Chapter 181
"See the commander. This subordinate just saw a... paper man of unknown origin. I was worried about the commander's safety and came here to rescue him. Please give the commander's instructions."
"I'm fine." Lu Heng replied lightly and asked, "Where did that thing go?"
"Run to the southwest."
"Chase. Surround it, don't let it run away."
"Yes."
The subordinates clasped their fists together, well-trained and spread out from both sides, obviously they are used to this kind of thing. In addition to Jin Yiwei, the officers of the county government office also woke up and ran out to help. The chaotic sounds of running sounded from all over the government office, and the shouts came one after another, which pierced the quiet night in an instant.
Lu Heng stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, with a calmness of staying out of the way. He turned around and asked Wang Yanqing, "Is it cold?"
The buttons on Wang Yanqing's shirt were neatly tied, and he shook his head with a solemn face. Lu Heng said: "That's good. It may take a while. Do you want to watch outside or want to go back to the house to rest? If you want to go back, I will send a team of people to guard the door, so don't worry about safety."
Wang Yanqing still shook his head: "No, I want to watch outside."
Seeing her insistence, Lu Heng stopped persuading her, and said, "I might not be able to take care of you after a while. Be careful, don't go to dark places."
"I understand." Wang Yanqing replied, "Second brother, go get busy, don't worry about me. I'll just see for myself."
The courtyards that had fallen into a deep sleep were lit up one by one. Cheng Zhifu ran out without wearing his clothes, and asked in shock, "Lord Lu, what happened?"
Lu Heng stood in the center of the crowd wearing a cyan official uniform. His waistline was tied up with a leather belt, revealing tall and straight shoulders, a straight back, and slender legs. Even when he stood in the crowd, he was the most striking one. Zoran is independent and has an amazing sense of oppression.
The moist and cool wind came from the depths of the night, the firelight swayed from side to side, and the light and shadow quickly passed over Lu Heng, flickering and darkening, uncertain. Lu Heng's profile was in the firelight, as delicate as jade: "I don't know. I heard a strange noise in the middle of the night, and I opened the window and found a strange-looking paper man standing on the roof. It did not know what to do, and then jumped to The front yard is down."
Cheng Zhifu's voice changed: "What, paper man?"
The Jinyiwei brought by Lu Heng surrounded him, and ran back from the front alone, clasped his fists and said, "Return to the commander, my subordinates clearly saw the paper figurine running in this direction, but it suddenly disappeared."
"Oh?" Lu Heng asked, "Have you checked the intersection ahead?"
"It's all guarding people, and no one sees it pass."
Cheng Zhifu hid behind Lu Heng, and when he heard this, his face was pale with fright, and his voice trembled: "Dangguanfu, how can there be such a thing! Could it be that there are ghosts and gods?"
Lu Heng looked back at Cheng Zhifu: "The governor believes in ghosts and gods?"
Cheng Zhifu hesitated for a while when asked, and said unconvincingly: "If you don't say that you are strange, you will naturally not believe it... But what Mr. Lu has seen with his own eyes, there are officials everywhere now, and that strange thing is out of thin air. Disappeared, this... I have been an official for 20 years, and I have never seen such a strange thing."
Lu Heng nodded and sighed: "Yeah, after it fell, I immediately arranged for Jin Yiwei and the yamen to chase after it, but it disappeared in plain sight. The yamen is only so big, where can it hide?"
Cheng Zhifu heard it and immediately said: "Xiaguan has nothing to do with this matter. If Mr. Lu doesn't believe it, you can go and search Xiaguan's house. Xiaguan has nothing to say."
Seeing Tao Yiming approaching slowly from behind, Lu Heng asked with a smile, "Tao Zhixian, what do you think?"
Tao Yiming also handed over and said, "Xiaguan is willing to cooperate with Master Lu in investigating the case."
Lu Heng was rude, and immediately sent someone to search the house, not even the houses of Cheng Youhai and Tao Yiming. The officers and soldiers held the lights and opened the doors one by one to search, and everyone stood outside together, silently waiting for the results of the search.
In July, the weather is getting colder, and the night is already a little cold. Cheng Zhifu rubbed his arms and said, "Master Lu, forgive me, I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't put on my clothes. The poor appearance made Master Lu laugh."
Lu Heng nodded and smiled, indicating that he didn't care. After waiting for a while, Jin Yiwei finished the search, and came out to report to Lu Heng: "The commander, I didn't find the paper man."
There was no movement on Tao Yiming's face, but Cheng Zhifu gasped: "This... what the hell is this!"
At this time, someone hurried in and said in a panic, "Master Cheng, Master Lu, Taozhi County, something happened!"
Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged and asked, "What's the panic?"
"I don't know when a paper figure was hung at the entrance of the county government office. Come and have a look!"
Lu Heng and Cheng Zhifu heard about this incident and hurried to the door. The people of the county government rushed to the gate again, and sure enough, outside the main gate, there was a paper man on the steps.
As soon as Cheng Zhifu saw this paper figure, he snorted and quickly covered his eyes. There were also discussions among the officers and soldiers: "Obviously all the intersections are well guarded, how did it get outside?"
The voices of people were amazed, and silent panic spread through the night. As if he couldn't hear it, Lu Heng quietly walked to the paper figurine and stood face to face with the paper figurine who was waiting for him.
I couldn't see clearly from a distance just now, but now that I stand close, I realize that the piercing is really true. Lu Heng touched the paper and asked, "Which shop's craftsmanship is this?"
