Volume 2 Dynasty Chapter 209 Gifts
"True Spirit Cult!"
Lu Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly, he thought that the Yao family was sealed because of some crime.
But when he heard these three words, he immediately understood in his heart that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed: "Uncle, why do the people of the True Spirit Sect act like this? ”
"This ....." Yao Laitian glanced at Lu Xuan, and then lowered his head, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at him.
Ah Lai thought he was worried, stomped his feet, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Laitian, this is my eldest brother, I can come back all thanks to my eldest brother's protection along the way, what can you say quickly!" ”
"Hey." Yao Laitian sighed long: "Half a month ago, the old man was seriously ill, and Mrs. was not worried about the rest of the clan, so she asked the old man and me to go to the shops to check the accounts. ”
"Evil gods?"
Lu Xuan's brows furrowed tightly, didn't the True Spirit Sect find the Yao family because of himself?
Ah Lai's face turned pale.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, the shrines enshrined by the imperial court are the righteous gods, and those who are not enshrined by the imperial court are the evil gods of the countryside, and the people who worship such shrines are either killed or exiled once they are discovered by the imperial court.
"Our family..... Is it really dedicated to the evil gods? Alai still has a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Young Master! Don't you know what kind of people the lord and the lady are? That's a great benevolent man who has been giving porridge to the people in years of famine! Yao Laitian's face was a little more angry:
"The evil god they are talking about is just a portrait that Madame begged for, what kind of evil god is that, I think it is the group of people from the True Spirit Sect who want to make meritorious contributions and want to seize our Yao family's property, but everyone in the city thinks so, old man, I wanted to go up and down to rescue the old man, but it is really a fool's dream."
The True Spirit Sect sealed the Yao Mansion in order to seize the property of the Yao Mansion?
Lu Xuan's eyes were solemn, which made sense.
Although the people of the True Spirit Sect are a group of monks, such a huge organization will inevitably cost a lot of money, and coupled with their authority as cultivators, it is not surprising that they want to go off the beaten track to reap some benefits.
It's just that he always feels that this matter will not be like what Yao Laitian said, holding back the doubts in his heart, Lu Xuan said slowly: "Then do you know where Ah Lai's parents are now, let's go and meet them first, so that we can come up with a countermeasure." ”
Yao Laitian shook his head: "I've heard it before, and I have seen people from the clan in the prison through the door of the county office, but when I go the second time, they are no longer in the county office, and I don't know where they went." ”
"Where's that portrait?" Lu Xuan had no choice but to shift his focus: "If I can confirm that there is no problem with the portrait, I still have a way to negotiate with the people of the True Spirit Sect, it is nothing more than to give up the family property and bring the person back alive It shouldn't be a problem." ”
"Hey, since they accused our Yao family of worshipping the evil gods of the countryside, the portrait was naturally taken away by them."
"Brother Lu, what should we do, my father and mother will definitely not do anything bad, for sure." With tears in his eyes, Ah Lai looked at Lu Xuan, revealing deep helplessness.
Fundamentally speaking, Lu Xuan was reluctant to deal with the True Spirit Sect, after all, when he was in the mountain village, from the mouths of those evil people, he learned the news that the national teacher was looking for him, and he couldn't make sure that everyone in the True Spirit Sect knew about his existence, and it was tantamount to delivering it to his door.
But if you really let Alai's family go.
He didn't do anything wrong.
But in the situation, he can't stand by and watch.
Along the way, Ah Lai didn't do much to deal with the evil spirits.
But whenever he was seriously injured or unconscious, it was this child who was only a teenager who took care of him.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Xuan sorted out his thoughts.
This matter is actually not so troublesome, if the person of the True Spirit Sect is really just trying to make money, it is not that he can't negotiate, but his identity is sensitive and not suitable to do this matter, and it is best to let Yao Laitian take Ah Lai around.
I'm afraid, the True Spirit Sect is not seeking wealth, and the Yao family is indeed worshipping evil cults and doing some evil things....
If that's the case........ Lu Xuan slowly closed his eyes, he couldn't help it.
Even if he violated his conscience to save the Yao family, he was not necessarily the opponent of the group of people in the True Spirit Sect.
"Uncle, it's getting late now, tomorrow you go to the county government and ask more about it, see if you can find out where the Yao family is now, if you can find it, it's best to let Ah Lai and them meet first, and carefully understand what happened." Lu Xuan said what he thought.
"What if you can't find it?" Yao Laitian asked aloud.
Lu Xuan sighed slightly, if he couldn't find it, he would have to go and find the people of the True Spirit Sect in person, and he only hoped that he would not be recognized by this group of people after changing his appearance and aura.
At that time, with the status of a cultivator, he will more or less have many advantages over ordinary people.
"Okay, I won't say anything more, old man, I'll go back now and prepare some generous gifts."
Naturally, it costs money to entrust someone to do things, Yao Laitian got up tremblingly, and was about to leave the inn with a cane.
Hearing the sound of the other party going downstairs, Lu Xuan said at this time: "Ah Lai, do you remember how this Yao Laitian behaved?" ”
Ah Lai was still immersed in sadness, but after hearing Lu Xuan's arrangement, he had some support in his heart, and his emotions no longer collapsed like before, and after thinking about it carefully, he frowned and said: "In my impression, Uncle Lai Tian is a very good person, when he was a child, Daddy ran a businessman, and encountered wind and waves at sea, Uncle Lai Tian and I fell into the sea in the end, and he jumped down to save me, but his two children ......."
Ah Lai suddenly paused: "Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Lu Xuan stood at the window, looking at Yao Laitian, who was staggering outside, and his voice was a little cold: "This person is not quite right, his appearance is too coincidental, we just arrived in Fengyang City, and he appeared." ”
"Brother Lu, do you mean he's lying to us?" Ah Lai shook his head in disbelief: "No... It's impossible, Uncle Lai Tian was sold to our house when he was very young, and the mark on his waist was branded by my father himself, and he was going to let him go out to be a shopkeeper in the future, ordinary people don't have this blessing, and his family affairs or something, are arranged by my family, he... How can it lie to us? ”
"You think it's a gift to brand people?"
Ah Lai couldn't understand what Lu Xuan meant, scratched the back of his head, and wondered, "Isn't it?" Many people starved to death that year, if my father didn't sell him, he would definitely have to starve to death, and mark him, then he would be a member of our Yao family, and no one would dare to bully him, and many people couldn't get in if they broke their heads. ”
Lu Xuan no longer dwelled on this matter, just looked at Yao Laitian who was walking on the street and gradually disappeared into the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Did he lie to us, just follow and see." ”
