The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 137
the next morning.

Luo Zuyin stood at the gate of Xichun Tower in good spirits, watching Lu Qian leave in the car.

His butler, also blushing, stood beside him.

Luo Zu watched Lu Qian's carriage slowly walk up the suspension bridge, reached the apex of the suspension bridge, and then slowly disappeared in front of his eyes.

He stretched out his big hand, patted Qi Youming's shoulder heavily, and said, "This time, I will remember your merit."

Qi Youming's thin body was staggered by him.

Butler Qi laughed and said, "It's all master's command."

At this time, a flying horse suddenly appeared at the bridgehead and rushed towards it.

Luo Zuyin took a look and saw that the passengers on the horse were actually members of his own family.

The visitor rushed to Luo Zuyin's side, suddenly pulled the rein, and the horse under his crotch gave a sound of "Xijinjin", and the person stood up.

Before the horse's front hooves fell, the passengers on the horse rolled off the horse's back and rushed to Luo Zuyin, panting, "Master, something is wrong!"

Luo Zuyin frowned, and said displeasedly: "What's the matter, you're in a panic."

The man said: "Last night, Master Qi Yun, Master Lin and his staff all died in the county government office!"

Luo Zuyin suddenly widened his eyes, looked at him in shock, and said, "You...what did you say?"

His well-known servant Ding took a few more breaths, breathed evenly, and then said in a deep voice: "Master, I just heard the news from the county government. This morning, when the county government opened the office, the people in the yamen discovered , in the back hall of Zhengya, Master Qi Yun, the county magistrate Lord Lin, and Lord Lin's personal guards all... all died inside."

Luo Zuyin said in shock: "This... how is this possible... is this news true?"

The servant nodded and said: "It is absolutely true, sir, there is a servant in the yamen who is from my hometown. When he got the news, he immediately sent someone to tell me. I just went out to inquire, and the matter has already spread on the street."

Luo Zuyin turned her head and exchanged glances with Jin Saier and Qi Youming.

Unbelievable was written on the faces of the three of them.

Qi Youming calmed down first, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Mr. Fang, the county magistrate?"

The servant replied: "Master Fang got up late and was on his way to the county government office. At this time, the county government office has become a mess."

Luo Zuyin frowned and thought for a moment, then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the bridge.

At the end of the bridge, a carriage just passed by.

Luo Zuyin's heart suddenly thumped, and he thought to himself, "It's not like he killed him, right?"

Immediately, he shook his head again, asked himself and answered: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible. He stayed in Ruyan's room last night and never even went out of the room. How could he run to the county office?" kill."

Luo Zuyin thought for a while, then turned to look at Jin Sai'er, and asked, "Where are Ruyue and Ruyan?"

Jin Sai'er glanced at him and said, "Of course he's still lying on the bed, like two dead dogs..."

Luo Zuyin leaned close to Jin Sai'er's ear and whispered a few words.

Jin Sai'er raised an eyebrow at him, and said: "I already asked Caiyue this morning, and they didn't go to sleep until midnight last night. Caizhu stared at him for the rest of the night, and nothing happened."

Luo Zuyin nodded, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to himself, "It's also strange, why would I be suspicious of him."

Then, Luo Zuyin turned to look at Qi Youming, and asked, "Youming, what do you think?"

Qi Youming frowned, and said: "It's... hard to say. If Mr. Lin was assassinated, there are many people who want to kill him. We don't know the details, so it's hard to judge."

Luo Zuyin nodded, and said to his servant: "Go, continue to inquire and find out what happened last night."

"Yes, sir."

The servant took the order, turned over and rode on the horse, and galloped away.

Luo Zuyin turned to Jin Sai'er again and said, "A major incident is about to happen in the city. Go and wake up Old Man Liu and tell him about it. Hmph, this is a bitch."

Jin Sai'er nodded and said, "I see. I'm afraid the whole city will be under martial law soon, so you should go back to your residence first. If I get any news from here, I will send someone to notify you immediately."

"Ah."

After Luo Zuyin finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Lead the horse and go back to the residence."

……

……

Lu Qian sat in a carriage and turned to the market halfway to buy some fruits for food. When he returned home, the four cities were under martial law.

The news of the county magistrate's sudden death has spread throughout the city.

When Zhao Xiaofeng saw the two bags of fruit and fried goods that Lu Qian was carrying, a smile appeared on her face, she reached out to take the two bags, licked her lips, and said, "Brother Qian, why did you eat wine all night?" .”

"Oh……"

Lu Qian replied: "Then Luo Yuanwai was too enthusiastic, and he finished eating after drinking. You also know that you can't go out at night, so you stayed there."

"Ah."

Lu Qian asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Xiaofeng said: "Eat early, I have been fiddling with the vegetable garden all morning."

Lu Qian smiled and said: "You are really a hard worker, so you can't take it easy."

Xiaofeng said: "It's good to live in this city, but I'm not used to getting up every morning and not going out to dig the ground."

Lu Qian said: "You will get used to it slowly. Do you want to find a girl to serve you?"

Xiaofeng immediately shook it like a rattle, said: "Don't, don't, I have hands and feet, but I can't stand being served."

Lu Qian knew that Xiaofeng would say that, so he didn't care, and asked, "What about them?"

Xiaofeng said: "It's all in the Moon Palace. You didn't go home last night, they came out and talked to me for a while, then went back, and I went to bed early."

Lu Qian nodded and said, "I'll go in and have a look, you should do your work first."

"Ah."

Lu Qian said goodbye to Xiaofeng, went straight to the study in the back hall, and then went down the secret passage to the underground secret room.

In the underground secret room, there is a bright moon hanging.

This underground secret room is airtight and does not see a little sunlight, so it becomes the most ideal place for paper brides to enter and exit the Moon Palace.

Therefore, Lu Qian hangs a round of moon scissors door here every day for their use.

Passing through the Jianyue Gate and entering the Moon Palace, Lu Qian couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the scene inside.

The Moon Palace at this time is quite different from before.

Under the osmanthus tree in the distance, there are arhat beds, rattan chairs and other furniture, with the crown of the tree as the roof, as if it has already become a home.

Outside the canopy of the trees, there are eight square fields spread out on top of the square fields, which are full of greenery, as if they are already a field of rice paddies.

As for those coffins, they were obviously disgusted by the three women and were thrown far away.

At this time, Zuo Qiuling was practicing tricks in the open space. It seemed that she had just learned a new trick and was studying it.

Ji Siyu stayed alone, not knowing what he was doing.

Jing Yanxiu was sitting leisurely on the rattan chair under the osmanthus tree, actually doing needlework.

She was the farthest away from Lu Qian, but she was the first to see him, and immediately put down the work in her hands in surprise, ran over with small steps, and said, "Master, are you back?"

Lu Qian nodded, pointed to something she had put on the wicker chair, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jing Yanxiu smiled, and said: "I think my husband sewed pockets on his clothes because he thought there was no place to put the paper spirits; but when he went out to meet people in a long gown, he thought the pockets on his clothes were ugly. So I wondered, how Sew some hidden pockets on the gown, which are both beautiful and convenient to put things in.”

Lu Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said, "That's right, it's still Xiu'er's dexterity."

Hearing Jing Yanxiu's words, Ji Siyu immediately ran over, looked at Lu Qian expectantly, and asked, "How are you doing, my lord?"

Lu Qian shrugged and said, "I told you, I won't let him see the sun today."

After hearing this, Ji Siyu threw herself on Lu Qian and burst into tears again.

Lu Qian stretched out his hand to touch her little head, and comforted her, "Okay, okay, don't cry, it's all over."

"Um……"

Ji Siyu was sobbing, but still refused to leave his embrace.

At this time, Zuo Qiuling slowly recovered, walked over, saw this scene, curled her lips first, and then said:

"Sanggong, you killed the county magistrate, didn't you leave anything behind?"

Lu Qian let go of Ji Siyu, and said to Zuo Qiuling, "Don't worry, last night a group of people can prove that I stayed in Xichun Tower all night and never even went out, so they won't suspect me."

Zuo Qiuling glanced at Ji Siyu, and asked, "Master, Siyu told me last night, but she didn't make much sense. Why do you want to kill the county magistrate all of a sudden?
Although the county magistrate is not a high-ranking official, he is the head of a county after all, and the court probably won't give up easily. "

When Ji Siyu heard this, he was immediately displeased and said, "Of course my husband took revenge for me."

Lu Qian said: "Siyu's matter is naturally one-sided. But even without Siyu, if we want to live in Dinghezhou safely, this beast must be killed."

After finishing the sentence, Lu Qian paused and continued to explain: "This Lin Shangzhen has a vicious mind and acts insidiously and secretly. Since he has the task of 'respecting the river god', he will sacrifice me to the river god sooner or later. , then it’s better for me to start first.”

Ji Siyu nodded and said, "My husband is a foreigner and has no background. In Lin Shangzhen's opinion, he must be the most ideal sacrifice."

Zuo Qiuling asked again: "Then, wouldn't it be better for Mr. Xiang to kill him quietly? Why did you ask Ji Siyu to come out and disturb him first?"

Lu Qian said: "This is called 'leading the snake out of the hole'. Lin Shangzhen has been operating in Dinghezhou for many years, and has many confidantes. If he is just killed and his confidantes are missed, then these people will definitely work hard to track down Lin Shangzhen. Cause of death. Endless troubles.

I will use Siyu to frighten him first, he will definitely gather all his confidantes to discuss countermeasures.At that time, if I make a move again, I will be able to wipe them all out without leaving any future troubles. "

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he sneered and said, "Right now, everyone in Lin Shangzhen's faction is dead, and only the county magistrate, Fang Qiaonian, is left. This man, I'm afraid he will pay more attention to how to get the county magistrate's seat, and Not to investigate the cause of his predecessor's death."
