Zhang Heng was dumbfounded, "Out... What's wrong? ”

Guo Luquan looked around, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "There are many people here, let's leave first!" ”

The pattern of Kangyuan City is rich in the north and noble in the south, the north side is close to the canal wharf, the commerce and trade are prosperous, the three religions and nine streams converge, and the south side is relatively elegant and quiet, the forest is forested, and the deep houses of the wealthy families are hidden in it.

As Zhao Duwei, he couldn't squeeze into the high gate of the southern city, so he simply settled in Dexingfang in the northern city, where there are many wine shops and shops, Wang Xuan and Zhang Heng are both tall and big, so they are very conspicuous.

The group did not go far, found a restaurant Yajing private room to sit down, and after the wine and food came up, Guo Luquan deliberately or unintentionally said to the second child in the store.

"Zhao Mansion..."

The shopkeeper's eyes were full of mystery, and he lowered his voice and said: "I heard that I offended the big guy, just the night before yesterday, the whole family was pressed into death row, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep." ”

After the shopkeeper left, Wang Xuan's face turned cold, "I offended the big guys, before the military government was restructured... Hum! ”

He has fused with the memories of his previous life, and Zhao Duwei has taken a lot of care of him, so naturally he can't sit idly by.

"Don't worry, sir." Guo Luquan arched his hand, "The old man has a lot of acquaintances in this Kangyuan City, so find out the situation and then make a plan." ”

"There is Lao Guo."

Wang Xuan was a little helpless, his predecessor was a stuffy gourd, and he didn't want to send people under the fence, every time he reported his work, he came in a hurry, and he left in a hurry, except for Zhao Duwei, there was no way to go to Fucheng.

Guo Luquan moved quickly, and returned to the restaurant in less than an hour, and said with a solemn look in his eyes: "It's not a small trouble, it's okay to accept bribes from subordinates, but the problem is that you lost the tiger talisman!" ”

"As soon as the first month of the new year, the imperial court transferred a prince from the Shendu Imperial Forest Army, I heard that he was preparing to take over the rectification of the evil town army, Zhao Duwei was also very knowledgeable, and posted it early, but when the holy decree came down the day before yesterday, the tiger talisman disappeared."

"The prince was furious, and ordered someone to take down Captain Zhao on the spot..."

After listening to the details, there was anger in Wang Xuan's eyes, "My Zhao Shibo is cautious and timid, no one dares to offend, how could he lose the tiger talisman, he is clearly a scapegoat!" ”

Guo Luquan also nodded and said: "The military government is restructured, and the imperial court will naturally not let the power go aside, since Zhao Duwei has fallen to that prince, the Xiao family will naturally not give up." ”

"The Xiao family..."

Wang Xuan looked out the window, "Old Guo, where is Inspector Xiao?" ”

…………

Kangyuan Chengdong, Correction Fang, Xiaoyue Nunnery.

The so-called "hermitage" refers to the place where female practitioners live.

There are many temples in the correction workshop, and the temple of the state capital is also here, and the incense is strong all year round. In addition to the Taiyi Sect and the Sumeru Sect, there are also many Buddhist and Taoist miscellaneous sects of Buddhism and Taoism who also teach disciples here, and the humble Xiaoyue Nunnery is among them.

At this time, it was almost dusk, the twilight drums were echoing, and the incense was swirling.

In the back hall of the nunnery, Wang Xuan sat cross-legged, and a white-clothed Taoist aunt with a beautiful face opposite him was pouring tea for him, and it was Xiao Qingman.

"I didn't expect Inspector Xiao to be enshrined..."Wang Xuan's eyes were a little incredulous.

In his image, this woman from a family has a strong personality, and her eyebrows are full of anger, who knows that she has not seen her for a few months, and the other party has resigned from the position of Jing Demon Division and has become a Taoist aunt who has closed her door to cultivate.

"Brother Wang can call me Qingyue."

Xiao Qingman's face was indifferent and filtered out the tea, "I am a side branch of the Xiao family, my father has suffered a lot since I was a child, I can't help but have a stubborn personality, I want to do a career, and after the teacher suffered, I fell into a demonic barrier, and I couldn't make an inch of progress, but fortunately, Brother Wang helped me take revenge and eliminate this karma." ”

Speaking of this, she shook her head slightly, "I'm not afraid of Brother Wang's jokes, I have to return to Kang Yuan with my great revenge, I thought I could go one step further with this merit, but it was still a joke in the Xiao family, and even the elders in the clan ordered me to choose a husband to join the Xiao family." ”

"The people who come to ask for relatives are all greedy for the power of the Xiao family, and I am also disheartened, so I simply escaped into the Taoist gate and passed on a pulse of incense for the master."

"I see."

Wang Xuan suddenly realized, then frowned and shook his head: "I originally wanted to be cheeky and ask Qingyue Zhenren to inquire about something, since this is the case......"

Qingyue smiled indifferently: "Brother Wang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Wang Xuan hesitated slightly, but still told the cause and effect.

Qingyue shook her head after hearing this: "Brother Wang, with all due respect, you shouldn't get involved in this matter, the strength of the Xiao family is far from being able to resist, and the military government restructuring is imminent, and you are also deeply involved in it, which is extremely dangerous... However, it is not a big problem to help you find out. ”

Wang Xuan solemnly clenched his fists: "Thank you!" ”

Qingyue didn't speak, arched her hand and got up to leave.

……

After a few hours, the sky was filled with stars.

Wang Xuan came out of Xiaoyue Nunnery, holding a stack of secret letters in his hand, and turned his head to look at the slowly closing wooden door, he knew that the other party's help meant that the favor had been repaid.

"How's it going, sir?"

Zhang Heng, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Wang Xuan's eyes were puzzled, "This matter is not the Xiao family's doing, let's talk about it when we go back." ”

Back at the inn, Wang Xuan spread out the secret letters one by one.

"After the tiger talisman was stolen, the prince became more and more jealous of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family also ordered someone to secretly inquire about the matter and found some clues, you see."

"On the second day of the first lunar month, someone in Dexingfang, where Zhao Duwei was located, set up a Yin War Altar at night, and was killed by the night patrol of the city god.

"On the fourth day of the first lunar month, it was rumored that several secret disciples entered Kangyuan City..."

"On the fifth day of the first lunar month, that is, the day before yesterday, Zhao Duwei went to the evil military mansion, on the way, there were Jianghu artists performing rope skills on the street, Zhao Duwei rode a horse and stayed for a while, and when he arrived at the military mansion, he found that the tiger talisman was stolen..."

After that, Wang Xuan looked at everyone.

Guo Luquan sneered: "First to explore the bottom, and then to design the theft talisman, this is clearly a means of the rivers and lakes, and more than one family participated, and they didn't bother to hide it at all." ”

"What the old man can't figure out is that if he wants to muddy the water and arouse the suspicion of the imperial family, it will be too big, but it will be like raising a flag!"

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What is a flag?" ”

Du Chunni next to her shook her head and said: "Zhang Ye doesn't know, this is a means in the rivers and lakes, for example, when the troupe first arrives in a different place, they must first sing a big opera for free, showing their ability, and they will know each other when they meet their colleagues." ”

"That's right!"

Guo Luquan touched his beard and frowned and pondered, "It seems that many Jianghu legal veins are involved in this matter, and their goal is not Zhao Duwei, but to show the royal family that they exist, is it possible that these guys are crazy?" ”

Wang Xuan sighed slightly: "I was also strange, the prince who came airborne, several families led by the Xiao family, and the rivers and lakes that stole talismans, all of them were a little inexplicable, until I saw this." ”

With that, he pulled out the last secret letter.

Guo Luquan picked it up and quickly checked it, his eyes were full of astonishment: "Wasteland Reclamation Order?!" ”

Wang Xuan nodded, "That's right, the imperial treasury is empty, the royal family is deadlocked, the border army cannot act recklessly, and when the feudal magic is stolen, the chaos in the rivers and lakes has been revealed, and the ministers of the court and the central government have come up with an idea." ”

"In the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, there are countless minerals in thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and relics and treasures are everywhere, just because of the abundance of evil spirits and the constraints of imperial power, only the family and some local forces are secretly mining."

"The land reclamation order is equivalent to lifting the restrictions, and the local government and military can develop it at will, as long as half of the revenue goes to the national treasury, the rest can be used at will."

"What a plan to kill three birds with one stone!"

Guo Luquan pouted and said: "Fat the treasury, full of the family, the government army wants to open up the wasteland, but also needs to expand its strength, not to mention that it has to fight against evil spirits in various places, the imperial court family controls the central border army, and is not worried about raising disasters." ”

"No wonder the Jianghu Dharma Vein is crazy, it turns out that he wants to get a piece of the pie!"

After that, he looked at Wang Xuan: "My lord, there is no movement in the three parties at the moment, Zhao Duwei is afraid that he will become a sacrifice, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's simple."

Wang Xuan silently looked out the window, "Fight!"
