Chapter 236 Birthday Banquet
"Damn it—"
With a loud shout, a sound came from the dim secret room, an old man in a black cotton coat kicked Lai Chuntao away with one kick.
In Mayday, in such a hot climate, the old man was wearing a thick cotton coat? If he walked on the street, the old man would definitely be regarded as a lunatic.
Lai Chuntao's figure hit the wall opposite like a flying shell. The blood in his mouth dyed his mouth bright red. But Lai Chuntao didn't bother to wipe the blood and immediately crawled back to the old man's feet like a dog.
"Uncle...I was wrong...I was really wrong...Please...Please...Give me a chance...Give me another chance..."
"You idiot, the best idiot in the world..." The old man's sharp voice sounded, he raised his little finger and gently stroked the gray hair hanging from his temples.
"You actually lost the mother Gu... It's okay if you lost it... You actually let the mother Gu fall into Lu Sheng's hands... Just this, you're not willing to die ten thousand times..."
"Uncle...I'm wrong...I'm really wrong...Uncle, I've missed this thing over the years...Uncle, I'm giving me a chance...I'm giving me one..."
"Hmph, if I hadn't been just a sister... If I hadn't been just a son, I would have taken you to cultivate Gu Mother. You are a waste who is not enough to make trouble..."
"Yes! Yes! I am a waste! I am a waste!" Lai Chuntao kept slapping himself in the face. After a while, Lai Chuntao's cheeks became red and swollen.
"Okay!" the old man frowned and whispered, "I'll find a way to do this! That Lu Sheng... seems that he can't keep it..."
"Uncle... Why are we so afraid of that Lu Sheng? Even if he has the reputation of the Sword Saint, isn't there anyone behind us? Isn't it easy to take his life?"
"You know what's the matter!" The old man sighed with disappointment, "Do you really think we are going to deal with a Lu Sheng? Lu Sheng is just a boy who has lost his luck and has entered the officialdom for a year.
But behind him is the famous Nanling Prince Mansion! What is the strength of Nanling Prince Mansion and what is the position in the emperor's heart? You don't know if you say it, go back, by the way, it will be your birthday in three days?"
"Yes...yes...thank you, my uncle, still remember..." Lai Chuntao knocked his head like pounding garlic.
"Are all the invitations sent out?"
"I dare not, I dare not! I will notify them now, I will not do it... I will not do it..." Lai Chuntao said tremblingly.
"I won't do it anymore? Why not do it?" the old man asked in a masochistic way.
"Uncle, my nephew is wrong... We must be low-key, not silly... not silly anymore..."
"You still know how to be low-key? You still know how to keep a low-key? If you want to be low-key, how could you think of planting the Gu Mother on that Wang family? We have so many death row prisoners in our hands, and you can find one without realizing it. You are so stupid, how could you know how to be low-key?"
"Uncle... those fifteen children are all the ones you like. If it weren't for that Cheng Xiang, how could they have been kidnapped by Lu Sheng? I just couldn't swallow this. I want to vent my anger for you, uncle."
"Okay! With your aura and vision, you can only be a third-rate gangster in this life, and your life will be over... However, you have to do your birthday, and you have to do it!"
"Nephew doesn't dare...I don't dare..."
"If you ask you to do it, you can do it. Why don't that much nonsense?" the old man glared and shouted sternly, "Not only do it, but also send a invitation to Lord Lu."
"Lu Sheng? Can he come?"
"If you invite him, he will definitely go." The old man smiled confidently.
Lu Sheng stayed in the study for two days. In the past two days, Lu Sheng did nothing and just messed with this Gu mother. Lu Sheng's stubbornness was offended, and basically no one could persuade him to go back.
Lu Sheng, a variety of Gu mother, may be different from different worlds, so the species have a great deviation. But even if the types of Gu insects are different, the principle is still exactly the same.
For Gu Mother, death was probably the best relief for him. But I have to say that Gu Mother's survivability is really good. Even if he was burned by fire, feeding poison, sprinkling salt, and sprinkling pepper, he would have to bear it firmly.
Two days later, Gu's mother no longer had the momentum she had before, and the frightened little spider would shivering on the wooden board as soon as she saw Lu Sheng.
Like a young wife who lets her bully.
And now, Gu's mother suddenly felt that her miserable life seemed to be coming to an end. At this moment, Lu Sheng was already considering whether he should dissect Gu's mother.
The golden saliva of Gu Mother is sepsis, which is beyond doubt. But no matter how Lu Sheng explores it, Gu Mother has no antidote to sepsis.
This violates the basic law of the insect. All things in the world are mutually reborn and restrained. Where poisonous places appear, there must be an antidote to restrain the poison. Similarly, a poisonous snake can kill people, but its snake gall can be interpreted.
The same is true for the Gu worms. The highly poisonous Gu worms must have good medicine for detoxification. However, seventeen rabbits have died in the past two days. These rabbits are all victims of Lu Sheng's experiment.
Unable to find the antidote, Lu Sheng could only find it from Gu's mother's body. However, Gu's mother was only one, and it was a pity to die.
Lu Sheng thought about it, but still didn't dare to put down the knife gently. Seeing Lu Sheng giving up, Gu's mother screamed tragically. She scolded Lu Sheng with words Lu Sheng couldn't understand, and stopped at the critical moment? She agreed to give me a happy one~
Lu Sheng ignored Gu's mother's accusation. But two days later, Lu Jian knocked on Lu Sheng's door.
"Sir, you haven't eaten for two days..." Lu Jian said with some complaints as he looked at the food still on the table.
"For us innate warriors, is it serious for not eating for two days?" Lu Sheng raised his head and said lightly.
"But, you haven't eaten, sleeped or even done other things for two days. This is seriously inconsistent with you. I have never seen an adult who is so focused..."
"Just just say I'm too lazy? What's the matter?"
"Dongcheng Yaxing sent you an invitation to the banquet tonight."
"Damn!" Lu Sheng slapped his head suddenly, "I actually forgot about this matter... This Gu mother and Dongcheng Yashang cannot be separated. Maybe they have gotten a lot of Gu mothers through Dongcheng Yashang. Lu Jian, have I ever said to monitor Lai Chuntao all the time?"
"Yes, brothers have been monitoring each other, but Lai Chuntao rarely goes out. He usually stays in the East City Orchid, and only occasionally comes out for breathing... The brothers have been monitoring each other for more than ten days, but it has no effect."
"How is that..." Lu Sheng touched the beard on his chin, "It seems to be a bit too much..."
"How could Lai Chuntao invite me to the banquet? I didn't have time to find him, so he came to me first?"
"It is said that Lai Chuntao celebrated his 40th birthday tonight, so... Sir, are you going?"
"Go, how can you not go?"
"But...what if this is a Hongmen Banquet? Lord, Dongcheng Yaxing is mysterious. If this Gu mother is really done by Dongcheng Yaxing, then Dongcheng Yaxing will have something to do with Lord Qian's death.
They are very brave to dare to attack the fourth-rank officials of the court, so we must be careful..."
"But since they have invited me, wouldn't it mean that I am afraid of them if I don't go?"
"Sir, my subordinates think that this is not the time for a fight of will."
"Lu Jian, if I don't go to the banquet, how could there be fish taking the bait?"
"What sir means is...Is this Dongcheng Yaxing's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"We have been given the Gu Mother for two days. They can hold back for two days without taking action. They are already very patient. But I think they probably won't know that I have discovered Gu Mother and took it out.
Therefore, I think the chance of Hongmen Banquet is not high, but the chance of luring the tiger out of the mountain is not small. You and Gai Ying are staying here to keep your brothers alert and be ready to sacrifice to the military formation at any time.
"We only have forty brothers..."
"Don't worry, you will not be missing yours. How is Wang's condition?"
"I have basically recovered, but I have taken care of you, so we did not give her a chance to show up. Now in the backyard of the Tissue Department, we will help the brothers sew and repair the situation."
"Okay, keep the Seizure Department, especially the Gu Mother."
Lu Sheng washed up and slept beautifully. Then at dusk, he got on a carriage and headed to Dongcheng Yashang.
After walking on the road for about an hour, the carriage was swaying, and Lu Sheng was not in a hurry. Today, there were endless vehicles heading to the East City Yaxing. Along the way, many luxurious carriages passed by Lu Sheng's carriage.
This time, a brother of Xuantian Mansion was rushing for Lu Sheng. Lu Jian and Gai Ying both had to guard the Execution Department.
When he arrived outside the Dongcheng Yashang, the huge square of the Dongcheng Yashang was filled with dense carriages. Lu Sheng got off the carriage and said that this time it was not in vain.
A birthday banquet almost brought the high-ranking officials and nobles from Tongnan Prefecture and even the entire Jiangbei Road to come.
"This master, your invitation..." Before approaching the gate, a waiter bowed to Lu Sheng in a low voice and raised his head, and his face changed suddenly.
"What a coincidence, it's you again!" Lu Sheng smiled.
"Mr. Lu, what's the point of doing you? Today is my master's birthday party. Isn't it suitable for you to come at this time?"
If Lu Sheng comes to smash the situation, it is indeed a bit inappropriate. However, Lu Sheng did not have the same knowledge as the waiter today, so he took out the invitation and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter glanced suspiciously and his face immediately turned a smile, "Mr. Lu, please——"
The hall of the birthday banquet was brightly lit, and hundreds of tables were densely packed in the hall of nearly a thousand square meters. Such a large-scale banquet was a big scene in later generations.
"The General Secretary of the Criminal Department of Tongnan Prefecture, Lord Lu Sheng and Lu arrived-"
A chant of newspapers sounded, and the hall, which was originally warm in the atmosphere, became heavier in an instant. Many people who were originally talking and laughing suddenly stopped their words and turned around in surprise to look at the door of the hall.
When Lu Sheng walked into the hall, everyone's eyes were projecting towards Lu Sheng. There were doubts, confusion, fear, and dodging.
If it were just because of the official position of the Chief Secretary of the Criminal Department, it would obviously not have caused such a big response. Especially after Lu Sheng saw the dodging eyes of the prefect Cheng in the crowd, Lu Sheng's smile still remained, but he understood in his heart. His identity as an inspector in Wuzhou was probably leaked.
Chapter completed!
