Chapter 166 A crooked strike (and oneness, please subscribe~ask for a monthly pass~)

"Master!"

Lu Gong ran to Lu Ci Qiangqiang with a face full of panic, "Lu Liang, Lu Liang is gone!!!"

In his voice, there were three points of panic, three points of bewilderment, three points of hatred and a trace of fear.

Almost a month has passed since Lu Liang was imprisoned. During this month, the entire Lu family was very unhappy because of Lu Huan's death.

Because Lu Ci was very fond of his own blood, he did not agree to impose that kind of irreversible punishment on Lu Liang until he found the real evidence of Lu Liang's attack.But just torturing and reading memories really couldn't do anything to Lu Liang, so after a while, most people stopped paying so much attention to Lu Liang's affairs.

Only Lu Gong still communicated with him in the process of delivering meals to Lu Liang every day.

Of course, he was not trying to avenge Lu Liang, but was constantly beating Lu Liang and persuading him to confess.Because of Lu Liang's incident, he can't hold his head up 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 gone!

This surprise is no small matter, Lu Liang is a repeat offender of the Lu family!
So he immediately ran to report to Lu Ci.

"Oh? Missing?"

Lu Ci's tone didn't fluctuate at all, as if to say that today's weather is good.

"Grandfather, Lu Liang killed Xiao Huan, and now he is still fleeing in fear of crime, we have to catch him back quickly!"

Lu Gong eagerly suggested beside him, as if he was afraid that if he reacted slowly, he would be regarded as the accomplice who let Lu Liang go.

"Absconding in fear of crime..."

Lu Ci was noncommittal about this word, "Arrested, of course we must be arrested. But as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. You can do this matter secretly, and you must not make a big show of it."

"Yes, I understand!"

After Lu Gong took the order and left, another figure came out from the room.

"Father let Lu Liang go on purpose?"

Lu Zhong asked tentatively.

"Hmph, since you can't find out about this matter, and he has been complaining, I might as well give him a chance to investigate by himself. The blood of the Lu family cannot be lost for no apparent reason."

Lu Ci narrowed his one eye into a slit, covering the flickering cold light.

"If he can prove his innocence, that would be the best, and we will have a target for revenge. If he can't, next time he is caught, he will be dealt with directly according to the clan rules! You can make arrangements, and don't let the people in the clan There are too many good players."

"Yes, father."

……

……

The family ugliness is not publicized, and Lu Ci's idea is indeed good, but it is a pity that there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

Not long after, an unexpected person came to his door.

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Ci looked at Wang Ai who seemed to be thinner than before, and his breath became more sinister, and frowned.

"Hey, brother Lu, don't make such an expression."

Wang Ai sat down on the Eight Immortals chair opposite Lu Ci without seeing anything else, "Our two families are grasshoppers on the same rope now!"

"what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Brother Lu, you are also a smart person, we smart people don't speak dark words."

Wang Ai chuckled twice, "You and I have known each other since we were young, and we have been friends for nearly a hundred years. Although you used to have a somewhat impulsive personality and cruel means, you were not crazy. Since when did you become a 'Mad Dog'?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ci's half-closed eyes suddenly opened a gap, and the brilliance in them almost burst out, which was extremely attractive.

"You came today to mention these old things to me?"

He reached out to pick up the cup of tea on the table, as if wanting to drink.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Lu,"

Wang Ai hurriedly stopped Lu Ci's movements, "You said it was an old story, and I agree with that, but some people don't think so. Didn't the recent incidents in your family make you vigilant?"

"Do you know who did this?!"

Suddenly, a murderous aura erupted from Lu Ci's body.

"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. Such a little aura still couldn't scare him.

He said unhurriedly: "Although I don't know who did it, there is no doubt that the black hand behind the scenes should be the same person who attacked my Wang family before."

"How to say?"

Lu Ci is not so easy to fool, just relying on a guess is like making him admit it is absolutely impossible.

"There's one thing you might not know."

Wang Ai's face showed a look of reminiscence, "The first attack our Wang family encountered was not Tu Junfang, but before that, when the Southwest Branch of the Tianxiahui was first established. I sent a fairly strong The younger generation went to cause them some trouble, but disappeared inexplicably on the way, which should be the reason why they raided us so smoothly later. 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 they attack my Lu family?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Lu Ci's face.

"I suspect that the other party is a descendant of those people back then."

Wang Ai moved closer and said in a low voice.

The people he mentioned were of course thirty-six thieves. 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 Wonders, it makes no sense not to target the Feng family, but come to deal with us."

"Hmph, have you been domineering all these years, and you still have few enemies?"

Lu Ci scoffed at Wang Ai's remarks.

"You are wrong,"

Wang Ai explained, "I admit that the Wang family has indeed acted in a high-profile manner in recent years and offended some people. But who among those people is qualified to be our enemy? None of them! , have this ability!"

Although this statement sounds arrogant, but 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 rage: "Brother Lu, although you and I don't know the power of those other miraculous skills, at least we shouldn't doubt their power, right? There is such a secret You have been staring at me, can you feel at ease?"

After a long silence, Lu Ci asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Find out who's behind the scenes!"

Wang Ai replied without thinking, apparently she had made up her mind long ago.

"How to find it? I remember that even if the company intervenes, it has not been able to find Tu Junfang so far."

"The company has its own rules. There are many things they want to do, but they can't. But we can do what they can't do!"

There was a cunning light in Wang Ai's eyes, "The easiest way to find someone is nothing more than divination. Brother Lu, would you like to go to Wuhou Village with me?"

"Wuhou Qimen..."

After thinking for a while, Lu Ci chose to agree to Wang Ai's proposal for the safety of the family.

……

……

Jiande, Wuhou Village.

The heads of Lu and Wang, the second of the four major families, came to visit together, and naturally received a grand reception from Zhuge's family.

It even alarmed the old Patriarch Zhuge Liuyun to come forward in person.

"Brother Lu, Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for many years, you two look as good as ever!"

Zhuge Liuyun is a thin old man with white hair and white beard, a fairy-like bone, and a pair of natural squinting eyes that look very kind.

"Ah, brother Zhuge is making a mistake!"

Wang Ai said, "Where we can compare to where you cultivated in meditation, you can relax without asking about anything. I've been so worried recently!"

As soon as he said this, Zhuge Liuyun's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, when he saw Wang Ai coming to the door, he had guessed about the purpose of the two of them. After all, as the head of the clan, it was impossible for him to be like Wang Ai said. Door method.Some time ago, such a big thing happened in the Wang family, so he naturally knew about it.

Not only did he know, but even when the company sent someone to ask for help, he even went out to make a fortune himself.

However, because Chi Yao had already been reminded by Lu Jin in advance at that time, and stayed together with Tu Junfang inseparably, counting Tu Junfang was tantamount to counting Chi Yao.If it wasn't for Zhuge Liuyun being very vigilant because of Master Hu's lessons learned, maybe the Zhuge family would have to change their head.

therefore……

Zhuge Liuyun smiled wryly and said: "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry about your family's affairs. I made a divination myself, but I still can't figure out the other party's details. I can only say that the other party's attainments in strange arts are stronger than ours! "

Hearing his words, Wang Ai and Lu Ci looked at each other.

"As expected of the most famous magician in the circle, although brother Zhuge can't figure out the details of the person behind the scenes, he can figure out our thoughts clearly."

Wang Ai smiled softly, "But it's not me, but Brother Lu, who has something to invite today."

"Oh? Brother Lu?"

Zhuge Liuyun was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lu Ci was here to give Wang Ai a platform, after all the four big families are in the same breath!

In the domestic circle of aliens, in terms of family power alone, the Zhuge family and the Tang family in central Shu are not inferior to the four families of Wang, Lu, Lu, and Gao. If they are ranked completely according to strength , can be made into six families or more.

But the reason why they have always been the four major families is mainly because they have always been family friends, and they have been a small circle of mutual help for many years.This established their unshakable position, although after Lu Jin took charge of the family, the Lu family gradually became estranged from the Wang and Lu families.

"I don't know what's wrong with Brother Lu, but as long as my Zhuge family can do what I can, I will never refuse."

Now that Wang Ai's request has been declined, it would be a little embarrassing for everyone to refuse twice in a row, so Zhuge Liuyun became generous to Lu Ci's side.

Anyway, he wouldn't let himself figure out the origin of the mastermind behind the scenes, would he?
"Since brother Zhuge said so, the old man will not be polite."

Lu Ci said, "A month ago, my great-granddaughter Lu Huan was murdered in Lu's Village. I want to know who the murderer is."

"Lu Huan? That cute little girl died?"

Zhuge Liuyun was startled when he heard that, as Lu Huan was the number one genius of the Lu family, he was also somewhat famous in their circle.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, this is my duty."

As soon as he said it, Zhuge Liuyun closed his eyes and fell into a samadhi on the spot, entering the inner scene.

Zhaozhao Mingming, in the chaotic interior world, Zhuge Liuyun asked silently in his heart: "Who is the murderer who killed Lu Huan?"

His mind was still not calm, and he saw a fireball that was so huge that it seemed to fill the whole world suddenly appeared, and it was still expanding, and it was about to suck himself into it!
Zhuge Liuyun suddenly felt that something was wrong, secretly said that he was unlucky, then turned around and fled, leaving the inner scene in a hurry.

"hu~hu~"

Opening and closing his eyes almost instantly, Zhuge Liuyun's complexion became pale, his mouth was still panting heavily, his expression was still in shock.

"Brother Zhuge, you are..."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Lu Ci and Wang Ai asked in puzzlement.

"Ugh……"

After taking a breath, Zhuge Liuyun looked helpless, "Brother Lu, I'm really sorry, I can't do anything about this matter."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"The person you want to count is not inferior to the person behind the scenes that Brother Wang is looking for. This kind of problem is really embarrassing for me."

Zhuge Liuyun smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Oh? So, the murderer who killed Xiao Huan is the same one who attacked the Wang family?" Lu Ci clenched his fists.

"Um... I can't be so sure, I can only say that they all have the same deep background and it is difficult to trace."

Zhuge Liuyun corrected.

"Is that so..."

Lu Ci lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, pondered for a while, and asked, "Is it difficult to trace or not? Brother Zhuge, if it's just difficult, I'm willing to pay a higher price for your help. "

"This……"

Zhuge Liuyun stroked his beard when he heard the words, "The two of you are not warlocks, so you may not be very clear about the difficulty of divination. Simply put, the greater the impact of an event on the world, the harder it is to get an accurate conclusion. The result. It is extremely rare that nothing is really calculated, but the answer that covers a very wide range is not very meaningful even if I tell you.”

"Like?"

"For example, Brother Wang wanted to find Tu Junfang. When the company was looking for me, I could figure out that he was in China. But what's the point?"

Zhuge Liuyun gave an example.

"Can't it be more precise?"

"Sorry, I can't do it."

"Hey... If that's the case, I'm bothering 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 one who is following your family is the man behind the attack on the Wang family!"

"You are indeed right, but now even Zhuge Liuyun can't figure out the other party's news, so what if you know?"

Lu Ci felt a little irritable.

Anyone who knows that his family is being targeted by such a person hiding in the dark is always in danger and will feel irritable, especially when the power possessed by the other party can support him to do this.

"Warlocks are not the only ones who can tell fortunes. Wizards, onmyojis, astrologers... We have many choices." Wang Ai smiled.

"You mean to find a foreign stranger?"

Lu Ci was a little surprised, "Do you have contacts from the Jade Institute?"

The Emerald Society, the largest wizarding organization in Europe, among which Isaac Tabor, the dean of Flamel College, is known as the greatest white wizard in Europe, and his status is almost the same as that of the old master in China.And their divination spells are also quite famous.

"It's a little difficult in Europe, but I can ask the onmyoji or the priest to look for it..."

Before Wang Ai finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Ci sternly: "Ask for help from a brat? It's impossible! My eldest brother was..."

"I am also very sad about Brother Lu, but it has 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 this before today. I'll deal with the Lu family's affairs on my own. Take care of yourself."

Looking at Lu Ci's back that was drifting away, Wang Ai's face was full of gloom.

"What time is it, I still can't recognize the situation. Just wait and see, there will always be a day when you will come to ask me for help!"
