After the discussion was completed, Huang Donglai and the four of them immediately divided into two groups and started action.
On the first route, Lin Yuancheng is partnered with Fuzi; their task is to go to the local county government overnight and find the county magistrate to "ask" first-hand information about this large local fraud gang.
In the second route, Huang Donglai partners with Tyrell; what they want to do is to immediately counterattack, sneak into the Wuren Temple, and explore the opponent's true identity at night.
Some people may ask after seeing this, why didn't Huang Donglai go to the county government office himself? Aren't they "harmony in the east and poison in the west" covered by royal guards, so they can "act cheaply" at the gate of the government office
You have to think about it from another angle
If the group of people Huang Donglai wants to deal with now are people who have little to do with the local government, then he would go to the county magistrate for help, indeed It is possible to get the treatment of "acting cheaply".
But what if this group of people had colluded with the yamenmen?
Then when Huang Dong came to the county yamen, wouldn't it be like asking the other party, "Can you help me deal with that person?" It’s a group of accomplices who have given you a lot of benefits and have been protected by you.”
In that case, it’s hard to say what the other party will do.
For example, I can find an excuse to give you a delaying strategy, and then inform the gang of swindlers; or, in order to prevent myself from being dragged into the water, I secretly give an order to my subordinates to let them enter Wuren. The temple went on a killing spree to kill people and silence them; there might even be someone bold enough to try to kill Huang Donglai directly, the person who raised the issue.
To sum up, under the premise of high suspicion but no evidence to prove that there is a problem with the local government, Huang Donglai revealed his identity and negotiated with the county magistrate normally, but it would make them passive.
It is better to use abnormal methods to achieve your goals more efficiently.
Furthermore, the work at Wuren Temple is indeed more suitable for Huang Donglai and Tyrell, because the former is good at light kung fu and the latter is good at sneaking. Compared with the other two, they Carrying out this kind of night reconnaissance mission has obvious advantages.
Here we have two flowers, one on each side.
Let’s talk about Xiaolin and Fudozi first
The two followed the long queue of people and headed towards the town and county.
After passing the end of the team at the foot of the mountain, the road ahead suddenly became deserted. Fortunately, the bright moon was in the sky that night, and even if they had no lights in their hands, it would not prevent them from walking at night.
After walking for a while, they finally saw the shadow of the county seat on a slope.
At the other end is a bright moon and a low and low city.
Compared with the brightly lit and crowded scene at the entrance of Wuren Temple, the whole county in Hu County is actually dark and silent.
After a while, Lin Yuancheng and Fudozi entered the city. They didn't ask for directions and went straight to the city along the main road.
Please rememberCome on, in ancient times, government offices were usually built in the center of the city as long as conditions allowed. This is called "choosing a neutral country"; unless the geographical environment of the county is special, then another location will be chosen according to the Feng Shui pattern. .
Therefore, it didn’t take long for Xiaolin and Fudozi to find the county government office.
The two of them didn't know how to knock on the door. When they got to the door, they got up and climbed over the courtyard wall. Then they walked towards the county prince's bedroom like a leisurely stroll.
Don’t wonder how they know where the county magistrate’s bedroom is. In fact, it’s as simple as “choosing a neutral country” just mentioned. According to Feng Shui theory, this county government office also has “sitting north and facing south”, A series of layout rules such as "two points on the central axis", "front hall and back bed", "left civil and right military" and so on. Although this was not considered "common sense" understood by all ordinary people at that time, it was for people with a little bit of culture. , and Taoist priests, this bit of knowledge must be clear to their chests.
When the two of them arrived at the door of the county prince’s bedroom, they opened the door and entered.
While Lin Yuancheng was lighting the oil lamp on the table, Fuzi had already arrived at the master's bed in three steps at a time.
This county magistrate of Hu County, whose surname is Fang Pan, is in his forties this year. When he was young, he was considered a talented person, but as he has been in officialdom for many years, his appearance has become more and more sinister. In the past ten years, I have gained some middle-age weight.
At this time, Fang Pan was lying on the couch, sleeping soundly with his two concubines, who were nearly thirty years younger than him, in his arms.
The silk and satin on his body came from greed.
The concubine beside him came from greed.
Everything he eats every day comes from greed.
So will he not be able to sleep at night?
No.
Many stories tell us that when those rich and powerful evil people enjoy the material wealth they gained after committing evil deeds, they will have trouble sleeping and eating, and will be in panic all day long.
But in fact, it is just to comfort everyone
Although there may be a small number of people like this, for most of them, their comfortable life is enough to soothe their hearts. The pressure is gone.
If a person really reflects and wonders whether everything he owns was obtained through some dirty means every day, it can only mean that he still has a clear conscience, or that he has no regard for the law and morality. Still with enough awe.
But most evil people have no conscience and awe at all, and they have already justified their actions in their hearts.
Fang Pan is such an ordinary evil person, a corrupt official who can be seen everywhere in Dashu, and the reason why he can live with peace of mind is also the kind of officialdom that is rotten in the street. How many people are not corrupt?
"Yeah" Fang Pan woke up the moment he was grabbed by the collar.
As he murmured, his body, which weighed more than 180 kilograms, was completely lifted up and "thrown" out of the bed.
Of course, Fudozi didn’t want to kill him, so the force on his hands was controlled., he just threw Fang Pan from the bed to the ground.
As for the two concubines, Fudozi has used methods to prevent them from waking up for the time being.
"Ah you" suddenly sat down on the cool ground. Fang Pan was completely stunned. Under the light that had just turned on, he looked at the tall and strong Taoist priest in front of him and said, He couldn't even say the whole thing, "Who is this?"
While staring at Fang Pan with a condescending look, Fuzi reached out and dragged a stool over and sat down slowly.
"Don't scream." This was the first thing Fudozi said to Fang Pan.
As if Fang Pan was reminded by these words, he immediately opened his voice and wanted to shout "Here comes someone".
But he only uttered half a syllable of the word "来", and a big hand was already stuck on his mouth and nose like a facehugger, so that he could only utter a very slight "" e" sound.
"You are disobedient?" Fuzi easily clamped Fang Pan's head with one hand, like grabbing a basketball, and looked at the latter and said leisurely, "I can tolerate it." Just think about it again and blink when you figure it out."
Fang Pan naturally "figured it out" very quickly.
His mind was still confused just now, so he instinctively wanted to call for help, but now that his mind was a little clearer, he understood that since the two people in front of him had the courage and ability to enter my bedroom late at night, If they kidnap me, even if I yell now, they can kill me and silence me before someone arrives.
"Hmm." A few seconds later, Fang Pan blinked violently and groaned with his covered mouth and nose.
When Fudozi saw this, he let him go.
After being freed, Fang Pan did not try to scream again, but just gasped for air.
"I want to ask you something, please answer truthfully." Fudongzi waited for his breathing to calm down before continuing.
"Okay." Fang Pan could only reply "Okay". As he spoke, he was kneeling on the ground and sitting upright, like a student about to be trained.
"What's your name?" Fudozi asked.
"Fang Pan." Fang Pan replied.
"How long have you been the magistrate here?" Fudozi said.
"It's been almost three years," Fang Pan said.
"How long have you been colluding with the Wurenji guys?" Fudozi said.
After answering this, Fang Pan hesitated.
The other party didn’t ask him “whether he colluded” at all, but directly asked “how long has he colluded”. There are two possibilities. The first is that the other party already knows the fact that he colluded with that group of people. The second type is bluffing.
If it is the first situation, Fang Pan should answer truthfully, otherwise it will anger the other party; but if it is the second situation, the other party does not confirm that Fang Pan is guilty, and will only deceive him. , then if he answers the truth, it will be equivalent to being deceived and "confessing".
"This Taoist priest doesn't know who you are?" As expected, Fang Pan chose not to answer, because the matter here was a bit big and he didn't want to admit it easily.
"Hey, you are asking me again. It seems like there is something wrong in your heart." Who is Fudozi? He has lived for more than a hundred years, and Fang Pan only wants to talk to him. Hahahaha
"No, no, Taoist priest, Fang really doesn't know what you are talking about." Fang Pan still did not give up and continued to pretend, "Wuren Temple is a temple, and I am a yamen here. What do I have to do with them?"
"What did you say?" Fudozi said, then turned his head slightly and glanced at Lin Yuancheng, who was standing beside him and had never spoken.
Lin Yuancheng saw his look and immediately understood, so he said to Fang Pan, "That Xiong Fengshan and the monks in the temple deceived the people, you are a parent official." , don’t you know?”
When Fang Pan heard this, he turned to look at Lin Yuancheng, and decided to call him according to his appearance, “This young hero, I was wronged, didn’t Mr. Naxiong give him Are people curing diseases? Why are you deceiving the people? I really don’t know anything about it.”
“Oh, you really don’t know.” Lin Yuancheng wanted to be a red face, so naturally he had to pretend to believe it.
"It's absolutely true," Fang Pan answered quickly as if grasping a life-saving straw.
At this time, Fudozi, who was responsible for playing the white face, also started
"Am I so easy to deceive when you are a Taoist?" Fudozi said this When he finished the sentence, he suddenly changed into a angry look, and for some unknown reason, he immediately waved his arms and took off the skirt of his clothes. He took off the Taoist robe in two strokes, exposing the lean muscles of his upper body, "It seems You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin”
