Xu Zhiqiong turned into a mouse and came to see Emperor Changle. He wanted to tell Emperor Changle that he had returned to Daxuan, but he didn't want others to know.
If Yu Xianren doesn't know, Yu Xianren won't cause trouble.
If Long Xiulian is not informed, Long Xiulian will not be defensive.
The tacit understanding between Emperor Changle and Xu Zhiqiong was so deep. The moment he saw Xu Zhiqiong, Emperor Changle had already basically guessed his intentions.
"Your Majesty, may I add some pedals for you?" Lu Yun was delighted to see Emperor Changle always looking at his feet, thinking it was because his feet were uncomfortable.
Emperor Changle put down the memorial and said, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the Queen Mother?"
Lu Yunxi shook his head and said: "Canglong Palace and the Imperial City Department have been investigating, but there has been no reply yet."
Emperor Changle told Xu Zhiqiong this, meaning something happened in the palace and the Queen Mother was kidnapped.
Because the matter was so important, Emperor Changle did not reveal the news for the time being, and only asked the Canglong Palace and the Imperial City Department to investigate.
Xu Zhiqiong heard clearly that the Queen Mother was a member of the Nufu Sect, and it must have been the Nufu Sect that abducted the Queen Mother.
Does this matter have anything to do with Long Xiulian?
Most likely related!
Emperor Changle said again: "The servants guarding the main palace gate were all injured. Have they been properly placed?"
"Everything is set up."
"Are the traps in Baocidian still there?"
Lu Yun said happily: "We have kept all the traps, and the servants are also on guard."
Emperor Changle frowned and said: "The Queen Mother has been kidnapped, so why should we be on guard? Evacuate the people and stop the agencies. It's useless to keep them!"
Lu Yunxi saluted and said yes.
This creates conditions for Xu Zhiqiong to go to Baoci Hall.
Emperor Changle talked about several more political affairs, focusing on river affairs and food.
Zhang Zhuyang made great contributions in managing river affairs. There were no floods in the various states this year. Emperor Changle promoted him two levels in a row, and he will be used again in the future.
The harvests in various places this year are good, much better than last year. With the grain purchased from Yu Xianguo, we should not have to worry about eating, and there will still be some surplus in the granary.
After hearing this, Xu Zhiqiong was very happy.
After talking about the political affairs, Emperor Changle ordered Lu Yunxi: "Bring me my incense burner. I want to discuss the matter with Zhiqiong."
He knew I was here, why did he still use the incense burner to contact me?
Emperor Changle glanced at the mouse, and Xu Zhiqiong understood what Emperor Changle meant.
Emperor Changle wanted to borrow the incense burner to make it look like Xu Zhiqiong was still in Yu Xianguo, but he didn't know if Xu Zhiqiong was ready.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded slightly, and Emperor Changle lit the incense burner with confidence.
After a while, the incense burner responded, and the face of "Xu Zhiqiong" appeared in the smoke.
In fact, this face shape belongs to Tao Huayuan.
Under normal circumstances, illusions can only deceive people, but cannot deceive magical objects such as incense burners.
But Tao Huayuan, a skilled artist, was bold and used magic circles to change the characteristics of the incense burner, making the incense burner also appear in an illusion.
Emperor Changle said: "Zhi Qiong, how is the current situation in Wansheng City?"
Tao Huayuan followed Xu Zhiqiong's instructions, answered them one by one, and cooperated with the emperor to give the illusion that Xu Zhiqiong was still in Wansheng City.
After the drama was over, the servants at Baoci Palace were withdrawn, and the agencies were closed. Xu Zhiqiong returned to his own body and quietly went to Baoci Palace.
Ye Ansheng was a master at cleaning up traces. He would not leave any clues for Xu Zhiqiong at the scene. Xu Zhiqiong did not waste time. He scraped some wall coverings, cut some wood chips, and entered directly around the main door of Baoci Hall.
Little dark room.
It is not difficult to imagine the process. Emperor Changle said that they had a fight in front of the main hall. Xu Zhiqiong was promoted to the fourth rank, and his power of imagery improved by leaps and bounds. The scene of the fight soon appeared in front of his eyes.
Fumbling with the wall coverings and wood chips, Xu Zhiqiong watched the fight from different angles.
From the perspective of body skills, there is one person whose speed far exceeds that of Xu Zhiqiong.
There are not many people who can surpass the fourth grade judge.
This person is either a third-grade judge or a third-grade eunuch.
Judging from the fact that he knocked down the other two chamberlains with his fingers, he was most likely a eunuch.
Could it be that the third-grade eunuch is Chen Shuncai?
Brother Liang said that he came to the capital, but repeatedly emphasized that he had no malicious intentions. It seems that the malicious intentions have appeared now.
What was his purpose in kidnapping the Queen Mother?
Could it be that he is also a member of the Nufu Cult?
Xu Zhiqiong continued to observe the scene. After knocking down the eunuch, he had to open the door. Xu Zhiqiong knew that there was a trap on the door, and let's see how Chen Shuncai cracked it.
Driven by the power of imagery, Xu Zhiqiong saw the door opening, but it was not Chen Shuncai who cracked the mechanism, but another person.
This man was very skilled in construction techniques, and judging from his body shape, Xu Zhiqiong quickly locked onto a target.
Ye Ansheng.
This guy is a member of the Nufu Cult, and his status is not low. Xu Zhiqiong almost died at his hands, and he left a deep impression on him.
Seeing the two of them taking away the Queen Mother, the three of them gradually went beyond the sight of the wood chips and wall panels.
Xu Zhiqiong continued to collect stones, branches, flowers and plants in the direction they left, and tracked them all the way to the outside of Baoci Hall.
When he saw the three of them fleeing to the vicinity of Ruisi Hall, Xu Zhiqiong could no longer follow them.
The place where Emperor Ruisi studied was very close to Funing Hall, Kunning Hall, Longtuge Pavilion and Tianzhang Pavilion.
Among the palaces, except Daqing Hall, this is the busiest place, with palace servants and servants coming and going all the time.
Xu Zhiqiong looked like three people walking, with countless images popping up in front of his eyes, making it impossible to distinguish them.
If you want to find out the connection between this matter and Long Xiulian, you have to find someone.
Xu Zhiqiong happened to be meeting this person. He had dreamed of his grave before. Xu Zhiqiong had to make sure whether this person was still alive.
He left the palace and rushed all the way to the Zhu Skull Tea House.
Although it was late at night, the teahouse was bustling.
Xu Zhiqiong concealed his figure and quietly entered Lu Yanyou's room.
Lu Yanyou was ordering tea in the room. When he felt someone entering the room, he immediately pulled out his dagger and waited carefully for a fight.
Xu Zhiqiong appeared. Lu Yanyou stared at Xu Zhiqiong for a moment, then turned around to find a mask and put it on.
"Although I am no longer a member of the Taoist sect, I am still used to the rules of the Taoist sect. We still wear masks when talking."
Xu Zhiqiong knew why Lu Yanyou wore a mask.
Not for the Taoist rules.
It's out of self-esteem.
When he first saw Lu Yanyou, Xu Zhiqiong almost didn't recognize him. The left side of his face was in pieces and his left ear was missing.
He poured a cup of tea for Xu Zhiqiong. From his fingers to his wrists, everywhere where the flesh could be seen were scars.
Xu Zhiqiong took a look with the pupil of sinful karma, and saw that there was a sinful karma more than a foot long on Lu Yanyou's head.
Like Xu Zhiqiong, he was expelled from the Taoist sect.
"I'm going to make you laugh, I'm really embarrassed like this," Lu Yanyou laughed at himself, "I've been staying in this house for several days. I don't see anyone, and I don't even go downstairs, for fear of scaring the guests.
.”
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Who hurt you like this, Long Xiulian?"
"Did you know that Ryuzukazai is back?"
"How could I not know that he removed me from the Taoist sect, and why didn't he let you go?"
Lu Yanyou sighed and said, "Do you recognize Sun Qianli?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
Lu Yanyou sighed: "That day, I received news that you were removed from the list by Zhong Zai. I thought to myself that Zhong Zai had not seen anyone for many years, so why did he suddenly appear today?
I went back to the Punishment Department to see what was going on, and happened to bump into Sun Qianli at Chang Shi's Mansion.
Sun Qianli said that you were guilty of many crimes and were expelled from the Taoist sect. I asked Ma Shangfeng what mistakes he made. Let’s talk about them one by one.
Sun Qianli scolded me, saying that I was a convicted thief and had no right to talk to him.
I said that the Capital Punishment Department is Doctor Bai’s domain, and it’s not his turn to speak.
We got into an argument and finally got to Tsukazaifu.
Longzhong Zai was really polite and gave me good words, saying that my hard work and merits would absolve me of my past sins. He also said that you had done a lot of things behind my back and that you deserved to be expelled from the Taoist sect.
Brother, it was Long Xiulian who removed me from the post of chief historian and allowed me to return to the eighth rank to atone for my sins. What kind of bird is he? Do I know?
What he said to me is all nonsense. He is using third-level skills to secretly add to my sins!
I didn't say anything more to him. When I had an opportunity, I went directly back to the Punishment of Evil Department, then turned around and went to the Good Rewards Department to talk to Dr. Bai!
As a result, I was robbed by Sun Qianli on the way and beaten half to death. He threw me back to the Punishment Department and cut off one of my ears in front of the judges.
He said, I am also a person full of evildoers. He said that Tsukasa also removed my name.
This bastard wanted to kill me, but he didn't dare to do it. I, Old Lu, have been around for half my life, and I still have a reputation. Many judges in the Punishment Department started arguing with Sun Qianli.
Sun Qianli has not yet gained a firm footing in the capital and has not dared to accomplish anything, and he has given me a month to move out of the capital, otherwise my head will be taken away from me!"
At this point, Lu Yanyou laughed, his smile full of contempt: "He's a bastard, who the hell is he? I won't leave! If you leave, you'll be admitting your guilt!"
I'll wait for him to come and kill me. Even if I can't kill him, I'll make him lose his skin! We have a true god in our Taoist sect. Even if I die, I have to let the true god see if my life is worth it!"
Xu Zhiqiong put down the tea cup and was speechless for a long time.
That dream was so accurate. If Xu Zhiqiong had come back a few days later, Lu Yanyou would really have died.
But why doesn't Bai Yueshan care about this?
"Lu Changshi, do you know where Doctor Bai is?"
Lu Yanyou was silent for a long time and said: "I know, there is a new teahouse opened in the south of the city, called Xiuxuan Teahouse, and the owner is Mu Xiuxuan. If you go to that teahouse, you can see Doctor Bai."
Xu Zhiqiong put down his tea cup, stood up and left.
Lu Yanyou stopped Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Brother, when you are there, you can not only see Dr. Bai, but also many comrades.
Listen to my words, hold it back, hold it back, swallow the fire, that is the tea house opened by Long Xiulian, and all his confidants are there, you can't fight him!"
Xu Zhiqiong left the Zhukudong Tea House without saying anything more and went straight to the south of the city.
He used the art of disguise to change his appearance, making his body thicker, his skin color darkening, his face widening, and he added a beard. There was no trace of any relationship with the original Xu Zhiqiong.
"This little brother, do you know where Xiuxuan Tea House is?"
"After this street, there's a second house on the east side. The girl is pretty and the tea is delicious. It's a good place."
Xu Zhiqiong inquired all the way and arrived at Xiuxuan Tea House. As soon as he entered the door, a waiter came out to greet him.
Sir, please come inside.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at it for a moment, he knew this waiter.
The seventh grade judge Wang Anmeng.
This guy is a well-known fierce man in the Punishment Division of the Capital. When he wiped out the Punishment Division in Fuzhou, he accepted many judges and earned a lot of merit.
Although he was timid when he was asked to convict Emperor Zhaoxing, Xu Zhiqiong had always had a good impression of this man.
Why did he end up working as a waiter in a tea house?
Xu Zhiqiong found a seat and sat down, took out a broken piece of silver from his pocket, which weighed five taels, and stuffed it into his pocket: "Serve tea, wine, and two young ladies. If grandpa is happy, there will be a reward!"
"
Wang Anmeng took the money and turned around to go to the back hall. After a while, he first brought several plates of food, as well as various tea sets and wine sets.
Flower tea houses all sell wine.
Two young ladies came to the side, one ordered tea and the other made wine.
"Master, please try the tea brewed by me."
With just this sentence, Xu Zhiqiong recognized the lady who ordered tea.
She usually wears a mask. When she first sat here, she felt that her figure was somewhat similar. Listening to this voice, her identity was confirmed.
This is Wang Yan'er, the seventh-grade official Wang Yan'er.
Wang Yaner, who used to fight for business with Xia Hu, followed Feng Jing'an, and caused trouble for Xu Zhiqiong. Wang Yaner, who fought alongside Xu Zhiqiong when fighting evil star clones and eradicating the scum in Huazhou.
She worked as a sencha captain at Xiuxuan Teahouse.
Who is the lady making wine?
Xu Zhiqiong drank the tea and said with a smile: "Good tea, let's try the plum blossom wine again!"
The young lady put the wine in front of Xu Zhiqiong: "Please, sir!"
Xu Zhiqiong took the glass of wine and drank it.
It's Zhao Baijiao.
The voice is hers, and the wine is her unique taste.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and looked around the tea house.
He thought of his dream that night. He thought of the graves all over the ground and the people crying in front of them.
Looking at Wang Yan'er and Zhao Baijiao, with expressionless faces, ordering tea and cooking wine like zombies, he saw the situation of the judges in the capital.
Why treat these judges like this?
He remembered Lu Yanyou's advice.
Hold it, hold it back, swallow the fire.
Xu Zhiqiong held the tea cup in his left hand and the tea cakes in his right hand. While thinking, his hand slipped and the tea cakes fell to the ground.
A man in white rushed to his feet in an instant, picked up the tea from the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The teacup in his hand fell on the table.
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't swallow the anger anymore.
Long Xiulian, you bastard!
I'm going to blow up your teahouse first! This chapter has been completed!
