345. Houmen secret letter (ask for recommendation votes)
The mountain ghost is the soul of the mountain, and Gui'er has the heart to leave, but Wang Qilin can't keep her.
But what she said before she left was a little too strange.
Since Wang Qilin entered the Heavenly Prison, he is worthy of the sky and does not bow down to others, although he has not yet been able to make decisions for the people and have a clean breeze on his sleeves, but he is also worthy of his heart, so why did he have a child without a fart?
He felt that there must be something strange in the mountain ghost's words, so he wanted to force her out and ask her carefully.
As a result, not only did the mountain ghosts run away, but the hungry ghosts who lived in the trees also ran away, Wang Qilin and Brother Xu turned into hard-working lumberjacks and cut down many peach trees beside the trees, but none of the hungry ghosts living in the trees were cut down.
Xu Xiaoda asked disappointedly: "Seventh Master, the beautiful woman is not interested in me, is she? She met me during the day, but she was just worried that the yellow hungry ghost behind me would come out and make trouble, right?"
Wang Qilin comforted him and said, "Probably not, how can the yellow hungry ghost appear during the day?" I guess she still has a good impression of you, and specially came out to study with you. ”
Xu Xiaoda felt better.
He muttered, "I think so, you see, she also invited me to eat chalcedony, chalcedony is very precious, isn't it?"
Xie Toad nodded and said: "Yes, chalcedony is very precious, it has the miraculous effect of prolonging life and flesh and bones, and the Wang Lie I said earlier lived past three hundred years after eating chalcedony." ”
Xu Da and Wang Qilin were shocked.
The two glanced at each other, and they all understood each other's thoughts: make a note of this place, and come back to find the mountain ghost to eat chalcedony in the future!
After the chalcedony is brought out of the mountain, it will be as hard as a rock, which is the source of the stone in Xu Xiaoda's arms, but this kind of stone is still precious, and the eight meows and ninety-six are super happy to lick and lick.
Now that the mountain ghosts have disappeared without a trace, they can only return to the post house.
Seeing Xu Xiaoda come back safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang came with big eyes on crutches and said, "Seventh Master, a total of five groups of people came to you this evening, saying that they wanted to entertain you, and their invitations are here, you see?"
Wang Qilin sneered: "These people are all related to the Heavenly Sacrifice Sacrifice, right?"
Since he came to Tingtian Prison to check on Chi Xianhuai and Feng Duoshan, he sentenced the two to heavy sentences, and even harmed future generations.
Especially tonight, Wu Hanlin wanted to invite him to dinner, but he refused, which should also enter the eyes of those who have a heart.
These people didn't know about Xu Xiaoda's disappearance for a day and a night, they misunderstood the meaning of Wang Qilin's rejection of Wu Hanlin's move, and thought that he was ruthless and did not hesitate to offend the county guard in order to deal with the case of the Heavenly Sacrifice.
Therefore, now they can only ask him to give in and beg for mercy in private.
This is also the reason why Wang Qilin did not make public the crimes committed by Chi Xianhuai and Feng Duoshan, no matter what the outside world says about himself, anyway, as long as he can find justice for those children and women who were abducted and trafficked, disabled and killed.
Yang Dayan said: "This villain didn't talk much, but they left an invitation with the names and surnames of each master, which should be able to be found." ”
Wang Qilin waved his hand at him and said, "Yang Daxia will be called a villain in the future, what is this name? ”
Yang shook his head and said, "The villain is a concierge, how can he mess up the title?"
Wang Qilin said: "What is the porter or not, we are all our own people, otherwise you will be like Ma Ye, claiming to be humble." ”
Yang Dayan wanted to refuse, Xu Da came up and said with a big grin: "What is it called? You have to call yourself Yang Ye, just like the uncle has always called himself uncle." ”
"That villain still calls himself a lowly officer. Yang Dayan quickly chose a compromise.
Wang Qilin took these invitations and looked at them casually, the names and surnames on them were somewhat familiar, and they were indeed somewhat related to the Xingtian Sacrifice.
There is only one exception.
Houmen.
There are many sects in Shangyuan Mansion, the most famous of which are eight, and the people of the rivers and lakes call the four sects and the four sects, and the Hou Gate is one of the four sects.
Being able to establish a sect and carry it forward in the land of the county government naturally has a long history, and the history of Houmen can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty.
The name of this gang is Hou Men, which actually has nothing to do with the title of Hou Ye, but because the ancestor of this sect is a pioneer general under the command of Yue Feiyue's grandfather, the first general of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The vanguard general is in charge of the scouts, and it can also be said that the ancestor of the Houmen is the scout president under Yue Fei, and later the first emperor in history to complete the Yan Storm Pavilion harmed Yue Fei, and many fierce generals in the army were greatly chilled, and they have hung seals and fled into the people, among which the scout president led the scouts under his command to create this Houmen.
As you can hear from the name, Houmen's plan is very big, and this gang has done its best to scout for the righteous army when Taizu of this dynasty raised troops against the previous dynasty, and has made many meritorious contributions.
It's a pity that Houmen did not firmly follow Taizu to the end, the scout is a pawn, the situation is really dangerous, several hard battles down the elite of Houmen lost a seven, seven, eighty-eight, and the head of the Houmen at that time, Tianyan Hou, asked Taizu to resign, and retreated to the people again.
Up to now, they specialize in eating Jianghu rice, and have placed disciples in various parts of Jiuzhou, collecting information from all over the world and selling it to merchants and various sects, and they have made a lot of money and mixed well.
Houmen will send an invitation at this time, and Wang Qilin is a little puzzled.
After seeing this post, Yang Dayan said: "Seventh Master, this post was personally sent by Houmen Tianyanhou, he was going to visit you, but seeing that you were not in the house, he left this post, saying that there is something important to negotiate with you." ”
Tianyan Hou is the master of the Hou Gate, and he personally came to Wang Qilin to find him, there should be some important news.
Wang Qilin attached great importance to this matter, so after breakfast the next day, he took Xu Da and Xie Toad to Houmen for a visit.
Houmen is in the west of the city, it is a wealthy compound that covers a wide area, the courtyard wall is stretched out hundreds of steps, and the mansion is towering, such as the dragon lying on the mountain.
There are peach charms on both sides of the red lacquer gate, and a poem on the left and right: the five cities reprimand, and the three Qin are newly recruited.
In addition, there are four elite disciples standing inside and outside the gate, the disciples inside the door are holding spears, and the disciples outside the door are holding fast knives, their faces are expressionless, like stone people.
Wang Qilin and the three appeared, and some disciples went to call people in advance, and then a big man quickly went out and hugged his fists: "Hou Men welcomes Lord Tiewei, I have seen Lord Wang, Dao Chang, and Lord Xu in Xia Song Jinhammer." ”
Song Jinhammer respectfully opened the way, and an old man with gray hair and a gentle face clenched his fists at the door of the lobby, this is Tianyanhou.
Tianyanhou's name is Zhao Kuo, and he first greeted Wang Qilin.
praised Wang Qilin for his young and promising, handsome and chic, jade tree in the wind, and clear on all sides, and then on behalf of the people of Shangyuan Mansion welcomed his arrival, expressed excitement, and expressed impatience.
Wang Qilin also sent Xu Da to praise Hou Men and Tianyan Hou.
Praise Hou Men is a rich family, is a hairpin family, praise Tianyan Hou has both talent and morality, excellent and capable of help, is a hero who sets up the sea and rebukes the eight poles, and praises the disciples of the back door for being able to prosper the clouds and rain and know the effect.
At this time, you can see the difference between a scholar and a reckless man, Xu Da's praise is really like the water of the Yellow River, out of control, and he praised Tianyanhou.
He never knew he was so good.
After experiencing the praise link, Tianyan Hou went straight to the point and said the purpose of his banquet for Wang Qilin yesterday: "As far as I know, Lord Wang came to Shangyuan Mansion this time with the dual responsibility of listening to the heavenly eunuch and the county government yamen, right?"
Wang Qilin glanced at him in surprise.
Houmen is indeed well-informed, and the task given to him by the county government yamen represented by Wu Hanlin is confidential, and it stands to reason that only a few people know about it now.
Tianyan Hou smiled slightly, and continued: "I heard that Lord Zhong in the Heavenly Prison has high hopes for you, hoping that you can sweep away the haze left by the Heavenly Sacrifice and wipe out this evil gang that has plagued the court and the people for hundreds of years, right?"
It's no secret.
Wang Qilin nodded frankly.
Tianyan Hou said again: "You heard that the Heavenly Prison and the Pingyang Wu Clan have eradicated the Xingtian Sacrifice, but unfortunately the leaders of the Xingtian Sacrifice are nowhere to be found, right?"
Wang Qilin said lightly: "They ran fast, but they didn't all escape. ”
Tianyan Hou said: "There are seven elders in the Heavenly Sacrifice Sacrifice with six orders and one sacrifice wine, and the Taishang Sacrifice Wine was killed by you. ”
Now the outside world only knows that Taishang Sacrificial Wine was killed, but they don't know that it was Wang Qilin who killed him, and Zhong Wuji carried the pot.
He didn't do this to take the credit of Wang Qilin.
The puff is not guilty of his crimes.
Killing the Taishang sacrificial wine is a piece of stone.
If the outside world knew that it was the Taishang sacrificial wine killed by a mere iron captain, the six orders would not let him go, and they couldn't help Zhong Wuji, but it was a trivial matter to kill an iron captain together.
Tianyan Hou asked, "Lord Wang, do you know how the Six Orders escaped?"
Wang Qilin looked at him silently.
Listening to the speculation of the Heavenly Prison, the Xingtian Festival has been operating the Descending Dragon Ridge Dojo for many years, so he naturally left a back way to escape, and he left through the back road.
But Wang Qilin knew that this was not the case, but he never said the real reason, mainly for two reasons: first, he had no evidence, everything was just his speculation, and second, he thought that there were ghosts in the Heavenly Prison.
Tianyan Hou smiled slightly, and he said to himself: "Lord Wang may not believe it, but in fact, the Six Orders were brought out by you people who listened to the Heavenly Prison!"
Wang Qilin's face changed slightly.
How could Tianyanhou know this? You know, he just made such a guess!
Liuling was taken away, by a person who was exactly the same as Yang Zuo, the former iron lieutenant of Pingyang Mansion!
In order to prevent anyone from escaping in troubled waters, they set up many barriers to block the entrances and exits of the outer world.
The fierce battle began, and sure enough, someone left the outer world.
There were members of the Heavenly Punishment Festival who fled timidly, as well as members of the Heavenly Guardian and the Wu clan who pursued after or were injured and withdrew from the battlefield.
Someone brought out a person who was exactly the same as Yang Zuo, and the elite disciples of the Wu clan who were guarding outside and the elite soldiers mobilized from the Shangyuan Mansion checked their identities and found that there was no problem, so they let them go.
This point was not considered by Wang Qilin, in fact, he knew before that there was a person exactly like Yang Zuo, which was what Zhao Rongsheng told him.
When he interrogated Zhao Rongsheng, Zhao Rongsheng told him a secret: as the Great Seal of Yuma County, the reason why he got involved with the Lower Nine Gates was because of Yang Zuo.
Yang Zuo privately approached him and showed him the downfall of the Tingtian Eunuch in Pingyang Mansion, and said that he wanted to deal with the Wu clan in order to revitalize the momentum of the Tingtian Eunuch in Pingyang Mansion.
Zhao Rongsheng was suppressed by the Yamen and the Wu clan in Yuma County, and he could only place his love on gambling, in fact, he was a very strong and ambitious person, and the Great Seal was by no means his goal in his career!
After the temptation found out that Yang Zuo really wanted to deal with the Wu family, Zhao Rong was heartbroken, he was the person Yang Zuo pulled up, and now Yang Zuo intends to defeat the Wu family and win a higher level in his career, he has no reason not to follow.
Yang Zuo hooked up with the underworld in Pingyang Mansion on the grounds of uniting all forces that could be united to deal with the Wu clan.
Zhao Rongsheng believed this.
After all, he knew that with the power and strength of the Heavenly Prison in Pingyang Mansion, he couldn't even do such a thing as blocking the Wu family's ass and making them fart.
Another reason for him to believe that Yang Zuo could bring down Pingyang Mansion was the strength shown by Yang Zuo, he once brought four masters of the hat to meet him, these four masters were all in the seventh-grade realm or even the eighth-grade realm, Yang Zuo said that this was the secret offering of the heavenly eunuch.
These four people gave him the confidence to bring down the Pingyang Takeshi clan.
Later, he obeyed Yang Zuo's orders and mingled with the gangs of Xia Jiumen and other side doors, just to unite all the forces that could be united.
In August, the case of the disappearance of candidates broke out, and Yang Zuo also disappeared, whether it was Tingtianjian or Wu, they thought he was dead, and only Zhao Rongsheng knew that he was still alive:
Yang Zuo came to see him on the day of his disappearance, saying that he used to lurk around the Wu family, but now that he is exposed, he can only hide.
So Zhao Rongsheng continued to complete the task he arranged, silently waiting for the opportunity to attack the Wu clan.
Until his post house was suddenly destroyed, Wang Qilin entered the rudder of the lower nine gates and touched him out along this line.
And Wang Qilin also told him one thing, Yang Zuo was actually dead, and he tortured Yin Cha in the Nine Shadows when he went to Yin.
The so-called torture and the like, Zhao Rongsheng was, and he guessed that Wang Qilin was bragging.
But he believed Wang Qilin's words.
After all, he is an official promoted by Yang Zuo, but he is a descendant, and he is very familiar with Yang Zuo, and the 'Yang Zuo' who came into contact with him later showed a lot of horses.
It's just that at that time, he had already stepped on the thief ship and had no way back, and he also had a fluke mentality, hoping to bring down the Wu clan and make great contributions, so that he could further become an iron lieutenant or even a bronze lieutenant in Tingtianjian, so he cooperated with 'Yang Zuo'.
In the end, he faced a desperate situation, and in desperation, he shifted all the responsibility to 'Yang Zuo', so he told Wang Qilin about his experience.
It was also on this opportunity that Wang Qilin learned of the fact that there was another 'Yang Zuo'.
This 'Yang Zuo' is the person of the Xingtian Sacrifice, and he pulled Zhao Rongsheng to the thief ship of the Xingtian Sacrifice and made him make a big mistake.
After Zhao Rongsheng figured this out, he naturally tried every possible means to put him to death, which was also the reason why Wang Qilin was furious when he contacted Zhuangzi to tell him that Yang Zuo was dead.
Wang Qilin was thinking about the information he knew, and at the same time looked at Tianyanhou with noncommittal eyes.
Tianyan Hou keenly noticed the change in his mood, and once again showed his trademark smile: "Your predecessor in Pingyang Mansion is not dead, he is still alive!"
"He's the one who sacrificed to the heavens!"
"It's the six orders he brought out!"
"And he's still hiding in the Uehara Mansion!"
Wang Qilin was furious, and immediately stood up and asked, "Liuling is also hiding in Shangyuan Mansion?"
How ferocious and powerful the Six Orders are, they are just six humanoid killing machines, if they hide in the city, then the people in the city will not have a good year.
But Zhong Wuji summoned a helping hand, and together with the elders of the Tianwu Sect, he traced the whereabouts of Liuling, vowing to kill them, these people had already searched the Shangyuan Mansion, and did not find the figure of the Liuling in the Shangyuan Mansion.
Tianyan Hou signaled him to calm down and said, "If Liuling is in Shangyuan Mansion and takes his family and brothers out to avoid the limelight in the morning, why will he still stay in the city?"
"According to my investigation, the six orders seem to be hiding from something, they left the Shangyuan Mansion and abandoned that Lord Yang Zuo, as if it was because Yang Zuo had become a burden to them. ”
Wang Qilinhu asked, "Is this news exact?"
Tianyan Hou said: "The stakes are very high, it's not exact news, how dare you tell Lord Wang?"
"Where in the city is he hiding?"
"It's in the Lux Alley in the west of the city! But he is hiding in it, and he can't be sure where he is hiding, but he got the news that Yang Zuo is hiding in the Lux Alley and pretending to be a wrestler. ”
Wang Qilin looked at Xu Da, he had just come to Shangyuan Mansion not long ago, and he didn't know much about the layout of the buildings in the mansion city.
Xu Da leaned up and said in a low voice: "Lux Alley has nothing to do with the Lux who listened to the Heavenly Prison, it refers to the local coolies who do heavy work and hard labor, this Lux Alley is not just an alley, it is an urban area composed of several alleys. The people living in it are all coolie families, dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is indeed a small thing to hide someone inside. ”
Wang Qilin nodded.
Tianyan Hou said: "Lord Wang, I can only introduce the news to this step, and how to arrest this person depends on your own strength." ”
Wang Qilin hugged his fists and said: "Marquis Zhao is polite, the rest of the matter is just the official himself, it's not difficult to catch a scum who listens to the heavens." ”
Tianyan Hou smiled and said, "Wait for Lord Wang's good news!"
It was still early, and Tianyanhou wanted to leave him for lunch, but Wang Qilin refused, and he frankly told the other party that he was going back to arrange his troops immediately.
Seeing this, Tianyanhou did not forcibly keep it again.
Wang Qilin returned to the post house, Yang Dayan stopped him and smiled bitterly: "Master Wu has sent a message again, saying that I will invite you to dinner tonight." ”
Xu Da said impatiently: "We have something important now, what's the matter with Master Wu? Didn't he just arrest a thief? What did he do when he looked for the Seventh Master three times and twice?"
Yang Dayan waved his hand and said: "Master Xu, after listening to the humble position, the message from this martial master also specially explained, saying that the matter he wants to talk about with the seventh master has nothing to do with the Xingtian Sacrifice!"
Wang Qilin said: "Then we can't go to the banquet tonight, otherwise wouldn't it make people think that I refused Lord Wu's banquet last night because I was worried that he would intercede for the Xingtian Sacrifice?"
"Besides, he has nothing to do with the Xingtian Sacrifice, but we have a lot to do with the Xingtian Sacrifice, and I still have to arrest a very important prisoner. ”
He walked away.
Xu Da was more sleek than him, found a piece of paper and wrote a few words, then grabbed Yang Dayan and said, "Uncle Yang, you go and send a message to Master Wu, just say that we are indeed very busy now, and we want to arrest such a person." ”
He stuffed the note to Yang Dayan and said in a low voice: "You must hand it over to Master Wu after seeing it, and others are not allowed to read the contents of the paper!"
Yang opened the crutches and deposited the note against the back of the knife.
Ghosts and gods are hard to find.
Xu Da caught up with Wang Qilin and asked, "Seventh Master, how can we find Yang Zuo?"
Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "That's not Yang Zuo, it may be his twin brother." ”
Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, but the old Taoist priest thinks that it may be that someone has taken away Lord Yang's body. ”
Wang Qilin said: "It's possible, but no matter what, it's not Yang Zuo that we have to deal with." ”
Xu Da asked, "But how can we find him?"
Wang Qilin said: "Do you remember when Zhuangzi caught Zhao Rongsheng, he gave me a thing?"
"He said at the time that he wanted me to help and send this thing to Yang Zuo. Later, I told him that Yang Zuo was dead, and he said to give it to me. ”
As he spoke, he went to the case vault and opened a secret compartment and took out a small box.
The box opened, and inside was an egg carved out of jade, but there was no yolk inside, but a small baby!
Roughly speaking, this thing looks like a jade carving, but if you look closely, it is not, the little baby in the jade carving is not a miracle of nature, because nature cannot be so magical that even the umbilical cord is conceived.
Wang Qilin didn't know what this thing was, and Zhao Rongsheng refused to tell the true identity of this little thing, only that this was Yang Zuo's treasure, and it was given to him by Yang Zuo when he saw Yang Zuo for the last time.
However, he revealed a piece of news, Yang Zuo's means of getting this thing seemed to be not bright, and he was very worried that someone would find out that this thing was on him, so he secretly handed it over to him and asked him to take it away, and find an opportunity to send it back to himself.
Wang Qilin said: "When Zhao Rongsheng said that he wanted me to help send something to Yang Zuo, I felt very strange. ”
"Yang Zuo is clearly related to the Xingtian Sacrifice, if I can find him, I will naturally not let him go, why does Zhao Rongsheng still ask me to give him a gift?"
"The trick is in this little thing, Zhao Rongsheng said that as long as this little thing is taken out of the box, Yang Zuo naturally has a way to take it away. ”
"This time, if we want to find Yang Zuo, we have to rely on this little thing. ”
Xu Da picked up the jade egg and looked at it, and asked, "This thing is a bit evil, what is it?"
He looked at the jade egg carefully and found that the villain inside was only because it was extremely small and pink, so it was regarded as a baby, but in fact, this was not a baby, but a little old man who bowed his head and meditated.
Wang Qilin also felt that this thing was very evil, he had studied it with a jade egg, but he couldn't see the appearance of the villain inside.
The little man could turn around inside, and whenever he wanted to look at the little old man head-on, he would turn around in the jade egg, always turning his back to the human gaze.
It seems to sense the gaze of a person.
So Wang Qilin called him a double-slit interference villain.
Xie Toad picked up the jade egg with a solemn face and looked at it, then picked up the box and looked at it, and tore off the brocade on the box with a flick of his hand.
The real body of the box is exposed, and its material looks the same as the jade egg, and the appearance is carved with dense and redundant lines.
Xie Toad's brows furrowed: "How could Yang Zuo have this thing?"
