Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 26: Hua Manlou is forced to live up to his name, Lu Xiaofeng

"This...Brother Lu, I have no choice."

"You had no choice? How did you say you had no choice?"

"I also want to see how you, Brother Lu, dig earthworms. This thought arose in my mind and I couldn't hold it back any longer. I really had no choice!"

"Okay, okay, are you forced to do this?" Lu Xiaofeng was furious.

I couldn't help but reflect on why I became friends with these two guys?
One wants to dig a hole for himself.

One cooperates to pit himself.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "In that case, do you want to compete?"

"No comparison!"

Lu Xiaofeng said firmly: "Lao Hua may help you to trick me, but he will never harm me. The poison you used must not be something dangerous and toxic! Therefore, I will not compete."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "That's right, it's not some dangerous poison. This poison is called 'Red Haired Monster Poison'. After being poisoned, you can do anything except drink alcohol!

Once you drink, the toxins will take effect and your body will turn red. The more you drink, the wider the spread. Even your hair will turn red, and it will also promote the growth of hair all over your body. In the end, you will become a monster covered in red hair!

Figure

"Once infected with this poison, without an antidote, it can last for half a year!"

"So what?" Lu Xiaofeng said stubbornly, "At worst, I won't drink for half a year!"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Do you know that on April 19th of this year, there will be a major event. It's the centenary of Master Zhang on Wudang Mountain. The imperial court has already agreed with Wudang Mountain to invite heroes from all sects and schools across the world to celebrate together. It's going to be a grand celebration!"

At that time, all the heroes in the world will raise their glasses together, but there will be only one person who cannot even touch the wine. Who do you think this person is? Lu Xiaofeng?

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Zhou Ming continued, "Of course, you can choose not to go. However, Master Zhang's centennial celebration is a one-time event, and there will be no subsequent grand occasions. Given Master Zhang's prestige, all the nations and factions in the world will send people to congratulate him. When the time comes, all the heroes will be there, except for one person who can't go. Who do you think it is? Lu Xiaofeng?"

"You! You're so vicious!"

Lu Xiaofeng's face twisted. "In my entire life, I, Lu Xiaofeng, have never seen such a... vicious person!"

"Hey! You saw it today!"

"In that case... I'll compete!"

"Alright! The case is over. Regardless of the outcome, the antidote will be delivered."

The three of them decided on this matter.

Suddenly, a servant came and said that Jiang Long, the golden-robed captain of the Six Gates, and Luo Ma came to pay a visit.

Zhou Ming and the other two came to the front hall and met the two men.

"You two are here, are you still looking for our cooperation regarding the previous case?"

"This……"

Jiang Long looked around, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Hua, to be honest, the only clue in this case is Zhu Ting, but Zhu Ting is keeping his mouth shut and insists on meeting Lu Xiaofeng before he is willing to reveal the clue.

We both heard that Lu Xiaofeng is here right now, so we came here."

"I see."

Zhou Ming said, "It seems we have the same idea. This case has little to do with me, but it is very closely related to Hua Manlou. That's why I specifically asked Lu Xiaofeng for help to find some clues from the Jianghu. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing."

Jiang Long smiled and said, "What a coincidence! May I ask if Master Lu agrees to help?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "This matter is of great importance, so I am naturally willing to do my best to help."

"In that case, please ask Mr. Lu to go with us to the Heavenly Prison to meet Zhu Ting."

"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

Zhou Ming said, "Captain Jiang, Captain Luo, Mr. Hua and I would like to come together, is that possible?"

"This..." Jiang Long didn't dare to refuse. He rolled his eyes and thought of an excuse: "You two are both related to this case, so of course you can. Please!"

Everyone then came to the Six Gates and entered the prison.

Although Zhu Ting was a suspect, he did not suffer any hardship in prison because he had Zhou Ming's protection.

"Zhu Ting, we've found the Lu Xiaofeng you're looking for!"

Jiang Long said: "If you have any clues, tell me."

"Lu Xiaofeng!"

Zhu Tingxi said happily: "You are finally here, you must help me this time!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you!"

The two grew up together as friends, so it goes without saying that they have a deep friendship.

Zhu Ting greeted Zhou Ming and Hua Manlou again, and then began to speak: "In fact, although our Luban Divine Axe Sect is small in number, we have another disciple besides me, and that is my senior brother, Yue Qing!

Senior Brother's skills are on par with mine, and he is also very familiar with the secret language and techniques of the sect."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "So, your senior brother is very suspicious?"

Jiang Long turned to look at Luo Ma: "Yue Qing... I remember..."

Luo Ma nodded. "This man died of the plague seven years ago. All those who died of the plague were cremated, and their ashes are now enshrined in the Yunjian Temple outside the city. I was involved in this case and I remember this man."

It is impossible for a dead person to do such a thing.

Could it be that Zhu Ting wanted to confuse the public by bringing this person up at this time?
Zhu Ting said, "I know about this, but my senior brother also has a daughter who has also inherited his craft."

"What? Where is this person?" Jiang Long asked anxiously.

"This... please leave. I will only talk to Lu Xiaofeng about this."

"You!" Luo Ma's face was full of anger. "What do you mean?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Ting turned around.

Luo Ma became even angrier, and Jiang Long quickly held Luo Ma down and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Everyone left the cell, leaving only two people.

After waiting for a while, Lu Xiaofeng came out in a nonchalant manner.

Jiang Longluoma came over and asked, "What's going on? Where is the woman Zhu Ting mentioned?"

Lu Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, "He and Brother haven't seen each other for many years, and Yue Qing died seven years ago. How could he know where Yue Qing's daughter is now? However, he did tell me how to find her."

"How to find it?"

"Everyone from the Luban Divine Axe Sect has a divine axe tattoo on their body. Yue Qing's daughter has one too, but it's more hidden... on her chest."

"In the chest? How do I find it?"

Jiang Long frowned when he heard this.

Men and women should be strictly protected from each other, and this is not just talk. Not to mention the chest, even the arms cannot be seen except in certain specific places or by one's wives and concubines.

How can I find it if I can’t even see it?
Lu Xiaofeng said frivolously: "It is naturally impossible to find someone like you two, but if someone is as handsome and dashing as me, Lu Xiaofeng, and a romantic wanderer, then if I want to find someone... hehe!"

Jiang Longluoma's face turned dark.

"By the way, do you have any fake banknotes? Give me some for the investigation!"

Jiang Long hesitated for a moment, but still asked his constables to hand over the confiscated counterfeit banknotes.

Lu Xiaofeng grabbed a handful and walked away.

Zhou Ming and Hua Manlou also left Liushenmen together.

"This……"

Jiang Long said: "Old buddy, did we find the wrong person this time?"

Luo Ma nodded: "Lu Xiaofeng's name is so famous, but I didn't expect that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person. When I actually met him, this Lu Xiaofeng was so frivolous and dissolute... Alas!"

As he spoke, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

As the mastermind behind this fake banknote, he naturally hoped that the investigators were as dumb as possible, and would be completely led by him.

Lu Xiaofeng has become famous all over the world recently. When Luo Ma was asked to help with the investigation, he was very reluctant.

But Zhu Ting only recognized Lu Xiaofeng, and the God of Capture set a deadline, forcing Jiang Long to seek help from all directions.

In this case, Lockheed Martin had no choice but to agree.

I didn't expect that Lu Xiaofeng was not worthy of his reputation and was actually such a person.

Having said that, Roma also knew that silver bills were related to the national economy and the court would never condone them.

If they fail to investigate clearly, then naturally there will be Chief Constable Jin Jiuling, the Four Famous Constables, the Dali Temple, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the East Factory, the Huolong Villa... countless masters may be sent to investigate.

Therefore, his plan still has to go on, and he must resolve this matter as soon as possible according to his own ideas!
