Before the six people approached, we had already identified their identities, only the Criminal Division was dressed like this, and only the Criminal Division was the same as the Daomen, believing in the rules of 'the clothier, the chapter of the body', and the difference with the Daomen was that their dress was close to the current mainstream dress, and did not follow the ancient system.

The Criminal Investigation Division is well-informed, and should have thought that as soon as we entered Yongming Town, they should have known about it, and for the time being, I don't know their attitude towards us, Sun Siren pulled me to stand behind her.

After these six people approached, they bowed to me and Sun Siren, and said, "We have been waiting for the two of us for more than a long time, and we ask the two of us to move to the Punishment Division." ”

Sun Siren asked vigilantly, "Do you have anything to do with the envoys looking for us?" ”

One of them replied, "Didn't the two of you come to Yongming Town to ask for help from the Criminal Division?" The former head of the head of the department had already greeted our envoy, so he specially sent a few of us to pick up the two. ”

Just by these few words, it is not possible to judge the attitude of the Sichuan Criminal Division towards us, but the purpose of our coming here is indeed to ask for help, and we can't always avoid the Criminal Division, since we have already been found, Sun Siren thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Then please ask a few people to lead the way." ”

These people led the way in front of their heads, silent all the way, they thought that the Criminal Division would be in Yongming Town, but they took the two of us directly out of Yongming Town, and they didn't stop for a long time out of Yongming Town, we gradually became suspicious, Sun Siren asked, "The Sichuan Criminal Division is built in the countryside?" ”

One of them replied without looking back, "The Punishment Division likes landscape articles and doesn't like to stay in crowded places, the Punishment Division is in the town, but the Punishment Envoy lives in a farmhouse outside the battle on weekdays. ”

Sun Siren nodded in relief, and walked forward for nearly half an hour, and arrived at a desolate place outside Yongming Town, where there was only a mud house, similar to my hometown, with guard dogs and chickens roaming around.

The guard dog knew these people, and when he saw them, he didn't bark, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, these people stopped and said, "The torture envoy is inside, please come in." ”

They didn't intend to go in, so they waited outside, and Sun Siren and I entered the courtyard full of doubts.

The heart says which envoy would live in such a place? After walking a few steps forward, I saw an old man with a white head sitting in an extremely inconspicuous small pavilion next to the courtyard, with a Go board in front of him, and no one sitting on the opposite side, as if he was playing chess with himself.

This man is estimated to be in his eighties, and his subjective consciousness tells me that he is not a torture envoy, but an old father or something like that, so he asked, "Grandpa, is the torture envoy in there?" ”

The old man looked back at me and Sun Siren, smiled and said, "Come and play a game of chess with me, and I'll tell you that he won't see you until you win against me." ”

I was a little puzzled, he came to us, why didn't he come out to see us when we arrived, where did he have the leisure to play chess with him, and I wouldn't, just when I was about to refuse, Sun Siren pulled me, walked up and said, "Old man, he doesn't know how to play chess, how about I accompany you to play a game?" ”

The old man looked up at Sun Siren, "It's okay, sit down." ”

Sun Siren then sat on the opposite side of the chessboard, and did not restart, but continued the situation that was already on the chessboard.

In addition to cultivating Taoism, Taoist Taoists also have the cultivation of the mind, and qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are the most able things to cultivate the mind, so as long as the people who have stayed in Taoism for a few years, most of them will know these, Sun Siren has been worshipping Taoism for more than 200 years, and naturally will.

I sat down and quickly entered the chess game with the old man, I was bored watching on the side, bored, and looked around carefully, for fear that someone would set up a 'bad chess watching' magic circle, and when this game of chess was finished, hundreds of years had passed outside.

This game of chess was played for nearly half an hour, and when it finally ended, Sun Siren smiled and said, "I lost." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to the old man, "Sun Siren, a disciple of Qingxuan Zhenren, has seen Mr. Zheng. ”

The old man was surprised, "You know me?" ”

Sun Siren responded respectfully, "I've read your article. ”

Looking at Sun Siren's attitude, and then looking at the old man's expression, it seems that Sun Siren has great respect for this old man, and I immediately understood that this old man should be the sentencing envoy of the Sichuan Criminal Division, it is hard to imagine that the Sentencing Division would have such an old sentencing envoy.

The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and stood up with difficulty to walk to the house with crutches, Sun Siren also ignored his shoulder pain, and hurriedly stepped forward to stretch out his hands to help the old man into the house, the old man said, "You have an injury to your shoulder, you don't need to help me, don't look at my age, but my body is still quite strong." The old man said that he would go into the house by himself.

Sun Siren still helped him to go in together, it can be seen that Sun Siren really respects this old man, with Sun Siren's rank in Taoism and her strength, even if he meets Zhou Rong of the General Department of Sentencing, he may not be able to serve so thoughtfully, which makes me doubt the identity of this old man, he is definitely not just a torturer.

I thought about it carefully, and among the people I had heard of or knew, I had a high status, and there was no such person at his age.

After entering the house, the old man sat down and looked up at Sun Siren and me, smiled and said, "Zhou Rong, that kid has told me about you, and he has a high opinion of you." ”

I also smiled, I didn't know what the identity of this person was, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Sun Siren replied, "Rashly entering Yongming Town, please don't blame the old gentleman." ”

The old man waved his hand, "Yongming Town is the Yongming Town of the people of the world, and it is not the Yongming Town of the Criminal Division." Then he said, "Zhou Rong, that kid asked me to help you, I'm so old, I can't help if I want to, and the Criminal Division is not my Criminal Division, how can public things be used for private use?" I called you here today to actually want to tell you that since you have come to Yongming Town, you are a guest of Yongming Town, and if you encounter trouble here, you can find the Criminal Division to solve it, but you can't make trouble here, if you have trouble, I can't spare you with a cane in my hand. ”

This old man speaks straightforwardly, impartially, but has the temperament of a scholar, although he does not explicitly say that he wants to help us, but he also shows his attitude, he is neutral, will not help us, and will not harm us.

He has a very important sentence, if you encounter trouble here, you can find the Criminal Division, which is actually a little biased towards us, although it may not be his original intention, just to sell Zhou Rong a face, but it can be regarded as a statement.

Sun Siren and I hurriedly responded, "Okay." ”

The old man looked at Sun Siren and me again, saw the wounds on our bodies, sighed and said, "These people are really, what can't be solved calmly, they have to use knives and guns." ”

Sun Siren and I were silent.

He suddenly said, "Before you entered Yongming Town, Qingcheng Mountain wrote that they had killed twelve Taoist priests, and you did it. Guess that you may have to come to Yongming Town, let us mention the Criminal Division here to help deal with it, little boy, little girl, did you really kill those twelve people? ”

I hurriedly said, "No, someone is framing us." ”

The old man nodded, didn't listen to our more explanations, and said directly, "You don't look like a great evil person, if you were born fierce, I might have arrested you a long time ago, and I will believe you for the time being." ”

Sun Siren said, "Thank you, old man, for your trust." ”

The old man was gracious, waved his hand, and said, "Let's all go back and rest, remember, no one can die in Yongming Town." ”

Sun Siren and I said yes again, and then left.

I came here from afar, just listening to him give us a few words like a leader and letting us leave, which made me a little confused, but seeing Sun Siren's expression, I seemed to be very satisfied with seeing this old man.

After I left here, I asked curiously, "Who is this old man?" ”

Sun Siren said, "Mr. Xi Zhengjun, the former chief teacher of the Criminal Division, didn't expect him to come to Sichuan as the Criminal Division. ”

Zhou Rong is the head of the general department of punishment, not the head of the general department, Zhou Rong teaches martial arts.

And Jiaoxi is the name of the scholar in ancient times, isn't the chief teacher the gentleman who mentions the general division of the criminal department?

This status is even higher than Zhou Rong, no wonder he dares not to give Zhou Rong face.

However, if you want to talk about the real status, although this Zheng Jun's position is higher than Zhou Rong's, but the real status is probably not as good as Zhou Rong's.

I shook my head, "I haven't. ”

Sun Siren said, "You have also read his books, the book "Wonders of Kyushu" on your body was written by him, and his other name is 'Mr. Three Idiots'." ”
