The night is dim and the lights are getting thicker.
After a brief introduction and greetings to each other, Jiang Yichen began to relay the news specially brought during this trip to everyone in Tingyuge.
In order to avoid omitting details and causing misunderstandings, Jiang Yichen tried his best to restore everything that was told to the Tushita Gang and the people on Buji Island that day, word for word and without adding any extraneous words.
Jiang Yichen started by talking about the disappearance of a large number of beggars on the streets of Zhongzhou and the decline of beggar gangs. He also talked about how the almshouse appeared to be the same on the surface but was doing dirty things behind the scenes, and talked about the true origin of "that group of people".
It starts with the frequent accidents in the inland water transport business of Shuizhai on No. 72 Road in Xijiang County, the Red Clothes Sect taking advantage of every opportunity to gradually get involved in water transport in the southwest of Zhongzhou, and the gradual improvement of foreign trade in Yunze Territory.
Let’s start with the slackness in civil engineering repairs in cities and towns in various places. We talk about how most of the craftsmen registered with the Ministry of Works disappear periodically and a few are absent for a long time. We talk about the mediocre business of the Tongsha Gate and the iron gate that make a ping-pong sound in different places.
Day and night, the "Yinsha underworld" reappears in the inaccessible mountain passes in Fujian.
Starting from the story of Ruoyu who was suspected of running away from the Xiaoyue Alliance, it was told that Poppy became ill and stayed away from the incident for a long time because of missing her late husband, and it was told that Mo Shang took charge of the overall situation, and the strategic focus of the gang moved deeply southward, with the Qingtian Clan, the Crescent Alliance, and the Gods of Gods.
Zangfeng Pavilion has attracted a large number of people from the world who have been separated from the old master...
In two full hours, Jiang Yichen traveled from the far west of Zhongzhou to the eastern sea of Zhongzhou, from Tiannan to the northern sea of Zhongzhou, and there were a total of seventy-four incidents, big and small, including the actions of the Zhongzhou court and local government, various gangs
Daily trading activities, Jianghu activities and even people's daily life, covering the beginning, process and recent changes of events.
During this period, he drank three cups of tea.
It's not a story but it's better than telling a story. Why can't I accurately grasp the rhythm of succession and transition like a storyteller, and I can't carefully grasp the audience's emotions and mobilize the audience's attention. Listening for a long time will inevitably make people drowsy.
Fortunately, everyone here is very well-educated and basically very patient.
Even Si'er and Lu Feng, who are more lively and active, cannot concentrate on the whole process, so they will secretly let themselves go and wander around without causing any disturbance.
Apart from this, Jiang Yichen failed to get any more emotional feedback from everyone.
His heart moved, and he concentrated his energy to open his eyes. His eyes were like mirrors, clear and clear.
Within a moment, he closed his eyes and closed his orifices, and slowly exhaled the foul breath.
At the previous glance, he only saw the solemnity and sorrow on the faces of the dozen or so people in front of him, but he didn't see any fear or shock.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Just like that night in front of the old temple, when Smiling Maitreya and Xie Fei and others told him all the news.
He needs to spend a lot of time to consume the numerous and complicated incidents, and he also needs to use a huge amount of endurance to digest and accept that something he does not dare to despise is so unfathomable!
Although not every incident-related information is complete and clear in detail, it is without exception priceless.
If it were the Ghost Hall of the Nether Sect, the collection would not be so wide.
Even the Anbu of the Douyi Alliance cannot dig so deeply.
If you ask about it in your bag, you won't be able to get it with just one or two embroidered handkerchief bellybands.
Jiang Yichen was not sure whether the intelligence system after the merger of the Tushita Gang and Buji Island was the best in the world, but he was sure that the reason why he was exposed was because Smiling Maitreya knew him well, which was beyond Yin Li's reach
and.
At that time, he was already sure that the place where Smiling Maitreya wanted him to go must be in Jiangning County. However, Smiling Maitreya only allowed him to come to Luo Piaoling.
Therefore, everything seems to be unreasonable, but it is expected.
On the way here, he figured out the key points of many problems, and now he has been confirmed again.
Jiang Yichen opened his eyes, and his eyes rested on the figure of a person on the ground under the guidance of the flickering candlelight.
The man's figure is unshakable, like a calming sea needle in strong winds and waves, which makes people feel at ease.
He moved his gaze upwards and locked onto the owner of the figure. He really needed to get a precise explanation from his mouth.
Luo Piaoling did not shy away from making eye contact with Jiang Yichen and looked back at him.
Luo Piaoling knew that the young man in front of him had some residual disease in his eyes, so he might not be able to see him clearly at this moment.
After knowing so much information, you may not be able to have a clear mind, but it will only make you more confused.
He is a very good solver of doubts.
Luo Piaoling said: "Sometimes knowing more does not necessarily mean understanding more."
Jiang Yichen said: "Not bad."
Luo Piaoling said: "The more you know, the more doubts you have."
Jiang Yichen said: "Not bad."
Luo Piaoling said: "You didn't ask the person who informed you about these doubts?"
Jiang Yichen said: "He said that after meeting you, if I have any unanswered questions, you will definitely answer them."
As the two men began to question and answer, everyone's attention was also attracted. Some were drinking tea and watching the show with great interest, some were silent, or some were indifferent.
Almost everyone invariably kept quiet and gave time to the two of them.
Except for Lu Feng.
"Huh! You're so stubborn, here we go again!" Lu Feng grunted angrily, "I always like to beat around the bush when I talk, aren't you tired!?"
Everyone ignored them, including Luo Piaoling, who said to Jiang Yichen, "I will try my best to answer your questions."
Jiang Yichen raised a finger to indicate that this was the first question.
“Did Shaolin’s Linzi Seal come from Tingyuge?”
Luo Piaoling glanced at Ji Zhe and said, "I heard Ji Zhe talk about Jinzhou City. If I remember correctly, he has already answered this question."
Jiang Yichen shook his head and said: "Maybe I didn't have the trust of Brother Ji Zhe at that time. Brother Ji Zhe talked about him and diverted my focus. Having an answer is the same as not having an answer. Moreover, I want to hear what Brother Luo has to say.
.”
Luo Piaoling smiled softly and said: "In this case, it doesn't matter if I tell you. This matter is true to what Ji Zhe said. I did hold the Fudo Ming King Seal in my hand and looked at it in the Shaolin Temple, but I never took it with me.
It has never been out of the Sutra Collection Pavilion, let alone the Shaolin Temple. The Linzi Seal has never been obtained by Tingyu Pavilion."
Jiang Yichen said: "Then did you lose the Linzi seal or not?"
Luo Piaoling said: "I didn't lose it."
Not lost?
Jiang Yichen didn't believe it.
He frowned and opened his mouth to speak.
Luo Piaoling raised his hand to stop asking and continued: "That's all I can answer. Ji Zhe doesn't know as much as I do."
After hearing this, Jiang Yichen did not open his eyes again, but only relied on intuition to scan the crowd with blurry eyes.
He could feel the subtle breathing changes of individual people when Luo Piaoling spoke just now.
Obviously, like him, it was the first time for these people to hear Luo Piaoling's exact answer to the theft of the Shaolin gold seal.
As for the others, they had already gotten the same answer from Luo Piaoling earlier, so they didn't take it seriously.
It is not difficult to prove that Luo Piaoling did not lie.
But Luo Piaoling's inconvenient way of answering may not be without another interpretation.
The Linzi seal was not lost, but was taken away.
It was not Tingyuge who took away the Linzi seal.
Then, who could it be?
Several possible answers flashed through Jiang Yichen's mind, but he lacked enough clues to confirm.
The only thing that is certain is that the Shaolin monk is lying, and Tingyuge is not unjust in taking the blame.
Jiang Yichen's mind was spinning and he asked the second question.
"When did Tingyu Pavilion get involved with the Tushita Gang?"
As soon as this question came out, Jiang Yichen could clearly detect that young Master Lu's ears perked up at the edge of his field of vision.
