Chapter 43: Lu Jian's Secret
"My lord......" Lu Jian raised his head, his eyes flushed.
Looking at Lu Jian's sad and angry eyes, after a long time, Lu Sheng's eyes gradually softened.
"Say it!"
Yesterday, after Lu Sheng came back from the mansion, the spider god mysteriously came to Lu Sheng's room. Speaking of a recent major event in Suzhou martial arts, there is a martial arts sect in Baixiang County called Jingyangmen.
Recently, Jingyangmen issued a chase order to hunt down and kill Lu Qin, the traitor scum in their gate. Lu Qin was originally a disciple of Jingyangmen, and he was deeply respected by Jingyangmen.
But a month ago. Lu Qin actually raped and killed his fellow junior sister and escaped. Jingyangmen immediately issued a reward for chasing and killing him, not seeking to arrest him, but only to bring back his head.
Spiders have been bounty hunters for so many years, so they naturally have some intelligence channels. got a chase and kill order from Jingyangmen, and identified it as Lu Jian through the portrait.
After getting along with Lu Jian for so long, the relationship between the few people is quite harmonious. So the spider didn't immediately question Lu Jian, but quietly found Lu Sheng.
The grievances and vendettas of the Jianghu martial arts, as long as it does not endanger the people in his jurisdiction, Lu Sheng is too lazy to care, but if it is related to his subordinates, he has to take care of it.
In case it is rumored that the Punishment Division is hiding dirt and shielding the most vicious people, the reputation that the Punishment Division has accumulated with great difficulty will be over. Lu Sheng didn't believe that Lu Jian's person would do such a thing, and he was also thinking about finding an opportunity to ask Lu Jian, but now Lu Jian took the initiative to admit that he also praised Lu Sheng's intentions.
"My lord, I was wronged...... Lu Jian silently lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists. The whole body trembled violently, accompanied by a hoarse voice.
"My lord, my subordinate was born in Baixiang County, a disciple of Jingyangmen. There are not many disciples in the door, and the younger brothers and sisters surround the knees of the master, calm and peaceful.
The master was extremely strict with his disciples, and if he failed in martial arts, he did not allow his disciples to go down the mountain.
After fifteen years of hard training, his subordinates reached the sevenfold realm of the day after tomorrow a month ago, and was finally recognized by the master as a teacher to walk the rivers and lakes. Before leaving, the disciple said goodbye to the seventh senior sister.
The seventh senior sister is the treasure of Jingyangmen, and the only woman who is deeply loved by everyone, she has long wanted to go out to see the outside world. was rubbed hard by her, and her subordinates agreed to take her down the mountain secretly.
That night, when it came to the appointed time, I didn't see the seventh senior sister coming. I went to the seventh junior sister's room to have a look, and when I opened the door, I found the seventh junior sister lying naked on the bed, staring at death.
At that moment, my mind went blank. And at this moment, the fourth junior brother suddenly arrived and saw the scene in front of him. screamed and summoned the master and other brothers.
I didn't do it, I didn't do anything...... However, the master and the disciples did not believe me. I had to run away, and they kept chasing. Finally, I jumped into the cold pool and left Jingyangmen.
This cold poison was obtained by jumping into the cold pool. My lord, please help me.
After joining the Criminal Division for so many days, as long as I close my eyes, my sister will not look blind. I don't know who it is, but it's really not me......"
As he spoke, Lu Jian kept kowtowing to the floor, and every time he hit, it was like beating a drum. Lu Jian's forehead gradually turned red, and drops of blood continued to drip along his forehead.
"You really didn't do it?"
"If I did it, I would be willing to endure a thousand cuts, and after death, I would never be reborn in the eighteen layers of hell. ”
"Are there any other people around Jingyangmen, do you live on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain?" Lu Sheng gently picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
"Jingyangmen is located in Tianjing Mountain, with a total of five peaks, and Shimen is located on the top of the second peak. The roads are rough and rarely frequented. ”
"How many people are in your division?"
"In addition to the master, there are a total of fifteen disciples, and the junior sister is ranked seventh. ”
"In other words, if you didn't do it that day, it must have been done by a Jingyangmen disciple......? It didn't cause alarm...... Your master is also suspicious. ”
"Master?" Lu Jian raised his head suddenly, and there was a look of horror in his eyes. But in an instant, he quickly shook his head, "No, it's impossible...... The master is practicing Wuji Tongzi Gong, and he can't break his body. ”
"Tong Zigong, but you don't seem to be cultivating?" Lu Sheng frowned, and intuitively felt a hint of weirdness.
"Yes, I practice the Flame Heart Method. Wuji Tongzi Gong needs to be cultivated from an early age, and he is not allowed to marry a wife and have children for life, otherwise his lifelong cultivation will be ruined.
The master had already told us that he would not pass on the Wuji Tongzi Gong to us, and he said that he hoped that we could open up the branches and leaves for Jingyangmen, and he didn't want us to be singles one by one. ”
"Then there is no one in your sect to inherit your master's mantle?"
"It's not!" Lu Jian thought for a while and said, "The little junior brother has inherited the master's Wuji Boy Skill. ”
"Why? Doesn't your little brother need to marry and have children?"
"Because the little junior brother is mentally incomplete. Lu Jian sighed softly, "The little junior brother accidentally rolled down the hillside when he was six years old, and although he was lucky enough to pick up a life, he was hit hard in the head.
Not only are memories lost, but also minds. Eight years have passed, and the little brother is still like a six-year-old child. Seeing that he had no hope of recovery, the master taught Wuji Tongzigong to the younger junior brother.
The little junior brother is worthy of being the most talented among the disciples. Because there are no distracting thoughts, he can see through the gains and losses of utilitarianism, and cultivating martial arts is the highest among many disciples. When I left Jingyangmen, he was already at the peak of cultivation. Martial arts are not under the master. ”
"So, your master and junior brother are the first to rule out suspicion?"
"The master is highly respected and jealous, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing. Moreover, the master has always regarded the seventh senior sister as his own, which ...... It's even more impossible to do anything unethical. And the little junior brother is only fourteen years old this year, not to mention that he is mentally incomplete, even if he is mentally complete, he does not understand the affairs of men and women. So, they are impossible. ”
"Do you have a suspicious target?"
Lu Jian thought about it carefully, recalled everyone, and all that could remain in Lu Jian's mind were the innocent smiles and good memories of the junior and disciples.
Lu Jian shook his head, "No, although the adults think that it was done by other junior disciples, but ...... After all, the disciples did not believe it. I know in my heart that every junior and junior is a person, and no one is a person who can do such things......"
"If it weren't for your junior brother, then it would only be you!" Lu Sheng stood up lightly and came to the window with his hands behind his back, "Although Baixiang County is within my jurisdiction, Jingyangmen is a Jianghu martial arts sect after all.
I intervene rashly, and if I don't get it right, it will cause disgust from Suzhou martial arts. Therefore, I can only check for you in the form of taking on the case.
I don't know your identity, but now that I know your identity, I can't just let you go. Since you have a murder case on your body, the official must first take you to prison, so that the case can be investigated for you, and the official can be justified. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand, it's all up to the adults. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the government. ”
In the courtyard outside the door, the three of Lu Li were practicing their swords, and when they saw Lu Sheng taking Lu Jian to go out, Lu Li hurriedly put away his sword.
"Brother, where are you going?
"No, you stay here and continue practicing!"
Lu Li had never seen Lu Sheng's gloomy face, and he was stunned for a while. He pouted, but didn't say a word of rebuttal.
In the past, Lu Sheng had never spoken in such a stern tone to Lu Li, and even if he wanted to discipline Lu Li, most of them would take it in the back?
When Lu Sheng's figures disappeared outside the door, Lu Li came back to his senses, stuck the sword in his hand on the ground, retreated to the edge of the flower bed and hugged his knees and became sad.
The spider's eyes flashed, and it was no surprise that Lu Sheng and Lu Jian should have a showdown. Came to the civet and squatted down and gently touched the civet's head.
"Ahri, your lord is in a bad mood, don't worry about it. And adults have official business to do, and you shouldn't follow you all day long. You have to give the adults some time for him, right?"
"But, he's fierce to me......" Lu Li pouted aggrievedly.
"No, the adults just let you stay at home and practice. The spider laughingly comforted.
"That's it, he's the murderer of me. Hmph, he didn't dare to be so fierce to me before...... Ever since he got his fame, since he learned martial arts, and since he became more powerful than me, he has become more and more afraid of me......"
The spider's face was full of embarrassment, and he laughed dryly a few times, and he really didn't know how to answer. Lu Li said so many reasons, but the spider couldn't find a reason why Lu Sheng should be afraid of Lu Li.
When I arrived at the prefect's yamen, it was rare that the prefect Qian was not busy with official business. After receiving the notice of Lu Sheng's arrival, Qian Zhifu's face suddenly became gloomy, and even his favorite burritos instantly lost his appetite.
"Lu Sheng, why did you come to the official again today?
Plop - Lu Jian obediently knelt down in front of Qian Tang, causing Qian Tang to swallow back the words he was about to spit out.
"What does that mean?"
"My lord, here's the thing!" Lu Sheng told Lu Jian about the case he was carrying. After listening to this, Qian Zhifu's gloomy face turned out to be good-looking.
He rubbed his chin and sparkled with a fox-like glint in his eyes.
"In the matter of Jianghu martial arts, it is not good for our government to directly intervene. Although it is said that the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister. But the people in the rivers and lakes advocate romantic freedom, and once the government intervenes, it is easy to offend their taboos.
If it can be handled properly, it will be fine, but if it is not handled properly and causes trouble, the court will definitely blame it. The official ...... I don't want to take that risk. ”
"My lord, is it just because Jingyangmen is a Jianghu sect that this matter is allowed to pass in such a vague way? If the people of Suzhou die at the hands of the Jianghu people, we don't care?"
"What are you doing so excited? Does the official say that it doesn't matter? The official just wants to remind you that intervening in the Jianghu martial arts dispute is an extraordinary case, and you need to pay attention to the tricks. ”
"Please make it clear!"
"Lu Sheng, I heard that you made a fortune yesterday?" Qian Zhifu turned his head coldly and stared at Lu Sheng with green eyes.
