In the 41st year of Taiping, Xuansheng promulgated the edict of "banning all associations that have not been approved by the Daomen" at the Jinque Council, and Li Donghuang, who was the great true person of Taiping Dao at the time, was responsible for implementing this matter.

Confucianism and Buddhism also responded.

Since then, the three religions, led by Daomen, have begun to ban, dissolve, suppress, and exterminate all kinds of associations that are not approved by Daomen, and many associations have gone underground and become various illegal secret associations.

The Qingping Society is a behemoth in a secret society, and so is the "inn".

The reason why the two were able to survive and grow under the suppression of the Daomen is not the same. In general, the Qingping Society is inextricably linked with the Daomen itself, which can be seen from the fact that the Qingping Society can help Qi Xuansu operate the Taoist grade. The "inn" has a deeper connection with the imperial court, which is also the fundamental reason why the "inn" will not easily accept the business of the imperial court, so the "inn" dares to ambush a four-grade Taoist priest, but refuses to save a seven-rank county commander from the hands of Qingluanwei.

Because of this, if you want to make the "inn" speak, a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist can't do it, but a Qingluan Wei Qianhu can. This has nothing to do with the status of the two, but only the distance between the two people.

The sky was bright, and a team of men and horses galloped towards Fengtai County.

The person at the head was dressed in a special cyan official uniform embroidered with a bear.

Daxuan is customized, and the officials have their own tricks. Gong, Hou, horse, and Bofu embroidered Bai Ze, not in the number of civil and military. From the first grade to the ninth grade of civil and military, there are all suitable patterns.

Civil officials embroider birds to show civilization: first-grade cranes, second-grade golden pheasants, third-grade peacocks, fourth-grade cloud geese, fifth-grade white pheasants, sixth-grade herons, seventh-grade emus, eighth-grade yellow orioles, and ninth-grade quails.

The military attache embroidered the beast to demonstrate the fierceness: the first grade of the unicorn, the second grade of the fierce fox, the third grade of the leopard, the fourth grade of the tiger, the fifth grade of the bear, the sixth grade of the biao, the seventh and eighth grades of the rhinoceros, and the ninth grade of the seahorse.

In addition, there are pythons, bullfights, etc., which belong to the category of giving services.

Because of this, there is a saying that the well-dressed beast is said.

The Daxuan court originated in the north, advocating water morality, the official uniform is mainly the color of black and black, and the military attache is from the first product to the ninth grade, and then to the ordinary soldiers, the official uniforms and clothes are as black as ink, so they got the title of "man in black", except for one type of military attaché, that is Qingluanwei.

Qingluanwei, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, was formerly known as the "Tsing Yi Division" of the former Great Wei Dynasty, responsible for the emperor's guards, and later merged with the "Yiluan Division" in charge of the emperor's honor guard, and was renamed "Qingluanwei", so he wore Tsing Yi.

Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty abolished the governor's mansion of the five armies and the guards in various places, and abolished the military household system, leaving only Qingluanwei.

Then the identity of this group of people is already very clear, it is the famous Qingluanwei, and the person at the head is a Qingluanwei Qianhu who is a five-grade person.

The five grades are not high, but they are weighted.

Today's Qingluanwei, the commander of the third product is one person, the commander of the third product knows two people, the commander of the fourth product is two people, the fourth product is the commander of the two people, and the fifth product is twenty people from thousands of households. There are twenty-seven people in the full fight, and this person is one of the twenty-seven people, looking at the entire Qingluanwei, counting those masters who have no specific official positions, they are also real power figures that cannot be underestimated.

Such a person, who is in charge of a thousand households and is based in the capital of a state, naturally has something important to do when he comes to Fengtai County today.

Coming to a fork in the road, the Qianhu Le Ma stopped, and the Qingluanwei behind also stopped their horses, Li Sanxin was a horse head behind, and said softly: "My lord, to the right is the road to the county seat, and to the left is the road to the 'inn'." ”

Qianhu looked about the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, with gray temples, weather-beaten, and extremely strong military traces on his body, indicating that he was once one of the men in black.

This is not surprising, Qingluanwei is inextricably linked with the man in black, just as the imperial court and the Daomen are also inextricably linked.

Chinobe was silent for a moment, then beat his horse and walked to the left.

The death of a county order and a trial hundred households, within his and Jiang Beiyun's plan, is not a big deal, the key is that the subsequent development of things has changed, which made him have to come to Fengtai County in person.

As a veteran Qingluanwei, his first reaction was to believe that the "inn" was the key, and this person had appeared in the "inn", so he would definitely leave some clues in the "inn".

Soon, the Qingluan guards came to the gate of Yizhuang, which was quiet and deadly silent.

Qianhu turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to Yizhuang.

Li Sanxin and some of the Qingluanwei followed closely behind Qianhu, while the rest of the Qingluanwei scattered and surrounded Yizhuang.

After passing through the long corridor, you will come to the lobby of the "inn" located underground, and before you enter the door, you can smell the thick smell of blood.

As Qingluanwei, he was no stranger to this kind of smell, and everyone's faces became solemn.

Qianhu didn't have any expression on his face, he couldn't see half of his joy and anger, and walked into the lobby of the "inn" in silence.

At this time, the "inn" had become a Shura field, and everyone was sitting in their positions, maintaining the last posture of their lives, without any traces of resistance or fighting, as if these people were not aware of the impending death.

The shopkeeper was still standing behind the counter, leaning forward with his head slightly bowed.

A Taiping coin was embedded in the center of his eyebrows, leaving only half a circle exposed, just enough to see the word "Taiping".

Qianhu came to the side of the shopkeeper's body, stared at the Taiping coin, and said softly: "Master." ”

Li Sanxin, who was following Qianhu's side, trembled slightly in his heart.

You must know that this master of a thousand households has already reached the end of an innate person ten years ago, and his uncle Jiang Beiyun is in the middle of the middle, and thousands of households have to praise a master, so what kind of cultivation should a murderer be?

Is it an innate person at the stage of reversion? Or is it a celestial man who sees the head but does not see the end?

Chiho's gaze took his eyes off the shopkeeper's corpse and looked at the ground in front of the counter.

Li Sanxin also looked at it.

There are two clearly visible footprints, even the pattern of the sole is clear, and the most striking thing is that there is a pattern in the center of the sole that resembles a copper coin with a square hole.

Judging by the size, it should be a woman.

Qingluan Weiyu, who was in charge of inspecting the corpse, reported: "My lord, these people all died from some kind of sharp thin line. ”

Even if you don't use Fang Shi to go back with local qi, you can restore the scene at that time very well.

The "inn" is still the same as usual, with a black lacquered counter and a silver-white Taiping coin rotating on the counter.

The shopkeeper standing behind the counter held his chin with his right hand, looking at the spinning Taiping Qian in a daze.

At that moment, a woman came to the counter, leaving two footprints.

Just when the shopkeeper wanted to reach out and pat the spinning Taiping money under his palm.

The woman tapped her fingers on the counter, and the spinning Taiping money jumped up directly and collapsed into the center of the shopkeeper's eyebrows.

Almost at the same time, the many "guests" behind the woman, these killer thieves who make a living by killing, were all killed by the thin threads that appeared out of thin air and crisscrossed and took their lives.

These thin lines are like spider webs all over every corner of the lobby, so that these old rivers and lakes who have been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time have no power to fight back, and they don't even know how they died.

It was a massacre.

However, there was no ripple in Qianhu's heart.

The people who can come to the "inn" have no good people, the so-called hired murderers, the "murderers" are talking about these people, and they are all damned people.

To die is to die.

The murderer is always killed, and it is not a big deal.

However, considering the secret relationship between the "inn" and Qingluanwei, the death of the shopkeeper crossed the line, which Qingluanwei could not tolerate.

Qianhu asked, "How many relevant documents are left in the 'inn'?" ”

A Qingluan Wei tried a hundred households and replied: "Lord Qiyu, all the documents have been destroyed, and all the official tickets have also been taken away. ”

Qianhu said softly: "Working alone, cleaning up the aftermath alone, this is not a single gang on the rivers and lakes, but a secret association with a strict system, or...... It's basically the people in the Dao Gate who made a move. ”

"Yes...... Donghua real people? Li Sanxin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

There is no clear distinction between the thirty-six real people in terms of status, but the realm cultivation is uneven, and Donghua real people belong to the best among the thirty-six real people.

Qianhu's tone was a little solemn, and he said: "Master Jiang has already spoken to me with the Zimu Talisman, if it is a real person from Donghua, then this matter involves the internal fighting of the Quanzhen Dao." ”

Li Sanxin was originally a disciple of Taiping Dao, and he knew a lot about these situations, and said: "At the beginning, Xuansheng ordered Quanzhen Dao to be in charge of many 'creation' projects, and two major factions were derived. ”

Qianhu obviously also knew about this public case, and whispered to himself: "Xuansheng let Taiping Dao be in charge of the affairs of the world, let Zhengyi be in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods, and let Quanzhen Dao be in charge of the creation of things. Therefore, the Taiping Dao is the closest to humanity, and the Taiping Dao is known as the 'National Teacher'; Zhengyi is the closest to Shinto, and the Zhengyi Dazhen is known as the 'Heavenly Master'; and the Quanzhen Dao is the closest to the Netherworld, and the Quanzhen Dao is known as the 'Earth Master'. These three divisions are higher than the three divisions of the imperial court, if it is done by Donghua Zhenren, it will involve the local division behind it, I don't know what the national teacher will think? ”

Li Sanxin did not dare to comment.

He is a disciple of Taiping Dao, Xuansheng was born in Taiping Dao, and Xuansheng's wife is the eldest daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Daxuan, the eldest sister of Emperor Taizong, and the Quanzhen Dao Dazhen Dazhen Li Donghuang, who implemented Xuansheng's edict of "banning all associations that are not approved by the Daomen", is the younger brother of Xuansheng and one of the ancestors of the Li faction of Taiping Dao.

Therefore, Taiping Dao is the closest to humanity, and has an inextricable relationship with the imperial court, acting as a link between Taoism and the imperial court.

Qianhu walked outside and instructed, "Prepare some fire oil, burn it clean, and leave no traces." ”

Li Sanxin followed.

Another one tried 100 households to respectfully receive the order.
