Chapter 940 Father and Son

But said that after Lu Aotian returned to Fengdu City with a pack of jelly beans, he would knock one at a time, and one at a time.

Hey, it's knocking.

Jelly beans are so delicious.

Master Lu feels that his life has reached its peak!

As he walked, he took steps that his relatives did not recognize.

Then, he returned to the Huosha Gate.

"I seem to be in the wrong place!"

He turned and left blankly.

"Master Lu Sect."

The black-robed guard at the door stopped him calmly.

Lu Aotian was hesitant, stuffed his jelly beans into his bosom and hid them, then turned around and looked at him, as if I only recognized him.

He looked at the plaque on the top, and then at the black-robed guard: "So this is the Huoshamen. I didn't see my own disciple, so I thought I went wrong."

The black-robed guard said: "The city lord welcomes you."

"How does the city lord know..."

Lu Aotian swallowed his words halfway through his muttering.

He thought that he hadn't been followed all the way, where did the city lord get the news of his return to the island?

He admitted that he was a little overwhelmed by knocking jelly beans, and wandered around Fengdu City a few more times.

But it's not like this will be discovered by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, right?

"Master Lu?" Seeing that he was silent, the black-robed guard called him.

Lu Aotian said: "I've been floating on the sea for so long, and I smell like salted fish. I'll go back and take a shower first, change into clean clothes, and then go see the city lord!"

The black-robed guard said: "No need, the City Lord wants to see the Lu Sect Master immediately."

Lu Aotian bit the bullet and said: "Okay... okay, let's go!"

Lu Aotian followed the black-robed guards to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord sits at the head of the council hall.

It was getting late at this time, and candle lights were held in the meeting hall.

The dim light fell on the majestic face of the city lord, making the already serious man even more stern and awe-inspiring.

After the black-robed guards brought Lu Aotian into the meeting hall, they retreated consciously.

Lu Aotian bowed his hands to the person seated: "I have seen the city lord."

There is only one city in Qianshan Island, and there is only one master in the city.

The other party is the lord of the city in name, but actually the lord of the entire island.

All sects must obey his orders, and all islanders must obey his rule.

No matter how violent Lu Aotian is, he won't be unhappy in front of him.

The city lord said: "Master Lu, it's been hard work going out for Da Zhou."

Lu Aotian cleared his throat, and said: "I failed to complete the task smoothly, and I failed the city lord's entrustment."

The city lord asked again: "When did the master of Lumen go to the island?"

Lu Aotian said: "Just now, I got off the boat when it was getting dark."

The city owner said: "Only the master of the Lu gate is back?"

Lu Aotian said: "Yes, I was returning to the voyage with Master Ming Shi, but there was a storm at sea, and we were scattered."

The city lord said: "Ming Shi is dead."

Lu Aotian was startled.

The city lord's sharp eyes fell on Lu Aotian's face, as if he wanted to distinguish whether his reaction was true or not.

Lu Aotian's shock was definitely not feigned.

Although the wind and waves were strong at that time, if it was just for self-protection, he believed that Ming Shi would not be able to survive.

The city lord said lightly: "The guards of the city lord's mansion found his body near the port. He was killed by a sword pierced through his heart from the back. In addition, since before that, he lost an arm. It doesn't look like he was cut by a sharp blade, but It's like it was ripped off."

Students...

Could it be...

Lu Aotian did hear Ming Shi's scream after the big ship crashed.

But he was tossed and tossed in the waves, and he couldn't see what was going on at all.

The city lord asked: "Master Lu, who knows who did it?"

Lu Aotian lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know, he was fine before Master Mingshi and I were washed away by the storm."

The city master said: "Does Master Lu have anything else to report?"

Lu Aotian paused, and said: "The fourth son... is dead, the murderer has not been caught."

The city lord's expression was very calm: "Can you see who the murderer is?"

Lu Aotian shook his head: "No."

The city lord was silent for a while.

Lu Aotian couldn't tell what was going on in his mind, but he must be very angry when his adopted son died.

It's just that he never shows it on his face.

The city lord said slowly: "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"The fourth son cooperated with the prince of Da Zhou and sent me to kill the thorn in the side of the second prince. Who would have thought that we were caught in a trap, and I was caught by the people of Da Zhou. I don't know what happened after that. In the end, Ming Shi Luohan went to rescue me, and at that time, the Fourth Young Master was dead."

Speaking of this point, Lu Aotian hesitated, "However, I vaguely heard something."

City Lord: "Say it."

Lu Aotian said: "The weapon that killed the Fourth Young Master was the Pear Blossom Dart from Baihua Palace."

The city lord tightened his grip on the armrest: "Hundred Flower Palace?"

After Lu Aotian left, Xie Jinnian came out from behind the screen.

"Father."

"What do you think?" the city lord asked.

Xie Jinnian looked at Lu Aotian's back gradually disappearing into the night, and said: "It is clear that Shi Luohan did not kill him, and the death of the fourth brother has nothing to do with him, but he kept something from us."

City Lord: "Go ahead."

Xie Jinnian said: "I just sent someone to inquire about it. The head of the Lu family came back on Madam Nie's boat. He has no friendship with Madam Nie, and it can be said that he has no acquaintance with Madam Nie. Madam Nie will not be kind enough to let a foreigner There must be a reason for getting on the boat.

"Wu Zuo conducted an autopsy on Ming Shi Luohan. The specific time of death was in the evening. During that period of time, only two large ships landed on the island. One belonged to Mrs. Nie, and the other was hired by a pair of sea merchants, father and son.

"The murderer who killed Ming Shi Luohan must be the people on these two ships."

The city lord said seriously: "Send someone to capture the father and son!"

Seeing that Xie Jinnian did not speak, the City Lord asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Xie Jinnian frowned and said, "The father and son are gone."

Lu Aotian came out of the city lord's mansion, saw many guards searching the street, and after asking, he found out that he was looking for the murderer who killed Mingshi Luohan.

"Meet these two?"

A guard asked a passing young man with two portraits.

The young man shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

Lu Aotian leaned over and looked at the portrait.

The guard said: "Have you seen it?"

Lu Aotian: "No."

The guards said to the people watching the excitement all around: "Whoever finds the person in the portrait, report it to the city lord's mansion immediately, and reward him with a thousand taels! If anyone harbors criminals privately, he will be severely punished!"

Lu Aotian left without looking back.

Do my shit?

It's not that I killed someone.

I don't know these two people either.

Lu Aotian returns to Huoshaomen.

A disciple hurried up to greet him: "Master, you are back!"

Lu Aotian stepped over the threshold: "Is there nothing going on in the sect these days?"

The disciple said embarrassingly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that two people came just now, they must be your creditors, and you have pledged tokens."

Lu Aotian's eyes widened: "Ah bah! Who do I owe? I want to see who blackmailed me!"

He walked quickly to the flower hall.

He saw Wei Ting and Jing Yi sitting on the chairs.

Wei Ting held his broadsword in his hand.

Lu Aotian: "...!"

Ge Ting: Just rely on it.

Jing Baobao: Yes.
