Chapter Twenty-Three: Flaws (I) The Fifth Update!
"Silent Annihilation Hall?" Song Zhengyi frowned and called Liu Baihu up: "Lord Bai asked you to secretly investigate the Silent Annihilation Hall?"
"Yes, my subordinates have reported this matter to my lord. ”
"What's the result?"
Liu Baihu bowed down and said, "My subordinates have found nine suspected disciples of the Silent Annihilation Hall, and there are three other locations, which may be the strongholds of the Silent Annihilation Hall in my Huzhou City. ”
"Take someone there immediately, destroy the three locations, and get those nine people back for me!"
"Yes!"
Liu Baihu took people there, and Song Zheng and Chen Baihu returned to the yamen together to wait for news.
Chen Baihu looked at Bai Laoqi's coffin in the main hall of the yamen and let out a sigh: "Lord Bai can finally look at it." ”
If anyone in this world has the courage to openly assassinate Long Yiwei Qianhu, the Silent Annihilation Hall must be one of them. They have been fighting for thousands of years in the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty like rats crossing the street, and they have a "deep enmity in the sea of blood" with all the yamen of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, and there is no doubt that they have the deepest enmity with Long Yiwei.
If you have more debts, you don't have to worry about it, and if you don't bite if you have more lice, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to add a "murder of Long Yiwei Qianhu" to their many head-killing charges.
Bai Laoqi hindered their development in Huzhou, so he killed Bai Laoqi - this really seems to be something that the Silent Annihilation Hall can do.
In just half an hour, Liu Baihu, who had been divided into several routes, came back, and he brought back seven people: "My lord, two of them resisted arrest and have been killed on the spot." ”
Song Zheng nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Take it down, interrogate them separately, and finally show me their confessions." ”
"Yes!"
Liu Baihu went to interrogate, and Song Zheng got up and said, "Accompany me to see those three strongholds." ”
The three strongholds of the Hall of Annihilation are far apart and seem unrelated. First, it is a tofu factory in Xicheng, and the tofu makers are all hired people, who are being detained and shivering, not knowing what happened to the master's family and whether they will be implicated.
They knew Long Yiwei's clothes, so they were deeply afraid.
The second place is a green building in the center of the city, which is not as good as the Yanhong Building, but the scale is really not small, and here I found some of the "materials" needed for the cultivation of the Silent Annihilation Hall, that is, the soul of injustice!
But what really connects the Silent Destruction Hall and Bai Laoqi's death is the third place, a courtyard in Jiye Lane in Nancheng.
Jiye Lane is a street in Huzhou City that specializes in selling mules and horses, with people coming and going, and the smell is unpleasant.
There are several secret rooms under this courtyard, and one secret room stores all kinds of documents and materials of the Silent Annihilation Hall, because Liu Baihu came too quickly, they didn't have time to destroy them, and there are all kinds of information about Bai Laoqi that they have collected - obviously to prepare for assassination.
In the other secret rooms, special strange arrays are arranged, and some special monsters are conceived with spiritual light and spiritual liquid.
The two people who were killed were in the courtyard.
Some of the monsters bred have disappeared, and one of them, according to the introduction, is called "Iron Ghost Scorpion Demon", which is very rare, and Song Zheng has never heard of it. This monster has three needles in its tail, which is peculiar in toxicity, and once it stabs the opponent, it can immediately make the opponent die, and then slowly turn the corpse into pig iron.
There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and Song Zheng also knows that the demon clan in this world is strange, and he is not surprised if he has not heard of it.
He remembered the stone statue: "I'm afraid that person is the real head of the Silent Annihilation Hall in Huzhou, and these are just small minions." Unfortunately, the leader must have fled. ”
He looked around again and left: "Take care of this place, all these monsters will be transported back, and they must not fall into the hands of the gangsters again." ”
......
Later, news had already come out that the murder case of the former Bao Taowei Qianhu Bai Laoqi had been solved.
It's just that compared to noon, Leopard Taowei vigorously entered the city and had a big battle with the monsters, and the closing of the case seemed a little dull. Leopard Taowei found key evidence in Jiye Alley, which can prove that the murderer is the Silent Extinction Hall.
All sides breathed a sigh of relief.
There is such a young and vigorous, short-tempered, and eager to make meritorious contributions, and they know that Bai Laoqi is good. It was really Song Zheng's "reckless" behavior of besieging the medieval family and besieging Hongfu at every turn, which put too much pressure on them.
Everyone's butts are not clean, who knows if it will be their turn next time?
Song Zheng returned to Leopard Taowei and called a general banner: "Send someone to Lord Lei's mansion and say that I will come to visit him in the evening to thank him for his assistance in handling the case." ”
Chen Baihu and others were a little surprised, such a "knowledgeable" Song Zheng was not like him before.
Song Zheng smiled and said: "Lord Bai's case is closed, and then this thousand households will be officials in Huzhou City, and the relationship with Lord Zhou Mu should be eased." ”
Several people nodded abruptly.
Song Zheng waved his hand and said: "There is still some time, you go down first, the official will finish the closing documents and send them to Lord Xiao, he has always been very concerned about Lord Bai's case." ”
"Yes. The four of them retreated, and by the evening, Song Zheng had already divided his report into two parts, one was directly transmitted to Xiao Zhen through the Qi Array, and the other was sent back to Jingshi through the post station and reported in the yamen.
When the time was almost up, Song Zheng called the carriage and drove himself to the state governor's mansion.
Chen Baihu wanted to accompany him, but was chased back by Song Zheng: "Lord Bai's case has pressed everyone for so long, and finally the dust has settled, let's all go back and rest, I ask Lord Qi to accompany me." ”
Chen Baihu and the four of them received the order, bowed down at the door to see Song Zheng's carriage leave, then glanced at each other, smiled with relief, and said goodbye and went home.
Song Zheng's carriage went around, picked up Qi Bingchen, and went to the state pastor's mansion together.
As soon as the hour came, the four gates of the entire Huzhou City were closed, and according to the custom, the large array of city protectors opened up three percent of the power to alert the night sky.
Lei Minzhi is an old fox, he has been wondering what the purpose of Song Zheng's sudden visit is, he always feels that this Lord of Thousand Households is probably not so simple.
The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and the older the court, the more worried.
Because he couldn't figure it out, he decided to be cautious, and did not invite anyone to accompany him, so he ordered someone to prepare good food and wine, and waited for Song Zheng at home alone.
He estimated that Song Zheng was here for a showdown.
Taiji Lake has such huge interests, how can he, as the new Qianhu and Long Yiwei's talker in Huzhou City, not get a piece of the pie?
Lei Minzhi was very worried, because Song Zheng showed strength before, I am afraid it is not so easy to discuss, I am afraid that this wolf will bite off a large piece of meat.
However, he also sneered secretly: Your Song Zheng's errand in Huzhou City is actually not beautiful, it is difficult to say whether you can pass Xiao Zhen's level, and now you are in a hurry to share the spoils, and you don't know how to advance or retreat.
As soon as the appointed time arrived, Song Zheng and Qi Bingchen arrived, and they smiled and bowed their hands to Lei Min: "Lord Zhou Mu, there is a lot of trouble." ”
Lei Minzhi chuckled in his heart, the more he was angry, the more abnormal he became. He was accompanied only by his most trusted master, and the two bowed down to greet each other, Lei Minzhi smiled dryly: "Prepare a little thin wine, don't blame the thousand households for being rude." ”
......
Chen Baihu returned to his home, exhausted. He was alone, and the courtyard where he lived was also Long Yiwei's, and Weizhong sent a lieutenant to serve his daily life.
He casually took off his official robe, handed over the weapon waist card to the captain, and said tiredly: "I want to take a rest, don't disturb me if you have nothing to do." ”
"Yes. He knew that Chen Baihu was indeed tired during this time.
Chen Baihu entered the bedroom, closed the door and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, reaching out and gently pulling on a certain mechanism, his whole person slid down, and another formation phantom appeared on the bed, from the outside, he was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
The odd array even simulated a snoring sound.
He fell into a passage and slid all the way to the vault underground. In the secret room, an old man in dark gray civilian clothes was waiting for him. Yan Feiliu nodded at him: "It's here." ”
"Brother Yan arrived early. He casually agreed, and after waiting together for a while, another door on the side of the secret room was pushed open, and Liu Baihu walked in.
The three of them first came to the shrine on the north wall of the secret room, lit three incense sticks and bowed to them. The shrine ** is enshrined as a stone statue of a three-foot high ground, which is like a miniature version of the stone statue of the Divine Cult!
After three bows, the stone statue's eyes flashed with a spiritual light, and a strong will descended. The three of them hurriedly said, "Welcome to the Sect Master!"
The strong will asked, "Is everything done?"
"The case has been closed. Chen Baihu stepped forward to report.
"Good. The sect leader was satisfied: "Although there are some surprises this time, the purpose of the Divine Sect in Huzhou has been achieved, and you have all made great contributions, and this sect leader has written it down for you." ”
"Sect Leader. The three of them were all happy, and Chen Baihu asked, "Sect Master, Xiaolong's side, will we continue to help him in the future?"
"Hold your ground for the time being, and wait for the wind to pass. The Thunder Dragon needs to further accumulate strength, and the Divine Cult will also send you to a higher position!"
The faces of the three of them were overjoyed: "Thank you for the great grace of the sect leader!"
"This sect leader has already determined the position of a branch of the Silent Annihilation Hall, after a while, Xiao Chen, you will dedicate this news, with this credit, the Divine Sect will give you another sum of money to operate, which is enough for you to be promoted to a thousand households in a remote state and county. ”
Chen Baihu knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for cultivating." ”
There was some irrepressible jealousy in the eyes of Yan Feiliu and Liu Baihu, especially Yan Feiliu, originally he was the first choice of the Divine Sect in the Dragon Guard, but after this incident, Chen Baihu stepped on his head and stepped on him.
The Sect Master obviously knew their thoughts, and said, "As long as you are faithful and dutiful, and do your best to assist the Sect Master to carry forward the Divine Sect, the Sect Master will give you whatever you want!"
His voice faded away: "The rise of the Divine Cult is just around the corner. I've been dormant for the time being, so don't contact the sect leader if there's nothing to do. ”
"We will obey. The three of them bowed together.
Waiting for that strong will to leave, Liu Baihu smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Brother Chen." ”
Yan Feiliu also lowered his head and said against his will: "Congratulations to Brother Chen in advance." ”
Chen Baihu smiled, and was about to say a few polite words, when he suddenly sensed something, the faces of the three of them changed slightly, and they each entered their own door and left quickly.
Chen Baihu's residence, the captain was already about to walk outside the door. He had just returned to his bed when there was a knock on the door: "My lord, Lord Qianhu, please go back to the yamen." ”
