Chapter 277: Dali Temple (2)
After hearing the news, the constable hurried in.
Almost all the officials in Dali Temple were present.
“What’s the matter?”
Official Chen was interrupted halfway and looked unhappy.
“Lord Chen, a demon appeared in the city. It even transformed into our people.”
“What?”
Official Chen frowned and asked, “Did anyone die?”
The constable shook his head. “Thankfully, a lady pa.s.sed by and destroyed those demons.”
“Lady?”
The State Minister stood up and asked faintly, “What kind of girl is she?”
“I don’t know who that lady is, but I know that the person accompanying her is the magistrate of Lin Jiang Mansion, Lord Chu.”
“Chu Sihan?”
The State Minister narrowed his eyes. “Could it be her?”
Official Chen was puzzled. “Does the State Minister know that girl?”
The State Minister said indifferently, “If I’m not wrong, that lady should be the disciple of an old friend of mine.”
Lu Zhou had once mentioned to him that Lu Sheng was the girl who could change Chu Sihan’s fate.
It must be her if she was traveling with Chu Sihan.
“Where are they?”
Official Chen asked the constable.
The constable said, “They’re heading towards Dali Temple. They should be coming here too.”
Official Chen nodded slightly and hurriedly said to the State Minister, “I’ll go and fetch Lord Chu first. Please wait here for a while.”
“I’ll follow you there.”
Hence, everyone from Dali Temple went to the entrance to wait for them.
When Chu Yun saw this scene from afar, he was puzzled.
“Lord, could something big have happened at Dali Temple?”
“What do you mean?”
Lu Sheng lifted the curtain and asked.
Chu Yun pointed at the entrance of the temple. “Miss, look.”
Lu Sheng looked up and saw a group of people gathered outside the door, all looking in their direction.
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and looked over. When he saw the crowd, he was a little surprised.
“Lord, you’re right. The State Minister is really here!”
After hearing Chu Yun’s words, Lu Sheng was certain that the State Minister was among that group of people.
Chu Yun stopped the carriage at the entrance of Dali Temple. Chu Sihan had just alighted when Official Chen brought a group of people forward and bowed slightly.
“Lord Chu!”
“Lord Chen!”
They were of the same rank, so they naturally had to reciprocate.
After Chu Sihan bowed to Official Chen, he bowed slightly to his master. “Greetings, State Minister.”
“Lord Chu, there’s no need to be so polite.”
The State Minister looked at Lu Sheng through the veil and asked faintly, “You must be Miss Lu?”
On the way down the carriage, she was surprised. “The State Minister knows me?”
“I’m old friends with your master.”
The State Minister’s voice was still clear and faint. It sounded like a stream, gentle but heartless.
“I see!”
Lu Sheng nodded in realization.
So she was Master’s friend. No wonder he knew her.
However, it was unknown if he was a friend of the Third Prince or her master.
“Lord Chu, Miss Lu, let’s go in first.”
Official Chen gestured for them to go in.
Chu Sihan returned the same gesture and everyone walked back together.
When they entered the hall, Official Chen could not wait to speak. “I heard that when Lord and Miss Lu came over, Miss Lu had to deal with two Illusory Demons on the way. How did you differentiate between an Illusory Demon and an ordinary person?”
The owner of Lotus Flower House was the only one who died yesterday, but five people died today.
Now that the entire capital was in a state of panic, His Majesty had already given the order for them to solve the case. He even specially invited the State Minister over to help.
However, they were mortals. They usually investigated human cases. For such a strange case, they temporarily had no clue.
