After a while, it started to snow again. People in the restaurant who had gone into the mountains to transport charcoal said that maybe it was because Lord Zhangshan had done something wrong that aroused the anger of the underworld, so the thunder fell and the celestial phenomena changed.
However, Li Bochen, who was wearing a raincoat and sitting in a corner against the wall, was not eye-catching. There were many people dressed similarly, and they all came to drink a bowl of warm wine before leaving, which made him look like an ordinary person in the shop.
He sat here for nearly an hour and ate a lot. At first, the clerk in the store looked at him a few times, but later when there were more customers, he didn't care anymore. Zhangcheng is a prosperous place, with many merchants traveling from north to south, as well as wealthy people from all over the world. Although he looks tall and tall now, the clerk is also very knowledgeable.
After listening to a lot of gossip, I gradually learned some things.
For example, Sui Ziang was not dead. But Li Bochen was only slightly surprised, not very surprised. When he was in Beiyuan, Sui Buxiu demonstrated the prayer technique that relied on Emperor Liudu's luck, so he and he didn't freeze to death. Sui Ziang also practiced temple magic, and it was probably because of this that he was lucky enough to survive.
But I heard that I don’t know whether I am alive or dead now, and it seems that I fell badly.
Another news is that both the Tao family and Ye Yinghong were detained in the prison and said they would be executed tomorrow. Li Bochen was not surprised, but was slightly relieved.
It seems that his wooden letter worked - Sui Yilian brought people back from Kongminghui. This is the result he hopes for. He has never been to the Kongming Society's territory and knows nothing about it, let alone what kind of masters and methods there are.
On the other hand, the Fu Zhi Yamen is relatively more familiar, and there are not too many variables. Wuliang City is its own government, and it also has a government office. The layout of the government offices in the Six Kingdoms was similar. He had been in and out of the government offices in Wuliang City, so he was very familiar with the terrain.
Now that he can leave his body, he can actually use this method to go to the Yamen to find out what happened. I did try this before, but found that I couldn't get in. The government office must have considered a similar situation when building it, so they set up some kind of formation restriction. As soon as his ghost came close to the wall, it was pushed back by invisible forces, and he couldn't even hear his voice.
But Li Bochen knew that this was a very reasonable thing. If a local government office doesn't even have this precaution, it will actually make him feel afraid.
However, even the people in this restaurant knew that it was a bit strange that the Tao family and Ye Yinghong were going to be executed. He had just invited a man to drink a bowl of wine, and he knew from his mouth that Zhangcheng Mansion wanted to kill prisoners, mostly in the autumn period. Although it is not necessary to report to the country for approval, it still has to be reported to the state.
Now that they are so anxious, and the charge is still "colluding with Li Guo to rebel against the party," there is undoubtedly another motive.
Maybe he wants to call himself a robbery. Or maybe Sui Yilian saw how miserable Sui Ziang was being tortured by him, and in desperation he planned to kill someone to vent his anger - it would be best if he could be lured away tomorrow, and if he ran away, he could also use this to make himself regretful.
However, he felt that if he were Sui Yilian, he would never make such a foolish move - to secretly ambush a large number of soldiers, and then take the four of them to the state, so that he would feel that there was an opportunity, and then go to rescue them.
Tribulation of the law field... robbery of the law field. Hearing this from romance novels really made people excited, but Li Boxen knew that if he really did this, he would never come back. He wasn't afraid of death, but it would be too stupid to die like this.
Have to think of another way.
He ordered another bowl of wheat rice, poured all the soup and water left on the table into the rice, ate a big gulp, then paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant.
Now I have to implicate one more person.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but many people in the city go to the mountains to transport charcoal, and the streets are busier than usual. He walked carefully through the streets and alleys until he came across the weapons shop run by Ye Yinghong. The door of the shop was closed, but there was only a thin layer of snow covering the front of the shop, indicating that someone had swept it after it snowed in the morning.
He put on his big cloak and sat against the wall, closing his eyes. After a while, he stood up again, crossed the street, avoided the sight of the two people on the roadside, jumped over the wall from the back alley and jumped into the courtyard.
This is the backyard, there is no one around. But I could hear horses snorting in the front yard and the sound of people talking in low voices. Li Boxen walked to the main door, opened the door and walked in. After entering the main hall, he opened the curtain of a room on the left.
The people in the room were sitting at the table writing something, and Li Boxen said: "Mr. Sun."
Sun Que's hand trembled, and the pen dragged an ink mark on the paper. Then he turned around and saw Li Bochen. He was stunned and whispered urgently: "General Li, listen to me -"
Li Bochen waved his hand, sat down on the side, and said: "I know. Mr. Sun is writing a letter to the Zhou family in Quzhou, asking them to find a solution. I just heard on the street that you sued Sister Hong for selling goods to the rebel party. I don’t quite understand, so I came to ask.”
Sun Que stood up and couldn't help but look at the table. But he seemed to think that Li Boxen was a cultivator, so it was not surprising to know the content of his letter, so he said: "Yes... I was the one who reported it. But my boss asked me to do this."
Li Bochen nodded: "Please elaborate."
"After the general left that day, he said that someone would come to ask questions, and sure enough they came. We followed the general's instructions and thought that nothing would happen. But then we found that we were being watched...not by the government. People from the Yamen are actually people from Kongminghui."
Sun Que looked at Li Bochen carefully as he spoke. Li Bochen could guess what he was thinking, so he just listened quietly. Sun Que added: "It didn't take long before people from Kongminghui came to kidnap someone. My boss knew that this matter had to do with the general. I'm afraid it was not a trivial matter. We also knew that Kongminghui was very powerful and there would probably be big trouble here. , just wanted to leave a way out for myself - to ask me to tell her what happened that day and sue her on the spot."
"My boss did this just to leave me free so that I can arrange her activities outside. But I never expected...to have this result today. General Li, have you heard that my boss is going to the execution ground tomorrow?" !”
It turned out to be arranged by Ye Yinghong. He heard about this in the restaurant - but people said that Sun Que was unfaithful and unjust and actually reported the mistress. He also said that he had been holding back for several years and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Bochen thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong with Ye Yinghong's arrangement. They are not like a bunch of trouble-ridden people, but well-behaved businessmen. I met monsters and "monsters" in Wujing Mountain, and realized in Zhangcheng that they were related to the government - these "little things" that are not worth frowning in my eyes, to ordinary people, they may lead to the destruction of their families. A big disaster.
It is in line with her temperament that she did this dangerous move and was implicated even if her name was not Sun.
Li Boxen said: "If you sue her, will the people of Kongminghui believe you? Why?"
Sun Que sighed: "I'm really ashamed to talk about this...but the general is not an outsider anymore, alas."
