Chapter 244: Secret Decree

A figure flashed in the courtyard next door, lightly touched his foot on the wicker, and landed on the courtyard wall ten meters in front of him, and one turned over and landed next to Qing'er who was about to leave at the entrance of the alley.

Qing'er rubbed the corners of her eyes, her expression was flat, and she was not panicked when she saw someone coming, but stood aside and looked at the notice on the wall seriously.

"Okay, why do you want to touch a nose of ash?"

"Why do you kill?"

"If I don't kill that couple, the Holy Envoy won't be released so easily."

"If you do this, it will make more people doubt me!"

Qing'er was in a bad mood and raised her voice and said angrily.

The other party just smiled: "What about doubts? Could it be that the Holy Envoy still wants to dissociate himself from the Holy Religion? ”

"Any action in the future must be done with my permission! Don't forget, I'm the Holy Messenger! ”

"Got it, Holy Envoy." The middle-aged man spoke, but he was careless.

Qing'er twisted her eyebrows, took her hat, and walked quickly towards Flower Street.

The middle-aged man followed behind, chattering: "Holy envoy, my subordinates don't understand, which play are you playing?" Why do things that disgust men? Seeing that the prince of the Bai family cared for the holy envoy, how could he have so many faint tricks? ”

"You don't have to worry about it!"

The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and took out a large money bag: "Look, what is this?" ”

"Where did you get all this money?"

"Recovered from the two people I killed last night."

“…… Didn't the couple have no money? ”

"Hey, that young master of the Bai family is really good to the holy envoy! In order to save the holy envoy, after making trouble in the court, he bought off the couple non-stop, and gave him more than three hundred taels of silver, without blinking his eyes. ”

"It's him......" Qing'er stopped when she heard her footsteps, and froze in place.

"What? Is the Holy Envoy's heart unstable? ”

Qing'er didn't answer, and continued to walk forward in silence.

……

Taishoufu –

A young man in military uniform entered the back hall under the guidance of the official.

Jiang Yu hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "I've seen the young general." ”

"The last general will meet the prince and see Lord Jiang."

The smiling old man beckoned to Li Miao, the major general stationed in the border: "You are Li Jing's grandson?" ”

Li Miao straightened up and responded: "Exactly." ”

"Gee, exactly like that guy when he was younger."

"I don't know what the prince summoned me to do?"

"Hey, just as rigid as your grandfather."

Li Zhan said a few words lightly, and then asked Jiang Yu to close the door and pull out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve.

When Li Miao saw it, he immediately knelt down: "The last general will listen to the order." ”

"Hey, don't be so nervous. This is a secret decree from the emperor to this king, not for you. ”

"Ahem...... cough lightly" Li Miao coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed.

After Li Miao got up, Li Zhan continued with the holy decree in his hand: "The emperor ordered this king to enter Youzhou to investigate the Holy Lotus Sect, and a couple was killed last night, leaving a lotus brand on their bodies. This is the logo of the Holy Lotus Sect, and it is also the first time that the lotus brand appeared in Youzhou. It seems that everything is as the emperor expected, and there will be movement in the Holy Lotus Sect in Youzhou. The purpose of summoning you here today is to draw a group of elite dead soldiers from your border defense to lurk in the counties of Youzhou, and pay attention to the movements of all parties at any time. ”

"The Holy Lotus Sect appeared in Youzhou?" Li Miao was slightly puzzled.

"You've also heard of the Holy Lotus Sect?"

Li Miao nodded: "There are personnel from all over the army, and the soldiers have said about the Holy Lotus Sect, but they only know that the Holy Lotus Sect is good at collecting money, and likes to target rich businessmen from all over the country, or rob, or trap, which is especially common in the Jiangnan area." Youzhou is located in a remote area, and it is poorer than Jiangnan, and with the temperament of the Holy Lotus Sect, it will not appear in Youzhou. ”

"Yes, judging from the previous information, the Holy Lotus Sect will indeed not appear in the relatively poor Youzhou. Originally, the imperial court also thought that the Holy Lotus Sect was just a group of non-governmental organizations just for money. But recently, more and more news has proved that the Holy Lotus Sect is trying to do much more than money. ”

"More than just money?"

Now that the Turks have surrendered, the emperor intends to adopt Wen Yanbo's proposal and order the Turks to move eastward so that the two countries can trade and live together. In this way, Datang will never be plagued by the Turks. The Holy Lotus Sect only took action after learning of this, and collecting money was only one thing, and the imperial court was worried that there would be people from the Holy Lotus Sect who would stir up trouble in the process of the Turkic people's eastward migration, intensifying the contradictions between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic commoners. This is an important matter for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, and it must not be destroyed by people with bad intentions. ”

Li Miao's expression was solemn, and she knew the seriousness of the matter: "I am willing to listen to the prince's dispatch." ”

"The imperial court spies learned that the Holy Lotus Sect has installed a Northern Regions Holy Envoy in Jixian County, who is in charge of all the members of the Holy Lotus Sect in the north. As for who this holy envoy of the Northern Regions is, after discussing with Lord Jiang, this king already has an object of suspicion in his heart. ”

"Who?"

Li Zhan put away his past easy-going and left two words lightly: "Bai Song!" ”

"Bai ......" Li Miao was stunned for a moment, and instantly froze, "Bai Song? Which White Song? ”

"There is only one Bai Song in this Youzhou."

"The prince said that he had been to the grassland and saved Shu Wang...... White Song? ”

Li Zhan nodded.

Li Miao denied it: "This is impossible, Brother Bai...... How did he ......"

"There are no absolutes in the world, don't be deceived by appearances. Regarding Bai Song, this king has already had a very full investigation, although there is no direct evidence to prove that he has a relationship with the Holy Lotus Sect, but from various indications, the entire Youzhou belongs to him has the greatest suspicion.

Bai Song was originally the son-in-law of the Lin family, but he was redeemed in despair, and he did not have anything outstanding in the previous ten years. But after joining the Lin family, he seemed to have changed as a person, not only mastering the medical skills of others, but also being courageous.

is just a cold family, not to mention beating the son of the Zheng family, but also to take revenge on the Zheng family, which makes the Zheng family restless. And killed the Turkic prince, went thousands of miles deep into the steppe, and heard that he also killed the first Turkic warrior.

Returned to Youzhou, started business, relied on a book of three kingdoms, in just one month, collected thousands of taels of silver. Each of these is a shocking event. With so many unusual combinations, there is no mysterious force behind it, who can do it on their own? ”

Li Miao couldn't find any rebuttal after listening to it, although he didn't want to believe that his brother-in-law would be a member of the Holy Lotus Sect, but when he thought about it carefully, there were indeed many things that people couldn't figure out.

"Lord Wang, but Bai Song didn't do anything treacherous."

"Now it's not, I'm afraid that if he doesn't make a sound, he will be a blockbuster! The deeper you hide, the more likely you are to do something even more earth-shattering. ”

“……”

This king didn't want to believe it, and after dating that Bai Song for a while, this king found that this son was extraordinary. But he recently got very close to a Qinglou woman, and the identity of the Qinglou woman has been confirmed, she is a member of the Holy Lotus Sect in Youzhou. We originally intended to suppress this woman and lure the person behind her to appear, but we didn't expect that the person who finally stood up was that Bai Song. For the sake of this woman, he broke into the court alone, and used public opinion to force him to wait for trial, but he assassinated the two plaintiffs last night, so that Lord Jiang had to release him. All kinds of signs show that Bai Song is the most suspicious! Now, you should understand the meaning of this king's summoning you to Jixian County, right? ”

"Don't worry, as long as you confirm that Bai Song is a disciple of the Holy Lotus Sect, the last general will definitely kill this person. But the last general also vouched for Brother Bai, and the White Brother that the last general knew was definitely not a person in the cult, and before there was definite evidence, he was sure that the prince would not kill him in vain. ”

Li Zhan nodded: "There are still two months to prepare for the southward migration of the Turks, and before that, this king will ask for a result." There is a letter here, this king wants you to send it to Yunzhou in person, stop Li Jing, and let Li Shuwang go to Youzhou to obey orders. ”

"Lord Wang, you want my sister to test ......"

"What? You still don't want to? ”

Li Miao frowned, didn't say anything more, took the letter and turned away.

……

Shangxian Book Club, students in three or two, each with a table to read silently.

The sandalwood fragrance on the table is light and quiet, and it calms people's hearts a lot as soon as they enter.

A little scholar who was guarding the door came over and asked very quietly, "Childe wants to buy books?" ”

"Meet Mrs. Chen."

"I don't know the name of the child."

"Bai Song."

"Bai Song?" The little scholar's expression changed significantly, and he looked people up and down.

"That's right, Bai Song from Donglai Restaurant."

Several students around him seemed to have heard Bai Song's name, and they closed their books one after another, casting curious glances at Bai Song. At the same time, the atmosphere in the entrance hall of the book club has also become strange.

Maybe there are still some people who don't know Bai Song.

But how could the students of Shangxian Books not know about Bai Song?

A copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is in line with the Shangxian Book Society, and Mrs. Chen personally presides over the ban on books.

Until now, the Three Kingdoms have not been discussed so far.

This Bai Song and Mrs. Chen can be said to be incompatible.

And why did he suddenly come to visit Mrs. Chen?

I'm afraid that today is not good!

These students also patrolled the first activities and participated in the book ban campaign.

But they just acted according to the teacher's instructions, and really didn't have any opinions on Bai Song and the Three Kingdoms book, and even admired Bai Song for writing such a novel.

Looking at Bai Song, they didn't have much hostility, they were just curious, and they also had some schadenfreude expectations.

Reading has been too boring lately, and I need to make a little noise to refresh everyone.

After hearing this, the little scholar asked Bai Song to wait at the door for a while, and then went inside to report.

When the little scholar left, a scholar stepped forward and whispered hello: "Brother Tai, did you really write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" ”

Bai Song looked at him, saw that his eyes lit up, he was very curious, thought about it and replied: "It's just paraphrasing, the author has someone else." ”

"Hey, Ming people don't say secret words, why hide it, don't worry, we are book lovers and won't tell the truth. Before, it was just that Mr. was strict, and we didn't dare to be labeled as a bully, so we listened to Mr. and made trouble. ”

Bai Song nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Brother Tai, is there any content behind the Three Kingdoms? Let's make a deal, I'll give you three taels of silver, you secretly give me the content behind, rest assured, just take a look, it won't be passed on. ”

The two people in the rear also came over when they listened: "Yes, yes, yes, let's take a look, if you can't hear the story, it's okay to feast your eyes." ”
