After walking out, Lu Zheng took a deep breath and blinked his eyes that were already red. He felt so wronged.
It’s a lot to pay!
Standing in the middle of the backyard, Lu Zheng took a few breaths, then walked to the edge of the wooden cage and looked at it carefully.
He shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around, opened the wooden door, and returned to the inn lobby through the corridor.
At this time, Liu Captou had already poured himself a glass of wine, then took a sip of wine and a dish, and ate happily.
After all, I have been tired for a long time, and now I just take the opportunity to replenish my energy.
Lu Zheng, "..."
"The shopkeeper!" Lu Zheng sat next to Mr. Liu, and then he realized that the cup in front of him had also been filled with wine.
He raised his wine glass, bumped it with Mr. Liu, took a sip, picked up a chopstick of food, and asked the shopkeeper who rushed to him, "Shopkeeper, do you sell dog meat in the shop?"
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and replied, "My lord, please forgive me. There is no dog meat in the shop. If you want to eat it, Butcher Zhang's house on the other street sells dog meat. I'll ask the waiter to weigh some for you?"
"I see, then there's no need." Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "I just saw how many dogs were locked up in your backyard and thought there was dog meat in the store, so I asked casually."
Shopkeeper Lu waved his hands and said with a smile, "Those cats and dogs are the customers' goods, not the store's belongings."
"Which guest is this?" Lu Zheng asked smoothly.
Shopkeeper Lu subconsciously looked at a figure sitting in the corner of the lobby.
The man was shaken, and when he saw Lu Zheng raising his glass, he looked over and said loudly, "Brother, are you in the dog meat business?"
The man took a breath, nodded, raised his glass and touched it to Lu Zheng, "Hello, young master, this small business is not worth mentioning."
Lu Zheng had a smile on his face, and when he looked closely, he saw that this man was in his forties, with a Chinese-character face, a slight beard under his chin, and a medium build.
He was wearing a coarse dungaree, and although his clothes were a little old, they were very clean.
Moreover, although the skin of the hand holding the wine glass is rough, there are no calluses and there are not many situations where it should be done.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "I wonder if you can sell me one? I just happened to take it home on the way."
The middle-aged man's expression did not change, he just cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My lord, please forgive me, I take all my dogs home for my own use."
“My brother’s family owns a dog meat shop?”
"Small business is not worth mentioning."
Lu Zheng seemed to be interested and walked towards this person while holding up his wine glass.
"I thought I was just collecting dogs, but it turns out I'm an expert in making dog meat." Lu Zheng sat down next to the man, "I wonder if I have any secret recipe for braised pork?"
The man laughed dryly and said, "Young master, you've got a good reputation. It's just a small country shop. There's no secret recipe. It's just that the fellow villagers are addicted to meat."
"Oh." Lu Zheng nodded clearly, then raised his glass and said, "I see, then forget it."
The man smiled and raised his glass to clink it with Lu Zheng.
But just when the two were about to clink glasses, Lu Zheng flipped his palm, and a Cold Talisman came into his hand, and hit the man's arm with a "pop" sound.
"You!" The man was shocked.
The next moment, Lu Zheng's blood was boiling all over his body. He grabbed the opponent's wrist, then stretched out his hand and pulled the opponent up.
"Bang!"
The man was thrown to the ground violently, making a loud noise.
Lu Zheng's eyes were fierce. When he was about to lift it up and swing it again, he found that the man had blood bleeding from his mouth, his eyes were closed tightly, and he had passed out.
Lu Zheng, "..."
The inn fell silent for a moment, but before it became lively, Capt. Liu stood up and said, "Quiet, this man is a criminal in a case. No one else should be afraid."
Everyone: We haven’t made any noise yet!
Everyone: We haven’t had time to be afraid!
Liu Captou quickly came to Lu Zheng's side and looked at the man lying on the ground with bleeding from his mouth and nose and weak breath. He recalled Lu Zheng's previous words and couldn't help but look confused.
"The other party is a stranger, and his cultivation level should not be weak!"
"Don't let the air out and attract that person's attention."
The result, is this?
Looking at the expressionless Lu Zheng, Liu Captou felt that his words and actions were unpredictable and unpredictable.
Liu Captou asked in a low voice, "Is this the person?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "That's the person."
"Those dogs..."
"Let someone come in and take the dog to the county office first."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Capt. Liu nodded repeatedly, turned to Shopkeeper Lu and said, "My people are across the street, shopkeeper, please call them all in."
"Okay, okay!" Shopkeeper Lu nodded repeatedly, then trotted out of the inn.
After a while, four or five detectives rushed into the inn, two of them picked up the unconscious middle-aged man, and the other two went to the backyard, commandeered the innkeeper's car, and loaded up all the eleven dogs in cages.
car.
Lu Zheng took a glance and thought that there seemed to be some parents who had not reported to the official.
"When did he get these dogs?" Captain Liu asked.
Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly replied, "I have brought them back sporadically since the afternoon. The last one was brought back half an hour ago. It was said to be bought from the market."
Captain Liu nodded, the time was right, "Take us to the guest room he booked."
Under the guidance of shopkeeper Lu, Lu Zheng and Liu Captou went to Room B, Room 2, on the second floor.
Pushing open the door and walking into the guest room, I saw that the room was clean and there was almost nothing except a baggage.
Liu Captou looked at the baggage, but he didn't dare to do anything.
Lu Zheng asked Shopkeeper Lu to leave first, then he pressed the seal in his hand and cast a green exorcism spell.
"Buzz!"
Well, no response.
Lu Zheng then stepped forward to untie the bundle and found that in addition to some replacement clothes and other belongings, there was also a slightly worn book.
"The Art of Making Animals"!
"It is indeed this evil method." Lu Zheng nodded, thinking so.
Turning around, he saw Capt. Liu looking left and right, looking at the corners of the guest room, his brows furrowed, his face serious, as if he was investigating something.
Lu Zheng smiled and coughed, "Captain Liu, this place seems to have been affected by that man's spell. Please exit the guest room first, stay there and cast a spell to ward off evil spirits, and then invite the captor in."
Captain Liu had a strange expression on his face, then immediately nodded and backed away, "Okay, okay, please cast a spell to drive away evil spirits."
Captain Liu exited the guest room and then closed the door.
…
After a while, Lu Zheng opened the door.
"Captain Liu, please come in. It's ready."
Capt. Liu nodded repeatedly, then walked into the guest room subconsciously, and immediately saw "The Art of Animal Creation" placed on the baggage.
"This is……"
"This person is indeed not a good practitioner. I also found a copy of "Animal Creation Technique" in his package. Let Liu Captou present it to him."
Liu Captou looked at the book in disbelief, then at Lu Zheng, then pointed at himself, his eyes widening.
Lu Zheng nodded.
Liu Captou took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply.
In a case involving a cultivator, a magic spell was also seized. Based on this merit, when the county captain of Tonglin County becomes official, he will most likely be the one to take over.
…
When he returned to the county office, he learned that the man was still awake. Lu Zheng blinked and felt a little embarrassed, but...
"Fortunately, fortunately." An old detective said with a happy face, "We were worried that Mr. Lu would wake up before he came back. We mortals can't contain such a stranger."
Lu Zheng:(||?_?)
Is this so?
Lu Zheng nodded, with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent and inscrutable.
First, we came to the backyard of the county government office. Eleven cages were piled in the courtyard. The dogs in the cages were all staring closely at the people outside, pulling at the wooden cages as they passed, or whining but making no sound.
There were many police officers around, looking at Muzong with shock and a hint of fear.
Captain Liu asked quietly, "Do you want to wake that guy up?"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Open the cage."
Liu Captou waved his hand, "Everyone is looking at something, open the cage!"
Several detectives looked at each other, then they all gathered around and carefully opened the wooden cage.
As the wooden cage was opened, the local dogs ran out of the cage one by one, but they did not jump or make noises. They all gathered quietly in the center of the yard and looked at the people around them, who looked distressed.
Lu Zheng observed carefully and found that these dogs looked like dogs. Except for their extremely anthropomorphic eyes, there was no flaw at all.
Damn, that’s amazing!
Looking at the puppy in front of him, Lu Zheng couldn't help but think of the painting from last year...
"Master?"
Lu Zheng took a breath, and the content of the animal-making technique flowed through his mind, then his eyes focused, he pinched the seal in his hand, and muttered something in his mouth.
"untie!"
Lu Zheng held his right wrist with his left hand, and the two index fingers of his right hand formed a sword and pointed at one of the dogs.
"Woo——"
The dog trembled all over and couldn't help but roll over on the ground. The black dog skin on its body suddenly became loose and fell off.
A little girl, about three or four years old, wearing a small floral jacket, emerged from it.
"Wow--"
"Oh My God!"
"It's really those kids!"
Many police officers exclaimed.
"Wow -" the little girl immediately cried out, and an elderly policeman immediately stepped forward, held the little girl in his arms, and whispered comfort.
Lu Zheng glanced at the little girl, then pinched the seal again and pointed at another dog.
"Woo——"
The native dog rolled over, and there was a big fat boy sitting there blankly, staring with a bewildered look on his face.
…
One...two...three...
In a short time, eleven children, the oldest was four years old and the youngest was only two years old, all appeared, and eleven dog skins were spread out on the ground.
…
Naturally, the county government will be responsible for the follow-up of returning the children to their parents.
Lu Zheng followed Liu Captou to the prison next to the county government office, tested the man's cultivation level, and then sealed the man's Dantian Qi sea with his true energy, ensuring that he would be safe before the people from Yisi in Zhoufu Town arrived.
There is definitely no way to break free.
Then……
"Buzz!"
Five rays of luck have arrived.
"Bah!" Lu Zheng curled his lips. He didn't offer as much as Hu Zhou. What a weakling!
