Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 888 The surname Bao is not a good thing!

This strong man claimed to be Xiang Liu, and he participated in many things planned by Bao Gui. He was a very useful person and a confidant.

Song Qiyun stood in front of Xiang Liu, looked at him, and at the other people who were cowering, his eyes stopped for a while on the shocked Bao Gui.

Bao Gui didn't expect that the person he regarded as his best brother would sell himself so easily.But he can't do anything now, his face is covered with sweat in pain when he moves a little, his throat is completely hoarse, he can't speak a word, he can only watch helplessly as Xiang Liu throws away everything he knows like beans. pour out.

"Are you members of Tianxing Sect? How many people are there?"

"Yes, the villains are followers of Tianxingjiao's branch in Liuzhou. There are 71 people in the whole branch." Xiang Liu readily admitted, "Treasurer Bao is the person in charge of Liuzhou Mansion, and any tasks are handled by Bao. The shopkeeper came to release it, and we can only obey and execute it."

"Liuzhou sub-forum?" Song Qiyun shook the whip in his hand, and heard the sound of the whip in the air, feeling very comfortable, "Then are the followers of your sub-forum a recent addition, or are you members of the Tianxing sect?"

"Little people are believers in the first place, not just joined." The strong man looked nervously at the flicked whip, fearing that it would fall on him, he raised his head to look at Song Qiyun standing in front of him, and swallowed Swallowing, the speed of speech became faster than before, "The little people's family has been believers of Tianxing Sect for several generations, and it has not changed for so many years. Since the last time Tianxing Sect was wiped out, those of us who were Believers who have been caught by the government are forced to hide their whereabouts, change their names and surnames, and mix with ordinary people, waiting for the next comeback. Little people know that the confrontation and conflict between the mage and the government will not end easily, and it will definitely continue. It will explode."

"Wait a minute." Bai Meng stepped forward and walked to Song Qiyun's side, "As far as I know, Master Tianxing has been subjugated many years ago, how could he still fight against the government, and what is there to say? The comeback? Is there something else hidden in this?"

"The person who was caught back then and later subdued him was just a substitute for the sorcerer. The real sorcerer has already been safely transferred."

"substitute?"

"Yes." Xiang Liu nodded, glanced at Bao Gui, and sneered, "As far as I know, most of the believers don't know the whereabouts of the mage, and the mage they see is just a substitute. And there are no less than five such substitutes."

"Oh?" Song Qiyun slightly raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, and looked at him suspiciously, "This should be regarded as an internal secret of Tianxingjiao, right? How do you know such a secret?"

"Treasurer Bao said it." Looking at Bao Gui, Xiang Liu gave another creepy sneer, "This is the great achievement of shopkeeper Bao!"

"He suggested it?" Song Qiyun felt that Xiang Liu's reaction was wrong, "You..."

"My lord, Bao's surname is not a good guy. He looks like a dog on the surface, but he does some dirty things behind his back!" Xiang Liu took a deep breath, "I grew up with a villain. A little brother, because his stature was about the same as that of a mage, was sent by shopkeeper Bao to serve as a substitute for the mage. In fact, this is a good job. For this little brother, he has more than ten taels of silver a month It is good that parents and younger brothers don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Besides, although they are substitutes, they don’t have to stay in the temple every day. They also go home to visit their parents one or two days a month to comfort their families. Bitter. In addition to this point, the mage is also very good to them, can fill their stomachs, and specially invited a husband to teach them how to read, which is absolutely impossible at home."

"Isn't it very good?" Song Qiyun was puzzled, "Why do you say that Bao Gui is not a thing?"

"Stand-ins also have different divisions of labor. Some people attend the Dharma meeting instead of the mage, and some die instead of the mage. Originally, this brother who is a villain works harder and learns things very quickly. He was assigned to attend the dharma meeting for the mage. Something like that. But then..." As he spoke, Xiang Liu's eyes turned red, "Brother Xiaoren secretly told me while going home to visit his parents that shopkeeper Bao went to see the mage and told him The relationship between us says that if his life is used as a threat, the villain will definitely serve his life loyally."

"This logic is wrong." Song Qiyun shook his head, "If your brother has always been the mage's substitute, it will be easier to handle you."

"That's not the case." Xiang Liu smiled wryly, "The villain's brother is very favored by the mage, and the person surnamed Bao is worried that once the villain's brother gains a foothold, he will recommend the villain in front of the mage, and his status will be affected. Threatened. Therefore, he must get rid of this hidden danger in order to keep the power in his hands."

"So, your brother is Mage Tianxing... died?"

"...Yes." Xiang Liu nodded and looked at Song Qiyun, "He didn't die in the hands of the government, but before the government thoroughly investigated Tianxingjiao, some more radical believers had besieged the mage's carriage. The mage himself was in that carriage, I didn't expect..."

"When did you get the news?"

"I haven't received it. The villain knows this. On the way to Xijing a few days ago, the surname Bao drank too much and slipped his mouth." Xiang Liu took a deep breath, "I was laughing at the government. , saying that there are so many mage substitutes, the government doesn’t even know that the mage is safe now. Later, when it comes to those radical believers, the surname Bao scolded them for being stupid, saying that the attackers didn’t know whether they were the master.”

"He specifically told you that your brother died instead of Master Tianxing?"

"No, he didn't dare to say it." Xiang Liu shook his head, "The villain drank too much, went out to sober up, and when he came back, he heard the surname Bao tell them." Xiang Liu looked at the people around him, "It is said that the villain has been entrusting him to find his brother, but his brother has died long ago, and even the ashes are gone. And he said triumphantly that the villain wants to step on his head and climb up with the help of the ladder of the villain brother , he will completely destroy this ladder."

Song Qiyun looked at the other people kneeling on the ground, they all nodded hurriedly, proving that Xiang Liu was right.

"But you... haven't seen the mage himself, have you?"

"Of course not. Even if the little man likes the mage, it's impossible for the villain to be so unruly and introduce the villain to the mage." Xiang Liu smiled wryly, "What the little man thinks in his heart is that he can work in front of the mage for a long time. For some, life at home is easier, for others..." He shook his head lightly, "I have no other thoughts."

"What about you? Do you want to use your brother to climb up?"

"No, the villain has no family, and he doesn't plan to marry a wife and have children, and he doesn't want to compete with him."

"So, with or without the whip, you'll tell what you know and avenge your brother, won't you?"

Xiang Liu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Aren't you afraid of being criticized? Are you not afraid of being accused of public revenge?"

"There is no public revenge, none of them are good people, and they don't do any good deeds. Where did the public come from?" Xiang Liu looked at Bao Gui, "He brought us to Beijing this time. Instead."
