"Sure enough, there is something hidden. The fastest updated version of Dingdian novels." Hearing this, Guan Heng's heart moved slightly, and he immediately said: "Master Hou, if it is inconvenient, don't tell me."
"It doesn't matter, you are willing to save my life, how can I hide this little thing?"
Lu Jin smiled slightly, appearing unusually open-minded, and continued: "That night, I felt the pain on my arm began to become hot and pus oozed out, which was a bit uncomfortable. When I was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, someone suddenly broke in through the window, and it didn't stop. one……"
According to Lu Jin, the three people who appeared, two were half-black and one was in the fake black state, were all vicious people, and the other party's face was covered, so Lu Jin could not see their true appearance.
At that time, Zheng Haohou was still injured and could not exert 30% of his strength. Under siege, he immediately retreated. However, he also raised his voice and tried to call the guards to resist the assassin, but the other party's purpose did not seem to be He wanted Lu Jin's order, but went for a certain collection of things in his room.
During the fight, the other party finally robbed the things in the room. At this moment, the guards arrived. The three guys injured several guards and finally escaped.
"Master Hou, it was my dereliction of duty." Lu Pi said with red eyes beside him: "If I had arrived earlier, you wouldn't have suffered a big loss."
"Okay, you've been blaming yourself these days. I've said it before, it's not all your fault."
Speaking of this, Lu Jin shook his head: "This is also caused by my carelessness, alas." At the next moment, Ruotao had already gently opened the bandage wrapped around the other party's wound under Guan Heng's instruction, and it was covered with Lu Jin was touched by the dark, dirty pus and blood, and immediately frowned in pain.
"Master Marquis, please bear with the pain. I have to look at the wound first."
As Guan Heng said this, he continued to inspect it. At this time, Ruotao asked casually: "Master Hou, what did you throw away that night?"
"Well, this is the treasure passed down from my family." Zheng Changhou said without any concealment: "That is a box containing five inscribed copper fruits."
"What?!" After hearing this, Guan Heng and Ruotao couldn't help but be shocked.
It turns out that the Lu family is a legacy of Chongguo's long-standing meritorious service. Several generations of the family have received inscribed copper fruits from the Chongguo leader at that time. After accumulating in this way, they had five of them before they knew it. However, the bad guys somehow found out about them. The guy saw the right moment when Lu Jin was injured and immediately sent a strong man to take away the copper fruit.
"At that time, when I saw the inscribed copper fruit being taken away, I was so frightened and angry that I spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. In addition, the injury to my arm became more and more serious, and I finally fell ill."
Lu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Well, actually, I don't need to participate in any imperial competition, and I don't want to enter the Cave of Treasures. Those copper fruits are at best souvenirs to remember my ancestors, but to be taken away like this, I am really angry. "
"And the matter is not that simple. If the news that the Marquis lost the gift reaches the ears of the current leader, it will definitely be a catastrophe to cause the other party's anger..." Butler Song's voice trembled a little when he said this.
But at this moment, the boy who had just run out for a short drink hurried in and shouted: "Master Hou, it's not good." Seeing this scene, Lu Jin frowned and asked: "Is it out?" whats the matter?"
"Just now, several uncles guarding the gates came over and told me that the royal family's personal guards were sent by the communist leader and asked to see the Marquis. They kept saying that they were ordered to come and see the 'Inscribed Bronze Fruit' gifted by the king to the Marquis's house. .”
"Oops, the old man has guessed it." Butler Song's heart tightened at this moment, and he murmured: "This, this copper fruit has been taken away by the bad guys, what should we show to the envoy?"
"Cough cough cough" Lu Jin, who was lying in bed, was also agitated. He coughed repeatedly and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Master Hou, please don't get excited, just listen to me." Guan Heng was not so nervous at this time. He gently pressed the wound on the other person's arm and said calmly: "There is a saying called 'Che' There must be a way to the mountain. Please ask Butler Song to invite the envoys in, and I will find a way to send them away."
After hearing this, everyone present except Ruotao was puzzled. However, the envoy could not be turned away at this point, so Butler Song had to go out to welcome the guests.
A few moments later, two tall and thick men wearing armor followed Butler Song into the Hou Mansion. The two men walked quietly beside the housekeeper and walked beside the housekeeper in a muffled voice. After a while, they arrived at the living room of the Hou Mansion.
Butler Song said at this time: "You two adults, please sit down for a moment. I will ask for tea right away."
"Steward, wait a minute." One of the middle-aged guards in his forties said: "The two of us are still alive. We just came to see if the few inscribed copper fruits given by the co-lord in the Marquis's house are in good condition. Other matters Let’s take it easy first.”
"Yes, news has spread in Yangcheng recently, saying that Marquis Zhengchang was injured by an assassin, and his family's treasures were also taken away. The copper fruit is an important thing and cannot be lost. Butler, there is no need to disturb the Marquis who is recovering from illness. , just take out the copper fruit with the inscription and show it to us, and the two of us will go back and talk."
After hearing the words of another royal guard, Butler Song secretly cried out in his heart: "Oh my God, that thing has been snatched away by the thieves who killed Qian Dao. What can I show you?"
"What? Seeing that you are hesitant, is it true that the copper fruit with the inscription is lost?" The middle-aged guard suddenly darkened his face: "So, this is a serious crime. We have to go back and report it to the co-owner and let him make a decision. ”
"Hey, are you two too loud?" At this moment, Guan Heng and Ruotao suddenly walked in from the door.
He smiled slightly: "You guys are making so much noise here. It would be bad if you disturb the Marquis who is recovering from illness. Don't you just want to see the inscribed copper fruit? Okay, Ruotao, give it to the two guards. Take a closer look, but be careful not to touch our treasure."
There was a hint of teasing in Guan Heng's words, and the expressions of the two guards changed, but their four eyes soon fell on the tray held by Ruotao, which was exactly five round balls. Inscribed copper fruit.
"This..." The middle-aged guard looked at it repeatedly, and his expression softened a lot. It seemed that this person had some eyesight and knew that the things were true.
"Hahaha, now that you've finished reading, why don't you two hurry back and report back to the co-owner?" As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Heng winked at Butler Song and signaled him to see off the guests quickly.
The old butler was good at observing people's emotions. He immediately walked up to the two guards with a smile and quietly stuffed them with something: "You two adults have worked hard for coming all the way. Let's take these gold shells to get a drink."
"Okay, then we... you're welcome."
"Speaking of which, Marquis Zheng Chang has a good reputation in Yangcheng. Since we have confirmed that the copper fruit is not lost, we don't need to embarrass him and go back to recover." The two people had the same thought in their hearts, so they calmly said After accepting the gold shell, he said goodbye and turned around to leave the Hou Mansion.
