The years I was the shopkeeper at the Yinhun Inn Chapter 266: Disciples don’t know the secrets of the family, and the three halls are about to interrogate
Chapter 266: Disciples don’t know the secrets of the family, and the three halls are about to interrogate
"Oh?" Luan Chongjiu's eyes lit up and he sat back, "What do you want, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Shi smiled and said: "My main business is as a restaurant manager. Please calculate how my restaurant's business will be in the future."
Ignoring the surprise of the other two people on the table, Luan Chongjiu sat down, took out the compass, Bagua, turtle shells, copper coins and other objects from the package, and laid them out on the table.
"Which one do you want to count?"
"It's all up to you."
"Okay. So what's the name of your restaurant, where is it, and when will it open?"
Zhou Shi spread his hands and said, "Since Mr. Luan is from the divination sect, do I still need to say these things?"
The other two people couldn't hide the confusion on their faces. When it comes to fortune telling, it means the most basic prediction of a person's wedding and funeral. It also needs to match the birth date. What do you mean by "do you need me to tell you?"
Sure enough, Luan Chongjiu shook his head, put away the things on the table, and said: "You overestimate old age, I can't calculate this hexagram."
Zhou Shi said with a smile: "How about asking Mr. Luan to go to my restaurant in person and take a look before calculating?"
"This, maybe."
"Then I'll lead the way. You two, take your leave."
The old man and the young man just supported him and left. Wang He glanced at Guo Renjie and said worriedly: "Is this Zhou Shi... really reliable?"
"He dares to say that he is from the Yinmen. Either he has some confidence, or he is a lunatic." Guo Renjie shook his head and said, "You also know that the things people in the Yinmen deal with are the most dangerous. I also know someone
The guy who pretended to be a disciple of the Yin Sect came out to cheat, but was retaliated by the real Yin Sect disciples. He died in pieces, and he had no peace of mind after death..."
Wang He shrank his neck in fear and said, "I, I'd better buy some more Dingshen pills. Do you have any more?"
The two made another deal, drank tea, and then left one after another.
Just when Guo Renjie was leaving the house, he happened to pass by a broad-backed man.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
"Give me the cheapest tea."
As he said this, the man looked around and strode towards the store.
"Okay... Hey, this guest, please wait a little..."
In a corner of the teahouse, a young man wearing an embroidered jacket was talking to three other people:
"Oh, don't worry if you leave it to me. I have been walking in the underworld for many years and have dealt with countless evil spirits and ghosts. Let's put it this way, even the King of Hell wants to give my master three points of thin noodles... I will accept the silver coins first.
, go back and wait for the letter."
While he was bragging, he suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head. When he turned around, he saw a tower-like figure standing in front of him.
"You, who are you?"
The man smiled at him.
"Your King of Hell."
……
"Mr. Luan, just stop here."
Zhou Shi and Luan Chongxiang walked to a secluded place, suddenly stopped, raised their hands and said.
"Huh?"
"What's in Rongxing Tea House is not the real Jiulong Hall at all, but you are the member of the Jiulong Hall, right?" Zhou Shi said expressionlessly.
"Haha, as expected of the person recommended by Mrs. Jin, he is really smart." Luan Chongxiang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This saves trouble."
"So this is also part of the test?"
"That's right. The first level tests your identity, which is to confirm whether you are really a member of the outer sect, which sect you are from, and how you know about the Jiulong Hall. The second level tests you
Ability, see if you can solve the test questions we set. The third level is about knowledge."
Zhou Shi continued: "See if I can see through the guise of the Kowloon Hall?"
"Exactly."
"Everyone in that room is..."
"They all think that they are in the Kowloon Hall. In fact, it is not wrong. What you just saw is the 'outer hall' of the Kowloon Hall, which is used for some members to receive commissions and communicate with each other. Only those who have passed the three-level assessment
Only then can people enter the 'inner hall' and come into contact with the core of the Kowloon Hall. How did you see that something was wrong?"
"Not to mention why an organization like the Kowloon Hall that is an enemy of gods would be opened in a place where people come and go. The 'medicine sect' in Guo Renjie's words and the 'divination sect' in your words are not outsiders.
”
"This is the purpose of setting up the third level. We deliberately spread the name of Jiulong Hall widely, but people at different levels know different information. Outsiders like Wang He only know that Jiulong Hall can solve some evil
The thing about ghosts, and Guo Renjie, a second-hand swordsman, thinks that Jiulongtang is a place where outsiders do business. Only an expert like you can hear the true face of Jiulongtang——"
The old man's face suddenly became serious.
"Save the outer sect from danger and suppress evil spirits in the world.
"As for the claims of 'medicine sect' and 'divination sect'..." Luan Chongxiang's face showed helplessness again, "You also know that it is not easy for the outer sect to recruit disciples. Some disciples are not very talented. The master wants to prevent them from going out to corrupt the sect.
Because of their reputation, they were even more afraid of causing trouble if they tried to show off, so they only taught some of the methods. They didn't even tell the master's name, and only gave some common names to deal with it. Over time, the 'Medicine Sect' originated from the Gu Sect, and the 'divination Sect' derived from the Wu Sect were born.
"Door" or something like that."
Oh? So, when Mr. Mo first met me, he told me the name of the Yinmen Trooper in no uncertain terms, which means that I have an extraordinary talent?
When Zhou Shi was feeling proud, Luan Chongxiang added very politely: "Of course, your Yin Men Guang apprenticeship is full of dangers, and few newcomers get started, so all disciples who get started will be taught their true sect number.
."
...It would be great if you didn't say this. Zhou Shi thought depressedly, Mr. Mo didn't waste much time recruiting me. He just opened the door wide and saw who would fall into the trap...
No, in fact, ever since he saw the cause of shopkeeper Zhou's death in Budu, Zhou Shi had guessed that he walked into Mr. Mo's Yinhun Inn by mistake and had something to do with the iron abacus, or the An Rudao beads on it.
, maybe it was the iron abacus that guided me there...
Regarding this issue, we still have to ask Budu.
"So, where is the 'inner hall' of the Kowloon Hall?"
"Haha, please wait."
Luan Chongxiang took out a handful of white powder from the package, sprinkled it on the ground, and drew a Tai Chi pattern.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of Zhou Shi's eyes, he felt his feet light up, and he and Luan Chongxiang were taken away from the secluded alley.
……
In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, senior officials from the Three Law Departments lined up on both sides of the lobby, sitting upright and no one spoke.
But their eyes fell on the handsome, beardless adult at the top from time to time.
It seems that that is the real reason why the atmosphere in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is like this.
"Eunuch Zhao, the prisoner Zhao Xuan is already in the hall, do you want to summon him?"
Eunuch Zhao Siqian, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremony, Bingbi, one of the top figures of the eunuch party, slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, yawned and said:
"Come here."
"Yes."
Two police officers dragged Zhao Xuan, who was wearing wooden shackles, into the lobby and knelt down with a "thud" sound.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Linghong, the Vice Minister of the Criminal Department and the immediate superior of the gold medal catcher, tightened his grip on the handle of the chair.
Zhao Xuan's face was very haggard, with her dirty long hair hanging randomly on her face, making her look even more pitiful. She shook her head and whispered in a low voice without raising her head:
"My lords, the prisoner Zhao Xuan is here. I hate that this wooden shackle prevents me from kowtowing to you. Please smite this thing with a few blows."
