C34 Chapter 34
Although Lin Meier heard Lu Changkong scolding Gu Laodao, she did not believe it. The ferocious Lu Changkong would be kind enough to let her go. When the maidservant untied the rope on her hand, Lin Meier jumped up like a leopard. She grabbed the candlestick on the table and broke the candle on it. She held the awl in her hand tightly. Step by step, he retreated to the corner of the wall. . .
Women are like this, only when they have something in their hands can they feel safe. However, after the maid left, the room became pitch black. When it was silent, she hugged the candlestick and cried softly, as if she was afraid that Lu Changkong, that devil, would be attracted. That was why she suppressed her crying, but that soft sobbing made people feel pity for her.
On the first day, at dawn and at night, the maid lit another candle for her. Lin Meier was still on high alert.
On the third day, she could already sleep peacefully on the bed and no longer hold the candlestick in her hand.
On the fourth day, Lin Meier started to walk around in the courtyard but everyone thought that she did not exist. Even the guard who was guarding the door deliberately turned his head when he saw her.
On the seventh day, Lin Meier went to the second street and came back again. The reason why she came back was because she was too curious. Maybe women were just curious animals. The more one understood something, the more one had to be clear about it.
Finally, at night, the maid came to light the lights again. She carefully asked, "Did your Boss Lu. . . Tell you anything?"
"Sir told me to be careful when you stay in the house. If you walk out of the yard, we will pretend not to see you!" The servant girl suddenly burst out laughing. "Just pretend you ran away. No one is allowed to chase after you. Didn't you see that the guards didn't look at you? "
"Did he really say that?" Lin Meier did not believe her ears.
"Yes!"
Lin Meier was confused. "What else did he say? He didn't say he wanted to see me?"
"No! However. . . " The maid suddenly stopped talking.
"What is it? Hurry up and say it!" Lin Meier was really anxious. The maid looked around and saw that there was no one around before she said, "A few days ago, when Old Man Gu heard that you were sleeping with a candlestick, he suggested that I change a knife for you, in case. . . In case you are tired from sleeping. In the end, he was scolded by me. "
Lin Meier almost found a hole to hide after hearing that and said with a red face, " I want to see your boss. I want to see him now. "
"Sir is not in the residence at night! If you want to see him, you have to wait until tomorrow. "
A man does not return home at night. He does not need to think about what he will do when he goes back. Lin Meier, who just felt that Lu Changkong was a good person, once again put him on the same level as a bad person.
Not long after, Lin Meier still could not help but ask, "What kind of person is Boss Lu?"
"I can't say for sure!" The young maid frowned and said, "He is very good to us servants. Sometimes, he does things too ruthlessly. A few days ago, he killed the boss of the Scorpion Gang. At that time, the hall was filled with blood. The sisters were so scared that they were trembling. However, he acted as if nothing had happened. He only said one sentence, then cut off his head and send it back. "
" Don't say anymore. " Lin Meier heard it and her entire body turned cold. " He is too scary. He is simply an executioner. "
"That person indeed deserves to die. " When the young maid heard Lin Meier belittle Lu Changkong, she said discontentedly, "If it was not for him ruining the sisters in the manor. . . In the entire Fan City, who would protect us servants as family members like the Lord? A little maid like us, Whether we live or die depends on whether a man is happy or not. In the past, when a man came to the estate to take a fancy to someone, wouldn't he just say one thing? When he had enough fun, he would smack his butt and leave. At the end of the day, it wasn't us servants who suffered. I just feel that Sir System is quite righteous. For this matter, Sir System has fallen out with a few dragon heads!"
Lin Meier looked at the young maidservant whose little mouth was pouting high and did not know what to say. It was not easy for her to lie to him and chat with her for a night. The next morning, she coaxed her again and quietly slipped into the main hall of the 'Ruyi'.
In the Ruyi, Lu Changkong sat on the armchair. Dozens of black-clothed men stood in two rows facing each other. In the middle, there was a large incense burner on the table with three incense sticks inserted into it. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the Ruyi had opened the incense burner.
Lu Changkong glanced at Cai Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied and legs tied. He said, "Laodao, you said you stole the silver from the Ruyi. Do you admit it?"
Cai Jiu gritted his teeth and said. "I do!"
"Alright!" Lu Changkong nodded and said: "I will give you a chance to argue. "
"Grandpa Xie, I know how to punish those who break the rules. Cai Jiu admitted it and begged Sir to show mercy. After I die, I'll pick up two bone cudgels and give them to my family. That'll be a good idea. "
Lu Changkong raised his eyebrows. " What else do you want to say? "
"En!"
"[Sir!]" One of the men in black stood out and said, "Sir, Brother Jiu has been working for the account for many years. The injuries on his body were all left behind by the account. If not for her mother's serious illness, and the doctor saying that she should use ginseng to keep her life, he wouldn't have made a mistake. You should just let it go lightly, right? "
"Go back! I admit it. I want you to talk too much. " Cai Jiu didn't appreciate his kindness.
After Lu Changkong called Gu Laodao to whisper a few words into his ear, he leaned back on the armchair and closed his eyes to rest. He didn't speak, and no one dared to move. No one understood what he was trying to do.
It didn't take much effort. Gu Laodao used a sedan to carry an old lady in.
"Mother!" Cai Jiu exclaimed. "Sir, one should take responsibility for what he did. Don't make things difficult for my mother. "
Lu Changkong ignored his shout and walked straight to the old lady's side. He put his finger on her vein, closed his eyes for a moment, and said, "Give me that knife. "
"Lu Aada, how dare you touch a hair on my mother's head. I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. " Cai Jiu flew into a rage and almost broke free from the rope.
"Tell him to shut up!" Lu Changkong ordered without turning his head. He gently broke the tip of the knife with his two fingers and held the broken blade between his fingers. He quickly tapped on the old lady's head and immediately pulled his hand out. A stream of blood shot out from the top of her head.
Cai Jiu, whose mouth was blocked, could not stop his tears from rolling down. The resentment in his eyes turned into a raging fire of poison.
Lu Changkong took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the black blood. He then picked up a pill and dissolved it with water. He poured it into the old lady's mouth bit by bit and called out softly. "Aunt, aunt, can you hear me?"
Lu Changkong hid in the market to attack the Jade Cave Sect. The Jade Cave Sect, which was famous for its alchemy, had the biggest business in the secular world, medicine. That was why he had been researching alchemy and medicine since the day he secluded himself. He had made some achievements in the past few months. It was a piece of cake for a self-cultivator who understood medical science to treat a mortal's illness.
"Who is it? Who are you?" The person who only had half a breath left actually sat up and stretched out his hand to feel around. He said, "Who are you? Where am I? "
"I'm Cai Jiu's friend. I brought you here to see a doctor. "
The old lady said happily, "You're Jiu Er's friend? Where did Jiu Er go? "
"Oh! He went to do some work. You can go home first. Wait for him at home. He can go back at night!" Lu Changkong ordered his subordinates to send the old lady away. "Let him go!"
Cai Jiu fell to his knees in front of Lu Changkong and kowtowed. Not only that, "My lord's great kindness, Cai Jiu will never be able to repay it in this lifetime. In his next life, he will repay you even if he is a cow or a horse. "
Lu Changkong walked back to his seat and said, "All of you are brothers of Ruyi. If you work for Ruyi, she will not treat you unfairly. If anyone has something to do, tell me, Lu Aada. I won't hesitate to do what I can. However, you can't do anything that violates the rules behind my back. "
" Cai Jiu, you have stolen the silver on your account. According to the rules, you should be buried alive. At the very least, you need to chop off your hands. However, there is a reason behind your actions of stealing the silver. It is also understandable. I only want one finger of yours. Are you convinced? "
Cai Jiu thought that he would die for sure. After hearing that, he kowtowed with tears streaming down his face and said, "Cai Jiu is convinced. Thank you for not killing me. "
Gu Laodao held a dagger with a square plate and said, "Master, please forgive me. You can do it yourself. "
Cai Jiu took the dagger without hesitation and cut off his left index finger. The pain made him sweat profusely but he covered his wound and did not say a word. Lu Changkong gestured for Gu Laodao to apply the Golden Sore Medicine on him. He took out another pill and said, "Take this pill back. Cut it into three portions per day. Give your mother three days in a row. I guarantee that she will be able to see the light again. "
"Thank you, Sir!" Cai Jiu cried as he knelt in front of Lu Changkong, unable to get up. It was only after a long while that he was pulled away by someone.
Gu Laodao looked at Lu Changkong's back as he left and sighed, "Master was born in the wrong place!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Han was confused by his words.
"Master, your hands are spicy, but your heart is not ruthless enough! You can't be an ambitious man, nor can you be a famous general. If he wasn't born in Great Ming or didn't belong to the Royal Guardian, perhaps he would be able to live a happy life for the rest of his life. But now. . . Ai!"
" Why don't you just say that he can't become the Emperor? " Wang Han smiled and said, "I knew about this long ago. I knew it from the moment he broke into the drill ground and saved Boss Tu. Although following him won't allow him to become a high official, Title, but. . . I dare say that the brothers of the Royal Guardian are counted one by one. To let them die for their big brother, they wouldn't hesitate at all. You will be conferred the title of Marquis if you follow the Eastern Factory. The chance to be conferred the title of Marquis. Why don't you move elsewhere? "
Gu Laodao laughed. " Even if you want me to beg Master for food, I'm willing to do so. Let's go, let's drink! "
Putting aside the nonsense, Lu Changkong did not walk very far before he met Lin Meier. After a casual glance, Lu Changkong walked straight past her as if he did not see anything.
"Boss Lu!" Lin Meier bit her lower lip. Her confidence and self-esteem had suffered a serious blow. No one had ever ignored him since he was young, but Lu Changkong did.
"What's the matter?" Lu Changkong did not even turn his head.
"I want to talk to you!"
