The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is the mystery of Cthulhu Chapter 438

Li Fan knocked on the door,

"Hi, Mr. Wen, are you busy?"

"...Li, Mr. Li? How...is it such a coincidence?"

"Haha, I passed by your house by chance, and I happened to have something that I wanted to find out in private with you. Isn't it convenient now?"

"Ah... look at this, it's convenient to be dismissed from the official position... so it's not very convenient. It's better to go to the Yamen another day..."

"Hey, it's inconvenient for people in the government office to talk nonsense. I think it's more convenient here. There's no one to monitor you in a place like this, right? It's okay. You can continue to do it. I don't mind."

"Ah, but I...sigh...yes, yes, you said, you said..."

Wen Zhang also had a big head. This six-door house was so unscrupulous. He came to block people in the toilet, so he had to squat in the pit to agree.

Hearing his compromise, Li Fan, who was just across the door, nodded and said,

"Okay, let me tell you straight. In the past two days, Mr. Wen must have heard about the closure of Hepingfang by the Mozhushan Discipline Academy, right?"

"Yes, yes, I heard it."

"Okay, Mr. Wen has been sitting in the capital for many years. I guess this situation in Hepingfang cannot be hidden from your eyes, right? Haha, you don't care about that kind of thing. You probably know who is behind the scenes. Bar?

Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you, I just want to ask, what do you think of the man in Taiping Temple secretly colluding with the devil to support the Black Lotus Sect? "

On the other side of the door, Wen Zhang squatted for a while and then said softly,

"I wonder which side Mr. Li is helping?"

Li Fan smiled, knowing that these smart people would not let the hawk know the rabbit, so he took out a piece of mutton-fat jade from his arms, stuffed it under the door and gave it to the other party to take a look.

"Do you recognize it?"

"This! Hiss... you are really a Sanyuan person..."

Huh? You guy actually recognizes the token given by Tai Fu? That’s incredible. To be honest, did you dream of going to Yuntai Peak when you were a kid?

But now is not the time to interrupt, Li Fan accepted Yu Jue and said,

"Of course, didn't I tell you this as soon as I came up? I was sent by Sanyuan to capture the Immortal Thief. Ting Wei is on the run and wants to commit the Nangong Seven Thieves! Your Excellency is in charge of Gyeonggi, you must have heard of it, right?

Did you know that the eunuch Cen Hun in Taiping Temple, the eunuch with white eyebrows, is actually a remnant of the Nangong rebels! Taipingguan even dares to take in such a rebel, it is obviously plotting to rebel! The nine tribes should be implicated! Confiscating the house and beheading! Cut off the market! "

Li Fan heard that Wen Zhang was frightened, so he softened his tone and said,

"But, these are Liguo's internal affairs and have nothing to do with me, a six-door policeman. And thanks to Mr. Wen's guidance this time, I was able to catch the heel of these remnants of rebels and fight with them for a few times. , it's a pity that these thieves escaped.

So this is not it. I am here to ask you to point me out again. Where should I go to catch these immortal thieves? "

What Li Fan was saying was actually really asking for advice sincerely. After all, those guys escaped so decisively and neatly, and they obviously had a retreat plan in place. The pharmacy in Hepingfang was cleared out. Not to mention the corpses, the Discipline Academy didn't even find any medical waste...

Naturally, the line at Taipingguan was also broken. The white-browed eunuch, Sixteen, 'Cen Hun', whoever he was, has naturally disappeared after his identity was revealed this time, and he probably won't show up with that face again.

Even if Li Fan hacked into Taiping Temple at the main entrance, caught all the steamed and shrimp dumplings, interrogated them one by one, dug three feet into the ground, and searched everything, it would probably be difficult to find any reliable clues about the group of immortal thieves. Li Fan was still hesitating whether to play a long game to catch the big fish or go straight in to search for souls, for fear that he would not be able to catch any clues if he tried to scare the snake.

However, he thought about it carefully and found that although the clues about 'Cen Hun' were broken, the other nine faceless immortal thieves were not sure yet. Since they have been operating openly and openly in Changsi City in the past few years, conducting drug experiments on the poor, they must have a clear identity and official records to facilitate their work.

And the Wen Zhang who is now in charge of the public security in Changsi City is not just a idle man. He must have found out some behind-the-scenes information to know how deep the water is and let these people do nothing.

So Li Fan took the chance of the cruel official getting up at night and caught him.

But don't mention it, everyone in the Wen Mansion, from the concierge servants who watch the door to the house slaves who are the guards, has a divine body. The defense is much tighter than the Sili Xiaowei Yamen. It seems that this guy has secretly raised a large number of dead soldiers to secure his current position. Although in Li Fan's opinion, this strength is of no use other than bullying ordinary people.

Probably when people are forced into poverty, they will develop quick wits. Wen Zhang did not want the headline on the front page of Changsi City the next day to be, 'Breaking! Three unique seats in Gyeonggi! Sitting alone at home! The pot comes from heaven! He slipped and fell into the toilet and drowned! ’ and other scary titles, so he really quickly thought of some useful information.

"White eyebrows...ah! Yes, yes, yes! Outside Changsi City, there is a nun named Xuanji Layman in Xianyi Temple!"

Li Fan raised his eyebrows curiously, "Xian Yiguan? Xuanji layman? I've never heard of it. Is it from Mozhu Mountain? What realm is it? Why are her eyebrows also white?"

Wen Zhang swallowed his saliva and said, "This person is a well-known talented woman in Gyeonggi Province. She has a beautiful heart and beautiful scenery. She was originally born into a wealthy family. Unfortunately, she has a well-matched fiancé who is married on the fingertips. He is so promising. She won the first prize in the exam and was chosen by a wealthy family to marry into her family.

Although she considered her husband's future and committed herself to being a concubine, she was jealous of her husband because of her talent and beauty, so she was framed and almost lynched to death. She was also forced out of the house and became a monk in Xianyi Temple in the suburbs.

Because her soft-hearted husband was afraid of the main wife, and did not dare to offend the family, he only thought that she was dead. This layman Xuanji was also heartbroken, and gradually became more and more dissolute. Guests who went to Xianyi Temple to offer incense and gifts would have learned this. He is a well-spoken and talented person, and if she appreciates and admires him, he will not only be able to get tea and wine to soothe his throat, but if he is lucky, he will also be able to spend the night with her. "

Li Fan couldn't help but laugh at him, "Master Wen knows so well, could it be that you have also shown your talents a few times?"

Wen Zhang, "Ahem! Master Li, don't be joking. To be a guest of this mysterious layman, one must not only be a scholar with real talent and learning, or a distinguished official with talent and reputation."

Those who can go to her Xianyi Temple to drink tea and write poems on a daily basis are all intellectuals in the Gyeonggi circle. The atmosphere is noble and elegant, not as vulgar as those in Xishi. You can’t just go if you want to. "

Li Fan understands, it's a private club.

"I know, I know, after all, she is a celebrity in the literary and art world. What, what is the connection between this person and Taipingguan? Is it because of business overlap?"

Wen Zhang said, "The people in Xianyiguan's circle, up to and including casual officials such as ministers, cannot be compared with Taipingguan. The lower officials did not find out that there was any powerful backer behind her. At first, they thought it was because of this." At best, women are just celebrities in a small circle of literati who praise themselves.

Therefore, in the past two years, someone reported that the layman Xuanji had lynched and killed his slaves and hid the corpses in the temple, so the lower officials took action according to the law. Alas, to be honest, the police did not find the body. But this matter was actually arranged and entrusted by the principal wife. She probably heard that the layman Xuanji was expelled from the capital and was still alive and well, so she wanted her dead. Therefore, although she could not find the body, she found the deceased's bloody clothes and the confessions of other witnesses. Finally, she was suspicious. She probably used some secret magic to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces. Therefore, I intend to deal with it in accordance with the law and put Xuanji in prison for questioning and execution as a warning to others.

But when you mentioned the white-browed waiter Cen Hun, the official remembered it.

At that time, it was Cen Hun of Taipingguan who came forward to take Master Xuanji away from the prison and saved his life. Not only that, Cen Hun also helped her settle the case, and the Xuanji layman's husband's family also issued a letter of divorce, which meant that he and her had settled all their past debts and had no more grudges.

Moreover, after that, the layman Xuanji did not go to Taiping Temple. Instead, he continued to practice in Xianyi Temple outside the city, continued to make friends with officials, and had fun with scholars. As usual, his reputation was even greater.

Because at that time, many of her subordinates came to me to plead for mercy, so everyone in the world just thought that some adult came forward to persuade me, but no one knew that she was able to escape only because of Taipingguan. relationship, so if you want to hunt down the remnants of the Immortal Thieves, you might be able to start with this person. "

When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, "When you put it like that, this person is really suspected of colluding with the immortal thieves. There are a lot of steamed dumplings in the Taiping Temple, ahem, and there are many women's crowns, and the eunuch doesn't like them either. Which, but it's not like he just wants to make a good relationship and get her to join the gang...

Mr. Wen, you might as well speak more clearly, so as not to make another mistake this time and let the thief escape again, wasting a clue, and I can't bear to come back to trouble you again. "

Wen Zhang sighed, but thinking about it, he was silently blocked in the toilet, could he still escape? So I had to explain everything.

"Master Li, do you know where to start when looking for someone?"

"Huh? Are you still testing me?" Li Fan was a little impatient and his voice rose an octave.

"No, no, what I mean is that if you want to find a person or investigate a case, you must first find his money."

Wen Zhang didn't dare to titillate people's appetite anymore, so he quickly confided,

"Everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit, and the world is bustling for the sake of profit. When I first investigated this case, I noticed that there was a discrepancy between the expenditure and income of Xianyi Temple, the daily expenses were wrong, and the things in the temple The tea utensils, food and clothing are extremely luxurious, and they are all from the top class of royal relatives. But in fact, there is not that much gold and silver, do you think it is strange or not."

Li Fan couldn't help but interrupt, "What's the point? Isn't this tone normal for someone speaking in a high-end club? She is also the number one internet celebrity in Liguo's literary and art circles, so she must be rewarded by a financial sponsor. Maybe she can make money in a day He has two million yuan!"

Wen Zhang sighed, "Master Li, who is going to offer incense to fulfill a wish, carry so much gold and silver with him, and donate a million dollars in one go? Then Xian Yiguan is not a serious cultivating sect, and there is no Xuanji layman around him. With expert protection, if you have so much money in your hands, aren't you afraid of being targeted by bad guys? What's more, it's just for a woman, is it necessary to spend so much money? "

That's not necessarily the case. There are many wonders in the world.

"Then what do you mean..."

Wen Zhang couldn't help but entered the case-solving mode again, "According to my observation and inference, those literati and dignitaries who came to and from Xianyi Temple were not just to have trysts with Xuanji laymen, but mainly to recite poems and paint. "

Li Fan, "...Huh? Did you say the opposite?"

"Exactly! I also find it very strange. If there are just ordinary women with some talents and good looks, and they have one or two mistresses who are in love with each other, it would be normal for them to get together every three or five days. But you can see that at night, there is a lot of traffic. , the flow is endless! Is it possible that the layman Xuanji is so powerful that he still stays up all night and plays and sings day and night? This is too outrageous!

Therefore, based on the case, I also inquired in many ways and found out that in fact, many talented and romantic scholars were deliberately attracted and flattered by Xuanji layman. They appreciated their talents and knowledge, and she was also able to chat with them, so they regarded her more and more as a Confidante, they can't stop. Whenever they get together, they talk about poems and songs, mostly write poems and paintings. Only when the love is deep and can't extricate themselves will they be happy.

As for those distinguished lords, they were not necessarily there for the Xuanji layman, but they paid a high price to buy those poetry and painting scrolls from her.

When I checked here, I thought she was working as a broker, helping those scholars to join the officialdom through the path of powerful people, but it didn't look like it later. Because there are no people from poor families, it seems that those who get promoted are really just accompanying their confidante, occasionally helping her to become famous, and bragging about her poems and paintings.

So if my guess is correct, there should be someone who deliberately mingled among dignitaries and scholars, and transferred large sums of money out of Xianyi Temple through buying and selling calligraphy and paintings..."

Li Fan didn't understand for a moment, "Wait a minute, you just said that if you spend a lot of money, you will attract the attention of bad people, right?"

Wen Zhang chuckled and said, "The wealth in this world is not just gold and silver. I heard that in recent years, Taipingguan has also snapped up a lot of land deeds. If it is true to my reasoning, someone may have exchanged cash for land deeds." , these land deeds are just like the immortal tickets in Mozhu Mountain today. They are hard currencies that continue to appreciate when private money is flooding in! By selling these land deeds, you can easily exchange large amounts of food, population and wealth with the wealthy and powerful people in Liguo. land……"

Li Fan understood Wen Zhang's meaning, "You mean, it's not Taipingguan who is colluding with Nangong's immortal thieves, but those immortal thieves who are transferring the property accumulated by Taipingguan?"

Wen Zhang sighed, "I'm not trying to excuse Princess Li, but the princess has been running the Taiping Temple for the clan for many years and has accumulated a lot of money for Li. If she hadn't been assassinated suddenly and couldn't be a director for many years, maybe Li Guo's national government has not been corrupted to the extent it is today by those eunuchs who deceived the Lord, right?

It's a pity that the lower officials have limited abilities and humble positions, so they can only use severe punishments to maintain the court's superficial prestige and cover it up for a while. But sooner or later, someone will surely see through that the roots of the big tree in Liguo have become rotten, and the building is about to collapse..."

Humph, this is when the rabbit's death begins and the fox's sorrow begins, but who lets you moths grab it without restraint and cut off its roots?

"Okay, thank you Mr. Wen for your suggestion. I understand. It's convenient not to disturb you!"

Li Fancai was too lazy to accompany Wen Zhang in the toilet and sighed. As soon as he heard what was going on, he immediately left Wen's house and rushed to Xianyi Temple.

Sure enough, when Li Fan arrived, the place was already deserted.

Not only was there no trace of the Xuanji layman, there were no maids, Taoist priests, or visitors, not even a sign of a mouse.

Obviously, these fairy thieves will not forget to take away all the relevant people who transferred the assets!

But it doesn't matter!

The biggest fear is not knowing. Once you know, you won’t be afraid anymore!

Now that we know that the running water passes through the Xianyiguan line, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net can definitely trace its whereabouts!

Even if those immortal thieves clean up their hands thoroughly, even if they kill all the people involved in this matter, including Xuanji layman led by Xuanji layman, Xianyi inside and outside, it is impossible to completely clean up the traces.

Because of Taipingguan’s funds, Changsi City’s land deed, and Xianyiguan’s calligraphy and painting, this causal transaction link has been created, and the calculations and divination will definitely come out!

Even if Li Fan can't figure it out, can't the viewer still figure it out? Could it be that Xuantian still can't figure it out?

Calculate! Leave it to me!

Those fairy thieves can escape to the ends of the earth. They have done so many things, but the money and assets they have obtained cannot escape.

As long as they take out the land deeds for trading and use, traces will definitely be exposed and they can all be caught!

Of course, to be on the safe side, Li Fan still had to rummage through the cabinets and search them again.

So he casually took out Si Nan... Huh? Is there really anything that hasn't been taken away?

Li Fan followed Simon's direction and found a flower bed in the inner courtyard of Xianyi Temple.

Li Fan could vaguely see that the earth color of this flower bed was different from the surroundings. So he stretched out his hand to dig up the soil, dug for a while, and dug out a wooden box with a scroll hidden inside.

Is it a scroll used for trading? What kind of thing can be worth several square meters of houses in the capital... is it an erotic palace or something?

So Li Fan opened the scroll and took a look, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable...

In the scroll, half of a woman is rotting, and the other half has grown into a willow tree. There are huge blowflies flying around, which makes it look particularly smelly...

Then Li Fan touched his nose and found that nosebleeds had flowed out and wet his clothes.

Fucked.

It is "Yuan Ji."

Probably, all the 'picture scrolls' that have been circulated are "Yuanshi!"
