Chapter 24 - Incident II

Almost every morning when he gets up, Lu Sheng can feel his muscles getting stronger and heavier.

　　The price is that every meal he is at least twice as big as before, and also all big fish and meat, and daily expensive medicinal soup.

　　Just this eating expenses, is enough to make the average family bankrupt.

　　Lu Sheng did not delay, all the way into the city, lightly arrived at the door of the Lu House.

　　As soon as the concierge at the door saw him, he immediately welcomed him.

　　"Grand Duke is back!"

　　"En." Lu Sheng casually answered and walked into the mansion with big steps.

　　The atmosphere inside the government was a bit strange.

　　But when the subordinates and household servants who passed by saw that he had returned, they all came over to greet him.

　　"Grand Duke is back!!!"

　　Someone shouted up.

　　"Grand Duke! The Grand Duke is back!!!"

　　"It's the Grand Duke!"

　　One by one, the household servants and maids ran out. All of them had a hint of surprise on their faces, like people who were at sixes and sevens suddenly found a life-saving straw.

　　"Where's father?"

　　"The family head told you to go over immediately."

　　A servant girl ran over and hurriedly answered.

　　"En."

　　Lu Sheng took off his sword and put it on his back.

　　All the way towards the inner courtyard.

　　The inner courtyard was quiet, a little oddly quiet, even a little cold.

　　Some maids were in bad spirits, and those who were close by greeted him.

　　The ones who were far away did not see it, and were still talking and chatting among themselves.

　　There were voices drifting over with the wind from afar.

　　"Last night, Yu sister room again appeared that woman crying ...."

　　"I also heard, like a very far away from the place, there are family members passing by, but simply did not see people in the room, not even a shadow..."

　　"Ouch stop it, it's really scary."

　　"Could it be some kind of female ghost?"

　　"Don't chew your words! Be careful of being beaten."

　　When Lu Sheng passed by the stone bridge with his sword on his back, he heard the family's servants gossiping and talking.

　　From these people's chatter, the lotus room in the backyard, where Sister Yu was, had become the biggest restricted area of the Lu Mansion.

　　No one needs to be reminded, and no one dares to go near it at all.

　　He fell silent, combined with the contents of the letter, and suddenly his mood became even heavier.

　　Finally, what he had been worried about happened.

　　This world was originally full of crises everywhere. For all kinds of bizarre things. Ordinary people simply have no power to resist.

　　What he had been worried about was that one day when everything that had happened to the Xu family suddenly came to the Lu House.

　　At that time, he took what to block, take what to save themselves.

　　What to save the family in this life?

　　"Female ghosts? I want to see, what female ghost can block my sword!" A fierce light under the eyes, Lu Sheng's heart hostility together, striding towards the inner courtyard lobby.

　　He has accumulated so long, is not this moment for now?

　　The first time he walked into the inner courtyard lobby, Lu Sheng saw the haggard-looking Lu Quan'an sitting on the main seat, and he was surrounded by the hastily arrived Erniang Sanniang and other people.

　　The rest of the younger siblings, cousins are all present.

　　The whole family came together for the first time in a time that was not a holiday.

　　The people saw Lu Sheng carrying a sword, sturdy figure into the door.

　　Lu Quanan's face also showed a trace of joy. But immediately showed a trace of worry again.

　　"Xiao Sheng, you ..... Alas, you should not have come back..."

　　"Father, tell me, what happened? Sister Yu died?"

　　Lu Sheng also no nonsense, straight to the point.

　　He recently practiced his sword daily, plus the Black Fury Qi circulating flow, there is still a trace of fierce aura left in his body.

　　The people saw this, then remembered that Brother Sheng had killed two vicious wanted criminals, this is a vicious role to kill murderers.

　　So think, everyone originally some panic mood, suddenly slightly relieved.

　　"It's better for me to tell you." Second mother Liu Cuiyu sighed.

　　Lu Sheng found a seat on the right side and sat down.

　　"Erniang, please speak."

　　Liu Cuiyu thought for a moment and organized her thoughts.

　　"This matter, we still have to start with the sudden death of Sister Yu a while ago."

　　She sighed again.

　　"That day, someone from Sister Yu's family came to ask me if Sister Yu had returned or not, and I said I had returned.

　　That person then said that the family has not been able to wait for people, which came to the house to look for people."

　　"I was also puzzled, about to send people out to find, immediately received the news from the court, sister Yu died in an alley, has been several days, the body are hard."

　　"Later, I will pay for the money, is considered to give sister Yu mourning silver.

　　But only two days after this, there was another person missing from the house. I sent people out to look, and in another river outside the city, found the body."

　　Liu Cuiyu said here, his face is full of sadness.

　　"From that day on, the house daily missing one person. How to check but can not be found! Now it's the fifth day.

　　And every night, Sister Yu used to live in the lotus room will come out of the sound of a woman's cry, if there is nothing, go in to look for, and can not find people.

　　That room was originally lived in five people, and now three of these five people have disappeared ....."

　　Lu Sheng heard here, his face has been low.

　　"What did the people of the government say?"

　　"How else can say? Nothing was found, and then casually found an excuse to shirk away."

　　Lu Chenxin couldn't help but interject, his tone was full of indignation.

　　"I asked your uncle to send soldiers to guard the night, but it's still useless, when there are many people, the sound does not appear, and only when there are fewer people can hear." Lu Quanan shook his head and said.

　　"Where is gently?" Lu Sheng suddenly found that Lu Qingliang was actually not there.

　　"She ran off to the Zheng family alone. Something happened at the Zheng family's side too." Lu Quan'an said helplessly.

　　"Something happened to the Zheng family too?"

　　Lu Sheng's heart tightened.

　　"But not our kind of thing, but encountered robbers, halfway robbed their caravan, gently that girl does not know where to get the clues, suspected that the robbers and Xu family tragedy related, yesterday went out to investigate, and still have not returned."

　　Second mother Liu Cuiyu back.

　　Lu Sheng gave a cold hum.

　　"This girl, more and more disobedient.

　　In addition, this matter in the House even if it is not any female ghost, a kung fu master who is good at lightning can do such a thing!

　　Where is Uncle Zhao? What did he say?"

　　"Your uncle Zhao and several uncles were drafted to the government, to a place outside the city to help. Speaking of which, they haven't returned yet." Lu Quanan replied.

　　"In other words, that person took advantage of Uncle Zhao's and their absence to dare to come to the house and pretend to be a god?"

　　As soon as Lu Sheng opened his mouth, he characterized this as man-made and not some demon or devil.

　　Whether or not the matter is the work of demons and monsters, it can only be man-made!

　　Otherwise, the large Lu family is afraid to fall apart.

　　Lu Quanan also immediately understood this reasoning, nodding in response.

　　"In that case, it does seem very artificial..."

　　"Sister Yu's lotus room has women crying at night, right? I'm going to stay in that room tonight. See if anyone else is missing."

　　Lu Sheng opened his mouth to set the arrangement.

　　"But Xiao Sheng ...."

　　Lu Quan'an still wanted to say something, was Lu Sheng raised his hand to stop.

　　"Father, don't worry, I know what's in my heart."

　　Lu Sheng calmly said.

　　Whether the other party is a ghost or a human, since it is afraid of people, it can always find a way to solve.

　　If even such a small hurdle in front of you can not pass, then in case you encounter the Xu family kind of one word a night to destroy the whole family of ruthless characters, will not only be at the mercy of others?

　　"Xiao Sheng ..... Must be careful ah ...."

　　Liu Cuiyu worried.

　　The rest of the people are a look of relief.

　　Since Sheng, who killed the most wanted criminal, said it was man-made, it is likely to be man-made.

　　With Brother Sheng in, I believe that the miscreant will be caught.

　　After the meeting, Lu Chenxin, Lu Tianyang, Lu Yingying and others spread the news as soon as possible.

　　Soon, in the evening, all the people in the Lu Mansion knew that the Grand Duke Lu Sheng had returned, and he judged that the matter was artificial!

　　Tonight also decided to go to the lotus room vigil.

　　This news came out, and immediately the entire residence up and down the fierce sigh of relief.

　　These days, the House of Lu is too tense. Like a taut string, it may break at any time.

　　For a while the group felt a lot safer in their hearts.

　　Although the crisis has not been lifted, but before the kind of panic atmosphere, also eased a lot.

　　At least there is the Grand Duke Lu Sheng in the way, personally staying in the lotus room. Something must also first have the Grand Duke blocked in front.

　　Detailed inquiry clearly before and after the event process, Lu Sheng immediately asked people to organize the Lotus Room bed furnishings and so on, he will live in tonight.

　　The rest of the people persuaded him for a while, see he did not waver, also can only give up.

　　Lu Sheng let small back to his original bedroom, he alone with a knife, with a jar of medicinal tea and then into the lotus room.

　　The lotus room, the lotus leaf room, the lotus root room, all three are places for the house maids and servants to live. They are next to each other.

　　Among them, the lotus room is located in the center.

　　Lu Sheng carried a knife to the lotus room, both sides of the courtyard are empty. Obviously, the midnight cries scared away.

　　He pushed open the door, which was cleaned, and the bed was set up.

　　The food box was placed on the stone table in the small courtyard.

　　Other than that, there was no one inside.

　　There are also some pink traces on the gray stone table, seems to be a woman with the powder spilled on the left.

　　Lu Sheng looked at the bedroom.

　　Bedroom and courtyard like two connected square box, bedroom is divided into five single rooms, side by side, the door is a corridor, the corridor outside the door is a small courtyard, the courtyard has a well, stone table and stone bench on the side of the well.

　　Lu Sheng sat by the well, open the dark red food box, the inside of the small dishes stacked out, set the stone table a table.

　　Three dishes and one soup.

　　Plus steaming white rice.

　　Lu Sheng took chopsticks and ate in big bites.

　　A meal ate close to half an hour. He Iang rice all swept away, only then stopped and burped.

　　The day is getting late, Lu Sheng himself lit candles and lanterns to light up the small courtyard and Sister Yu's bedroom.

　　The five bedrooms are displayed side by side, Sister Yu's room is at the innermost, the light is very shady, and the sound from outside comes here, and is very small.

　　Lu Sheng ate and walked across the corridor with a knife, then entered the room.

　　The room was furnished with a dark wooden bed, a four-square table, three chairs.

　　In addition, there is a closet, a dresser.

　　Behind the dresser is the window, the wooden window is half open, revealing the dark alley outside.

　　Candle light from the right hand side of the desk down the door, the room will be mostly illuminated, but in contrast to the half-open wooden window more dark.

　　Lu Sheng walked over and looked out of the window.

　　The wooden window outside the alley, just facing a side door of the Lu House.

　　Looking out of the window, you can clearly see a straight alley leading to a somewhat desolate white side door.
