high official

Chapter 373
"Report, it's not good!" A scout crawled over and said with a ghostly expression on his face: "Those White Lotus believers disappeared!"

"Nonsense." Zhou Qianhu scolded, "I surrounded Zhuangzi with two thousand soldiers and horses. Even if they had wings, they couldn't fly out!"

"It's true!" The scout said, "Just now, according to my lord's order, I informed them that the ship is ready, but I found that the stone building is empty!"

"What?" The faces of the adults turned green, how could it be like this!Do you want to play people alive?
Several adults hurried back to Zhuangzi, only to see that their own soldiers had finally occupied the stone building, but they couldn't feel any joy at this moment, because this wiped out their last sliver of luck!
The three of them went up to the stone building with dark faces, and sure enough, they saw that the white lotus monster had disappeared. They couldn't help staring, Zhou Qianhu rubbed his chin, and said, "It's evil, it's really evil, how did they do that?" escaped?"

"Could it be, demon law?" Feng Qianhu tremblingly said, just as a gust of wind blew past these words, several people couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly recited the Yuedi proverb: "Bah bah, nothing is taboo , Avoid all evil spirits!"

"Could it be that they really used demon methods?" Du Baihu regained his composure and said, "I would rather believe that there are secret ways."

"If there is a secret way, why didn't they leave early, what are they doing all this trouble?" Feng Qianhu said disapprovingly.

"Anyway, let's look for it." Du Baihu sighed and said, "If Demon Bailian really knows how to demonize, would we dare to sleep at night?"

"Yeah." This made a lot of sense, Zhou Qianhu ordered loudly: "Look, dig three feet into the ground, and find the secret passage!"

The characteristic of Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers since ancient times is that you let him go into battle to kill the enemy. He hides whenever he can, and refuses to work hard;Therefore, under the order of Master Qianhu, the soldiers immediately rolled up their sleeves and searched carefully.

Hard work pays off, after a meal, a soldier found a mechanism behind the shrine of the Stove Lord in the kitchen on the ground floor. After pressing the button hard, he heard a rattling sound, and the shrine and the back wall turned over. Come over, revealing a dark hole, blowing cold wind.

Looking at the entrance of the cave, Feng Zhouqianhu and Du Baihu's complexions were darker than the walls of this house... Grandma, I'm going to be tricked to death by these white lotus monsters!
"It hasn't been long since they went in. Let's divide up our troops to chase them, and we will definitely catch up with them!" Du Baihu shouted, bringing the two Qianhus back to their senses.

"Oh, yes, good!" The two agreed, and after a little discussion, they decided that Du Baihu would lead people down the tunnel, while the two Qianhu would lead people to cast a net to search the surrounding area.

The plan was decided, and the three of them split up and led their subordinates to act. Du Baihu led 500 people and went down the dark secret road, only to see the stone walls filled with glutinous rice.The more Du Baihu looked at it, the more frightened he became. He secretly thought that the strength of the Bailian Sect and the Ming Sect were unfathomable. Usually, he saw those who floated on the surface, and he couldn't count them.

After walking for a long time in the corridor, about two or three miles away, they finally reached the end. After groping for a long time with torches, they found a mechanism in the corner. After pressing it hard, the heavy stone door slowly opened, dazzling The bright light came in, making their eyes hurt. It turned out that it was already bright outside...

Du Baihu climbed out of the secret passage with his men, and found himself in a reed marsh, startled waterfowl circled above their heads, pattering down the bird droppings at one end of them.

"This stupid bird..." Du Baihu scolded, he didn't care to get angry with the bird, followed the scattered footprints on the ground, and hurriedly chased it out, and stopped after not too far, because they chased to the river.

"Could it be that they swam away?" Another hundred householders said, "Didn't you say that all northerners are landlubbers?"

Du Baihu cast a helpless glance at the idiot, and said in a muffled voice, "They left by boat."

"Where did they get the boat?" The hundred households said suddenly, "That's right, those who can dig such a secret passage, it's not a problem to have a boat ready."

Du Baihu felt that it was not that simple, at this time Zhou Qianhu also searched from the ground, and Du Baihu said in a deep voice: "Master Qianhu, quickly ask Lord Dusi to close all the water gates and send sailors to search the past vessel! "

"This, we need to follow the order of the procurator Zhou Jietai." The three divisions performed their duties, and this behavior was obviously beyond the bounds.

"This is Jin Yiwei's order! How about it compared with the inspector!" Du Baihu said in a panic, "Hurry up and save Mr. Qianhu, can you afford it?"

"Then, well..." Zhou Qianhu called out unlucky, and was about to report to Dusi himself, but when he turned his head, he saw a group of soldiers approaching, and he could tell from the look of their uniforms that they were soldiers from the standard yamen.The first official, wearing a crimson official gown, with a gray beard and hair, a thin figure, and a stern face, is not the famous cold-faced Han Tiegong Zhou Xin, who is it!
"It's Zhou Jietai!" Zhou Qianhu had always respected this family member, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he thought that he couldn't justify keeping him out last night.

"What are you doing in a daze, go!" Du Baihu shouted loudly.

"Alas..." Zhou Qianhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to meet Zhou Xin, immediately cupped his fists at Zhou Xin, and smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Xin also responded with a smile. Zhou Qianhu relaxed his mind and rode away. Zhou Xin ignored him and turned his eyes to Du Baihu who was opposite.

It's not that friends don't get together, Zhou Xin's body is full of scars given by Jin Yiwei, and he is still in pain. He looks at Du Baihu so coldly that Du Baihu shivered for no reason.

Du Baihu secretly scolded himself for being worthless, what am I afraid of him doing?He can't help me!Then he cupped his hands, and said in a rough voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Let you, thousands of households, speak..." Zhou Xin said coldly, as expected of a cold-faced iron, if you don't speak easily, you will hurt someone if you speak.You are not qualified to talk to me!

"Our thousand households," Du Baihu almost spat out his old blood, "we have gone after the suspect..."

"Then let me ask you, last night Xixi shot and set fire again," Zhou Xin asked in a cold voice, "You waited in every possible way to stop me from approaching, what is your intention?!"

"We are an imperial envoy, so we don't need to ask you for instructions!" Du Baihu said as if he were an imperial envoy.

"Bring it." Zhou Niantai stretched out his hand.

"What?" Du Baihu was taken aback.

"Since it's the emperor's envoy, show me the decree."

"Well, of course there is a decree, but there is no need to show it to you."

"According to the rule, if the imperial envoy handles the case in this province, he must be informed of the office," Zhou Xin said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by saying that there is no need to show it to me?"

"The decree is in the hands of our Qianhu, and we will show it to the adults later, is this the head office?" Du Baihu said helplessly.

"Hmph..." Zhou Xin then acquiesced to his statement, turned his horse's head and said, "I will see the decree at the latest in the afternoon, otherwise, you Qianhu adults, wait to be enlisted!" He said in a low voice He said: "Let's go!" He took the soldiers and horses of the Chasi and returned to the city in a mighty way.

"Huh..." Seeing him turn back, Du Baihu head heaved a sigh of relief. If this evil spirit finds out that Master Qianhu was captured by the White Lotus Sect, the whole world will definitely know about it.

Although he also knows that the hope of keeping this kind of thing hidden is very slim, even slimmer than the hope of Lord Qianhu's safe return, but until the time of despair, no one will give up hope, right?

.

The conversation was divided into two parts, Zhou Xin showed up in Xixi and went back to the city.There were officers and soldiers setting up checkpoints everywhere along the way, but seeing the cold face of the adults in Taiwan was covered with frost, none of them dared to step forward to touch the bad luck. Back to town.

Back in Hangzhou, Zhou Xin said to Qian Hu, the leader of the team: "Everyone is exhausted after tossing all night. There is no need to go back to the yamen. Let's disband and go home to rest."

The officers and soldiers were so eager for this, they cheered and scattered like birds and beasts.One of the officers and soldiers raised the fan yang cap on his head, revealing a slightly dark and handsome face. If it's not Wang Xian, who is it?He smiled gratefully at Zhou Nengtai, and Zhou Xin's old-fashioned face also showed a smile, and then he straightened his face and beat the horse back to the office.

Wang Xian and a dozen of his subordinates crossed the streets and alleys, and returned to a house adjacent to his home in Taipingli, Qinghefang, where his home was located.Most of the original residents of this house died in the Hangzhou plague last year, and the survivors also moved to the countryside. As for this sad place, it was half sold and half given to Wang Xingye.

Wang Xingye bought this mansion for cheap at the beginning, and originally planned to resell it to make a profit.Soon he regretted it, because other people thought the house was unlucky and refused to take over it, so the house fell directly into the hands of Father Wang.This time when Wang Xian came back, he brought a group of big internal guards and asked him to find a place to settle down, so Wang Xingye settled them here.One is that if you are idle here, you are also idle, and you can save money by living in your own place.The second is to hope that this group of soldiers will be full of yang energy and rush to the evil energy in the house, so they can turn around and change hands...

The guards were quite grateful to Father Wang at first, saying that the father of the military adviser is really interesting.Later, I heard the neighbors talk about the history of this house, and everyone scolded the old man for being a rich man and a bastard... But because of Wang Xian's face, he could only bite the bullet and live in it.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lin San fell down with a bang... Is Wei Wuque's poisonous arrow easy to use?He forcibly exercised his energy twice to increase his blood energy, which made the venom spread all over his body. This journey was all supported by his spirit. At this moment, he was finally safe, and he passed out as soon as he relaxed...

Wang Xian quickly supported him, and with the help of his subordinates, carried Lin San to the bedroom to lie down.The principles of martial arts and medicine are the same. Many of the guards are well-versed in medicine, and they have Ouchi's elixir in their hands. They confidently diagnose and treat Lin San, but they are all dumbfounded when they see the black energy spreading all over his body. They can only seal him first. Seal the acupoints all over his body to delay the spread of the poison, and then use the elixir to hang his life.

Wang Xian asked Shuaihui to go back to Fuyang to invite Dr. Wu. If this genius doctor who was born as an imperial physician couldn't cure him, then Lin Sange's heroic appearance last night would become his swan song in this life.

After Lin San was settled, Wang Xian went into the study in the backyard exhausted. He saw a bed inside, and he didn't wash his face or take off his shoes. He threw himself on the bed, just wanting to sleep well.It's just that his body is extremely exhausted, but his mind is still very excited. The scenes that happened last night and this morning are still vividly presented before his eyes like a revolving lantern...
