Pawn Crossing the River

After a few months, Qi Xuansu finally came to the "Dream Meeting" again on February 15th.

It’s still the same way, it’s still the same place, and the “dream meeting” is still the same.

The interior of a magnificent hall is surrounded by a lot of fog, and everything is hazy and blurry, making it difficult to see clearly. There is no dome above, but a vast starry sky.

The only difference is that today's "Dream Meeting" was particularly lively, with people coming and going. It was not as deserted as the previous few times, but more like a busy city.

Qi Xuansu looked around and began to look for Qiniang.

Then Qi Xuansu saw Qiniang within a few steps.

What does it mean to have stars holding the moon?

Qi Xuansu has seen it all.

Qiniang was standing on a step,

Of course, these people are not attracted by Qiniang's appearance, not to mention that they can't see the real appearance in the "dream meeting". Even if they can see it, an old lady can't compare to a young and beautiful girl. The key is that the little girls don't have the skills, connections, and abilities of Xu Niang. These people all want Qiniang.

Qi Xuansu remembered that Qiniang once said that because the dream stone was added to the fish talisman, the fish talisman could not only communicate with dreams, but also manifest itself in dreams. Specifically, it may be a little difficult for a martial artist to do it, and it may be easier for an alchemist, but it can be done. As long as you visualize your fish talisman in your mind, it will appear in your dream.

After manifesting the fish talisman, you can establish contact with other people's fish talismans through your own fish talisman. As long as they are both in the "dream meeting", there will be a connection. If it is no longer needed afterwards, you can also cut off this connection, which is very convenient.

Judging from the scene in front of me, Qiniang's fish charm has established connections with countless people.

In this case, Qi Xuansu didn't even know the meaning of covering up his appearance.

Qi Xuansu did not step forward rashly, but just watched from a distance. After Qiniang had finished handling all the matters at hand and the people around her gradually dispersed, Qi Xuansu stepped forward.

Because there were so many people looking for Qiniang to do business, no one paid attention to Qi Xuansu.

"Here we come." Qiniang used the fish talisman to materialize an account book, and was looking at the account book in her hand without raising her head. Qi Xuansu was amazed that the fish talisman could appear in dreams because of the addition of dream stones. Could it be that dream stones were also added to this account book?

Qi Xuansu got straight to the point and said, "Qiniang, I don't have any peace money anymore. Do you have any errands to make money?"

Qiniang closed the account book in her hand, cleared the fog from her face, and asked, "What do you want the money for?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I got a 'blood pill'. The medicine is too strong and cannot be taken directly. I need to buy 'yuye wine' to neutralize it. If there is an errand to give 'yuye wine' directly, that's fine."

Qiniang said: "I have never heard of anyone using 'Yu Ye Liquor' as payment, but there are many people who use peace money as payment."

"That's good." Qi Xuansu said.

Qiniang did not rush to do errands for Qi Xuansu, but said something off-topic: "You have slacked off a lot recently. In the past, you would not wait until you had no money to come to me again."

"Is there any?" Qi Xuansu was startled.

Qiniang looked at him: "Do you know what a man's greatest weakness is?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head.

Qiniang laughed: "The weakness of most men is not themselves, but their family members. So the boys who were bold when they were young, become timid after they have worries. They don't dare to do this, don't dare to do that, and look forward and backward. I always think about my responsibilities as a father and husband, and I live for others.”

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say.

Qiniang said: "Have you seen those people begging me? They all have families, a group of people who have to support their families, so it is easy for me to manipulate them. They can only accept it and don't dare to fall out with me. On the contrary, A little bachelor like you, who can feed the whole family without worrying about one person, is the real thorn in the side. If you choose to give up, you can do whatever you want. Apart from using force and threatening your life, I don’t really have anything to do with it. Good idea."

Qi Xuansu touched his chin: "If there are too many bachelors, wouldn't they become a source of chaos?"

Qiniang chuckled and said, "So I introduced you to Miss Zhang. Tell me honestly, did you ever back down when you went to Bai Yutang?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless.

After having said the digression, Qiniang turned to the main topic: "Let's get down to business, I have a escort mission here, which was entrusted to me by an old friend."

"Escort?" Qi Xuansu thought for a while, "Escort leader, escort, the kind that gives money to the bandits when they encounter bandits?"

Qiniang said: "This escort is a bit special. There is no escort, you are the only one, and there is no cargo. This is a human escort."

"Human escort?" Qi Xuansu was even more surprised, "What is this?"

Qiniang explained: "To put it bluntly, I want you to escort someone from a certain place to a certain place."

After all, Qi Xuansu has been in the world for a long time and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"It's really not that simple. Do you know about Daomen's Jiangnan case?" Qiniang asked.

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "Yes, Qing Xiao told me about it. When Qing Xiao was responsible for handling this case, he narrowly escaped death. When Qing Xiao and I went to Yunjin Mountain, we also encountered a group of assassins, which seemed to be related to this case. "

Qiniang said: "This case is indeed far-reaching and involves many people. In the end, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest was executed."

Qi Xuansu said: "I know this. The original master of Jiangnan Daofu was also transferred away because of this."

"Then do you know who this second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest is?" Qiniang asked.

Qi Xuansu was startled and shook his head.

Qiniang said: "Since you don't know, let me tell you that this second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest is Fang Linhou, the former deputy head of Jiangnan Daofu. After the Jiangnan major case happened, Beichen Hall immediately dispatched two deputy heads. The Lord and a large number of spiritual officers arrested Fang Linhou and escorted him back to Yujing. During the discussion in Jinque, Donghua Zhenren proposed to use Fang Linhou as a wedge to carve a gap in the black curtain to completely solve the problem. "

Qi Xuansu said: "But in the end, only Fang Linhou died."

Qiniang smiled lightly and said: "Because it is an iron curtain and cannot be cut. Even if the wedge is broken, there is no chance of seeing any cracks."

Qi Xuansu is no longer surprised that Qiniang knows so many inside stories. The Qingping Society is already known for being well-informed, and Qiniang is undoubtedly the most well-informed person in the Qingping Society. With her connections, she wants to know a lot of inside information. Not difficult.

Qiniang continued: "At that time, Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall jointly tried the case. Fang Linhou wanted to survive and asked his family to send an official ticket of 100,000 Taiping coins to the deputy head of Beichen Hall who was responsible for the matter. If If you exchange it for peace money, you can pile it up into a small mountain."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What then?"

Qiniang smiled at the corner of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Fang Linhou does not expect to keep his position, or even his name as a real person, he only wants to save his life. But from the fact that he was named by Donghua Zhenren as After the wedge, it was destined that no one could save him. The deputy hall master accepted the money and agreed. However, during the court hearing, the deputy hall master of Beichen Hall took out the 100,000 peace coins intact. The name of the bribe was handed over to Feng Xiantang, and there was even a photo taken as evidence, which gave Fang Linhou the final blow. The crime was increased and he was executed immediately. "

Qi Xuansu felt a chill on his back: "Killing without blood."

Qiniang said happily: "I gave up one hundred thousand Taiping money because I still have hundreds of thousands or even millions of Taiping money."

Qi Xuansu looked at Qiniang.

Qiniang said slowly: "As Master Donghua said, Fang Linhou is just an abandoned son who was thrown out by others. No matter how Feng Xiantang examines this matter, it cannot be found out. Because a man's weakness is often his family, Fang Linhou also has family members. If he tells the truth, he may not survive, but his wife and children will definitely die, so even if he is killed, he would not dare to speak out. "

Qi Xuansu couldn't help holding his breath.

Qiniang asked: "Tianyuan, you said that Fang Linhou is dead, who should his members belong to?"

Qi Xuansu was silent for a while and then said: "In this case, Fang Linhou must die."

"If you can return to Taoism in the future, you will also encounter this kind of problem. You know that something is wrong, but the superiors named you to do it. You have to be obedient. If you are disobedient, they will immediately replace you with someone who is obedient. Someone will take your place, and when the time comes to hold you accountable, you will have to shoulder the responsibility." Qiniang said with a faint smile, "So, it's good to have a backer, just like your Miss Zhang, she doesn't want to do anything. , no one can force her, but even so, you saw that there are still people who want to kill her. "

"Tian Yuan, don't think that the flash of swords and shadows on the rivers and lakes can show how people's hearts are. It's just a child's trick. Within the Taoist sect, there are actually rivers and lakes."
