Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 131
This chapter is from last night

"At least during the next few days of evacuation from the capital, the tension of various materials is inevitable."

"No, don't you still have those accumulated and recruited over the years..."

"Without the important hand and cover of the ghost market, do you think that if a large amount of money and materials enter the capital rashly, you can make people unconscious?"

"As everyone knows, without the key points and network of Xiao Shi and Yu Fan, most of the previous arrangements in the capital have been lost."

"Could it be possible, do you really believe that there will be a powerful person who will come to the world and come here to ruin our affairs?"

"Why not? Even the living things in the Kun Ruins have been used by people. It would be so strange if there were more strange omens."

"What's the use of that? We have already taken this step, do we still want to turn back? Or, the world has changed, and you can't go back if you want to go back."

"Besides, what we are doing is related to the great cause of inspiring the world; this situation has lasted for too long, and if we continue to let it go, there will really be no hope."

"Therefore, even if there is a mighty power standing in front of us, so what! Since we have the intention to break the current situation; we can only go forward at the cost of all kinds of sins; what's more, our arrangement is not limited to one place in the capital. Woolen cloth?"

"By the way, the trial in the mountains failed again. None of the several strongholds survived. We need to obtain more blood samples."

"Isn't it enough to send so many people before? For these, I took a huge risk and compromised a lot of my arrangements."

"Naturally, the longer the family line, the more intact the pedigree is, the priority. Those fleeing mountain people, exiles, lowly people, and slaves are too unstable. Even if they succeed occasionally, they cannot be replicated. "

"Are you joking? How can this kind of thing be so easy to obtain..."

"Then let's start with the five surnames and seven wangs! After so many years, there must be a lot of blood outside."

"It is said that the few 'things' from Kunxu in the west are gradually recovering their activity. We need to hurry up."

"There has been a sensation in the capital, but the results achieved are very little; if it is not satisfactory, we can only abandon these achievements and start again."

At the same time, Jiang Tian used a handwritten record to send away the visitor, Empress Wu Desi's Marriage Officer Zhang Yu; but again received a letter from the envoy of Jinwu Street; The former vassal lord of the Xiao clan who was at large, Marquis of Yu Xiao Ding, has been arrested in the city.

However, the criminal who was suspected to be the owner of the ghost city suddenly proposed during the interrogation and torture that he wanted to meet Jiang Tian, ​​who had a major relationship with this incident; only then was he willing to reveal more follow-up inside information Come.Therefore, I hope to get his cooperation.

Jiang Tian didn't have any opinion on this, and immediately agreed.He also wanted to see what kind of tricks this Lord Xiao, who had been hiding behind the scenes for a long time and was full of distorted people, could play.But thinking of Guo Chongtao's explanation before leaving, he also let people know.

However, when Jiang Tian’s carriage arrived at the familiar Youjie Government Office, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere inside and outside was a little different; those Jinwu disciples who were lightly dressed and sentry were all surrounded by Jinwu men wearing neck coverings and carrying spears and knives. Armor replaced.Therefore, it looks chilling and awe-inspiring.

So, after Jiang Tian waited at the intersection for a while, he saw another subordinate officer from Zuo Ducha Zhou Bangyan who had worked with him on the case.Only then did Jiang Tian go forward with him, and showed the corresponding credentials and letter paper; he was able to pull the fence and refuse the horse to let him in.

However, after walking in, Jiang Tian discovered another thing again.With the resignation, transfer and promotion of Zheng Jinwu and others, it seems that none of the familiar faces in the Yamen, whether it is Zhu Biejiang, Lin Jiulang, or Chen Wentai, Zhang Wusheng, etc., can be found.

At this time, a member of the yamen who was in charge of leading Jiang Tian and who had met several times saw this kind of doubt, and some kindly took the initiative to explain to him in a low voice:
"Let's not hide from the judgment, because the matter is really serious, so at the moment, Zuo Jinwu's office came to directly intervene and take over the follow-up case. Therefore, even Li Zhonglang, who was originally in charge of the Lingwei Mansion, has to go out to defend the case." To follow, to run."

"It is also said that in order to prevent the leakage of the case details, most of the staff inside and outside the government office have been replaced; Never returned home."

"Besides, besides the Yushi Palace, there are still people from the Imperial Palace, Zongshoji, Tongzhengsi, Dali Temple, and Lifanyuan who are paying close attention to the situation here; there are also people sent by the palace. I’m just looking forward to the follow-up.”

Jiang Tian smiled undeniably when he heard the words.It seems that after the dust settles, jumping out to pick peaches and grab credit is not uncommon in this era.However, this does not have much direct relationship with Jiang Tian.All he cares about is to see if it is possible to trigger the progress of related tasks;

Because of these time encounters, Jiang Tian also discovered a certain pattern.That is to say, in the scene that triggers the character's progress, killing the corresponding people will collect the free quantum; and it seems that the more involved with the target, the more energy is collected; just like the causal rate mentioned by Buddhism.

Then, walking all the way through the heavily guarded Jiang Tian, ​​in a specially reinforced and sorted out torture room, I met the current Xiao Ding, the feudal lord of the Xiao clan.A thin middle-aged man with disheveled hair, pale complexion and pale complexion, but his eyes were strangely excited and slack.

It's just that the room that has been cleaned up and cleaned has a faint smell of blood and ointment; and on the hands and feet covered by the other party's wide prison clothes, blood scabs and scars left by the torture can also be vaguely seen.There is no way to see the rich and noble style that was once pampered.

It wasn't until the moment Jiang Tian came in that he suddenly raised his head and looked over with burning eyes.

"Sinner Xiao."

Immediately, a short and fat official with a round head and a round brain, who looked like a night owl, said with a fake smile:

"Jiang Sheng you want to meet, we have invited you here, and I ask you to know everything without saying anything..."

"It's you who broke my foundation and arrangement for many years, that one?" Xiao Ding took the initiative to speak: it's just that his voice was hoarse as if it contained a ball of sand. "I really can't see it, such a young and abnormal character."

"One for two!"

As a modern person who has personally experienced the interrogation scene, Jiang Tian will naturally not be easily led by him. On the contrary, he interrupted his rhythm without hesitation and said:
"I can answer one question for you, but you must answer two for me, or I will turn around and leave, and you can do the rest."

"Okay..." Xiao Ding was almost astonished, and then slowly replied: "Speaking of which, did you really kill those people I sent to clean up the mess by yourself? That's hundreds of masters what!"

"Of course, although it is a bit troublesome, but according to the cover of the floor and the secret passage, it is a matter of spending a little more effort to lead them out in batches." Jiang Tian half-truthfully admitted: "It is true That gray-clothed swordsman succeeded in a sneak attack from a distance."

next moment,
"You mean the little thing Yuya?" Xiao Ding showed a strange expression on his face: "My family gave birth to her since she was a child, and have spared no expense in raising Zhou Hu under the best conditions, isn't it just for this moment? It's a pity that you ruined Dali's sacrificial ceremony, which was supposed to be destroyed."

"Don't you think that all the children under my knees are my own?" Xiao Ding couldn't help laughing at himself, "I am far from my wife's family at that time; There is no way to cover it up, so is there any good thing to do for me?"

"However, I've only heard a little about the teaching of the Five Immortals; after all, apart from respecting each other on the scene, my wife and I don't spend much time together in daily life, and we just have our own interests and do what we do; The children are only raised by name."

"Don't you want to know who are their real biological fathers?" Speaking of this, Xiao Ding once again showed a strange and sad smile: "I'm afraid that you will be too timid to pursue it any further, inner life woman, inner life woman, don't you?" It's so easy to do..."

"Wutongshen? That thing is just a cover to deceive people. The Joy Luck Club, which was funded by the family more than ten years ago, used the method of esoteric teaching and heretics to steal it; because it is just some foolish men and women who still believe This thing will not attract too many people's attention."

"The owner of the ghost city? Hehe, that's just a deliberately created gimmick and legend." Xiao Ding laughed at himself again: "And I'm just a representative who was elected on the stage to take on some inconvenient matters for others. Don't you I don’t want to ask, are they all from those families?”

"Hey, they used more than a dozen medicines on me, and they wanted me to talk." Then Xiao Ding's eyes became lax again: "But how do you know, I used a lot of medicines in the early years, and I have already I can't bear it anymore; they dare to hit hard, but they are afraid that I will die."

"What kind of beast, what kind of ghost?" Xiao Ding hissed without hesitation: "I have never seen or heard of it, I only know that there are many taboo things hidden in Fanlou, and some people are raising some ferocious beasts for entertainment. Yulang colluded with someone in private, and did something in secret, but I have to order it."

After half an hour,
"So, the root of all this is because of being implicated by those gangsters in Sansefang?" In the end, Xiao Ding showed some kind of absurd expression, from muttering to a broken laugh Said: "This is really ridiculous. It's really ridiculous."

"However, as far as I know, there are people behind Sansefang." However, the next moment, he showed a strange and playful look and said, "It's not the key figures in Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County. Even I can't afford to offend, so I ask you if you dare to pursue it?"

"Is this another question for you?" Jiang Tian said unmoved: because there is no reminder of the progress of the task in his field of vision. "To tell you clearly, I do these things not for the sake of power and wealth or fame and fortune, but just because of the occasion and my heart's desire."

"How is this possible? How can there be someone like you in the world?" Xiao Ding heard the words, but he found it extremely absurd and unbelievable: "It's too ridiculous to risk life and death just for such a senseless reason. ..."

When Jiang Tian heard this, he suddenly had no interest in him anymore; because this is a scum with a distorted soul and a pleasure in doing evil that hides under the skin of wealth and grace.Now that the basic purpose was almost achieved, he turned around and left without hesitation.

"Don't go, don't go, the last question." However, Xiao Ding, who was restrained on the seat, struggled fiercely and said, "Did you know that in the ghost city that day, there was a powerful supernatural power manifesting?"

"It's a pity that I was looking for evidence in the building, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes." Jiang Tian opened his eyes and said nonsense without hesitation: "It's you, who is full of evil, even if you don't have any power to show your holiness, I will find it sooner or later. Come to you, clean up your sins."

However, at the next moment, Xiao Ding's fierce struggle still did not stop.Instead, blood started to overflow from the mouth and nose, and spit all over the body; and the energy was visible to the naked eye, and the short and fat official who was listening at the scene also opened the door and yelled:

"Come on, come on, come on."

However, Jiang Tian suddenly felt a movement in his heart and stopped.Xiao Ding, who was spewing blood and threw himself on the desk, used his free hand to smear two crooked words with blood as if he had smeared them randomly; then he was covered up by more blood splattered by him. past.
