Chapter 261 Old Enemy
The second day after staying in the inn was also the ninth day when Lin Shuhang entered the scene.

In the early hours of the morning, a serious accident occurred in Baohua Temple. Purple thunder fell from the sky, causing a big fire to burn. It spread, resulting in three deaths and 27 injuries.

There are rumors in the city that this is the hat demon in the world, hurting people in the city. Lin Shangshu's investigation was all right, but he was framed and imprisoned by treacherous ministers. Even God couldn't stand it anymore. The Buddha was furious. Tianlei was punished.

Coupled with the reappearance of the hat demon last night, and now the thunderstorm from Baohua Temple, the public opinion in Kaifeng Mansion finally couldn't be suppressed.

As soon as the day dawned, the matter of the hat demon was brought up again irresistibly by people. Previously, the official announcement stated that no discussion was allowed, but now people are panicked. Since someone broke the ban, and with the mentality that the law does not blame the public, The number of people talking quickly grew.

At this time, the Kaifeng Mansion was busy with the investigation of the case last night and the incident at Baohua Temple, and had no time to control it, so the topics that had been suppressed before suddenly came like a river breaking its embankment.

All of a sudden, in the streets and alleys, there were as many people talking about the hat demon last night as a crucian carp crossing the river, and even those who lived in the nearby inn that night described the process of the wolf demon eating people vividly, making everyone panic and insecure. .

But the government's high pressure soon followed. Since the end of the day, besides the patrolling officials, there have been more forbidden soldiers on the street.

Suppressing public opinion is already impossible. As long as there is no booing and publicity in person, the guests in restaurants and teahouses want to chat about hat monsters. No matter the imperial army or the officials, they have turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. It is really impossible to control .

But at least, frequent patrols can give civilians a certain sense of security and maintain the status quo of Chang'an City, which is already on the verge of collapse.

In the afternoon, new rumors appeared again, saying that the thunder in Baohua Temple was not a natural disaster, but man-made. It was the Maoshan Taoist priest who claimed to have seen the hat demon last night.

This person is in the same group as the Lin family. He used Maoshan Taoism to summon the demon thunder and created chaos in Baohua Temple. He clearly wanted to disturb Kaifeng, plot wrongdoing, or create false appearances to excuse the Lin family, and at the same time accused the court of turning black and white.

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and demanded that the Kaifeng government must arrest Chen Lezhi at all costs, so the officials patrolling the streets and the imperial guards had another task, to catch the Taoist priests.

Lin Shuhang frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Undoubtedly, Chen Lezhi was the one who used lightning to strike Baohua Temple. If he was really successful and retired, then the demon monks of Baohua Temple would have no reason to make such a publicity. Just ask Maoshan dignitaries directly, or directly ask Maoshan for trouble. Now that the city is full of storms, in addition to scaring the snakes, how can it be possible to catch a Taoist master who cultivates both martial arts and qi?
There is probably only one reason for such a publicity, that is, Chen Lezhi has been captured by Baohua Temple. The demon monk is afraid that it will really provoke Maoshan to come, so he deliberately spread rumors that Chen Lezhi has escaped, anyway, it has nothing to do with them.

At the same time, it can also be used to divert the topic of the common people, relieve the anxiety in the capital a little bit, and further confirm the charges of the Lin family colluding with evil spirits, which can be called killing multiple birds with one stone.

Frankly speaking, Lin Shuhang really doesn't care about the charges. He already knows about the 'hat demon'. As long as his strength recovers, he will go to Baohua Temple at night and find out the details of the enemy. The demons were all tied up and thrown in front of the old emperor, and naturally everything would be revealed.

As for the emperor not wanting to admit his mistakes, there is really no need to worry about it.

Song Zhenzong made great efforts to rule in the early days. In terms of martial arts, he personally concluded the famous Chanyuan alliance, which contributed to the peace of the Song and Liao Dynasties. He was also not weak in terms of culture and governance. He appointed Lu Duan as the prime minister, which contributed to the peace of Xianping. Zhi can be regarded as an emperor who has both martial arts and martial arts.

Although it is now in the late period of Zhenzong in 1018, the harem was in charge of politics in the imperial court, and Zhenzong himself built the palace extensively, laboring the people and wasting money, and his reputation was greatly reduced, but he liked the way of immortality. He was able to sit on the prime minister's position only after contributing to Fengchan Taishan.

And myself, as long as I show some magical means in front of Zhenzong, I am afraid that I can't accept the old man's heart and rehabilitate the Lin family?

Therefore, all kinds of slander against the Lin family can be ignored.

In contrast, it was Chen Lezhi's situation that made Lin Shuhang more worried.

This Baohua Temple is obviously already in the lineage of the monster clan, not to mention that Maoshan and the monsters in this world already have a deep hatred, even if there is no hatred, with Chen Lezhi's cultivation base, it will definitely be the most delicious meal in the eyes of monsters However, if Chen Lezhi really fell into Baohua Temple, it would be a disaster.

The Maoshan faction has kept a promise made more than a hundred years ago, and Lin Shuhang is quite sympathetic. Unfortunately, his strength has not recovered now, so he can only sigh. I hope that guy's luck will be better.

On the morning of the third day after entering the inn, that is, the tenth day after entering the scene, there were still about twenty hours before my recovery period.

There were more imperial guards in the city, and they began to search from house to house, checking household registration, checking names, checking everything.

Regardless of inns, private households or various taverns and businesses, all people on the street must cooperate unconditionally anytime and anywhere. It is said that Chen Lezhi has disguised himself and is hiding in the city. He must be found out as quickly as possible.

Apparently, the guy from Baohua Temple got a little anxious at the beginning, and he also found a new way to use Chen Lezhi's chess piece. This is an excuse to catch Chen Lezhi, but he is actually investigating himself, a time traveler.

The appearance can be changed, and the soul can be hidden, but the identity, origin, criminal interrogation, and professional matters are left to professional people. I don't believe that the other party can also handle the trick.

I heard that for today's investigation, the imperial court specially recruited many experienced headhunters and people from the Six Doors from nearby towns, just to take advantage of these people's expertise to tear off the disguise of the traverser.

As a result, after working all morning, Chen Lezhi failed to find out, but all kinds of monsters and monsters showed their prototypes.

Wanted criminals who have escaped for several years, those who have been involved in various lawsuits and then hid in the city in the capital, concealed their names, all kinds of habitual thieves, and even bandits and robbers who robbed houses and kidnapped them and then took ransom in the city...

Not to mention other places, just in the inn street where Lin Shuhang was located, several guys whose identities were unknown or who had obvious flaws in their identities had been found out in just one morning.

Lin Shuhang was naturally also included in this investigation, but he just casually made up his native place in Sichuan, his surname was Bai, and his family owned a bank, because three days later, the Juyuan Bank in Kaifeng was going to hold an abacus competition. See if you can recruit a powerful accountant for your family.

I have stayed in the tavern for two or three days, and I can hear miscellaneous news such as "Juyuan Bank's abacus competition" at any time even if I don't inquire about it. Lin Shuhang just mentioned it casually. It was a casual newspaper, because I am originally from Sichuan, and I have also studied the Guchuan language, and my accent is relatively similar, so it is easy to impersonate.

In this era, there is no such thing as an ID card. Officials have fish bags to prove their identity, while ordinary people only have males who have household registration with the local government.

In just a few days, it is impossible for the other party to go to Sichuan to seek evidence. In fact, this kind of interrogation is more about testing your psychological endurance, and you should not show any panic.

In addition, the headhunters will also randomly ask some questions, such as the local customs and customs of the place where your household registration is located, or where you came from, where you passed along the way, and what you have learned... These headhunters They have traveled all over the world and have a lot of knowledge. The transportation in this era is not convenient. Compared with most tourists, it is impossible to know too many things in other places. On the contrary, the head catchers can speak a few dialects of any place. I also have a good understanding of the customs and customs of various places, as well as human nature and psychology. Don't say that you gave the wrong answer directly, but if your identity and answer are slightly different, they will easily sniff out the smell and drag you out.

Of course, this set is obviously ineffective for Lin Shuhang.

In terms of mentality, it is called a stable old dog.

On gambit responses, word games?It was Lin Shuhang's real dimensionality reduction blow to these headhunters.

Once again, he easily fooled around and sat in the hall while tasting fine wine while watching the interrogation of the captors. By the way, while the captives were resting, he invited him to have two drinks and made a close relationship. To get some useful new information, it is just to confirm his identity as a wealthy businessman in Sichuan and Shu, and to be sure.

The opponent makes a move, and he dismantles his own move. Although the opponent has all the favorable factors such as the right time, place and people, but his own move can be as stable as Mount Tai.

Probably because of repeated setbacks in finding someone, the person in Baohua Temple was very angry, and he firmly believed that the traverser of the Lin family must still stay in the city, so he finally released his last big move in the evening.

The government posted up a notice, to the effect that the Lin family colluded with evil spirits to bring disaster to Kaifeng, and deserved to die. The emperor thought of his merits and only temporarily detained him, but he didn't want his leader, Lin Te, to kill the official and escape from prison. The stand-in deceived the world, and after escaping, he once again collaborated with Maoshan Taoist Chen Lezhi to spread rumors in Kaifeng Mansion. His heart is to be punished!
Now the Holy Order ordered Lin Te to be fully arrested across the country. Unless Lin Te voluntarily surrendered, by tomorrow noon, eleven members of the Lin family would be escorted to Caishikou and beheaded for public display.

Seeing this news, even Lin Shuhang couldn't help but feel a chill on his face.

This trick is a bit ruthless, this is really being strangled by someone...

The mission of my time travel is to preserve the blood of the Lin family. If the Lin family is allowed to be killed, even if the strength is restored, no matter how much they kill the Quartet, the result of the mission failure will not be undone.

Although the scene can be restarted, not to mention the waste of time and energy, the rewards for one-time customs clearance tasks will be directly halved, which is always annoying.

But if you want to go, at noon tomorrow, my recovery time has not yet come. I entered the scene at Shenshi on the first day in the afternoon, so I will not be able to recover my spirit and body until the afternoon of tomorrow, that is, after [-]:[-] noon.

During this period of at least a full hour, the fragile and ordinary person himself fell into the hands of those monsters, and I am afraid that there will be no quick skin left.

Lin Shuhang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The previous tricks were easily resolved by him, but this time he was caught seven inches, how to break the situation?

... Baohua Temple.

The night was late, people were quiet, all the monks in the temple were sound asleep, but outside the Three Treasures Hall, there were more than a dozen figures entrenched at this moment.

The leader was wearing an official uniform of the Song Dynasty. He was the father of Lu Yijian, a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment: Lv Mengheng, the prime minister of Dali Temple.

Although he looked to be over seventy years old, he had a ruddy complexion, a strong figure, and he was full of vigor when he spoke, without any signs of aging.

Behind him, there are more than a dozen black-clothed men kneeling. The black clothes are obviously specially made, with ancient runes drawn on them, which seem to be used to suppress evil spirits, but even so, from the eyebrows of those black-clothed men , still can feel a faint evil spirit emanating, very evil.

Lu Mengheng laughed and said: "Brother Wu, it's all right to eat that old monk and take his skin. How did you really learn how to worship the Buddha and chant sutras? Every time I meet in this Buddhist temple, although there are The magic weapon insulates us from evil spirits, but it is not our habit to be with Buddha, this problem should be corrected."

When the words fell, the door of the Three Treasures Hall in front was blown open by a gust of wind, and an old monk with a solemn appearance had already stood at the door of the main hall. It was Master Cifa who presided over Baohua Temple.

He clasped his hands together, smiled and said to Lu Mengheng: "People in the world say to borrow flowers to present Buddha, but I prefer to use Buddha to train my heart. Although we are monsters, who doesn't yearn for the day of ascension? Brother Chonglou, swallow this old man!" Monk, after absorbing his many memories, I realized that the wisdom of the Buddha is as vast as the sea, and the scriptures often contain the principles and truths of the Dao.

Lu Mengheng, known as the 'Chonglou', chuckled: "Hey, I'm afraid that we have done too many evil things, and the Buddha won't accept it."

"The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. The predestined people who cross the Buddha's path are not the so-called good men and faithful women in your mouth, and they don't pay attention to background like the heavenly way..." Master Cifa smiled slightly: "Forget it, I won't argue with you, tomorrow's vegetable market Has the layout of the entrance been properly arranged?"

"Don't worry, I have buried the spirit-locking magic weapon deep in the ground, as long as he dares to come, I will teach him whether to come or not!"

"Don't be careless." Master Cifa said: "You have been locked in the Zhenyao Tower for 400 years, and the last time you contacted his information was more than a hundred years ago. What changes lifts."

"Hey, this is a Cambrian magic weapon with unlimited power. I heard a lot of secrets when I was in the Demon Suppressing Tower. It is said that it made many saints in the fairy world suffer." Lu Mengheng said with a smile: "I have tried it. Many times, as long as it is activated, the spiritual energy within a radius of ten miles will be restricted and the Taixu will be isolated! Don't say that he is a mere earth immortal, even if the heavenly and golden immortals come, they will be locked! Guaranteed that he will not use any spells If you come out, you won’t be able to gather even a little bit of spirit energy, so you can only catch it with your hands.”

As he said that, his face gradually turned serious, as if he thought of some unforgettable past: "It's settled, I don't care how you use him afterwards, but I will get the first kill! I will torture him well." Flesh, let him also taste the feeling of not being able to live and not being able to die!"
