Chapter 49: The Undercurrent (Large Portion, Subscription Requested)

"Yuze, you did a good job during the day!" The second hall of the Baiqi Division was brightly lit, and the deputy chief Zheng Kejun threw a three-inch square black wooden sign into the arms of the school captain Zhou Run, and called the other party to praise him.

"The subordinates don't dare to be greedy, thanks to the general manager who is the first to prepare the enemy!" Zhou Run held up the wooden card with both hands, hugged his fist at Zheng Kejun with a smile on his face, and then bowed his body into a shrimp.

"Don't dare to be greedy, just return the reward card to me, and keep it for others!" Zheng Kejun's face did not have the seriousness in front of Li Xian, and he stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Boss, there are many people in the subordinate family, lack of money, lack of money!" Where is Zhou Run willing to hand in the wooden card he just got? While dodging left and right, he begged for mercy repeatedly, "The daughter of the subordinate family, just wait for the subordinate to get a reward for her to buy a dowry." The chief is gracious, how can there be any reason to take back the reward that is given?! ”

"Shit, your daughter is only seven years old!" Zheng Kejun was nimble, and he controlled Zhou Run in three clicks and two clicks, snatched back the reward card that could go to receive thirty hanging money, and then threw it back in the other party's arms. "If you talk nonsense with Lao Tzu in the future, I'll let your whole family drink the northwest wind!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, my subordinates really don't dare! Thank you, Steward, thank you, Steward! Zhou Run held the lost and recovered merit card, made a thousand thanks, and the distance between him and Zheng Kejun was inadvertently shortened a lot.

Zheng Kejun is proficient in the way of control, and after making a joke, he is no longer two. quickly put away his smile and solemnly advised, "It's not that the enemy is the first, our hundred cavalry divisions are just ordered to solve hidden dangers for the saints, not to be enemies of the Manchu Dynasty." Moreover, the main purpose of letting Wu Qiu and Wu Dong brothers infiltrate the Zhang family this time was not to monitor Young Eunuch Zhang, but to provide him with personal protection. This point, before you arrange for Wu Qiu and Wu Dong to go to Young Eunuch Zhang, you must explain it clearly to the two brothers. Don't let the two brothers be greedy for merit and mislead the priorities and ruin the name of the Hundred Riders! ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will definitely arrange it in advance!" Zhou Run was shocked when he heard this, and quickly put away the reward card and the smile on his face, and then solemnly surrendered his hand.

"How is Young Eunuch Zhang's injuries?" Nodding at him with satisfaction, Zheng Kejun continued to ask, the concern on his face was not the slightest fake.

"Penetrating wounds, it's winter again, it shouldn't be fatal!" Zhou Run, the captain of the Hundred Cavalry Division, was very capable, and immediately made a summary statement about what he had observed during the day, "But there was a lot of blood, and it is estimated that it will not be ten days and half a month, so I can't slow down my vitality." ”

"Monk damn it!" Zheng Kejun frowned, cursed in a deep voice, and then quickly asked: "How is Zhang Shaojian's skills, Wu Qiu and Wu Dong brothers, have you reported to you?" ”

"Skilled?" Zhou Run grinned, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Wu Qiu and Wu Dong have reported, but the conclusion is a little disrespectful to Zhang Shaojian. ”

"Even if you talk about it, why don't you respect the Fa?" Zheng Kejun immediately became interested and encouraged with a smile.

"Dare to let the chief manager know that Wu Qiu and Wu Dong were originally about to rush to the road today, but they were hit by Zhang Shaojian's carriage to attract his attention. Then, with his skills in cooking and cooking, he went to his house to be a cook. Unexpectedly, the monks took the lead and launched an assassination of Zhang Shaojian at the city gate...... "I didn't dare to hide anything, Zhou Run sorted out his thoughts and began to tell the experience and observations of the martial brothers from beginning to end.

"I know this, just pick it up, I don't have to explain the specific process!" Zheng Kejun was anxious to hear this, and urged in a low voice with a smile.

"Yes!" Zhou Run gave up his order, and the following narrative became obviously brief, "The two brothers didn't have weapons at hand, so they could only squat on the side of the road like ordinary people at first. According to the observation of the two of them, Zhang Shaojian has obviously practiced martial arts, and his ability cannot be considered bad. If it is a martial arts competition, even if the two of them go together, in front of Zhang Shaojian, they will not be able to last too long. But ......"

I'm afraid that because I talk too much, I will get into trouble for myself. After a pause, he quickly added: "However, the two of them said that if they fought with their lives, any one of them could kill Young Eunuch Zhang." However, this is only for the recent past, and it is difficult to say in the future! ”

"What do you mean?" was confused by Zhou Run's words, Zheng Kejun frowned and asked.

"When his subordinates rushed over, Young Eunuch Zhang's side actually had the upper hand completely!" Zhou Run's temperament was extremely cautious, and he quickly explained before giving an answer with a smile, "What the martial brothers mean is that Zhang Shaojian's skills are all practiced in the martial arts arena, and he lacks actual combat!" Therefore, it is only suitable for martial arts, not for fighting. If it weren't for the group of monks who couldn't attack the law, they forced out the ruthlessness in his bones. After he killed the first monk, the other party had at least seven or eight ways to let him die without a place to be buried. ”

"Did he kill a monk on the spot?" Zheng Kejun's brows jumped again, and the question suddenly became higher.

"According to the samurai brothers, it was their own hands. And, after killing the first monk, he immediately lost his soul! Thanks to the loyalty of that Wang Maobo, otherwise, he would definitely die in the hands of other monks today! Zhou Run thought about it and nodded seriously.

"I'll just say, he's only in his early twenties, how can he be more lethal than a veteran of a hundred battles, and he slaughtered half of the White Horse Temple by himself?" Zheng Kejun finally got the information he needed, compared it with another homicide, and pouted with a smile. "It's a shame that the case is no longer under the control of Jingzhao Mansion, otherwise, those blind people will definitely come up with an unjust case!"

"The people of Jingzhao Mansion have always been like this, they do things intuitively, and then bend into a move!" Because of the partial overlap of power, the Baiqi Division and Jingzhao Mansion have been disdainful of each other for a long time, so Zhou Run decisively helped Zheng Kejun!

How could a battlefield chick who killed the enemy in a face-to-face battle and would be overwhelmed by blood and gas, how could he break into the White Horse Temple alone in the middle of the night and kill most of the monks inside? If he wasn't beaten to death on the spot by the monks, I'm afraid it would have been a miracle?

Therefore, the case of the White Horse Temple cannot be done by Zhang Shaojian. He doesn't have that ability at all! And Jingzhao Mansion is biting him to the death, which is really stupid!

"Thanks to Young Eunuch Zhang, he is not a small common man, otherwise, if it falls into their hands, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die this time!" Zheng Kejun felt that he couldn't enjoy stepping on it, so he added another sentence before he was willing to turn the conversation back to the topic, "Do you have any other discoveries?" What about the monks, in addition to the ones they confessed themselves, the excuse of bullshit "except for the Demon Guardian Dao", did they leak other horses? ”

"That Wang Maobo under Zhang Shaojian has very good martial arts. If he hadn't been in the daytime, the result might have been a whole other story! Zhou Run thought about it, and first picked up the situation he was sure to report. According to the subordinate's investigation, this person is ......"

However, Zheng Kejun was very uninterested in Wang Maobo's identity, shook his head, and quickly interrupted: "You don't have to worry about him, I have already sent someone to check him." He also has a younger brother named Wang Maozhong, who was sold into slavery by the government a few years ago because of a big disaster. This person is now under the command of the king of Linzi, and it is said that he is very favored. ”

"My subordinates understand, thank you for the reminder!" Zhou Runleng paused, took half a step back, and saluted gratefully.

The Hundred Riders are extremely powerful and know a lot of things, but they also have a lot of trouble if they accidentally get into trouble. Therefore, among the Hundred Cavalry Division, an unwritten rule has long been formed, resolutely not to meddle in disputes within the royal family. lest once you make a mistake in standing in line, you will be liquidated later, and there will be no place to bury you.

And since Wang Mao Zhong has become the henchman and servant of Li Longji, the king of Linzi, and the smart man in the Hundred Cavalry Division, he should no longer stare at his brother Wang Mao Bo. Otherwise, once Wang Mao Zhong takes shit luck one day and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, he will be retaliated against, but not only a few people from the Baiqi Division!

"You're a smart guy and you know how to measure!" Seeing that Zhou Run was thorough, Zheng Kejun praised with satisfaction.

"It's the manager who cultivates it well!" Zhou Run smiled and bowed his hand, and then continued to report: "The monks came prepared, and they were killed because they heard that the White Horse Temple was washed in blood by Young Eunuch Zhang, and they were filled with righteous indignation, so they wanted to eliminate the demon and defend the way, and they were not instructed by anyone." The assassination case, except for the Xinfeng White Horse Zhaojue Temple where they are located, has nothing to do with other monks. However, his subordinates found Vajrasan in the bags of the five monks who led the team! ”

"Vajrasan?" Zheng Kejun's pupils constricted, and two cold lights instantly appeared in his eyes.

As the leader of the Hundred Cavalry Division, he is no stranger to the three words Vajrasan. It was a strange poison from the Western Regions, but it was also a powerful elixir.

After taking this medicine, it can make people feel more alert, and the flexibility and strength of the limbs are greatly increased. It is even said that it can help long-term users to practice the incorruptible body of Vajra.

At the same time, the drug is extremely addictive. If the supply is suddenly cut off after taking it for a period of time, it will make the user unable to survive or die.

Therefore, some extremely ambitious monks and religious madmen in history have liked to use Vajrayasan to create and control the dead. Among them, the most famous is the "Gao Tansheng" in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, taking advantage of the opportunity to confess (do things) for the officials of Huairong County, this person took back to the Eight King Kongs to directly kill the official and rebel, and became one of the 36 roads of smoke and dust!

After the Tang Dynasty dominated the world, it deliberately elevated Taoism. One of the main reasons is to know what it would be like for those monks with compassionate faces to go crazy!

It's just that this far-sighted national policy of the Tang Dynasty ended without a problem after Wu Zetian ascended the throne.

At that time, in order to suppress the Li family, Wu Zetian actually lifted the Buddha Gate with his own hands! With the proliferation of monks and monasteries, Vajra Sansan and Vajra naturally reappeared in the world.

Although Wu Zetian was in his later years, he had realized the danger of the overflow of monks, and killed many "senior monks" who had bad intentions. However, Buddhism has formed a trend that will not be lost, and its influence is difficult to remove from the imperial court and local officials.

Now, the queens and princesses, like Wu Zetian, are "very sincere in worshiping the Buddha", and they lack the extraordinary control that the "Great Sage Empress Zetian" has, if a second Gao Tansheng appears at this moment and has accumulated strength for many years......

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Zheng Kejun shivered, and the cold hairs on his body stood upside down.

"The five monks who took the lead, their faces and skin, were all waxy yellow." Zhou Run's voice suddenly continued, very low, but when it fell on Zheng Kejun's ears, it was like thunder, "So, the subordinates have already locked the two fierce monks who were captured against the wall with iron chains. And it is forbidden for anyone to bring them outside food. If the subordinates judged correctly, within two days, they would inevitably become addicted. ...... then"

"Not enough, far from enough! You go right away and transfer them to death row in the Hundred Knights. No one is allowed to have contact with them except our brothers. Unless, unless someone comes with the permission of the Holy One, and, and the letter of the Ministry of Punishment, or the warrant of the Dali Temple, go, go! Zheng Kejun pushed Zhou Run hard and quickly interrupted. His voice was hoarse and anxious, as if there was a fire burning fiercely in his throat!

"Zijuan, pour me a glass of water." His throat felt as if it was on fire, and Zhang Qian struggled to raise his head and whispered to the room outside.

No one answered his call, and he was frightened and lost his soul, and he cried all night long, probably from exhaustion and deep sleep. And out of habit, there is no third person living in the main house for her and Zhang Qian.

"Zijuan, Zijuan......" called softly twice, but still did not get a response. Zhang Qian grinned bitterly and began to try to get out of bed and find water to drink.

The wound on his left leg immediately felt like a knife. He lost his strength in an instant, fell heavily on the bed, gritted his teeth and gasped one after another.

It hurts, it really hurts. From the wound, along the tail vertebrae, one sprang up to the top of the head.

The pain made people sweat uncontrollably, and the muscles on their faces twitched constantly.

But thankfully, the place where the feather arrow hit at that time was the outside of the left leg. If it is replaced by the inner side and offset by half an inch, Zhang Qian estimates that he will be able to talk to Gao Yanfu, the general of the prison gate, about inheriting this person's mantle.

"However, although Lao Gao is a eunuch, he doesn't have any weird smell on his body, and he doesn't have a sissy in his speech and demeanor." Deliberately very unkind in his mind, comparing Gao Yanfu's appearance when he was young with Thai specialties, Zhang Qian finally succeeded in diverting his attention from the wound, and then lay on the bed in an extremely embarrassed posture, waiting for the pain nerves to numb themselves.

To put it bluntly, this method is self-deception and may not have any effect. However, in the absence of safe painkillers, and when he was unwilling to follow Sun Anzu's advice and try to use aconitine to relieve pain, it was better than nothing.

Thinking of Sun Anzu's suggestion, Zhang Qian's mind quickly appeared again The scene where the old man came to help him clean and stitch up his wounds with alcohol this afternoon, and at the same time, the expression of crying and laughing also appeared on his face.

Mr. Sun is worthy of being born in a family of divine doctors, and his spirit of exploration of medical Tao is admirable. In just a few months, he practiced the wound suturing technique he had learned from Zhang Qian. In addition, he also invented a number of appliances such as arc needles, silk threads, and limb fixing racks, which improved the speed and quality of wound suturing several times.

It's just that the expression written on Sun Laozi's face when he stitched up the wound made Zhang Qian really a little flattering. Every time he recalled, Zhang Qian felt that his grandfather used his thighs as a pair of boots or a cloak.

The old man himself, on the other hand, was an experienced tailor who not only knew how to weave holes in boots or cloaks, but also knew how to embroider a flower or a few mountains and rivers on the repaired parts to cover up the fact that the "boots" had been broken, and to add a bit of artistic beauty to the damaged places.

"Forget it, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing!" After a few minutes, feeling that the stinging pain in the wound had weakened, Zhang Qian struggled out of bed again, dragging his painful and numb left leg to find the teapot.

However, after grabbing the water cup and turning around the room for a small half, he found that he didn't know where the teapot was, and couldn't help but lean his body against the table, and shook his head with a wry smile again.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult, this is not my deception! It's only been a few months since you came to Datang? Zhang is actually used to being served. If this one day Zijuan plays a petty role and resigns......

Glancing weakly towards the outhouse, he saw a small thin bulge under the quilt on the bed opposite, with the help of the dim light. In an instant, I felt a lot more grounded.

However, a familiar smell of alcohol quietly wafted into his nostrils, making his brow quickly wrinkle again.

The wound on the thigh was re-cleaned by Sun Anzu in the afternoon. And after cleaning and stitching, it was bandaged with a clean kudzu cloth, and it stands to reason that the taste of alcohol should not be so "new". And now, the smell of alcohol in the air has just evaporated, and the time must not exceed a quarter of an hour!

Dealing with alcohol every day, and having personally prepared many liquors with different degrees of natural flavors, Zhang Qian is very sensitive to the taste changes after the volatilization of alcohol. And it is impossible for Zijuan to drink secretly, and it is impossible to let the better-tasting chrysanthemum not drink, but secretly drink the seventy-five degree alcohol with sulfur added.

Pretending that he was unaware, he continued to hold the cup in one hand and the table with the other, and slowly moved his body towards the bed, one step, two steps, three steps, closer, closer, hanging on the wall next to the bed, the sword specially designed to decorate and ward off evil spirits, was already within reach.

However, before he could stretch out his right hand, behind him, a voice that he never wanted to hear in his life sounded, "Don't draw your sword, you are not my opponent." What's more, you have a leg injury at the moment and have difficulty moving! ”

"Burglary in the middle of the night is not the work of the ink man!" Zhang Qian responded disdainfully, but decisively chose to give up. Turning his head, he sneered at the speaker.

The person who came was Luo Huaizu, and when Zhang Qian heard the first word that this person said, he judged his identity. And the latter, too, knew that it was pointless to continue to hide his head and tail, so he simply took off the mask on his face, took the iron scale rod of the head token of the Mo family, and gently arched his hand: "Hurry up to power, burglary, of course, it is against the rules of the Mo family, but in the world, except for the arsenal, the weapons supervisor and your family, Luo can't think of where else to find the fourth gunpowder!" ”

"The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Doctor's Office, the Shuo Fang Army! There are many places where there is gunpowder. Zhang Qian used words to distract the other party's thoughts, and at the same time quickly pondered in his mind how to escape from the house before the other party hit him, and called the family to come to help.

"Those places are heavily guarded, and I can't get in!" Luo Huaizu was also single, lightly knocked on the table with a weighing rod, and responded in a low voice, "It's convenient for you, and you are also a child of the Mo family, and I take your things, which can be regarded as communicating with each other." ”

"You're hurt?" Zhang Qian keenly noticed that this person had been controlling the weighing rod with his left hand, and smiled, and his confidence in escaping from the clutches of the devil increased greatly.

"I got an arrow in my back, but even with one hand, I can still beat you, a young man who has never killed anyone." Luo Huaizu had obviously been to the scene of the assassination case, and he could see Zhang Qian's expression at that time clearly. Smiled and added very confidently.

"How did you get hurt?" Zhang Qian pretended to be curious and asked in a low voice, while slowly charging up his right leg and right arm.

"The monk of the White Horse Temple, bullying your doorstep. You can bear it, but our Mo family can't be bullied by others like this. Luo Huaizu glanced at him with a sneer, and replied concisely. So, I took the time to go and collected some interest by the way. ”

"Qin Mo and Qi Mo have been separated for more than a thousand years! And I want to take revenge, I have my own way, I don't need to resort to the hands of others. Zhang Qian had already guessed that the tragedy of the White Horse Temple must be inseparable from Luo Huaizu, so he didn't feel too surprised. Continue to distract the other person with words, usually in your mind, and plan the best way to get out.

Throwing a cup with his left hand, even if he can't hit Luo Huaizu, he can smash this person in a hurry. Then jump over the bed and roll out into the outhouse, kicking the door with your right leg.

With Luo Huaizu's appearance of pretending to be a decent gentleman, he shouldn't be able to do anything to take Zijuan as a hostage. And as long as you can escape to the yard, shout a few voices. The family and the guys can rush to the rescue, and with the absolute numerical advantage, they can capture or drive away Luo Huaizu, an uninvited guest......

The plan was flawless, but unfortunately, before Zhang Qian could put the plan in his mind into practice, Luo Huaizu had already raised the "scale pole" high and directly sealed the door of the house.

"It's too slow, and your solution may not work!" Slowly taking half a step towards the door, this person sneered and shook his head again and again: "Senior Brother Zhang, I advise you not to waste your efforts, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses!" At the moment, near your home, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring. In the middle of the night, I suddenly appeared at your house, and the two of us were in the same house. If I am arrested by the government because of the murder case, you say that this case has nothing to do with you, who would dare to believe it?! ”
