When I came to the inner hall, Qi Xiaowei looked at me with a lot of nature, and said, Li Laohu's position is not obvious, but he is also the elder of the Sihe Hall, and he has a good relationship with several hall masters, Xiaobai, it is really a bit reckless for you to humiliate him in front of so many people today.

I was silent.

I've long seen Li Laohu unpleasant, and this guy has made things difficult for me several times. After all, Sihetang is a gangster, and a great man once said that mixing society is not about inviting guests to dinner, not making a fuss, not embroidering, but to be calm, polite, and courteous. If I blindly tolerate it, I am afraid that the rest of the hall will think that I am afraid of him, so I will not hesitate to teach him a lesson in the face of his provocation today.

I thought Qi Xiaowei would blame me, but she smiled and said, However, I like it very much.

I smiled bitterly and said, I just did what the Qi Hall Master wanted to do but never did. Master Qi, I do things by myself, even if the ninth master is to blame for this matter, even if he spoils me.

Qi Xiaowei glared at me and said, what kind of person do you think of your sister? Now that Sihetang is the time to employ people, you have a good brain and good martial arts, Jiu Ye, I'll help you say it. Even if he wants to be held responsible, I'll help you carry it.

A big reason for coming to Qi Xiaowei for an appointment is that I want to inquire about how the Executive Committee after today's main church meeting and the Sihetang are going to deal with the Netherworld Cult, but Qi Xiaowei didn't say a word about this matter.

Qi Xiaowei frowned and said, why are you asking about this?

I said that the Netherworld God Cult has been very arrogant in the rivers and lakes recently, and now it has stretched its hands and feet to the capital, and the cousins have come to talk about it.

Qi Xiaowei thought for a moment, and then said, I can tell you, but you are not allowed to mention it to anyone!

I raised my hand and swore that I would not pass it on.

Qi Xiaowei said in a low voice, this matter is related to last year's empty seal case. Sect Master Xu secretly came to Beijing for one thing. This thing is also what my Sihetang is determined to obtain, if this thing can fall into their hands, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will change.

I was surprised, what is it?

Qi Xiaowei was very cautious and said, the living note of the former emperor Zhu Wuneng.

It dawned on me that Xu Ruonan had come to the capital for this! In other words, the Netherworld Divine Sect was probably also involved in Zhu Wuneng's matter. What I can't figure out is, what is the benefit of doing this, could it be that the Netherworld Sect also wants to dominate the martial arts?

I asked, what's there to fight about?

Qi Xiaowei said with a smile, you are still young. Now the dark tide of the court is surging, it is said that the former emperor Zhu Wuneng did not die, and there are rumors in the market that the current emperor was not born to the first emperor, so its legitimacy is doubtful, and the evidence is this living note. If the former emperor can be restored, wouldn't the people who gave their living notes become the ministers who support the establishment?

I wondered, even if the first emperor didn't die, he would be seventy or eighty years old, what is the use of wanting this throne?

Qi Xiaowei said, but Zhu Wuneng didn't think so, although more than 30 years have passed, there are still a few people in the world who are willing to follow him. Not to mention anything else, Shen Zhengdao is the leader of the Bingchen Branch in the sixth year of Kaitai, and he is deeply loved by the emperor. This empty seal case, which seems to have made a mistake in the household department, is actually a liquidation of the current emperor's old ministers of the previous dynasty.

Qi Xiaowei said again, besides, what if the former emperor still has heirs alive?

I asked, are we going to go to war with the Netherworld?

Qi Xiaowei said that although the Netherworld Sect is not as good as the Demon Sect back then, its strength should not be underestimated, especially that Xu Ruonan, who acted ruthlessly and decisively, and was worse than his teacher, if it was not necessary, we would also try to avoid war, but if it really came to that point, our Sihetang would not be vegetarian. Hey, I'm telling you that.

I know that the combat power that Sihetang really relies on is those masters of Neizhuang. From a conversation overheard in Neizhuang that night, it can be concluded that this Neizhuang is probably not so simple, after all, Sihetang has been operating in the capital for decades, from a little-known small gang to the largest gang in the capital, if there is no deep background, it is probably a lie.

It was getting late, and I was ready to take my leave.

Qi Xiaowei smiled and said, I really didn't expect that you look gentle and elegant, but you didn't expect to be a flower thief in the Guanlong area!

I was embarrassed and said, sister, don't make fun of me.

Qi Xiaowei said solemnly, Xiaobai, you saved my sister's life, I haven't repaid you yet, if you don't dislike it, stay tonight.

Although this Qi Xiaowei is a half-old, she still has the ability to charm people, and I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control it if I accidentally do it. I fled from the White Tiger Hall in a hurry, and I took a deep breath. It is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the streets are full of red lanterns, and the taste of the New Year is getting more and more. At the end of each year, the curfew is not strictly enforced, and many people who visit relatives and friends, visit the streets, say auspicious words for the New Year, and walk on the streets.

But I didn't feel any joy in my heart. In addition to the night watchmen in the major yamen in the capital, the rest of the people have already rested, and the six doors are no exception, and Lu Zhongyuan even took his family to the suburbs outside the city for the New Year.

When they arrived at the robbery hall, except for Lao Feng, who was drinking alcohol at the gatekeeper, the rest of the people had long since disappeared. When Lao Feng saw me, he said that Hall Master Jiang hadn't gone home yet? I wondered, but what about the rest? Didn't he say that there was action at night?

Old Feng Shi laughed, there is no bonus this year, the brothers are full of complaints, just talking, who still expects to really contribute? I shook my head, and secretly sighed that these people are really muddy and can't support the wall, I asked him why he didn't go back.

Lao Feng smiled bitterly and said, Where are you going? I didn't get a penny, I went back to face the woman, and I didn't know how to count me, so it was better to be here, trying to be clean. I sighed in my heart, took out ten taels of silver, and said take it back for the New Year, this year, no one is easy.

Lao Feng Lian waved his hand and said, I am on duty today, and I am going to lose something, and the rules of the hall are not a joke.

I looked at the dilapidated courtyard of the robbery hall and said mockingly, except for your half catty of pig's head meat and a few catties of burnt knives, where is there anything valuable in the whole yard?

I suddenly wanted to drink, but I didn't have many friends in the capital, thinking about it, Zhang Youqian counted one, Li Muge counted one, and Xiao Dingyuan, who had a few encounters last year, barely counted half.

Zhang Youqian and the jade-faced Rakshasa Chen Qingyang went to find the treasure of King Qi, Li Muge was said to have been punished after losing the manuscript of the history of Lingzong not long ago, but fortunately, Xie Shiting stood up in time and said a few words, so that he was saved from being punished, and now he can't come out.

Go home?

Although I found a house in the capital, my home was empty, and it was no different from here.

Before Lao Feng left, he left the wine and meat, and I looked at the bleak thief hall and drank it myself. As the saying goes, if one person doesn't drink, two people don't play with money. Sure enough, after a few glasses of wine, a burst of warmth rose from the lower abdomen, and I was a little drunk.

What the restoration of the first emperor, what the shocking array, what the Stygian Mountain mastery, all left behind.

Since returning to Beijing, I have always felt quite stressed, especially when I was targeted by the sword Wushuang of the Queen of the Underworld, and I always felt like a sword hanging above my head, which made me twist.

I began to think about the ins and outs of these things, and I once saw from Shen Wushuang that Shen Zhengdao had written a letter to Lu Zhongyuan before the accident. Not long after that, Shen Zhengdao was all over the place, what role did Lu Zhongyuan play in it?

Escorting Xu Kaishan south, there are so many masters who don't need to put six doors, Lu Zhongyuan deliberately chose me, why?

Xu Kaishan and Feng Wanli do not have a high evaluation of Lu Zhongyuan, and even have some disdain, why is this?

After the theft of the tribute silver, Feng Bao appeared in Neizhuang, what is the connection between all this?

Why did the West Gate blow the lantern and send me down the mountain, but why did they arrange for me to enter the six gates?

Why did the Immortal Sword Wushuang bring me into the Shocking Array, and how could I strangely activate this Shocking Array?

Everything is like a mess, and everything seems to be faintly linked. Over the past year, I've felt like I've been manipulated and feel a little powerless. I need someone to guide me through the maze, but I know it's impossible, and I can and can only find out on my own.

Above the tower, the drum beats the three watches.

There is a groomer who carries a wind lamp and shouts in a subdued voice: The weather is dry, be careful of the candles. Anti-theft, close doors and windows, big ghosts and small ghosts sit in rows, safe and sound!

The sound faded away.

I took the last sip and rolled over to the roof. On the long street, there was no one, and the whole capital seemed to be asleep.

Looking up at the sky, the stars are dense, the sea of stars is vast, and the twenty-eight stars are in the night sky, which is extraordinarily bright.

I exhaled hard, performed a light effort, and disappeared into the night.

Shen Mansion.

After the case of Shen Zhengdao's extermination, the residents on this street have long been emptied, and the mansion that was full of traffic back then is now like a ghost, and it is rumored that it is still haunted in the middle of the night. The people would rather take a few more detours than walk from this alley.

I released the Spider Silk True Yuan, and there were still officers and soldiers guarding the Shen Mansion, but from the breath sense, those martial arts masters yesterday were no longer there. I sighed in my heart, even the master of Zhixuan has to go home for the New Year, this year, people like me who run around overnight are a minority after all.

I was about to climb over the wall to enter, when I suddenly heard the voices of several young children talking, and I was so surprised that I hid aside.

One person, Fang Zhihao, on weekdays, you say that you are bold, if you dare to go in tonight, I will obey you in the future, how about it, dare or not?

The baby named Fang Zhihao said stubbornly, why don't I dare? Liu Jingping, don't provoke me!

The baby surnamed Liu said: If you really dare, then go in, this mansion was beheaded two years ago, and it was haunted in the middle of the night, but don't blame me for not reminding you! If you don't dare, kowtow to me three times, and I won't mention it.

The other babies wanted to laugh, but when they saw that this place was gloomy, they were silent.

Fang Zhihao said, even if there are ghosts, I am not afraid. My dad is the secretary of the criminal department!

Liu Jingping said with a smile, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not a judge, but he can't control the ghosts, as far as I know, the Shen Mansion family is destroyed, and the supervisor was your son back then. Tonight, if you want to go in, the unjust soul of the Shen family will definitely chase you for your life, haha!

I watched it for a while, and I probably understood that this baby named Fang Zhihao made a bet with Liu Jingping to see who was bold. That Fang Zhihao was provoked and said, I'll go now, I'm going, I will be the boss in the future.

Liu Jingping said, just listen to you.

The door of the Shen Mansion had long been decayed, Fang Zhihao was bold, pushed the door in, and before he could step in, Liu Jingping suddenly said, Ghost!

Fang Zhihao screamed, fell to the ground, and the boys laughed.
