Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 17 It’s your own fault
Lu Zheng's righteous literary treasure is not only effective against demons and monsters, but can also be used to trigger any evil people with bad intentions who break into the house.

He had just inquired about the news from Li Yuan today, asking whether there had been any ghost incidents or demonic attacks in the city recently. Li Yuan said there had been no such cases.

Lu Zheng only thought that Zhu Sha came from outside the city and had been scared away by him and dared not come again.

But now something like this has happened again. It seems that Kaiyang County is full of filth and is not as peaceful as it seems.

Lu Zheng had a gloomy face, thinking about telling Li Yuan what happened tonight.

Whether it was a demon or a human, it was obviously aimed at him, and it was even worse than the previous incident with the female ghost.

After all, he was not famous at that time. He was just an ordinary student and no one cared if he died.

Now he has become a scholar of heaven and earth, and even the county magistrate treats him like his nephew, but there are still people who are secretly thinking about him.

Those who come have bad intentions and their hearts deserve to be punished.

When Lu Zheng decided to leave, he asked someone to deliver a letter to Li Yuan.

If something like this happened, Li Yuan would definitely ask him to stay in the city and cooperate with the investigation on the grounds of protecting his personal safety.

The visitor tonight must have been hiding after being attacked by Wen Bao. It would be difficult or even impossible to find him in a short time.

Instead of wasting time in the county town, it is better to go out and become stronger.

Once you become strong, will you still be afraid of those villains secretly causing trouble?
Therefore, Lu Zheng thought about waiting until he left the county before telling Li Yuan about this matter.

……

Su Mei covered her head and stumbled all the way back to Mingyue Tower, and came to Zhusha's room quietly.

"Ouch, sister, it hurts so much, please give me some medicine." Su Mei cried out.

Zhu Sha was sitting at the desk reading a book. When he saw Su Mei coming over, he glanced sideways and frowned, "What did you do?"

"What did I do? I went to Mr. Lu's house. Oh, his house was covered with countless treasures. I was caught as soon as I walked in! It hurt me to death!" Su Mei said angrily, "I thought those things must be used to protect me from you, but I ended up getting hurt! Oh, my face..."

Su Mei's tone was resentful. She hurriedly sat down beside the dressing table and checked her injuries.

In the mirror, her delicate and pretty face was no longer there.

Now her facial features are distorted and wrinkled, making her face look hideous and terrifying.

Su Mei reached out and grabbed the face and tore it, actually tearing off a piece of human skin and putting it aside.

Beneath the skin, there is another delicate face.

On the smooth and white forehead, there was a bruise the size of a pigeon egg.

It was obviously caused by the righteous attack just now.

Su Mei took out the ointment and applied it gently, and then used her magic power, but she was unable to remove the bruise on her forehead.

She now felt dizzy and had a dull headache.

Su Mei gasped in pain as she applied the medicine. "What kind of writing is this? How can it be so powerful? Could it be the handwriting of the county magistrate? Ouch, it hurts so much..."

She never expected that Wen Bao in Lu Zheng's house would be so powerful. Just one blow could cause her such great damage.

Fortunately, she was careful enough at that time and did not fly into the room all of a sudden, otherwise Wen Bao's counterattack would have been more powerful.

Zhu Sha sneered, "You're asking for trouble. You knew his current identity, yet you still dared to go over there... Did he discover you?"

Su Mei said, "He didn't see me, but I screamed and he heard me." Zhu Sha was furious when she heard this, "How dare you come back here after you've been discovered? Just die and don't implicate me."

She had previously advised Su Mei not to provoke the other party, but not only did she not listen, but she caused such a disaster. She was really stupid.

Su Mei quickly said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. No one followed me, and I didn't leave any traces! Sister, what I said is true. I just want to get more Yang energy so that we can escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible..."

Su Mei felt a little aggrieved and was about to cry.

"You did something wrong, and yet you feel wronged!" Zhusha raised her eyebrows.

Upon hearing this, Su Mei stood there in fear, not daring to speak. She carefully applied the medicine on herself, moaning softly in pain.

Zhu Sha sighed, slowly put down the book, came behind Su Mei, and said lightly: "Bear with the pain."

As he spoke, Zhu Sha stretched out a white palm and pressed it on Su Mei's forehead. The Yin energy in his body slowly flowed out, and then he rubbed the bruise on Su Mei's forehead hard.

"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle! It hurts so much..." Su Mei burst into tears in pain.

Her tearful eyes made her look pitiful, but it was a pity that she was just a goblin after all.

Zhu Sha said coldly, "Can it be removed gently? Do you want to go out and see people with a bump on your head? Or stay indoors for the next few days? If the authorities come to investigate, where can you hide? By then, you will have no more skin to peel off. This is to teach you a lesson!"

Su Mei's delicate body trembled with pain, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "You really don't know how to feel sorry for others."

Zhu Sha sneered, "I'm not a human, and neither are you."

……

The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

Lu Zheng observed the outside and after making sure that he was not being monitored, he quietly left through the back door of the house carrying a bookcase.

He first went to a nearby market to buy some things, and then asked someone to send a letter to the county government.

When he left Kaiyang County, the letter also reached Li Yuan's hands.

Li Yuan happened to be at the county government office, and was a little surprised to see Lu Zheng's letter.

"Why are you writing to me? Is it a farewell letter?"

Li Yuan curiously opened it and found that the first part was about him saying goodbye to study abroad, but the latter part...

Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed and became gloomy.

Unexpectedly, a villain broke into Lu Zheng's house at night and triggered Wen Bao.

Someone actually had evil intentions towards the person that Li Yuan valued!
"Come here, call the county lieutenant over!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Yuan slammed the table and stood up in anger.

The officers below were confused and thought that some major crime had occurred, so they hurried to call the county lieutenant.

Li Yuan brought the county lieutenant and several county constables to Lu Zheng's residence.

When they arrived at the back door of the house, Li Yuan found that Lu Zheng had indeed left the door open, so he and the county lieutenant went into the house to check the situation.

Li Yuan came to the front yard and saw many cultural relics posted around the house, especially outside the main house, where there was a ten-character cultural relic.

Huh? Heaven and earth have righteousness, and there are five more words after that? Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lu Zheng was good at literature. This piece of literature is better than the one he gave him. It would be a bit of a waste to just put it outside to protect the house!
This is not the point... Li Yuan shook his head and hurriedly checked for clues in the front yard with the county lieutenant.
