Chapter 34: Cui Lao Dao offers advice

Jiao Xiong, Yujing City is not handsome.

This position is a bit special, he is not an official, he is not in the ranks, but it is not ordinary to be able to lead the bad people in the whole capital.

Jiao Xiong was originally in the rivers and lakes and green forests, and he had a bandit name of "Huosha", just because he followed the juggling team since he was a child, and he was the best at playing with fire.

Later, seeing that the opportunity was not good, he joined the water army, exterminated the chain of water villages, and made a lot of contributions, and the future was bright, but unfortunately he offended people and had no choice but to leave the army.

Appreciated by the predecessor Jingzhao Mansion Yin, the leader of the bad people, the fox society rat in Jingzhong City, saw it like a ghost.

"Brother Jiao..."

Seeing Jiao Xiong's arrival, the third child of the Hu family was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly shouted.

However, as soon as he said half a sentence, a bad man swung an iron rod and slashed it directly.

Syllable!

The third child of the Hu family suddenly had a mouth full of blood, his teeth fell to the ground, and he was pressed to the ground.

Seeing this, Jiao Xiong sighed, and arched his hand at Zhang Biao: "Zhang Zhutou, this case, leave it to my Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Zhang Biao smiled, his eyes became gloomy, "Jiao Shuai, this is my case of six doors, it's not in accordance with the rules..."

"Brother Zhang, don't be annoyed."

Duan Fei hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "There is another hidden reason in this matter, this case was originally taken by me, but I didn't expect something to go wrong." ”

As he spoke, he took out a file from his arms, "This case has been closed, the credit belongs to you, and the rest will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Zhang Biao spread out the file and saw the red mark on it, his face was gloomy, but he did not speak.

Seeing this, Jiao Xiong waved his hand, "Escort them back to the yamen, the women and children are arranged, don't let people harass you." ”

"Yes, Jiao Shuai!"

The bad guys and the martial marquis immediately took action, and the courtyard suddenly burst into crying, which looked extremely miserable.

Jiao Xiong turned a blind eye, came to the front of the mourning hall, respectfully offered the pillar incense, and then sighed.

After a while, the courtyard fell silent.

Jiao Xiong and Duan Fei didn't leave.

Zhang Biao didn't leave either.

There are also a few martial marquis outside the door, probing their brains, sneaky.

Seeing this, Jiao Xiong's eyes lit up.

"Get out!"

The martial marquis were so frightened that they hurriedly left.

These Wuhou had bad intentions, and seeing that the Hu family was in great trouble, they wanted to take the opportunity to enter the house to search for some silver taels, or grab some things to sell for money.

Zhang Biao didn't bother to bother, staring coldly at Duan Fei and Jiao Xiong to see what they could explain.

Duan Fei snorted, "Brother Zhang, this matter is a long story, seeing that noon is coming, brother, I am the east, let's go have a drink!" ”

……………

Xingye Fang, Baixiang Building.

"Speaking of which, the Hu family is also unlucky."

In the private room upstairs, Duan Fei took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Don't hide this matter from Brother Zhang, do you know 'Yali'?" ”

Zhang Biao nodded, "Of course I know." ”

The so-called "Yale-China" is actually a means of bribery to buy some antiques, calligraphy and paintings to give away.

Officials in Beijing, every time they celebrate a birthday or something, they often receive a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and they can exchange money when they get a specific shop.

To be honest, it's not a clever means, but what you pay attention to is "elegant". After all, they are all readers, and they should be decent in collecting money.

Duan Fei took a sip of wine and continued: "This is what the Hu family does, so the silver village can be opened in Xuanpingfang, which is convenient for officials to use at any time. ”

"Among them, the sons of the Yichonghui and several senior members of the court are also involved."

"The bribe giver first went to the shop opened by the Yichong Society in Jixian Fang to buy it, and the Hu family took the calligraphy and paintings, advanced the silver first, and then went to the Yichong Society to replace it."

"Yichong will take a cut, and then use the money to lend money by the way, and the Hu family will earn a passing fee, the best of both worlds."

"A few days ago, the Hu family was targeted by a group of swindlers from other places, and used the method of forgery and secret memory to take away a large number of silver taels, almost emptying the family's funds."

"It just so happened that there was a mess in the Yichong Society these days, so the Hu family kept quiet and exchanged all the money back."

"The boss of the Hu family actually has tuberculosis, so he asked me to intercede with those sons, first make up for the losses of others, and then disguise the knife bandits to commit crimes, kill the people of the Yichonghui installed in the shop, and then use his own death to divert attention..."

"I see..."

As soon as Zhang Biao heard it, he understood the cause and effect.

The Hu family was cheated, and then wanted to eat black and pass on the loss to the Yichonghui, but he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he acted in a robbery scene.

Yichong will buy and sell a lot, and it is in chaos, and the boss of the Hu family, who is dying soon, just used his death in exchange for his family to leave Beijing safely.

At this time, Jiao Xiong opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "I owe the boss of the Hu family a favor, and Brother Duan greets those sons, and I am ready to turn a blind eye and let this matter go." ”

"It's all my fault..."

Duan Fei said embarrassedly: "Originally, this case was for me to take over, but Zhuge Shenzhu was suddenly recruited, and something went wrong in the middle, and I didn't expect Brother Zhang to be so powerful." ”

Mom, they're not good people......

When Zhang Biao heard this, he lost interest and asked casually: "Why is this so, with the means of Yi Chonghui and Jiao Shuai, can't you catch that gang of liars?" ”

Jiao Xiong was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "I found something, that group of people is not simple, and there are also some grievances against the Hu family." ”

"The Hu family was originally from the Five Immortals Sect outside the Guanwai, and it was a side branch of the family, so I don't know why I came to the capital."

"That group of people is likely to be related to the Five Immortals Sect, and a few days ago, a mysterious person suddenly paid a lot of money and collected a lot of rare medicinal materials in Anrenfang, including a few taels of broken silver, which happened to have the mark of Taifeng Yinzhuang..."

"Oh?"

Zhang Biao's heart moved, and he raised his vigilance.

Rare medicinal materials were originally only used to treat diseases, and there were very few people who could afford to use them.

But now that the aura is recovering, before those rumored elixirs have grown, they can be used as a substitute for qi refining decoction.

The Five Immortals Sect outside the Guan, he had heard of it, was a kind of folk shaman, who was good at using drugs to cause hallucinations, and was very powerful outside the Guan.

It's hard to be successful, it's also a kind of ancient inheritance...

Seeing his thoughtful appearance, the bad handsome Jiao Xiong shook his head and said: "If you make a mistake, you will also die, you can only say that the Hu family should have this catastrophe." ”

"Zhang Zhutou, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it, I will find a way to leave some incense for the Hu family..."

…………

"Take the blame!"

When he went out, Tie Shouming shook his head and said: "The grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes are like this. People die for money, birds die for food, and I really haven't seen anyone innocent. ”

Wang Xin said with a smile: "No matter what they do, the case is solved quickly, and we can rest for a few more days." ”

"So be it."

Zhang Biao shook his head and said, "Go back to the yamen first, and then you will go back to rest, so as not to be out of energy in a few days." Recently, there has been some chaos in Beijing, so don't cause trouble. ”

"Yes, sir."

"Brother Biao, don't worry."

The three of them left Xingyefang and rushed back to the six gates.

It's just past noon, and it's coming. On weekdays, it is a time to be free, but now there are a lot of catchers hurrying in and out.

Zhang Biao handed over the case, and happened to meet Wang Zhutou, so he hurriedly grabbed it and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, what happened?" ”

Wang Zhutou looked around, and said with a wry smile: "Zhuge Shenzhu judged that there is a secret passage under the Yujing City, and there are many monks in the Lianhua Sect, and there must be someone to supply the food needed every day. ”

Zhang Biao was speechless, "This movement is too big." ”

"No way."

Wang Zhutou sighed, "There is no clue at the moment, the Autumn Stove Festival is approaching, and everything will be busy at that time, this distraction, Fang Shen's revenge, don't think about revenge." ”

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, but he was even more sure in his heart that the map could not be handed over.

He has been to the underground passage of Yujing City, there are many open places, and there are many exits, even if he sends troops in, he will not be satisfied.

That Zhuge Shenzhu was in a hurry to handle the case, and his style of acting was very different from the past.

If you get the map, maybe you dare to call a large number of people and horses to enter, can you beat the Lianhua Sect or two, provoke the skeleton camp, then you really don't want to live!

Out of the six doors, Zhang Biao separated from Tie Shouming and Wang Xin, and hurried home.

He can now practice twice a day, refining two parts of qi and blood soup, and cultivating after sunset in the "Three Yang Sutra", the effect is a little poor.

When passing by Xuanyi Fang, his heart moved, and he went around in a circle and went to Jing'an Fang.

In the dark alley, the lotus flower diagram appears again.

Zhang Biao's heart was shocked.

Originally, I just stopped by to take a look, but I didn't report much hope, but I didn't think that Cui Laodao really got the medicinal materials!

It can't be a trap...

Zhang Biao pretended to walk by casually, came to a nearby dark alley, immediately put on a ghost face, and then came to a beggar, took out the ecstasy mirror and shook it, and said in a low voice: "Help me do something..."

After a while, the beggar's eyes were glazed, and he staggered into the dark alley, grabbed the powder ash from the ground, and painted the lotus flower with branches and leaves.

Zhang Biao secretly observed for a long time on the opposite side, and when he saw that no one stepped forward to ask, he left with confidence.

…………

It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce.

In the dark alley, Cui Laodao was turning left and right in place, his eyes full of anxiety.

Suddenly, the wind on his clothes sounded, and he turned his head, only to see a ghostly face in the moonlight.

"The immortal master is here!"

Cui Lao Dao was overjoyed, and he wanted to bow down.

"Wait."

Zhang Biao waved his hand and said in a low voice: "You got the medicinal herbs?" ”

Cui Laodao smiled, "No." ”

Zhang Biao was annoyed when he heard this, "What about playing with me?" ”

"Immortal Master, don't worry."

Cui Lao Dao hurriedly surrendered his hand, "At present, there is a shortage of rare medicinal materials in Yujing City, although Lao Dao can't afford it, but he has a way, he just wants the immortal master to take action personally." ”

Zhang Biao frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Cui Laodao looked carefully behind him and said flatteringly: "I think the immortal master has a method of resisting ghosts." ”

"Presumably...... You can catch ghosts too, right? ”
