Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 294

Since Xu Xi and the others had already gotten angry with other people beforehand, although Xu Xi and the others were a little bit reluctant, they could only wave goodbye to Xue Chang.

Xue Chang sat in the carriage prepared by Longwei, and then Xu Zhen who came in said: "Master Xue, let's go to the Honglu Temple building first, and see if there is anyone we are looking for in the Beiyan Mission. Although It is said that this possibility is not great, but just in case, Master Cao also asked the emperor to issue a special edict to the Beiyan mission, so that these Beiyan people can gather together for us to observe."

"Master Xu, just make arrangements, and my time today is all yours." Now that he has agreed, Xue Chang said simply.

"Master Xue is really refreshing!" Xu Zhen said with a smile on his face, "But you don't need to be too tired today, just go to a few places to see if there is a figure you feel familiar with. Even if you really find him, We are not going to arrest him now."

"Catch big fish with a long line?" Xue Chang's heart skipped a beat.

"Master Xue is wise!" Xu Zhen immediately praised him, and then said: "The Beiyan mission has been closely monitored by our Longwei. If this Beiyan spy has been lurking in the capital, how did they hide it?" What about our eyes and ears, what is sending and receiving news? If we don’t understand this matter, there may be troubles in the future.”

"Understood." Xue Chang nodded without asking further questions.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped in a remote alley in Luoyang Nanwai Guocheng.

Before getting out of the car, Xu Zhen said in a low voice: "Don't talk after Sect Master Xue enters the door, just make gestures, and let's talk when you have something to say."

Xue Chang nodded in understanding, and followed Xu Zhen out of the car.

Next to it was a tall courtyard wall with only a small door. Two black-clothed dragon guards stood at the door. When they saw Xu Zhen, they just clasped their fists and saluted without speaking.

Xu Zhen led Xue Chang in with big strides. Inside was also the courtyard wall and aisle. After walking for a long time, another small door appeared in front of him. Zhou Da and Sun Er stood at the door. The two also saluted silently, then lightly Gently pushed open the wooden door that was hidden behind him, and after Xu Zhen and Xue Chang entered, gently closed it again.

Inside was a small, dark room, empty without any items, except for two small holes on the front wall, through which two beams of light shined through.

Xu Zhen made several gestures, and Xue Chang immediately understood what he meant, moved his eyes to the small hole, and peeked in, and Kong Er also moved to another small hole.

On the other side of the wall was a spacious hall, in which sat two officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a eunuch, as if they were waiting for something.

After a while, people wearing Beiyan costumes entered the hall one after another. There were nine people in total, and the leader was Dongfang Xiong. Except for one person whose footsteps were flimsy, the rest of them walked steadily and their temples bulged. Obviously they all have martial arts.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the eunuch took out the imperial decree, and Dongfang Xiong immediately led the crowd to stand up to listen to the decree, which happened to be facing Xue Chang's direction, and asked him to take a closer look...

When the Beiyan Mission left the hall, Xue Chang's eyes also left the small hole in the wall, and the four of them walked out of the dark room silently and returned to the alley.

After Xu Zhen made a gesture, Xue Chang whispered, "I don't think any of those people were the spies that night."

"I think so too." Kong Er continued.

Not only was Xu Zhen not disappointed, but he frowned: "It seems that our judgment is correct. Since the Beiyan spy is not in the mission, it is much easier to arrest him." After finishing speaking, he greeted the three of them and got into the carriage. .

"Where are we going now?" Xue Chang asked curiously.

Xu Zhen signaled Zhou Dalai to explain.

Zhou Da said: "Master Xue, according to the information you provided last night, Mr. Xu led us to conduct a detailed analysis. Because most of the spies sent by Beiyan to the capital are Han Chinese from northern Hebei, they have a northern Hebei accent. Longwei has always been concerned about the people in the capital. The people in Kyoto have been poisoned by the northern barbarians, and they are also full of vigilance. If they find that their accent is abnormal, they will sometimes report it to the yamen. Therefore, if this Beiyan spy wants to stay in the capital for a long time At the same time, it can be relatively close to the building of Honglu Temple, so it is convenient to contact the Beiyan envoy. The residence he can choose is probably at the Luohe wharf or the few female branch courtyards along the Luohe River. There are mixed fish and dragons in these places. The yamen cannot be completely controlled, so it is convenient for him to hide.

In fact, considering that he is thin and fair-skinned, it is less likely that he will stay at the Luohe Wharf. Of course, he may also be the accountant, and he does not have to work hard at the wharf, so we specially notified the helmsman of the Yellow River Water Gang at the Luohe Wharf .After a while, the second child will go to the pier, with the help of the Yellow River Water Gang, to see if he can find anything.And head Xue, you have to talk to our women's branch, this is the object of our main suspicion. "

"Go to the women's branch..." Xue Chang didn't feel excited when he heard this. After all, he has an elegant and refined fiancée Luo Lanmeng, a heroic confidant Ye Ziqiong, and he also rides in the same car with the beautiful and beautiful Gu Shijing After a few days, how could he be interested in the vulgar fans of the Red Mansion, but in his previous life, he had only seen the Women's Branch on TV, and he was a little curious: what would the real Girl's Branch be like?
"Master Xue, we have to meet someone before going to the Women's Branch," Xu Zhen said.

"Who?"

"The owner of the embroidery building is Hua Qingjin."

Said to see, but actually sat and waited.

Wearing casual clothes, Xu Zhen took Xue Chang and Zhou Da to a tea house on the north bank of the Luohe River, and drank tea leisurely in a box.

"Tap, tap, tap." There was a light knock on the door.

"Come in." Xu Zhen didn't ask who it was, and let him in.

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and a woman walked in gracefully. She had picturesque eyebrows and graceful manners. She swept the room with her beautiful eyes, then leaned over and gave Xu Zhen a blessing, and said in a soft voice: "See you Xu grown ups!"

"Long time no see, Master Hua." Xu Zhen didn't hold back, but stood up, clasped his fists in return, and then pointed to Xue Chang next to him and said, "I believe you must recognize this one."

"How can the little girl not know Head Xue!" Hua Qingjin's pretty face was full of smiles, and her eyes showed admiration: "In the palace square these days, Head Xue is the focus of all martial arts people's attention , the little girl admires the head of Xue very much! I'm afraid that the head of Xue may not think of the little girl."

This woman spoke so directly and boldly, which surprised Xue Chang. He clasped his fists in salute, and said haha: "Lord Hua is joking, but I saw Lou Lou with a dagger in one hand and an embroidery needle in the other in the palace square, defeating many opponents. It is also majestic."

What Xue Chang said was the truth. Hua Qingjin's martial arts were quite special, which had attracted his attention, but he did not expect that the majestic host of the embroidery building in the square had a completely different temperament at the moment, as if he had changed his personality. .

After hearing Xue Chang's words, Hua Qingjin immediately expressed surprise: "Oh, Master Xue still pays attention to the little girl?! The little girl thought that your eyes were always on the body of the Goddess Palace Master Gu! You don't know She was so ruthless when I competed with her yesterday, I let her go, and she kept slashing with her sword, look at me..."

As Hua Qingjin said, she was about to lift up her sleeves and expose her shoulders.

"Okay, Mr. Hua, we are here to do some important things today!" Xu Zhen reminded.

'This is also very important. "Hua Qingjin said something resolutely, then sat down next to Xue Chang, still smiling and said: "Master Xue, what's so good about Gu Shijing, she is over 40 years old, and the little girl is younger than her too much……"

Xue Chang came from a previous life, and thought he was fairly open-minded and bold, but now he couldn't take it anymore, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Lord Hua, how are things going?" Xu Zhen asked quickly.

"Six brothels, two government-run and four private, have all been prepared and are waiting for you, Mr. Xu, to inspect." Hua Qingjin's words were still teasing.

"Okay, let's go now." Xu Zhen said, standing up.

"Go now? Don't talk for a while." Hua Qingjin complained, but followed Xu Zhen out of the room.

Long Wei went to investigate the Women's Branch, but needed the owner of the Embroidery Building to arrange it? ... Xue Chang was a little dazed, he suddenly remembered the rumors about the relationship between Xiuhualou and Longwei that had been circulating in the rivers and lakes.

Xu Zhen and Hua Qingjin didn't take the initiative to explain, and of course Xue Chang wouldn't be so stupid as to take the initiative to ask. Everyone will understand in their hearts and rush to a women's hospital by the Luohe River——Moon Shadow Pavilion.

There was no such grand scene as Xue Chang had envisioned, such as pushing the door open and welcoming people with red sleeves everywhere. They also disguised themselves and entered quietly through the back door. They also entered a secret room where they could peek out at the situation in the lobby of the Moon Shadow Pavilion.

At this time, the bustards, stewards, thugs, accountants, big teapots, girls of Yueying Pavilion gathered in the lobby of the pavilion, and the voices of Yingying and Yanyan filled it, but it didn't make people feel noisy.

After a while, the Yamen's patrol came in with a few arresters, announcing in public: Last night, two wealthy businessmen on the banks of the Luo River were robbed, not only lost a lot of property, but also injured a few people. These vicious incidents alarmed the court. , the magistrate asked to solve the case as soon as possible, so he brought people here to ask, during this period of time, is there any suspicious person haunting Moon Shadow Pavilion?If someone provides a favorable clue, there will be a big reward!
When Xue Chang heard this, he knew that it must be Long Wei's handwriting. Xu Zhen and the others left the Goddess Palace last night at Haishi, and they were able to lock the area in a short time and quickly make relevant arrangements. The agency's ability to act is astounding.

The hall suddenly became noisy with your words and my words, and the policeman took the opportunity to say: He wants to ask one by one, and also keep a record, so that if he really catches the thief in the future, he can have proof when rewarding.

So, the table was set, the pens and ink were served, and everyone lined up, and they came forward to be questioned one by one, and the place of questioning was not far from the secret room, so that Xue Chang could listen to the voice, observe the figure and demeanor.
