Chapter 2 The General Banner of Lu in the middle of the family road
In the dim and lonely night, there was a sudden knock on the door, which was definitely an extremely exciting thing for Lu Fan, who had just crossed over.
The instinct of practicing the inner family boxing method for many years made his muscles tense instantly, without opening his mouth or asking, Lu Fan hid the book of impermanence in his arms, and then picked up the embroidered spring knife hanging in front of the table.
After putting one hand on the handle and being ready to draw the knife at any time, Lu Fan's eyes drooped slightly, staring at the door.
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door sounded again, this time a little more hurried than before, and a rough man's voice came from outside the door.
"Mr. Lu, I'm Yin Cheng, the Lord of the Hundred Households has gathered manpower, and there is an urgent task!"
Lu Fan was silent, the palm holding the knife did not relax at all, and after a slight pause, he asked in a low voice, "What task?"
"There was a murder case in Ming Shifang, and the number of dead people is not small!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan's eyes flashed slightly, pondered for a moment, and then responded.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as the words fell, he quickly folded the blood-stained bed on the bed, and then put on the dark blue brocade guard uniform, put on the crown of his head, and wore the embroidered spring knife around his waist.
After dressing up, he looked at the bronze mirror, and seeing nothing wrong, he cautiously walked to the door and opened the door.
Outside the door was a rugged man, about thirty years old, also dressed in brocade clothes, with a small flag token hanging around his waist, and at the moment he saw Lu Fan open the door, he arched his hand, which was regarded as a salute.
It can be seen that this person is not very respectful to Lu Fan, the general banner, and after arching his hand, he walked forward.
Walking out of the door, Lu Fan's eyes quickly looked around.
This is a two-hall courtyard house, and the brick structure of the gatehouse shadow wall represents the glory of the past, but now the house is tilted, and the mud wall is falling off, showing the decay of the portal.
The room where Lu Fan lives belongs to the main house, and there are side rooms on both sides, and there are water tanks and some toiletries at the door, which seems to be also inhabited.
As his mind turned, Lu Fan roughly guessed that this courtyard should be the ancestral home of the Lu family.
Jinyiwei belongs to the hereditary system, Lu Fan's age at the moment is just over the crown, but he is in the position of the general flag, if there is no accident, it should be the shadow of his father and make up for the lack of his father.
However, perhaps because of the middle of the family, in order to make a living, the houses on both sides should be rented out, and the man in front of him named Yin Cheng should be the tenant who lives in a room in this courtyard.
It's no wonder that Yin Cheng Xiaoqi doesn't take his own general flag very seriously, a young boy who has obtained the position of general flag by relying on his father's shadow, and is not good at running the family business, even if the position is higher, it is difficult for people to be in awe.
As a Jinyi guard, Yin Cheng's skills are very good, and it can be seen that this person definitely has some foundation in martial arts, and he walks very fast all the way, but his breath has always been very stable.
The brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty basically came from two selection methods.
One is hereditary or shade-based, but this hereditary system has also led to the uneven personal quality of the Jinyi Guard Captain or Tiqi, and it is okay to scare and scare people at ordinary times, but when you really need to use people, it is not of much use at all.
Another selection method is to select from the people, mostly heroes with martial arts or good families with skills, this part of the people, it can be said that all of them are elite, and it is also where the confidence of Jinyiwei to deter major forces lies.
Obviously, Yin Cheng, who does not have his own house in the capital and can only rent it, should be the kind of person who was selected from the people to enter Jinyiwei.
Yin Cheng hurried quickly, but I have to say that Lu Fan's body is now full of youthful vitality, and his physical fitness is really very good, no matter what Yin Cheng's speed is, he can easily keep up, and he doesn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
Along the way, Lu Fan's gaze looked at Yin Cheng's back of his heart, intentionally or unintentionally.
This person is the first person he met after crossing over, and he is also a fellow Jinyiwei who lives in the same courtyard, he is not only an acquaintance, but also has the ability to kill, the death of the predecessor Lu Fan, this person is very suspicious.
However, generally speaking, seeing the person you killed with your own hands suddenly and alive standing in front of you, even if you have a good psychological quality, it is difficult to be calm and calm without revealing the slightest emotional fluctuation.
According to Lu Fan's observation along the way, although Yin Cheng is not very respectful to him, the general banner, but it only stops there, and no other expressions are revealed, and it is not very likely that the murderer is him.
But if the person who killed "Lu Fan" is really him, then this person is really too terrible, not to mention anything else, in terms of psychological quality alone, Lu Fan thinks that he is willing to bow down.
Ming Shifang was not close to the location where Lu Fan lived, but the two of them were in a hurry, and they had already arrived at their destination in less than half a pillar of incense.
Mingshifang belongs to a rather prosperous market in the capital, but at this time it is already the second half of the night, and the street has long been silent, and there are no people in sight.
In front of a restaurant in Fang City, several brocade guards were stationed at the door with torches, and after seeing the figures of Lu Fan and the others, one of them immediately greeted them.
"Mr. Lu, Yin Xiaoqi, the murder happened in this restaurant, and the hundred households have already brought people in!"
Lu Fan nodded, then stepped in, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a thick bloody smell.
On the ground, there are a lot of corpses lying horizontally and vertically, looking at the clothes of the deceased, it should be the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the guys and others, one by one they died very miserably, and there were a lot of knives on their bodies, it should be that the murderer was worried about leaving a living mouth, and each person made up a few more knives before leaving.
More than a dozen brocade guards were lighting torches at this time, very busy or investigating the traces of the crime, or recording something in the book of impermanence, after seeing Lu Fan and the others enter the door, they just nodded, and continued to be busy with their own affairs.
"Lu Fan is here?"
One of the men, who was tall and was listening to the report of his subordinates, immediately smiled and beckoned to him after seeing Lu Fan's figure.
"I've seen a hundred households!"
Glancing at the hundred household tokens on the man's waist, Lu Fan immediately saluted respectfully, and then stepped forward.
"It's all your own people, and you don't need so many rules. ”
Lord Baihu patted Lu Fan's shoulder very kindly, and said in a low voice: "You have only been filling the vacancy for a short time, and you have encountered this kind of big case, behave well, if you can make achievements, those people below will no longer despise you!"
"Thank you, Lord for help!"
At this moment, Lu Fan has gradually adapted to the identity changes that have come from time travel, and there is nothing wrong with his speech and demeanor.
Regarding the overtures of hundreds of households, whether it is true or false, Lu Fan doesn't care much about it. For him today, survival is the first priority.
And if you want to live, the first thing you have to do is to find out the person who is hiding behind the scenes to assassinate him!
