CHAPTER XXV
Squeak...
Lu Sheng closed the wooden window and looked back at the room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He took off his coat and placed it on a wooden rack of clothes behind the door.
Then he opened the wardrobe, and inside were a few women's clothes worn by the dusty Sister Yu. Closing the cabinet door, Lu Sheng went to look at the dresser again.
There is no pattern on the simple dresser, just a bronze mirror in the center.
A little pink powder was sprinkled in front of the bronze mirror, and Lu Sheng reached out to dip it and took it to his nose to smell.
"Perfume powder for ordinary women. ”
Lu Sheng suddenly frowned.
"Sister Yu, I remember that she is not a person who likes to use incense powder. ”
Call....
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the candlelight shook suddenly.
Lu Sheng quickly grabbed the knife and looked around the room.
Phew.
The crack in the door that was not closed flashed by the corner of white clothes.
Lu Sheng walked over quickly.
"I remember I came in and closed the door. ”
He felt for the wooden plug, which was still open.
He opened the door and looked out into the hallway.
The hallway was empty and deserted.
A stream of cool air continues to pour here.
Lu Sheng glanced at it coldly and found no problems.
He went back to his room.
The door closed with a click.
He walked over to the table and sat down, his knife down and pressed it against the table, holding it in his hand.
He just sat there, slowly waiting for the so-called woman to cry.
The lights are like beans.
Time passes slowly.
Lu Sheng was supported by Yuhegong, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, and sat at the table in good spirits, waiting for the cry.
Later, when it was really fine, he used his mind to speed up the operation of the Jade Crane Gong.
Anyway, this health qigong is too stable, even if he wants to, he can't do it.
Time has passed a lot unconsciously.
Until a clear rooster crow came from the window, the originally dark window gradually turned into a pale white.
Lu Shengcai suddenly realized that he had been sitting like this all night.
"What about the woman's crying? nothing all night. ”
He could also see the faint light of the sky outside through the window.
Carrying the knife, Lu Sheng stood up and moved his body.
When he opened the door and walked out, some light came in the corridor, and he came to the courtyard of the lotus room, where the dishes and chopsticks he had eaten yesterday were still in place.
Voices could be faintly heard outside the courtyard.
Lu Sheng walked over and opened the door with force.
Daddy Lu Quan'an, Lu Yingying, Lu Yiyi, and a group of 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 Quanan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Xiaosheng!Are you okay!?"
His face was full of concern.
Lu Sheng saw that everyone was still holding torches in their hands, and when some guards arrived, they were still carrying unsheathed swords in their hands, and he was puzzled.
"What's wrong?" he asked, aloud.
Lu Quanan sighed.
"Last night, another person disappeared from the house. ”
"Uh-huh???"
Lu Sheng's eyes widened suddenly.
Erniang Liu Cuiyu stepped forward and said something.
It turned out that during the vigil of Lu Sheng, the rest of the people came around, and they really didn't hear any more women crying.
At the beginning, everything was normal, and many people were in their own rooms in the house, saying that they were resting, but in fact, most of them couldn't sleep, and they were waiting for the results.
But later, something happened.
"Eight horses he.... He said he was going to go to the thatched house, but he didn't expect to go and never come back..."
A chubby woman cried with a handkerchief.
This woman is the sister of Lu Sheng's biological mother, Sun Yan, that is, his aunt, Sun Zining.
The one who disappeared this time was Lu Sheng's cousin Sun Bajun.
Lu Sheng and Sun Bajun are not familiar with each other, this kid likes to gamble, and he is lazy and lazy, he is not used to it, and often reprimands him.
That kid doesn't like him because of this, and he usually takes a detour when they meet.
I didn't expect it to be him who disappeared this time.
Lu Sheng's brows tightened.
"I didn't sleep all night, I sat in my room and listened to the movement. I didn't hear any women crying. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly became a little cold.
"What the hell is going on!"
The aunt and grandson Ning burst into tears.
"Zining, don't worry, there must be a way. Erniang pulled her over to comfort her.
"Let's go to the lobby first, and let's discuss countermeasures. ”
Lu Quanan sighed.
The group had no choice but to leave here first.
Lu Quanan called Lu Sheng and a few immediate relatives and uncles over.
The lobby door was closed, and several people sat in their seats, and the atmosphere was dull.
Da Bo Lu Anping is a serious middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a Chinese face.
He wore the half-body silver scale armor common in the Great Song Dynasty, and carried an accessory scimitar at his waist, sitting beside Lu Quan'an with a solemn expression.
"The question now is whether to let the forces of the yamen intervene. Uncle said slowly. "If we can't find the source, I'm afraid we will have to rely on external forces later. ”
"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God...."Lu Quanan sighed, this was already how many times he sighed in a day.
In the past few days, his mental strength has been haggard, and the whole person has aged very quickly.
Lu Sheng sat in the lower seat, silent.
Lu Quanan glanced at his son.
"Xiaosheng, do you have anything to say, you are the future helmsman of the Lu family, and this family business will be all yours in the future, how to solve this dilemma now, do you know what to do?"
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, opened them again, and was about to speak back.
"Oh no, no, no!"
Suddenly, there was a small cry outside the door.
"The people in the mansion want to run away!"
Lu Sheng immediately got up, strode over to open the door, and saw Xiaoxiao waiting at the door with a red face.
"Childe, another person in the palace has disappeared, and the head of the guard, the king, has secretly run away with a number of people! I heard the news from my sister, so I hurried over to inform you. ”
"Ran away?"
Lu Sheng's eyes widened.
He guessed that there might be an escape due to the spread of panic, but he didn't expect it to appear so early.
"Where is Wang Chong now?"
"I don't know, we only found out when they ran away, and now Zhao Fanghu and they are also gathered together in the compound, I'm afraid they also want to run. ”
Xiao Xiao said hurriedly.
Zhao Fanghu is also another person who takes the lead among the guards.
"How many people are they gathered together?"
Lu Quanan asked quickly.
"I don't know, but there are a lot of people!" replied Tiny quickly.
"I'll take a look!"
Lu Sheng's face sank, and he strode towards the direction of the big courtyard.
Lu Quan'an and Da Bo Lu Anping also followed closely with gloomy faces.
Several people quickly came to the compound.
More than 20 people had gathered in the courtyard, most of them were guards, and a few maids were there.
There was panic on everyone's faces.
Some of them had already packed their bags and were ready to leave Lufu at any time.
As soon as they saw Lu Sheng and the others arrive, the originally noisy atmosphere of everyone became a little quieter.
"Who wants to go?"
Lu Sheng walked up to everyone and asked with an indifferent face.
"We all want to go!"
A guard man stood up, and it was Zhao Fanghu, with a hint of fear on his face.
"The eldest prince, we are also human beings and fate, the current trouble of the Lu family is not man-made at all, but a female ghost!"
His eyes widened, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Ridiculous!"
Lu Sheng interrupted him violently, his voice fierce.
"Who gave you the audacity to deceive the public!"
"But I saw it clearly! The white shadow, don't you Lu family want to pull us all to accompany ......"
Burst!
Blood spilled all over the ground.
The guard's head flew out of thin air, tumbling to the ground and slamming into the feet of a hand-in-waiting woman with a baggage.
"Whoever dares to deceive the public will die !!"
Lu Sheng roared, holding the knife and staring at the group of panicked people in front of him.
Poof.
Only then did the guard's headless body fall to the ground.
Yes!!!
The maid screamed.
"Shut up!"
Lu Sheng had a fierce intent on his body. With a sweep of her eyes, the screaming woman covered her mouth and cried quietly.
Where have the guards seen such a tragic and bloody scene?
One by one, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, their faces turned pale, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Get all of them back, dare to make trouble again, kill!"
Lu Sheng said sharply.
There was a deep fear in the eyes of the crowd.
Forced by Lu Sheng's obscenity, they remembered that this eldest prince had single-handedly killed several wanted criminals.
Immediately, everyone scattered as if fleeing.
The body of the guard who fell to the ground was also picked up by the guard who had not caused trouble before.
These family guards and maids, before entering the mansion, all signed a deed of sale.
If you want to go, you can go, is it really true that their Lu family is a soft-hearted good person?
When the people were finished, Lu Sheng turned around and saw that Lu Quan'an and Da Bo Lu Anping were both staring at him with surprised and complicated expressions.
"Countering violence with violence is just a stopgap measure. Uncle shook his head.
"Just calm down for a short time. If this matter can't be solved in the short term, 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 Quanan sighed. "It's good that you have a small victory this time. ”
Lu Sheng's decisive handling made him see his son's responsible and strategic side, and he was quite gratified.
Lu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Tonight, I'll keep vigil again, and I'll see what kind of thing dares to do anything in my house!
Rest assured, although I didn't find anything last night, I already noticed a little clue. ”
"Is this true?" Lu Quan'an lifted his spirits.
"It's true!"
"Do you need me to bring troops over?"
Uncle said seriously.
"Don't act rashly now, I'm afraid that if there are too many people, it will be a drag. These ghosts, no one knows what they are capable of. Too many people are in the way. You can be transferred to guard outside the house. ”
Lu Sheng shook his head.
"Yes, Xiaosheng, it's all up to you this time!" Uncle nodded, reaching out and patting Lu Sheng on the shoulder.
Although he is a deputy commander, he is not a martial artist, and the military attache of the Great Song Dynasty has not fought for many years.
In fact, speaking of which, his official position was still obtained by taking the art of war strategy and doing test papers. It has nothing to do with fighting.
The Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force has also been a bad habit for many years. So at this time, the backbone of the family is on Lu Sheng.
"Don't worry. Lu Sheng recalled the white corners of his clothes he saw, and he had a faint premonition in his heart.
If we can catch the man in white clothes, we may be able to solve the case of the continuous disappearance of people.
