47 Behind the scenes
Looking at the two bronze doors at the yamen slowly closing, Xie Yixiang was sure that there was no one else in the yamen, so he exhaled a long breath, and the tiredness on his face became thicker and thicker. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the end, he just beat the head-catcher and beat the old leaf hard, and then it was hastily ended, disappointing the people who came to see the excitement. However, the purpose behind this trial is the first step to establish his authority, from now on, the entire Chilong Town can be regarded as recognizing the identity of Xie Yixiang's "Qincha", once it spreads, the black-robed people under the "mysterious force" will have some scruples because of this, at least they dare not come against the court with great fanfare. So until they come up with a new way to deal with themselves, it should be considered temporary security.
So what really worries Xie Yixiang at the moment is that just now when he was observing the words and expressions, the eyebrows of Mayor Wu and the head of the Jin Catcher were clearly colluding and secretly hiding ghosts, I was afraid that since they set foot in this Red Dragon Town, these people have been secretly monitoring and guarding, and it is even very likely that they are on the same path as those black-robed people. At present, Dai Qi and Qu Baoshu and the Hai Yisu Haidao Master of the Corner Pavilion of the Heavenly End of the Sea disappeared in that strange fog at the same time, and the old man Qingzhu was even more timid because of the death of the Ding family sisters known as "Tengyun Driving the Mist", and the disappearance of "that guy" that he had never seen from beginning to end.
Xie Yixiang was disappointed, and couldn't help but think of her senior brother Xianjingyue. These days, she has been secretly visiting the area of Poyang Lake, concentrating on finding the stolen military salary of the imperial court, but she rarely thinks of Xian Jingyue, who is known as "the first person in the world in ten years", and I don't know where the senior brother is now?
You must know that after the Dongting Battle in Huguang that day, Xie Yixiang disdained Wen Tianting, Xie Qinghui and others to treat Jiang Wangcai as a substitute for the dead, so after killing Li Weiyao, the leader of the Jianghai Gang in front of Zhuang Haoming's grave, he never met Wen Tianting and his party again, and naturally he never went to see his senior brother Xian Jingyue. After that, she went on the road alone, and according to the clues mentioned by Jiang Wangcai and Zhuang Haoming, "Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, and Chaos Beast", she came to this Red Dragon Town repeatedly, and only then did she come to today's situation step by step, and finally fell into the current predicament.
If she hadn't been so reckless at that time, she had first met with her senior brother in Yueyang City, and then came to Poyang Lake, Jiangxi Province to investigate the case, and used Xian Jingyue's trick of "splitting Huashan alone" with the ancient and golden trick, how could she be so restrained and bullied at this moment? She couldn't help but secretly think to herself: "In the past, whenever I encountered any danger, my senior brother would always appear at the most critical juncture to help me turn things around and turn defeat into victory. I really wonder if this time he will also fall from the sky and suddenly appear to help him?"
It's a pity that Xie Yixiang's hope is about to fail. She didn't know that when she was thinking about it like this, Xianjingyue, who was thousands of miles away on the land of Sichuan and Shu, was only one step away from death at this moment:
Xian Jingyue took one last look at his pitch-black parting—the one that had been cut in two—and then sighed to himself, slowly closing his eyes.
In this regard, Xie Yixiang naturally didn't know that she had just remembered Xian Jingyue in the court, but she inexplicably remembered another one-the "Demon King" that she had released from the prison with her own hands, and the words of friend and foe.
Until this moment, Xie Yixiang still couldn't understand what kind of meaning she wanted to convey to herself in the dream of the Yao family's ancient mansion that day, those faceless people with ponytails on the front and back of her head? Although she had found dozens of corpses in the Yao family's ancient mansion, it was undoubtedly only the tip of the ice, and she had never been able to understand the mystery in it. The only clue that convinced me was the smell of smoke that I smelled after waking up from a dream. You must know that although there are many tobacco smokers in the Central Plains since the ban on the sea was opened, the intuition in Xie Yixiang's heart firmly told herself: The smell of smoke must be the taste left by Yan Sidao.
Since Yan Sidao has also intervened in this matter, according to his ability, he is probably the person behind all this thing in front of him. As Zhuang Haoming once said, this Yan Sidao has the ability to "enter the mortal world, and there is no appearance in all forms", Xie Yixiang has also seen his exquisite disguise technique, and several times if it were not for Yan Sidao deliberately showing his signature dry tobacco stick, I am afraid that I will not be able to identify him from the vast sea of people.
Could it be that Yan Sidao had already disguised himself as an inconspicuous character in this Red Dragon Town early in the morning, and then quietly lurked beside him? Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but perk up. Although this Yan Sidao is not a good type, and he is not a person on the same road as himself, compared to the confusing suspense in Chilong Town right now, in the depths of Xie Yixiang's heart, not only does he not reject this Yan Sidao, but he faintly feels an inexplicable comfort.
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang's face suddenly felt hot, but fortunately, she was the only one in the empty Yamen of Chilong Town at this moment. At that moment, she hurriedly retracted her mind and secretly scolded herself for being cranky. In fact, the reason why Fang Cai wanted to separate Mayor Wu, Jin Zhutou and others and insist on staying alone in this yamen was not just to be able to rest for a night, but to have a more important purpose, that is, to consult all the official documents stored in this yamen.
You must know that under the whole world, it is not the land of the king, even if it is a small town like Chilong Town, as long as there is a county guard, it must be reported to the imperial court regularly every year. Among them, from the payment of taxes on money and grain, to the head of household registration, whether it is submitted to the imperial court or recorded by oneself, there will definitely be relevant official letters and documents. Xie Yixiang has been in this Chilong Town for more than a month, and has a clear understanding of the situation, although the "Yamen" of Chilong Town where he is at this moment, although it is not a real imperial court yamen, but Mayor Wu and Jin Zhutou and his cadres work here on weekdays, so in order to make it more convenient for them to run errands, those relevant official letters and documents can only be stored in this so-called Yamen of Chilong Town.
Although Xie Yixiang had such a plan, she did not have much expectation for this move. Fang had just seen the private actions of Mayor Wu and Jin Zhutou in the public court, they were naturally extremely shrewd people, how could they leave any important official documents in this yamen? Even if they were confused for a while, if they really stored something important in this yamen, how could they let themselves stay here alone without interference at this moment? Therefore, the only thing Xie Yixiang can do at the moment is to seriously check all the official documents stored in this yamen to see if he can find any clues from them, so as to discover the secrets of Mayor Wu and Jin Zhutou, and even the secrets of the entire Chilong Town.
And at this moment, in the dead of night, there is only Xie Yixiang left in the yamen of Chilong Town, which is a God-given opportunity deliberately arranged by her. But Xie Yixiang is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all, and she is still a little faintly scared when she is alone in this empty yamen at the moment.
At that moment, she quietly walked in the direction of the back hall, and at the same time scolded in her heart: "Since Yan Sidao has already participated in the affairs here, it is very likely that he is still the person who laid out the layout behind the scenes. I really don't know when this guy will show up to see him?"
