The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 176 I know, you are a reborn! (Seven thousand words please subscribe)
"what?"

The sky is smudged with red clouds, and every weeping willow in Laoliu Street is covered with golden red clouds.

The three of them were obviously startled when they heard this sentence, and a series of question marks floated above their heads.

Seeing this, Honggu hurriedly described what happened:
"In the afternoon, a group of officers and soldiers came here to look for Mr. Li, but because the shop was closed, they stayed here and waited... After the husband came back, he said that he was involved in a case and took him away. "

The description ability of common people in the market is mediocre, and they only stumbling to finish describing the general situation.

The three of Yu Yu were at a loss at first, and then noticed a key word:

"You said they were officers and soldiers? Not officials?" Huang He's face changed slightly, and he asked in confirmation.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop next to him also came over, nodded sharply, and gestured with his hands:

"It's an officer and soldier, wearing that kind of armor, with a knife on his waist..."

Hearing the definite answer, even Yu Yu's expression changed.

At first, when they heard that Ji Pingan was arrested by the government to inquire about the case, they thought it was about several cases in the city.

After all, Ji Ping'an was secretly investigating, and it's not surprising for people to find any clues left during the period.

But hearing it is "officer and soldier"...the meaning is completely different.

You must know that the military mansion and the government office of Dazhou are two completely different systems, ordinary cases are handled by the police of the government office, and those involving practitioners are within the jurisdiction of the demon slayer.

As for the officers and soldiers of the military government, it is extremely troublesome to mobilize, let alone go to the city to arrest people?

This in itself means that the "case" Ji Ping'an was involved in is not unusual, and may not even be a real reason.

"Where did they go?"

Huang He hurriedly asked, but how could a group of people make sense, they only pointed in one direction, and in the end Dongfang Ling, a woman in a sarong and iron hairpin in the crowd, said:
"Perhaps he went to the government prison."

Seeing everyone watching, she added: "The group of people passed by Niping Lane when they left, and it seems that someone mentioned something. I don't know for sure."

In fact, it was Fang Ling who secretly followed a group of officers and soldiers to determine the location.But after all, she's just a quack girl, and she doesn't dare to get too close.

Prison...

Mu Yaoyao panicked when she heard this word, her fair face turned pale:

"Then what should we do...how about we go to the yamen..."

She wanted to say that being able to reveal the true identities of herself and others, as "Qin Tianjian" Si Chen, would be enough to solve some problems.

Huang He hurriedly pulled the two of them aside, avoiding the neighbors, and said, "Keep your voice down."

"Hmm." Mu Yaoyao suddenly raised her two white and tender hands, covered her mouth, and wronged Bala:

"I'm worried."

Yu Yu raised her brows, anger welled up, and raised her jaw slightly, saying:
"I'll go to Sanqing Temple to find someone!"

As the saint of the state religion, she couldn't bear this grievance. How dare a group of big soldiers touch her people?Is it true that the saint is not a big shot?
However, as soon as she left, Huang He raised her hand and grabbed her, and said helplessly:
"Calm down, I think there is something else hidden about this matter."

Seeing what the two looked like, Huang He explained:
"My son is a star official, and he is a cultivator of Posi. If he wants to leave, can those officers and soldiers stop him? Even if he doesn't want to expose his identity in public, so he leaves with him temporarily, but if he wants to, he can come up with it at any time." Warrant, proof of identity."

Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be the reason, so he couldn't help asking:
"What do you mean?"

Huang He pondered for a while, organized the language and said:
"I'm worried, the young master has other arrangements for this matter. Didn't I hear that the young master was not there when the officers and soldiers came? Where did he go? Maybe some plans were involved. Wouldn't it be bad if we rashly exposed our identities and messed up the plan? ?”

This...Yu Yu and Mu Yaoyao looked at each other, and the two girls who were not very smart suddenly felt that it made sense.

With Ji Ping'an's mind compared to Lao Yin's attributes, it seems that they really don't need to worry about it.

But as a saint, Yu Yu has her own arrogance, and she doesn't want to be persuaded by Huang He's words. Doesn't that make her impulsive?Then he hummed and said:
"What if there is an accident? Although he is broken four, what if he is injured? Don't underestimate the background of the court, but a leader who kills demons can stably kill him, and even the magistrate of Yuhang, as long as he uses the official seal , Pulling the mountains and rivers, asking the 'Wu Temple' to dispatch, can also suppress him, not to mention the means of the military government."

Huang He nodded and said:
"So, we can neither act impulsively, nor be unresponsive. My idea is to inquire about the news first, and then make a judgment."

Yu Yu thought it made sense, so he pretended to be thinking, and after a while, reluctantly nodded, and said reservedly:

"Although it's not perfect, let's try to be like this first."

Mu Yaoyao hurriedly circled around, urging:
"Then let's go quickly."

At this moment, suddenly at the intersection of Laoliu Street, a carriage stopped slowly.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the head of the "Xishan Academy" wearing a Confucian gown and holding a jar of wine in his arms came out, looked into the street in surprise, and asked the three people:

"May I ask if Mr. Li from Yijingzhai is here?"

The three of them turned their heads to look at the scholar in a "swipe" manner, and Akiyama's hairs were horrified.

Someone is here again?

Huang He's heart moved, he cupped his hands and asked:

"May I ask what the old gentleman is looking for in Yijingzhai?"

Akiyama hesitated for a while, and felt that what the master told him was not a secret, so he calmly explained the matter roughly.

Ji Pingan went out and went to Xishan Academy to investigate the case with the head of the Demon Killing Division?Also went to meet the legendary figure named "Qi" in Yuhang?

The three of them froze for a moment, their eyes became strange, Huang Heqing coughed, and told about Ji Ping'an's arrest and the fact that the three of them belonged to the same family, and said:

"From this point of view, it may be related to the case. We are going to the government prison to inquire about the news. Will the old man go with us?"

Akiyama turned pale with shock, he didn't know what happened, but he could let his master thank him, the person who appreciated him, let alone the case involving Xishan, he shouldn't just stand by and sternly said:

"That should be the case. The three of you are welcome to get in the car and go together to inquire about the situation."

……

Pei House.

A gust of wind blows, and the white lanterns and silk ribbons hanging from the lintel flutter.

The atmosphere in Pei's mansion these days is not right.

At first, it was because of the eldest son's death, but not long after, Qi Hongmian, the current master of the Beast Sect and the legendary top powerhouse in Kyushu, arrived.

He also claimed that the girl "Mochou" in his family was an unborn genius, and asked to be admitted to the sect to practice.

Pei's astonishment gave birth to a dreamlike thought:
One must know that the number one clan in Yuhang is quite powerful in the mortal world, but how can it be compared with the Yushouzong?
To be favored by Qi Hongmian and accept her personally, if you want to compare it, it is no different from a woman from the Pei family being selected as a noble concubine, so it is naturally worth celebrating.

Although Mistress Pei felt strange in her heart, she dared not refuse, and called "Mo Chou", who readily agreed, quickly packed up her things and bid farewell to everyone, and left with Qi Hongmian.

Come fast, get faster.

As an aunt, Li Xiangjun's orphaned niece leaps over the branches, and the pheasant turns into a phoenix.

She also took this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Beast Master Sect, and the crisis of seizing power of the other second and third rooms suddenly dissipated.

For a moment, sorrow and joy were intertwined, and I wanted to throw wine to celebrate, but my son just died... I was very stiff.

And Pei Qiuwei focused more on Ji Ping'an, and discussed this matter with his mother in private:
"Mr. Li Anping went looking for Mo Chou, but he didn't return that night, and I sent someone to visit, and Mr. Li didn't go back to Laoliu Street that night. But by coincidence, Master Qi came the next day. How can there be such a coincidence? "

Pei Qiuwei's tone was connotative.

Li Xiangjun froze for a moment, his eyes lit up:
"Good girl, do you mean that Mr. Li is the 'agent' of the Beast Sect in Yuhang City? He noticed Mo Chou's specialness and recommended him to the sect?"

Pei Qiuwei said uncertainly:
"I don't know, but based on the current information, this is indeed the greatest possibility."

For a moment, the mother and daughter Hua who had figured out the "truth" in their brains had mixed feelings, only to feel that many doubts in the past suddenly became clear.

He became more and more determined to establish a good relationship with Ji Ping'an, so Mrs. Pei also bribed people near Laoliu Street to help keep an eye on Yijingzhai.

Therefore, when Ji Ping'an was taken away, news of him was quickly sent back to Pei's residence.

In the flower hall.

Wearing a black gauze dress, without any makeup, but with an excellent charm, Mistress Pei sat at the table and looked through the accounts of the house——as the mistress, she was in charge of a big family, and she had to review big and small things every day.

The gentle, sweet and hidden Pei Qiuwei waited aside, obediently waiting for his mother to ask——

She takes care of some affairs in the mansion.

It's quite Wang Xifeng's meaning...

However, at this time, suddenly a servant outside rushed into the courtyard out of breath:
"Madam... miss, something happened!"

Swipe—the two mother and daughter turned their heads and looked at the person coming, frowning slightly, Pei Qiuwei scolded: "Why are you so flustered."

The famous family member Ding rushed to the outside of the hall, braked suddenly, and hurriedly said:
"Yijingzhai...Mr. Li...by officers and soldiers..."

He stumbled and narrated the matter.After hearing this, the faces of Pei's mother and daughter changed at the same time, and Li Xiangjun got up abruptly, and walked forward a few steps, with a dignified expression:

"Is this true?!"

The servant hurriedly said: "Ma'am, the servants saw it with their own eyes. Now they are being taken to the government prison."

Officers and soldiers... Prison... Li Xiangjun clenched his plain hands under his wide sleeves, and began to think.

Pei Qiuwei looked at her: "Mother, do you want to inform father? Or send someone to the government office to inquire about the situation?"

Li Xiangjun shook his head. At this moment, the beautiful woman showed the calmness and decisiveness of the mistress:

"Your father's injury has not recovered, so don't disturb it easily. But Mr. Li is in prison, and the prison is not a place for people to stay, let alone being detained by a group of insignificant Qiuba. bitter."

Having said that, the plump and beautiful woman ordered categorically:

"Prepare the car, I'll go see the prefect in person!"

Not only does Ji Pingan have some secret relationship with the old Patriarch, but he is also suspected to be the agent of the Beast Sect. Mo Chou has just left again, and Li Xiangjun must express his position to save people.

Pei Qiuwei bit her lip and said worriedly:

"Mom, I'll go with you!"

……

In the city, the entrance of a mansion with a good location and pleasant scenery.

A carriage stopped slowly, and the curtain was raised, revealing a face with bright features and a glamorous temperament.

"Elder Luan, we're here."

The driver, the servant in plain robes said respectfully.

Luan Yu said "En", stepped out of the carriage, and the gold medals on her waist collided with each other, making a "jingle" sound.

Raising her hand and pushing open the door, a mature female monk wearing a robe with the logo of the elder of the Emperor Beast Sect, with a towering chest, walked around the screen wall and walked through the front yard gracefully.

Then he saw a gigantic giant bear covered in pure white hair meditating in the courtyard, swallowing essence, surrounded by illusory flames.

Beside the giant bear, there was also a girl who was no more than ten years old meditating cross-legged, her eyes were on her nose, her nose was on her heart, and her expression was focused.

The corners of Luan Yu's mouth raised inadvertently, and she stood aside and waited quietly.

But Zhao Yuanyang, who was immersed in his practice, seemed to be aware of it. He opened his eyelids suddenly, and his face was carved with powder and jade, with a little baby fat. He was startled at first, and then smiled:
"Aunt Luan! Why are you here!"

Like a little adult, Zhao Yuanyang, who does not pretend to talk to outsiders, only has good looks towards two people, one is Luan Yu and the other is Ji Pingan.

At this moment, the little girl got up, opened her arms, swooped into Luan Yu's arms, buried her face, and sucked heavily.

Luan Yu smiled and said:
"The city of Yuhang has not been peaceful recently. The master is worried that the 'agent' is not strong enough, and even more worried about your safety, so he sent me to guard Yuhang personally."

This is true.

Luan Yu still set off before Qi Hongmian, and arrived by pet animal and bird, but arrived after Qi Hongmian had left.

It can only be said that at the speed of the fire phoenix, it is true that the dimensionality reduction has been hit...

Zhao Yuanyang was quite excited, and pulled her to share information about Ji Ping'an's recommendation of Pei's "Mo Chou".

Luan Yu was very surprised when she heard this, she happened to miss this event, and when she heard that the previous master had returned, she suddenly felt that the matter was serious, and she was very annoyed, she frowned and said:

"Where is Ji Pingan?"

She wanted to inquire in person to get more details.

Zhao Yuanyang blinked and was thinking about whether to use this news in exchange for some "benefits". Suddenly, a disciple of the Beast Master Sect rushed to the door and said:

"Senior Sister Yuanyang, something is wrong, the agent sent back a message that Yijingzhai was raided by the court officers and soldiers... eh? Elder Luan!"

Luan Yu ignored the latter's astonished expression and asked anxiously:

"What is a quiet fast?"

When Zhao Yuanyang pulled her over and explained the whole story in a low voice, a strange color flashed across Luan Yumei's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled, but there was something inexplicable and unclear in her eyes:
"The end of the imperial court...it's interesting."

After thinking for a moment, she touched the little girl's head and said:
"You continue to practice, Aunt Luan goes to the government office to have a look."

How could she miss this excitement as the new "agent"?
……

……

The government prison is located in the northwest corner of the city, and it is an independent building.

The exterior is made of gray masonry, surrounded by a high wall to block the sun.

Around the surrounding area, idlers are not allowed to approach.

Many prisoners captured by the demon slayer will be detained here.

The dungeon is further divided into a "mortal" area and a "monk" area.

The latter's cell is engraved with formations, and all serious criminals are guarded with pierced lute bones.

Today, a group of armored soldiers holding the magistrate's order and the military's warrant came to the prison, and took over the original power of the government officials.

Boom!

In the dark and oppressive dungeon, an iron door opened with a bang, and a group of people walked out holding torches.

The leader is about fifty years old, wearing a military officer's robe, chain mail, a bright helmet, and a long sword with a magic weapon on his waist. Under the light, the armor shines brightly, and his jaw With protruding bones, deep-set eye sockets, and a cold face, it looks intimidating in the flickering dungeon corridor.

"Da da da."

The dungeon where practitioners are held is different from that of ordinary people. There are fewer people and it is quieter.

There is no howling, whipping, cursing, or pleading, and the air is disturbingly oppressive except for the rotten smell that has not seen the light all year round.

"General Sun, criminals are ahead."

A small flag officer leading the way pointed to a separate interrogation room at the corner ahead and said.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, "Zhonglang Jiang" also specifically referred to the military general who commanded the imperial guards of the emperor, and was the highest official position of the military general under the "General".

But four or five hundred years later, the "General Zhonglang" is no more than in the past, and most of them are the number one adjutants under the top leaders in the "military mansions" of the state capitals.

Half literate and half military, as for the word "General", it does not refer to official names, but is a respectful title for General Zhonglang.

"General Zhonglang" surnamed Sun squinted his eyes, looked at the front of his eyes, and said, "Is it the young divination master in the information?"

The little flag officer gave an "en" and explained: "When we arrested him, he was not in the shop, and he waited for a while before returning."

"Is there any resistance?"

"Never resisted, and even cooperated."

"Cooperate?"

"Yes, this person doesn't seem to be afraid. There was nothing unusual along the way. He even tried to chat with us, but he didn't show any characteristics of martial arts or cultivation."

"Heh, no abnormality is the biggest abnormality. If you are really an ordinary Jiang Hu person, how can you have no fear when facing officers and soldiers?"

"The general said so."

"Open the door."

After the conversation between the two ended, the little flag officer stepped forward, unlocked the door with a key, and then yanked open the heavy iron door.

In the sound of rattling... the door of the interrogation room opened, and Sun Xianzu stepped into it with a blank expression on his face.

But the moment he stepped into the cell, he gently tapped a jasper wrench on his thumb with the outstretched hand behind his back.

The interrogation room can be called "the four walls of a house", a small square space, no windows, only one table and two chairs, all fixed on the ground and integrated with the formation.

There was a lamp on the table, but it was not lit.Therefore, when the door was closed, it was pitch black. Sun Xianzu was no stranger to this kind of "black room", and knew that it was a way to aggravate the fear in the prisoners' hearts.

Anyone who is locked in a dark room for a long time will suffer a lot.

When you see the light when you open the door, you will stretch out your hands to cover your face in embarrassment, the whole person's spirit will be shocked, and the human dignity will be lost.

Even ordinary practitioners are not much better than ordinary people - this has nothing to do with cultivation, but with whether the mind is firm or not.

However, when Sun Xianzu stepped into the dark prison with a torch in his hand, the flames dispelled the darkness in front of him, and he was stunned.

The expected picture of the prisoner panicking or trying to calm down did not appear.

On a cold interrogation chair made of iron, a young man in a green robe sat quietly.

His sitting posture is not tense, and he can even be called "calm", as if he is not in a prison full of dangers, but resting in his study at home.

He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard movement, he slowly opened his eyes, and without dodging as expected, he suddenly saw the discomfort of the light.

He didn't even make any movements to cover up, and there was no panic on his face, or he pretended to be calm... His eyes were very bright, perhaps because of the reflection of the flames, Sun Xianzu even felt a little dazzling, which made him inexplicably flustered.

It seems that those calm eyes, even with a hint of interest of "as expected", carry some kind of power enough to see through people's hearts.

Even though he was wearing thick armor and a magic weapon to protect his body, he seemed to have been stripped naked. This young man could see through him, and there was no room for him to back down and cover it up.

This feeling was extremely weird, which made Sun Xianzu feel a strong sense of discomfort.

It's as if... In this interrogation room, I am the prisoner, and the other party is the interrogator who controls my own life and death.

Weird!

Sun Xianzu shook his head severely, and when he looked again, that feeling disappeared again.

The young heave master sitting in front of him was indeed extremely calm, but he seemed to have restrained his sharpness a little and became much "ordinary", as if the momentary feeling in his heart just now was just an illusion.

"There's something wrong with this hexagram master!" Sun Xianzu's heart trembled, but relying on the general's tenacious mind, he forcibly suppressed some signs of fear.

Take the initiative.

He stepped forward, Dama Jindao sat opposite Ji Pingan, and the little flag officer next to him lit the oil lamp on the table.

Then, without saying a word, they exited the interrogation room tacitly, and closed the cell door with a bang, as if they were not qualified to listen to the next conversation.

Seeing the door closed, Ji Ping'an's eyes became more and more strange.

"Are you the boss of Yijingzhai, Li Anping?" Sun Xianzu was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "It's me."

His smile was very relaxed, not forced out, but from the heart, he seemed to find this nonsense interrogation technique very interesting.

Sun Xianzu was unmoved, and continued according to the process:
"Very well. Do you know what this place is?"

Ji Pingan nodded:
"The Fuya dungeon, well, if you read it correctly, it should be the part where practitioners are detained."

Sun Xianzu said: "Oh, you don't hide it, so you recognize your monk?"

Ji Pingan said: "A person who asks divination and divination doesn't have a little bit of practice, wouldn't he become a charlatan?"

"What a sharp-toothed divination master," Sun Xianzu sneered, "Since he is a divination master, why didn't he count today's calamity?"

Ji Pingan said seriously: "Because I won't be in trouble today."

Sun Xianzu seemed to sneer, thinking that he was indeed a magic stick, and realized that the "illusion" he had just had was probably created by the other party deliberately, and the purpose was to save himself in this way...

Thinking of this, I became confident: "Do you know why you were arrested here today?"

Ji Pingan said: "The soldiers outside said that there is a case involving me and I need to cooperate with the investigation."

Sun Xianzu said: "Then do you know what the specific case is?"

Ji Pingan thought for a while, and suddenly sighed slightly distressed, and said:
"I've been involved in too many cases recently, and I really don't know what to do. I don't know which one you are talking about."

Sun Xianzu was startled, and asked suspiciously, "What case are you involved in?"

This was something that had not been mentioned in the information he had collected, and he suddenly felt a sense of surprise.

Ji Pingan recalled the state and said:

"Last month, I was responsible for the curse killing case in the city. I was also the one who spread the immortal record in the city... three months ago, I was also the murderer of the corpse floating in the Qinhuai River... half a year ago, the fire in the east city also caused I am concerned. I was still the mastermind behind the headless corpse case in Nancheng a year ago, and I was also responsible for the sudden death of Mr. Xu in Beicheng two years ago. As for the incident three years ago The serial murder case that shook Jiangnan..."

Sun Xianzu was still listening carefully at first, and his heart sank again and again, his pupils constricted, and he felt that this person was really dangerous. He was actually the most treacherous and evil person he had ever seen since he joined the army...

But gradually, he began to notice something was wrong and absurd. He raised his hand to interrupt the heave master who was talking about his crimes, and his face was ugly:

"Are you playing with this general?!"

Ji Pingan showed a surprised look, blinked, and said:
"It was discovered by you, hahaha..."

Amidst the laughter, Sun Xianzu's face suddenly turned into a liver color, and a wave of nameless anger surged crazily.

It made him wish to punch the handsome face in front of him, but he still forcibly endured it, spread five fingers, and slammed the cast iron table.

"boom!"

Amidst the roar, Sun Xianzu's armor was shaking. He stood up suddenly, leaning forward with his hands on the cast iron tabletop.

In the dim candlelight, his face hidden in the helmet was ashen and terrifying. His two dead fish-like eyes stared at Ji Pingan who was close at hand, and his voice was cold:

"I wasn't sure before, but now, I'm sure. You're the one we're looking for."

Ji Pingan showed a gentle and polite smile: "Who am I?"

Sun Xianzu stared at him, his voice was very low, but just enough for him to hear:

"I know, you are the one who came back from the dead!"

……

……

Fuya, inner hall!
The sun shines on the black roof from the western sky, and a number of "divine beasts" carved by skilled craftsmen crouch here, bathing in the sun, as if they are about to come alive.

Ye Hongling sat on the big chair, under her sword eyebrows, she stared at the middle-aged man with a slightly rich figure in a crimson official robe and black gauze on the big huanghuali chair opposite with her sharp eyes, and said:

"Master Zhifu, what are you hiding from me? Or, what is the court hiding from me?"

The magistrate of Yuhang was born as a literati, and his ancestral home was not in the south of the Yangtze River. He was appointed here by Emperor Yuanqing because he wanted to check and balance the gentry.

It's just that the family is powerful, so the magistrate has been working for a few years, but he really can't make any achievements.

The impression of the prefect of Yuhang to outsiders is also the image of a "mediocre official" who is fooling around. It is not bad, at least he will not be involved in big treacherous things, but it is not too good.

However, Ye Hongling knew very well that this "mediocre official" in front of him was not as incompetent as outsiders saw him, but a master of concealment.

After a few years of hard work, although nothing has been achieved, the power of the major gentry families in the south of the Yangtze River has been contained and has not grown any further.

There are no major conflicts in the rivers and lakes, the strength of the military government, and even the private chambers of commerce. It is not obvious that it does not leak water, which shows its ability.

However, at this time, facing Ye Hongling's pressing questions, the magistrate just sighed softly, and said helplessly:

"Master Yelan, don't be in a hurry, it's hot, drink tea first to get rid of the heat."
