Chapter 14 014 [Fight of Trapped Beasts]

The spring rain came, and the room felt slightly cold.

It was late spring, and there was still a bit of coolness in the air in Jiangbei.

Lu Chen sat in front of the window, staring at the smoke in the drizzle, listening to the continuous sound of rain, and thinking about something quite interesting in his mind.

More than a month ago, he was seriously ill and dying, but now it is as if nothing happened and he has not felt any discomfort during this period of time.

On the one hand, it should be related to the origin of the strange disease, and on the other hand, it shows that his current body is stronger than ordinary people.

After all, the Lu family is not short of money, and he must have been able to keep up with his nutrition since childhood.

Suddenly, a group of people broke into his sight in the distance. After Lu Chen saw the appearance of the person in the middle, his expression became solemn.

The rain curtains swayed lightly in the wind, and the drizzle slid down along the eaves of their umbrellas, hanging into strands, and finally fell into the soil.

When they arrived at the corridor outside the door, two spies responsible for guarding Lu Chen came forward, bowed their hands and said, "I have met Mr. Gu."

Gu Yong looked stern and said indifferently: "Is Lu Chen inside?"

The spy responded.

Gu Yong made a gesture and was about to go in. The spy quickly turned sideways to stop him, lowered his head and said, "Master Gu, please stop."

Gu Yong frowned slightly, and his tone became colder: "Before Mr. Su left, he ordered me to be fully responsible for the Lu family's crimes. Didn't you receive the notice?"

The spy said awkwardly: "I understand, but the inspector has other instructions and Lu Chen is not allowed to see other people."

"Master Su's order does need to be obeyed." Gu Yong said perfunctorily, and then said in a deep voice: "But since I am in charge of this case now, it is only right to ask Lu Chen for details. If you stop me again, don't blame me for punishing you according to the company's internal rules. .”

The two spies looked at each other, then looked at Gu Yong's gloomy expression and the vigorous master behind him, and had no choice but to step aside.

Gu Yong said: "You come in with me so that you can bear witness in front of Mr. Su."

He took the two of them and two other confidants into the side room, while the rest were responsible for clearing the surroundings to avoid being disturbed by irrelevant people.

The sky is misty and the rain is deep, adding a bit of a chilling atmosphere.

Gu Yong came outside and saw Lu Chen who was calmly facing him at a glance.

He pulled a high chair and placed it in the room, sat down on it, and then slightly raised his head to look at the young man in front of him, with a sharp light in his eyes.The two confidants, one on the left and one on the right, stared at Lu Chen silently, obviously not intending to give him a chance to sit down.

Lu Chen remained calm in his heart, with a hint of confusion on his face, as if he didn't understand why this tense atmosphere came about.

"Master Lu is living a very comfortable life these days."

Gu Yong opened the conversation indifferently, and then the topic changed: "But you should not forget that you are still a suspect in the custody of the Weaving Department to this day. I know that you may have someone to rely on, but now the case is complicated and difficult to advance. I hope you can Cooperate with the inquiry, otherwise you may have to experience the methods of the Warp Weaver Division."

What are the methods of the Warp Weaver?

It was probably all kinds of horrific torture.

Lu Chen nodded and said calmly: "My lord, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Yong asked: "Who have you seen in Puppet Yan territory?"

Lu Chen said: "I led my caravan to the Tieshan City of Pseudo-Yan on the fifth day of February. I fell mysteriously ill and fell unconscious that night. At the end of February, I luckily recovered from my illness and then set off back to Daqi. On the ninth day of March, I passed by Panlong Passed the customs and entered the country. On March [-]th, I met Mr. Gu in the northern suburbs outside the city. I did not make any acquaintance with the pseudo-Yan family during this trip, as everyone in the caravan can testify."

He looked at Gu Yong's cold eyes and continued: "My lord has checked everyone in the caravan that day, and you should know that I am not lying."

"It is true that we did not gain anything that day." Gu Yong did not deny it, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Yesterday, the magistrate summoned those people and re-examined them. There were some unexpected discoveries that may be of interest to you."

Lu Chen said calmly: "My lord, please make it clear."

Gu Yong said: "On the tenth day of March, after nightfall, you and a group of guys rummaged through the items carried by the caravan, and finally found a letter in your own carriage. Is this relevant?"

Lu Chen really didn't expect that the other party would suddenly say these words, but it was not enough to make him panic, so he said calmly: "It is true."

Gu Yong raised his lips and chuckled, and said meaningfully: "The man also confessed that after he found the envelope, you, the young master, decided to reward him with 20 taels of silver. This shows that this letter is very important. "

Lu Mo remained silent.

He still remembered the excitement and excitement on the young man's face after he found the envelope that night at the Wuhe County Inn in Baoying Prefecture.

Gu Yong didn't care about his silence and continued: "Someone also told me that after you arrived in the northern suburbs outside the city, Sun Yu, the boy next to your father, suddenly appeared, and then you had someone take him away. Is there anything like this? ?”

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Yong crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with sharp eyes: "Lu Chen, I think you should explain these two things clearly."

Lu Chen did not hesitate and replied calmly: "Mr. Gu, the search for envelopes is just out of the Lu family's cautious habits for many years. My family's company walks between Daqi and Pseudo-Yan, and has always been careful not to exceed the rules. If you don’t check it yourself, you will feel uneasy.”

Gu Yong's tone suddenly became cold and stern: "Where is that letter now?"

The two confidants took a step forward and approached within three feet of Lu Chen.

Lu Chenyan said concisely and concisely: "Burn it."

Gu Yong stood up slowly, feeling a sense of oppression coming over his face, and said in a cold voice: "What was written in the letter?"

Lu Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I have already reported this matter to Su Jianxiao, and he told me not to tell anyone else."

"Quiet words and seductive words!" Gu Yong pressed forward step by step: "I will ask you again, why is that young boy Sun Yu looking for you? Why did you order someone to take him away?"

Lu Chen hesitated and said: "It's just a family matter." Gu Yong sneered: "You don't even tell me, I know it. This is the first time you lead a caravan to Pseudo-Yan. The craftsman from the north put the secret message into your carriage as usual. . When you returned, Zhang Xi was exposed and captured. Your father hurriedly sent people north to inform you to destroy the secret letter. On the day of your return, Lu Tong was invited to the government office. Knowing that something was not going well, he sent A young man went out of the city to spread the news."

Lu Chen was a little surprised.

Gu Yong's mind was not slow. After Su Yunqing left the day before yesterday, he immediately seized the opportunity to interrogate the Lu family caravan, and he must have used some means to find out what happened to the caravan on its way back.

Lu Chen was not angry because of this. He understood that ordinary people had no ability to stand up to such cruel officials.When Su Yunqing was around, Gu Yong still had to worry about the chief officer's thoughts. Now that the mountain above his head has been removed, he certainly doesn't have to worry about what's ahead and what's next.

After getting these two pieces of information, Gu Yong could justifiably make up this rhetoric and barely wrap up the conspiracy.

Lu Chen was still a little curious before. The other party already knew the missing secret letter and also knew that Sun Yu was hidden by him. Especially the existence of Sun Yu could easily remind people of Gu Yong who appeared at the right time. I just don’t know how Gu Yong will clear himself from suspicion.

I see……

Seeing the other party staring at him eagerly, Lu Chen still did not panic. He glanced at the two spies in front of him who were responsible for guarding him, and then said to Gu Yong: "Master Gu's guess is not accurate. I just thought about it and thought it was better not to tell you. The truth of the matter is better.”

"presumptuous!"

The confidant on the left has endured it until now, but finally can no longer endure it.

As a secret agent of the Sutra Weaving Department, he had tortured countless suspects, including some high-ranking officials of the third and fourth grades.

No matter what the other party's character is, dozens of specially-made torture instruments are served in turn, and few people can grit their teeth - this confidant only knows that Marshal Yang, who guarded Northern Xinjiang, was tortured for two days and three nights after he was imprisoned more than ten years ago. He never said a word, and his integrity could be called iron-clad.

As for the young man in front of him, he is just the son of a mere merchant. How could the Warp Weaving Department allow him to show off like this?

The confidant shouted loudly, then stepped forward and reached out with his right hand to grab Lu Chen's wrist.

The expressions of the two spies responsible for guarding Lu Chen changed slightly, and they quickly said to Gu Yong: "Sir, please calm down!"

Of course Gu Yong could stop this person's movements. After all, this subordinate did not use all his strength and was not as fast as lightning - but he did nothing and just looked at Lu Chen indifferently.

The next moment, the mutation mutated.

The moment the man attacked, Lu Chen took a step back. At the same time, he stepped aside to let go of the grasp. He clenched his right hand into a fist and struck the opponent on the shoulder.

Lu Chen's body swayed slightly, but the spy from the Sutra Weaving Department took a step back.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

The repulsed spy rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, the contempt in his eyes disappeared.

The so-called expert can tell if there is something wrong as soon as he makes a move. Although the seemingly gentle young man in front of him is not a master, he must have had experience in martial arts. He has a solid foundation and good strength.

Gu Yong's eyes narrowed slightly. Among the information he had, there was no record that Lu Chen had any experience in martial arts.

A small Lu family actually hides secrets that even the Sutra Weaving Department has not recorded?

The most surprised person in the room was none other than Lu Chen. He was even slightly lost in thought at this moment.

The moment the man took action, he wanted to use his experience in facing enemies in his previous life to deal with it, because Gu Yong clearly had bad intentions, and he could not pin his own safety on baseless speculations.What if the other party had the mission to kill him and pretended to have failed afterwards, could he still question Su Yunqing underground?
However, he did not expect that when a crisis came, his body would respond instinctively in an instant, as naturally as eating and drinking.

It's just that since time traveling, he has never encountered such face-to-face danger. Li Chengen and others knew that he had just recovered from a serious illness, so they would not ask him to practice and spar. No one mentioned this to him, including those who loved him very much. Lu Tong is included.

Among the memory fragments that Lu Chen could still recall, there was no such memory.

After being stunned, Lu Chen quickly calmed down. The situation in front of him was not optimistic. Even if he had some boxing skills, he could not be the opponent of the secret agent of the Weaving Department.

At this time, the two spies were already standing in front of Lu Chen and said seriously: "Master Gu, Master Su has repeatedly warned Mr. Lu not to cause any harm. Please calm down."

This sentence was neither light nor serious, and it seemed that it was not enough to completely calm Gu Yong.

The atmosphere became more and more solemn. Gu Yong recalled the words of the Huayuelou clerk and his eyes gradually narrowed.

Lu Chen looked at him quietly.

Just when the two spies were breathing heavily and thought that a conflict was about to break out, Gu Yong suddenly let out a breath and said quietly: "How could I disobey Mr. Su's order? Lu Chen, I will give you a little more time. I hope you will cherish this precious opportunity and consider it carefully."

Even Lu Chen didn't expect this change.

The opponent was obviously on the verge of breaking out, but to be able to restrain himself at this time really required a lot of endurance.

Gu Yong turned around and walked out without looking at Lu Chen again.

When he led a group of men through the rain and disappeared, two men in black clothes appeared under the corridor to the south of the wing. One of them said, "Why didn't this guy do something?"

Another person said calmly: "I don't know. Maybe it was because he guessed that our internal guards were staying in Guangling, so he stopped at the cliff."

"What now?"

"The one named Gu is already a trapped beast. We will continue to follow the plan drawn up by the adults and take Sun Yu to Lu Zhai to show off. Some people will not be able to bear it after all."

"Hey, no wonder the boss praised Lu Jiazi so much. Such a torturous trick is in line with the style of our warp weaving department."

"A lot of nonsense."

……

The figures of the two people quickly disappeared. The spring rain gradually stopped, and tranquility returned to the world.
