The same morning under the same sky.
The Forbidden City in Beijing is peaceful, warm and full of comfort.
The outer city outside Xi'an is noisy and somewhat solemn.
The Laojun Temple, which may have hidden the demons of the White Lotus Sect, is located in the only prosperous place in the outer city.
It is a market, a market spontaneously established by poor people in the outer city and farmers in surrounding villages.
Things in the city are always expensive, always stale and lacking in quality.
Therefore, this market in the outer city has become a popular place for ordinary people to see freshly picked vegetables, oil-ground noodles squeezed by farmers, sesame seeds, walnuts, various dried and fresh fruits, pork, fresh fish, and various poultry.
The market was full of people, old and young, men and women, forming a vivid picture of fireworks.
Although this picture is not beautiful, it is extremely realistic.
The smoke of fireworks in the scroll and the incense floating in Laojun Temple are intertwined, and they are quite indistinguishable from each other.

He Guangyi was sitting in front of a breakfast stall, holding a fried dough stick in one hand and slowly stirring the marinated tofu in his hand with a spoon.
The tofu curd is white, and the marinade floating on it is soy sauce-colored and mixed with some garlic juice.
Dozens of plainclothes Jin Yiwei fans were also hiding around, pretending to be ordinary people. However, their eyes were looking at the closed Laojun Temple, which was small in size.
"Isn't there any sweet tofu?" He Guangyi stirred the tofu a few times, took a small bite, then put down his spoon and asked softly.
"Sweet?" The lady selling tofu nao said in disbelief as if she had heard a fantasy, "If it's sweet, eat sesame balls and glutinous rice cakes, sugar candies, and candied date cakes. How can tofu nao be sweet?"
As he said that, he suddenly laughed, turned around and said to the man frying fried dough sticks next to him, "Ha, Mr. Master, is there sweet tofu curd? This is the first time I've heard of it!"
"You are so careless, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!" The man frying fried dough sticks was furious, "If the customer says he has it, he will have it. How can you laugh?"
Sister Tofu Nao immediately shut up and said nothing, while the man frying the fried dough sticks lowered his head and smiled humbly and apologetically at He Guangyi.
He Guangyi shook his head, pushed aside the marinade on the tofu puffs with a spoon, carefully took a small bite, then frowned and thought about it, then mixed the marinade on the side with the tofu puffs, and took a big mouthful.
When the lady selling tofu puffs saw him eating a lot, her face immediately showed a smile. Then she looked around, and the smile on her face turned into suspicion.
"Why are there so many foreigners this morning?"
Her unintentional words immediately made He Guangyi alert.
The casually dressed Jin Yiwei almost didn't make a sound, and when ordering nearby dishes, locals were asked to order. How could she tell that this tofu noodle seller was a foreigner?
"Sister, how did you tell?" He Guangyi pushed the bowl away and asked seriously.
"Look!" the eldest sister said, pointing to a plain-clothes Jin Yiwei who was eating sesame seed cakes at the stall next door, "Um, as long as you have a steamed bun in your hand, no matter what kind of steamed bun, you have to break it and make it into a steamed bun!"
He Guangyi took a look and found that it was indeed the case.
People eating at the market, young and old, will all split the pasta and add vegetables and meat.
At this moment, Guo Yuanshan came over with Zhang Erlang, who had a low eyebrow.
"It's been investigated clearly!" Guo Yuanshan said in a low voice.
"Are you sure the person you are looking for is inside?" He Guangyi also lowered his voice.
"yes........."
"I didn't ask you!" He Guangyi looked behind Guo Yuanshan and lowered his hand, "Come here and tell me!"
Originally, the elder sister selling tofu bread next to her was watching curiously. The moment Zhang Erlang came over, her curious expression immediately turned into fear, and she shrank behind her husband, not daring to look this way again.
Zhang Erlang pressed his hand downward to signal the couple not to make a fuss.
Then he stooped slightly and said in a low voice, "In response to your words, my subordinates arrested thirty White Lotus cult members hiding in the outer city last night. Most of them pointed out that they were bewitched by a man named Su Cheng.
!”
As he spoke, his voice paused, as if giving He Guangyi time to digest the meaning, and then continued softly, "The man named Su Sucheng is hiding in Laojun Temple. This temple was originally a Taoist temple, but he came here somehow.
More than a dozen monks."
"On weekdays, they have accumulated a lot of good reputation by treating and administering medicine to the people around them, but..."
He Guangyi listened patiently, and was very unhappy when the other party showed off, "But what?"
"But I think these monks are not good monks, and this temple is not a good temple either!" Zhang Erlang said, "I just talked about the Buddhist teachings of reincarnation in the past and present life, and gathered many pilgrims. And there were some missing children in the outer city last year.
Women’s affairs also have something to do with them!”
He Guangyi looked gloomily and thought for a while, "I heard that you Zhang Erlang is also a somewhat chivalrous person. In the outer city, you don't care about these things when they happen?" He said with a sneer, "This is you.
’s territory!”
Zhang Erlang still looked calm, "There is someone in the government office who helped Laojun Temple say hello. The territory does not belong to villains, but to the government. People in the government and villains always have to give face. He has neither talked to me"
The conflict has not harmed me. Villains cannot control things too leniently and mess around in the world. For the sake of face, things must be acceptable."
He Guangyi looked at Zhang Erlang for a long time and suddenly nodded in approval.
"It's a pity to be a shady gangster!"
He really became interested in talents. The first reason was because of Zhang Erlang's work. Guo Yuanshan handed over the matter to this person. He first conducted a secret investigation and then made a surprise attack. He made a sudden arrest without leaking the news beforehand. After the arrest, he immediately inquired.
Inform Guo Yuanshan of the situation.
This kind of decisiveness is not something that ordinary people in the world can have.
The second reason is because his words and logic are so difficult to find problems with. From his words, you can tell that this man has a delicate heart underneath his rough appearance.
"What a pity!" He Guangyi said calmly.
Guo Yuanshan suddenly poked Zhang Erlang in the back and whispered, "Thank you for your cultivation!"
How could Zhang Erlang not understand its meaning? At this moment, his mind was already spinning a thousand times.
He could politely refuse Guo Yuanshan's solicitation, but when the Guo Yuanshan in front of him met a big shot who wanted to kneel down and lick him, how could he decline?
Declining politely means not knowing how to appreciate someone, and the consequence of not knowing how to appreciate someone is that there will never be a person like him in the world again.
He hesitated and became even more humble, saying, "I thank you, sir, for your cultivation!"
He Guangyi nodded, and the conversation suddenly changed, "Are everything ready?"
"Brothers, be on standby at any time!" Guo Yuanshan whispered, "Zhang Erlang's men can get in through the gutter and then quietly open the temple door." He said, "I have also deployed men outside, and everyone will definitely escape."
stay home!"
"You still have to be careful and don't be careless!" He Guangyi looked around again and frowned, "Tsk, it's really troublesome to have such a market nearby!"
Indeed, there are too many restrictions on arresting people in downtown areas. And once someone runs out and blends in with the crowd, it will be even more difficult to catch them.
And if, if both sides take action, Dao Gun Wu Yan will be in trouble if he hurts innocent people.
After all, Jinyiwei is a government official who has to have scruples, but those demons from the White Lotus Sect have no scruples at all.
At this moment, shouts suddenly came from the other end of the market.
"The official is here!"
