Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 149: Zhao Yu’s Identity (Part 1)
Changping Marquis Mansion.
It was daybreak, but still foggy.
"Yes," Zhao Yu reported to Xu Zun who had just arrived, "The only missing members are the Changping Marquis' family of four and the housekeeper!"
"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "Just now the city gate reported that the Changping Marquis and his family left the city through the west gate late at night. Shen Xinglian has already sent people to chase them!"
In addition to a daughter, Lu Mingyue, Changping Hou Lu Jinlong also has a 7-year-old son, Lu Mingyang.
"That's right," Zhao Yu smacked his lips. "If the Marquis of Changping wants to leave the city, which city guard dares to stop him? I'm afraid that the Qinglan Temple Master is with them, too?"
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun asked, "what about the others in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"The rest have basically been captured," Zhao Yu pointed to the distance, "a total of 45 people, all of them are guards and servants of the Marquis' Mansion, and... they were all captured while they were sleeping, so..."
Xu Zun understood that since he was captured while sleeping, it meant that the people in the Marquis' Mansion were unaware of the situation, and he probably couldn't get any useful information from them.
"Sir," Zhao Yu asked, "So, the Marquis of Changping is also involved. He and his mother are not on good terms on the surface, but in fact they are just hiding their true colors and colluding secretly..."
While listening to Zhao Yu's words, Xu Zun was worried about someone, his godsister Lu Mingyue.
He knew that Lu Mingyue was absolutely unaware of this, otherwise, she would not have staged the kidnapping drama herself.
But the more this happened, the more Xu Zun worried about her safety.
Because, if you trace it back to the source, Lu Mingyue is undoubtedly the culprit who caused Qinglan Temple to be exposed and destroyed. If she hadn't insisted on finding Lu Xiaofeng's whereabouts, this storm wouldn't have happened...
Therefore, Xu Zun was worried that the master of Qinglan Temple and others would vent their anger on her, which would be detrimental to Lu Mingyue.
However, Shangyuan City is interconnected in all directions, and since Changping Hou has left the city, he must have made some preparations. It would be difficult to capture him!
Before, Xu Zun had also been conflicted. When he realized that there was something wrong with Marquis Changping, he also thought about just dealing with it perfunctorily.
But in the end, he decided to find out the truth!
Those dozen missing girls should not have remained missing like this.
Next, Xu Zun went to Lu Mingyue’s room to check, hoping that Lu Mingyue could leave him some message.
But when I went in, I saw that apart from the bed being a little messy, nothing else had changed.
From this, it can be seen that Lu Mingyue was also called out in the middle of the night and then taken away.
"Oh, by the way," seeing this, Xu Zun remembered an important thing and asked Zhao Yu, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Where is she?"
"This..." Zhao Yu's face changed, and he said regretfully, "The body was found in the flowerbed at the back!"
"Ah?" Xu Zun's heart tightened, "She's dead?"
"She was strangled to death," Zhao Yu said helplessly, "I guess Miss Lu didn't protect her!"
"Poor girl," Xu Zun felt very sorry, "Just because she was born too perfect, she suffered such misfortune!"
"Yeah, these bandits have nothing to do!" Zhao Yu said angrily, "They knew that Lu Xiaofeng was Miss Lu's best friend and she was in Shangyuan City, so why did they kidnap her?
"If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't been kidnapped, wouldn't the secret of Qinglan Temple be unknown to everyone?"
"You're right," Xu Zun said, "Kidnapping Lu Xiaofeng is indeed very risky, but they not only kidnapped him, but also killed Lu Xiaofeng's family. There may be other reasons!"
"Other reasons?" Zhao Yu frowned. "Could it be related to Lu's Bookstore?"
"Let's keep this in mind for now," Xu Zun said, "After I've dealt with other things, I'll have to study it carefully. Who knows, there may be important hidden secrets in this!
"Old Zhao," he looked around and said to Zhao Yu, "Go do something now. Go to the Yuntong Inn outside the north gate !"
"What?" Zhao Yu wondered, "Outside the North Gate, Yuntong Inn? Why?"
"Do you remember that there was a girl named Lin Na in Qinglan Academy?" Xu Zun said, "Back in Shangyuan Prefecture, the girl once said that Yuntong Inn was opened by their family.
"Manager Qian of the Yuntong Inn said that he saw Lu Xiaofeng and his family passing by the inn one morning?"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu scratched his head, "It seems to be the case."
"But, Lu Xiaofeng's family was clearly murdered at home," Xu Zun said, "Now, do you know what I want you to do?"
"Okay, I see! " Zhao Yu nodded. "This person lied. He might have been bribed. I want to know who bribed him!"
"But he is a wealthy shopkeeper," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Rather than saying he was bribed, it's better to say he was being directed by someone, or accepting orders!"
"Wow!" Zhao Yu immediately realized that this matter was of great importance, "Could it be that this Shopkeeper Qian is also one of theirs?
"Okay!" He raised his sword, "I know what to do!"
After saying that, Zhao Yu was about to go out and call for help.
"Hey? Old Zhao," Xu Zun stopped him and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"What?" Zhao Yu was stunned. After seeing Xu Zun's serious expression, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to hide my strength on purpose. It's really embarrassing to tell others, so..."
"Who is Zhao Shengong of Liaozhou?" asked Xu Zun.
"Ah? No way?" Zhao Yu was surprised. "Haven't you heard of Zhao Shengong? Zhao Shengong of Zhenyuan Escort Agency is!"
Xu Zun searched his mind and shook his head again.
"Sir, are you sure you are not joking?" Zhao Yu wiped his sweat, "The best escort agency in the world is Zhenyuan Escort Agency! It is run by Zhao Shengong! Zhao Shengong is known as one of the top ten masters of Daxuan. People in the martial arts world give him face and call him the fourth in the world. Have you ever heard of this?"
"Wei Beihui is the fourth in Tangzhou, and your grandfather... is the fourth in the world?" This time it was Xu Zun's turn to wipe his sweat, "What a coincidence!"
"Don't envy me!" Zhao Yu said shamelessly, with his neck stiff, "First, based on strength alone, my old man would never be ranked in the top ten. It's just because of his age and seniority that people in the martial arts world give him face!
"Secondly, I am only the seventy-ninth son of Zhao Shengong and his thirty-seventh wife. I guess he may have forgotten my name? Or maybe, he has forgotten more than just my name..."
"..." Xu Zun was speechless and had to ask, "Then why did you come to Tangzhou?"
"The Nine-Wheeled Soul-Turning Sword is the Zhao family's ancestral sword technique. Here," Zhao Yu drew out his sword and pointed at the blade. "The blade is equipped with nine rotating wheels made of meteorite iron. When the wheels rotate, there will be unexpected effects. That's why it's called the Nine-Wheeled Soul-Turning Sword!"
"Oh , and then what?" Xu Zun asked.
"If this sword is mastered, it can break any weapon, even people's hearts. Its power is against the sky!" Zhao Yu said clearly.
"But," Xu Zun asked the point, "what does this have to do with your coming to Tangzhou?"
"The knife was lost, and they insisted that I stole it!" Zhao Yu replied, "In order to avoid being killed by them, I ran to Tangzhou..."
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun smiled slightly, but suddenly his expression changed and he said sternly, "We are both thousand-year-old foxes, so don't act like an old demon in front of me!
“You are the inner guard!!!
"Xinye County, when Cai Kun led people to arrest you, you had already revealed your identity, so I was able to solve the fake Qiu Yongnian case so smoothly..."
