The sun in the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds.
Everyone looked up at the sky and retracted their gaze calmly.
In Huang Yang Town, people were long used to such weather.
When Lu Sheng heard Da Niu’s words, she could not help but sigh. “Why did your wife do that?”
“That vicious b*tch!”
Strong ghost aura suddenly surged around Da Niu. “I caught her cheating on me, so she hired someone to kill me with a horse carriage. To prevent me from being reborn, she even hired a priest to perform a ritual so that I can never be reincarnated and can only be a wandering ghost.”
If not for the Exorcism Talisman on that b*tch, which prevented him from approaching her, he would have killed her long ago.
Lu Sheng said, “If you can do me a favor, not only will I take revenge for you, but I will also help you enter the Netherworld and be reborn.”
“What favor?”
Da Niu’s ghost aura suddenly dissipated.
“Do you know who burned down this inn?”
Da Niu paused before shaking his head. “I only know that a few men in black escaped after burning the inn. After that, another man in black came. He has an immortal aura on him, so I didn’t dare to get too close.”
“Immortal aura?”
Lu Sheng was stunned. “What did he do?”
“He controlled the fire to prevent it from affecting the surroundings. He also locked all the doors and windows so that no one could escape.”
No wonder the surrounding inns were safe despite the big fire!
“Then do you know who died?” Lu Sheng asked.
Da Niu frowned. “They’re the subordinates of the owner of this inn. Their hands were stained with human blood before. The owner of this inn used to be a bandit who killed countless people. Before he died, he was discussing business with Old Master Jiang in the room. It seemed like he wanted to find a girl called Lu Sheng and kill her.”
Kill her?
Lu Sheng frowned. She did not remember offending the Jiang family.
“Then, do you know why they wanted to kill that lady?”
Da Niu tilted his head and thought for a while. Then, he said, “Oh, Old Master Jiang said that the lady made his obedient grandson unhappy.”
Lu Sheng was shocked.
Could it be that she had upset Young Master Jiang after saving that child back then?
This was just a small matter. This Old Master Jiang actually traveled all the way here just to hire someone to kill her?
“Ha—These two masters deserved to die.”
If that was the case, she roughly knew who the man in black with an immortal aura was.
However, her words made everyone present look at each other.
Lu Sheng took out a talisman and told Da Niu to stay inside temporarily.
“What did you find out?” Chu Sihan asked.
Lu Sheng looked up coldly and said lightly, “Lord, please forgive me for not being able to help you investigate this case.”
Her sudden anger made everyone feel inexplicable.
Shi Yi wanted to crack a few jokes, but after seeing her expression, he could not bring himself to do so.
Chu Sihan pulled her aside and asked softly, “What happened?”
Lu Sheng smiled coldly. “The Jiang family really doesn’t take human lives seriously.”
“Back then, I saved a child who was pushed into the lake by Young Master Jiang in the magistrate court. I angered him and Old Master Jiang came all the way to Huang Yang Town to hire someone to kill me. Unfortunately, they were killed by other enemies. This is really retribution.”
When Chu Sihan heard that, his expression darkened immediately.
“Don’t worry, I won’t interfere in this case anymore. Let the county magistrate investigate it himself.”
The county magistrate was from that side. If he could not find out anything, it had nothing to do with him even if his life was in danger, let alone his official status.
