After learning from the lesson he learned at the wine shop last time, Xu Zhiqiong became much more cautious. He first asked Niu Yuxian to paint abscesses on his face, which made him completely disfigured.
The Mohist cultivators are more or less good painters, but there are few who are as exquisite as Niu Yuxian. Qu Jinshan was discussing with Wu Xu in Mingdeng Xuanzheng. When he saw Xu Zhiqiong's face, he exclaimed: "My child, what are you doing?"
What's wrong? I just said that you are young and shouldn't go to the fence every day!"
The old lamp guard looked distressed, but he didn't dare to touch it. Although he was a yin and yang practitioner, he didn't realize that the abscess was fake.
Wu Xu looked at it for a moment and said, "This abscess is a good painting. Was it Gong Taijin who painted it for you?"
Gong Taijin is the green lantern keeper of the yamen. He has a seventh-grade Mohist cultivation and is a lantern keeper who specializes in holding lanterns for red lanterns.
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "This is what Niu Yuxian, the white lamp man, painted for me."
"This man deserves to be reused," Wu Xu smiled, "I asked him to paint for me too."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "No need, don't follow me."
Wu Xu was stunned: "Why?"
Xu Zhiqiong replied: "It's in the way."
Qu Jinshan pinched Xu Zhiqiong, and Wu Xu laughed and said: "So it's me who is in the way...you are so brave!"
After Wu Xu finished speaking, he jumped up and stepped forward to hit Xu Zhiqiong. Xu Zhiqiong walked around Qu Jinshan.
"Qianhu, you are too tall and conspicuous. Even if you paint your face, it will be useless. There is no one taller than you in the capital!"
"Nonsense! There is one in the yamen!"
"That person can also be reused!"
It's not enough if Wu Xu doesn't go. Without Wu Xu to take him, the lantern holder can't get out of the city gate.
The three of them discussed it, and Xu Zhiqiong went to the Dehua team outside the city. Qu Jinshan was around to support them, and Wu Xu took them out of the city.
When they arrived outside the city, Wu Xu was waiting near the city gate. Xu Zhiqiong and Qu Jinshan walked less than two miles and saw a broken tile kiln in the distance. Qu Jinshan pointed to the tile kiln and said: "That house is Dehuaban
,My child, you are still young, there are some things you cannot do, you must hold back."
Old Deng Shou is worried too much, and I am not a reckless person.
"Don't worry, I'll be back after I've inquired about the news."
Qu Jinshan added another instruction: "I can't help it anymore, just give it a hug, but don't do anything serious. The place is not clean. If I don't get rid of it, this big sore will become real."
It turned out that he was worried about this.
Xu Zhiqiong waved his folding fan and wandered to the door of Wayao. Not to mention, the people around him were quite lively.
In the eyes of poor people, Dehua Class is a good place.
Wang Dehua, the shopkeeper, personally greeted the guests outside. She saw a young man in white coming from a distance, and quickly went to accompany him with a smile: "This young man, are you okay?"
Seeing the big sores on her face, Wang Dehua was also scared.
"Why are you here if you have nothing to do?" Xu Zhiqiong shouted in a loud voice, "Call all the girls here and let me choose carefully!"
"Small, small shop, it's full tonight, no, no girls left." Who knows what the disease is with this big abscess on his face?
"What's the matter? No girl?" Xu Zhiqiong shouted, "Are you afraid that I won't have money to give you!"
"How dare you," Wang Dehua said with a dry smile, "Sir, it's unlucky for you to come here. Business in the shop is good tonight. There are really no girls."
"Wang Dehua!" Xu Zhiqiong yelled angrily, "You look down on me! Go to the Ministry of Punishment and ask, who doesn't know about me, Liu De'an? I'm going to be violent and burn down your bird shop!"
"It turns out it's Master Liu. I blame my poor eyesight for not being welcomed. I'm not welcomed. Please come in and I'll find a girl for you."
Entering a tile kiln, Xu Zhiqiong looked around. Although the outside was dilapidated, the inside was quite tidy. There happened to be a girl who had no guests and was taking a nap. Xu Zhiqiong pointed at her and said: "This That’s right, it’s her.”
Wang Dehua looked at the girl, pursed her lips, swallowed her saliva and said: "Then, let her be the one. Lan Ying, come and welcome the guests."
As soon as Lan Ying opened her eyes, she trembled with fright and hid behind Wang Dehua, not daring to speak, thinking she had seen a ghost.
Wang Dehua said angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you so shy? Hurry and call Mr. Liu."
Lan Ying shook her head repeatedly and said: "Sister, I can't afford to greet you!"
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "What? You can't play tricks on your grandfather!"
Wang Dehua pinched Lan Ying's peach hard and lowered her voice: "Let me tell you, this is Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Punishment."
"Sister, please stop talking nonsense. Grandpa from the Criminal Department still doesn't want to come to our place?"
"Just go if I ask you to. If you talk too much, don't worry about where he comes from. This person is not easy to mess with!"
Lan Ying still refused, so Xu Zhiqiong took out a small amount of money and handed it to Wang Dehua.
A hanging? This man is so generous.
For a place like Dehua Banzi, two hundred Wen is enough.
Wang Dehua took the money and pinched the fat peach again: "Go quickly, I won't lose you!"
Lan Ying had no choice but to take Xu Zhiqiong to another tile kiln. This tile kiln was Lan Ying's bedroom and had her own house, which proved that Lan Ying had some status in the Dehua class.
There was a bed, two chairs, and a tea table in the room. Xu Zhiqiong lay down on the bed and said to Lan Ying: "Sing a song for me first!"
Lanying quickly took off the pipa from the wall and sat on a chair to sing.
Although the class is the last place, it has some reputation in the capital. This place also has its own characteristics. The courtyard is about elegance, the hall is about tranquility, the pavilion is about friendship, the building is about eating and drinking, and the class is about playing and singing.
Wherever there is a class, everyone can sing songs. Of course, they are not the elegant tunes in Yinggeyuan. What they sing are all vulgar songs, so vulgar that they can't even sing.
Lan Ying has a good voice, and she sings all the songs that Xu Zhiqiong likes. Unfortunately, she is not here to listen to music tonight. Hearing the sound of mice in the room, Xu Zhiqiong closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lan Ying secretly rejoiced, pushed open the door, and shouted to Wang Dehua: "Sister, this person is asleep."
Wang Dehua looked into the room and found that she was indeed asleep.
"What are you saying when you're asleep? Take good care of me!"
"If you ask me to just throw him in the house, it looks disgusting to me!"
"How disgusting, you are so picky!" Wang Dehua gave all the money to Lan Ying, "Tonight you have to suffer a lot, can my sister make you suffer? Just take good care of him and hope that he can sleep all night. Until daybreak, if you don't cause any trouble, we sisters will be lucky."
Wang Dehua is now afraid of getting into trouble. If she waits for more than a month, her good days will come.
Xu Zhiqiong turned into a mouse and searched around the kiln. Based on his last experience, he knew where to look.
This place is no better than Yinggeyuan. It is impossible to have a dark room. At most, there is a vegetable cellar that can only hold a few people.
But there are many houses here. Girls live in the two houses in the front, and a large number of houses in the back are abandoned.
There is probably a place where people are locked up in these houses. As long as there is the same yin-yang magic circle as Yinggeyuan, no one will notice if they are so blatantly locked up.
Xu Zhiqiong went from house to house one after another. He found nothing at the first house and no one was found at the second house.
After walking to the fifth house, Xu Zhiqiong reached his limit.
This dilapidated tile kiln is larger than the Yinggeyuan. Xu Zhiqiong's skills can only maintain a distance of one mile at most. If he leaves any further, he will lose his soul.
Forget it, this trick doesn’t work, try another method.
Xu Zhiqiong was just about to regain his consciousness when he suddenly smelled something on the ground.
It's the taste of vegetable soup. This vegetable soup is a bit oily and watery, and rats are most sensitive to oily water.
After following the oil and water search, Xu Zhiqiong stopped in front of a house and crawled in through the hole under the broken door. Xu Zhiqiong felt the power of the magic circle.
Right here, here is someone hiding.
Focusing his eyes, Xu Zhiqiong saw the outlines of people with his eyes of sin. There were seven people in the circle, two of them were walking back and forth, and the rest were lying scattered and lifeless.
Success! This trip was successful.
After leaving the house, Xu Zhiqiong smelled the vegetable soup again. After two tile-roofed houses, he saw the magic circle again. There were six...
When we walked down from the house, we found a total of twenty-seven people. There were several more houses after that, and Xu Zhiqiong could not go there.
It is estimated that there are only so many people. With Liang Yuming's temperament, he will not hide too many people in the same place. When thousands of households close the network, they can just search here more.
Xu Zhiqiong ran all the way back, his vision blurred and his hands and feet trembling. He really couldn't use this skill too harshly.
When his soul returned to his body, Xu Zhiqiong opened his eyes and startled Lan Ying. After walking for more than an hour, Lan Ying really thought he could sleep until dawn.
Seeing Lan Ying sitting next to him, Xu Zhiqiong was also a little nervous: "Did I just fall asleep?"
Do you even need to ask? This guy drank too much, is he confused?
Lan Ying rolled her eyes and her face suddenly turned red: "I didn't sleep well, I'm really capable."
How capable is he?
What does this mean?
"What did you do to me?" Xu Zhiqiong turned pale.
Lan Ying said coquettishly: "Don't you know what I did? I am so powerful, my family has been wronged."
No, it can't be, it's not me.
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his forehead and forced himself to remain calm: "Okay, okay, you guys are doing very well. Remember, my name is Liu De'an. I will come back to you next time."
Seeing Xu Zhiqiong staggering out, Wang Dehua came over and pinched Lan Ying again, and said fiercely: "You are so itchy, how dare you drive him out!"
Lan Ying rubbed herself and said with a smile: "Sister, this is a silly boy. Xu drank a few too many drinks and he kept falling asleep. I lied to him and said he did it, and he believed it!"
"Do you really believe it?"
Lan Ying nodded vigorously.
"Just leave," Wang Dehua breathed out, "Don't let people like this come back again."
Xu Zhiqiong walked out of the tile kiln and met Qu Jinshan. Qu Jinshan didn't say much and took Xu Zhiqiong to run towards the city gate.
The shorter your stay outside the city, the better.
Returning to the city gate and seeing Wu Xu, Xu Zhiqiong whispered: "The thing is done, there is someone hiding here!"
Wu Xu beamed with joy and led the two of them into the city gate.
On the way, Qu Jinshan asked: "Brother, you are not serious, are you?"
Xu Zhiqiong looked frustrated: "I didn't come, who knew they would treat me..."
"Don't say it, don't say it, you have been wronged," Qu Jinshan let out a long sigh, "Brother, don't be afraid, hurry back to the Yamen, I have medicine, it's still too late."
Xu Zhiqiong lamented: "Thank you for your help. You are here!"
