Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 81 The child meets his adoptive father!

"You want to spare my life now? How could you have no sense of shame?"

The official's gnashing teeth and words came together with the steel knife, which went between the two soft breasts, splashing a pool of blood.

The bitch fell on the bed, her eyes wide open, her hands covering her chest, and her throat gurgling...

In an instant, the bed was covered in blood...

Just as Lu Junyi killed two people in a row, he looked around and saw a headless man lying on the ground with his clothes in disarray, and another man was twitching on the bed with his chest wide open and covered in blood.

The whole house was filled with blood and disgust...

Even Yan Qing behind him was stunned. In an instant, two lives were lost and the place was in a mess.

Lu Junyi put down the steel knife in his hand and sat down next to the small table. His anger had subsided a lot, and his drunkenness was gone. He stamped his feet and sighed, "Alas..."

He shook his head again: "What is this? How could such a thing happen in my house?"

Lu Junyi had killed all his men, but now he really couldn’t understand what was going on!
At this time, Yan Qing couldn't understand why he had such a good master, such a good house, and such a good life.
Two lives lost...

Yan Qing responded briefly and said, "Master, I'll clean it up right away."

As he said this, Yan Qing went to the bed first, so he could not look at the body. He just wrapped the body with bedding and tied it up with ropes...

Lu Junyi watched Yan Qing busying around, and he calmed down a bit. It was really hard to deal with two lives in front of him...

Report to the police? In this case, it is not impossible to report to the police. It is not a serious crime. Even if you use some money to gain favors and face, it is not that difficult to get rid of the crime.

But if this was reported to the authorities, Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi would become the topic of conversation for everyone in Daming Prefecture, and even the topic of conversation for the entire Jianghu...

It would be troublesome not to report it to the police. For one thing, it would be difficult to deal with the body. And it would be even more difficult to explain that two important people in the family had disappeared.

If a case is discovered afterwards, even the evidence of catching the couple in bed will be gone, and a murder case will be even more troublesome.

Thinking that there might be a case later, Lu Junyi asked, "Xiao Yi, who else knows about this?"

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No one knows."

"You found it?" Lu Junyi asked again. He was very cautious. He didn't necessarily suspect anything, but he wanted to know if anyone else knew about it. He said, "I didn't suspect anything. You hang out outside day and night, hanging out in brothels and taverns. How could I suspect anything?"

Lu Junyi wanted to ask Yan Qing about the details and reasons for his suspicion. To the extent that he suddenly came home to inquire about the matter while drinking, it was no longer just suspicion. It was as if he knew the truth but had not yet discovered it in the act.

Yan Qing was stunned again, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Even if he wanted to make a reasonable answer, he should at least make one up.

"It seems that someone really knows about this?" Lu Junyi frowned.

"Alas..." Yan Qing was helpless. Today's incident happened so suddenly. Suddenly, it was Su Dujian who came to talk about this matter. He was just angry. First, he was angry that Su Dujian talked about these things nonsense, then he was angry that the adulterer and the adulteress had no shame, and then he was angry that they killed people on the spot...

"Speak!" Lu Junyi slammed the table.

"Eunuch Su, it's Eunuch Su..." Yan Qing answered, his hands still moving, still tying the bedding.

"Why does he know more than you and me?" Lu Junyi asked.

"Master, I don't know either... He just suddenly told me this and said that this matter was only between him and me. If it is true, don't tell him and just assume that he doesn't know. If it is false, he should just apologize to me..." Yan Qing told the truth.

After hearing this, Lu Junyi looked much better. He sighed again, looked around at the mess in the room, and said, "It seems that Su Dujian is also concerned about my face. In that case, you can go and invite Su Dujian back. Tell him that I... have a persistent abdominal pain and the pain is unbearable. I'm going home to wait for a doctor. It's already night, so please don't refuse the room I've arranged for you at home, Su Dujian and Master Luan."

"Oh, okay!" Yan Qing nodded.

Lu Junyi then said, "I'll wait for you in the front yard, come back quickly."

Yan Qing also asked: "What about here?"

"No need to rush to clean up..." Lu Junyi stood up, waved his hand, and took out a set of clean clothes from the cabinet beside him. He also reminded: "You should also change clothes and wash your hands and feet."

"I know." Yan Qing nodded.

When Yan Qing appeared in Deyue Tower again, Su Wu only took a look at the clothes Yan Qing had changed and guessed something in his mind, fearing that he had really killed someone.

In this era, if a family has a little dignity, adultery will result in death!
This has been the case since ancient times! But one day it will change...

Yan Qing greeted them several times and then went out again. It was obvious that he was going to tell the girls something, or perhaps to comfort them with a few words.

Then he went back to the house, bowed and said, "My master is in severe abdominal pain, and the pain is unbearable. I am going home to wait for the doctor. Please forgive me, both eunuchs!"

Suo Chao, who was drunk, heard this and said, "It seems that you and your servant really had stomach upset today!"

Yan Qing smiled awkwardly, then went to see Su Wu and said, "The master said it's getting late today and the family has prepared a room for him. Please don't refuse, Su Dujian!"

Su Wu thought about it and nodded: "Okay..."

Suo Chao had already stood up: "It's really unfortunate that we met today, so we'll have to meet again tomorrow. Brother, tomorrow I'll treat you, and we'll have a drink again."

"Okay..." Su Wu nodded and stood up. He could also see some anxiety on Yan Qing's face.

"Then go away. I'll go home." Suo Chao was also a little drunk and walked straight out.

Su Wu and Luan Tingyu followed Yan Qing home, and Yan Qing did not say a word on the way.

Su Wu didn't ask either.

The house was carefully prepared, which showed that the Lu family often had visitors, many heroes from the martial arts world came here to visit, and there were even business clients.

Yan Qing first settled the two of them in the house, and then said to Su Wu: "The master is waiting for the eunuch in the hall..."

Su Wu stood up, and Luan Tingyu also stood up. Su Wu said, "Master Luan, go to bed early."

I also know that in this kind of situation, there is no need to add one more person, as the host's face must be saved.

As soon as they entered the main hall of the front yard, Lu Junyi changed his clothes, stood up and bowed: "Master...thank you!"

Lu Junyi looked unhappy, but he still thanked her.

Without waiting for Lu Junyi to ask, Su Wu just said what he had prepared: "When I first entered the city, I ran into your housekeeper in a tavern on the street. I didn't know him at the time, but I saw him bragging to someone beside me. I heard a few words, and he was talking about some dirty things... I looked at him a few more times, and I didn't expect to see him again in the man's house... So... Alas... I didn't expect it to be true!"

Lu Junyi's heart tightened, and he immediately asked, "Do you know who he is bragging to?"

Su Wu shook his head: "I don't know him, but his accent doesn't sound like a northerner. He must be a southerner. He looks like a merchant."

Su Wu's excuse was not actually good, but he had no choice. As long as it was reasonable, it would be fine since Li Gu was dead and could not be exposed.

Lu Junyi felt a little relieved. The southern merchants were okay. After all, they were far away and would leave soon. Even if they said a few nonsense words, others would not dare to believe them or spread them.

"Thank you again, Governor, for speaking frankly about this matter." Lu Junyi bowed again.

"I also know about this matter. I don't know whether it is true or not. But seeing that the official is so generous to others, I can't help but feel sorry for him. After drinking, I feel even more uneasy. I have no choice but to come up with this bad idea with Xiao Yi. I am also afraid that it is false, so I just told Xiao Yi. If it is true or not, let Xiao Yi blame me..." Su Wu tried his best to take care of Lu Junyi's emotions.

"The governor really has good intentions!" Lu Junyi sighed and bowed again.

"It is also because he treats people with sincerity..." Su Wu replied.

"Alas..." Lu Junyi sighed, and then said: "In this way, two lives are in our hands!"

Yan Qing added: "The governor is so sincere in his treatment of others that he would rather suffer injustice than not find out the truth of this matter. I was rude to the governor just now. I am ashamed. I hope the governor will forgive me!"

As he spoke, Yan Qing actually knelt down and bowed.

Su Wu also stood up and went to help him: "It's okay, it's okay. Who wouldn't be angry when hearing such a thing?"

Yan Qing was even more embarrassed: "It's because I was drunk and didn't have much wisdom. The governor is such a person, how could he say such nonsense on such a matter..."

"Xiao Yi, there is really no need to be like this." Su Wu waved his hand and treated others sincerely.

But Yan Qing said, "It's hard to get rid of two lives now. The chief eunuch is so meticulous in his planning and actions. My master invited the chief eunuch here probably to ask him for some advice."

This was true, and Lu Junyi nodded: "Du Jian..."

How could Su Wu not have an idea? But he still had to think about it before asking: "Where are those two people from?"

"This adulterer and adulteress..." Lu Junyi gritted his teeth and continued, "Both of them are from Daming Prefecture. The adulterer is from Wei County, and the adulteress's family is outside the city..."

Su Wu nodded and continued, "Let's do this. Tomorrow morning, Xiao Yi will prepare the carriage at home. When no one is around, put the two bodies in the carriage and drive the carriage to a remote place. I will take over the carriage and leave the city. Xiao Yi will come back early and say that the wife and the housekeeper went out of the city to visit relatives and will be back in the evening. When it is evening, the official will send people out of the city to search everywhere. If they can't find them, they will report to the authorities and just say that the wife and the housekeeper have not returned from visiting relatives..."

"Then what?" Lu Junyi asked again immediately.

"After a day or two, the family received a ransom letter from the kidnappers, who demanded 10,000 strings of cash and then reported it to the authorities. A few days later, I was fighting bandits in Dongping Prefecture, killing several of the kidnappers and unexpectedly found two bodies of hostages. That's how the case was solved."

After Su Wu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Junyi. This plan had both substance and appearance, and was also reasonable and legal.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Junyi nodded repeatedly. This idea was really good. This eunuch was really extraordinary. He felt relieved. But he asked again: "How can the eunuch leave the city with two corpses? What if..."

Su Wu replied: "It depends on which city gate Brother Suo Chao's troops will be on duty tomorrow. His generals and soldiers will recognize me, so it doesn't matter."

Yan Qing also said: "The governor is really smart! I'm sorry for what I did before, please forgive me!"

Yan Qing was about to pay his respects again, and Su Wu stood up to help him.

Seeing Lu Junyi also stood up and bowed, Su Wu also went to help him, and helped this one and that one, saying: "No need to do this, you are a man of great integrity and have a great reputation. This time we are meeting in person, and we feel like old friends. It's no problem to help you with such a small matter!"

Su Wu also had selfish motives, and the kidnappers must have come from Liangshan.

Even so, Lu Junyi and Liangshan had a deep hatred on the surface. Although it was only a superficial hatred, it was enough as long as it reached the ears of people in the martial arts world.

In this case, Lu Junyi would not be so careless and self-righteous as to challenge the entire Liangshan gang alone for no reason.

Even later on, people like Song Jiang and Wu Yong had to find ways to explain to Lu Junyi that the kidnappers were not from Liangshan. How could they explain such a thing clearly to all the people in Shandong and Hebei?

This is Su Wu's chain of strategies.

Lu Junyi did not bow down, but he still bowed slightly, saying, "The governor has done this out of righteousness. I will remember this favor in my heart. I will personally deliver the four hundred pieces of horsetail to Dongping Prefecture within a month. I will give them to the governor without asking for money!"

Su Wu just said: "No, this is a long-term business, and I will not let you lose your fortune."

"I said I would send it!" Lu Junyi waved his hand.

Su Wu smiled and said, "I said give money, so give money."

"This..." Lu Junyi was stunned, and was also puzzled. Who would not want such a great benefit? Why did this Su Dujian not want it?
"Sir, we are friends and can open our hearts to each other, just like me and that Suo Dujian, we have similar interests. If you only care about money, wouldn't you be laughed at?"

Su Wu had his own way of dealing with these people who could truly be called heroes.

Lu Junyi thought about it and said, "If that's the case, if the governor doesn't give up, I'd like to be the first to kowtow to the heavens out of loyalty to the governor!"

"That's exactly what I want!" How could Su Wu be so pretentious?
Lu Junyi raised his hand and said, "Please!"

After saying that, Lu Junyi turned to the north and knelt down.

Su Wu naturally knelt aside!
Lu Junyi said: "Today is a rush, but the friendship is not diminished. I, Lu Junyi, rarely receive great favors from others. Today, I have received great favors from you. I have a sense of brotherhood in my heart. I cannot repay you. I am willing to bow down three times with you. From now on, we will not deceive the heavens above or the earth below. We will advance and retreat together and depend on each other for life and death! If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

After saying this, Lu Junyi kowtowed and stepped down.

Su Wu also wanted to say something: "I have sworn brotherhood with Mr. Lu today because Mr. Lu is a man of noble character, affectionate and righteous. We will stand together and live and die together. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

After saying this, he also kowtowed.

The two bowed three times, and this time Su Wu spoke first: "Hello, brother!"

Lu Junyi immediately waved his hand: "Of course..."

"Brother is several years older than me, so don't refuse." Su Wu said first. He didn't care about these things in his heart. This matter was not important. What he wanted now between him and Lu Junyi was this sincere affection. The other person was several years older than him, so there was no need for him to be the eldest brother.

"Then I am being too confident, brother!" Lu Junyi answered, and they supported each other.

Yan Qing, standing aside, looked less gloomy and smiled happily: "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, this kind of brotherhood is really comforting!"

Su Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, this matter cannot be made public yet. I will tell others about this oath of brotherhood only after I have solved the case. This will be reasonable and logical."

Yan Qing nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know..."

Lu Junyi turned around and said to Yan Qing: "From now on, you should call the supervisor...uncle!"

Yan Qing didn't hesitate and just bowed: "Greetings, uncle!"

Su Wu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and felt a little strange. He just bowed his hands and smiled, and asked: "Since he is my uncle, then could it be that my brother is my foster father?"

Lu Junyi glanced at Yan Qing, thinking about the care he had shown him over the years, and how caring Yan Qing was around him, and also thinking about today...

Lu Junyi only asked: "Xiao Yi, are you willing?"

Yan Qing was not reluctant at all, he was filled with joy and knelt down, "My son greets his foster father!"

Su Wu nodded: "That's great, Xiao Yi is really lovable, everyone is happy."

It was originally a gloomy event, but at this moment, all three of them had smiling faces.

Yan Qing also said: "Then I will go to the backyard and clean up quickly..."

Su Wu also said, "Since I have to leave the city tomorrow, it is not too late now. I should go and say goodbye to Brother Suo Chao first, so that he will not think that I am unhappy when he sees me leaving suddenly tomorrow."

(Brothers, there is still one chapter left, for the first leader. I feel a little tired, so I will take a rest first and come back in the evening!)
