Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 73: Ranked 4th

After waiting for another stick of incense, the steward hurried out of the mansion and said to Xu Zun and the others:
"You two, please come in!"
Seeing that he was approved, Xu Zun smiled with satisfaction and stepped into the Marquis' Mansion.
Gurgle...
Zhao Yuze swallowed his saliva and first looked up at the towering gate of the Marquis' Mansion with a timid look on his face.
Then, he followed Xu Zun in...
At the same time.
At a distance from the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Wu Zheng, Ran Lin and others were all very surprised to see that Xu Zun and the others were actually allowed to enter the Marquis' Mansion.
But they don’t know what Xu Zun said to the manager?
"Boss," one of his soldiers asked, "They've all gone in. Do we still need to wait for them?"
"Tsk tsk..." Ran Lin originally stood up and wanted to leave, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he said to the soldier, "I'd better wait a little longer! Go and tell our captain first. I always feel that this Tangzhou judge has some ill intentions!"
"Yes!" The soldier immediately mounted his horse and returned to the camp to report the news.
Needless to say, the mansion is magnificent, with its carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and terraces, which are always breathtakingly beautiful even in the cold winter.
But as soon as Xu Zun and Zhao Yu entered, before they had time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, their attention was attracted by a person who came to greet them.
This person was wearing Bagua robes, a purple gold crown on his head, and holding a green dustpan in his hand. He was actually a Taoist priest!
But this man had star-like eyebrows and sword-like eyes, a Taoist and immortal look, and he didn't look very old, but his eyebrows were all white!
Damn it!
Xu Zun sighed inwardly, what is this, Great White-eyebrowed Hero?
“Hahaha, Wuliang Tianzun!” The Taoist waved his dustpan, bowed respectfully to Xu Zun and the others, and said, “It turns out that it is the Tangzhou Chief Justice who has come to visit. Welcome, welcome, hehehe…”
this……
Xu Zun and Zhao Yu looked at each other in bewilderment. They could never have imagined that the person who received them in the marquis's mansion was actually a Taoist priest?
However, no matter who he is, he is in the marquis's mansion, but he is polite to a minor official like me. It is obvious that he is a very cultured person.
"Excuse me!" Xu Zun quickly returned the greeting and asked, "Excuse me, who are you..."
"Oh," the Taoist smiled, "I am the security guard of the Marquis of Changping's mansion. Because the Marquis and the housekeeper are out looking for the young lady, I have no choice but to entertain them!"
Mr. Security Guard?
Is that the security captain?
"I am Wei Beihui," the Taoist introduced himself, "I wonder what brings you here today..."
"ah!?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Taoist priest said his name, Zhao Yu suddenly shuddered and almost fell to his knees.
"You...you are Taiqing Wei Beihui?" Zhao Yu asked in surprise, then quickly bowed and clasped his fists, bowing all the way, "I didn't expect it to be Wei Tianshi himself. I have heard of your name for a long time, a long time!"
Um?
Xu Zun searched his memory but found no relevant information.
"I have long heard of your heroic deeds of helping the needy and the needy," Zhao Yu bowed repeatedly, "I am fortunate to meet the Heavenly Master today. I am so lucky, so lucky!"
"Alas... young Meng Lang is not worth mentioning," Wei Beihui said with a smile, "Your Excellency's praise is too much, I am ashamed to accept it, hehe..."
" No matter what, I'm able to see the real face of the Heavenly Master. This will be enough for me, Zhao, to brag about in the future!"
Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, looking exactly like a fan seeing his idol.
"My Lords," Wei Beihui asked, "I wonder what you meant by the message you sent me just now? From what I heard from you, it seems there is a mystery in your words!"
After Wei Beihui said this, the conversation immediately got to the point.
Xu Zun said, "It's like this. I suspect there is another reason for the young lady's disappearance, so I took the liberty to disturb your house. Master , could you please allow me to investigate in your house?"
"Oh...Is that so?" Wei Beihui thought for a moment and said, "I wonder how you are going to investigate this, sir?"
"I need to go and see where the young lady usually lives," Xu Zun said bluntly, "and I also need to call in all the servants, maids and guards who are familiar with the young lady for questioning."
"This..." Wei Beihui said, "I can't make the decision. Please let me inform the lady.
"Madam is eager to save her daughter, so I'm sure she will cooperate with you! But..." He said, "Whether it's the Marquis himself or the constables in the city, they have already questioned these people! I wonder if the Lord has any new plans?"
"Reporting to the Heavenly Master," Xu Zun answered simply, "No!"
"This..." Wei Beihui was very surprised.
“ However ,” Xu Zun said, “Having no ideas doesn’t mean that the case cannot be solved.
"The Heavenly Master is a wise man. I wouldn't dare to come to the Marquis' Mansion even if I had the courage. Since I'm here, there must be a reason." He said bluntly, "In fact, I came here this time to confirm an idea of ​​mine. If I can confirm it, it will be of great help in solving the case!
"If someone really obstructed my investigation, it would just prove Xu's guess, indicating that the young lady's disappearance was too complicated..."
"This..." Wei Beihui looked embarrassed.
Xu Zun's words were too damaging. It meant that whoever obstructed his investigation would be implicated in the young lady's disappearance, a charge that no one could bear.
"Okay!" Wei Beihui nodded and agreed, "Please follow me, I will report to my wife and ask her to make the decision..."
After saying that, Wei Beihui led the two to the backyard, and then asked them to wait in a garden while he went into the house to report.
"Hey, Lao Zhao," Xu Zun asked hurriedly when he saw that there was no one around, "Who is this Taoist priest? Why would the palace hire a Taoist priest as a guard?"
"Oh, he's a big shot!" Zhao Yu replied hurriedly, "This man is from Taiqing Sect. Since he debuted, he has been a chivalrous man, helping the weak and fighting for justice. He is very famous.
“It is said that he uses a pair of Iron Wolf Flying Claws, has superb martial arts skills, and is almost invincible!
"Some people in the martial arts world once made a ranking for the entire Tangzhou, and they believed that Wei Beihui's martial arts skills were good enough to rank among the top ten masters in Tangzhou. Some even said that he ranked fourth!"
"Oh my god," Xu Zun said, pinching his chin, "Why does it sound so unreliable? How can he be ranked fourth when he is almost invincible?"
"Well, these are just random comments from the people in the martial arts world," Zhao Yu said, "None of these masters have ever fought each other, so this ranking can only be based on assumptions or inferences.
"But then again, in my eyes, being ranked fourth in Tangzhou means being invincible!"
"Oh, what about Huo Anu?" Xu Zun was curious, "Where would she rank?"
"Stop it, sir," Zhao Yu covered his face, "Even if that fake Qiu Yongnian came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to make it into the top ten, right?"
"Ah?" Xu Zun was surprised. "Is it so outrageous?"
In an instant, Xu Zun had an illusion that he had come to a martial arts world!
He was still wondering before, since he could exchange a few moves with Huo Anu, could he be considered a master?
But now it seems that the distance to becoming a real master is simply out of reach.
While the two were discussing, Wei Beihui had already walked out of the house and said to them:
"Madam, please come in, both of you. Follow me!"
After hearing the message, the two of them hurried towards the inner house.
Zhao Yu walked and beat the drum, thinking that if Xu Zun and others found any clues today, it would be fine, but if they found nothing , it would be difficult for them to explain...
