Chapter 233

When I arrived at Xizhimen, Hu Zongxian's house was surrounded by layers of Jinyiwei.

The first and fifth brothers were also very regretful. Ximen Chulan asked them to secretly protect Hu Zongxian, but no one expected that he would hang himself at this critical moment. The fifth brother sighed, there were eyeliners from the Jinyiwei everywhere, and we were secretly protecting him. I thought it would be foolproof, but I never expected that he would commit suicide by pursuing it.

I comforted me, Senior brother, you don’t have to blame yourself. Even gods cannot save a person with ambitions.

I analyzed it and although Hu Zongxian has not been removed from office for half a year, he has been imprisoned in disguise and has been detained as a treason for corruption. It would be fine if it was corruption, but the crime was too high. Not long ago, there were some comments that mocked him, which caused a lot of controversy in the capital. This kind of public opinion violence has become the last straw that overwhelmed him. I think he would rather die with dignity and show his ambitions to the world.

The first senior brother suddenly said, is it possible that he would kill?

What evidence is there? What abnormal behavior did he do before he died?

That's not. But yesterday, Xie Shiting came to Hu's mansion. The two of them had a secret conversation in the study for more than an hour, but Hu Zongxian personally sent him out. I wonder if Xie Shiting said something to him, which made him have the idea of ​​dying?

I said it’s unknown, what are the plans of the two senior brothers next?

The first senior brother said that the task assigned by the master was not done well, but it was fine, while he went to Donghai, we were going to enjoy our life in the capital. I guess he had an occupational disease attack, so I hurried to dissuade him. The situation in the capital has been subtle recently, so you should not act rashly. By the way, which rich man have you fallen in love with?

Senior Brother Fifth said this is a question. There are too many experts in the palace, so we are going to go to the richest man in the capital to get some pocket money. By the way, you have a good relationship with that Zhang Youqian, so let us know some news.

I said I would never be able to do such a betrayal of my friend. But don’t blame me for not reminding you. Even Master Zhao Jiu and Lu Zhongyuan gave Zhang Baiwan face. His guards were casually taken out. They were all famous masters in the world back then. I advise you to think twice before doing it.

The first senior brother smiled and said, "We may not be able to fight, but we are professional in stealing things."

I curled my lips. You really have time to go to visit Neizhuang with me. As I said that, I briefly told the two of them about Neizhuang in Sihetang. Of course, I also had selfish intentions and wanted to fool the two of them as my helper, so when talking about Neizhuang, I couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

As expected, the two of them were moved by me. That night, the three of them came to the Minxiang. According to the memory of the day, I walked around and finally found that the place where I settled was a cemetery outside the suburbs of Beijing. It turned out that Neizhuang was under the cemetery!

In the cemetery, there were dirt steamed buns everywhere, with tombstones standing in the sky, a gust of wind blew, dark clouds covered the moon, and the entire cemetery was a bit gloomy.

Brother Fifth said that we are experts in stealing things, but we are not professional in stealing graves and digging graves.

The first senior brother remained silent and carefully investigated and said that something was wrong with this cemetery.

We admire the first senior brother's knowledge very much. As soon as he spoke, the fifth senior brother and I quickly pricked up our ears. The first senior brother said, "I saw these tombstones. They seemed very messy, but the placement contained mystery and hidden some very powerful formation. If I go in rashly, it would probably not be that simple to think of it."

I looked at it again and was shocked. It didn't matter if I saw it. There were 108 tombstones in total, and there was one more piece compared to the 107 bluestones inside Taoshan that day. The first senior brother calculated for a moment and said in admiration that he thought the yellow formation map had been lost, but he didn't expect that the world would be reappeared here!

The fifth senior brother said in surprise, is the yellow formation diagram of one of the three extraordinary formations?

The first senior brother nodded, it was this formation! The real yellow formation diagram is composed of 108 meteorites outside the sky. Although this simple formation diagram is not as powerful as the original formation, it should not be underestimated. It seems that the plan to be lost tonight.

The fifth senior brother pointed to a green tombstone ten feet away and said, "Senior brother, look!"

We can see that this tombstone has strange runes engraved on it, like a heavenly book.

But I was shocked so much that I couldn't add it. The Yellow Formation Map is composed of 108 bluestones. The remaining formations I saw in Taoshan that day were only 107, and one of them was taken away. The bluestone in the cemetery was exactly the same as the bluestone on the Taoshan Yellow Formation Map!

We did not pass by rashly. With the moonlight, we vaguely saw six large characters carved on the bluestone. These characters have been mottled over the years. If we had not trained our sages, we would not have been able to lighten the characters on them.

Murong Baiyun’s Tomb!

The first senior brother thought, and it turned out that this was the case. Unexpectedly, Murong Baiyun, who was arrogant back then, was buried here.

When the leader of the martial arts world, Murong Baiyun died in the capital, but his body and cemetery were buried where he was buried. However, no one expected that he was just buried in an ordinary cemetery in the outskirts of Beijing. If it weren't for the dark light of the bluestone under the moonlight, it would be difficult for us to notice this tombstone.

No ordinary people care about who is buried below. If people in the world enter rashly, they may have been lost in the yellow formation map before they get close to the tombstone. Sihetang built the Neizhuang here, which was obviously carefully considered.

But I was full of doubts. If this was the case, how did I enter the Neizhuang that night? Could it be that there was another entrance?

The first senior brother said that if you want to solve this mystery, you may have to wait for your master to come to the capital.

I wondered, Ximen Blows the Light to come to the capital?

Senior Brother Fifth said that he was a master after all, so how could you not be so big or small?

I smiled and said, after so many years, I have been used to it. It seems that I will return to nothing tonight.

The first senior brother said that this trip was not in vain.

As soon as Hu Zongxian died, two days later, an edict was issued in the palace, ordering his son to carry the coffin back home, and give him the posthumous title "Xiangmao". He concluded that he had a hard time armor and he was called Xiang, and his power and virtue were called Xiang, and his official position was called Mao for his virtue, and he was rewarded for his merits. Hu Zongxian was a civil servant and was a Jinshi, but he had never been in the Hanlin Academy, so he was not given the posthumous title "Wen", which symbolized the highest honor of a literati, was not given to him.

The next morning, I returned to Liushemen and went to find Lu Zhongyuan. I gave a special report on what happened during the January period of Sihetang. I did not hide the matters about Neizhuang. When I heard Neizhuang, Lu Zhongyuan was very interested and asked about some specific situations. I also answered them one by one, but I still didn't explain in detail what happened in the cemetery last night.

Lu Zhongyuan said that the court had been watching this Neizhuang for a long time, but they were too secretive, and those who entered were blindfolded. If we were not sure, we would not have wanted to alarm the enemy, but now the situation is different. Your Majesty has set a deadline for us and demanded that the case be solved. Captain Su, you have been to Neizhuang, you have to do more work in this matter.

I was reluctant in my heart and said that now my organization is still at the Six Gates in Jiangnan. According to regulations, I will set off for Jinling soon. Look at this matter...

Lu Zhongyuan hummed, do you go or stay? Isn't it my thing? You did a good job in Jinling Liushumen. When this happens, I will let you and Zhang Youqian go back to Jiangnan. Comrade Su Youzai. Now our Six Gates have a heavy responsibility. You must distinguish between the enemy and me and the main point. The meaning of the palace is, after all, it is not allowed to have an organization like Neizhuang at the foot of the emperor. To be honest, Your Majesty personally took charge of this matter, and Master Xie led the Jinyiwei, Dengwenyuan, and the Six Gates and Three Lines went hand in hand. You don't want us to lose to others, right?

I had no choice but to be willing to serve the shopkeeper.

Lu Zhongyuan laughed and said, "Very good, very good." Then, he changed his subject and heard that you had a friendship with Hu Ruzhen. What do you think of his death?

I said that as my identity, I dare not talk to the ministers in the court, so the shopkeeper should spare me.

Lu Zhongyuan said unhappyly, just say it if you want to say it.

I thought for a moment, briefly expressed my opinion, and then said that both the court and the palace hoped that he would die, and that he would be successful in suppressing the Japanese. Even if public opinion was not good, no one dared to bear the infamy. If he could die, it would probably fulfill most people's wishes.

What else?

I said that the day before Hu Zongxian died, Mr. Xie had gone to meet him. As for what he was talking about, his subordinates didn’t know.

Lu Zhongyuan said he didn't know and asked!

I was a little embarrassed and said that he was a high-ranking official in the cabinet. I was not equal to him at all. How could he speak? I'm afraid it would be more appropriate for you to ask. Lu Zhongyuan said, now that Ge Xie is our immediate boss, I will not do such offending things.

I cursed in my heart, "If you don't do it, let me do it, what's the point? If I ask, don't offend anyone? I'm from the Six Gate. If I offend him, what's the difference between offending him and you? But I said, "A fourth-rank official in front of the Prime Minister, as I am afraid I can't even pass the post in my capacity!"

Lu Zhongyuan smiled, it was just the opposite. The day after tomorrow it was Mr. Xie's birthday, Captain Su. With your relationship with the eldest lady of the Xie family, it would be appropriate to go to celebrate the birthday.

I curled my lips and said, you are quite well-informed.

Lu Zhongyuan said that when we are in charge of our constable, we must observe all directions. If we can’t even find out about this, wouldn’t it be a waste of work for me, the position of the big shopkeeper? You should also take good care of you. In the future, we will be promoted and raised to serve as the chief inspector and become the big shopkeeper and marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of our life. Nothing is a dream!

Since he mentioned this, how could I miss this opportunity? Take the opportunity, big shopkeeper, you see, I have been in Liushemen for a year, and even Zhang Youqian has become the headmaster in red. Look at my title as the headmaster in blue, should I move?

Why, do you have any ideas?

I said, I also want to make progress and I can better serve the shopkeeper in the future.

Lu Zhongyuan, I can consider it. You can also go back and consider it.

I doubt, what are the considerations for this?

Lu Zhongyuan said that Zhang Youqian only thought about it for one night and then got it right. Why are you so many people?

Coming out of Lu Zhongyuan's study, a figure flashed and hit me with a bang. The human being said, "Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
