Chapter VII Venue I

"Arrange that's a certainty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info is just ....."

The fat man is a little embarrassed, who are the people in this black meeting?

Murderers, robbers, bandits, thieves, anyone from unknown sources can enter, in case Brother Sheng accidentally clashes with someone, where is the injury, that is wrong.

"It's just that I'd better keep a low profile, right?" Lu Sheng smiled, knowing the other party's concerns.

He not only represents himself, but also represents the Lu family in Jiulian City, once he suffers any damage, the Lu Mansion will definitely settle accounts with him Zheng Xiangui.

"It's good that you know, Brother Sheng, your identity is different, if it were someone else, I wouldn't be so worried..."Zheng Xiangui sighed.

"Got it, you can arrange it for me, I must get this thing. Lu Sheng couldn't help but say.

"Alas...."Zheng Xiangui had no choice but to respond.

Lu Sheng and he carefully determined the time when the black party would start, and then waited for Zheng Xiangui to send a distinguished guest invitation.

He took the invitation card and walked out of the restaurant.

"Good rouge gouache, girls and ladies come and see. ā€

"The best first-class products, the original goods that came in from Zihua City!"

"Hydrangea blush, no other store like no other!"

On the street outside the restaurant, vendors push wooden carts for buying gouache and slowly move along the street.

Lu Sheng swept his eyes, this street was originally dedicated to selling rouge gouache.

Many women's families like to visit here.

As the sun set, a drizzle had just fallen on the street, and the ground was wet and reflective, reflecting a pale red.

Lu Sheng exhaled, and as soon as his breath came out, it turned white and slowly dispersed.

He looked back at the restaurant, and the huge shadow of the goldfish restaurant was cast by the sunlight.

This is the largest restaurant in Jiulian City, and it is a lively time at this time, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going to eat. The sound is noisy and abnormal.

Lu Sheng stood in the shadow of the restaurant and looked to the sides.

Except for the entrance of the restaurant, the rest of the place is a little deserted.

Hawkers pushed gouache carts and moved slowly, constantly moving in the shadows.

Lu Sheng looked at it, and wanted to buy some small gifts for Erniang and Yiyi. The gouache is not expensive, and the quality can occasionally be found in good goods, which is a good small gift.

He walked a few steps down the street, trying to pick and choose which vendor was better.

In the afternoon, the streets became more and more deserted, and many shops were closed.

There aren't many passers-by on either side of the street, and only a few can be seen occasionally.

What is strange is that these gouache vendors are smiling and shouting when they see that there is no one around.

Shouts echoed through the empty streets.

Lu Sheng squinted, but he didn't feel weird, the heart path may be a unique rule phenomenon in this world.

He sifted left and right and found a vendor whose cart had been painted red. There is a walking banner on the peddler's cart, on which is written: Zhongyuan Liji gouache.

The peddler was pushing the cart slowly, smiling on his face, wearing a gray cloth coat and a gray and white melon skin hat.

"I remember that Liji gouache is a more formal old business in the Central Plains. ā€

Lu Sheng thought back from his memory, and slowly walked towards the vendor's cart. I plan to choose some good gouache for Erniang and Yiyi.

The vendor walked slowly forward, and there were a few children playing on the side.

The cart slowly passed the children, and then turned towards an alley in the shadows of the street.

Lu Sheng estimated that he was about to collect the car, so he was ready to speed up and catch up.

"Hey!

Suddenly, a voice stopped him from behind.

The voice is quite familiar, and it seems to be someone you know.

Lu Sheng turned around and saw a dark-skinned scholar walking briskly.

"Lu Sheng?"

He hesitated, recognizing the other party's identity.

Lu Sheng Lu Junyi, and Lu Sheng are also standard rich sons in Jiulian City, but he is different from others, this guy is famous. He was admitted to Xiucai not long ago, and it is said that his literary talent is not bad.

Lu Junyi actually has a general relationship with him, but because his name is the same as that of a Liangshan hero, Lu Sheng will remember his name once he hears it.

"Brother Sheng, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, the rivers and lakes are in emergency!" Lu Junyi took two steps closer to him with a red face.

Lu Sheng immediately understood what this guy was looking for him. Although he is a rich man, he is extremely fond of gambling money, and often makes his pockets shy and borrows money everywhere.

At present, it is estimated that the gambling funds are gone.

He smiled and took out ten taels of silver from his waist bag and handed it over.

"How's your luck today?"

"It's okay, it's okay, hahaha, it's still Brother Sheng'er who is righteous enough. ā€

Lu Junyi took the silver and left in a hurry.

Lu Sheng shook his head, money is a trivial matter, anyway, the Lu family has a big business, and someone will send money when they turn around.

He turned his head and went back to the gouache vendor.

The peddler's cart had already entered the alley, and there was still a small half of it outside.

He took three steps and made two quick steps.

Follow into the alley.

"Huh??"

Lu Sheng's footsteps paused abruptly.

This alley is actually a dead end!

It was empty, there were no carts, not even a single figure.

His eyes narrowed, and his body was already slightly alerted.

He scrutinized the dead end from beginning to end, from left to right.

This alley, which is only a dozen meters long, is flanked by the gray and black walls of the houses, and at the end is blocked by a black wall that looks a little old, and a few seals are pasted on it.

The seal in red and white looks a little gloomy in the setting sun, and the corners are turned up, and it seems that there is no stickiness.

"There is no secret door in the wall, so where is the cart going.....?"

Lu Sheng recalled repeatedly, and he clearly remembered that the small cart had entered this alley.

He exited and saw a few children still chasing and playing on the side of the road.

These children are dressed relatively plainly, and they seem to be ordinary children.

Lu Sheng put on a smiling face, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and grabbed a little girl chasing people.

"Little girl, is it okay to ask you something?"

"Brother, what do you want to ask, you say. ā€

The little girl was tied with two pigtails, ninety years old, her face was flushed, she often played on the street, and she was not afraid of strangers, so she replied generously.

"Brother wants to ask, did you see the cart of the gouache passing by here just now? Did you enter this small alley?"

Lu Sheng stuffed two copper coins into the little girl's palm.

The little guy immediately smiled.

"Don't you see the gouache truck? We play here every day, and the gouache truck usually comes to sell it in the morning, and we all go to the antique street in the afternoon. ā€

"Didn't see that?"

Lu Sheng was stunned, thinking that the child was deliberately lying.

Seeing his expression, the little girl replied seriously with wide eyes.

"What I'm saying is true, there are no cars on the street today, don't believe you go and ask other people, the streets are empty and there is nothing. ā€

At this time, the rest of the children also ran over to echo him.

"Yes, yes, my mother was going to come over to buy something, but it's strange that none of those carts are gone. ā€

"This brother said that he had just seen a gouache of rites. The little girl pointed to Lu Shengdao.

"Where, where?"

"I didn't see it, it's so big on this street. ā€

"Brother saw it in his dream, right?

A group of little ones started laughing again as they talked.

The smile on Lu Sheng's face gradually disappeared.

He turned his head to look at the Goldfish Restaurant.

The restaurant in the shadow is full of people and business.

It's bustling there, in stark contrast to the deserted streets here.

"So did you see .....?"

Lu Sheng turned around, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The children around him, I don't know when, all disappeared.

The surrounding streets looked deserted, empty, and empty.

Not even pedestrians.

The child's noise disappeared in an instant, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for a child of this age to have such a tacit understanding and disappear all at once.

Lu Sheng is confident, he is also a person who has practiced the Black Tiger Knife, and even the wild wolf can detect it when he listens to the wind, but he didn't notice the sound of a few children leaving.

Looking at the barren and dead street, he suddenly shivered and walked quickly towards the Goldfish Restaurant.

Bang bang bang ....

The footsteps were clear and unusual, and the closer he got to the restaurant, the more he felt a sense of warmth.

Wow!!

Suddenly, as if breaking through the water from underwater, Lu Sheng suddenly felt that everything around him was alive and full of life.

One by one, guests with body temperature passed by him, and someone accidentally bumped into him and quickly apologized to him.

Another lady got off the carriage and slowly walked into the restaurant with a smile, and was welcomed in by the little maid.

Standing in front of the restaurant, Lu Sheng looked at the street selling gouache again, but he didn't know when there were more passers-by on it.

It is completely different from the previous coldness.

Lu Sheng gasped and quickly stopped a carriage.

"Go to Lufu. ā€

"Okay, sit down!"

As soon as the coachman whipped his horse, the thin old horse suddenly moved slowly.

Sitting in the car, Lu Sheng was thinking about the things he had encountered before.

The peddler, the children, were all abnormal.

He recalled it now, and the smile on the peddler's face, which seemed to be motionless, gave a taste of extreme falsehood.

Thinking of the tragedy of the Xu family, he suddenly had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

"It's getting more and more dangerous in this city," he muttered.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the road.

The porter saw Lu Sheng sitting in the car and hurried to catch up.

"Eldest son, are you back?"

The porter's surname is Wang, the eighth in the family, everyone calls him Xiaoba on weekdays, he is a very clever young man, only seventeen this year, he inherited his father's work, and also came to the Lu family to be the gatekeeper.

Xiaoba and Lu Sheng are also quite familiar, and often tell Lu Sheng some interesting stories and anecdotes that circulate in and out of the city.

This is also what Lu Sheng likes to hear.

"Is the master there?"

Lu Sheng got out of the car and paid, and asked casually.

"The master went to the yamen again, and the prefect summoned him, as if he was looking for something. ā€

Hachi laughed.

"Looking for something?"

Lu Sheng has been busy with his own affairs for the past few days, but he doesn't care about the house.

"What's that?"
