Lu Sheng closed the wooden window and looked back at the room.
He took off his coat and put it on the clothes rack behind the door.
Then he opened the closet and found several dusty women's clothes worn by Sister Yu. After closing the closet door, Lu Sheng looked at the dressing table again.
There is no pattern on the simple dressing table, just a bronze mirror placed in the center.
A little pink powder was sprinkled in front of the bronze mirror. Lu Sheng stretched out his hand to dip it in and brought it to his nose to smell it.
"Powder for ordinary women."
Lu Sheng suddenly frowned.
"Sister Yu, I remember she is not someone who likes to use perfume."
call....
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, and the candle light suddenly swayed.
Lu Sheng quickly grabbed the knife and looked around the room.
Chi.
Through the gap where the door was not closed, a glimpse of white clothes flashed past.
Lu Sheng walked over quickly.
"I remember I closed the door after I came in."
He touched the wooden bolt, and there was an open padlock on it.
He opened the door and walked out to the corridor to take a look.
The corridor was empty and deserted.
A stream of cool air keeps pouring in here.
Lu Sheng coldly scanned it and found nothing wrong.
Then he returned to the room.
The door closed with a click.
He walked to the table and sat down. He put down the knife and pressed it on the table, holding it with his hand.
He just sat like this, slowly waiting for the so-called woman to cry.
The lights are as bright as beans.
Time passes slowly.
With the support of Jade Crane Kung Fu, Lu Sheng didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat at the table full of energy, waiting for the cry.
Later, when he found nothing was going on, he used his thoughts to speed up the operation of the Jade Crane Technique.
Anyway, this qi-preserving skill is too stable, even if he wants to distract his qi, there is nothing he can do.
A lot of time has passed without realizing it.
Until there was a clear rooster crow outside the window, and the originally dark window gradually turned into a faint white.
Lu Shengcai suddenly realized that he had been sitting like this all night.
"Where is the sound of a woman crying? There was nothing all night."
He could also see the faint light of dawn outside through the window.
Holding the knife, Lu Sheng stood up and moved his body.
Opening the door and walking out, some light came in from the corridor. He came to the courtyard of the Lotus House. The dishes, bowls and chopsticks he had eaten yesterday were still in the same place.
People's voices could be heard faintly outside the yard.
Lu Sheng walked over and opened the door forcefully.
Dad, Lu Quan'an, Lu Yingying, Lu Yiyi, and other relatives at home have been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Seeing the door open, everyone was startled and took a step back.
Seeing Lu Sheng, Lu Quan'an quickly stepped forward.
"Xiao Sheng! Are you okay!?"
His face was full of concern.
Lu Sheng was confused when he saw that everyone was still holding torches in their hands, and when some guards arrived with unsheathed swords in their hands.
"What's wrong? What happened?" he asked loudly.
Lu Quan'an let out a long sigh.
"Another person went missing at home last night."
"Um???"
Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The second mother, Liu Cuiyu, then stepped forward and explained the matter.
It turned out that during Lu Sheng's vigil, other people came around and indeed no more women were heard crying.
Everything was normal at the beginning. The guards were patrolling. Many people were in their rooms in the mansion, saying they were resting, but in fact most of them couldn't sleep and were waiting for the results.
But something happened later.
"Bajun... He said he was going to the hut, but he never came back..."
A fat woman held a handkerchief and cried.
This woman is the sister of Lu Sheng's biological mother, Sun Yan, who is also his aunt, Sun Zi Ning.
The missing person this time is Lu Sheng's cousin Sun Bajun.
Lu Sheng and Sun Bajun were not familiar with each other. This boy liked gambling and was lazy and lazy. He couldn't stand it and would often scold him.
That kid didn't like him because of this, so he always took a detour when meeting him.
Unexpectedly, it was him who disappeared this time.
Lu Sheng frowned tightly.
"I didn't sleep all night. I sat in the room and listened to the noise. I didn't hear any woman crying."
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly became cold.
"What the hell is going on!"
My aunt grandson Ning burst into tears.
"Zining, don't worry, there must be a way." Erniang pulled her over to comfort her.
"Go to the lobby first, let's discuss the countermeasures."
Lu Quan'an sighed.
The group of people had no choice but to leave here first.
Lu Quan'an called Lu Sheng, a few of his immediate relatives, and his uncle over.
The door to the lobby was closed, several people were sitting on their seats, and the atmosphere was dull.
Dabo Lu Anping is a serious middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a Chinese character face.
He wore half-length silver scale armor that was common in the Song Dynasty, and carried an accessory scimitar at his waist. He sat next to Lu Quan'an with a solemn expression.
"The question now is whether we should let the power of the Yamen intervene." The uncle said slowly. "If we still can't find the source, I'm afraid we will have to resort to external forces in the future."
"It's easy to invite God, but hard to send God away..." Lu Quan'an sighed, which he had done countless times in a day.
In the past few days, he had been mentally and physically exhausted, and he was aging very quickly.
Lu Sheng sat in the next seat and remained silent.
Lu Quanan glanced at his son.
"Xiao Sheng, do you have anything to say? You are the future helmsman of the Lu family, and this family business will all be yours from now on. Do you know how to solve this current predicament?"
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, opened them again, and was about to speak back.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
Suddenly, a small cry came from outside the door.
"Eldest Young Master! Brother Sheng! The people in the mansion want to run away!"
Lu Sheng immediately stood up, strode over to open the door, and saw Xiaoqiao waiting at the door with a red face.
"Sir, another person in the mansion is missing. Wang Chong, the head guard, secretly ran away with many people! I heard the message from my sisters, so I ran over to inform you."
"Run away?"
Lu Sheng opened his eyes.
He guessed that panic might spread and people flee, but he didn't expect it to happen so early.
"Where is Wang Chong now?"
"I don't know. We only found out after they ran away. Now Zhao Fanghu and the others are also gathering together in the courtyard. I'm afraid they want to run away too."
Xiaoqiao said hurriedly.
Zhao Fanghu is also another person who takes the lead among the bodyguards.
"How many people did they get together?"
Lu Quan'an asked quickly.
"I don't know, but there are so many people!" Xiaoqiao quickly replied.
"I'll go take a look!"
Lu Sheng's face darkened and he strode towards the big courtyard.
Lu Quan'an and Uncle Lu Anping also followed closely with gloomy faces.
Several people quickly came to the compound.
More than twenty people have gathered in the courtyard, most of them are guards and servants, and there are also a few maids.
Everyone's faces were filled with fear and anxiety.
Some people have already packed their luggage and are ready to leave Lu Mansion at any time.
As soon as they saw Lu Sheng and others arriving, the originally noisy atmosphere became slightly quieter.
"Who wants to leave?"
Lu Sheng walked up to the crowd and asked with a cold face.
"We all want to leave!"
A guard man stood up, and it was clearly Zhao Fanghu, with a trace of fear on his face.
"Eldest Young Master, we are also human beings, and we are also fate. The trouble the Lu family has now is not man-made at all, but a female ghost!"
He opened his eyes wide, filled with fear.
"absurd!"
Lu Sheng interrupted him abruptly, his voice stern.
"Who gave you the courage to confuse people with your lies?"
"But I clearly saw it! That Bai Ying! Don't you Lu family want to drag all of us to accompany you..."
puff!
Blood splattered all over the floor.
The guard's head flew up out of thin air, rolled hard to the ground, and hit the feet of a maid carrying a baggage.
"Those who dare to confuse the public with evil words will die!!!"
Lu Sheng roared sharply, holding the knife and staring at the frightened group of people in front of him.
Plop.
Only then did the guard's headless body fall to the ground.
ah!!!
The maid screamed.
"Shut up!"
Lu Sheng had a ferocious look about him. As soon as he glanced at it, the screaming woman was so frightened that she covered her mouth and began to cry softly.
None of the guards and servants had ever seen such a tragic and bloody scene.
Everyone was so frightened that they were trembling all over and their faces were pale, but they did not dare to make a sound.
"Get everyone back here. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will kill you!"
Lu Sheng said sharply.
Everyone's eyes showed deep fear.
Forced by Lu Sheng's power, they finally remembered that this young master was a ruthless person who had killed several wanted criminals by himself.
Suddenly everyone dispersed as if fleeing for safety.
The body of the guard who fell on the ground was also picked up by the guards who had not caused trouble before.
These servants, guards and maids all signed a deed of prostitution before entering the house.
Just leave if you want, do you really think that the Lu family are kind-hearted people?
After everyone had left, Lu Sheng turned around and saw Lu Quan'an and his uncle Lu Anping staring at him with surprised and complicated expressions.
"To fight violence with violence is just a temporary measure." The uncle shook his head and said.
"Just keep it under control for a short period of time. If this matter cannot be solved in a short period of time, then our Lu family will have to run away ourselves."
Lu Sheng said calmly.
"It seems that I really have to go to the Yamen for help this time..." Lu Quan'an sighed. "Fortunately, Xiao Sheng is here this time."
Lu Sheng's decisive handling allowed him to see his son's responsible and strategic side, and he felt quite pleased.
Lu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Tonight, I will keep watch again, and I want to see what kind of thing dares to cause trouble in my house!
Don’t worry, father, although I didn’t find anything last night, I already noticed some clues.”
"Is this true?" Lu Quan'an was refreshed.
"Absolutely true!"
"Do you need me to send troops here?"
The uncle said seriously.
"Don't act rashly now. I'm afraid that if there are too many people, it will be a drag. No one knows what these ghosts are capable of. If there are too many people, they will block the way. They can be transferred to guard outside the house."
Lu Sheng shook his head.
"That's right, Xiao Sheng, this time it all depends on you!" The uncle nodded and reached out to pat Lu Sheng on the shoulder.
Although he is the deputy commander, he is not a martial artist. In addition, the military attache of the Song Dynasty has not fought in a war for many years.
In fact, speaking of it, his official position was obtained through tests on military strategy and examination papers. It had nothing to do with fighting.
In the Song Dynasty, it was a bad habit to emphasize literature over martial arts for many years. So at this time, the backbone of the family was Lu Sheng.
"Don't worry." Lu Sheng recalled the glimpse of white clothes he saw, and had a vague premonition in his heart.
If we can catch the man in white clothes, we may be able to solve the case of missing people.
