Sitting in front of the golden body of the Buddha, Liu Bo calmly explained everything.

Everything was planned by him, but this plan also came from a coincidence.

This coincidence is that Zhou Yu got the reverse dry technique.

After obtaining the fragment of the Reverse Dry Technique, he informed Liu Bo, who had just been transferred back from the frontier to the county, and Liu Bo knew that the imperial court had always been afraid of the Wu clan's power in Pingyang.

So after learning that the Wu clan had a reverse dry art inheritance, he gave birth to such a plan: to replace people's lives with reverse dry arts.

The first time they made a move was to transfer Feng Liang's fate to Wu Jinghui, so Feng Liang was the victim and Wu Jinghui was also the victim in this matter.

When the Wu clan found out about the incident, they remedied, and they arranged for Wu Jinghui's younger brother Wu Jingchao to approach Feng Liang, saving Feng Liang's life unharmed.

For many years after that, Zhou Yu attacked others again, and the Wu family was aware of it, but he didn't find out that Zhou Yu and Liu Bo were operating behind it.

According to Liu Bo's calculations, they changed the lives of many people, and finally put the blame on the Wu clan to sanction the Wu clan.

Changing one's life is a major event that goes against heaven and human morality!

However, the Wu clan was very difficult to provoke after the 200 years of Pingyang Mansion, and even if the imperial court wanted to move them, they had to be carefully considered, so Liu Bo did not simply attack the Wu clan on the grounds that there was a reverse trick in the county.

He has been waiting patiently, and finally waited for this year's township exam, and there was a large number of candidates missing in the county.

The government and the opposition were shocked by this matter, Liu Bo realized that the opportunity to do it had come, so he transferred Wang Qilin to Pingyang Mansion, but he didn't expect Wang Qilin to really investigate anything, he just used the power of listening to the heavens that Wang Qilin had to involve the Wu clan.

As a result, in the end, Wang Qilin overfulfilled his task, not only involving the Wu family, but also finding out the truth of the case, which made his years of hard work go to waste......

After finishing speaking, Liu Bo couldn't help but shake his head: "If you can do it all over again, this official should punish Xiao Qi in August on the grounds that Li Ying was killed by demons and Jixiang County lost the county examination question, at least demote you from the big seal to the small seal, instead of promoting you." ”

What can Wang Qilin say?

A person's destiny is, of course, dependent on self-struggle, but it is also necessary to take into account the course of history.

Regarding Liu Bo's promotion of him to be an iron lieutenant, he can only say that this is not actually Liu Bo's promotion of him, but God promoted him.

Li Changge took Liu Bo away, and Wu Jingzhan issued an order to transfer people to arrest the monks of the Rota Temple and continue to investigate the related matters of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In this way, the people of the True Buddha Township were shocked to find that all of a sudden the cavalry stationed outside the township disappeared.

The temple was sealed, and there were no monks in the temple, but instead a team of hunters.

Catch them quickly to search for evidence of collusion between the Landa Temple and the remnants of the previous dynasty, Bi Yuewu is the overseas monk who blessed the candidates before, and the Landa Temple is the place where he sat in his previous life, so this temple must have something to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Li Changge, Taiba and others had already left, but Wang Qilin stayed, he jumped on the roof of the main hall, and basked in the sun with his chin in his hands.

Eight Meow and Nine-Six are also basking in the sun, the two of them are drying their stomachs side by side, and Eight Meow spreads out his four legs and tries to spread his belly, trying to make the area as large as possible.

The black heat absorbs, and it basks for a while and begins to gurgle and chant Buddha.

The more Jiuliu was exposed to the sun, the colder it became, and he couldn't doze off hard, and he really froze into a dog.

It was about to get up and get under Wang Qilin's crotch, when there was a sound of footsteps on the roof behind it, its ears shook and it quickly got up, and Eight Meow blocked its ears with fat claws so that it could continue to sleep.

Strength pet sister.

But my sister shivered from the cold.

Seeing this, Yameow threw out his little tail and turned it into a small black blanket to cover his belly.

Wang Qilin squinted at the two of them, thinking in his heart that if he had the ability to be a sister of Bameow, he would have achieved a positive result with Sui Sui by now.

The footsteps came from Wu Jingzhan, who walked over and sat down and said, "Won't Lord Wang go down and point out my fast catcher? They haven't found anything useful until now." ”

Wang Qilin said lazily: "It won't be so easy to find out, they must have hidden the relevant traces very deeply, otherwise the temple will be full of people all day long, and it will be exposed." ”

Wu Jingzhan nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Wang's head is really powerful." ”

Wang Qilin smiled dumbly, and he said: "Lord Liu's evaluation to me is very correct, I only have little wisdom, not great wisdom, so Lord Wu should not praise me with a clear conscience." What did you come to me for, didn't you?"

Wu Jingzhan avoided talking about the matter, and said: "Lord Liu is annoyed and angry, so he gives you such an evaluation, Lord Wang, if you don't have great wisdom, how many people in this world dare to say that they have wisdom?"

Wang Qilin said: "You, Master Wu is a person with great wisdom, I have thought about it carefully, in fact, you have long known the truth of all this, but your Wu clan has to avoid suspicion, and you dare not interrogate Lord Liu, so you will borrow my knife to do things, right?" ”

Wu Jingzhan said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you look down on my Wu clan, we know that the imperial court is targeting my Wu clan everywhere, but what Liu Bo did, we were indeed kept in the dark, and we didn't know that Zhou Yu had actually obtained the remnants of the reverse dry technique." ”

He was afraid that Wang Qilin would not believe it, so he explained: "Really, Lord Wang, we don't even know that Wu Weilai is a disciple of Zhou Yu, otherwise how could we want to marry the girl of the family to him as a wife?"

"We have investigated Wu Weilai, but we have not found his problem, now that I think about it, this is very abnormal, obviously he has the blessing of great magic behind him. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin understood: "You want to ask me about the beetle, but I have already told you the information I know, the ruins next to Dading Village should be the hiding place of the beetle, you can go and check it, I don't know the specifics." ”

Wu Jingzhan smiled and sat beside him overlooking the town in front of him, and said, "I came up this time, not to ask about the beetle, but to introduce you to our Wu clan." ”

"My third and fourth uncles like you very much, my father admires you very much, and then you passed the test of our Wu clan, so we want to be friends with you. ”

Wang Qilin was stunned, and he asked, "What test?"

Wu Jingzhan smiled: "When I was in my house before, my father and my third uncle forced you to make a move on us. ”

Wang Qilin nodded.

Wu Jingzhan said: "When you went at that time, you knew that Liu Bo was the culprit, and our Wu clan has nothing to do with this case, right?"

Wang Qilin nodded again: "Yes, I didn't want to make a move in your mansion at first, but Liu Bo sent someone to monitor me, and I want to go to your mansion to divert his attention, and at the same time borrow someone from you to implement the plan." ”

Wu Jingzhan asked curiously, "How do you know that Wu Xingde is our family's opposite?"

Wang Qilin said: "I don't know, but I know that you must have installed cronies around Liu Bo, what I need is a person that Liu Bo can trust, and let him bring the spirit of the crow and the jade handsome that Lord Taiba has transformed to set Liu Bo's words." ”

Wu Jingzhan smiled: "As a result, you haven't expressed your intentions, my father and my third grandfather forced you to make a move, don't you?"

Wang Qilin said suspiciously: "This is the test of your family, the test of whether a person dares to attack your Wu clan?"

This he really felt weird, Wu Yeqi appeared inexplicably, and inexplicably forced him to make a move against the Wu family.

Isn't this stupid?

Looking at the suspicion on his face, Wu Jingzhan said, "Yes." ”

Wang Qilin laughed: "What kind of test is this?"

Wu Jingzhan said seriously: "This is a very effective test, a test of a person's courage and position, not many people can pass this test." ”

Wang Qilin shook his head and said: "Don't play dumb riddles, I don't understand what you said, what courage and what position do you Wu want to test me?"

Wu Jingzhan said: "The courage to defy power and adhere to the position of justice. In more detail, we want to know if one day when you find out that the court has made a big mistake, do you have the courage to stand your ground and hold the court accountable. ”

Wang Qilin's color changed suddenly: "You just said that you can test me if I dare to rebel?"

Wu Jingzhan smiled: "No, it's not a rebellion, please rest assured, the Wu clan will never plot rebellion, if anyone plots against my big man, my Wu clan will not let him go!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Then what are you testing me for?"

Wu Jingzhan didn't answer, he looked at the town, and was in a daze at this bleak area.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Our Wu Clan ancestor has seen beetle snakes. ”

"According to the genealogical records, the ancestor of the Wu clan was a monk who was determined to kill demons and demons, and the art of reversing the dry was obtained when he killed a great demon. It's a bit shameless to say, the Wu clan started with this evil art. ”

Wang Qilin was silent, this is not unexpected.

Wu Jingzhan turned his head to look at him and said, "But since we obtained this secret technique, we have adhered to a criterion, not to take the fate of those who are good, but only the fate of those who are evil. ”

Wang Qilin smiled but did not speak.

Wu Jingzhan said, "Don't you believe it? But at least I know that it is. In fact, what our Wu clan got from the demons at first was a fragment, just like you already know, our ancestors recorded it on the genealogy with secret techniques. ”

"The secret art contained in this fragment is extremely vicious, and our ancestors feared that it would harm the heavens and peace, so they chose to target the evildoers, deprive them of their lives, punish their souls, and use it as a means of punishing evil and promoting good. ”

"Later, when the previous dynasty was first built, at that time, the land of the Central Plains was full of wolf smoke, there were soldiers and chaos everywhere, demons and monsters were rampant, and mythical beasts and monsters appeared frequently. ”

"One of them is a beetle snake came to Pingyang Mansion, one of our ancestors happened to help it, the beetle snake saint helped us perfect the art of reversing the dry, from then on, this Taoist art is no longer an evil art, we want to get a person's fate, no longer need to torture that person. ”

Wang Qilin said: "As long as it is still used to deprive a person of his life, it is evil magic." ”

Wu Jingzhan smiled, he took off his waist knife and put it down, asked for the demon knife next to him, and asked: "There are two knives here, my knife has never killed people or even seen blood, but your knife has killed ghosts and killed people, so let me ask you, which of these two knives is righteous and which is evil?"

Wang Qilin said: "I understand what you mean, but ......"

"But there are many wicked people in the world, and there is a saying you must have heard, murder and arson, gold belts, roads and bridges, and no bones. Wicked people do all evil but have a great destiny to be rich, and good people to be good to others are destined not to end well, the way of the world is like this, do you think it is right?"

Wang Qilin said: "Maybe this is God's arrangement." ”

Hearing this, Wu Jingzhan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Is the heaven's arrangement all right?"

"If evil is black and good is white, we Wu believe that people are gray. There are no pure wicked and no complete good, and this world is neither black nor white. ”

"Therefore, after our Wu clan got the great opportunity of the beetle snake, they gradually took charge of Pingyang Mansion, and implemented the rule of law in the mansion, and tried their best to persuade the people with laws and regulations, so that the good side of the people could be carried forward, and the vicious side could be self-restrained. ”

Wang Qilin nodded and said, "This is very good. ”

Wu Jingzhan said sincerely: "Lord Wang, it is rumored that our Wu clan is arrogant and domineering, but we are not such a group of people, I came to you today to hope that you can have a correct impression of our Wu clan, instead of everyone following the clouds and becoming tigers." ”

Wang Qilin said: "I have a good impression of the Wu family, at least I have been in Pingyang Mansion for so long, and I have not found out that your Wu family has any traitors. ”

Wu Jingzhan said with a smile: "This is the best, then the seventh master will stay here and continue to bask in the sun, and I will go down to lead the catchers to collect the temple." ”

Wang Qilin stopped him and said, "Hey, Master Wu, why do you Wu Clan think so highly of me? I'm just a little iron captain, since we met, I feel that you have looked down on me twice, not only have you not embarrassed me, but have been convenient for me everywhere. ”

Wu Jingzhan said in surprise: "Uh, what's so strange about this? First of all, Tie Wei is not a small official position, this is already a high-ranking official, you have achieved such a high-ranking official at a young age, our Wu clan's first choice after knowing you is to befriend you instead of offending you, isn't this a normal choice?"

"Secondly, we don't think highly of you, but you are really powerful, you have solved big cases in Jixiang County, and when you arrived in Pingyang Mansion, you not only solved several cases, but also arrested the evil official Wu Wei and killed the worm of the Twenty-Eight Nights, if you can do these things, our Wu clan will definitely be polite to you. ”

"Finally, Lord Wang, you may not have a clear understanding of your own status, right? You are the handsome master of the younger generation of Heavenly Eunuch, not only our Wu Clan, but also other forces want to befriend you!"

Wang Qilin's face sank like water, he waved his hand to show that he understood, and asked Wu Jingzhan to leave first.

When the roof was gone, he grinned, "So I'm so awesome?"

"It's awesome. Xu Da said with half of his face under the eaves.

Wang Qilin was so angry when he looked at him that he picked up a piece of tile and smashed it: "What are you doing sneakily?

Xu shouted: "Seventh Master, you don't know the hearts of good people, I saw that Wu Jingzhan came to you, and I was afraid that he would be unfavorable to you, so I ambushed here and was ready to support you at any time." ”

Wang Qilin was stunned, he found that Xu Da's words were irrefutable, and now he was indeed at fault, so he was even more angry......

After three or four days, the sea was clear and peaceful in the city of Pingyang.

It is said that the bloody storm on the side of the imperial court, the news has reached the imperial court, and the forces on the Wu side and the forces to which Liu Bo belongs have begun to clash.

The Wu family really looked up to Wang Qilin, and sent people over every day for three or four days to send food, drink, and gifts, and in late October, a heavy snow spread all over the city, and the entire seven towns of Pingyang Mansion became seven snow cities.

The snow in Fucheng came later than in the surrounding counties, and this is its first snow of the year.

Rich families eat cattle and sheep, ordinary people eat chickens and ducks, and poor families will also boil a pot of pork bone soup or vegetable soup to relieve the cold.

The Wu Mansion has a large population, and they have to slaughter cattle to hold a family banquet at this time of year, and then this year they invited Wang Qilin.

Wu Jingzhan personally came to the door to invite him, Wang Qilin politely refused, he pointed to the door and squeezed his eyes and said: "Suisui Lady wants to boil soup and cook antique soup, and our family is going to eat, so I won't go to your family banquet, and I ask Lord Wu to forgive me." ”

Xu Da came up and said enthusiastically: "Seventh Master, our relationship is so hard now, why are you still calling someone Wuda?"

"What's the name of Master Wu if you don't call it?"

"Jing Ye, how intimate it is to call Jing Ye, right?"

Wu Jingzhan smiled: "This title is indeed intimate. ”

He said again: "Seventh Master, you should come, our Wu clan also knows the good name of Suisui Niangzi, and invited her to our house early this morning to be the master of the spoon, this Chuxue family banquet is under her full control, so she is afraid that she will not be able to make antique soup for you." ”

Wang Qilin was stunned: "Really? Okay." ”

Wu Jingzhan said: "You can bring the brothers of the post house and your family together, our Wu family's banquet room is big enough, and the more people, the more lively it is." ”

He looked left and right and added in a low voice: "There is still something to do at this banquet, we have caught a group of remnants of the previous dynasty through the Landa Temple, Seventh Master, it has something to do with you!"

Wang Qilin chuckled in his heart: "What do you mean?"

Wu Jingzhan said: "The remnants of the former dynasty we caught are a team of people, and the leader in it is called Huang Gongzi, and he said that he is your person!"

Wang Qilin: "Huang Gongzi?

"Yes. ”

"Wori, you got this thing to catch?"

Wu Jingzhan asked, "Is he really your person?"

Wang Qilin actually didn't want to meddle in this matter, and it was not a good thing to have anything to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

But Huang Junzi didn't seem to have done anything bad, but he made great contributions when he killed the wormworms, and his shouts for the people were quite loud at that time.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "He is indeed a fine work that I planted in the remnants of the previous dynasty, just like the monk you planted in the Wu Beggar Gang. ”

Wu Jingzhan said: "Then you come over early tonight, let's go talk to him together." ”

Sending him out of the post house, Wang Qilin went to the fifth flavor along the way.

Black Bean is also here, he is squatting in the snow in a new padded jacket and doesn't know what to do, and his ass is pouting.

Wang Qilin approached quietly, and after some testing, he gently picked it with his toes.

The black beans plunged headlong into the thick layer of snow.

The screams were muffled by the snow.

He pulled himself out angrily, jumped up and turned around with an angry expression.

After seeing Wang Qilin's appearance clearly, he quickly restrained his anger and revealed a weak man's smirk: "Uncle, uncle." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "What are the black beans doing?"

Black Bean hurriedly hid his hand behind his back and whispered, "Didn't do anything, uncle, I'll go first." ”

Wang Qilin grabbed him and smiled coldly: "Little rabbit cub, what are you hiding from your uncle?

Heidou struggled to hide his hand and shook his head: "I didn't, I didn't hide it from my uncle, how could I hide it from my uncle? ”

Wang Qilin hooked his hand at him and said, "Take out the hand behind your back." ”

Black Bean lowered his head.

Wang Qilin asked him to look up but he didn't look up, so Wang Qilin squatted down and tilted his head to look at him: "Do you think I won't be able to see your face like this?" Take out your hand and show me what's inside!"

Black Bean stretched out his small fist, his face full of fear.

"Open!"

Black Bean hesitated: "I'll open it, don't be angry after that uncle sees it." ”

Wang Qilin coaxed him and said, "Uncle is not angry......

Black Bean spread his hand and sprinkled a handful of snow on his face, then stepped back and shouted, "Uncle, you want to see it yourself, you said that you are not angry!"

Xu Da and Shen Yi, who were following behind, laughed: "Seventh Master, you were played by this kid." ”

Shen Yi said: "Don't look at this kid who looks stupid, in fact, he is quite clever." ”

Black Bean laughed when he saw them laughing, and he said, "My nephew is my uncle, and everyone says that I look like my uncle." ”

Shen nodded a little and said, "Don't say it, it's really like ......"

Wang Qilin shouted at him: "Sword out!"
