Chapter 61 Obtaining new information

same night.

The golden slip is like a ghost, patrolling over the capital, its clothes are translucent, and no one along the way notices her presence.

At night, the Tianshi Mansion is brightly lit, with buildings radiating in a ring around the iconic bell tower.

In the deepest part, there is a quiet courtyard with few people disturbing it.

A large and dense banyan tree has green strips of paper swaying, and there is a faint glow.

Jin Jian passed through the courtyard gate and looked up at the rocking chair placed under the tree.

On the rocking chair, Lao Tianshi, one of the most powerful people between heaven and earth, lay leisurely.

He is tall and straight, with a long beard and eyebrows, narrow eyes, a gentle face, and a black priest robe hanging softly.

"Come back?" Zhang Yanyi asked lazily.

The golden slip looked cheerful and held the disciple's gift in his hands:

"The problem that has troubled the disciples for a long time has been solved."

"oh?"

"If the natural soul is strong enough, it is possible to resist the spell. Such people are extremely rare, but there are always some."

"Really...that Zhao Duan, is he such a weirdo?"

Jin Jian was shocked: "How does Master know that the subject that this disciple is curious about is about him?"

Zhang Yanyi smiled and said:

"Otherwise, how can I be your teacher? In charge of the Tianshi Mansion?"

"Yes..." Jin Jian was convinced.

She had heard about Master Zhang Tian's power when she was very young, but to this day, she still feels that Master Zhang's magic power is like a deep ocean with no end in sight.

"Master, what are you looking at? Aren't you bored lying here all the time?" Jin Jian asked curiously.

"Look at the sky." Zhang Yanyi said.

The golden slip raised his head, looked at the deep starry sky, and the Milky Way hanging down, and said doubtfully: "But there is nothing in the sky."

Zhang Yanyi said warmly: "Does Jin Jian'er still remember the source of the great power of cultivation?"

The golden slip endorsed Pandao:

"The introductory classics say that the beginning of spiritual practice is not the worship of gods by the ancestors in the ignorant era, but the first sage looking up at the stars for the first time."

After saying that, the girl suddenly realized:
"Master is imitating the sages? But your magic power, master, has already surpassed countless sages."

"There is no end to learning, so don't underestimate your ancestors." Zhang Yanyi said.

Jin Jian said "Oh", seeming to understand but not understanding.

She majored in stars, moon and gods, and was very familiar with the night sky, but she really couldn't see the tricks.

When the golden slip left, the big banyan tree swayed, and a mysterious face appeared on the tree crown:

"It's too early to tell her this."

Some words can only be understood after reaching a certain level. The theory of practice has been perfected to this day.

Zhang Yanyi said:

"Taizu Dayu highly praised the practice of ancient methods. I didn't agree with it in the past, but in recent years, I feel that it has merits."

The big banyan tree did not answer, but instead said:
"Then is Zhao Duan really just a powerful innate soul?"

"It's hard to say." Zhang Yanyi showed a rare hesitation.

The face of the big banyan tree was startled.

I thought to myself, what would it be like in this world that even Master Zhang Tianshi could not see clearly?
The old Heavenly Master, who had a long beard and long eyebrows, and narrow eyes, stretched his brows and suddenly said:

"You have to take a closer look."

Jin Jian'er was right, it was indeed a bit boring to sit here all day, so... let's go and see that strange little guy.

The government office, the prison.

In a clean, separate cell.

Yun Xi bent her legs, hugged her knees, and sat on the wooden bed, looking up at the only three "pin"-shaped ventilation holes on the wall.

There was gauze-like moonlight pouring into the hole, shining on her pretty face.

In the girl's mind, she recalled her experiences during the day. After walking around for a while, she was escorted back to the cage, not knowing what happened to Lu Liang next.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the more I think about it when I step back, the more I lose.

Yun Xi suddenly got up, walked to the railing, and slapped wildly:

"Here comes someone!"

A jailer was alerted and came over, frowning: "What are you shouting for?"

Yun Xi stared at him: "I want to see Zhao Duan!"

The jailer sneered: "What kind of noble person is Mr. Zhao, and you can see him whenever you want?"

Yun Xi choked, thought for a while, and said:
"It's okay if he doesn't want to come. Give me paper and pen, and I'll write him a letter about the clues to the case."

The clues to the case...the jailer was shocked and did not dare to neglect them.

Knowing that the female thief was involved in Kuangfu Society, and thinking of the opportunity to please Zhao Duan, he immediately nodded and went to find paper, pen and sealing wax.

He didn't dare to pry into such fatal information.

The next morning, White Horse Prison.

When Zhao Duan arrived at the Yamen, his colleagues warmly welcomed him. Everyone's face was filled with smiles and congratulations.

News of the downfall of the Zhang family spread in the official circles of the capital yesterday, and attracted much attention because of the involvement of "firearms."

Although on the surface, it was Zhaoya who solved the case. However, if anyone inquires a little bit, they will know that Zhao Duan is also involved.

Of course, the vast majority are based on stereotypes.

I just thought that it was Zhao Duan who had some bad luck, got the clues, and got a piece of the pie.

Little did he know that he was also leading the process of solving the case.

Regarding this direction of public opinion, Zhao Duan is happy to see the results.

"The reputation belongs to you, and the benefits belong to me." This was the signal Zhao Duan conveyed to Ma Yan.

Ma Yan readily agreed.

At the same time, Zhou Cang privately revealed to Zhao Duan that in order to thank the envoy for his generosity, he especially "taken care" of the Zhang brothers in prison.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be tortured to death in prison before Qiu Zhan is exiled.

In addition, according to gossip, Privy Councilor Xue Shence entered the palace yesterday.

After coming out, he immediately started to rectify the Privy Council, including the Ministry of War, and there was a sudden uproar.

"My lord, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind. Could it be that you were too tired from handling the case yesterday? You should rest at home. If you have any orders, just leave them to your humble position."

Just entered the check-in room.

Zhu Kui, an old official with a fleshy face, dark complexion and rough appearance, came forward with a flattering smile.

As an ordinary person, Lao Zhu was unable to participate in yesterday's action.

He was even almost snatched away by Zhou Cang for the position of "leading the horse to fall off the pedal". He suddenly felt a sense of crisis and became even more attentive at this moment.

"How dare you complain that you are tired of sharing your Majesty's worries?"

Zhao Duan sat down in the hall, looking righteous.

Crazy complaints in my heart:

Last night, I walked across the desert in the God of War. When I woke up, I felt mentally exhausted.

After Taizu said the word "Guan Tian", no matter how hard he tried, he ignored him again.

On the other hand, after imitating the other person to meditate and watch the sky, she could vaguely feel the stirring of her soul, but since she had only practiced for one day, the effect was not obvious yet.

"I don't know how long I have to walk in the desert...to learn the second martial art."

Zhao Duan thought:

“Too much is too much, to bite off more than you can chew, and the rays of light are still far from covering your whole body, so you need to practice diligently…

If Emperor Taizu of Dayu could really communicate, perhaps establishing a conversation with him and obtaining information would be the greatest value of the Martial God Picture. "

Shaking his head and putting the matter aside, Zhao Duan asked:
"I'm not here, what can I report?"

He wanted to receive more information and find inspiration to deal with Minister Pei.

"some!"

Zhu Kui was shocked and began to report on his work.

They were all bits and pieces, and at the end, he took out a letter: "Last night, the prison chief of the government prison sent a letter, saying that it was given to you by the female thief, and it involves the case. I dare not do it because of my humble position. Please open it for me to take a look."

Clues sent by Yun Xi?
Zhao Duan was startled.

The first thought was that the female thief was rescued by me yesterday, completed her transformation, had a profound enlightenment, and decided to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and sell out the clues about "Kuangfu Society".

Immediately, he dismissed it.

What he thought was too beautiful... With doubts, he took the envelope sealed with wax, and Zhu Kui withdrew sensibly.

"Stab-"

Zhao Duan lowered his eyes to read, his expression became strange.

The letter was not information related to Kuangfu Society, but a piece of dirty information about the imperial censor "Lü Liang":
Lü Liang was born in Jiangnan. He was very talented since he was a child, but he failed in many trials.

Only when he was disheartened did he find out that it was because he was attracted by the fourth daughter of Pei Shilang, but he refused righteously, which offended the Pei family. That was why he was suppressed by the imperial examination examiner and lost his reputation.

The fourth mother of the Pei family still didn't give up on Lu Liang, and sent someone to send a message, saying that as long as he "nods", she can help him rise to the top.

Otherwise, even if you pass the exam, you won't be able to win.

After failing the exam several times, the high-spirited Lu Liang's spine was bent. On a rainy night, the former Jiangnan genius went to the door of Pei's house alone with an umbrella.

Not long after, Lu Liang got engaged to the fourth mother of the Pei family, and then, the imperial examination results were released, and he and his younger brother were ranked third.

Lu Liang rose to prominence from then on and became the iron-mouthed censor he is today.

The story doesn't end.

According to what Yun Xi said, although Lu Liang was humble, he was extremely disgusted with his wife.

On the surface, she is a "hep-controller". After getting married, she has no status at home.

I had accumulated depression in my heart for a long time. One time, I indulged in sexual indulgence and enjoyed a weak woman who was "offered" by others. However, because I was too violent, I strangled the woman alive on the bed.

Later, Pei Siniang became aware of this matter.

This famous "strong wife" in Beijing was furious and went to find her father, Pei Shilang, and asked for a divorce.

But at that time Lu Liang already had a position and was useful to Pei Shilang, so he was rejected.

At the same time, Lu Liang was also beaten by his father-in-law.

Since then, in the eyes of outsiders, the "loving" couple Luliang and his wife have become completely different from each other.

Value room.

After Zhao Duan read the entire information, he called him a good guy in his heart, and his desire for gossip was greatly satisfied.

I am already 80% convinced of the authenticity of the letter.

The intelligence system of Kuang Fu Society must be good. Yun Xi was paraded by Lu Liang yesterday and wanted to use her own hands to take revenge. This is very reasonable.

"If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow." Zhao Duan flicked the letter with his fingers, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He bit open the hole in the golden body of Pei Shilang and found it.
