Chapter 60 The old friend, reminiscing

"Catch a person"

The detective opened his throat and shouted. The more than ten people who were holding the net suddenly pulled the hands. The fine net tightened, and the Taoist, who was covered in black and blood, was wrapped around him and struggled with the iron net.

A detective knocked down the hilt of the knife and slammed it into his head.

"Be honest!"

Then, looking back, he looked at the general arrester who came and bowed with a knife: "General arrester, the person has already caught him."

Zuo Zhengyang asked someone to take a rag over, pressed the dizzy Taoist, wiped the blood stains from his face, and when his face was exposed, he hummed and threw the bloody cloth.

"It's not Lu Liangsheng..."

When he came here, he had already set up an ambush. Not only here, but also under his command in the streets outside. Once someone comes out of here, no matter who it is, he can take it down naturally. It is a bit regretful to see the people on the net.

"The left captain, I didn't expect to meet him here."

A sudden sound rang out from the crescent gate, and the surrounding constable pulled out his weapon with a clang. Zuo Zhengyang stood up and looked over there.

The scholar in a blue robe walked past the crescent door and picked up a pair of copper bells from the ground. It was the detectives who set up early warnings.

Ding Dingdangdang shook it twice, and Lu Liangsheng returned it to a constable next to him and handed over it.

"Lu Liangsheng has met the general arrestee."

The gentle attitude, expression and sincere words made the constables around him feel more affection for the scholars. Zuo Zhengyang also waved his hand at the right time: "Cut the knife!"

"Yes!" Everyone then inserted their swords and returned to the sheath.

Looking at the scholar in front of him, Zuo Zhengyang felt a little moved and bowed to the other party.

"I feel a lot of emotion when I see an old friend in Fushui County in Hegu County, but it's not an accident."

Lu Liangsheng understood the implication in his heart. He probably saw the figure when he came over and chased him.

"The wind is biting in the middle of the night, and there are evil people who are at work at night."

Lu Liangsheng calmly expressed the truth through the words he said, and thanked Captain Left and the constable for arresting this evil path.

When the constable heard this praise, he straightened his back without realizing it and kicked the Taoist who was trapped by the net.

"Bah, Zhou Ying is a great literary master in our county. You actually hurt people in his home. It would be light to beat you to death!"

"Another pot of black dog blood, I want to soak this man in..."

"...There may be some brothers outside, I'll get it later!"

"I'll talk about it when I come back."



Zuo Zhengyang's expression also eased. When he ordered his subordinates to tie the evil path, his deputy suddenly approached and spoke.

"Chief, this Taoist can harm Zhou Ying's mansion so far away. This makes Bei Zhi remember the case of Chen Yuanwai's family in Fushui County three years ago... Could it be that this Taoist did it? After all, there are one and two."

"Take it back to the yamen, I'll be very questioning!" Zuo Zhengyang glanced at the scholar beside him and waved his hand out.

Taoist Yangming, who was awakened quietly, vaguely heard this, his eyes widened and his heart became panicked.

"Farting, I have never been there... Woo!

The blood-stained rag was stuffed into his mouth, and the constable slapped him: "Shut up!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The Taoist squinted his cloth scarf and shook his head repeatedly, looking at the scholar and the chief inspector in a frustration, dragging further and further.

The whimpering voice went away, and Zhang Dongming from the mansion was also brought here. On the way, he also learned from the constable about what happened in Zhou's mansion. He looked at Lu Liangsheng tremblingly, then looked at the majestic Zuo Zhengyang, and hurriedly bowed.

"Master... the left captain, I am really wronged. The true man Yangming said he could cure my son's illness, but he never thought that he would harm Zhou Rong. No matter what, she is also my son's wife who has not passed away."

"Do you know, this arrester will find out, but you are old and don't go out for the time being. The government will summon you and be on call!"

Seeing his age, Zuo Zhengyang was arrested and put into prison for trial. Some of it was passed, not to mention that the whole story was going to go to Zhou Mansion.

The matter was temporarily handled, so that some constables would take the Taoist back, and he would walk out of the house with the scholar.

The two of them were old acquaintances, chatting while walking, and several constables followed behind them.

Walking on the street late at night, occasionally dogs barking in the distance, Lu Liangsheng was also confused about the whole story that Zhang Dongming just said.

Next to him, the general arrester who was walking with a knife smiled when he saw his expression.

"It's common to be in the yamen and dealing with these cases. By the way, you are here for the sake of Qiuying?"

Lu Liangsheng nodded.

Behind him, several constables followed from afar. Zuo Zhengyang glanced and lowered his voice: "Since you are here for the exam, don't use your magic anymore. I know you did the case of Chen Yuanwai. Shuhua and Lord Min are upright and hate evil. They are willing to protect you. This means that you are a human being, but the law is the law, and it cannot be broken."

The walking steps stopped and the two stood in the middle of the street together. Lu Liangsheng did not avoid the captain's gaze, his eyes were calm and clear.

"Captain Left thought I did it right or wrong?"

“Yes, but also wrong.”

Zuo Zhengyang's eyes were majestic. After saying this, he shook his head again: "You and I have different positions. In the future, you will be able to understand what Zuo said after you pass the exam and become an official."

"Actually, I understand now."

Lu Liangsheng continued to move forward, looking at the lights in nearby buildings.

"It's just a path of practicing Taoism. When people encounter things, they will have doubts. Some people keep their true nature, some people lose themselves, and some people lose their attention... Just like the things between the Zhou Mansion and Zhang Dongming made up his mind to do such things for his son. It is reasonable that the two families should have been in-laws... But because of their eagerness to save their son, a Taoist selfish desire ruins the marriage of the next generation, and the two families must have deep conflicts in the future. The cause and effect in this world is really hard to guess."

As he said that, he laughed a little and bowed to Zuo Zhengyang: "I sighed for a moment, and I made the captain Zuo laugh."

"It's not in the way."

Zuo Zhengyang waved his hand and smiled: "Zuo heard that people who practice Taoism are all pure and have few desires, but today I saw one who is greedy and the other who is sentimental. Haha, OK, I should turn back to the yamen here. I will go to Zhou’s mansion to ask about this matter tomorrow, so I will leave here!"

"Goodbye!"

Lu Liangsheng bowed his hand and turned around to the street intersection.

The head catcher at the fork did not leave immediately. He held the reins and looked at the back that was leaving, and some people approached with doubts.

"Chief, what are you looking at?"

"nothing."

Zuo Zhengyang smiled at the detective, turned over the horse and shook the reins.

"Go back and interrogate the Taoist overnight!"

Then, he shouted loudly: "Go!" and rushed the horse to run around the street.

*******

When Lu Liangsheng returned to Zhou's mansion, it was already late at night and he quietly descended from the courtyard wall. Hong Lian had come back early to greet her at the door of the main hall. She saw her long sleeves covering her face and her eyes were crescent.

He asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Hong Lian held back her smile, stretched out her jade finger and pointed to the room. Inside, the toad Taoist stood at the head of the bed, waving the frog web.

"I told you not to move, and you will be killed by moving again!"

On the bed, Sun Yingxian wrapped her body in a circle of bandages and lay there straight, revealing only a pair of eyes outside.

"Um...Old...Toad...you try to kill again!"

There were a pile of burnt Taoist robes on the ground, and it was thought that the battle was hurt by the evil path.

The toad wrapped around him one by one, and the frog web slapped the Taoist's head from time to time: "So what if I hit me? If I don't learn well, I will lose your master's face!"

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and saw Lu Liangsheng coming in and throwing the remaining bandage over.

"Hand up to him... I still have important things to do as a teacher."

"That... Master, the spirit under this room..."

Before he finished speaking the word "medicine", the toad jumped out of the bed, stuck out his butt and crawled into the bottom of the bed, waved the frog webbing outward: "It's gone."

Well……

Lu Liangsheng sighed and sat on the edge of the bed with a bandage. Sun Yingxian said through the bandage: "Relax the nostrils, I'm almost breathless."

"Young Master!" Nie Honglian floated over, picked up a bowl from the table and looked in, turned his face and smiled, "Master Toad didn't seem to have applied medicine to Master Sun..."

"Ah!! He must have done this old toad on purpose."

Ignoring the Taoist's screams, Lu Liangsheng felt aggrieved in his heart. He pressed him back and lay down, asked Hong Lian to come and help, untie the bandage again, apply medicine, and wrap it up again. After finishing his work, Sun Yingxian had already slept soundly and snored.

The scholar was also very tired, and his feeling of fatigue was like a rush of mountains and rivers, pushing everything down.

"well……"

Hong Lian went over, took a single garment and put it on him, floated away from the window frame, and gently blew out the candlelight.

He just sat quietly next to the man, looking at his side, smiling slightly on his cheeks, and swaying his feet lightly.

Hum the song gently.

"The apricot blossoms are blooming on the branches and windows. The scholars are in the crescent moon windows.

One sound, I learned to learn three drinks from books and listen to the joy of joy.”
