MTL - Protect Our Patriarch-Chapter 28 Yingxiu Lu's
……
The reaction of this casual cultivator was really beyond Wang Shouzhe's expectation, and his face immediately became gloomy: "It seems that what you committed in Yingxiu is not trivial."
"My lord, I'm not good, but I'm greedy." Sanxiu confessed in tears, "We are all businessmen walking together. When we passed by Yingxiu, we saw a wealthy merchant's wife who was getting married. Originally, we were married. A few of us were leaving after begging for a glass of water and wine. Unexpectedly, we found that the dowry was very rich. There were hundreds of dollars in dry gold alone, and there were two valuable plants of century-old ginseng. I waited for a moment to have evil thoughts, I sneaked into the rich merchant to steal at night..."
After the confession, Wang Shouzhe's face became darker and darker, and this group of casual repairs was too bold. After the theft was discovered, he even dared to kill and plunder wealth.
Fortunately, the few casual cultivators started fighting because of greed, and in the end this casual cultivator had the last laugh. It's just that he was very unlucky, and he was hit by Wang Shouzhe and his party when he was dealing with the wound in the densely sparsely populated forest.
"My lord, as long as you swear to spare me a dog's life." San Xiu begged for mercy, "I am willing to provide the place where the stolen goods are hidden, and I will enshrine everything to you."
This casual cultivator seems to know the behavior style of some Xuanwu families very well. If Wang Shouzhe swears in front of several generals under his command, he will definitely not go back.
Otherwise, if a patriarch can renounce the vows, how would these families feel? Can you believe the words of the Patriarch from now on?
Wang Zhong and several other generals also cast their eyes on Wang Shouzhe, with some hope in their eyes. The value of the stolen goods is not small, if you can get it, you can alleviate the situation of Wang's lack of money.
Wang Shouzhe just thought for a while, then turned on his horse: "Take him with him and hand it over to Yingxiu Lu's disposal."
"Yes, Patriarch." Wang Zhong only stunned for a moment, and loyally fulfilled his mission, gagging his casual repair mouth, and throwing himself on the horseback despite his struggles.
"Drive!"
The coachman king honestly threw his whip, and the two horse-drawn carriages moved slowly on the rugged and muddy road.
After a short walk, Wang Zhong rode his horse behind Wang Shouzhe and asked in a low voice: "Patriarch, are we really going to give up the stolen goods? If you are afraid of getting dirty hands, let your subordinates handle them. Just give me some time and keep them. He spit out the hiding place."
"Our time is precious. We don't have time to accompany a casual repairman to play a treasure game." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "and Wang Zhong, as a Xuanwu family, should take a long-term view. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Therefore, we will suffer ten times, a hundred times the loss of the stolen money if we are guilty of Lu's! The most important thing is, if we are ignorant of our conscience and greedy the stolen money and let go of the thieves, how can we be worthy of Zhou Xuan who opened up the land and established the family Patriarch? How can you be worthy of the Longyan Patriarch who has guarded the family for decades?"
This is the problem of family beliefs. The biggest belief of most families is to open up the family’s ancestors.
Wang Zhong's body was shocked, and he was ashamed and said: "Subordinates understand, it is the subordinates who are blinded by benefits."
"Human nature is greedy, but how to restrain greed is very important." Wang Shouzhe said indifferently. Self-discipline, I was lucky enough to escape this time, can I escape the second time, the third time?"
"Patriarch, if those casual cultivators escaped once, wouldn't it be okay if they don't commit crimes in the future?" Wang Yong rode up and said.
"There may be such people, but it must be a very small number." Wang Shouzhe smiled, "Imagine that he couldn't resist the first temptation, let alone the second temptation that has tasted the sweetness? That kind of greed will sooner or later. Let them be destroyed. I don't want the stolen money, or simply dare not ask for it, because I am afraid that I can't control my greed and will gradually lead the family to ruin."
Several generals were plunged into contemplation, and there was a look of admiration in Wang Shouzhe's eyes.
Wang Zhong said with emotion: "Patriarch, the subordinates have a hunch that our Ping An Wang clan will inevitably rise in the hands of the Patriarch."
"Hehe, although your flattery is rough, your patriarch is very useful."
"Patriarch, I'm not flattering, I really think so."
"Yes, yeah, Patriarch, we think so too." The other generals all agreed.
at the same time.
Inside the carriage, Wang Luojing, who had already woken up to witness and hear all of this, looked thoughtful at the same time. With the fourth brother, I always feel so at ease and practical.
Nothing else, even if it’s just for the fourth brother, Luojing ah Luojing, you must work hard to share the burden on your shoulders for the fourth brother.
……
Within half an hour.
Wang Shouzhe and his party came out of the woods and walked onto the wide road.
The first thing that catches the eye is the vast and endless Yingxiu Lake. The reflection of the towering Longji Mountain falls in the water, dyeing the lake water into dark green. The lake breeze rushes towards the face with water vapor, and it is chilly in this early summer season.
On the wide lake, from time to time, a big fish leaped up and exploded a large splash of water. A variety of waterfowl swam in the dense reeds.
There is no doubt that Yingxiu Lake is not only beautiful in scenery, but also rich in natural resources. Compared with the magnificence of Anjiang's endless torrents, Yingxiu Lake is more magnificent and graceful.
At this time, a team of knights in the distance rushed forward and stopped in front of Wang Shouzhe and his party.
"Call!"
The head of is a man in his early thirties with a strong costume. He carries a sword with a strong bow on his back, and his aura is extraordinary. When I saw Wang Shouzhe, I was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed happily: "Zhe'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become a lot more heroic. It seems that after becoming a patriarch, your temperament is different."
"Uncle, why bother you to come and pick it up in person." Wang Shouzhe hurriedly arched his hands.
This man is Wang Shouzhe's biological mother, Lu Mengxue's brother-in-law, Lu Zhengjie, the pillar of the young and middle-aged generation of Lu in Yingxiu. Only in his early thirties, he has reached the strength of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and it is an existence that is expected to break through to the Lingtai Realm.
Some time ago, he rushed to Ping'an Town to participate in the funeral of Wang Dingyue. Naturally, he and Wang Shouzhe were separated not long ago.
"Is it to pick you up?" Lu Zhengjie's smile solidified. "A few days ago, a group of gangsters posing as gangsters killed a family of seven wealthy merchants. We followed the clues and found that they had fled to the mountain. Yang Xiangqiang is looking into this matter. I have heard the report about your coming to Yingxiu. Go and see your uncle by yourself. I have no time to accompany you back now."
"This is a coincidence." Wang Shouzhe smiled, "I just came from Shanyang, and I happened to catch a criminal on the way. Under the preliminary interrogation, it should be the same group of criminals as my uncle said."
"What?" Lu Zhengjie was slightly surprised.
Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe handed the criminal to Lu Zhengjie, and narrated the ins and outs of the incident: "I will leave the offender to my uncle, but he has hidden the stolen goods. It is inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter. Send someone to interrogate."
"In this way, it will save trouble, Lu Yi, the next thing is left to you, try to recover the property, and give the survivors of the rich business an account." Lu Zhengjie gave a pleasant surprise.
The Xuanwu family has various privileges in the local area, but it also shoulders the responsibility of protecting the civilians under its jurisdiction.
"Yes, the second master." A man with a sullen and fierce complexion came out and grinned cruelly. "This thief is so bold that he dared to commit crimes on our Lushi site~www.novelbuddy.com~ In my hands, I will take care of him to survive but not to die."
Such harsh words made Wang Shouzhe look at him more.
"Lu Yi has a lot of experience in torture." Lu Zhengjie said with a smile, "You can send a qualified family general to study."
Regarding this, Wang Shouzhe is noncommittal.
If it is purely the torture aspect, Wang Shouzhe's "knowledge" is still very rich, and there are many miscellaneous knowledge in this direction. After all, modern criminal investigation dramas, spy dramas...There are too many similar sections, and the methods are quite scientific.化的.
didn't get too entangled in this matter. Now that the task of arresting the fugitive has been completed, Lu Zhengjie personally led Wang Shouzhe back to the main house of Yingxiu Lu's family.
Compared to the Shanyang Gongsun who built the main house on the mountainside, it is quite solid. The main house of Lu's family in Yingxiu was built on the peninsula of Yingxiu Lake, surrounded by water on three sides, and one man was in charge of it.
Purely in terms of blood relationship, Wang Shouzhe has a deep connection with Lu's, and here he will naturally receive a high-level hospitality.
Before entering the door, a girl in red rushed out and plunged into Wang Shouzhe's arms: "Cousin Shouzhe, I miss you with a smile."
Lu smiled!
Lu Zhengxiong, the contemporary patriarch, is an old woman who is the most favored.
But before Wang Shouzhe had time to speak, Wang Luojing, who was hiding behind him, suddenly took his hand: "Fourth brother, Jing'er is a little uncomfortable."
uncomfortable?
Wang Shouzhe was taken aback, and hurriedly took her little hand and said with concern: "Where is Luojing uncomfortable? Could it be that he was sleeping in the carriage..."
was only halfway through the words, but found that the eyes of the two girls met, the hostility between each other was not concealed, sparks flew everywhere.
