Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 272 Zu Mingjing

In the ancestral mansion, there are several secluded guest rooms for female guests.

A two-story building in the garden.

Lu Tong went straight to the door.

"Senior sister, I'm not late, am I?"

Yue Shenyu was sitting on a chair reading a book, and when he raised his head, there was already a smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter if it's later, I know you'll come, and I'm just waiting."

The two walked to the table and sat down.

Pi'er and another maid began to bring out meals.

Thin noodles with snow silk in old soup, smoked fish with Dan Qi, tender bamboo shoots poured in Dan juice...

He tasted the fish.

The entrance is soft and tender, and the mouth is full of herbs and trees.

"A delicious fish."

Yue Shenyu said: "Pi'er, Senior Brother Lu praised you for doing a good job of fish, please tell me how you do it."

Pi'er was serving wine, so she put down the jug immediately.

"One willow bud pill, three drops of flower dew, put cold water in the mountain spring, and boil it."

Lu Tong nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

After the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were taken away and replaced with two plates of snacks and a plate of melons and fruits.

Yue Shenyu waved his hand to signal Pi'er to back down.

"Junior Brother, I suspect that Mrs. Zu is the murderer, and even if it is not, it is related to the murderer."

He was leaning back in a chair with a wine glass in his hand.

Mrs. Zu is indeed suspicious.

Zu Wanping and Sun Hao were killed, there are many doubts, but Mrs. Zu insisted that the murderer was him.

It's not like Yue Shenyu said that he was extremely sad and confused.

More like a rush to find a scapegoat.

"What did the sister find?"

"Did you know that Zu Wanping had two personal maids?"

Lu Tong shook his head.

There are too many ancestors, and the young master and the young lady are not younger than ten.

There are also miscellaneous side rooms, all kinds of maids, maids, and servants, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of people in total.

Yue Shenyu drank a glass of wine.

"The young master of the big family, no matter day or night, there are prostitute maids guarding him. I remembered this today and asked the housekeeper of the ancestral mansion. Junior brother, guess where those two are now."

"At Madam Grandpa's side?"

"That's right. What's even more coincidental is that on the night Zu Wanping was killed, both maids were called away by Mrs. Zu."

Lu Tong's expression moved slightly, and he drank the wine in one gulp.He put down the wine glass casually, wrapped his tail around the empty wine glass and placed it on the table.

Yue Shenyu picked up the wine glass and filled it up.

"I went to ask Mrs. Zu. Mrs. Zu said that she suddenly wanted to weave a quilt that night and needed a few helpers."

"It's neither early nor late, but that night, I don't believe it's a coincidence."

"I don't believe it either. And when we went to the city that day, the Zu's mansion returned a lot of goods, Madam Zu should have a lot of things."

The two thought separately.

After a while, Lu Tong asked: "If it is really Mrs. Zu, or someone from another ancestor's family, how will Senior Sister plan to make a move?"

"what?"

Yue Shenyu was a little puzzled.

Holding the wine glass, he said: "Most of the gates of life for ghosts are in people's hearts and eyebrows. To kill ghosts, you must kill first. With Zu Mingjing around, the ancestors' family is not easy to move."

"The people who were killed were also the family members of the ancestors. Will Zu Mingjing protect the murderer?"

Lu Tong sighed.

"The ancestor's family has such a large family business, and there are many shady activities under it. In the eyes of Zu Mingjing, this matter may not be a big deal. The murderer dares to kill, it should be expected."

Yue Shenyu frowned.

He was lost in thought.

Mrs. Zu...

Whether it has anything to do with Miss Fifth depends entirely on whether Zu Li can live until tomorrow morning.

……

The guest room of the ancestor's house, one bedroom and one hall.

Lu Tong was lying on the bed.

In the hall, a chair was placed at the door, and Zu Wu was sitting on the chair with a serious face.

"Zuwu."

"Sir, what are your orders?"

He got up and walked into the hall, said: "I heard that the master of the Ni family broke into the golden core when he was less than two hundred years old, he must not be an ordinary person."

"That is!"

Zu Wu sat for nearly an hour, but did not dare to move in order not to make a sound, so he took the opportunity to stand up and stretch his legs.

"When the master was practicing in the Golden Rhinoceros Sect, he almost became a disciple of Daoist. Later, he returned to his ancestral home, and it took only 40 years to more than double the family business of his ancestral home!"

Lu Tong just asked casually, inquiring about some news, and after listening, he really became interested.

"Your master has paid homage to the sect?"

"Yes, I worshiped the Golden Rhinoceros Sect of Shuangling Island since I was a child, and was almost accepted as a disciple by Daoist Yuanying."

"sharp."

He lit the lamp, went to the table, took out the tea set and started making tea.

"Come and sit down and talk."

"Hey."

The two sat down, and a small orange flame ignited in the small clay stove that boiled water.

Lu Tong set up two teapots and two teacups, and asked, "What's wrong, and you didn't join the Daoist sect in the end?"

"I don't know, I only heard some rumors..."

"Just chatting, let's talk about it."

He didn't stare at Zu Wu, he took out several kinds of tea leaves and began to pick and choose.

Zu Wu hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "I heard that the real person changed his mind temporarily. It was agreed in advance that he would be the first to complete the task of apprenticeship, so he could be an apprentice. Afterwards, he said that my master broke the rules and cannot be accepted as an apprentice."

Steam began to rise from the tandoor.

Lu Tong casually squeezed two pinches of tea, threw them into the teapot respectively, and asked, "What rule did you break?"

"I don't know. I guess the disciples set it up from the very beginning, and the rules are just an excuse."

He disagreed.

Daoist people in the Nascent Soul Realm are big figures in any sect, so they wouldn't use such petty tricks.

Most likely Zu Mingjing really violated the taboo.

Put the hot water into the pot and cover it for a few breaths.

He rinsed the cup with tea, poured another cup, and handed it to Zu Wu.

Zu Wu was flattered and took the teacup with both hands.

"Thank you Xianchang."

Lu Tong poured himself a glass, and asked, "If it's true what Zu Li said, the murder was due to internal fighting, what will your master do when he comes back?"

Zu Wu held the teacup, glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and asked cautiously: "Prince Immortal, have you heard some rumors?"

"Ok?"

"A rumor about my master."

He lowered his head, slowly picked up the teacup, and said, "Yes, I've heard of it."

"The rumors are more false than true. The dispute over the head of the family back then is not all due to the cruelty of the master. Others want to separate the family. If they don't do it, the ancestor's family will be disbanded!"

Lu Tong's eyes tightened, and he put down his teacup.

"Your master also killed his own brother?"

Zu Wu didn't dare to say any more, she lowered her head and drank tea.

"several?"

After a while, Zu Wu said in a low voice: "Six. But the master has been worshiped in the sect since he was a child, and apart from his blood, he has no relationship with those people... not close."

"Master Zu, it seems that you guessed that it was the ancestors who did it."

There was some shock in his heart.

No wonder he dared to do this.

Zu Mingjing killed six, and others killed three or five, which didn't seem to be a big deal.

……

the next day.

Lu Tong opened his eyes, but there was no hasty knock on the door, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

No knock on the door means no one died.

Zu Li delivered it to the door, but Fifth Miss didn't do anything, she might have found the wrong person.

Get up, take off your clothes, and wash up a little.

In the hall, Zu Wu was still guarding the door.

He sat on the chair, poured a glass of cold water, and said, "Go back and rest, this time has nothing to do with you."

"Xianchang, I'll take care of the caravan and come back at noon."

"it is good."

Zu Wu opened the door, took a step and then retracted his foot, said: "Immortal Chief, someone is looking for it. Miss Wu's maid Huadao."

A female cultivator in a long silver gown walked to the door.

"Xianchang Lu, Miss invites you to have breakfast."

Lu Tong's face changed slightly.

"Who else?"

"And Master Li."
