Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Chapter 520: Secret Chapter

Nangong Shan picked up the gavel, slammed it heavily on the table, and said loudly

"Lu Chuanqi! I want to ask you, when you ordered your men to beat up that drunkard, didn't you feel a bit of guilt in your heart?"

The sound of the gavel hitting the table frightened Lu Chuanqi so much that he shuddered violently.

Lu Chuanqi had been spoiled since childhood, and had never seen such a scene before. He was frightened by Nangong Shan and trembled all over, tears streaming down his face.

"Sir... I didn't think too much about it at the time... I was just angry for a moment... so I asked the guards to beat him, but I didn't expect these guards to be so cruel and beat him like that."

After Lu Chuanqi finished speaking, Nangong Shan picked up the gavel from the desk and smashed it heavily on his head, saying angrily

"A moment of anger? You can act so recklessly just because you are angry? You are such an asshole."

"Someone, come! Take Lu Chuanqi to the prison and wait for your punishment!"

At this moment, Gu Yan's voice suddenly drifted into Nangong Shan's ears.

"Master Nangong, don't detain Lu Chuanqi yet. Ask him indirectly whether Lu Mingsheng has come back during this period."

After hearing Gu Yan's voice transmission, Nangong Shan looked at Lu Chuanqi and sighed deeply, pretending to be disappointed with him and said

"Lu Chuanqi, before the Lu family became powerful, although you were naughty, you were not to the point of hurting others at will. Moreover, although your father Lu Xingli doted on you, he was not a man without limits. What made you become like this?"

Lu Chuanqi is a second-generation rich man, and he has no idea that Nangong Shan is taking the opportunity to learn about the Lu family's situation.

"Maybe it's because of my great grandfather's love for me..."

Nangong Shan leaned back in the chair, lowered his eyelids, and said in a deep voice

"Tell me in detail"

After Lu Chuanqi recalled for a while, he told everything.

"My great grandfather came back a few days ago. Among the four generations of the clan, he loved me the most. He said that I was most like him when he was young, and he gave me many treasures. When the brothers in the clan saw that my great grandfather liked me, they began to tolerate me in everything. After a long time..."

Hearing the word "great grandfather", Nangong Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked

"Your great grandfather is Lu Mingsheng?"

Lu Chuanqi raised his head and looked at Nangong Shan in confusion, and asked

"Yes, Lord Nangong knows my great grandfather?"

Nangong Shan shook his head slightly and said

"I don't know your great grandfather."

At this time, Gu Yan's voice sounded in Nangong Shan's ears again.

"Ask him how often Lu Mingsheng comes back and when he will come back next time."

Nangong Shan coughed lightly and said

"Although I don't know your great grandfather, I have great respect for him. A third-level formation expert is so rare. Your grandfather, Lu Ji'an, a fourth-level Return to Origin expert, has a reputation for being able to communicate with gods through formations. Your great grandfather, Lu Mingsheng, whose attainments in formations are higher than your grandfather's, must be so powerful."

"I am also quite knowledgeable in the art of formations, and have always wanted to ask your great grandfather for advice, but unfortunately we have never had the chance to meet."

When Lu Chuanqi heard Nangong Shan's words, his mind suddenly became active. His eyes rolled around in his sockets and he said

"Lord Nangong, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My grandfather comes back very rarely and at irregular times."

As Lu Chuanqi spoke, he observed the changes in Nangong Shan's expression. When he saw that Nangong Shan was a little disappointed, he quickly changed his words.

"But every time my grandfather returns to Jiangnan County, he will come to see me first."

"If Lord Nangong wants to learn the art of formation, I can introduce him to someone else."

Hearing this, Nangong Shan pretended to be surprised and said

"Oh? Is what Mr. Lu said true?"

When Lu Chuanqi heard Nangong Shan address him as Mr. Lu instead of Lu Chuanqi, he was immediately delighted and quickly patted his chest with his hands. The shackles on his hands rattled, and he said seriously:

"I always keep my word and never lie to anyone. Besides, Lord Nangong is the county governor, how dare I lie to him?"

Nangong Shan stood up from his chair with a look of surprise, walked quickly to Lu Chuanqi, stretched out his hand and helped him up

"Mr. Lu, the ground is cold, please get up quickly."

"Mr. Lu, if I could become Senior Lu Mingsheng's disciple, I would really like to thank you."

Seeing Nangong Shan's attitude become so friendly, Lu Chuanqi also followed suit.

"Brother Nangong, if I let my great grandfather take you in and teach you the art of formation, then the matter of that drunkard..."

Nangong Shan put his head close to Lu Chuanqi's ear and said in a low voice

"Don't worry, brother. In Jiangnan County, no matter what kind of murder case it is, it's just a matter of a word from you, brother."

When Lu Chuanqi heard Nangong Shan's words, he immediately smiled and secretly cursed in his heart

"What a shitty official! He went to so much trouble to capture me. It was really for profit. All crows are black!"

But even though he cursed in his heart, Lu Chuanqi still had a smile on his face that said "I understand everything" and whispered:

"Thank you very much, brother. Don't worry, I will say a few good words for you in front of my great grandfather."

Hearing Lu Chuanqi's words, Nangong Shan raised his head and laughed happily.

"Okay, then it's settled."

"However, I have to inconvenience you and ask you to stay in the prison of the county governor's mansion for a few days. After all, I have to stop the people from complaining."

"Although I'm living in prison for a while, I'll definitely make sure you have everything you need."

After hearing this, Lu Chuanqi nodded repeatedly and said with a smile

"Don't worry, bro. I know the rules and will never cause you any trouble."

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of me these few days."

Nangong Shan laughed and patted Lu Chuanqi on the shoulder and said

"You and I are brothers, don't be so polite, your business is my brother's business, if you need anything, just ask!"

……

After the bailiffs escorted Lu Chuanqi out of the hall, the warm smile on Nangong Shan's face gradually cooled down and became extremely cold.

"Such scum can never atone for their sins by dying a hundred times"

Nangong Shan shook his sleeves heavily, put his hands behind his back, and strode towards the back of the hall. Gu Yan was still waiting for him there.

Arriving in the room behind the lobby, Nangong Shan bowed to Gu Yan, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and said

"Nangongshan has met King Dingnan"

Gu Yan put down the teacup, waved his hand casually, and said

"Lord Nangong and I are old acquaintances, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

"You must find a way to lure Lu Mingsheng out through Lu Chuanqi. That old fox is very cunning, and you must not let him realize your true intentions. You should also learn some basic knowledge of formations these days, and you must pretend to be good enough."

Nangong Shan nodded slightly and said

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will start to improve my knowledge of formations in a moment."

Gu Yan slowly stood up from the chair and said

"A few days ago, I asked Gong Jue to knock off a few pieces of array casting materials that the Lu family brought back, and sent someone to take a look at the provincial government's Ministry of Industry and Military Affairs. Those masters couldn't figure out what those materials were used for. I'm going to the Qi Jue Palace in Yanzhou today. If Lu Mingsheng comes back suddenly, you go to the Jiangnan County Demon Slaying Division to find Baihu and ask her to send someone to the Anzhou Prefecture Demon Slaying Division to invite Lord Cao Chengzhen here in my name."

"I understand, Your Majesty."
