Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 504: The truth behind the murder of Lü Huan in Lüjia Village (Part )
"How did my great-granddaughter Lu Huan die two years ago?"

When Lü Ci's eyes widened as he interrogated his cousin Lü Zhi, Lü Zhi remembered that his cousin's nickname was "Mad Dog."

His aggressive look at this moment made Lu Zhi even more nervous.

But thinking that the present was different from the past, Lu Zhi still forced himself to calm down and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Do you have to bring up your family's shame again on such a festive day?"

Seeing Lu Zhi being so stubborn, the madness on Lu Ci's face suddenly disappeared, as if it had never been there. Instead, he looked at his third brother, who had supported him all the way from the war years to the present, with a look of pity, sadness, and anger at his lack of fighting spirit.

"Third brother, why do you still think I don't understand anything? It's true that this is a family scandal of our family, and it's also true that Lü Liang entered the Quanxing, but have you forgotten that the Quanxing monsters dare to admit to any evil, no matter whether it's a big evil or a small evil, as long as they did it. That bastard Lü Liang entered the Quanxing but still refused to admit that he killed Lü Huan. He insisted so much even at this point. Do you think I can't see that there was something wrong with Lü Huan's murder two years ago?

Can't you see who this Lu family dinner is for? Don't think about notifying anyone. I just asked you to keep an eye on this family dinner. Think about it carefully. As long as it hasn't been held yet, there is still room for redemption..."

Having said that, Lu Ci did not give his third brother a chance to react. He put one hand on Lu Zhi's shoulder. The Ruyi Force penetrated into Lu Zhi's body and circulated around him. To outsiders, they would only think that Lu Ci and Lu Zhi were just two old brothers chatting about interesting things in the past.

After finishing what his elder brother Lu Ren had asked him to do, Lu Ci looked in the other direction of Lujia Village. He knew that his elder brother was finishing up the matters of Lujia Village.

"We're here. Look, this is the dyeing factory of our Lu family during the period of public-private partnership. However, this is the old site. The new one was incorporated into the No. 60 Printing and Dyeing Factory in our city as a workshop in the s. It is even larger than when our Lu family was running it. Thanks to that time, the average monthly salary in Lujia Village was yuan. Zhang Chulan, this is not a small amount."

Zhang Chulan certainly knew what it meant for a village with an average monthly salary of 25 yuan in the 1950s. It could be said that it was a wealthy village known throughout the surrounding area.

What Lu Ren said might sound strange. After all, he and Lu Ci were the two pillars of the Lu family. Although they had no luxury of fine clothes and delicious food since childhood, they definitely had enough food and clothing. Otherwise, they would not have been able to practice the family's inherited Ruyi Jin and travel around the world to fight the Japanese.

But as mentioned before, Lujia Village is a clan village with the Lu family as its roots.

Since it is a clan, there are naturally differences in closeness and distance between relatives. Those who are close to the main family will naturally have an easier life. Those who are distant relatives or collateral relatives have to depend on the mood of the main family, and it is normal for them to become extinct.

Even if Lu Ren wanted to change, he was powerless in that old era because he could not make more money, nor could he find a job for other people in the village.

It was not until he overruled all opposition and put all of the Lu family's businesses into public-private partnership that he found a way out for everyone in Lujia Village, a chance to survive without having to depend on others.

So even if only Lu Ci supported him at that time, the opposition of other elders in the family would be of no avail because he was on the side of the majority.

As the old patriarch and village chief, people in Lujia Village still remember his kindness and respect him.

Whenever talking about the decision he made back then, Lu Ren's face shows a bit of pride.

Zhang Chulan could understand Lu Ren's behavior. Although he was born in modern times, he later lived in a village. Although it was not as wealthy as Lujia Village, it allowed him to live a carefree life as a child.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Zhang Chulan also noticed a line of words on the stone tablet of the former site of the Lu Family Dyeing Factory. He took a closer look and found that it was actually a poem?

The poem is called Snow.

The four lines of poetry are:
Heavy snow fell.

It must be the royal auspiciousness.

Three more years, why not?

Fuck your mother's shit!

Zhang Chulan was stunned when he read it, and he also noticed that these four lines of poetry were not written on the stone tablet, but printed on the inside of the stone tablet. What surprised him even more was that he could actually feel Qi from these four lines of poetry?
"Are you surprised? You can transform your Qi into a physical form, but there are only two people in the world who can keep the Qi from dispersing for decades."

"Is this what Senior Wang Yi left behind?"

"Who else could it be but him? Your Master Zhang Zhiwei would not do such a boring thing. Zhang Chulan, do you know why he left this doggerel?"

"Is it related to the truth I want to know?"

"You're not stupid. You must have read the files I sent you on the way here."

"Mr. Lu, I've seen it, but do you really want to do this on such a happy day?"

"The real happy day will be when we remove the thorns that have been nailed into Lujia Village and everyone in Lujia Village no longer has to live in this semi-enclosed life."

Zhang Chulan and Xu Si on the side were confused. They had no idea what Lu Ren was talking about with Ren Fei, the person in charge of Central China, and Lu Ren did not intend to hide it.

"Zhang Chulan, I know you are looking for the truth behind the incident that caused your grandfather to hide his identity and your father to be missing till now. I can also tell you that our Lu family was also affected in that chaos, and the reason is exactly the same as the file you saw in the car."

"Master Lu, you mean to say that there are people behind your brother, all of whom are survivors of the chaos back then."

"Yes, if you help me remove this poisonous sting from our Lu family, I will tell you everything I know."

"Master Lu, you are writing me a blank check."

"Haha, kid, you are smarter than your grandfather Zhang Huaiyi. Then let me tell you something first. After the chaos, why did your grandfather hide his identity and why has your father not returned yet? It was all to protect you. Because although the chaos was quelled, there are still a group of people hiding, either in various circles in the country or overseas. Their goal can be said to be for the eight strange skills that your grandfather and his friends have comprehended, or it can be said that it is not as simple as the eight strange skills.

These people also have a unified name. We old guys call them the descendants of Jiashen. With such a direction, it will be much easier for you to find out the truth. I have already paid a part of my sincerity in advance. Zhang Chulan, shouldn't you also express your gratitude? "

Descendants of Jiashen?

Zhang Chulan savored the word that Lu Ren said carefully. Was it really as he had guessed?
The chaos that nearly overturned the entire world of extraordinary people and forced his grandfather to live in hiding and never dare to return to Mount Longhu, actually had its roots in the revelation of the sworn brotherhood of the thirty-six thieves in the year of Jiashen in the 44th year?
In this case, are the sects behind the thirty-three righteous disciples who swore brotherhood with Wu Gensheng, the biological father of Sister Baoer, Feng Yao, the first to bear the brunt? Has the scope of the investigation of the truth been narrowed?
After quickly reviewing the information in his mind, Zhang Chulan met Lu Ren's eyes and showed no sign of being outdone.

"Master Lu, it's a deal then."

"There's still an hour until the family dinner starts. You have time to prepare."

"Fourth Brother, Sister Fei, please keep those files with you. I can use them."

Seeing Ren Fei take out the file he carried with him, Zhang Chulan snatched it away, took the paper and pen from Xu Si, found an open space at the former site of the Lu Family Dyeing Factory, and began to write and draw.

At this point, Ren Fei was a little confused.

Zhang Chulan, who is not related to her, actually called her, the person in charge of Central China, "Sister Fei"? This guy is really not shy at all.

However, the temporary worker in the Central China region, Clarinet, who had been following Ren Fei like a bodyguard, stroked his beard and approached behind Zhang Chulan with interest, watching which direction he was going to break through.

At the same time, he was also looking at Feng Baobao who was standing next to Zhang Chulan like a curious baby.

At present, each of the seven major regions of the domestic Nadutong Company has a temporary worker working in their respective regions, responsible for monitoring the activities of strangers in each major region. Unless their supervisor informs them of their identities, the temporary workers will not recognize each other when they meet.

For the company, temporary workers are actually a bottom line for the alien world. If the alien world's affairs cannot even be handled by temporary workers, or even if temporary workers themselves get into trouble, the actions taken by the company will be different. As the saying goes, anti-gangsterism requires evidence, while anti-terrorism only requires a list of names.

But no matter what, those who are selected as temporary workers in the company naturally have their own strengths, but the most important part is the ability to fight!
Hei Guan'er was confident that in the Central China region, unless he encountered Lu Ren and Lu Ci, the two pillars of the Lu family, who attacked him, he would at least be able to escape unscathed no matter which strange person he encountered.

But Feng Baobao, this girl who looks rough and simple and has no scheming, is also a good fighter?
Thinking of this, Hei Guaner wanted to wait until the matter in Lujia Village was settled, and then find some time to compete with Feng Baobao, his colleague from the North China region.

But now, Hei Guan'er wanted to see how Zhang Chulan was going to help Lu Ren remove the poisonous thorn hidden in Lujia Village.

It can be seen that at this moment Zhang Chulan is writing down on paper the names of the eight unique skills that Zhang Huaiyi and his companions had comprehended in the past. Now that these eight unique skills have reappeared in the world, they are no longer a secret to the extraordinary world.

He also repeatedly watched the video of the interrogation of Lu Gong, another party involved in the case of Lu Liang killing his sister, which was sent by Ren Fei and others.

From time to time, he also looked through the files about the Lu family's embezzlement of state-owned assets and transfer of funds.

Every sentence, every case, and every name of the Lu family members involved in these files were not spared.

Soon, before the sun set, Zhang Chulan handed the meridians he had sorted out to Lu Ren.

Looking at the names of the Lu family members involved in the context that Zhang Chulan had sorted out, Lu Ren also let out a long sigh.

"Is that really the case? The death of the second brother must have had another reason."

"Master Lu, what did you say?"

"Nothing, but Zhang Chulan, what makes you think there must be eight unique skills here, and these hands are causing trouble?"

"I don't know, but someone will tell me the answer."

"Who?"

Zhang Chulan did not answer, but took out an outdated PHS from his pocket and showed the text messages in it to Lu Ren, Xu Si, and Ren Fei.

"Alright Chu Lan, you hid it well enough to hide it from us."

"The factions in the alien world are clearly separated from them, but that doesn't mean the company is not good enough."

"Of course, no wonder the old man chose you."

Xu Si gave Zhang Chulan a thumbs up, the meaning was self-evident.

Lu Ren looked at the PHS in Zhang Chulan's hand that was communicating with the unknown caller and asked, "Where is he?"

"On the way, probably almost there."

"Then let's go. This family dinner won't start without one person coming. Please be a witness."

After returning the phone to Zhang Chulan, Lu Ren walked towards the Lujia Village Square, and Zhang Chulan and the others hurriedly followed him.
-
As night falls, the village square of Lujia Village is already bustling with people.

Led by the main branch of the Lu family, the three brothers Lu Ren, Lu Ci and Lu Zhi, the side branches, distant relatives and those who married out also took their seats one after another. They all looked at Lu Ren who was sitting on the armchair at the main table, but no one called for the meal to begin.

Without the permission of Lu Ren, the respected old village chief and clan leader, they would not dare to let the children pick up their chopsticks even if they were greedy.

And Lu Zhi, who has always been a good guy in Lujia Village, said nothing and did not ask why Lu Ren did not call for the meal to begin.

The villagers of Lujia Village sat quietly in the village square for nearly half an hour. Gradually, some people realized that something was wrong with this family dinner.

Especially those members of the Lu family who already had something to hide were now sweating profusely and were wondering whether they should try to find an excuse to leave the table.

It was not until this moment that the patriarch Lu Ren spoke.

"Why are you so impatient? Our Lujia Village has been the most united since its development. If one person is not present at this Lujia Village family dinner, the feast cannot begin."

"What is the clan leader talking about, Grandfather, Third Grandfather, Uncle Yong, Uncle Xiao, Uncle Yi, Uncle Li, Uncle Zhong, Aunt Ping, Aunt Yun, Aunt Bi, Lu Gong, Lu Xi, Lu Luo, Lu Qiang..."

Some people who were curious were counting the descendants of the main lineage, including Lu Ren, Lu Ci, and Lu Zhi. As they were counting, some people realized that they had forgotten about that guy.

Just then, a figure appeared outside the village square under the light of the street lamp, and the sound of footsteps was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man wearing glasses and with a somewhat childish face taking off his hood under the street light, revealing his true face.

The moment he saw the other person, Lu Ci's great-grandson Lu Gong stood up in shock and anger. His eyes and brows were somewhat similar to those of the newcomer, and he was even more furious at this time.

"Lü Liang, you beast, you still have the nerve to come back!"

"Lü Gong, I am your brother, the eldest grandfather, the grandfather, the third grandfather, and there are so many people here. Do you want to fight me here?"

"you!"

"Lü Gong, sit down. I was the one who asked Lü Liang to come back."

"Grandpa?!"

Lu Gong was puzzled, but looking at the look from his dear grandfather Lu Ci, Lu Gong could only sit down resentfully.

But looking at the empty seat next to him, he knew who it was reserved for.

"Grandpa, first grandpa, third grandpa, I'm back."

"I'm glad you're back. The seat next to Lu Gong is reserved for you. Please sit down and let's start the meal."

There were no emotional fluctuations on the faces of Lu Ren and Lu Ci, and Lu Zhi, the third son of the Lu family who had long been restrained by Lu Ci, could only watch Lu Liang sit down without saying a word.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's eat."

At Lu Ren's command, the curtain of the Lujia Village family banquet was officially opened.
