……

This casual cultivator's reaction was really beyond Wang Shouzhe's expectation. His face immediately turned gloomy: "It seems that the things you committed in Yingxiu are not small."

"Sir, it's my fault, it's my greed." The monk confessed with tears in his eyes, "We are all traveling merchants traveling together. When passing by Yingxiu, we saw a wealthy businessman's family getting married. Daughter-in-law. We were planning to leave after asking for a glass of water and wine. Unexpectedly, we discovered that the dowry was very generous, with hundreds of dry gold alone, and two valuable century-old ginseng plants. I waited for a while. Because of his evil thoughts, he sneaked into the wealthy merchant at night to steal..."

After confessing, Wang Shouzhe's face became darker and darker. These casual cultivators were too bold. After the theft was discovered, he actually dared to kill and rob the wealth.

Fortunately, those few casual cultivators started fighting among themselves because of their greed, and in the end this casual cultivator had the last laugh. It's just that he was very unlucky. He was treating wounds in a sparsely populated jungle, and he was bumped into by Wang Shouzhe and his party.

"Sir, as long as you swear to spare my life." The casual cultivator begged for mercy, "I am willing to reveal the location where the stolen goods are hidden, and everything will be dedicated to you."

This casual cultivator seems to know the behavior of some Xuanwu families very well. If Wang Shouzhe swears in front of several of his generals, he will definitely not go back on his word.

Otherwise, if a dignified family head can break even the oaths he has made at will, how will these family generals feel in their hearts? Can you still believe the words of the family head from now on?

Wang Zhong and other generals also cast their eyes on Wang Shouzhe, with some hope in their eyes. The stolen goods were of considerable value, and if they could be obtained, they would alleviate Wang's lack of money.

Wang Shouzhe just thought for a moment and got on his horse: "Take him and hand him over to Yingxiu Lu's disposal."

"Yes, Patriarch." Wang Zhong was just stunned for a moment, then faithfully fulfilled his mission, gagged the casual cultivator, and threw him on the horse no matter how much he screamed and struggled.

"Drive!"

The coachman Wang Laoshi shook his whip, and the carriage drawn by two horses moved slowly on the rugged and muddy road.

After walking for a while, Wang Zhongcai rode up behind Wang Shouzhe and asked in a low voice: "Master, do we really want to give up that batch of stolen goods? If you are afraid of getting your hands dirty, let your subordinates go down and handle it. Just give me some Time, keep him spit out the hiding place."

"Our time is precious and we don't have time to play treasure hunting games with just a casual cultivator." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "And Wang Zhong, as a member of the Xuanwu family, we have to take a longer view. There is nothing in the world that is airtight. Wall, if we harm the Lu family because of this, the losses we will suffer will be ten times or a hundred times the stolen money! The most important thing is, if we greedy the stolen goods without conscience and let the thieves go, how can we be worthy of opening up a new territory and establishing a family? Ancestor Zhouxuan? How can he be worthy of Ancestor Longyan who has protected the family for decades by himself?"

This is a matter of family belief. The biggest belief of most families is the ancestor who started the family.

Wang Zhong's body was shaken and he said with shame: "I understand, I am blinded by interests."

"Human nature is greedy, but how to restrain greed is very important." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Just like the group of casual cultivators who couldn't control their greed and joined forces to commit crimes, and then they couldn't control their greed and started fighting among themselves. With such a lack of self-control and self-discipline, if he was lucky enough to escape this time, how could he escape the second or third time?"

"Master, if those casual cultivators manage to escape once, wouldn't it be fine if they don't commit crimes in the future?" Wang Yong rode up and said.

"There may be such people, but they must be very few." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Imagine that you can't even resist the first temptation, let alone the second temptation that has already tasted the sweetness? That kind of greed , sooner or later they will be destroyed. It’s not that I don’t want the stolen money, but I simply don’t dare to ask for it, because I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control my greed and will gradually lead the family to ruin.”

Several family generals fell into deep thought, with reverence in their eyes for Wang Shouzhe.

Hello everyone, our public account will find red envelopes of gold and coins every day. You can receive them as long as you follow them. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public account [Book Friends Base Camp]

Wang Zhong said with emotion: "Master, my subordinates have a hunch that our Ping An Wang family will definitely rise in the hands of the master."

"Haha, although your flattery is rough, it is very useful to me."

"Master, I'm not flattering you, I really think so."

"Yes, yes, Master, we think so too." The other generals agreed.

At the same time.

In the carriage, Wang Luojing, who had already woken up and had witnessed and heard all this, her eyes were shining and she was thoughtful at the same time. Being with my fourth brother always makes me feel at ease and at ease.

Not for anything else, even if it is just for the fourth brother, Luo Jing, Luo Jing, you must work hard to share the burden on your shoulders for the fourth brother.

……

Less than half an hour.

Wang Shouzhe and his party came out of the woods and walked onto the broad avenue.

The first thing that catches the eye is the vast and endless Yingxiu Lake. The reflection of the towering Longji Mountain falls in the water, dyeing the lake water dark green. The lake breeze mixed with water vapor hit our faces, making it feel cool in this early summer season.

On the wide lake, from time to time, a big fish leaps up, causing a large splash of water. Various waterfowl swim among the dense reeds.

There is no doubt that Yingxiu Lake is not only beautiful in scenery, but also rich in natural resources. Compared with the majestic rapids of Anjiang, Yingxiu Lake is more magnificent and graceful.

At this time, a team of knights galloped towards them from afar, reining in their horses and stopping in front of Wang Shouzhe and his party.

"Call!"

The leader is a well-dressed man in his early thirties. He carries a strong bow on his back and a sword hanging on his waist, and he has an extraordinary momentum. When he saw Wang Shouzhe, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily and said, "Zhe'er, I haven't seen you for just a few days, but you have become much more heroic. It seems that your temperament has changed since you became the leader of the clan."

"Brother, why bother you to pick me up in person?" Wang Shouzhe said hurriedly.

This man is Lu Zhengjie, the biological brother of Wang Shouzhe's biological mother Lu Mengxue, and the pillar of the young generation of the Lu family in Yingxiu. He is only in his early thirties and has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm. He is a being who is expected to break through to the Lingtai Realm.

Some time ago, I made a special trip to Ping'an Town to attend Wang Dingyue's funeral. Naturally, I had just parted ways with Wang Shouzhe.

"It's not just to pick you up." Lu Zhengjie's smiling face solidified, "A few days ago, a group of gangsters pretending to be businessmen killed seven members of a wealthy businessman family. We followed the clues and found out that they escaped Heading towards Shanyang, we are investigating this matter. I have heard from the general about your coming to Yingxiu. You can go see your uncle on your own. I don’t have time to accompany you back now."

"It's a coincidence." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I just came from Shanyang and happened to catch a criminal on the way. According to the preliminary interrogation, he should be the same group of criminals as my uncle said."

"What?" Lu Zhengjie was slightly surprised.

Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe handed the criminal to Lu Zhengjie and narrated the whole story: "I will hand over the criminal to my uncle, but he has already hidden the stolen goods. It is inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter. Uncle, please send someone to interrogate yourself."

"That will save trouble, Lu Yi. I will leave the rest of the matter to you. Try to recover the property as much as possible and give an explanation to the survivors of the wealthy businessman." Lu Zhengjie gave the order in surprise.

The Xuanwu family has various privileges in the local area, but it also shoulders the responsibility of protecting the civilians under its jurisdiction.

"Yes, from the second master." A man with a sinister and fierce expression came out and gave a cruel smile, "This thief is so brave, he dares to commit crimes on our Lu family's territory. He fell into my hands. Here, I will keep him alive and not in death."

Such harsh words made Wang Shouzhe look at him more.

"Lu Yi has quite a lot of experience in torture." Lu Zhengjie said with a smile, "You can send a qualified general to learn it."

Wang Shouzhe was noncommittal about this.

If we look purely at torture, Wang Shouzhe's "knowledge" is still very rich. There is a lot of miscellaneous knowledge in this direction. After all, modern criminal investigation dramas, spy dramas... there are too many similar plots, and the methods It's quite scientific.

There was no need to dwell too much on this matter. Now that the task of capturing the fugitive had been completed, Lu Zhengjie personally led Wang Shouzhe back to the main residence of the Lu family in Yingxiu.

Compared to the Shanyang Gongsun clan, which built its main residence on the hillside, it was quite impregnable. The main residence of the Yingxiu Lu family was built on a peninsula in the Yingxiu Lake, surrounded by water on three sides and with one man in charge.

In terms of pure blood relationship, Wang Shouzhe has a deep connection with the Lu family, so he will naturally receive high-level hospitality here.

Before entering the door, a girl in red clothes rushed out and threw herself into Wang Shouzhe's arms: "Cousin Shouzhe, smile and miss you so much."

Lu Xiaoxiao!

The contemporary patriarch Lu Zhengxiong has a daughter who is the most favored.

But before Wang Shouzhe had time to speak, Wang Luojing, who was hiding behind him, suddenly took his hand: "Fourth brother, Jing'er is a little uncomfortable."

Uncomfortable?

Wang Shouzhe was stunned, and hurriedly took her little hand and asked with concern: "Why is Luo Jing uncomfortable? Could it be that she was sleeping in the carriage..."

Halfway through the words, I found that the eyes of the two girls met, their hostility to each other was not concealed at all, and sparks flew everywhere.
