Chapter 94

Indeed, as Zhao Mi said, it was only a matter of Jiang Ru leaving the reward and punishment courtyard, and Captain Lu, who was in charge of guarding the reward and punishment courtyard, did not stop him.

"Are you testing Liang Tao?" Ling Xiao asked after Jiang Ru left.

"It's better to say that Liang Tao is trying to test me." Zhao Mi cupped his sleeves and looked at the sky: "I contradicted him in public in Xingluo County, and it is a great blessing that he didn't trouble me. Liang Tao wants Chongxuan Pavilion to get rid of it." As for the suspicion of participating in the assassination, it is enough for him to kill Qing Luoyi himself, there is no need to sell me a favor."

"In this way, it is he who wants something from you." Ling Xiao reminded: "If you want to take something, you must first give it. Liang Tao expected Qing Luoyi's plot to assassinate him, so he will make it happen."

Zhao Shu rubbed his eyebrows lightly: "If it is not necessary, I really don't want to have close contact with this Liang Guoshi. He has an unpredictable temperament, who knows what's on his mind?"

"It's just that there are still some doubts about this matter." Ling Xiao said: "Liang Tao uses you as a game, the premise is to have a full judgment on your cultivation base and mana, if you are not good enough, you will die in Jibao Pavilion directly. Subsequent deduction will not be possible.”

Zhao Mi narrowed his eyes and said, "Besides the restriction of Jibao Pavilion, someone helped me to break through the restriction."

"Liang Tao has placed people by your side, and has been secretly watching your actions." Ling Xiao said.

Zhao Mi laughed: "I probably know who it is, but at that time the Jinding Division had just been established, Liang Guoshi immediately arranged for people to come, obviously a long-term plan. The assassination of Jibao Pavilion was just an opportunity for him to intervene."

"What is there on your body that deserves his concern?" Lingxiao asked.

Zhao Shu covered his mouth and pondered: "I really couldn't think of it at once. In terms of cultivation base and mana, I'm not worth mentioning in front of him. Is it because I'm the teacher's student? Want to try to win over like Liang Shuo? Not too big."

"You used Jiang Ru's mouth to reveal to Liang Tao that your father died in the Chongxuan Hall, did you have other intentions?" Ling Xiao asked.

Zhao Mi replied: "That's right, I just want to take this opportunity to test Liang Tao's intentions. If he doesn't want me to die, then he should want me to do something. But I don't really want to agree, so I just show my background and use it to block Liang Tao. his mouth."

"But what if Liang Tao still values ​​you?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Then I really don't understand." Zhao Mi said: "If it were me, a junior who hated me, even if I didn't suppress him, I would have no reason to help. Even if I didn't mention the past hatred, we The Huaiying Pavilion doesn't get along with Liang Guoshi."

"Liang Tao's cultivation is quite unique." Ling Xiao said.

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Mi was puzzled.

Lingxiao asked: "Have you seen his fractal form and real body, apart from describing his appearance, have you ever noticed the difference?"

Zhao Mi recalled thinking carefully: "It seems to be a little different, but I can't tell. I feel that in terms of character, the fractal body of Chaozhong Gongqing is more, more..."

Zhao Mi couldn't understand for a long time, Ling Xiao then said: "It's even more sinister and cruel, with obvious intentions."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Mi nodded again and again: "As for the real body, which is very similar to Liang Shuo, it seems quite sparse."

"Accumulating yin and condensing dregs, weeding out true spirits." Lingxiao said, "This is also a way to ascend to immortality and become true."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Mi asked.

"Let's change it to something you can understand." Lingxiao explained: "Throwing ten catties of medicine into the pill furnace, can it be refined into ten catties of pills?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Mi immediately said, "The first thing that medicine puts into the furnace is to refine it to remove impurities... You mean, Master Liang's cultivation is like this alchemy?"

"Didn't you say that the Liang family of Yongjia is good at the study of yellow and white outer alchemy?" Lingxiao said: "If the real body is a golden alchemy that has gone through seven or nine turns, then the avatar of the national teacher in deep clothes and a crown is the one who was killed The refining impurities are the worldly contamination that Shengxiandeng really wants to abandon."

Zhao Mi said, "But Liang Guoshi did not abandon these medicinal residues."

"Liang Tao has not yet attained the immortal way." Ling Xiao said, "What's more, there is such a doppelgänger in front of the public, which attracts the attention of the world, but it is convenient for his real body to go out and do business."

"It's really convenient." Zhao Mi was a little envious: "It's a pity that my gold water shape method is deceiving at best, and it's not good for fighting. The clone of Liang Guoshi can handle Yang Liujun's level of masters at least. .”

"You still don't understand the key to this." Ling Xiao reminded: "This kind of fractal change is not the use of ordinary spells, but a deep connection with the foundation of cultivation. Being a national teacher represents a part of Liang Tao's life in the world. This way is the threshold for him to treat people and distinguish between inside and outside. There is a huge difference between seeing the clone and seeing the real body!"

Zhao Mi asked: "What does this mean? I have seen Liang Guoshi's real body. Could it be that he has recognized him?"

"Don't forget, in the face of the Nuo-faced swordsman holding the divine sword, Liang Tao also revealed his real body." Lingxiao said.

Zhao Mi shuddered: "I'm not going to be treated as an enemy by Liang Guoshi, right?"

"Anyway, you have to be careful, you are being targeted by Liang Tao." Ling Xiao said.

Zhao Mi scratched his head and said, "What the hell is this? It's fine that people from Jiuli Kingdom want to kill me. Is Master Liang so idle? Who am I to provoke?"

"The capital city on earth is destined to be a place of turmoil." Lingxiao said.

Zhao Mi asked, "Do you want me to stay away from Dongshengdu?"

Lingxiao: "This place can destroy people, but it can also make people successful. It depends on how you treat it."

Zhao Mi heard the words and said nothing, when Lu Xiaowei came with a food box and asked, "Deacon Zhao seems to have something to worry about?"

"I've been assassinated, can you not worry?" Zhao Mi said helplessly.

Lieutenant Lu brought food and wine to Zhao Mi, and comforted him: "Deacon Zhao is too worried, you single-handedly took down a group of monsters sent by Jiuli Kingdom, with this level of cultivation power, there are not many in the arrest department." .”

"Isn't it?" Zhao Mi said: "The arrest department is responsible for hunting down evil spirits, and the fellow monks who sit in it must be proficient in fighting techniques."

"That's not necessarily true." Xiaowei Lu sat across from Zhao Mi: "Does Deacon Zhao think that hunting down evil spirits is to see who can beat them better?"

"It seems not all."

"The arrest department, as the name suggests, focuses on arrests and arrests." Captain Lu said: "Evil spirits are causing trouble. First of all, we must find out where the evil spirits are, determine their number and power, and then take restraint to deal with them. In fact, most of the time, What the arrest department has to deal with is not some big demon king, but those heretics who practice sorcery, as well as goblins and ghosts who make trouble."

Zhao Mi nodded, and Xiaowei Lu continued: "It is an unprecedented case for the arrest department to reveal the hidden spies of Jiuli Kingdom this time. Moreover, the leader is still a person who has close contacts with the nobles in the capital. The courtesan of the brothel, it is very difficult for our arrest department to deal with the interference from top to bottom."

"So, I should let Qing Luoyi and the others go?" Zhao Mi asked.

"Deacon Zhao is really good at joking!" Colonel Lu sighed, "It's just that the case seems to be clear now, but almost all the big figures in the DPRK and China have got involved, and it's not all that our arrest department can figure out."

"If it's allowed, why don't Xiaowei Lu tell me?" Zhao Mi also poured a glass of wine for the other side by the way.

"Deacon Zhao may have heard that the ghosts and spirits hunted down by the arrest department this time mainly came from a ghost market near Dongshengdu." Captain Lu said, "But Deacon Zhao doesn't understand. The evil spirits in the ghost market are about to use spells to torture, and the arresting office, which was originally empty, immediately becomes full of guests."

"Who is it? Are you in such a hurry to go to the evil prison of the arrest department?" Zhao Mi asked with a smile.

Xiaowei Lu waved his hand: "Who else could it be? It was Du Zhongqinggui who sent word to the servants that the evil spirits captured by the arrest department were their guests, and they all asked us to release them."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Mi was surprised.

"I originally thought that it was just excuses, and the arrest department relied on the lord's decree to drive out the messengers of the ministers' and clan's clan." Captain Lu said: "As a result, we continued to investigate and found that the matter was really like this. .

A ghost market is like a human market, where there are merchants and merchants.Among them, a dozen or so people are sitting on the ground and have been operating in the ghost market for decades, and have been in contact with the nobles of Dongshengdu for a long time.Some transactions that are not on the bright side usually follow the path of the ghost market.

For example, the Jiujiang Zheng family, which was deeply involved this time, is said to have trafficked a large amount of grain, rice, and raw silk from their manor to the Jiuli Kingdom through the ghost market. Doing so is equivalent to funding the enemy country, which is strictly prohibited by successive rulers! "

Zhao Mi was speechless when he heard it. He originally thought that Boss Wu had already done a great job in privately trafficking in dragon blood lipids. He didn't expect Du Zhongqinggui to play this trick a long time ago, and he was so familiar with it that he didn't have to take the risk of escorting the goods himself.

"The owners of these ghost markets have long been very familiar with the nobles of Dongsheng Capital, and their industries are not only in the ghost markets, but also in the human markets." Captain Lu said, "It's like the treasure that you were assassinated, Deacon Zhao. The pavilion is a property owned by a ghost market. There are quite a lot of facades like this in Longzangpu!"

Zhao Mi frowned and said, "Since it is the property of the evil ghosts in the ghost market, it should be confiscated directly. I remember that Longzangpu was originally set up by the former king of Huaxu Kingdom. How could it be occupied by the evil spirits of the ghost market?"

Lieutenant Lu shook his head: "It is true that Longzangpu was set up by the ancestors, but it is not that simple. At the beginning, the ancestors also invited the clan members to participate together. As for the truth behind this, Deacon Zhao slowly pondered. In fact, many properties are managed for the children of the clan... Sigh! That's why I say it's difficult."

Zhao Mi leaned on the back of the chair and questioned: "Could it be that the lord of the country allows the clan's children to behave like this?"

"Deacon Zhao, be careful with your words," Captain Lu pointed out.

"Yes, I made a slip of the tongue." Zhao Mi asked again: "This time the arrest department was able to wipe out the ghost market so quickly. Could it be that the existence of the ghost market has been known for a long time?"

"It's natural." Lu Xiaowei said: "At least it's under our noses. If we don't know it at all, then we don't have to mess around."

Zhao Mi was puzzled: "Since we know, why didn't the arresting department clear them out early? I'm afraid that the actions of ghosts and evil spirits are not just to gain illegal profits for the nobles in the capital, right? How many unknown vicious evil spirits are there? Row?"

Lieutenant Lu replied: "Well, we more or less understand this. But the existence of the ghost market has its own reasons. It is more convenient for our arrest department to deal with these evil spirits. It is like Dongshengdu also has a few hooligans. As long as these rascals don't come out to attack the nobles in the capital and commit crimes in the streets, the government servants won't bother to go in and control the world."

Zhao Mi's hand holding the cup tightened slightly. He didn't expect that Xiaowei Lu's answer was almost exactly the same as what Liang Tao said.Is it possible that the government offices of the court and central government all do things like this?

"But I was assassinated anyway." Zhao Mi held back his unhappiness.

"This time, the ghost market has crossed the line, not to mention that there are spies from Jiuli Kingdom involved." Xiaowei Lu said with a smile: "But Deacon Zhao, don't worry, Qing Luoyi and the others will definitely want to sacrifice their heads to sacrifice the flag. It is thanks to your interception that we will be able to report to the king this time."

"What a errand." Zhao Mi whispered in his heart, without changing his face, he said: "This matter is not entirely due to me, thanks to Liang Guoshi's guidance."

Captain Lu asked in a low voice: "Deacon Zhao, I don't understand something. I heard that you once confronted Liang Guoshi in public in Xingluo County. Why would he help you this time? Is there any mystery in this?"

Zhao Mi couldn't stop sneering inwardly, probably the other party felt that he was relying on flattery to please Liang Tao to help him.

"There's no secret, I guess Liang Guoshi likes people who contradict him." Zhao Mi replied casually.

……

"That's what Zhao Mi said?"

Inside the Difei Mangosteen Hall, Liang Taoan sat on the couch, his long black hair was loosely scattered, and a plump and beautiful woman beside him was combing his hair.

And Jiang Ru replied below: "That's right, he thinks that the first seat owes him something, so let me come here to ask the first seat what his intentions are."

"This Zhao Mi is extremely smart, but he just doesn't know how to be a human being." Liang Tao laughed and said, "Since I figured it out, I insisted on exposing it to the point of embarrassing others."

Jiang Ru bowed her head and said nothing, Liang Tao looked down at her: "What else did Zhao Mi say?"

"There is one thing, please tell me." Jiang Ru said in a cautious tone, "Zhao Shu claimed that his father died in the battle of Fu Migu and was buried in Botao."

"Fu Mirage Valley?" Liang Tao frowned, and raised his hand to signal the beautiful woman beside him to stop.

"Yes." Jiang Ru felt uneasy in her heart: "I also mentioned to him that the person who cast the spell to divert the flood is the first one."

Liang Tao was silent for a long time: "This is the first time I understand this matter."

Jiang Ru raised her head and asked, "Could it be that the chief didn't know anything before?"

Seeing Jiang Ru speak like this, the beautiful woman next to Liang Tao immediately signaled her to shut up with her eyes.Liang Tao also noticed it, but he didn't pursue it. He just said: "At that time, besides using spells to divert the flood, I also had to deal with monks from the Xiong Kingdom who came to surround and kill them. I had no time to be distracted. , I never asked. What's more, the orders in the army were passed on layer by layer, and it was not my responsibility who led the troops to the Mirage Valley in the end."

"So that's the case." Jiang Ru felt relieved: "It seems that Zhao Mi misunderstood, I will explain the inside story to him later."

"No need." Liang Tao seemed to understand something: "With Zhao Mi's scheming, how could he talk about his father's death in Chongxuan Hall in front of you? He is using your mouth to tempt me."

Jiang Ru was shocked, she didn't expect Zhao Mi to be so courageous, is he desperate?

"That's good too, so you don't have to hide it." Liang Tao smiled and said, "It's really a talent to be able to guess my thoughts. You don't have to waste your thoughts when you speak in the future."
