Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 33 A Real God

The front yard of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has been idle for more than ten years, and most people have never entered it, so it is even more mysterious than the City Lord's Mansion and the General's Mansion in Tuncheng.

Now it has become the thief arresting office of Yele City. The family members of Xu Haoran, Huang Bowen and others have not only been able to move here from the low and cramped adobe houses before, but also received settlements ranging from [-] to [-] wen according to the population. money.

All are silver coins, not copper coins!
After such a long hard life, the female relatives were all overjoyed, and the children cheered for joy. After they settled down, they took the initiative to help clean up the dozen or so rooms in the second entrance.

The room on the right side of the courtyard is the most spacious. It used to be the living place of King Yele, with huge stone pillars, high vaults, and the floor is all paved with jade. Now it has become the internal meeting hall of the Thief Catching Agency.

During the day, the light could be collected through the patio, but a few oil lamps were not enough to see clearly at night, so Han Pingan asked Huang Dafu to light more than [-] candles.

All the desks, chairs and benches that had been moved to the Miphatai’s house to handle the case in the morning were brought back, and the desks were full of account books, letters, and statements recorded during the daytime cross-examination.

The relatively flat west wall is covered with notes with names written one after another.

Han Pingan stood on a bench, and according to Xu Haoran and others' dictation, he drew white lines with strokes made of lime blocks to connect the names.

After a while, a huge character relationship diagram appeared in front of him.

"The original intricate relationship has become so organized!" Xu Haoran was stunned, staring at the west wall in amazement.

Huang Bowen was also amazed by it, and murmured: "Turning thousands of clues into a single glance is really a stroke of genius, and Saburo is really a god-man!"

Han Pingan laughed and almost fell off the stool.

Yu Wangli had quick eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly supported him: "Sanlang, be careful."

Xu Haoran regained his composure, and subconsciously asked: "Sanlang, what's the matter, is there something uncomfortable?"

"fine."

Han Pingan put down the chalk made of lime blocks and looked at Huang Bowen with a smile: "Brother Huang has a bright future."

Huang Bowen was confused, and said blankly: "Sanlang is really good at joking, what kind of future can I have after I become a prisoner?"

Han Pingan brushed off the chalk dust in his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang is very good at complimenting people, the one who complimented others like 'truly a god and a man' last time, will soon be made governor of a state by the county magistrate. Although Brother Huang's starting point is not as high as that of the county magistrate, it is still within reach to become Sima of a state."

Huang Bowen was ridiculed so much that he couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Haoran asked even more curiously: "Who is that person who compliments others as 'truly a god and a man'?"

"You don't even know it."

Han Ping'an has never encountered such a funny thing, thinking about it, he laughed and said: "In a few years, I should have a table name. Two, how about 'Renjie' or 'Huaiying' at that time?" ? Han Ping'an, named Renjie, or named Huaiying!"

Xu Haoran couldn't keep up with his leaping thinking, so he could only laugh and said, "I've only read a few books and only know a few words, and I'm not a real scholar. You should ask Bowen, he is very knowledgeable and full of knowledge."

Just as Huang Bowen was about to speak, the fake Taoist priest who was sitting on the side admiring Pantuo's paintings raised his head: "Sanlang, you should ask the Taoist priest for the name and characters. The two words you just said are not bad, it's just that the words are not the same. Should the elders take it?"

"Must my father take it?"

"It's natural."

"Forget it, I'm only fifteen this year, and it's too early to get my name."

"Yes, yes, let's talk about business."

There are a lot of things to do tonight, and he will continue to be busy tomorrow morning. Xu Haoran didn't want to waste any more time, so he picked up a statement and handed it over: "Sanlang, take a look, is it shameless or insane?"

Han Pingan took the confession, went to read a few lines under the candle, was stunned, and said with an incredulous expression: "There is such a thing, and Mifatai is such a person. This is too shocking. He is really Death is not a pity!"

The false priest knew about this in the afternoon, but he was shocked and impacted even more than Han Ping'an.

Because this completely overturned his cognition, he still couldn't believe it until now, but he couldn't help but believe in the hard facts.

He felt that such a shameless thing had polluted the whole world, so he couldn't help bowing to the portrait of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties that had just been hung before dinner, speaking plausibly.

"Om Chi Hum Zha, the heaven and the earth are natural. The filthy energy is scattered, and the cave is mysterious. Huanglang Taixuan, the majestic god of the eight directions. The majestic god of the east, the Qingqi Yuanjun. General Yang Fang, the essence of wood virtue. Ninety thousand soldiers and horses, General Qinglong .The green flag is the name, and it surrounds the east. To kill the qi of the green plague, to kill the spirit of the rotten wood..."

Xu Haoran thought he was busy investigating the case, but you actually recited the mantra again.

Huang Bowen really wanted to interrupt, but he looked solemn and pious, so he could only silently pack up the confession.

Yu Wangli stood on the sidelines and sniggered, almost saying on his face that he was playing tricks again.

Han Ping'an knew that although the false Taoist priest was a half-way monk and self-taught, he really had "Taoism" and believed in the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty.

There are [-] volumes in the Taoist collection, but he only has the "Huang Ting Jing" and "Taishang Three Cave Mantra", which he recites every day and repeatedly.

Although he didn't know how to pronounce or understand many of the words, he was able to memorize them wholeheartedly.You can even apply what you have learned, and recite mantras on what occasions you encounter.

Han Pingan felt that his belief should be respected. After all, he was the only Taoist priest with a radius of nearly a thousand miles, and he was the future Anxi Daoist majesty!
What is being recited is the Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth, neither short nor long.

The false Taoist priest quickly finished the recitation, feeling that the whole world was clean, and bowed to the portrait of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, and then turned around and asked, "Where did you just say?"

Xu Haoran's train of thought was interrupted by him, and he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Huang Dafu knocked on the door and walked in, presented a folded letter to Han Ping'an, and then bowed out of the meeting hall.

"Sanlang, did Yichang Chen send someone to send it?"

"Ah."

Xu Haoran asked eagerly, "What did he say?"

Yichang Chen didn't show up today, but Yichang Chen was not idle, in fact he was busier than everyone present.

After reading the letter, Han Pingan said in a low voice, "Two bad news and two good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Huang Bowen thought for a while, got up and said, "Bad news."

"The first bad news. The high priest from Guishu found something wrong in the morning and went to Tuncheng and lived in the General's Mansion."

"We had expected this a long time ago, otherwise the General's Mansion would not have sent someone to protect that Shi Siqiang."

"The second bad news is that Baizai went straight to Mifatai's house after he came out of the urn. It can be seen that the dead Sogdian warrior did ask him to deliver me to Mifatai. A message that money will redeem me."

Han Ping'an paused, and then said: "Maybe he was just released after being locked up for a few days. He saw so many military officers standing in front of Mifatai's house, so he didn't dare to approach, so he turned around and went to the Temple of Fire."

Xu Haoran asked: "What happened next?"

"He saw the Zhu Zhu of the Fire Temple, Ashina Sai, the younger brother of Ashina Mountain, and went home after saying a few words. After Ashina Sai sent him away, he hurried to the Tuncheng also entered the General's Mansion, and has not returned until now. Of course, the city gate has been closed, and he can't come back even if he wants to."

"So that high priest also has a role..."

"It's not just the high priest, that high priest has already lived in the general's mansion!"

Huang Bowen didn't expect to check and check, but he found General An Da, and he was suddenly worried.

Yu Wangli, who had never had the chance or the right to speak, couldn't help but said: "I also went to join in the fun that day in Saiyan, and I heard from those Sogdians that Qudu High Priest was invited by General An from Guishu. When I arrived in Yele, I was taken to the General's Mansion, and I went to the Fire God Temple after staying in the General's Mansion for a few days."

Xu Haoran finally understood why "Han Sanfeng" said that investigating this case was very dangerous, he hesitated and asked, "What's the good news?"

Han Pingan walked to the west wall and pointed to the two names on it: "Facts have proved that today's knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is effective. These two people can't hold back. Just now they sent people to find Bai Zai and inquire about Mifatai's family. How did that samurai die, and what words did he leave behind before he died?"

"Will they kill Baizai to silence him?"

"No, but this matter is getting more and more strange. Mr. Chen said that this man seems to be planning to find someone to kill me."

"kill you?"

"Impossible. After you came back, you didn't show your face in public, and you didn't even get in touch with a few people. They couldn't possibly see the flaws. They knew that you might belong to them, so why did they kill you!"

"Sanlang, are they worried that your father will see a flaw when he comes back?"

"It's possible. After all, if the fake Han Pingan wants to become the real Han Pingan, my father must die. Now that my father is not dead, I have to die, otherwise their tricks will be exposed. But I feel something is wrong. I'm afraid it's not as simple as we thought."

He couldn't think of a reason for a while, Huang Bowen felt that he still had to think about how to deal with the situation in front of him, rubbed his chin and asked, "What if they really send assassins?"

Han Pingan pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "This matter is really troublesome. It is easy to catch one by one, but in this way, the previous play will be for nothing. It is tantamount to telling them that the fake Han Ping'an died long ago."

Xu Haoran nodded, smiled wryly and said, "You can't just sit here and let them kill you."

The false priest pondered: "What's the trouble? Since it's fake Han Ping'an, he must be worried that Han Shiyu will come back, and he will definitely not sit still."

"Walk?"

"36 strategies, the best strategy is to go!"

"This is a way. Anyway, it's not that I haven't run away from home. I just find an excuse to avoid it. I won't give them a chance to assassinate me, and I won't expose my identity as the real Han Pingan."

Xu Haoran asked in a low voice: "Sanlang, what excuse are you going to make, and where are you going?"

Han Pingan weighed it up and said with a smile: "I'm not going anywhere, just stay here, and let it out later that I'm missing again."

Xu Haoran looked at Han Ping'an, then at Huang Bowen and the false Taoist priest, and said, "How to release this rumor and to whom, and whether we should make some preparations before releasing the rumor. We have to think carefully. If we plan properly, we may be able to Let those who didn't jump out jump out."

Huang Bowen said by analogy: "And we can catch the assassins who come, and Saburo is gone. It is normal for us to arrange a few people to wait in the west courtyard."

"Don't worry about this matter, we have to think carefully. Sanlang, didn't you say that you have two good news, and there is one more."

"My father took General An to inspect several Jimi prefectures in the Yele tribe, and he couldn't come back within ten days and a half months. They set off from Baisha City at noon today. The general brought forty personal guards, My father brought forty Night's Watch with him."

Han Pingan smiled, raised the letter in his hand and added: "My father and General An were worried about the loss of Baisha City, so they asked General Li to go to Baisha City to sit in the city early tomorrow morning. Since it is busy farming season, farming is more important than anything else, my father General He'an also ordered brigade commander Qian Chonghou, fire chief Liu Sangen and other soldiers who rushed to Baisha City first to come back first."

This is not to inspect, this is clearly to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

As for changing defenses, it was for the convenience of the Thief Arrest Agency's investigation.

Xu Haoran was ecstatic, and couldn't help laughing: "Shiyu sees thousands of miles away, Han Shiyu is really a god!"

Han Pingan also didn't expect his father to be so powerful, and he didn't expect Xu Haoran to learn to compliment him. He laughed and said, "Xu Shaofu, it seems that you will be the governor sooner or later."
