Chapter 46: The Death of Lu Zhu
"What? dead?"
As soon as he arrived at Yamen early in the morning, Zhou Ang was shocked by a piece of news.
Lu Zhu, the head of the Lu family in Zhanzhou, who was still personable yesterday and handled with everyone with ease, actually died in the prison of Zhu Yamen in Lingzhou County last night?
Ha?
What kind of shit joke is this?
Wei Ci nodded, obviously although he had known for a while, he had also not recovered from the news, so his expression was a little awkward.
"Scary, isn't it? I don't believe it. But he's dead!"
Zhou Ang felt that his whole brain was wooden.
Or rather, it's a square.
Things change so fast that in the blink of an eye, it's unrecognizable.
He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter? How did he die in prison?"
Wei Ci said: "I originally thought it was foolproof, in the entire Lingzhou County, where would there be a safer place than the prison of the county Zhu Yamen? Not only was there a powerful formation arranged as a whole, but there were also small magic formations between the individual cells, and the outside could not enter, and the inside could not get out, but ......."
"What's even more evil is that this morning, it was the people from the county Zhu Yamen who personally opened the door to release the murderer, because the other party transformed into the appearance of Lu Zhu, until the other party was out of the prison and disappeared quickly, and the person in charge of guarding the prison found the body of Lu Zhu inside, and he knew that it was wrong. The people have long since disappeared. Do you know who the killer is? We all know each other!"
"Huh, we all know each other, don't sell it, who?"
"Do you remember the thunder shock we captured last time?"
"Uh...... What about the case of the Magnolia Sect? I remember him...... He ......"
"Yes, ridiculous, isn't it? We were tortured at the time, Jinxian tortured us with ecstasy, and then for the sake of safe detention, he was transferred to the prison over there, and it turned out that they played us all over from beginning to end. Up and down, no one noticed anything wrong......"
"The case...... It's been more than a month, right? Is that thunder so powerful? Was he in disguise?"
Wei Ci sighed, "I don't know, but Lei Zhen's identity shouldn't be his original identity, I see the meaning of those people in Taizhu Temple, it seems that I have guessed who he is......! Don't care what you say, this time our official cultivators are a shame!"
Lose face...... I'm afraid it's still second, right?
Zhou Ang couldn't help but think in his heart: With Lu Zhi's death, many things collapsed in an instant!
Is the Zhanzhou Lu clan willing to accept the official explanation of the cause of death? Even if they accept it, they died under your protection, how should this matter be calculated?
Lu Zhu is dead, and it seems that the murderer has been locked up by the officials as a master of the Spring Breeze Society, so that master sent himself to the prison for more than a month, which is the idea of killing Lu Zhu, and if he is deliberately waiting for him to enter? What is the purpose? Is it simply a revenge, do you want to kill someone, or ...... Grab something?
So now...... Lost something?
If the thing is gone, and Lu Zhi is also dead, what else will he use to hang Li Ming?
The housewarming wedding banquet of the Lu family, just two days later, there is no need to hold the wedding banquet now, let's mourn!
Thinking of these messy questions, it took Zhou Ang a long time to come back to his senses, and then his first thought was to hurry up and see where Li Ming was now, whether he had run away.
Fortunately, the vision of the mirror quickly locked on him, this guy was still fishing by the river, obviously he didn't know that Lu Zhi had died.
That is, he was not complicit in this matter and did not know about it.
That thing...... At least there is still something to be done in the matter of arresting Li Ming!
............
Lu Zhu's death shocked everyone who heard the news.
But it wasn't until the afternoon, as Gao Jing came back from participating in the deliberations from the county Zhu Yamen's side, that the people on the county Zhu Yamen's side could be regarded as figuring out the general beginning and end of this matter.
The murderer is indeed that Lei Zhen, and there are relevant masters in the Junzhu Yamen and Taizhu Temple, which can clearly prove this matter. It's just that this Lei Zhen, whose real name is actually Han Zhen, is said to have a thick stack of information about him in Taizhu Temple, because he is one of the well-known high-level members of the Spring Breeze Society.
It's just that in this matter, no one expected that he would willingly "fall" to the side of the county Zhu Yamen, and he has also been tried, and the positioning in all aspects is very clear, just a small shrimp of the Spring Breeze Society, and after he was transferred to the prison of the county Zhu Yamen, he behaved normally for more than a month......
Therefore, after holding in the prison for more than a month, he suddenly made a move, killed Lu Zhu, took away the magic weapon he carried, and the next morning, he also transformed into Lu Zhu's appearance through illusion, swaggered open the door of the cell, and ran away.
It is said that the master of Taizhu Temple carried out a "soul return", restoring the whole process of killing Lu Zhu late last night - Lu Zhu, as a sixth-order cultivator, carried a very powerful magic weapon with him, but he didn't even survive for a minute, when the entire prison was already covered by Han Zhen's large-scale illusion, even his magic weapon did not come in handy, and the other prisoners in the same prison at that time, no one noticed, he had been killed by Han Zhen neatly.
The process is scary-fast and simply scary!
Gao Jing said helplessly: "The culpability for this matter, our yamen is in the same county, and half of the family is half." All those who participated in the original thunder earthquake from top to bottom will have some of their merits deducted. But fortunately, a young master and a young lady came to the Lu family, although they were extremely sad, but they didn't mean to blame our two-level yamen. Even, the young lady of the Lu family said on the spot that she was willing to continue to cooperate with Taizhu Temple and us, continue to be bait, and help catch Li Ming, for this reason, their Lu family will not mourn for the time being......"
That's a smart idea!
Li Ming is not dead, for the Lu family, especially for the Lu clan who has lost the protection of Lu Zhu, there is always a sharp sword hanging above their heads, not to mention, if Li Ming knows that Lu Zhu once took refuge in the official cultivators and tried to calculate him, then according to the consistent behavior of the Tongtian Sect, the disaster of destroying the door is probably imminent.
It should be said that the eldest lady of the Lu family, who took the idea, is a very wise and decisive person.
At this time, Zhou Ang hesitated for a moment and said, "County Zhu, can we still go and see the prison in the county?"
Gao Jing shook his head, "The corpses have been transferred, and the prisoners have been investigated one by one from the beginning, and now, if they are not people inside the county Zhu Yamen, it is not easy for anyone to enter." ”
Zhou Ang sighed when he heard this.
What has happened in the last 24 hours has really made him feel quite powerless.
Even, what happened in these twenty-four hours made him feel more powerless than when he faced the fox demon that suddenly came at night, and when he was about to be taken away by Wang Guo's own soul and soul.
This kind of powerlessness from beginning to end, powerlessness to affect the slightest direction of things, and can only watch the opponent fly away after winning the hand, makes Zhou Ang feel quite bored.
Of course, he could guess that the higher he went, the more serious this feeling of boredom would become.
The Jiang Ming member of Taizhu Temple, the county Zhu Shen Ming, when they turned their backs, they were afraid that they would be thunderous - in this matter, they should have been the protagonists, so the feeling of being played with must be stronger and more unacceptable to them.
At this time, everyone didn't know what to say, but He Yi, who had never said much, actually opened his mouth at this time: "Our line of work, isn't that like this? The guards can only guard at fixed points, all they can do is to stare wide-eyed, and then wide-eyed, lest they accidentally stare at it, but even if they have great ability, it is impossible to keep an eye on everything, so in the end, there are always some things that make you feel particularly powerless." ”
Fang Jun, a person who is usually stupid and happy, actually sighed at this time, "Yes, we are dead, others are alive, we will come if we want to come, we will leave if we want to, and we will always have a heart or a heart." ”
At this time, the blow was blowing, and the atmosphere was already mournful, so when they said this, the atmosphere suddenly became more and more depressing.
Zhou Ang lowered his head and was silent, and couldn't help but think, "Forget it, take a little risk, I have to find a way to help everyone lock down Li Ming's whereabouts as soon as possible." It's okay to be dead, Lu Ming can't run away anymore!"
With this thought in his mind, he subconsciously wanted to see where Li Ming was now, but this time, the mirror did not give any reaction after a long time.
Zhou Ang was stunned for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses: this guy has actually run away!
This is the only one possible!
Of course, the "seeing" and "vision" of the mirror are not omniscient and omnipotent, and yesterday Zhou Ang had already figured out through repeated experiments that the range of "vision" that the mirror can control and capture is about 30 miles. Maybe in the future, as his strength increases, the scope of the mirror can be expanded, but at least for now, it can only see the scene within this range.
Therefore, the mirror can't react, which of course means that Li Ming has already run away.
I just don't know where and how this guy got the news, and I don't know what the news he got at all—maybe he noticed the abnormality of the Lu family, or maybe he noticed the abnormality of the official cultivator's actions?
In short, this guy is really clever and not like words!
After thinking about it, Zhou Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that no matter how the official cultivators kept an eye on it next, this matter was already over.
And this incident is undoubtedly the most impressive failure that Zhou Ang has experienced since he came to this world, especially after becoming a cultivator and joining the ranks of official cultivators!
"Han Zhen, Magnolia Sect!"
"Li Ming, Tongtian Sect!"
"I remember you!"
Call...... Finally finished this paragraph.
In fact, before I wrote it, I was hesitant to write such a mournful paragraph, but after hesitation, I still wrote it. It's just that the writing is a little longer than I expected.
I want such a process of growth, although I write it like this, it is indeed a bit literate.
