Way of the Devil

Chapter 27: Recruit one

Views:

A group of people carried Lu Sheng to the bedroom, and invited a special doctor from the Lu family to check.

After the doctor entered the room, he came out after a while.

"It's nothing serious, it's just physical exhaustion, plus the lower abdomen was hit hard. The eldest son is physically strong, so it's nothing if he didn't hurt his internal organs."

Lu Quanan breathed a sigh of relief.

This time Lu Sheng did it himself, it was a bit reckless.

As the eldest son of the Lu family, what should he do in the future if something happens to him

"Safe, this is also a time of helplessness."

The uncle sighed.

"I plan to report the matter here to the imperial court in person and bypass the magistrate. Song Duanchi, as a parent officer of Yicheng, said before that he would report to the imperial court, but until now... As the deputy commander, I have asked the commander several times Even if Yang Duanrui wrote a letter, he shirked it."

"Could there be something inside?" Lu Quan'an said in a deep voice.

"I don't know... and that girl Qingqing, there is still no news about the missing people." The uncle shook his head.

The two stood outside the door, feeling that they had to do something, but they didn't know what to do.

This kind of thing has exceeded their imagination.

Although I have heard of such things from other places before, but when this happened to my own family, I didn't know what to do.

"It's better..." Lu Quan'an pondered, "We will put up a list and offer a reward to recruit people who can solve such supernatural things."

"With a lot of money, there must be a brave man. Maybe it's feasible. Anyway, these things are raging now, and they can't be covered."

Uncle nodded.

The two discussed it carefully and settled the matter.

Not long after, some servants of the Lu family took stacks of red paper and posted them outside the main gate of the Lu family and on the nearby publicity walls.

The red paper was quickly pasted in several important places with high traffic.

It attracted many passers-by to watch.

... ... ... ... ..

After a few days.

At the gate of the city.

People come and go, on the main road with fast traffic.

A caravan dragging gray goods slowly stopped at the city gate, and the leader of the caravan began to call for unloading, waiting for someone to move it.

The caravan was only passing through Jiulian City, and the unloading was only a part of it.

During the greeting from the leader, two people, one tall and one short, jumped out of a carriage in the caravan.

The two were wearing Taoist robes, and the taller one was a middle-aged man with Chinese characters and a rosy face. He carried a sword on his back and wore white cloth shoes with black soles.

The woman is also dressed in Taoist robes, but she looks pretty. Although she is faintly tired, she can still see that she has received a good education. In this era, such a situation can only happen if you come from a wealthy family.

"Brother Yan, this is Jiulian City."

The woman's voice was clear and clear, like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who just spoke.

"Well, it should be the Jiulian City that person said. You have worked hard all the way, Rong Rong."

The Taoist nodded and looked around.

Soon he noticed a red notice posted at the gate of the city.

The announcement attracted a group of people to watch, and even the two soldiers guarding the city came over to chat with people.

Everyone had expressions of surprise and envy on their faces.

"Brother Yan Kai, I didn't feel too bitter. The notice over there looks like a reward notice. Let's go and have a look first. Maybe someone has already posted a message asking for help when they are in trouble."

Rongrong followed Yan Kai to travel north and south, and she has a lot of experience in such things.

In the few incidents they encountered before, it was through the notice that they found the people involved in the accident at the first time.

Yan Kai nodded.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two walked into the city gate and quickly squeezed towards the place where the notice was posted.

"...It's the Lu Mansion. The city is really not peaceful recently. Even the Lu family has an accident."

"Lu family, there were people who escaped before. I saw that it was the former head of the Lu family's guard, and the whole mansion was panicked."

"I haven't seen Sister Yu come out to shop for several days. Could it be that something happened?"

People around you talk to each other, chatting intermittently.

Yan Kai listened carefully, while raising his eyes to see the posted notice.

'A reward of five hundred gold is offered to recruit strange people and talents.

Recently, there have been many strange things happening in the city, and people have disappeared from time to time.

Before that, there was the tragedy of the Xu family and the case of Wang Jiazhuang throwing a well. Now there is the cry of a woman in my Lufu in the middle of the night.

In order to ensure the peace of the family, a reward of 500 taels of gold and about 5,000 taels of silver is offered, and the matter will be thoroughly investigated. Find the missing. '

The notice is written very simply, and the meaning is concise and clear.

There is also a sub-indictment posted below, which is the whole story of the incident where Lufu encountered crying in the middle of the night.

Completely wrote about the missing persons case in Lu Mansion.

Yan Kai looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly.

"That's it. Let's go to Lu's house."

Rongrong also read the content of the notice on the sidelines.

"It just so happens that we are also looking for this ghost, and we can earn some money along the way."

"I wait for the way, not for money." Yan Kai said solemnly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Rongrong stuck out her tongue, and shut her mouth quickly, because she knew that brother Yan Kai couldn't stand the thing of repaying favors.

Without further ado, Yan Kai stepped forward and tore off the notice.

The servant who was guarding the side road mansion's eyes lit up, and he suddenly regained his energy.

"Two, this way please!"

Yan Kai nodded.

Take Rongrong with him, and go with this Ding Chaolu Mansion.

The surrounding crowd who had been watching the excitement before suddenly became a little uproar, and many good-natured people followed along.

I want to see if they really went to Lu's house.

These two men and women dressed in Taoist robes seem to have two brushes.

Yan Kai didn't care whether there was anyone following behind, his color didn't change when he walked, he turned a blind eye, he was obviously used to being surrounded by people.

Rong Rong took the initiative to start a conversation with the servant and asked about the situation of Lufu.

Not long after, the two got into a carriage, turned left and right, and stopped after walking for a while.

When the two of them got out of the car, they were led by someone specially assigned to them, and entered a big house with rockery and flowing water, small bridges and gardens, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and the decoration was extremely exquisite and rich.

Without squinting, Yan Kai led Rongrong along the way, and soon arrived at a living room.

"welcome."

A middle-aged man with a sad face and pale face was sitting in the living room.

The man was well-built, wearing a moon-white robe with a pattern of copper coins on the silver border, and his long beard was combed neatly and cleanly.

It was Lu Quanan who just came from Lu Sheng.

"But the city gate notice that you two tore off?" Lu Quanan carefully looked at the two people in front of him.

Both of them are Taoists. The man's complexion is ruddy and shiny, his forehead is full, his eyes are serious, his waist is straight and his back is straight. If you change into a Confucian robe, you will have the demeanor of a celebrity.

The woman's complexion is pretty, with a hint of innocence, her eyes are quick and peeking around, it looks like some young lady sneaked out to disguise herself.

"Exactly. Poor daoist face. The color of the face, the beginning of the face. The Taoist name is also Yangzi."

Yan Kai introduced himself.

"This is Duan Rong, the poor Taoist sister. I waited for the two of you to come here because of the disappearance of the population posted by the Lu Mansion."

"Please sit down, both of you, please sit down."

Lu Quanan reached out his hand to signal.

Yan Kai and the two sat down, and a maid quickly served tea and refreshments.

"I have already written the details in the announcement. If Taoist Master Huanyangzi wants to accept this reward, he must meet the little boy Lu Sheng.

The reward offered by my Lu family this time will be reviewed by him. "Lu Quan'an said softly. "Of course, if the Taoist leader is really capable, no matter whether he succeeds at this time or not, he will give a hundred taels of silver afterwards. "

After saying this, both Yan Kai and Duan Rongrong agreed.

Lu Quan'an asked Xia Yan and Kai about their backgrounds, where they were from, and how old they were. Where is Xianju

Yan Kai replied one by one.

After taking a short break, a few more revealers came to the living room soon.

Among the few people who came later, two were monks from Honglian Temple, and one was also a Taoist like Yan Kai.

The last person is a ranger, with two swords hanging from his waist, both of which are short swords, with a handsome face, it looks like a woman disguised as a man.

After waiting for a while, Lu Quan'an had almost arrived, so he asked everyone to stand up and head towards the other courtyard where Lu Sheng was.

There are so many other courtyards in the Lu Family, and they occupy a large area. Some houses even extend close to the city wall, occupying a full third of the most prosperous area in Jiulian City, which shows its wealth.

Among the five families in the city, the richest is the Lu family.

Everyone followed Lu Quanan towards the Yellow Crane Courtyard.

Along the way, everyone could see guards with swords guarding the courtyards.

These bodyguards are all thick-waisted and round-armed, strong and strong, standing upright, and they can be seen at a glance that they have undergone military training.

Yan Kai looked all the way over, his complexion slightly serious.

"This Lu family is a bit powerful."

Duan Rongrong was puzzled.

"It's rich and powerful. It's similar to the few we met before. What's so great about it?"

Yan Kai shook his head.

"It's not these, but the Lu family should have a military background, otherwise the servants and guards here would not have such a dignified posture. Military regulations are strict, and only those who receive regular training in the military camp will always maintain such a spirit.

This is not the airs that those retired veterans can have. "

"With a military background! This kind of people actually want to post a notice asking for help, it seems that they have gotten into a lot of trouble."

Duan Rongrong was speechless after hearing this.

The group walked hundreds of steps and soon entered the Yellow Crane Courtyard.

The Yellow Crane Courtyard is next to the school grounds, and the chant of guards training can be faintly heard on the school grounds.

Lu Sheng, the eldest son of the Lu family, was sitting on a reclining chair, his body was half lying down, his face was pale, his body was wrapped in a thick blanket, and a clear smell of medicine could still be smelled in the air. Looks not in good spirits.

Yan Kai looked at this Lu Sheng carefully, and at a glance, he saw that the energy and spirit in the other party's eyes were weak, like a sick patient who had not recovered from his injuries.

"I've seen you guys."

Lu Sheng coughed twice, and cupped his hands towards the crowd.

"As you can see, I'm not in good health, and my injury hasn't healed yet, so I won't get up to greet everyone."

"Young Master Sheng is too polite."

A monk from Honglian Temple, whose dharma name is Master Zhentan, stepped forward and spoke.

"The Lu family has always been one of my devout pilgrims at the Red Lotus Temple. This time, the host asked me to come here to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Thank you, Master, and I also thank Honglian for hosting."

Lu Sheng smiled back.

The other Taoist asked about the case.

Lu Sheng answered them one by one.

Yan Kai and the two listened carefully at the side, and at the same time they were also looking at Lu Sheng.

"It was attacked by Yin Qi, and it was injured not long ago."

After Yan Kai observed carefully, he could see the strangeness of this young master Lu's body.
