Nine hundred and eighty-ninth chapter overly careful
Who was this Uncle Lou in the past? Zhuo Mufeng could not imagine that a martial artist from a martial arts background would have such superb scheming skills as the other party.
What's more important is that the calm demeanor of the other person cannot be obtained without reading all the fine works and baptism after experiencing the ups and downs of the world.
Although the world is windy and rainy, the people who come and go are from the common people, and most of the contact involves fighting and killing. It seems that it is impossible to cultivate such extraordinary people with such a pattern and courage.
Moreover, Zhuo Mufeng discovered very early that Lou Linxuan was very familiar with government affairs. This kind of familiarity was almost at his fingertips, far beyond what ordinary officials could achieve.
All kinds of doubts came to his mind. Zhuo Mufeng looked at Lou Linxuan, who was sinking deeply into the sea, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lou, I have no reservations about you, and I will give you my heart and soul. Doesn't Uncle Lou have anything to say?"
Really? I remember my adoptive father said that he didn’t even know what Uncle Lou did before.”
Lou Linxuan gave a rare laugh, tapped Zhuo Mufeng with his feather fan, then suppressed his smile again, and looked at Zhuo Mufeng seriously. For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"At this point, Lou has nothing to hide. Things in the world are really wonderful. I thought I would not tell anyone about this secret, but I didn't expect that the first person to tell it was you."
After a pause, Lou Linxuan said calmly: "Lou was originally the minister of the Ministry of Rites of Zhongzhou. Later, he offended a disciple of Dahuan Mountain and encountered a disaster. Because he noticed it in advance, he narrowly escaped the disaster and ended up living in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Lou was accused of a crime that required the execution of six clans. Fortunately, Lou was alone and did not implicate anyone else. However, if people from the Zhongzhou Intelligence Department discovered Lou's identity, my uncle and others would be implicated."
Zhuo Mufeng looked at him stupidly, but Lou Linxuan's face was not joking at all. Although there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes gave people a sharp feeling.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lou Linxuan smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head: "I dare to kill the Emperor of Northern Qi, so what else should I be afraid of? I just think that with Uncle Lou's ability, being a mere minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is too unqualified? Those people in Zhongzhou have no vision.
"
Lou Linxuan: "..."
There is something Zhuo Mufeng may not understand. When he was promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs, Lou Linxuan was only twenty-five years old. Because of his outstanding ability, he was promoted by the Emperor of Zhongzhou. He created the history of Zhongzhou and attracted a lot of attention in the court at that time.
There was strong opposition from many die-hards.
If Lou Linxuan had not won the emperor's heart, how could he have allowed the Emperor of Zhongzhou to confront the important officials of the court for him? And subsequent facts also proved that Emperor Zhongzhou's choice was not wrong.
In fact, at that time, many people had already seen that Lou Linxuan was an important minister selected by the Emperor of Zhongzhou to assist the country, with a bright future. If it hadn't gone wrong later, he would have been in charge of the Zhongzhou court now.
Then a series of events that will follow, including whether the Emperor of Zhongzhou will go to Feipu Town and be killed there, may be unknown.
Zhuo Mufeng asked curiously: "How could Uncle Lou offend the people of Dahuan Mountain?"
Lou Linxuan had a sarcastic look on his face: "Lou has nothing to do with Dahuan Mountain. At first, Lou couldn't figure it out, but later he realized that Dahuan Mountain was also being taken advantage of. At that time, Lou and His Majesty were young and energetic.
Sheng, I have offended some people in the court. They have no way to deal with His Majesty, so they naturally want to settle accounts with Lou."
Although Zhuo Mufeng didn't understand the filth and darkness in the court, he could still imagine it. He said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as venting their anger. They are afraid that if they give Uncle Lou more time, he will beat him to death in the future.
I can't escape. Just like the Twelve Holy Lands and the Demon Sect suppress me everywhere, they are not afraid that I will be invincible in the world and there will be no place for them."
Because of Lou Linxuan's calmness, he became happy when he heard this. Is this praising him or himself?
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly said: "By the way, Uncle Lou's identity is so important. You have made a public appearance in the Sanjiang League these years, but the Zhongzhou Intelligence Department didn't find out?"
Lou Linxuan: "My original name was not Lou Linxuan, and when I ran away, Lou happened to meet a strange man who changed my face. Now even if my enemies stand in front of me, they won't recognize me."
Hearing this, Zhuo Mufeng felt relieved and couldn't help but ask about that strange man. However, Lou Linxuan said that he and the other party only met by chance and had never seen each other since then, so Zhuo Mufeng had to give up.
Since they were determined to plot against the cloaked man, after talking about unrelated matters, the two discussed again, and it was not until midnight that they finalized many details of the operation. However, there were still many aspects that needed to be improved, and of course these were left to Lou Lin.
Xuan went to work, while Zhuo Mufeng returned to the yard and continued to apologize...
One month later.
In a dark room in Sun Moon City, the cloaked man read the secret report sent by Su Zhilan. It did not explain the specific situation of the Haoqi Sect. He only said that he had extracted some fragmentary clues from Zhuo Mufeng through some indirect tricks.
Of course, this is also Lou Linxuan's strategy. It is impossible to leak everything at once. Otherwise, even fools will know that something is wrong. The cloaked man must be allowed to investigate based on the clues, so that it can be realistic.
The cloaked man's actions were not slow at all. Uncle Ming was immediately put in charge and mobilized secret forces unknown to the world. Finally, within two months, the Haoqi Sect and its many strongholds were found.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Uncle Ming stood in front of the desk and asked respectfully.
Cloaked Man: "Send someone to sneak in and give you half a month to control the Haoqi Gate."
If Zhuo Mufeng hears this, he will be shocked. The forces of the Haoqi Sect exposed this time, taken together, are almost comparable to some of the weaker super-first-class forces in the world. Even the top forces, if they do not come out in full force, will be very weak.
It is difficult to control it within half a month.
But judging from the cloaked man's intention, this kind of thing seemed not worth mentioning, and Uncle Ming on the side was even more unimpressed and immediately handed it over to prepare.
Only ten days later, the exposed power of the Haoqi Sect has been controlled by a secret force, but it has not caused any waves in the world.
"My Lord, after investigation by my subordinates, the so-called Haoqi Sect belongs to Zhuo Mufeng on the surface and was secretly established by him. But in fact, it has been infiltrated by the Dongfang Family. It's ridiculous that that kid thinks he controls everything.
Who knows, Dongfang Changsheng has already figured out his whereabouts."
Uncle Ming had an obvious sneer on his face.
Originally, he had always thought Zhuo Mufeng was a great threat, but now he discovered more and more that apart from his martial arts aptitude, that boy was mediocre in other aspects. He was especially so lustful that he actually killed the Emperor of Northern Qi for a witch, which was simply unworthy of him.
.As expected, the Lord still has discernment.
"Have you investigated everything clearly? Nothing was missed, right?" Out of caution, the cloaked man asked.
Uncle Ming: "Don't worry, my lord! None of those people will be spared. With the means of my Dark Night Pavilion, even Taoist Xuanyi can't hold it back, let alone those people."
The cloaked man nodded, but for some reason, he always felt that things went too smoothly this time, and his eyebrows under the script were raised unconsciously.
He recalled the whole thing many times, from the clues provided by Su Zhilan, to the discovery of several strongholds, to the scattered details, and the entire Haoqi Sect, from the process to the details, no one was missed.
Tapping his fingers on the table, the cloaked man said: "Uncle Ming, do you think there's something weird?"
Weird? Uncle Ming looked confused and didn't understand what the other party meant.
Cloaked Man: "I am convinced that Canary betrayed, and the clues to the other party should have been provided by Zhuo Mufeng. And we also used the clues to find out the Haoqi Sect, but is it too coincidental? This Haoqi Sect,
Just happened to be controlled by the Dongfang Family?"
Uncle Ming frowned: "What do you mean, Lord?"
The cloaked man's eyes flickered a few times: "Is it possible that the Haoqi Sect we are holding on to is not all of Zhuo Mufeng's trump cards?"
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Ming was shaken all over, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible! Not only canary's clues, but during this time, his subordinates also mobilized their power to remove Zhuo Mufeng's
I went through it all.
Combining the two aspects of the situation, there are traces for him to establish the Haoqi Sect, but other than that, there is no other possibility. This is one of them.
Secondly, the Haoqi Sect was controlled by the Dongfang Family, and my subordinates felt that it was not accidental, but inevitable! Your Majesty, please don’t forget that Zhuo Mufeng had a close relationship with the Dongfang Family back then, and he even gained the respect of Dongfang Changsheng.
With Dongfang's victorious character, how can we not investigate Zhuo Mufeng clearly? Then it is logical that the Haoqi Sect is controlled by the Dongfang Family."
The dark room was quiet for a moment, and the cloaked man could not find any loopholes, but a subtle feeling made him unable to let go. Based on the principle of caution, he still ordered Uncle Ming to collect all the past experiences about Zhuo Mufeng,
Give it to him immediately for review.
Uncle Ming was helpless for a while. Everything was fine, but sometimes he was too suspicious. He insisted on holding on to things that were clearly easy to explain, as if he didn't feel comfortable unless he drilled a hole to get them out.
However, out of respect for his lord, Uncle Ming still did not disobey and followed the orders and left.
Zhuo Mufeng's information was all ready-made, and it didn't take long for it to be brought to the front of the cloaked man. He read it one by one, scanning some places quickly, and considering some places back and forth, as if he was speculating on whether there was anything suspicious.
Uncle Ming looked on with difficulty. Although the master is not very old, isn't it tiring to work like this every day? He wanted to persuade, but he knew that the master hated others to disturb his thinking, so the words were stuck in his throat.
More than a dozen files were read by the cloaked man for more than two hours. He leaned back slightly tiredly and asked, "Are these materials correct?"
Uncle Ming Su Rong cupped his hands and said: "I guarantee it with my life, absolutely."
But he didn't know that he was a little late in the investigation. Lou Linxuan had already done something a long time ago. The way to investigate a person is nothing more than to sort out his deeds, collect confessions, and check the places where the person has stayed.
There are a lot of places to do things.
Regarding the abilities of Dark Night Pavilion, the cloaked man was still very reassured. He smiled bitterly and said, "To put it this way, I am overly worried. It is true that that boy has too much potential. If you are not careful, he will easily cause trouble in the future."
Uncle Ming advised: "My Lord, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but I forgive my subordinates for speaking frankly. There is no need to waste too much energy in some aspects. My Lord, you need to take care of yourself!"
The cloaked man waved his hand: "I understand that with my martial arts, this little thing can't hurt the foundation."
