At noon in this late autumn, it should be sunny, but because of the convergence of lead clouds, there is no half of daylight, and the top of the entire Beimang County seems to be buckled with a huge cover, dark and dark, and there is no half of light, and it is almost impossible to reach out and lose five fingers.

In the dim sky, there was a cloudy wind gradually rising, and the chill was bone-chilling. Its voice is terrible and penetrating, and if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of ghosts crying and mourning.

The streets of the city were empty, except for the occasional procession of officers with knives passing by.

In the whole Beimang County, there are only ten regular servants who are in charge of catching fast, but each regular officer can be equipped with two deputy officers, and each deputy officer can be equipped with two helpers, so that ten fast catchers are equivalent to seventy people, plus the soldiers and Qingluan guards stationed in the city, there are hundreds of people, and it is enough to maintain law and order in a city.

At this time, the order of the county government has spread all over the city, and the people have those who leave their homes without permission, and they will be arrested and imprisoned immediately, so at this time, the people are panicked, and every household is closed, for fear that before a natural disaster, a man-made disaster will be encountered first.

At this time, Zhang Nanmu walked out of the county office, dressed in a stone blue silk robe, wearing a square scarf, if you don't look at the jade pendant on his waist, the wrench on his thumb, it really looks like an ordinary reading talent, not at all like a Qingluanwei commanding Tongzhi, the magistrate of Beimang County, who was wearing a seven-grade official uniform, followed behind him, constantly wiping the fine and dense beads of sweat on his forehead with a white towel in his hand, and he didn't know if it was hot or frightened, he said with a low wry smile: "Lord Tongzhi, what you just said is true? If it is true, the lower official ...... The lower officials can't afford it!"

Zhang Nanmu stopped, turned around and glanced at the local parent official with a smile, and said with a sneer: "Lord Wang, what are you afraid of? There are also the prefect's yamen, the political envoy's yamen, the governor's yamen, and the governor's yamen, and there are tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls. ”

The local parent official smiled bitterly and wanted to say something, but he saw a middle-aged man in a green robe walking from the side, knowing that it was Qingluan Weizhong, he took a few steps back and stopped talking.

Zhang Nanmu glanced at the magistrate, and after a little muttering, he lowered his voice a little and said: "Wang Zhixian, this official has received the exact news, and now the masters of the good and evil factions are coming to Beimang County one after another, and the next Beimang County will be a stormy situation, so I hereby advise Wang Zhixian, just look at some things, don't come forward to provoke, so as not to burn yourself." ”

Wang Zhixian's face oozed a circle of sweat again, and he nodded again and again.

Zhang Nanmu gently patted Wang Zhixian's shoulder, making Wang Zhixian's originally slightly bent waist a little shorter. He showed a hint of a smile and turned to meet the Qingluan Weizhong who made Wang Zhixian a little unable to see the depths.

When the two of them were far away, the magistrate who was standing in front of the yamen slowly straightened his waist, the caution and flattery on his face had disappeared, and a person who looked like a master secretary stepped forward from behind and said in a low voice: "Master." ”

Wang Zhixian turned around and walked towards the mansion, and asked calmly, "What did the old ancestor say?"

The butler followed behind him and said softly, "Ancestor's meaning, everything is according to the original plan. ”

Wang Zhixian stopped suddenly, with a cold look on his face, but his tone did not change much, he said "I know", and then waved his hand to signal the master to go down.

......

On the other hand, this Qingluanwei who met with Zhang Nanmu is not a bystander, it is Zhao Wuqi, the governor of Qingluanwei who followed Lu Yanbing, after the defeat of Tianle Sect, Lu Yanbing returned to the imperial capital, and Zhao Wuqi stayed to clean up the mess, and the big net set up by Gu Fengxian and Zhang Nanmu and others was naturally removed, and he instead focused on the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and Jingzhou City.

Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and Jingzhou City Bosi are both in charge of Liu Gonggong's children and grandchildren, and their faction Qingluanwei is close to Liu Gonggong, although Lu Yanbing once said "let them kick the quilt by themselves", but that is under the premise that Tianle Zong can be held by Qingluanwei, there are huge interests of Tianle Sect, naturally you can ignore that this is not a deep alliance, such as today's defeat of Lezong, the situation is different, and it is natural to focus on allies.

After Zhao Wuqi met the supervisor of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the two had a deep conversation, Zhao Wuqi learned about the official and silver case from the mouth of the Jin Gonggong, and the reason why this case was involved can be traced back to the eunuchs in the palace. Because Liu Gonggong is from the Taoist lineage, so his disciples and grandchildren also believe in the Taoist sect, and because Liu Gonggong is from the Ge Soap lineage, and now the Tibetan old man of the Soap Pavilion Sect is friendly, so his disciples and grandchildren are not lacking in people who believe in the Tibetan old man, for the statue of the Tibetan old man, and every month to the Soap Pavilion Sect to offer a large amount of silver, so there is a private use of official silver, and according to the news of the Weaving Bureau, some people in the six doors have followed the clues, all the way to Beimang County.

Because of this incident, Zhao Wuqi and others came to Beimang County again, ready to completely end this disaster.

It's just that they didn't expect that when they came here, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and they were actually involved in a pool of troubled water.

Zhang Nanmu said in a deep voice: "My lord, at this time, there are frequent visions in Beimang County, I am afraid it is not an auspicious omen, now we have not found the trace of the people of the six doors for a long time, and the Soap Pavilion Sect is also strange and unpredictable, do you want to leave first and avoid the limelight for the time being?"

Zhao Wuqi looked up at the pitch-black sky above his head, and said expressionlessly: "It's indeed not a good omen, if you just leave rashly, if you find out about the misappropriation of official money in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it in the palace." ”

Zhang Nanmu asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Wuqi pondered slightly, and said: "Stay for three more days, if there is no progress in the matter, we will not be late to withdraw, so it will be an explanation for the palace." As for the Soap Pavilion Sect, we have already said hello, and we want to see how we are treated in the face of Gonggong Liu. ”

Zhang Nanmu nodded yes.

......

In a luxury mansion in Beimang County, there is no light in sight, the wind is gusting, and a middle-aged man is sleeping in the bedroom with his eyes closed. In other words, he is outside the "Law of Travel" in the "Yin God Dafa".

There was a sudden sound of broken footsteps outside the door, and the middle-aged man instantly came back to his senses, slowly opened his eyes, and then there was a gentle knock on the door.

The middle-aged man sat up from the bed, his eyes were a little confused, this was a sign of unstability after his soul left his body, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

After the person who knocked lightly on the door outside the room was allowed to push the door in, it was an ordinary-looking woman, and reported respectfully: "There is news from the ancestor's side, and the slave maid does not dare to make up her own mind, so she has to disturb the master." ”

The middle-aged man had a mistake when he practiced the "Yin God Dafa" in his early years, and there was a hidden disease inside, and before he reached the perfection of the whole thing, every time he returned to the soul out of the body, it would cause symptoms of instability, so when he was out of the body and fugue, there was no one in the hundred zhang, and he did not dare to disturb idle things.

After a long while, the middle-aged man suppressed his annoyance caused by his unstable spirit, and said coldly, "Take it." ”

The woman handed over a note about an inch wide in both hands.

After the middle-aged man took the note and read it, he destroyed it casually and ordered, "Change clothes." ”

The woman answered softly and began to serve her master to change her clothes.

Not long after, a middle-aged scribe dressed in brocade clothes, holding a folding fan, walked out of the mansion with his maid Shi Shiran.

......

In a welcome pavilion outside Beimang County, there sat a middle-aged woman with a flowery appearance and moonlight, holding a cigarette stick in her left hand, and constantly pinching her fingers in her right hand to calculate, muttering to herself: "Could it be that the Soap Pavilion Sect also knows about that? But the Soap Pavilion Sect has never been proficient in the way of divination, how did they know about it? Could it be that there are masters behind the scenes?"

The woman's face was solemn, her toes were a little, and she came to the top of the pavilion, condescending, with a wide field of vision, she looked in the direction of Beimang County, and continued to pinch her fingers to calculate the evolution, "If there is a master hidden in it, who will it be? Xu Wugui of the Yin Yang Sect? Zhang Jingxiu of the Zhengyi Sect?"

Because the deduction of the heavenly machine is extremely consuming, but in just a short time, the woman's cheeks are already red and blue. It's just that she still didn't stop, and while continuing to calculate, she also had a little resentment towards her husband: "You should have gone to Longmen Mansion in person." ”
