"How did you know I was coming to clear the void?" Zhou Tong asked.

Before her words fell, Mrs. Jiang's hand had already grasped the short knife hidden in her sleeve.

Zhou Tong's decision to come to Qingxuguan was made yesterday, and only a few people knew.

What is this Xu Shiji, Mrs. Jiang doesn't know, and she hasn't heard Zhou Tong say it, she only knows that as long as there is a suspicion about this Xu Shiji, then she will stab it with a knife.

Xu Shiji sighed and said: "This Qingxu Guan, we have been staring at it for a while, and the old Dao named Qingjing that the county lord saw before is my person. This time, when I learned that the prince was going south, I originally wanted to come to Qingxu to watch it first, and then go to Jiaoyang to ask to see the county lord. But when I arrived at Qingxuguan, I found that the situation here was far more complicated than the information we got before, and at this time, I heard that the prince did not go to Jiaoyang, but came to Qingxu.

The prince summoned officials from the yamen at all levels in Jiaoyang to come to Qingxu, but he left those officials outside, and those officials did not suffer from this kind of suffering, and quietly asked the restaurant in the town to send food over, three meals a day, without hiding it from the county lord, and the guy who came to deliver the food was my person. Yesterday a girl asked someone about the void, and I found out. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by eunuchs and guards, and the only female dependents are the county lord, so that girl can only be someone from the county lord's side. Early this morning, the county lord came out of the official post, and someone hurriedly whipped up and handed over the news. ”

Xu Shiji saluted again: "Xu is brave and asks the county lord to forgive his sins." ”

The smoke on the side was already crying without tears.

Yesterday, she looked around for someone to inquire about the customs of Qingxu Town, and thought that people didn't know who she was, but she didn't know that even the affairs of Qingxu Town were deliberately told to her.

She slapped herself in the head, but her face didn't change.

Mr. Fang is so right, she just reads too little and thinks she is very smart, but in fact, in front of people who know how to strat, she is not even smart.

It's just clever.

Zhou Tong laughed: "I want to come to that delicious cake, twenty taels and one box of spices, which your people deliberately told me, and also, this is what the girl's family is interested in." ”

Xu Shiji's face was ashamed: "It is Xu's fault to bring the girl to such a Taoist temple, but Xu really wants to inform the county lord about the things in this Taoist temple." ”

At this time, the big man from before came in with tea, and Fang Fei saw that the big man's paws were black and thick, so she hurriedly took the tea tray and held it to Zhou Tong with her own hands.

The big man rubbed his hands and stood aside, his face a little embarrassed.

A small hand reached out in front of him, and in his hand was a beautiful box.

"This is a balm for wiping your hands, your hands should be well maintained, this balm is made by me, a box of silver or two." Fang Fei whispered.

Dahan took the balm with one hand, and with the other hand involuntarily reached into his arms, took out a tael of silver and handed it to Fang Fei.

Fang Fei tossed the silver and caught it, and put it in her purse.

Yancui inhaled from the sidelines, after all, she was the one who took a stake in the shop.

Over there, Xu Shiji was talking about the Qingxuan view one by one.

"This Qingxuguan is indeed famous, the reason why it is famous is not that the gods here are spiritual, but because the Qingxuguan has more than 1,000 acres of medicinal fields, and there are medicinal herb shops within a radius of hundreds of miles. I have thousands of people under my command, and there must be no shortage of medicinal materials, so every year, in addition to buying medicine at the medicinal material shop, I will also come to Qingxuguan to procure, and I have come every year, and I have been back and forth for seven or eight years.

About a year ago, I sent people out again to procure medicinal herbs, and this time, they also came to Qingxuguan. However, it was found that the Zhiming Taoist who was in charge of selling medicinal materials in Qingxu Guan had died, and now the person in charge of this was a young Taoist priest, only about twenty, and his name was different from that of ordinary Taoist priests, and they all called him Gengjiu.

In addition to the dead Zhiming Taoist, there are also a few familiar Taoists who are also gone, and it is said that they are also vulgar.

What makes my people feel even more strange is that the errands that these Taoists were originally responsible for have also been replaced, and the people who replaced them are all young Taoists who are all Yishui.

Taoist priests do not have as many rules and precepts as monks, just like this Qingxuguan, Taoist priests rent medicinal fields to tenants, and then sell medicinal herbs to pharmacies, making a lot of money from it. Qingxuguan has a history of 1,000 years, dating back to before the two dynasties. Therefore, the Taoist priests here are the most senior, just like this fat child who sells medicine, he must be controlled by Taoist priests with a background and relationship in the Taoist temple, and the youngest of these Taoist priests is also in their thirties, such as the Zhiming Taoist before, who is already fifty miles away.

In this pure emptiness, there has never been a precedent for a young Taoist to hold an important position.

Therefore, my people suspect that the Zhiming Dao people have been killed, and with this doubt, they will pay a little more attention to the Qingxu Concept, and this attention does not matter, and they will find that this place is very different from before.

When they came back, they told me, and I asked Zhang Wenjing to pretend to be a Taoist priest from Youfang and live in Qingxuguan. ”

Zhou Tong knew that whether it was a temple or a Taoist temple, there would be a special place for pilgrims to live, and if it was a monk or Taoist priest from the traveling side, he could live here for a long time, and he didn't even have to pay for food.

"Zhang Wenjing is the old Taoist named Qingjing?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Yes, he was a ranger when he was young, and he had some names in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts were good. Later, he got into a life lawsuit and hid in Qingshi Mountain as a bandit, so he followed me. When he was young, he traveled all over the world, worked as a fake monk, and also served as a fake Taoist priest, so I picked him and pretended to be a down-and-out Taoist priest to clear the void and place orders. Xu Shiji explained.

"You go on." Zhou Tong said.

According to Zhang Wenjing's observation, since last year, several groups of people have come to Qingxuguan, these people are dressed as laymen when they come, and they only combed their hair and changed their robes after entering the Taoist temple, and some of them gave themselves Taoist names, and some simply used some strange names, such as the Gengjiu mentioned earlier, and Geng Shi and Bingba are similar to this. In addition to the medicinal herb business that maintains the livelihood of the Taoist temple, the Taoist priests here actually have little contact with outsiders, for example, in the past, the Taoist priests of the Qingxuan Temple would do things, and sometimes they would go to hunt ghosts for real and fake, but now, the Taoist priests here no longer accept this kind of business. ”
