Volume 32 Chapter 18 Tongtian Cult
Just over two hours later, at the end of a remote alley in a residential area east of Youzhou City, Zhang Tie once again saw the young thief who had stolen his money.
At the time of Zhang Tie's arrival, although the sky was still windy and snowy, within a hundred meters of this alley, including the walls and rooftops, there were already dense tortures in the Tingwei Temple wearing black uniforms, carrying crossbows and sabers, as if they were black and impermanent.
"Let those people standing on the roofs and walls come down, don't scare people for the New Year!" Before walking into the alley, Zhang Tie instructed the people around him lightly.
Listening to Zhang Tie's words, the people around him just made a gesture, and the torturers of Youzhou City who were standing on the eaves of the roof disappeared one by one.
Following Zhang Tie waved his hand was an old man, between his eyebrows was as strict as iron, his eyebrows were a little angry, and his face was not smiling, this old man was the Tingwei Cheng of Tingwei Temple in Youzhou, equivalent to Zhang Tie's deputy, when Zhang Tie was not in Tingwei Temple, that is, this Tingwei Cheng was in charge of Tingwei Temple.
Tingwei Cheng of Youzhou Tingwei Temple is no stranger to Zhang Tie, the two of them have known each other as early as Huaiyuan County, that time, Zhang Tie became a knight for the first time after returning to the old house of the Zhang family, and happened to meet the old man's eldest lady birthday, because of the relationship between the daughters of the Wang family, several unscrupulous sons of the Zhang family also made some dirty things in the birthday banquet.
The position of the chief lawyer in Huaiyuantang is the family's criminal law and justice, and Huaiyuantang asked Zhang Yuanshan to be the Tingwei Cheng of Tingwei Temple, for Zhang Tie. It just complements each other perfectly.
Compared with Zhang Tie, Zhang Yuanshan has experience in criminal law and justice. There is also the kind of cold and capable ability that comes out of the Huaiyuan Hall Criminal Law Pavilion, which is the best supplement to Zhang Tie.
Earl Changfeng is very good at arranging people. When Zhang Tie was no longer in Youzhou City, Zhang Yuanshan presided over the Tingwei Temple, and everything was in order, and there was no chaos in the entire Youzhou and within the scope of the Tingwei Temple's responsibilities.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tie was particularly angry at Tuntang's sinister impeachment.
In this alley, there are some debris from the residential area. Those sundries, are some chicken coops, honeycomb coal piles and broken boxes and other things, and other places, no matter how good Taixia is, no matter how big Youzhou City is, in this city, there are also poor and rich, and some people's residences can be splendid, pavilions. Some people's families can only be crammed into a house of a few tens of square meters in an ordinary residential area - here, that is, the latter kind of people gather.
In a big city like Youzhou City, not everywhere there are flowers and sunshine, in those places where there are no flowers and less sunshine. There are people who are also surviving.
Falling snowflakes covered the debris in the alley, piling up almost a foot high.
The ground of the alley was a little dirty, and it was the snow that had melted from the footsteps of countless people. On the snow that has not completely melted, you can even see the clear lines on the soles of the leopard head combat boots worn by the Youzhou prisoners......
Those footprints left on the snow. is also silently telling, before Zhang Tie came here. How many executioners have entered this alley?
Even the residents of the nearby residential area did not expect that in this unblinking place, one day there would be so many wolf-like executions of the three divisions of the yamen. No matter what continent you are on, if you can do well in this profession, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a few people who can make people look and feel amiable, and how can such people be able to suppress petty treachery and bullies and murderers.
On this snowy day, the arresters of Tingwei Temple in Youzhou City appeared here, just like black vultures, always with some ominous aura that made ordinary people daunted, and the people in the nearby residential areas, at this time, all the families pulled up the curtains, and some of them dared to look quietly behind the curtains.
Walking to the bottom of the alley and turning a corner, Zhang Tie saw the young man who had only met him in the morning.
The man was lying face down next to a pile of debris in a burlap of burlap like a broken tree root that had been discarded, a layer of snowflakes had accumulated on his body, and the whole person was no longer breathing.
There was no sound around.
Zhang Tie sighed, squatted down in front of the person's body, and turned the person's body over.
It was a young and emaciated face, it looked like it was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and when Zhang Tie turned him over, that face had lost all its blood color, and correspondingly, the clothes on that person's body had a pool of red blood on the heart, because the weather was too cold, the blood on that person's body had been frozen before it even flowed out, so there was not much blood on the ground around that person.
The man's eyes were still open, staring at the gloomy sky, and there was a look of pain and surprise on his face.
Zhang Tie looked at this face seriously, he didn't expect that this young man who had only met him in the morning would become a cold corpse at this time, just an ordinary crime of stealing, even if he was caught, he would come out after being locked up in prison for a year and a half, and he would have a chance to be a new person, why not, Zhang Tie sighed in his heart.
"This person is called Lu Xiaoshuang, homeless and unemployed, a few years ago, when the Northeast Protectorate decided to build Youzhou City, at that time it was known as a million people into Youzhou, he came with those who built an army and wanted to find opportunities, originally just a beggar, in the city also do some small things to help people run errands and pass the word to eat, two years ago, a ruffian Wang Wu in Youzhou City took him in and taught him the skills of pickpocketing, this Lu Xiaoshuang also followed Wang Wu, and made a living by pickpocketing under Wang Wu, two hours ago, Someone saw Wang Wu and Lu Xiaoshuang walking into this alleyway together, but in the end, only Wang Wu left alone! Zhang Yuanshan introduced the situation from the side below, "That Wang Wu's body was also found in his home, and he had committed suicide by swallowing medicine, in addition to Lu Xiaoshuang, Wang Wu also had seven or eight thieves under his command." Those thieves have all been arrested by Tingwei Temple at the moment, and they are being interrogated at the moment! â
Zhang Tie listened. didn't say anything, just put his hand on Lu Xiaoshuang's face. seemed to want to close Lu Xiaoshuang's eyes.
In the eyes of the people next to him, there was nothing strange about Zhang Tie's movements, it was just an expression of compassion from Lord Tingwei, so Zhang Tie's hand covered Lu Xiaoshuang's head for a few seconds, and it was natural.
No one knew that what Zhang Tie was "seeing" and "hearing" in his mind at the moment was already a different scene.
Zhang Tie lowered his head, as if looking at Lu Xiaoshuang. Naturally, others couldn't see the strange light flashing in Zhang Tie's eyes.
After Zhang Yuanshan finished speaking, Zhang Tie's fingers trembled slightly, and then gently wiped them off, and when Zhang Tie's hand left Lu Xiaoshuang's face, Lu Xiaoshuang had already closed his eyes.
Zhang Tie stood up and sighed again, as if he was in a mood, "Find a place and bury him well." Just use the few gold coins you found to buy a good coffin, and the other thieves don't need to be judged, they are all helpless and poor people. Sent to the Yitang in Youzhou City, let the Yitang take care of and teach, and all Wang Wu's family property was confiscated. All the materials I received were sent to Yitang, and I took out 100,000 gold coins from my money this year. It was also sent to the Yitang in Youzhou City, so that Yitang could pay attention to the homeless teenagers and beggars inside and outside Youzhou City. Make sure that they are no longer used by adulterers and go astray! â
After listening to Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Yuanshan's face turned straight, and he bowed down to greet Zhang Tie, "Your Excellency is benevolent!" â
It can be said that because of Zhang Tie's words today and the donation of the 100,000 gold coins, the homeless teenagers and beggars in Youzhou City will have another way out in the future, 100,000 gold coins are not a small amount, even if this money is only deposited in the zĂ i bank every year, the interest is enough for Youzhou Yitang to adopt and teach thousands of orphans and beggars every year.
The righteous hall of Youzhou City was also officially established and put into operation after the curtain came down with the battle over the history of Youzhou Thorns, and naturally all started from scratch, and there were many places that could not be taken care of.
Zhang Tie smiled, and seemed to have left this "little thing" behind, "Okay, go back, follow me to other places in Youzhou City, and see if there are any places in Youzhou City that need attention, it's the New Year, let the people of Youzhou City have a peaceful year!" â
âŚâŚ
Lord Tingwei wanted to leave here, and a wolf-like torture and three division officials in Tingwei Temple naturally left, and the words that Zhang Tie confessed were naturally executed.
After more than an hour, Zhang Tie really took a cadre of officials and torturers in Tingwei Temple to brave the wind and snow in Youzhou City, although there was no momentum of chickens flying and dogs jumping across the street, but wherever the big people of the Yamen of the Three Divisions of the Three Divisions went, they still made the people in Youzhou City who were waiting for leisure retreat, and did not dare to approach lightly.
That is, within these few hours, Youzhou City before the Chinese New Year experienced a short and fierce "Strike Hard", and in the prison of Tingwei Temple, there were more than 100 city fox society rats and ruffians who usually had a bad reputation. Those people are afraid that they are going to spend the New Year in prison, in front of ordinary people, these people usually act as powerful and lucky, but in front of the torture and arrest of the three divisions and officials, these people are simply better than the cat and mouse, which is not an exaggeration at all.
After turning around Youzhou City, Zhang Tie returned to Tingwei Temple.
Waiting for the others to leave, Zhang Yuanshan came over, and his face was a little more stern, "My lord, today's events are a little strange!" â
Zhang Tie's eyes moved, but the person laughed, and said lightly, "It's really a bit strange, I'm looking for someone here, and someone over there has an accident, it seems that among the three divisions of the Yamen in Youzhou City, someone is showing the wind outside, there are so many people who are spreading the word to the outside at any time, and small things have become big things, you can screen it well after the New Year, although some of the people who do things in this Tingwei Temple are closely related to the people of the three religions and nine streams, but the personnel are too miscellaneous and not good, and those who should be cleared should be cleared!" â
Zhang Yuanshan looked at Zhang Tie's face, as if he wanted to say something, but Zhang Tie had already waved his hand, "This matter will end here, it's the New Year, and don't make everyone have a bad New Year!" â
After listening to Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Yuanshan swallowed the words in his stomach again, and then bowed down to withdraw. As a person who has experienced the world, and in a strict organ like Tingwei Temple, he knows very well what he should say as Zhang Tie's deputy. Do something. There is something strange about this, but Lord Tingwei doesn't seem to want to make it too big during the Chinese New Year. Pursue it further, then. That's it. In the end, it's just two insignificant little people who died.
"By the way, are there any people on duty in Tingwei Temple during the Chinese New Year?" Seeing that Zhang Yuanshan was about to withdraw, Zhang Tie seemed to remember something and asked in a casual tone.
"During the Chinese New Year, the lower officials will be on duty at the Tingwei Temple, and the officials in the other three divisions will also be on duty in shifts."
"That's good, the deacons who entered the Tingwei Temple in Huaiyuan Hall don't go back this time for the New Year, exercise more in the Tingwei Temple, and familiarize yourself with the business in their hands. Now I don't know how many people are staring at our Huaiyuantang, don't let people look at our Huaiyuantang's jokes, such an important institution as Tingwei Temple, as a child of Huaiyuantang, at this time, it is even more necessary to make a little appearance to let people take a look! â
"Yes, I'll arrange it later!" Zhang Tie was right, and Zhang Yuanshan also received the order.
Zhang Tie nodded, and said with some self-deprecation. "I came to Tingwei Temple today and took a turn again, I originally just wanted to see the door of this Tingwei Temple facing south and north again, and also let those who have not seen me see what I look like as Tingwei in Youzhou, so as to save others from chewing their tongues. I didn't expect these bad things to happen, forget it, I'm going back to Jinwu City......"
Zhang Tie dared to let the children of Huaiyuantang's family stay in Tingwei Temple to exercise during the New Year. But no one dared to let Zhang Tie stay in Tingwei Temple to exercise during the New Year, this kind of thing. It is estimated that Zhang Taixuan didn't dare to say it to Zhang Tie.
âŚâŚ
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie got back on the airship. Leaving Youzhou City, all the officials of Tingwei Temple went to see Zhang Tie off.
Lord Tingwei came to this Youzhou City once, and knocked it a little, which not only made the officials in the Tingwei Temple lift their spirits at once, but also made this Youzhou City cleaner before the New Year, there is no doubt that this year's New Year, the cases of losing things at home and outside the home in the entire Youzhou City will definitely be greatly reduced.
Watching Zhang Tie get on the airship and leave, some people in Youzhou City breathed a sigh of relief.
On the airship, Zhang Tie looked at the re-enlarged Youzhou City under his feet, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously tightened.
Although the person below said that his wallet and gold coins were found, and showed it to him, the wallet was real, the gold coins in the wallet were also real, and the quantity was the same, but Zhang Tie knew that those gold coins were not his own gold coins, and the gold coins he marked the trace touch were still somewhere in Youzhou City at the moment.
For such a long time, Lu Xiaoshuang handed over the wallet after touching it, and those gold coins had already been transferred back and forth in other people's hands.
Those people are very efficient and very well organized.
Lu Xiaoshuang has followed Wang Wu for all these years, and he also vaguely knows and sees some things.
Especially before dying......
At that last moment, what Lu Xiaoshuang saw in his eyes was Wang Wu's suddenly hideous face, and then there was a sharp pain in his heart.
Lu Xiaoshuang fell, and the last voice he heard was an unfamiliar voice and the last few words of dialogue Wang Wu said-
"Five days later, we will do something big in Youzhou, at this time, we must not go wrong, that Zhang Mu God is known as the tiger of Youzhou, and he is a new official in office, and he is trying to start a fire, there are many means in the prison of Tingwei Temple, we have to guard against it, and we will wronged you later, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, say it at this time!"
"May the ancestor of Tongtian reign in the world, and the disciple is willing to be the ancestor in the next life, and the boy who sits in front of the ancestor and holds a flower ......" The voice panted heavily, with an inexplicable fanatical atmosphere.
"Okay, I will tell the ancestor, this is the Brain Crushing Pill given by the altar master, and if you take it, you will be relieved without pain......"
"Thank you Zuo Protector, please tell the altar master on behalf of Wang Wu, his old man's golden basin handwashing ceremony on the first day of the new year, Wang Wu can't be present in person to toast his old man's house......"
"Go with confidence......"
In just a few words, Lu Xiaoshuang's consciousness fell into complete darkness with a sense of unwillingness......
Zhang Tie knows that Brain Crushing Pill is a very high-level poison, compared to ordinary poisons, taking Brain Crushing Pill can not only quickly destroy a person's vitality, but also destroy the organizational structure of a person's brain, so that a person's brain is brain dead at the fastest speed, this is the fastest and cleanest way to die, even if you die, it is impossible for people to know anything from your brain.
In the Weiyi subcontinent, the people who use the Brain Crushing Pill are all dead soldiers or spies and the like, and once they are caught, they will use the Brain Crushing Pill for a hundred, and the table of taking the Brain Crushing Pill to commit suicide, and the use of "strong rat poison", unless the brain is dissected, it is difficult for people to tell what the person took to commit suicide.
Therefore, in order to avoid startling the snake, Zhang Tie did not even go to explore Wang Wu's corpse, but made this matter a big ......
Zhang Tie didn't expect that during this trip to Youzhou City, he made an unintentional small move, and he actually let himself get in touch with the people of Tongtian Sect at once, and crashed into the conspiracy of Tongtian Sect.
The so-called major events of the Tongtian Sect are naturally chaos, and by no means anything else.
Zhang Tie didn't know if it was his luck or the bad luck of the Tongtian Sect......
At this time, there must be someone in this Youzhou City who is nervously paying attention to his every move all the time......
Therefore, Zhang Tie simply left generously first, and let those people breathe a sigh of relief first......
However, this Tongtian Sect's control of its subordinate disciples can make people like Wang Wu see death as if they were at home at critical moments, which also made Zhang Tie feel a chill in his heart......
