Chapter 25 Vigil I

Creak...

　　Lu Sheng closed the wooden window and looked back at the room.

　　He took off his jacket and put it on the wooden rack of clothes behind the door.

　　Then opened the closet, which is a few gray puffs of women's clothing worn by Sister Yu. Close the cabinet door, Lu Sheng went to look at the dresser again.

　　Simple dressing table on what pattern there is no, is a copper mirror in the very center.

　　A little bit of pink powder was sprinkled in front of the copper mirror, Lu Sheng reached its dip and got his nose in front of the smell.

　　"Ordinary women with the fragrance powder."

　　Lu Sheng suddenly frowned.

　　"Sister Yu I remember that she is not a person who likes to use fragrant powder."

　　Hoo ....

　　Suddenly a cold wind blew, the candle light swayed all at once.

　　Lu Sheng quickly held the knife and looked around the whole room in a circle.

　　Giggle.

　　The room door did not close the gap, a flash of white clothing corner.

　　Lu Sheng quickly walked over.

　　"I remember that I clearly came in and closed the door."

　　He touched the wooden bolt, and there was an open padlock on it.

　　He opened the door and walked outside to look in the corridor.

　　The corridor was empty and cold.

　　A stream of cool air kept pouring into the place.

　　Lu Sheng cold words sweep once, did not find any problems.

　　Then went back to the room.

　　Close the door with a click.

　　He went to the table and sat down, the knife was put down and pressed on the table, holding it in his hand.

　　He just sat there, slowly waiting for the so-called woman to cry.

　　The lights were like beans.

　　Time passes slowly.

　　Lu Sheng has jade crane work support, do not feel sleepy at all, sitting at the table in high spirits, waiting for the sound of crying.

　　Wait until later, there is really nothing, he will use his mind to accelerate the Jade Crane Gong operation.

　　Anyway, this nourishing qigong is too stable, even if he wants to switch off, he can't.

　　Time passed unconsciously.

　　Until a clear rooster crowing outside the window, the original darkness outside the window gradually turned into a trace of light white.

　　Lu Sheng was shocked to realize that he had been sitting so all night.

　　"Where is the sound of a woman crying? There was nothing all night."

　　He could also see the light of the faint dawn outside through the window.

　　Carrying the knife, Lu Sheng stood up and moved his body.

　　Open the door and walk out, the corridor also penetrated some light, he came to the courtyard of the lotus room, yesterday's meal dishes are still in place.

　　Outside the courtyard can faintly hear the sound of people talking.

　　Lu Sheng walked over and opened the door with force.

　　Old dad Lu Quan'an, Lu Yingying, Lu Yi Yi, and a host of family members have been waiting outside the door for a long time.

　　Seeing the door open, people have jumped in shock and took a step back.

　　Seeing Lu Sheng, Lu Quan'an hurriedly went forward.

　　"Little Sheng! Is everything okay!?"

　　He was full of concern.

　　Lu Sheng saw that the crowd was still holding torches in their hands, and some guards arrived with sheathed swords in their hands, and his heart was puzzled.

　　"What's wrong? What's wrong?" He asked aloud.

　　Lu Quan'an let out a long sigh.

　　"Last night, another person went missing from the family."

　　"Hmm???"

　　Lu Sheng's eyes opened wide at once.

　　Only then did the second mother, Liu Cuiyu, come forward and tell the story.

　　It turned out that during the time Lu Sheng was on watch, the rest of the people came around and really didn't hear any more women crying.

　　At first everything was still normal, the guards patrol patrol, many people in their own rooms in the house, said to rest, in fact, most of them can not sleep, are waiting for the results.

　　But later, there was something wrong.

　　"Eight Jun he .... He said he had to go to the toilet, did not expect to go and never came back..."

　　A slightly fat woman holding a handkerchief cried and cried.

　　This woman is Lu Sheng's real mother Sun Yan's sister, that is, his sister-in-law, Sun Zining.

　　This time, it was Lu Sheng's cousin Sun Bajun who was missing.

　　Lu Sheng and Sun Bajun is not familiar, the boy likes to gamble, and is lazy type, he is not used to see, from time to time will reprimand him a few words.

　　The kid also does not like him, usually meet are going around the road.

　　I did not expect that this time the missing is actually him.

　　Lu Sheng's brow locked up tightly.

　　"I have not slept all night, sitting in the room to listen to the movement. Did not hear any woman crying."

　　When the people heard it, their hearts were a little cold.

　　"What the hell is going on here!"

　　Young Aunt Sun Zining cried out.

　　"Zining, take it easy for now, there must be a way out." Erniang pulled her over to comfort.

　　"Go to the lobby first, let's discuss the countermeasures."

　　Lu Quanan sighed.

　　The group of people had no choice but to leave the place first.

　　Lu Quan'an called Lu Sheng and the few immediate family members, along with the eldest uncle, all over.

　　The door of the hall room was closed, several people sat on their seats, the atmosphere was dull.

　　The eldest uncle, Lu Anping, was a serious middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a Chinese face.

　　He wore the half-body silver scale armor common in the Great Song Dynasty and carried an accessory scimitar at his waist, sitting beside Lu Quan'an with a grave expression.

　　"The question now is whether the forces of the Yamen should be allowed to intervene." The eldest uncle spoke slowly. "If we still can't find the source, I'm afraid we'll have to use outside forces after that."

　　"Inviting God is easy to send God is difficult ...." Lu Quanan sighed, this is already he did not know how many times in a day sigh.

　　These days his heart is haggard, the whole person is also aging particularly fast.

　　Lu Sheng sat in the lower seat and was silent.

　　Lu Quan'an glanced at his son.

　　"Little Sheng, do you have anything to say? You are the future helmsman of the Lu family, the future of the family business is all yours, the current predicament, how to solve, do you have a clear idea?"

　　Lu Sheng closed his eyes, opened them again, and was about to speak back.

　　"No, no, no!"

　　Suddenly outside the door came a small shout.

　　"Grand Duke! Brother Sheng! The people in the government are trying to run away!"

　　Lu Sheng immediately got up and walked over to open the door with big steps to see Xiao Xiao waiting at the door with a red face.

　　"My lord, one more person from the house is missing, the head guard Wang Chong secretly ran away with some people! I heard the message from my sisters, so I rushed over to inform you."

　　"Ran away?"

　　Lu Sheng's eyes widened.

　　He guessed that there might be a fleeing phenomenon because of the spread of panic, but he didn't expect it to appear so early.

　　"Where is Wang Chong now?"

　　"I don't know, we only found out after they ran away, and now Zhao Fanghu and the others are also gathered in the compound, I'm afraid they are also trying to run away."

　　Xiao Qiao hurriedly said.

　　Zhao Fanghu is also another person who led inside the guards' houseguards.

　　"How many of them are gathered together?"

　　Lu Quanan quickly asked.

　　"Not sure, but there are many people!" Xiao Qiao hurriedly replied.

　　"I'll go check it out!"

　　Lu Sheng's face sank and he took a big step towards the direction of the big yard.

　　Lu Quanan and eldest uncle Lu Anping also followed closely with gloomy faces.

　　Several people quickly arrived at the compound.

　　The courtyard has gathered more than 20 people, mostly guards and family members, and a few maids in.

　　The faces of the people were filled with fear and anxiety.

　　Some people had already packed their luggage in their hands, ready to leave the Lu Mansion.

　　Once they saw that Lu Sheng and the others had arrived, the crowd's originally rowdy atmosphere was slightly quieter.

　　"Who wants to leave?"

　　Lu Sheng walked up to the crowd and asked with a cold face.

　　"We all want to go!"

　　A guard man stood out, and it was Zhao Fanghu, who still had a hint of fear on his face.

　　"Grand Duke, we are also human, we are also life, the Lu family's current trouble is not at all man-made, but the female ghost!"

　　His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of fear.

　　"Ridiculous!"

　　Lu Sheng violently interrupted him, his voice stern.

　　"Who gave you the guts to demonize people!"

　　"But I clearly saw it! That white shadow! Your Lu family don't try to drag us all along ....."

　　Poof!

　　Blood flew all over the ground.

　　The guard's head flew up out of thin air and rolled viciously to the ground, crashing in front of the feet of a servant girl carrying a bundle.

　　"Those who dare to demonize the public, die!!!"

　　Lu Sheng roared sternly, holding his sword and staring at the group of terrified people in front of him.

　　Poof.

　　That was when the headless corpse of the guard fell to the ground.

　　Ah!!!

　　The servant girl screamed.

　　"Shut up!"

　　A fierce intent came from Lu Sheng. With a sweep of his eyes, he immediately scared the woman who was screaming to cover her mouth and cry in a small voice.

　　A group of guards and housekeepers where have seen such a tragic and bloody scene.

　　One by one, they were scared to tremble, their faces were pale, but they did not dare to make a sound.

　　"All of you, go back, if you dare to make trouble again, kill!"

　　Lu Sheng said in a stern voice.

　　A deep look of fear came from the eyes of all the people.

　　Forced by Lu Sheng's lustful authority, they then remembered that this grand duke was a vicious character who had single-handedly killed several wanted criminals.

　　All of a sudden, everyone has fled like a distress separated and scattered.

　　The body of the guard who fell on the ground was also cleaned up by the guards who did not make trouble before.

　　These house guards and maids, before entering the house, are signed a contract of sale.

　　If you want to leave, you really think that the Lu family is a kind-hearted good man?

　　When the people finished leaving, Lu Sheng turned around and saw Lu Quanan and eldest uncle Lu Anping staring at him with astonishment and complexity.

　　"Fighting violence with violence is only a stopgap measure." The eldest uncle shook his head and said.

　　"As long as it is subdued for a short time first. If this matter can't be solved in the short term, then our Lu family itself will have to run away."

　　Lu Sheng said calmly.

　　"It seems that this time we really have to go to the government office for help ...." Lu Quanan sighed and said. "Fortunately this time there is Xiao Sheng you in."

　　Lu Sheng's decisive handling, let him see his son has a responsible, strategic side, the heart is also quite pleased.

　　Lu Sheng said in a deep voice.

　　"Tonight, I will keep watch again, I want to see, what is a thing dare to haunt my home!

　　Father do not worry, last night I did not find much, but I have detected a little bit of clues."

　　"Is that true?" Lu Quanan's spirit was lifted.

　　"It's true!"

　　"Do you need me to send troops over?"

　　Uncle said seriously.

　　"Do not act rashly now, I'm afraid that in case there are too many people instead of a drag. These ghosts, no one knows exactly what they are capable of. More people will be in the way. Can be transferred to guard the outside of the House."

　　Lu Sheng shook his head.

　　"Also, Xiao Sheng, it's all up to you this time!" Eldest uncle nodded and reached out to pat Lu Sheng's shoulder.

　　Although he is the deputy commander, but is not a Jianghu martial artist, plus the Great Song military officials have not fought in many years.

　　In fact, to say, he this official position, or by the test of military strategy, and do test papers out of the test. There is nothing to do with fighting.

　　The Song Dynasty emphasizes literature over martial arts is also a bad habit for many years. So at this time the main backbone of the family, all on Lu Sheng.

　　"Don't worry." Lu Sheng recalled the white horn of clothing that he saw, his heart had a vague hunch.

　　If we can catch the person with the white horn of clothing, we may be able to solve the case of the constant disappearance of the population.
