Chapter 109: The Heroes of the World
Looking at the shy appearance of the Lingzhu County Lord, Lu Sheng felt like a world away. The woman who picks up her pants neatly is really the one in front of her?
It can't be her twin sister, right?
"Huh, you're also in Shanghai? I remember you're the one from Suzhou...... The head of the Criminal Division, right?"
"I didn't think the county lord would remember to be in the next ......," Lu Sheng said with an embarrassed smile.
"That Yuzhu brother, then I'll look for you another day to catch up, by the way, where do you live now?"
"Tianshui Inn!" Lu Sheng hadn't spoken yet, when Duan Fei behind him suddenly spoke.
"Okay, don't rub it off, my mother is in a hurry......" Lord Lingzhu said as he dragged Shen Ling into the crowd.
In this picture, for some reason, Lu Sheng remembered the prey that was still dying and struggling before being slowly dragged into the cave.
"Sheep into the Tiger's Den...... How do you know the blessing and the curse!" A sigh sounded in his ears, Lu Sheng turned around, but saw that Duan Fei's expression was very strange.
"What's wrong with you, why do you look like you're dead?"
"In broad daylight, what kind of ......system is pulling and pulling," Duan Fei squirmed his lips for a long time and squeezed out a sentence.
"It's your business!" Lu Sheng said lightly, turned around and walked towards the dock.
At the Shanghai wharf, there are big ships docked every day, and big ships go to sea every day. This picture is quite accustomed to Lu Sheng's eyes, but it is shocking in the eyes of the people of this world.
Outside the Shanghai wharf, there are many literati who are full of food and have nothing to do, riding the wind and waves against the big boat, and chanting a few broken poems from time to time to attract a round of applause.
Lu Sheng sat outside the dock in Shanghai, watching the giant ox carts coming in and out. Each car needs at least four oxen to pull it. Although the ox is not as fast as the horse, it is better than the heavy gravity.
Each car is inspected by a team of city guards, which is cumbersome but also to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Judging from the attitude of the city defense army, after being inspected so carefully for so long, theoretically speaking, three million taels of official silver should not enter the Shanghai Mansion so easily.
Before the words were finished, a large convoy of people from the dock drove out of the checkpoint in such a majestic manner, and the large convoy drove in front of them, and the city defense army did not see it at all as if they were blind.
"It's really amazing!" Lu Sheng lowered his head and sighed.
"Bastard, how can you be so derelict in your duties!" Duan Fei shouted in a low voice, "Feng Jian, Jin Kai, you two go up and take a look, why did you directly let this team of carriages and horses go?"
"It's right for them to let them go, if they offend the Buddha and Bodhisattva, it's small to lose their jobs, and they can't save their lives. Suddenly, a voice rang out from the next seat.
Lu Sheng looked over, this is a middle-aged Confucian in his early forties. Gently holding the teacup in the air, his deep eyes seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of the red dust.
"This gentleman is polite!" Lu Sheng arched his hand to the opposite side, and the other party also politely returned the salute.
"This son has a brilliant demeanor, but there is a trace of domineering between his eyebrows and eyes, if I am not mistaken, the prince is a prince and noble?"
The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, and the masters played on TV were all staring like torches, and they were stunned to see through the identity of people. How did I get here, I couldn't help but want to complain as soon as I opened my mouth.
"Sir lifted up, born poor, is a grass people. ”
But Gongzi just reprimanded the city defense army for bending the law for personal gain, if it was just ordinary people, it would definitely not be like this. To say that the son is already in the official body, but he looks young. Childe, forgive me for being clumsy and can't see where you come from. ”
"Pingshui meets, hurried passers-by, my origin is serious, but the gentleman seems to have become accustomed to the scene in front of him. Since it was the imperial court that issued a ban, they were sometimes strict and unusually strict in their inspections, but they were deliberately negligent, why is this?"
"Didn't you notice that this caravan had a fènghuáng flag on its head? Who would dare to plant the fènghuáng flag today?"
After listening to the middle-aged man's reminder, Lu Sheng and Duan Fei looked at it again. Sure enough, each vehicle had a small flag on its head, about the size of a palm. It's so far away that you can't really see it clearly if you don't look closely.
"Fènghuáng and even Zun, except for the current queen, I am afraid that no one has this qualification. Could it be that this is the queen's caravan?"
"Naturally not!" Duan Fei shook his head indifferently, "It should be Princess Changling's caravan, right?"
"Yes, since it is Princess Changling's caravan, how dare they inspect it, and how dare they not let it go?"
The middle-aged man's tone was full of mockery of the scene in front of him.
"Although Princess Changling is the daughter of the first emperor, is it a bit too much to use the fènghuáng flag?
"Princess Changling has crossed a lot, why do you care about this?" the middle-aged man sighed softly, took out a silver ingot from his arms, put it on the table, and got up to leave.
"By the way, dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?" Lu Sheng suddenly stood up again and asked the middle-aged man.
"Boy, you've been playing dumb riddles with me for a long time, and now you're going to ask me for my name?"
"Jun already knows me, but I don't know Jun, isn't that okay?"
"Hahaha...... Lord Lu is really smart, no wonder Mei Qihua's old boy is full of praise for you. Me...... Tianquan Villa Huo Tian. ”
"What!" Duan Fei stood up with a swish, and looked at Huo Tian with eyes like a hundred-watt light bulb, "You are Huo Tian Huo Daxia?"
"The hero doesn't dare to be, it's just a deep trap in the rivers and lakes......"
And the two words have landed, but the person has disappeared without a trace. Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, such a powerful light skill was not under the jade-faced flying fox.
"Brother Duan, what kind of character is this Huo Tian?"
"Tianquan Villa Huo Tian, the legendary first master in Shanghai, known as Liuru Gentleman. Do you know what the six are? Jealousy is like hatred ......"
"Jealousy is like hatred, treating friends as oneself, swords like flying, drinking like life, seeing death as home, spending money like dirt!" Lu Sheng sat back silently, and said lightly with the corners of his eyebrows jumping slightly.
His face was as calm as water, and the grass in his heart was running wild like a tsunami. In Lu Sheng's heart, only the unique Xiao Li Tanhua in the sky and on the ground is qualified to be called a gentleman, what the hell is this Huo Tian?
"You...... How do you know? But there is one sentence that you said wrong, Huo Tian uses a sword, so it should be a fast sword like electricity. ”
"Anyway, this Huo Tian is your idol, a model of heroes, right?"
"Yes! If you want to ask Jiangnan Dao, who is the most famous hero, Huo Tian can definitely rank in the top three. Tianquan Villa is a holy place in the hearts of many young people who have just come out of the rivers and lakes. ”
"You're not a person from the rivers and lakes, you're excited!" Lu Sheng rolled his eyes disdainfully, "How is the strength of Tianquan Villa this time?"
"Didn't I just say that in the entire Shanghai Mansion Martial Arts, Tianquan Villa is the first. If it weren't for the Changlingwei in Shanghai, the reputation of Tianquan Villa would be even louder. ”
"Then you said that with the strength of Tianquan Villa...... Do they have the ability to rob the official silver and transport it into the Shanghai Mansion without a word?"
"Uh-" Duan Fei's voice was like a duck stuck in his throat. stared at Lu Sheng with ghost-like eyes, and looked straight at Lu Sheng.
"Brother Lu, you don't suspect that Huo Tian is behind the scenes, right?"
"What's wrong? Can't you?" Lu Sheng's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Yes, but Brother Lu, let's not bring this here, do you doubt that people can have some basis before." He is Huo Tian, he is a recognized hero, if you suspect that Huo Tian's matter spreads, believe it or not, there will be countless people in the rivers and lakes who want to take the head of your dog official tonight?"
"I believe it! But believe it or not, Huo Tian is waiting for us here today. Fang Cai's words were also deliberately told to me by him. ”
"Waiting for us on purpose? Why? How do you know?"
"Do you think that a world-famous hero will be idle and bored watching the scenery at this pier? Do you think Huo Tian will be like those fools while singing and riding the wind and waves while making girls happy?
He's waiting for us here, and he's been waiting for us in a hurry. So, after he finished speaking, he got up and left. ”
"That's really what you say...... But why is he waiting for you? And why is he talking to you?"
"It's very simple, it seems that I want to focus my attention on Princess Changling. Princess Changling's caravan can enter the Shanghai Mansion without being inspected, and if the three million taels of silver are hijacked by Princess Changling, then it can be said that it will be easy to transport them in.
However, if he is deliberately waiting for us and deliberately telling us about this situation, then do you think this Huo Tian is very suspicious?"
After listening to Lu Sheng's analysis, Duan Fei stared at Lu Sheng with frightened eyes, "Do you have no friends?" Because it's really dangerous to be your friend, even if you fart, you have to worry about whether you will suspect me of poisoning?"
"I remember just a few days ago, someone patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'm ready for you as a friend. ”
"Can I say it? Frankly, did you ever doubt me?"
As you said, suspecting a person needs a reason, but Huo Tian's self-righteous chance encounter gave me a reason to doubt him. And I'm even more curious now, how did he know that I was coming to Shanghai today?
"Alas-" Duan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes suddenly dimmed, "Seriously, I admire Huo Tian very much, I have almost listened to his deeds for so many years.
Today I met the big hero I used to worship, but I really hope he didn't show up today, we didn't see him...... As you said, he's lifting a rock to hit himself in the foot......"
Duan Fei poured Lu Sheng a cup of tea and also poured himself a cup.
"We came to Shanghai Wharf today because we discussed it last night. I don't believe anyone can eavesdrop on our conversation without us finding out, unless the person is born.
So Huo Tian can know that we are coming today, either there is a problem with the place where we spoke yesterday, or our whereabouts have been watched. In either case, it's scary. ”
"So, the person we are going to deal with this time is more powerful than we imagined, and it is definitely not comparable to the chirping of the jade-faced flying fox. Go back, there's no point in going back. ”
"So what do we do next?"
"Circle the suspects and investigate them one by one. At present, the suspected Princess Changling, Ning Guohou, and that Huo Tian, now they have to add all the top forces in the Shanghai Mansion. "I want to talk about "Heavenly Punishment Order" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
