Volume 1 The Seven Grades of Taoism Chapter 84 Undercurrent Surging (5)

Zhang Yuelu took a dossier from He Nian's hand and opened it casually.

The deceased's name is Jiao Dayan, is a well-known local gentry, because of the death, his family does not hide his birthdate, this person is actually destined to commit the two pillars of Tiansha, Lone Star, the husband and wife, the son and daughter, the relatives and friends, the six relatives have no fate, the brothers are weak, the marriage is difficult, the old age is miserable, and the loneliness is miserable. In the early years, the main family will be rich, the middle lord will sell the land and punish the body, lose his son and wife, and return to his father.

It's just that he didn't expect that before the middle lord sold the field and was punished, Jiao Dayan was cut off first.

Naturally, this kind of life pattern has little merit, but for many Gu Immortal believers, the soul of a person with this kind of life is of great use and can please Gu Immortals. Then it also indirectly confirms Zhang Yuelu's speculation that Jiao Dayan's death is indeed related to the secret association.

According to the dossier, Jiao Dayan just married the seventh concubine last month, but less than half a month after the concubine entered the door, Jiao Dayan was tragically killed and his head was cut off.

The day after Jiao Dayan's death, the concubine also disappeared, and Jiao Dayan spent the night in the concubine's room when he died. So Qingluanwei suspected that this was a typical combination of inside and outside, and the concubine was a conspiracy.

Next is the relevant information of the concubine. The woman's surname is Hu, she is not a local, and she has a husband. The reason why they married Jiao Dayan was because the husband and wife happened to meet Jiao Dayan who was traveling when they passed by. After Jiao Dayan saw the woman, he was shocked, and suddenly moved his mind and sent someone to stop the husband and wife. Then there was coercion and temptation, forcing Hu's husband to sign a letter of resignation, and naturally accepted Hu as a concubine.

It was precisely because of such causes and consequences that Qingluanwei couldn't determine for a while whether the Hu family deliberately infiltrated the Jiao family, or whether the Hu family deliberately colluded with the thieves to kill Jiao Dayan in order to take revenge.

Zhang Yuelu said thoughtfully: "This seems to be the means of the Purple Light Society. ”

Luo Xiao had already left because he had other things to deal with, so only He Nian was by Zhang Yuelu's side at this time, and when he heard Zhang Yuelu's words, He Nian asked, "What does the mage mean is that this matter is related to the secret association?" ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded and closed the file in his hand.

By now, Jiao Dayan's death was no longer important, the key was to find out the group of Gu Immortal believers hiding in the shadows and prevent them from causing greater harm.

Zhang Yuelu asked, "Has there been a similar case recently?" ”

He Nian thought for a moment and said, "In recent years, there should have never been a similar case. ”

Zhang Yuelu turned his head to look at He Nian: "Why don't you remember wrong?" ”

"Lao Yu has been in charge of the documents of the hundred households for more than ten years, and there has never been a mistake. If there really is a similar case, then the old decay will not be without impressions. He Nian replied very firmly.

Zhang Yuelu didn't continue to ask, but asked, "What about the Luo Baihu?" Has such a case ever been reported to a thousand households? ”

He Nian said: "The Lord of the Hundred Households should be in the signing room, not to hide from the Master, recently there was a pacification envoy who was ordered to come down to inspect, and the Lord of the Hundred Households should make some preparations in advance, so as not to make any mistakes when they get it." As for the Qianhu Office, we naturally reported it, but the Lord of the Thousand Households also has to focus on this superior, when he can withdraw from it, it is not something that our subordinates can put their beaks, and I hope the mage can understand. ”

"Understood." Zhang Yuelu nodded, and handed the file in his hand to He Nian's hand, "But the stakes are high, I still have to go to see Luo Baihu, and I hope He Baihu can understand." ”

He Nian smiled bitterly: "Master ......"

Zhang Yuelu walked straight out.

Only He Nian was left standing in the morgue with the dossier in his hand.

Zhang Yuelu walked through the corridor all the way, and there was no shortage of Qingluan Wei lieutenants who had contacts among the hundreds of households, and she was intimidated by her momentum, although she looked at the face, no one dared to stop her.

Zhang Yuelu came to Luo Xiao's signing room, and instead of breaking in rudely, he knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door of the signing room opened, and several lieutenants left in a hurry, leaving only Luo Xiao alone.

Luo Xiao invited Zhang Yuelu outside the door into the signing room and asked, "I don't know what else Master Zhang has to see?" ”

"I don't dare to be taught." Zhang Yuelu got straight to the point, "I just want to ask a few questions." ”

Luo Xiao said: "Master Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to ask, you must know everything and say everything." ”

Zhang Yuelu asked casually: "How long has Luo Baihu been in charge of the Baihu here?" ”

Luo Xiao was stunned, and didn't quite understand what Zhang Yuelu was asking for, but he still replied truthfully: "Less than a year." My predecessor is now Senhe-sama. ”

"I see." Zhang Yuelu asked again, "So many big and important cases in the past are only known by Qianhu and Trial Baihu?" 0”

Luo Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, He tried a hundred households is the old man in the institute, and he is in charge of all kinds of files in the institute, if the mage wants to inquire about any case, just ask He Try a hundred households." ”

Zhang Yuelu already knew it in his heart.

If there have been similar cases in recent years, then the only people in the know are the local Qingluanwei Qianhu and Try 100 households He Nian. The two of them are fully capable of suppressing all this kind of cases, Luo Xiao, as a descendant, has thousands of households, and what he thinks will only be played with by others.

If her guess is true, then He Nian is very suspicious.

However, Zhang Yuelu did not tell Luo Xiao about this speculation, on the one hand, he was the boss and deputy, and on the other hand, he was the person from the Daomen who he had just met, and no one would rashly believe the latter and doubt the former, maybe it would backfire, making Luo Xiao suspicious of himself.

Zhang Yuelu then asked a few more irrelevant questions, all of which seemed to be related to the secret association, but in fact they were used to hide his true intentions.

After half an hour like this, Zhang Yuelu said goodbye and left the signing room and looked up at the sky.

I don't know when, it's already dark clouds.

At this moment, He Nian walked over unhurriedly, there was no file in his hand, but he carried a jar of wine with a net pocket, and said to Luo Xiao in the signing room: "Lord Baihu, Lord Qianhu has arrived, and he is waiting for you in the front hall." ”

"Senho-sama has arrived?" Luo Xiao was taken aback and pushed the door out.

He Nian lifted the wine in his hand high and said, "It's also a coincidence, Lord Qianhu has just arrived, and he saw me as soon as he entered the Baihu Office, and asked me to prepare a jar of wine, saying that he would have a good drink with Lord Baihu later." ”

Luo Xiao didn't care about anything else, confessed to Zhang Yuelu, and hurriedly walked to the front hall.

Only Zhang Yuelu and He Nian are left here.

He Nian stood with his backlight, although he had a smile on his face, he was a little dark and infiltrating.

Zhang Yuelu stood with her hands in her hands, her expression was light, she was not very afraid of the old man in front of her, what really worried her was Qi Xuansu, who went to Qingbai Temple alone.

……

Qi Xuansu didn't expect that he would be involved in such a bizarre and strange thing.

After he showed Bai Yongguan Zhang Yuelu's waist card, Bai Yongguan's attitude changed greatly, and he agreed, but he had to leave Qi Xuansu to eat in the Guannei, saying that there was a fat pig in the Guannei that had reached his age, and the meat was of high quality, which was the most suitable for entertaining guests.

After all, it was an invitation from a four-grade sacrificial wine priest, and Qi Xuansu couldn't refuse it, so he could only accept it.

At this moment, Bai Yongguan said that killing pigs was a technical job, and he wanted to supervise it personally, and asked Qi Xuansu to wait in front for a while.

After that, Bai Yongguan instructed Bai Yue to prepare a banquet and went to the backyard of the Taoist temple himself.

Just when Qi Xuansu was suspicious in his heart, Li Zhen'er, the wife of the master, appeared, she looked panicked, her face was pale, as if she was greatly frightened, and told Qi Xuansu a shocking secret, the "fat pig" in Bai Yongguan's mouth was actually not a pig, but Bai Yongguan's disciple Lu Yu.

The reason why Bai Yongguan wanted to turn his disciple Lu Yu into a fat pig and slaughter and cook it was because Lu Yu had an affair with her, who was a teacher.

After Qi Xuansu heard about this, he was shocked in his heart, but he didn't care how Bai Yongguan dealt with the adulterer, the key is what do you mean by killing the adulterer and entertaining guests? Did I provoke you?

Immediately after, after the initial annoyance, Qi Xuansu immediately smelled a dangerous aura.

Putting aside many situations that cannot be put on the surface, the moral standards of the Daomen are extremely high, such as the abolition of the slave and human trafficking system, the abolition of the polyandry system, the abolition of torture such as Ling Chilian, and the prohibition of the opening of the academy and other places of the wind and moon, etc., and strive to maximize the morality within the allowable range, so that the people in the Daomen are proud of Yujing, and despise the emperor, privately call the latter a barbaric place, and even think that many of the emperor's magnates are uncivilized people.

In this context, some things are not on the scale, there are no four or two, and on the scale, it is the weight of ten thousand pounds.

At the beginning, a three-grade Youyi Taoist priest abused his servants, and after it was exposed, he was immediately ordered to resign from all positions and demoted to a fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist.

Bai Yongguan killed his disciples, the cruelty of the means, the evil influence, far beyond the killing itself, even if the disciples were at fault first, this move was a big crime that the Daomen could not tolerate. In other words, if Bai Yongguan only kills people, the Daomen can also be determined to be an excesses under the anger of the moment, and according to secular law, there is still room for turning around if he is not guilty of catching rape and murder. But if it's torture and killing, then there is no other way to say it.

Once it spreads, Bai Yongguan is afraid that there will be no room for turning over, and he may even face the fate of being arrested and interrogated by Beichen Hall.

Then Qi Xuansu's situation as an insider is very dangerous.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but say, "Li Daoyou, why are you telling me this?" ”

Li Zhen'er seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Qi Daoyou, you are a person from the ancestral court, he doesn't dare to do anything to you, please take me away from here, otherwise he will definitely kill me too." ”

Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly.

If he didn't know anything, then Bai Yongguan really didn't dare to do anything to him, but when he knew the inside story, it would be completely different, and Bai Yongguan would probably take a risk and choose to kill people.

Qi Xuansu's mind turned sharply, trying to think about how to leave this place without a trace.

At this moment, Bai Yongguan came back quietly, and there were a few more imperceptible blood stains on his robe.

Qi Xuansu's heart sank suddenly.

Bai Yongguan glanced at Li Zhen'er, who was pale, and said softly, "Aren't you feeling unwell?" Why don't you go to rest? ”

Li Zhen'er trembled and couldn't speak.

Bai Yongguan looked at Qi Xuansu again, with a smile on his face: "Let Deacon Qi wait for a long time, the pork has been put into the pot and will be eaten soon." ”

Qi Xuansu only felt a chill behind him.
