Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 95: The Mist Fills the Lantern Festival (Part 1)
Shangyuan City was bustling with people and was extremely lively.
Although Lu Mingyue is a heroic woman, she still retains her girlish nature.
At this moment, she was holding a string of candied haws and answering Xu Zun's questions while eating .
"In Qinglan Academy, all the sisters, oh... all the fellow Taoists are my good sisters," Lu Mingyue said, "The one who gave you the blue book should be Lin Na, she is the daughter of Lin Yutang, the richest man in the city, and also a chivalrous woman with a sense of justice!
"Oh... by the way, I haven't told you yet," Lu Mingyue continued, "I wrote all the names in the blue book! I told her to hand it to the government officials investigating the case when the time is right."
"Oh?" Xu Zun looked at Lu Mingyue and smiled, "So, you have already planned that the higher-ups will send someone to investigate your disappearance?"
"Of course," Lu Mingyue pouted and said, "Those incompetent officials in our Shangyuan City can do nothing except flatter their superiors and fawn on my father.
"I have calculated that as soon as I disappear, the government office will definitely send people to investigate. Maybe the governor will even come here in person to investigate the case!
"When the time comes, I'll have Lin Na hand over the blue book, and I'm sure they'll pay more attention to the missing girl case!"
"Oh... awesome, awesome..." Xu Zun gave a thumbs up.
He and Lu Mingyue talked as they walked, and behind them followed Wei Beihui and Huo Anu respectively.
Wei Beihui remained silent throughout the entire time . From his depressed and helpless expression, it was clear that he didn't want to be Miss Lu Mingyue's bodyguard at all.
I was only commissioned by the Marquis and had no choice.
Seeing that Wei Beihui thought highly of himself, Huo Anu did not take the initiative to talk to him. She just kept a vigilant eye on Xu Zun and did her job well.
"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "How did you find out about the serial disappearance of girls in Shangyuan City?"
"This was quite accidental," Lu Mingyue said, "I asked my friends to look for Lu Xiaofeng everywhere, and everyone found him while searching.
"So, we compiled all the missing information and found out that so many girls were missing in Shangyuan City!"
"Your...friend?" Xu Zun asked.
"Yes, the sisters in Qinglan Temple are all my friends," Lu Mingyue said, "Everyone is worried about Xiaofeng's disappearance and is working hard to find her."
"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun suddenly frowned, "This Lu Xiaofeng... is she very talented? She dreamed of returning to the general camp and wanted to kill?"
"Oh... I know you've been to my boudoir, so you must have seen this poem!" Lu Mingyue blinked her big, sparkling eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, even though Lu Xiaofeng is two years younger than me, she is a very perfect girl. Even I envy her very much!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Why do you think so?"
"She is beautiful," Lu Mingyue shook the candied haws in her hand, "she is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is courageous and talented, and the most amazing thing is that she has also mastered superb swordsmanship. She is simply an all-round genius!"
"Really? Pretty?" Xu Zun looked at Miss Lu and asked, "Prettier than you?"
"You must be joking," Lu Mingyue said pertinently, "You can go to Qinglan Academy and ask around. If Lu Xiaofeng is the second most beautiful woman in the city, then no one dares to be the first! I can't compare to her..."
"Wow!" Xu Zun exclaimed sincerely, "How beautiful must it be?"
"You... um..." Lu Mingyue pouted her cute little mouth again, "Are you praising me for my good looks in disguise?"
"Of course!" Xu Zun said, "I really can't imagine what someone prettier than you looks like?"
"Wow, Brother Xu, you are really good at praising people. Come..." As she said that, she actually passed the candied haws in her hand to Xu Zun's mouth, "Here, I'll thank you. Have one. It's so sweet!"
this……
Xu Zun didn't expect that Miss Lu was so friendly.
Cough cough...cough cough...
Behind him, Wei Beihui heard a fake cough, which was meant to remind Xu Zun to be aware of his identity.
However, Xu Zun didn't buy it. He immediately opened his bloody mouth and bit off two candied haws in one go!
"Hahaha..." Lu Mingyue laughed, "Look at your greedy face, it's so funny!"
Although she said it was funny, Lu Mingyue actually imitated Xu Zun and bit two of them at once, swallowed them and chewed them vigorously...
Crunch, crunch…
Xu Zun and Lu Mingyue looked at each other and chewed the candied haws happily. After swallowing them, they both laughed heartily!
Hahaha……
Hahaha……
This little girl is really unrestrained and cute...
Xu Zun felt a strange feeling in his heart, and felt that he had an innate sense of intimacy with this daughter of the Marquis's Mansion...
"Hmm... Brother Xu," Lu Mingyue asked Xu Zun after she finished chewing, "Where are we going? The county government office is just ahead! Are we going to the county government office?"
"Yes," Xu Zun said with a smile, "I haven't received the official order yet. I need to apply to the governor to obtain the authority to investigate this case."
"Oh..." Lu Mingyue was worried, "Will the governor agree? I always feel that they protect each other. Is he the same as the officials in Shangyuan County?"
"Don't worry, haha," Xu Zun took the opportunity to say, "Since you have already acknowledged me as your brother, I must make him agree no matter what!"
"Hey, this is more like my good brother!" Lu Mingyue held out the candied haws again, but found that only one bamboo stick was left, as the candied haws had already been eaten by the two of them.
So, the two of them laughed heartily again, causing Wei Beihui to frown repeatedly, and Huo Anu also had an amused expression.
Next, Lu Mingyue told Xu Zun some details about Lu Xiaofeng. After finishing, she was about to continue talking about the disappearance of other girls, but the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the county government office.
Just as Xu Zun was about to take Lu Mingyue in to meet the Governor Li Yan, he ran into an acquaintance.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xinglian, the deputy captain of the Shangyuan garrison army, suddenly appeared at the gate of the county government office.
But Shen Xinglian was seen riding a tall horse , jumping off the horse in front of the county government office, and stumbling towards the government office, looking very frightened.
As soon as he rushed to the gate of the county government office, he ran into Xu Zun.
Originally, because of the previous estrangement between the two, it was inevitable that they would feel a little awkward when meeting each other.
But unexpectedly, after seeing Xu Zun, Shen Xinglian actually pounced on him!
"Xu...Xu Zun..."
He grabbed Xu Zun's arm, lost his balance, and almost fell to one knee in front of Xu Zun.
"Hey?" Xu Zun was surprised to find that Shen Xinglian's face was pale and something was wrong, so he hurriedly supported him.
"Xu Zun, this is bad!" Shen Xinglian panted, "Another female corpse in monk's clothing appeared in the Luo...Luohan Temple!"
ah!!?
Upon hearing this, Xu Zun, Lu Mingyue, Wei Beihui and Huo Anu behind them were all shocked.
"You..." Shen Xinglian swallowed hard and said to Xu Zun, "Go and have a look! The person was still warm when he was found, and it seemed like he had just died not long ago..."
