Chapter 31: The aftermath is stormy
The world is bustling, all for the name,
The world is crowded, all for profit.
Especially as this Beijing official, he needs silver for personal contacts, and he needs silver for pomp and circumstance, how can he maintain his dignity today with the little money of the imperial court.
They are not like local officials, they have clan support behind them, and they have thousands of acres of fertile land.
Therefore, the existence of Yichonghui and temple incense soup kitchen can prosper.
Now there is a fire, and everything is over.
Some people just have heartache in their eyes, and some people simply roll their eyes and faint......
And the woman who was in charge of wealth lay on the ground, wailing and weeping, and scolded heaven and earth......
The scene was chaotic for a while.
Although Yin Zuo Mingqiu of Jingzhao Mansion was dissatisfied with Guo An, when he saw this situation, his face was also dark, "They are all officials of the imperial court, what kind of system do they become, go back, wait for the news!" ”
After all, it is from the third grade, and as soon as the official authority is swinged, these people dare not be disobedient, sigh, and leave one after another.
Zuo Mingqiu glanced at Guo An again, and said lightly: "Since Lord Guo said that it is a matter of confidentiality, it is inconvenient for the official to ask more, and then you explain it to the emperor!" ”
With that, he turned around and left with the people.
"Humph! Wine bag rice bag..."
The white-eyed eagle with the big bow on his back snorted coldly and sneered unceremoniously.
This person's name is Xu Bai, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the killer of the gods, and he is not good at solving cases, but he is only good at chasing the murderer, which makes many green forest thieves frightened.
The scholar is called Zhuge Wanjun, who is as meticulous as a hair, and has repeatedly solved unsolved cases, but few people in the yamen dare to call him by his full name, only called Zhuge Shenzhu.
Huo Feng's face became even more ugly when he heard this.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin's words couldn't be clearer, this pot would be thrown to the six doors, and he, as the person in charge of the night patrol, naturally couldn't escape the blame.
But to his surprise, Guo An, the chief catcher, did not blame, but turned around and said: "After the fire is extinguished, go in and search, and you can't let go of any clues." ”
"I'll go into the palace, Zhuge is in charge here, if I find it..."
Halfway through his words, he took a deep breath, his face gloomy, and strode away.
The head hunters heard it inexplicably, but seeing Guo An's suppressed anger, who dared to talk more.
The fire lasted for an hour before it was slowly extinguished, and only the ruins and green smoke of the century-old temple remained.
Zhuge Shenyu led the team, and everyone used iron hooks to pick up those scorched earth ashes and open up a path.
The goal, straight to the stupa.
Zhang Biao knew that Guo An, the chief catcher, had probably informed the two gods of the Lianhuazong.
Picking up the ruins, a half-charred corpse suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and many people had sharp eyes and immediately gasped.
"It's Fang Shenzhuo..."
"How could it be..."
"Shut up!"
Zhuge Shenzhu scolded angrily, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Be careful to restrain Fang Shenzhuo's corpse." ”
"Dig, dig three feet into the ground for me!"
…………
Imperial City, Qionghua Palace.
The palace was renovated 10 years ago.
The terrain is much higher than other palaces, which can not only avoid the damp evil atmosphere, but also climb high and look far away, and enjoy the scenery of the capital.
Especially when the morning fog rises, the sun is rising, large and small buildings looming, and the sun shines like a fairyland.
Since the old age of Emperor Zhao Mian, the early dynasty of the Beichen Hall has been decreasing day by day, usually by several prime ministers and Shangshu to summarize the important things in the court, and then come to the Qionghua Hall to play.
Guo An came to the outside of the palace and informed the guards and eunuchs, so he waited for the emperor to summon him with peace of mind.
He was accompanied by several important ministers of the DPRK and China.
Pei Yuanji, a member of the middle school, looked at him, stroked his beard and shook his head: "Last night was really lively. ”
"The fire in Zhaoguo Temple, Jin Wuwei also reported that ghosts and monsters are doing strange things, Lord Guo, it seems that Beijing has been a little unpeaceful recently..."
Guo An was silent for a moment, and arched his hand: "It's a dereliction of duty, and I'm about to ask the emperor for guilt." ”
"Pei Zhongshu."
The old man next to him opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The six doors have always been conscientious, and this matter is not their fault, so there is no need to be harsh." ”
"Now the weather in various states is changing, the grain harvest is in short supply in many places, and next year is a famine. It is still necessary to focus on this matter. ”
The old man's face is dignified, with white hair and white beard, and a purple robe goldfish bag, which is none other than Prime Minister Liu Ji.
Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, he has been assisting by his side, and he can be described as a pillar of the court and highly respected.
"Liu Xianggong is reasonable."
Pei Yuanji nodded in agreement and said no more.
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came, bowed his head and said, "Lord Guo, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”
Guo An arched his hand at a few people and strode into the Qionghua Palace.
Leaving several important ministers looking at each other.
It stands to reason that they should enter the temple, but it was Guo An who later had to summon them first.
There is only one possibility for this: a confidential matter.
The six doors have a special status, which is not only independent of the court, but also specializes in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and also takes into account the handling of cases and espionage intelligence.
After all, he is a group of martial artists, and he has a bit of a habit of rivers and lakes in the court, and he is not liked by the officials.
But when he really encounters a major event, he can meet the emperor directly without going through any yamen.
Pei Yuanji said thoughtfully: "It seems that the fire in Zhaoguo Temple has another hidden ......"
…………
In the Qionghua Palace, the golden dragon is wrapped around the pillars, the sandalwood is swirling, the autumn morning is cold, and the copper furnace is lit everywhere, which makes the hall extremely warm.
On the viewing platform on the side of the hall, an old man in yellow is sipping fragrant tea, looking at the jade capital city in the morning light.
In the distance, the smoke of the temple was unusually conspicuous.
He is the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, Zhao Mian, although he fell ill in the southern and northern wars when he was young, and now he is gray-haired, but he is still tall and extraordinary.
Seeing Guo An coming in, he didn't rush to ask, but said lightly: "Guo Aiqing seems to have been busy all night, Mo Yan, let someone get some food." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A brocade-clothed eunuch next to him with a handsome and fair face, a boy and a girl, nodded and left.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."
Guo An bowed deeply.
Emperor Zhao Mian smiled and said: "Autumn is dry and dry, and it is not uncommon to catch fire, what are you guilty of?" ”
"This is not a natural disaster..."
Guo An did not hide it, he found that Lianhuazong was hidden, sent someone to investigate, and told the story in detail about the startling snake.
"Lotus Blossom Sect..."
Zhao Mian shook his head thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, when Emperor Jing was in power, these monks were powerful, and they were also involved in the rebellion of King Zhou. ”
"I never thought that I would hide under my nose for so many years..."
"The minister is guilty!"
Guo An bowed his head again and pleaded guilty.
Emperor Zhao Mian smiled dumbly, "Others say that you are a sound worm, when you were young, where did the hero who killed the golden horde of the grassland go?" ”
After that, he sighed, "Since the vision of the Black Sun and Blood Moon, natural disasters have occurred frequently in various places, strange things have continued, and these remnants of rebellion are also ready to move..."
"Why, you say?"
Guo An sweated on his forehead, how dare he answer.
Emperor Zhao Mian was silent for a while, his eyes instantly became gloomy, he slowly got up, came to the terrace, looked at the boundless jade capital, and said in a deep voice:
"I, I don't care about the name behind me, it doesn't matter if I call a faint king after a hundred years, but this big Liang Jiangshan can't have an accident in my hands."
"None of the princes have any potential, I'm really annoyed..."
Guo An bowed his head deeply and did not say a word.
In this case, an old minister who knows how to govern the country should persuade the emperor to appoint a prince as soon as possible, let go of some powers, and train the prince.
It's a pity that the last one said this turned into a pile of rotten meat in the prison...
"Humph!"
Emperor Zhao Mian snorted coldly, turned his head suddenly, and said with gloomy eyes: "I grant you privileges." ”
"Check!"
"Find out what these demons and bandits are going to do to my country!"
…………
Bang Dang!
Throwing the horizontal knife on the wooden table casually, Zhang Biao breathed a long sigh of relief, lying on the bed and not wanting to move.
Outside the window, the sunlight has set in the west.
In Zhaoguo Temple, I was busy for most of the day.
That Zhuge God caught and asked everyone to dig under the pagoda, not to mention digging three feet into the ground.
After digging three meters and not finding it, he ordered to recruit the people of Zhaoguofang, and hundreds of people excavated.
After digging for more than ten meters, the high earth and rocks were piled up into a mountain, and nothing was found.
I don't know what means the Lianhua Sect used to completely destroy this section of the tunnel in Zhaoguofang.
Zhang Biao has a map.
But he knew what was down there, the Skeleton Camp Jedi, which was not accessible to anyone at all, and once provoked, who knew what trouble would happen.
There is also the Lianhua Sect, even the Shadowless God Capture Fang Ying will die tragically, and it is estimated that only by mobilizing the army can it be exterminated.
However, there are some things that are not up to him.
Guo An, the chief catcher, has returned, and on the order of the emperor, he issued a summoning order, ordering several gods to gather elite silver medal catchers and make every effort to track down Lianhuazong.
This move is mostly for revenge.
He didn't know the shadowless god trap well, and he didn't see the dragon in the other direction, and he didn't even have much to do with his father.
But this shadowless god hunt is indeed Guo Anlao's subordinates at the head of the headquarters, and Zhuge God hunt and others, who have accompanied the emperor on an expedition and were born and died. It is regarded as stepping into the army from the rivers and lakes, and it is assigned to six gates.
Tracking down the Lianhua Sect has become the top priority of the six gates today, bringing together many elites.
And the other cases in Jingzhong were naturally handed over to them to catch the bronze medals, and the only exception was to track down the Killing Sect, which was in charge of another god hunting Xu Bai.
What an eventful time...
Zhang Biao shook his head slightly, got up to boil medicine and refine qi, and did not stop until the meridians were slightly suffocated.
Qi refining was not an overnight effort, and even so, he could feel obvious progress.
Increased number of psionic eye uses.
The Sanyang True Fire has a vague sense of gestation, as long as it is successfully ignited, there will be means to deal with those evil things.
Thinking of this, Zhang Biao took out the face beam from his arms, examined it carefully, and slowly put it on his face.
Nowadays, there is no cold and biting feeling.
But the inheritance of it still can't be opened.
According to the message of the Spiritual Eye, "Jiangliang eats and dies", this thing must devour ghosts in order to be opened.
Since Xiao San's death, Grandma Wu has not been entangled, and besides, he pities his life experience and does not want to take it as the first sacrifice.
Lianhua Sect, Yi Chonghui, Li Fu Evil Arts...
Those hidden inheritances were ready to be moved, and he had to obtain the magic inheritance as soon as possible.
After the Sanyang True Fire is lit, you can act.
But where are you going to find this sacrifice?
