Chapter 553: Someone from the Criminal Department
Mu Qianren spoke very slowly, as if he was struggling to recall his past. It can be seen that what he said is his own personal experience. Lu Wuji didn't expect that Mu Qianren was also a person with a story.
At this moment, Lu Wuji suddenly felt that he was a little too shallow compared to Lu Xiaoxian, Mu Qianren and Lao Zhaohua.
After a pause, a smile suddenly appeared on Mu Qianren's face: "I think it's good to be like this now, although it is a coarse tea and light meal, but I live a down-to-earth life, I live a natural life, and I don't have to have nightmares at night!" ”
Speaking of this, Mu Qianren said to Lu Wuji: "Nonsense, what I said is true, your current situation is really not suitable for going to Chang'an!" ”
Mu Qianren's eyes were sincere, and he could see that he was doing good for Lu Wuyi.
Lao Zhaohua is not so polite when he speaks: "What Xiao Mu said must be right, Chang'an is not as easy to mix as you think." There is the foot of the Son of Heaven, walk on the street and take out one at random, either a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking family, which is not ten times stronger than you. If you can't get a foothold in Youzhou, going to Chang'an is no different from seeking death."
Lu Wuji was originally talking casually, but seeing that Mu Qianren and Lao Minghua both began to denounce him, he hurriedly argued: "Master, I'm just joking!" I promised my sister and third uncle to get rid of Master Lin and avenge them. If the affairs of Youzhou are not handled well, I will not go anywhere! ”
"You're telling the truth?" It's always called a flower, and her eyes are blazing.
"I swear, if I don't tell the truth, there will be five thunderstorms!" Lu Wuji swore by it.
Hearing Lu Wuji's heavy oath, Mu Qianren and Lao Minghua breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally fooling Mu Qianren and Lao Zhaohua over, Lu Wuji quickly changed the topic and said, "Master, have you seen Chang Jiao?" ”
"See!"
"How?"
"He agreed!" Lao Hua said slowly: "I often promise to formally propose to Master Lin that I will not pay any more money in the future!" ”
"Is this true?" Lu Wuji was dumbfounded: "Master, how did you convince him?" ”
Lu Wuji thought it was too incredible, and he spent a lot of effort to even use the most attractive martial arts stories as bait, often keeping his head in oil and salt, and not soaking in water and fire. The old man called Hua how much effort he had to make, and he did it all at once.
"Master naturally has Master's method, you don't need to know this!" There is a hint of naughtiness in the smug expression of the old flower.
"The veteran is out, a top two! Cow, that's a cow! It seems that ginger is still old and spicy! Lu Wuji threw himself to the ground for the five-body body that the old man admired.
"Don't be too happy!" Lao Zhaohua was worried that Lu Wuxian would get carried away, glanced at Lu Xiaoxian with an expressionless face, and then looked at Lu Wuxian again, and deliberately reminded: "Master Lin is not a master to be messed with, he often proposes not to pay money, Master Lin will definitely not give up, and the break is inevitable!" You still have to think about it more, you often turn your head and Master Lin really turn your face, what should you do! ”
"I see!" Lu Wuji nodded solemnly.
Lao Zhaohua has solved such a big problem, if he doesn't think about the rest of the things more thoughtfully, Lu Wuji can't help himself.
"Strike while the iron is hot, let's go, let's do one more thing!" The old name is Hua Chong, and Lu beckons nonsense.
Lu Wuji asked curiously, "Master, what's the matter?" ”
"Since I helped you get the head of Chang, then simply take care of Lu Zhutou too, so that you can let go of your hands and feet to implement your plan!"
"Master, do you mean to say that we will go to see Lu Zhutou now?"
Lu Wuji's eyes are different when he looks at the old Huazi, how can his ability and means be like an inconspicuous Huazi, he is clearly the prince of Youzhou!
"Of course!" After that, the old flower walked out.
Lu Wuji followed closely.
Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly said, "I'll go with you too."
Out of the land temple, a few towards the official street to stab the history of the office.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the mansion, I happened to see Lu Zhutou with a group of catchers, hurriedly coming out of it.
"Lu Zhutou!" The old flower shouted loudly.
Lu Zhutou followed the prestige and saw Lu Wuji and the three of them. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and nodded at Lao Zhaohua and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Lu Zhutou, can you take a step to speak?" The old flower pleaded.
Lu Wuji felt weird, and the old call Hua was obviously pleading, but he heard the smell of the order. Lu Wuji was very worried that Lu Zhutou would feel unhappy because of the tone of the old flower.
Lu Zhutou was still a little hesitant, but he still agreed.
He turned his head and commanded the catchers with a calm face, "You go first, and I'll come later." ”
After listening to Lu Zhutou's instructions, the catchers quickly left.
Lu Zhutou followed Lao Zhaohua to the corner of the wall on the right side of the gate of the mansion, and listened to Lao Zhaohua explain his intentions, Lu Zhutou was stunned.
He seemed to feel a little ridiculous, and said to the old man with a bitter face: "Are you mistaken, let me drink with him?" ”
Lao Zhaohua explained: "Of course it's not you who drink with him, it's him who drinks with you!" I'm in for a treat, so you can enjoy it! ”
"Isn't that the same thing?" Lu Zhutou shook his head and said, "It's not that I refute your face, I'm afraid it won't work in the near future!" ”
"Why?" Lao Zhaohua stared at Lu Zhutou and asked.
"I won't hide it from you, Leng Qing, the chief arrester of the Imperial Court Criminal Department, came to Youzhou on business, and he will be here today, no, I was ordered by Lord Shi to be assassinated, and I was about to go to the city gate to meet the head arrester of Leng? Think about it, such a big man came to Youzhou, and I had to wait every step of the way, how could I have time to drink? ”
Leng Qing?
How did he get here?
Could it be ......
Lu Xiaoxian subconsciously looked at Mu Qianren beside him, Mu Qianren was also looking at him, and as soon as the eyes of the two collided, he knew that they were both worried about the same thing.
No wonder Lu Zhutou was so nervous, and he always frowned slightly: "The chief catcher of the Criminal Department?" What is he doing in Youzhou? ”
Lu Wuji glanced at Lao Huazi in surprise, he was just a Huazi, how could he ask such a confidential question, even if Lu Zhutou knew, he would definitely not tell him.
Who knew that Lu Zhutou didn't think about it and said: "He was ordered to come to arrest a prisoner of the imperial court, and it is said that this person is hiding in Youzhou City." You guys have been careful lately, don't rush into Mr. Leng's headcatcher, otherwise a catastrophe will come! ”
With that, Lu Zhutou turned around and walked towards the west city gate.
The flower always stood in place, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mu Qianren's face became unnatural, and he seemed to be at a loss.
After a long time, the old flower said to Lu Wuji: "Let's go!" ”
"Master!" Lu Wuji whispered, "I want to take a look at this chief catcher, do you think so?" ”
When Mu Qianren heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Nonsense, these people in the court have a big official frame, stay here, if you are not careful, you will get into trouble, it is better to stay away!" ”
Lu Wuji shook his head, and then begged the old man Hua Yang: "Master, I'm far away, just take a look!" ”
The head of the Criminal Department is the head arrester, this is a big official from Chang'an, of course Lu Wuji is not willing to give up such an opportunity.
He was about to lose his temper, but he heard Lu Xiaoxian say lightly: "If he wants to see it, let him take a look!" ”
The old man looked at Lu Xiaoxian puzzled, wanting to see some clues from his face, but Lu Xiaoxian's face was calm as usual, and he couldn't see anything.
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Lu Wuxian's pitiful appearance again, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he sighed and said, "Then take a look, and leave as soon as you're done!" ”
"Thank you, Master!" Lu said nonsensically.
Mu Qianren couldn't help but shake his head, secretly wondering in his heart: What is Xiao Xian's idea in his heart?
Several people came to the street more than ten steps away from the east side of the Assassin's Mansion and stood still, and the old man said: "Just watch it here, and when they enter the Mansion, we will leave!" ”
"Got it, Master!" Lu Wuji agreed, but his eyes were attracted by the two carriages.
Lu Xiaoxian felt strange and also looked at the carriage.
The carriage in front was tentary, with a sedan curtain and windows. A carriage in the back pulled a lot of stuff, and it was sturdy and tied with oilcloth. Obviously, this is a posture of going out or moving.
A man looked out of the window of the caravan with a look of lingering and farewell.
This face turned out to be Hua Yunfeng's.
Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly stepped forward, stopped the carriage, and asked Hua Yunfeng, "Hua Langzhong, where are you going?" ”
"Master Lu! I'm going to Chang'an! There was a hint of helplessness and reluctance in Hua Yunfeng's tone.
"To Chang'an?" Lu Xiaoxian was surprised, "You are doing well in Youzhou City, why do you want to go to Chang'an?" ”
"Lu Gongzi doesn't know!" Hua Yunfeng explained, "My father went out to travel in his early years, and there has been no news, and I have asked around about his whereabouts over the years, but there has been no result. A few days ago, I learned the news that my father was in Chang'an, so I had to rush over to meet my father! ”
"Oh, that's right!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized, and then he was a little lost, and said abruptly: "You go, I don't know when we can meet again!" ”
Hua Langzhong said with a smile: "Where do you not meet in life, if the son has the opportunity to go to Chang'an, come to find me!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian seemed to think of something again, and asked with some concern: "You are leaving, what can I do about Miss Lin's illness?" ”
"Out of the way!" Hua Yunfeng replied, "There is no cure for her illness at present, as long as she takes medicine on time according to my prescription, she should be able to control it." ”
Lu Xiaoxian was a little reluctant, nodded to Hua Yunfeng and said, "If I have the opportunity to go to Chang'an in the future, I will definitely visit you!" ”
Looking at the carriage in the distance, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh.
After about half an hour, I saw Lu Zhutou leading a few people in the direction of the mansion.
When Lu Zhutou and Zhu Kuai went to greet them, they did not ride horses, but at this moment, Zhu Kuai led five horses, indicating that there should be five people from the Criminal Department.
The leader of Lu Zhutou's accompaniment said something as he walked.
There is no doubt that the person who was accompanied by Lu Zhutou was Leng Qing, the chief catcher of the Criminal Department.
