Luo Shangyang was not arrogant. From the moment he saw Zuo Yuxi, his mind was racing to figure out how to solve today's dilemma. When Fan Mingzhu appeared next to Luo Yun, he had already found out her identity. He had advised Luo Yun that this woman was troublesome and dangerous, and it was best to stay away from her. However, Luo Yun was nicknamed "Lingyang Mule" because he was extremely lustful and could not have sex without women every night. There was a rumor in Lingyang that he had sex with eight women at night, and he was still full of energy and refreshed the next morning.
Putting aside the obvious propaganda elements in the rumors, we can still draw a conclusion that Luo Yun is lustful, and not just ordinary lustful!
But Fan Mingzhu has nothing but beauty, and her beauty is enough to bring disaster to the country and the people!
Hearing Zuo Yuxi call his name, Luo Shangyang did not dare to be negligent no matter how hesitant he was. He hurried over, pulled Dou Xiao behind him, and said with a smile: "Director Zuo, what a coincidence, it's a little dark in the hall, I really didn't notice you just now, sorry, sorry."
No matter how capable he was, he was still a minor bureaucrat under Zuo Jing. Seeing that Zuo Yuxi was just trying to trick him, he had to behave himself.
Dou Xiao thought Luo Shangyang's old illness had recurred, so he touched his prickly head and said carelessly, "Brother Luo, what are you afraid of? Director, this is just a request. I will take care of anything that happens..."
Luo Shangyang said anxiously, "You are talking nonsense again. This is Secretary Zuo's daughter, Director Zuo of the Qingzhou Education Bureau. Why don't you admit your mistake quickly?"
Dou Xiao's eyes suddenly widened: "Ah, she is that old man Zuo Jing..."
Before he could say anything, Luo Shangyang covered his mouth with one hand, leaned over to his ear and growled, "Do you want to kill Mayor Dou?"
Dou Xiao's prestige all came from the mayor, Dou Wenbo, so in order to make this fool surrender, he had to attack his weak spot directly, and Luo Shangyang knew this very well. As expected, Dou Xiao's eyes froze, and he immediately shut up obediently.
Fan Mingzhu's body shook violently, and after a moment she let out a piercing scream as if her throat was being strangled: "Zuo Yuxi?"
Zuo Yuxi's expression was indifferent, not even a glance from the corner of his eyes drifted over, completely ignoring her existence!
Fan Mingzhu's fingers were shaking with anger and her face turned a sickly red, making people worry that she would pounce on them and eat them alive the next moment.
Luo Shangyang felt a severe headache, as if he was trying to suppress one problem but it created another. Compared with Dou Xiao, Fan Mingzhu was the real time bomb, who might explode with a bang inside this temple on the top of the mountain, and everyone would be torn to pieces!
Brother, if you don’t change your lustful habits, you will ruin this foundation sooner or later!
He made a prompt decision and said in a deep voice: "Miss Fan, we are here to ask for divination today. Since Taoist Li has already given you the divination, it is getting late. We should go down the mountain!" Then he pushed Dou Xiao's shoulder and said, "Go, the mountain road is not easy to walk on, help Miss Fan!"
If it were any other scared person, he would know that it was called "helping", but it was actually "pulling", and he had to get down no matter what. But Dou Xiao was always arrogant, and he was a little afraid of Zuo Jing. How could Zuo Yuxi, a delicate girl, be so scared
"Brother Luo, why are you so anxious? Sister Fan has asked, but I haven't asked yet!" Dou Xiao's eyes wandered wantonly over Zuo Yuxi. He beckoned to the sloppy Taoist with one hand and said, "Blind man, come and tell your fortune. If I don't go down the mountain today, what can she do to me?"
The sloppy Taoist didn't care. There was a tradition among Taoists to call each other "Master". Although Dou Xiao was not a Taoist, it was okay for him to call himself Master. He smiled slightly, which should have shown the meaning of moonlight and breeze, but his fish eyes were bulging, his face was pointed and tilted downward, and his face was really disgusting. He said: "In the second month of spring, at the time of Shen, a good man stretched out his five fingers, and it formed the Jie hexagram. This hexagram is ominous, it is better to move than to stay still; the changing hexagram is Tun, this hexagram is trapped, it is better to defend than to advance. In my opinion, the good man should go down the mountain!"
Wen Liang was distracted. This was the Plum Blossom Divination, which was easy to learn but difficult to master. However, seeing the Taoist doing it effortlessly and waiting for the hexagram to be formed, it seemed that he had already reached the level of perfection.
But ordinary people like to hear good things instead of bad things. People like Dou Xiao are so vulgar that they can't be more vulgar. He angrily said, "Fuck you. I just stretched out my finger and it's a bad omen? Are you blind?"
After cursing, he remembered that the Taoist was really blind, and suddenly asked in confusion: "No, you are blind, how do you know that I stretched out my hand, and stretched out five fingers? Damn it, is he a fake Taoist who pretends to be blind and deceives people?"
Luo Shangyang had seen all kinds of sorcerers in the Public Security Department, including fortune tellers and diviners. They were all good at understanding people's psychology and reading people's expressions. They set baits and traps to get your words little by little, and then guess and guess based on the words. He could get four or five out of ten right and immediately fool the other party into believing him.
So when Fan Mingzhu asked for divination just now, he had been paying close attention. Blind Li asked three questions and made a divination, saying that Fan Mingzhu came for the grievances of the world. At first glance, it seemed very accurate, but if you pay attention, you can find the flaws. The Taoist first asked "Where are you from?" Fan Mingzhu answered "Qingzhou", then asked "Where do you live now?", then answered "Lingyang", and finally asked "Are you seeking marriage, career, health, family, or something else?"
Fan Mingzhu was silent for a while, then said, "Others!"
Then the Taoist asked Fan Mingzhu to silently recite what she wanted to ask and who she wanted to ask, and then randomly say a number. She chose "4"!
This series of questions seemed simple, but each of them had its own secrets. When talking about Qingzhou, Fan Mingzhu's tone was obviously nostalgic, and when talking about Lingyang, she could not hide her loneliness and confusion. From these two sentences alone, we can infer that a woman left her hometown abnormally, either to get married or to have an accident, so the Taoist asked about marriage, future, health, and family, with a deliberate pause of two or three seconds between each word. For the first three words, Fan Mingzhu's breathing did not change at all, and she was indifferent to the point of being terrifying. When she heard about her family, she obviously had a quick breath, but it was fleeting.
A person who doesn't want marriage, a future, health, or even family, has come all the way from Lingyang. The reason he asked for the divination is actually very obvious!
Therefore, the Taoist gave the last option at the right time: others!
Fan Mingzhu chose other numbers, and then under the guidance of the Taoist, he said "4". 4 has many meanings for people who understand Plum Blossom Divination, but for ordinary people, the most common meaning is "death"!
As long as you understand these, your magical impression of the Taoist will be greatly reduced. Luo Shangyang has sharp eyes and a very sharp mind, otherwise, Dou Xiao, who is the second in command, would not be so obedient to him.
But this is not Lingyang, he has no good feelings towards Fan Mingzhu, so he didn't say anything, and let the blind Taoist talk nonsense. The blind Taoist was also tactful, and he heard that he was the one who had the final say among the three, so he made up some nonsense to scare Dou Xiao - this is where he does business, so naturally he doesn't want to see anyone get into a conflict.
Seeing that Dou Xiao was going to grab the Taoist priest and pry open his eyelids to see whether he was real or not, Luo Shangyang really wanted to kick him to death, but because of his identity, he couldn't kick him no matter what.
"How famous is Immortal Li? If you don't listen to me, don't you even listen to the words of the immortal?"
Luo Shangyang held his hand, and Dou Xiao said disapprovingly: "Brother Luo, this fake blind man is a god, wait until I peel his skin off and show you what a god is like!"
"Okay, okay. As your brother, I can't control you. When we get back to Lingyang, we'll go our separate ways and pretend we don't have any contact with each other anymore!"
Dou Xiao was shocked. He had tried countless things with Luo Shangyang that he had never tried before. It was like taking drugs, and he developed a strange dependence on them. He nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll listen to Brother Luo. I'll leave right away, right away!"
Luo Shangyang was really afraid that this rascal would just walk away without caring about anything. He had put in so much effort to get a hold of Dou Wenbo's pulse, how could he let it go to waste because of such a small matter
Dou Xiao is willing to give in, this is the best outcome!
"Director Zuo, we will go down the mountain immediately so as not to interrupt your conversation with Immortal Li! When you are free to come to Lingyang another day, we will come to your house to apologize."
Fan Mingzhu, who had been standing in the hall, said sternly, "Chief Luo, have you asked me what I mean? Is this what Luo Yun told you to do?"
Luo Shangyang suppressed his unhappiness and said, "Miss Fan, it's really late now. We have things to do when we return to Lingyang in the evening. You don't want to let Brother wait for us, right?"
Just because he couldn't let Luo Yun wait, Fan Mingzhu, who was about to lose control, became silent! Qingzhou An, Lingyang Mule, how terrible is Luo Yun, who is as famous as An Baoqing
The hall fell into a deathly silence. After a long while, Fan Mingzhu slowly walked over, staring straight at Zuo Yuxi, and said, "So beautiful! You are ten times more beautiful than I heard, no, dozens of times more beautiful! Zuo Yuxi, I'm wondering, if one day, such a beautiful face was slashed with dozens of knife scars and became more terrifying than the ugliest evil spirit in hell, would you still be so arrogant and hold your head up without even looking at me?"
She was powerless, so she threatened him with words. Zuo Yuxi would never take such a low-level method seriously. She still treated her as air and turned to Wen Liang and asked, "Is this a threat?"
"No, this is a threat to your life, the situation is already very serious!" Wen Liang said coldly: "Call the police, let the Qingzhou police ask Miss Fan how long the criminal action against Director Zuo has been planned, who is involved, and when it is going to be implemented. Miss Fan looks so delicate, don't be so arrogant when you enter the Public Security Bureau. There are all kinds of people in there, and they are not as easy to talk to as us!"
When Wen Liang mentioned "who were involved", he glanced at Luo Shangyang seemingly casually, but the implication made Luo Shangyang shudder. He then looked at Wen Liang carefully and remembered his appearance firmly in his mind. He knew nothing about such a powerful person. All his attention in these years was on Guanshan, and he knew too little about Qingzhou.
Zuo Yuxi took out his cell phone in response. Luo Shangyang was forced into a desperate situation. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to react! (To be continued.
