Chapter 90: Settling In
According to common sense, all cases in the capital should be handled by the six gates, and it is almost impossible to cross the line of the six doors from the six departments to the people. And in the long period of more than 100 years, the prestige of the six doors has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And at this moment, there is suddenly an additional Shenhou Mansion, which also has the right to investigate cases large and small across the country, and the way to come is different from the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department of the Six Gates, which is directly under the orders of today's saints! Not under the rule of the Six Ministries!
You must know that the rights of the six departments are very large, and all kinds of trivial matters are under their jurisdiction. And the six Shangshu are also the main second-grade members of the Eight Classics, which is different from Zhuge Zheng's self-me, who simply enjoys the treatment of the second grade, but holds real power. Even if the god catcher is in the limelight at the moment, he has to be polite to each other when he sees the book of the criminal department.
The wind and waves are coming.
In short, at present, the officialdom forces in the capital maintain a strange balance, coupled with a series of blows, the six doors are no longer aggressive to the Shenhou Mansion before, but have turned into a state of cooperation. Although Zhuge Zheng's request was a little abrupt, after thinking about it, the god catcher still agreed to Zhuge Zheng's request.
"Brother Zhuge is polite, of course the Shenhou Mansion also has the right to investigate the case. Since this is the case, then Ouyang Da's case will be handed over to the Shenhou Mansion, and our six doors will no longer interfere. ”
Zhuge Zheng hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu." ”
Others though curious. Zhuge Zheng, why did I take the initiative to intervene in this case, after all, this should be under the jurisdiction of the six doors first. This intervention has to owe a favor that is not too big or small. However, the inside story is complicated, except for the two parties Zhuge Zhengme and Tie Shou. Only Zhang Yang is clear.
There was an important case in the body, and everyone did not delay too much time in the six doors, and when the rescue of Ouyang Da was over, the group returned to the Shenhou Mansion, but when they were leaving, the butterfly chased after them and quietly stuffed a cloth bag to Tie Shou.
"What is this?"
"This is the Jiangnan tribute tea that Lord God Catcher gave to our sisters a few days ago, which was given to Lord God Catcher by the Holy Emperor. I heard that it is about staying up late. Hurting the mind has a good curative effect, I didn't want to drink it, so I left some for you. ”
There has long been a love affair between the two (Iron Hand: Get out!). )…… It was almost the official announcement that they could get married and enter the cave room, and it was not surprising that Zhang Yang and the others were not surprised, but no one saw that in a corner of the six doors, Ji Yaohua, who was wearing a big red majestic official robe, looked in this direction with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.
"A lover eventually becomes a family...... sister butterfly. You can find someone you like and be with him, but what about me? Brother Leng is now bent on staying in the Shenhou Mansion, and all his energy is focused on the ruthless woman. Should I snatch Brother Leng back? ”
It is said that women are very selfish creatures, and there are often two extremes in their view of love, or they let go completely. Either you will resolutely not give up what belongs to you. And obviously, even Ji Yaohua, who is already the second person in the six doors. still can't get rid of this law, because of the hot relationship between cold-blooded and ruthless recently. I also fell into a deep choice in my heart.
Ji Yaohua's eyes showed a hint of struggle, but when she finally saw the cold-blooded back of the departure, she finally became cold, flashing with a fierce light like a she-wolf.
"Ruthless, I won't give up Brother Leng. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless...... The master's order, I can't resist now, even if it's not for Brother Leng, for the butterflies and these sisters to live, I, Ji Yaohua, must finish this thing! ”
Ji Yaohua, who had made a decision, no longer looked at the figures of the butterfly and the iron hand, but turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
Naturally, no one noticed this qiē, including the cold-blooded and butterfly who were the parties involved, if they could notice Ji Yaohua's abnormality, they would be able to find that Ji Yaohua, who left the six gates, went to the mountains to the south alone.
The vast mountains that creep and meander like a sleeping dragon lie down on the land in a north-south trend, surrounded by mountains, rarely inhabited, and lush forests hide a secret in the dark. If you don't know the route here, you will basically get lost once you enter this place, and then you will either die in the belly of the beast, or fall down the mountain, or be injured by the poisonous plants and poisonous snakes in the mountain, and die alone without anyone to rescue you.
However, even in such a treacherous landscape, there is still a population of people, if you have the heart, you can follow the route of these people and find a huge karst cave that is enough to be called the life of the ghost!
As if a miracle, inside this wide, majestic mountain, there is a large natural cave, apparently formed naturally by complex geological movements, and two dark rivers flow through it, diverting through countless hidden channels, and then reconverging into a tributary outside the mountain, and finally running to the sea in the distance.
And this natural cave, beautifully decorated, shows traces of man-made, apparently occupied by a certain force. The everlasting lantern lit with butter all year round illuminates this place very clearly. And it is evident that there is a very good ventilation in place, so the smell of butter candles does not drift far before it dissipates with the wind.
In addition to butter candles, there are more elaborately decorated and delicate beeswaxes, as well as oil lamps and lanterns, which dot the mountainside. The maids dressed in plain palace maids occasionally walked by, but none of them dared to speak out casually - anyone who could appear here had been closely monitored and investigated. Even if they want to leave here, they must go through complicated procedures, otherwise they may have been killed by the secret outpost hiding in the shadows before they even leave the mountain, and the corpses will be digested in the stomach pouches of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.
This place is secretive, magnificent, and cold, because this is the most secret and huge stronghold left by the An family!
Huge reserves of gold, silver, grain, etc., are abundant here, in order to leave a way back in the event of a defeat and a difficult situation in which the army rises up and attacks. The amount of work involved in its construction was the energy of an entire generation of An Jia, who began to renovate it before An Shigen was even born.
As one of the earliest wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, the An family has long sought a way out, and it has been passed to the hands of the current An Yunshan.
Originally, according to the normal process, this stronghold and the huge property of the An family were to be inherited by An Yunshan's biological son An Shigeng, but because of an unscrupulous guy, An Shigeng, who could have survived, was sent to the underworld with a knife, and the situation of inheriting no one was so that An Yunshan could only come forward again and take over this qiē again.
