Mu Qing was blocking the gate of the courtyard opposite, and when he saw the money coming in and out, he stepped forward and saluted: "Qianhu, there is no movement in this courtyard......"

"No movement? Shouldn't it all be in there? You go to the back door and keep an eye on me as soon as someone comes out. ”

"Yes!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Bin and Ge Yun led a hundred soldiers to run over with neat steps, stood still in front of Qian Jin, and said in unison: "I have seen a thousand households. ”

"It's all exempt." As soon as Qian Jin waved his hand, all the soldiers dispersed, and the water around this courtyard was blocked. Immediately afterwards, he instructed Li Bin: "Go knock on the door, and if you don't open the door, you will unload the door for me." ”

"Yes!"

Li Bin knocked on the door for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement, he decisively led a few soldiers to kick the door open. The soldiers swarmed in.

Surprisingly, there was no one in the courtyard.

Qian Jin probed in the courtyard for a while and gently pushed open the door of a study. The furnishings inside are simple, only an antique bookcase against the wall is still eye-catching. He gently blew the thick dust on the bookcase, and took a random copy and flipped through it.

The books are all new. The people who live in this courtyard are probably using these books as a façade, or they are disguised for identity.

After a while, Li Bin and Ge Yun entered the study and said, "Qianhu, I have investigated all over the courtyard, but I have found nothing. ”

"Is there any movement at the back door?"

Mu Qing shook his head and stepped forward and said, "Xia Guan has already asked the neighbors, and no one has gone out of this courtyard just now. ”

"Nobody out? Can you still grow wings and fly? Qian Jin was a little displeased. I thought there would be a major discovery today, but I gathered so many people, but I didn't even hit a single hair.

Li Bin pondered for a while and said, "Could it be...... Tunnel? ”

Qian Jin thought about it for a while, and felt that what Li Bin said was reasonable, so he instructed everyone: "Give me a careful investigation of whether there are any organs in the courtyard." ”

The soldiers were ordered to scatter in all directions, and in a short time they turned the courtyard upside down, but still found nothing.

When he was depressed, a little yellow dog appeared at the door, and when he saw Qian Jin wagging his tail, he didn't dare to step forward because he was afraid of the big-headed soldiers around him. This dog was picked up by Xiao Lizi from outside, and he was served by big bones every day, and now he has grown a little bigger. At first it was hostile to Qian Jin, losing two flesh and bones, but now it is much more docile.

Qian Jin thought about it for a while and thought about it. He summoned Xiao Huang in and took him around the study.

Yellow is a typical pastoral dog and has not been trained in tracking. At first, it thought that Qian Jin was going to play with him, so it was very cooperative to circle around his legs and wagging his tail vigorously.

Qian Jin shook his head, and said in his heart that he was still too demanding of it. Just when he was no longer hopeful, Xiao Huang's nose sniffed, as if he had found something, and then walked to the edge of the bookcase and sniffed, barking wildly.

The crowd was overjoyed, and in a few clicks they removed the bookcase, revealing a secret door. Mu Qing stepped forward and kicked suddenly, only to see sawdust flying sideways, and the secret door shattered into four or five pieces in response.

Xiao Huang took the lead and deftly drilled into the hole along the secret door, and after a while, its "excited" cry came from the depths of the door. Li Bin and Mu Qing glanced at each other, opened the doorway, and also got into it one after the other, and after a while, they turned around and shouted: "Qianhu, there is no world in it." "The cave is full of them

Qian Jin was overjoyed, bent down through the doorway, walked a stone staircase, and the inside suddenly opened up—it was actually a hall.

The hall was chaotic. The chairs and boxes were flipped to the floor at random, and it was evident that the people in this room were in a hurry when they left; There were also some small yellow croakers (gold) scattered everywhere on the ground.

The corners of Qian Jin's mouth rose slightly. These little yellow croakers were thrown to the ground, apparently a delaying ploy by those who had escaped, in order to make their own people scramble.

"Thousands of households, this hall is not big, and there is nothing." Li Bin stepped forward and said.

Qian Jin glanced in the hall, and his eyes were attracted by a cross-legged clay fetal Buddha statue against the wall of the hall. He stepped forward to take a look, turned back and asked, "Do any of you know which sect believes in Amitabha?" ”

"Thousands of households, the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi believes in Amitabha." Ge Yun replied.

"Doesn't the White Lotus Sect believe in the White Lotus Holy Mother?"

"Back to a thousand households, this Amitabha Buddha is an immeasurable Buddha who is revered by the White Lotus Sect. Most of the parishioners are organized in the form of lotus houses, and there are many parishioners in the northwest region, so it is called the 'White Lotus Sect'. ”

Qian Jin nodded. This White Lotus had also heard of it when he was in his previous life, and it was extremely evil. After being bewitched, the common people believed in the Pure Land of Bliss in the next life, and fought without fear of death.

Today, he made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to come to his doorstep. If it weren't for my unintentional bump today, I was afraid that it would be a disaster.

No wonder on the night when the men in black attacked the courtyard at night, they were able to silently touch the courtyard to launch a sneak attack. After the Great Purge, they are still lurking here, and their hearts are suspicious. It's just that what does Princess Jing have to do with the White Lotus Sect? Why is she here? And did the Great Dharma Protector who had fought with him live in this courtyard?

At this moment, a soldier accidentally touched the Amitabha Buddha, and an extremely distant voice came from behind the Buddha statue.

"And the tunnels?" Qian Jinqi said.

Several soldiers carefully removed the Buddha statue, and a secret passage just large enough for one person to pass through appeared. The earth on the walls of the cave is still fresh, and it is clear that this secret passage has not been opened for long. It's just that when it comes to breaking ground, where does the excavated soil go?

Li Bin and Mu Qing lit the fire fold, and entered the cave one after the other, and the embroidered spring knives in their hands were all out of the sheath. The crowd was silent, for fear of startling the enemy hidden in the cave.

After the tea, they came back with a heavy heart. Seeing Qian Jin asking, both of them shook their heads.

"Out of the way. The discovery of a den of the White Lotus Sect today is also a great achievement. Also, this courtyard is the master of thousands of households, so let's use it for the brothers to rest. After a pause, Qian Jin looked at the small yellow croakers scattered on the ground, and said with a smile: "The people of the White Lotus Sect are good to us, and even the silver taels for us to live have been prepared." Ge Yun, these golden words will be handed over to you to dispose of, and go buy some household items. ”

"Yes." Ge Yun said happily. Today, he went to Qian and came, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. He didn't know what Qian Jin was like. Judging from this matter, the new Shangguan treats his subordinates well.

"Let's all go up." Qian Jin commanded.

After a while, only Qian Jin, Li Bin, and Mu Qing were left in the underground hall.

"What's wrong with it?" Qian Jin turned around and asked.

"Thousands of households, Xia Guan only walked more than ten zhang and discovered a big secret. The secret passage behind this Buddha statue is actually connected to another secret passage. Li Bin thought for a while and said, "Xiaguan remembered a rumor that there was a secret passage in the palace that led directly to the outside of the city. It can't be this one, right? ”

Qian Jin heard this, and his mouth opened open.

This courtyard is located due south, not far from the city wall. Not surprisingly, the people of the White Lotus Sect should have escaped from this secret passage. If it is really as Li Bin said, this secret passage leads directly outside the city, then it will be a big deal. You must know that the capital is impregnable, and if the enemy unknowingly kills into the city from the secret passage, those high-walled towers will be useless. Moreover, his own courtyard is opposite, and if the enemy kills through this secret passage, his family will bear the brunt.

"Plug this place first. You two will go in again in the evening and check to see if it leads to the outside of the city. Qian Jin instructed: "First gather the brothers together and open a winery." ”

"Yes!" The two replied in unison.

Half an hour later, the courtyard was tidied up. The generals who were having breakfast in Chunfeng Tower had already received news from Ge Yun, and they all rushed to the courtyard.

When many neighbors heard the movement here, they all went out to watch, and many people thought that Qian Shijiao was going to raid his house again today.

Qian Jin didn't explain much, and after gathering the three hundred leading soldiers, he divided them into three columns and marched towards Wanping County, and the whole distance was all run.

The three battalions have always been the main force defending Gyeonggi. These big-headed soldiers were already a little arrogant, and when they saw Qian Jin dressed as a scholar, they thought that the new boss was easy to bully. Along the way, many soldiers whispered, and their eyes moved on Qian Jin's back from time to time.

Qian Jin didn't make a sound, and ran at the front of the line alone.

At first, the generals still had leisure to enjoy the scenery on the roadside. After three quarters of an hour, many of the soldiers were out of breath. Looking at Qian Jin again, the breath is calm and the pace is steady. Although the big-headed soldiers were not convinced, their strength was there, so they put away a little contempt.

There is a winery that is less than half an hour away from the capital.

Wu Ju, the acting shopkeeper of the wine shop, has a good look in his eyes. He saw a wave of people coming from a distance, and when he got closer, he realized that it was his shopkeeper who had come, so he trotted out of the winery to greet him.

"Master, what kind of wind blew you here today?" Wu Ju greeted him with a smile, and when he saw the team behind Qian Jin clearly, he frowned and said, "Master, who are these people?" ”

"They're all my subordinates." Qian Jin stopped his pace and said calmly: "Is there still blended wine in our winery?" Move a jar out. ”

"Okay, let's go and prepare."

Qian Jin turned around and shouted at the soldiers who were panting, "Stand up for me." It's only been so much to run so much, and you're still out of the three battalions. ”

After a period of confusion, the three hundred soldiers stood in formation, although they were still a little untidy, but they could barely see it. Wu Ju called someone to carry a large vat of wine over and put it in the open space in front of the wine shop.

Qian Jin and the other soldiers stopped talking, panting evenly, and said, "Everyone must already know my identity, so I won't talk about it today." The only thing that needs to be clarified, if nothing else in my Thousand Households, is that you need to remember the only thing: unconditional and absolute obedience to my orders, or you will be expelled. ”
