In the dark night, the small courtyard of the Lu family was dark. Under the moonlight www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, only a faint firelight not far away could be faintly visible, accompanied by two figures slowly moving towards this side.

Zhu Zhendong squatted motionless behind the bushes, his eyes looked closely at the two people walking in front of him, and his breathing subconsciously became lighter.

Ding Hu, the coachman, walked ahead with a lantern to light the road ahead, while Lu Cheng walked slowly behind him.

Ding Hu is a new coachman hired by Lu Cheng, he is not very old, not tall, and his figure is not strong, what satisfies Lu Cheng the most is that his appearance looks ordinary, and his appearance is not good------

Lu Cheng feels that as a green leaf, you must have the consciousness that a green leaf should have, and the most important thing is not to be too handsome. Only such a coachman and entourage can bring out his handsome and chic temperament, isn't it?

"It's done, you can go down and rest by yourself."

When he came to his door, Lu Cheng stopped and said a word to Ding Hu, then casually pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing that the lantern was gradually moving away, Zhu Zhendong slowly raised his head from the bushes, and at this moment, a candle was also lit in Lu Cheng's house.

Zhu Butcher has been doing this business for many years, and it is easy to deal with an ordinary literati. But considering that it is easy to make a big move at this time, and it is not easy for him to get out afterwards, he continued to wait patiently.

Wait for the most opportune moment.

When the second watch rang, the candle was extinguished in Lu Cheng's room, and it seemed that he was ready to fall asleep.

After waiting quietly for about a quarter of an hour, Zhu Zhendong stood up from behind the bushes and silently came to the middle of the courtyard.

First he glanced back in the direction of the main house, and he knew that there must be a widow living there. But the matter is important, Zhu Zhendong finally chose to walk to the east wing.

When he came to the door, he tried to push the door gently------ but it didn't open.

He walked along the room to the window, and gently pushed the window again, and found that the window was not closed properly, and said that there was no need to pry the doors and windows hard.

Slowly pushing open the window, Zhu Zhendong turned over, quietly landed in the house and immediately squatted down.

When his eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the room, he half-crouched down and held his breath to the bed in the inner room.

At this time, on the bed, a figure lying flat could be faintly seen, covered with futon, and it seemed that he did not realize the arrival of his uninvited guest.

Zhu Zhendong endured a little nervousness in his heart, pulled out the short knife he was carrying inch by inch, and quietly approached the bed.

It's closer------

It's closer------

He was less than half a step away from his bed------

Zhu Zhendong knew that as long as he made a quick move at this moment, even if the other party had not fallen asleep, he would not be able to dodge his fatal knife.

Hand up, knife down!

is neat and tidy, just like when he learned that his wife was stealing, he was determined to change his career to murder, and he ended the dog life of the adulterer ** with two knives.

In order to prevent the other party from screaming and alarming the others, Zhu Zhendong also covered his head with his left hand at the same time.

However, something seems to be wrong?

Zhu Zhendong was surprised to find that when he went down, what he brought was not the touch of his flesh being torn by a sharp blade, and what he touched when he covered it with his left hand was not a face, but a soft pillow------

Suffered, fooled!

Zhu Zhendong was shocked, but a voice came from behind him in vain: "Hehe, there are friends from afar, so happy!" Late at night, I don't want to be well entertained, I hope you forgive me! ”

At the same time, the candlelight was lit, and the whole room suddenly became bright.

It was too late, it was too late, and the butcher roared angrily, and suddenly turned around and stabbed him in the back, without even having time to take a look at it.

Lu Cheng quickly retreated, but his right hand slammed forward at this time, and a handful of lime flew out of the sleeve of his robe, all of which were sprinkled on the other party's face.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng squatted on the ground, grabbed his hand to the side, grabbed a bucket of water that had been prepared a long time ago, and splashed it directly on the other party's face.

"Ah------h

The quicklime ignited when it touched the water, and the burning pain came from his face, and the butcher screamed miserably, and the dagger in his hand was also thrown out by him, and he ran rampage with his hands covering his face.

Syllable------

The door was kicked open, and Ding Hu rushed in, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw the situation in the house.

What kind of killer is this ------, and Childe subdued him alone?

So what do you have to do by yourself?

"Huzi, are you here?"

Lu Cheng turned his head and smiled at him easily, then nodded his chin to the butcher who was lying on the ground and howled, and ordered: "Tie him up for me, throw him in the firewood room, and send him to the government tomorrow." ”

Ding Hu couldn't help but shudder. Lu Cheng's relaxed smile had turned into a devil's sinister smile in his eyes at this time, and it was very infiltrating.

After tying up the butcher, Ding Hu turned around and glanced at Lu Cheng, swallowed his spit and said, "Gong------ Gongzi, are you a practitioner?" ”

After being attacked on the day of the Lantern Festival, Lu Cheng felt more and more that he needed to bring an entourage with him, and he didn't need to be very skilled, at least he had to have two hits, and he could also block himself in case of emergencies.

Then he fought a lawsuit with Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, and Lu Cheng felt that if he went to find manpower, he would stupidly insert an opponent's eyeliner next to him------

Therefore, he didn't dare to force too much, so he only asked Zuo Guoji to help find an entourage who could drive and could fight, which was the Ding Hu in front of him.

Ding Hu followed him, but it was only a few days of hard work, so he naturally didn't know much about his owner.

"What is the ------ of practicing the family?"

When Lu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, spread his hands and said, "I'm a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, what kind of practitioner is it?" ”

Ding Hu was skeptical about this, but he didn't ask any more, and dragged the butcher to the firewood room.

Ding Huren didn't look strong, but his strength was really not small, and he easily dragged the big guy out, and Lu Cheng was envious: "Hey, such a small person, his strength is quite big!" Sure enough, it's a hard worker------"

After that, Ding Hu turned around and came back, cleaned up the mess all over the ground for Lu Cheng, and then retreated.

After closing the doors and windows again, Lu Cheng sat down silently at the table, and his mood became a little heavy.

In fact, as early as this afternoon, he received a message from Zhang Chengyu, and kindly sent two people for him.

Lu Cheng was a little uneasy about him, so he naturally didn't dare to keep his people easily, so he sent them back again.

In the end, it is the person from the Zhang family's martial arts hall, Zhang Chengyu, who was born in the martial arts family, and he really looks down on this so-called killer invited by the dynasty.

Lu Cheng saw that his words were casual, so he didn't pay too much attention to Zhu Butcher, so he carefully arranged tonight's scene. In order to prevent accidents, he also specially told Ding Hu that he had to cheer up tonight and be ready to rush in to save people at any time.

In the face of a murderous gangster, it would be false to say that he was not nervous, but Lu Cheng was prepared in advance, and he was really not too worried that he would die at the hands of the other party.

In these years, the neighbors in the township are relatively close, and if any family is robbed, as long as they shout, enthusiastic neighbors will rush to help. If Ding Hu comes, it won't help, and he won't be killed on the spot.

No matter how high the kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives.

As soon as the hoe and wooden stick were shouted at the "little thief", Lu Cheng didn't believe that the killer could still bear it, at most he just let him run away.

Without knowing what was going on, who would have thought that Lu Cheng's family was not a thief, but a vicious gangster?

Now people are caught, but this lawsuit is not easy to fight.

After all, it was not a small person who wanted to kill himself this time, but Wang Chaoli.

His father is now the political envoy of Henan, and the most important thing about the division of the Liang ------ is that he seems to be going to enter Beijing as an official soon?

------

------

The next day, Lu Cheng escorted the butcher to Fucheng and directly sent the person to the yamen of the inspection envoy.

Intuition told Han Tae that the person who wanted to kill Lu Cheng this time was not small, otherwise the murderer would not have been sent directly by him to the envoy. But this case can't be ignored, and I really have a headache for a while.

He ordered the person to be temporarily detained pending trial, and sent Lu Cheng away.

As soon as Lu Cheng left with his front foot, Han Tae's back foot went to the prison and quietly interrogated the criminal.

And Lu Cheng was not idle, and went straight to the office where Jinyiwei was located. There's no way, the old guys in the officialdom are all human beings, and they really can't judge anything if they don't put pressure on Han Tae.

In fact, today's Lu Cheng is just a small captain, and he doesn't even have a serious official position, he just has a military registration in Jinyiwei.

Being able to enter the military status of Jinyiwei is already quite remarkable, which is not comparable to ordinary soldiers. Of course, this military status is just an additional identity for him, which can deter some petty officials with sesame mung beans.

The local Jinyi guards actually don't have any real power, and they can't arrest people without authorization, they are only responsible for monitoring the officials of one side and reporting the news to the Jinyi guards in the capital, and there are not too many people.

Lu Cheng, a small lieutenant, naturally commanded the Jinyi guards to work for him, but he has a little money now, and it is not a problem to let the brothers in the Jinyi guard help rob someone.

Speaking of which, he was able to get such an identity thanks to Zhu Muxian, the king of Zhou.

As a vassal king, Zhu Muxian naturally still has some friendships.

Let Lu Cheng get the military status of Jinyiwei, which is the condition for him to buy soap at a low price, in fact, this is also a great benefit that he intends to promise Lu Cheng.

The main reason is that he hopes that Lu Cheng can solve it by himself when he encounters trouble in the future. In case of a while, two more women came running and asked their prince to come forward to rescue him------

Lu Cheng was not stupid, of course, he would not refuse such a condition, so he agreed without hesitation.

With a military status, it will not affect oneself to take the imperial examination, whether it is Jinyi Wei or other guards, there are people who have been admitted to the Jinshi and abandoned martial arts.

Today's Zaifu Li Dongyang is a military family affiliated to Jin Wuwei.

Being involved with a vassal king will certainly bring some stains to Lu Cheng, but the impact will not be too great.

In fact, the business of the vassal king is tacitly approved by all parties, and few magistrates will make a small report to the emperor for such a big thing, and even if they do make a small report, it is not very useful.

The emperors of the past dynasties did not have high requirements for the vassal kings, as long as they did not rebel, they could do whatever they liked------ of course, they could not disregard human lives at will, otherwise it would cause local public indignation.

Doing business with the palace is naturally not a big deal. What's more, Lu Cheng's soap business is not managed by himself.

It's one thing for someone to know, but it's not easy for people to catch the handle.

After all, there is no rule, saying that no one can go to see the vassal king, right? If it is said that there is collusion after meeting a few times, it is simply nonsense.

Many magistrates themselves have some friendship with the palace, and they are a small student, of course, with such an opportunity, they are not exempt from vulgarity.

Jinyiwei's office in Kaifeng is not big, even smaller than the general judgment hall, and it is not open to the public at ordinary times.

This is an official office that does not have a director.

Civilian, criminal, tax, military------ Jinyiwei are not involved, the only thing to do is to spread some spies out to spy on the news in Kaifeng Mansion.

Lu Cheng came to the gate, handed the waist card representing his identity to Menzi, and was immediately released.

The entire front yard was deserted, and not even a ghost could be seen.

Lu Cheng went straight through the first courtyard and came to the third courtyard, only to faintly hear a few small shouts in his ears.

"Big, big, big------"

"I said little ------"

"What? Leopard, what are you kidding------"

“------”

Lu Cheng couldn't laugh or cry at this, these guys who don't do their jobs, are you worthy of your identity as a Jinyiwei?

Following the source of the sound, Lu Cheng followed the eaves of the corridor to the small room where everyone was, the place where the crowd gambled.

Tuk Tuk ------

The door was hidden, Lu Cheng raised his hand and knocked lightly, and the sound inside stopped abruptly.

"Who?" The person inside asked vigilantly.

"I'm Lu Cheng."

Lu Cheng honestly reported his identity, and then casually pushed open the door.

"Hey, it's Brother Lu, I'm still here as an adult."

"It's just that it scares us all a lot, come and come, play two together?"

"Hehe, Brother Lu is a rich man, if you dare to come here today, how can you let him go easily?"

A group of people surrounded him, forcibly pressed Lu Cheng to the chair, and forced him to bet together.

Of course, Lu Cheng knew their thoughts, and he had already brought enough silver, and after playing a few games at random, he talked to everyone about business.

As soon as they heard that Lu Cheng had been assassinated again, the brothers were a little stunned, and a stout man from Shandong blurted out: "My mother, what are you doing, so many people want your life?" ”

"No, it's just that you have a lot of things to do!" No need to listen, Lu Cheng knew that this was from the old brother in Guanzhong.

"Say, what do you want my brothers to do, and what is the origin of the other party?" Another asked.

"It seems that someone from the ------ Wang family did it." Lu Cheng replied quietly.

"Which royal family?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Political envoy, the big beam guards the Wang family."

“------”

No one answered anymore, everyone rolled their eyes, and said weakly: "Do you think this is Beizhen Fusi?" ”
