Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After some arrangements by the servants, a room was prepared for Lu Xunhuan, allowing him to temporarily live in Lord Sun's house.

As for how long he would stay, Lord Sun didn't say, and he didn't ask.

After Lord Sun settled him down, he went to bed.

Lu Xunhuan was fine, so he just looked around the yard.

Sometimes I look at the flowers, sometimes I go to Yage to read a book.

After a while, the servant came to him and said, "Master Lu, I'm out buying groceries. Please help watch the yard. If anyone comes to visit, please inform the master."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Go ahead."

After the servant left, Lu Xunhuan set up a chair and sat in the yard.

Admire the flowers, bask in the sun, and enjoy the clear and crisp autumn weather.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

He went to open the gate.

Outside the courtyard gate stood a man in his thirties.

The man bowed and said, "I come to see Master Sun."

Lu Xun Huan let the man in: "Tell me what you want to say. The master is sleeping and it's not good to disturb him."

The man pulled out a thousand taels of silver from his pocket and said, "This is from my student Zhu Anguo, a filial gift to you, my Lord."

Lu Xun Huan accepted the banknote and nodded, "I'll remember this and tell your Excellency."

After Zhu Anguo left, Lu Xunhuan entered the elegant pavilion and wrote down the names and amounts of silver.

Then he went to sit in the yard again.

After sitting for a while, someone knocked on the door again.

Lu Xunhuan opened the door again. Outside the door stood a noble lady and a woman who looked like a maid.

Lu Xun Huan let the person in first: "Madam, who are you here to visit the master for? Tell me and I will write it down. The master was reviewing papers all night and is sleeping now."

The lady walked over to the chair and sat down. "Could it be that there are many students visiting your place, sir?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Not much, not much."

The noblewoman looked up at him and said, "I have visited Lord Sun's residence before, but I haven't seen you. Are you his new servant?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "At my age, I'm a little too old to be a servant. I'm a relative of an adult."

The noble lady said "Oh" and looked Lu Xunhuan up and down.

"I have two children, one older and one younger, who are both naughty and unwilling to learn. I would like to ask adults to recommend a knowledgeable teacher to teach them."

Lu Xunhuan understood that he was not here to offer bribes, but to hire a private instructor.

He asked, "May I ask which family the lady is from? I will write it down and give it to the master when he wakes up."

The noble lady stood up and walked slowly, admiring the various flowers blooming in the courtyard. "The mansion of the governor."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Remember, I will definitely pass it on."

The lady stopped and turned to look at him: "Are you reliable? You won't forget it, right?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I won't forget."

The noble lady moved and walked towards the courtyard gate: "It seems that you don't know the etiquette."

Lu Xunhuan followed her without saying a word.

After the lady left the courtyard, she instructed again, "Don't forget."

Lu Xunhuan saluted: "Don't worry, Madam."

The noble lady turned around and said to the maid guarding the door, "Let's go."

The maid followed the lady towards a carriage and asked in a low voice, "So soon, Madam, you went in without even a sip of tea?"

Lu Xunhuan stood by the door and listened, and couldn't help but laugh.

No wonder she said she didn't know etiquette. The wife of the governor's family came, but she didn't even make a cup of tea. It seemed a bit rude.

Moreover, the other party said that they were the family of a senior official in the provincial government, but he still blocked them and prevented them from seeing Lord Sun.

However, he didn't care.

The governor of the prefecture is to blame for the mess that Nanjun City has become. It can be imagined that he is not a good official.

He was too lazy to flatter.

Lord Sun slept until noon, then got up, sat at the dinner table, and asked the servant, "How is the city today?"

The servant replied, "It's better than yesterday. Although there are still soldiers and yamen runners patrolling, there are fewer than yesterday. Many people were arrested last night and are being interrogated today."

Lord Sun shook his head: "What crime have the people committed?"

He said to Lu Xunhuan, "Let's eat."

Lu Xun Huan reported to him, "We had two visitors this morning. One was the candidate Zhu Anguo, who gave us a thousand taels of silver."

"One is the wife of a prominent family in the state capital. She wants to hire a private tutor for her two children and asked you to recommend a good teacher."

Lord Sun memorized in his mind: "Zhu Anguo?"

He nodded: "Now I remember, his father is a businessman, and the family has a little money. As for the article, it's pretty good."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Give us a ranking?"

Lord Sun said, "We'll have to wait and see. We'll make a decision on the last day."

He added, "The two children of the governor's family are already quite grown up. We've hired seven or eight private tutors, but no one can keep them in check. It's really hard to teach them."

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "Children from powerful families are spoiled from childhood. Bad habits are hard to change. It's not something an ordinary teacher can control."

Lord Sun gestured, "Let's eat. We'll talk after the notice is posted."

Lu Xun Huan said, "The situation in the city is causing panic among the people. I don't know when it will end."

Lord Sun shook his head. "The Hongtian Gang has been rampant in Nanjun City for many years, but they've never encountered such a major setback. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to give up in the short term."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Who is the leader of the Hongtian Gang, and where is their headquarters in the city?"

Lord Sun shook his head again: "Who knows? Scholars like us never ask about such matters."

Lu Xun Huan seemed to be talking to himself: "In troubled times, severe punishments are needed, and serious illnesses require strong medicine..."

During the day, Lu Xunhuan hid in Lord Sun's house, sometimes chatting and sometimes reading.

In the evening, after dinner and washing up, he went to his room.

He stayed there until late at night, and when Lord Sun and the servant fell asleep, he got up and covered his face.

This time when he came out of the Dragon Palace, he did not bring the magic sword with him, mainly because he was afraid that it would be too conspicuous.

After covering his face, he took out a piece of rope that he had deliberately found during the day from the foot of the bed, quietly opened the door, ran across the yard, and flew over the courtyard wall.

There were still some soldiers patrolling the streets of Nanjun City at night.

He held the rope in his hand and strode straight towards the patrolling soldiers.

The patrolling soldiers were suddenly frightened when they saw a masked man appear, and immediately shouted a warning.

"Masked man, masked man..."

Lu Xunhuan flew forward without any hesitation, and swept out with the rope carrying the magical power.

The soldiers flew away when touched and fell down when bumped into. After a while, a large group of people were rolling on the ground.

After knocking down about a hundred soldiers, Lu Xunhuan walked forward without looking back.

Not far away, he met a group of patrolling soldiers, who also climbed up the rope without saying a word.

The rope was as fast as lightning, whistling.

A moment later, the hundred soldiers were knocked down again.

Masked men were spotted in the city, and some soldiers had already launched fireworks into the sky.

So, more soldiers were rushing towards this side.

Lu Xunhuan looked up at the fireworks, then quickened his pace and headed towards the north gate.

The four walls of Nanjun City were guarded by soldiers, including some archers.

When everyone saw the fireworks rising in the city, they quickly took their positions, with their bows and crossbows aimed at the city walls.

Not long after, the soldiers guarding the north city wall, with the help of the lights near the city gate, suddenly saw a masked man rushing towards them.

An officer shouted, "Release!"

So everyone shot arrows at the masked man.

The masked man was naturally Lu Xunhuan. When he heard someone giving the order, he quickly swung the rope in front of him.

The ropes swung up, forming an indestructible protective wall that covered his entire body, making it completely watertight.

At the same time, his figure was as fast as lightning.

The soldiers on the city wall had just fired a round of arrows when he rushed into the city gate.

There were originally about ten soldiers guarding the city gate.

But seeing the masked man coming at them with such force, no one dared to stop him and they all quickly dodged.

Lu Xunhuan waved his palm and struck hard at the north gate.

With a loud bang, the city gate was smashed to pieces.

He walked through the city without stopping and reached the outside of the city.

By the time the soldiers on the city wall rushed from the inner wall to the outer wall, their bows had not yet been fully drawn, and all they could see was a fleeting figure of his.

Then, his figure completely disappeared into the night.

That night, Nanjun City was in turmoil all night long.

Especially at the north gate, most of the soldiers were stationed here.

But everyone waited until dawn, but the masked man did not appear again.

The reason why Lu Xunhuan showed up again was to let the garrison and the yamen runners know that they had arrested the wrong people so that they would release those innocent people.

He had to break down the north gate and leave in order to temporarily give everyone the illusion that the masked man had left.

At the same time, he also gave the Hongtian Gang an illusion, making them mistakenly believe that he was gone.

Only after he left did the members of the Hongtian Gang dare to commit crimes, and he could then deal with them.

Sure enough, the next morning, after receiving the report, the governor of the state discussed with the garrison officers and released all the people who had been arrested the night before.
