Chapter 1040: Dyeing Red Xiang Qingniu couldn't help laughing after listening to Fang's explanation: "Old Niu's nose is still so unpredictable. You asked me to send people to look for him in the barbarian tribes on the grassland. I sent The person who went there found that he had already left. The person who went there didn't know the barbarian language, so he didn't know where Lao Niubi had gone. Thinking about it now, he probably knew that the Mongolian people were going to invade. News, so he followed Brother Meng all the way. He might want to kill Brother Meng Could it be that there are experts around Brother Meng?" He frowned when he said this, and seemed to be confused: "Brother Meng broke up with the Buddha Sect. According to the It's impossible for someone from the Buddhist sect to protect him. The only sect in the Western Regions that can get on the stage besides the Buddhist sect is the Yellow Sect founded by your Sang Sasa. There are no real masters in the Yellow Sect Let the old man Even if Niubi couldn't find a chance to take action, who else could be there?" Fang Jie pondered for a while and said, "The break between the Fo Sect and the Kuoke Taimeng family has passed. This Mongol Yuan expedition may not be without people from the Fo Sect behind it. Push. Once there is a conflict of interests, there are never eternal enemies." "Buddha" Xiang Qingniu thought for a while: "We killed Da Zizi in Liuzhou, and the other three Tianzun were already dead. , King Dalun Ming died in your hands, is there any other great person in the Buddhist sect?" Fang explained: "Don't you think it's a little strange that we killed Da Zizuo in Liuzhou that day?" Xiang Qingniu hummed: " It's true that Da Zizuo's cultivation is obviously not as strong as expected. Is it fake?" Fang Jie said: "Anyway, with your senior brother at Lingmen Pass, even if he can't kill Brother Meng, at least he can't. The practitioners around me don¡¯t want to assassinate the guards of Lingmen Pass. You don¡¯t have to worry about these things now. Contact the temple leaders of the Dao Sect temples as soon as possible.¡± Wu Yiyi said from the side: ¡°It¡¯s best to rush to the main hall of the Lord. On that day, all the temple masters from the Taoist sect gathered together, plus the sect masters from other sects, it was a grand event. On the day when the Lord was crowned king, all the sects in the world came to congratulate him, and the momentum was huge. Calling it out will be the most beneficial for future actions." He glanced at Fang Jie and saw that Fang Jie had no objection and then continued: "I will discuss with Dugu later to postpone the ceremony." "If you don't count those things. There are only so many small temples, and it only takes two or three months to invite the most famous Taoist temple owners, but" Xiang Qingniu looked at Fang Jie: "Do you have the intention to stay in Chang'an City for such a long time? How long? If you don't personally direct the war in the northwest, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease." Fang Jie said with a smile: "The war with Meng Yuan can be left to the generals below. I didn't worry about the Yunnan Road at the beginning. Wasn't it all left to Chen Dingnan and Chen Bishan? Later, Chen Dingnan became ill, and it was Chen Dingnan who not only wiped out the remaining Nanyan people, but also drove the He people into the depths of the jungle. At least a hundred miles. I heard that hearing the name of Chen Dingnan can stop children from crying at night. "Wu Daodao smiled and said: "My lord can't do everything by himself. There are fierce troops in the northwest. Although this person is familiar with the northwest. He didn't have a boat and thought about how it could be easy to get to Yishui. As for the south, Yan Zeng is guarding Lingmen Pass, and veteran Liu Enjing is leading the troops to support him. In addition, Du Dingbei is setting up defenses along the Qinhe River. The three of them have no less than 100,000 troops. Lingmen Pass is the most dangerous place in the world. Hell, what if Brother Meng personally leads the troops? " "Besides, the Lord has just entered Chang'an City and must stabilize it. These few months are just enough time to sort out everything. After the king's ceremony, the lord will leave enough manpower to guard Chang'an City, and it will not be too late to go on a personal expedition. " Fang Jie really couldn't stay in Chang'an City. His thoughts were on the war in the west and east. Nalan Dingdong led one hundred thousand people to fight in the eastern Xinjiang. The life and death of those one hundred thousand men hung on the head of the sword. Although there are many troops rushing to help from various places in Eastern Xinjiang, they do not trust each other. It is not easy for Mu Guangling to coordinate the war with Meng Yuan. Fang Jie always wants to go to meet Meng Yuan in person. Brother. ¡°I have already sent someone to send an invitation as a Taoist priest, and those temple masters should give me some respect. Xiang Qingniu said: "Just try to get them here within two months. Things in Chang'an City really need to be dealt with. Two or three months may not be enough to get everything done." Even if you are worried about the war situation with the Meng Yuan people, you have to stabilize the rear first. Even someone like me who doesn't understand military affairs knows that if the rear is not stable, the front cannot fight. Fang Jie nodded: "Then it depends on you. There are several Taoist temples in Chang'an City that are quite famous." However, when King Yi Yang Yin caused chaos, he followed him and destroyed it. You can let the few who came with you to be the masters of Yiqi Temple, which can be regarded as a share. " Xiang Qingniu's eyes lit up: "Hey why didn't I think of this wickedness No, this wonderful method? When all Taoist sects gather together, they will definitely?Choose a new Taoist priest. My Taoist title was conferred by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but now it has no practical significance. If I let those guys choose, they would naturally bully me because I am young and innocent, and they would probably choose Zhang Yiyang, the old guy from Wudang Mountain. " "I will send a few more people to be the temple masters. When the time comes, we will make up the numbers. When choosing, it will be one person, one vote. If we take up all the Taoist temples in Chang'an City, that is quite a few votes. " He turned around with a smile: "Whether it's me or Xiao Yijiu who makes this Dao Zun, even if it's done by Mr. Zhuo, it can't fall into the hands of those guys in Wudang Mountain. " He strode out: "I will send people to seize the territory right now! " Liu Zhongyi, the head of Xiao'an, Xiao'an, Xiao'an, was sitting in a chair uneasily. As for the lid of the teacup, he was "invited" to drink tea by people from the Xiao Riding School. After entering, someone actually served him tea, but after that, no one paid attention to him anymore. The team's riding school passed by, and there were several prisoners in each team. It was not known who they were arresting. After waiting for almost half an hour, someone from outside came in with a smile. Some people must remember his appearance after just one look at him, so when he saw this person coming in, he immediately stood up, walked quickly over and saluted with fists in his hands: "I am a humble Liu Zhong, and I am paying tribute to Lord Du Tong. " It was Chen Xiaoru who came in. He stretched out his hand to help Liu Zhong, smiled and said, "I should say thank you first for inviting Mr. Liu here despite his busy schedule. "How dare you Lord Du Tong just gives you direct orders when you have something to do. No one in a humble position dares to disobey." " Chen Xiaoru smiled and said: "There is nothing else, it is not just some trivial matters within our responsibilities Recently, some rogues in Chang'an City blew up their nest for no reason, and my people have been busy for a while. More than 300 gangsters, big and small, were arrested and more than 2,000 were killed on the spot. " Chen Xiaoru said: "These blind things, if you can't see clearly at this moment, they are all idiots. Liu Captou is most familiar with Chang'an City. The security of Chang'an City is also thanks to the protection of conscientious people like you, otherwise it would be even more chaotic. I invite you here because I want you to help identify the captured underworld leaders. After all, I have not been in Chang'an City for several years, and some people are no longer familiar with them. " After he said this, Liu Zhong suddenly remembered that this important figure in front of the Duke of Zhen was once a member of the Imperial Guards Department. When he thought of the vicious methods of those in the Imperial Guards Department, Liu Zhong suddenly remembered Zhong's palms began to sweat. "My lord, just do your best. However Baili Chang'an is a bit too big, and those scoundrels may not all be under the rule of low-ranking officials. There are twelve arrests in Chang'an Mansion, and low-ranking officials are only one of them. If it is someone who is under the rule of Beiji, Beiji can still try his best to identify it. If it's a low-level job outside the government, I'll have to trouble you to invite other arresters to come over. " "No, no, no. " Chen Xiaoru shook his head: "There are not twelve arrests in Chang'an Mansion now. If you are included, there are still three. Nine of them were taken away by people from my Riding School at the same time today because they had shady connections with people in the underworld. Capt. Liu should have seen it when he was sitting here just now. Those people were being led into the cell and had to pass by here Could it be that Capt. Liu didn't see it just now? " "Look I saw it" Liu Zhong subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "It's just I didn't expect" Chen Xiaoru's words were so shocking that even a man like him couldn't bear it. Come on, the twelve gangsters in Chang'an Prefecture are local gangsters. The entire underworld in Chang'an Prefecture is actually controlled by these twelve people. If the Xiaoqiu School can take down nine of them, they can naturally take him down, because there are twelve of them. No one is clean. Now that he can stand in front of Chen Xiaoru and talk, it is obvious that the other party wants him to do something, and it is not just as simple as identifying some rogues. "I heard that Capt. Liu is a man of temperament. There is also a house over there in Yanliu Lane, where the beauty is hidden in a golden house. That little beauty is doing her best, she has already given birth to a son for you, right? I had tea with the shopkeeper of Yongcheng Bank two days ago, and he told me that many officials kept large sums of money with him, and the sum totaled was extremely staggering. There's something you may not know, and not many people in Chang'an City know Yongcheng Bank is actually an industry that sells goods all over the world. " Chen Xiaoru patted Liu Zhong on the shoulder: "You and I are both members of the public family. What we do is to maintain law and order. Naturally, I asked Capt. Liu to come here because I wanted to share some of the credit with you. The Duke of Guo just entered the city. Those who have done something wrong will be punished, and those who have made merit will naturally be rewarded Now I give you a choice. " Chen Xiaoru walked to the chair and sat down. He crossed his legs and straightened his clothes: "The first way, you now??Go out and follow my men to identify those scoundrels. After identifying them, I will ask my men to make a room for you in the next cell. The food at the Riding School is pretty good, but I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it. The second way is, help me 'identify' another group of people. Once you identify them, I'll pretend I don't know about the Yanliu Lane incident, and I'll pretend I don't know the money from the Yong'an bank account. " "grown ups! "Liu Zhong opened his mouth, full of bitterness. "Come, please first ask Capt. Liu to identify the person, and invite Capt. Zhao to come in and talk. I have to go to Changchun Garden to see the Duke of Guo in a while, and I don't have much time. " Chen Xiaoru waved his hand and ordered. " Two knights from the riding school came in, grabbed Liu Captou's arm and pulled him out. Liu Zhong was extremely frightened, but he also understood one thing in an instant. The riding school arrested ten Of the nine arrested men, these three are the ones who have the closest relationship with Chang'an Prefecture. If he doesn't tell the truth, Chen Xiaoru will force the other two to tell him, and he will probably die. It¡¯s uglier than other arrests. ¡°Sir¡± Liu Zhong knelt down with a plop: ¡°Sir, can you keep my family safe? " Chen Xiaoru stood up and walked over slowly, put his hand on Liu Zhong's shoulder and said word by word: "I will give you a chance by using you. The Xiao Riding School has no intention of paying attention to those rogues. You still have to raise a few local snakes. If you do Okay, here's one of them. As for the safety of your whole family As long as you say what you need to say, how many people will the Duke still worry about killing? When they are dead, what do you have to worry about? Besides, if you help the Riding School, who dares to touch you It¡¯s not just me, the Riding School, who is provoking me, but also the Duke of the country. After finishing speaking, he walked out slowly: "To tell you the truth, Capt. Zhao and Capt. Sun have already been recruited. It's good to have one more of you, but it's okay to have one less of you." I will send someone to your house in a while to tell you that you will not be able to come back because you are busy with official duties tonight. If I see a few pieces of white paper tomorrow morning there will always be something staining it red. "
