Chapter 409: Duke Ying's mansion was confiscated and his family was exterminated
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be the queen of the Duke because of your scrawled face." Lu Xingshi looked at the man up and down.
The other party told me his situation very honestly.
His name is Zhen Yu, and he used to be... The plot is too long, and Lu Xingshi doesn't want to summarize it. It is probably the strong man version of Jia Baoyu, and the timeline is fifteen years after Jia's house was ransacked.
This Zhen Yu is not Jia Baoyu. He did not pass the imperial examination. He just came out of the cell some time ago. The reason was that the late emperor died suddenly and the world was amnesty.
Lu Xingshi could understand the new emperor's offer of amnesty to the whole world after he ascended the throne, but he didn't quite understand how the former emperor could offer amnesty to the whole world after his death.
In addition to not understanding this, Lu Xingshi also doesn't understand how a person like you, who has been in prison for fifteen years, can have such a burly body.
He had heard a little bit about the food in prison, which basically meant that he would not die of hunger.
What's more important is that being in a prison is not just about being imprisoned. The prisoners need to work. Therefore, within this fifteen-year sentence, very few people can come out alive.
This is a feudal dynasty, not a modern society. There is only unimaginable darkness, and there is no darkness that is impossible.
"Taoist Master, that voice just now was..." Zhen Yu didn't really want to talk to Lu Xingshi about his appearance. He was more concerned about why he heard the voice.
"Based on my experience over the years, there is a high probability that you have hit a ghost."
"How about this, you feed the ghost with your body, and I will give you a better life later." Lu Xingshi put forward a very constructive suggestion.
After hearing these words, Zhen Yu felt that he should not stay here and run away quickly.
Is this something a normal person can say?
"Taoist priest is so funny. I have something else to do. Taoist priest can live in my old house as he pleases." Zhen Yu planned to run away.
After saying that, he just turned around, only to find that the surrounding ruins were being covered by prosperity.
Lu Xingshi stood beside him, watching this scene silently.
The karma began to exert its force, just like the flying bird, but the limitations of this karmic barrier seemed a bit large, and it was not able to cover the entire city like the flying bird.
This karma can only be one street at most.
His location is naturally not in the capital, and it is not even within the dragnet.
If you want to become stronger, you definitely can't do it in such a weird capital.
Although the karma is strange, compared with the capital, it is still a lot simpler.
In addition, the originally abandoned mansions and gardens are also being restored bit by bit, transforming into a different situation.
"Gongguo Ying's Mansion, your family has recovered, why don't you quickly use your identity to go back and respond to everything." Lu Xingshi teased.
However, Zhen Yu had no such idea at all and was so frightened that she shivered.
He is not a fool. His own Duke Ying has died a long time ago. He was able to survive only by abandoning this Duke and being demoted to a commoner.
Just as Lu Xingshi imagined, the family was ransacked and the family was wiped out.
He was the only one in the huge Duke Ying's mansion.
"Brother Guogong is back. What are you doing standing at the door?" came a charming voice.
At some unknown time, a woman stood at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
"Sister Rong, I..." Zhen Yu was confused and was about to walk over, but Lu Xingshi grabbed her by the collar.
With such a tug, he immediately came back to his senses. Where was his sister Rong? She was clearly a giant fox standing tall and wearing human clothes.
If you put aside the fox appearance, the figure is indeed exquisite.
Furui is ecstatic!
Lu Xingshi saw through the other party's true situation. This person was not a fox demon or vixen, but a person who had been embodied by karma. Similar to labels.
"Tao...Taoist Master..."
"Sister Rong, she hanged herself fifteen years ago." Zhen Yu said stumblingly.
"Oh." Lu Xingshi replied very coldly. He didn't care how the other person died. Obviously, the karma of Yingguofu Street had little to do with the way these people died.
The overall karma is like a large gathering place to his senses, and it is still evolving in real time.
This karma is not one person or two people, but the entire existence called Ying Guofu.
Judging from the tone of this human fox, Ying Guofu's house was not confiscated and his family was exterminated. Zhen Yu successfully took over the title and became Ying Guogong.
Moreover, the protagonist is Zhen Yu, and Lu Xingshi is an outsider. It seems that the human fox has not seen Lu Xingshi, but instead walks over to greet Zhen Yu and is about to enter the house.
"Brother Guo Gong is really interesting. What are you saying to the air?" The human fox just coerced Zhen Yu into Ying Guo Mansion.
"Taoist, Taoist, save me!!!" Zhen Yu cried. He didn't realize that everything was aimed at him. He just thought that Lu Xingshi was using magic to make these monsters invisible to him.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go in with you." Lu Xingshi found it very interesting, it was like watching a costume TV series on the spot.
Zhen Yu was heartbroken and wanted to struggle, but there was no way to break free from the control of his sister Rong Hu, so he entered Ying Guo Mansion.
"Actually, if you think about it, staying here is actually quite good."
Lu Xingshi suddenly opened his mouth, which made Zhen Yu think that Lu Xingshi might have gone against the grain. Why would he, a good living person, stay in this place full of monsters and monsters? "Look, here, you are the noble Duke Ying. As long as you ignore that these monsters and ghosts look different from humans, you can still live the rich life you used to have."
"But after you leave here, you are just a commoner, and you are still a commoner who has been in prison for fifteen years."
"Eating bran-thick vegetables from now on... No, eating bran-throat vegetables is a compliment to you. It's normal to be hungry and full."
"Even if you are bullied at work and oppressed in life, why not stay here and enjoy it all." Lu Xingshi's words made the struggling Zhen Yu stop.
This makes sense. If he is not good at literature or martial arts, and he has no family background, then he will probably end up like what Lu Xingshi said.
As for the connections and relationships in the past, not to mention the matter of people leaving for tea, just fifteen years have passed and they have long since disappeared.
What's more, he was able to survive and get out of prison alive because he had inherited the favors and connections from the past.
If you go to them now, you will definitely be treated with courtesy, but you will definitely not be able to reach the level you want.
You can't even see the master's family, and the only people who will receive him are the stewards.
At this moment, he was shaken.
Just when he was wavering, the appearance of Sister Hu Rong, the person who had been taking him into the house, also changed greatly. Originally, the person accounted for 30% and the fox accounted for 70%. Now the proportion is reversed, and only a part of the body is worn. The sign of the fox.
His appearance suddenly brightened up.
Zhen Yu saw this change and was able to accept it immediately.
He is also a quick-thinking person, and he immediately understood one thing, that is, the less he rejects this 'Ying Guo Mansion' and actively accepts it, the more like Ying Guo Mansion everything will be.
However, in Lu Xingshi's eyes, this is not a question of rejection and acceptance at all, but Zhen Yu took the initiative to enter the depths of this karma, so he saw what he wanted to see.
Although this was seduced by him, it was mainly his own choice. He, a stranger like him, believed it after just a few words. It was just because it was good for him, rather than because he was really bewitched by Lu Xingshi.
Just now, Lu Xingshi said that he wanted Zhen Yu to die and then save him, so why didn't he believe it?
"What the Taoist said makes sense, but what should I do next?" Zhen Yu decided to stay in this 'Yingguo Duke's Mansion'.
Even if he dies because of this, it is still better than living on the streets and suffering.
"Be yourself, of course."
"But it's not you who you are now, but you who didn't have your family confiscated and successfully inherited the title and became Duke Ying."
"To put it simply, it's just about eating, drinking and having fun. You should be able to do this." Lu Xingshi continued to give the other party bad ideas.
After hearing this, Zhen Yu couldn't help but trembled, and a familiar feeling was returning.
Fifteen years in prison made him forget a lot, but now he is beginning to recover bit by bit.
If you ask him to take the imperial examination, he may not be able to do it, but if you ask him to eat, drink, play, recite poetry, play chess, etc., then he will be able to do it and he will never be able to do it again.
As this idea deepened, the ratio of humans to foxes also changed from 73 to 91, leaving only a small part that has not completely faded away.
At the same time, the entire Duke Ying's mansion and the entire street became more and more lively.
It was getting closer and closer to its original appearance, and Lu Xingshi could even hear the cries of hawkers and the flow of people on the street.
Before entering Duke Ying's mansion, there was no one on the street.
At the same time, servants, servants, stewards and other personnel also appeared in Duke Ying's mansion, which gave the entire mansion a lively atmosphere and was no longer as lifeless as before.
Later, a group of warblers and swallows came, making Zhen Yu feel confused about reality and fiction.
Reality is extremely cruel, and now falsehood seems to be replacing the reality in his memory bit by bit.
"Tao...Taoist Master..." Zhen Yu struggled out, with a rosy face, and immediately asked: "What will happen if I stay here?"
"Of course I want to enjoy a wealthy life and become a noble prince." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.
This made Zhen Yu even more excited.
"It's just, do you believe it yourself?" Lu Xingshi suddenly said this.
"I...I..." Zhen Yu came to Lu Xingshi to ask this question, not because he wanted to get the truth from Lu Xingshi, but because he wanted to gain his resonance and affirmation to deepen his determination.
"Of course I believe it!" Zhen Yu said through gritted teeth.
He was very dissatisfied with Lu Xingshi's answer. This was not the answer he needed.
"Yes, then why are you asking me? Just enjoy your life. Why are you asking me?" Lu Xingshi still kept smiling.
At this point, he can be sure that Zhen Yu is the obsession of the Yingguo Duke's karma and is also a part of this karma. Only his arrival and recognition can make the entire Yingguo Duke's Palace come alive.
Without him, this place would just be a desolate ruin instead of the weird karma it is today.
