Chapter 12: After the Fact

Xiao Cui nervously watched those brocade guards rush into the backyard, and when she saw that they didn't even let go of the study, Xiao Cui couldn't help but scream in her heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She knew that the young lady was hiding inside just now, and since the young lady was hiding, it must be because she couldn't be discovered by these brocade guards, and things were definitely going to change.

Those brocade guards rushed into Tang Shiming's study, and they rudely overturned the bookshelves and removed all the furnishings.

The porcelain vase that opened the door to the chamber on the floor was also removed, but the clever design protected the chamber. The porcelain vase is completely an ordinary porcelain vase, and the brick under it is the key.

The brick has a gray painted iron hook that hooks one of the three holes in the bottom of the vase when it is turned, and if the vase is removed directly, the iron hook is embedded in the brick and is almost impossible to find.

There didn't seem to be anything found in the study, it was just an ordinary level inspection, and it was not very strict, so these brocade guards left directly after turning through it.

The servants and maids were driven from the various rooms into the courtyard, and dozens of maids and servants were uneasy.

Long Baihu sat on the stone chair in the courtyard, waiting for those brocade guards to come out and report.

The whole search process didn't take long, and half an hour later, those brocade guards returned one after another, secretly reporting in Long Baihu's ears.

In the end, all the Jinyi Guard soldiers returned, and Long Baihu's face was a little lighter, and he said, "Tang Juren, excuse me, take your leave." ”

"Farewell," Tang Shiming said.

Seeing that all the Jinyi guards left, Xiao Cui closed the door, and the maids and servants also returned to their respective places.

This time he didn't come specifically to arrest Tang Mo, Tang Shiming was very glad in his heart, because just now, he suddenly understood that if these people really came to catch Mo'er, then they couldn't hide it anyway.

Tang Shiming asked Xiaocui to go back to the boudoir, and then he went into the study, moved the vase back to its original place, and then opened the mechanism.

Walking into the secret room along the secret passage, Tang Shiming saw that his daughter was waiting anxiously.

"Mo'er, they're just searching in columns, not here to arrest you. Tang Shiming said.

"Really?" Tang Mo couldn't help but show a happy expression.

"Mo'er, tell my father what happened?" Tang Shiming said.

Tang Mo pursed her lips, although she was a little hesitant, but she really had no way to continue to hide it now, some things had to be told to her father.

"Dad, I improved Dr. Wang's beauty prescription and made Ning Xian Lu, Xiao Cui tried it, and it became much better, and then I wanted to make more money, so I sold some of Ning Xian Lu, which attracted the covetousness of the White Lotus Sect, and that night, the White Lotus Sect demon took me, and then tried to force Ning Xian Lu to ask for the prescription. My daughter knows that if I tell them, then I will definitely die......" Tang Mo recounted the thrilling experience of this month, except for the matter of Xiantian, everything else was truthful.

Tang Shiming sighed and said, "Mo'er, from today onwards, I'm afraid you will never be able to get rid of the White Lotus Sect again, and my father also knows something about the past of the White Lotus Sect, so you can listen to me." ”

"When my ancestors were up, the White Lotus Sect had a very close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, when Zhu Yuanzhang promised to drive away the Yuan people and win the world, he would make the White Lotus Sect the state religion, at that time the White Lotus Sect had two major sects, namely the female-dominated Yin White Lotus and the male-dominated Yang White Lotus, of which the Yin White Lotus was mainly responsible for collecting intelligence and assassinating Yuan Dynasty officials, while the Yang White Lotus was in the army, serving as a scout, pioneer and killer. ”

Tang Shiming walked to the desk and slapped the table hard.

"Zhu Yuanzhang has a small belly, after getting the world, he killed a lot of generals who followed him to fight the Yuan people, and he should have rewarded high-ranking officials Houlu, but he fabricated charges and killed them one by one, and the White Lotus Sect was also among them. ”

"Yang Bailian was almost slaughtered, Yin Bailian also lost most of it, the White Lotus Sect had to escape into the shadows, the sect members were slaughtered, the leader was killed, and now it is getting weaker and weaker, and what is still preserved now is basically a branch of Yin and White Lotus, and the one who captured you should be a branch of Yin White Lotus, they may want to use the Ning Xianlu you made to develop believers, but what is the real purpose, I don't know, maybe they want to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang in the end and avenge their betrayal." ”

"Dad, there are many people in the White Lotus Sect who are very powerful in martial arts, why don't they assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang by themselves. Tang Mo asked.

"Mo'er, you think about the world simply. Tang Shiming walked to the table, looked at Tang Mo and said, "The so-called internal strength is just practicing qi, since the time of the pre-Qin period, there have been qi practitioners in this world, and they can have the ability to surpass ordinary people by taking the qi of heaven and earth into their own bodies." But qi practitioners are also human beings, and if they are human beings, there is a distinction between high and low. The same method of practicing qi, some people can be small in three or five years, and they can lift a hundred catties of stones like nothing, and some people are just mediocre in their lives. There are qi training methods in the rivers and lakes, and there are naturally qi training methods in the army, and there are masters in the rivers and lakes, and there are naturally masters in the army. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's Praetorian Guards, there are eight commanders, all of whom are congenital masters, and the eight of them have been following Zhu Yuanzhang for decades, loyal and guarding day and night, relying on the White Lotus alone, it is almost impossible to assassinate. ”

"Dad, what are we going to do in the future?" Tang Mo said with some panic.

"Let's wait and see what happens, since the White Lotus Sect has made you a saint, it will not be left alone, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, you just need to remember, don't offend the White Lotus, don't offend the royal family, be a low-key person, be mellow, and at the same time appease the White Lotus Sect, don't openly oppose the royal family, it's enough, if you can learn more from your father, you may not be able to take some benefits from it." Tang Shiming said.

Since waking up, Tang Shiming has felt that his mind is much clearer, and many things can be figured out as soon as he thinks about it, his daughter is now entangled by the White Lotus Sect, but he may not have the opportunity to take advantage of the White Lotus Sect.

"Then the White Lotus Sect wants to condense immortal dew, you can give it, but you can't give it to them directly, when the people of the White Lotus Sect come, you tell them that you need extremely valuable materials to make condensing immortal dew, and ask them for money, saying that you can't do it without something, I think they will definitely find a way to get you money, Mo'er, you are a businessman." Tang Shiming laughed.

"Dad, you're getting better and better. Tang Mo couldn't help but smile and said, that bottle of fairy water not only saved his father's life, but also brought his intelligence back to the peak.

"Dad, do you want to try the exam again, maybe you can get into the Jinshi. Tang Mo said.

The biggest blow to Tang Shiming was that he would try to fail, but Tang Mo felt that his current father might be able to try again.

"Okay, since Mo'er wants me to go, then I'll go again, exactly two months later, the exam will be held, and see if your father can rise in middle age and take the Jinshi exam for my baby daughter." Tang Shiming also felt that his brain power was really different, and he also had an idea in his heart, and as soon as Tang Mo said, he simply agreed.
