Chapter 164 The Key Person

With thoughts in his heart, Lin Xiao just flew out of the ancestral hall when he heard a loud shout coming from afar.

"The master will stay!"

Hearing the sound and looking, it was Duan Meng who led Cui Yishan and Zhuo Qinghe over from a distance.

Saying something in his heart just in time, Lin Xiao dispersed his body skills and drifted down.

When he got closer, Duan Meng saw that the task was completed, and he bowed and stepped back with great interest.

Cui Yishan's face was solemn, he pointed his gaze in the direction of the ancestral hall, and asked in a deep voice.

"Prince Qing, it's true..."

Lin Xiao nodded. "I have personally tested it, and there is no doubt that it was suicide. I have asked Prince Qing to collect the body and bury it. As for what will happen next, I will just wait for someone from the imperial court to come."

Cui Yishan pondered for a moment and asked again. "So, is it true?"

Of course Lin Xiao knows the same problem, two truths, but the latter falls elsewhere.

"Don't worry, Chief, the evidence is conclusive."

Cui Yishan hummed softly, then suddenly looked at Lin Xiao and said: "Last night, the leader was killed in the street, and this morning King Qing committed suicide by hanging on a beam, and all the chief military officers of the Zhaoning Guard were missing. It's hard to say that the method used by the leader was too overbearing.

Have you had some?"

He paused at this point and said with a hint of ridicule.

"Such a scene is not like the behavior of a person who has lost his subordinates and lost all his eyes and ears..."

Lin Xiao's expression did not change, he just smiled, but did not answer his words.

But he knew very well in his heart that Cui Yishan had the whole story on his own head.

As for whether to explain or not? There is no need. The most important thing now is to use his power to control the palace. After all, neither the palace guards nor the garrison sergeants are reliable, and Yunzhong Temple naturally does not have this problem.

At the same time, I will try to find a way to stabilize the guard camp. In this way, with a two-pronged approach, the entire Zhaoning City will not be able to cause much trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao deliberately changed the subject and asked bluntly.

"I wonder how many people the boss has brought with him this time?"

Cui Yishan did not continue to dwell on whether Tan Tang was really the mastermind behind the scenes. He only said: "Seven of them are all good players."

Then he looked at Lin Xiao with a strange smile on his face. "What? Are you trying to drag me down?"

Lin Xiao laughed. "Even if I really want to drag you away, I still need fellow Taoist to be willing to come. If you don't come, what can I do to drag you away?"

Cui Yishan snorted coldly. "Then you have to see what kind of water it is. If you step down with your front foot, you will move your calf and then your back foot, and your head will disappear. It will not be easy to play."

Lin Xiao said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this matter has been accomplished with great success."

Cui Yishan did not deny this. "That's true, but what if it doesn't work?"

Lin Xiao looked at the eight-foot giant man and said with a smile: "There is no risk, and you can still get credit. If there is such a good thing in the world, how about introducing it to me?"

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Cui Yishan let out a long sigh and glanced at the surrounding scenery. "Tell me, Taoist friend asked me to come here, what exactly do I want to do."

Lin Xiao first clasped his fists to thank him. Knowing that Cui Yishan was willing to help, the matter was half done, so he said.

"Nothing else is needed. Fellow Taoist, just keep this Prince Qing's Mansion under control. I only have one request. From now on, I will take care of people, I will take care of my letter, I will take care of my words. I will take care of the rest."<

After hearing this, Cui Yishan asked: "How many days?"

Lin Xiao made some calculations. "Five days, five days at most."

Cui Yishan asked again, "Whose fate is it?"

Lin Xiao smiled. "I have never been short of human life lawsuits."

Cui Yishan nodded his head. "Okay, just five days. Within five days, if an idle person runs out of the house and a little bit of news leaks out, you can come back to me and scold me."

"Haha, in that case, thank you fellow Taoist for your help." Lin Xiao thanked him.

Then Cui Yishan waved his hand. "Okay, I'll lead my subordinates first, and then we'll make clear arrangements."

After saying that, he ignored Lin Xiao and didn't even go to the ancestral hall. He turned around and left.

Zhuo Qinghe, who had been silent next to him, looked at Cui Yishan's back and couldn't help but sigh: "This Lord Chief..."

Lin Xiao continued: "There is fineness in the roughness, and you can handle big tasks."

Zhuo Qinghe also agreed in his heart, but what he was thinking about at this time was that he had thought about how to ask Yunzhong Temple for help along the way, but he didn't know how many times he thought about it.

A suitable place to settle.

Showing weakness and begging for mercy? It doesn’t seem to work; it’s also inappropriate to oppress people with official position...

How could such a difficult problem, which in my opinion had no solution, be directly solved by the Qianshan Ti Master in front of me in just a few words?

How did he do it?......

With this thought in his mind, Zhuo Qinghe's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Lin Xiao.

If there was still some fear in the eyes when they first met, now it has turned into a hint of fanatical admiration.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't know any of this, and he didn't even have the time to understand the details, so he just said.

"Zhuo Qinghe!"

"My subordinate is here!" Zhuo Qinghe collected his mind and replied immediately.

"Prince Qing, you go and help me, and keep your eyes open. If you find anything wrong, report it to me." Lin Xiao ordered.

Zhuo Qinghe bowed and accepted the order. "Yes, I will obey the law."

After saying that, he went straight to Qingwang Ancestral Hall.

Seeing that the arrangements were in place, Lin Xiao jumped up and looked around for the whereabouts of Wang Shuliang and Dou Zhang.

Soon, the study building on the left side of the front and back bedrooms attracted Lin Xiao’s attention.

Just because there seem to be more than 10% more guard sergeants there than elsewhere.

After several ups and downs, he climbed over the courtyard wall. As soon as Lin Xiao landed, he spread his spiritual sense and captured the two sergeants guarding the door of the study.

Looking from a distance, there were two figures running around in the house, and a few voices were faintly heard.

"...Secret letters, handwritten notes, whatever you can dig out, dig it out for me! Hurry! The sooner, the better!"

At this time, Wang Shuliang had long lost his usual elegant appearance. He was sweating profusely, with his high crown aside, holding a stack of letters with unknown contents, and threw them directly into the brazier.

The surging flames and black smoke choked him with a dry cough. He shook his robe sleeves violently and rubbed his eyes, which were already red from the smoke.

"Sir, sir, no, there are too many. Don't ask if we can find them all. If we just burn them like this, we won't be able to finish them all..."

Dou Zhang on the side was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, pulling rows of scriptures on the bookshelf directly to the ground, and holding no less than a dozen letters in his hands.

"As much as you can find! Hurry!"

Wang Shuliang rushed back to the table and rummaged through the letters scattered all over the table. Whenever he came across something signed by himself, he tore it up and carried it in his arms.

"By the way, the ledger! Where did Zhao Sheng put Prince Qing's ledger?" Wang Shuliang suddenly asked loudly.

"In the back of the study, in the secret compartment behind the picture of pine and crane!" Dou Zhang answered hurriedly without stopping his hands.

"This, this damn..." Wang Shuliang cursed, stepping on the scriptures and books on the floor, and ran towards the inner room.

Then there was a "hissing" sound, as if some calligraphy and painting were torn to pieces, and then there was a voice.

"This old man! He actually remembers it in such detail!" He said again: "Quick! Come and help me! Help me move out the account books, they are all burned!"

Wang Shuliang shouted, but there was no reply from Dou Zhang outside. He immediately became angry and turned around with a few account books.

"Why are you dawdling here! If you are slow and let that ferocious spirit hit you, you and I will never escape today..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly raised his head and found Dou Zhang in front of the desk with a pale face, trembling slightly, staring blankly in the direction of the door, stammering and unable to speak.

Looking around, I saw a figure standing with his hands behind his back, staring at him with a serious look.

In an instant, Wang Shuliang felt his heart twitch suddenly, as if it stopped beating, and a cold air rushed down his spine and into his head.

"Ah——!"

His whole body trembled, and Wang Shuliang screamed.

But Lin Xiao paid no attention to him. He pointed two fingers and shot out his true energy. The belt around Wang Shuliang's waist broke at the sound!

Immediately afterwards, there was a "crash", and dozens of letters in the arms were scattered on the ground.

"Ti, Ti Lord, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!"

"I know my mistake! I know my mistake! Please let me go!"

"..."

After a series of wailings, the two of them knelt down and kowtowed, their heads banging against the pile of letters.
