Chapter 140: There is no doubt about the guilt
Although the Daxuan Imperial Court successively deposed most of the old systems of the previous dynasties, such as the Guards, the Twenty-Four Yamen of the Inner Court, etc., it also inherited a considerable part of the system, such as the road introduction system.
The so-called road guide, all people who are far away from the place of residence 100 miles away, must be issued by the local yamen such as a letter of introduction, a permit and the like, for the purpose of road guidance, if there is no road guide or does not conform to it, it is to be punished according to the law. The guide is actually proof of leaving home.
With the flourishing of trade on land and sea, there was a high movement of people, and this should have been a deposed system. However, because of the prosperity of the secret association, the imperial court and the Taoist sect still retained the system of road guidance in order to facilitate the arrest of the members of the secret association.
The black-clothed people, Qingluanwei, Taoist priests, and meritorious scholars do not need to be guided, and can travel freely, but they need to show identification, such as the Taoist priest's urn and the black-clothed man's waist card.
Qi Xuansu entered the city to live in the hotel, using the identity of Wei Wugui, and the prefect's yamen easily found out about this, and quickly reported to the Taiping Building, and Zhang Yuelu naturally learned about it.
As for the conflict between Zhang Yuelu and Yuan Shangdao, under the mediation of Pei Xiaolou, both sides took a step back.
After Zhang Yuelu learned of Wei Wugui's whereabouts, she felt that it took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, but she did not forget that it was Pei Xiaolou who issued the pass token to Wei Wugui, and Pei Xiaolou happened to appear here quite strangely and suspiciously, so she did not show interest in Wei Wugui in front of Pei Xiaolou, but found an excuse and offered to help the Yuan family rescue Yuan Fengchan, which was regarded as an apology.
Yuan Shangdao didn't refuse, in fact, being lost face by Zhang Yuelu is not something unacceptable, as soon as Zhang Yuelu's status and identity are there, her temperament has also been heard. Second, with Li Tianzhen Zhuyu in front, even the dignified son of the Li family has endured it, what can't others bear? Could it be that he is more noble than Li Tianzhen?
So Zhang Yuelu left Jiangling Mansion like this, and ran with all his might, even a few points faster than the galloping horse, and finally caught up with Qi Xuansu, who was ambushed.
Zhang Yuelu doesn't like fire guns as much as Qi Xuansu, she prefers ancient bows and arrows, and archery skills are quite good, at this time, she turned into a bow and arrow with "phaseless paper", first shot and killed the Denghua monk with an arrow, and then according to the level of cultivation in the realm, she successively shot and killed the thunderbolt Taoist and Zhou lame. The rest of the people don't have to worry about it.
This is actually a sneak attack, if it is a head-to-head fight, even if the lantern flower monk is not Zhang Yuelu's opponent, he will not lose his life in a face, but the lantern flower monk has no defense, just as in the first place on the bank of the Tongtian River, Zhang Yuelu was not guarded, and was also injured by two Lingshan witch sect women who were not high in cultivation, Qi Xuansu even relied on the sneak attack to kill an opponent who was one realm higher than himself.
However, Zhang Yuelu did not kill Wei Wugui in her eyes, in her opinion, Wei Wugui was involved in a wide range of things, and he had to be captured alive.
When the rest of the people saw this, they didn't know who shouted and fled.
Song Luodi, who had been hiding in the shadows, did not hesitate to use the method of excavation, and disappeared in an instant.
Only Qi Xuansu stayed where he was, turned around and looked at Zhang Yuelu, fortunately, because he was wearing sunglasses, he covered the surprise and complexity in his eyes.
Zhang Yuelu slowly walked towards Qi Xuansu with a longbow in his hand, and the paper arrow he shot flew up on its own and returned to its body if it was spiritual.
Qi Xuansu was a little nervous, although he didn't know why Zhang Yuelu appeared here, but he didn't think it was a simple coincidence, he still remembered that Zhang Yuelu noticed some problems in his past through a few pages of files, forcing him to half-truthfully say that his master was killed, so he barely covered up the past.
As a lesson from the past, it is difficult to guarantee whether Zhang Yuelu has noticed any clues this time.
Zhang Yuelu stopped three zhang away from Qi Xuansu, and the longbow in his hand turned into a lock of paper, wrapped around his wrist.
The two stood across from each other.
There was purple air in Zhang Yuelu's eyes.
This is the "Immortal Qi Technique" of the immortals, if it is an ordinary means of disguise, it can only change its appearance, and it cannot hide its breath, so it is natural to be recognized by Zhang Yuelu at a glance, but Qi Xuansu is wearing the white fox face mask left by Su Ran at this time, hiding all the breath, making Zhang Yuelu return in vain.
"You're Wei Wugui?" Zhang Yuelu finally asked.
Qi Xuansu's voice was old: "There are no ghosts in Xia Wei, thank you girl for helping, haven't you asked the girl's surname yet?" ”
Qi Xuansu recognized Zhang Yuelu, but Wei Wugui didn't recognize Zhang Yuelu, this was the first time Wei Wugui had seen Zhang Yuelu.
In a very short period of time, Qi Xuansu had calmed down, he temporarily suppressed all kinds of complex emotions, and did not do anything stupid to break Zhang Yuelu's name, pretending not to recognize Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu and replied, "My name is Zhang Yuelu. ”
"It turned out to be Master Zhang, the youngest deputy hall master of the Daomen, who has admired his name for a long time." Qi Xuansu immediately "suddenly realized".
Zhang Yuelu was not surprised that Wei Wugui had heard of his name, and asked again, "Why did you kill Wan Xiuwu?" ”
Qi Xuansu asked rhetorically, "Who is Wan Xiuwu?" ”
Zhang Yuelu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Is Wei Wugui so old?" ”
Qi Xuansu took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of dim old eyes: "I don't understand what Master Zhang means by this. ”
"You went from Yanze to Xiping Mansion, on the way to get acquainted with the eighth day of Yang, met Qin Wuxi, and then went to Xijing Mansion, 'Ghost Pass', Longmen Mansion, Zixian Mountain, there are not a few people who have seen you, they all say that you are a young man, how can you be an old man?" Zhang Yuelu stared at Qi Xuansu's eyes, intending to judge what Qi Xuansu was thinking through the changes in Qi Xuansu's eyes.
Qi Xuansu was shocked in his heart, he never expected that Zhang Yuelu had already mastered his whereabouts all the way, he lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyebrows, and replied: "It's just the usual disguise when walking the rivers and lakes, it's nothing." ”
"The fact that disguise can deceive so many people shows that it is very clever. In that case, are you transfiguring it out now? Zhang Yuelu suddenly took a step forward.
Qi Xuansu's body tensed suddenly, and then he took a step back: "What does Master Zhang mean by this?" ”
It's not that he doesn't want to recognize Zhang Yuelu, but he can't recognize each other now, Pei Xiaolou has promised that he will let him return to Daomen openly through the relationship between Donghua Zhenren, and he will naturally be able to meet Zhang Yuelu when the time comes. So why did he reveal his true identity at such a time and in such a place?
Zhang Yuelu smiled coldly: "To be a thief? ”
Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice: "I don't know what misunderstanding there is, but since Master Zhang said that I am a thief, I must always come up with evidence. ”
Zhang Yuelu's eyes flashed, this is where she is embarrassed, there is no suspicion of guilt, who advocates who adduces evidence, she deduced Wei Wugui's whereabouts through many clues, suspecting that Wei Wugui was a member of the secret association and killed Wan Xiuwu, but there is a lack of real evidence to corroborate, take the eighth day of raising as an example, Zhang Yuelu used a little trick to get out of the mouth of the eighth day of raising, but the eighth day of raising will never be used as a witness to identify Qi Xuansu, let alone draw a testimony, which is equivalent to no evidence.
Then speculation is just speculation, and Wei Wugui cannot be officially arrested.
Some people may say that Zhang Yuelu is pedantic, and with her status, she can directly order the Taoist temples around the country to arrest Wei Wugui. Not to mention the damage to the justice and majesty of the Daomen law, but from the perspective of feasibility, it is not very realistic.
If it's just an ordinary person, it's not impossible, but knowing that Wei Wugui's backer is Pei Xiaolou, why does Zhang Yuelu think that he can capture Wei Wugui through the power of the Dao Gate in the territory of the Quanzhen Dao?
Is the Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Tao the brother who recognizes Donghua Zhenren? Or do you recognize Zhang Yuelu, who was born in Zhengyi?
Although Zhang Yuelu was blue-eyed by the earth master, Donghua Zhenren is the second person in the Quanzhen Dao after the earth master, and is expected to compete for the Great Palm Sect, even if the competition for the Great Master Sect fails, he can inherit the position of the Earth Master. And they are inseparable, Zhang Yuelu is not the local teacher, but Pei Xiaolou is the brother of Donghua Zhenren.
It is clear which is more important at a glance.
In the end, it could only be Zhang Yuelu who took action personally.
Qi Xuansu's gaze never left the lock of paper on Zhang Yuelu's wrist, and his hands reached back.
