Chapter 15: The Cross Tattoo Case Is Unfinished?
Early in the morning, Chen Ke woke up from the broken temple early, Old Man Li was still lying on the side and asleep, Chen Ke picked up the coat on the side and covered Old Man Li.
"Teacher, I'm on duty."
After Chen Ke finished speaking, he walked out of the door, closed the door carefully, and ran back to the city.
Old man Li opened his eyes and chuckled. He pulled up his coat, changed his position, and went back to sleep.
Chen Ke returned to the inn and didn't see Sister-in-law Qin come out, and as soon as he walked to Sister-in-law Qin's door, he heard a few quarrels with suppressed voices.
"You give me a little more time, and when I handle the affairs of Beijing, I will give you an explanation."
The door opened, Chen Ying, who was dressed in a brocade robe, came out of it, and when he saw that it was Chen Ke, Chen Ying nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
Chen Ke looked inside the door, and Sister-in-law Qin showed a pale smile: "I'm back, the food left for you is in the kitchen, I'll help you heat it up." ”
Chen Ke said: "I'll go and heat it myself, you just quarreled with Brother Chen Ying?" ”
Sister-in-law Qin smiled, shook her head and said, "There is no quarrel, it is to discuss Xiaobao's enrollment." You also know that he is busy with official business, and I am asking him to find time to help Xiaobao choose a good gentleman. ”
"That's right."
Chen Ke nodded and went to the kitchen to heat up his own meal.
Sister-in-law Qin didn't want to talk about family matters, although Chen Ke wanted to help her, but Sister-in-law Qin was protecting Chen Ying's face, and Chen Ke couldn't take the initiative to tear apart the contradiction between Sister-in-law Qin and Chen Ying.
"Forget it, I can't help too much with this kind of family matter, as long as Sister-in-law Qin can live better and not be bullied by Chen Ying!" Chen Ke wanted to help, but he didn't know how to help.
It's not good for anyone to tear apart this dangerous relationship.
After a quick meal, Chen Ke went back and glanced at the broken wood given by Old Man Li, which was boxy and missing a corner, as if it had been cut off by a sword.
"I still don't see what kind of treasure this is."
Chen Ke muttered, closed the door, and headed towards the yamen.
When he came to the yamen and changed into his errand clothes, Chen Ke was about to go to duty when he saw Dali Siqing coming from the back hall.
Dali Siqing was dressed in white, with an extraordinary bearing, walked over with a smile, and said after seeing Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you feeling?" ”
Chen Ke said: "It's okay, thank you Lord Situ for helping me slash the enemy." ”
Dali Siqing smiled: "You're welcome! Actually, I have always felt that if these cultivators have too much power, they will break the law and discipline, alas, I didn't expect that something terrible would happen and harm your hometown. ”
Chen Ke said: "Lord Situ, I am also cultivating immortals with an old immortal, but I will not violate the law!" ”
After hearing this, Dali Siqing smiled and said, "Is it Li Laodao in the west of the city?" He's a liar, don't be fooled. It's just a pity that you have spiritual charm, but your spiritual veins are blocked, and you can't practice in this life. Otherwise, it's okay to practice with me. ”
Chen Ke said: "The teacher is not a liar, he is really an immortal, and he also told me that one of the realms of cultivators is qi refining, do you know?" ”
"Qi Refining Realm." Dali Siqing smiled and nodded, "Of course I know, but not only I know, but even your Lord Long, as well as the white guards, they all know that the first realm of a cultivator is the Qi Refining Realm, and if you become a cultivator of the Qi Refining Realm, you will be called an immortal master by ordinary people!" ”
Chen Ke wanted to tell Dali Siqing that his teacher was not a liar, but looking at Dali Siqing's appearance, he was obviously preconceived and would not believe Chen Ke's justification at all.
It's useless to say more, Chen Ke no longer defends, as long as he understands that the teacher is not a liar, but a real old immortal.
Chen Ke arched his hand slightly and said, "Lord Situ, my time on duty is almost up, so I won't disturb you." ”
Dali Siqing nodded and said: "I see that you are eager to ask for immortals, if you have time, it is better to go to Ansheng Palace and report my name, maybe you can learn some Taoism to enhance qi and blood." ”
"Thank you, Lord Situ." After Chen Ke thanked him, he went to the back office to be on duty.
Dali Siqing looked at Chen Ke's departing back, smiled, and walked out of the back hall leisurely with his hands behind his back.
At noon, after eating, Long Tu came to find Chen Ke with a few guards.
"Your Excellency." Greetings from Chen Ke.
Long Tu smiled: "Chen Ke, how have you recovered in the past few days?" Can revenge be fulfilled? ”
Chen Ke said: "Almost." I have hatred in my heart, but I don't obsess about it. The murderer has been ambushed, and he will no longer cling to this matter. I just hope that Zhao Jia's death will make the neighbors and aunts in his hometown and the innocent and tragic deaths blind. ”
"Well, that's good." Long Tu looked at the white guard and smiled, and then said to Chen Ke, "If you think so, I'm not worried." However, what I want to tell you is that the Cross Tattoo Man has another fish that has slipped through the net, and I have asked the Tiger Army to catch it. ”
"And!" When Chen Ke heard this, his face was surprised, and he said, "Isn't it only the people who returned to Shanyin County who participated in the massacre? ”
Long Tu said: "It is true that only the people of Shanyin who have returned are involved, but this fish that has slipped through the net is not a person who has retired from the army, and he Zhao Jia is a retired person from the army who has been collected halfway, and he is a good family." ”
Zhao Jiachu not only recruited the retired soldiers from Shanyin County, but also recruited the normally retired soldiers to join his organization.
This point made Long Tu and the Criminal Department unexpected.
"It was asked during the criminal trial in Dali Temple, and Brother Situ came to tell me about it today." Long Tu said.
Chen Ke nodded, it turned out that the reason why Dali Siqing came to Jingzhao Mansion was this matter.
Long Tu looked at Chen Ke and said, "I have always suspected that Zhao Jiachu still has accomplices, and hearing about this today can be regarded as confirming my guess." ”
Bai Guard looked at Chen Ke with a smile and said: "Your case is the most sensational in the past five years, don't look at you all day in the palace, you can't feel anything, but the court, the capital, and the two capitals have already heard about your case." The slaughter of ordinary villages and towns by cultivators is truly shocking! ”
"Adults also attach great importance to this matter, even if Zhao Jiachu has been ambushed, but adults are still scrutinizing the whole case, motives, reasons, premeditation, and many things have been paying attention."
Chen Ke heard the words of the white guard, and bowed to Long Tu: "Thank you, my lord." ”
Long Tu raised his hand, so that Chen Ke didn't need to salute: "This is the business of this mansion, Zhao Jia's slaughter of your village is not accidental, and this mansion will continue to investigate some of the details." ”
After Long Tu finished speaking, he asked with a smile: "Listen to Zhang Huwei, you recently practiced the immortal method with Daochang Li in the west of the city?" ”
Chen Ke nodded, he felt that there was no need to hide it from others in his cultivation, and he was also a good person like Long Tu.
"Yes, sir." Chen Ke said, "Teacher, he is a real immortal, and he has passed on to me the invincible immortal method, does Lord Long want to learn it?" ”
Long Tu and Bai Guard glanced at each other, and Long Tu said with a smile: "Although this mansion is not a cultivator, but this mansion knows that the cultivation sect is very taboo about the spread of the immortal law, if you teach me the immortal method, will your master be angry?" ”
Chen Ke shook his head and smiled: "The teacher won't be angry, I asked, and he said that if someone can learn, it is fate." ”
"Oh, in that case, I'd like to see your immortal method." Long Tu said with a smile.
The white guard was also very curious, he inquired about the deeds of the old man Li in the west of the city, and the fish seller and the innkeeper all said that the old man Li was a liar, and he would coax the child to pay for the sugar gourd.
But those children believed that Old Man Li was a fairy, and one child even took the ancestral jade pendant to buy Old Man Li's book to support him, but unfortunately he was beaten by the child's mother and asked the jade pendant back from Old Man Li's hands.
The White Guards have always been cautious about cultivators, who have unrivaled power over mortals, ready to subvert the law and make the court at a loss.
Chen Ke's demeanor returned to calm: "My lord, it's easy to learn from me." ”
Long Tu also became more and more curious about what immortal Dao Li would teach Chen Ke. As for whether Old Man Li is a liar or not, Long Tu can't be sure. He had never been in contact with it, nor did he understand the method of cultivation, so he did not dare to make conclusions easily.
Long Tu followed Chen Ke and began to breathe slowly.
"Yes, that's it, inhale...... Exhale. ”
After practicing for a while, Long Tu stretched out his hand to stop Chen Ke's thought of continuing: "Chen Ke, don't teach, this house is old, and I can't learn." Maybe this is the immortal method that your teacher specially created for you, and we can't learn it. I still have official business, so I'll go first. ”
Long Tu left with the white guards, Chen Ke felt a little pity, if Lord Long was such a good official, if he could live forever and always be the master of the people, it would be a good thing to truly benefit the world.
Without thinking about it anymore, Chen Ke went to rest, there was still a little time before he started on duty.
Long Tu and Bai Guard walked to the front and asked with a smile, "Do you think the immortal method that Chen Ke learned is real?" ”
The white guard shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I just followed Chen Ke to learn to breathe and breathe, and I feel no different from our ordinary breathing." ”
Long Tu said: "I hope this Daoist Li is a true immortal." I want to see if Brother Chen Ke has entered the path of cultivation, can he let those immortal master cultivators who come around restrain themselves. ”
After hearing this, the white guard smiled and shook his head: "My lord, this is not as good as letting the Ansheng Palace restrain the cultivators. ”
"Ansheng Palace?" Long Tu shook his head and said, "They are too mysterious to meddle in the world. Let's go, let's go ahead and check the cross tattoo stuff, I always feel like there's something big in it that we don't know about! ”
Long Tu and the white guards went to the front and continued to investigate the cross tattoo case.
The southeast corner outside the capital.
Inside the old gazebo.
The man in the white robe looked at the few black-clothed people who bowed their heads, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ke's matter has been concluded, and no one is allowed to interfere in this matter anymore." If you have a bad plan, it will be a great sin for you to wait. ”
These black-clothed men had cross tattoos on their faces, and they looked fierce, but at this moment, they respectfully bowed their hands and said, "Yes, we will obey the holy order!" ”
