Chapter 291 Death of Leng Hai
The night was like a veil, covering the entire capital. Lu Qingfan's figure suddenly landed like a nighthawk and stopped in the open space at the entrance of Wuji Tower.
He pressed the mechanism according to the rules of Wuji Tower, waited for the steps to appear, and quickly walked in.
In the familiar stone room, Hua Jianying in a moonlight robe sat inside, looking at Lu Qingfan and smiling: "Brother Lu is here. I heard that you are coming to find me today, so I specially prepared the best
Tea is waiting for you."
"Brother Hua." Lu Qingfan sat across from Hua Jianying.
After getting acquainted with each other, Hua Jianying became more casual in privately calling Lu Qingfan when he was not in the Penal Department Yamen.
"Although you and I are not good at tea, Dun San once said that this tea is worth thousands of gold and is rare for ordinary people. If you don't have the connections of that customer, you will have to wait for a few taels."
"I didn't expect that the owner of Wuji Tower would be ranked by others one day." Lu Qingfan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He narrowed his dark eyes and said calmly: "Good tea."
Hua Jianying was teased so much that he took the empty tea cup dumbfounded and said: "There is so much information in the world. If everyone wants it, wouldn't our Wuji Tower become a land without one? The ranking is convenient for others, and it is convenient for everyone."
It’s convenient for you.”
Most of the time the two of them met because of cases, but they rarely chatted so calmly.
After another drink, Hua Jianying asked in a low voice about the situation of everyone in the Criminal Department. Lu Qingfan briefly explained and ended the topic.
After looking at each other in silence for a moment, Hua Jianying sighed and said, "Are you really going to take action?"
"Yes." Lu Qingfan nodded.
"No holding back?"
"Don't hold back."
The stone room became quiet again.
After a while, Hua Jianying stood up and said: "Since Brother Lu insists on fighting me, I have no choice but to accept the challenge. Please come with me."
Even if it is a fight, Hua Jianying still remains humble and gentlemanly.
Lu Qingfan nodded: "Thank you."
Coming out of the dark underground city of Wuji Tower, Lu Qingfan followed Hua Jianying to the ground. Looking at the huge martial arts arena with eighteen kinds of weapons in front of him, Lu Qingfan couldn't help but sigh: "The Wuji Tower is really hidden."
"It's just the accumulation of my father's generation." Hua Jianying said sheepishly: "Let's do it directly?"
"Just do it." Lu Qingfan took out the long sword in his hand and signaled Hua Jianying to get the weapon.
Hua Jianying shook his head, "My Kung Fu does not require weapons."
Because he can turn anything at hand into a weapon.
Masters compete with each other, no need to elaborate.
Suddenly, two figures, one black and one white, rushed into the sky. They faced each other suddenly and separated quickly. The two evenly matched people did not stop, and immediately flew towards each other again!
The long sword pierced the sky like a rainbow and slashed straight. The figure in the flower room flickered and it was difficult to distinguish the real figure. When he looked closely, he had already aimed at Lu Qingfan's face and struck with a palm strike!
Huajian Ying's palm wind carries a strong astral wind, which is quite similar to Lu Qingfan's internal energy, and it comes with a 100% intimidation!
There was a complex look in Lu Qingfan's eyes, and when he blocked the long sword, he brought out a strong and compelling inner energy.
With a "boom", the ground of the entire martial arts arena shook...
The movement in Wuji Tower's martial arts arena alarmed many "Shields". Many "Shields" and "Shadows" wearing masks quietly gathered around to watch the battle, all shocked by this rare scene in a century.
"My dear, there are experts in this world who are comparable to the original poster."
"Hey, what's even more amazing is that this master is a minion of the government..."
There were endless exclamations and cheers, and more and more people gathered around Wuji Tower.
In sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of Wuji Tower, countless guards in uniforms suddenly emerged from the quiet streets and alleys of the capital. They didn't know what they were searching for. They walked around the inner and outer cities and then withdrew like a tide again.
At the same time, Yunxi Xiaoyuan.
Yun Xi and Qing Guo's sobbing voices caused many neighbors to quietly peek their heads in. The burning paper money floated up from the brazier in the night wind, and finally fell slowly.
"Who among the Yunwu writers died?"
"It seems that an adult who used to work in the Ministry of Punishment has raised the baby for a long time."
"What a pity..."
…
Everyone knows that Yun Xi and his team have repeatedly solved strange cases, protected the people of the capital, punished corrupt officials, and strived to abolish human trafficking... The neighbors admired and were grateful; in addition, Yun Xi's master and servant have always been kind to others, and they even made special remarks when the seasons changed in early autumn.
We prepared herbs to dispel cold and protect against wind, and everyone remembered the kindness of the master and servant.
"It's scary to death. There is a sudden martial law in the city, and the Jinyi Guards are searching the whole city. Another patient among Yunwu's writers has died. Doesn't it have anything to do with it?"
"Bah! Crow's mouth, what's the connection?"
The man lying on the wall was guessing when his wife caught his ear and said, "Don't make blind guesses! It's just causing trouble for others. Let's get rid of it now!"
Following the woman's aggressive driving sound, the neighbors quietly dispersed.
Not far away, Leng Chuan quickly entered the courtyard carrying two sets of medicine, and saw Yun Xi's master and servant burning paper and sobbing.
"Miss Yun?" Leng Chuan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and looked towards the side room where his brother lived: the door hung with white silk was tightly closed, which seemed to have confirmed his inner inference.
"I'm sorry..." Yun Xi's eyes were red, maybe she was choked by the smoke, and suddenly she shed tears: "Hai was guarding him, and he suddenly died. I have tried my best to save..."
"Wow..." Before Yun Xi could finish speaking, Qingguo's sobs turned into howls.
"It's all my fault, I wish I didn't eat that piece of mung bean cake! Miss, Miss, I saved Haiweiwei for a long time, but he never woke up again. I'm sorry, Brother Chuan! You don't have a brother anymore..."
Qingguo's voice was so loud that the neighbors who had not gone far all heard what was going on in the courtyard and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
The medicine bag in Leng Chuan's hand fell to the ground, and his cold face was full of frost: "I don't believe it."
"People, people are in the house." Yun Xi covered her eyes and whispered: "We want to wait until you and your Excellency come back..."
Leng Chuan turned around and went into the house without saying a word.
A moment later, the sound of tables being overturned and tea cups being smashed was heard in the room.
Yun Xi's hands trembled and tears fell again.
Soon, Leng Chuan walked out of the house with red eyes and knelt down with Yun Xi to burn paper.
That night, the lights in Yunxi's courtyard were brightly lit. Ran Piao, Ren Danqing, and even Master Zong Yi, who had not been seen for a long time, and Master Chao Zhong from the Metropolitan Procuratorate all came to offer a stick of incense to Leng Hai.
At dawn, Lu Qingfan dragged his tired body back to the small courtyard, and what he saw was the memorial appearance wrapped in white gauze.
He seemed to have guessed something, his dark eyes trembled, and he pushed open the door with trembling hands and then quickly pulled it back, not wanting anyone to notice anything unusual.
A simple mourning hall has been set up in the yard, and all colleagues from the Criminal Department are there.
Yun Xi stayed up all night and was so tired that she fell asleep leaning on Qing Guo's shoulder. When she heard any movement, she woke up immediately and met Lu Qingfan's red eyes.
She lowered her head in shame, "I'm sorry, sir, I couldn't..."
Failed to protect the cold sea.
Lu Qingfan silently held a stick of incense for Leng Hai, and was about to kowtow when Leng Chuan, who was kneeling beside him, grabbed his arm.
"Sir, no." Leng Chuansu said solemnly with a straight face.
They are masters and servants, and even Leng Hai would never want to see his master be so condescending.
"Leng Hai is not only my bodyguard, but also my brother." Lu Qingfan's eyes filled with a complex and painful dark light: "He died for our case, and I should kowtow to see him off."
Lengchuan still didn't move.
"Guardian Chuan, please let me do my best." Really unable to stand the stalemate between the two, Ren Danqing took the initiative to console him.
After a while, Leng Chuan took back his hand and watched Lu Qingfan kowtow three times to Leng Hai's spiritual tablet.
"I, Lu Qingfan, hereby swear that I will catch the real culprit behind the scenes and avenge the dead souls and Leng Hai...!"
Yun Xi forced herself to kneel up straight and kowtowed three times.
Everyone present has the same wish: to catch the real culprit and bring clarity to the case.
Leng Hai had been in coma for too long, and everyone was somewhat prepared for his death. After the memorial ceremony, Leng Chuan immediately burned and buried his body, and buried his ashes alone.
By the time King Yi and other officials from the Ministry of Punishment knew the news and wanted to come to pay their respects, Yun Xi had already evacuated the mourning hall, leaving only the side room to offer incense to the memorial tablet.
Even if this is the case, King Yi will not forgive him and insists on offering incense and offering sacrifices.
"Before I took over the Ministry of Justice, I heard about the bravery of Leng Hai's guards. It's such a pity that the hero is short of breath!" His Highness King Yi, pretending to be sad, said to Lu Qingfan and his entourage, adding fuel to the fire: "Master Lu,
Yun Wuzuo, I hope you will take care of yourselves for the sake of Leng Huwei and express your condolences."
Yun Xi's clear eyes were red, and the grief in her eyes became more and more intense. When she stared at King Yi, the surging hatred was almost uncontrollable.
Lu Qingfan quietly held Yun Xi's cold little hand, wanting her and himself to calm down as soon as possible.
"Huh, Your Highness is really good at showing off..." Chao Zhong from the Metropolitan Procuratorate said, "You're talking very sarcastic words!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." How could Lu Qingfan not know that King Yi had an ulterior motive and that there was something behind his words?
He completed the etiquette, raised his hands and said: "The incense has been put up and people have paid their respects. I believe there are people under Leng Haiquan who will be able to feel His Royal Highness King Yi's thoughts."
