Chapter 269: Captain, Fu Yin, Li Guards, and the Third Family
Since leaving the tomb.
After landing on the shore.
Jin An has been waiting for Li Huwei to come to him and confess everything.
At the beginning, in the ancient tomb, because there were many people and the matter was urgent, it was not suitable to interrogate him slowly, so Jin An only interrogated a few words and did not interrogate Li Huwei's identity in depth.
But wait until they get ashore before questioning them in detail.
Jin An has already rehearsed several times in his mind how to cross-examine him when the time comes, and what specific details he should ask. Whatever he says this time, he must clarify the identity of Li Weiwei.
But he had rehearsed it in his mind so many times, but he had never rehearsed it until the few of them stood around the sheep house so casually, chewing carrots in their hands while interrogating Guard Li with relish.
This is too casual.

Not to mention, the "little ginseng" from Yanzhou Prefecture is quite crisp, refreshing and juicy. After finishing one ginseng, Jin An picked up another carrot and rubbed it on the Taoist robe casually a few times, and then continued to taste
He doesn't pay much attention to how crispy it tastes. As the saying goes, if you eat it cleanly, you won't get sick.
“Fatty Li, let’s talk about your identity in detail. What is your identity?”
Jin An saw Li Weiwei's eyes flashing and he was about to speak, so he interrupted: "Fat Li, don't try to find any excuse to fool us."
“Speaking of which, let me recall the entire process of our acquaintance. There are many suspicious things about you.”
“The three major herbal medicine families in Fucheng are all more or less related to you.”
“Even the exact location of Headless Village was provided to us by you.”
“And many of your details in Headless Village are worthy of scrutiny, such as those villagers’ coffins. You can always remind us of some of the most easily overlooked details.”
"And this time when I went to the Yinyi River to quell the Dragon King case, you were able to disguise yourself and sneak in with the captain's cavalry guards... So in the tomb at that time, I had a bold guess in my mind, would you and the captain have been killed early?
We know each other? Otherwise, how could you sneak into the team so easily?"
“Speaking of which, the He family, the Xue family, the Jia family, Wutou Village, and the Dragon King of Yinyi Jiang. Behind this series of events has always revolved around a group of people! That group of antique dealers!”
Li Huwei, who originally had twinkling eyes and was still a little thoughtful, opened his mouth after listening to Jin An's analysis and tried to explain something. In the end, he was dejected and gave up resistance completely.
“Taoist Master Jin’an, if I confess and be lenient, um, can I have a small request...”
Li Huwei said a little embarrassedly: "Can I become the fourth junior brother of Wu Zang Taoist Temple?"
After Li Huwei finished speaking, he looked at Jin An with a longing expression on his face. His longing and uneasy little eyes seemed to be deeply afraid that Jin An would reject him.
Jin'an: "?"
Good guy, is this a small request? Jin An was amused by Li Huwei's words.
“Be serious, stop laughing and joking, you are so playful.” Jin An glared at Li Wewei seriously.
Li Huwei: “?”
Li Huwei was stunned on the spot.
He didn’t smile.
It's obviously Taoist Jin'an who has been suppressing your laughter.
At this time, the old Taoist priest was also amused by Li Huwei's weirdness: "Li Huwei, have you forgotten what the old Taoist I said last time, 'Everyone who enters my Taoist practice must remember the thirteen words, stop drinking, sex and wealth, and cling to love.
Worry and worry, even if you can endure the pain of being alone, can you give up alcohol and meat?"
The old Taoist priest said that this did not delay him at all. After he finished chewing a carrot, he quietly stole another carrot from the goat's mouth with his eyes and continued to eat it deliciously.
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Li Huwei said to the old Taoist priest with a nonchalant expression: "Taoist Master Chen, I made it clear before I came here that the Wu Zang Taoist Temple is a righteous one. You can eat wine, drink meat, marry a wife and have children. There is no problem with three wives."
.”
“So Master Chen, please stop using the ‘Thirteen Taoist Characters’ to deceive me.”
Good guy.
It seems that Li Huwei is really determined to worship at Wu Zang Taoist Temple and become his fourth junior brother. He has found out everything clearly before coming.
"Speaking of abstaining from alcohol and eating meat, last time I accidentally saw Taoist Jin An, Taoist Chen, and the little sword-sharpening brother eating haggis..." Before Li Huwei could finish his words, he was tightly covered by Jin An and the old Taoist priest with nervous expressions.
Shut up, the old Taoist priest directly stuffed the unfinished carrot in his hand into Li Huowei's mouth. He choked and made Li Huwei roll his eyes, suffocated and struggled, and his face became redder and redder.
When Jin An and the old Taoist priest realized something was wrong and let go of their hands, Li Huwei spat out the leftover carrot that the old Taoist priest had eaten in his mouth. He blushed and coughed violently, and coughed out a few pieces of red from his trachea.
Carrot residue.
“Ahem, just mention the key points, and just skip the unnecessary words.”
Jin An changed the topic: "Fat Li, why do you insist on worshiping at the Five Zang Taoist Temple? There are many Taoist temples in the world that are bigger than the Five Zang Taoist Temple. There is even the Jade Capital Golden Tower in the capital, which is a holy place that all monks all over the world yearn for.
The world is vast, and there is more than just one Taoist temple like my Five Zang Taoist Temple."
The reason given by Li Huwei is very simple: "Because if you follow Wu Zang Taoist Temple, or follow Taoist Master Jin'an, you can encounter evil spirits every day."
The more Li Huwei talked, the more excited he became: "I haven't known Taoist Master Jin'an for a long time. It's a headless village, an ancient tomb, a tomb robber, and the Dragon King. Today I came across another case of hiding a hand in a coffin."
, I have not encountered as many evil spirits in my life as I have since I met you, Taoist Priest Jin An!"
Pouch, the old Taoist priest beside him couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing. He really burst out laughing, and a mouthful of residue sprayed all over the floor.
"Old Taoist, please clean up quickly, clean up, it's too disgusting." Jin An looked at the old Taoist silently.
The old Taoist priest went to get the broom and dustpan.
"Fat Li, don't be careless. Let's put aside the matter of whether or not you can enter the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. You have been careless so much and you haven't even gotten to the point yet. Who are you, Duwei, and that group of antique dealers from the three major medicinal herb families in Fucheng?
relation?"
Jin An looked directly at Li Huwei.
Under his five-thunder evil-killing talisman, all evil spirits and heretics dare not look directly at him, and all people with evil intentions dare not look directly at him.
Under Jin An's direct gaze, Li Huwei did not show any abnormality. He scratched his head, as if he was worried about how to organize his words, and then told Jin An everything.
“Taoist Master Jin’an should still remember that one of the antique dealers would change someone’s life into a person who would be prosperous and prosperous, right? He should still remember the life-changing notes we found in Wutou Village, right?”
"This matter must have started more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, a marquis in the capital suddenly died in the palace, which was implicated in a major case. Many officials who had colluded with foreigners were executed and executed...
"
Li Huwei had a serious expression on his face.
“Ever since the big event that shocked the government and the public, the capital has been completely purged. The chaotic capital has become much quieter, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been put to death.”
"However, later there was a secret report that there were still a few remaining small fishes who happened to be in the capital and escaped from that incident. Since the conspiracy was discovered, these people have acted more cautiously, and there has been no news about them for more than ten years.
.Until ten years ago, there were finally clues about them. These people showed signs of resurgence, secretly harming people, changing people's lives by stealing days, depriving others of their precious lives, and replacing them with their own.
When the official career is prosperous, foreign chess pieces are placed among the officials of Kangding State."
"But this time they were more cunning and careful. They did not dare to blatantly place chess pieces in the capital that the emperor inspected. Instead, they planted foreign chess pieces in some local officials of Kangding State in an attempt to subvert Kangding State's national peace from the foundation.
, As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest, and a hundred-foot room is burned by the smoke from the gap..."
“This is the reason why we appeared in Wuzhou Fucheng, to find all the foreigners and all the secret chess lists among the officials.”
Li Huwei said so much in one breath, and took a few deep breaths with a dry mouth. He looked at Jin An and saw the calm expression on Jin An's face. It seemed that he had expected this. Li Huwei took another look in surprise.
Jinan.
“We? Besides you, Captain, who else is there?” Jin An asked calmly.
Li Huwei answered truthfully: "The people who came to Fucheng first were General Duwei and Lord Fu Yin. They cooperated with each other civilly and militarily to stabilize the situation and slowly uncovered the foreign secret chess placed among the officials of Wuzhou Prefecture."
"Later... as the investigation deepened, Fu Yin and the Du Wei were attacked by a sneak attack. Fortunately, the Du Wei was a warrior. He had a masculine spirit and was not afraid of those hidden rats. However, Fu Yin was just a weak and ordinary person; and if he wanted to find out...
These foreign clandestine games require not only overt investigations, but also covert cooperation..."
"So later on, I and a master from Yujing Golden Palace, a master from Zhenguo Temple, and a master from Tianshi Mansion came all the way from the capital to Wuzhou Prefecture to protect Quan Yin's safety. At the same time,
Cooperate with the captain and the governor in secret to investigate the case."
"Thus, three major herbal medicine merchant families emerged in Fucheng, namely the He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family. Only by letting the He family, Xue family, and Jia family compete with each other and become 'enemies' in the business field can the confusion be most easily confused.
, it’s easiest to bait in muddy water.”
"Civil officials, military attachés, the shopping malls, the underworld, the masters of the Jade Capital, the Zhenguo Temple, the masters of the Tianshi Mansion, guard the spiritual path. This is called a dragnet. They are filled with our people overtly and covertly, so that the foreigners can't hide.
"
"As for why the three major medicine dealers were cultivated? Because if these demon monks want to practice evil, they will definitely need a lot of medicine stones. As long as you master the medicine stone circulation channels, you can roughly infer this group of foreigners based on which place consumes a lot of special medicine stones.
action trajectory.”
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he slapped his thigh: "No wonder, let me tell you, the old Taoist, the Feng Shui patterns of He Mansion, Xue Mansion, and Jia Mansion, although artificially disguised, can still be seen from some small details.
It was written by the same Feng Shui master."
The old Taoist priest had no choice but to get up as he spoke. His guess was indeed correct. The feng shui patterns of the three families were indeed created by the same person. Li Weiwei, you are the boss behind the three families.
Being praised so highly by the old Taoist priest, Li Huwei couldn't be happy. Instead, he frowned with a worried look on his face and sighed: "But even though we have done it very secretly, it is impossible to cover everything during the Chinese New Year. In some cases,
Inadvertently small details will always reveal clues...otherwise in Lingqian Township, when Taoist Jin'an and Master Shanneng went to the underworld, Xiao Hanba would never have been found in Jia Mansion."
“It’s impossible for He Mansion or Xue Mansion to have troubles happen one after another.”
"When they lured Taoist Jin'an and Master Shanneng of Bailong Temple to the Jia family, they made it clear that they wanted to move the trouble eastward and wanted to destroy the situation we had worked hard for so many years. Fortunately, Taoist Jin'an and Master Shanneng both
I am not a thoughtful person, and I have not easily been fooled by those foreign thieves."
Jin An’s eyes revealed his thoughts.
Everything makes sense now.
Why did the royal court-controlled military crossbows appear among the eldest lady’s entourage when she first went to Lingqian Township?
It also makes sense why the three major local aristocratic families are having troubles one after another.
As for this group of foreigners who covet the Kangding Kingdom, why is the place of resurgence this time in Wuzhou Prefecture? Obviously, everything started ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, Wuzhou Prefecture’s Four Symbols Bureau was broken.
More than ten years ago, the Yinyi River in Wuzhou Prefecture stopped flowing, and stone oxen carried corpses to dismantle the immortal stone coffin.
This group of antique dealers have been eyeing the Dongtian Paradise Passage in Wuzhou Prefecture from the very beginning! They have been secretly causing trouble in Wuzhou Prefecture for ten years!
Attorney
After thinking about all this, Jin An let out a deep breath.
He only came to Fucheng to return the relics of Taoist Wu Zang. Unexpectedly, he would be involved in so many things and get involved in the quagmire of power manipulation between the government and the opposition.
Logically speaking, as an ordinary citizen, he should not be involved in the quagmire of power manipulation between the government and the opposition, because this is a quagmire of flesh and blood that eats people without spitting out their bones.
Falled in.
It is easy to be unable to get out.
but!
Jin An has never regretted it.
I have never thought of withdrawing or staying out of the situation.
Because, regardless of whether it is public or private, he must eradicate that group of antique dealers! And the appearance of the Cave Heaven Paradise Passage this time is the best opportunity to catch all these people!
“Li, uh...”
Jin An was speechless for a moment. After learning these secrets, he found that he didn't know what to call Li Huwei.
Li Huwei was still the same Li Huwei, with a broad heart and a fat body. He smiled with an indifferent expression on his face and said: "Taoist Master Jin'an, let's just follow the old routine, Li Huwei, Fatty Li, Li Suo of course, Li Yingsu...any one will do."
.”
“Fatty Li, can you tell me how the governor’s daughter died?” Jin An’s question made Li Weiwei’s expression change.
"This thing... is a bit evil." Li Huwei hesitated to speak.
"Fu Yin's daughter died miserably, losing her hands, feet and head. In the end, the experts from Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion that I mentioned earlier took action together. I don't know what happened afterwards, and finally
The missing body was found, the hands, feet, and head were sewn up overnight, and the coffin was hurriedly sealed and buried. Because of this, all three masters were injured. Among them, the masters from Zhenguo Temple and Tianshi Mansion, who were most seriously burdened, had to return to the capital and Fucheng temporarily.
There is only one master from Yujing Golden Tower left in charge."
“But the three masters still refused to reveal what exactly they encountered. Why were they seriously injured? No mention. No one knew what happened to the three masters that night.”
Jin An was startled.
I didn’t expect it to be so involved.
“That master of the Golden Tower in Yujing, couldn’t he be the mysterious Taoist master who controlled the little Han demon to cry and cut off the Yinyi River that night at the Dragon King Temple?” Jin An asked with a look on his face.
Li Huwei nodded.
At this time, the old Taoist priest smashed the carrots in his mouth and said in surprise: "That's not right. Didn't the captain say that night that this Taoist master was not from Yujing Jinque?"
Li Huwei answered the old Taoist priest's question. They came to Wuzhou Prefecture to investigate the list of officials. Foreign antique dealers all operate in secret and it is not suitable to make their identities too public.
Speaking of going down to the Yinyi River, Li Huwei couldn't help complaining to Jin'an. He had approached the captain and he originally wanted to go down to the Yinyi River, but both the captain and the governor refused and would not allow him to go down.
Yinyijiang said he was worried about his safety.
But such a lively event, especially if we can meet the legendary Dragon King, how can we miss him?
Later, he came to the Wu Zang Taoist Temple to find Jin An, planning to change his appearance and ask Jin An to take him down to the Yinyi River to fight evil spirits.
As a result, Jin An was busy dealing with the Jia family's affairs at that time, and he could not meet Jin An and the old Taoist priest several times. Instead, he was idle and bored, offending the goat, and almost left the Five Zang Taoist Temple alive.
Finally, he had to come up with a trick, disguise himself as a cavalry guard, and take the opportunity to sneak into the team...
Li Huwei's courage was not the first time Jin An had seen it, so he was not surprised. He was just curious about another thing: "Who is the master of Yujing Golden Tower?"
Unexpectedly, Li Huwei shook his head and said that he had promised someone not to reveal his identity and asked Jin An not to embarrass him...
“Do I know this person?”
“Is it a boy or a girl?”
Jin An frowned in thought and asked questions continuously.
