Qingxu's thoughts are very simple, and he has done so many things for the emperor. Now the dog Baiyunguan is in trouble, and the dog owner cannot stand idly by. A boss who is not interesting enough will not have a younger brother who is interesting enough. If Baiyunguan really fails,

Damn it, the emperor's request cannot be met.

Daoxuan fell into silence. The emperor is his last trump card. If you have nothing to do, you must not trouble the emperor. It is only natural that the emperor sends you to do things. If you think the emperor should be grateful or give you something in return, then you should too

It should be lying down in the soil.

Unless absolutely necessary, you must not approach the emperor.

"You guys go out, Pindao, think about it again." Daoxuan put his hand on his forehead, feeling very headache.

While Qingxu was talking to Daoxuan, Li Xiao was also listening to Xie Youcai's report.

The fact that the emperor asked Baiyun Guan to make alchemy was definitely a core secret in the palace. Anyone who was not a high-ranking official like Xu Xianchun would not have heard of it at all. Therefore, even though the fifth master had been in the capital for such a long time, he had not been able to find out.

"Is that what Xu Xianchun said?" Li Xiao was a little surprised. It turned out that it was true that the emperor was good at making elixirs. I thought it was a legend before, but I didn't expect that some people really eat women's menstrual blood. It's so disgusting!

"That's what he said!" Xie Youcai looked at Fifth Master.

"I asked people in the palace to inquire, but I couldn't find out anything. However, Sun Yunhe from Dongchang revealed the news to us. Baiyunguan has a close relationship with Lord Long Live. He didn't say whether it was alchemy or not." The fifth master went out to inquire.

After a day, I got this piece of useful information. It can be seen that this matter is extremely confidential even in the palace.

"The eight achievements are true. Sun Yunhe should have been sent by Wei Zhongxian to deliver the message. It seems that Nine Thousand Years Old still thinks highly of adults." Ai Husheng looked at Li Xiao's face and said.

"Hmph! It's still nine thousand years old when the power is overwhelming. Do you think the imperial power allows others to split? Wei Zhongxian has so much power. This is the emperor using him to suppress the Donglin Party. Now that the Donglin Party has declined, Wei Zhongxian's family is the only one.

The imperial power will not allow such a thing to happen. Perhaps, we are the force that the emperor will support in the future.

Okay, let’s not talk about this matter. They are all things in the future. Now let’s talk about the immediate things. I must cut off the cancer of Baiyun Temple. But now that Long Live Lord is involved, we can’t do things recklessly. We have to

Find a way and let others do it for us."

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult...! Baiyunguan is also quite powerful in the capital, not to mention its relationship with the royal family. It also has a very good relationship with the adults in power in the court. If you have nothing to do, I will do a ritual for this family and that one.

We set up a dojo at home. Not only do we collect money, but we also save a lot of favors." Mr. Wu said with some embarrassment.

Li Xiao knew that Baiyunguan still had some influence in the capital, but there was nothing he could do about it. People these days believed in this. He didn't believe it, but he couldn't stop others from believing it. After all, politics is too mysterious. Officials just think about it.

With the help of external forces, the immortals without beards and shadows are naturally the most suitable as spiritual pillars.

On the ground of this capital city, not only Taoism is prosperous, but also Buddhism, there are crowds of cars and horses in front of the door. I heard that in the first month of the year, the price of the incense sticks on the Xishan Reclining Buddha Temple has risen to 3,000 taels of silver. Just like this, it is still an official

Our patent. Merchants, don’t even think about taking a look at it.

"That's because you don't understand what it means to mobilize the masses. Xie Youcai, bring me all the storytellers from Tianqiao tonight. Fifth Master, you go to Master Man. Let Master Man do this, do this, do this...!"

The fifth master was a little confused at first, but the more he listened, the more his eyes widened. Finally, he looked straight at Li Xiao, wondering what kind of brain was this, how could he come up with such a solution.

Tianqiao! Drinking and flag-playing in Tianqiao City makes many tourists forget their homes.

Every day, various artists draw pots on the ground here, some perform jugglers, some sing operas, some draw bows and shoot arrows, and some play diabolo, dance forks, and climb poles. Every day, there are thousands of tourists here.

, and there are many teahouses where storytellers stand and talk about storytelling.

Zhang Qi, the boss who sells silk and satin, and Chen Jiu, the boss who sells cloth shoes, came to a teahouse where they usually drink tea. As soon as they entered the door, the waiter greeted them with a smile: "Here you two, let's have something to drink today. New arrival from the south."

Shifeng Longjing, we just arrived yesterday, don’t you want to try it?” Seeing that he was a regular customer, the waiter enthusiastically started to sell it. He would say this a hundred and eighty times a day, and he had been trained to be extremely pure.

The muscles on the face all work together just right. It’s perfect!

"Okay! Bring a pot, and you'll have some refreshments. I like listening to Mr. Yuan's storytelling. Yesterday I talked about "Three Kingdoms" and talked about Cao Cao taking the Huarong Road. Mr. Yuan gave up Yuzi at the critical moment. Brother, I spent the night thinking about it.

It's heart-breaking." After giving instructions to the waiter, Zhang Qi told Chen Jiu about yesterday's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"That's right! Brother, I have been upset all night, and I just want to hear what Mr. Yuan has to say today. Did Cao Aman rush over, and did Mr. Guan kill him?" Chen Jiu spoke a little loudly.

Cao Aman was suddenly called Cao Aman.

The two of them found an empty table and sat down. As soon as the tea was served, they heard shouts from inside the hall. They looked up and saw Mr. Yuan coming out on the stage and bowed his hands to the tea guests in the audience.

"Everywhere in life, we know how it is, it should be like a flying dragon stepping on snow and mud.

Occasionally, there are fingers and claws left on the mud, and Hongfei is counting the things.

The old monk has died and a new pagoda has been built, and the ruined walls cannot see the old inscriptions.

Do you still remember the rugged past, when the road was long and people were trapped and the donkeys neighed?" After reading four lines of the opening poem, Mr. Yuan gave a good shot. There was a roar of applause from the bottom!

"Today we are not talking about books, but about a true story." When Mr. Yuan spoke, everyone was stunned.

"Buzz!" The crowd immediately exploded. Everyone is here to listen to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". What kind of story are you telling? I waited all night yesterday and was just waiting to hear whether the Second Master Guan killed Cao Cao today. Now let's talk about it.

Real facts, who listens!

"Everyone! Let me tell you this matter. I guarantee that everyone is willing to listen. Let's listen to Yuan Mou.

It is said that there is a village outside Xibian Gate called Baiyun Villa. Almost all the men in Sijiu City know that it is the Gold Selling Cave, where the joke is. Two days ago, General Li, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, came to take a rest and went to Baiyun Villa.

Drink tea.

In the meantime, his brother knocked over a tea cup, guess what?"

The audience below were still whispering "buzz" and "buzz" to each other, describing the dissatisfaction of the Three Kingdoms who could not hear anything. Tuo, who had been prepared for a long time, looked around and immediately shouted: "What's wrong?"

"Just for that small teacup, Baiyun Villa extorted Mr. Li a thousand taels of silver."

As soon as Mr. Yuan said this, the crowd immediately became quiet. I was often bullied by officials, and everyone loved to hear the stories of officials who were bullied.

"Mr. Yuan, please don't talk nonsense. Do you know that although General Li is young, he is a fierce general. The Tatars in Liaodong were defeated by him. I heard that the formation killed more than 10,000 people.

The head and token of the Tatar flag leader have been returned. My eldest son is in the Ministry of War. When he came home, he said that this victory was a real victory. There was absolutely no taking credit!" A long-bearded old man was somewhat dissatisfied.

shouted.

"Fourth Master Wu, please be patient! Mr. Li is the one who leads the troops. How could he suffer such a loss? When he asked his brother to get the money, he mobilized his troops and surrounded the Baiyun Villa. Those black men

Each and every one of the scheming thugs had their legs broken. The Baiyun Villa was even smashed to pieces."

"Okay! He's a man!" A shout of approval suddenly sounded from below. Although I hate officials, I also like bloody men.

"Not only that, but the maids and maids who suffered so much secretly revealed the shocking secrets of Baiyun Villa!" When Mr. Yuan said this, he paused deliberately.

At this time, even Zhang Qi and Chen Jiu put down their tea cups and listened carefully to what was going on in Baiyun Villa.

"It makes sense that Baiyun Villa buys beautiful girls all the year round. After you sell your body, even the family members have nothing to do with it. But do you know? Baiyun Villa also buys beautiful girls all the year round.

, there are also people from beggar gangs who conspire to rob people. Some are tied up in secluded places, and some take a fancy to people during the day, sneak into their homes at night, use incense to stun them, and steal them.

No matter if you are our lady or the little girl's Jasper, when you arrive at Baiyun Villa, you will live a life worse than a pig or a dog. The amount of money you earn in a day does not match your intentions. It is like picking up a stick and beating it with a pickaxe handle with thick arms.

Zi Leng said there were seven or eight pieces on sale.

What’s even more cruel is that they also colluded with Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple to make elixirs with the girl’s blood, and more than a dozen bones were dug out of just one dry well.”

"Fuck! My second aunt's cousin was abducted by Hanako the year before last. Could it be that Baiyun Villa did it too?" There was a "bang" from below, and a person stood up and shouted loudly.

"Brother Qi, don't worry, we've got it straight. Baiyunguan is not to be trifled with!" Chen Jiu quickly grabbed Zhang Qi's sleeve and pulled it down.

"That's right, Baiyun Temple is in the west where Daoxuan master meditates. Mr. Yuan, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have for arranging Baiyun Villa like this?" Another person stood up from below.

"Ha! Ha! If you don't believe it, you can go to the gate of Baiyun Villa to see the recovered body of the girl, and the woman who was abducted but not killed yet came forward to give her own account. If you don't tell me, you don't know, it turns out that there is still such a world hidden in our capital.

Devil's Cave."

"Lao Jiu, you drink. Brother, I'll go take a look!" After hearing Mr. Yuan's words, Zhang Qi stood up and left.

"There are many people taking pictures of flowers in the capital. If there is a girl missing, you can go to Baiyun Villa to look for her." Mr. Yuan's voice came from behind.

Five or six more people walked out of the teahouse, and then people left the teahouse in groups and headed towards the west gate. Although it was a cold spring, it could not stop the burning fire of Bagua in people's hearts. At the feet of the emperor, the most virtuous area. Surprisingly

It is simply unheard of for something like this to happen. If you don’t watch this excitement, it will be even more uncomfortable than if you don’t listen to the Three Kingdoms.

After a while, only a few people left in the teahouse.

Mr. Yuan cupped his hands at the shopkeeper, smiled and said "Goodbye!" and left the teahouse under the escort of two strong men.

Today, stories like this are taking place in dozens of teahouses. At first, the people walking towards the West Bianmen were just in groups, but soon they became a dense crowd, like a flowing river, or like they had found a huge

Food ants swarm forward.

Early in the morning, Man Gui had people put the salvaged corpses into glass cabinets and put them at the entrance of Baiyun Villa. Before noon, people came over one after another to watch the excitement. On the temporary platform, a maid was sobbing and recounting

My own experience. The maid whose legs were crippled by the beating still stayed in that room and was visited by people as if she were a baby.

Seeing living people being tortured until they were like skinny skeletons, everyone covered their noses, and some young people even clenched their fists. I don’t know who threw a few copper brothers in, and then someone else threw them in. All morning

, the ground is actually covered with copper coins. If you exchange them for silver coins, you can get three, five or seven taels.

"God damn Baiyun Villa, damn black slaves. Baiyun Temple is so powerful that this little girl has no place to redress her grievances. All young and old men, let me make the decision!" The woman cried as she spoke, her shoulders constantly sobbing. There were tears in her eyes.

Even if it is shallow, I will shed tears along with it.

The whole day, the flow of people in front of the door never stopped. The woman also sat in the house and cried the whole day.

Rumors in the capital spread faster than the wind. The next day, the story of Baiyun Villa's robbery of people spread. More people came to Baiyun Villa to visit, and it was unknown where Mangui found the people.

There were also specially painted portraits of thugs beating the maids. The thugs were all painted with ferocious looks. The maids were all delicate, weak, and pitiful.

Mangui also specially asked the abducted women to take turns to come on stage to tell the story of their abduction and how they were persecuted at Baiyun Villa.

"Daughter!" A disfigured maid cried out sadly, and suddenly a heartbreaking voice came from below. Then, a thin woman in her thirties or forties climbed onto the high platform on her hands and knees.

.

"Daughter! Why have you become like this? You were so beautiful when you were a child. You have been here these past few years. Your father and I went to Jimen to look for you." The woman cried, holding the girl in her arms.

He didn't let go of his burned face. His clothes were wet with tears in an instant!

"Mom! I refused to accept guests, so they burned me with a soldering iron. I was so cruel that I smashed my face into the soldering iron." After the girl finished speaking, she got into her mother's arms. Her miserable cry was heartbreaking.

There were tens of thousands of people watching at this time, but not even a cough could be heard. If there was any sound, it was the sound of the mother and daughter sobbing together.

"Damn you bastard, the government doesn't care if I help you. Tell me where those beasts are. I'll fight for them!" The thin little woman cried and suddenly stopped crying. Her thin body suddenly burst into flames.

The majestic murderous aura and eyes that choose and devour others are like those of a tigress.

"Mother! They are all hiding in Baiyunguan. Baiyunguan has a strong influence and the government does not dare to take it. Mother, I am not going to get married in this life. I will live by your side. Compared with those sisters who were beaten to death,

I'm already much luckier. I don't know how many sisters who died in vain are buried in the slope behind."

"Fuck it, the king's laws don't concern us. If you think you're a capable old man, just follow me and go to Baiyun Temple." A tall man suddenly shouted, and then led the people towards Baiyun Temple.
