Chen Mansion, Water Pavilion.

"In Bianliang City, there are signs of the revival of the White Lotus Sect."

Chen Shou looked at the news from his subordinates and muttered to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, his eyes looking out the window, his brows furrowed.

This White Lotus Sect, which is rooted in the folk, is pervasive and unguardable.

Although they also broke into the palace and even controlled the crown prince, they were not as feared as among the people.

In the imperial city, in the officialdom, they are not visible, it is a taboo, and they will either succeed or be destroyed on the day they show up.

But the people are different, the people of Daqi are in dire straits, and there are heroes everywhere, and this kind of court is the hotbed for the spread of the White Lotus Sect.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao shouted that the sky was dead, and he could destroy the Han Empire.

Great Qi can't be compared to the Han Dynasty at all, this White Lotus Sect is enough to take the empire's life and bring infinite variables.

"Zhang He!"

Zhang He, who was waiting outside the door, pushed the door in, clenched his fists and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

"Send additional manpower, the south from the light, the north from the dark, in Bianliang to investigate the White Lotus Sect."

Zhang He retreated in response and was stopped by Chen Shou: "Wait a minute." ”

"Your Excellency?"

"Catch one, interrogate him strictly, and be sure to find out the contact person behind him. This thing is interlocking, and they must have their own hierarchical context when they act so carefully. I want to go along with the vine, not catch one or two disciples. ”

Zhang He nodded, walked out quickly, walked down the water pavilion, and ordered the two pro-soldiers to go to the South Ya and the North Division separately to give orders.

On the side of the Jinshui Bridge in Bianliang, on a teahouse, two middle-aged people are sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

A team of people escorted the two prisoners across, and the people gave way to hide, and it is common for people to be arrested on the streets these days.

These people may be their neighbors on weekdays, and they can't see the slightest abnormality, but after being arrested, everyone knows that they actually believe in the White Lotus Sect.

A cold snort came from upstairs: "Chen Shou's eagle dogs, there are really more and more." ”

The person who spoke looked gloomy, but he was very neat with his beard, and he was dressed as a scribe, but unfortunately he couldn't hide the fierceness in his eyes, especially from the corner of his eyes to the bridge of his nose, a faint scar, which made him look a little terrifying.

The person opposite him, who was white-skinned and dignified, frowned slightly when he heard this, nodded, shook his head again, and sighed softly.

"Brother Liu, what are you hesitating about, Enxiang was stabbed to death by him in Daqing Palace, although Chen Shou claimed to be the crown prince Zhao Zhe's person who did it, but no one in the world knew that this was done by Chen Shou. The reason why no one has exposed it is just that they are afraid of his power. Now that there is a chance to put him to death and avenge his kindness, what is there to hesitate about. ”

The scribe surnamed Liu was a little frightened, waved his hand again and again, and said in a low voice: "Liang Ji, be quiet, you have not been in Bianliang for a long time, where do you know that it is powerful." In Bianliang City, there are Chen Shou's spies everywhere, and they will be arrested when they say something, how many do you know? ”

The people of Bianliang only know that Chen Shou's spies are everywhere, but they don't know that they are all purposeful, and the old people of the Wei Party naturally keep a close eye on them, as for ordinary people drinking tea in the teahouse, even if Chen Shou has more spies, it is impossible to send people to inquire about what people say. Let's not talk about whether it is useful or not, just sifting through this information is enough to exhaust people to death.

The common people don't think about these, what they like most is to add some elements of gods and ghosts to a legendary story, at least it is very noticeable to brag, and it seems that they know a lot. It is rumored that the news that Chen Shou is clairvoyant has come out.

The scarface man named Liang Ji was obviously a little afraid, his voice was lowered, but his tone was still stubborn: "I was afraid of wolves and tigers, I was afraid of cowers, what big things can I do." You and I are Wei Xiang's protégés, if it weren't for his old man, how could I have today's status. After the death of Wei Xiang, the two Huai were completely chaotic, some advocated forbearance and waiting, some advocated a tooth for a tooth, and some township sages and gentry even wanted to use the two Huai as a stepping stone to merge into the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Liu Pei pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's ridiculous, then the Southern Tang Dynasty is in a safe corner, the plaything is demoralized, to put it mildly, Daqi is now riddled with diseases, so Nantang is not as good as Daqi." ”

"That's right, so our adults are determined to cooperate with that person, and when the world is in chaos, it is where you and I come into play, and cleaning up Chen Shou is just incidental."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up with excitement, and his companion palpitated a little.

"I'll think again."

"Hey, whatever you want, come to me anytime you figure it out."

"Where do you live?"

"This matter is absolutely not allowed to be said, but you and I have a deep friendship, and we are both protégés of Wei Xiang, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Liang Ji stood up, leaned into Liu Pei's ear across the table, and whispered, "The Horse Duwei Dynasty is in the Longfu." ”

Liu Pei's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "That one too..."

Liang Ji smiled smugly and said, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. ”

Liangzhou, Drunken Moon Building.

Since Chen Shou took back the perfume business, Zuiyue Lou's income has decreased a lot, and Su Li hated it so much that the roots of her teeth itched, but there was no way.

Now the little cubs of Qin Fengying's camp have the support of the General's Mansion behind them, and no one in Liangzhou can help them.

The courtyard is as usual, the lights are shining, the hairpins are staggered, and the warblers and swallows are shuttling.

"Yo, the two masters are going well, let's play another day." Su Lihuazhi, who was wrapped in a Hunan skirt, sent away a group of guests tremblingly, and gently twisted the snake's waist back to her room.

Su Li's residence is far away from the girls in the hall, and the interior of the house is also beautiful, with a few tea bowls and vases on both sides of the door, a three-legged incense burner on the carved incense case, a round table with yellow flowers and four high-backed chairs with silver and red flower chairs, and a Su embroidered fan screen stands under the agate red curtain in the middle, and the carved embroidery bed with a pink curtain is faintly visible.

As soon as he came in, before he could sit down, his eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he waved his hand and shot a throwing knife on the bed.

"You're alert." The voice on the bed was not in a hurry, it should have been easily dodged, and the curtain was lifted, and a man with a wooden white mask came out.

Su Li lifted her skirt and knelt down, her hands were stamped on her chest, her face was solemn, and she said respectfully: "My subordinates see the sect leader." ”

The mask on the man's face was as eerie as the White Lotus Sect Leader who committed suicide in Hedong.

He didn't let Su Li get up, and said condescendingly: "Let you come to Liangzhou to develop, after so many years, how many believers have you developed?" ”

Su Li was frightened and shocked in his heart, his tone was a little afraid, and he said on the ground: "Sect Master, the General's Mansion's control over Liangzhou is too strict, and it has won the hearts of the people. Most of the men have military experience, and if they are not careful, they will be uprooted..."

"Alright, you don't have to say any more."

Su Li's legs trembled with fright, and the sect leader walked slowly to the window, looked at the two small buildings that were half-built in the backyard, and said softly: "Your drunken moon building is much bigger, it seems that you can't develop believers, but it's okay to make money." ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, ask the master for forgiveness."

"Do you and Chen Shou have some friendship?"

Su Li hurriedly said: "I have had business cooperation, and I have been cheated by him for a lot of money." ”

"It's more or less an acquaintance, it's decided from above, you are doing nothing in Liangzhou, so don't continue to stay here. You go to Bianliang, reopen the Zuiyue Tower, and wait for orders. ”

"Subordinates obey."

Su Li's round buttocks were facing the sky, lying on the ground, waiting for a long time without moving, secretly raised his head and took a look, only to know that the sect leader had already left.

She stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief on her chest, her back already wet.

After changing into clean clothes, Su Li came outside and gathered several stewards of Zuiyue Building.

"We're moving soon."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and a mother-in-law asked: "Mom, why do you want to go to Bianliang if it is so prosperous in Liangzhou." ”

"You stay in Liangzhou and continue to do business here, I personally take people to Bianliang, and the more money you make, the better."

As soon as they heard that they had left the Zuiyue Building that could master Liangzhou, several stewards were moved, and they looked at Su Li with burning eyes.

"You bring me the accounts, and I'll take a look."

A steward respectfully took out an account book, Su Li flipped through it a few times, and already had a number in his heart.

Over the years, all the money she earned has been handed over to the Holy Sect, but fortunately, it hasn't been paid this month. In just one month, there were 5,000 taels of income, and it was said that Fengyuelou was a gold cave, and it was really not bad at all.

On weekdays, the man who buckles the noose may have to bargain with the store for a drink or two, but here he is generous. was praised by the girls, and it was even more impossible to find the north in the clouds, and there were not a few bankrupt families.

With this money, it should be no problem to bring a few popular girls and newcomers, rent a store in Bianliang, and take care of the government.

"When is Mommy going to leave?"

"Tomorrow!"

Xue Shao, the popular flower of the Zuiyue Building, lives on the second floor, the boudoir is very clean, but the layout is luxurious, there are seven or eight pieces of antique jade on a purple ancient shelf against the wall, there are dozens of delicate yellow and delicate Buddha's hands in the blue and white plate on the side, and the lake Luo mantle tent with scarlet gold thread is hung on the east step bed.

On the dressing table on the west side, there is a gilt bronze mirror with a height of more than two feet and polished with mercury and tin.

"Miss, you are so beautiful!" The maid in a red Luo shirt praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Dead girl, it's sweet for you." Xue Shao said with a smile.

She is the top brand of Zuiyue Building, and she does not pick up guests in the building on weekdays, but is a frequent visitor to the homes of Liangzhou dignitaries, known as a must for singing and dancing.

Such a character should be the forbidden body of the most powerful people in the local area, but unfortunately Li Wei and Li Xin are not good women, and they will never bring the Qinglou woman into the door.

The upward and downward effects, the old handsome man is like this, and others dare not be in the limelight.

Su Li also waited for the day when she made a lot of money, so she waited for the price to sell and did not make a move.

There was a sudden knock on the door, Xiao Lian went over to open the door, and saw that it was Su Li who came in person, and said gratefully: "I've seen my mother." ”

Su Li crossed her, entered the room, looked at Xue Shao, and said with a smile: "Daughter, you also clean up, and we will go to Bianliang tomorrow." ”

"To Bianliang?" Xue Shao asked puzzledly, "What are you doing in Bianliang?" ”

"Mom is going to open a drunken moon building in Bianliang, after all, this is a small border land, and Mom is afraid that it will delay you."

Xue Shao knew that this was pure hypocrisy, but he sold himself to Zuiyue Tower, just like duckweed, he had no choice.

She lowered her head lightly and said, "My daughter knows." ”
