Li Aniu and Liu Mazi sneakily left Li Zi Lane, and soon arrived at the entrance of Gongsun Lane. I could already see the door of the ninth master, Li Aniu stopped, Liu Mazi saw Li Aniu stop, he also stopped, and asked carefully: "Brother Aniu, what's wrong?" ”

At this time, Li Aniu was sweating all over his head, and his speech was a little trembling.

"Brother Liu, are you sure you 。。。。。。 The Ninth Master is dead? ”

Liu Mazi's eyes rolled, and he felt that there was a good chance that the master was dead, so he said to Li Aniu with great certainty: "My good brother, can my brother still lie to you about this?" It's true! My brother only found you when he saw the old man breathe. ”

Liu Mazi was very sure of what he said before, and there was a fierce light in his eyes behind him.

"Besides, what if the old man is not dead? The old man is so old, his children and grandchildren are not around, and he is also guilty of living, as the descendants of the old man, we should give the old man a ride. ”

After Liu Mazi finished speaking, he was about to continue walking, but was grabbed by Li Aniu, Liu Mazi looked back at Li Aniu in confusion, but was startled by Li Aniu's fierce eyes, Li Aniu didn't speak, just looked at Liu Mazi, his eyes flashed fiercely in the night, almost scared Liu Mazi to death. Liu Mazi understood the meaning in Li Aniu's eyes in a blink of an eye, and quickly opened his mouth to explain.

"Brother Niu, my eldest brother, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, no one can run away from anyone if something happens, I can't pit myself, right? You relax your heart, as long as the things are in hand, we are five or five points, I have thought about the way back, if something happens, I will throw it all to the mourning star, as long as we bite the confession to death, and then casually pay some money to the ninth master to do the aftermath, no one will find trouble for the two of us for a mourning star who has no father and no mother, and the people in the town can't say that they have to praise the benevolence and righteousness of the two of us. Big brother, you can believe me, I promise nothing goes wrong. ”

When Li Aniu heard this, his face looked a little better, and then said: "You can do as you say, but things get four or six points, I am six and you are four, after all, I do all the dirty work, and I don't care about the old guy's future, after all, if I pay for it, won't it be clear that there is a problem?" Do you really take everyone else for a fool? ”

When Liu Mazi heard this, the whole person almost jumped up, and then lowered his voice and shouted angrily at Li Aniu: "Li Aniu, you are not as black as you, if it weren't for Lao Tzu, would you know this money?" Besides, the ninth master is still... ”

Liu Mazi didn't finish speaking, so he quickly shut up, it turned out that when Liu Mazi was talking, Li Aniu casually took a fist-sized stone and was playing with it up and down.

Liu Mazi swallowed his saliva and quickly changed his words.

"The justice of the ninth master depends on Brother Niu to get it back, you should take the big head, it should be." Liu Mazi was about to greet the eighteenth generation of Li Aniu's ancestors in his heart, and he could only smile on his face.

Li Aniu saw that Liu Mazi was interested, so he didn't scare him, threw away the stone in his hand, ignored Liu Mazi who bowed his head over there, walked calmly, and strode towards the ninth master's house.

Liu Mazi is right, a bad old man, a little kid, even if they are all slaughtered, so what? With money, what's the injustice?

Seeing that Li Aniu was moved to kill, Liu Mazi hurriedly followed, muttering secretly in his heart, want to eat black and eat black? Let's see who has the last laugh, a stupid bull, and he still wants to fight the little master?

The two people who were pregnant with ghosts walked straight to the ninth master's house.

When the two of them came to the door of the ninth master's house, Liu Mazi wanted to take a look inside from the door to confirm the situation, but was pulled aside by Li Aniu, kicked open the courtyard door with one kick, and strode towards the inner room.

I saw that the room was in a mess, obviously it had been checked, and the ninth master was wearing a brand-new shroud and lying flat on the small bed that was still intact. In addition, there is no living person in the entire courtyard, and the mourning star that Liu Mazi said is not in the house at all.

Seeing the dead man, Li Aniu was fine, after all, he was a guy in the pharmacy, and he was still bold, so he seemed a little indifferent, but he was a little weak-hearted. Liu Mazi couldn't do it, seeing Jiu Ye lying upright on the bed, his face was pale, and it suddenly reminded him of his father who was angry with him, and the whole person collapsed on the ground.

Li Aniu originally looked down on Liu Mazi, but he was even more annoyed when he saw Liu Mazi's cowardice, grabbed Liu Mazi's neck and walked out, scolding as he walked: "You coward, haven't you seen a dead person?" The house is so messy, the mourning star must have stolen the money and ran away, we have to hurry up and chase it, otherwise we will be busy tonight. ”

Liu Mazi knew that he had turned over the house, and he didn't dare to tell Li Aniu about this, but what Li Aniu said was not unreasonable, if the money was stolen by Lu Yangsheng, wouldn't he be working in vain? It is said that this money is heroic courage, as soon as it comes to money, this Liu Mazi will be energetic, and he doesn't need Li Aniu to drag it, the whole person stood up all of a sudden, and dragged Li Aniu out of the way.

When Li Aniu and Liu Mazi arrived at the door, the moon that could still be seen just now was no longer visible, the street was dark, and the figure could not be seen clearly, the sky was lightning and thunder, and it was a heavy rain, Liu Mazi thought about it and said to Li Aniu: "Brother Aniu, this is not good, that kid stole money, and he will definitely not go back to his kennel, now it is a heavy rain, this big night, I can't see the figure clearly, none of us know where the kid will hide, and when this kid hides the money, It's hard to get it back. ”

Li Aniu was anxious, and when he heard Liu Mazi say this, he yelled impatiently: "Then what do you say?" ”

Liu Mazi gritted his teeth and immediately replied: "Call someone, let the big guy find it together, just say that the ninth master will hand over the inheritance to the two of us before he dies, so that we can help handle the aftermath, but Lu Yangsheng, the wolf cub, broke in and killed the ninth master when I was out looking for you, and stole all the money, and now I don't know where to go, let the big guy find it together." ”

Listening to Liu Mazi's unreliable plan, Li Aniu asked suspiciously, "Can it work?" ”

Liu Mazi was really anxious, and scolded: "Do you have any other plans?" The money was taken away by that kid, and then we waited for him to hide it later, let's both wait for the bamboo basket to fetch water, the top priority is to find that bastard first, and then we can think of a way to deal with the money, and it's useless to say anything if you can't get the money. ”

When Li Aniu heard this, he also felt reasonable, gritted his teeth, nodded in agreement, and then the two began to shout loudly.

"Murder! Someone has killed someone! The Ninth Master was killed! ”

"Come on, the ninth master is no good, the neighbors will help!"

"The Dead Gate Star has harmed people by playing witchcraft! The ninth master was killed, the big guy helped and asked for justice for the ninth master! ”

In the middle of the night, the two of them were like crows screaming, breaking the peace of the whole town.

In the township, the neighbors are more or less related to each other, as long as there is no major conflict, they will help each other when something happens, when Lu Yangsheng's family first had an accident, there were also neighbors who helped, but then he really couldn't help, plus his reputation was too bad later, naturally no one helped. When the ninth master was alive, he had a good character, plus he played well with the children, taught people knowledge, and helped the neighbors a lot, and the neighbors would more or less miss a little love, so after hearing that the ninth master had an accident, Gongsun Lane but all the young and strong people in the family had no clothes on, and ran out with hoes and firewood knives, stopping Liu Mazi and Li Aniu, who were shouting, to ask what was going on.

Li Aniu had a ghost in his heart, and he couldn't speak clearly, Liu Mazi saw this, and quickly cried, and according to the previous plan, loudly accused Lu Yangsheng of how he was not a human. After hearing this, the neighbors hurried to see the situation of the ninth master, and when they saw that the ninth master had really died, they were furious one by one, and they lit torches and began to look for someone.

The crowd grew, and eventually almost the entire town joined in.

————

Luoxian Town itself is not big, and because of the inconvenient transportation with the outside world, there is no county government in the town at all, and there are things that are generally solved by the patriarch and the clan elders, except for the patriarch is the patriarch of the Li family, almost passed down from generation to generation, the others are not necessarily the big surname portal of Luoyao Street, but they must be the old people with the highest seniority and the best reputation in the town.

In the past, the ninth master was also said to be one of the village elders, but after the ninth master got older, he no longer cared about the affairs of the town.

The current patriarch of Luoxian Town is called Li Chengyuan, and he is not young now, but he is still fair.

On this day, the patriarch had already rested, but he heard a rapid knock on the door outside, and under the impatient urging of his wife, Li Chengyuan had no choice but to put on his clothes, shouting "Coming, coming", and reluctantly opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and with a flash of lightning, Li Chengyuan saw the situation in front of him clearly. I saw a twelve-year-old child kneeling not far from the front of his house, holding a box, and when he saw Li Chengyuan open the door, he first kowtowed a few times, and then raised his head so that Li Chengyuan could see his face clearly.

This child is none other than Lu Yangsheng.

The patriarch couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the person who knocked on the door in the middle of the night was Lu Yangsheng.

To be honest, Li Chengyuan likes Lu Yang's child, he is not very old, but he never asks for help, his parents left early, but the child has not become a second child on the street, and he has never caused trouble to anyone, which is very rare. It's a pity that the reputation is too bad, and the name of a mourning star makes people dare not help if they want to.

Li Chengyuan didn't ask Lu Yangsheng what he was going to do, thinking that Lu Yangsheng came in the middle of the night because he was so hungry that he couldn't survive, and wanted to come and beg for his life. Remembering that there were still some nests left in the kitchen, he said to Lu Yangsheng: "Baby, the patriarch and grandfather really can't help you too much, you wait a while, there are still some nests left in the house, grandpa will bring it to you, you pad your stomach first." ”

After Li Chengyuan finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house to get it.

"Grandpa Patriarch."

Lu Yangsheng cried out to Li Chengyuan, who was about to turn around, and Li Chengyuan looked at this baby in puzzlement.

"Yangsheng is not here to beg for food, but to ask for your help with something."

Li Chengyuan looked at Lu Yangsheng with some embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.

Lu Yangsheng saw Li Chengyuan's embarrassment, and quickly said the matter concisely.

"Patriarch Grandpa, the Ninth Master of Gongsun Lane is gone, the kid happened to be next to him at the time, the Ninth Master entrusted the aftermath to the kid, but the kid doesn't understand anything, and he is also an ominous person, so he doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, so he can only entrust the matter to the patriarch's grandfather."

Lu Yangsheng opened the box in his hand as he spoke, only to see that it was full of broken silver.

"This is the money left by the ninth master to handle the funeral, the kid didn't take a penny, and now it's all to the patriarch's grandfather, I only hope that the patriarch's grandfather can spend this money where it should be spent, and finally leave a filial piety dress for the kid, the kid promised to give the ninth master a linen and filial piety, and he didn't dare to break the contract."

Hearing that the Ninth Master was gone, Li Chengyuan was a little incredulous, touched his heart and took two steps back, and then returned to normal.

After Li Chengyuan returned to normal, his eyes looked at the box painfully, it was the ninth master's, yes. Then I looked at the box, and it was full of silver. Li Chengyuan wiped his eyes in disbelief, that's right, it's all silver.

knew that the Ninth Master was rich, but Li Chengyuan didn't expect the Ninth Master to be so rich.

Li Chengyuan said in embarrassment: "Baby, this money can't be spent." ”

Lu Yangsheng didn't say all the words that the ninth master said to himself before he died, but changed his words.

"The extra Qian patriarch grandpa will put the ancestral shrine first, and then return it to others when the descendants of the ninth master come."

Li Chengyuan thought about it and felt that it was feasible, and originally wanted to agree, but after looking at Lu Yangsheng, he was still a little embarrassed, but he was somewhat unable to speak. Lu Yangsheng comprehended, smiled and said a word.

"Patriarch Grandpa, rest assured, the kid won't appear at the funeral of the ninth master, and when the funeral of the ninth master is over, the kid will go to guard filial piety."

The patriarch wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he could only sigh and agree.

————

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and a group of people ran noisily towards the patriarch with torches, and a light rain began to fall in the sky, and a violent wind suddenly rose.

There shouldn't have been a rainstorm at the end of autumn, but today is a bit unusual.

In late autumn, the wind and rain are coming in an instant.
