Chapter 31: Fake Death (I)
Long Yiwei is famous, but it is not difficult to suppress Song Zheng, and it may make it difficult for Leopard Taowei and Pinghulou, but Pinghulou can bear this price.
He has been smart since he was a child, and when he was eight years old, he was found by the master to have three Qingyun Dao veins, and he was admitted to Pinghu Building early to guide his practice, and the journey was smooth, and at the age of thirty-six, he broke through the realm and became the Heavenly Venerable, and everyone knew that he could be expected to control the country.
At the age of sixteen, he took his first maid, the second at the age of twenty-four, the third at the age of thirty, and the fourth girl who had come from the white-naped crane last year.
He loves the four girls around him, in his opinion, most of the people in this world are filthy, but the four girls around him are clear water. Doing something for them must be worth it for him.
Soon, his reply reached the white-naped crane: Seven days later, he will ascend to the Quehui.
The white-naped crane understood, laughed and relieved the troubles, and hugged the pretty girl Hu and went in the dark.
......
Song Zheng finished handling the day's official business, changed into a civilian dress in the yamen, and called Du Baihu over: "......What is the name of the woman in the Yanhong Mansion?"
Du Baihu hurriedly reminded him: "Wine lady." ”
"Yes, it's her, it's been a while since she was arrested, you send someone to take her out, and the root official will send her back together." ”
"Yes. "Du Baihu went.
The wine lady is the middle-aged woman in red who was captured in the Yanhong Mansion in order to kill chickens and monkeys. The people below can see that Lord Qianhu is actually not angry with Yan Honglou anymore, and he has not embarrassed her, although he has been locked up in the guard, he has been entertaining her with delicious food and drink.
Du Baihu didn't go for a long time, and came back with a wine lady who was dressed in plain clothes and didn't use powder.
When she saw Song Zheng, she was still a little afraid, and she couldn't speak. Song Zheng didn't talk to her, and beckoned to Du Baihu: "Let's go, you don't need to bring others today, just follow you." ”
Du Baihu was overjoyed, which shows that he is the henchman of Lord Qianhu.
When the group of three arrived at the Yanhong Mansion, it was the middle of the afternoon, there was no business, Song Zheng still entered through the side door, and said to the wine lady: "Where is Gui Jiulian? Take me to see her." ”
The wine lady was a little hesitant, but she didn't dare to disobey, Song Zheng was now in her mind, and she was already equivalent to the devil.
The three of them walked all the way to the back of the Red Building, opened a small inconspicuous door, and behind it was a narrow path sandwiched between two white walls.
Across this particular path, there is another courtyard.
A plain, ancient wood.
Gui Jiulian had already sensed Song Zheng's arrival and greeted her in the courtyard: "Thank you Lord Qianhu for holding the real murderer, my family can be blinded." ”
Song Zheng waved his hand to the wine lady: "You can go." ”
The wine lady glanced at Gui Jiulian, the old woman also secretly bowed her head, and the wine lady left as if she had been pardoned.
There were only three of them left in the courtyard, and Song Zheng spoke: "Senior, let's be honest, where did Bai Laoqi and Xian Xian go." ”
Du Baihu, who was following him, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "My lord, are you saying that Lord Bai and Miss Xian are not dead?
Song Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I chased the cult and Lin Yizheng, just because they intended to rebel, when did you say that they were the murderers of Bai Laoqi?"
"But ......" is not only Du Baihu, almost everyone has a preconceived idea that the cult and Lin Yizheng are the murderers who killed Bai Laoqi and Xian Xian, and all the evidence can be correct.
But only Song Zheng knew in his heart that no one had admitted that they had killed Bai Laoqi.
And after repeated scrutiny, he also felt that it could not be a cult. Bai Laoqi didn't find out about them, why did he expose himself?
Gui Jiulian lowered her eyelids and said lightly: "My lord still doesn't believe in our Yan Honglou, since that's the case, my lord can search for it casually, and the old body doesn't have to defend in vain." ”
Song Zheng sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard: "Senior, look at this." ”
He reached out and took something out of his bosom and placed it on the stone table in front of him.
It was a small jade box, and when it was opened, it had a thin layer of spiritual liquid, exuding a special fragrance. When Gui Jiulian saw these spiritual liquids, her face changed: "This is Pan Gongxie's Heavenly True Spirit Dew. ”
Song Zheng nodded, and he secretly begged for it with Ban Gongxie.
"Originally, you did it very realistically, even if I thought it was ...... They were all concealed by you, thinking that those two iron men were really transformed from corpses, and the traces of souls in them were obvious.
But after his eyes were smeared with the Heavenly True Spirit Dew, some of the traces that had been hidden were exposed. ”
He paused slightly, and then his voice was a little cold: "The forged corpses were all found in your Yanhong Mansion, if you want to say that you were not involved, do you think I will believe it?"
Du Baihu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Bai Qianhu's death to be so "twisted and turned". He turned his head to look at Gui Jiulian, hoping to hear the truth of the matter from the old woman's mouth.
Gui Jiulian lowered her head and was silent for a long time.
Song Zheng didn't rush her, his fingers lightly tapped on the stone table, and said, "I have been in the city for nearly ten days, and my seniors should see my code of conduct." All I want is the truth. ”
Gui Jiulian sighed faintly: "They are also hard-working people, why should adults...... Alas!"
She sighed, turned around and walked back: "Your Excellency, please come with me, if you want to know the truth, ask them personally." ”
Du Baihu: "Really alive......"
Gui Jiulian's courtyard, the main entrance faces a very secluded alley, and when the three of them go out, there is a coachman waiting. The coachman looked like he was fifty years old, his hair was gray, Gui Jiulian commanded, he nodded in understanding, and he didn't speak. When everyone got into the car, the carriage moved steadily with a flick of the whip, and there were not many bumps along the way.
Song Zheng sat in the car, his qi cultivation skills were excellent, and he did not move or say anything along the way. Du Baihu was a little breathless, and looked out of the car window from time to time: "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there. ”
After a while, he actually went out of the city, Du Baihu was a little apprehensive, and asked Song Zheng in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to let Lord Qi support?"
"No, I don't. ”
Gui Jiulian heard Du Baihu's words and glanced at him, with a little contempt in her old eyes, which made Du Baihu's face red.
The carriage stopped steadily on the edge of Taiji Lake, and another small boat was waiting here. got on the boat and sailed towards the lake, Du Baihu saw the direction clearly and said dumbly: "Guzhou Island?"
Gui Jiulian replied: "Pinghu Tower." ”
Du Baihu's face was stunned and incomprehensible, but Song Zheng showed a sudden look. Gui Jiulian saw the reaction of the two in her eyes, and nodded secretly: She is young and in a high position, and she really has her own merits.
Ordinary monks visit Pinghu Tower on the island, they all invite people from the main gate, but Gui Jiulian took them to a small door behind the island, knocked lightly, and a child opened the door to see her, smiled and saluted: "Grandma Gui is here, the old man is in the study, I will take you over." ”
One Lake, Two Sects, Three Families, Song Zheng now understands it. Not to mention anything else, this huge Taiji Lake, the aura of heaven and earth is incomparably rich, but only the sect of Pinghulou has established a sect here, and you can know the strength of Pinghulou.
And that representative small building, not everyone can live in.
Xiao Tong led them straight to the top floor, and when the disciples of all generations of Pinghulou saw him along the way, they all greeted him with a smile, and those with low seniority had to salute. The child is also knowledgeable, and responds in a crisp and polite voice.
The top floor is open, the windows on all sides are open, and the breeze blows on the lake, which means that it is quiet and cool. In the center is a large bookcase, and an old man in cloth with gorgeous hair and silver beard is putting down his pen and covering the work he has just written with a piece of white cotton cloth.
It was obviously a work of Taoism, just the ink on rice paper, there was a condensation of Yuan Energy, derived from fine blue thunder, a few flashes through the white cotton cloth, and there were a few more carbon black dots on the white cotton cloth. Song Zheng saw the thunder light, and his eyelids jumped.
The old man turned around and smiled at Gui Jiulian, "Still can't hide it?"
Gui Jiulian felt guilty: "There are expectations of predecessors and the trust of bitter lovers, Jiulian is ashamed." ”
She introduced Song Zheng: "This is the sect master of Pinghu Tower, the predecessor of Zhong Yundai, a strong man in the town. ”
"This is Lord Leopard Taowei Qianhu, Song Zheng. ”
Song Zheng hugged his fists and met him with the courtesy of a junior: "I've seen Senior Zhong." He secretly observed that this may be the only strong man in Huzhou City, but in him, he already has the meaning of old and decayed, and I am afraid that his longevity will be exhausted.
When he arrived at Pinghu Tower, Song Zheng guessed that it was him, and only when he made a move, could Leopard Taowei investigate deeply but found nothing.
Zhong Yundai smiled and bowed: "Lord Qianhu is young, but he has unpredictable wrists, and what he did when he entered Huzhou City, the old man also heard about it, and it was not simple." ”
Song Zheng still said: "As a dragon guard, I have the responsibility to inspect the world. The kid is not pedantic, but seeks the truth to have peace of mind. ”
Zhong Yundai made a gesture and invited them to take a seat: "When Sister Jiulian came to visit, the old man knew that he must not be able to hide it, and he had already asked people to call them over, and the time should have come." ”
The knock on the door sounded immediately, and someone said outside the door: "Sect Master, someone is invited." ”
"Come in. ”
Two doors opened, two figures walked in, Song Zheng only saw these two shadows, he felt a harmony, and sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that today I am afraid that I can really only ask for the truth and peace of mind, and I can't do anything else.
When the two of them came in, Du Baihu was prepared but still lost his voice and said: "Bai Qianhu, it's really you ......"
Bai Laoqi is not very handsome, but he has been in a high position for a long time in practice, revealing a kind of bearing that sees the world from the inside out.
The slender girl is really as Gui Jiulian said, she is born with a spirit of essence, transparent and pure, which makes people see it kindly.
The two first met with the strong man of Zhenguo and his benefactor Gui Jiulian, and then smiled apologetically at Du Baihu and said, "It's me." This is Song Zheng, right?"
