Qi Xuansu traveled all the way to Fengtai County this time, of course not for the one thousand peace deal, nor did he intend to get involved in the temple strife. He was acting on orders to take something from Li Hongwen.
So he used the "inn" to hide his identity and whereabouts, and at the same time, he also inquired about information in the "inn". Finally, he waited for the man who spent a thousand Taiping to protect Li Hongwen, and then learned about Li Hongwen from this man's mouth.
Whereabouts - Qingluan Guards actually made a fool of themselves. After arresting the people at the county government office, they detained Li Hongwen's family in the county government office on the spot and did not escort them to the Hundred Household Center.
Although the man who issued the commission might have been a fish deliberately released by Qingluan Wei and used him as bait to catch big fish and shrimps together, Qi Xuansu was still determined to go.
Because he comes from Qingpinghui.
Today the world is like a Yin and Yang Pisces, "Yang" is the court and "Yin" is the Taoist gate. Both sides are interdependent. You have me and I have you, just like the black spots in "White Fish" and the "Black Fish".
White dot.
However, the Qingping Society belongs to neither the imperial court nor the Taoist sect. It moves between the two and is a secret organization.
The members of the Qingping Society are a mixture of three religions and nine streams. Moreover, its members often have two identities. They are members of the imperial court or Taoist sects, but secretly they are members of the Qingping Society. Therefore, the members of the society do not show themselves by their real names, but by their names.
Named their respective code names.
Qi Xuansu has been a member of the Qingping Society for two years, and his Ci brand name is "Jincuo Dao".
Some people mistakenly think that the "Jin Cuo Dao" is a kind of precious sword. In fact, the "Jin Cuo Dao" refers to an ancient knife coin with its text engraved in gold. It is also called "Cuo Dao" and generally refers to money.
But Qi Xuansu doesn't have much money, so this brand name is a bit inappropriate. In fact, only Qi Xuansu himself understands that "Jin Cuo Dao" means money, which may not necessarily mean having money, but it can also mean owing money. This word brand name is to remind him,
He owes a "debt".
Qi Xuansu's other identity is a Taoist disciple, but he is a seventh-grade Taoist priest, while Donghua Zhenren is a second-grade Taoist priest. The gap between the two is like the gap between the county magistrate and the minister. The so-called Donghua Zhenren commands the Qingluan Guard.
Such greetings are just Qi Xuansu's nonsense to confuse the audience.
…
At this time, the man in the lobby of the "inn" who was completely drunk to death had fallen asleep and never woke up. He never expected that this drunkenness would keep him drunk for the rest of his life.
The shopkeeper came to his table, glanced at the pot of wine that had not yet been finished, and sighed: "'Inn' is about credibility, but 'Inn' is also about rules, that is, semicolons from all over the country are not allowed to participate in court matters.
, if you want to interfere in the temple, you have to go to the main office. If you break the rules today, you will die unjustly."
After saying that, the shopkeeper turned the corpse so that it was lying on its back, then reached out and took out the appointment book from the corpse's arms. After scanning it to confirm that it was correct, he stacked it with the appointment letter left at the "inn" and casually
Rub it until it turns into fly ash and disperses with the wind.
Then the shopkeeper high-fived three times, and two sturdy servants walked out of a secret door.
The shopkeeper tore the official ticket worth a thousand Taiping coins into pieces, sprinkled it on the body, and ordered: "Old rules, be more neat."
The two servants silently lifted the body and disappeared silently through the secret door.
During the whole process, the lobby of the "inn" was silent. Some people looked as normal and turned a blind eye. Some people looked frightened and lowered their eyebrows.
The shopkeeper returned to the counter again, his face still friendly, not like a figure in the world, but like a smiling businessman.
Only the many old people who often live in the "inn" here know that this shopkeeper is not a simple person, and he has many lives on his hands. Otherwise, he would not be the head of the "inn" here. It is just that he is older and has a higher status.
When I got older, I stopped fighting and killing, and started to pay attention to the worldly manners, be harmonious and make money, and cultivate my character. Only then did I develop a somewhat charitable look.
But this kind of charity is only superficial. The world is not a good place, so there are no good people.
The shopkeeper's actions just now were intended to scare the monkeys. Apart from this unruly man, the young man who was greedy for money also ended up not much better. Previously, the shopkeeper had already mentioned him in words.
, but he insisted on going his own way. As the saying goes, good words can't persuade a damn ghost. No wonder the shopkeeper.
…
Fengtai County seat, county government hall.
A tall figure was pacing back and forth. He was also wearing cyan brocade clothes, but it was more luxurious than the Qingluan Guard Xiaoqi who had died in Yi Zhuang. His belt turned into a jade belt, and his animal head turned into eye-catching white.
The forehead of a tiger.
The small flag is only from the seventh rank, the general flag is the real seventh rank, and this person is from the sixth rank, and he is already a real powerful figure in a county.
Further up are the sixth-rank Baihu and the fifth-rank deputy Qianhu. As for the fifth-rank Qianhu, he is already a high-ranking figure in the Qingluan Guard, and there are only twenty Qianhu in the entire Qingluan Guard.
Zhou Feilong habitually held the bronze tiger head on his waist with one hand, and pressed the head of the "thin tiger knife" on his waist with the other hand, tapping the black-faced and white-soled official boots with his fingers.
Stepping on the dark ground, there was a sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps.
Sitting on the main seat not far away was his colleague, Qingluan Guard Li Sanxin.
Zhou Feilong stopped and glanced at Li Sanxin without leaving any trace.
Although Li Sanxin was promoted to a trial hundred household just last year, as a trusted confidant of Qianhu adults, rumors have spread recently that he will be promoted to a full sixth-grade hundred household in the near future.
Li Sanxin seemed to be completely unaware of Zhou Feilong's gaze. He held the tea bowl in his left hand and used the bowl lid in his right hand to skim off the foam and gently blew the hot air away before taking a sip.
Zhou Feilong looked away, feeling a little gloomy.
This time when I came to Fengtai County to deal with Li Hongwen's matter, I originally only needed one trial hundred households, but Lord Qianhu sent two trial hundred households. Their intention was nothing more than twofold: First, Lord Qianhu was against
He, Zhou Feilong, was worried, and secondly, Li Sanxin had a secret order.
Zhou Feilong had been a veteran Qingluan guard for decades, and even the prefect had arrested him, not to mention a magistrate like Li Hongwen, so he had nothing to worry about, so he expected that Li Sanxin had a secret order.
As for the content of this secret order, he had no idea.
At this moment, Li Sanxin put down the tea bowl in his hand, glanced at Zhou Feilong's untouched tea bowl, and said: "This tea is good. When you brew it with boiled spring water, the tips of the buds are floating vertically in the tea water."
, it should be the first crop of new tea this year, picked at night when the buds are showing. With just the salary of you and me, we can't buy a few taels in a year. If Brother Zhou doesn't drink it, wouldn't it be a pity."
A little smile appeared on Zhou Feilong's face, he sat back on the chair, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"Okay, it's top quality." Zhou Feilong put down his tea bowl and praised it.
Li Sanxin smiled and asked, "Brother Zhou seems a little absent-minded?"
Zhou Feilong straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li happened to mention this, so I will tell him directly. Although Li Hongwen has been brought to justice, many of his remnants are still outside. Let's escort his cronies.
Let him out, use him as bait to lure out Li Hongwen's remnants, and then catch them all. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this plan. After all, it has been done like this for so many years, but this time I don't know why, I always have it in my heart.
A little uneasy."
Li Sanxin's eyes suddenly became dark, and he picked up the bowl again, and the rising heat covered his face: "Brother Zhou is worrying too much."
Zhou Feilong also picked up his bowl of hot tea that was also filled with white mist, swallowed it in one gulp, and said with dark eyes: "I hope so."
Li Sanxin looked at the sky outside the door. The originally gray sky seemed to have been splashed with thick ink.
Zhou Feilong stood up and came to the door, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said: "The weather in the south changes at any time, and is moody."
He is from the north and is not used to the weather here.
"Rainy days are always a good time to kill people."
There were dark clouds outside, and the room became dark. Li Sanxin's face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly. His voice came from behind Zhou Feilong, and it was deep and deep, which actually made Zhou Feilong a little nervous.
It feels like a light on the back.
Zhou Feilong turned around and looked at his colleague.
At this moment, thunder broke out, illuminating the sky and the earth, as well as the dim main hall.
Under the blue-white lightning, Li Sanxin's face became clear.
Li Sanxin smiled slightly at Zhou Feilong, his white teeth gleaming in the dim environment.
Wind and thunder are always with you.
After the thunder, the wind passed through the city, and the originally quiet city suddenly became lively. Women were busy collecting clothes to dry, children shouting, and vendors hurriedly closed their stalls to take shelter from the rain, and hurried home.
Pedestrians were running away in a hurry, their footsteps were chaotic, and the street was in chaos.
Countless voices joined together, as if the whole city was whispering.
A heavy downpour came suddenly.
Raindrops the size of soybeans hit the eaves, making a crisp crackling sound. In an instant, they gathered on the tiles to form thin streams, flying down along the corners of the eaves, hanging out with silvery water lines.
The two people in the county government hall were indifferent to the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time.
The same goes for the Qingluan Guardsmen who were guarding outside the hall with their swords and armor on. They let the raindrops hit their armor with fierce sounds.
The long street outside the Yamen.
A young man wearing a hat and cloak was walking towards the county government office, which did not fit in well with this small town full of fireworks.
The young man's cloak had also been soaked by the rain, revealing the shape of a sword.
Rainy days are indeed a good day to kill people, especially in such heavy rains. As soon as the blood flows down, it will be washed away by the rain. After the rain passes and the sky clears, no trace will be left.
The rainwater hit his hat, making a "plop, plop" sound. The rainwater gathered on the slope of the hat and formed small streams. It dripped down like lines along the edge of the hat, and actually formed on the edges of the hat.
There is a circle of rain curtains, like a curtain.
