Chapter Thirty-Three: The Elders of the Holy Church
() In a moment, a middle-aged man who was about fifty years old, with a fat figure and a big belly came into the hall.
Liu Xia looked up and saw that the fat man in front of him looked very kind.
A pair of eyes with a narrow slit, a high bridge of nose, and a mustache.
Wearing a dark green round-necked large-sleeved shirt with auspicious cloud patterns, and a black crown on his head, he looked like a scholar.
It's just that the jingming on his face looks like a businessman full of copper odor.
"Two distinguished guests, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
When the fat man saw Liu Xia and Fu Jianfei, he clasped his fists and bowed with a smile on his face.
"Humph, this is my young master. Is this how you treat guests?"
Fu Jianfei grinned, with a domineering look on his face, raised his hand and shouted angrily.
There was a slight hint of displeasure on the fat man's face, but it was just fleeting.
"Haha, I am a king of Xing. I am famous and wealthy. I have not taken good care of you and have neglected my two distinguished guests. Please move to the side room to discuss matters."
Having said this, he made a gesture of invitation, and then shouted: "Send a pot of good tea to the wing."
Liu Xia stood up and walked toward the small courtyard behind.
Wang Fugui hurriedly led the way, smiling very humbly.
After entering the wing, tea is ready.
Liu Xia sat down carelessly, and Wang Fugui hurriedly held your teacup in both hands and placed it in front of Liu Xia.
"Sir, I wonder what kind of business you want to do when you come here?"
Wang Fugui asked with a humble smile.
"Ahem."
Liu Xia cleared her throat.
"Do you know who my young master is?"
Fu Jianfei immediately drank it openly.
"Uh, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. Do you dare to give me a good name?"
"You idiot, wash your ears and listen carefully. Our son's surname is Wang, and he is the second son of the Chief Envoy."
Fu Jianfei shouted disdainfully.
"Oh, it turns out it's Wang Yanei. The young man has eyesight but doesn't recognize gold and jade. It's his fault. When Wang Yanei comes, the shop will shine brightly."
Wang Fugui hurriedly flattered him and smiled even more humbly.
"Gou Sheng, you go out first, I have something to say with Shopkeeper Wang."
Liu Xia, who had been silent until now, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said.
Fu Jianfei said nothing, opened the door and went out, then carefully closed the door and guarded the outside.
"Haha, I, a servant like me, am used to being arrogant. Shopkeeper Wang, please don't mind me."
Liu Xia smiled and said lightly.
"There, there, Wang Yanei was joking."
Wang Fugui hurriedly apologized with a smile.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang, let me tell you the truth. The rules of my family are very strict. My father is also very serious. As you know, I am a newbie here and I don't have much skills. I have spent a lot of money recently and I am a bit stretched.
I came here today to ask shopkeeper Wang to borrow some money. I wonder if shopkeeper Wang is willing to help?"
Hearing this, Wang Fugui showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Wang Zhoushan was indeed the chief envoy and had three sons. However, Wang Fugui had never seen him and was not sure of Liu Xia's identity at all.
Secondly, if you ask for a loan, this is a pawn shop, not a bank.
When he was thinking about how to refuse, he accidentally lowered his head and saw a black jade pendant placed on the table.
That jade pendant looks very ordinary at first glance. Although men in Dragon Soul Continent have the custom of wearing jade, they rarely wear black jade pendants.
As for this black jade pendant, a black beast's head was embossed on the front. Even though Liu Xia was well-informed, he didn't know the name of this beast.
This jade pendant was obtained from the elder of the man in black in the Wutong Garden dungeon, and he has always worn it on his body.
After being identified by the traitors in the Inspectorate, this jade pendant was the elder's command talisman.
So, after carefully interrogating them about the incision of the joint, they went straight here.
The purpose is to see what exactly this place is, and finally be able to follow the clues and find their online presence.
Otherwise, how long will this last for a hammer and a stick?
Just for an instant, a look of astonishment appeared on Wang Fugui's face, without any concealment.
He picked up the jade pendant and took a look at it, then looked at Liu Xia, then took a respectful step back and bowed deeply.
The bronze-smelling Jingming statue disappeared in an instant, revealing a solemn look of Shen Yu Mu Qiqi."
When Liu Xia heard what he said about the incision, he answered with confidence.
"God will bless my teaching for thousands of years."
"The leader is wise and powerful, the sun and the moon shine together."
"The younger one is the deacon of Yuntang, Wang Fugui. Meet Elder Wang."
At that moment, Wang Fugui knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly."
With that said, Liu Xia helped Wang Fugui up.
"I wonder which hall Elder Wang belongs to?"
Wang Fugui asked softly.
"I am under the banner of Lei Mutang."
When Wang Fugui heard this, his expression became much more relaxed.
"Excuse me, elder, come here, but what is going to happen?"
"I just got the news that Liu Xia's injury has recovered. I heard that he is going to Wangjiapu tomorrow. I am very worried."
"Liu Xia's injury has healed?"
Wang Fugui asked in shock.
"Well, I saw it with my own eyes. You can't fake it."
Liu Xia said firmly.
"Speaking of this Liu Xia, it really makes people gnash their teeth. Many of the informants we installed among the inspectorate and officials have been removed. Even our Lord Zhetian personally took action and failed to deal with this guy."
Having said this, Wang Fugui glanced at Liu Xia secretly, and Xuan'er asked: "When did Elder Wang come to the northwest?"
"I just came here five days ago. It was the hall master's order to stay undercover by Liu Xia's side to prevent any unexpected events."
"Oh? It turns out that Elder Wang has just arrived. No wonder, has Elder Wang not contacted Elder Guan?"
Wang Fugui was obviously very wary of Liu Xia and deliberately asked Liu Xia this question.
Liu Xia frantically searched for the name of the person named Shangguan in his mind.
However, Liu Xia is also a fake at this moment. How do you know who Shangguan is?
So, I decided to take the gamble!
"Haha, of course I've seen it before. Elder Shangguan has something to do and he can't get out, so he asked me to send a message."
When Liu Xia said this, although her face was relaxed, she was very nervous in her heart.
If there was no such person as Elder Shangguan, the secret would be exposed immediately.
It was a small clue that was revealed. It was easy to find, but it was interrupted again, and all the efforts were wasted.
"So that's it. It's no wonder that Elder Shangguan has just recovered from his serious injury. My subordinates knew about it, and soon they spread the news to Wangjiabao."
Wang Fugui nodded and said thoughtfully.
Liu Xia breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he might have gotten away with it.
"This elder is new here, so I really don't understand some things. May I ask, what does this Wangjia Fort have to do with this holy sect?" Liu Xia asked tentatively.
Wang Fugui was still very cautious, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice:
"Elder Wang, please don't embarrass me. There are some things that it is not convenient for me to reveal."
"Haha, I'm just curious. I know this is against the rules. Well, I'll leave."
After saying that, Liu Xia stood up.
"I will send the elder off, but the elder must be careful in the future. If something happens, you don't have to come in person. These are extraordinary times. If there is an emergency, you can inform the elder Shangguan. I am afraid that the elder Shangguan will not be able to escape this time.
It is a last resort. Under normal circumstances, Shangguan elders have a way to send the news out."
Wang Fugui smiled and followed Liu Xia out of the door.
The two of them chatted all the way, and then Wang Fugui took some banknotes to Liu Xia as a cover and sent Liu Xia out of the door.
Watching Liu Xia's back walking further and further away, Wang Fugui turned around and hurriedly entered the pawn shop.
"Immediately send someone to investigate. I always feel that there is something wrong with this person's identity."
Wang Fugui ordered to a waiter.
"The villain obeys your orders."
After saying that, the guy went to the backyard, rode a group of earth spirit beasts, and headed straight out of the city.
Liu Xia and Fu Jianfei left the pawn shop and were not in a hurry to go back.
Because, with Liu Xia's cultivation level, he could naturally sense that someone was following him.
However, what Liu Xia didn't expect was that after some purges of the northwest bureaucracy, there were actually informants from the Hidden Dragon Sect.
"Do you have any impression of anyone whose surname is Shangguan?"
Liu Xia asked softly.
"My Inspectorate is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials. Among the officials in the northwest, there is one with the compound surname Shangguan, but he is only a ninth-grade official. He is not in Weiyang City at the moment. Among the generals in the army, there are also several with the compound surname Shangguan.
Yes, but he is also a young general. Why does the prince ask like this?"
"Is there anyone recovering from a serious injury?"
Liu Xia asked softly.
"No."
Fu Jianfei answered decisively.
"Could it be that Wang Fugui just discovered the clue and deliberately tested me?"
Liu Xia had such a suspicion in her mind, but if that was the case, her identity had obviously been exposed just now.
If what Wang Fugui said just now is true, then there really is an undercover agent with the surname Shangguan beside Liu Xia.
Looking at it now, it is not clear whether Wang Fugui discovered it.
But Liu Xia knew that the outcome would soon be known.
Because, if Wang Fugui sees the clues, according to the style of the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult, he will definitely evacuate immediately and destroy the secret village.
If the identity was not exposed, this secret village would still exist.
One hour is enough to explain everything.
"Let's go to the Chief Envoy's Yamen. Has Wang Zhoushan received the notice?"
Liu Xia asked softly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's perfect. Mr. Wang's second son did arrive five days ago. I guess that Mr. Wang has sent his second son to a secret place and no one will notice."
Fu Jianfei responded quietly.
Liu Xia nodded, and the two of them headed towards the Chief Envoy's Yamen.
The Tongtian Villa where Wang Zhoushan originally lived has now become Liu Xia's temporary residence. Their family now lives in the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
Since he had already said hello, Liu Xia didn't stop him when he came back and walked in without hesitation.
The spy who had been secretly monitoring Liu Xia turned around and left when he saw Liu Xia returning to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
Liu Xia then went to the backyard, changed into a servant's clothes, and returned to the Inspectorate with Fu Jianfei.
"Is there any movement at the pawn shop?"
Just after he came back, Liu Xia couldn't wait to ask.
