Zhang Ruhui frowned and stepped forward, patting Xiao Qingfeng's face. The little Taoist boy suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw that his senior brother Mingyue and his senior brother were both beside the bed. He stood up and said curiously: "I am obviously in the courtyard, how come I'm here?"
here?"
"Not good!" Zhang Ruhui felt something bad after hearing these words. When he hurriedly turned around and took a look, there was no trace of the three people just now.
"There is something bad about this matter. We need to report it to the headmaster!" Zhang Ruhui asked Mingyue to take care of Taoist Wang and Xiao Qingfeng. When he hurriedly walked to the back hall, Lin Lingsu was meditating and entering concentration.
After listening to Zhang Ruhui's words, even Lin Lingsu couldn't sit still and came to the side courtyard to see him. Wang Daoren had woken up, but his mouth had been stuffed with sesame walnuts for so long that even his tongue was stiff and he couldn't speak.
Come?
Lin Lingsu frowned and ordered the Four Treasures of the Study to be fetched, and then asked Qingfeng Mingyue and the two little Taoist boys to retreat.
Wang Daoren picked up his pen and wrote the three characters "Ximen Qing" first. Lin Lingsu asked, "What does this matter have to do with Ximen Qing?"
Wang Daoren then wrote the word "Jade Pendant". Lin Lingsu suddenly woke up, said "Oops" and asked Wang Daoren: "Did you show me the Five Stone Powder?"
Zhang Ruhui on the side also thought of the key point, and suddenly he was sweating. This idea was his own, and there was nothing wrong with it originally, but now Ximen Qing's identity has changed from a businessman to the commander of the Imperial City Department!
You know, this newly added commander is obviously prepared for King Zhao Kai, who has just been promoted to the Imperial City Division!
There was some gap between King Jia Zhao Kai and Lin Lingsu, and even the Shenxiao sect, so Lin Lingsu had already spoken out and tried to avoid conflicts with King Zhao Kai.
Wang Daoren also did not expect that Ximen Qing would guess that he was a member of the Shenxiao sect.
"The tea shop owner just now must be from the Imperial City Department! I actually went to drink tea with him!" Zhang Ruhui suddenly remembered something, stamped his feet and said: "The back of that big man just now looks so familiar, could it be Wu Song?"
"It's too late to say anything now" Lin Lingsu pondered for a while: "The current plan is to move out all the medicinal materials in the alchemy room. Without evidence, even King Jia can't do anything!"
Zhang Ruhui agreed: "We have to put the Five Stone Powder plan on hold until the news has passed."
"This is not enough." Lin Lingsu sighed: "Only an unexpected fire can calm everything down."
"What does the Headmaster mean?" Zhang Ruhui couldn't believe his ears when he heard this.
Lin Lingsu nodded firmly: "This is how we can get the Imperial City Secretary and King Jia to stop. A fire can cover up everything."
"But this is the Shangqing Baolu Palace." Zhang Ruhui whispered sadly: "It's not easy for the Shenxiao Sect."
"The most painful thing to say is me." Lin Lingsu sneered: "But the Five Stone Powder must not be related to the Shenxiao Sect. This is the most critical thing. It is just a Shangqing Baolu Palace. The worst is to rebuild it.
."
"But this debt must be settled on Ximen Qing!" Lin Lingsu gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, her face was ferocious, and she no longer looked like an immortal.
The tea shop owner, Wu Song, and Shi Qian took advantage of Zhang Ruhui's entry into the house and exited the Shangqing Baolu Palace. The matter of Shenxiao Sect and Wushisan was immediately presented, along with Gushang Flea.
Those medicine packs Shi Qian took.
These are the evidence.
Qian Gui and Tan Zhen quickly got the news. The best thing to do was to report this to whoever would be in trouble for this kind of thing.
Originally, the two factions were secretly competing with each other, and each of the two gangsters was in charge of his own affairs. This time, King Zhao Kai was appointed as the Imperial City Secretary, and the two gangsters, Qian Gui and Tan Zhen, reached an agreement by chance.
The medicine package and information were sealed in a box with the monograms of Qian Gui and Tan Zhen on it, and were sent to Prince Jia's Mansion.
In this way, only an hour after Wu Song and the other three left the Shangqing Baolu Palace, things were already placed on the desk of the fifteen-year-old boy, Prince Jia Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai looked at the unprecedented monograms of Qian Gui and Tan Zhen on the cover and laughed a little. Although he had not gone to the Imperial City Division to meet the two of them, he also knew that these two people were friendly on the surface, but secretly they were very unruly.
.
Unexpectedly, the two of them actually sent this thing together today, which shows the importance of this thing. It is so important that the two event officials did not dare to make a decision and directly sent the thing to their own Imperial City Division.
Zhao Kai opened the cover himself and opened the two-foot-square wooden box. The smell inside made him frown.
Zhao Kai was very familiar with this smell. It was a material used by Taoist priests to make elixirs. His father, Zhao Ji, also occasionally tinkered with these things. Most of the time, that annoying Mr. Tongzhen Daling, Lin Lingsu, was personally in charge.
"Could this matter be related to the Shenxiao sect?" Zhao Kai took out the folded paper at the top of the box and re-covered the wooden box with some disgust.
After blocking the smell again, Zhao Kai unfolded the piece of paper. His father had always been superstitious in Taoism, and he had the nickname Tao Lord and Emperor outside, which was known to the world.
As the two demons grew old, he could breathe a sigh of relief, but the younger Lin Lingsu immediately appeared in the forbidden area, making Zhao Kai very angry.
Originally, Zhao Kai was powerless to do anything about all this, but the position of promotion to the Imperial City Department arranged by his father gave him hope.
Didn’t it take long for important information to arrive?
Zhao Kai took a deep breath, asked his subordinates to exit, and then took a closer look at the information.
The information is not like those long and smelly memorials. It is very concise and to the point, and the key points are stated in just a few words.
The Shenxiao sect is secretly refining Five Stone Powder!
Those medicine packs are proof!
Zhao Kai closed the piece of paper after reading it and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, Lin Lingsu was still unwilling to be a celebrity around an official. Wealth was his ultimate goal.
Lin Lingsu is also refining elixirs for his father, but as long as the news of Wushi Powder reaches his father, no matter what miraculous elixir Lin Lingsu presents, his father will not dare to take it!
"Okay! This information is great!" Prince Jia Zhao Kai was very satisfied with the timely arrival of the information, and even more satisfied with the fact that the source of the information was his commander-in-chief and deputy commander who had just accepted his fate.
Ximen Qing!
Wu Song!
What makes Zhao Kai even more happy is his original decision!
Now, naturally, I would seize the opportunity, rush into Shangqing Baolu Palace, and catch Lin Lingsu!
King Zhao Kai excitedly wrote a handwritten letter, monogrammed it, and asked someone from the Imperial City Department to bring this order back quickly!
Before the people from the Imperial City came out of Prince Jia's Mansion, they saw a line of black smoke rising into the sky in the distance!
"Where did this go?"
"Gaotou Street is the north of Gaotou Street!"
The servants of Prince Jia's Mansion pointed at the black smoke in the distance and talked about it; but all this did not attract the attention of the messenger from the Imperial City Department, because his current duty was to quickly send the reply from Prince Jia Zhao Kai to
Two gangsters.
Almost at the same time, this black smoke was also observed by Ximen Qing and others. At this time, Wu Song and Shi Qian had returned. The black smoke in the distance made everyone stop chatting and pay attention.
"Is this direction the Shangqing Baolu Palace?" Ximen Qing exclaimed, "Third brother, go up and make sure."
Shi Qian followed the instructions and went up to the roof to observe for a while, then slipped down and said: "It is indeed in the direction of Shangqing Baolu Palace. These Taoist priests must have played with fire by refining medicine and set the house on fire."
"It's not you who lit the fire?" Ximen Qing recalled that in Water Margin, most of this kind of activity was done by Shi Qian.
Hearing this, Shi Qian showed an aggrieved expression, which made Wu Song and Lu Zhishen laugh a little: "Brother, if I had let it go, the scene would have been much bigger than this, wouldn't it?"
Ximen Qing was dumbfounded. Shi Qian didn't have his own instructions, so he naturally wouldn't set off a fire for no reason, so there was only one biggest possibility at the moment.
That is, this fire was not set by others, but by the Taoist priests of Shenxiao Sect themselves!
The purpose is obvious, that is to cover up everything!
As soon as this idea was expressed, it was immediately approved by Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, but there was nothing to do at the moment, and they would probably be burned out by the time they got there.
Since the Taoist priests of the Shenxiao Sect set the fire themselves, the place where the fire started was most likely the alchemy room.
"This Lin Lingsu is so cruel that he dares to burn down a good Shangqing Baolu Palace!" Lu Zhishen sighed: "Now the hatred between the officials and the officials is even deeper. I don't know how many things will happen."
"Lin Lingsu secretly refined the Five Stone Powder, which was not a good intention in the first place." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "This Shangqing Baolu Palace was originally a dojo for him by the officials last time, but now he doesn't even have his own dojo.
I'm afraid it will have to be moved into the forbidden area."
"Even if I don't mess with this kind of person, he will still focus on my Thunder Stone." Ximen Qing then raised the Thunder Stone to indicate: "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will remember you. For this kind of thief,
, are you still afraid of causing trouble?"
After that, Ximen Qing told some important things about sending Zhenren Luo to Yunlong and Gongsun Sheng to teach "Tiangang Five Thunders Zhengfa", which made the arrogant Master Lu envious.
"It turns out to be such a treasure from the Immortal Family. No wonder Lin Lingsu's birds were peeping at it!" Lu Zhishen said: "It is rumored that this person got a copy of "The Jade Book of the Temple of Heaven in the Sky of God", and he respects the thunder method!"
"The fewer people who know about this, the better." Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Master, please keep it a secret."
Lu Zhishen nodded in agreement, turned to look at the black smoke, which was getting bigger and bigger, and sighed: "Now even if Drum Flea has obtained evidence, Shenxiao will send a fire to cover everything up, and no one will be able to pursue it."
I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, at least this matter makes the officials suspicious of Lin Lingsu, that's enough." Ximen Qing laughed and said: "As long as he loses the favor of the officials, Lin Lingsu is just an ordinary person, what's the point?
Is it true?"
The fire also alarmed people in the imperial city's courtyard, as well as inside the forbidden area.
I don’t know how many imperial troops were sent to put out the fire. Of course, the Taoists from the Shenxiao Sect had their own means to ensure that the fire would not be extinguished so easily.
The fire was not gradually extinguished until evening. More than half of the entire Shangqing Baolu Palace was burned down and it was no longer suitable for use as a dojo.
When Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, asked Lin Lingsu about his regrets, the answer he got was that the secret of heaven was leaked while refining the elixir, so this natural disaster came.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Zhao Ji still comforted him with words and set aside an area in the forbidden area for the Shenxiao sect to use as a dojo.
