There are many dignitaries living in the southern city of Shendu. There are large blocks of houses connected together, often belonging to the same surname. Many of them are important ministers in the court, and many of them are heroes in the founding of the country. Although they have no real power now.
, but the title and wealth were inherited, and they were quite difficult to provoke in Nancheng.
Deep in the alley of Liuye Street, there is a quite quiet courtyard. It was originally a villa of Duke Liang. But later, the Duke of Liang failed in his rebellion and his whole family was raided. This villa was
It was also taken back by the Shendu Yamen. It was not until many years later that a mysterious buyer bought it, and the courtyard had its owner again.
But the identity of that person has been well hidden and unknown to outsiders.
It's still rainy in the divine capital today. Even though this is probably the last rain of spring, for people, it's a bit disgusting. .??.
The man walking through the street in the rain stopped from time to time. After he was completely sure that no one was following him, he walked into the alley and reached the deepest house. Then he reached out and knocked in front of the door.
, he knocked very rhythmically, one hard and two soft, and repeated this several times before the door slowly opened.
An old man with an old face looked around, and then his voice rang out, "No one saw it, right?"
"You know the rules, I guarantee no one will know." The man smiled humbly and took out a letter wrapped in brown paper from his arms. After the old man took it, he said expressionlessly, "Go to the accounting office to get the money."
After saying this, the old man closed the door with a bang. His body, which was still a little rickety, straightened up instantly. He walked towards the yard with the letter, and soon saw two people in front of a room.
A young man, the old man's old face was already occupied by a smile, and his body became even more stooped at this moment, "Master Qi, there is news."
…
…
The room is covered with a carpet made of precious white deer skin, the three chairs are made of hundreds of years old huanghuali, and the candles are made of the best glue made by the South China Sea sharks. At this moment, the whole room is filled with light.
of fragrance.
An old man with gray hair stood humbly on one side, and the people sitting on the chairs were all quite impressive.
Except for a Taoist nun with a sinister face.
Two of them were met by Chen Chao, the Taoist nun from Sanxi Prefecture, and Xu Yu from Nantian Sect. The other one was the elder of the two Chi Ganquan people, Yu Ke from Liushui Peak.
If Dali Temple wants to hear the Chen Dynasty's murder of monks without authorization, it not only needs to unite the three law divisions, but also needs a monk from each sect to come here to listen. This is to prevent the Daliang Dynasty from engaging in malpractice for personal gain.
The external cultivation sects only put pressure on the Liang Dynasty.
The disciples outside took the letter wrapped in cowhide
When the package was brought in, Xu Yu did not pick it up, and Yu Ke was expressionless and did nothing.
The middle-aged Taoist nun took the letter, opened it, read it a few times, and sneered, "That thief is already at the end of his rope and has no other means! He can only wait to die."
Seeing that the middle-aged Taoist nun had no intention of showing the letter to the two of them, Xu Yu had no choice but to smile bitterly and extend her hand, "Fellow Taoist Wang, can you give this letter to the next person for review?"
The middle-aged Taoist nun then handed over the letter in her hand with a cold face.
After Xu Yu read it, he handed it to Yu Ke.
"In this way, even if the thief is friends with the dean's close disciples, he is not to the point where the dean can come forward. There is really nothing to worry about. As long as we don't let Daliang favor the thief, let him kill him
The monk's crime is enough to make him die here, but it's a pity that he was given such an advantage. If I can bring him back to Nantian Sect, I will definitely torture him to death!"
Xu Yu's face was ugly, and he was already holding back a lot of anger. At this moment, he couldn't take it out on the middle-aged Taoist nun, and could only use it on Chen Chao.
The middle-aged Taoist nun frowned and sneered, "Even if I can take him away, he will still be taken to my Sanxi Mansion. When will it be your Nantian Sect's turn?"
When Xu Yu heard this, his face changed and became darker. He had heard that the person coming from Sanxi Mansion was not Li He, so he felt something was not good. Now, as expected, this woman has been crazy for a long time. She is totally biting anyone she sees.
Mad dog.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, why is this necessary? Now our appeals should be the same. Don't hurt the harmony."
Before Xu Yu could speak, Yu Ke, who had been silent all this time, spoke up and advised, "The three families are now on the same boat, and they should work together as one."
The middle-aged Taoist nun sneered, but she didn't say anything. She just stood up and left without any hesitation.
Xu Yu's face was livid and she didn't say a word. She just waited until the middle-aged Taoist nun left and then waved her hand. Everyone in the room left one after another. In the end, only Yu Ke was left. This middle-aged man with an ordinary face had an expression on his face.
Smiling bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Xu, Taoist Wang is feeling the pain of losing his disciple. You and I should be more considerate."
Xu Yu raised her head and looked at Yu Ke and said, "You know what Sanxi Mansion is like on a normal day, so why bother to say more. Besides, they only sent such a crazy woman to deal with what happened now. What can she do about it? What if something happens later?
Unexpected events, how can we count on her?"
Yu Ke glanced at the letter still on the table and said with a smile, "That thief has no other means. If
What else is there to worry about now?"
Xu Yu stood up, slapped the table, and tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, I hope you can understand that this is not Fangwai, but the sacred capital of the Liang Dynasty. Here is not only the guardian envoy, but also the dean of the academy, and even the dean of the academy.
And His Majesty the Emperor in the palace!"
Those are all big shots, real big shots.
It is not comparable to a Sanxi Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, we must not forget the principle that a single move can affect the whole body. Although our Qi Refiner lineage cannot compete with Daliang Chao, if we receive any unfair treatment here, the whole country will be affected.
Are you going to just sit back and do nothing? No, there are so many people outside Fang, how dare Daliang do anything?"
Yu Ke was also a little angry, but he still suppressed it very well, "Fellow Daoist Xu, don't worry too much. What happened this time was just a coincidence. Besides, we have already done everything well. The man named Li is dead, even if this person
The thief knows the truth, but without evidence, who can say anything?"
Xu Yu took a deep breath, then looked at Yu Ke and said softly, "I hope so."
…
…
Xie Nandu returned to the bank of Nanhu Lake, and there was still half a month left for the Tribunal Trial. The things that happened in Dali Temple must have been heard by some people, so she didn't have to worry about some people coming here to see her, even if they did.
, in fact, it doesn't matter. She only needs to wait until the day half a month later. Of course, before that, it is also essential to practice with her senior brother.
In fact, as early as the third day of studying with Wei Xu, Xie Nandu had already entered the first stage.
Wei Xu did not show much shock, because his husband had long said that his junior sister had amazing talents and it was only a matter of time before she would reach the realm of forgetfulness. What was even more commendable was that her mind was far beyond ordinary people.
At that time, my husband drank some wine and said something that Wei Xu would never forget.
That is how this woman can pass on my mantle.
…
…
The dean has no interest in thinking about what his disciple is thinking. He is currently making an appointment to play chess with someone. Unlike the old friend he was talking to before, the person he is talking to today is another of his disciples.
He accepted seventy-two disciples. Although some of them passed away due to various reasons and were ahead of him, there are still many disciples who are still alive today. Among the remaining disciples, this one has the best chess skills.
, was a national player in the Liang Dynasty named Su Yi.
Su Yi was handsome, gentle and elegant. As early as more than ten years ago, he was still the Su Yi in the hearts of many women in the capital.
Lang, it's a pity that he had to study and play chess all his life, so after more than ten years, he still doesn't have a woman by his side.
"I heard that Mr. got what he wanted and found a little junior sister for our senior brothers. This is really a wonderful thing."
Su Yi stretched out his hand and made a move, just deliberately forcing a good situation to become evenly matched.
The dean nodded with satisfaction, "Your little junior sister is like a piece of rough jade that still needs to be polished. Now I will ask Wei Xu to teach me for the time being."
Su Yi nodded in praise and said, "Since he is Senior Brother Wei, there is nothing to say. Senior Brother is extremely talented in both cultivation and study. I'm afraid there are not many other Senior Brothers who can compare with him. He is the one who gives lectures to my Junior Sister.
It must be good when you think about it, but as a senior brother, since I know that there is such a little junior sister, why should I give him a meeting gift? I just don’t know what the little junior sister likes."
The dean took a look at the situation on the chessboard, dropped a piece, shook his head and said, "Your junior sister comes from a noble family, but it is rare for her to be elegant. Anything you give her feels vulgar, so don't give her a chance."
After hearing this, Su Yi felt a little sad when she made her move again, "Then maybe I won't give you anything as a gift. I'm afraid the junior sister will think that my senior brother is stingy."
The dean sneered, "I still don't know what you are thinking about? It's best to stop your thoughts. Besides, your junior sister probably already has someone she likes. Boys and girls are suitable for each other. At your age, why are you joining in the fun?
?”
Su Yi groaned and asked in disappointment, "Which boy is it from?"
The dean said casually, "The one who is causing trouble in the capital of God now."
That matter was already causing quite a stir in the city of God, so he naturally knew about it.
"Student, I heard that the monks outside that place have already entered the city of gods. Since you are my junior sister's favorite person, what don't you do, sir?"
Su Yi looked at the dean.
"That's all my guess, so what if it is, am I your junior sister's husband, so am I that boy's husband?" The dean snorted coldly, "There is no such thing as this in the world, that's what I'm saying."
"Sir, you talk so arrogantly."
Su Yi was a little helpless.
The dean said calmly, "I'm used to it, it's just like this."
Su Yi gave a dry laugh and said nothing more, but then made a move and killed every step of the way.
Seeing that his defeat was determined on the chessboard, the dean's expression became worse and worse. Finally, he knocked over the chessboard with a wave of his sleeve and cursed, "You traitor!"
Su Yi looked innocent, "Sir, it's just a game of chess, why are you so unreasonable?"
The dean's face was filled with anger, "How many words do you know? Why are you trying to reason with me?!"
