Chapter 123: Facelings
"Zhao Xin, shake people for our family immediately!" Lu Yun couldn't wait to announce the good news.
"Little obedience!"
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Zhao Xin also looks happy.
Soon, the people arrived.
Ahem......
Lu Yun cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and said, "After our family's efforts, Deacon Cao finally agreed, and the head of a thief ......."
Speaking of this, Lu Yun deliberately paused, and the group below immediately stretched their necks and opened their eyes wide.
Especially Hu Yanyong, he swallowed his saliva anxiously.
"One hundred taels of silver!"
As soon as the words ended, the crowd below immediately cheered.
"The captain is mighty!"
"With this money, I can break through to the middle level of strength!"
"I'm faster than you, I can break through to the high level of strength!"
Wang Yang smiled when he saw the excited looks of the people around him, he knew that from now on, Lu Yun would be the leader of their team, and no one would change.
"Wait for the above to settle the account, this money can be sent to your monthly salary, if anyone dares to deduct your money, just come to our family, we will make decisions for you!"
Lu Yun said murderously.
"Thank you, Captain Lu!"
Seeing this, Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction.
Then he instructed the points to pay attention to in the daily tasks of the West Factory as usual, communicated with everyone and left.
After that, he went straight to the archives.
"Wancheng...... Got it! ”
This is the latest information sent by the intelligence officer, dated two days ago, and it records a strange incident that happened in Wancheng, and according to the clues gathered, he suspects that it was the work of one of the most wanted criminals on the Daqian list.
A fast horse out of Beijing.
Wancheng.
Located in the north of Jingzhou, it is one of the largest cities in Jingzhou.
It was getting late, and the streets were dark, except for the occasional patrolling soldier and watchman.
"Uncle Qin, I'll go back first." A woman dressed as a maid said to the porter of the Cui Mansion.
"Rongrong, it's so late, it's not safe on the road, or stay with me for the night." Uncle Qin, the porter, looked at Liang Rongrong and said with a smile.
"No, I still have something at home, I'll go back first." Liang Rongrong took a few steps back and hurriedly ran away in fright.
She had long heard that the porter Uncle Qin was an old pervert, where did she dare to stay with him for the night.
"But, it's so dark outside!" She looked at the dark night and couldn't take a step.
Liang Rongrong is a maid hired by Mr. Cui's family in Xifang, and his family lives in Dongfang.
Master Cui is not a big family in Xifang, and the family did not buy a few maids, so he hired four or five maids to help, and she was one of them.
Every morning before the sky is completely bright, she has to come from the house in the east to the house of Master Cui in the west to work for Master Cui, but in the evening, Master Cui has no place for them to live, so he will let them go home by themselves.
From the west to the east, if the place is far away, it is likely to take half an hour.
It's hard to be a maid, and it's already night after being busy, and they usually go back together for safety.
However, there are times when it is an exception, after all, it is not possible for everyone to complete the task at hand at the same time, so sometimes they can't wait and have to go separately.
At first, they were a little worried, but after a long time, they saw that there was nothing wrong, so it didn't matter.
But today, Liang Rongrong was careless for a while and forgot to wash the bedding and clothes she was responsible for.
It wasn't until late afternoon that she remembered it.
These bedding clothes were all changed by Mr. Cui's family, if she didn't wash them today, and the bedding clothes didn't dry in time, she would be fined half a month's wages.
Liang Rongrong could only let the hired maids go first, and she stayed alone to wash the bedding and clothes.
By the time she finished washing her bedding and clothes and hanging them on the bamboo poles, it was already the middle of the night.
She rarely goes home at such an hour, but she can't stand in Cui Mansion all night or sleep on the floor, then she will definitely not have the mental work tomorrow.
As for going to sleep with Uncle Qin, the concierge, he didn't dare to think about it.
"No matter, it wasn't anything before, and it will definitely be the same tonight."
After Liang Rongrong finished cheering himself up, he picked up the butter paper lantern and went out of Cui's mansion.
Red lanterns hung in front of each house in Xifang, but it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
It was so quiet that only the barking of dogs could be heard occasionally.
It is difficult to get out of the west square, the main road is deserted, and there is no light in sight.
It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, like a dark beast that would devour people.
She suddenly had an urge to return to Cui's mansion.
It's just that she stopped and thought about it, but still mustered up the courage to move forward.
It stands to reason that she would not be afraid under normal circumstances, after all, she has walked several times at night, and it is not uncommon to be later than this time.
But these two days are different.
I heard that there was a murder in the city, and the deceased died in an extremely tragic state, and the whole person's face was peeled off and bloody.
The murderer has not yet been caught by the government.
Thinking of this, Liang Rongrong couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body.
As she walked, she asked herself not to be cranky and scare herself.
"Wancheng is often patrolled at night, and it is very safe."
Still, her mind couldn't help but diverge, thinking about the various ghosts that might be lurking in the night.
I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
The cool breeze blew slowly, making her feel cold in her heart again.
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and glanced at the flame in the lantern, and her fear subsided slightly.
Suddenly, a hand reached out of the darkness and rested on her left shoulder.
"Ahh
Liang Rongrong let out an exclamation involuntarily, but then covered his mouth with his hand.
"You, who are you?" Her teeth chattered up and down.
No one answered her, and there was a deathly silence behind her.
Woowoo......
She was frightened and anxious, tears flowed out, she seemed to move forward, but she couldn't take a step, her body was frozen.
In the darkness of the night, the main road was silent, and time seemed to be frozen.
If it weren't for the hand on her shoulder, she would have thought it was all fake.
Just when she was about to lose it anymore, a joking voice sounded.
"You think it's fun? Why don't we come and play with you? ”
Hearing this voice, Liang Rongrong turned his head in a daze, the owner of that hand was wearing a white loose robe, and had a smooth face without eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, and facial features.
Can it speak without a mouth?
Liang Rongrong fainted directly.
What she didn't notice was that in the dark night, a figure in a dark golden cloak was standing on the eaves of the wine shops along the street.
