Since leaving the tomb.
After landing on the shore.
Jin An has been waiting for Guard Li to come to him and confess everything.
Back in the ancient tomb, because there were many people and the matter was urgent, it was not suitable to interrogate him slowly, so Jin An only briefly interrogated him and did not interrogate Li Huwei's identity in depth.
Instead, wait for detailed questioning after landing.
Jin An has already rehearsed several times in his mind how to cross-examine him when the time comes, and what specific details he should ask. Whatever he says this time, he must make sure that Li Weiwei's identity is clear.
But he had rehearsed it in his mind so many times, but he had never rehearsed it until the few of them stood around the sheep house so casually, chewing carrots in their hands while interrogating Guard Li with relish.
This is too casual.
Click.
Click.
Not to mention, the "little ginseng" from Yanzhou Prefecture is quite crisp, refreshing and juicy. After Jin An finished eating one, he picked up another carrot and rubbed it on the monk's robe casually a few times, and then continued to eat it with a crisp texture.
"Fat Li, please tell me in detail, where is your identity?"
Jin An saw Li Weiwei's eyes flashing and he was about to speak, so he interrupted: "Fat Li, don't try to find any excuse to fool us."
"Speaking of which, let me recall the entire process of our acquaintance. There are many suspicious things about you."
"The three major herbal medicine families in Fucheng are all more or less related to you."
"Even the exact location of Headless Village was provided to us by you."
"And many of your details in the Headless Village are also worthy of scrutiny, such as those villagers' coffins. You can always remind us of some of the most easily overlooked details."
"And this time when I went to the Yinyi River to quell the Dragon King case, you were able to disguise yourself and sneak in with the captain's cavalry guards... So in the tomb at that time, I had a bold guess in my mind, would you and the captain have been killed early? We know each other? Otherwise, how could you sneak into the team so easily?"
"Speaking of which, the He family, the Xue family, the Jia family, Wutou Village, and the Yinyi Jiang Dragon King. Behind this series of events has always revolved around a group of people! That group of antique dealers!"
Li Weiwei, who originally had twinkling eyes and some thoughts in his heart, opened his mouth after listening to Jin An's analysis and tried to explain something. In the end, he was dejected and gave up resistance completely.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, please be lenient if I confess, well, can I make a small request..."
Li Huwei said sheepishly, "Can I become the fourth junior brother of Wu Zang Taoist Temple?"
After Li Huwei finished speaking, he looked at Jin An with a longing expression on his face. His longing and uneasy little eyes seemed to be deeply afraid that Jin An would reject him.
Jin An: "?"
Good guy, is this a small request? Jin An was amused by Li Weiwei's words.
"Be serious, stop laughing and joking." Jin An glared at Li Weiwei seriously.
Guard Li: "?"
Guard Li was stunned on the spot.
He didn't smile.
It's obviously Taoist Jin An who you have been holding back your laughter.
At this time, the old Taoist priest was also amused by Li Huwei's weirdness: "Li Huwei, have you forgotten what the old Taoist I said last time, 'Everyone who enters my Taoist practice must remember the thirteen words, stop drinking, sex and wealth, and cling to love. Worry and worry, even if you can endure the pain of being alone, can you give up alcohol and meat?"
The old Taoist priest said that this did not delay him at all. After he finished chewing a carrot, he quietly stole another carrot from the goat's mouth with his eyes and continued to eat it deliciously.
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Li Huwei said to the old Taoist priest with a nonchalant expression: "Taoist Master Chen, I inquired clearly before coming here. The Five Zang Taoist Temple is a righteous one. You can eat wine, drink meat, marry a wife and have children. There is no problem with three wives." .”
"So Taoist Master Chen, stop using the 'Thirteen Taoist Characters' to deceive me."
Good guy.
It seems that Li Huwei is really determined to join Wu Zang Taoist Temple and become his fourth junior brother. He has found out everything clearly before coming.
"Speaking of abstaining from alcohol and eating meat, last time I accidentally saw Taoist Jin An, Taoist Chen, and the sword-cutting brother eating haggis..." Before Li Huwei could finish his words, he was tightly covered by Jin An and the old Taoist priest with nervous expressions. After shutting up, the old Taoist priest directly stuffed the unfinished carrot in his hand into Li Huowei's mouth. He choked and made Li Huwei roll his eyes, suffocated and struggled, and his face became redder and redder.
When Jin An and the old Taoist priest realized something was wrong and let go of their hands, Li Huwei spat out the carrot left by the old Taoist priest in his mouth. He blushed and coughed violently, and coughed out a few pieces of red from his trachea. Carrot residue.
"Ahem, just mention the key points, and just skip the unnecessary words."
Jin An changed the subject: "Fat Li, why do you insist on worshiping at the Five Zang Taoist Temple? There are many Taoist temples in the world that are bigger than the Five Zang Taoist Temple. There is even the Jade Capital Golden Tower in the capital, which is a holy place that all Taoist monks all over the world yearn for. The world is huge, and there is more than just one Taoist temple like my Five Zang Taoist Temple.”
The reason Li Huwei gave was very simple: "Because if you follow Wu Zang Taoist Temple, or follow Taoist Master Jin'an, you can encounter evil spirits every day."
The more Li Huwei talked, the more excited he became: "I haven't known Taoist Master Jin'an for a long time. It's a headless village, an ancient tomb, a tomb robber, and the Dragon King. Today I encountered another case of hiding a hand in a coffin." , I have not encountered as many evil spirits in my life as I have since I met you, Taoist Master Jin An!"
Poof, the old Taoist priest beside him couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing. He really burst out laughing, and a mouthful of residue sprayed all over the floor.
"Old Taoist, hurry up and clean up. Clean up, it's too disgusting." Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly.
The old Taoist priest went to get the broom and dustpan.
"Fat Li, don't be careless. Let's put aside the matter of whether or not you can enter the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. You have been careless so much and you haven't even gotten to the point yet. Who are you and the three major herbal medicine families in Fucheng, the captain, and that group of antique dealers? relation?"
Jin An looked directly at Li Wei.
Under his five-thunder evil-killing talisman, all evil spirits and heretics dare not look directly at him, and all people with evil intentions dare not look directly at him.
Under Jin An's direct gaze, Li Huowei showed no abnormality. He scratched his head, as if he was worried about how to organize his words, and then told Jin An everything.
"Taoist Master Jin'an should still remember that one of the antique dealers would change people's lives, right? He should also remember the life-changing notes we found in Wutou Village, right?"
"This matter must have started more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, a marquis in the capital suddenly died in the palace, which was implicated in a major case. Many officials who had colluded with foreigners were executed and executed... "
Li Weiwei had a serious expression on his face.
"Since that major event that shocked the government and the public, the capital has been completely purged. The chaotic capital has become much quieter, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been put to death."
"However, there was a secret report later that there were still a few remaining small fishes who happened to be in the capital and escaped from that incident. Since the conspiracy was discovered, these people have acted more cautiously, and there has been no news about them for more than ten years. . Until ten years ago, there were finally clues about them. These people showed signs of resurgence. They secretly harmed people, changed people's lives in a secret way, deprived others of their precious lives, and replaced them with their own. If the officialdom is prosperous, foreign chess pieces will be placed among the officials of Kangding State."
"But this time they were more cunning and cautious. They did not dare to blatantly place chess pieces in the capital where the emperor inspected. Instead, they planted foreign chess pieces in some local officials of Kangding State in an attempt to subvert Kangding State's national peace from the foundation. , As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest, and a hundred-foot room is burned by the smoke from the gap..."
"This is the reason why we appeared in Fucheng, Wuzhou Prefecture, to find all the foreigners and all the secret chess lists among the officials."
Li Huwei said so much in one breath, and took a few deep breaths with a dry mouth. He looked at Jin An and saw the calm expression on Jin An's face. It seemed that he had expected this. Li Huwei took another surprised look. Jinan.
"We? Besides you and the captain, who else is there?" Jin An asked calmly.
Li Huwei answered truthfully: "The people who came to Fucheng first were General Duwei and Lord Fu Yin. They cooperated with each other in civil and military affairs to stabilize the situation and slowly uncovered the foreign secret chess placed among the officials of Wuzhou Prefecture."
"Later... as the investigation deepened, Fu Yin and the Du Wei were attacked by a sneak attack. Fortunately, the Du Wei was a warrior. He had a masculine spirit and was not afraid of those hidden rats. However, Fu Yin was just a weak and ordinary person; and if he wanted to find out... These foreign clandestine games require not only overt investigations, but also covert cooperation..."
"So later on, I, along with a master from Yujing Golden Tower, a master from Zhenguo Temple, and a master from Tianshi Mansion, came all the way from the capital to Wuzhou Prefecture to protect Quan Yin's safety. At the same time, Cooperate with the captain and the governor in secret to investigate the case."
"Thus, three major herbal medicine merchant families emerged in Fucheng, namely the He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family. Only by letting the He family, Xue family, and Jia family compete with each other and become 'enemies' in the business field can the confusion be most easily confused. , it’s easiest to bait in muddy water.”
"Civil officials, military attachés, the underworld in shopping malls, masters from Jade Capital, Jinque Temple, Zhenguo Temple, masters from Tianshi Mansion guard the spiritual path. This is called a dragnet. They are filled with our people overtly and covertly, so that the foreigners can't hide. "
"As for why the three major medicine dealers were cultivated? Because if these monster monks want to practice evil, they will definitely need a lot of medicine stones. As long as you master the medicine stone circulation channels, you can roughly infer this group of foreigners based on which place consumes a lot of special medicine stones. action trajectory.”
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he slapped his thigh: "No wonder, I'll tell you what the old Taoist said. Although the Feng Shui patterns of He Mansion, Xue Mansion, and Jia Mansion are artificially concealed, you can still see them from some small details. It was written by the same Feng Shui master.”
The old Taoist priest had no choice but to get up as he spoke. His guess was indeed correct. The feng shui patterns of the three families' mansions were indeed created by the same person. You, Li Weiwei, are the boss behind the three families.
Li Huwei couldn't be happy to be praised by the old Taoist priest. Instead, he frowned and sighed: "But even though we have done it very secretly, it is impossible to cover everything during the New Year. In some Inadvertently small details will always reveal clues...otherwise in Lingqian Township, when Taoist Jin'an and Master Shanneng went to the underworld, they would never have found Xiao Hanbao in Jia Mansion."
"It's impossible for He Mansion and Xue Mansion to have troubles happen one after another."
"When they lured Taoist Jin'an and Master Shanneng of Bailong Temple to the Jia family, they made it clear that they wanted to move the trouble eastward and wanted to destroy the situation we had worked hard to manage for so many years. Fortunately, Taoist Jin'an and Master Shanneng both He is not a thoughtful person and would not be easily fooled by those foreign thieves."
Jin An looked thoughtful.
Everything made sense now.
Why did the military crossbows controlled by the imperial court appear among the eldest lady's entourage when she went to Lingqian Township?
It also makes sense why the three major local aristocratic families are having troubles one after another.
As for this group of foreigners who coveted the Kangding Kingdom, why did they resurrect this time in Wuzhou Prefecture? Obviously, it all started ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, the Four Symbols Bureau of Wuzhou Prefecture was broken.
More than ten years ago, the Yinyi River in Wuzhou Prefecture stopped flowing, and the stone oxen carried the corpse to dismantle the immortal stone coffin.
This group of antique dealers had their eyes on the Dongtian Paradise Passage in Wuzhou Prefecture from the very beginning! He has been secretly causing trouble in Wuzhou Prefecture for ten years!
call--
After thinking about all this, Jin An let out a deep breath.
He just came to Fucheng to return the relics of Taoist Wu Zang, but he didn't expect that he would be involved in so many things and get involved in the quagmire of power manipulation between the government and the opposition.
Logically speaking, as an ordinary citizen, he should not be involved in the quagmire of power manipulation between the government and the opposition, because this is a quagmire of flesh and blood that eats people without spitting out their bones.
Got stuck.
It’s easy to not get out.
but!
Jin An has never regretted it.
There was no thought of withdrawing and staying out of the situation.
Because, regardless of public or private interests, he must eradicate that group of antique dealers! And this time the Cave Heaven Paradise Passage appears, it is the best opportunity to catch all these people!
"Lee, uh..."
Jin An was speechless for a moment. After learning these secrets, he found that he didn't know how to call Li Weiwei.
Li Huwei was still the same Li Huwei, with a broad heart and a fat body. He smiled with an indifferent expression on his face and said: "Taoist Master Jin'an, let's just follow the old routine, Li Huwei, Fatty Li, Li Suofeng, Li Yingsu...anyone will do." .”
"Fat Li, can you tell me how the governor's daughter died?" Jin An's question made Li Huwei's expression change.
"This thing... is a bit evil." Li Weiwei hesitated to speak.
"Fu Yin's daughter died miserably, losing her hands, feet and head. In the end, the experts from Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion that I mentioned earlier took action. I don't know what happened later, but finally The missing body was found, the hands, feet, and head were sewn up overnight, and the coffin was hurriedly sealed and buried. Because of this, all three masters were injured. Among them, the masters from Zhenguo Temple and Tianshi Mansion, who were the most heavily burdened, had to return to the capital temporarily. Fucheng Only one master from Yujing Golden Tower is left in charge."
"But the three masters still refused to reveal what exactly they encountered? Why were they seriously injured? Not a word was mentioned. No one knows what happened to the three masters that night."
Jin An was startled.
I didn’t expect it to be so involved.
"That Yujing Golden Tower master, couldn't he be the mysterious Taoist master who controlled the little Han demon to cry and break the Yinyi River that night at the Dragon King Temple?" Jin An asked with a look on his face.
Guard Li nodded.
At this time, the old Taoist priest smashed the carrot in his mouth and said in surprise: "That's not right. Didn't the captain say that night that this Taoist master was not from Yujing Golden Tower?"
Li Huwei answered the old Taoist priest's question. They came to Wuzhou Prefecture to investigate the list of officials. Foreign antique dealers all acted in secret and it was not suitable to make their identities too public.
Speaking of going down to the Yinyi River, Li Huwei couldn't help complaining to Jin'an. He had approached the captain and he originally wanted to go down to the Yinyi River, but both the captain and the governor refused and would not let him go down. Yin Yijiang said he was worried about his safety.
But for such a lively event, especially being able to meet the legendary Dragon King, how could he be left out?
Later, he came to the Wu Zang Taoist Temple to find Jin An, planning to change his appearance and ask Jin An to take him down to the Yinyi River to fight evil spirits.
As a result, Jin An had been busy dealing with the Jia family's affairs at that time, and he could not meet Jin An and the old Taoist priest several times. Instead, he was idle and bored, offending the goat, and almost left the Five Zang Taoist Temple alive.
In the end, he had to come up with a trick. He disguised himself as a cavalry guard and took the opportunity to sneak into the team...
This was not the first time that Jin An had seen Li Huwei's courage. He was not surprised at all. He was just curious about another thing: "Who is the master of Yujing Golden Tower?"
Unexpectedly, Li Huwei shook his head and said that he had promised someone not to reveal his identity and asked Jin An not to embarrass him...
"Do I know this person?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
Jin An frowned in thought and asked continuously.
