"Zhao Xin, come to our house immediately!" Lu Yun couldn't wait to announce the good news.
"I obey, little one!"
People feel refreshed when happy events occur, and Zhao Xin also looked happy.
Soon, everyone arrived.
Ahem...
Lu Yun cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and said: "After our family's efforts, Deacon Cao finally agreed that the head of a ghoul thief..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yun paused deliberately, and the group of people below immediately stretched their necks and opened their eyes wide.
Hu Yanyong, in particular, swallowed anxiously.
"One hundred taels of silver!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below immediately cheered.
"The captain is mighty!"
"With this money, I can break through to the middle level of power!"
"I'm faster than you, I can break through to a high level of power!"
Wang Yang smiled when he saw the excitement of the people around him. He knew that from now on, Lu Yun would be the leader of their team, and no one would change him.
"When the accounts are settled above, the money can be paid into your monthly salary. If anyone dares to deduct money from you, just come to us and we will make the decision for you!"
Lu Yun said murderously.
"Thank you Captain Lu!"
Seeing this, Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction.
Then, as usual, he gave instructions on what to pay attention to in the daily tasks of the West Factory, communicated with everyone, and left.
Afterwards, he went straight to the archives.
"Wancheng...found it!"
This is the latest intelligence sent by intelligence officers. It was dated two days ago. It records a strange incident that happened in Wancheng. Based on the clues collected, he suspected that this was one of the most wanted criminals on the Dagan list.
The work of faceless people.
A fast horse leaves Beijing.
Wancheng.
Located in the north of Jingzhou, it is one of the largest cities in Jingzhou.
It was getting late at this time, and the streets were pitch dark, with only patrol soldiers and watchmen passing by occasionally.
"Uncle Qin, I'm going back first." A woman dressed as a maid said to the concierge of Cui Mansion.
"Rongrong, it's so late and it's not safe on the road. Why don't you stay at my place for the night." The concierge, Uncle Qin, looked at Liang Rongrong and said with a smile.
"No, I still have something to do at home. I'm going back first." Liang Rongrong took a few steps back and ran away in a panic.
She had long heard that Uncle Qin, the concierge, was an old pervert, so how could she dare to stay at his place overnight?
"But, it's so dark outside!" She looked at the dark night, unable to move forward.
Liang Rongrong is a maid employed by Mr. Cui's family in Xifang, and lives in Dongfang.
Mr. Cui was not a big family in Xifang, and his family did not have many maids, so he hired four or five maids to help him, and she was one of them.
Every morning before it was completely dark, she would go from her home in Dongfang to Master Cui's house in Xifang to work for Master Cui. But at night, Master Cui had no place for them, the hired maids, to live, so he would let them live there.
Go home on your own.
From Xifang to Dongfang, if the place is far away, it may take half an hour to walk.
Being a maid is very hard, and it is already night after the busy work. They hire maids as a group for safety, and usually go back together.
But sometimes there are exceptions. After all, it is impossible for everyone to complete the work at hand at the same time, so sometimes they can't wait and have to separate.
At the beginning, they were a little worried, but as time went by, they saw that nothing happened, so it didn't matter.
But just today, Liang Rongrong accidentally forgot to wash the bedding and clothes she was responsible for.
She didn't remember this until late in the evening.
These bedding and clothes were replaced by Mr. Cui's family. If she does not wash them today and the bedding and clothes are not dried in time, she will be fined half a month's wages.
Liang Rongrong could only let the hired maids go first, while she stayed alone to wash her bedding and clothes.
By the time she finished washing her bedding and clothes and hanging them to dry on the bamboo pole, it was already midnight.
She rarely goes home at this time, but she can't stand in Cui Mansion all night or sleep on the floor. Then she will definitely not have the energy to work tomorrow.
As for sleeping with the concierge, Uncle Qin, I couldn't even think about it.
"No matter, nothing happened before, and it will definitely be the same tonight."
After Liang Rongrong cheered herself up, she picked up a butter paper lantern and left Cui Mansion.
Red lanterns were hung in front of every house in Xifang, but the surroundings were so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
It was so quiet that you could occasionally hear the barking of dogs.
After finally detouring from Xifang, the main road was deserted and there were no lights in sight.
Everything you look at is pitch black, like a dark beast that can devour people.
She immediately felt the urge to return to Cui Mansion.
But she stopped and thought for a moment before mustering up the courage to move forward.
Logically speaking, she would not be afraid under normal circumstances. After all, she had walked at night several times, and it was not uncommon for her to do so later than this time.
But these two days are different.
I heard that there was a murder case in the city. The death of the deceased was extremely miserable. The whole person's face was peeled off and it was bloody.
The murderer has not yet been caught by the authorities.
Thinking of this, Liang Rongrong couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
As she walked, she told herself not to think wildly and scare herself.
"Wancheng is often patrolled at night, so it's very safe."
Despite this, her mind couldn't help but wander, thinking about the various ghosts and monsters that might be lurking in the dark night.
The pace couldn't help but speed up.
The cool breeze blew slowly, making her feel cold again.
She didn't dare to think about it any more. She glanced at the flames in the lantern and her fear subsided slightly.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness and put it on her left shoulder.
"ah!"
Liang Rongrong screamed involuntarily, but then she covered her mouth with her hands.
"Who are you?" Her teeth kept chattering up and down.
No one answered her, and there was deathly silence behind her.
Woo woo woo...
She was so frightened and anxious that tears flowed out of her eyes. She wanted to move forward, but she couldn't take a step forward. Her body had frozen.
The main road in the dark night was silent, as if time had been frozen.
If it weren't for the hand on her shoulder, she would have thought it was all a lie.
Just when she was almost unable to hold on any longer, a joking voice sounded.
"You think it's fun? How about our family come and play with you?"
Hearing this voice, Liang Rongrong turned his head away in a strange way. The owner of that hand was wearing a white loose gown and had a smooth face without any facial features.
Can it speak without a mouth?
Liang Rongrong fainted immediately.
What she didn't notice was that in the dark night, a figure wearing a dark golden cloak was standing on the eaves of a wine shop along the street.
