Shang Qing woke up quietly, smelled the scent of sandalwood in the air, which made him slightly uncomfortable, and when he opened his eyes, Sanxiao Niangniang's colored sculpture came into view.

He staggered to his feet, scanned his surroundings with great vigilance, his head a little heavy and swollen, and he stumbled and almost fell.

When I looked down, I actually kicked Dongfang Xi's long legs.

At this time, Dongfang Xi and the two fell to the ground and slept soundly, he was speechless for a while, shaking the two of them awake.

Dongfang Xi covered his head, opened his sleepy eyes, and was a little confused: "Big brother, why did I fall asleep?" ”

Qin Shiyue got up dizzily, and he didn't understand what had happened here.

Shang Qing stretched out his hand and pulled Dongfang Xi and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

At this moment, Shang Qing could figure out on his tiptoes what the psychic talisman was, it was clearly a talisman made by adding drugs, and it also made him hallucinate. I didn't expect that the spiritual blessing of the dignified Niangniang Shrine would also do the next thing of robbing the house.

He found that the old lady Lingzhu, who sold incense and candles, was sitting alone behind the incense and candle case, and angrily rushed over to question one or two, but when he took a closer look, he found that the other party's eyes were round and terrified.

Dongfang Xi stretched out his finger to probe tentatively, and suddenly exclaimed: "Dead!" ”

Qin Shiyue angrily smashed a hammer on the desk, the desk broke in response, the old woman fell to the ground, countless rune papers floated down, and bamboo cards and incense candles were scattered all over the place.

Shang Qing fell into deep thought, who saved them?

Qin Shiyue had already turned around and walked out of the Niangniang Temple, called the officials of Heshanfang, and soon the news of the death of the Niangniang Temple in Tongling Lane spread, and people talked about it.

Fang Cheng ordered the temporary blockade of the Niangniang Temple.

Inside the office of the Harmony Square Department.

Fang Cheng lowered his head and carefully explained: "Qin Zhutou, Sanxiao Niangniang Temple has been in Tongling Lane for more than 30 years, it is quite effective, there are many pilgrims who go there, and the spiritual blessings in the temple are all sealed by the saints, and the subordinates can't imagine that the other party is so bold and dares to rob the pilgrims as Lingzhu......"

One hundred and eight squares in Yujing City, each square has a bureau, which belongs to the Jingzhao Mansion, Qin Shiyue, as the head of the Jingzhao Mansion, is a serious eight-grade official, and Fang Cheng is just an official.

Qin Shiyue raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Is this a robbery?" It's clearly killing people and overselling goods! There was an assassination of a saint before, and now there is a murder of pilgrims by Lingzhu, do you want Lu Fu Yin to come to Heshanfang to drink tea? ”

Fang Cheng buried his head and lowered it by three points, obviously the other party was really angry, and he didn't know how to answer.

Shang Qing on the side suddenly spoke: "Qin Zhutou, something is wrong!" ”

The information they had received in the past two days had been provided by the Eighth Group of the Wei Qiansi, and it was impossible for the other party to give them false information.

Gu Baimen was not in Tongling Lane at all.

And the spirit of the Niangniang Temple may be an assassin himself.

Shang Qing guessed that behind Gu Baimen, there must be a person who is helping her, and the other party concluded that they came to Tongling Alley, and Qin Shiyue would inevitably enter the Niangniang Temple, and he was extremely good at manipulating people's hearts.

The other party released false information to lure them here, probably in order to extinguish the mouth. Thinking of this, Shang Qing broke out in a cold sweat, if there was no rescue from the mysterious person, the three of them would probably have been imprisoned and slaughtered.

Through the old woman's hallucinogenic talisman, he once again remembered Wangyu's illusion and the means by which the tiger demon in Yishan cast the illusion, could there be any connection between the three?

Qin Shiyue turned his head, interrupted his thoughts, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Shiyue's idea was very simple, that Lingzhu must have bad intentions when he saw wealth, because the treasure money he was carrying on his body was all looted and put on the old woman's body.

"We were fooled, Gu Baimen never came to Tongling Alley at all." Shang Qing said with annoyance.

Dongfang Xi, who was drinking tea, was startled by Shang Qing's words and choked and coughed.

Shang Qing was suddenly a little discouraged, since Gu Baimen escaped from Mingde Gate, it was like a fish entering the sea and disappeared without a trace, but they had been led by the nose of the other party.

The other party always seems to be one step ahead of them.

The city gate captain of Mingdemen committed suicide at home, which was the beginning of the matter.

Next, the Lu craftsman family was arranged to go out of the city in advance.

Cui Siye directly chose to take medicine to demonize.

After returning to the city, the sudden attack of the captain of Yunmengmen, Yao Jingsheng killed without warning!

All of this seems to be enough to prove the terrifying power of the people in the shadows.

An unreal thought suddenly appeared in Shang Qing's mind: Gu Baimen entered Beijing to assassinate the saint, maybe it was also a move made by that person.

Thinking of this, Shang Qing's spirit was shocked, his eyes bloomed, and after five years of silence, he encountered such a challenging thing, and there was a strong fighting spirit in his heart, and he stood up: "Qin Zhutou, third brother, let's go to Tingfeng Teahouse and meet the people of Zheng Mansion for a while." ”

The three of them left the office and walked in the market on the west bank of Heshanfang, the moonlight was like frost.

In Qin Shiyue's impression, this place is always brightly lit, and the candle oil that burns all night is mixed with everyone's smells, especially the smell of fat powder on the women who are dressed up in flowers, which makes him very uncomfortable, and he wants to find out.

There are seven or eight green buildings in the third and fourth classes on the west bank, most of which are named after "class", "building" and "shop".

In the market, the noisy sound of silk and bamboo, the singing of warblers and swallows, the laughter of pedestrians, the shouts of merchants, the sound of vulgar and obscene quarrels, and the sound of clever laughter like silver bells are in the ears.

Soliciting customers, singing, hawking, drinking, juggling, walking, all kinds of sentient beings, on the contrary, have more to talk about because of what happened in the Niangniang Temple.

Tingfeng Tea House is in Qinghefang, opposite Ping'an Fang, and is far away from Heshan Fang near Chengtianmen.

The three of them went to the carriage shop to rent a spacious carriage, and Qin Shiyue paid for it. The carriage shop is equipped with a coachman, and it is not expensive in the inner city, thirty copper coins.

Of course, if you are out of town, the price will be based on the distance of the trip.

Sitting in the carriage, Shang Qing relaxed and chatted with Dongfang Xi: "Third brother, I haven't asked you how old you are this year!" ”

Qin Shiyue automatically turned on the sleep mode, closed his eyes and rested, and his ears did not ask about things outside the window, let alone listen to things inside the window.

After returning from Wannian County, from his grandfather, he effortlessly got all the information about Shang Qing, and he no longer blocked the matter of the two worshipping, but gave birth to a kind of matchmaking. If it weren't for his grandfather to stop him, he would have been eager to tell Shang Qing about his cousin's birthday.

Dongfang Xi lightly opened his lips: "Eighteen, oh, no, it's nineteen." ”

Shang Qing smiled: "Is it eighteen or nineteen?" ”

Dongfang Xi thought seriously for a while: "It's not right, big brother, you see that I have words, it should be the year of the weak crown." ”

Shang Qing moved his body and leaned on Dongfang Xi, Dongfang Xi's face was a little unnatural, but he didn't move.

"Hahaha, third brother, you will be eighteen, nineteen, and twenty, and you will be confused." Shang Qing no longer bothered about the other party's age, and instead asked, "Third brother, you said that you are from Daxing Mansion, where is Daxing Mansion?" ”

Dongfang Xi pretended to have an exaggerated expression: "No! Big brother, you don't even know Daxing Mansion? ”

While the two were talking, time passed silently, and the driver of the car said: "Three sons, Tingfeng Teahouse has arrived." ”

The three of them got out of the carriage, and after the moon receded and the dark clouds receded, the night sky was hazy and drizzling.
