Volume 3: Zhongzhou Fengyun Chapter 104: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The Red Pupil Mountain King floated directly to the envoy and stuffed five silver tickets of 100,000 taels to him.
"I can't take this job from you!"
"This ghost, Lao Tzu can't beat him, these little ghosts will die if they die, and your 500,000 Lao Tzu will be returned to you!"
"You can do it yourself, Lao Tzu can't control it anyway!"
Unexpectedly, this Red Pupil Mountain King is simply dealing with these ghost kings.
The fist is not big enough, you just take the money and smash them.
These group of ghost kings are all arrogant masters, and it is more appropriate to use money to buy them than to fight with them.
Especially when you encounter a thing like Lu Cheng, which is not bad for money, why bother with money to solve it.
Lu Cheng patted his head and felt that he was really a loser.
Five million taels of silver just went out?
Coupled with the promise to the Yin family just now, this sold another favor.
Others fight hard, but this Lu Zhenren fights with financial resources!
The Red Pupil Mountain King ran away directly, and the dead and wounded of the little ghosts were directly thrown here by him.
The worst thing is this messenger, I thought that the rescuers who moved in the fourth order of the gods would be able to clean up Lu Cheng, who knew that this rescuer was so unreliable.
Lin Ruo ran for a long time before he ran to the messenger and kicked the messenger to the ground.
After clamping down on the messenger, he slammed his head to the ground.
The silver ticket in the messenger's hand was not yet hot, and as soon as it touched the ground, it was hurriedly put away by the ghost mantle.
Looking at this ghost uncle who wanted money, Lu Cheng looked disdainful.
"Look, I'm no match for you guys who aren't bad for money. ”
"Four million silver in exchange for your little life, you can make a lot of money, and you still look at me with this kind of eyes. ”
Uncle Ghost said angrily, so that Lu Cheng couldn't refute him at all.
In fact, even if he didn't call the ghost mantle, Lu Cheng would be able to break the axe of the Red Pupil Mountain King, but it might affect Lin Ruo and Yang Ming.
The instantaneous decision made Lao Lu directly call the ghost cockroach over, which was the least risky solution after all.
Looking at the messenger who was pressed to the ground by Lin Ruo, Lu Cheng couldn't help but smile.
With a big mask and a look of fear of being recognized by others, this guy is definitely not a good stubble.
Lu Cheng directly took off the messenger's mask, this time it was not a faceless eunuch beyond recognition.
It's just that this person Lu Cheng really doesn't know.
"Lin Ruo, do you know this person?"
Lu Cheng asked, Lin Ruo looked at the person's face and shook his head.
"If you don't know it, just ask if it's over?"
Yang Ming was very direct, stabbed the messenger's head with a stick, and asked.
"You, what's your surname, what's your name, where are you calling, say!"
The messenger kept silent and gritted his teeth.
Lu Cheng slapped it directly with one palm, and directly slapped the messenger unconscious.
"Lao Lu, what are you doing here? This will kill him?"
Yang Ming's question made Uncle Ghost Can't stand it.
"Lu Cheng, this fool won't be your apprentice, such a foolish apprentice, what kind of eyesight do you have!"
"I'll go! You actually say I'm stupid! I'm ......."
Yang Ming originally wanted to directly scold two sentences, but when he thought of the scene where the ghost mantis resisted the earth-shattering axe just now, he was suddenly stunned.
"What are you, you're a critic, I said what's wrong with you?"
"Lu Cheng, did I say what he said right? Ang, didn't I say he deserved?"
"Uncle Ghost Mantle, if you take the money, just shut up and leave, I have a lot of things to do here. ”
Lu Cheng waved his hand at the ghost cockroach helplessly, and the ghost cocktail scolded:
"He's really a scumbag, changing his face faster than turning a book, just now I should have asked that reckless man to give you an axe!"
"That's it, Lao Tzu is gone, hey, don't call Lao Tzu these months, Lao Tzu has to enjoy it!"
After that, Uncle Ghost Cantis slipped away without looking back, and Lao Lu released a true qi to envelop the messenger.
After carefully examining his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin Ruo did the right thing, in order to prevent him from committing suicide, it is very important to control his limbs. ”
"Actually, it's more convenient to give him a slap directly to make him unconscious. ”
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he lifted the person up and directly let Yang Ming carry it.
"Damn, I'm just a coolie, am I?"
"You can't do anything else. ”
Lin Ruo's complaint can be said to be very appropriate and in place.
So that Yang Ming couldn't refute it at all.
Mo Lin and the seven faceless eunuchs had arrived at the entrance of the stone road bridge, and as soon as the three of Lu Cheng came, everyone went directly into the stone road bridge and prepared to go back.
This trip to the ghost world was thrilling, except for Yang Ming, who had been eating deflated, Mo Lin and Lin Ruo had both seen the world.
Lao Lu is the worst one, not only bought half a day's strength, but also lost a lot of money.
Fortunately, the rioters in Yunjing were all caught by them, and this time it can be said that they were uprooted.
The harvest is full and everyone is looking forward to it.
When Lao Lu opened the boundary gate, Master Bao and Tang Ke had been waiting on the other side for a long time.
Although Lu Cheng and the others had stayed in the ghost realm for less than two hours, it was already late at night at this time.
Looking at the seven faceless eunuchs and a fainting messenger brought back by Lu Cheng, Lord Bao's face bloomed with a smile.
"This operation, Lu Cheng remembered the first credit!"
"Such a good thing, I didn't actually participate, Lord Bao, it's all your fault, you have to let me see the old woman, it's over, it's my business. ”
The wise and martial Tang Er complained, so his ass was kicked heavily by Lord Bao.
This messenger seems to be the head of a small down-and-out family, whose family was ruined and his wife was separated, and he was bewitched to join the sect.
After a lot of work, seven faceless eunuchs and one messenger were all imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and early tomorrow morning, they were directly interrogated by Lu Cheng and Lord Bao.
Of course, Yuan Peizhi, who was kicked and fainted, was also carried into the prison of the Criminal Department, but now there is nothing to do with him.
After catching the messenger, there is no need to take a small role like Yuan Peizhi to heart.
After all, the one who really colluded with the sect of the Yuan family should be Yuan Peizhi's father, Yuan Enzheng.
There is no news of Yuan Enzheng yet, so we can only start with the messenger first.
Interestingly, when Lu Cheng came back from the ghost world, the scholars at the gate of the Yuan family's mansion actually dispersed.
I don't know if it was the talkative person who said that Gonggong Yuan, who was beside the eldest prince, colluded with the rebel party and attempted to rebel, this group of scholars actually ran directly to the door of Tingxuan Pavilion.
At that time, the eldest prince and Gonggong Yuan were taken aback when they accompanied Old Man Hong and Lord Chu out of Tingxuan Pavilion.
I don't know when there were so many scholars outside this Tingxuan Pavilion, and they collectively wanted to ask the eldest prince for an explanation.
Why did the eldest prince want to keep a eunuch who colluded with the rebel party? All kinds of doubts directly annoyed the eldest prince.
So, the eldest prince directly threw down Gonggong Yuan and asked him to explain to this group of scholars, and the eldest prince waved his sleeves and went back to the mansion directly in the carriage.
Old Man Hong and Master Chu looked at the farce of this group of scholars, and laughed helplessly.
Gonggong Yuan has the ability to concentrate at the peak, but in the face of this group of saliva scholars, he can't do it at all.
Under the condemnation of many scholars, Gonggong Yuan was anxiously kneeling down and kowtowing.
It wasn't until the guards guarding the city came to curfew the Qing people that this group of scholars dispersed one after another.
"Father-in-law Yuan, are you okay? ”
The grizzled little eunuch hurriedly helped Gonggong Yuan up, Gonggong Yuan was out of luck today.
"Go, go back, I have to digest and digest ......"
This father-in-law was about to knock himself stupid today, got into the carriage tremblingly, and hurried back to the eunuch residence in the outer palace.
At this time, in the prison of the Criminal Department, facing the cell where the seven assassins and messengers were held, Lu Cheng, Tang Ke and Master Bao were sitting in a row, and they were idle.
Fang Cai Yuan Shangshu, Chu Shangshu and Inspector General Wang all came over to take a look, and looking at the few people who were arrested, they all had their own opinions.
"Lu Cheng, do you think the strength of this Yunjing's sect has been eradicated?"
Master Bao asked, Lu Cheng thought for a while and shook his head.
"These people are just minions, just pawns to clear the obstacles for the people above. ”
Lu Cheng's words made Master Bao think a little, and Tang Ke waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"A real fox will show its tail sooner or later, and now cleaning up these little minions is already a phased victory. ”
Tang Ke's words are right, this is already a phased victory.
At least, after these people are uprooted, Lu Cheng and Tang Ke can go to the East China Sea with peace of mind.
I have to say, this is actually a good thing.
"Master Bao, what do you say in one sentence?"
Lu Cheng suddenly remembered a sentence that he didn't know who said it a long time ago.
"The small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city. ”
While this is a phrase used to describe secular hermits, it is not inappropriate to describe sectarian minions. ”
In their own eyes, they are hermits beyond the world, powerful people who want to subvert the world. ”
"Sect, what exactly do they want to do, at first I thought they were just trying to usurp power, but now that I think about it, it's not that simple. ”
"The Rebellion of the Five Kings, the Nine Demons, and the Four Great Masters, the Seven Colored Walkers, what they did was completely unreasonable. ”
Lu Cheng's words made Tang Ke and Master Bao fall into thought.
What exactly is the denomination after?
If they wanted to fight for power and seek to usurp the throne, the Rebellion of the Five Kings caused so many casualties, which was a heavy blow to any country.
After these sects entered the Yongzhou Mansion, they did what bandits and bandits did, burning, killing and looting.
This is not like what an organization that wants to subvert the imperial court should do.
They seem to be simply enjoying destruction and killing.
Why, then, do so many powerful people follow their creed?
Lu Cheng was puzzled, and, for the time being, he couldn't find the answer.
It's just that he didn't ask Qing Lao clearly, but now if he wants to get in touch with the top level of the seven-colored walker-level sect, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The sky is getting brighter.
After the interrogation of Lu Cheng and Lord Bao, Jiang Huaer's death, and the assassination of the second prince, these things were all handled by these people.
The fanatic Barro obtained a formation for them, and they carried out the assassination.
Their master, according to the messenger, is Yuan Enzheng, who has been missing for more than ten years.
They had not met Won Eun-jeong in person, and each time they contacted him by letter.
Yuan Enzheng gave them the door to open the ghost world, and asked the messenger to find Yuan Peizhi and encourage Yuan Peizhi to cooperate with them.
And everything Yuan Eunzheng did was to hide something.
Lu Cheng judged that there were other people above Yuan Enzheng, and what he hoped for was the person above him, and he would never know the news of the birth of King Qi's inheritance.
To this end, Yuan Enzheng sent an envoy to contact Yuan Gonggong and Yuan Peizhi, and asked the envoy to give an order in the name of "that lord".
The envoy himself was confused about who it was.
Yuan Enzheng is an important intermediate link, if you want to find King Qi's family, not only do you have to investigate Luxian Palace, but Yuan Enzheng is also an extremely important clue.
If you find Yuan Eun-jeong, you can know who his upline is.
If you find the King of Qi, you can get some important clues to the rebellion of the Five Kings.
At the beginning, the Zong family only abolished the King of Qi, but did not kill the King of Qi, waiting for the King of Qi at the weakest time!
The two-pronged approach, Yuan Enzheng, and King Qi have to check!
At noon on that day, the messenger and the seven faceless eunuchs were executed to make an example of the monkeys.
Yuan Pei's battle sentence was eighty, for the sake of Yuan Enhong's face, he was spared a dog's life, but he was not allowed to leave the Yuan family's mansion for life.
Although Gonggong Yuan was not confused, he was unfaithful to slavery after all.
was directly abolished by the crown prince from the title of chief administrator and demoted to an ordinary eunuch who was reckless.
Yunjing is set, and Lu Cheng and Tang Ke are also about to go to the East China Sea.
