The next day, Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran changed into regular clothes, drove down Wuji Mountain in a simple carriage, entered Pingwu County before dark, and stayed at the Wangfu Inn in the south of the city. At this time, the Yuanfu Yamen, who was the auxiliary courtyard of Xizhenwu Palace,
Now that the door was closed, Zhao Ran settled Song Zhiyuan first, then went to the gate of the government office to wait for the opportunity.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the corner door opened and a layman who was a pyrotechnic came out. Zhao Ran stepped forward and grabbed him, claiming that he was an old friend of Lin Shuangwen, the pyrotechnician in the living room, and he wanted to see him in an emergency. The layman who was a pyrotechnic said impatiently: "
I am going out on business and have no time to communicate with you. If you want to see me, just come over early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ran stuffed two taels of broken silver into his hand and said, "I feel sorry for bothering the Taoist Priest, but I do have something urgent to see Lin Shuangwen, so I'd like to thank the Taoist Priest for passing on the information."
The fire-gong layman wiped the silver into his sleeve, glanced at Zhao Ran, and asked, "What's your surname? Who are you?"
"My surname is Zhao. Just say that an old friend from Guyang County is visiting and he will know about it."
"Wait." The fireman turned around and went in. After a while, he came out with Lin Shuangwen and pointed at Zhao Ran: "Here, he wants to see you."
Zhao Ran winked, Lin Shuangwen was startled, and then smiled at the fireworker layman: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."
After the pyrotechnical layman named Zhang left, Lin Shuangwen followed Zhao Ran to a remote corner, saluted him and said, "Master Fang, why did you come here tonight?"
Zhao Ran said: "I have something to ask for, and I would like to see Jiang Gaogong, or I would like to see Zhong Xunzhao. I would like you to pass it on... Well, don't alert others."
Lin Shuangwen said: "Zhong Xunzhao went to Chengdu. He has not come back yet..."
"Then it's Jiang Gaogong." Zhao Ran stuffed five taels of pure silver into Lin Shuangwen's hand and warned, "Thank you, Jiang Gaogong, please be careful when you go out."
Lin Shuangwen returned the money to Zhao Ran: "Master Fang, please don't kill the villain. The money you gave me last time was too much. If you give me more money this time, I won't have the honor to ask for it again. Master Fang, please wait here. I'll give it to you again."
Now go and invite Jiang Gaogong."
After Zhao Ran waited in this remote corner for about a moment, he finally saw Jiang Gaogong come out. Lin Shuangwen knew that Zhao Fangzhu of Wujiyuan must have extremely secretive matters, so he said goodbye and left, leaving Jiang Gaogong and Zhao Ran alone.
get along.
Jiang Gaogong seemed to have guessed Zhao Ran's intention and said: "This is not a place for talking. Where do you live? Let's talk to you."
Zhao Ran led Jiang Gaogong to Wangfu Inn, entered through the back door, and went directly into the guest room. After Jiang Gaogong entered the room, he met Song Zhiyuan and quickly bowed his head: "Senior Brother Song is here too?"
Song Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The situation forced me to come. I didn't want to bother my junior brother, but senior brother, I am so confused and I don't know who to tell. After all, junior brother Jiang came from my Wuji Academy. After thinking about it, I still can only find him."
Junior brother, let’s discuss.”
"Senior brother, why are you so polite? Just come to me. Come, let's sit down and talk."
Zhao Ran made tea and the three of them took their seats. Song Zhiyuan couldn't speak first about this kind of thing, so Zhao Ran immediately said: "Brother Jiang, do you have any clues about the assassination of Zhang Jianyuan this time? By the way.
I heard from Bai Du that the reason why Zhang Supervisor left midway that day was because an old friend from Xinning County asked to see him?"
Jiang Gaogong said: "The Xuanyuan Temple experts sent people to Ziyang Yuan in Xinning County, and after verification, no one in Ziyang Yuan asked to see Zhang Jianyuan at that time. Bai Duyue followed them to identify people one by one, but they did not find the young Taoist priest who intercepted the car that day.
Therefore, it can be confirmed that the case was an intentional interception. However, we only know so much. After all, Zhang Jianyuan's matter is too important. The case has been taken over by Yuhuang Pavilion and Huayun Pavilion, with Master Yun as the mainstay.
, Master Liang was the assistant, because Xizhenwu Palace didn’t know very clearly about many things. But there was news yesterday that the Yuhuang Pavilion had found traces of the demon monk, and Master Yun Da. led people to chase him. The demon monk was
I don’t know if I have caught up with Gulu’s whereabouts in Changning.”
"Changning Valley?" Changning Valley is located at the junction of Chengdu Prefecture, Long'an Prefecture and Songfanwei. It is about 2670 miles away from Pingwu County. To Zhao Ran's surprise, he was so brave at this moment.
, after having done such a big case, he actually dared to continue to stay in the heart of Sichuan Province, which is deep into the border.
"Yes! I hope Master Yun Da can capture this murderer and avenge Zhang Jianyuan!"
Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran looked at each other and cheered up. This is the best news in more than ten days. If the murderer can be caught and brought to justice, it will definitely reduce the responsibility of Wujiyuan from the side. At the same time, Zhao Ran has another
As a calculation, he considered that after the murderer was brought to justice, it would be very likely to find out the truth of the case, which was of great significance to whether the Qingmiao money reform promoted by Zhao Ran could continue.
Whether Zhang Jianyuan's death was done randomly by the murderer or had been planned for a long time has always been a mystery that has troubled Zhao Ran. Of course, Zhao Ran is leaning towards the latter. If the truth of the case is consistent with Zhao Ran's speculation, then what is behind it?
The group of guys who planned this will definitely be in bad luck, and Zhao Ran's reforms will actually benefit from it.
But this is all for later. What Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran are most concerned about now is how the Taoist sect will hold them accountable. Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If something goes wrong with Song Zhiyuan, Zhao Ran will have a good life.
It's the end.
It was Zhao Ran who spoke: "Jiang Gaogong, Zhang Jianyuan was assassinated in Guyang County. This is indeed due to the poor protection of Wuji Yuan and Guyang County. I, Wuji Yuan, are deeply uneasy. Song Jianyuan has been frequently
I blame myself for this. If there is any guilt, I, the Wujiyuan, are willing to accept it. It’s just that the person who assassinated Zhang Jianyuan was a practitioner, not something I, Shifang Jungle, can handle. I don’t know what the West Zhenwu Palace plans for this.
?What punishment will be imposed on me, Wujiyuan?"
Jiang Gaogong pondered for a moment and said: "Following the old practice, Wujiyuan will not be able to escape no matter what when the crime is being discussed. You should be prepared. I believe that both Senior Brother Song and Junior Brother Zhao are aware of this."
"Yes, yes, yes, we deserve the responsibility and we will never shirk it!"
"However, as Junior Brother Zhao said, the murderer is a Buddhist monk. If he wants to deal with it with the power of Wuji Academy, it is also an idiot's dream. The three capitals also discussed this matter during the meeting, and they all said that Wuji Academy should not bear too heavy a punishment.
, Bai Duyuan and Liao Duchu meant that a little punishment would be enough. But Jing Duguan had some objections... Don't blame Jing Duguan, after all, he was trained by Zhang Jianyuan, and he was like a master and a disciple.
It’s normal to express your anger.”
"Of course we can understand this."
Jiang Gaogong continued: "But you also know that such important matters will ultimately be decided by the Supervisory Academy, and the new Supervisor of Dao Palace has not yet arrived, so everything depends on the wishes of the new Supervisor. Xu Yuan is currently in Xuanyuan Look, Senior Brother Zhong went to Chengdu to take over the Clan Prison. I wonder if you still remember Abbot Du? This Clan Prison has a close relationship with Abbot Du. When the Clan Prison was in Wusheng Palace in Huangzhou, Huguang, Du The abbot was the supervisor. Later, the supervisor went to Qingyang Palace in Wuchang, and Abbot Du also went to Qingyang Palace to serve as abbot. I heard that Abbot Du was the abbot of the supervisor in those years, and now he has been transferred to the West Zhenwu Palace. I'm afraid the same is true. Senior Brother Song and Junior Brother Zhao must have been deeply impressed by what happened when Abbot Du came to Guyang County last year, so..."
There was no need for Jiang Gaogong to work hard to understand the meaning of the words, Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran's hearts sank.
