Chapter 1429: Evil
"The tragedy in my mansion, if it wasn't for the order of Her Royal Highness Princess Phantom Sea, then there is only one possibility, and it was done by those allies of mine, the other people among the Seven Sages of the Pine Forest. ”
"Because they can use this method to frame the bloody case on Her Royal Highness Princess Phantom Sea, arousing the indignation of the ministers. Now the people in the entire Divine City all know that the old man was arrested by Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Phantom Sea, and he was secretly hidden somewhere, then if something happened to the Shangshu Mansion, it would be natural that it would be attributed to Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Phantom Sea, this blood debt was enough to shock the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and in order not to let themselves fall into such a tragic situation as the old man, they would boycott Her Royal Highness the Phantom Sea together!" Zhong Xin waved his arms and said with a heartfelt voice.
As a secretary of the ministry, he has been a senior official for so many years, and he knows the mentality of officials in the court and the central government well, and he also believes that the other few people among the seven sages of the pine forest do have such ruthlessness.
"You go and tell His Highness Phantom Sea that the old man is willing to tell him all the things about the Seven Sages of the Pine Forest, and he is also willing to testify in front of the court to testify against them! The old man doesn't want to live, he just wants to be able to pull the enemy to be a ghost together! Can you fulfill me?"
Lu Menglu looked at the old man with bloodshot eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
"There is no evidence! The old man immediately handed over a copy of the testimony, you can show it to Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Phantom Sea!" After Zhong Shangshu finished speaking, he immediately lay on the table and wrote hard.
Lu Menglan stood by and watched him write a lot of articles with his own eyes.
This article is not so much a testimony as an essay, and the real names, positions, and evil deeds they have committed are all written clearly and clearly at a glance.
"On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month last year, the god general Wanfeng returned to Shencheng to report on his work, and wanted to report the corruption of grain and grass in the border pass, but was intercepted by Lan Zhuofang, the deacon of the Ministry of War, and killed 74 members of the family, blaming the dark race for chaos. ”
"On the ninth day of the first month of March, the head of the Seven Sages of the Pine Forest, the Zhenguo Gong Phantom Songfeng, in order to compete for a rare divine weapon, ordered the master of the Songfeng Pavilion to pretend to be a mysterious master of the God of War City, challenge the royal family's children Phantom City, and trap him thirty miles outside the city. ”
"On the seventh day of July, the Fashen City found that there was a plague spreading, and the seven sages of the pine forest agreed to conceal the plague and use the hands of the plague to eliminate the old and weak in the city, leaving only the strong and strong, reducing the burden and getting out of trouble. ”
In this article, the bloody evidence is simply shocking and heart-wrenching.
Lu Menglu just glanced at it casually, and immediately frowned.
Duanmu Qingyi on the side picked up the letter and read it seriously.
"These people in Fashen City are too black-hearted! They can do everything! Our Tianzun Divine City is much better than them. No matter how bold those big nobles are, they don't have such a way to do it!" Duanmu Qingyi commented angrily.
Zhong Shangshu's face sank like water, and he said word by word: "Give this letter to His Highness Huanhai, and the old man will expose the true face of these people at the imperial meeting!
Lu Menglu nodded and took the letter from Duanmu Qingyi's hand.
"I'll go out again tomorrow morning. Lu Menglu's face was expressionless and said lightly.
Early the next morning, Lu Menglu left the small courtyard again and headed to the upper floor of the Law God City.
However, he did not go to Her Royal Highness Princess Phantom Sea as Zhong Shangshu hoped, but went straight to the fourth floor and found the Bai pawnshop on Xifeng Street.
As soon as he entered the door of the pawnshop, Lu Menglu felt very keenly that there was an abnormal flow of spatial energy around him, and there was actually a magic circle in this pawnshop, and the power was not weak.
There are not many people in the pawnshop, there are only three counters, all separated by railings made of stainless steel, and the pawnshop master inside only shows one head, which looks safe.
There were a few people in front of Lu Menglan, all of whom were holding items that came to pawn, most of them were equipment, as well as pills and the like.
It seems that the pawnshop's business is not bad, even better than he expected, it doesn't look like a place to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, but there is a real business.
Those who came to pawn the items were all resentful, angry, and eager to lose their temper when they were looked at.
But it's normal to think about it, everyone has come to pawn things, how can they still be in a good mood.
Therefore, Lu Menglan stood quietly behind and waited, without squinting, looking very regular.
Not long after, a man who had just pawned thirty jade yuan with his saber left in a hurry, and finally vacated a stall.
Lu Menglu stepped forward slowly, smiled at the old man at the window and said, "I'll do something." ”
"When what? Dead or alive? Dead should be taken more than 10%. The old man said expressionlessly.
Masters like them have very poisonous eyes, and they only need to glance at the objects outside the counter, and just by the clothes of the other party, they can estimate the grade of the pawn that the other party can take.
A guy like Lu Menglan, who is dressed in cloth and doesn't even have the cheapest jewelry on his body, is poor in the eyes of the master, and naturally he doesn't have a good face.
It's not that there won't be exceptions, but most of the time, so they don't have to fight for that kind of small probability.
What's more, this is not a shop to buy and sell things, but a pawnshop, as long as the guests come in, then they must bow their heads, and they have all been reduced to pawns, even if they used to have some status, so what?
"I'll do this!" Lu Menglu smiled and took out a blue bracelet from his arms and gently placed it on the counter.
"What a trick!" the master at the counter frowned and blurted out.
This voice did not matter, but it successfully attracted the attention of many people in the pawnshop.
Whether they were waiting to be in the back or doing an appraisal next to them, they all stretched their necks and looked over.
Everyone saw a blue bracelet on the counter, with a slender chain body that exuded a luster of aqua blue.
"Isn't this a Taoist bracelet? This is a level 15 piece of equipment, right? From which kid's hand did you pick it up?" a fat man in a brocade robe who was pawning at the counter next to him suddenly laughed.
Although this fat man is wearing a brocade robe, but if you look closely, you can easily find that he is wearing an old brocade robe, and the corners are washed white.
However, this fat man still has a sense of superiority, and he is also a pawnbroker at the end of the world, but he can show his superiority, which is really not easy.
"Brother, are you thinking about Yuyuan going crazy? This game is worth a fart! Let's hurry home and wash and sleep! Don't dream!"
Lu Menglan looked at this fat man, and he didn't feel very annoying, on the contrary, he was a little close, probably because of the other party's detached appearance, and his temperament was very similar to Wang Shaoxiao!
"You still have to have a dream, what if it comes true!" Lu Menglu nodded and smiled.
"Huh, this sounds good! Brother Tai, just say this to you, be rewarded! Come, you can take these three jade yuan to spend!" The fat man in the brocade robe happily divided three jade yuan he had just pawned, and handed it to Lu Menglan.
"Don't take out your little tricks and be embarrassed! I come here often, and they won't take you that!
Lu Menglu was also slightly stunned, he kind of understood, why did this fat man always come to the pawn shop, just rushing to this character, how much jade yuan in the family was not enough for him to lose!
"So, then this bracelet belongs to you!" Lu Menglu nodded and reached out to take the three jade yuan.
The people next to him were all watching the jokes, laughing at this fool who didn't think much of himself, running to Bai's pawn shop to be this, and laughing at the fat man who didn't know the so-called so-called, giving Yuyuan to others for nothing, and there was really no one left!
"I don't want this to play! I just think what you just said is okay!" said the fat man in brocade with a smile.
Lu Menglan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, don't worry! Wait for me." ”
After finishing speaking, he said to the counter window again: "Shopkeeper, please take a look again, I want to be the chain." ”
As soon as these words came out, several people around them all burst into laughter.
They all looked at Lu Menglan with the eyes of a fool.
Everyone thought to themselves, how could this young man be a fool when he was good-looking?
The old shopkeeper at the counter snorted coldly: "Take it away! Our Bai Pawnshop doesn't collect all kinds of garbage!"
"Take a look at it again!" Lu Menglan remained silent and insisted.
The old shopkeeper was not happy, and said angrily: "Boy, are you here to find trouble? If you don't get out, you will be thrown out!"
As soon as these words came out, the fat man in brocade shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly said softly: "Brother Tai, brother Tai, don't bar! Let's go! You can't afford to mess with the Bai family! Don't look for trouble!"
Lu Menglan's heart warmed slightly when he heard this, and it was more pleasing to the eye to see this fat man, he really looked like his friend Wang Shaoxiao, it was too similar, and even his character was similar.
"Is this how you Bai do business? I can't even use my hands, so I just say that my things are not valuable! In this case, then when I meet people on the street, I will say that this is how the Bai family does business!" Lu Menglan said with a smile.
"What? Bold! What are you! How dare you slander the Bai family's reputation!"
"Coming, Where's the Guards, Coming!"
"There's a lot of trouble here!"
For a while, the shopkeepers in the three counters all shouted, they were old shopkeepers, and their reputation was more important than anything else, and this kid spoke like this, which was to poke at their weakness.
Immediately, a group of guards surrounded the people in front of the counter.
This Bai Clan's pawnshop is not a good pawn at first glance, not to mention that this is still the contact point of the Seven Sages of the Pine Forest, and the background is so big that the defense force here is of course strong.
At this moment, including the little fat man, several guests who came to the pawn shop all had bitter faces.
"It's none of our business!
"It's that kid! We don't know him!"
"Brother, you're going to be unlucky! I'm a good person, don't involve me, thank you!" the fat man in brocade shrunk his neck and said with a palpitating expression.
In the eyes of these people, the young man who talked big was dead this time, which angered the Bai family, and even if he didn't die, he would have to shed his skin.
Surrounded by the guards, Lu Menglan was not in a hurry, and still smiled calmly: "With such a big battle, why can't you take a look at the attributes of my hand gong?"
The shopkeeper at the middle counter sneered: "What's so good-looking! Even if it's the best, it's just a Taoist bracelet!"
Everyone understands what this old shopkeeper means, and they are right, even if this is the best, it is also a useless piece of equipment, because the original attributes of the Taoist bracelet are too low, even if a few points are added, it can only be a piece of equipment for children to play with, and it is useless.
"Aren't you all curious, how superb this equipment is?" Lu Menglu continued to say with a smile.
"Okay! Since you are so hard-mouthed, let you die to understand! Please be a witness, I will taste this superb piece of equipment, and see how superb it is. If this kid is full of nonsense, break his legs!" said the old shopkeeper at the counter in the middle.
This Bai pawnshop is really domineering, and it is worthy of a merchant with a big background and a big backer, who doesn't agree with a word, and actually discounts the legs of guests.
Although the other guests were quite uncomfortable when they heard it, they did not dare to be angry or speak, so they could only nod wildly.
Lu Menglan still looked like he didn't care, and smiled.
The old shopkeeper picked up the Taoist bracelet on the counter with disdain, and a layer of light patterns appeared in his palm, as long as the light pattern energy was injected into the equipment, its attributes could be immediately viewed.
Suddenly, the old shopkeeper's expression froze on the spot, and the whole person seemed to solidify into a statue.
Everyone didn't care about it at first, but then they noticed something strange and showed curious looks.
What was the expression of the old shopkeeper of the pawnshop? Could this bracelet really be a piece of equipment? And the kind that could scare the old man?
Another shopkeeper saw that the old shopkeeper didn't move for a long time, so he said with a smile: "What kind of equipment is so powerful?
After that, the shopkeeper took the Taoist bracelet from the old shopkeeper's hand.
As a result, that person was also struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
The two exchanged glances, and saw horror in each other's eyes.
There was only one shopkeeper left, and that man knew that the situation was not right, and the expressions of the two shopkeepers should not be like this.
So, he also reached out and took the Taoist bracelet.
As soon as the bracelet was sold, the third shopkeeper's face immediately changed greatly, and he blurted out: "Where did you get it?"
As soon as these words came out, both the guests and the guards knew that the bracelet was definitely not simple, but they couldn't imagine how simple it was.
The three shopkeepers quickly exchanged glances, and then, the eldest shopkeeper had a gloomy face, glanced at the guests in front of him who looked very shabby, and said lightly: "Close the door!"
The guards also realized that the situation was wrong, and Hula suddenly rushed to the gate, blocking the gate stiffly, so tightly that even the light could not penetrate it.
