Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 325 What is the relationship between Taotie and Nufu Cult

Xu Zhiqiong returned to the Zhonglang Courtyard, instead of going to the Main Courtyard, he went directly to the East Courtyard, and released a few soldiers from the horns.

They didn't know that they were dead, they thought Xu Zhiqiong put them in a sack and kidnapped them.

A sergeant named Deng San, who had been in the army for more than ten years and believed that he had some knowledge, first discussed the price with Xu Zhiqiong: "I said, brother, you have convinced us, and we have also admitted that you have persuaded us. Bring us What do you mean by coming here?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled without saying a word.

Deng San nodded and said: "Okay, this aura seems to be a serious expert, but I have something to say, you should listen carefully.
If you want to kidnap a ticket, find an ordinary person to start with. We are not ordinary people. We eat the royal rations. If you really provoke us, you will have a hard time in the future. Even if you can't catch you in the future, don't even think about your family..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Decai kicked Deng San in the face, grabbed his hair, and beat him violently. Deng San cried for his father and mother, and his tone changed immediately.Crying towards Xu Zhiqiong: "Good man, raise your hand, tell me how much money you want, I am weak in body, I really can't bear the beating."

Chang Decai stepped on Deng San's head: "If you can't bear the beating, don't talk too much, and ask you what to say!"

Xu Zhiqiong asked a few questions one by one, and then let Chang Decai beat them up one by one, basically asking some clues.

These soldiers did not come from Yuling City, nor did they come from the same camp. They came from various places in Huazhou, and they didn't know each other before.

They were all summoned by Liu Jiangpu to be on duty in the deep mountains. Because the work was hard, each person had an extra [-] Wen a day.

One hundred Wen is equivalent to the daily expenses of a medium-sized family in Daxuan. One hundred Wen a day is three taels of silver a month. For them, this job is a real good job.

There is only one veteran like Deng San who has been in the army for more than ten years.

They have two common characteristics, one is not married, and the other is that there are many brothers in the family.

If such a person dies in an accident, things will be easier to calm down.

Xu Zhiqiong could see that Liu Jiangpu chose this group of people, but he didn't intend to let them go back alive.

Because the length of the errands varies, the value of these people is also very different. A few people went to the deep mountains and worked as errands for three or five days before being eaten by the gluttonous body. Such people have very little information, basically It is of little value.

Deng San, Zhang You, and Zhao Shuigen have all been on duty for more than two months, and they know more.

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Liu Jiangpu asked you to come to the mountain to guard, but didn't tell you what it is guarding?"

Deng Sandao: "We only met Liu Tongzhi once. Liu Tongzhi asked us to guard a small barren mountain. He didn't say anything special about this mountain. He just told us to stay away from this mountain.
When I first came here, I didn't know how powerful this mountain is. I wanted to join in the fun when I saw them running up the mountain to play. Fortunately, I was lucky. Before I could go up the mountain, I saw those people being engulfed by a big boa constrictor. Gone, since then, I have been far away from that mountain. "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I've seen the mountains eating people, why don't you run away?"

"I wanted to run, but I didn't have the guts. A few people who worked with me ran away. They were caught and thrown on the mountain that night. They disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looking at the situation, I dare not run."

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "Who brought them back?"

Deng San said: "Nufu teaches people."

"The Nufu Cult!" Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback, "The people of the Nufu Cult also know about this barren mountain?"

Deng San nodded and said: "I know, not only know, they serve the food and drink on this mountain, we just watch from a distance, there is no need to do anything else."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "Then why do you still force passers-by into the barren hills?"

Deng San lowered his head and said, "Isn't this following orders?"

"On whose order? Liu Jiangpu's order? Didn't you say that you don't have to do anything other than watch from a distance?"

Deng San stammered: "This, this, all, then what..."

Xu Zhiqiong glanced at Chang Decai, and Chang Decai held Deng San down and beat him up again!
Deng San covered his face and shouted: "Grandpa, to be honest, we sometimes just have fun."

"What's the fun?"

"In this mountain, there is usually nothing else to do. We also find it very interesting to see those people being eaten by that mountain..."

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked Deng San in the face, only to see that he confessed happily. Xu Zhiqiong originally wanted the judge to reduce his sentence by two years, so he punished him for his behavior. He is twice as cheap.

Zhao Shuigen, who was kneeling beside him, said: "I've never done this kind of thing before, so I'll be in charge of watching those workers and not letting them run away. This is all done according to the orders of the Nufu Sect."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "Who recruited those workers?"

Zhao Shuigen said: "It was recruited by Nufu Sect."

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "The Nufu Sect also listens to Liu Tongzhi's command?"

Zhao Shuigen shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."

Chang Decai sneered; "If you don't know, you're asking for a beating!"

He held Zhao Shuigen down and beat him again, and Zhang You, who was kneeling next to him, hurriedly shouted: "I know about this, the nufu teacher doesn't listen to Liu Tongzhi,
Once, people from Nufu Sect stopped a group of businessmen in Yuling City and fed them to the barren mountain. The commotion became louder, and Liu Tongzhi became angry, and came to the mountain to quarrel with the people from Nufu Sect.
At that time, I remembered that the leader of the Nufu Sect didn't give any face, and even taunted Liu Tongzhi a few words. In Huazhou, who would dare to disrespect Liu Tongzhi?That is, they dare! "

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Then how to deal with this matter afterwards?"

"Liu Tongzhi takes care of it himself, and the Nufu Cult only cares about feeding the barren hills, not cleaning up the stalls."

Listening to the words of these three people, Xu Zhiqiong realized one thing, Liu Jiangpu's power in the matter of Taotie's outer body was not as great as imagined.

As Zhang You said, he is only responsible for two things, one is to watch the gate, and the other is to close the stalls. The one who really takes care of Taotie's outer body is the Nufu Cult.

Emperor Zhaoxing stood behind Liu Jiangpu, and who stood behind the Nufu Sect?
Does Nufu Cult obey the emperor?Could it be that Emperor Zhaoxing was reduced to the point where he was under the Nufu Cult?
This is nothing unusual, there is no limit to what Emperor Zhaoxing can do in order to live forever.

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Where is there Nufu Cult in Huazhou?"

Everyone responded enthusiastically to this question:
"Our village has it!"

"We have plenty in our county!"

"Our neighbor has a nufu teacher. I heard that my son was beaten to death. Some neighbors couldn't see it. They went to the yamen to report to the officials. It was useless. Our county magistrate was also taught by a nufu. ..."

After everyone chattered, Xu Zhiqiong discovered that the Nufu Cult's influence in Huazhou was far greater than that in the capital.

Alright, Xu Zhiqiong likes Nu Fu's teaching the most.

He wanted to light a fire, but he was worried that he couldn't find a fire starter.

With the power of imagery, he took all the criminals into the crime karma, and handed over the crime karma to Chang Decai for safekeeping.

Chang Decai accepted the crime, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt a warmth in his sleeve, and quickly took out a candle.

This is the twin candle Liang Yuyao gave him. When the candle is lit, it proves that Liang Xianchun is going to do something.

Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was about to go out, Chang De sniffled and said, "Master, what does it smell like on you? How sour!"

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to say it was the smell of vomit, but he was afraid of being laughed at by Chang Decai, so he made up a sentence instead: "I haven't washed my clothes these days, maybe it smells sour from sweat."

Chang Decai said: "Master, I'll boil some hot water for you to take a bath. What does your body smell like?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "It's enough to prepare clean clothes for me, and I'll take you to the mortal world to bathe in the hot spring!"

……

In Quequan Township, Jiang Feili took Tsing Yi Pavilion to practice martial arts for a day.

Xu Zhiqiong left them in Quequan Township, and wanted them to live a good life for a few days, but Jiang Feili didn't slack off at all, and took the Tsingyis to practice every day.

When it was dusk and the drill was over, Jiang Feili took all the Tsing Yi to bathe in the spring together. When it was time for his subordinates to enjoy the blessings, Jiang Shaoshi was not ambiguous.

After washing away their greasy sweat, the girls frolicked in the soup spring, splashing water, wrestling, and comparing their consciences.

"Yuchilan, we can't compare to you, you use a ruler, let's compare with Jiang Shaoshi!"

Jiang Feili said angrily: "It's against you, why not? Let's see if I don't take care of you bastards tomorrow!"

Just when he was enjoying himself, he suddenly saw Su Xiujuan rushing in in a hurry: "Young Shi, it's not good, the general is here!"

Liang Xianchun is here.

Jiang Feili said calmly: "What are you afraid of? It's Captain Xu's order to keep us here. You go back to the camp to rest, and I'll meet the general."

The words were calm, but Jiang Feili was also very nervous. Xu Zhiqiong hadn't seen anyone for several days. If Liang Xianchun asked, how would he explain?

Putting on her clothes, Jiang Feili came to the barracks, but seeing Liang Xianchun sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, she was furious.

"Jiang Feili, where did Captain Xu go?"

Jiang Feili said: "Lieutenant Xu went out to find out the news, let us stay here temporarily."

"Stay? Just like this? Where are the people in Tsing Yi Pavilion?"

"During the day, they practice hard, and they go to wash their clothes and bodies. Isn't this against military regulations?"

"Military regulations? Let me tell you what military regulations are!" Liang Xianchun stood up and shouted, "I am General Suppression, and the rules I set are military regulations. When I come to your camp, I can't see your captains or sergeants. Already violated military rules,

Find Xu Zhiqiong for me now, if I don't see him tonight, none of you will be able to get rid of the crime, and you will all stand in front of the camp and wait for me to be whipped!I have to kill two of them tonight, so that you can know what the rules of the barracks are! "

Jiang Feili still wanted to argue, but she saw Liang Yuyao frequently winking behind Liang Xianchun.

The situation tonight is very serious, don't run into Liang Xianchun again.

Jiang Feili turned her head to Yu Chilan and said, "Hurry up and find Captain Xu!"

Yu Chilan was stunned, Xu Zhiqiong hadn't been seen for a few days, where would you tell her to look for her?

She couldn't understand Jiang Feili's code word, Jiang Feili meant to let her go out to hide first with the envoy in Tsing Yi, fearing that someone would die tonight.

"What are you waiting for, waiting for the general to beat you with a stick?" Jiang Feili shouted at Yu Chilan, "Hurry up and find Captain Xu!"

Yu Chilan hurriedly left the tent of the Chinese army, a drop of sweat appeared on Liang Yuyao's forehead.

She knew that Xu Zhiqiong would definitely come back after receiving her news, but the situation here was out of control.

Liang Xianchun waited for a moment and said, "When will Xu Zhiqiong come?"

Jiang Feili said: "I have already sent someone to look for it, and they will come when they find it."

"What a sharp mouth!" Liang Xianchun slapped the table, "Left and right, first drag this woman out and beat her with a hundred sticks!"

Jiang Feili didn't resist. With her fifth-rank cultivation, she could carry a hundred sticks, but her prestige in Tsing Yi Pavilion was completely lost in the future.

The two Canglong Guards stepped forward and were about to make a move, when Yu Chilan hurried in: "Captain Xu is back!"

Jiang Feili was taken aback, Liang Xianchun shouted, "Where are the others?"

Yu Chilan blushed and said, "In Tangquan."

Liang Xianchun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, someone, get him out for me!"

"Don't pull me, I'm coming down!" Xu Zhiqiong walked into the Chinese military tent wearing a large bathrobe.

Jiang Feili took a breath, and Yu Chilan's cheeks turned red instantly.

Liang Yuyao closed her eyes: It's over, why is this fellow so careless!
Liang Xianchun shouted: "Xu Zhiqiong, you come to see me in this suit?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "The general is in a hurry, and I can't help it. If the general can tolerate it for a while, I'll go and change my clothes. If the general can't tolerate it, I will wear this suit to discuss matters with the general.

If the general thinks this is inappropriate, the water in Tangquan is just right, and he will soak it with his subordinates. "
