There are two places in Yunbo City that are very famous, one is the Imperial Palace and the other is the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The current prime minister of Hualan Kingdom is named Wu Yinghao. He is a very talented and learned man, but his reputation among the people is not very good.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the south of Yunbo City. It is a manor covering an area of 1,000 acres.
It was almost noon, and a pair of heavily armed soldiers were slowly patrolling around the Prime Minister's Mansion.
…
Lin San used an invisibility technique and swaggered into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was very large, with pavilions and pavilions everywhere. Lin San walked around for a long time, but finally got lost.
At this time, a servant wearing blue clothes walked diagonally opposite. The servant was holding a tea tray. It seemed that he was going to get tea.
With a slight shake, Lin San revealed his hidden figure.
"Ah..." The servant was walking when he suddenly saw a strange man appearing on the opposite side and screamed in surprise.
Lin Sanqi stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the servant's neck: "Don't scream,"
"Bang," the servant was so frightened that he dropped the tea tray to the ground and looked at Lin San in horror: "Brother...brother, please, don't kill me..."
"You don't have to be afraid. As long as you answer my questions honestly, I will spare your life," Lin San said in a deep voice.
The servant nodded repeatedly: "Okay, brother, if you ask, as long as I know anything, I will tell you the truth." The servant was very timid at first glance, and he would be as honest as a grandson if he just threatened him a few times.
"Where did your Prime Minister's Office keep those little boys who were expropriated?" Lin San asked.
The servant was stunned: "Collect the little boy,"
Lin San narrowed his eyes: "Don't say you don't know,"
"Brother, I really don't know," the servant said with a grimace.
Lin San frowned, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Brother, I'm just a humble servant. There are many things that I can't know at all." Seeing Lin San's unkind expression, the servant hurriedly explained: "I haven't left the Prime Minister's Mansion for two months. I have no idea what's going on outside." I really don’t know anything at all,”
Lin San glanced at the servant: "Okay, I will believe you for the time being. I will ask you the second question, where is the residence of your Prime Minister?"
"This..." The servant was hesitant in speaking.
"Why, you don't know, do you?" Lin San's tone was a little cold.
"I...I know..." the servant said tremblingly.
"Then say it quickly," Lin San put a little more force on the hand holding the servant's neck.
"Our Prime Minister lives in the backyard, in the three-story attic in the middle of the backyard." Feeling the pressure coming from his neck, the servant could no longer hold on and directly told the Prime Minister's residence.
"Where is the backyard?" Lin San asked.
The servant pointed to the opposite side: "Enter through the small door, walk forward, and cross three doors to reach it."
"You didn't lie to me," Lin San looked at the servant.
"No...I am telling the truth," the servant said hurriedly.
Lin San nodded slightly: "If you dare to deceive me, I will definitely prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow." After saying that, he reached out and slashed the servant's neck hard.
The servant rolled his eyelids and fainted.
Lin San hid the servant in the garden nearby, and then walked in the direction pointed by the servant.
After burning the incense, Lin San came to a large courtyard. In the middle of the large courtyard stood a three-story attic. The attic had carved beams and painted buildings on the outside, and the building was very beautiful.
At this time, there were several servants in the yard cleaning leaves on the ground.
Lin San used an invisibility technique and entered the attic directly.
The first floor of the attic was a hall. There were two rows of mahogany chairs in the middle. The floor was covered with gray wooden boards. There were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. Lin San glanced at the hall and then followed the stairs to the second floor. .
It was quiet on the second floor, with no one around.
Seeing that there was no one on the second floor, Lin San went directly to the third floor.
"Giggle..." A burst of female laughter came from the east end of the third floor.
Lin San raised her eyebrows, slowly came to the east end, stretched out her hand and pushed open a door.
In the room, there is a man and a woman hugging each other and making out. The man has white hair, a long beard on his chin, and is wearing a blue dress. Looking at the woman, she has long hair, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a small nose. , with fair skin, turned out to be an extremely beautiful young woman. At this time, the woman's coat had been untied, revealing the fiery red bellyband inside.
"My little sweetheart, you miss me so much," the man hugged the woman's slender waist with both hands and pushed his face directly into the woman's open breasts.
"Giggle...Master, please be gentle, I'm tickled..." the woman said with a sweet smile.
"Squeak," the closed door suddenly opened.
When the man heard the door knock, he subconsciously let go of the woman and stood up from the chair.
The woman also had her back to the door and quickly put on her coat.
"Hey," the man suddenly said in surprise: "Why is there no one?"
The woman turned around and glanced at the door. It was quiet and there was no one around. "Did the door get blown open by the wind?"
"Bang," there was a sound, and the open door suddenly closed by itself.
The man frowned: "What's going on?"
"Ah," a scream suddenly came from the side.
The man turned around and saw that the woman standing next to him suddenly lifted her feet off the ground and flew towards the opposite wall.
"Bang," there was a muffled sound, and the woman's head hit the wall, and she fainted immediately.
"Ah," the man was frightened by the strange scene in front of him, turned around and ran towards the door.
"If you want to survive, just stop for me," a strange man's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The man's body trembled, and he stopped subconsciously. He slowly turned his head and saw a handsome young man appearing behind him. His lips trembled: "You...who are you..."
The young man who suddenly appeared in the house was Lin San. Lin San had just used invisibility to push open the door and walk in, so the man didn't notice him and thought it was haunted.
Lin San looked the man up and down, and suddenly said: "Wu Yinghao,"
"What's the matter..." the man responded subconsciously.
Lin San smiled: "You are indeed the Prime Minister of Hualan Kingdom,"
"Yes, I am the Prime Minister. What do you want to do by sneaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion secretly?" Wu Yinghao said pretending to be calm.
"Let me ask you, what do you do with the boys aged three to six years old?" Lin San asked directly without any nonsense.
Wu Yinghao was stunned for a moment, his expression still a little flustered: "I... don't understand what you mean,"
Lin San's eyes narrowed: "I'm pretending to be confused." After saying that, Lin San stretched out his hand and a large wooden table next to him cracked into a pile of sawdust.
"Ah," Wu Yinghao took a step back in fright.
"I'll ask you one last time: Why are boys aged three to six years old being expropriated?" Lin San said in a very cold tone.
Wu Yinghao glanced at the sawdust on the ground and twitched the corners of his mouth: "I can tell you, but you have to spare my life."
"Okay, I promise you," Lin San nodded.
Wu Yinghao licked his lips: "I actually collect boys for others,"
"Who else, who?" Lin San asked.
Wu Yinghao hesitated for a moment: "He is a close friend of mine. He is an immortal cultivator."
Lin San raised his eyebrows: "Immortal cultivator,"
"Yes, I used to go hunting in the countryside and accidentally encountered a group of blind bears. All the soldiers who were guarding me were killed by the blind bears. At this critical moment, a great monk fell from the sky and waved his hand gently. All the blind bears fell to the ground and died... Later, I became good friends with the great monk. Through some conversations, I learned that the great monk's Dharma name was Hui Ke. A few days ago, Master Hui Ke suddenly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At that time, Hui Ke The master's face turned pale, he was vomiting blood, and he looked like he was seriously injured. I immediately helped Master Huike into the room, and asked my servants to call the imperial doctor. Unexpectedly, Master Huike stopped me, and he said that his injuries were very serious. Ordinary imperial doctors cannot cure..." Wu Yinghao paused here, took a breath, and then said: "Later, Master Huike asked me to collect some little boys aged three to six, saying that they were used to heal injuries. , in order to repay Master Huike’s life-saving grace, I agreed and sent the servants of the Prime Minister’s Mansion to collect the little boy. This is basically what happened,”
"The great monk, Master Huike, was seriously injured," Lin San pondered for a moment, then looked up at Wu Yinghao: "Describe to me the appearance of that monk Huike,"
"Master Huike is very tall, bald, often wears gray monk robes, and wears a string of Buddhist beads around his neck..." Wu Yinghao described Master Huike's appearance in detail.
After listening to Wu Yinghao's words, Lin San's face suddenly turned ugly. The guy named Master Huike was clearly the great monk who was attacked by the Nangong family a few days ago.
Wu Yinghao stood aside obediently and did not say another word.
After a while, Lin San asked: "You said that monk Huike was seriously injured."
"Yes, now Master Huike can't get out of bed and has to vomit a lot of blood every day," Wu Yinghao replied.
"Where is Monk Huike now?" Lin San asked again.
"This..." Wu Yinghao looked hesitant.
"Say," Lin San shouted softly.
Wu Yinghao trembled: "It's in the courtyard next to it, not very far from here."
"Take me there," Lin San reached out and grabbed Wu Yinghao and left the room.
…
Inside a spacious bedroom.
A great monk sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes tightly, and was meditating. There were two little boys of three or four years old lying beside the bed. At this time, the skin of the two little boys was tightened, their faces were pale, and they seemed to have no breath.
"Who?" The great monk suddenly opened his eyes and shouted softly at the door.
"Master Huike, it's me," a voice from Wu Yinghao sounded outside the door.
"Oh, it's Prime Minister Wu. Do you have anything to do with me?" When he heard it was Wu Yinghao, the great monk's expression immediately relaxed.
"Well, I have something important to tell you," Wu Yinghao said.
"Come in," the great monk reached out and picked up the gauze towel next to him, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The door of the house was opened, and Wu Yinghao walked in with his body hunched over.
