"Master!"
Lu Gong ran to Lu Ciqiang with a look of panic on his face, "Lü Liang, Lu Liang is gone!!!"
There was three parts panic, three parts confusion, three parts hatred and a hint of fear in his voice.
Nearly a month has passed since Lu Liang was imprisoned. During this month, everyone in the Lu family was very unhappy because of Lu Huan's death.
Because Lu Ci valued his own bloodline very much, he did not agree to impose such irreparable punishment on Lu Liang until he found concrete evidence that Lu Liang had done it. But just torturing and reading memories really couldn't do anything to Lu Liang, so after a period of time, most people no longer cared so much about Lu Liang's affairs.
Only Lu Gong still communicated with Lu Liang when he went to deliver food to him every day.
Of course, he was not trying to avenge Lu Liang, but was constantly torturing Lu Liang and persuading him to plead guilty. Because of Lu Liang's incident, he can't even raise his head in the village now.
Just today, when he walked into the cell where Lu Liang was imprisoned as usual, he was shocked to find that Lu Liang was missing!
This surprise is no small matter, Lu Liang is a repeat offender of the Lu family!
So he immediately ran up and down to report Lu Ci.
"Oh? Missed?"
Lu Ci's tone did not fluctuate at all, as if he was just saying that the weather today is good.
"Master, Lu Liang killed Xiao Huan, and now he is still absconding in fear of crime. We must catch him back as soon as possible!"
Lu Gong suggested eagerly from the side, as if he was afraid that if he reacted slowly, he would be regarded as an accomplice who let Lu Liang go.
"Fearing crime and absconding..."
Lu Ci was noncommittal about the word, "Catch, of course we have to arrest. But as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. You can just do this in secret, and don't make a big deal about it."
"Yes, I understand!"
After Lu Gong took the order and left, another figure walked out of the room.
"Did father let Lu Liang go on purpose?"
Lu Zhong asked tentatively.
"Hmph, since you can't find out about this matter, and he keeps complaining, I might as well give him a chance to investigate on his own. The blood of the Lu family cannot be lost in an unknown way."
Lu Ci narrowed his one eye into a slit, covering up the cold light flickering in it.
"If he can prove his innocence, that would be the best, and we would have a target for revenge. If not, the next time he is caught, he will be dealt with directly according to the clan rules! You go and make arrangements, don't let anyone in the clan There are too many good hands.”
"Yes, father."
…
…
Lu Ci's idea of not exposing the family scandal to the public was indeed a good idea, but it was a pity that there was no airtight wall in the world.
Not long after, an unexpected person came to his door.
"What are you here for?"
Lu Ci frowned as he looked at Wang Ai, who seemed to be thinner than before and whose aura became more sinister.
"Hey, Brother Lu, don't make such an expression."
Wang Ai sat down on the Eight Immortals chair opposite Lu Ci without noticing anything, "Our two families are like grasshoppers on the same rope now!"
"what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Brother Lu, you are also a smart person. We should not talk secretly."
Wang Ai chuckled twice, "You and I have known each other since we were children, and have been friends for nearly a hundred years. Although you used to have a somewhat impulsive personality and cruel methods, you are not crazy. When did you become a 'Mad dog'?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ci's half-closed eyes suddenly opened a crack, and the light in them almost burst out, which was extremely fascinating.
"You came here today to tell me these old things?"
He reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, ready to drink.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, Brother Lu,"
Wang Ai quickly spoke up to stop Lu Ci, "You said it was an old thing, and I agree with that, but some people don't think so. Haven't the recent events in your family made you wary?"
"Do you know who did this?!"
A fierce murderous aura suddenly erupted from Lu Ci's body.
"Be patient, don't be impatient,"
Wang Ai was unaware of Lu Ci's aura. Although his strength might not be as good as Lu Ci's, he was still at the same level after all, and such a little aura could not scare him.
He said unhurriedly: "Although I don't know who did it specifically, there is no doubt that the man behind the scenes should be the same person who attacked my Wang family before."
"How to say?"
Lu Ci wasn't that easy to fool, and it was impossible for him to admit it based on just a guess.
"There's one thing you may not know."
Wang Ai's face showed a look of memories, "The earliest attack our Wang family encountered was not on Tu Junfang, but before that, when the Southwest Branch of Tianxiahui was first established. I sent a pretty good guy The juniors went to cause them some trouble, but they disappeared inexplicably on the way. This should be the reason why their subsequent raid on us went so smoothly. Brother Lu, do you feel that this matter is inexplicably familiar? "
Can you not be familiar with it?
What happened to Lu Huan just happened.
"You mean, they also did what happened to Xiao Huan? Why did you attack my Lu family?"
Lu Ci's face showed a look of thinking.
"I suspect that the other party is a descendant of those people back then."
Wang Ai came closer and whispered.
The people he was talking about were naturally the Thirty-Six Thieves. Upon hearing this, Lu Ci's expression became serious.
"What evidence do you have?"
"Otherwise, with the opponent's ability, if it's just for the Eight Magic Skills, there's no reason not to target the Feng family and come to deal with us."
"Hmph, you have acted domineeringly over the years. Do you still have few enemies?"
Lu Ci sneered at Wang Ai's remarks.
"What you said is wrong,"
Wang Ai explained, "I admit that the Wang family has acted in a high-profile manner in recent years and has offended some people. But who among those people is qualified to be our enemy? None! Only the unpredictable descendants of the Eight Wonders. , only have this ability!"
Although this sounds arrogant, if you analyze it carefully, it seems that it is not completely unreasonable.
Seeing that Lu Ci's expression was a little shaken, Wang Ai continued to fight: "Brother Lu, although you and I don't know what the other magical skills are, at least we shouldn't doubt their power, right? There is such a secret I keep staring at you, can you feel at ease?"
After a long silence, Lu Ci asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Find out the person behind the scenes!"
Wang Ai replied without thinking, obviously having made up his mind a long time ago.
"How to find it? I remember that even if the company intervened, we still haven't been able to find the Tu Junfang."
"The company operates according to company rules. There are many things they want to do, but they can't do. But what they can't do, we can!"
Wang Ai's eyes showed a cunning light, "The simplest way to find people is nothing more than divination. Brother Lu, would you like to go to Wuhou Village with me?"
"Wuhou Qimen..."
Lu Ci thought for a moment and chose to agree to Wang Ai's proposal for the sake of the safety of his family.
…
…
Jiande, Wuhou Village.
The heads of the Lu and Wang families, two of the four major families, came to visit together and were naturally given a grand reception by the Zhuge family.
It even alerted the old patriarch Zhuge Liuyun to come forward in person.
"Brother Lu, Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for many years, you two are as charming as ever!"
Zhuge Liuyun is a thin old man with white hair and white beard, an immortal spirit, and a pair of naturally squinting eyes that makes him look very kind.
"Oh, Brother Zhuge is so complimentary!"
Wang Ai said, "Our place can't compare to your meditation and cultivation. You don't have to worry about anything and have such leisure. I've been so worried lately!"
As soon as he said these words, Zhuge Liuyun's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, when he saw Wang Ai coming to the door, he had some guesses about the purpose of the two people. After all, as the leader of the clan, he could not really be like Wang Ai said, being blind to what was happening outside the window and only focusing on cultivating strange things. Door method. Such a big thing happened in the Wang family some time ago, so he naturally knew about it.
Not only did he know about it, but when the company sent someone to ask for help, he even performed the fortune telling himself.
However, because Chi Yao had already been reminded by Lu Jin in advance and stayed inseparable from Tu Junfang, scheming against Tu Junfang was tantamount to scheming against Chi Yao. If Zhuge Liuyun hadn't been very alert because of the nonsense master's mistakes, maybe the Zhuge family would have changed its head.
therefore……
Zhuge Liuyun smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry about your family's affairs. I have personally made divinations, but I still can't figure out the details of the other party. I can only say that the other party is more accomplished in the Qi Sect than us!" "
After hearing his words, Wang Ai and Lu Ci looked at each other.
"He is indeed the most famous warlock in the circle. Although Brother Zhuge cannot figure out the details of the person behind the scenes, he can figure out our thoughts clearly."
Wang Ai smiled in a low voice, "But it's not me who has something to ask for today, but Brother Lu."
"Oh? Brother Lu?"
Zhuge Liuyun was stunned. He thought Lu Ci was here to support Wang Ai. After all, the four major families are in the same spirit!
In the foreign circle in China, in terms of family power alone, the Zhuge family and the Tang family in Shu are not inferior to the four families of Wang, Lu, Lu, and Gao. If they are completely ranked according to strength. , it is possible to make six major families or more.
But the main reason why they have always been the four major families is because they have always been family friends and have been a small circle of mutual help for many years. This established their unshakable position, although after Lu Jin took over, the Lu family gradually became alienated from the Wang and Lu families.
"I don't know what Brother Lu has to do. As long as I, the Zhuge family, can do my best, I will never refuse."
Since Wang Ai's request has been declined, it would look bad for everyone if he refused twice in a row, so Zhuge Liuyun became generous to Lu Ci.
After all, he wouldn't let himself figure out the origins of the mastermind, right?
"Since Brother Zhuge said so, I won't be polite."
Lu Ci said, "A month ago, my great-granddaughter Lu Huan was killed in Lujia Village. I want to know who the murderer was."
"Lu Huan? That cute little girl died?"
Zhuge Liuyun was shocked when he heard this. As the number one genius of the Lu family, Lu Huan was also somewhat famous in their circle.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I am obligated to do this."
Just do it, Zhuge Liuyun closed his eyes and fell into concentration on the spot, entering the inner scene.
In the unclear and chaotic interior world, Zhuge Liuyun silently asked in his heart: "Who is the murderer who killed Lu Huan?"
Before his thoughts calmed down, he saw a fireball so huge that it seemed to fill the entire world suddenly appeared, and it was still expanding, and it was about to suck him in!
Zhuge Liuyun suddenly felt that something was not going well, secretly thought that it was bad luck, then turned around and ran away, leaving the interior scene in a hurry.
"Hu~hu~"
Almost as soon as he opened and closed his eyes, Zhuge Liuyun turned pale, breathing heavily, with a look of shock on his face.
"Brother Zhuge, what are you..."
Lu Ci and Wang Ai looked at his embarrassed appearance and asked in confusion.
"well……"
After taking a breath, Zhuge Liuyun looked helpless and said, "Brother Lu, I'm really sorry. There's nothing I can do about this matter."
"Huh? What do you say?"
"The person you want to count is no less powerful than the person behind the scenes that Brother Wang is looking for. Such a problem is really embarrassing for me."
Zhuge Liuyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Oh? So, the murderer who killed Xiao Huan is the same person who attacked the Wang family?" Lu Ci clenched his fists.
"Well... I can't be so sure. I can only say that they all have the same background and are difficult to trace."
Zhuge Liuyun corrected.
"That's it..."
Lu Ci tapped the table with her fingertips, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Is it difficult to trace or impossible to trace? Brother Zhuge, if it is just a difficulty, I am willing to pay a higher price in exchange for your help. "
"this……"
Zhuge Liuyun stroked his beard after hearing this, "You two are not warlocks, so you may not know the difficulty of divination. To put it simply, the greater the impact something has on the world, the more difficult it is to draw accurate conclusions. The result. It is extremely rare that nothing can be calculated, but it doesn’t make much sense even if I tell you an answer that covers a very wide range.”
"For example?"
"For example, if Brother Wang wants to find Tu Junfang, when the company comes to me, I can figure out that he is in China. But what's the point?"
Zhuge Liuyun gave an example.
"Can't it be more precise?"
"I'm sorry, it's beyond my ability."
"Sigh... If that's the case, then why bother Brother Zhuge."
"You two walk slowly."
…
…
After leaving Wuhou Village, Wang Ai and Lu Ci returned to the car.
"How about Brother Lu, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Wang Ai said, "The person who is targeting your family is the mastermind behind the attack on the Wang family!"
"What you said is indeed correct, but now even Zhuge Liuyun can't figure out the other party's information. What will happen if he knows it?"
Lu Ci felt a little irritable.
Anyone who knows that his family is being targeted by such a person hiding in the dark will always be in danger and will feel irritated, especially when the other party has the power to support him in doing this.
"Warlocks are not the only ones who can tell fortunes. Wizards, onmyojis, astrologers...we have many choices." Wang Ai said with a smile.
"You mean to find foreigners from abroad?"
Lu Ci was a little surprised, "Do you have connections in the Jade Society?"
The Emerald Society is the largest wizard organization in Europe. Isaac Tabor, the dean of Flamel College, is known as the greatest white wizard in Europe. His status is almost the same as that of the Heavenly Master in the country. And their divination magic is also quite famous.
"It's a bit difficult in Europe, but I can use my connections to find Onmyoji or priests..."
Before Wang Ai finished speaking, Lu Ci sharply interrupted: "Asking for help from a kid? This is impossible! My eldest brother was..."
"I'm also very sad about Brother Lu, but after all, it's been so long..."
Wang Ai wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Lu Ci had no patience to continue talking to him, so he opened the car door and walked out.
"I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said today. I will handle the Lu family's affairs on my own. You can take care of yourself."
Looking at Lu Ci's retreating figure, Wang Ai's face was filled with gloom.
"It's been so long, and I still can't understand the situation. Just wait and see, one day you will come and ask me for help!"
