Chu Qing had just left the palace when he saw a detective guarding the palace entrance.
Jiang Yuesheng's expression changed and he ran over quickly.
"What happened?"
"Commander, there has been a murder in the west of the city."
"What's going on?"
"Twenty-four people, ambushed a Taoist, a Taoist who called himself He Mowen."
"Hey... don't ask?" Chu Qing's expression changed drastically: "He Ji is really his father, the master of the Three Hidden Sects?!"
Jiang Yuesheng was immediately frightened and asked: "Corpse, where is the corpse?"
"The body is outside the city. It has already passed away. The body was brought back to the government office."
"Damn!" Chu Qing yelled: "He Jizhen is still sleeping in the government office. You are stupid, just take him back to the government office."
Tan Ma's face was full of confusion: "I don't understand the meaning of the great commander because of my humble position. What does the killer's body have to do with Master He Shao?"
"The killer's body..." Chu Qing was confused: "Master He is not dead?"
"No, twenty-four killers were killed. What I mean is that the corpses of the killers were all transported back to the government office. The incident occurred in the west of the city. When the soldiers who were looking for the way saw it, they took the one He Mowen asked
The Taoist brought the body back to Jingzhao Mansion, and when the body was brought back to the center of the capital, the guards were alerted, and the guards informed our government office to go and find the body and bring it back."
"Is he just a Taoist?"
"yes."
"A Taoist killed twenty-four killers?"
"yes."
Chu Qing rubbed his teeth and looked at Jiang Yuesheng. Both of them were shocked.
When I first heard that twenty-four people ambushed one person, a normal person's first reaction would be that the unlucky person who was ambushed must be cold.
Unexpectedly, Liang was not ambushed, but ambushed.
But after thinking about it, Chu Qing understood again.
He is the sect master of the Three Hidden Sects. Let alone the sect master, Zhao Baodan should be able to challenge twenty-four people alone.
Tan Ma was not sure what was going on and couldn't ask anything. Chu Qing got on the horse and took his third brother and Jiang Yuesheng to Jingzhao Mansion.
The distance is not far, and a horse can gallop in less time than a stick of incense.
It obviously stopped snowing after the New Year, but since King You entered the capital, it snowed heavily again. The cold wind howled, and Chu Qing cursed his mother in a low voice.
It was he who sent someone to invite He Mowen to the capital, but someone unexpectedly refused to give him the dignity of Qianqiying and ambushed him on the road!
There were civil servants waiting at the door. Chu Qing and the others went straight to the main hall. When they arrived at the main hall, they finally saw He Mowen, the famous master of the Three Hidden Sects, drinking tea with Ma Rui and chatting and laughing.
He is in his early forties, wearing a coarse preaching robe without any pattern, simple and unpretentious in color. He carries a sword on his back, a wooden sword, and seven-star boots. His face is full of righteousness, his eyes are like stars, his nose is like gallbladders, and his facial features are extremely beautiful.
He has a strong beard that reaches past his chest, especially his eyes, which are restrained and sharp as if they can see through people's hearts. A straw rope is tied around his waist, and a bag the size of a palm is hung.
Seeing Chu Qing and the others approaching, He Mowen and Ma Rui stood up.
Before Chu Qing could speak, He Mowen saluted and laughed loudly: "I think you are the world-famous Lord Chu Qingchu, the commander-in-chief of Qianqi Camp."
The sound is like a loud bell, but it is not ear-splitting. The enunciation is clear and upright, and is extremely magnetic.
His words and deeds are so righteous!
Chu Qing felt that with He Mowen's appearance and temperament, the zombies would have to change their steps even if they were jumping past him.
"Junior Chu Qing has met Master He."
He Mowen saluted again: "The dog He Jizhen, thanks to Mr. Chu's care, I am very grateful."
"You're too polite." Chu Qing quickly went up and helped He Mowen up: "Sit down, Master He, please sit down quickly. You are one of our own, so don't be polite."
He Mowen sat down with a smile, as if he had known an old friend for many years, and joked: "Master Chu invited Pindao to the capital, but he didn't send anyone to escort him. Along the way, the assassin alone met hundreds of people.
The poor Taoist must be proficient in some boxing and kicking skills. Otherwise, there is no way he would be destined to come to Beijing."
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically: "There are more than one group of assassins?"
"Four times, one hundred and eleven people."
Jiang Yuesheng looked anxious: "Where is Tanma who invited the sect master to come to Beijing, but something unexpected happened?"
"My lord, please don't worry. I know that it is not safe for Brother Tanma to go with Pindao. I am afraid that returning to the capital together will cost his life, so I ordered my fellow disciples to escort him back to the capital in the next few days."
Speaking of this, He Mowen looked a little apologetic: "Speaking of it, it's Pindao Meng Lang. This Brother Tanma is a loyal man. He didn't listen to Pindao's advice and wanted to follow him all the way. Pindao had no choice but to kill him.
After fainting, he was sent back to the mountain gate, and he will enter Beijing in a few days."
Jiang Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief. When they met for the first time, his impression of He Mowen was immediately overwhelming.
Looking at what they did, I knew that the journey was dangerous, so I knocked out Tan Ma and sent him back to the mountain gate, and then came to Beijing alone. He was both a high EQ and a brave person.
"My guests from Qianqi Camp dare to rob and kill!" Jiang Yuesheng's face was filled with coldness: "Who are these assassins?"
He Mowen stopped talking and smiled without saying a word.
Fu San frowned and said, "Monk?"
When the third brother said this, He Jizhen spoke: "It's Buddhist Kung Fu."
Jiang Yuesheng asked, but He Mowen didn't say anything because he didn't want to give subjective guidance.
The third brother directly suspected that he had fallen in love with the monk, so He Mowen opened his mouth to tell the truth.
"Are Buddhist disciples so bold?"
The person who spoke was Ma Rui, who was watching the fun. He looked at Chu Qing and asked, "Why do Buddhist disciples deal with Master He?"
There is no need to hide it from one of our own, so Chu Qing also had some guesses.
"It has been spread throughout the capital that Qianqiying invited Sandao Yinmen to the capital. Originally, Sandao Yinmen was our state religion in Dachang. If it becomes the state religion again like before, Taoism will definitely flourish. Naturally, it is not what the disciples of Buddhism want.
have witnessed."
"But it's not like killing people. Buddhism disciples are dedicated to doing good. Besides, how can a monk know kung fu?"
"Have you never heard of warrior monks? The warrior monks are very powerful, okay?" Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely: "Besides, it was you who led the people to seal the temple where loan sharks were placed. How can you not be a Buddhist disciple?"
You know, how do you think about this?"
Ma Rui's face turned red: "I thought it was just some Buddhist disciples who were greedy for money, but I never expected that they would kill people and commit evil."
"Master He was invited by our Qianqi Camp." Chu Qing stood up and said to He Mowen: "The matter will definitely be found out. Let's go back to the office first. Zhao Bao...Feng Taoist and Brother He are both here.
In the government office, I haven't seen him for many years, so I must have missed him terribly, so he happened to tell me what these four assassinations were all about on the way."
"Okay." He Mowen stood up and gave a salute to Ma Rui: "Sorry to bother Mr. Ma, see you later."
It was also the first time for the two of them to meet, and they didn't talk for long. Ma Rui was very polite, and he didn't know what they talked about for a while. He seemed to have great respect for her and sent her outside in person, looking reluctant to leave. It was not an agreement.
It's better to come over for a visit after a few days of free time. If he doesn't come, Lao Ma will take the initiative to find He Mowen.
