Chapter 243: Forced to pick up the knife

Mrs. Wu stood up with a swish, her frightened eyes widened, and she slowly lowered her head and looked at the powder in front of her...... The pupils showed horror, and his face gradually became excited and frightened.

"Your Excellency, do you mean...... You mean...... This thing is the poison that killed the master...... This is what killed the master......" After Mrs. Wu finished saying this, the strength in her body seemed to be drained away, and her whole body went limp.

"Mrs. Wu, don't get too excited, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows. You might as well take us to find that goddess. ”

"Yes, it's her...... She was the one who killed the master...... It's her...... Why did she hurt me...... Why do you want to hurt the old man......"

Even though Mrs. Wu was excited, she quickly forced herself to calm down. When someone else makes a scapegoat, all the guilt instantly turns into bitter hatred. It's all her, it's all she who killed the master...... It's okay with me, it's okay......

Furious, Mrs. Wu led a group of Xuan Tianwei to the vegetable market, and Mrs. Wu immediately locked the small storefront shop on the edge of the vegetable market that was spliced together with a few wooden boards.

"Lord Lu, it's her, it's the goddess......"

Lu Sheng looked from a distance, the old god was sitting in the shop, and the shop was full of colorful runes, squinting his eyes, and reciting scriptures that he might not even know himself.

The goddess's legs were no longer from the knee down, so she could only sit on a bench. The bench is both a resting and a means of transportation for him.

The whole face is drawn with a knife like a QR code. If it weren't for Mrs. Wu telling him that he was a goddess, Lu Sheng would definitely think that this should be Meng Po.

Lu Sheng looked at the goddess from afar, her movements were very slow, because she had no legs, and it was a habit she developed to not move if she could not move.

Sunlight peeks through the clouds and shines brightly from the sky.

Lu Sheng waved his hand lightly, and five Xuantian guards approached the storefront of the goddess from all directions.

The goddess didn't seem to know anything, and she was still carefully wiping the Shinto objects in front of her. Just as Xuan Tianwei was about to arrest him, the goddess suddenly raised her head, and her eyes looked at Lu Sheng from a distance.

Her gaze was not vicious, like two pearls set in a strange stone. Seeing these eyes that seemed to have seen through the red dust, Lu Sheng inexplicably remembered his grandmother in his previous life.

"This offspring...... Come here!"

The priest's voice was hoarse, but not harsh.

Lu Sheng slowly stepped forward and came to the front of the goddess, "Old man, you called me?"

"Hou Sheng, I see that your face is not ordinary! you have already gained fame, right?" Maybe it was a professional habit, the goddess shook her head, and the old god asked.

"Old man, can you see this?" Lu Sheng smiled, revealing a simple smile that was not deeply involved in the world.

"Ordinary people can't see it, but I can see it, my mother-in-law. There's an official on top of your head...... You are the one who wants to be an official, or rather, you are an official now. Many people say that I am very accurate in fortune-telling, but in fact, how can there be any fortune-telling, my mother-in-law is just very accurate in reading people.

In the next life, you have official spirit and righteousness. The eyebrows are square, the eyes are bright, smart and beautiful. You are full of hope for the future, do you think that you can show your ambitions, you can cultivate yourself and govern the country and the world?"

"Mother-in-law, let me ask the scholars and students in the world, which one doesn't have the intention of showing his ambitions and ruling the world?" Lu Sheng smiled and shook his head.

That's because they haven't encountered setbacks, and it's their own efforts to study and gain fame. But after entering the officialdom, you need to throw the words of the saints you have learned and the righteousness of your family and country into the dung pit.

Therefore, the common people like to read books, but no one likes to be officials. Why? Because the heart of a scholar is white, but the heart of an official is black. After becoming an official, your superiors will teach you how to make money and how to oppress the people.

The so-called ambition is to have a clear conscience. For the sake of political achievements, you can label a good family as a disaster to the country and the people, and then raid the family and exterminate the people......"

Listening to this, Lu Sheng's face gradually became gloomy, and his eyes were sharp as he looked at the goddess who was talking to herself.

"My Shangguan hasn't taught me these things yet, but your mother-in-law taught me these things first. Could it be that mother-in-law, you want me to be such an official?"

"Mother-in-law didn't expect you to become such an official...... The reason why I am telling you this is not because there is still a trace of righteousness between your eyebrows. A reminder to you, when you are faced with this choice, think about your mother-in-law's words. Whether to be an official with a clear conscience or to be a man with a conscience. ”

"It seems that the mother-in-law already knows the identity of the official, and she should know why the official came?"

"Hehehe......" The goddess suddenly laughed, raised her head to look at Lu Sheng's eyes and showed a sarcastic smile, opened her mouth, and suddenly black blood flowed out, but her smile seemed to be relieved, which made Lu Sheng's heart be violently impacted.

"Mother-in-law is a ghost from hell...... No matter how well you hide it, you will still find it and send it down...... I knew there would come a day...... I knew from the moment that woman appeared, you found me......"

"That woman?" Lu Sheng frowned, although he asked Mrs. Wu to lead the way to find the goddess, but in order to avoid startling the snake, Lu Sheng did not let Mrs. Wu appear.

"People who have used my medicine can't hide my nose! You are the new head of the Criminal Investigation Division in Tongnan Mansion, right? I heard that you are a good official? My mother-in-law really wants you to ...... Can always be a good official ......."

"Hum-" Suddenly, the punishment order in his mind trembled, and in an instant, Lu Sheng's face turned pale.

It's not a reward, it's a sign of punishment!

"Mother-in-law doesn't blame you, you have to investigate the case, you have to solve the case...... I designed the person to be killed, and there is nothing wrong with finding me...... It's wrong...... You gave birth too late......"

The punishment order in his mind suddenly fell silent when the goddess said this. The punishment that was supposed to be brought down also disappeared at this moment.

Lu Sheng's face was still pale, and he didn't feel glad that the punishment order had given up his punishment. The last words of the goddess may be sincere, but at the same time, they also express her despair of the world. This desperate world forces a person to pick up a butcher's knife and seek justice for himself in a way that cannot be recognized.

"My lord—" Xuan Tianwei gathered over, and the movement here also caused the surrounding people to gradually move closer here.

"She hid poison in her mouth beforehand!" Lu Sheng's voice was low, and the expression on his face was so solemn that Xuan Tianwei didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"Look and see if there are any other clues. ”

Even if the goddess is not a wicked person, it does not mean that the person behind her is a good person. She's just a murderous knife, and the knife may be right, but the hand holding the knife isn't.

The person who can kill Lai Chuntao at this critical moment, Lu Sheng can't believe that he is a good person no matter what.

There are a lot of unbelievable things in the goddess's house, and she will arrange them anyway no matter how weird and weird they are. Xuan Tianwei rummaged through the cabinets and looked for a long time, and there was really no secret in the place where the fart was big.

"My lord, I've looked for it, but I haven't found it. ”

Lu Sheng frowned, his eyes still scanning every corner of the shop back and forth. Lu Sheng has always felt that there must be something contrary to common sense in this shop, otherwise, he would not have such a strong sense of abruptness.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he finally found a place that made him feel discordant among the calcium carbide fireworks. In the façade of the goddess, a layer of bricks was laid.

In this day and age, brick was a luxury. Being able to live in a house with brick walls is also a well-off level in this era. Many people's houses are made of pure mud, and when a rainstorm comes, they will worry about whether the walls can hold up.

The façade of the goddess is made of wooden planks, but a layer of bricks is laid on the ground, as if a car of 100,000 yuan gave him an interior of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

Dig up all the floor tiles and see if there's anything underneath.

Xuan Tianwei didn't say a word, and quickly dug up the bricks on the ground. After a while, a wooden plank appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"My lord, there's a secret passage here!"

Lifting the wooden plank, there was a square black tunnel below, Lu Sheng held a torch and entered step by step along the ladder. Underneath the dark passage is a basement of less than three or four square meters.

Lu Sheng lit the brazier in the basement, and the entire basement immediately became bright.

Some bottles and cans are densely packed on a shelf. Lu Sheng swept the shelves, still clear in his heart. These medicines are all raw materials for the preparation of aphrodisiac powder and another poison.

After Lu Sheng got the two poisons, he could already roughly judge the ingredients. If Lu Sheng is given a few days, it will not be difficult to reproduce these two medicines.

On the opposite side of the basement, there are densely placed tablets. In front of the tablet, the ash in the incense burner has not completely cooled.

Perhaps because of the limited space, these tablets are much smaller than normal. Lu Sheng roughly swept over, and there were probably nearly a hundred spiritual seats being enshrined.

But after seeing the name on the spiritual seat, Lu Sheng's face suddenly changed. The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, "Lu Jian, bring back all the things in the basement!"

The Criminal Division cordoned off the scene, but the surrounding onlookers did not disperse. They don't understand why all of a sudden the people in the government would close down the shop of the goddess, and why did the goddess ...... when she has been in the vegetable market for more than 10 years?

No one knows where the goddess came from, and no one knows the past. The people in the vegetable market only know that this goddess only came here more than ten years ago.

When she came, she was very impressive. Back then, she held a small bench and moved it from outside the city little by little, and it took a whole day to come here.

Because she has no legs, she may have to walk for an hour when others can walk during tea time.

The goddess is very poor and miserable. However, she has a lot of backbone.

She never accepts other people's alms, she said to everyone who gave her alms, she didn't ask for food, she was a fortune teller! I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Heavenly Punishment Order", WeChat pay attention to "excellent reading literature", talk about life, find confidants~
