Chapter 9
After the three returned to the inn, Lu Mingtong dragged Lu Douya back to his room.
"Come, come, let us master and servant have a long talk."
Seeing his posture, Lu Douya felt bad, and his eyes wandered: "Young Master, it's getting late, we can talk about anything tomorrow, Young Master, let's go to bed earlier."
Lu Mingtong stopped him from letting him go: "I'm in good spirits, I can't sleep, come and chat with me."
Compared to the unsmiling Lu Jiutian, Lu Douya is obviously a better target for clichés.
Bean Sprout pursed her lips: "Then tell me, young master, what do you want to talk about?"
Lu Mingtong tapped the table with his knuckles: "The intelligence organization you mentioned before you came back, what is it called?"
"Hidden Book Pavilion."
"Yes, it is Yinshu Pavilion. What is the origin of this organization? How long has it been established, is it reliable?"
Bean Sprout said: "Master, since the establishment of Yinshu Pavilion, the Lu family has changed three generations of patriarchs, and you are the fourth generation. This Yinshu Pavilion was established to better confirm the rigor of Fengyunlu, and later because of gradually As we grow stronger, we will also start an intelligence business, as long as we can afford the money, we can sell the same amount of information. Of course, according to the master and the others, we will not get involved in the royal affairs."
Lu Mingtong said: "According to what you said, everyone can do business with Yinshu Pavilion, wouldn't we make a lot of money?"
Afraid that the wall has ears, Lu Douya approached him and whispered: "It can also be said, young master, master, they are upright, they don't want to take money, distort the facts, and don't accept bribes. How can our Lu family survive just by printing and selling Fengyun record samples every year?" Ah, so later on, the Lu family extended their hands to various industries."
Be good, Lu Mingtong swallowed, secretly thinking that my ancestors were really good at making money.
"Then, apart from Yinshu Pavilion, what else does the Lu family have?"
Bean Sprout whispered a few names, and Lu Mingtong almost bit his tongue in shock: "What...there are still these?"
He took two deep breaths in a row: "Everyone in the world knows about Yinshu Pavilion, so how many people besides you know about this?"
Lu Douya thought for a while: "And madam, butler...ah, Brother Jiutian doesn't even know about this."
He really asked the right person, Lu Mingtong patted Lu Douya's head in relief, and said a few good words repeatedly: "Remember this in advance, maybe it will be useful in the future, I will ask you in detail."
"By the way, Hero Xiao has been missing for so long, so no one has come to Yinshu Pavilion to ask?"
Bean Sprout said: "There should be, young master, Yinshu Pavilion is now fully represented by the master's cronies, you have to ask him for specific matters."
"How do I contact him?"
"The Hero Club, Master." Bean Sprout said, "The Hero Club is a restaurant owned by the Lu family. There are hero clubs in more prosperous cities and counties, and there are our informants there. As long as you contact the informant, you can let him introduce you. Young Master wants to go. If so, there will be a family three miles to the east.”
I have also been to Mingyue Tower, Miss Yingying has also seen it, Lu Mingtong temporarily calmed down, after all, finding Xiao Lang is one of their most important tasks at present, after listening to Douya, he said without hesitation: "Okay, Then get a good night's rest today, and the next day we will head to the Heroes Association to find out about Xiao Daxia's whereabouts!"
Early the next morning, a few people packed their bags and set off on the road. Lu Mingtong felt that sitting in the carriage was too boring, so he wanted to sit in front of the carriage with the driver.
Lu Douya also wanted to follow, and was pushed back into the car by him: "It's just a little bit big, and it's already crowded enough for me to sit here. If you come over, you have to roll down together. Stay in the car and eat." Have some snacks and enjoy the treatment of the young master."
Bean Sprout shrank back aggrievedly, Lu Jiutian slowed down the horse and walked alongside him.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Lu Mingtong found a veil to cover it up, and the veil under the veil fluttered towards the tip of his nose with the wind, scratching him and making him sneeze.
Before he left the city gate, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him, blocking his way.
Lu Mingtong patted the coachman on the shoulder, signaling him to stop.
Lu Jiutian frowned slightly, and said, "Young master, please wait here for a while, I'll go over and check on the situation."
Lu Mingtong wanted to go with him, but there were so many people in front of him, he was afraid of getting into something unnecessary, so he nodded in agreement.
Bean Sprout behind him also poked his head out: "Master, why did the carriage stop?"
Lu Mingtong said: "I don't know either, I checked in the past nine days."
"This is not a place for a market, why are there so many people gathered here?" Bean Sprout covered his forehead with one hand and looked into the distance: "Could it be that there was some murder?"
Hearing the word murder, Lu Mingtong regained his energy immediately, and told him to go back to the carriage and take out the pen and paper: "Be quicker, I didn't expect to bump into this shortly after leaving the house, and I just came to practice my hands."
The two of them were still very excited. Lu Jiutian had already returned from the investigation.
"It's nothing, young master. A group of people are just watching the fun, but it's completely blocked. I think we should take a detour."
Lu Mingtong asked: "What's so exciting to watch, so many people can surround you?"
Lu Jiutian hesitated: "It's nothing more than a matter between men and women. If the noise is louder, more people will be attracted."
A matter of men and women.
Lu Mingtong remembered the few picture books in the carriage.
"I want to go see it too."
Lu Jiutian said: "That's not right, young master, the owner is someone you know, if he is recognized, it will be another trouble."
Lu Mingtong wondered: "People I know?" He filtered through his mind, unable to guess who would be the protagonist of this farce, and opened his mouth wide: "Who, am I familiar with him?"
"It's that Miss Fang."
"Miss Fang, are you talking about the sweetheart of Mr. Qi we met a few days ago?"
Seeing the other party nodding, Lu Mingtong couldn't hold back his excitement. He said a few days ago that he wanted to meet the real deity, but he didn't expect to meet him. The gathering of heads must have made a lot of noise. Could it be that the two started arguing in the street?
The expression on his face was full of anticipation, and Lu Jiutian had a headache: "Master, that Fang Yunjin has a tricky personality, you really asked for trouble when you met her."
Lu Mingtong said: "But I'm wearing a hat now, who can recognize me?"
He grabbed Lu Douya: "Tell me, can you see my face clearly?"
Lu Douya squinted her eyes for a while, then shook her head cautiously.
"Look, this camouflage is perfect." Lu Mingtong begged, "Don't worry, I will never make a sound, you go there with me, if something is wrong, if someone wants to kill me, you can stop me soon ?"
Lu Douya was about to cry, "Master, what about the bean sprouts?"
Lu Mingtong patted his head and comforted him: "Douya boy, you are so eye-catching, you will expose us, wait for me to go over and have a look, and I will tell you the whole thing when I come back. The plot doesn't fall behind either, ah."
Lu Douya didn't give up: "Young master, being tall also has its advantages. Douya can lift you up, or, or if you sit on Douya's neck, can you see more clearly?"
The corner of Lu Mingtong's mouth twitched: "Do you think juggling? Isn't that more conspicuous? If it goes as you said, people will stop looking at the young couple and look at us instead." He turned his head and took Jiutian's hand: "Jiutian, or Take me there, calm down, I can trust you, okay?"
Lu Jiutian sighed: "Master, in your capacity, if you want to do something, Jiutian can only obey orders."
The two left Lu Douya behind, and Lu Jiutian followed Lu Mingtong, protecting him and squeezed into the crowd.
A restaurant was tightly surrounded by crowds of onlookers, and there was an empty space in the sea of people. The spectators seemed to unanimously make room for the protagonist. There stood a bright and flowery young girl with her arms folded, He completely ignored the crowd watching the excitement around him.
This should be that Fang Yunjin.Lu Mingtong stood on tiptoe, trying to find Qi Nan in the bustling crowd, but there was no one there.
"Strange, where are people..." Lu Mingtong tugged on Lu Jiutian's sleeve: "Hey, where is Mr. Qi?"
Lu Jiutian said softly: "Go back to Young Master, Jiutian didn't see Mr. Qi."
"Ah?" Lu Mingtong was startled: "You're not, didn't you say it's a matter between men and women, it's not Qi Nan, so what's going on here?"
Lu Jiutian said: "Master, when I came just now, Miss Fang stood at the door of the inn and kept calling the other person's name, threatening to make him face her directly. Jiutian asked the people around her, and it was indeed because of love."
But this person is not Qi Nan.Lu Ming said in a childlike heart: My good fellow, it turns out that Mr. Qi is really an infatuated kind, but it's a pity that Lang has a concubine and no intention of giving, but the other party can't see it.I don't know what kind of handsome man is worthy of this girl's big fanfare here.
Just as she was thinking, Miss Fang made a move.
She took a deep breath, put her hands on her hips and shouted inward: "Feng Ji! I know you are in here, if you are a man, you should come out, don't hide from Miss Ben!"
Lu Mingtong frowned, the name she called was really familiar, as if he had heard someone mention it not long ago.
This time, before he turned back to ask Jiu Tian, the Master had already given the answer himself.
A loud noise rose from the ground and flew straight into the sky. It was so sharp that it almost burst the eardrums. Lu Mingtong was stunned for a moment, and then he covered his ears belatedly.
The people around them couldn't escape either, they covered their ears with their hands and their faces were tangled.
Lu Mingtong thought for a while, and judged that it should be the sound of the suona, but there was no abnormal movement nearby, so how could someone play the suona for no reason?
Moreover, the suona was only played once, and there was no more words.
Then a man in black came out of the restaurant, holding a piano.
Lu Mingtong was taken aback again, this person looks familiar.
After the man in black came out, he didn't say a word, he didn't even give others a spare glance, he went straight to a place where there were few people, and he didn't mind the mess on the ground, sat on the ground, and then put the piano on his legs above, start playing.
Lu Mingtong was completely stunned.
There were two rows of peach trees planted beside the restaurant. There was no movement at first, but the clinker started to shake without wind while the man was playing the piano on the floor.
Pink and white petals fluttered down on the ground, accompanied by the beautiful sound of the piano, if Miss Fang was not still glaring at her, Lu Mingtong would have thought he was at a party of some elegant people.
The next moment, a red figure slowly stepped out of the restaurant, stepping onto the thin layer of peach blossom petals.
"Miss Fang is really wronged for saying this. Since when have you deliberately avoided Miss Fang?"
Dressed in red, with a golden mask.
Lu Mingtong finally knew why his familiarity with Fang Yunjin's name and the man playing the piano came from.
It turned out that Qi Nan's rival in love was none other than Feng Ji, the leader of the Demon Cult he met yesterday in Mingyue Tower.
"Come, come, let us master and servant have a long talk."
Seeing his posture, Lu Douya felt bad, and his eyes wandered: "Young Master, it's getting late, we can talk about anything tomorrow, Young Master, let's go to bed earlier."
Lu Mingtong stopped him from letting him go: "I'm in good spirits, I can't sleep, come and chat with me."
