When Lu Qian was looking around at the coffin shop, Lu Tianxing was having a good time of wine and meat.
This is the innermost part of Zhanlong Hutong, a house with white walls and black tiles and a dense garden, named "Yutangchun".
In the exquisite hot pavilion, there is a dog meat pot and a mutton pot on the stove, and there are more than a dozen plates on the side, which are full of various delicacies from the mountains and seas.
On the heated kang, a middle-aged man wearing a bright red robe with eight dazzling blood spots on his chest and back sat cross-legged, with chopsticks in his right hand and a wine bowl in his left hand, eating meat and drinking wine in large gulps.
My head was sweating profusely and dripping with blood.
Lu Tianxing was accompanying him. Beside him and the middle-aged man, there was a stunning young woman with a round face and a similar appearance. She was obviously a pair of sisters.
The two women smiled sweetly, poured wine for the two of them, cooked the dishes, and spoke warmly and chimed in from time to time, serving them well.
A small breeze was blowing outside. Lu Tianxing scooped out a fragrant stewed egg from the dog meat pot, carefully put it into the small bowl in front of the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, originally I
I'm still a little scared, I'm afraid things won't end well this time. Brother-in-law, you personally bring someone to take charge of this, so my heart is finally settled."
With a head like a bush, a short body, but extremely strong arms, and a pair of palms that are blue and black as if made of iron, with veins on the back of the hands and fingers, which glowed faintly cold under the light, the middle-aged man was not afraid of being burned, so he picked up the eggs and threw them in
In his mouth, he chewed twice and then swallowed it.
He picked up the wine bowl and took a long sip with satisfaction. The middle-aged man put down the wine bowl and touched the beard on his chin.
Like a cold light flashing in the eyes of an eagle, the middle-aged man said sternly: "Xiao Xing, you did not handle things well this time. You lost so many of your subordinates, but you didn't even touch the other party's tail.
There was an adult who wanted to punish you severely with family law, but I helped you stop him."
A few beads of cold sweat broke out on Lu Tianxing's forehead.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said coldly: "However, the supervisor is wise."
The middle-aged man and Lu Tianxing raised their hands in the direction of the imperial city at the same time. The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said softly: "These days, the main force of the manpower in the prison is to monitor the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and also
Among the cultural and educational disciples, there are not many manpower actually used to investigate the case."
"Don't be afraid of lack of movement. If there is movement, it is a good thing."
"That's all your three subordinates who were killed first. Their swordsmanship is the direct descendant of the largest family in Eastern China... This matter will definitely involve the group of bastards in Sijifang. It will be a while.
, not easy to move."
"But what about the injuries on the other fifteen subordinates who were killed? Two days ago, the supervisor personally went out and invited out several ancestors who had been retired for many years and recognized their injuries.
of injuries.”
Lu Tianxing's eyes lit up: "Have you found the suspect?"
The middle-aged man clicked his lips, picked up a piece of sheep's hoof with his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "It was just decided yesterday. Otherwise, why would I take the initiative to come and help you today? These bastards have already
They have disappeared for almost seventy years, and I am afraid that not many people will remember them now as the palace guards."
"Huh, Jiuyin Sect, have you heard of it?" The middle-aged man looked at Lu Tianxing sideways.
Lu Tianxing frowned: "It seems, when have you heard of it? Or in which case file did you see it?"
"Then, what about the Ghost Mother Cult? This name must be familiar to you. This name is hung in the lobby of the main hall of the Palace Keeper. It is the number one traitor and evil devil on the 'Unforgivable Treason' Iron Record."
Lu Tianxing was so frightened that he trembled all over. He jumped up suddenly, stood on the heated kang and exclaimed: "Nine Yin Sect, that's right, it's them. They worship the Ghost Mother Sect. They have something on my territory.
A den? No wonder, the attack was so vicious, several brothers were almost beaten into pieces!"
"Calm down, calm down, what's the big deal?" The middle-aged man raised his head with great confidence: "I'm not afraid that the enemy is strong, but I'm afraid that I don't know who the enemy is. No matter how cruel the Ghost Mother Cult is, as long as they show their traces, how can they be...
Our opponent?"
"The Superintendent personally ordered that I have mobilized all the manpower I can use this time. One thousand five hundred directly subordinate captains and supervisors, plus the ghosts they summoned, tens of thousands of people have surrounded you two.
In the streets and alleys, everyone is equipped with fine armor from the arsenal, as well as spears, halberds, strong bows and crossbows."
The middle-aged man stuffed the sheep's hooves into his mouth and spat out the bones.
"This time, you lost your manpower, but you also smelled the scent of those guys, hehe." He pointed the chopsticks at Lu Tianxing, who looked horrified, and the middle-aged man said leisurely: "This time, the main credit is,
I'm going to blame it all on you. After so many years of holding the rank of strongman, it's time for you to change your outfit."
Lu Tianxing's expression changed suddenly. He hurriedly sat down, picked up the wine flask, and filled the middle-aged man with a bowl of good wine.
"Brother-in-law, it all depends on your support, hehe."
The middle-aged man smiled, picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Lu Tianxing, drank the bowl of wine in one gulp, and then he patted his forehead vigorously: "By the way, there is one more thing you should keep in mind. Yes.
A young man named Lu Qian who just joined your team?"
Lu Tianxing looked at his brother-in-law in surprise: "Yes, he is a pretty boy with thin skin and tender flesh, but at such a young age, he actually has the cultivation level of Tuo Pulse Realm. He should be from a big family."
"The big Lu family in Haojing only has the lineage of Lai Guogong and Tianenhou of the Lu family in Jingyang. Which two families should this kid come from?" Lu Tianxing blinked.
The middle-aged man smiled and said leisurely: "Before I set off with my people today, the supervisor sent a message asking you to watch over him carefully."
With a 'haha' smile, the middle-aged man lowered his voice: "This boy has a bright future. He has just joined the palace guard. He has already been recorded three times by the prison guard for his great merits. Do you think he is great or not?"
Lu Tianxing was shocked: "What? He didn't do anything, but he was credited with three meritorious deeds?"
The middle-aged man glanced sideways at Lu Tianxing: "You don't understand, he didn't do nothing. He made Bai Changkong vomit blood in the street, he asked the General's Mansion to use manpower, and the whole street spread the news about Bai Changkong
Rumors have caused the cultural disciples and the General’s Office to be at odds with each other. This is a great achievement!”
On Youluzi Street, Lu Qian caught up with Lao He in a few steps.
Putting his hands in his sleeves, Lu Qian said to Lao He in a low voice: "Hello someone, Shopkeeper An, I recognize you, brother. Well, just send people to raid those two coffin shops, and you will definitely not catch the wrong one."
.”
Lao He looked at Lu Qian with surprise and joy: "Are you sure? How do you know they have a problem?"
Lu Qian pointed to his eyes and said to Lao He sincerely: "With my pair of skills, I can naturally see some details that are difficult for ordinary people to see. The shopkeepers of those two coffin shops, Xiao'er, have evil spirits in their bodies.
I can see it from three miles away."
"There is definitely something wrong with them. Even if they didn't kill those eighteen brothers, they are definitely not serious. There is absolutely nothing wrong with arresting them."
A flash of green light passed through Lu Qian's eyes.
He said leisurely: "Besides, are the guards still worried about arresting the wrong person?"
Lao He blinked his eyes.
Lu Qian continued: "In addition, who lives in Sijifangzaki Fang Yuan? Let the brothers find out."
"On the New Year's Eve, three women aged fifteen or sixteen died, and they asked for the cheapest thin-skinned coffins. This shows that the deceased people were of low status, so they were like maids and servants."
"Don't you think this routine is familiar?"
Lu Qian said coldly: "It must be that our Young Master Liu has been honest for a few days, but this is the beginning of his old ways and he started to act like a moron again."
Lao He's eyes were as big as a bull's eye. He looked at Lu Qian as if he had seen a ghost, and said dryly: "Lu Qian, let me tell you, are you lucky? Or, or..."
In Lu Qian's mind, the lotus seed-shaped spiritual light rippled like water waves.
He looked at Lao He with a naive smile: "Of course I am lucky. However, as the saying goes, there must be a trace of certainty in coincidence. If you want to say whether I am lucky, we can discuss it slowly, but now, we don't have much time."
The two of them walked quickly and walked through less than half of Youzhuzi Street.
There is a gold shop in front. The door is half closed. The light shines through the half-open door. You can faintly hear the laughter in the shop.
"Why!"
The laughter stopped suddenly, and a faint sigh came out.
“Such exquisite and lovely jewelry.”
"This workmanship is worthy of being a six-hundred-year-old shop. Even the palace often uses his products."
"When I was a girl, I used to choose jewelry from him."
"Later, when I entered the palace, I mostly used his treasures."
"But this person is not as good as a thousand days, and a flower is not as bright as a hundred days... What happened next..."
The faint sigh conveyed a biting chill, and Lu Qian felt the hair on his body stand up inexplicably, and he quickly accelerated and strode past the gold shop.
A few red silk lanterns in front of the gold shop suddenly became brighter, and the blood-like light dyed a section of the nearby street dozens of feet long in blood.
A faint mist floated out from the door of the Jinpu, and the half-opened and half-closed door opened silently. A red Luanfeng sedan was like a paper kite, floating half a foot above the ground, and floated out from the Jinpu.
He stood obliquely in front of Lu Qian and Lao He.
The expressions of Lu Qian and Lao He suddenly changed.
The curtain of the Luanfeng sedan moved, and a pair of blood-colored embroidered shoes gently appeared from under the curtain.
A desolate voice sounded faintly: "Since I am a close relative of my parents, why did you send me to live in a place where I never see the light of day?"
"Two husbands, how about we pair up and play tricks?"
The fog quickly spread to both sides of the street, and soon the street, which was dozens of feet long, was shrouded in fog.
