Shazhao Zhang wanted to come over and talk, but was afraid of Zhu Tong's previous indifference and did not dare to come. Everyone waited silently outside the prison. Liu Xilan was very busy and had been listening to the phone more than ten meters away, occasionally saying a few vague words. Zhu Tong
I only heard a general idea that in the spring, Beijing will hold the Two Sessions and the routine crackdown will begin, and the business of nightclubs will be greatly affected.
Liu Xilan will take this opportunity to select a group of sisters with better quality and send them to the etiquette school for training.
"Second sister, actually you don't need to come. Lawyer Zhang is enough." Zhu Tong waited for her to put away the phone and walked over to thank her.
"How can you not come? Sister Yilan has repeatedly explained that the affairs of Senior Brother Zhu are our Lanhua's business. Master Zhu, a lot of things have happened recently. I am not very familiar with the mainland and I have done something wrong.
Please correct me if there are any mistakes."
Liu Yilan was anxious to fish out Zhu Huai in order to injure the bamboo Taoist priest, but Lanhua's second sister Liu Xilan's words deliberately ignored this premise, focusing entirely on the morality of the world and the relationship between the two factions, as if it was right to help.
Zhu Tong and Zhu Yun exchanged a look. The second sister Lanhua was more capable than Liu Xilan. However, from now on, the relationship between the seventh-grade Zhumen and the eighth-grade Lanhua will not be as close as before. Liu Xilan is more like a professional manager than Liu Xilan.
Yilan lacked a bit of sincerity. Her behavior of personally coming to welcome Senior Brother Zhumen after he was released from prison was very touching. From now on, if Liu Xilan asked Zhumen for help, Zhutong would not be able to refuse no matter how cunning he was.
At nine-thirty, the side door of the prison opened, and Lawyer Zhang handed a piece of paper to the armed police captain on duty in front of the door. Then, Zhu Tong saw his elder brother Zhu Huai.
Zhu Huai is in his forties, and more than three years of prison life have left deep traces on him. He seems to be older, his body is stooped and not as upright as before, and his eyes are somewhat evasive.
Zhu Shan and his junior brother ran over and took the package from their master; Zhu Tong and Zhu Yuncai walked to Zhu Huai.
The three of them stood face to face. Zhu Huai's eyes gradually regained their vitality, and he stretched out his arms to pull the two junior brothers into his arms. In terms of figure, Zhu Huai was the tallest and burliest one.
"Brother, this is the second sister Lanhua. It was she who was running around to fish you out in advance." Zhu Yun introduced Liu Xilan to Zhu Huai.
"Thank you, second sister." Zhu Huai lowered his head and bowed deeply.
"It can't be like this, it can't be like this; this is what it should be." Liu Xilan quickly helped Zhu Huai up and said with a smile: "Get in the car and leave this hellish place and find a place to wash away the bad luck."
"Thank you, Lawyer Zhang." Zhu Huai bowed to Lawyer Zhang again, and she quickly supported him and said polite words.
"Why are they here?" Zhu Huai frowned when he saw Shazhao Zhang and the woman.
The moment the woman saw Zhu Huai, her face turned pale and she opened her mouth to say something. A shiny head poked out from the car behind her, she coughed dryly, and the woman lowered her head.
"Senior brother, do you want to say hello?" Zhu Tong saw this and felt that the relationship between senior brother and this woman was not simple, so he asked softly.
Zhu Huai hesitated and shook his head: "Let's go."
The car started, Zhu Tong sat in the driver's passenger seat, and the two senior brothers sat in the back. When the car passed by the woman, Zhu Huai faced the other side, and Zhu Tong looked into the car and saw the bald man's face clearly.
There were actually two bald heads in Grandma's car, and one of them turned out to be Snow Kuang Monk! Zhu Tong didn't recognize the other one, but Zhu Huai seemed to know him. The moment the two cars missed each other, his eyes kept looking at each other.
Where did the Gu worms on his body go? Today, the Snow Kuang Monk has fully recovered, and it seems that he is even more powerful than before. Zhu Tong thought about it.
The benevolent enjoy the mountains, and the wise enjoy the water. People living in Chongqing have to deal with the mountains and rivers every day, but they have the hottest tempers.
Because he hired a taxi from a taxi company, Zhu Tong couldn't say anything at first. When he separated from Liu Xilan and Lawyer Zhang's car at the Nan'an Bridge and turned into a mountain road, the driver started to complain non-stop.
Zhu Huai had a good temper, Zhu Tong was thinking with his eyes closed, and Zhu Yun was annoyed: "Mom, I paid for your car. You can go wherever you want. If you talk nonsense again, I will take you with me."
The car was lost in the river."
The driver was frightened. Zhu Tong opened his eyes. On the right side, there was indeed a rushing river.
Not long after, the car turned around several hills and reached the end of the road.
"You go ahead. We'll pay for the car. We won't need a car today." Zhu Tong sent the driver back as soon as he got off the car. Zhu Yun felt strange: It was Zhu Tong's idea to rent a car. They had already paid for the car for three days; that's it.
It would be too wasteful to send it away, right?
After the two cars left, Zhu Tong took out his phone.
"Zhu Fei, come to Chongqing immediately. We are at Hongfa Temple in Lion Rock on the South Bank. Time is tight. You don't need to say hello to anyone. I will ask for leave for you."
The person who answered the phone was Living Buddha Suowonda. He was still hesitating, but Zhu Tong said again: "If you don't come, Master, I might not be able to go back."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Tongcai faced Zhu Huai: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Huai already knew that Zhu Tong was the leader of Zhu Sect, so he immediately followed the rules of the master and paid his respects. Zhu Tong quickly leaned over and pulled him up: "Senior Brother, it's not good to be like this, I won't be able to be a leader for a long time."
A few people walked up the stone steps for a few hundred meters, crossed two streams, and a quiet temple appeared in front of them.
There is a pavilion in front of the temple. When you step into the pavilion, you can see the Yangtze River below. As far as the eye can see, the water passes through the green mountains and the green mountains are green. I feel open-minded and relaxed.
The ships coming and going in the river cannot disturb the tranquility here, and the crisp birdsong in the ears makes the tranquility more ethereal. Outside the pavilion, two white magnolia trees are romantic, and light raindrops are sprinkled on the petals, gathering many
It fell silently.
Hongfa Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is close to the Yangtze River. The main building of the temple is not large, with only two entrances from the front and back. However, the Zen room in the backyard is built at the entrance of a stone cave. The entrance of the cave is densely covered with strange stones, and there is a spacious nave inside the cave. In the center, there is a natural Bodhisattva.
Like, this is the root of the incense money of Hongbo Temple.
When Zhu Yun first came, Hongfa Temple was just a dilapidated wild temple. He took over it because of the cleanliness around it. Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered the Dongzhong Temple during the renovation process, so he invested huge sums of money to run it smoothly. Until now, Hongfa Temple
The annual incense fee of the temple is only a few hundred thousand, mainly due to the inconvenient transportation. The incense of another temple on Lion Mountain is much stronger than this one; that is the Buddha Foot Temple, the dojo of the First-grade Golden Buddha. It is said that the Buddha once visited there.
A huge footprint was left on the huge rock inside the temple.
"Second senior brother, how many monks are there in the temple?" After entering Hongfa Temple, Zhu Huai went to bathe and change clothes accompanied by two disciples. Zhu Tongcai asked Zhu Yun.
"In the off-season now, those who need it have gone back to plow the fields, and there are only the hired monk couple and a few children; they are orphans and have nowhere to go."
"Let them go out and hide for a few days, um, three days, and don't come back during these days."
"Okay." Zhu Yun hurried to the backyard to make arrangements. Like Zhu Tong, he also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think as deeply as Zhu Tong did.
At noon, only people from the Zhumen were left in Hongfa Temple. The temple door was closed tightly and a sign saying thank you to guests was hung up.
In the main hall, Zhu Huai put on new clothes, had her hair trimmed, and had a completely new look.
"Senior Brother, I must know the truth of the matter. The more details, the better."
As soon as the three junior brothers finished their meal and drank the wine of rebirth, Zhu Tong sent Zhu Shan and Zhu Hai to be on guard around them. Zhu Huai could feel the tension of the two junior brothers: "I can solve it." He was still hesitating.
"Senior brother, this is no longer your own business." Zhu Tong raised his voice; "You are looking for the Phoenix Bone Ghost Whip, am I right?"
"How did you know?" Zhu Huai looked at Zhu Tong in surprise. This was an extremely secret matter. Zhu Huai never told anyone, and even Zhu Yun didn't know why he killed.
Zhu Tong handed him a photo: "This is the tiger pattern bronze beryllium in Lawyer Zhang's case file. I just guessed that this black stick is very strange. Uncle Zhu Huang was born. He said that the phoenix bone ghost whip is a stick
A black black gold whip, one foot and seven inches long, with nine rings of black jade inlaid in it as the nine palaces. Look, the black stick is the right length, and the black shadows on it seem to be the nine black jade. I can’t tell the material from the photo, but my senior brother has seen it
, is it Xuanjin?”
When Zhu Huai was older and was kicked out of the apprenticeship by the old liar, Zhu Tong had not officially entered the apprenticeship, so he was not very familiar with this junior fellow apprentice. Zhu Tong met Zhu Huai twice after entering the martial arts world. At that time, the little liar mainly
Living in the bustling city, Zhu Huai had the impression that he was a playboy. He was originally a little unconvinced by Zhu Tong as the leader. After hearing what he said and seeing how carefully he arranged the arrangements, he realized that he had underestimated his junior brother:
"Head..."
"Now is not the time to be polite. I want to know why you killed someone."
After all, Zhu Huai is a disciple of the Zhu sect who pays attention to tradition. Zhu Tong has shown the majesty of the leader. He no longer conceals anything and talks about everything that happened a few years ago.
In total, it has been twenty years since Zhu Huai became a disciple; from the first day he entered the martial arts world, Zhu Huai felt the decline of the Zhu Sect and the low level of his own cultivation. He always wanted to find the legendary Phoenix Bone Ghost Whip so that he could fight for it.
May the door grow in popularity.
He followed the footsteps of his great-uncle Zhu Tianyin and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of northern Sichuan and Shaanxi, but he found nothing like his predecessor Zhu Men.
People always have to survive. Zhu Huai finally chose to settle in the cultural relics circle. In addition to making money to live, he also wanted to continue looking for the Phoenix Bone Ghost Whip. However, he never told anyone what he was thinking.
He has been hanging around for more than ten years. With the inhuman training he received from the old liar, Zhu Huai gradually became known as the Golden Eyed Eagle in the cultural relics shop and became an expert in appraising miscellaneous items and bronzes from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Money was earned naturally.
He also gained a lot. Speaking of which, when Zhu Yun first started, he received a lot of support from Zhu Huai.
In that circle, only by buying low and buying high can you make money. It is inevitable that you will come into contact with low-level thieves. Zhu Huai's bad luck began when he met the tomb robber family.
Five years ago, three guests came to Zhu Huai's home on the outskirts of Xi'an. They were introduced by friends and asked him to appraise the value of a batch of goods.
He didn't know at the time that these three people were the famous Deng Xiahei on the road. The batch of things they brought contained more than ten items, the most valuable of which was a gold-inlaid jade Ruyi.
Deng Xia Hei had a regular customer, a big player in the north. As long as they had something, the other party would take it all. Before that, Deng Xia Hei had sold a batch of things to the other party. Three months later, news came from overseas.
One of them actually sold for a sky-high price of 9 million US dollars at auction; what Deng Xiahei regretted was that the price they sold to the other party was only 5,000 yuan.
Zhu Huai valued the gold-inlaid jade Ruyi at 300,000 yuan. This was an artifact given to his ministers by the emperor. The workmanship and material selection were all of the highest quality. If it was a genuine item, it would cost at least 500,000 yuan.
Of course, Zhu Huai also proposed to accept the gold-inlaid jade Ruyi, but Deng Xiahei refused and left the appraisal fee of 50,000 yuan before leaving.
In the next six months, Deng Xiahei kept bringing things to Zhu Huai for appraisal. Sometimes it was two people, sometimes it was one person. Later, there was a tense situation, and the person who came to deliver the goods turned out to be a young girl.
As time went by, the girl came more and more, and gradually got closer and closer to Zhu Huai; one day, the girl sent a golden cicada with Lingnan red beans inlaid in the two eyes.
It rained heavily that night, and the girl stayed behind. Later, Zhu Huai learned the girl's true identity: Jin Chan, the daughter of the leader of the Black family under the lamp.
