Chapter 122 Ming Chongyan: I hate evil as much as I hate Li Yuanfang: My martial arts are mediocre

"Why does Li Shanxin come to watch at this time?"

Ming Chongyan looked at the sky outside which was still dark, and stared at it with his pupils, unfathomable.

Li Yan cupped his hands and said: "In the main hall of Zhou Guogong's mansion, Daoist Ming deliberately gave way, and he hasn't thanked him yet."

Ming Chongyan saluted with his left hand: "Li Shanxin is a man of great talents, and his poor life is just a waste of time, so he dare not be called modest."

Li Yan looked at the plum-blossom inner guard who, according to Kumara, was hiding vicious tricks behind his back, and took out a brocade box: "I really have something to entrust here, please see it for me, Master Ming." Take a look, is this elixir tampered with?"

Ming Chongyan took it, a little puzzled: "Chang'an has many views, and there are many Taoisms. Why did Li Shanxin come here to seek poverty?"

Li Yandao: "His Royal Highness once said that Daoist Ming has refined a kind of Wuyun Pill, which can soothe the nerves and nourish the body. It is very effective, so I came here to ask for advice. It is really urgent, so please forgive me for interrupting at this time!"

"I see."

Suddenly, Ming Chongyan took the box, pinched the pill with two slender fingers, looked at it carefully, then put it on his nose and sniffed it gently, his expression changed, and he said slowly: "This is Yundan, It has a lot to do with Pindao's Five Cloud Pill, and I hope Li Shanxin can tell you where this pill came from?"

"Ming Daoist is a literary official of the Ji Palace and an official of the imperial court, so I won't hide it from you..."

Li Yan raised his brows angrily: "Many scholars of Xinke took this pill and couldn't afford to be poisoned, and some of them died. The impact was extremely bad. The sage was furious. I'm currently investigating the origin of this pill."

"Supreme Heavenly Venerable!"

Ming Chongyan pretended to be shocked, but he already knew it.

The inner guard was abolished more than ten years ago, but the Plum Blossom inner guard has not been interrupted. It has been collecting intelligence and has eyes and ears all over the government and the public.

As soon as something happened at the Academy of Imperial City Gongyuan, the inner guard of Meihua received the news.

However, they were internal and external, and Li Zhi did not let them intervene in the matter of interrogating Tibetan spies.

This matter is also related to Jia Sibo, and it is also not under the management of Meihua's internal guards. Ming Chongyan dare not go beyond.

But at this time Li Yan came to the door, and Ming Chongyan asked: "This action has harmed people's lives and ruined my Taoist reputation. It is intolerable. Does Li Shanxin have a clue?"

Li Yan nodded: "I cultivate Neijia Danyuan, and I am naturally close to Taoism. I don't want to see this happen, but this case is so complicated that I can't do anything about it!"

After all, he let out a long sigh.

Ming Chongyan's eyes flickered slightly, feeling quite pleased.

Deep in his heart, he was very upset when he saw the young man in front of him.

Think about it at the other party's age, and I was still studying hard with my teacher, and then I went around trying to cure the governor's daughter, and then I wasted a lot of publicity, so I was able to enter the high-level attention and become a saint.

However, due to the wrong way, he was assigned to the inner guard of the plum blossom. He has no long-term future to speak of, so he can only do his best to serve the saint.

Looking at the person in front of him, he has a profound background, outstanding achievements, a scarlet robe, and a bright future, how can he not be envied?
You deserve it for not being able to solve the case!
However, after Li Yan sighed, he suddenly said: "There is one more thing I want to ask. According to Master Ming's knowledge, which of the Taoist temples in Chang'an has the closest relationship with the Dou family?"

Ming Chongyan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Ms. Dou? Why did Li Shanxin ask about this?"

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't say for now, Taoist Master Ming is a member of Taoism, can you find out for me a little bit, which Taoist temple is familiar with Dou's family? It's hard for outsiders to know..."

Ming Chongyan bowed again with one hand: "The Supreme Heavenly Venerable, the poor Daoist devotes himself to practicing, and ignores ordinary things. If the sages don't value him, he would have already gone to the famous mountains to visit Taoism!"

Li Yan looked at the poor environment in the Taoist temple, and nodded again and again: "Ming Daoist is a literary man in the palace, but he always lives in the Taoist temple, and he is indifferent to fame and wealth, which is really admirable!"

What Ming Chongyan wants to create is this kind of character design, with a sense of immortality, it seems that he is about to ride the wind and go away.

However, Li Yan immediately said: "I was the one who was abrupt, so leave!"

Ming Chongyan was startled, and immediately changed his look. He reached out with one hand and tried to persuade him to stay: "Believers, please stay!"

Li Yan thought to himself that luckily he wasn't a fellow Taoist, but he also stopped and said apologetically, "I'm eager to solve the case, so I'm being rude on this trip."

Ming Chongyan said: "In Zhou Guogong's mansion, the poor Taoist and the good believer hit it off at first sight. Now that I have heard such evil things this time, how can I stand by and watch?"

Li Yanqi said: "But the Taoist priest is not a wandering cloud and a wild crane, ignoring ordinary customs..."

Ming Chongyan said solemnly: "Huandan Jinye is the most important one. If you take it and you will not be immortal, there will be no immortals in ancient times. Now Yundan is poisonous. If you want to destroy the name of my way, the poor way will no longer be a wild crane. It is even more important to understand the mundane!"

Li Yan was moved: "The Taoist priest is really jealous of evil and has a warm heart. This case really involves what Taoism has learned. If the Taoist priest can help, I am willing to help! Besides, the Taoist priest has profound skills, unlike me who is entangled in daily affairs, and martial arts will inevitably be delayed. Ugh……"

After hearing this, Ming Chongyan looked at Li Yan carefully.

When he saw this Buddha statue beheaded with a knife, he thought that this person had a sign of epiphany at the time, and his martial arts would surpass his own. Now, it seems that his eyes are peaceful, and his martial arts are indeed delayed by the busy work, so there is nothing to fear .

Ming Chongyan was secretly pleased, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"

"The Taoist please!"

"Please!"

The two humbly, hated evil like Qiu Ming and Chongyan, and Li Yuanfang was mediocre in martial arts. They left Xuandu Temple side by side and headed for Dongshi.

……

"What are you going to do here?"

"Go to the Municipal Administration to go through the formalities, so we can enter the East Market. The market has not opened yet!"

Li Yan and Ming Chongyan came to the edge of the Dongshifang wall, and looked at the City Administration not far away under the bright sky.

This department is responsible for drumming three hundred times at noon every day, opening the market and opening the shops.

At seven quarters before sunset, the gong is struck three hundred times again, the customers go home and the shops close.

Patrol the square at night to ensure the curfew.

It's a bit like the market management committee of later generations.

And Li Yan brought Ming Chongyan here to go through the formalities, because the market has not yet opened, and idlers cannot enter.

There is no way, the market will not open in the morning, because the officials are working in the imperial city, the biggest source of customers cannot come, and the merchants need to stock up.

What's more, the pace of life in ancient society was relatively slow, and the business hours were too long, which was neither economical nor meaningful.

Ming Chongyan looked at Li Yan's step-by-step manner and followed the rules, rolled his eyes and said, "Is Li Shanxin going to investigate the Dou's Chamber of Commerce?"

Along the way, Li Yan also selectively revealed some news, then nodded and said: "Yes, I suspect that Poison Pill is related to Dou's Chamber of Commerce."

Ming Chongyan lowered his voice: "Then why don't we sneak in over the wall and investigate first?"

Li Yan was shocked: "Sneak in over the wall? I... I have never done such a thing!"

Ming Chongyan urged: "Li Shanxin's investigation this time is for the sake of Xinke scholars, to catch evil and eliminate evil. Why stick to these rules?"

Li Yan showed hesitation.

Ming Chongyan's tone was a little cold: "Li Shanxin will not understand this truth if he is in a hurry to follow the power. Could it be that he cherishes his life so much and is afraid of losing his official position?"

Li Yan was immediately displeased: "Master Ming, what are you talking about? We only act for the loyalty of the emperor and serve the country. How can we be timid and considerate of ourselves? But Dou's family is just a little suspicious, so we will sneak in rashly. It's innocent, so what should I do?"

Ming Chongyan said: "Li Shanxin's concerns are not unreasonable. Fortunately, what we have done is not a bad thing. After we go inside and investigate, if we misunderstand Mrs. Dou, we can leave quietly. It is a good deed to wash away his grievances in front of the saint!"

Li Yan thought for a moment, then nodded: "What the Taoist priest said is true, this is the truth, I figured it out!"

Ming Chongyan sneered in his heart, afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of you, a good boy?
He is the internal guard of the plum blossom. When the time comes, if he reveals his identity, who would dare to touch him?

But Li Yan is different. Doing bad things is really doing bad things. A dignified fifth-rank official broke into a shop. This scandal can be...

Then he heard Li Yan's sincere pleading voice: "Please ask the Taoist priest to find out for me!"

"Ok?"

Ming Chongyan was stunned: "The meaning of good faith, is the poor Taoist going in alone?"

Li Yan said as a matter of course: "I am an internal security envoy, a fifth-rank official, and if I was discovered on the spot, it would be hard to explain it. It's true that I can't completely follow the rules, and only the Taoist priest's martial arts are world-class. Only in this way can we take on this heavy responsibility, you and I each perform our own duties and work together in a division of labor, please!"

Seeing Li Yan cupping his hands and saluting at the end, Ming Chongyan was numb.

After making trouble for a long time, I became a pathfinder?
But he talked too much before, and Li Yan is indeed a fifth-rank official, and his martial arts are not as good as his own. No matter from which point of view, he really can't refuse.

"Forget it, after all, they did something bad together, and you have to bear a share of the responsibility!"

But Ming Chongyan thought about it again. Although Li Yan didn't act personally, he broke the rules after all. He finally lured this good boy to the abyss of evil, and saluted with one hand: "So you want what you want, and the poor way is gone." !"

He intends to show off, he straightened his body and stood up from the ground.

Taoist robes fluttered, long sleeves fluttered, and he leaped over the square wall in a chic way.

Like a great roc spreading its wings, it flew four meters in mid-air in an instant, plunged into the backyard of the chamber of commerce, and disappeared.

"not bad!"

Seeing Li Yan, there was a solemn look in the depths of his eyes.

For Ming Chongyan to have such a ghostly lightness kung fu, besides what he learned from Taoism, he must also have the masters of other schools. No wonder he was able to severely wound Kumara.

There is indeed something.

But after three points of solemnity, it is seven points of indifference.

With a flick of Li Yan's eyes, his eyes glowed with a warm and jade-like luster, and his internal energy was running at full strength, and his figure flashed.

The people standing outside the wall suddenly disappeared, and a figure swept in along the route Ming Chongyan had sneaked in at a lightning speed.

Ahead, Ming Chongyan proceeded cautiously according to the map investigated by Meihua's internal guards, checking left and right, without noticing the whole process.

Behind him, a figure appears and disappears from time to time, and he has a panoramic view of his traveling route, movement changes, and strength details throughout the whole process with an indifferent expression.

You explore the way ahead, and I learn from behind.

This is the division of labor and cooperation, each performing its own duties.
