"Take me to see where that strange thing is happening. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Lu Sheng is not nonsense, now the situation is chaotic, and there are still weird chaos.
If it was Hongfang, it would never be such a small family, and the disappearance of a few ordinary people would have no impact on the Zhen family, and it might in turn cause the royal family's disgust towards it, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"It's just outside the city on the edge of the docks. Ning San promised.
The two rode fast horses, and Xu Fu received the news and quickly selected someone to follow behind.
Running all the way, I walked around the mountain city for about half an hour. Ning Sancai stopped at a small dock in the wilderness, turned over and dismounted.
Lu Sheng dismounted and glanced around.
The river is calm, there are faint white lines floating in the distance, and the sun is shining, making the water surface shine from time to time.
Several long fishing boats slowly cruise along the river, and fishermen cast nets on the boats to fish.
At noon, the temperature was slightly hot, and there were some shirtless coolies carrying goods on the docks. Several caravans waited to the side, watching as the cargo continued to be loaded onto the ship.
"Where is the accident?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown. Such a scene does not look like a place where a crime occurred.
"On the right side of this pier, some people often see people carrying sedan chairs over there in the middle of the night, and there is no sound. Ning San replied.
As the two spoke, they walked towards the riverbank on the right.
Until he walked to the place, Lu Sheng sensed all the way, and he didn't feel the slightest yin qi existing. With no clue, he couldn't figure out the problem.
"I'll wait here tonight, I'm going to see for myself what this sedan chair is. He narrowed.
During the battle between the Red Fang and the Zhen family, there were still people who dared to reach out to the Red Whale Gang's important places such as Yanshan City. No matter who it is, it is a naked provocation to the Zhen family and the Red Whale Gang.
Looking at the crowd on the dock, Lu Sheng didn't speak again, just stood on the bank of the river without saying a word.
He didn't move, and Ning San didn't dare to move, and soon Xu Fu arrived with more than a dozen people, and under Lu Sheng's arrangement, he touched the terrain around the dock. But he found Zheng Xinzhong, the head catcher of the yamen who was still guarding here.
Lu Sheng found a place to rest in a nearby fishing village, and by the way, he also met Zheng Zhutou of this yamen.
"Jade Lotus Seed?" Zheng Zhutou stood in front of Lu Sheng with a hint of respect, and after hearing the inquiry, his face showed doubt.
"The day before yesterday, he said that he was dispatched with the king of our yamen to investigate the ghost sedan chair case in the middle of the night here. Oh, I haven't come back yet. He replied quickly.
The people here are out for investigation, because there is no timely means of communication, and it is not a big deal to leave for three or five days.
"So since they left, has the sedan chair still appeared?" Lu Sheng continued.
"Last night again...," Zheng Zhutou replied with a wry smile.
"Seems useless?"
"No, it feels like it's a lot shorter. Zheng Zhutou replied quickly.
"The time is much shorter...."Lu Sheng thought for a while, let the head catcher leave, he asked his subordinates to borrow pen and paper, write a letter by hand, seal the wax, and let people send it to the helper of the Red Whale.
He wants to inquire about the case to see if the Zhen family has a reaction. It stands to reason that there was no conflict in such an important place before, but now that there is a conflict with the Red Fang, the Zhen family will never allow such an uncontrolled thing to occur on the edge of the city.
Together with Ning San, he gave a little money in the nearby village and found a place to rest, Lu Sheng left only Ning San and Xu Fu, and let the rest go back.
The three of them waited by the river until night, but the sedan chair didn't see it, but they happened to see the jade lotus seed that had returned from exhaustion, appearing by the river.
Lu Sheng led people to guard the shore and saw the jade lotus seeds looking around in the dark, as if they were looking for something.
"Let's go, go up and have a look. He took the lead and approached.
Xu Chui and Ning San looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
The three of them got closer, only to find that Yulianzi's face was tired and her expression was a little lost.
"Why are you here?" Yu Lianzi also saw Lu Sheng who led people forward.
"How's it going?" Lu Sheng asked, leaning closer.
"It's very troublesome, I was separated from Wang Zhutou, and I couldn't find him in the future. Outside, something has been wrong lately. Jade Lotus said solemnly.
"Isn't the situation right?" Lu Sheng was stunned, "How is it wrong?"
"Tell you the truth. Yu Lianzi said softly, "When Wang Zhutou and I caught up, we also saw that someone was faster than us, and they chased after us first. “
"Is there anyone else? Do you see what it's like?" Lu Sheng frowned and asked, this kind of thing is usually avoided by ordinary people, but there are still people who dare to take the initiative to catch up, and they can be faster than the jade lotus seed with good martial arts. That's kind of interesting.
"Not only that, but there have been very few strange things in our jurisdiction along the mountain city recently. Originally, the huge city and the surrounding area had a large population, and because of some time ago, there were some cases that could be demons and ghosts almost every once in a while.
And now, after more than ten days and a half in a row, this one has appeared. And his subordinates suspect that after today, the ghost sedan chair will never appear again. Jade Lotus Seed said in a low voice.
"Oh, what do you say?" Lu Sheng asked rhetorically.
Although the subordinates didn't catch up, they heard a scream from the front halfway, as if someone was fighting, and when they got closer, they couldn't see anything, leaving no traces. Jade Lianzi said in a deep voice, "So it's very likely that someone settled this matter before us in advance." ”
Lu Sheng didn't speak, and was silent.
It's really abnormal, he ran over, intending to solve a few cases to earn contributions to the gang, but he didn't expect to learn about such a situation.
"Why didn't you tell me if something happened before?"
The subordinates also saw that everything was going well, so they didn't tell the foreign minister. Jade Lotus smiled bitterly.
"Let's go, let's go back first. Lu Sheng looked around, the river wind was cold and full of moisture, not a place to speak.
"Yes!"
The group left the riverside and rode back to the Jinyuhua house overnight.
The night was deep, and Lu Sheng walked on the road, but he felt more and more a sense of depression before the dark clouds overwhelmed the heavy rain.
He didn't know what was wrong, but if he could make him feel this way, there must be something wrong.
"Outside.... It's dark at night, why don't we go back tomorrow and rest in the fishing village for the night?"
The four of them rode horses and walked on the dark official road, only a little moonlight above their heads could borrow light, and they couldn't see clearly at all. The horses accidentally go the wrong way, and they need to be corrected from time to time, which is very difficult.
"I naturally have my point. Lu Sheng said in a deep voice, he can't say that he feels wrong. "By the way, is there anything strange about the rest of the gang except for us recently?"
When it comes to this, Yulianzi understands it quite clearly.
"There is no strange thing, that is, the head of the Forest Society announced the retreat, and it has been going on for a long time.
There are also high-level changes to travel to the Central Plains together. Nothing else. ”
"Really....?" Lu Sheng didn't know what his hunch was, and he hadn't felt this way before, but this kind of blessing and misfortune would rather be believed than not believable.
After riding the horse for a while, suddenly Lu Shengle stopped his horse. Look ahead.
In the distance, along the mountain castle outside a mountain forest location, it seems to be at the foot of the East Mountain. There was a faint glow of fire in the night sky.
"There's a fire there, do you know what it is?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
But he didn't want to answer without a voice behind him, he looked back, but saw that Yulianzi's face was like earth. Looking at the fire, his face was sluggish.
"That'..... In that direction, only the headquarters of the Change Gate Wan Qing Building was there! Such a sky-high fire was not a fire, it was a fire smoke from Wan Qing Building!" His voice trembled a little.
"Fire and smoke call for help?? Is the situation serious?What does it have to do with our Red Whale Gang?" Lu Sheng didn't understand that Yu Lianzi was scared like this, he was a very calm person on weekdays. Don't be scared by what the other gang is doing.
But now he is behaving like this, there must be a deep reason.
Sure enough, Jade Lianzi's face turned pale, and she stared at the fire intently and said slowly.
"Outside, the fire smoke call for help, it will only be lit when the change gate is destroyed by the catastrophe, the last time it was lit, it was still during the gang war, the change gate headquarters was almost wiped out, and the branch was summoned to return to help. ”
"That has nothing to do with us, right?" Ning San wasn't very clear why Jade Lianzi was scared like this.
"No.... No...."Jade Lianzi gritted her teeth, "It's not a secret...", he leaned closer to Lu Sheng's ear and said softly.
"The owner of the change gate is the eldest son of the old gang leader, Hong Xingrong. And the entire Change Gate is actually the strongest invisible force under the command of the old gang leader.
The gate of change is the Red Whale Gang. ”
At this moment, Lu Sheng completely understood, he had always been strange, he hadn't seen many of Hong Mingzi's heirs come forward, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret relationship.
The door of change was destroyed, doesn't it represent the eldest son of the senior brother, Hong Xingrong.....
His face froze, and he immediately knew the seriousness of the situation.
"Let's go, go to HQ now!"
Several people sped up and went straight to the Red Whale.
Without stopping all the way, under the bumps and bumps, finally when the sky was slightly bright, it was difficult to reach the Red Whale.
The entire Red Whale was brightly lit, and it was busy and tense, with a large number of wagons and ox carts constantly coming and going from the side of the ship.
Buckets of water were poured into the bucket behind the ox cart, and they were quickly pulled in the direction of the change gate. It's not far from there, and the ox carts are a quick drive away.
Lu Sheng's image is distinct, someone has long remembered it, he took people off the horse, and someone immediately led the horse to greet him.
"Where's the helper?" he asked urgently.
"Look back and rest in the garden. The gang who came to greet him replied respectfully.
Lu Sheng didn't stop at the moment, took the jade lotus seeds, asked the rest of the people to wait elsewhere, and rushed straight towards the small garden.
His face was serious, and along the way, the guards who originally wanted to step forward to stop him and warn his gang leader that he was resting did not dare to step forward.
Lu Sheng is the third leader in the gang, with strong strength and violent temperament, and he dared to kill the daughter of the deputy gang leader in front of everyone in front of the boat, and he became famous for his murder.
Hurriedly pushing open the iron gate of the small garden, Lu Sheng saw Hong Mingzi standing under the yellow lantern at a glance.
The current leader of the Red Whale Gang, the master of the Red Sun Gate, looked back and looked at him, and the whole person seemed to be much older.
The first words he said made Lu Sheng change color.
"Senior brother, Zhen family..... Escaped...."
