Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 890 It Backfired 1.0

Hearing Song Qiyun's words, Bai Meng sneered. Since he took over as the commander of the imperial army, there are indeed many people who want to make trouble under his nose. In the first two or three years, one or two hundred people can always be caught , In the past two years, there have indeed been fewer. It would be good to catch ten or twenty, but the fate of these people is without exception very tragic.

Seeing the sneer on Bai Meng's face, Xiang Liu shivered unconsciously. He looked at Song Qiyun, then at Bai Meng, and then at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Song Yaojia who were standing behind silently watching, silently thinking in his heart He sighed, the young people nowadays are too scary, Bao Gui's tricks and thoughts are nothing in the eyes of these young people, and failure is certain.

Although he is not very sure about the identities of these young people, he knows that these adults must have the final say in Xijing City, and they still have a lot of weight. The degree of trembling.Bao Gui was also unlucky, he was targeted by these big shots as soon as he entered Beijing, and he deserved a crushing defeat.

"What kind of destruction are you planning to do in Xijing City?" Bai Meng raised an eyebrow at Xiang Liuyi, "Speak carefully, let's talk after you think about it!"

"It's not that villains don't want to talk about it, it's that villains really don't know." Xiang Liu looked in Bao Gui's direction, "The shopkeeper Bao has a very strict mouth, and villains can't find out what he doesn't want to say."

"That's right, that's right." Several other bound followers echoed, "He came to Beijing this time, and he only said he wanted to cause sabotage, but he didn't tell us how to do it, we all asked all the way, he Always off topic, not willing to reveal a little bit."

"To tell you the truth, even our few operations in Liuzhou Mansion were only found out on the night of the operation. He would temporarily call us to his house and assign corresponding tasks. We will go separately when it gets dark. Do. After the operation is over, go back to his house. We will not be allowed to leave his house in batches until dawn and there are people on the street. During this period, we are not allowed to leave without permission, otherwise, he will be severely punished. lesson." Xiang Liu sighed softly, pointed at the little man kneeling on the far right with his chin, "Once, he suddenly had a stomachache, and he only had half a stick of incense to leave shopkeeper Bao's sight. Shopkeeper Bao punished him to kneel in the yard for half the night, and he was not allowed to participate in the action. Because he was not feeling well, and the cold wind blew most of the night, he fell completely ill when he returned home the next day. Ten or so days is good."

The little man who was pointed out nodded towards Song Qiyun, proving that Xiang Liu's words were true.

"Wouldn't you be unhappy if he tormented you so much?"

"There is nothing we can do if we are not happy. He is the altar master, and he has the final say. Even if he kills us, we have nothing to do but obey. However, he said that he has his reasons for doing so, and it is for everyone's benefit."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"He said that if he told us in advance, if the plan changed, he was afraid that we would not receive the news in time, and secondly, he was afraid that people who shouldn't be mixed in among us would cause unnecessary trouble."

"It also makes sense." Song Qiyun nodded, "He is a person with a lot of thoughts and suspicions." He looked at Xiang Liu, "Since you, you don't know what he is doing in Xijing, this king will not make things difficult for you. Tell me about the robbery case in Liuzhou Mansion, you always know about this, right?"

"Yes." Xiang Liu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "This operation was not planned by Shopkeeper Bao, but by the above...that is, the errands assigned by the mage, and were assigned to thirteen state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River. The altar master is responsible for the execution, and shopkeeper Bao is the altar master of the Liuzhou sub-altar."

"So, he is responsible for all the actions of Liuzhou Mansion."

"Well, the villains must obey him, do as he says, and do well the errands ordered by the mage."

"When did this operation start to be planned? Tianxingjiao has been silent for so many years, and you have always been in contact?"

"There is no contact. It is because of this operation that they have been in contact more frequently. The villain and the shopkeeper Bao know each other, because the two have a friendship. It's just that there are not many contacts in these years, that is, we meet once during the Chinese New Year. Sometimes I missed it when I was busy." Xiang Liu looked at the other people, "These guys, the villain only met during this operation."

"That's right, it's also the first time we've seen Brother Xiang."

"The first meeting should have been more than half a year... more than seven months ago, everyone received a note from shopkeeper Bao at the same time, asking us to meet at Qili Manor. The Qili Manor is outside Liuzhou Prefecture, about seven miles away from Liuzhou Mansion, so it is called Qili Manor." Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of Song Qiyun and Bai Meng, Xiang Liu sighed helplessly and continued, "Although Qili Manor is called a manor, it is actually a private garden strictly speaking. It’s famous.” He paused for a moment, “The original owner of this manor was a big food businessman, he didn’t live in Liuzhou Mansion very often, and entrusted the villain’s father to take care of it.”

"Entrust your father?"

"Yes, the villain's father was also in business in the early years, and had some contacts with this big food merchant. Later, because of an accident, he injured his leg and got old, so he stopped running around outside. The big food merchant is also because of this Afraid that the villain's father would work too hard, he found such an errand for him. Later, the Dashi merchant was shipwrecked, and his family and his buddies were buried in the sea, and this manor became a land without an owner."

"Without the master, taking care of it becomes your own?" Song Qiyun raised his eyebrows, "Is this your stronghold?"

"Yes, when Tianxingjiao was at its peak, the believers in Liuzhou Mansion, the more core ones, often gathered here, and it was also very lively. Later, because Tianxingjiao was wiped out, and there were rumors that the mage was subjugated , the number of believers who came here gradually decreased. After all, human instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It was completely reduced to ruins.”

"Big fire?" Song Qiyun and Bai Meng glanced at each other, "No one investigated the cause? Did you set the fire yourself?"

"...It was us, because we didn't want the government to track down the Qili Manor, and to cover up the traces here, that's why this fire happened. Not only was there a big fire, but also deliberately spread the news of the haunted, so that no one dared to approach this place .”

"Wouldn't it be noticeable if you met in the ruins?"

"This lord has more than everything. This fire only burned things on the ground, and the secrets of Qili Manor are actually underground. Many confidential files about Tianxingjiao are hidden underground, and have not been affected in any way. .”

"Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit." Song Qiyun nodded, raised his chin towards Xiang Liu, "Continue."

"I don't know if it's a secret arrangement. It's doomed to fail this time, and it's bound to backfire. The villain's first meeting in Qili Manor was not smooth."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"I met the police from the state government office. They rarely go there to patrol, but that night, the villains met several."
