Chapter 296: A Taste of Strong Satisfaction
Since leaving the tomb.
After going ashore.
Jin An has been waiting for Escort Li to take the initiative to come to him, and then confess everything.
At the beginning, in the ancient tomb, because there were many people and the matter was urgent, it was not suitable for slow interrogation, so Jin An only interrogated a few words, and did not interrogate the identity of Li Huwei in depth.
Instead, wait for a detailed cross-examination after going ashore.
Jin An had already rehearsed it several times in his mind, how to interrogate him when the time came, what details to ask, and what to say this time, he must also find out the identity of Li Huwei.
But he rehearsed so many times in his mind, but he didn't rehearse that the few of them were standing in the sheep shed so casually, munching carrots in their hands, and interrogating Li Huwei with relish.
It's also too casual.
Click.
Click.
Not to mention, this "little ginseng" in Yanzhou Mansion is quite crisp, refreshing and juicy. After Jin An finished eating one, he picked up another carrot and rubbed it on his robe a few times very casually, and then continued to eat it with a crisp taste.
"Fat Li, let's talk about it specifically, what is your identity and origin?"
Jin An saw that Guard Li's eyes flickered and opened his mouth to speak, he interrupted: "Fat Li, don't you want to find an excuse to fool us. β
"Speaking of which, I recall all the process of our acquaintance, and there are many suspicious things about you. β
"The three major medicinal herb families in Fucheng are all more or less related to you. β
"Even the exact location of Headless Village was provided to us by you. β
"And many of your details in the headless village are also worth scrutinizing, such as those villagers' coffins, you can always remind us of some of the most overlooked details. β
"And this time in the case of pacifying the Dragon King in Xiayinyi River, you can even blend in with the iron cavalry guard of General Duwei... So when I was in the tomb, I had a bold guess in my heart, would you and the Captain have known each other for a long time? Otherwise, how could you have blended into the team so easily?"
"Speaking of which, the He family, the Xue family, the Jia family, as well as the Headless Village, the Dragon King of the Yinyi River, behind this series of events has always revolved around a group of people!
Guarding Li, who originally had flickering eyes and some caution in his heart, after listening to Jin An's analysis, he opened his mouth, trying to explain something, but in the end he hung his head, which was a complete abandonment of resistance.
"Daoist Jin An, if I confess to be lenient, then, can I have a small request......"
Li Huwei was a little embarrassed and said, "Can I become the fourth junior disciple of the Five Organs Taoist Temple?"
After Li Huwei finished speaking, he looked at Jin An with a longing look on his face, and his eager and anxious little eyes seemed to be deeply afraid that Jin An would refuse.
Jin An: "?"
Good guy, are you making a small request, Jin An was amused by Escort Li's words.
"Be serious, don't giggle, hippie smiley. Jin An glared at Li Huwei solemnly.
Li Huwei: "?"
Escort Li was stunned on the spot.
He wasn't smiling.
It's obviously the head of Jin'an, and you've been holding back your laughter.
At this time, the old Taoist priest was also amused by Li Huwei's strange words: "Li Huwei, have you forgotten what Lao Dao I said last time: 'Whoever enters my Taoist practice, memorizes the thirteen characters, cuts off wine and wealth, climbs to love, and worries, even if you can endure the pain of loneliness alone, can you quit drinking and meat?'"
The old Taoist priest said that this did not delay him in the slightest, and after he finished gnawing a carrot, his eyes turned and he quietly stole a carrot from the goat's mouth and continued to eat it deliciously.
After listening to the words of the old Taoist, Li Huwei said to the old Taoist priest with a nonchalant face: "Daoist Chen, I have inquired clearly before I come, the Taoist Temple of the Five Organs is the same, you can eat wine and drink meat, marry a wife and have children, and the three wives are no problem." β
"So Daochang Chen, don't use the 'Thirteen Characters of Taoism' to deceive me anymore. β
Boy.
It seems that this Li Escort really wants to worship the Five Visceral Taoist Temple, and when he is his fourth junior brother, he has explored everything clearly before he comes.
"Speaking of quitting alcohol and meat, last time I didn't inadvertently see Daoist Jin An, Daochang Chen, and the little brother who sharpened the sword from ......haggis" Before Li Huwei finished speaking, he was covered by Jin An and the old Taoist priest with a nervous expression, and the old Taoist priest directly stuffed the unfinished carrot in his hand into Li Huwei's mouth, choking Li Huwei rolled his eyes, suffocated and struggled, and his face became redder and redder.
When Jin An and the old Taoist priest noticed that something was wrong and let go of their hands, Li Huwei spit out the leftover carrot in his mouth, blushed and coughed violently, and coughed out a few pieces of carrot residue from his trachea by the way.
"Ahem, just talk about the main point, and skip the extra words. β
Jin An diverted the topic: "Fat Li, why do you have to worship the Five Visceral Taoist Temple? There are many Taoist temples in this world that are bigger than the Five Visceral Taoist Temple, and there are even Yujing Jinque in the capital where all the world's cultivators yearn for the holy land, the sky and the earth are big, and there is more than one Taoist temple in my Five Visceral Daoist Temple. β
The reason given by Li Huwei is very simple: "Because if you follow the Five Visceral Taoist Temple, or follow the Jin'an Daoist, you can hit evil spirits every day." β
The more Li Huwei spoke, the more excited his eyes became: "I haven't known Jin'an Daoist for a long time, it's a headless village, an ancient tomb, a tomb robber, and a dragon king, and today I encountered a coffin hiding case, and I haven't hit the evil spirits as many times in my life since I met Jin'an Daoist!"
Poof, the old Taoist priest on the side couldn't hold back his laughter, and the laughter spewed out, it was really sprayed, and a mouthful of residue was sprayed on the ground.
"Old Dao, you hurry up and clean, clean, it's disgusting. Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly.
The old Taoist priest went to get a broom and a dustpan.
"Fat Li, don't be sloppy, put aside the matter of not being able to enter the Five Organs Taoist Temple for the time being, you have been sloppy so much, you haven't gotten to the point yet, what is your relationship with the three major medicinal material families in Fucheng, Duwei, and those antique dealers?"
Jin An looked directly at Li Huwei.
Under his Five Thunder Evil Talisman, all the evil demons and outsiders did not dare to look directly at him, and all the people with unscrupulous hearts did not dare to look directly at him.
Under Jin An's direct gaze, Li Huwei didn't show anything abnormal, he scratched his head, as if he was worried about how to organize the language, and then he talked to Jin An'an one by one.
"Daoist Jin'an should still remember the ability of some of those antique dealers to change people's lives and change them into official fortunes and prosperous fortunes, right?
"This matter has to start from more than ten years ago, more than ten years ago, a marquis in the capital died violently in the palace, involving a big case, and was beheaded by many officials who colluded with foreign clans......"
Escort Li had a serious expression on his face.
"Since the big incident that shook the government and the opposition, the capital has been cleared, and the mixed capital has been a lot quieter, and the mastermind behind the scenes has also been ambushed. β
However, later there was a secret report that there were still a few remnants of the incident that happened to not be in the capital and escaped, and since the conspiracy was discovered, these people have acted more cautiously, and there has been no news of them for more than ten years. It wasn't until ten years ago that there were finally clues about them, and these people showed signs of resurgence, secretly harming people, changing people's lives, depriving others of their noble lives, replacing them with their people, making their official fortunes prosperous, and planting foreign chess pieces among the officials of Kangdingguo. β
"But this time they are more cunning and more careful, they dare not blatantly plant chess pieces in the capital inspected by the Son of Heaven, but in some local officials of Kangding State, they planted foreign secret chess pieces, trying to subvert the peace of Kangding State from the cornerstone, as the so-called embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and the hundred-foot room was burned with the smoke of the crack......"
"That's why we appeared in the capital city of Wuzhou, to find all the foreign clans, to find all the dark chess lists in the officials. β
Li Huwei said so much in one breath, some dry mouth and took a few deep breaths, he looked at Jin An, and saw that Jin An's face was calm, it seemed that he had expected these for a long time, Li Huwei looked at Jin An in surprise.
"Who else are we, besides you and Du Wei?" Jin An asked with a calm expression.
Li Huwei replied truthfully: "The people who came to Fucheng first were General Duwei and Lord Fuyin, and they cooperated with each other to stabilize the situation and slowly find out the foreign secret chess pieces planted in the officials of Wuzhou Mansion. β
"Later... As the investigation deepened, Fu Yin and Du Wei were attacked, Du Wei was okay, as a martial artist, he was masculine and not afraid of those rats who hid their heads and tails, but Fu Yin was just a weak ordinary person, and if you want to find out these foreign secret chess, in addition to the investigation on the surface, you must also have a secret place to cooperate......"
"So later, I, and a master from Yujing Jinque, a master from Zhenguo Temple, and a master from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, specially rushed from the capital to Wuzhou Mansion to protect the safety of the whole Mansion Yin, and at the same time cooperated with the Captain and the Mansion Yin in the dark to investigate the case together. β
As a result, Fucheng came into being as the times requires, and three major medicinal material merchant families were born, namely the He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family. Let the He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family compete with each other and become the 'enemies' in the business field, so that it is easiest to confuse the public and the easiest to bait in troubled waters. β
"Civil officials, military attachΓ©s, shopping malls, white and underworld masters, Yujing Jinque masters, Zhenguo Temple masters, Tianshifu masters, guarding the spiritual way, this is called the heaven and earth net, which is full of our people in the open and in the dark, so that the group of foreigners have nothing to hide. β
"As for why the three major medicinal herb merchants have been cultivated, because if these demon monks want to cultivate, they will definitely need a large number of medicinal stones, as long as they master the circulation channels of medicinal stones, they can roughly deduce the movement trajectory of this group of foreign clans according to which place has a particularly large consumption of special medicinal stones. β
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he slapped his thigh: "No wonder, I'll just say it, the feng shui patterns of Hefu, Xuefu, and Jiafu, although they are artificially disguised, can still be seen from some small details, all of them are from the handwriting of the same feng shui master." β
The old Taoist priest had to get up as he spoke, he really guessed correctly, the feng shui pattern of the mansions of the three families really came from the same person, and the feelings Li Huwei You are the big boss behind the three families.
Being praised by the old Taoist priest like this, Li Huwei couldn't be happy, but frowned with a worried face, sighed and said: "But even if we have done it very secretively, but in this New Year, it is impossible to cover everything, and there will always be clues in some inadvertent small details... Otherwise, when he was in Lingqian Township, when Daoist Jin An and Master Shanneng went to the yin, they would never find Xiao Drought in Jiafu. β
"It is unlikely that He Mansion and Xue Mansion will have accidents one after another. β
"At the beginning, they led the head of Jin'an and Master Shanneng of Bailong Temple to Jiajia's house, and they made it clear that they wanted to move the disaster to the east, and they wanted to break the situation that we had worked hard to manage for so many years. Fortunately, Daoist Jin An and Master Shanneng are not thoughtful people, and they did not easily fall for those foreign thieves. β
Jin An thought for himself.
Anything makes sense now.
Why did when I went to Lingqian Township, there were military crossbows controlled by the imperial court in the entourage of the eldest lady.
It also makes sense why the three major local families have accidents one after another.
As for this group of foreigners who coveted the Kangding Guosheji, why did the place of this resurgence take place in Wuzhou Mansion? Obviously, everything started ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, the Wuzhou Mansion was broken.
More than ten years ago, the Yinyi River in Wuzhou Mansion was cut off, and the stone ox carried the corpse to solve the immortal stone coffin.
This group of antique dealers has been eyeing the Cave Heaven Blessed Land Passage in Wuzhou Mansion from the very beginning! They have been secretly causing trouble in Wuzhou Mansion for ten years!
Whew-
After thinking about all this, Jin An exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.
He just came to Fucheng to return the relics of the Five Visceral Daoists, but he didn't expect that so many things would be involved, and he would be involved in the quagmire of power for the government and the opposition.
It stands to reason that as an ordinary person, he should not be involved in the quagmire of power between the government and the opposition, because this is a quagmire of flesh and blood that eats people and does not spit out bones.
Trapped.
It's easy to not get out.
But!
Jin An has no regrets.
I didn't think about the idea of withdrawing and staying out of the matter.
Because, whether it is public or private, he must cut down the grass and eradicate that group of antique dealers! And the appearance of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land Passage this time is the best opportunity to wipe out these people!
"Lee, uh......"
Jin An was speechless for a while, and after learning these secrets, he found that he didn't know what to call Li Huwei for a while.
Li Huwei is still the same Li Huwei, his heart is wide and fat, and he said with a smile on his indifferent fat face: "Daoist Jin'an, let's still follow the old way, Li Huwei, Li Fatzi, Li Suo, Li Ying... Whichever is yours. β
"Fat Li, can you tell me how the daughter of Fu Yin died?" Jin An's question made Li Huwei's face change.
"This... It's a little wicked. Escort Li stopped talking.
"The daughter of Fu Yin died very miserably, her hands, feet and head were lost, and in the end, it was the master of Yujing Jinque, the master of Zhenguo Temple, and the master of Tianshifu that I said earlier, and then I didn't know what happened, and finally found the lost body, and stitched up the hands and feet, the head, and hurriedly sealed the coffin and buried it. It is also because of this that the three masters were all injured, among which the master of Zhenguo Temple and the master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, who were the most heavily burdened, had to temporarily return to the capital first, leaving only one master of Yujing Jinque in the city. β
But the three masters were reluctant to reveal what exactly they had encountered, why they were seriously injured, and did not say a word. No one knows what happened to the three masters that night. β
Jin An was stunned.
I didn't think there was such a deep involvement in this.
"That Yujing Jinque master, could it be the mysterious Taoist master who controlled the little drought to cry and break the Yinyi River when he was in the Dragon King Temple that night?"
Li Huwei nodded.
At this time, the old Taoist priest smashed the carrot in his mouth, and said in surprise: "That's not right, didn't Du Wei say that night that this Taoist master was not from Yujing Jinque?"
Li Huwei answered the question of the old Taoist, they came to Wuzhou Mansion to investigate the list of officials, foreign antique dealers, all of them acted in secret, and it was not suitable to show their identities too publicly.
Speaking of the matter of the Yinyi River, Li Huwei couldn't help but complain to Jin'an, he had found Du Wei, he also wanted to go down the Yin Yi River, but Du Wei and Fu Yin both refused, not letting him go down the Yin Yi River, saying that he was worried about his safety.
But it's such a lively event, especially if you can still see the legendary dragon king, how can you miss him?
Later, he came to the Five Visceral Taoist Temple to find Jin An, and planned to let Jin An take him down the Yinyi River to fight evil spirits after changing his appearance.
As a result, Jin An at that time had been busy dealing with the affairs of the Jia family, and he couldn't meet Jin An and the old Taoist priest several times, but he was idle and bored, offended the goat, and almost didn't get out of the Five Organs Taoist Temple alive.
In the end, he had to make a decision, disguised himself as an iron cavalry guard, and took the opportunity to blend in with the team......
Li Huwei's courage is amazing, and it is not the first time that Jin An has seen it, he is not surprised, he is just curious about another thing: "Who is the identity of that Yujing Jinque master?"
Who knows, Li Huwei shook his head and said that he had promised someone that he would not reveal his identity, so that Jin An would not embarrass him......
"Do I know this person?"
"Male or female?"
Jin An frowned and pondered, and continued to ask.
