Five days have passed since Li Xiuyuan took over as the prefect.
In the past five days, he had not made much progress except for solving the assassination case of Fang Shengyu. As for the Lantern Festival fire case, he seemed to treat it as if it had never happened and it would only be a normal incident.
It is just to deal with the current cases in the capital, but there is no other
Ask more questions.
But within these five days, the masters he wanted to summon were due one after another.
Du Ze, the Minister of Punishment, wisely chose to sell his face to Li Xiuyuan and released a warrior named Zhang Chao from the prison of the Punishment Ministry.
The swordsman Xia Houwu was invited to Liumen. As for Yan Chixia, he said that he had also found it in the Jiangnan area. According to the people at Liumen, when Yan Chixia heard Li Xiuyuan's invitation, she immediately sat on a big bird and headed to the capital.
flew away in the direction.
And today.
Li Xiuyuan, however, called in all the experts he could.
Among the escorts, Sha Jin is an escort who has practiced the Iron Clothes Technique.
Wu Xiang, the divine general with the power of the Four Symbols.
A famous expert in the capital, Zuo Qianhu.
The famous swordsman, Xia Houwu.
There is also the chief arrester of the Six Doors, Cui Wei.
General Yasha also said hello and was willing to assist if necessary.
In addition to Li Chao who was released, and Yan Chixia who has not yet arrived, there are six masters around him.
At this moment, in the backyard of the prefect's Yamen, there were six banquet tables, all of which were filled with wine from the big altar, whole roasted sheep, chickens and ducks, and even government officials.
Fifty kilograms of beef was cooked very strictly, and there were also many other fruits and vegetables.
They are all the best in the capital that can pay tribute.
But at this moment, these so-called masters gathered together, drinking heavily and eating meat. Everyone's stomach was like a bottomless pit. They ate more than ten kilograms of wine and meat without feeling full.
"Master Li said that after having this meal, he will start working on things in the afternoon. In fact, the work is simple. Capture all the demons who are causing harm to the capital. There are some things that ordinary people cannot do. You have to do it. I hope you will not disappoint Mr. Li.
Cui Wei picked up the big bowl and said.
"I'm originally from the Li family, so it's natural for me to work hard for the eldest young master." Sha Jin grinned and said: "After I get the credit, I will be tougher when I join the army. I won't be laughed at by Han Meng, no, Han Shizhong because of my martial arts skills.
What a waste."
As he spoke, he also picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"The scholar has become the prefect? This official has been promoted very quickly. Hey, it seems that I have to change my name to Mr. Li. But then again, the scholar is so capable, what do you want to do? There are some things he
Just one person can do it." Xia Houwu was cutting a leg of lamb with his sword.
"Xia Houwu, what do you mean?"
A man in his thirties who was released from the cell at the side asked.
His name is Li Chao, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is now a martial arts master.
"Xiahou Martial Arts: "Nothing else, my martial arts skills can't last three rounds in the hands of that scholar. The scholar learned the method of horse fighting, got a dragon colt, and an indestructible tiger's mouth.
Swallowing the golden gun makes him even more powerful, and because he is young, has strong blood and has extraordinary talent in martial arts, he
He can beat you alone, and I can count on one gold dust, no problem."
"In less than thirty rounds, he will pick and kill them all."
Li Chao's eyes widened: "Isn't that right? Mr. Li has such skills? I have met Mr. Li before. He is a scholar. Xia Houwu, you can't lie to me."
"Xia Houwu is right. He has a magic horse and a magic weapon in his hands. He is young and strong. If he is not careful with his big gun and uses his horse power, he can kill a martial arts master in one round.
What others learn is superior martial arts, but what you learn is the kung fu of fists, feet and sticks. There is no comparison. If that
If the scholar dismounts and fights on foot, you can still stand a chance. Haha, if you don't even call me for wine, you must be too unkind, Xia Houwu."
A rough voice sounded, and then a bearded man with beards descended from the sky and landed in the yard with a thud.
This man is tall and fierce, with a sinister look on his face, but he comes across as bold and upright, making people unable to feel disgusted.
"Yan Chixia, you are finally here. You can make it easier for me to find where you have been hiding during this time."
I’ll give it a try and then talk about it.”
"No, no, I know you have made great progress in your character, but you are still too impatient. I will not agree to compete with you until you calm down your competitive personality. And I didn't hide. Last time in Jinling City
After the first battle, I practiced and slayed demons at the same time, from south to north,
I followed the ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan on their expeditions here and there, killing many evil spirits and slaying many evil ghosts."
"Hey, those ghosts and gods now call me Living Zhong Kui, thinking that I am the reincarnation of Zhong Kui. Interesting, interesting. Maybe if I die one day, I might actually become a door god."
Yan Chixia strode over, carrying a sword behind her back. As she laughed, her voice sounded like gold and cracked stone, making people's eardrums hurt.
"Damn it, you didn't call me when you went to slay demons? If I went with you, I would have killed fewer demons than you." Xia Houwu said.
Yan Chixia smiled and said: "If you can quit lust, I will invite you to kill demons and ghosts together. Monks who can subjugate demons and slay demons will lose everything. What they are afraid of is being deceived by ghosts and falling into a place of eternal disaster. We practice
The same goes for the middle man. Are you still killing the bandits and getting the same as before?
Go to a brothel to spend money to spend money? This is not okay. This is self-indulgence and will affect your spiritual practice. Look at that scholar. He has many wives and concubines at home. They are all as beautiful as flowers, and they are as beautiful as flowers. But there are no women around him.
Being entangled, what is this called? This is called temperance. So if your martial arts skills are not as good as those of a scholar, it is also appropriate.
when."
Xia Houwu's face suddenly turned hot with embarrassment, but he said, "What's wrong with liking beauty? Is it possible that I'm still a boy like you?"
"Don't underestimate the child's body, he is very good at warding off evil spirits." Yan Chixia said.
"Yan Chixia, let's forget about reminiscing about the past for now. I am Cui Wei from Liumen. We have met before. This time, Mr. Li asked you to help. I hope you don't follow your temper. The situation in the capital is very serious.
Chaos, if you act haphazardly, it will be bad if you ruin the master's plan." Cui Wei said.
Yan Chixia's hands as big as a futon casually grabbed a jar of fine wine, opened the seal and drank heavily: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion regarding the scholar's affairs and will not mess around. If he hadn't invited me, I would still have done it."
I won’t come to this capital. The only person in the world who deserves my help is the scholar.
Already, no one can do what he can’t do.”
"It's so hypocritical to say it. I'm very simple. He saved my life and I'm here to repay him." Xia Houwu said on the side.
While chatting these days, Li Chao and Sha Jin gathered together: "Sha Jin, who did you practice this Iron Clothes Shirt Technique from? My master could do it before, but he didn't teach me because I
If you don’t have enough patience, you won’t be able to learn this boring martial art.”
"I learned it from an old monk in Shaolin Temple, what about you?" Sha Jin said.
Li Chao's eyes lit up: "My master is also from the Shaolin Temple. His name is Han Monk. Do you know him?"
"I don't know. My master is not called Han Monk, and he didn't tell me his name. He must be a very powerful eminent monk. Later, when I was escorting, I planned to go to Shaolin Temple to see that eminent monk. Unfortunately, he has already passed away.
, according to the people in the temple, the master achieved enlightenment and went to heaven to do
Arhat."
Sha Jin said: "My iron cloth shirt technique can only be considered average, because I am not good at Buddhism and cannot understand the essence of it. If it weren't for the eldest young master, I would still be performing chest-breaking boulders on the street, but when it comes to martial arts, here is the most powerful
It must be Wu Xiang. Do you know why the imperial court granted him the title?
General of Divine Power.”
"Even the eldest young master praised his strength."
Wu Xiang, who was on the side, raised his head when he heard that he was being mentioned. He was holding a roast lamb in both hands, with a mouth full of wine and meat, and his expression was a little confused: "What are you calling me for?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just have a casual chat," Sha Jin said.
"oh."
Wu Xiang continued to eat and drink.
"Cui Wei, what happened in the capital recently is worthy of the scholar summoning so many experts, but it will definitely be more than enough to deal with monsters and monsters." After eating the wine and meat, Yan Chixia asked.
"I don't know, but the capital has not been peaceful recently. There was a fire in the capital a while ago, and many people died. Then the officials asked you to take charge of the Wutongjiao case. You said they were short of manpower, so they transferred some to Master Yan, but it was not enough.
, so I recruited help from you guys." Cui Wei told the truth.
road.
Although he had guessed something in his mind, he would not say it randomly.
"Forget it, I'll ask the scholar later." Yan Chixia said.
