Qi Xuansu rushed all the way to Fengtai County this time, of course, not for the transaction of 1,000 Taiping dollars, nor did he intend to involve the temple in the turmoil, he was ordered to take something from Li Hongwen's hands.

So he used the "inn" to conceal his identity and whereabouts, and at the same time inquired about the news in the "inn", and finally waited for the man who spent 1,000 Taiping to protect Li Hongwen, and then learned Li Hongwen's whereabouts from the man's mouth - Qingluanwei actually played a game of darkness, and after the county government took people, Li Hongwen's family was detained in the county government on the spot, and was not escorted to the hundred households.

Although the man who issued the commission may have been a fish that Qing Luanwei deliberately released that slipped through the net, using him as bait and catching big fish and shrimp together, Qi Xuansu was still determined to go.

Because he came from the Cheonghei Society.

For example, today is like a yin and yang double fish, "yang" is the court, "yin" is the daomen, the two sides are interdependent, you have me, I have you, just like the black dots in the "white fish" and the white dots in the "black fish".

But the Qingping Society did not belong to either the imperial court nor the Daomen, it wandered between the two, and was a secret organization.

The members of the Qingping Society, three sects and nine streams, are mixed. And its members often have two identities, on the surface they are people from the imperial court or Taoism, and secretly they are members of the Qingping Society, so the members of the association do not show their real names, but use their respective code names.

Qi Xuansu has been in the Qingping Society for two years, and his name is "Golden Wrong Knife".

Some people mistakenly think that the "golden wrong knife" is a kind of treasure knife, but in fact, the "golden wrong knife" refers to the ancient knife coin, which is engraved with gold, also known as the "wrong knife", which refers to money.

But Qi Xuansu doesn't have much money, and the name of the brand is a little inappropriate. In fact, only Qi Xuansu himself understands that "Jin Wrong Knife" means money, not necessarily rich, but also owes money, and the name of this word is to remind him that he owes "debt".

Qi Xuansu's other identity is a disciple of the Daomen, but he is a seven-grade Taoist, while Donghua Zhenren is a second-grade Taoist, the gap between the two is like the gap between the county order and the Shangshu, the so-called Donghua Zhenren greetings Yunyun to the commander of Qingluanwei, but Qi Xuansu is talking nonsense and confusing the public.

……

At this time, the man in the lobby of the "inn" who was completely drunk to death in the past had already fallen asleep and never woke up. He never thought that this drunkenness would get him drunk until the next life.

The shopkeeper came to his table, looked at the pot of wine that had not yet been drunk, and sighed: "The 'inn' talks about credibility, but the 'inn' also talks about the rules, that is, the local branches are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the court, and if you want to meddle in the temple, you have to go to the general number. ”

After that, the shopkeeper turned the corpse over to lie on its back, then reached out and took out the covenant from the dead corpse's arms, glanced at it to confirm that it was correct, and stacked it with the covenant book left at the bottom of the "inn", rubbed it casually, and turned it into ashes and scattered with the wind.

Then the shopkeeper high-fived him three times, and two sturdy servants came out of a secret door.

The shopkeeper tore the official ticket of 1,000 Taiping dollars into pieces, sprinkled it on the corpse, and ordered: "Old rules, be sharp." ”

The two servants lifted the body in silence and disappeared silently through the secret door.

During the whole process, the lobby of the "inn" was silent, and some people looked as usual and ignored it. Some people looked frightened and lowered their eyebrows.

The shopkeeper returned to the back of the counter, still full of kindness, not like a character in the rivers and lakes, but like a businessman with a smiling face.

Only many old people who often beg for life in the "inn" here know that this shopkeeper is not a simple person, and there are not a few lives in his hands, otherwise he cannot become the main thing of the "inn" branch here, but he is old and has a high status, and he no longer fights and kills, and begins to pay attention to the sophistication of people, and he is kind and wealthy, and he cultivates his self-cultivation, which has raised a bit of charity.

But this kind of charity is just superficial, the rivers and lakes are not good places, how can there be any good people.

The shopkeeper's actions did not mean to kill the chickens and set an example, except for this unruly man, the young man who saw the money was not much better. Earlier, the shopkeeper had already mentioned him in and out of the words, but he insisted on going his own way, as the so-called good words are difficult to persuade the damned ghost, no wonder the shopkeeper.

……

Fengtai County, County Yazheng Hall.

A tall figure was pacing back and forth, he was also wearing a blue brocade robe, but it was more luxurious than the Qingluan Wei Xiaoqi who had died in Yizhuang, his belt had become a jade belt, and the beast's head had changed to a tiger head with a white forehead.

The small flag is just from the seventh grade, and the general flag is the seventh grade, and this person is from the sixth grade of the test hundred households, and he is already a real power figure in a county.

Further up are the 100 households of the positive sixth grade and the deputy thousand households from the 5th grade. As for the Thousand Households of Zhengwupin, they already belong to the high-level figures in Qingluanwei, and there are only twenty Thousand Households in the entire Qingluanwei.

Zhou Feilong habitually clasped the bronze tiger head on his waist with one hand, and pressed the head of the "thin tiger knife" on his waist with the other hand, his fingers tapped gently, and the official boots with black faces and white backgrounds stepped on the black and shiny ground, making a footstep sound that was not light or heavy.

On the main seat not far away sat his colleague, Qingluan Wei tried a hundred households Li Sanxin.

Zhou Feilong stopped and looked at Li Sanxin without a trace.

Although Li Sanxin just got promoted to 100 households last year, as a confidant who has won the trust of thousands of households, there have been rumors recently that he will be promoted to 100 households with positive six products in the near future.

Li Sanxin didn't seem to be aware of Zhou Feilong's gaze, holding the tea bowl in his left hand, skimming off the tea foam unhurriedly with the bowl lid with his right hand, and gently blowing to dissipate the heat, only then did he take a sip.

Zhou Feilong retracted his gaze, and his mood couldn't help but be a little darker.

This time he came to Fengtai County to deal with Li Hongwen's matter, and it was originally enough to have one test hundred households, but the Thousand Households Lord sent two to try the hundred households, and their intentions were nothing more than two kinds: one was that the Thousand Households were not at ease with him Zhou Feilong, and the other was that Li Sanxin had another secret order.

Zhou Feilong has been a veteran Qingluanwei for decades, and even the prefect has been arrested, not to mention that there is nothing to worry about being a prefect like Li Hongwen, so he expected that Li Sanxin had another secret order.

As for what exactly this secret order was, he didn't have a clue.

At this moment, Li Sanxin put down the tea bowl in his hand, glanced at Zhou Feilong's untouched tea bowl, and said: "This tea is good, brew it with boiling spring water, and the tips of the buds are floating vertically in the tea, it should be the first new tea of this year, picked when the buds are dewed at night, only with you and me, I can't buy a few taels in a year, if Brother Zhou doesn't drink it, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

A little smile appeared on Zhou Feilong's face, sat back on the chair, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently.

"Okay, it's top-notch." Zhou Feilong put down the tea bowl and praised it.

Li Sanxin smiled and asked, "Brother Zhou seems to be a little absent-minded?" ”

Zhou Feilong straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "It just so happened that Brother Li mentioned this stubble, then I will say it directly." Although Li Hongwen has been brought to justice, many of his remnants are still outside, so let's release his cronies and escorts, use him as bait, lure out Li Hongwen's remnants, and then catch them all. It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with this plan, after all, it has been done for so many years, but this time, for some reason, I always feel a little uneasy. ”

Li Sanxin's gaze suddenly became dark, and he picked up the bowl again, and the rising heat covered his face: "Brother Zhou is too worried." ”

Zhou Feilong also picked up his bowl of hot tea, which was also bubbling with white mist, swallowed it directly, and said with a dark look in his eyes: "I hope so." ”

Li Sanxin looked at the sky outside the door, and the originally gray sky seemed to be splashed with a basin of thick ink at this time.

Zhou Feilong got up and came to the door, stood with his hands in his hands, and said: "The weather in the south is changeable, moody. ”

He's a northerner, and he's not used to the weather here.

"Rainy days are always a good time to kill."

The outside was covered with dark clouds, and the inside of the house became dim, Li Sanxin's face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see, his voice came from behind Zhou Feilong, faint and gloomy, which actually made Zhou Feilong feel a little like a man's back.

Zhou Feilong turned around and looked at his colleague.

At this moment, thunder arose, illuminating the heavens and the earth, as well as the dim main hall.

Under the blue-white thunder light, Li Sanxin's face became clear.

Li Sanxin smiled slightly at Zhou Feilong, his white teeth were a little oozing in the dim environment.

Wind and thunder are always with you.

After the thunder passed, the wind passed through the city, and the city, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly became lively, and the women who were busy collecting and drying their clothes, the children who were shouting, the hawkers who hurried to collect their stalls to hide from the rain, and the pedestrians who were hurrying to their homes, hurried and chaotic, and the streets were in chaos.

Countless voices joined together, as if the whole city was whispering.

A downpour came.

Soybean-sized raindrops hit the eaves with a crackling sound, and in an instant, they converged into a thin stream on the tiles, flying down the corners of the eaves, hanging out silver and bright water lines.

The two people in the main hall of the county government were indifferent to the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time.

The same is true of the Qingluan Weilishi who was guarding outside the hall with a sword and armor, letting the rain knock on the armor, and the sound was fierce.

On the long street outside the yamen.

A young man wearing a hat and cloak was heading towards the county office, which did not fit well with this small city full of fireworks.

The young man's cloak had also been soaked by the rain, revealing the shape of a sword and a sword.

A rainy day is indeed a good weather for killing, especially in such a torrential rain, as soon as the blood flows down, it will be washed away by the rain, and after the rain is clear, there will be no traces left.

The rain hits his hat, making a "popping" sound, and the rain gathers into a trickle on the slope of the hat, and drip down like a line along the edge of the hat, forming a rain curtain around the edge of the hat, like a hat.
