Jiuxi

Chapter 45 045 [Return to the other side]

Lu Chen wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Lin Xi stayed behind.

"Junior brother, please wait a moment."

Lin Xi turned around and walked into the inner room. When he came out, he had a short blade in a leather sheath.

From the outside, the blade looked ordinary, and the leather sheath was even a bit old, but Lu Chen knew in his heart that something worthy of Lin Xi's serious treatment must be extraordinary.

Lin Xi came to Lu Chen and took out the short blade from the leather sheath. It turned out to be a dagger that exuded a cold light.

Lu Chen asked: "Senior sister, this is..."

"This dagger cuts iron like clay and is indestructible. It was a gift from a Daiguo businessman to repay my father for saving his life. My father later gave it to me, but it is of little use to me."

Lin Xi looked gentle and continued: "Although you have now glimpsed the threshold of the Mysterious Sutra, it will still take a long time to enter the hall. When you meet an ordinary martial artist, you can handle it easily with the foundation of your nine years of hard training in Shou Zheng Jue. . But if you face a top expert, you will hardly have a chance to win or escape. Therefore, if you are in danger again when I am not around, this dagger can help you."

She slipped the dagger into its holster and handed it over.

Lu Chen felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior sister."

Lin Xi shook his head slightly and added: "You can hide the dagger in your boots and strike unexpectedly. Most warriors will not be able to block it. If you use a weapon to block it, this dagger can easily cut off the opponent's weapon, and the physical body will be even more powerful." It’s impossible to resist.”

Lu Chen looked at the dagger and said carefully: "Senior sister, if I suddenly squat down and touch my boots, the other party will definitely be on guard. How should I respond at this time?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xi hesitated a little, but finally said softly: "You have now learned the first part of the movement technique, and have initially mastered how to exert and leverage force. I can teach you a few more small movements so that you can get closer. and entangle the enemy. At this time, you can pull out the dagger and then attack when he is not prepared."

"Please enlighten me, Senior Sister."

"That's a body technique I learned when I was thirteen or fourteen years old. My father described it as erratic as a ghost, and dazzling like a butterfly piercing flowers, so he gave me a simple name, called the three postures of piercing flowers. You Come with me."

When the two came to the courtyard, Lin Xi coughed lightly, and then demonstrated to Lu Chen the movement technique she created herself.

But I saw a white dress as light as the moon, floating and graceful as a startling giant.

Lu Chen suddenly understood the reason for her previous hesitation. Because the three movements of wearing flowers were aimed at quickly approaching the enemy, there would be a lot of small twists and turns, fully displaying Lin Xi's slender and graceful figure.If it were a life and death fight, she would naturally not take this into consideration, but right now she would inevitably be a little embarrassed to show it in front of him.

Lin Xi landed quietly, her cheeks slightly red, but she still said gently: "Do you see clearly?"

"No." Lu Chen said honestly.

"Okay, I'll slow down a little this time, please watch carefully." Lin Xi turned around and said.

In the sunshine of early summer, the scene of the forest stream dancing in the breeze was like a beautiful ink painting, which was fixed in Lu Chen's eyes for a long time.

When he came out of the other courtyard, Li Chengen stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Master, your smile today is very similar to that day, which makes people feel weird."

"Are you dazzled? Have you been suffering from insomnia recently?" Lu Chen asked with concern.

Li Chengen knew the subtext of this sentence and replied smoothly: "Sleep well, thank you young master for your concern."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Let's get down to business. Cheng'en, how many good hands can we use in Guangling City right now? It's best to have those who have seen blood."

Li Chengen was shocked and lowered his voice and asked: "Master, could something serious happen?"

"Be prepared." Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but briefly explained the matters related to the Gu family and Beiyan Xizuo. Because of Lu Tong, he trusted Li Chengen very much.

Of course, Li Chengen understood what Lu Chen meant by telling these secrets. He said solemnly: "Thank you, Master, for your trust. If we take those who have Qi training experience as the minimum standard, there are a total of 120 four people in Guangling City. If they must have seen blood, then There are only about 40 people.”

Lu Chen's steps suddenly stopped, and he couldn't hide his surprise and asked: "120 four people?"

Li Chengen nodded, clasped his hands and counted: "There are 20 people in the family who live in the nursing home, and there are 45 people living in a row of houses on the street behind Zhiyuan. In addition, the Lu family has twelve workshops in Guangling City , 23 facades, and seven farms outside the city..."

"Okay, there's no need to forget it." Lu Chen interrupted with a smile, and then said: "Screen these people as soon as possible, select from them trustworthy, bold, careful, and well-spoken experts, and try to gather them here without attracting attention. In those houses behind Zhiyuan."

Li Chengen nodded in agreement, and then said after careful consideration: "Young Master, the Gu family's official relationship is not weak, so we should proceed with caution in this matter."

"It doesn't matter, the Warp Weaver Department will take up the responsibility." Lu Chen smiled slightly, calmly.

……

It was two days later that I met Li Jin again in that tavern.

"Brother Li, would it be inappropriate if the Warp Weaving Department directly attacks the Gu family?"

Lu Chen's straightforward words put Li Jin in a dilemma.

To be fair, with the evidence they currently have, it is impossible to directly rush into Gu's house and conduct a massive search.It would be good if Beiyan Xizuo can be found, but if nothing is found, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Even Su Yunqing must think carefully here.

Li Jin sighed softly and said, "We can't break into Gu's house directly without real evidence."

Lu Chen said unhurriedly: "I have been thinking about another issue in the past two days. After the previous case was over, Mr. Su launched a large-scale manhunt in Guangling City. The fake Yan Xizuo should have fled here long ago. The border war is fierce now. , why did they run back to Guangling? There is no doubt that they must be planning some conspiracy. "

"I think so too." Li Jin nodded in agreement and said, "I understand what Brother Lu means. No matter what the other party wants to do, it will not be a good thing for Guangling. Instead of trying to guess, it is better to strike first. Maybe you can force the other party to panic. But you also know that the Gu family has a strong foundation, and it is inappropriate to force a break-in. If there are casualties, Mr. Su may not be able to bear the burden of pursuing it from the higher ups. "

Now he was able to confirm that the Gu family was connected to Beiyan, and using Lu Chen and the Lu Family Nursing Home as bait, he discovered some traces of the Procuratorate's elaborate work.

But these were not enough. Li Jin could not confirm how many Beiyan Xizuo were in Guangling City and how many of them were hiding in the Gu family.

The spies of the Prosecutor's Office are not stupid, especially those who are still lurking now are experienced veterans. If there is too much movement, they will definitely notice it, and then the previous efforts may be wasted.

Lu Chen said calmly: "So I have thought of a way in the past two days, but I don't know if it is feasible."

Li Jin quickly said: "You say it."

Lu Chen said: "The Gu family is not monolithic. Although Gu Zisi and Gu Junye are cautious enough, the second son of the Gu family is not that kind of person, and it is impossible for him to know anything about the family affairs."

Li Jin perked up and whispered, "You mean, we first secretly arrested Gu Junhui, tried to pry open his mouth, and then relied on his confession to get Gu Zisi and Gu Junye to confess?"

"No, it's more complicated."

Lu Chen said calmly: "If you want to touch the Gu family, you must first obtain the consent of the governor. This is not just an official issue. Without the help of the governor, it will be difficult for us to find flaws in the Gu family. According to the In my opinion, as long as we can first convince the governor, and then invite the Gu family and his son to the government office in his name, and at the same time seize the time difference to let Gu Junhui speak, and then in turn persuade the Gu family and his son, this matter will be more secure."

Li Jin listened carefully at first, but his expression soon changed.

Why does this method become more familiar to me?

Wait... isn't this the method used by those in the previous detailed crime to frame the Lu family?

When Lu Chen saw this, he smiled and said: "Brother Li should have thought of it. I am following my example or reciprocating with courtesy. However, the Lu family is innocent and they can only rack their brains to frame them, but the Gu family is different, so we don't need to It takes too much time and effort to prepare.”

Li Jin laughed and said, "If it goes through, the people in the Puppet Yan Procuratorate will not lose unjustly."

Lu Chen skipped this section and said calmly: "Brother Li, please don't take it lightly. Collaboration with the enemy and the country is a serious crime that can lead to confiscation and beheading. The Gu family and his son may not plead guilty easily. Therefore, we must be prepared. If the Gu family and his son insist on not relenting, then We must rush into Gu's house immediately and seize the details of the fake Yan."

Although it was all a forced break-in, after Gu Junhui's confession and the fact that the Gu family and his son were forced to stay in the government office, it would be much easier for Gu Zhai with no one in charge of the overall situation.

Li Jin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Okay, I will allocate manpower as soon as possible."

Lu Chen then said: "I'm going to find a way to convince the Palace Master that you figure out the whereabouts of the second son of the Gu family. In addition, you have to continue to send people to keep an eye on Gu's house and other suspicious places. After the Palace Master agrees, we can catch him in advance. Gu Junhui, while waiting for the Gu family and his son to go to the government office for a banquet, this time should be enough to deal with Gu Junhui."

Li Jin nodded in agreement, and then said: "This is a serious matter. I have asked people to go north to ask Mr. Su for instructions three days ago. But please rest assured, brother Lu, Mr. Su hates traitors the most, and he will definitely agree to our plan. ."

"Okay, then let's split up. Brother Li, time is urgent and don't delay, otherwise I'm worried that the fake Yan spies will cause big trouble."

The two people's eyes met. Li Jin stood up and bowed his hands: "Don't worry!"

Lu Chen stood up and slowly let out a breath.
