Early morning.

Shen Lu couldn't remember how many times he was woken up by Xu Wenrui. I don't know when it began, and sleeping lazy became an extremely luxurious thing.

He came to the courtyard listlessly and said to Xu Wenrui, "Do you want to cultivate again?"

Xu Wenrui waved his hand and said: "Oh, what kind of repair, you can win against me casually if you get serious now, and you can repair as much as you like in the future, anyway, I don't have the ability to care about you." I called you up today to make wine for us to drink. ”

"You?" Shen Lu yawned and rubbed his eyes, only to find that in addition to Xu Wenrui in the courtyard, Fang Lan and Dugu Yiyi were also standing aside with a smile, waiting to see Shen Lu's performance.

Seeing that they looked full of curiosity, Shen Lu didn't want to spoil the fun, so he rolled up his arms and sleeves, and said energetically: "Then let's come! Let's go buy raw materials first." ”

Dugu Yiyi said: "No need Master, I have already bought it in advance." ”

As he spoke, he took out the basic materials such as spring water and rice grains from the storage ring. At the level of her four-star winemaker, what she bought should be the best raw materials that can be bought in Changge City.

Shen Lu also took out his wine-making utensils from the storage ring one by one and began to brew wine in the courtyard.

After the basic process, the next thing to consider is what sake to make.

The simplest is, of course, rice wine. At the level of Shen Lu, it can also be brewed very delicious.

But the problem is that rice wine is often too stimulating and not suitable for Xu Wenrui, who has injuries on his body.

In addition, it is three women who ask themselves to make wine this time, and if the wine is too strong, it will inevitably be a bit unpleasant.

Flipping through the inventory, Shen Lu found a strawberry card he had drawn in the early days of card drawing.

This is a one-star food card, and since it is really useless, Shen Lu has not paid attention to it.

Now that I think about it, this Yong'an country is located in a remote area, and the transportation is not smooth, and there are almost no fruits from outside that can be transported. There are not many types of fruits that can be grown in Yong'an Country, such as watermelons and strawberries, which are extremely rare.

If you use these fruits to make sweet and mellow fruit wine, wouldn't it be quite suitable for a few girls?

Just do it, Shen Lu immediately bought more than a dozen watermelon cards and strawberry cards in the points mall, and he was very busy.

Yiyi happily started on the side, for her, many details of Shen Lu's winemaking are worth learning.

And Xu Wenrui and Fang Lan felt bored after watching it for a while, after all, they couldn't see any way, so they went to chat and play with Coco together.

When the brewing was about to be completed, a person strode into the courtyard, it was Qu Yinling.

Seeing Shen Lu making wine, Qu Yinling's eyes suddenly lit up, ran to him, sniffed the smell around him, and then said with a smile: "Okay, it turns out that you are secretly making wine here, and it is still my favorite fruit wine." How's it going, do you have my share?"

Shen Lu sighed helplessly, but did not speak.

Qu Yinling smiled and said, "What, why do you look like you've seen a ghost when you see me?"

Shen Lu said with some weakness: "Miss Qu Er is busy with business, she has just taken over the Priesthood Guild, and there should be countless things to deal with. When you come to me at this time, you must have something important to tell me. Hey, I've only had a good night, and I really don't want to get into any other trouble. ”

Qu Yinling was suddenly unhappy and said, "You are really, you think about people in a crooked place." Surely there must be something wrong with me coming to you?

Shen Lu asked, "Then you're just here to see my friend this time?"

"Next...... This time by all means. This time there was something else going on. Qu Yinling laughed dryly, and then begged in a low voice: "Shen Lu, you really want to help me this time." And this matter is also related to your Shen family. ”

Although Shen Lu had never seen the Shen family other than his father, he was full of curiosity about this family.

In desperation, I could only nod and agree.

"Yiyi, the main process has been completed, and you can easily handle the next steps yourself. This wine does not need to be sealed in the jar, as long as the finished product is chilled, it can be drunk immediately, and you can send it to the two little ancestors after it is ready. I still have to serve this aunt and grandmother of the Qu family here. ”

Hearing that Shen Lu's words were full of resentment, Dugu nodded with a smile, and then the only son went to deal with the final steps.

The two came to Shen Lu's room, Qu Yinling was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, so she sneakily checked around, and then closed the door tightly and plugged in the deadbolt.

Shen Lu said angrily: "Eldest sister, as for you, I locked up the room in broad daylight, and I don't know what you think you are going to do to me." ”

Qu Yinling also said distressedly: "Big brother, there is no way to be misunderstood, this matter really can't be spread outside, it involves too much!"

The two of them shouted at each other's big brothers and sisters, and they all looked full of grievances.

Shen Lu saw that she didn't look like she was pretending to be garlic, so he stopped joking with her, but said seriously: "Say, what the hell is going on?"

Qu Yinling sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said, "Dad sent me to serve as the branch president of Changge City this time, and in addition to punishing me, he also gave me a task. He asked me to find out the truth about the theft of the ancestral tombs of 14 dignitaries and nobles in the ancient holy kingdom. ”

Then, Qu Yinling roughly explained the ins and outs of the year.

Shen Lu was dumbfounded when he heard it directly, and he didn't know that there was such a story at all.

In the end, Qu Yinling said: "Although we secretly sent people to exterminate a large number of horse thieves and recovered some of the stolen goods. The anger of the fourteen families over the matter has also subsided, but it is clear to everyone that the culprit has not been found. ”

"Yes, based on what you just said, someone should have caught the power of the Ancient Holy Kingdom to deal with the horse thieves, and you were used. ”

Qu Yinling said helplessly: "More than 20 years ago, it was my father who handled this matter. He had guessed this at the time, and he wanted to continue the investigation. However, at that time, these fourteen families were very excited, and they needed to get a satisfactory result immediately. In addition, my father was afraid that the tomb robbers would continue to get worse, so my father had to send someone to kill most of the horse thieves, so that the horse thieves could be used as scapegoats for the time being. ”

Shen Lu showed an admiring expression and said, "This trick is wonderful, I stole money again, and I also blamed the horse thief." These horse thieves are all evil, and they should be dealt with like this! Thank you for me, the grave robbers. ”

Qu Yinling rolled her eyes and said, "Your family is also one of these fourteen families!"

"What? My house has been gouged up?"

Seeing Shen Lu's stunned appearance, Qu Yinling explained: "It's not a direct branch of your family, but a side line. Since there are cousins in the middle, their ancestral graves are not the same thing as your family's. And you are too underestimating the four major families, how could they allow the ancestral tomb of the family to be stolen so easily. ”

Shen Lu was startled and complained: "Don't gasp for breath when you talk in the future, you will be startled." ”

"Although it is not the Shen family, the collateral is also a member of the Shen family after all. In order to help the side to get ahead, the Shen family also put a lot of pressure on my father at that time, so my father was forced to use a horse thief to take the blame. But this incident has always been a knot in my father's heart, and he has been tracking the follow-up of this incident all these years. ”

Shen Lu suddenly followed Qu Yinling's words and said: "Since the theft of the ancestral tomb is a scandal, your father does not dare to make a noise, so he can only investigate secretly. Your father has recently discovered some clues, so he sent you to Long Song City to investigate. And you've found out some eyebrows now, but the other party is someone you can't deal with alone, so that's why you're coming to me?"

Shen Lu's analysis was completely correct, Qu Yinling nodded busily, and finally even admired and said: "Yes, yes, that's it!Hey, you're so smart, have you guessed who this group of tomb robbers is?"

"Beijiang Gang, do you still need to guess?" said Shen Lu naturally spread his hands.

In fact, as early as when Qu Yinling introduced the past just now, Shen Lu had already guessed that all this was done by the Beijiang Gang.

"There is a vendetta against the horse thief, so they have a reason to frame the horse thief. The Beijiang Gang is inexplicably very rich, and they can always come up with rare treasures, and now I think it should be the income from tomb robbery. Moreover, the names of their brothers are so auspicious, and Ling Huievil is so superstitious about ghosts and gods, it is estimated that they have done too much bad things, and they are afraid of being retaliated against. ”

Shen Lu analyzed, then scratched his head and said: "Of course, I guessed everything, and there was no specific evidence. ”

Qu Yinling sighed: "Yes, it's because there has been no evidence, so my father doesn't dare to judge who the real culprit is." And recently, I've found a mountain of ironclad evidence!"

"What evidence?"

"Zhuo Yongkang's alien fire attribute mana! That is not an ordinary alien fire at all, but a kind of treasure called rootless fire, which is the heirloom of your Shen family!"

It turned out that a long time ago, in order to prove their supremacy, the four great families had worked together to collect the four treasures of the ancient holy kingdom: rootless fire, rootless water, sourceless wind, and sourceless thunder.

These four Arcana correspond to the four basic elemental attributes of water, fire, wind, and thunder, and their cores can all provide unparalleled powerful mana.

The four major families divided the four treasures, and the rootless fire was assigned to the Shen family.

Later, after the prestige of the four major families was established, these treasures became a symbol of honor, and they were not so important.

After a long time, these four heirlooms of the four major families were also lost. I don't know if it was really stolen, or if it was stolen by someone else in the family.

The rootless fire in Shen Lu's house should have been stolen by a member of the clansmen next to him, and then he followed this person into the coffin.

After the Beijiang Gang robbed the tomb, they accidentally stole this treasure. Zhuo Yongkang, who was addicted to cultivation, took it for himself, but because his cultivation was too poor, not only did he fail to exert the full power of the rootless fire, but Zhuo Yongkang himself was turned into a fool.

After Shen Lu figured out all the details, he sighed: "No wonder this Zhuo Yongkang will cause such serious damage when he breaks out uncontrollably, it turns out that this is all the credit of the rootless fire in his body." ”

Qu Yinling nodded and said, "We didn't have evidence before, so we didn't dare to do anything. Now that the evidence is conclusive, there is no reason to let go of the Beijiang Gang. ”

After she said this, a task immediately popped up in the task bar of the Shen Lu system.
