At the end of Kuanrong Street is a wealthy area.

Lu Fu is also here, one of them.

The carriage drove all the way to the end of Kuanrong Street and entered a garden like area.

The gray white stone wall surrounds this area into a large ellipse.

The Lu Mansion is located on the left side of the entrance to the area.

The black gate and red lanterns, with white snow covering the two stone qilins at the entrance, make the mansion even more quiet and peaceful.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Lu Mansion, and Lu Sheng got out of the carriage. Someone had already heard the sound at the mansion gate and slowly opened it. There were attendants waiting at the door to greet him.

As soon as Lu Sheng and Xiao Xiao entered, they saw two handsome men and a woman standing on the stone bridge in the mansion on the right.

The man is handsome and dashing, with a jade like face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a strong Confucian temperament.

The woman is gentle and gentle, with a series of light smiles, picturesque features, slender waist and long legs, and also embodies the temperament of a noble lady.

Lu Sheng's train of thought slightly interrupted. Seeing those two people, he also felt a little better and took the initiative to walk over and say hello.

Brother Xu, my cousin has been thinking of you for quite some time. Why did she only come today? "He walked up the stone bridge with a smile.

The man turned his head and saw Lu Sheng, laughing.

It's Mr. Sheng. He was ordered to investigate a case before it was settled, so he came to see Yiyi. Don't blame me, no one can disobey the orders from above

Case? Is there any major case in the city recently? Is it necessary for Mr. Xu to personally mobilize labor? "Lu Sheng knew the location of Mr. Xu Daoran.

He is the county magistrate responsible for coordinating all public security in Tongzhi County under the jurisdiction of Jiuliancheng.

The position of county magistrate is only under the county magistrate, equivalent to the chief of public security in the entire Tongzhi County.

The cases of a few small fishing villages have already been settled, "Xu Daoran smiled gently." It's Xiao Sheng. When are you planning to help me, Brother? You promised to come out and help me manage the security planning in Tongzhi before

Lu Sheng didn't remember what his body had promised before, so he quickly responded with a laugh and changed the topic.

Fishing village, could it be that rumor of some water ghost causing trouble

There's no such thing as a water ghost, he's just a lunatic. He's driven crazy by hatred and has been plotting to kill people everywhere, and I've already killed him on the spot, "Xu Daoran shook his head lightly." The case has been settled, so let's not talk about these disappointing things. Xiaosheng, do you remember what I promised Yiyi last time

Go to Honglian Temple to offer incense and go for a walk

Lu Sheng quickly responded with a smile.

You remember all these fun activities quite well, "Xu Daoran said helplessly." You're quite old now, are you nineteen this year? You should find some work to do, can't you live like this for the rest of your life

He grew up watching Lu Sheng from a young age, and due to the long-standing friendship between the two families, he has always regarded Lu Sheng as his younger brother.

At this moment, I couldn't help but advise.

Lu Sheng shook his head and smiled.

Brother Xu, do you want me to join the government or go into business

Of course, it's to enter the officialdom, which is also your father's wish. Your uncle, your uncle, they all hope that you can go out and help them as soon as possible.

After all, you are the eldest son of the Lu family

Xu Daoran advised.

Not mentioning this matter, not in a hurry, not in a hurry. I'm still young, so there's no reason to push my eldest son out so urgently

Lu Sheng didn't care and argued recklessly.

Xu Daoran and Lu Yiyi are both speechless, so it's hard to talk about him anymore.

Lu Sheng didn't want to continue the topic of entering the officialdom, so he took the initiative to change the subject and headed towards his bedroom with Xiao Bao.

Returning to the bedroom, he changed his clothes, took the pebble, and did not go to visit his old father. Instead, he went alone to the backyard.

Xu Daoran comes from the Xu family and, like the Lu family, is a first-class wealthy family in this northern city of Jiulian. His family has many branches and leaves, with people holding important positions throughout the city.

Lu Sheng has a good impression of Xu Daoran. He is a kind-hearted person with no selfish intentions, and he really likes Yi Yi.

Lu Sheng is as friendly to him as a big brother.

Just

Lu Sheng held the pebble and remembered the scene he had seen before, as well as the death process of the water ghost he had heard at the city gate.

Are there ghosts or immortals in this world

He looked at the snowy garden with an indescribable sense of frustration in his heart.

Perhaps as Brother Xu said, it's just a misunderstanding

He shook his head, ultimately harboring a glimmer of luck in his heart.

In the evening, he went back to his room early, washed up, and went to bed.

Today's events left him confused for a moment, with too many things on his mind and people getting tired quickly.

Sleeping until the next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Dongdong dong, Dongdong dong dong!!

A hurried knock on the door sounded.

Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the bed, and looked outside the door.

Who

Young master is not doing well! "Was a small voice.

Lu Sheng quickly got out of bed and went to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Xiao Bao's face was frighteningly pale, without any blood color.

The little girl's chubby face was trembling violently at this moment.

Xu... Xu... Xu

As soon as Lu Sheng saw it, a faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

What's going on? Let's breathe a sigh of relief first

He reached out and patted Xiao Xiao's back hard.

The small size makes the breath smoother.

Speak with a tearful tone.

The Xu family... the Xu family, it's all over

Lu Sheng was taken aback.

Xiao Xiao quickly put on Lu Sheng's coat, and the two of them ran to the outer mansion without saying a word.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Fang, stood outside the mansion with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy with a hint of trembling.

There were three black double row carriages parked beside him.

Lu Sheng, along with other cousins in the mansion, quickly saluted Lu and everyone got into the carriage.

Lu Fang and Lu Sheng sat together, father and son, lost in thought and not saying a word in the carriage.

Lu Fang is over sixty years old, with white beard on his face, a slender figure, and a handsome face. He looks more like a literati than a merchant.
