Chapter Thirty-Five: The Headhunter Arrives
On the first day of April, the spring was bright, and the fragrance of pear blossoms outside Qinglan City came to the nostrils, and they all drifted to the city.
From this point of view, Lu Ming did not deceive Tie Lihua.
Moreover, he also made a special trip to the city at the fourth watch and arranged it in the pear grove outside the post station, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the two of them to enjoy the flowers without saying a word.
The fragrance of pear blossoms and the delicious food and wine make it look like a place to talk about love.
Early in the morning, as soon as Lu Ming entered the main courtyard, he saw Tie Lihua dressed up and standing at the door, obviously waiting for him.
In fact, it's not about dressing up carefully, but I just took off the brocade clothes of the demon town on weekdays, changed into a black and white floral dress, and added a little light makeup on my face.
But for Tie Lihua, Lu Ming was sure that this was the first time, and he was about to walk smoothly. Especially the acquaintances I met by chance on the road, they all looked like they had seen a ghost, and hurried by with their heads down.
Lu Ming couldn't help laughing, and walked out of the city with the uncomfortable iron pear blossom and went straight to the pear forest.
Seeing that Tie Lihua was puzzled, Lu Ming hurriedly explained: "Don't blame me, my lord, the old black is thin-skinned, if we meet at the post station, I will definitely not dare to go out with you." ”
Tie Lihua nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay like this." ”
Lu Ming knew that what Tie Lihua meant by saying this was to avoid leaking the news and being detected by Ling Fenghou.
After settling down Tie Pear Flower, Lu Ming went to the post station to pick up Lao Hei again, and sent him outside the pear grove under the pretext of wine and delicacies. For a delicious and alcoholic person like Lao Hei, this is the best bait.
In fact, Lu Ming has already discovered that Lao Hei will not take the initiative to reject Tie Pear Flower, but he is just incomprehensible.
"Wine and food in the grove, even if it is wooden, it will not be ignorant...... "Sighing like an old father, Lu Ming left the pear grove without looking back and went back to the city.
Before going back, he also specially explained to Sun Yaozu and asked him to lead people to block this pear grove far away, so as to prevent someone from disturbing the lifelong events of the two.
Back in the city, Lu Ming was not idle, he first went to Wangyue Tower to book the best third-floor box, and then went to purchase a batch of qi and blood pills, and then returned to the small courtyard of the Town Demon Division and practiced the knife until sunset.
Every battle has a gain, martial arts are dead, but people are alive, if you just rely on a perfect but fixed routine to win every battle, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
After swallowing two qi and blood pills, Lu Ming regained his strength again, and then put on civilian clothes and went out.
On the third floor of the Moon Tower, Lu Ming, as the protagonist of tonight, of course, is pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and he can't stop for a moment.
"Hall master, don't say anything else, as long as you can let me eat such a banquet often in the future, I will be the first to serve you. Niu Bi's face was flushed with drinking, and his rough voice even came out of Mochizuki Tower.
For most of the demon envoys, in fact, most of the monthly fortunes plus merit have no balance, because they have to constantly buy qi and blood medicine or exchange for martial arts, and it can be said that they are all moonlight clans.
The so-called poor literature and rich martial arts are talking about this truth. Without a certain amount of financial support, there is not even a single one who practices martial arts.
Lu Ming also made a few windfalls before he had a little savings.
He felt that what Niu Bi said made sense, if he wanted the group of demon suppressors under his command to return to their hearts, it was far from enough to rely on strength to deter, and he had to benefit them.
With benefits and wealth, these demon envoys, who are no more than forty years old, may soon be able to go further and have a greater usefulness.
At this point, Lu Ming already has some plans, and I believe that it will be effective soon.
Just when the group of law enforcement hall demon envoys were drinking heartily, Lu Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It was not yet the third watch, and the Moon Tower became a lot quieter, and it seemed that only they were left at the table.
"Hall Master, what's wrong?" Lang Song seemed to see that Lu Ming's expression was wrong, and after listening attentively, he put down the wine bowl and asked.
"Go out and have a look. Lu Ming was shocked and got up calmly.
However, as soon as he opened the door, Lu Ming saw a scarlet and dazzling word 'catch'.
This word is printed on the blue brocade clothes of a middle-aged man, and this person, Lu Ming has also seen, is Shen Li, the head catcher of Qinglan County.
Lu Ming's heart suddenly had an alarm, and he glanced at it, and the second floor was already full of county officials and city guards, which was a lineup that would only be dispatched when encountering a big case.
Especially Shen Li, known as the god of Qinglan City, has a dignified nine-rank official body, and he will not come forward in ordinary small cases.
"Lu Ming, you are suspected of killing Sun Qinglian, the leader of the Qinglian Gang, now come with me. Shen Li's face was full of majesty, holding the token in his hand, holding it in front of Lu Ming's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice.
Lu Ming was already completely awake, although he chuckled in his heart, but he also expected the scene in front of him, so he still calmly clenched his fists and asked, "Did Lord Shen misunderstand?" Lu didn't understand. ”
is not as calm as Lu Ming, the demon envoys who rushed up behind have already exploded. Wang Zhaodi strode forward, stared at Shen Li and shouted, "Shen Li, do you know what you're doing?
It's not that Wang Zhaodi is arrogant, but the Town Demon Division has always been strong, and there has never been such a thing as being bullied by the county government.
Just said that in this Moon Tower, don't look at Shen Li who brought more than ten fast catchers plus more than 30 city guards, if he really wants to fight, it is not enough for Wang Zhaodi to warm up alone. This is the strength of the Demon Division, and the county government can't afford to provoke it.
But Shen Li was unmoved, still staring at Lu Ming with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "It is a major murder case, and the Town Demon Division also needs to cooperate with the county government to review it, please Lord Lu Don't embarrass the villain." ”
Niu Bi's fist rattled, if it weren't for Lang Song pulling it aside, I'm afraid he would have rushed straight up and recklessly.
Lang Song spoke calmly at this time, and said with compassion: "The leader of the Qinglian Gang is dead, this is a case involving a true martial artist, it should have been tried by our Demon Division, why should the county government interfere?"
Shen Li seemed to have been prepared, and naturally replied: "This case does not involve demons and demons, and Lord Lu is a member of the Demon Suppression Division, so the Demon Suppression Division should avoid suspicion." ”
Lang Song was about to say more, but Lu Ming waved his hand to block the conversation, and smiled at Shen Li: "It's just an investigation, not a conviction, Lu can go with you." However, can Lord Shen wait outside the door so that I can appease my brothers? ”
Shen Li nodded slightly, and closed the door by the way.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ming opened the door with ease, and without resistance, followed Shen Li out of the Moon Tower.
"I want to see what the county government that dares to support Sun Qinglian relies on. ”
