Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60
Yue'er continued:

"They discussed it all night and roughly came up with the rules. Starting from the second day, everyone in the lower house started to get busy. Every night at night, we young disciples would be led by the teacher and walk dozens of miles to sneak into the Pufu Palace to collect the information. The moved household furnishings were all moved to the lower courtyard. There were several famous flowers in the palace, but they were all dug up, leaving only the wild and easy-to-grow flowers and plants, left to fend for themselves. The main hall of Pufu Palace has always been magnificent, Ling You The envoy taught us to use yellow mud mixed with water to smear the golden body, and then lightly sprinkle some loess and sand in several parts of the side hall of the main hall. After a few days of this, the grass, trees and moss grew wildly in summer and were not pruned. The whole palace turned into a mess. It looks slightly dilapidated."

"More than ten days later, Master Qin Xiang came down with her men. As soon as they arrived, the main show began. The main altar summoned aunt back, mainly to use aunt Zhong's method of making mist incense. In this big plan, one person All in all, drug addiction is an important link.

In retrospect, the small island in the abandoned garden of Haining Temple is probably the experimental field of my aunt's fragrance.My aunt seems to be one of the stragglers in the sect. Although her methods of poisoning are extraordinary, she does not have any capable disciples under her sect. It seems that she is not very popular in the sect.I haven't taught anything to her since I came in, but now I've been taught a few ways to use Shenxian Shenzui Powder and so on.

Dozens of disciples from the lower courtyard set up fishing nets on dozens of cypress trees in front of the main hall. We crouched in various places in the palace and practiced with Qin Xiangzhu and the others countless times. We felt that everything was perfect, so the play began.

It was June [-]th, and the morning glow filled the sky. The sky slowly changed, and the sky became increasingly dim. A few drops of rain fell before noon.I lay on the roof of the palace and saw the dust rising slightly. A group of carriages slowly drove into the mountain gate. They seemed to be a group of female relatives. They later entered the empty hall to take shelter from the rain.

In less than a cup of tea, six or seven more knights came in, led by a brave and majestic young man. This is exactly our target, Xu Tuiguan. We have been familiar with his portrait a few days ago. It seems that the teacher The artist in the painting painted him so vividly that I recognized him at a glance.

"Why is this scene so familiar to me, June [-]th? What you said is simply our experience." Wang Cai said in surprise: "It's just that we took shelter from the rain in the Jade Emperor Pavilion."

Yue'er said: "These two groups of people were drugged by my aunt as soon as they entered the mountain gate. Although the previous group of people had nothing to do with our plan, they followed one after another and could not distinguish them. The windows in the main hall were closed, and the door Although it was open, it could only be regarded as a semi-enclosed space, and the intoxication deepened. The aunt's incense was not colorless and odorless, but there was some smell of incense and candles in the abandoned Sanqing Hall, which naturally did not attract others' attention. This intoxication The toxicity is not severe, it just causes some hallucinations and some weakness in the hands and feet.

"According to the time we calculated during the performance, these people will have hallucinations after about one stick of incense. At this time, Qin Xiangzhu's men, a magic grass stage troupe came on stage. No matter whether the other party wants to watch or not, the magic will be performed. Under the influence of incense, the human brain always has no time to react."

"In this way, we used the show of Immortal Climb to the Sky, and openly and publicly made the group of knights disappear from the sky one by one. In fact, they had been thrown into the pre-stretched fishing net on the cypress tree. The martial arts in the teaching were superb. The disciples lurked there and stunned them one by one and moved them to the bullock cart prepared outside the mountain gate. At this time, the song and dance performance had not ended yet, and the people in the hall could not notice the outside. "

Wang Heng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "They claim to be the Yangzhou Colorful Troupe, Parrot Xiao Cui, Goddess Scattering Flowers, Xiao Qing Picking Pears, but they performed these shows? I also think that the convoy that entered the mountain gate first was us."

Yue'er nodded: "It seems that we are talking about the same thing. At that time, I was lying in ambush on the roof to help. I only paid attention to the young official we wanted to arrest, and the others did not identify him carefully."

Wang Cai scratched his head and said, "But aren't we taking shelter from the rain in the Jade Emperor Pavilion? Could it be that the Jade Emperor Pavilion is also called Pufu Palace?"

No one can answer this question. Even Wang Cai and Wang Heng don't know this place. Yueting and Yue'er are still strangers.

Wang Heng asked: "We witnessed those people climbing higher and higher, reaching the sky. What's going on?" "You had already had hallucinations at that time, and Master Qin Xiang had a little plan." Yue'er said.

Wang Heng suddenly had an idea and said, "I guessed it. It was raining and dark at that time, and what we saw was just a shadow puppet show."

Yueer nodded repeatedly.

"It turned out to be a shadow puppet show." Wang Cai rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "It's not true what I saw with my own eyes."

"After that group of knights were captured, the others were pulled by bullock carts to the lower courtyard and imprisoned. The leader, Xu Tuiguan, was escorted to the state city by Qin Xiangzhu and others. Since they had decided to contact the abandoned garden of Haining Temple, Ling You made So I sent my aunt and me to cooperate with them."

"Unexpectedly, I overheard a secret on the way. At the fourth watch tonight, Lord Qin Xiang handed Guan Xu to the Lord Praying for Incense at the Haining Temple Pagoda. He originally wanted Xu Tuiguan to take them into the market. Boss, go rescue a prisoner named Fei Limu, and this Fei Limu is not my father."

"I don't believe it at all that Fei Limu is a brother in the sect. There is absolutely no way my father has anything to do with this immortal sect. This must be a conspiracy. After much thought, I can't let them rob my father. I Dad's crime is just corruption, and he will be exiled for a few years after paying back the compensation, not to mention that he has not yet been sentenced. If he is robbed by these people, he will only be able to survive, but I am afraid he will never see the light of day again."

Wang Heng was surprised and doubtful, and said: "The official Xu Tuiguan who made a deal with Master Qin Xiang in the Haining Temple Tower turned out to be the group of people who followed us into the Jade Emperor Pavilion to take shelter from the rain, but I clearly felt that those knights were actually aiming at We came here, but then disappeared inexplicably in the Jade Emperor Pavilion. I even breathed a sigh of relief at that time."

Wang Caidao said: "At that time, we were crouching behind the rockery in Haining Temple and only heard the sound of conversation. Later, they arrested us. We had never met Xu Tuiguan face to face. We never expected that he was the one who followed us on the official road." A group of people, I was very scared at first, thinking they wanted to cut off our way."

Yue'er continued: "The secret code for the communication between Master Qin Xiang and Master Qin Xiang was painted with secret talismans in the religion. It was painted on the four city gates and under the Gao Bridge. I then volunteered to go. Hei Gu and Master Qin Xiang had no friendship. , she went back to the island, but she didn’t come to restrain me. I thought about making things bigger, not only at the agreed contact points, but also at the lively places in the city such as Zhouqiao Bridge, Zhoujing Bridge, Xinglou and so on. There are secret talismans drawn everywhere. I am afraid that the seventh master Wang and Brother Xiaocai were attracted by this secret talisman."

Wang Cai smiled and said: "Tai Gong Jiang is fishing - whoever wants to take the bait will take the bait. Miss Yue'er, you are Tai Gong Jiang, and the young master and I are the fish."

Yueting said: "There are wrong moves. If it weren't for this secret talisman, we still wouldn't be able to get together."

Yue'er said: "That day at the Haining Temple Pagoda, I used the Immortal Intoxicating Powder to confuse the incense masters. I originally thought of letting Xu Tuiguan go first, but I didn't want Qin Xiang Master to kill him in return. The black aunt must have been exposed during the day, which taught me not to look down on anyone in the future. Fortunately, Brother Yueting rescued me. After saying goodbye to you at the three big willow trees, I rushed all the way to Gaoqiaoqiao City Bosi. The sentry post at the gate was as usual. According to time, it had been a long time since the incense master and his men followed Xu Tuiguan in. I didn't dare to stay there for a long time, so I had to circle around every now and then. Before noon, I saw a few people. A person pouring night incense came out with a cart. I didn't care if he was the incense master and the others, I'd better follow him.
