Zhang Yuelu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
It is impossible for Pan Cuiqing to know the old affairs of Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Even if he investigates the case, he will not find it so far back at the first time. Normally, the investigation should be carried out slowly as the case progresses.
Who immediately provided Pan Cuiqing with the information that Qi Xuansu and Wan Xiuwu had an old grudge?
Thinking of Yue Liuli's past relationship with Wan Xiuwu, and Yue Liuli's current relationship with Pan Cuiqing, the answer is already obvious.
It was Yue Liuli who told Pan Cuiqing about the old grudge between Qi Xuansu and Wan Xiuwu.
Why did Yue Liuli do this? Why was her first reaction to Qi Xuansu? A dead person.
Zhang Yuelu thought it was a guilty conscience, and recalled the scene when the two met in Wuxu Palace. Yue Liuli was indeed a little unnatural. Zhang Yuelu didn't think much about it at the time. Looking back now, Yue Liuli seemed a little afraid of him.
This makes it very clear that Wan Xiuwu and Qi Xuansu had an old grudge, and Yue Liuli was also involved, so after Wan Xiuwu died, Yue Liuli was more panicked than sad. He immediately suspected Qi Xuansu, and even because of her
She was suspicious of her relationship with Qi Xuansu.
So what happened that year?
Although she and Qi Xuansu were life-and-death friends, they had only known each other for a short time and could not even say that they knew everything about them. She only knew a rough idea of many things.
Zhang Yuelu came to his senses and ordered: "Mu Jin, in the name of Tiangangtang, write a letter to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, requesting access to the relevant files of the Bingzi Nianjia Department of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace."
Mu Jin responded and left quickly.
Zhang Yuelu came to the desk again and began to write down his many speculations.
Whether it was Qin Wubing, Pei Xiaolou, or the three evil objects in the cave of the Ghost Kingdom, she could not investigate them rashly now. She could only report them to her master Cihang.
However, since it was all speculation and there was no concrete evidence to support it, Zhang Yuelu did not intend to send it to Cihang in the form of an official letter, but instead wrote a long letter.
Then Zhang Yuelu handed the long letter to Tian Baobao and told him: "Don't send the Tiangang Hall's 'Xun Talisman Array'. Send the Zhangtang Master's private 'Xun Talisman Array'. Remember it."
"Yes." Tian Baobao solemnly agreed.
As Zhang Yuelu's status rises and his affairs increase, he will inevitably need someone to assist him and share some of the paperwork and chores. Now Mu Jin and Tian Bao Bao are taking on this role, with Mu Jin as the main one and Tian Bao Bao as the supplement. The court and Taoist sects
Called "Secretary", the name comes from the secretarial province in ancient times. It is more convenient that all three of them are women.
After doing this, Zhang Yuelu began to rethink Wei Wugui's problem.
Now, Wan Xiuwu's case involves more than just Wan Xiuwu. She will pursue it no matter what.
Next, she will go to Longmen Mansion.
One is to go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to check the relevant files.
Second, there are various signs that Wei Wugui went to Longmen Mansion after leaving "Ghost Pass".
In fact, she also thought about apprehending Wei Wugui directly through Zhongzhou Daofu, or simply sending people to search for Wei Wugui, but after thinking about it, she gave up this idea.
She is not a pedantic person, and the lack of evidence is just one of the reasons. The key is that she wants to see Wei Wugui's next move, which is to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish.
As for Wei Wugui himself, or Qi Xuansu, he still didn't know that he had been targeted by Zhang Yuelu.
At this time, he had taken Liu Hu to Shi'an County, where the Sunless City among the four cities in Zhongzhou was located.
The Tao Sect is known as the Three Thousand Avenues and Eight Hundred Side Sects. There are ways to control swords, talismans, elixirs and cauldrons, divination and calculations, raising ghosts and raising corpses, yin and yang prophecies, etc.
.
In addition, there is also a branch of Fangzhongshu in the Taoist sect, which deals with skin and flesh business, also known as prostitution.
The prostitution is in this Zixian Mountain, or Zixian Mountain itself is a huge brothel, even more so than in prosperous places such as Jiangnan and Imperial Capital.
As early as the Ming and Yong years of the previous dynasty, before the Taoist sects were unified, they were still fragmented. The prostitutes spent countless manpower and financial resources to hollow out the entire Zixian Mountain and built a city in it.
In addition to a group of prostitutes, there are also countless musicians, tailors, craftsmen, and servants in Music, making it possible for people to have everything they need without leaving home.
The owner here is like a self-reliant king, known as the "Tianle Cult Master" and the "Purple Immortal King".
This huge courtyard was named "Tianle Taoyuan" by him.
As the name suggests, for guests from all over the world, this place is a paradise that is enough to make them forget about Shu. However, for those who are miserable, it is a place that is inaccessible and inaccessible. It is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out.
Among them are not only women, but also men, who are responsible for receiving female guests. Some were cruelly sold by their parents because of poverty at home, and some were trafficked. There are even rumors that many handsome men and women in the world have also been poisoned and raped.
Tie to this place. No matter what your origin is, after you come here, you will only have one identity, and you will never see the light of day again in this life.
After Xuansheng Zhongxing Daomen, he banned this place and ordered the proper placement of the men and women there.
However, to Xuansheng's surprise, many people were unwilling to leave Zixian Mountain and even begged Xuansheng not to ban Zixian Mountain.
Some people are left alone and have nowhere to go. Others have become accustomed to the life in Zixian Mountain. They have no worries about food and clothing, and have a good income. On the contrary, after leaving this place, they don't know how to establish themselves.
Moreover, how can the simple meals outside compare with the fine clothes and fine food here? How can self-reliance compare with being cared for here?
Coupled with the entanglement of various interests, many Taoist elders also held objections. In the end, Xuansheng made a certain compromise and still retained the Purple Fairy Mountain, but added various rules, prohibiting the use of deception, coercion, etc. to force girls into prostitution.
To be free, if anyone violates it, he will be severely punished once discovered.
It is strange to say that Zixian Mountain has not declined because of this, but has become more and more prosperous. Every year, many handsome men and beauties come to Zixian Mountain voluntarily, and there is no resentment at all.
Just because Zixian Mountain is generous enough, these men and women are from ordinary families. The peace money earned here in one year is worth a lifetime outside. Who knows if you can earn enough peace money while you are young and put on clothes?
Ordinary people don't have the money to come to places like this, so they naturally have no way of knowing what's going on here.
The man marries a woman from a good family and becomes rich and respectable. The woman marries an honest man, and from then on she takes care of her husband and raises her children.
That's a serious person.
If you are lucky, you can become the kind of aristocratic courtesan or actor who can only be seen from a distance but not played with. Then you will have no idle contacts, and all you will come into contact with are first-class powerful people. You will be rich and powerful just around the corner.
There is a poem "Pipa" by Shi Mo. In it, the Pipa girl is considered a good person after marrying a merchant's wife, but she is full of complaints and longing for the past. She just laments that time is fleeting, and there are few horses and horses in front of the house. She does not feel that she has fallen into the world.
Bad thing. It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, in troubled and prosperous times, people have laughed at the poor but not at prostitution.
This is the reason for the existence of Zixian Mountain.
In Qi Xuansu's view, it is true that places like this are a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and they are also focused on by Taoist sects. If a large group of people moves, it will immediately attract the attention of Taoist sects. If a few people take action secretly, he can handle it by himself. So Qi Xuansu decided to start from Shimen County
Go away, leaving those hiding in the dark unable to attack.
After all, this matter is shady. It can be seen that the people hiding behind the scenes don't even dare to send their own troops to take action.
However, as soon as Qi Xuansu arrived in Shimen County, he discovered that he seemed to have made a wrong calculation.
Because a large number of Qingluan Guards and police officers had gathered in Shimen County at this time, the Qingluan Guards temporarily sealed off Shimen County and were investigating a series of serial cases.
Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu were also detained here.
Fortunately, Qi Xuansu also found an old acquaintance.
On the eighth day, Qingluan Guard Deputy Qianhu had an encounter with Qi Xuansu at the Feilong Inn in Yanze. The two teamed up to kill two masters of the "Tianting". Later, they parted ways in Xiping Mansion, and Qi Xuansu went to Cuo
Western Gobi in Wenbu.
Qi Xuansu didn't expect that Yang Yang would be transferred here again on the eighth day to investigate the case, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. If he wanted to be promoted quickly, he had to "move". If he always stayed in one place without moving, then
It's very difficult.
There was no other way, so Qi Xuansu could only reveal his true appearance and go to see the Eighth Heaven Yang.
