Chapter 930: Vacuum Hometown
The words were divided into two ends, Qin was on a mission, next to the pearl spring, it was getting late, the tables and chairs had been removed, and Wang Xian was still sitting by the spring and pondering. A pair of slender jade hands gently draped his cloak over him.
There was no need to look back, Wang Xian also knew who was coming, gently pressed the hand, sighed and said, "It's hard to ......"
"Official," in the mansion, Gu Xiaolian resumed her women's clothes, wearing a green long skirt, her skin was more and more white than snow, and her jade face was as delicate as a flower. "Didn't you already subdue those three guys?"
"How can it be so simple...... Wang Xian said bitterly: "I have observed that these three people are more afraid of the White Lotus Sect than they are for the imperial court, and in this situation, it is probably unrealistic to expect them to provide much help." ”
"If you don't rely on them, who can you rely on?" Gu Xiaolian understood Wang Xian's state of mind, and raised her hand to gently rub the temples on both sides for him.
"Yes...... Wang Xian smiled self-deprecatingly: "Who else can you rely on besides them?" ”
"On your own." Gu Xiaolian said softly: "Official, these people can only be used as tools, and important things have to be done by themselves!" ”
"That's right, that's why I said, it's difficult!" Wang Xian closed his eyes slightly and said: "The water in this pool in Shandong is too deep......
"It's better to let the concubine go to investigate on behalf of the official," Gu Xiaolian volunteered: "Anyway, I was also the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus." ”
"You are now a shameful traitor committed to the leader of the Jinyi Guard," Wang Xian shook his head, smiled and took her slender waist in his arms, and rested his head on her soft chest: "I'll let you go, wouldn't it be a meat bun beating a dog," he paused, "or two meat buns......"
"Official......" Gu Xiaolian saw him making fun of himself again, twisted his body and said: "People are many miles bigger than buns......
"Don't move." Wang Xian leaned his head between the two 'meat buns' and closed his eyes slightly: "This posture is conducive to my thinking......"
Gu Xiaolian smiled helplessly, and had to act as his human pillow motionless, until it was completely dark, Wang Xian stood up suddenly, which startled Gu Xiaolian.
"Official, is there one?" Feeling Wang Xian's emotional changes, Gu Xiaolian hurriedly asked.
"How can there be officials?" Wang Xian smiled evilly and touched Gu Xiaolian's chin: "I should ask you." ”
"Official......" Gu Xiaolian was disgusted, Wang Xian had no choice but to raise his hand to surrender, and said softly: "Fight!" ”。
The next day, Wang Xian secretly summoned Zhou Kang and ordered him to determine the location of the Buddha's mother. Zhou Dang confirmed that what Liu Ben said was right, the Buddha Mother was connecting the sect from county to county, but not in Jiaodong, but in Qingzhou.
"Monitor closely, and she must accurately grasp her every move!" Wang Xian was overjoyed, what he was most afraid of was that the Buddha Mother would not be able to hide it, and there was no hope of finding a needle in a haystack. As long as she's always on the water, no matter how difficult it is, there's always hope of catching her!
"Yes!" Zhou Dare responded in a deep voice, and wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"Say whatever you want, what are you doing?" Wang Xian scolded with a smile.
"Yes." Zhou dared to take the order and left.
After Zhou dared to leave, Wang Xian said to Lingxiao, who was bored and teasing the bird in the courtyard: "Change your clothes, I'll take you out to play." ”
"Okay!" Lingxiao was already suffocated, and when he heard the sound, he threw the millet in his hand and ran back to the room to change his clothes.
Hearing that Wang Xian was going out, Zhou Yong said with a sad face: "My lord, don't leave the house easily." If you really want to go out, you must bring enough guards! ”
"How?" Wang Xian frowned slightly: "Someone wants to kill me?" ”
"According to reliable information, the White Lotus Sect has listed adults as the number one target to kill, and the Han King's side has also sent a lot of people to Jinan......" Zhou Yong said with a bitter face: "These people are all coming for adults, we have too few people in Jinan, adults must be careful." ”
"Got it." Wang Xian nodded, but still went his own way: "I will change my face, no one can recognize me." ”
"That's still too dangerous......," Zhou Yong persuaded hard.
"It's safe for me to stay in this garden all day," Wang Xian couldn't help this second pole, so he could only say patiently: "But my eyes are black, and I can't see anything outside!" Am I here to recuperate in Shandong?! ”
"There are Zhou Kang, Shi Wan and them to help the adults to investigate, and there are also officials from the three divisions, what do the adults not know?" Zhou Yong didn't dare to agree.
"Less nonsense, with so many of you around, I still have to and eat by myself!" Wang Xian's patience ran out, and he stared rudely, Zhou Yong had no choice but to stomp his feet out to prepare......
After the tea kung fu, Wang Xian pretended to be a merchant, Gu Xiaolian and Lingxiao pretended to be his companions and servants, the three of them were all martial arts, did not go to the front door or the back door, climbed over the courtyard wall more than one zhang high, and left the Qin Cha Xingyuan.
Zhou Yong helplessly climbed over the wall and followed depressedly.
The three of them came out of the alley and went to the street of Quancheng. Wang Xian looked at it, the street was full of shops, hanging signs from all walks of life, whether it was a merchant selling goods or a customer buying goods, they were very brightly dressed and looked very prosperous.
But Wang Xian always felt that there was something strange, first of all, there were too few pedestrians, and it was hard to imagine that such a small number of customers could support so many magnificent stores. When he threw the question to the second daughter, Lingxiao smiled and said, "You think this is Nanjing and Beijing, how can there be so many people?" ”
"Then there shouldn't be so many stores." Wang Xian shook his head slightly, his eyes searching the crowd. Gu Xiaolian also observed attentively, and after a while, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Lingxiao looked at Gu Xiaolian puzzled.
"I'm laughing at the officials in Shandong, it's really a big deal," Gu Xiaolian smiled and leaned into Lingxiao's ear, and said softly: "I have found so many people to act, and I have to pay a lot of money just to eat every day." ”
"Acting?" Lingxiao was surprised: "You said that these people are not doing business, they are acting?" ”
"Not bad." It was Wang Xian who answered, he nodded, and said with annoyance in his tone: "Chu Yan, they are playing monkey tricks for me!" As he spoke, he pointed to a few pedestrians not far away: "When they passed by outside, I obviously heard a few of them complaining, wandering around here every day, I don't know when this day is a head!" ”
"Yes, those shops that sell things are only chatting with customers, and no one has any intention of buying or selling." Gu Xiaolian chuckled: "And the pedestrians on the street are empty-handed, I wonder if they are afraid of getting dirty new clothes?" ”
"Really......" As soon as they said it, Lingxiao also noticed that all the people on the street were indeed acting, and none of them really wanted to do business. I couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this happening?" ”
"It's just whitewashing!" Wang Xian snorted.
"There are also security considerations." Gu Xiaolian said softly: "If you guess correctly, these people are all selected officials, so as to ensure that Lord Qincha's actions are foolproof." ”
"Let's go farther," Wang Xian snorted again, "I don't believe it, the whole city of Jinan is full of actors!" After speaking, he angrily pulled out his legs and left, Lingxiao and Gu Xiaolian glanced at each other, the former stuck out his tongue and hurriedly followed.
Zhou Yong and the others were originally hiding in the dark, and said that there was no danger near this line, and the adults would go back after a casual stroll, but when they saw Wang Xian walking away, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly chased after him......
Wang Xian walked out of five or six streets in one breath, and the situation in front of him changed suddenly, only to see that the pedestrians on the street were densely crowded, and most of them were ragged and dish-faced, and the shops on the street were also in tatters, and the goods sold were all coarse cloth and inferior pottery, brown rice and green vegetables.
Looking at the streets full of sewage and garbage, those people crowded at the base of the wall, and the numbness and resentment on the faces of the people, Wang Xian understood that this was the real Jinan City.
"Why does it stink so much?" Lingxiao covered his nose and said with a frown.
Gu Xiaolian shook her head and motioned to Ling Xiao to stop talking, because the three of them had already attracted the attention of others. I couldn't see it on Xingyuanwai Street, but when I arrived at this real street, the three of them stood out from the crowd in terms of dress and complexion......
Wang Xian ignored this, and his eyes fell on the black and white words pasted on the lintels of those shops - I saw that there were eight seal characters written on them: 'Vacuum hometown, childless old mother'. In the past, Wang Xian would not know these eight words, but his current errand is to investigate the White Lotus Sect, and all the information about the White Lotus Sect is familiar with it, how can he not know that these eight words are the teachings of the White Lotus Sect?!
When he was in the capital and searched the homes of those craftsmen, he had seen these identical eight words several times!
Looking at those shops and customers before talking, they all put one palm and two fingers, and the other finger pointed to the chest, which is clearly the etiquette of the White Lotus Sect!
Wang Xian also saw that although many pedestrians were in rags, they would have a piece of red cloth wrapped around their heads, which was the color of the Red Turban Army!
On the crowded street, Wang Xian's mind was buzzing, and he didn't know where he was for a while......
"Official." Seeing his depressed appearance, Gu Xiaolian hurriedly pulled his sleeve and called Wang Xian back to his senses.
Wang Xian nodded, walked away from the street quickly, and when he reached no one's place, he stood still, panting heavily.
"Xiao Lian, do you feel like returning to Guangling County?" Wang Xian's forehead was drenched with sweat, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Like." Gu Xiaolian really felt the same way, nodded and said, "Everything is so similar." ”
"But this is the provincial city of Jinan!" Wang Xian was frightened and said, "How can it be like this?" ”
"This shows that ......" Gu Xiaolian's voice also trembled a little: "There are already white lotuses everywhere here......"
"Is the government blind? Let the White Lotus Sect be so arrogant! Wang Xian gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "The political envoys, the envoys, and the commanders are all in Jinan!" What would it look like elsewhere? I can't imagine it! ”
"Yes...... Gu Xiaolian said softly: "Everything here is very similar to before the incident of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi, but it looks many ......times more serious," he said and persuaded softly: "Official, let's go back, this is not a place to stay for a long time." ”
Wang Xian nodded.
