Ye Xiaotian could not confirm based on this that the people who wanted to kill him came from the family village. Judging from the scene that happened at Sanchakou today, there were at least three assassinators. But he was sure that except for the ten people he sent out, the others did not mind killing him.

Moreover, from the standpoint of all parties, the reasons for assassination of him, whether it is the Zhan family, the Guoji family or the Yang family brothers, are not sufficient. Although he, Guojigelong and Yang Xianmin were a little unhappy before, it was just a personal grudge, involving the interests of the tribe, but the Yu family wanted to assassinate him the most benefited.

He was a mediator sent by the prefect Zhang, and the Yu family also belonged to Tongren Mansion. They had to give Zhang Fatty Zhang more or less face, but what would happen if the mediator sent by Zhang Fatty Zhang was assassinated? They had more reason to occupy the Mercury Mountain, and even angered Zhang Fatty Zhang with this incident, prompting the Tongren Zhang family to wade into the muddy waters.

"Are you from the Yu family?... The only one who can decide to kill me is Yu Junting. This woman is so vicious!"

Ye Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly. He was not a person who suffered a loss but could not bear it. It was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but Ye Xiaotian never thought he was a gentleman, so he couldn't wait for ten years. Ye Xiaotian said a few words to the guard, and the guard was slightly surprised and looked at Ye Xiaotian in surprise.

Ye Xiaotian sneered: "I have figured out her mind. She wants to be confused, so I will let her be confused enough. You can do it, there will be no problem!"

The guard lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Yes!"

On this night, the main house of the Yujia Village is brightly lit, and the heads and housekeepers are summoned here to discuss matters with the chieftains and Tushe all night. It can be imagined that the people of the Guoji family, Yang family and Zhan family will not sleep well this night. There is a dispute at the intersection of the three forks of the road and many people died in various tribes. This matter will not be done with this.

Moreover, the toasts of each tribe also realized that this was an excellent opportunity to seize the Mercury Mountain. As long as they could grab the banner of morality and carry it on their shoulders, they would get the sympathy and support from other tribes. If they occupied morality, they could take action without restraint.

...

Wubaling is located about thirty miles north of Mercury Mountain. Here are mountains, mountains, deep valleys, green bamboos and woods, and the scenery is very charming. There is a rough and simple building in the depths of Wubaling's bamboo sea. It looks a bit like a Taoist temple, and it is indeed a Taoist temple.

Taoism is widely circulated in Guizhou. In fact, Sichuan, as the birthplace of Taoism, radiates Taoism with this as its core. The provinces that are most affected by it are Yun, Gui and Yu. Later, many local officials in Guizhou also believed in Taoism, creating temples and palaces, which helped fuel the spread of Taoism.

For example, the Yang family in Bozhou believed in Taoism. Yang Bin, the 26th generation grandson of Yang Duan, was the envoy of Bozhou Xuanwei, who studied Taoism with Taoist priest Bai Feixia in the 13th year of Zhengde. The next year, he simply built the Innate View in Gaoping, practiced in the stone chamber all day long, and taught the "Book of Changes" to his disciples, and wrote books such as "The Great Achievement of the Dao of the Xuanjiao".

Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of the Yang family, also believed in Taoism. He once practiced Taoist rituals in the Sea Longtun of Zunyi and tested Taoist priests' arts. He ordered Taoist priests to hold sharp blades in their hands, and those who did not hurt their hands were good at doing Taoism. Taoist priest Lu Yichong was in a sensation of hard Qigong, and immediately chopped himself with his sword. As a result, the sword edge rolled up but the skin was not damaged, and was hired by Yang Yinglong as a mage.

Therefore, there was a Taoist temple in this place where Wubaling was sparsely populated. There were only two people in this Taoist temple, one master and one disciple, and the incense was not strong, so in addition to planting some crops and vegetables themselves, they would also be invited to set up Nuo altars for the people to make methods and receive some rewards.

Although the masters and Taoism in Nuotan have their own origins and core concepts, they cannot be equated, but in fact, after thousands of years of development and integration, they have long since created the Nuotan Taoism. Many masters in Nuotan believe that they are the Laojun religion, so it is not uncommon for Taoists to be masters of Nuotan Taoism.

The mountain people nearby all knew that the old Taoist priest in the Zhuhai Taoist Temple had the magic name Chen. As for his little disciple, he was originally an abandoned child, but he was picked up by Taoist Master Chen and became his disciple. He had no official name. He only knew that his master called him Shi Tou. It is said that when he picked him up, he was abandoned on a large stone on the side of the road.

Except for the need to invite Taoist Master Chen to their place to do rituals, fulfill vows, sacrifices, celebrations and other things, the mountain people will enter the forest and go to the Taoist temple for consultation. At other times, few people will disturb the bamboo sea. Therefore, the bamboo sea is very quiet. On this quiet night, the lights should have been turned off in the Taoist temple, but at this time the old Taoist Chen's room was still on.

Two people sat opposite the lamp. The dish was a plate of fried beans and the wine was made of homemade glutinous rice wine. Chewing a bite of crispy and fragrant fried beans, and filling a mouthful of homemade mellow and rich wine. The two people looked leisurely.

The man in the north had a Taoist robe, which was familiar to the nearby mountain people. The person sitting opposite him was not his little disciple, stone, but an old man of similar age and tall and thin. This old man escaped from Huxian and disappeared without a trace.

Taoist Master Chen Liao picked up a bean, chewed it, and said to Wang Ning: "A very interesting thing happened today. The Yang family, the Guoji family and the Yu family, and the three families were welcomed and hired teams to fight in Mercury Mountain. It is said that someone was trying to assassinate the cold arrow, and the assassinated person actually included all parties."

Wang Ning laughed and said, "I knew that the Zhan family wanted to marry the Guoji family, and then work together to suppress Yang Xianmin and stop the Mercury Mountain Rebellion. How could this be possible? Yang Yinglong was ambitious and would never sit idly by and watch the matter succeed! So I kept ignoring it, and it turned out to be..."

Chenliao raised his white eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? Are you saying that the assassination comes from the Yang family in Bozhou?"

Wang Ning said: "It is possible, but it may not be. The little girl in Tongren Yu's family has no ambition and a big appetite. Maybe the Yu family wants to take back the Mercury Mountain in the chaos, so she takes action. No matter who it is, in short, the Mercury Mountain chaos has not yet come to an end, right?"

Chenliao muttered, "No one believed you, you were the Jinyi personal army who was specializing in the crime of treason. You are in charge of the crime of treason, quelling the disaster, collecting military information outside, and instigating enemy generals, but now you are deliberately helping others rebel..."

Wang Ning said seriously: "You are wrong! What we are still doing is to investigate illegal acts and quell the rebellion, which does not violate the original intention of Emperor Hongwu to establish his own army. However, although some people are ambitious, their rebellion will not be revealed for a day, and the court will be unable to punish them without being taught.

Whether we are with us, Yang Yinglong will try his best to expand his strength, lurk patiently, and wait for the right opportunity to jump out and stab him hard in the heart of the court. Instead of doing this, it is better to let him follow our pace, so that the losses can be minimized and ultimately bring those who are plotting against the enemy to justice!"

Chen Le shook his head and said, "Did the imperial court not come up with any regulations during the Mercury Mountain Rebellion?"

Wang Ning said: "This incident happened on the territory of all the local officials. None of them confessed to the court. How did the court know?"

This is like some gang members. Even if they are on the weak side, they will only follow the rules of the Tao and fight against their opponents. They will never complain to the court. Once they open this statement, they will be despised by the chieftain group and abandoned. How can they still hang out in the future?

The same is true for the prefect Zhang of Tongren. He is also a local official. Even if this incident caused him a headache, he would not speak to the court and ask the people from the court to run to his territory to point fingers. Not only would they not tell the court, but they would also try every means to cover up the matter.

Even if the fight was bloody, it was their own business. It was a nightmare to let the court intervene. During the Yongle period, the two Xuanwei envoys in Sizhou and Sinan fought hard. Emperor Yongle came uninvited and ran out enthusiastically to mediate. What was the result?

As a result, the two Tian family Xuanwei envoys in Sizhou and Sinan lost power from then on. The territory they had passed on for thousands of years was cut into eight pieces by Emperor Yongle, one left and one right, and then they broke out of their absolute control. A few years ago, two small chieftains in Huxian fought again, but the court came again uninvited. What was the result? As a lesson, how could the prefect Zhang make such a mistake again?

The old Taoist Chenlia snorted softly and said, "But you know!"

Wang Ning took a sip of wine and said, "Not bad! But this time we know, what about the next time? We may not have this luck. We only have a thousand days of thieves, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for thousands of days, so we did not report to the court, and we tried every means to help them conceal the news. Instead of preventing the blocking, it is better to let them out on their own initiative."

The old Taoist Chen Le smiled bitterly and said, "The Tao is different and they don't plan together. Forget it, I am a monk now. All the four great monks are empty. Ignore all these mundane things. Baichuan and others... are all okay?"

Wang Ning nodded and said, "It's all good. Anyway, you're a silly crane now, so why not take the time to see the old guys."

The old Taoist Chen Liao shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still had this kind of spirit before, but I have lived alone in the bamboo sea for many years and have been too lazy to move anymore. It's that thing that happens if I see you or not."

The two sighed at the same time, raised their wine glasses and touched them. Taoist Master Chen Le picked up another bean and said to Wang Ning: "By the way, Ye Xiaotian, who caused you to escape from Hu County, is now sent by Zhang Duo to mediate the rebellion among the tribes. According to what you said, this kid is very alert. This time... he will not ruin your good deeds, right?"

"Ye Xiaotian..."

Wang Ning frowned and said to Chen: "I really admire this boy. If the court is full of officials like him, then what else can I worry about? However, this time, there is nothing wrong with the matter, and he will not have any solutions."

Wang Ning took a sip of wine and said leisurely: "Didn't you say that Yang Xianmin and the Yu family are the ones he matched? A big trick, he is still young after all, and his ideas are too naive sometimes. He can only make the relationship between all parties more unclear. Let's put it this way, the mess of Mercury Mountain can be cut off with one sword! And such a sharp sword is only available in the court, and it can only be the Emperor's Sword. Apart from that, there is no way!"

When Wang Ning said this, Ye Xiaotian's image appeared in his heart: "That ghost spirit, can't really come up with a way to calm the turmoil in the Mercury Mountain, right?" Wang Ning never thought that the mediator sent by Fatty Zhang was now planning more carefully than him how to make the situation in the Mercury Mountain even more chaotic.
