Chapter 190 There is a hidden story
The emperor made up his mind to send an imperial envoy to Yibin immediately to clarify the situation for him. He immediately stood up and said goodbye to go out to arrange business.
When Shi's son saw the emperor's bold arrangements, he was dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago he and a group of ministers were still celebrating, and in the blink of an eye the emperor ordered an imperial envoy to go to Yibin to express condolences to Zhao Qier, and even wanted to pair him with two beautiful concubines?
Damn, the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not listen to them and acted on their own. They are a family. He stood there in a daze.
The emperor was displeased and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Where is my Minister of War? The northern barbarians are about to cross the river, why don't you cross the river quickly to lead the fight against the Mongols?"
Shi's son seemed to be struck by lightning and immediately came to his senses. After asking for soldiers and money, he went back to plan his business trip.
Zhao Yulin was sorting out his old notes in the study. He was not a clairvoyant nor a clairaudient, and he was so upset that he never expected that the emperor would send an imperial envoy to bring him a beautiful woman.
Guard captain Geng Feihu came in happily and said that the head of Emei had come to see the young master.
He was a little puzzled. How did the head lady of Emei know that he was back?
Zhao Yulin stood up and went out to greet them, but the headmistress and her eldest disciple had already arrived at the door.
He accompanied the guest to the study and sat down. The headmistress said straight away that she was invited by the chief steward of Jiading and asked Zhao Yulin to stretch out his hand to take his pulse.
Zhao Yulin stretched out his hand in front of . The headmistress gently placed two fingers on it, then immediately moved away. Later, she pressed two fingers on it again to carefully feel the pulse.
Zhao Yulin asked her with a smile, what's the matter?
Are you worried about poison or electric shock?
The headmistress did not respond to him. After asking about the circumstances of his injury, she said that she would need to think carefully before administering the medicine and that he would need to stay in the mansion for some time.
Of course Zhao Yulin expressed his gratitude. Since the other party had come all the way to take his pulse and treat his illness, it was natural that he would stay as long as he wanted.
He asked the captain of the guard to take the housekeeper to arrange accommodation for him.
As soon as I sat down in the study, Lu Youpeng came in hurriedly. He said, "It's the chief steward. I feel dizzy. What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
Lao Lu took the tea bowl given to him by the captain of the guard, took a sip of water and said: He arranged for Xiao Shen to go to Chengdu, and this man reviewed the case files of the Qu family once, and was assassinated to death that night. The water in Chengdu is too deep.
Zhao Yulin was shocked. Xiao Shen was a capable officer of Shunfeng Office and was appointed as the chief intelligence officer of Jiading Prefecture. He immediately became alert, put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked the guard to call Qu Tao.
Lao Lu said angrily that it seemed like he had to take action himself. He would never forgive anyone who dared to attack the people of the Shenwei Army.
Damn it, who is this person?
He showed no mercy and killed his beloved general.
Zhao Yulin also felt that this matter was too sinister.
After Qu Tao came in, Zhao Yulin said: The person sent by Master Lu to Chengdu was assassinated just after he checked her family's case files. The matter is definitely not simple. He hoped that she would recall the whole process of the Qu family's misfortune and provide Master Lu with as many clues as possible.
When Qu Tao heard that all the members of the Shenwei Army were killed by criminals, he opened his mouth in shock.
Zhao Yulin reminded her not to miss any details, such as whether there was someone who secretly loved her and she rejected him?
Is there anyone who has an affair with her sister-in-law, trying to steal her wife, steal her money, or kill her?
Because her sister-in-law is not in prison at the moment.
When Qu Tao heard him say this, she blushed and said angrily, "How could a lady from a wealthy family do such shameful things?"
Zhao Yulin covered his mouth and coughed twice, then wiped his mouth with a towel and smiled, saying that he had no other intentions and was just sticking to the facts in order to avoid detours and solve the case as soon as possible.
He asked the guards to send Qu Tao back.
Lao Lu smiled and said that his brother was also anxious and was arguing with the girl about everything.
He coughed and said, "Brother Shunfeng, it is definitely not appropriate for the lady to ask about these bad things, but there are all kinds of things in this world, especially for wealthy businessmen like them, these bad things are often fatal."
He told Lao Lu that it would be better to send Dongmei. Lao Lu could not go because she would be too conspicuous and as soon as she showed up, it would be known that the Shenwei Army had intervened.
Dongmei is bold and careful. She is Wu Yuqi's maid. She has been training with Yuqi in Guanzhong for many years and has experience in lurking in Chang'an City. With the help of experts from the action camp in secret investigations, she should be safe.
Lao Lu nodded and said that he was worried that Dongmei’s martial arts skills were poor and if they were exposed, it would harm her.
While the two were still discussing, the captain of the guards outside the house shouted: Young Master, Steward Li is back.
Zhao Yulin and Lu Youpeng stood up immediately after hearing the noise outside. Then they saw Aunt Li and a tall man wearing a mask and dressed as a knight walked in.
Lu Youpeng immediately smiled and asked the guard to serve tea.
Aunt Li smiled awkwardly and said, Yuqi asked us to come and see my brother.
When Zhao Yulin saw the mighty man, he guessed it was Yuqi's father Hu Yidao.
This man has been traveling around the world for many years. Even at his old age, he is still very powerful and has the air of being the best in the world. The guards in the mansion don't know the situation, so they are naturally on high alert and inevitably have conflicts with him.
Zhao Yulin knew what his mother-in-law meant, and smiled at Hu Yidao, motioning him to go to the inner room. He entered the room, closed the door, and took off his shirt with his back to Hu Yidao.
Hu Yidao was also surprised when he saw a fist-sized bruise on Zhao Yulin's vest. It had not disappeared after such a long time. He took Zhao Yulin's left hand and felt his pulse. After a long time, he said that Zhao Yulin's heart pulse was disturbed. He could only suppress it with his internal force, but could not remove the lesion.
Zhao Yulin had been feeling his blood boiling and his mind was restless these days, so he guessed about 80% of the answer.
The two came out and after listening to Hu Yidao's analysis of the patient's condition, he said that life and death were determined by fate and it didn't matter. He picked up the teacups and invited everyone to have tea.
Lao Lu became anxious and said that Shunfeng had already sent a letter to the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Yangzi, who might be able to solve the problem.
Hu Yidao said arrogantly, "What can that ox-nosed guy do?" The Tai Chi he became famous for was from my son-in-law. Don't be afraid, my son-in-law can also alleviate his condition by practicing Tai Chi, but the pure Yang Qi in his body is too strong, and to cure it, he needs to practice with pure Yin Qi. Another thing is that the unique acupuncture method of Dali Tianlong Temple may be effective.
Damn, after hearing Hu Yidao's reasoning, Zhao Yulin felt that every move was rare and precious. Where could he find pure yin energy to practice with, and how could he ask the master from Tianlong Temple to clear the meridians?
There's nothing I can do.
There is no other way but to accept it.
Zhao Yulin had a bit of a strange temper. He smiled and said, "As long as I'm not going to die, it doesn't matter."
Hu Yidao glared and said, "What's the big deal about life and death? If my good son-in-law is gone, what will happen to my daughter?"
I can live well with my pure Yang internal energy.
At this time, Aunt Li spoke up: "Yidao, what are you trying to do? You are all thinking of a solution."
Hu Yidao immediately shut his mouth.
Aunt Li said, Master Jueming is here, he should be able to find a way.
Zhao Yulin thanked his mother-in-law for her concern and said that he would take some time to go to Xinshi Town to find his master, as he now had an important matter that required the help of the two elders.
He asked Lao Lu to tell him about Qu Tao's family case.
When Hu Yidao heard that the thieves had assassinated Xiao Shen of the Shenwei Army, he was also angry and was about to go to Chengdu to handle the case. Aunt Li glared at him and said that the important matter that Yuqi had entrusted him had not been done yet, and his father-in-law immediately shut up again.
Zhao Yulin was also surprised when he looked at the couple. It was really like one thing conquers another, and one person controls another.
He asked Lao Lu to plan carefully and send more capable people.
Lu Youpeng's idea was that Yu Yangzi was coming anyway, and Chengdu was right under the nose of the Qingcheng Sect, so he might as well let them inquire openly to attract the thieves' attention, while they continued to investigate secretly in a convenient place. With both approaches working together, there would definitely be a breakthrough.
Zhao Yulin nodded and said that since Lord Ding had doubts, there must be something hidden. If we solve the case and bring justice to the world, we may even be able to recover the lost gold and silver to replenish our military funds.
Everyone nodded continuously, and Lao Lu took them to a place with favorable winds to make plans.
At night, Hu Yidao helped Zhao Yulin practice martial arts to heal his injuries. The two of them worked until midnight. Hu Yidao used his pure Yang Qi to suppress the scattered Qi in Zhao Yulin's body, and sighed that Zhao Yulin's skills were very profound.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Zhao Yulin, saying that he only had Yuqi as his daughter and he owed her his whole life and she must treat him well.
Zhao Yulin readily agreed, thinking that this was a man known as a murderer, but in front of his wife and daughter he showed chivalry, tenderness and kindness.
He said that dad just needs to protect my mom, and we will all be fine.
The old man said proudly that it was natural, he just didn't like Zhao Yulin having too many women. He had been in the martial arts world for more than ten years, and there were countless beauties chasing after him, but he only stayed with Yuqi's mother.
Finally, he sighed and said: You're lucky, kid! Then he turned and walked out.
Zhao Yulin felt a little embarrassed listening to Hu Yidao's nagging, and told Geng Feihu to prepare water for bathing.
Zhao Yulin woke up from a good sleep and Lu Youpeng told him that Dongmei had already taken Hu Yidao and others to Chengdu.
Zhao Yulin nodded and said cautiously that it seemed the water was indeed very deep and that more intelligence stations would have to be set up in Chengdu in the future.
At this time, the head of Emei came in. The headmistress went straight over to feel his pulse. As soon as she put two fingers on it, her face showed joy, and she said in surprise that a flow of true energy was suppressed.
Zhao Yulin laughed and said that there must be a way.
The head lady said that it was only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. Over time, the internal Qi in the body would increase and decrease and backlash would occur, which would be extremely dangerous.
He laughed loudly after hearing this, and said that one should live one day at a time and do the best in the present. Then, a hearty laugh could be heard from the gate of the yard.
Zhao Yulin went out and saw that it was Yu Yangzi who arrived. Lu Youpeng invited him to sit in the living room.
Yu Yangzi and Zhao Yulin were old acquaintances. He reached out to feel Zhao Yulin's pulse and was as surprised as the head of Emei. Hey, he actually got it right.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said that it was temporarily suppressed and nothing was wrong. He asked Lu Youpeng to tell the story of the Chengdu Qu family jewelry case and asked Yu Yangzi to help.
Yu Yangzi readily accepted the order, saying that it was right outside his Qingcheng Sect's doorstep, and it was his duty to handle the case. After the two sides discussed it, Yu Yangzi took out a golden pill and gave it to him, saying that it had the effect of regulating qi and harmonizing the middle, accumulating merit and strengthening yang, and that the young master might as well try it.
He was not polite either. He accepted the gift, thanked her, and sent Yu Yangzi out.
