Chapter 286: Chasing the Truth and Visiting the West Lake (Part I)
At that moment, Su Mengzhen frowned, lowered his head and coughed repeatedly, and he couldn't think of anything to say for a moment.
Chen Sheng glanced back at the marshal's father and son, and saw Yue Fei's brows tightly locked, and his face was full of displeasure. It was immediately clear to me. opened his mouth and said: "Master Su Lou, Master Lei." You don't have to argue. This is Yue's Mansion, Marshal Yue lives here, and he won't go anywhere. Before the thirteen murderers were exterminated, Chen, as a subordinate of the marshal, naturally had to be protected. Therefore, it is not too late to join the matter of joining the Golden Wind Drizzle Building or the Six and a Half Hall, so it is not too late to talk about it after the thirteen murderers are subdued. However, Chen has always had limited energy. Why don't you ask the Golden Wind Drizzle Building and the Liufenbantang to each send some masters to live in the surrounding mansions and work together to protect Marshal Yue, how about it? ”
Lei Zhen and Su Mengzhen each glanced at each other, and nodded slowly to each other. Lei Zhen took the lead and said, "Okay." Then, starting tomorrow, Lei Dongtian, the second hall master of the sixth and a half halls, will lead one hundred of our elite disciples to enter Yong'anli. Unless the imperial army attacked, no one could hurt Marshal Yue. ”
Su Mengzhen coughed twice more, and said slowly: "Shangguan Zhongshen, the god of the five directions of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, will also bring a hundred disciples to Yong'anli tomorrow." Shangguan Youyun was also an old subordinate of the old general Zongze in the past, and with this love for the robe, Marshal Yue should rest assured. ”
The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth flashed with a smile, and he clasped his fists and said, "Then Chen Mou thanked the two on behalf of Marshal Yue." ”
Lei Zhen laughed dryly twice again and said, "It's easy to say." It's getting late. We don't need to disturb Marshal Yue's rest anymore, and the hall master will leave. Brother Chen, if he is free in the future, he might as well come to the six-and-a-half hall for a walk. The door of our hall will always be open for friends on the rivers and lakes. When he had finished speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and leaped into the night sky with a light skill, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Su Mengzhen did not leave immediately. He folded his hands behind his back and looked up at the back of the head of the six-and-a-half-hall hall, his gaze became deep and misty, and it was difficult for anyone to guess what was going on in his heart. After a long time, he finally sighed leisurely, and then walked away, but instead of going out, he walked to the side of the flower-clothed monk, the master of the six-and-a-half-hall and eight halls, turned the body over, and reached out to press his chest, as if to examine the injury.
Although Su Mengzhen was bent on chasing and killing Hua Wuxian and Yu Speechless two traitors first, as the top master in the world, he naturally kept his eyes on the six roads and listened to all directions. The flower-clothed monk of the eight-hall master of the six-and-a-half-point hall did not die under the red-sleeved knife, but suddenly fell to the ground and died violently as if he was in a demon.
Witnessing such a strange thing with his own eyes, Su Mengzhen would not let it go easily. Now that I have time, of course, I have to go over and find out. He stretched out his hand and rubbed it a few times, and found that the monk in Huayi had no scars on his appearance, but several meridians in his heart were all broken and broken.
As the master of the first floor, Su Mengzhen's heart is as careful as a hair is a basic requirement. He hadn't forgotten what had happened just a few hours ago, but he hadn't forgotten it so quickly. After thinking about it for a while, and connecting all kinds of clues with each other, my chest was immediately clear. He slowly stood up and said, "I see. The person Xiao Fei met on the Zhuangyuan Tower during the day was Brother Chen. ”
There is no need to hide such a trivial matter. Chen Sheng nodded and said, "It's Chen." Thanks to Brother Ling, otherwise Chen would not have been able to arrive in time tonight. Then Marshal Yue's mansion may be really dangerous. ”
Su Mengzhen frowned and said: "Over the past few days, Su has ordered the people in the building to closely monitor the people entering and leaving the city gates in Lin'an City, and if there is any suspicious person, he will report it immediately." I didn't expect to find nothing, but now they were unknowingly touched to Marshal Yue's mansion. Hey, if it is said that the thirteen murderers have no internal response in Lin'an City, Su is the first to believe it. ”
Chen Sheng sighed: "There are always some people who regard the struggle for power and profit as more important than resisting foreign aggression. Ridiculous, lamentable. However, the owner of the Su Mansion does not have to blame himself for this. No matter how cunning the fox is, there will always be a day when the tail will be exposed. Tonight they will not steal the chickens, but they will eat the rice. With these people as clues, it must not be too difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
Su Mengzhen nodded and said, "What Brother Chen said is true. Hey, it's worthy of 'clearing the clouds and fog and paving the way of blood'. Now you have paved the way with the corpses of the thirteen murderers, so that we can gradually get closer to the truth behind the fog. Albeit...... The truth is always unpleasant. After a pause, he waved his hand as well. Outside the gate of Yue's Mansion, a man with half a dark face, half a white and tender face, and a very strange look immediately walked in. He bowed respectfully to Su Mengzhen and said, "The teacher is worthy of being here, please command." ”
Su Mengzhen's cronies, except for the five gods, are "innocent and shameless, no mistakes and no words". In addition, there are two long-term entourage, Camellia and Wolf. The man with a yin and yang face in front of him is a worthy teacher.
But listening to Su Mengzhen's habitual cough, he whispered: "No shame, collect the corpses of these brothers and bury them well." Their families are also paid bereavement benefits as usual. Mother-in-law Douzi and the monk in flowery clothes, even the coffin will be returned to the six-and-a-half-point hall. Other than that. The corpses of those men in black are the thirteen murderers. Send them back to the building, and let Yang Wuxian take a good look, maybe he can find some clues. ”
The division is worthy of the awe-inspiring order. Su Mengzhen raised his head and said, "Brother Chen, if you want to talk about the details of the world's intelligence collection, Su Mou thinks that he has nothing to do with the white building of my Golden Wind Drizzle Building. Yang Wuxie, the head of the White Mansion, is more familiar with the affairs of the world's martial arts. So if you want to find out about the mastermind behind the thirteen murderers, you might as well come to the mansion as a guest, how about it? ”
Chen Sheng groaned slightly, and then arched his hand and said, "Then it's bothering." ”
――――
Sun Tzu said: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "It's not difficult to know yourself, but it's not easy to know your opponent. Therefore, since ancient times, any organization has spent a lot of effort to establish its own intelligence network and collect as much and more detailed information as possible. In this way, you will be able to know in advance when there is a conflict with other organizations.
Of course, Su Mengzhen understands this truth. Therefore, he established the "White Building" in the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, which served as an important place for collecting materials, gathering intelligence, and then analyzing them. At the same time, Yang Wuxian was appointed as the head of the building. This person is young and handsome, with elegant manners and courtesy, which can easily make people feel good. Although he is a person in the rivers and lakes, almost no one has seen Yang Wuxian take action in person. The level of his martial arts is like a fog, which is difficult to guess. However, even if he doesn't know any martial arts, he is still the most indispensable person in the Golden Wind Drizzle Building. Su Mengzhen once said that Yang Wuxian is equivalent to his eyes and mouth. Although this statement is also a slight exaggeration, it is not far from the truth.
The White Building, as the name suggests, is a small building painted white throughout, with a height of seven floors. Each layer has a different purpose.
The ground floor is the place of discussion. If something big happens, Su Mengzhen and the five gods will be innocent, guilty, wrong, and speechless, and they will discuss it here. The second floor is the book stack, and the Golden Wind Drizzle Building seems to encourage his subordinates to read more books. Therefore, there are hundreds of schools of thought here, a subset of scriptures and histories, and all books. The third layer is the network of the pigeon team, and any correspondence from or to Goldwind Drizzle House will be used here as the general pick-up. The fourth floor is the collection of martial arts materials of various families and factions in the martial arts, and the Golden Wind Drizzle Building not only collects a large amount of information in this regard, but also annotates it. And the opinions of these criticisms are enough to have a profound influence on the martial arts of all sects and factions in the world.
But the really important ones are the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. Because on the fifth floor, there are all kinds of books, files, and contracts. An organization can't do without money. So there are a lot of deals that need to be done to keep the organization running. And these transactions, of course, produce countless books and deeds. Therefore, when Chen Sheng, Su Mengzhen, and Yang Wuxian stepped on the White Mansion together, they immediately saw thirty-two people.
It's not a martial arts master, it's just thirty-two bookkeepers. They also turned a blind eye to the arrival of Su Mengzhen and Yang Wuxie, and just buried themselves in the case, constantly dialing their plans, and writing hard. If it's not settling accounts, it's recording. All the operations of the huge organization of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building have to be maintained by the documents and assignments here.
These five floors are not a place for personal information. Profiles are placed on the sixth and seventh floors. Of course, depending on the identity and status of the object of the data record, the location of the placement is also different. The information of Lei Zhen, Di Feijing, Guan Qi, Li Shenzhou, Liu Suifeng, Zhao Shirong and others is of course placed on the seventh floor. However, among the thirteen murderers, the information on the eight people who had died in Chen Sheng's hands was obviously not enough, so everyone only went up to the sixth layer and stopped.
It's dawn. The dawn is windy, and the candle flame is gently shaken. Yang Wuxian was the first to walk up to the sixth floor of the White Building. He stopped and stood still, looking at the countless materials on the bookshelves on the four walls under the light of the residual candles, although there was no expression between his eyebrows, but there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Intelligence is always a more living treasure than gold and silver. What's more, the intelligence information here is extremely valuable, and some of it can even be said to be invaluable. Whoever it is, whatever method he uses to gather this information, is a great job. And Yang Wuxie's work is one of the instigators and main participants of this work.
Therefore, Yang Wuxian knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to obtain these intelligence materials, and he knows the blood and sweat during this period. Therefore, when Yang Wuxian looked at these achievements that cost him countless efforts and even caused him to waste and decline in martial arts, he couldn't help but feel both relieved and proud.
