Chapter 36: "The Great Event"
At night, all of a sudden, the wind rose.
At first, the breeze was light, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a strong wind.
For a moment lightning and thunder roared, and all the trees swayed wildly.
Zhou Ang pressed his body even lower, and carefully stalked on the ridge after roof.
Seeing the other party come to the door of a family, he didn't knock on the door, and his body directly "hidden" in, Zhou Ang didn't dare to follow, waited in the distance for a while, quietly approached, and found that the bronze mirror did not warn again, so he was sure that there should be no other danger in this courtyard except for this person, so he approached and went over to take a look.
However, he didn't dare to go in, firstly, he was not sure of capturing or killing the other party alone, and secondly, he felt that there was still a melon behind this matter, and he should not frighten the other party.
And after hearing their conversation in the courtyard, Zhou Ang was basically sure that the other party had no intention of harming Lu and his family in the short term.
This is a benefit of the recent tensions in the city.
But he still didn't leave without delay, but chose to continue to lurk in place, waiting patiently.
The downpour poured down directly, but Zhou Ang was not afraid of this, his "Tao Yao" had the ability to control air and air flow, although it could not reach the level of aura and spells, but it was no problem to deal with a little rain.
So, he crouched on the ridge of the roof, and it was raining heavily a meter away, but there was a small area of powerful whirlwind sweeping above his head, which happened to "sweep" all the raindrops that fell.
And because it was a small skill at the pure physical level, Zhou Ang was not worried about being detected by the people in that courtyard.
In this way, he waited for another half hour on the roof of the next yard, and made sure that the man had not gone out again, and that even the heavy rain had slowed down, and then he silently wrote down the address in his mind with a little disappointment, and then quietly turned and left.
Of course, this matter had to be reported to the yamen, but it was late at night and the matter was not urgent, so Zhou Ang did not rush back to the yamen, but went home first.
When he returned home, he greeted Lu Chunsheng and told him to go to sleep, Zhou Ang looked at the heavy rain outside the window, but couldn't help but analyze the matter.
One is the matter of Master Lu.
Listening to the conversation in the courtyard, it seems that Master Lu actually has something in his house that the other party wants.
For cultivators, what they want to get is nothing more than magic weapons, pills, etc., this range is not wide, but it is surprising that this guy Lu Dayuan actually hides things in his house that make cultivators covet.
And in Zhou Ang's opinion, whether the person he is tracking today is a human cultivator, or he himself is also a demon, he can enslave the two people around Master Lu, and be respected by them as "master", which means that his strength may be even higher than his previous analysis - listening to their conversation, it is not difficult to guess that the servant and the woman should be demons who have mastered the transformation.
The second is the "big thing" they talked about in their conversation.
What is it that is "important" that these hidden cultivators think is a "big deal"?
............
"Big things, we don't have any 'big things' going on in the city lately, right?"
Early in the morning of the second day, when the wind and rain stopped, Zhou Ang rushed to the county Zhu Yamen after dinner, found Gao Jing, and directly reported what he saw when he went to Lu Dayuan's house last night.
And after listening to Zhou Ang's report, Gao Jing paid attention to it.
After thinking about it, he thought that it was very likely that a group of cultivators, secret sects, or monsters currently lurking underground were brewing something. Combined with the fact that the "Lin family" may be resurrected when Chen Wu, the head of Taizhu Temple came not long ago, of course he didn't dare to ignore it.
Since there is no big thing planned by the government, it is obvious that there is something "big" going to happen elsewhere.
So he immediately gathered people and arranged for it.
Not only can you not alarm the other party and alarm Lu Daren, but you must also cast the net and pay attention to the movements of the fish in the water.
Even, after thinking about it again and again, Gao Jing still arranged for Du Yi to personally go to the county to Zhu Yamen and report the new discoveries and trends in a timely manner - Gao Jing was obviously worried that relying on the strength of the county alone was not enough.
If you don't report it in advance, of course it's your pot if something happens.
But if it is found that something is wrong, it will be reported in time, first, it is convenient to borrow people from the county at any time in the future, and second, if there is something serious that the county can't handle, the main responsibility will also be in the county.
However, after Gao Jing's arrangement was completed, Zhou Ang found again that he was actually light again.
So he simply chose a horse and returned the book according to the original plan.
Leaving the horse in the inn as usual, Zhou Ang climbed over the wall with the book, but this time he didn't meet the cat.
It's just an old man and a young man, and they inevitably have a pot of tea and talk until noon.
Seeing that it was noon, Old Man Lu Duan had no intention of keeping food, and Zhou Ang also took the book directly and got up to say goodbye.
Only this time, instead of going back to the city directly, he chose to sit down at the inn where the horses were stored in the town, asked for a few dishes, and ate slowly.
It has been stored twice, and I don't know how many times I will come in the future, just by rewarding the shopkeeper a few forage money every time, and the shopkeeper is afraid that it will be difficult to speak for a long time, so I will eat.
When the money is spent, people will be happy to serve you.
As soon as I heard that I was going to eat and lead the horse, the smile on the store's face that morning, which was still a little stiff in the morning, was instantly vivid, and enthusiastically recommended a few specialty dishes in their store, and then personally served tea and bowls.
Zhou Ang doesn't drink either, he just wants food to eat.
He was eating, and suddenly saw a few dukes come in, and the shopkeeper hurriedly entertained and flattered, Zhou Ang was indifferent, and soon finished eating two bowls of rice, wiped his mouth and was about to ask the shopkeeper to lead the horse and get up and leave, but before he could get up, he suddenly heard the discussion of the two dukes on the table over there, and he sat back again.
"It is said that the scene will be very big, you think, in one go, the chefs of the seventeen restaurants have been chartered, and it is said that everyone in Lingzhou City has some faces...... Tsk, rich!"
"Hey, what's the origin of this Lu family? Move and make such a big formation?"
"Then who knows! Anyway, it is said that he came from Zhanzhou below. I heard that my ancestors were also officials, and they also had big officials! That is, in the last two generations, it seems that they have not been a leader, but the foundation of the family is still there, and it is said that the family has thousands of acres of fertile land! This kind of family, a fart is a big deal!"
"It's a pity that you and I are lowly and small, otherwise, I would have taken an invitation to see and see. If you don't want to eat him and drink him, it's a good thing to see and learn!"
"Don't think about it! Kill pigs and know pig raisers, dogs only remember to hold sticks in their hands, we can't go to such a door!"
"Hahaha......! I'm going to do it, and you're going to take care of it."
"That's it! Today, this family is said to be rich, and you and I will use all our skills, let alone squeeze out his twenty taels of white silver!"
As they spoke, their voices gradually lowered.
But it doesn't matter, Zhou Ang is not too interested in the following things.
His attention had already been attracted by what the two of them had just said.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that as early as when Master and the others had just left, and they ran to the tea stall by the Lingjiang River to drink tea and relax, it seemed that they had heard the stall owner, Dr. Tea, talk about such a thing.
At that time, it seemed that the Lu family was moving.
