Chapter 236: Birthday Banquet
"Bastardβ"
A burst of shouts sounded in the dim secret room, and an old man in black cotton clothes kicked Lai Chuntao out with one kick.
On Mayday, in such a hot climate, the old man was dressed in a thick cotton coat, and if he walked out on the street, the old man would definitely be regarded as a psychopath.
Lai Chuntao's figure slammed into the opposite wall like an upside-down cannonball, his mouth full of blood, staining his mouth bright red. But Lai Chuntao didn't bother to wipe the blood, and immediately crawled back to the old man's feet like a dog.
"Uncle...... I was wrong...... I was really wrong...... Please...... Please...... Give me a chance...... Give me another chance......"
"You idiot, the world's first-class idiot......" The old man's sharp voice sounded, and he cocked his little finger and gently brushed the gray hair hanging from his sideburns.
"You actually lost the Gu Mother...... If you lose it, forget it...... You even let the Gu Mother fall into Lu Sheng's hands...... At this point, it's not a pity for you to die 10,000 times......"
"Uncle...... I was wrong...... I was really wrong...... Uncle, for so many years...... That's what I'm missing...... Uncle, give me a chance...... Give me a ......."
"Hmph, if it weren't for me, I would be a sister...... If it weren't for my sister being your son, I would have taken you to cultivate Gu Mother a long time ago. You're a wasted ...... who doesn't do enough to do more than you lose."
"Yes! Yes! I'm a waste! I'm a waste!" Lai Chuntao kept slapping himself, and after a while, Lai Chuntao's cheeks became red and swollen.
"Okay!" the old man frowned and drank, "I will find a way to do this......!" It seems that I can't keep ......."
"Uncle...... Why are we so jealous of that Lu Sheng? Even if he has the false name of the Sword Saint, isn't there that one behind us? Isn't it easy to get his life?"
"You know a fart!" the old man squinted his eyes and sighed with disappointment on his face, "Do you really think that we are going to deal with a Lu Sheng? Lu Sheng is just a kid who has been on the shit luck and stepped into officialdom for a year."
However, behind him is the famous Nanling Palace! What is the strength of the Nanling Palace, and what is the status in the emperor's heart? You don't know, you can go back, by the way, it will be your birthday in three days?"
"Yes...... Be...... Thank you, uncle, I still remember...... "Lai Chuntao knocked his head like pounding garlic."
"All the invitations have been sent out?"
"Don't dare, don't dare! I'll tell them and don't do it...... Don't do it,......," Lai Chuntao said tremblingly.
"Why not?" asked the old man playfully.
"Uncle, my nephew is wrong...... We need to keep a low profile, not ostentatious...... Can't be swaggering anymore......"
"Do you still know how to be low-key? Do you still know how to be low-key? If you want to be low-key, how could you think of planting Gu Mother on that Wang family? We have so many death row prisoners in our hands, just find one and you can be unaware. You're so stupid, how can you keep a low profile?"
"Uncle...... Those fifteen children, but they are all your favorite, uncle, if it weren't for that Cheng Xiang, how could they all be kidnapped by Lu Sheng? I just can't swallow this breath, I want to be angry for your uncle. β
"Okay! With your strength and vision, you can only be a third-rate gangster in this life, and your life will come to an end...... However, you have to do your big birthday, and you have to do it!"
"The nephew didn't dare to ...... Don't dare ......"
"If you want to do it, you can do it, what is so much nonsense?" the old man's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Not only do you have to do it, but also send an invitation to Lord Lu." β
"Lu Sheng, can he come?"
"You invite him, and he will definitely go. The old man smiled confidently.
Lu Sheng stayed in the study for two days, and in the past two days, Lu Sheng didn't do anything, just cleaned this Gu mother. Lu Sheng's stubbornness was committed, and basically no one could persuade him back.
Lu Sheng, the breed of Gu Mother, didn't know, maybe it was because of the different worlds, so the species had a big deviation. But even if there is a deviation in the species of Gu worms, the principle is exactly the same.
was abused by Lu Sheng in various ways, for Gu Mu, it is estimated that death is his best relief. But I have to say that Gu Mother's survivability is really good, even if he is burned, fed poison, sprinkled with salt, and sprinkled with pepper, he can carry it firmly.
Two days later, the Gu Mother no longer had the momentum of opening her teeth and dancing claws before, and the whole frightened little spider, as long as she saw Lu Sheng, the Gu Mother shrank on the wooden board and trembled.
It's like a little daughter-in-law who lets it be bullied.
And now, Gu Mu suddenly felt that her miserable life seemed to be coming to an end, and at this moment, Lu Sheng was already thinking about whether it was time to dissect Gu Mother.
Gu Mu's golden saliva is sepsis, there is no doubt about it. But no matter how Lu Sheng explores, Gu Mu is the antidote to sepsis.
This violates the basic law of Gu worms, all things in the world are mutually restrictive, and where poison infests, it must be accompanied by an antidote to restrain poison. In the same way, a venomous snake can kill, but its snake gall can.
Gu worms are basically like this, highly poisonous Gu worms must have a good antidote to poison. However, seventeen rabbits had died in two days. These rabbits are all victims of Lu Sheng's experiment.
Unable to find the antidote again, Lu Sheng could only find it from Gu Mu's body. However, there is only one Gu mother, and it is a pity that she died.
Lu Sheng thought about it, but he still didn't dare to put down the knife gently. Seeing Lu Sheng give up, Gu Mu screamed sadly. In words that Lu Sheng didn't understand, why did he stop at a critical time when he scolded and scolded Lu Sheng?
Gu Mother's accusation, Lu Sheng will not pay attention to it. But two days later, Lu Jian knocked on Lu Sheng's door.
"My lord, you haven't eaten for two days......" Lu Jian looked at the food still on the table and said with some complaints.
"For us innate martial artists, is it serious that we haven't eaten for two days?" Lu Sheng raised his head and said lightly.
"However, you haven't eaten, slept or even done anything else for two days, which is seriously inconsistent with your usual life, my subordinates have never seen you so focused......
"You just say I'm usually too lazy, don't you get it?"
"Dongcheng Yaxing has sent an invitation to invite you to the banquet tonight. β
"Damn!" Lu Sheng slapped his head suddenly, "I actually forgot about this...... This Gu Mother is inseparable from Dongcheng Yaxing, maybe she got a lot of Gu Mu through Dongcheng Yaxing. Lu Jian, did I say that Lai Chuntao is monitored around the clock?"
"Yes, the brothers have been watching, but Lai Chuntao rarely goes out, and he is usually in the Dongcheng dental shop, and only occasionally comes out to breathe...... The brothers monitored for more than ten days, but to no avail. β
"Is that so......" Lu Sheng touched the prickly beard on his chin, "It seems to be a bit excessive......
"Why did Lai Chuntao invite me to the banquet? I didn't bother to look for him, but he came to me first?"
"It is said that Lai Chuntao will celebrate his fortieth birthday tonight, so ...... My lord, are you going?"
"Go, how can you not go?"
"But...... What if this is a Hongmen banquet? My lord, Dongcheng Yaxing is mysterious, if this Gu Mother is really Dongcheng Yaxing's doing, then Dongcheng Yaxing has nothing to do with Lord Qian's death.
Dare to do something to the four members of the imperial court, their courage is not small, we must not guard against it......"
"But since they are invited, if I don't go, doesn't it mean that the official is afraid of them?"
"My lord, my subordinates believe that this is not the time for a battle of wills. β
"Lu Jian, if I don't go to the banquet, how can there be fish on the bait?"
"What do you mean...... This is Dongcheng Yaxing's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?"
"The Gu Mother has been given by us for two days, and they can endure it for two days without doing anything, and they are already very patient. However, I don't think they should know that I have found the Gu Mother and taken it out.
Therefore, I think the probability of the Hongmen banquet is not large, but the probability of transferring the tiger from the mountain is not small. You and Gai Ying are here to keep your brethren on guard and be ready to sacrifice at any time.
"We Have Only Forty Brothers......"
"Don't worry, there won't be a shortage of manpower. How's Wang's condition?"
"She's almost recovered, but the adults have taken care of her, so we didn't give her a chance to show up. Now in the backyard of the Criminal Division, I help the brothers sew and mend the sewing. β
"It's okay, keep the criminal department, especially the Gu mother. β
Lu Sheng freshened up and slept beautifully, and then got into the carriage at dusk and headed to Dongcheng Yaxing.
After walking on the road for about an hour, the carriage was swaying, and Lu Sheng was not in a hurry. And today, there is an endless stream of vehicles going to Dongcheng Yahang, and along the way, I have seen many luxurious carriages passing by Lu Sheng's carriage.
This time, it was a brother from Xuantian Mansion who drove Lu Sheng, and Lu Jian and Gai Ying had to guard the Criminal Division.
When they arrived outside the Dongcheng Dental Store, the huge square of the Dongcheng Dental Shop had been filled with dense carriages. Lu Sheng got out of the carriage and said that this time it was not in vain.
A birthday banquet almost made the dignitaries of Tongnan Mansion and even the entire Jiangbei Province come.
"This lord, your invitation ......" Before approaching the gate, Xiao Er bowed to Lu Sheng in a low voice and said, raising his head, Xiao Er's face suddenly changed.
"What a coincidence, it's you again!" Lu Sheng smiled.
"Lord Lu, why are you here? Today, I have my lord's birthday banquet, you are here at this time...... Not appropriate, right?"
If Lu Sheng came to smash the field, it would indeed be a bit inappropriate. However, Lu Sheng didn't have the same knowledge as Xiao Er today, so he took out the invitation and handed it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Erhu looked at him suspiciously, and his face immediately became smiling, "Lord Lu, please come inside-"
The hall of the birthday banquet is brilliantly lit, and in the hall of nearly 1,000 square meters, hundreds of tables are densely arranged, and such a large-scale banquet is a big scene in the later generations.
"General Director of the Criminal Department of Tongnan Prefecture, Lord Lu Sheng and Lu are here-"
A newspaper sounded, and the originally warm atmosphere of the hall suddenly became heavy. Many people who were talking and laughing suddenly stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the door of the hall in surprise.
Lu Sheng walked into the hall, and everyone's eyes were projected towards Lu Sheng. There are doubts, there are puzzles, there are fears, there are dodges.
If it is only because of the official position of the head of the Criminal Division, it is obviously not enough to cause such a big reaction. Especially after Lu Sheng saw the dodging eyes of the prefect Cheng in the crowd, the smile on Lu Sheng's face was still the same, but he understood it in his heart. I am afraid that the identity of my Wuzhou patrol envoy has been leaked.
