When I arrived in Ningbo, it was already evening. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn order to avoid being discovered by the officers and soldiers, several people waited outside the city until dark, and then climbed over the city wall and entered the city.

At this time, although Ningbo Mansion was not as good as Yangzhou and Hangzhou, it was still prosperous. The area around Moon Lake is brightly lit even at night, and there are abundant night markets. Unlike other places, in addition to the Han Chinese, there are also many Koreans, Japanese, and Westerners in Ningbo, who are obviously here to do business. However, most of the Japanese now have to pretend to be Koreans, or simply pretend to be deaf and dumb, because the common people have little affection for the Japanese because of the fight against the Japanese invaders.

After a few people had dinner, they found an inn. Everyone else stayed, but Qin Shuhuai called Hua Shen and went out again.

"Brother Qin, where are you going in the middle of the night? Even if you want to handle a case, then you have to let me rest and rest, right? Hua Shen complained all the way.

Qin Shuhuai smiled but did not answer.

"Hey, Brother Qin, look, isn't that person you?"

Qin Shuhuai stopped and looked, and sure enough, he saw his portrait on a wall. Not to mention, the artist's skills are good, and he actually drew seven or eight points similar.

I saw that the words "Jiangyang thief" were written on the top, and the word "wanted" was written on the top.

Qin Shuhuai didn't expect that he was also on the wanted list, so he looked at it with interest and said with a smile, "They said that I killed people and kidnapped officials of the imperial court, but I committed such a big case, and the bounty was only given one hundred taels, which is really a big deal." ”

"Haha, it turns out that Brother Qin is worth this. ”

"Well, there are a few more. Qin Shuhuai saw that there were still a few wanted notices posted next to him, so he walked over and took a closer look, and then laughed.

"Lao Hua, look, Lao Zhao's price is also one hundred taels, and you are the lowest among the three of us, only worth 30 taels!"

Hua Shen coughed lightly in embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic, "Brother Qin, where are we going?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled mysteriously, "Go find a good friend." ”

"Do you have any friends here?"

"Nonsense, there is. ”

The two of them continued on their way, and soon came to a shop selling cloth. Qin Shuhuai looked up, and saw that "Ruilin Silk Village" was written on it, so he said, "That's right, it should be here." ”

It was late at night and the shop was closed. However, Qin Shuhuai was not polite, and knocked on the door with a bang.

"Is there anyone in there?" Hua Shen skeptical.

Qin Shuhuai said, "There may be no one in other stores, but there must be people in this store." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice shouting from inside.

"Who, in the middle of the night?"

Qin Shuhuai said unhurriedly, "Brothers and sisters, the same mother and fellow villagers, and relatives of the boss's family are here." ”

There was a sudden silence inside, and it took a few seconds before he said, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away." ”

Not long after, a piece of the door panel of the shop was removed, and an old man in his sixties stuck out his head and asked in a low voice, "May I ask the two of you, where are your relatives?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Vacuum hometown, no mother, where relatives are relatives, where brothers are brothers." ”

The man's face changed suddenly, he stepped forward to hold Qin Shuhuai's hands, and said, "It turned out to be a brother in the sect, fortunately, I will be lucky!"

Hua Shen watched it for a long time, and now he finally understood, it turned out that the two of them were making a secret signal to each other. Moreover, he has traveled to the rivers and lakes for many years and has a wide range of knowledge, as soon as he heard the words "vacuum hometown, no mother", he immediately knew that Qin Shuhuai was a member of the White Lotus Sect.

However, I was still very curious in my heart: when did Brother Qin have a relationship with the White Lotus Sect, and what did he do when he got into the White Lotus Sect?

Qin Shuhuai said to the man, "You are the altar master of the Ningbo Mansion branch altar that I taught You Xinzhi, right?"

The old man nodded and said, "Exactly." I wonder where you two are brothers?"

Qin Shuhuai took out the lotus order and handed it to You Xinzhi. The moment You Xin passed the Lotus Order directly, his face suddenly changed greatly, and his eyes widened wider than the copper bell.

He looked at the token carefully, and then looked at Qin Shuhuai from beginning to end.

Just yesterday, the people from the Shaoxing branch came to give an order, saying that the sect master had just been selected a few days ago, and it was a sixteen-year-old boy, who was the legendary leader of the Jianghe Gang, Qin Shuhuai. He had naturally heard of Qin Shuhuai's name, and after learning that he was the "Purple Dao Star Monarch", the leader of this sect, You Xinzhi had been thinking about when to go north to pay homage to this world-shattering big man, but he didn't expect him to come by himself!

It's really a childless mother's manifestation, what do you want!

Thinking of this, You Xin knelt down straight, and then kowtowed respectfully.

"The subordinate White Lotus Sect Ningbo Branch Altar Master You Xin went straight to see the sect leader! The sect leader came, and the subordinates couldn't welcome him from afar, so he asked the sect leader for forgiveness. ”

Hua Shen was stunned when he saw it! The sect leader of the White Lotus Sect? Brother Qin turned out to be the sect leader of the White Lotus Sect?

Isn't the leader of the White Lotus Sect a woman, what is the name of the old mother, how did she suddenly become a man? What happened in the middle?

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly at You Xin and said, "Lord Youtan, get up." This seat is a private visit to Weifu this time, so there is no need for much courtesy. ”

After You Xin straightened up, he hurriedly said, "Sect Master, it's inconvenient to talk here, so it's better to go upstairs and talk about it." ”

The cloth shop has two floors, the lower one is open, and the upper floor is inhabited. You Xinzhi as the shopkeeper of Ruilin Silk Village, the original industry is bigger than this, the house alone covers an area of more than 100 acres, and more than 300 people are employed in the silk village in its heyday, and it is a well-known wealthy businessman. However, since joining the White Lotus Sect, he has donated most of his family property to help the suffering members of the Sect, and only this small shop and the "small house" of one or two hundred square meters upstairs are left. He has only been in the church for three years, but because of his kindness, the church made an exception to propose him to the position of the master of the Ningbo Branch.

The reason why Qin Shuhuai was able to find him was naturally according to the address on the roster.

The three of them went upstairs and came to a study. After taking a few sips of tea and greeting a few times at the same time, Qin Shuhuai immediately got to the point.

"Master Youtan, I came to Ningbo Mansion this time mainly to find someone. I hope you can inform all my brothers and sisters who teach Ningbo Mansion to help find it. ”

You Xinzhi immediately said, "My subordinates must obey the order of the sect leader! I don't know what the name of the person the sect leader is looking for?

Qin Shuhuai said, "This person's name is Zhao Xinian, about twenty years old. ”

You Xinzhi immediately said, "The sect leader said Zhao Xinian, but the one who went to foreign business?"

Qin Shuhuai said happily, "Exactly, do you know him?"

You Xin nodded straight and said, "He has a housekeeper named Yunfu, who joined my teaching three years ago, and then we wanted Yunfu to develop Zhao Xinian's teaching, but he refused without thinking about it." But the strange thing is that just seven or eight days ago, he suddenly told Yun Fu that he wanted to join my sect and let Yun Fu spread the word. Originally, we all agreed, but the next day the others disappeared!"

Qin Shuhuai heard him say this and said, "In this way, he knew seven or eight days ago that someone else was going to kill him. That is, a day or two before the tragedy. ”

Hua Shen added, "If that's the case, he would either have been killed now, or he would be hiding in Ningbo Mansion!"
