Chapter 321 What is the relationship between gluttonous food and Nufu Sect
Xu Zhiqiong returned to the Zhonglang Courtyard. He did not go to the main courtyard, but went directly to the east courtyard and released several sergeants from the horns.
They didn't know they were dead and thought Xu Zhiqiong had tied them up in sacks and kidnapped them.
A sergeant named Deng San, who had been in the army for more than ten years and believed that he had some knowledge, first discussed the price with Xu Zhiqiong: "I said to this brother, you defeated us and we also gave in. Take us with you."
What do you mean by coming here?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said nothing.
Deng San nodded and said: "Okay, this aura shows that he is a serious expert, but I have something to say, please listen carefully.
If you want to kidnap people, you are looking for ordinary people to do it. We are not ordinary people. We are eating royal food. If you really provoke us, you will not have a good life in the future. Even if you cannot be caught in the future, your whole family will not even think about it..."
Before he finished speaking, Chang Decai kicked Deng San in the face, grabbed his hair, and beat him violently. The beating made Deng San cry for his father and mother, and his tone immediately changed. He cried towards Xu Zhiqiong: "Good man, you
Raise your hand and tell me how much money I want. My body is weak and I really can't bear the beating."
Chang Decai stepped on Deng San's head: "If you can't bear the beating, don't talk too much and ask me what you want!"
Xu Zhiqiong asked several questions one by one, and then asked Chang Decai to beat them up one by one, and basically got some clues.
These sergeants were not from Yuling City, nor were they from the same camp. They were from all over Huazhou, and they had not known each other before.
They were all summoned by Liu Jiangpu to go on duty in the mountains. Because the work was hard, each person was given an extra one hundred pence per day.
One hundred cents is equivalent to the daily expenses of a middle-class family in Daxuan. One hundred cents a day is three taels of silver a month. For them, this job is a real good job.
There is only one veteran like Deng San who has been in the army for more than ten years. The others have been in the army for various years, some have been in the army for three to five years, and some have been in the army for a few months.
They have two characteristics in common: first, they have not married, and second, they have many brothers in the family.
If such a person dies in an accident, things will be easier to calm down.
Xu Zhiqiong saw that Liu Jiangpu had chosen this group of people because he had no intention of letting them go back alive.
Because the length of time on the job is different, the value of these people is also very different. A few people went to the mountains and worked as a job for three or five days, and then they were eaten by the gluttonous body. Such people have very little information. Basically,
Of little value.
Deng San, Zhang You, and Zhao Shuigan have all been on duty for more than two months, so they know more.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Liu Jiangpu asked you to come to the mountains to guard, but he didn't tell you what you were guarding?"
Deng San said: "We only met Liu Tongzhi once. Liu Tongzhi asked us to guard a small barren mountain. He didn't say there was anything special about this mountain. He just told us to stay away from this mountain.
When I first came here, I didn’t know how powerful this mountain was. I saw them running up to the mountain to play, and I wanted to join in the fun. Fortunately, I was lucky. Before I could go up the mountain, I saw those people being wrapped up by a big python.
I left, and since then, I have always stayed far away from that mountain."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "You have seen the mountain eating people, why don't you run away?"
"I wanted to run away, but I didn't have the guts. Several people who were on duty with me ran away. They were caught back that night and thrown into the mountains. They disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looking at the situation, how could I dare to run away."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "Who captured them?"
Deng Sandao: "People from Nufu's religion."
"Nufu Cult!" Xu Zhiqiong was stunned, "Do the people of Nufu Cult also know about this barren mountain?"
Deng San nodded and said: "I know, more than I know, they take care of the food and drink in this mountain. We just watch from a distance. We don't have to do anything else."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "Then why do you still force passers-by into the barren mountains?"
Deng San lowered his head and said, "Isn't this just following orders?"
"Whose order? Liu Jiangpu's order? Didn't you say that besides watching from a distance, you don't have to do anything else?"
Deng San stammered: "This, this, all, that and so on..."
Xu Zhiqiong glanced at Chang Decai. Chang Decai held down Deng San and beat him severely again!
Deng San covered his face and shouted: "Grandpa, to be honest, sometimes we just do it for fun."
"What fun are you looking for?"
"There's nothing else to do in this mountain. It's quite interesting to see those people being eaten by that mountain..."
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked Deng San in the face, only to see him confess happily. Xu Zhiqiong wanted the judge to reduce his sentence by two years, but he punished him for his behavior.
He's twice as cheap.
Zhao Shuigan, who was kneeling aside, said: "I have never done this kind of thing. I am responsible for keeping an eye on the workers and not letting them escape. This is all done according to the instructions of the Nu Fu Cult."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "Who hired those workers?"
Zhao Shuigen said: "It was the Nu Fu Cult that brought me here."
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Does the Nufu Sect also listen to Liu Tongzhi's command?"
Zhao Shuigen shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."
Chang Decai sneered: "If you don't know, you're asking for a beating!"
He held Zhao Shuigen down and beat him again. Zhang You, who was kneeling next to him, quickly shouted: "I know this. If Nu Fu teaches you not to listen to Liu Tongzhi,
Once, people from the Nufu Sect stopped a group of merchants in Yuling City and fed them to Barren Mountain. The commotion became so loud that Liu Tongzhi got angry and went to the mountain to have a quarrel with the Nufu Sect.
At that time, I remember that the leader of the Nufu Sect did not give him any face, and even ridiculed Liu Tongzhi. Who in the entire Huazhou dared to be disrespectful to Liu Tongzhi? That is to say, they dared!"
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "How did you deal with this matter afterwards?"
"Liu Tongzhi takes matters into his own hands. The Nufu Sect only cares about feeding the barren mountains and does not care about cleaning up the stalls."
Listening to the words of these three people, Xu Zhiqiong realized one thing. Regarding the matter of Taotie's outer body, Liu Jiangpu's power was not as great as imagined.
As Zhang You said, he is only responsible for two things, one is to watch the gate, and the other is to close the stall. The one who really takes care of Taotie's appearance is Nufujiao.
Behind Liu Jiangpu stood Emperor Zhaoxing, and who stood behind the Nufu Sect?
Does the Nufu Sect take orders from the emperor? Could it be that Emperor Zhaoxing fell to the point of helping the Nufu Sect?
This is not surprising. In order to live forever, there is no limit to what Emperor Zhaoxing can do.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Where is the Nufu Sect in Huazhou?"
Everyone responded enthusiastically to this question:
"We have it in our village!"
“We have plenty in our county!”
"Our neighbor is taught by Nu Fu. I heard that he beat his own son to death. Some neighbors couldn't bear to see it, so they went to the Yamen to report it to the official, but it was useless. Our county magistrate was also taught by Nu Fu.
…”
Everyone talked a lot, and Xu Zhiqiong discovered that the Nufu Sect was far more powerful in Huazhou than in the capital.
Okay, Xu Zhiqiong likes Nu Fu Cult the most.
He wanted to make a fire, but he was worried that he couldn't find a starter.
He used the power of imagery to collect all the criminal prisoners into their sin karma, and handed over their sin karma to Chang Decai for safekeeping.
Chang De had just put away his sinful karma. Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt a warmth in his sleeves and quickly took out a candle.
These were the twin candles given to him by Liang Yuyao. The candles were lit, proving that Liang Xianchun was up to something.
Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was about to go out, Chang De sniffed and said, "Master, what does your body smell like? How sour!"
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to say it was the smell of vomit, but he was afraid of being laughed at by Chang Decai, so he made up a sentence: "I haven't washed my clothes these days, so maybe it smells sour from sweat."
Chang Decai said: "Master, let me boil some hot water for you to take a bath. How does your body smell?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Just prepare a pair of clean clothes for me, and I will take you to the mortal world to bathe in hot springs!"
…
In Quequan Township, Jiang Feili took Qingyi Pavilion to practice martial arts for a day.
Xu Zhiqiong left them in Quequan Township, hoping to let them live a good life for a few days, but Jiang Feili did not slack off at all, and had to train with the Qingyi girls every day.
At dusk, when the training was over, Jiang Feili took everyone in Tsing Yi to bathe in the hot spring. When it was time for her subordinates to enjoy themselves, Jiang Shaoshi was also unambiguous.
After washing away the sweat and greasiness, the girls played in the spring, splashed water, threw themselves down, and competed with each other in various tricks.
"Yu Chi Lan, we can't compare with you, please bring us a ruler and let's compare with Jiang Shaoshi!"
Jiang Feili said angrily: "I've rebelled against you. Why don't you come? Let's see if I don't deal with you bunch of cheap hooves tomorrow!"
Just when he was enjoying himself, he suddenly saw Su Xiujuan running in angrily: "Young Master, it's not good, the general is here!"
Liang Xianchun is here.
Jiang Feili said calmly: "What are you afraid of? This is Captain Xu's order to leave us here. You go back to the camp to rest first, and I will go meet the general."
She said it calmly, but Jiang Feili was also very nervous. Xu Zhiqiong had not seen anyone for several days. How would Liang Xianchun explain it if asked?
After putting on her clothes, Jiang Feili came to the military camp and was furious when she saw Liang Xianchun sitting in the military tent.
"Jiang Feili, where did you Captain Xu go?"
Jiang Feili said: "Colonel Xu went out to inquire about the news and asked us to stay here temporarily."
"Garrisoned? Just stationed like this? Where have all the people from Qingyi Pavilion gone?"
"They have been practicing hard during the day, and they go to wash their clothes and bodies. Isn't this against military regulations?"
"Military regulations? I'll tell you what military regulations are!" Liang Xianchun stood up and shouted, "I am General Suppressing Evil, and the rules I set are military regulations. When I come to your camp, I can't see your captains or your sergeants. You
Military regulations have been violated,
You can find Xu Zhiqiong for me right now. If I don’t see him tonight, none of you will be able to escape the blame. Come and stand in front of the camp and wait for me to get a stick! Two of you must be beaten to death tonight.
Know what the rules of the military camp are!"
Jiang Feili still wanted to argue, but she saw Liang Yuyao winking frequently behind Liang Xianchun.
The situation tonight is very serious. Don't rush into Liang Xianchun again.
Jiang Feili turned back to Yuchilan and said, "Hurry up and find Captain Xu!"
Yuchi Lan is confused. Xu Zhiqiong has not been seen for several days. Where do you want her to go to find him?
She didn't understand Jiang Feili's code word. Jiang Feili meant that she should take the Tsing Yi envoy to go out and hide first. She was afraid that someone would die tonight.
"Are you still waiting for the general to beat you with a stick?" Jiang Feili shouted to Yu Chilan, "Get Captain Xu quickly!"
Yuchilan hurriedly left the Chinese military tent, and a drop of sweat broke out on Liang Yuyao's forehead.
She knew that Xu Zhiqiong would definitely come back after receiving her message, but the situation here was out of control.
Liang Xianchun waited for a moment and said, "When will Xu Zhiqiong come?"
Jiang Feili said: "I have already sent people to look for it. They will come naturally when they find it."
"What a sharp mouth!" Liang Xianchun slapped the table, "Left and right, drag this woman out first and give her a hundred sticks!"
Jiang Feili did not resist. With her fifth-level cultivation, she could withstand a hundred sticks, but her prestige in Qingyi Pavilion was completely gone.
The two Canglong guards stepped forward and were about to take action when they suddenly saw Yu Chilan running in in a hurry: "Xu Xiaowei is back!"
Jiang Feili was stunned, and Liang Xianchun shouted: "Where are they?"
Yuchilan blushed and said, "In the spring."
Liang Xianchun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, someone, come and find him out for me!"
"No need to hold me back, I'm here!" Xu Zhiqiong walked into the Chinese army tent wearing a large bathrobe.
Jiang Feili took a breath, and Yuchilan's cheeks turned red instantly.
Liang Yuyao closed her eyes: It's over, why is this guy so incompetent!
Liang Xianchun shouted: "Xu Zhiqiong, are you going to see me wearing this?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "The general is urging you, but I can't help it. If the general can tolerate it for a moment, I will go change my clothes. If the general cannot tolerate it, I will wear this to discuss matters with the general."
If the general feels that this is inappropriate, the water in the spring is just right and he can take a dip with his subordinates."
