Li Qiufeng heard Yuanjue say this, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said to Yuan Jue, "Without further ado, the master had better leave the county seat today." At present, it is not peaceful inside and outside the city, after you go out of the city, only take the official road, go on the road after sunrise every day, and rest before sunset. And before dark, only rest in the big town, and never camp in the wilderness. ”

Yuan Jue saw that Li Qiufeng was more solemn the more he spoke, and his heart was full of doubts. It's just that she knew that even if she asked the reason, Li Qiufeng wouldn't tell her, so she had to nod. Li Qiufeng saw that Yuanjue agreed, so he said: "The junior will leave here." After this incident, if there is another chance, the younger generation should go to Taiyuan, Shanxi to meet the master. ”

After Li Qiufeng left the Ziyang Temple, he went straight back to the City God Temple. Along the way, I saw pedestrians coming and going, which was much more lively than in previous days. Many people have hung lanterns in front of their homes. Although most of these lanterns are simple, they add a lot of joy to the streets.

When Li Qiufeng walked to the gate of the City God Temple, he saw that not only high poles had been erected in the open space, but dozens of tables and cabins had also been built. Pastries are placed on the table, as well as windmills and rattles that children love. Some of the huts are decorated with colorful silks, while others are filled with boots, shoes and socks.

Li Qiufeng didn't expect that he had only been away for more than an hour, and this clearing had become like this, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw that Miaozhu was talking to several men, and there were three large carts parked beside him, and two or three large wooden barrels were placed on each trailer, as well as several large wooden boxes. When Li Qiufeng saw these big cars, he was stunned, as if he had seen them before, it was a little strange, and he couldn't help but look at them twice. That temple Zhu happened to turn his head, and the eyes of the two happened to collide together. He was stunned at first, and then walked over with a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle, look at this courtyard, is it completely different from yesterday?"

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Not only is the courtyard different, even the open space outside the courtyard has shelves, tables and cabins. I had been gone for just over an hour, and I was almost unrecognizable. ”

Miao Zhu smiled: "If you wait for two more days, you will be surprised." When it comes to the Lantern Festival, more than half of the people in the city will come to our City God Temple to see the lanterns. If you come late, you won't be able to squeeze in. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Originally, I didn't believe that the Lantern Festival would have such a scale, but now I can't believe it." When he said this, he saw that the men were pushing the three-trailer cart to the right side of the courtyard, so he said to Miaozhu, "Are there any wine in the barrels on those carts?"

Miaozhu shook his head and said, "This is the City God Temple, not a tavern, where will we prepare so much wine?" The barrels are filled with lamp oil, and the wooden boxes are filled with candles, all of which are prepared for the Lantern Festival. The villain told the uncle, these lanterns sent to our City God Temple need to use candles, and some use oil lamps. In previous years, most of the candles and lamp oil had to be prepared by the owner of the lantern himself, and although the yamen would also prepare some, if they were to be used, they had to spend money to buy them. This year, not only did the yamen have enough candles and lamp oil, but they also had their own access on the day of the Lantern Festival, without spending money. This year, a big official came to our martial arts city, and our people are blessed. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "There are more than a dozen barrels of these lamp oils together, where can I use so much lamp oil for the Lantern Festival? I'm afraid that the people of Xiuwu County will not be able to use it up together." The yamen is making a bit of a fuss?"

Miao Zhu smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't know about the dirty things here." The more oil the yamen bought, the more oil and water the people who did the work would get. ”

When Miao Zhu said this, he secretly looked left and right, and saw that there were no suspicious people around the two, so he lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "These lamp oils were bought at the Li Ji Oil Workshop in the north of the city, and the villain just heard from the shopkeeper Li who delivered the oil that the guys who handled this matter in the yamen could get at least fifty taels of silver this time." ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned for a moment and said, "So much money? ”

Miao Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, which of those guys in the yamen is not a vampire? When I went to the oil mill to buy oil, I made another profit from the oil mill shopkeeper. Together, I'm afraid that fifty taels is less. ”

When Miao Zhu said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "But I heard from Shopkeeper Li that the person sent by the Yamen to buy oil this year is a raw melon and egg, who was born with a stinky face, and he is rude in speaking and doing things. Fortunately, Xu Shuban of the Yamen followed him to the oil mill, and Shopkeeper Li added three taels of silver to Xu Shuban, so that the deal could be settled. That kid also came with Shopkeeper Li, damn it, with a look of anger, as if we owed him ten taels of silver. This kid went around the temple, this is not satisfied, that is not satisfied. His grandmother's, this bastard is just a small follower of Lord County, and it is even more difficult to serve than Lord County!"

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he said, "The follower of Lord County Cheng?

Miao Zhu was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "It seems to be." The villain just listened to Shopkeeper Li talking to this kid, as if he was calling him Yu Gongzi. Damn, calling him Yu Gongzi is to put gold on his face! This little beast didn't know which ravine it was and crawled out of the turtle, washed its neck, and went to the city to pretend to be rich. Phew!"

Li Qiufeng naturally knew that the follower of the county Cheng mentioned by Miao Zhu was Yu Chenghei. Since he arrived in Xiuwu County, although he has met Yu Fan many times, he has only met Yu Chenghei twice. One of them was outside the gate of the Chenghuang Temple, when Yu Chenghei led people to push a cart, as if he was about to deliver something to the temple.

Li Qiufeng thought of the trailer cart, and a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the right side of the courtyard. At this time, the men had pushed the three-trailer cart under the courtyard wall, and were trying to lift a large wooden barrel off the cart. Li Qiufeng was shocked, and recalled the night he met Yu Chengji in front of the temple gate.

"I see!"

Li Qiufeng couldn't help but scream, but Miao Zhu was startled. He asked with a blank face, "Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Li Qiufeng knew that he was a little out of shape, and when he heard Miao Zhu ask, Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I remembered something else." ”

He said a few more words to Miaozhu, and then returned to the backyard wing. After closing the door of the house, Li Qiufeng walked around the house excitedly, thinking in his heart that Yu Fan's master and servant had been manipulating everything behind his back. He had never suspected these two people before, and it wasn't until Yu Fan found him that he had a deep talk with him later, and he became suspicious of him. And that night, he rescued the judge and arrested Kuai according to the tolerance of the Yamen, and thwarted the conspiracy of someone to blame the Huashan faction. Yu Fan suddenly appeared, helping himself openly, but secretly letting go of the killer who was intercepting and killing and catching fast, which confirmed Li Qiufeng's suspicion of him. And just after hearing Miao Zhu talk about Yu Chenghei's purchase and transportation of lamp oil, Li Qiufeng had an idea, and finally figured out the conspiracy of the master and servant.

On the same day, Yin Zhutou placed Li Qiufeng in the City God Temple, Yu Fan didn't know about it at the beginning, but later Li Qiufeng met Yu Chenghei in front of the temple gate and led people to deliver things to the City God Temple, Yu Fan found Li Qiufeng and asked him to move out of the City God Temple, and then there was an unpleasant conversation between the two. Thinking about it at this time, Yu Fan's master and servant had long thought of using the City God Temple to lay it out, but they didn't expect that Li Qiufeng would live in the temple. After Yu Chenghei went back, he naturally informed Yu Fan of the matter. The two of them thought of driving Li Qiufeng out of the City God Temple. Later, Li Qiufeng kept dragging it out, and there was constant turmoil in Xiuwu County, although Yu Fan urged Li Qiufeng to leave the City God Temple several times, but Li Qiufeng didn't leave, and Yu Fan had nothing to do with him.

That night, he intercepted and killed the person who was appointed by the judge's yamen, and he thought it was Yu Chenghei. Li Qiufeng fought with him, provoking him to throw his long sword, and was about to draw a soft whip to fight Li Qiufeng to the death. Yu Fan, who had been watching from the side, knew that once Yu Chengsi showed his soft whip, Li Qiufeng would immediately guess his identity, so he hurriedly jumped out, on the surface he wanted to help Li Qiufeng besiege Yu Chenghe, but secretly let Cheng Hei go. From this point of view, the purpose of Yu Fan's master and servant is to blame the Huashan faction and force Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng and other famous and decent families to leave Xiuwu County. And this conspiracy coincides with the Japanese Bandits. Ji Dingzhong wanted to use Huashan and other sects to deal with the Japanese invaders, so naturally they would not send people to intercept and kill according to the tolerance of the Yamen of the Inspector to arrest the fast, so as to blame the Huashan faction and force the various sects of Wulin to leave Xiuwu County.

In other words, Yu Fan's master and servant are the undercover agents sent by the Japanese to Xiuwu County to preside over the plan!
