Zha Shidong, the prefect of Xiangyang, is a jinshi of this dynasty, and has always been known for his incorruptibility.

Mo Yan was escorted to the front of the court, and Zha Shidong saw that he was young and full of childishness, so he inquired about the case in detail.

Mo Remnant told how ten years ago, Gui Qi, the prefect of Yichang, asked Yan'er to marry the old gang leader Min of the Wushan Gang, and later poisoned and murdered the old gang leader's father and son together with Steward Xue, controlled the Wushan Gang and shared profits with Gui Qi every year.

"You're just a child, how could you know so well about what happened ten years ago?" asked Master Cha.

"These are all what Hall Master Miao and Mr. Xia told me. ”

"Well, there's more. ”

Mo Yan went on to recount what happened to Xia Bashan and himself in the Wushan Gang and his escape from the dungeon, but did not mention the use of ventriloquism.

"Miao Fenglin is dead, so where is Xiaba Mountain now?"

"I don't know, we haven't seen each other for almost a year. ”

"You said that all this is a long-planned conspiracy between Lord Gui and Lady Min, but is there any evidence?" asked Lord Cha.

Mo Yan shook his head.

"Mo Yan, if you don't have real evidence, you are framing the court officials, and the crime is not small, don't talk nonsense. Cha Shidong warned him, and then instructed, "Come on, take the prisoner back to the prison, and remember that he is young, so that he can be spared the pain of torture." A letter was sent to Yichang Mansion immediately, and the prisoner was sent over after the reply. ”

After Mo was left, Zha Shidong pondered, this kid didn't seem to be lying, Miao Fenglin and Xia Bashan were locked up in the dungeon of the Wushan Gang, and how could they escape from prison in the Yichang Mansion Sea Capture Documents? It seems that this prefect Gui Qi does seem to be involved in this case, but Miao Fenglin is dead, Xia Bashan is on the run, and there is no evidence to guess him. This should not be publicized in advance, otherwise it will not look good as a colleague.

In the Xiangyang prison, Mo Yan lay silently on the musty straw mat.

I was unlucky, I hid in the mountains for two years, but I still knew to the government, it was discovered when I tried the martial arts competition in Wudang Mountain, but no one knew me there. Could it be that the people of the True Martial Arts Temple have leaked the news, who could it be? In the near future, it seems that only Senior Brother Bai Puzi has returned to Xiangyang City to recuperate from his injuries and is not on the mountain, but if he wants to reveal his identity, why should he wait until now. Thinking about it, I still can't figure it out.

The ten-month period of "shrinking the tire and dispersing qigong" has passed, and there has been no madness, and it seems that it has probably been practiced. I thought that I would go to see Jin Danzi after returning to Jiugong Mountain, but the senior brothers finally surrounded themselves and couldn't get out of it at all, and now they are locked up in this Xiangyang prison, and they don't say that they will be sent to Yichang Mansion, I'm afraid it will be rare to see it in the future, and Jin Danzi may think that he is bedridden.

Mo Mo smiled bitterly and opened his baggage, which was sent by Xiangyang Mansion after the quick inspection, a few old clothes and bamboo tubes containing the two flavors of real medicine were there, but the remaining more than ten taels of silver were missing, and they might have become the extra money of those officials.

It was late at night, Mo Yan was still not sleepy, so he lay flat on the straw mat to adjust his luck, and the cell was very quiet, only a few slight snoring sounds came from other cells.

The meridians all over the body and the dantian are empty, and I can't feel a trace of breath, so it's really breathless.

Mo Yan got up and walked to the iron grille of the prison door, there was an oil lamp on the wall of the corridor outside the door, he imagined the Miao Hall Master's "closing the door in the air", and pushed the oil lamp with his palm, silently, but saw that the orange flame flickered with it. I tried to push it again, the flame flickered again, and I tried many times in a row without exception, it seems that my heat is not enough, and I have to practice diligently.

After nightfall the next day, Mo Yan was about to prepare to practice, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor, and a jailer came over to open the iron fence and said to the people behind him: "Hurry up, you have to hurry up." ”

Then I saw a rickety old man carrying a food box trembling into the prison door, and the iron fence behind him immediately "clicked" and the jailer's footsteps gradually faded away.

"Don't be disabled. The old man called softly.

"Mr. Xia!" Mo Yan exclaimed.

"Shhhhhh ”

"Mr. Xia, how do you know I'm here?"

"This morning in Jiugongshan, they said that you were arrested by Xiangyang Mansion, so the old man bought off the jailer to come in and see you. Hungry, eat something. "Shabashan opened the food box, and there was not only chicken and meat inside, but also a small jar of wine.

"You drink, I don't drink. Mo Yan handed over the wine jar.

"You're an adult now, how can a man not drink, it's better to stay here and drink slowly to pass the time. The old man can't stay for long, Mo Remnant, how did you get discovered by the government?" asked Xia Bashan.

"It may be that someone in the True Martial Arts Temple leaked the news. ”

"Oh, who could that be, anyway, that real yoko is not a good thing, he tried his best to drive you down the mountain in the first place. Shaba said angrily.

"Let's not guess yet, Mr. Xia, how are you now, it's okay. ”

"Of course the old man is very good, they can't catch it if they change places in two days, but you can't do it here, you have to think of a way to get you out. ”

"After the palindrome arrives in a few days, they will send me to Yichang Mansion. Mo Yan said.

"You can think of a way on the road, don't worry, the old man won't leave you alone. ”

"Do you still live in the city, that's dangerous. Mo Yan said worriedly.

"No, these two are the Huimin Inn in Wuliji, south of the city" Xia Bashan had just said this, and the jailer's hurried footsteps and voices came from outside the cell: "The old man hurried out, and he was about to change shifts." ”

The iron bars of the prison door were opened, and Xia Bashan told Mo Yan not to worry, there would definitely be a way.

The cell was quiet again, Mo Yan was upset in his heart, so he opened the wine jar, and a spicy breath came to his nose, such a choking thing, why is everyone still greedy for the things in this cup.

After the first swallow, there was a stream of heat that extended from the throat to the abdomen, and the spirit was lifted and I felt fine. Mo Mian tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, the meat was fragrant, although he did not quit meat in the Taoist temple, but he was still vegetarian every day, and the clear soup was always almost empty.

Inadvertently, half of the jar of wine was drunk, and Mo Yan's head began to be a little dizzy, wiped his hands on the prison uniform, burped and then lay down.

In the second half of the night, I heard a "click" sound, and the cell door was opened.

Mo Yan woke up suddenly and sat up, saw a masked man in black come to him, threw a piece of clothing in his hand to Mo Yan, and said in a low voice, "Change on." ”

Mo Yan felt inexplicable, but seeing that the person who came seemed to have no malicious intent, and the voice sounded familiar, he took off his prison uniform and changed into civilian clothes as he said.

The man in black looked around left and right, and suddenly a finger of his ear poked at Mo Remnant's acupoint, and Mo Remnant lay down as soon as he tilted his body.

The man picked up the burden on the ground and saw that nothing else was left, so he picked up Mo Yu and carried it on his shoulders and quickly walked out of the prison cell. At the end of the corridor, there were several jailers lying on the ground and in the guard room, and the man in black came out of the cell door to the courtyard wall and jumped over, carrying Mo Yan over the high wall, and then jumped on a fast horse that had been prepared, and galloped all the way out of the city.

After traveling a few miles out of the city, the man in black dismounted in a small forest, threw Mo Yan to the ground, and said: "You kid is a bit evil, you can wake up on your own in such a short time after being hit in a sleeping hole. ”

Mo Yan had no choice but to stand up, and after being caught off guard by a finger in the prison, the true qi hidden in the eight veins of the Qi Jing in his body instantly gathered and hit the closed acupoints. However, I don't know what the man in black means, so he didn't say anything and pretended to be in a coma, not wanting to be discovered by him.

"It's you, Uncle Wen. Mo Yan heard the voice.

The man in black ripped off the veil, and the moonlight shone clearly on his face, which was exactly what Wen Ruo needed.

"Bai Chizi, I heard that you returned to Jiugong Mountain and came back from the dead, and then you were imprisoned in Xiangyang Prison, and Poor Dao came overnight, so I wanted to ask a few words, I hope you will answer truthfully. ”

"Uncle Wen, may I ask. ”

"What do you mean by 'Chuandong Wenjia, white-faced Confucian, isn't he dead?'?" Wen Ruoxu said, his eyes fixed on Mo Yan.

Mo Yan was taken aback, and he couldn't remember when he said such a thing, but he remembered that the night he first arrived in Wudang Mountain, he felt familiar when he saw Uncle Wen, and now after he asked, he understood a rough idea.

"There was a white-faced Confucian student, holding a folding fan, who was killed at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Dali, Yunnan, and looked a bit like Uncle Wen. Mo Yan replied truthfully, he knew that he couldn't be fooled.

"Who killed him, and how did you know that he was from the Wen family in eastern Sichuan?" asked Wen Ruo.

"He was beaten to death by Mr. Mu, who taught a private school, while he was not ready to palm," so Mo Yan started from the debate meeting in Gantong Temple, to the bloody case in the temple, until the scene he saw in the pine forest and the case analysis after the incident of Li Sui, the prefect of Dali, and so on.

"Where is that Mr. Mu now?" Wen Ruoxu asked coldly.

"Since he took the "Linggu Landscape Map" to Cangshan to hunt for treasures, he has never returned, and it is estimated that he flew away after getting the treasure. Mo Yan replied.

"Bai Chizi, since you are a student of Mr. Mu, you should always know who he is, right?"

Mo was also curious to know what treasure Mr. Mu had found, and he remembered the inscription on the title page of the book "Mu's Ventriloquism", so he told Wen Ruodao: "It is said that he is from Ba County in Shuzhong." ”

"What you say is true?"

"I would never dare to hide anything from Uncle Wen. ”

"Okay, Bai Chizi, although the Xiangyang Prison has come out, you can't go back to Jiugong Mountain, so it's better to follow Uncle Shi to Wulongguan, with your talent, you can definitely become a first-class master in the future." Wen Ruo said.

"Uncle Wen, Bai Chizi has worshiped Zhenyangzi as a teacher, if he changes to Uncle Wen's disciple, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet in the future with the Shangqing faction, and besides, it will also bring a lot of inconvenience to Uncle Wen. "Mo Yan thought to himself, why don't I go, Xuantian Gong may not be better than Jin Danzi's "Shrinking the Fetus and Dispersing Qi Gong".

"Well, that's what I said, but your master's true Yangzi martial arts not only dare not compliment, especially his character is even worse, if he hadn't been jealous that Miao Fenglin was going to inherit the position of head and told Tianxu Zhenren, saying that he colluded with cult figures to be unfavorable to the True Martial Arts Temple, Miao Fenglin would not have been driven out of Jiugong Mountain. ”

"You mean that my master Zhenyangzi is informing?" Mo Yan seemed to feel something in his heart.

Therefore, Miao Fenglin was furious and injured his senior brother Zhenyangzi with the sixth layer of Xuantian Skill, violated the following door rules, and finally left with hatred. ”

Mo Yan fell into deep thought, this time the official government suddenly went up the mountain to arrest people, it should be a letter that he got after returning from Wudang Mountain. The head of Tianxu Zhenren wants to worship Qingxu Dao Chang as a teacher, so he will become the junior brother of Zhenyangzi, the same as the master of Miao Hall back then, the senior brother Bai Puzi suddenly went down the mountain to recuperate, and then the government went up the mountain to arrest people, all these things were coherent, and the doubts in his heart were gradually solved.

He was almost sure that he was plotted by his master Zhenyangzi and his senior brother Bai Puzi, and once again repeated the mistake of Miao Fenglin twenty years ago.
