The confession obtained by Lian Nishang at Fuchun Court soon arrived at Mu Min's desk, and Mu Min ordered a copy to be made immediately and handed over to Wu Mu. Liang Cunhou has been put on the "watch list" of the Political Security Bureau, and any material involving him and his family will be copied and put into a newly created file.
The investigation of Liang Cunhou was a matter for the Political Security Bureau, and Mu Min was not involved. But she vaguely felt that there was some connection between the Spring Visiting Courtyard and the Maojia Inn case. This is an intuition developed from a long career in police work. She sent a warrant to Lian Nishang, asking her to "dig out the roots and catch the models" in the Spring Visiting Yard, especially to find out the persecution of prostitutes in the Yard.
Mu Min disclosed this matter at an internal briefing meeting, and as expected, it immediately aroused a strong interest in the Visiting Spring Courtyard from all walks of life. Purging the custom industry is one of the important policy outlines of the Senate in Guangzhou, which not only involves "changing social atmosphere." Positive factors such as "social transformation" and "women's liberation" have more benefits for local governments in terms of "cleaning up public security" and "taxation". Therefore, relevant departments have requested to be deeply involved in this incident as a "model".
Wen Desi, who presided over the meeting, immediately announced with a stroke of his pen that various departments would set up a joint working group at the Chun Chun Institute to start "on-site work."
As soon as this order came out, the publicity was first announced. Ding Ding first sent people to do a special report, and then Mayor Liu also sent people to station, and then the naturalized cadres from the Commerce Bureau and Ziminglou Entertainment Co., Ltd. also went ... There was a lot of traffic and people coming and going at the entrance of Fangchun Yuan, but everyone on Lefang Street knew: Fangchun Yuan was about to end.
Mu Min was naturally happy for everyone to help. What's more, her main intention was to use this to beat Liang Cunhou and force him to take action.
As long as he moves, there will be a flaw.
Mu Min thought to herself that the next person to deal with was the Guandi Temple troops. It's time for this abscess to break.
"Old god, what do you think the next step should be?"
In the adobe house in the small courtyard in the back alley of Guangzhou city, people are talking under the window.
"Is Yuewan okay over there?"
"Although Fuchun Courtyard is a pot of waste water, her place is still peaceful. The thieves haven't come over yet. There are no restrictions on entry or exit, and no questioning." Hu Guanjia said, "Young master is really auspicious for this inspection!"
"These are all the merits accumulated by your master through your kindness to your servants," the Taoist said, twirling his beard. "It's just that the Spring Visiting Courtyard is in ruins. It's a pity."
"What the old immortal said is true, but it just made Miss Suiyun suffer a lot." Butler Hu sighed, "My young master also wants to ask the old immortal for an idea. Is it possible to go to Yue Wan?"
The Taoist priest nodded and said: "Of course we can't go. The Kun thieves searched Yue Wan's yard and must have become suspicious of your master. This is first of all. Secondly, the Kun thieves are setting up a prison in the Spring Courtyard. I heard that Sister Han Qiao and Mu Yun and others are all suffering, and I am afraid that all of them will be recruited. Thirdly, there are many thieves in the Spring Visiting Courtyard now, and the sound of knocking and knocking is loud. Which rich man would rush there to enjoy such a scenery? It is abnormal. As a monster, how could the thief Kun not think of this?"
Butler Hu nodded in agreement and said, "It doesn't matter where Sister Han Qiao is, they don't have anything important to say..."
The Taoist slowly shook his head and said no more. He is the Taoist Master of Wood and Stone that Sister Han Qiao calls him. Although he looks old, he is actually still in his prime. These are the traces of the exhaustion of traveling and sleeping in various places for many years, and this was also done intentionally by him.
Although he appears to be a wandering Taoist, he was actually working as a servant in Jinyiwei. Under the guise of visiting people, catching ghosts, exorcising demons, and treating diseases, they went deep into various places to investigate people's sentiments and monitor officials. After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he abolished the practice of Jin Yiwei monitoring officials. When he had no errands, he was recruited by the big boss "Shi Weng" in the court to work for him.
Ever since Kun Thief arrived in Qiongzhou eight years ago, he has been working on behalf of his master these years. However, several conspiracies failed. This time he came to Guangzhou not only to use the victory-weary technique on the Kun thieves, but also to shoulder an important mission from his master.
"It's not that I'm overly concerned. I'm afraid that the Kun thieves have already laid a dragnet around Lefang Street, just waiting for us to get through it." Taoist Mu Shi said slowly, "We made a big mistake in looking for children from the Chun Chunyuan!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
Because there was so much noise outside, the Guandi Temple people did not dare to get involved in the business of abducting children, and Renya also did not dare to buy and sell children of unknown origins at will. They couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so they started to pass Yue Wan. The idea of looking for a suitable candidate from Pipazai.
In fact, Akira's horoscope is also very reluctant, but among the girls they can get their hands on, she is the closest. Wu Zhiqi warned several times that the days when the formation could be performed were coming to an end, and if no suitable child could be found, the formation would be completely useless. Only then did Taoist Mu Shi use Pipazai's idea. Many of the pipa boys come here to take pictures of flowers, and their origins are unknown. No one will care if they disappear. And because this Ming girl was bought secretly, she didn’t even register her temporary household registration at the police station, so she was even “cleaner”.
I didn't expect that the policemen who were the thieves were so sincere. They searched all over Guangzhou for a little girl, and finally even broke into Jin Shen's outer house! No one, whether it was Taoist Mu Shi or anyone else involved in the matter, expected this. When Taoist Mu Shi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel upset secretly.
Originally, I kept myself quiet and just sat on the fishing boat. In this way, he would be considered "famous" by Kun Thief. Not only that, but the Liang family was also involved.
If we go by past experience, once the situation is revealed, running away is the best option. However, it didn't work this time. It can be said that none of the missions he shouldered were completed. A large amount of money was spent, but many lives were lost. Although the arrested were all hired, if the thieves opened a gap and took the opportunity to raise a prison, aside from that, the Liang family would be implicated. Going in, there are many relatives, contemporaries, mentors and friends of his in the capital. If an army is launched to hold him accountable, Shi Weng's life will be very difficult!
He thought for a moment and said slowly: "The things in Yue Wan's place must be destroyed as soon as possible - don't move them to other places. If they are caught, it is irrefutable proof! Besides, the thief Kun doesn't care about Jin Shen's dignity. There is no guarantee that he will come again." A search!"
Butler Hu said: "I understand, little one."
"As for Miss Yuewan herself, there is no need to worry too much about whether the thief Kun will take advantage of her in the near future," Taoist Mu Shi said, "The thief Kun is still thinking of the incestuous friendship that your master originally helped, and their foothold in Guangdong is not yet stable. , if there is no considerable reason, make trouble on Tai Sui's head. It's just that the thieves are violent and eccentric in nature, so don't touch their evil scales for trivial matters. Today is no better than in the past."
Hu Guanjia said: "The Taoist Master is right."
Taoist Mu Shi sighed and said, "You and I have been close friends for many years, and there is one sentence that I don't like to express. It's not enough for outsiders to explain."
Butler Hu said: "The old god's words are serious. Please tell me."
Taoist Mu Shi said slowly: "I originally thought that Wu Zhiqi's magic was extremely high and he would be able to cause a big storm in the city, but I didn't expect that his Taoism was actually broken - maybe the Ming Dynasty's luck has been exhausted..."
Butler Hu had a look of panic on his face. The fortune of the imperial court was low and the emperor's star was dim. This was something Taoist Mu Shi mentioned on several occasions when he came to Sui. This time they created such a magic circle, but failed completely in the end. Could it be that fate is really on the side of the thief?
Thinking that in the first month of this year, the rogue bandits broke into the central capital and burned down the imperial tombs, the Ming Dynasty's luck was really extremely bad. Could it be that this bandit was also born in response to the calamity, and is the Ming Dynasty really going to die?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back.
The Taoist continued: "I will abandon this place soon, and you will never come here again. I will contact you when I find a new place."
"Yes, then I will wait for news from the Taoist Priest."
"Please tell your master to put down your claws and go dormant for the time being. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. Although Governor Xiong has retreated to Guangxi, the Holy One has not punished him. Now he is deploying wolf soldiers and chieftains from all over Guangxi to help in the battle. I heard We must also publicize and mobilize the white-pole army."
"So, the imperial court has plans to conquer Guangzhou?" Butler Hu looked excited.
"Exactly."
After Butler Hu left, Taoist Mu Shi called his young apprentice and whispered a few instructions.
"Contact Mr. Mo and ask him to send a message to Gao Tianshi: The offering is gone. No matter what method he uses, go and get another offering as soon as possible."
Taoist Mu Shi vaguely felt that he should probably get rid of this demon immediately and then leave Guangzhou, a place of right and wrong. But he had to answer something to his master. Whether the wizard's Taoist magic works well or not, just like a drowning person, there is always a straw to grasp for life.
He silently poured out the tea in Butler Hu's cup and washed the teacup clean. He has already put poison in the tea - he got the poison from Dongchang. According to the dose, it is divided into one day, two days, three days, and up to seven days. Dongchang used to use this to secretly execute everyone who made the emperor and Dongchang feel "disgusting". Housekeeper Hu won't survive tomorrow night after he goes back - even if he calls a doctor, he will probably only be diagnosed with an attack of colic.
Liang Cunhou couldn't do this, but he could.
He was really sad to hear that he poisoned Butler Hu to death. Butler Hu had been one of his subordinates in his early years. During the Tianqi period, he was ordered to come to Guangzhou to monitor Liang Cunhou's grandfather. Liang Younian, the former Youbu government official in Zhejiang Province, worked as a servant in Liang's house until now. It has been more than ten years. He is an effective member of his subordinates. However, he had met and contacted him many times. He knew too many things and his target was too big. Once he was arrested, the Liang family would inevitably be implicated, and the consequences would be unimaginable, so he was eliminated quickly.
Fortunately, in addition to this technique, he also has a backup plan. I just don’t know if I can make it in time. It would be great if the Ming Dynasty also had a "telegraph" that could deliver news instantly like Kun Thief. Taoist Mu Shi couldn't help but think. (To be continued.)
