"What?"

"Go down!" As if I had said something wonderful, I clapped my hands and made an excited expression, "My third sister-in-law told me that a hundred snakes, scorpions, centipedes and other poisonous things can be refined into a Gu worm." The Gu worms are dried and ground into powder, and put them in the tea soup that people eat, which can be said to be unaware. Once you fall into the Gu, it really makes you live and die, and if you want to live, it is better to die...... Hehehe. ”

Marseille was so white with a smile from my face, "Really...... Target? ”

"My third sister-in-law has a mantra: How can people not get sick if they eat whole grains? It is not uncommon for a careless person to die of illness. ”

"I don't pay attention...... Sick to death? ”

"Therefore, my third brother's eight-room concubine is really obedient to the third sister-in-law, and no one dares to make a mistake."

"Eight...... Eight-room concubine? ”

"Yes! And among his many confidantes in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, none of them dared to ask for a name. ”

"Crowd...... Many confidants? ”

"And a few of the little guys in the South Wind Pavilion all said......"

"Say no more!" Marseille roared out of control, and on a pale face, two big round eyes clearly wrote the four big words "incredible".

"I ...... I want to be quiet. ”

Seeing that the Marseille race was chased by a dog and disappeared in an instant, the girl clapped her hands with satisfaction: Victory, retreat!

Finding Qin Lang in the backyard of the Taoist temple, I felt the need to talk to him, so I said with a serious face: "Just now, Miss Ma asked you about your family situation, and I told her 'truthfully'. ”

Qin Lang was slightly surprised: "You recruited yourself?" ”

"What are you kidding, I'm your fourth brother Bai Lan." I winked at him slyly, "You should always remember that you have a wife and eight concubines in the Bai family, and the main wife is from Miaojiang, who is good at Gu, in addition to a few confidantes, and a few good friends." ”

Qin Lang's forehead immediately jumped, and said with a wry smile: "You have arranged me, and it is really an endless stream of renovations." ”

Without the harassment of Marseillaise, it would be much easier for us to investigate the hypocrisy. Taixuguan is built by the mountain, the area is quite large, I don't know whether the incense is strong or the business of selling the pit flag is quite good, and it is also a look of no shortage of money.

It's a pity that we have been inquiring for a long time, both openly and secretly, but we still haven't found the place where the pit flag is sold.

Going around and around, out of the back door of the Taoist temple, we went around the north mountain behind the Taoist temple for a long time, and found two huge caves that seemed to be able to accommodate people, both sides were dug to enter and exit the passage, but there was no one.

When we came out of the cave, it was almost dusk, but we were sadly surprised to find that we were lost.

Considering that it was getting dark, and it was really not a good thing to get lost in the mountains, Qin Lang took me to the bottom of the mountain to find the direction, but the road became more and more difficult.

As he was hesitating, he happened to see a few Taoist priests not far away, walking up from the bottom of the mountain.

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said to a fat Taoist priest in the lead, "Daoist, please, our two brothers accidentally got lost, where can I go down the mountain?" ”

The fat Taoist priest looked me up and down a few times, with some inexplicable vigilance in his eyes, probably finally felt that my slender appearance was not a threat, so he stretched out his hand and pointed: "From that road, it's getting late, the donor should go down the mountain as soon as possible." ”

I bowed to him, "Thank you, Chief." ”

The fat Taoist priest folded his hands a little absentmindedly: "Amitabha." ”

After that, he led the other Taoist priests to leave in a hurry, leaving me stunned in place.

Amitabha? I glanced back at their distant figures, and said to Qin Lang in confusion: "He...... Isn't it a Taoist priest? ”

If I remember correctly, the Taoist mantra should be my master's well-known phrase "the longevity Buddha of your grandmother", of course, it is more elegant to remove the middle four words.

"Not necessarily." Qin Lang narrowed his eyes, "Don't you see that the few in the middle are dressed as women?" ”

I suddenly said, "You're really discerning." He reached out and pinched his waist again, "Let you see other girls again!" ”

Sensing that something was wrong, Qin Lang and I simply gave up our plan to go down the mountain, secretly followed those fake Taoist priests, and returned to Taixuguan all the way.

In the night, the two of us leaned on the roof, looking at the backyard of Taixuguan, a group of Taoist priests unscrupulously drinking wine and eating meat. And several women dressed as Taoist priests before had already changed into light saro skirts, and they were laughing with the Taoist priests with heavy makeup.

I frowned, watching the night banquet in the courtyard escalate from drinking with fists to taking off clothes, and the scene became more and more obscene.

When a fat black Taoist priest took advantage of the wine to tear off the Taoist robe on his body, revealing the tattoos on his back, I suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar.

It was so far away that I had to lean forward, trying to get a better look at the man.

But I suddenly heard Qin Lang beside him say leisurely: "I forgot, hello to this mouthful." ”

"Which bite?" I was confused for a moment, and then realized that he was referring to me and him visiting Zhang's house at night, squatting under Miss Zhang's window and listening to what was happening in the corner.

"I ...... How's that! My face immediately turned red into a boiled shrimp, and I turned my face to his playful eyes, and forced myself to justify: "I just think: now Taoism has degenerated to this extent, it is really the world is declining!" ”

Qin Lang looked at the Taoist priest who was drinking and secretly shook his head.

It was already the third watch when I returned to the Ping'an Hou Mansion, but fortunately, the porter was a very discerning person, and he recognized the "quasi-aunt" Qin Lang, so he let us in without saying a word.

In the dead of night, the two of us glanced at each other, and then we tacitly touched the study of Ping'an Hou.

Unexpectedly, the light was still on in the study, so we squatted in the dark and continued to listen to the great cause in the corner.

Through the gap in the window, I saw a man in a black robe standing opposite Ping'an Hou, putting a stack of silver tickets on the bookcase, and arching his hand: "Hou Ye, business has been in a depression recently, and there is not much income. ”

The voice is somewhat familiar.

Ping'an Hou glanced at the silver ticket on the table, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the prince arrived in Yangzhou a few days ago, no matter where he comes from in public or private, it is always a hidden worry, and it is better for you to restrain for a few days." ”

The man nodded yes, thought about it and took out a colorful thing from his arms: "Master Hou, this purse...... It was the little bitch who asked me to bring it, saying that she sewed it for you with her own hands, and said...... I miss you and want to come and say hello to you in person. ”

Ping'an Hou glanced at the purse coldly, and his tone was a little unkind, "You go back and tell her that now is the time for her to make trouble." After thinking about it, he slowed down his tone a little, "That's it, she didn't do a bad errand a few days ago...... So go to the butler Ma Fu, and bring back the gold-encrusted comb to her, and say...... Ben Hou was also very concerned about her, so he went to see her when he was free. ”

Seeing Ping'an Hou's lukewarm attitude towards Yun Yu, the man put away his purse and said with a smile: "Master Hou, bitches have never been ruthless and unrighteous. Subordinates from Jinling to Yangzhou, Qinglou Oiran is also better than a few, these girls, which is not in the face of you to dig out your heart and lungs, turn your face to other men and laugh and complain, to them, why bother. ”

He thought that his explanation was very clever, but after hearing this, Ping'an Hou frowned, and his tone became more and more low: "Yun Yu, call Ben Hou a godfather." ”

As soon as this remark came out, not only the people in the house, but also I was very surprised when I listened to the corner of the wall: I thought that Yun Yu was just a dusty woman, and it was a last resort to do the facts for the lake bandits, but I didn't expect that there was a big backer behind her!

The people in the house obviously realized that they had upset Ping'anhou, and hurriedly hugged their fists and said: "My subordinates are rude, and I will definitely take good care of Miss Yunyu in the future." Seeing that Ping'an Hou still looked indifferent, he said embarrassedly: "When this batch of silver is gathered, my subordinates will escort the ship back to Jinling as soon as possible and return to the lord." ”

"I'm in a hurry to go back to Jinling," Ping'an Hou laughed dryly, "You want to go home, right?" Afraid that the daughter-in-law of the family will run away with the wild man? ”

Listening to Hou Ye's joke, the man hurriedly followed a few times, "Let Hou Ye laugh." ”

After that, he hugged his fists goodbye to Ping'an Hou and turned around.

With a leopard's head and ringed eyes, a black face and a beard, and a fierce appearance, which one is not Yan Ye?

The experience of this night proved that listening to the corners in the dead of night is a very effective means of investigation and evidence collection.

"Yan Ye, as the leader of the lake bandits, wants to pay tribute to the Marquis of Ping'an."

In Qin Lang's room, I lowered my voice and said my guess, "Before, we thought that the boss of the lake bandits was He Kui, the prefect of Yangzhou, but now it seems that we underestimated them, and Ping'an Hou is the ultimate monster behind the lake bandits!" ”

"Big ...... What the? Qin Lang was a little puzzled, but he was already surprised by the fresh words that popped up from time to time in my mouth, "He also mentioned that he wanted to transport the silver to Jinling, does it mean that they also have backers in Jinling?" ”

I nodded, thinking to myself that these lake bandits are really big, no wonder they can do evil in Gaoyou Lake unscrupulously.

It's just that who will be their backers in the imperial capital?

Seeing that I was stunned, Qin Lang thought I was sleepy, and raised his hand and tapped on my forehead, "Don't think about it, let's go to sleep first." ”

"Oh." Only then did I come to my senses, "You should rest earlier, too." ”

"Early tomorrow morning, after I went to see the Marquis of Ping'an, we will leave the Hou Mansion."

"See Ping'an?" I didn't react for a moment, "What do you see him doing?" ”

Qin Lang bent his lips and smiled, and naturally hugged my waist, "Carrying an inexplicable marriage contract, my beloved girl is soaked in the vinegar jar all day long, I really can't bear it." ”

Only then did I recall that he still had to resign from the marriage, "Who is jealous, I don't have ......"

However, judging from the fact that I didn't come to trouble Qin Lang after going to Marseille to "quietly" alone today, my arrangement was quite effective.

But he gently pressed the bridge of his nose against my forehead: "I am very happy that you care about me like this, and I am happy if you are jealous." ”
