It rained last night, and there was mud and water on the road, so when the sun came out, a stream of steaming heat emitted from the soil.

Countless people inside and outside Xianyang carried loads and baskets, drove cattle and horses on the road, and the old men mixed in the crowd and walked down the river.

However, what the old man did not notice was that the farmers carrying baskets and carrying loads on their backs and left and right sides of his strokes were mostly strong-wicked men, all of whom were secretly watching his every move.

Chen Xu, Yu Wuya and others also rode up at this time and slowly followed the old man more than ten feet away.

The old man walked two or three miles along the Wei River embankment and turned into a large residential building. A group of imperial guards scattered and followed under Ying Bu's command. Chen Xu, Yu Wuya, Sanwang Si and others stopped under a big tree at the intersection and waited for about twenty minutes. Ying Bu, wearing a straw hat and jumping on a load, came hurriedly.

"Marty, I have found the place where the old man lives!"

"Let's go~" Chen Xu waved his hand and the group immediately followed Ying Bu.

This is an extremely complex gathering area for migrant workers. Because the Wei River Ferry is nearby, cargo ships from south to north are loading and unloading here, so a large number of helpers and labor slaves live on the river bank, and slowly gather into this large area of ​​houses. The houses are built with rough stones and wood, the roofs are covered with thatch, the houses are small, the eaves are low and tattered, and the layout is chaotic. In addition, there was a heavy rain last night, and the ground was dirty and muddy, and the smell of rotten and moldy under the strong sunlight.

A group of people walked forward in the muddy mud and water, and groups of rats could be seen running around everywhere, and many black and thin children were looking for food in the mud and water and garbage dumps.

If it were normal, Chen Xu might have stopped to observe and sigh, but he was not in the slightest mood at the moment and hurriedly followed Ying Bu into the depths of the house.

Seven or eight minutes later, two imperial guards with baskets and broken hats on the roadside were hiding under the eaves of a house to observe. Seeing Chen Xu and others coming, they quickly bowed and whispered: "Marty, right in the house in front of their left hand, I have never seen it!"

"Do it!" Chen Xu reached out and took out a hand gun from his arms, opened the hammer and opened the fire door.

"Roar in~" Ying Bu waved his hand, and the fifty imperial guards who were ambushing around appeared almost at the same time. He pulled out his sword from the backpack and rushed towards the house from all directions.

"Protect the Marquis!" The ten accompanying Xuanwu Guards also drew their weapons to surround Chen Xu in the middle.

"Boom~" The fastest imperial guards rushed to the door of the house and kicked the half-closed wooden door in one step. Then a few roars, screams and crackling sounds of punching and kicking came from inside. When Chen Xu walked to the door, the imperial guards had already dragged three people out, one of which was the white-bearded old man who was just now.

However, it looks a little miserable now. The hair and hair are scattered and the clothes are covered with mud, and there seems to be a few punches on the face. The other two are similar, but they are both young men in their teenage years, and they are all Taoist decorations.

Suddenly, a group of rash men holding swords rushed into the house and beaten up randomly. The three of them were in a daze at this time. In addition to developing various ways to beg for mercy, they were lying on the ground with their heads in their arms and trembling.

Looking at the old man being dragged out, Chen Xu was both happy and depressed.

What was happy was that the arrangement was very appropriate and the arrest was successful.

What is depressed is that the success is so smooth.

I thought that such a guy who really looks like an old god should have some special abilities, but I didn't expect that he was an ordinary old man. Except for his white hair and a longer beard, he was not irritating at all. It was like hooking up with a woman online to check in a room. He ran away excitedly and took off his pants, but found that he was his ex-girlfriend. It was indeed a little irritating, but he lost interest in an instant.

Ying Bu stepped forward and grabbed the old man's hair, raised his face and looked at it and said, "Marty is right, it's this person!"

Chen Xu nodded and kicked the old man to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, do you recognize me?"

"You...you...you...you are Qinghe...Qinghe Marquis?" The old man looked at the boy in front of him who was dressed in a used-style, not old squid cloth, but his face was covered with black and gray. Based on the farmers around him who were burly and holding swords, he instantly thought of Chen Xu's identity.

"Hehe, just recognize me!" Chen Xu sneered and slapped the old man in the face, "You donkey, you dare to frame me..."

Slap, another slap: "You dare to deceive my mother..."

Slap, another slap: "You dare to alienate me and my wife..."

Slap, slap again: "If you are caught by me today, don't think you will die..."

Just as Chen Xu slapped the old man in the face, many black, thin and ragged men and women walked out of the surrounding houses, all looking at Chen Xu and a group of guards with anger.

"What do you want to do? Why do you beat the old god?" A middle-aged man finally couldn't help it and stood up and said angrily.

"Yes, who are you? The old god helps us treat our illness..."

"Go to the ferry and ask the troop chief..."

Some people took the lead, and many people began to get restless.

"The imperial guards are here to arrest demons. Those who have nothing to do will retreat quickly. Those who dare to stop will die!" Ying Bu lifted his straw hat and took out a bronze waist sign from his waist and raised it in front of him and shouted.

Seeing this bronze waist-baring card, the onlookers retreated in fear in an instant. The timid woman and child even screamed and hid in the room. There was no noise around them in an instant.

"Tie these three people and take them to the factory!"

Seeing that the situation was complicated, Chen Xu was not in a hurry to take revenge. He ordered a group of imperial guards to tie up all three of them with hemp ropes and stuff them with torn linen into his mouth and drag them away.

The house where the old man lives is not much different from other houses around it. It is low and humid. There are many bottles, jars and things inside a few small stoves and copper pots. There are many cloth pockets hanging on the beams, which contain all kinds of messy herbs, even dead snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, etc. The room is filled with a messy smell, which smells dizzy.

"Take all these things away!" Chen Xu just went in and took a look, then covered his nose and retreated.

Then seven or eight imperial guards entered with their backpacks and bamboo baskets, and soon collected all the messy things inside, then picked them up and left, and soon there was only a crumbling thatched hut left.

"These imperial guards are so hateful. If the old gods are captured, who will treat us in the future!" Seeing Chen Xu and others leaving, some bold migrant workers then surrounded and communicated with each other. They were very angry when they looked at the empty house.

"Oh, forget it, don't talk about this in the future, otherwise we will be implicated!" a middle-aged man shook his head and said.

"Why don't you say that the old god doesn't even need money or food to treat us..."

"So what? They may be hiding here just to use us as a cover, and they must be kind-hearted!"

"How could you say that?" Someone was very angry.

"Hmph, this old man hides here in addition to treating us, and also makes some messy potions every day. I heard that he also uses dead babies and abortion fetus as medicine. If he is not kind, he is probably discovered by the emperor..."

"Ah!?" After hearing what someone said, many angry residents were frightened and hurriedly left with their mouths.

In a factory outside the city, there are only Chen Xu, Yu Wuya and the old man in a closed warehouse.

The old man was tied up and knelt on the ground like a rice dumpling. His hair was scattered and his face was blue and purple. His eyes and lips were swollen. It was obvious that Chen Xu had just started to take action, and he was almost unrecognizable.

"Say, who are you? Why do you frame me with poison?" Chen Xu sat on a sack of goods and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Marquis, please spare me. The old man was also bewitched... He gave his wife's medicine and soup recipe, but he wanted to frame the marquis!" The old man was so scared that his face twisted and his whole body trembled. He thought that what he knew without knowing was not the case, but the marquis of Qinghe had been taken to his old nest. Now even if he wanted to deny it, there was no possibility of it.

There is also legend that the Marquis of Qinghe was a disciple of the immortal family. Perhaps everything he did had been known to the Marquis of Qinghe. Thinking of this, the old man became even more afraid and kowtowed and said, "Go back to the Marquis, the old man was named Zheng Boqiao. He had been refining elixirs for His Majesty in the palace, but he had nowhere to go after being driven out of the palace last year. He heard that His Majesty summoned boys and girls in Qi to build a big ship to find the sacred mountains and elixirs, so he also planned to go out to sea with him. But a man named Mr. Hou said that I have no immortality and going out to sea with him would make the gods avoid him. He also gave me a prescription and said that as long as I refine the medicine according to the prescription and give it to you, the immortal weapon on the Marquis will naturally fall on me..."

"Duke Hou?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man and said, "Duke Hou is also called Hou Sheng?"

"The Marquis also knows him?" The old man was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly, "Not bad, this person's name is Hou Sheng, he is from Han, and he calls himself a disciple of the Immortal Family!"

"Hmph, this marquis is the real disciple of the immortal family. He has the magical powers of the prophet of the Hexagram. How could he not know him? This man and a sorcerer named Lu Sheng and Han Zhong bewitch His Majesty, saying that there are immortal medicines overseas, and that His Majesty can summon boys and girls to build a big ship to sea. But... Humph, these people are talking nonsense and deceive the emperor, and they may not be far from death!" Chen Xu said coldly.

"You mean... there is no sacred mountain medicine overseas?" The old man's face was dull and his eyes were wide open.

"You are just refining medicine for the emperor in the palace. You don't know what the effect of the magic pill is. Don't you know that you are also a liar?"

Chen Xu rolled his eyes in anger, then pinched his chin and began to think. The matter of framing himself was not very related to this old man named Zheng Boqiao, but this guy named Hou Sheng was making trouble. However, he had nothing to do with this Hou Sheng. Why did he use this vicious prescription to frame him?

A few minutes later, Chen Xu gave up on this question of wanting to break his head, stared at the old man again and said viciously: "Hou Sheng only asked you to frame me, but not you to frame my wife. Why did you say that my wife is a stone girl and cannot get pregnant? What's your attempt to destroy my family relationship?"

"Mr. Marquis spares my life. The old man is not talking nonsense. The Marquis's wife is extremely beautiful, but the old man is proficient in medical skills. Judging from his words and expressions, he can see that the wife is indeed sick and may not be able to have a baby!"

Chen Xu stood up and kicked the old man to the ground and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fuck, my wife is healthy, how can I not have a baby? Brother Wuya dragged him out and let Ying Bu dig a hole and buried it!"
