Chapter 3 The storm is coming

Qi Xuansu traveled all the way to Fengtai County this time, of course, not for the transaction of a thousand peaceful money, nor was he intending to involve the struggle in the temple. He was ordered to take something away from Li Hongwen.

So he used the "inn" to hide his identity and whereabouts, and at the same time he also inquired about the news in the "inn". Finally, he waited for the man who spent a thousand peace money to protect Li Hongwen. Then he learned from the man's whereabouts of Li Hongwen - Qingluanwei actually played dark under the light. After taking the people in the county government, he detained Li Hongwen's family in the county government and was not escorted to the hundred-household office.

Although the man who issued the commission may have been a fish that was accidentally released by Qingluanwei, using him as bait to catch the big fish and shrimps together, Qi Xuansu still decided to go.

Because he comes from the Qingping Association.

For example, today is like a yin and yang Pisces. "Yang" is the court, and "Yin" is the Taoist sect. Both sides depend on each other. You have me and I have you, just like the black dots in "white fish" and the white dots in "black fish".

But the Qingpinghui neither belongs to the court nor the Taoist sect. It wanders between the two and is a secret organization.

The members of the Qingping Society are from all walks of life and are mixed with fish and dragons. Moreover, their members often have two identities, and they are from the court or Taoist sect on the surface, but in secret they are from the Qingping Society. Therefore, the members of the society do not show their real names, but use the lyrics as their respective code names.

Qi Xuansu has been joining the Qingping Association for two years, and his lyrics name is "Jincuodao".

Some people mistakenly believe that "golden wretched knife" is a kind of treasure knife. In fact, "golden wretched knife" refers to the ancient sword coins, which are incised with gold, and are also called "wrong knife", which generally refers to money.

But Qi Xuansu has no money, so the name of the word "六文" is a bit inappropriate. In fact, only Qi Xuansu himself understands that "golden wretched knife" means money, which may not necessarily mean having money, or owing money. The name of the word "六文" reminds him that he owes "debt".

Another identity of Qi Xuansu is a Taoist disciple, who is only a seventh-grade Taoist priest, while Donghua Zhenren is a second-grade Taoist priest. The gap between the two is like the difference between the county magistrate and the Shangshu. The so-called Donghua Zhenren greets the commander of Qingluanwei, but Qi Xuansu is just talking nonsense and confusing the public.

...

At this time, the man who had completely drunkenly in the lobby of the "inn" was already asleep and never woke up. He never expected that this drunkenness would make him drunk for the next life.

The shopkeeper came to his table, looked at the pot of wine that had not yet been finished, and sighed: "'Inn' is credible, but 'Inn' also rules, that is, local sub-colons are not allowed to participate in court affairs. If you want to interfere in the temple, you have to go to the general account. If you break the rules today, you will die."

After saying that, the shopkeeper flipped the body and turned it into lying on his back. Then he reached out to take out the appointment book from the corpse's arms. After glanced and confirmed that it was correct, he stacked it with the appointment book left by the "inn" and rubbed it casually, turning it into ashes and dissipated with the wind.

Then the shopkeeper slapped his high fives three times and walked out of a secret door.

The shopkeeper tore the official ticket of a thousand scattered money into pieces, sprinkled it on the corpse, and ordered: "Old rules, be more scrupulous."

The two servants lifted the body in silence, and then disappeared silently in the secret door.

During the whole process, the lobby of the "Inn" was elegant and silent, and some people looked as usual and ignored. Some people showed fear on their faces and lowered their eyebrows and stared at them.

The shopkeeper returned to the back of the counter, still feeling kind, unlike a gangster, but like a smiling businessman.

Only many elderly people who often make a living here know that this shopkeeper is not a simple person, and his life is not a small number of people. Otherwise, he would not be the head of the "Inn" semicolon here. He is just because he is old and has a high status, no longer fights and kills, and begins to pay attention to human nature, be kind and brings wealth, and cultivates one's own character, which makes him look a bit charitable.

But this kind of charity is just superficial. The world is not a good place, so there are no good people.

The shopkeeper's actions just now were all about killing the chicken to warn the monkey. In addition to this unruly man, the young man who was jealous of money was not much better. Previously, the shopkeeper had already mentioned him in his words, but he was determined to act alone. As the saying goes, it is difficult to persuade the damn ghost, so no wonder the shopkeeper.

...

Fengtai County Town, County Yamen Hall.

A tall figure was paced back and forth, and he was also wearing a green brocade dress, but it was more luxurious than the Qingluanwei small flag that had died in the charity village. The belt turned into a jade belt, and the beast head also turned into a tiger head with white eyes.

The small flag is only from the seventh rank, and the general flag is the seventh rank, and this person is from the sixth rank test households. He is already considered a real power figure in a county town.

Further up are the sixth-rank 100 households and the fifth-rank deputy Qianhu. As for the fifth-rank 100 households, they are already high-level figures in the Qingluan Guard, and there are only twenty thousand households in the Qingluan Guard.

Zhou Feilong habitually clamped the bronze tiger head around his waist with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the head of the "Thin Tiger Knife" around his waist with his fingers. His black-faced and white-backed official boots stepped on the shiny black ground, making footsteps that were neither light nor heavy.

Sitting in the main seat not far away was his colleague, Li Sanxin, a hundred households of Qingluanwei.

Zhou Feilong stopped and looked at Li Sanxin without any trace.

Although Li Sanxin was just promoted to the 1000 households last year, as a confidant who is deeply trusted by the Thousand Households, there have been rumors recently that he will be promoted to the 1000 households of the sixth rank in the near future.

Li Sanxin seemed to have no idea about Zhou Feilong's gaze. He held the tea bowl with his left hand, covered the bowl with his right hand slowly, and then gently blew away the heat. Then he took a sip.

Zhou Feilong withdrew his gaze and his mood was a little darker.

This time, when I came to Fengtai County to deal with Li Hongwen, I only needed one hundred households to test the matter, but the Qianhu Adult sent two hundred households to test the hundred households. The intention was nothing more than two: one was that the Qianhu Adult was worried about him Zhou Feilong, and the other was that Li Sanxin had a secret order.

Zhou Feilong was a Qingluan Guard for decades, and even the prefect was arrested, not to mention that he was a magistrate like Li Hongwen, so he was not worried about anything, so he expected Li Sanxin to have a secret order.

As for what this secret order is, he had no clue.

At this moment, Li Sanxin put down the tea bowl in his hand, glanced at Zhou Feilong's unmoved tea bowl, and said, "This tea is good. Once you soak it in boiling spring water, the tips of the buds float vertically in the tea water. It should be the first new tea this year. It was picked when the buds were revealed at night. With the salary of you and me, I can't buy a few taels in a year. If Brother Zhou doesn't drink it, it would be a pity."

A smile appeared on Zhou Feilong's face. He sat back on the chair, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Okay, it's the top-notch one." Zhou Feilong put down the tea bowl and praised.

Li Sanxin asked with a smile: "Brother Zhou seems a little absent-minded?"

Zhou Feilong corrected his face and said in a deep voice: "It just happened that Brother Li mentioned this, so I'll just say it. Although Li Hongwen has been arrested, many of his remnants are still outside. Let's release his trusted guard and use him as bait to attract Li Hongwen's remnants, and then catch them all in one go. Logically speaking, there is no omission in this plan. After all, I have been doing this for so many years, but for some reason, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."

Li Sanxin's eyes suddenly became deeper, and he picked up the cover bowl again, and the rising heat covered his face: "Brother Zhou is worried too much."

Zhou Feilong also picked up his bowl of hot tea, which was also blazing white mist, swallowed it in one gulp, and said with a dark look: "I hope so."

Li Sanxin looked at the sky outside the door. The originally gray sky seemed to have been poured with a pot of thick ink.

Zhou Feilong stood up and came to the door, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "The weather in the south changes as soon as possible, and it is moody."

He is from the North and is not very used to the weather here.

“It’s rainy days, it’s always a good time to kill people.”

The outside was covered with dark clouds, and the room became darker. Li Sanxin's face was hidden in the darkness, making people unable to see it. His voice came from behind Zhou Feilong, and it was dark, which made Zhou Feilong feel a little rayed on his back.

Zhou Feilong turned around and looked at this colleague.

At this moment, thunder suddenly rose, illuminating the heaven and earth and the dim main hall.

Under the blue and white lightning, Li Sanxin's face became clearer.

Li Sanxin smiled at Zhou Feilong, and his white teeth were a little cunning in the dim environment.

Wind and thunder are always with each other.

After the thunder, the wind walked past the city, and the originally quiet city suddenly became lively. The women busy collecting clothes, the children shouting, the vendors who were preparing to hide from the rain, and the pedestrians who were running home quickly were in a hurry, with their steps chaotic, and the streets were in a mess.

Countless voices were connected, as if the entire city was whispering softly.

A heavy rain suddenly came.

The raindrops as big as soybeans hit the eaves, making a crackling and crisp sound. In an instant, they gathered on the tiles into thin streams, flowing down the eaves corners, and hanging silver-bright water lines.

The two people in the county yamen hall were indifferent to the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time.

The same was true for the Qingluan Guards guarding outside the hall with a knife and armor. They let the raindrops hit the armor, and the sound was fierce.

On the long street outside the yamen.

A young man wearing a straw hat and a cloak was coming towards the county government, which was not very suitable for this small town full of fireworks.

The young man's cloak was also soaked in the rain, revealing the shape of a sword and a sword.

It is indeed a good weather to kill people, especially in such heavy rain. As soon as the blood flows down, it will be washed away by the rain. After the rain is clear, no trace will be left.

The rain hit his hat and made a "bang" sound. The rain gathered on the inclined surface of the hat into thin streams, dripping like a line along the edge of the hat, and formed a circle of rain curtains around the hat, like a curtain.
