Chapter Fifty-Nine: Immortal Slang Dao
None of the three people who are suspected of being ugly are ugly, and their faces are not terrible, even if it was really one of them who killed him, he would not show such an expression before he died.
Or is it not these three people, but the murderer is someone else?
"My lord, do you think the murderer could be the one I saw yesterday?" Lu Li looked at Shangguan Yuling, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was serious.
"It shouldn't be," Shangguan Yinling looked at Zhang Yuanwai's stiff face, deducing the scene of his killing in his mind, "Although people died in Baijinglou, we don't have to start from Baijinglou." ”
"What do you mean......"
"Let's go to Zhang's Mansion first."
At this moment, Zhang's mansion can be said to be panicked, his own lord died mysteriously, Zhang Yuanwai's wife and several concubines were heartbroken, and they sat in the main hall with handkerchiefs to hide their faces and cry, and the people were even more frightened, for fear that Zhang Yuanwai had offended some fierce gods and evil people and implicated them.
When a few people walked to Zhang's mansion, there happened to be a few men who looked like Taoist priests at the door to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhang.
Lu Li saw that those Taoist priests didn't look like serious Taoist priests, and their expressions were weird, just looking at the boxes they were carrying, he knew that he had obtained the silver from Mrs. Zhang.
It stands to reason that when a person dies, shouldn't he ask a monk to chant sutras? Why is this Zhang Mansion different from others, instead of inviting monks, inviting Taoist priests?
What's more, these Taoist priests, how do they look like hooligans and bandits.
A few people entered the main hall and saw that white silk had been hung everywhere in Zhang's mansion, although Zhang Yuanwai's body had not been picked up, the coffin in the main hall had already been placed.
"Mrs. Zhang." Shangguan Yinling walked into the main hall and talked with Zhang Yuanwai's wife, "What was wrong with Zhang Yuanwai before he died?" ”
"There is nothing unusual, my late husband and I have a weak relationship, and he has not lived with me for a long time, even if there is anything unusual about him, I will not know," Mrs. Zhang's expression was sad, she lowered her head and hid her face to wipe her tears, "He often lingers in the flower streets and willow alleys, and even the immortal master said that he will die in the past, so let him pay more tribute, he refuses, and now he is really ......."
"The immortal masters in Mrs. Zhang's mouth are those Taoist priests in front of the door?" Shangguan Yinling thought of those strange-looking Taoist priests and couldn't help asking.
"Those few are the children of the immortal master, and they came to the house today to give their ancestors excess, saying that as long as they pay a lot of tribute, their ancestors will definitely be reincarnated into a good family in their next life."
Lu Li couldn't help frowning when he heard Mrs. Zhang say this.
Those Taoist priests were clearly swaggering and deceiving, and this Mrs. Zhang was also willing to believe it, and was willing to be deceived by them like this.
"It seems that these masters really know the past and the future." Shangguan Yinling said, his gaze fell on Mrs. Zhang's face, "I wonder if Mrs. Zhang can tell the Immortal Mansion of the Lower Immortal Master?" I also have some doubts and want to ask the master for a lesson or two. ”
"Naturally." Mrs. Zhang turned around and glanced at her personal maid, and the maid went to get a pen and paper, and after Mrs. Zhang wrote down the specific address, she handed the paper to Shangguan Yinling.
"Thank you, ma'am." Shangguan Yinling took the paper, checked Zhang's mansion again, and then left with Lu Li.
"What do you see wrong?"
"This lady is the biggest mistake." Shangguan Yinling said, lowering his eyes and glancing at the note handed to him by Mrs. Zhang, which said that the so-called immortal master's immortal mansion was written.
Needless to say, this is a bunch of liars.
"Have you ever heard of the fairy slang way?"
Lu Li shook his head.
"Immortal slang Tao is a kind of scam from the north to the south, at the beginning of this kind of slang immortals as worship gods people first arrived in the capital, they are often Taoist priests, claiming to be able to fortune and fortune, many people believe it, so they were cheated out of a lot of money. Later, there was a fire in their dojo, nearly 100 people died tragically in the fire, and then it was resisted by the people, these people had to leave the capital, to deceive in other places, now it seems that this immortal slang Tao should have come to Jingzhou. Shangguan Yuling slowly revealed the source of the Immortal Slang Dao, and couldn't help but be suspicious, "This Immortal Slang Dao is a scam, but what surprised me was why Mrs. Zhang would say that they had calculated that Zhang Yuanwai would die." ”
"My lord means that this matter is inseparable from the Immortal Slang Dao?"
Think about it carefully, Mrs. Zhang did say that Zhang Yuanwai did not believe in those Taoist priests at night, and then died, so it seems that it is very likely that Zhang Yuanwai angered those Taoist priests, and they held a grudge, so they took the opportunity to kill him in Baijinglou.
"It seems so now."
The two of them followed the address to find it, the so-called immortal master's mansion is just a mansion with two gossip plates hanging on the door.
The two walked up to the door and knocked on the door, and the two little boys in Taoist clothes opened the door and looked at the two with puzzled expressions.
"The two believers have come to see the Immortal Master?"
"Exactly."
"Can the two believers bring tribute to the slang immortals?"
The two exchanged glances with each other, and they knew that this little Taoist boy was asking for money, and Shangguan Yuling took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to one of the Taoist boys.
"I went out in a hurry, I didn't bring much silver taels, don't be surprised by the slang immortals."
The two Taoist boys were overjoyed when they saw the silver, and hurriedly invited the two of them in.
The courtyard is full of yellow flags, and the flags are the signs of the fairy slang road, and the two of them walked all the way along the courtyard to the main hall, only to find that a slang fairy was enshrined in the main hall.
It's kind of like this.
The two were taken by Dao Tong to the side hall, and in the side hall, the immortal master was kneeling in front of the slang fairy and chanting a word, and Dao Tong knocked on the door.
"Master, there are devout people to meet you."
As soon as he heard the word "piety", the immortal master got up very diligently, and Shangguan Yuling and Lu Li glanced at each other, expecting that piety or not was measured by the silver taels they took out at the beginning.
"Two believers, what do you want?" The immortal master turned around and saw that it was Shangguan Yinling, so he was so frightened that his hands shook and he sat down on the futon.
"***, I haven't seen you in a few years, and you're still the same."
Lu Xuan wondered, why is this adult still an old acquaintance with the liar?
"Great, sir, I don't dare anymore!" Li Youliang knelt down in a panic, and the two boys also knelt down, and the two of them looked at each other, neither of them knowing what was happening.
"It's not enough to cheat in Dujing and almost lose your life, and now you come to Jingzhou again?" Shangguan Yuling's voice was so fierce that Li Youliang kowtowed again and again.
"My lord, my lord, spare the villain again!"
Listening to this meaning, Li Youliang was investigated by adults when he was in the capital before? In this case, why did you let him go again?
"This official can send you lightly, but you have to inform me in detail of Zhang Yuanwai's death, and you must not hide half a sentence."
"Great, my lord, how did you find out about Zhang Yuanwai?" Hearing Shangguan Yinling say this, Li Youliang was even more panicked.
