Chapter 45 Night Detective

But Song Jiang's journey ended in vain. Song Jiang returned to Liangshan and was depressed all day long.

On this day, the brothers on the mountain took the lanterns of Laizhou and went to Tokyo seven or eight miles away from the village to report to Song Jiang. Song Jiang said, "Don't hold on to the bondage, and call Shangguan for a long time."

Not long after, he brought two men, eight or nine lantern craftsmen, and five cars to Dazhai. The few people had the courage of Xu Xian. Song Jiang asked just after asking, he immediately replied: "The villain is the Chengchai Duke of Laizhou. In the year, Tokyo is located in this state, and three lanterns are needed. This year, two more are Yushan Linglong Jiuhua Lanterns. Dear heroes, please spare your life."

Song Jiang immediately enjoyed the wine and food, and asked to take out the lamp to see. The lantern craftsman hanged the Yushan lamp, put the belts on all sides, and planned to be ninety-nine or eighty-one of them. Song Jiang said, "I have kept you all, I am afraid that I will teach you to endure hardships and not be stable. I will only leave this bowl of Jiuhua lamp here. The rest of you will be relieved of your own officials and reward you with trouble. Twenty taels of silver."

The few people were overjoyed and kowtowed and went down the mountain.

Song Jiang taught people to light the lamp in the Xiaotang of King Chao Tian and said to the leaders: "I grew up in Shandong and never came to the capital. I heard that there are big lights now, and I am having fun with the people and celebrating the Lantern Festival. I want to go to see the lamp privately with a few brothers."

Wu Yong advised: "No, now the capital is the most common people. If there are any mistakes, what if it is done?"

A few months ago, when the capital management was about to be relaxed, and Qin Suer's sect was covered by the guards. Song Jiang said: "I only hide in the inn during the day and go to the city to watch the lights at night. What are the concerns?"

Others also made great efforts to advise.

Everyone knows what he wants to do. Some people oppose the recruitment from beginning to end, while others sympathize with the recruitment, but they are worried about Song Jiang's safety.

Song Jiang insisted on going.

Wu Yong had to discuss with Song Jiang the candidates to go to the city to watch the lights, Song Jiang and Chai Jin, Shi Jin and Mu Hong, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, Zhu Tong and Liu Tang. Only these four people went there, and the rest were guarding the village at home. Dai Zong pretended to be the leader, and he was a little anxious and could report back and forth.

Last time, there were only Dai Zong and Wu Song and his group.

Wu Song is very skilled in martial arts, Dai Zong is scud, and travels hundreds of miles a day. These two people are indispensable. The rest of them are also good at hand.

When Li Kui heard the candidate, he clamored: "I said Tokyo is a good lamp, brother, I want to go there too."

Song Jiang said: "How do you go?"

Anyone can go, but this person who makes trouble cannot go.

It was useless to persuade Li Kui this time. He wanted to go there anyway. Who could persuade him? Song Jiang said helplessly: "Since you are going, you are not allowed to cause trouble. You are dressed up as a companion to follow me. Just ask Yan Qing to go there again and be a companion with Li Kui."

That is, Yan Qing was asked to take care of Li Kui specifically.

But he asked Yan Qing to go to Song Jiang to have selfish intentions, and was afraid that the people on the mountain would not be able to say it. It happened that Li Kui took Yan Qing away openly in this trouble.

All of them were people who had committed crimes. According to Song Dynasty, they were mostly cunning when they were exiled to take care of the custody. Di Qing was also cunning before, and Song Renzong wanted to wipe the custody with medicine for him. Di Qing disagreed, but that was the court. The resources on the mountain were still not as good as the court. Fortunately, there was An Daoquan. He first used poison to do the word cunning, and then used good medicine to treat it. After red scars, he used fine gold and beautiful jade to grind it into fine powder and apply it every day, and it was naturally worn away. Xu Xian's mother's beautiful jade was used to make An Daoquan use this use.

Several people dressed up, and the remaining leaders sent them to the Golden Beach. Wu Yong repeatedly instructed Li Kui: "You go down the mountain often and you will cause trouble. Today, you go to Tokyo to watch the lights with your brother. You will not eat wine on the road. Be careful to avoid the usual personality. If there is a collision, it will be difficult for brothers to meet and it will be difficult to get together."

Li Kui repeatedly promised: "It doesn't matter if the military advisor is worried, and I won't cause trouble for this incident."

The group of people dressed up again.

...

"Brother, something big is not good." Li Zhongdao.

"What's the matter?"

"My cousin has been missing for several days," Li Zhong said worriedly. Chen Ling can't find it, it has a great impact on Li Zhong, and his status in charge may be out of order. It has a great impact on Xu Xian. Xu Xian may never get the Pure Yang Pill that saves his mother's life again.

"He's out for a few days."

"No."

Li Zhong said again: "What should I do? Even if I go out to play, he will come back as well. And he must come back at this time."

“Why?”

"Didn't Xianggong Cai preside over the Jiuding?"

"I know, what else?" Xu Xian asked indifferently. In fact, he was also very curious about the Nine Cauldrons.

"Last winter, Princess Cai Xiang was responsible for casting the Nine Cauldrons, and finally succeeded. At the end of the year, the court brought the Jurchen envoy from the north again."

"Jurchen?" Xu Xian asked immediately.

Although Zhao Ji and Cai Jing made the Song Dynasty like this, even this may not cause the Song Dynasty to perish. Even the Song Dynasty took down all Hehuang, gradually eroding the Western Xia to perish. Although there is a demon sect in this world, the two so-called immortal sects and the heroes of Liangshan may not cause the Song Dynasty to collapse.

If what Liu Ruyue said was true, Chen Tuan defeated the Second Sect, and the Song Dynasty was separated by Tubo, the rest of the Second Sect could be preserved. If now, if the Second Sect did too much, the Song Dynasty captured Hehuang and could drive tens of thousands or tens of thousands of troops to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, even if the Second Sect had dozens of Jindan masters like Ling Xuzi, they would have to perish in the end.

The second gate is powerful, and the military power of many soldiers in this world also exceeds the military power of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in his previous life.

At most, the Second Sect has the ability to assassinate Zhao Ji, but can they kill all the thousands of royal family members together?

Not only will the Song Dynasty be destroyed, but it will not perish.

Maybe after killing Zhao Ji and changing to an emperor, the Song Dynasty would be able to get better again.

If there were no Jurchens, there would be only two results in the Song Dynasty, one was the butterfly effect and the other was the pendulum effect.

The butterfly effect is that a butterfly flaps its wings, and maybe it will shave hurricanes in other places. The pendulum effect is to push it with your hand, and the trajectory of the wall clock pendulum will change, but in the end, under the forced correction of the machinery, everything will return to the original track.

The butterfly effect is a comparison, which can bring some changes to the world, but the possibility of a hurricane is very small. The pendulum effect is also a comparison. If the power is not large enough, various factors will forcefully correct the subtle changes brought by the individual. But if it is exactly the same as before, the possibility is also extremely small.

The Jurchens did not appear, and I don’t know what changes Zhao Ji could bring to the Song Dynasty, but the destruction of the country might be minimal, and many clear streams are still there, and the possibility of the Song Dynasty becoming better after his death will reach 60%.

But when the Jurchens appeared, everything was different.

Lieutenant General Li said what he heard.

"What does that have to do with whether your cousin comes back?"

"No, Xianggong Cai obeyed the emperor's edict and gathered the elites of the world to cast the nine tripods. After the tripod was completed, it was placed in the nine halls on the south side of Taiyi Palace in Da Nei. Each hall was surrounded by the city walls, and the city wall was painted with earth walls and painted with different colors, and named Jiucheng Palace. The central tripod is called Di Nai, painted with yellow, and sacrifices are all yellow. The Tu Wang Rising Day sacrifices in the north, and the sacrifices are all black. The winter solstice sacrifices in the north, and the pear tripods in the northeast are pear tripods in the spring. The spring tripods in the east are blue, and the spring sacrifices are green. The wind tripods in the southeast are green, and the summer solstice sacrifices in the south. The red tripods in the south are purple, and the summer solstice sacrifices in the southwest are Fu tripods in the south, and the autumn sacrifices in the west are called Yin tripods in the red, painted with red, and the autumn equinox sacrifices in the northwest are Kui tripods in the northwest, painted with white, and the winter sacrifices in the beginning. These eight tripods are all medium-scale sacrifices."

That is, the names of Jiuding have been changed now.

"Originally, the treasure tripod was sacrificed during the winter solstice, and the emperor heard the news of the Jurchens. So after offering sacrifices to Emperor Nai, he led his ministers to sacrifice to the treasure tripod. When the emperor was offering wine, the treasure tripod suddenly cracked. At that time, the king and his ministers were stunned. Cai Jing suddenly leaned down and said that the treasure tripod corresponds to the north. This sign means that there will be civil strife in the north, and we can destroy them and truly unify the world. So the emperor turned surprised and rewarded the ministers with great pleasure. However, this matter finally made the emperor dislike it."

"It's weird if you like it," Xu Xian said with a smile.

Cai Jing gave Zhao Ji a way, but if Zhao Ji said he had no knots, even Li Zhong would not believe it.

"In addition, the Immortal Lord defeated the fourteen Buddhist monks. Although the emperor did not say it, he knew some inside information, and he was even more displeased. On the 8th day of the day, because there were five-color clouds appearing under the sun, he issued an edict, and the Buddha changed his name to Dajue Jinxian, and the rest became immortals and the great scholars. The monks were deities, changed their clothes and were called surnames. The temple was palace, and the courtyard was a temple, that is, the abbot was a knowledgeable palace affairs. All monks and civics could be changed to the Deshi Session, and the left and right streets could be changed to the Dashi Academy. The Deshi Session was affiliated with the Dashi Academy, and Cai Youtong gave the imperial examination. The monks in the Prefecture of the World were also deities, and the female crown was deities, and the ninth was deities."

Buddha is Sakyamuni and other Buddhas. The Golden Immortals are under the Emperor and are the ministers of the Emperor of Heaven. This is the most open way of refusing Buddhas and raising Taoism.

Lin Lingsu is a representative of Taoism. Cai Jing is secretly and the crown prince is in the open, supporting the Shi family.

This edict was issued, which was quite beneficial to Shenxiao Temple. There will be a series of rewards later. Not only Lin Lingsu, but also his personal disciples will get many benefits.

Therefore, Li Zhong saw that Chen Ling had not returned for a long time, and he was a little anxious.

But that's true?

After Li Zhong left, Xu Xian thought for a long time.

In the end, I didn't think about it anymore. A big thing would happen in the Song Dynasty a few years later, but it really didn't seem to have much to do with him.

He pretended to be a servant and quietly came to Jinqian Lane. As the Lantern Festival approached, there were more pedestrians on the street, including Jinqian Lane. Xu Xian was crowded inconspicuously in the crowd, and not far away was Li Shishi's mansion.

He observed here for several days, but it was not that there was no chance. Li Shishi did not refuse to accept customers as rumored by the outside world.

It was just a little different. There were many guests who came and brought valuable gifts, called greetings. In fact, they were mostly bribed Li Shishi, hoping that Li Shishi would speak a few good words in front of Zhao Ji, and get promoted and make a fortune. Some people came here because of their reputation, but they would never dare to stay for too long. At the second update, all the guests would resign immediately.

There are many subordinates in the Li family, so this is not something Xu Xian is worried about. He is worried about the people from Yaochi Sect.

However, these guests brought many gifts, and some brought servants.

Actually, this is an opportunity.

When he arrived at the Li family, he happened to see a man from the court, Li Shishi's madam handed over two ingots of yellow gold, which was 100 taels. Li's mother looked at the gold and smiled happily, and put the young man in with a gift box.

Xu Xian passed by quickly, quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, and went straight to the main hall, which was where Li Shishi used to meet guests, and next to it was Li Shishi's boudoir.

When they sneaked under the window, the two of them were not in the main hall, but they were talking in the room.

Xu Xian looked around and came to the living room with the courage to say secrets. Li Shishi took the man to the boudoir, but the two of them didn't do anything. There were huge candles in the show room, and even though they were through the bead curtain, they could still be seen inside.

Li Shishi sat in the main seat, but Xu Xian couldn't see it, but saw the person in the guest seat.

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment. This person was very familiar with him. He was one of the leaders of Liangshan, Yan Qing.

Seeing Yan Qing, Xu Xian reacted very normally. There were too many strange things he encountered during this period. Even a long time ago, he was wondering whether there was really a white snake in this world turning into a beautiful girl waiting for him.

Moreover, he had no good feelings for Liangshan from Jing to turn from Jing, but he did not have a bad impression of Yan Qing. The one who wanted to be evil might be Liu Ruyue, but he must not let him see his own. Hearing the footsteps, Yan Qing raised his head, Xu Xian quickly twisted his body over, pretended to be a servant doing chores, walked into the main hall, pretending to be a utensil on the incense table behind the main hall, pretending to gently clean up the utensils on the incense table behind the main hall.

Before Yan Qing came out, Xu Xian was about to lie on the wall and eavesdrop on the eavesdropping, and then another sound of footsteps came.

Xu Xianrang had no choice but to let go, and he glanced at the corner of the west wall.

He immediately walked over, opened the door of the cabinet, and entered.

A sound came from outside: "Dalang, my wife, your tea."

But the maid who came did not leave.

Xu Xian didn't dare to come out, and took advantage of the light in the gap to look inside the cabinet. He saw a strange thing, and there was a door inside the cabinet, but the door bolt was tied inside. Xu Xian was curious and took out a dagger from the ring and slowly pried the door bolt open.

It made him feel new curious. The door bolt was very strong and it was an iron door with fake paint on the outside!

After prying it for a long time, I pushed open the door with my hands and feet. When I walked in, I saw several small rooms with many men's clothes hanging inside. But it was not the place that surprised him. There was a passage behind the small room, which slowly went down. There was a strong copper door behind, and the door bolt was still tied inside.

Xu Xian was stunned. Could it be that there is really a legendary tunnel in Li Shishi's home that leads to the Great Inner Palace?

It’s not that I don’t believe that Xu Xian can tell a lot of unreliable false news in the legend. Based on his personal ideas, although the Northern Song emperor has always been known as the people, so he is called an official in the public, but he cannot do such a ridiculous thing.

Then he stood in front of the big copper door and thought about a question, should he pry it open and go in and take a look?
