Chapter 27 Recruiting I

A group of people carried Lu Sheng to the bedroom and invited the special Lu Fu doctor to come over to check.

　　After the doctor entered the room, he came out in a short while.

　　"There is no serious injury, just physical exhaustion, coupled with the lower abdomen by a strong hit. The Grand Duke has a strong body, so it's nothing if he didn't hurt his internal organs."

　　Only then did Lu Quanan breathe a sigh of relief.

　　Lu Sheng's own hands this time, really some reckless.

　　He is the eldest son of the Lu family, in case there is any shortage, what should be done in the future?

　　"Quan An, this is also a helpless occasion."

　　Eldest uncle sighed.

　　"What happened here, I plan to personally report to the court and cross the governor. That Song Duanzhu, as the parent official of a city, said before that he would report to the court, but so far it is still .... I am the deputy commander, several times asked the commander Yang Duanrui to write a letter, he was excused."

　　"Will there be any inside information?" Lu Quanan said in a deep voice.

　　"Not sure .... And gently that girl, the missing ones have not been heard from so far." The eldest uncle shook his head.

　　The two men guarded the door, feeling like they had to do something, but didn't know what they could do.

　　This kind of thing was beyond their imagination.

　　Although they had heard about this kind of thing from other places before, but when it really happened to their own family, they didn't know what to do.

　　"How about ...." Lu Quanan pondered, "We put up a list of rewards to recruit people who can solve such spiritual things."

　　"Under the heavy gold, there will be brave men, it may be feasible. Anyway, now these things are also boiling, can not cover up."

　　Uncle nodded his head.

　　The two of them discussed the matter carefully and settled on it.

　　In a short time, there will be the Lu House underlings took a stack of red paper, outside the door of the Lu family, and the nearby public notice wall posted.

　　The red paper was soon posted in several important places with high traffic flow.

　　It attracted a lot of people passing by to watch.

　　........

　　A few days later.

　　At the entrance of the city.

　　People come and go, traffic is fast on the main road.

　　A team of merchants hauling gray goods slowly stopped at the city gate, the leader of the merchant team began to greet the unloading, waiting for people to move.

　　The caravan was just passing through the city, unloading only part of the goods.

　　Between the leader's greeting, a carriage of the caravan, jumped down a tall and short two people.

　　Two people wearing Taoist robes, the tall one is a middle-aged man with a rosy face. Carrying a sword on his back, wearing white cloth shoes with a black background.

　　The woman is also dressed in Taoist robes, but looks pretty, although vaguely with a trace of fatigue, but still can be seen to be well educated. This is only possible in such times if one comes from a large family.

　　"Brother Yan, this is the Nine Company City."

　　The woman's voice was crisp, like a young girl of eleven or twelve who had only just opened her voice.

　　"En, it should be the Nine Company City that the man said. You've worked hard all the way here, Rong Rong."

　　The daoist nodded his head and looked around.

　　Soon he noticed a red bulletin paper posted at the entrance of the city.

　　The notice attracted a crowd of people to look around, and even the two soldiers guarding the city also came over and were chatting with people.

　　The faces of all the people were filled with amazement and envy.

　　"and Yan Kai brother all the way, also did not feel how bitter, that notice over there looks like a reward notice, we go first to see, may not have been someone in trouble posted for help."

　　Rong Rong followed Yan Kai to the north and south, and had a lot of experience in this kind of thing.

　　They have encountered several incidents before, is through the bulletin first time to find the family in trouble.

　　Yan Kai nodded his head.

　　"Come on, let's go take a look."

　　The two walked into the city gate and quickly squeezed towards the bulletin posting.

　　".... It's the Road House ah... The city is really not peaceful lately. Even the Lu family is in trouble."

　　"Lu family, before there are people escaped, I saw a glimpse, seems to be the previous Lu family guard captain, the whole house people are on edge."

　　"I haven't seen Sister Yu out purchasing for several days, it's hard to believe that something really happened?"

　　The people around you say one thing and I say another, intermittently chatting.

　　Yan Kai listened carefully, while raising his eyes to see the posted bulletin.

　　'Five hundred gold reward for the recruitment of strange and unusual people.

　　Recently, there are many strange things in the city, and sometimes people go missing.

　　Previously there was the Xu family tragedy, Wang family Zhuang throwing well case. Now there is the sound of women crying in the middle of the night in my Lu Mansion.

　　In order to get peace at home, we offer a reward of 500 taels of gold, about 5,000 taels of silver, to investigate this matter thoroughly. Find the missing person.''

　　The bulletin was written in a very simple way, and its meaning was clear and concise.

　　The following also posted a copy of the announcement, on the top is the Lu House encountered the midnight cries of the incident began and ended.

　　Before and after the missing person case that happened in the Lu Mansion, completely written out.

　　Yan Kai looked at it carefully and his eyebrows locked up slightly.

　　"This is it. Let's go to the Lu family."

　　Rong Rong finished reading the content of the bulletin on the side as well.

　　"It just so happens that we are also looking for this ghostly creature, and we can also earn some coins on the side."

　　"We walk the path, not for money." Yan Kai said solemnly.

　　"Yes, yes, yes." Rong Rong spit out her tongue, hurriedly shut up, she is aware that Yan Kai brother most can not stand to hold the matter of gratitude.

　　Yan Kai did not say a word, went forward and tore down the notice.

　　The housekeeper who was guarding the road house at the side lit up and came to life.

　　"Two, this way please!"

　　Yan Kai nodded his head.

　　He took Rong Rong with him and went with the family man towards the Lu Mansion.

　　The surrounding crowd, who were watching before, were all in a bit of an uproar, and there were quite a few good people who followed the whole way.

　　Want to see if they really went to the Lu family.

　　These two men and women dressed in Taoist robes seem to have two brushes.

　　Yan Kai does not care whether there are people following behind, walking up the road without changing color, as if it were invisible, obviously long used to being surrounded by people.

　　Rong Rong, on the other hand, took the initiative to set up a conversation with the family man, asking some questions about the situation of the Lu Mansion.

　　In a short time, the two got into a carriage, which turned left and right, and after walking for a while, stopped.

　　As soon as they got out of the car, they were led into a large mansion with rockery, bridges and gardens, birdsong and flowers, which was beautifully decorated.

　　Yan Kai did not look away, led Rong Rong all the way forward, and soon arrived at a meeting room.

　　"Welcome welcome."

　　A middle-aged man with a sad face and a white face sat inside the meeting room.

　　The man had a rich physique, wearing a silver-edged copper coin patterned moon white robe, and a long beard on his chin combed neatly and cleanly.

　　It was none other than Lu Quanan, who had only just come from Lu Sheng.

　　"Is it the two of you who tore down the city gate bulletin?" Lu Quan'an carefully looked at the two people in front of him.

　　Both of them are Taoists, the male has a rosy, lustrous face, full forehead, solemn eyes, straight waist and back. If you change into a Confucian robe, you will have the style of a famous scholar.

　　The woman's face is pretty, with a touch of innocence, eyes agile peeking around, looks like a young lady sneaked out of the disguise some.

　　"Exactly. Poor Tao Yan Kai. Color of Yan, the beginning of the open. Dao number also Yangzi."

　　Yan Kai introduced himself.

　　"This is poor Daoist senior sister Duan Rong, the two of us have come for the matter of the missing population posted by the Lu Mansion."

　　"Please have a seat, both of you."

　　Lu Quan'an reached out his hand to gesture.

　　Yan Kai and the two of them took their seats, and a waitress quickly served tea and refreshments.

　　"I have already written the specific matters in detail on the bulletin. If Daoist Master Hui Yangzi wants to take this bounty, he will also have to meet my son Lu Sheng before he can do so.

　　My Lu family's bounty this time is reviewed by him." Lu Quan'an said softly. "Of course, if you really have the ability, regardless of whether it is successful or not at this time, afterwards there will be a hundred taels of silver to offer."

　　After these words were said, Yan Kai and Duan Rong Rong both agreed.

　　Lu Quanan also slightly asked Yan Kai two people's origins, where people, how old. Where is the immortal residence.

　　Yan Kai answered all of them.

　　After a short break, several more people came to the meeting room to reveal the list.

　　Among the later ones, two were monks from the Red Lotus Temple and one was a Taoist like Yan Kai.

　　The last person, a ranger, waist hanging double swords, both short swords, handsome face, careful look is actually a woman dressed as a man.

　　After waiting for a while, Lu Quanan almost came, so he asked everyone to get up and go towards the courtyard where Lu Sheng was.

　　The Lu family's compound is very large and occupies a large area, part of the family house even extends to the city wall, the most prosperous part of Jiu Lian City accounted for a full third, which shows its wealth.

　　Among the five families in the city, the richest is the Lu family.

　　The crowd followed Lu Quan'an towards the Yellow Crane Courtyard.

　　On the way, everyone can see the courtyard, everywhere guarded with swords of the guards family.

　　These guards are all thick-waisted and rounded, strong and sturdy, standing upright, a glance at the military training.

　　Yan Kai looked all the way over, his face slightly gloomy.

　　"This Lu family, some powerful ah ...."

　　Duan Rong Rong on the side of the incomprehension.

　　"Just rich and powerful, ah, and we used to meet those families, what's so powerful?"

　　Yan Kai shook his head.

　　"Not these, but the Lu family should have a military background, otherwise the family guards here, will not be such an imposing stand. Military rules are strict, and only those who receive military training from time to time will always maintain such a refined spirit.

　　This is not the kind of stance that those retired veterans can have."

　　"With a military background! This kind of people actually have to post a bulletin for help, it seems to have gotten into a lot of trouble."

　　Duan Rong Rong was also staggered after listening.

　　A group of people traveled hundreds of steps, and soon entered the Yellow Crane courtyard.

　　The yellow crane courtyard next to the schoolyard, can still faintly hear the sound of guards training on the schoolyard bugle.

　　Lu Sheng, the eldest son of the Lu family, is sitting on a chaise longue, his body half lying down, his face is white, his body is wrapped in a thick blanket, the air can still smell the clear smell of medicine. It does not look very good spirit.

　　Yan Kai carefully look at this Lu Sheng, a glance, you can see that the other party's eyes essence and energy is weakened, like a sick person who has not recovered from injuries.

　　"Greetings to all the strong men."

　　Lu Sheng coughed twice and arched his hand towards the crowd.

　　"As you all can see, I am not in good health and my injuries have not yet healed, so I will not get up to greet everyone."

　　"You are welcome, Sir Sheng."

　　The monk from the Red Lotus Temple, whose Dharma name is Master Zhen Tan, stepped forward and spoke out.

　　"The Lu family has always been one of my Red Lotus Temple's devout incense-bearers, and this time when something happened, the host instructed us to come all the way here to see if there was anywhere we could help."

　　"Thank you, master, and thank the Red Lotus presiding officer for me."

　　Lu Sheng returned a smile.

　　The other daoist opened his mouth to ask about the case.

　　Lu Sheng answered one by one.

　　The two Yan Kai listened carefully on the side, while also sizing up this Lu Sheng.

　　"It was attacked by Yin Qi, and it was only recently injured."

　　After Yan Kai carefully observed, he could see that this Lu Sheng's body was different.
