Volume 2 Dynasty Chapter 245 Heading to Qingshui Village
The woman's words made the surrounding onlookers talk a lot, although they all knew that the world was not very peaceful, but after all, not everyone had seen the evil spirit, let alone understood what she said about the insects that could eat people.
However, a few True Spirit Sect disciples standing at the door frowned slightly, and the leader of the group was silent for a while before he stepped forward and said indifferently:
"Since this is the case, let me enter the mansion first, and after understanding the situation, my True Spirit Sect will definitely make decisions for you."
"Thank you immortals, thank you immortals!"
The woman sobbed gratefully and kowtowed a few more times, until the blood flowed, and then she got up in a panic, and followed a few people to enter the mansion.
It was at this time that Lu Xuan squeezed out of the crowd, took out the token given by the left envoy of the True Spirit Sect with his left hand, and hurriedly weaved a lie in his mouth:
"Da Qi scattered to cultivate Lingtan, invited by the left envoy, came to visit."
Lu Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.
Several True Spirit Sect disciples who had already crossed the threshold, hearing this, immediately turned their heads, and saw the token in Lu Xuan's hand at a glance, their expressions couldn't help but change slightly, and the person at the head walked down the steps quickly, and after seriously looking at the token made of white jade, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said:
"Xiaguan, Hong Xingquan, the deputy commander of Fengfu City, doesn't know that the walking envoy is coming, and he hopes to forgive his sins."
Seeing that the other party was so respectful, Lu Xuan was a little surprised, he only knew that the status of the Zuo Envoy in the True Spirit Sect was not low, and the token he gave him should be able to make him unimpeded in Dajin, but he didn't expect it to make the people of the True Spirit Sect so respectful, after thinking about it for a while, he helped this person up and said:
"I have something important to discuss, this is not the place to talk, and I will go first to talk about it in detail."
"Obey the command."
After Hong Xingquan stood up, he immediately stood on the left and right sides with the rest of the True Spirit Sect disciples, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Seeing them like this, Lu Xuan was a little unnatural.
However, this also confirms a point from the side.
The True Spirit Sect takes the inferiority of the upper and lower very seriously, so the weight of his token is much heavier than he imagined.
In this way, it is convenient for him to do things later.
Seeing Lu Xuan striding towards the mansion, the previous woman was stunned, and subconsciously shouted: "My lord... Folk women..."
Lu Xuan turned around and interrupted her words: "I heard what you just said, you come in with me." ”
"Folk women thank you!"
The woman said that she was going to kowtow again, but Lu Xuan ignored it and followed Hong Xingquan straight into the mansion.
Walking through the corridor and a pavilion, Lu Xuan was taken to a guest hall.
Hong Xingquan personally poured a cup of fine tea for Lu Xuan, and only then did he take a step back and said respectfully:
"Your Excellency, since the establishment of the Fengfu City station, there have been hundreds of evil and troublesome troubles, except for a few tricky ones, which have been reported by subordinates, and the rest have all been summarized into files, all of which are stored in the treasury, and your Excellency can go to explore them at any time."
Lu Xuan's brows condensed slightly, Hong Xingquan's words were obviously a little unexpected to him, he was not coming at the true spirit of Fengfu City.
Soon, Lu Xuan reacted again.
The token given to him by the left envoy of the True Spirit Sect should be the identity of the True Spirit Sect in the mouth of the other party, as for the duties, it can probably be inferred from Hong Xingquan's reaction that he is responsible for supervising the True Spirit Sect disciples in various places.
Originally, Lu Xuan thought that this token should be a symbol of honor and other credentials in the True Spirit Sect.
Now it seems that it should be an official position.
It's not big, it's not small, but it's very suitable for Lu Xuan.
After all, he didn't agree to join the True Spirit Sect, he just hung up a title.
After figuring out where the joints were, Lu Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "You're polite, I'm not here to check the files, but to come for Qingshui Village." ”
"Shimizu Village?"
This time it was Hong Xingquan's turn to be surprised, but the next moment, he showed a look of sudden realization, and said solemnly: "Please also walk to rest assured, the Fengfu City Sect members abide by the decree of the sect master, and have always taken it as their responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, so naturally they will not ignore this matter." ”
Why is this person so fond of speculating on people's hearts?
Lu Xuan was amused in his heart, but he was anxious about Lu Zhaozhao's safety, so he didn't think much about it, but he didn't directly explain what this matter had to do with him, but played a trick and said lightly: "Since you also know that the sect leader has set up mansions in various places to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, since this matter has happened, it is not good to delay it any longer, you bring the woman up, and after asking about the situation, I will go to Qingshui Village with you to exorcise the evil spirit." ”
Hong Xing hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Xuan's expression with the corner of his eye, and then said: "My lord, this matter has to be discussed with the commander, and we can wait before we can get rid of the demon, if we rush to the top to blame..."
"Where is the ruler of Fengfu City?"
Hong Xingquan said with some embarrassment: "My lord, Li leads him ....."
"For what reason, you can say it bluntly, why do you have to twist it so much?"
Hong Xingquan pursed his lips, and said as if he was a little reluctant: "Commander Li led him to take a concubine a few days ago, and he wanted to come to the family before he finished his affairs, so he didn't ...... in the mansion these days."
"Hahaha!" He sat opposite Lu Xuan and covered his stomach, and couldn't stop laughing: "What am I doing when this kid is in such a big circle, it turns out to be eye medicine!" How did he get mixed up with the deputy commander? ”
Hong Xingquan's words also made Lu Xuan stunned.
He originally thought that the True Spirit Church was like the Heavenly Prison of Daqi, strict and solemn.
Now it seems to be a miniature version of officialdom.
Then I thought of the Left Envoy of the True Spirit Sect and Ji Ruyu.
Lu Xuan knew a little more in his heart.
The territory of the Great Jin Dynasty is vast, and the True Spirit Sect has risen in the past hundred years, and the disciples are simply not enough to set up stations in various towns, among which there are some recruited loose cultivators, these people are uneven, most of them should come for glory and wealth, so it can also explain why the True Spirit Sect in Fengfu City set up the position of walking envoy.
"Nonsense!" Lu Xuan had no intention of making these small fights, but he still pretended to be angry and said: "He is newly married Yan'er, you don't have to call him, and bring the woman up, after dealing with this matter, I will report what I have seen and heard in Fengfu City truthfully!" ”
Hong Xingquan didn't expect Lu Xuan to attach so much importance to the affairs of Qingshui Village, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, because of the token, he didn't suspect anything, but turned to a few True Spirit Sect disciples standing outside the door, and ordered: "You wait and bring that woman up first, and the official will personally interrogate her." ”
"No."
didn't wait long in the guest hall, the woman who was crying and breaking her head outside the door was ordered to come in by several True Spirit Sect disciples, looking at Lu Xuan and Hong Xingquan sitting in the lobby, they had completely lost their previous gaffes, but at this moment they were a little more timid, and as soon as they walked into the lobby, they knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.
"Big... Person.... The people's woman Wang Xu's.... Ask the adults to be the masters of the people's women! ”
Lu Xuan remained silent, and it was Hong Xingquan on the side who was responsible for asking:
"And you will know the affairs in detail, 1510, if there is a walking envoy here, he will definitely make decisions for you."
The woman bowed down, not daring to look up at Lu Xuan and Hong Xingquan, and when she heard that she was going to make the decision for her, she cried loudly for a while, and said in fear while crying:
"My lord, a few days ago, a group of outsiders came to our village, they said they were going to spend the night, I didn't think much about it, so I left them, and that night a bunch of insects crawled out of the ground, and the owner let me run, and was gnawed clean by those insects on the spot! Few men, women, and children in the village came out alive, and if I hadn't been close to the entrance of the village, I was afraid that I wouldn't have survived. ”
Hong Xingquan asked, "You mean, the matter in Qingshui Village is because of the group of people taken in by your family?" ”
"It's them! It's definitely them! The woman's expression became more and more excited: "I can see that those insects will not bite them, and those insects must have been found by them." ”
Hong Xingquan's face was a little solemn, and he leaned into Lu Xuan's ear and said in a low voice: "My lord, if the matter in Qingshui Village is not an ordinary evil disorder, but a disaster caused by the monks, I am afraid that we still have to contact other colleagues in this matter to avoid ......"
Lu Xuan didn't care about the affairs of Qingshui Village, let alone the purpose of the gang slaughtering the village, all he cared about was whether Lu Zhaozhao was in Qingshui Village or not, so he said softly: "You can send someone to report the matter of Qingshui Village on the one hand, and on the other hand, go to Qingshui Village with me to investigate the information, no matter what, if you dare to cause trouble in Dajin, you can't let them make the area under the jurisdiction of Fengfu City." ”
Seeing Lu Xuan's resolute attitude, Hong Xingquan naturally didn't say anything, so he continued to interrogate Wang Xu's family: "Which people have any characteristics, such as appearance, that are easy to identify?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Wang Xu said repeatedly: "They are all wearing some colorful cloth clothes, they are wearing a lot of silverware, and their accents are also very strange, they are definitely not our locals, and they can be recognized at a glance in the crowd." ”
"Silverware?" Hong Xingquan's brows furrowed slightly, he really hadn't heard of any powerful people in the Great Jin Dynasty who liked to wear silverware.
"Not only that, but that night the bugs came, and they beat gongs and drums, and ghosts cried wolves." Speaking of this, the woman cried like pear blossoms and rain, and her voice was a little hoarse: "My lord, you have to be the master for us!" ”
"Banging gongs and drums?"
Lu Xuan's expression became solemn, the village woman may not understand, but he has experienced so much, and he can understand it as soon as he hears it, this is the other party is casting a spell, and using a musical instrument to cast a spell, he has seen it as early as when he left the Langyuan Wonderland.
It's the one who doesn't blink to the corpse - Zhu You!
Could it be that he is from Xiangxi again?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's heart rose a lot, and he immediately asked, "Can you see a woman in that group of people?" She was wearing the costume of our Great Jin, she didn't wear any silverware on her body, she had a drum tied to a ribbon around her waist, and her hair was a little gray. ”
The woman lifted her tear-stained face and shook her head blankly.
