The wind picked up under the moonlight, blowing the windows and coffins, making a low whistle.
Lu Wu Jiu's scalp felt numb.
If this matter really involves a different person, and the other party is a relative of the emperor from the capital, then it has gone far beyond the scope of his responsibilities as a head catcher in a small county, and even his immediate boss, the county magistrate, cannot bear the consequences.
The best choice is to report the bad guards to Guangyuan County and draw a clear line between them!
Lu Wujiu repeatedly told Shopkeeper Li to stay calm, keep quiet, and clear the place slowly.
Let him walk downstairs as if nothing had happened.
There was a buzz of people going up and down the restaurant, drinking wine and admiring the moon.
Along the way, many acquaintances stood up to greet Lu Wu Jiu, inquire about his newborn daughter, and pay attention to his beard that had not yet grown.
Lu Wu Jiu responded calmly, touching his chin from time to time and letting out an affectionate laugh, but his eyes were condensed.
If it had been any other agent, nine out of ten they would have cleared the place as soon as possible.
But he knows that if this matter is really related to aliens, the biggest taboo is to alert the snake.
Although most of the strange cases solved in recent years relied on the clues provided by his younger brother Chen Chi, he also learned many unspoken rules of the underworld and the demon world.
For example, most ghosts sleep during the day.
Another example is that monsters never meet each other, but once they meet, they may cause chaos and blood, or they may choose people to devour.
It’s incomprehensible and I don’t know why, but it just exists.
In his eyes, the emperor's relatives are human beings, and the drinkers and common people in the restaurant are also human beings. How can he put the common people in danger just to save the nobleman in the capital?
"You can go back early tonight and bring some sweet-scented osmanthus cake that my wife wants to eat."
Lu Wujiu muttered to himself, and when he reached the stairs, he couldn't help but look back at the elegant room in the corner, his eyes slightly complicated.
If there is really a monster causing trouble, by the time the bad guys from the county arrive, the noble son and the old servant will probably be gone.
…
In the south of Wenhe County, in front of a small courtyard that is becoming increasingly deserted.
Lu Wu Jiu, who was carrying a dozen sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, stopped silently.
He reported the matter to the county captain. Zhu County Lieutenant did not think it was making a fuss and immediately reported the matter to the nearby bad guys.
As for what will happen next, that is what bad people worry about.
He should have gone home directly, but as he was walking dully, he came to this courtyard.
My little brother Chen Chi lives here.
After the Wangcai Village case, his contacts with Chen Chi gradually decreased.
It's not to avoid suspicion, but because the little brother is now favored by an expert, he can finally study and learn articles, and may be able to have a good future in the future. He doesn't want Chen Chi to make the same mistake again because of himself.
So tonight, he did not come to see Chen Chi.
Instead, he came to find the eminent monk Yichen who lived in seclusion in Wenhe County as if he were living in seclusion in the city. He played in the world and almost no one knew his true magical powers.
"That's all, the bad guys have already taken over, why should I meddle in my own business..."
"...If there really are monsters, the day lilies will be cold by the time the bad guys come."
"But...Senior Monk Yichen obviously doesn't want to see a certain person..."
"But a real eminent monk wouldn't be so stingy!"
Lu Wu Jiu wandered around outside the hospital for several times, and finally plucked up the courage, cleared his throat, licked his tongue, adjusted his expression to be neither humble nor arrogant, and walked forward with a serious face.
Snapped!
A piece of gravel flew out from the courtyard and landed at his feet, startling Lu Wu Jiu.
The woman's cold voice sounded.
"What kind of thief dares to wander outside my husband's courtyard!"
Lu Wu Jiu's face was instantly filled with a smile: "Miss Xiangzhu, it's so and so, Lu Wu Jiu."
"What is it, Lu Wu Jiu, I've never heard of it."
"Hey, it's me, that Capt. Lu, oh no, that Capt. Hu."
"It turns out that the beardless head hunter is here. It's so late, what are you doing?"
"I……"
"Hey, I still have a souvenir, okay, put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and you can go."
"Well……"
Lu Wu Jiu had already reached the entrance of the small courtyard.
Through the half-open courtyard door, he saw the maid in green clothes holding a broom across her chest, and Chen Chi who was smiling wryly at him.
Lu Wu Jiu was a little embarrassed, but in order to save others, he still shamelessly raised his hands and said, "A certain person is here to visit Master Yichen..."
Bang!
He hit an invisible wall again.
A familiar feeling came to his heart, but this time he didn't stick out his tongue, but carefully started mashing it with his hands.
Sure enough, the invisible wall trembled violently.
Just like that night in Xu Mansion.
In the small courtyard, Chen Chi was stunned.
At this time, only he could see, in the shadow of the night, the sinister bull-headed creature, which was more than six feet tall, was sitting on one knee, blocking Lu Wu Jiu's white, beardless face with something.
"The Master is indeed right... All encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation. Hello, Mr. Lu."
Listening to Haotou's low murmur, Chen Chi felt his scalp numb and could no longer watch.
He stood up and cupped his hands toward the courtyard door: "Brother Lu, Master Yichen is not here tonight. He has gone out long ago. Leave the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and leave quickly."
Lu Wu Jiu glanced at Chen Chi complicatedly, who had once been as close to him as his little brother, but now seemed particularly alienated. He was silent for a moment, nodded, put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and turned around to leave.
In the small courtyard, Xiangzhu looked at Chen Chi in confusion.
"Hey, Xiao Zuo, I was just joking. I don't really want his things."
Chen Chi looked at the back of Lu Wujiu who was leaving calmly, pursed his lips, picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and walked back.
Xiangzhu frowned and said in a low voice: "Although I don't like Mr. Lu, who is suspicious all day long, I also know that he is not a bad person. On the contrary, he usually uses his salary to help his colleagues who are in trouble and the county.
There are orphans and widowed mothers. However, my own family often lives in a pinch."
Chen Chi stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.
"I know. However, Master seems to like eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Xiangzhu looked deeply at Chen Chi and changed the topic: "By the way, where is your monk master? Where did he go for a walk tonight? Everyone said that after the Zhongyuan Dynasty, hundreds of ghosts walk at night, so it should not be too late at night
Go home."
Chen Chi raised his head, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiangzhu, Master will be fine."
In the other world that he could see with his yin and yang eyes, at the entrance of the small courtyard where he lived, a bull's head opened the way, guarded by evil spirits, and all directions were peaceful, and no ghosts could invade.
In Wenhe County, there is another house that has ghosts watching over it.
But it's next to Hengqiao, the second house in Wufang Lane.
It is the home of Lu Wujiu, the head of the Lu family.
Only Chen Chi knew that after Master Yichen left on horseback that night, he took a detour and passed by the door of Patou Lu's house. He stood quietly outside the window for a moment and took a look at the baby girl whose left leg was curled up and crying.
Mrs. Chu, the head of the county, was shocked when she found out. Not only did she return the Lu family's baby girl's hamstring, she also revised the county registration book overnight.
He also offered the power of incense and prayed to the Hades Chakra.
May the daughter of the Lu family be blessed with lotuses every step of the way in the future, and may she be honored as Mrs. Gaoming in this life!
According to some old ghosts, a long time ago, the underworld was still there, the laws of the underworld were running, and those who had meritorious deeds in the world would have their children be blessed and enjoy blessings.
But now, the underworld has become a legend.
If it weren’t for those words and that look from the master before he left.
The little girl of the Lu family will only be a lame girl in the future.
…
"Brother Lu, I am good at making opinions, so I will use this bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake as a thank you gift to Master Yichen."
