Chapter 284: Arriving at the Shifting Wood Palace
"Why did he rob the grain and grass? As the Ninth Elder of the Shifting Wood Palace, he should not be short of silver. Zhuang Qiyang asked puzzled.
"I don't know about this, you can ask him." Yun Medicine Master shook his head.
"No, you are also an Inner Gate Elder, even if he is a Ninth Elder, he will not be much more powerful than you, why do you want to listen to him?" Tang Wen asked.
"Well, the Council of Elders is generally composed of seven elders, and the Nine Elders are not qualified to enter the Council of Elders of the Shifting Wood Palace. He's not much better than you, so why do you listen to him? Zhuang Qiyang was stunned and glanced at Tang Wen.
"He's better than me, he's in charge of the mountain protection hall, and my family lives on the mountain, how dare you not listen to him?" Pharmacist Yun hurriedly said.
However, Tang Wen found that this popular villain was rambling.
Moreover, there is another shadow in the popularity, it is definitely not Ding Kui, there is another person.
"You're not honest." Tang Wendao.
"I didn't, I really didn't." Yun Yaoshi hurriedly shouted.
"There must be other reasons, are you jealous of Ding Kui's backer?" Tang Wendao.
"What backing does he have?" Yun Yaoshi hurriedly shook his head and said.
"It's the Second Elder!" Tang Wen suddenly roared.
"It's not!" Yun Pharmacist blurted out.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Yun Yao Shi reacted, and suddenly, he lowered his head.
"It's not the Second Elder, who is that person? Say it, say it well. Otherwise, your whole family will go to hell. Zhuang Qiyang was also stunned, and glanced at Tang Wen again before asking.
"Third Elder Sun Long, Sun Long has been covering him, how dare I resist." Yun Yao Shi said.
"Drag it down and take the medicine." After the Yun pharmacist signed the painting, Zhuang Qiyang waved his hand.
Next, Sun Hongqing and more than a dozen cronies were escorted to the field.
When he saw the confession of Yun Yaoshi, coupled with the torture instrument next to him, more than a dozen pleasure-greedy guys poured beans into the bamboo tube, and all of them were confessed.
"Who gave the medicine to the officers and men on board?" Tang Wen asked.
"The medicine was given by Pharmacist Yun, and it was the medicine that Yang Xiao and I sneaked onto the ship." Sun Hongqing said with a dead face.
"Why don't you be poisoned all at once?" Tang Wen asked.
"I don't know, it's what Pharmacist Yun confessed. It is said that there is no need to poison it, otherwise, the impact will be too great. Sun Hongqing said.
Sent someone to check with Pharmacist Yun again, and Pharmacist Yun confessed that it was 'Ding Mei' who confessed.
"It's normal to have this explanation, otherwise, all the officers and soldiers will poison you, and our six doors will definitely get a Ma Cha case." Zhuang Qiyang said.
"I'm afraid there is something else hidden." Tang Wendao.
"How do you say that?" Zhuang Qiyang asked.
"Because, the target they targeted was Wang Binfeng, the grain governor at the time." Tang Wen sneered.
"Joke, how powerful is a small grain inspector of the Chief Executive?
A seventh-grade petty official, his own martial arts are not high, what is the Yimu Palace doing against him?
If you really want to target him, you can solve it by sending someone at will.
Robbing the grain and grass of the official's mansion is a big thing, and it will punish the nine clans. Zhuang Qiyang snorted.
"That's because Wang Binfeng is Lord Tang's brother-in-law." Feng Jiuxue on the side said.
"Targeting you, sir?" Zhuang Qiyang was stunned.
"That's true." Tang Wen nodded.
"Hehe, what grievances do you have with the Shifting Wood Palace?
As far as you are like you, sir, the Shifting Wood Palace can't be guilty of plotting against your brother-in-law by robbing grain, what do they want?
Why not just go straight to you?
Do you still have the power to resist? Zhuang Qi raised his eyebrows and asked with a slightly contemptuous smile.
"Deputy Commander Zhuang, don't underestimate the lord, there are three island owners.
There are more than 10,000 men under his command.
It's a big deal, a lot of money, and there are subordinates in the second grade realm, and even this Liangzizhai has subdued him. Feng Jiuxue sneered.
"Hehe, that's all it takes to fight against the Shifting Wood Palace, just hitting the stone with an egg." Zhuang Qiyang said with a smile.
"I have nothing to do with Yimu Palace, that's because of Linghai Academy." Tang Wen shook his head and said.
"Linghai Academy, what does a academy have to do with you?" Zhuang Qiyang seemed to be interested.
"That's a long way to say, some time ago, Benjue went to Linghai Academy......" Tang Wen simply didn't hide it, and poured it all out.
"According to what you say, it was Linghai Academy who was behind the scenes, and Ding Kui, the ninth chief of the Yimu Palace, did it.
And as soon as Wang Binfeng fell, they pointed the finger at your sister Tang Yiyi again.
That's why there is a matter of pretending to be a ghost and whipping your sister.
This matter, according to what you say, will also involve Deputy Commander Kang. Zhuang Qiyang said.
"Eighty percent of the way! Therefore, Ding Kui must be arrested. Moreover, don't care what about the grievances between Linghai Academy and me, he is at least the mastermind of the grain robbery. Tang Wendao.
"Okay, this official is very interested, then go to the Shifting Wood Palace." Zhuang Qiyang slapped the table and said.
In the afternoon, the front came to report that the grain and grass had been found, and it was actually hidden in a cave not far from the Jiudao Liangzi Bend.
The cave was on the banks of the Red River, but it was quite peculiar.
From a distance, the entrance of the cave is more than a meter high from the river, and it is covered with vines, so you can't find it at all.
As soon as a person bends down to enter, the inside is open.
Sun Hongqing and his gang spread the boat on the water, and the people bent down to pass the grain and grass into it.
In this way, the gods hid all the grain in the cave in just a few hours.
The vines are down, unpredictable.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers searched for a long time, but they did not expect that the food was under their noses.
According to statistics, 6,700,000 taels of grain were basically there, and only a small part was lost.
In order not to startle the snake, Zhuang Qiyang did not touch the grain first, and asked people to guard it secretly.
Early the next morning, a group of people set off and went straight to the Yimu Palace.
Yimu Palace is one of the top ten sects within the scope of the Sea Sage, with strong strength and more than 10,000 disciples.
The sect is located in the "Tibetan Mountain", which is 100 miles away from Honghe City.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Tang Wen and his entourage arrived at Zangshan.
The Tibetan Mountain is not high, only five or six hundred meters, and from a distance, it is an endless mountain, dozens of miles long from east to west.
Surrounded by lush trees, the Shifting Wood Palace is perched on top of the highest mountain.
As the mountain climbed, they also built a mountain road about two feet wide.
It is also paved with a combination of crushed stone, hard mud, glutinous rice, lime and clay, the hardness is not bad, and the dust is also a lot less.
If you take a shortcut to the mountain, you have to take the stone steps, and the distance can be shortened by half.
When he was about to arrive at the Yimu Palace, he was stopped by the disciples who guarded the mountain, Zhuang Qiyang showed the token, and the disciples who guarded the mountains quickly entered the inner place to report.
Soon, the mountain gate opened, and Zhuang Qiyang rode up with his people.
Dangdangdang......
There was a gathering bell in the Yimu Palace, and when Tang Wen and his party arrived, there were thousands of majestic warriors standing outside the palace.
Some people are armed with swords, and some people carry firearms on their backs.
It is divided into two rows, and it continues to be a mile long.
There was a tall and thin man standing in front of the palace gate, wearing a wide black cloak fluttering in the wind, he was Zhang Li, the chief manager of the Yimu Palace.
"Hehehe, Deputy Zhuang Lingsi is here, and the walls of the Yimu Palace are shining." Zhang Li greeted him with a smile from afar.
"Zhuang has something to visit the palace master, is he there?" Zhuang Qiyang said.
"Not there! The palace master has not come back from a long trip, but the great elder is here, please inside. Zhang Li stretched out his hand and led Zhuang Qiyang to the main hall.
"You guys are waiting outside, Tang Wen and Feng Jiuxue will go in with me." Zhuang Qiyang said.
Naturally, Tang Wen and Feng Jiuxue followed closely behind and entered the hall.
As for Zhang Li, he didn't care about Tang Wen at all, although he was wearing a lord's hat, it was not surprising that there were also disciples with titles in the six doors.
Entering the main hall, the bluestone is paved, and the four walls are inlaid with flowers and plants.
Even the wall on the front and back of the main hall is inlaid with a strange tree, Tang Wen doesn't know what this tree is, but it is quite strange.
