Chapter 7: The Secret of the Prime Minister's House
On the main street of Leeren Fong.
A Captain of the Demon Hunting Division ran over and whispered to Jing Liang.
Jing Liang's face changed slightly, and only after the captain left did he say to Tang Yun: "The results of the autopsy have come out, and the dead is Ding Sen, the head of the Jin Wuwei gang, who sent someone to imprison the Tai Sui Gang yesterday. The head of the head of the Xiangye Mansion, the head of the Wuhou shop, tortured this Ding Sen, and he already had wounds in his internal organs, and this kind of injury was not well healed, so he could only wait for death slowly. ”
"Which steward of the Xiangye Mansion is it, have you found out?" Tang Yun asked.
Jing Liang shook his head: "This one isn't yet." ”
"Send someone to investigate, and why the steward cares so much about this Jin Wuwei team leader, all find out."
"Yes!"
……
Xu Shou asked a few colleagues to pack Ding Sen's body in a burlap bag. Several Wuhou wanted to help Xu Shou, but he refused.
Xu Shou found a wheelbarrow and put Ding Sen's body on it.
He pushed the wheelbarrow to the door of Dinson's house, he and Dinson grew up together since childhood, and they were naturally clear about Dinson's family background.
Dingsen's family is not wealthy, and it can even be said that it is poor. Timson's father died early, and he lived with an old mother.
His mother was old and in bad spirits, so she usually stayed at home on weekdays. Ding Sen invited a lot of miracle doctors in the divine capital, but there was no way. He had no choice but to let his mother follow him all the time, but he was never married.
There is no girl who wants to marry the old lady who takes care of him.
Xu Shou stopped in front of a small dilapidated courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, the mud paint on the walls had long since fallen off and had not been repaired for a long time. A tree was planted in front of the small courtyard, but it was also listless, and its branches hung down to the ground, and the branches were dead and desolate, and it was very depressed.
Xu Shou hesitated for a moment and didn't push the cart in directly. He opened the wooden door, and with a creak, he stepped into the courtyard. The whole yard was filled with a lot of miscellaneous debris, many of which were useless waste products from the people in the workshop, and Dinson collected them.
Generally speaking, these things are no longer useful, and even if they can be sold, they will only get a drop in the bucket. But for Tinson, the slightest bit counts.
"Son, are you back?"
An old woman with gray hair came out of the room, her eyes shining with excitement.
She ran out, circled around Xu Shou, and suddenly frowned and said, "Son, why have you become fat, your beard is gone." ”
Xu Shou knew that this was the recurrence of Ding Sen's old illness. She mistook Xu Shou for her son.
It's good to save a lot of tongue. Xu Shou took advantage of the steps and said, "Yes, mother, I shaved my beard." ”
Mrs. Ding Sen spread her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's good, it's more energetic." ”
Da Zhou men generally grow beards, but since Xu Shou came back from the dead, his beard began to fall off, and every morning when he woke up to the bronze mirror, the appearance on his face was a little strange, so he simply shaved off all his beards. Even his hair is starting to fall out, though he usually wears a steel helmet that is not noticeable from the outside.
When Xu Shou woke up, he found a lot of strange things, and he felt that he had also changed.
As for Dinson's wife, she just thinks that her son has shaved his beard, which is more like when he was a child.
Xu Shou chatted with Mrs. Ding Sen for a while, then walked to the kitchen, prepared dinner, and fed Mrs. Ding Sen bite by bite.
After eating, Xu Shou put away the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Mother, you are strolling around the yard to eliminate food, I am busy when I go out." ”
Mrs. Ding Sen nodded, Xu Shou walked out, pushed the cart away, and walked to a righteous village in the workshop. The coffin containing the corpse is temporarily stored here for burial when the time is right.
"It's Jin Wuwei's military master, Wuhou Pu has already greeted here today." There was a steward in Yizhuang, and when he saw this, he beckoned his men to come and help carry it.
A coffin was docked in one place, and the man took Tinson's body out of the sack and placed it in the coffin, and the coffin lid was slowly closed.
"Give my brother a burial, I'll pay for it."
"No need, a street envoy has come today, and he has already paid the money."
Xu Shou was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then walked out of Yizhuang. He was pushing a wheelbarrow very conspicuously, but the Wuhou who was patrolling back and forth recognized him and knew that the gang leader had died a brother today, and he was in a very bad mood, so he didn't bother.
Xu Shou didn't go home, he parked the wheelbarrow and walked in the darkness by himself.
There is no one around, and there is no moon tonight.
The gods under the curfew were shrouded in darkness, and only a few places were lit up sporadically. Except for the lights that Wuhou had mastered by patrolling back and forth, there was nothing else.
Late at night, it's a good time to walk at night.
Xu Shou pulled out a black cloth from his pocket, covered his face, and followed the route in his memory, all the way north.
Lirenfang is located in the southeasternmost part of the Shendu by the Yongtong Gate, while Li Xiangfu is in Shangshanfang, located outside the imperial city.
It's a long journey, and the best way is to wait until tomorrow morning, when he is ambushed at Shangshanfang. But at this moment there was anger in his heart, and this anger burned in his heart, and he could not calm down.
Xu Shou climbed over the wall, leaned against the wall, and walked on the road.
When passing through Chongrangfang, the attraction coming from inside became stronger and stronger. But he didn't dare to go again, and that night he sneaked into a mansion and was almost caught, and the other party was clearly on guard, and going there was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.
Xu Shou moves quickly, not like a human.
He didn't know why he was able to walk so fast, but he felt that his mind was clear, and his body would follow his heart.
He attributed all this to his resurrection from the dead, maybe it was really his soul that went to the underworld, and it was contaminated with a trace of the immortal aura of ghosts and immortals.
He didn't notice that his eyes had turned red and there was a cold glow under the night sky.
Xu Shou was lucky that he avoided Wuhou who was patrolling on the road, and no one noticed him.
There was a wild cat in the dark night, and when he saw Xu Shou, he barked, but Xu Shou glanced at it, seemed to be frightened, and turned around and jumped into the darkness.
Li Wancheng's mansion is huge.
As the two chief officials of Wenchangtai, that is, the former dynasty Shangshu Province, Li Wancheng also served as the prime minister of the Great Zhou, and he was really above 10,000 people under one person.
There are many signs in the mansion that show the noble status of the owner, not to mention the luxurious front door, which has been given by the empress. The whole mansion is lined with courtyards, which are built in the style of Gangnam Province, and a small stream runs through the entire mansion, with clear springs flowing and green bamboo.
Xu Shou easily climbed into the house, but he made a difficulty.
This mansion is so big that he doesn't know where Li Xiang is.
He came here completely by virtue of a spirit. Ding Sen is his brother, and now that his brother was killed by Li Xiang, he naturally wants to ask for an explanation.
This discussion is naturally not really about confronting Li Yuan. If that's the case, he'll most likely be a corpse in the gutter the next day.
Before he died, Ding Sen told Xu Shou that he had discovered a secret of Li Xiangye.
This secret is absolutely important, and it can make a master embarrassed a little guy and let this guy die to death.
Xu Shou wants to find this secret, and the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, maybe he can find out the sore feet of this prime minister.
Li Xiangfu is very well defended.
In Xu Shou's eyes, he can see many scenes that ordinary people can't see. If it is a living person, there will be a peculiar light in his eyes.
Along the way, he found three night watchmen, Xu Shou knocked them unconscious, and when he reached the third person, he clamped the man's neck with his hand and put it in his ear and said, "Where is Li Xiangye?" ”
The night watchman trembled, but most of the people who could be the guardians of Xiangye's Mansion were the elites of the various armies. He didn't speak, but he was thinking about how to get rid of Xu Shou's restraint in his heart.
Xu Shou saw his thoughts, and with a wave of his palm, he directly knocked him out.
Xu Shou no longer hoped to know something from these people's mouths, maybe what they said was more likely to be a trap.
Xu Shou quickly found a courtyard, which was different from other places, and there were more guards guarding it.
Many maids came in and out of this courtyard with a basket in their hands. Obviously, there is a noble person dining here. No matter which noble person in the house knows how to talk about it, tonight is worth the trip.
Xu Shou made up his mind and quietly climbed up a willow branch. The branches of the willow tree are soft and drooping. Xu Shou grabbed the branch of the willow tree and jumped to the roof.
The roof is a brick structure, and Xu Shou puts his feet very lightly, and he needs to pause for a long time every step.
He uncovered a brick and tile, revealing the structure of the wooden frame. Throughout the main hall, a strange smell wafted out.
In the house, there was a burst of laughter, like a crazy person laughing non-stop.
Xu Shou's eyes widened, and he saw a scene he had never seen before. This scene should not have happened, but it really appeared in front of him at this moment.
In this room, it was very spacious, with a few tables and some meals scattered on the floor.
Several men dressed in white paced back and forth in the room, all on their tiptoes, their eyes dazed, and their faces with strange smiles, and the strange laughter came from their mouths.
On the table, a few pills were placed.
A man took out the elixir with a trembling hand and put it in his mouth, and he closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing.
Suddenly, his whole body began to spasm, and his whole body shivered, and then he became fluttering, his steps were light, and his face was intoxicated.
"Flying immortals into the void, bringing friends into the nine heavens. Haha, hurry, hurry! ”
A man began to drink, and the wine was still piping hot, just hot, but he picked it up and poured it into his mouth.
"It's cold, it's cold! Yes! Yes! ”
Some people are wrapped in a thick quilt in the middle of summer, and they are still cold.
The more these people swallowed the pill, the first they became intoxicated, and then they were in pain. Everywhere there were screams and high-pitched roars, one after another.
Xu Shou shuddered, and this time his hand accidentally slipped, and the bricks and tiles were directly released from his hand.
Crash!
A loud voice came from the rooftop.
