It seemed that there was a serious internal conflict within the Jackal Gang
Looking at Mrs. Red Jackal who is now like a puppet, it seems that she has really gone crazy. Originally, this secret technique might turn herself into her puppet. Moreover, according to what she said, it might seriously damage the brain and she would become a walking corpse afterwards.
However, she is not good at the secret technique and has gone astray, so whatever you ask her, she should tell the truth.
But still be cautious.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said, "Heitou, keep an eye on her. But this guy can shrink bones, so ropes and handcuffs may not work. Just keep an eye on her all the time."
As he spoke, Lu Ming stood up and opened the tent curtain. "Uncle Sun, call Lei Bao and the others to gather some people and go to the abandoned mine in the small woods three miles northwest to see if the old jackal is there. He said there is a seriously injured soldier. Bring them all back, but check carefully to see if there is an ambush." He added, "First check the area near the town to prevent them from luring the tiger away from the mountain."
Sun Bo responded and left.
…
The sky was full of stars. In the backyard, Lu Ming was looking at a skinny old man who was tied up in front of him. Although he was tied up, he seemed as steady as a rock, as if the whole world was under his feet. He didn't have the slightest discouragement of a captive.
Sun Bo said that the old jackal did not resist. When he saw that he was surrounded, he raised his hands in surrender and said that there were wounded people in the cave and people should not shoot randomly.
The injured person was a man as big as an iron tower, Tielang, one of the Thirteen Guardians. He was now handcuffed and shackled, but he was also being treated for the gunshot wound.
"Master Jackal, you bully the common people, so you are not a hero. But considering that you are old, I will give you special treatment." Lu Ming said, waving his hand.
Sun Bo went up to untie his rope and kicked a wooden block in front of him.
The old jackal didn't want to sit down at first, but when he saw Sun Bo's gesture, he thought about it and sat down.
He seemed much shorter than Lu Ming, and his previous aura was gone.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ming shook his head: "Although you may have committed some crimes in the past that were framed by others, you are also guilty of many crimes. Therefore, at dawn, I will deport you to the sheriff of the district office. You will get a fair trial in this district court. You can't deny your crimes. If it's not your crime, no one can frame you!"
The old jackal sighed softly, "What joy is there in life, and what pain is there in death? I didn't fall into the hands of the barbarians, nor did I fall into the hands of the rebellious son. Instead, I finally became the credit of Boss Lu. I have no regrets!"
Lu Ming pondered, "If you can persuade the bandits in your mountain to lay down their weapons and surrender, it will be a great achievement. Otherwise, they will definitely come to the court to rob the prison, and then there will be corpses everywhere, which will only increase the killing."
"Chen Qifa betrayed you. I heard that you only have five or six old brothers left. Can you bear to see them die?"
The old jackal remained silent.
“Brother, I, I’m sorry…” Over there, Heitou was escorting the handcuffed Madam Red Jackal out. When she saw the old jackal, her pretty face immediately turned red with tears, filled with grief and guilt.
The old jackal smiled bitterly: "How can it be your business? I asked you to come here. Besides, I just hope there is a chance of survival."
Looking at Lu Ming, "Boss Lu, can I talk to you alone?"
Lu Ming nodded and waved his hand.
Soon, there were only three people left in the backyard.
Lu Ming, the old jackal, and Sun Bo standing next to the old jackal.
The old jackal sighed softly, "Hu Dingshan may look rough, but he is actually cunning and vicious. I didn't expect that my adopted son Chen Qifa had been bribed by him. When the security team raided this morning, the traitor did not turn against us. He was after my secret treasure. When we fled, he listened to my orders and asked Tielang to lead people to dig out the gold, silver and gems that I have collected for many years. After hearing the location, he and a group of rebels secretly occupied the crossfire position and suddenly opened fire."
"In fact, at that moment, I died!"
The old jackal looked up at the dark sky, wondering what he was thinking. Was it the tragic scene of his old brothers lying in a pool of blood when they were deserted by their friends and relatives? Or was it the high spirits when they became sworn brothers
Lu Ming nodded silently. He had met Chen Qifa, the Sky-Drilling Fox, in court before and had a bad impression of him at that time.
This old jackal was betrayed by his adopted son, and almost all of his loyal son and subordinates were wiped out.
Except for Tielang who was seriously injured and seeking medical treatment here, the only remaining people who entered the mountain were two bodyguards and three pilgrims.
It can be said that the Jackal Gang, which once called the shots in Longgang, has disappeared into thin air.
No wonder, the old jackal has already lost all hope.
"As for the rest of my troops, I will send a letter to ask them to come down the mountain. Boss Lu, please consider pardoning them."
The old jackal finally turned his head and looked at Lu Ming earnestly.
He added: "Boss Lu, judging from what you have done, you are different from the Hu family. I hope I am not wrong about you."
Lu Ming pondered, "If you confess all your previous crimes without a single lie, I will be your lawyer and try my best to reduce your sentence within the scope of the law."
The old jackal was stunned and looked at Lu Ming in surprise.
Lu Ming could see his confusion but said nothing. This was also an opportunity to popularize the law in the local area. However, there was no need to tell others about this intention.
The old jackal was stunned for a moment, "And my adopted sister..."
"My sister has a very hard life. She has been raised like a skinny horse since she was young. If she does something wrong, she will be whipped and beaten..." The old jackal sighed softly, "Now, the one who worries me the most is her..."
The old jackal raised his head and said, "Boss Lu, she has never killed anyone. Even if she was a bad guy or fighting for territory with other bandits, I have never asked her to fight and kill anyone. For this, she was once very dissatisfied."
"Now, she has turned from evil to good and reported me to the authorities to have me arrested. In theory, even if she made minor mistakes in the past, she should be pardoned, right?"
After listening to what Lao Chai said earlier, Lu Ming originally wanted to say that even if a group of civilians beat up others and someone in the group did not take action, you may not be without responsibility if you did not try to stop them, because just by standing there you are a member of the gang, and are a deterrent to the bullied or those who want to stop the fight.
What about gangs? If you join a gang, even if you have done nothing wrong, you are still guilty.
But after hearing what the old jackal said next, Lu Ming was slightly stunned. There was some truth in what he said.
In fact, how could the Black Six gang be innocent? Didn't they all get pardoned
This is the operating principle of the Montenegrin world. It is not appropriate to directly introduce East China Sea laws. After all, here, people are often so poor that they cannot survive.
Not to mention the present, just talk about my past life. Before and after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, many bandits, war criminals, etc. with blood debts were also pardoned.
In such a world, the laws and values of an era of peace and prosperity cannot be applied.
The rich man sighed again and said, "However, even if my sister is pardoned, she will not be able to escape the disaster, because Hu Dingjin has set his sights on her. I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that my sister has a secret skill, and whoever breaks her virginity can prolong his life. Hu Dingjin heard this rumor, and heard someone describe my sister's appearance, so he asked me to offer my sister to him. I refused, so he made trouble. Otherwise, I would seek revenge on him. Although he knew it long ago, he has been forbearing. He probably wanted to use me to do some bloody jobs for him, and then take the opportunity to get rid of me, killing several birds with one stone. Although this man is young, he is really cunning and scary."
Lu Ming listened and nodded silently.
Glancing at Lu Ming, the old jackal said, "Boss Lu, my sister is really a virgin. I always sleep in separate rooms like her brothers and sisters, and I have never touched her. I am not interested in women." He paused, "I haven't been sentenced yet. Now, according to the law here, I am still an innocent person, so I have the right to dispose of my property. I have never married my sister, so she is my concubine. Now, I will give her to Boss Lu. I heard that Boss Lu has fifteen wives, so my sister will reluctantly become Boss Lu's sixteenth confidante!"
Lu Ming shook his head. Why does this world like to give concubines to others? He was almost numb to this kind of scene.
He laughed and said, "Old jackal, you are wrong. You robbed her and brought her to the mountain. If she is really your concubine and property, then she is also stolen goods. You can't give her away."
"In the East China Sea, she will automatically regain her freedom. According to the laws here, she should be returned to the family that raised her as a skinny horse."
The old jackal was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Boss Lu, I certainly cannot win the argument with you in terms of the law, but you should understand what I mean. In fact, although she is extremely unruly, if she really follows Boss Lu, she will definitely become Boss Lu's right-hand man."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Forget it, but I won't watch her being abducted by the Hu family. I promise you that."
The old jackal looked at Lu Ming's expression and thought for a moment, "Boss Lu, I want to meet her, is that ok?"
Lu Ming nodded: "But my people must be present."
…
In the flower hall, Madam Red Chai was in a daze.
Sun Bo came in and said that the old jackal wanted to see her, but she was completely unaware.
She thought about many past events.
Childhood memories.
She was ignorant before being kidnapped to the mountain by her sworn brother. But when she was competing with her sworn brother in gunfire, suddenly, as if she had an epiphany, a memory flooded into her mind.
Those various secret techniques, and the master who taught them to him.
I was born to be the emperor's weak spot.
This is what the master said to me when he was passing on his skills to me before he died.
I never understood the meaning of this sentence, but my master said that I would understand it when I met the Chosen One.
If she doesn't meet him, she will have to remain a virgin for the rest of her life, and when the time comes, she will choose a successor, just like the master did, and follow his instructions, teaching all the secret skills to the successor, and then pass on the skills to her, asking her to continue waiting for the birth of the chosen one.
The successor to his school of secret arts must be extremely petite. In this era, it is best to choose one from young and thin horses.
Sometimes I feel that this master is just an illusion, but some of his secret skills are real. Although, they are of no use and more like tricks. In terms of power, they are not as good as the marksmanship I have practiced. I can kill anyone I meet or a Buddha.
But today, I suddenly knew that I had finally met him, the chosen one with a terrifying aura.
It was as if I had to submit to him.
Seeing him now, I feel fear in my heart, and I tremble from my hands and feet to my body and mind, as if it is a kind of suppression coming from my soul and blood.
I used to hate seeing him. Was it just a subconscious fear
