Demon Book Qi Zhai

Bai Xianzhen returns.

Standing the long stick under the peach blossom tree in the yard, Qiu only handed him the towel covered in sweat.After receiving the towel, the two sat together under the corridor.After a while Jing Bing brought the tea, and then retreated.

Bai Xianzhen wiped the sweat off his face, Qiu only stared at his neck.On the fair neck, apart from the hickey marks left by her, there was sweat that had not been wiped off.

By coincidence, Qiu just leaned on the other party's neck, sticking out his tongue to lick the sweat off his neck.

Bai Xianzhen smiled lowly.

Qiu only stopped his mouth when his tongue slipped all the way to his earring ear.

"Here." Qiu only picked up the tea, Bai Xianzhen took it and drank it, then put down the teacup, and breathed a sigh of relief against the summer wind.

Then Cheng Fu and Shang Jing came back to the backyard, Bai Xianzhen asked: "How?"

"I didn't see Zhang Qian, but I met Shang Sheng." Cheng Fu replied.

"Shang Province is here, Zhang Qian should be nearby." Bai Xianzhen said.

"There are so many people in Hualou Street, it's the best place to hide, and it's not easy to find him," Qiu Zhi said.

"It's a pity that Shang Sheng escaped." Otherwise, all the truth would be revealed.

Shang Jing, who had been silent all this time, said, "Next time, next time I will never let him run away."

Bai Xianzhen looked at Shang Jing, and he stretched out his hand to hold his left hand: "The gate of Yinyang Zhai has always been open for Shang Sheng."

Shang Jing's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, my lord." He didn't believe that his brother would really kill him!

In the afternoon, Uncle Fang Yuan went out to buy a basket of watermelons. When he came back, he not only carried the basket of watermelons, but also Hua Mengxi and Xiang Shuya.

Seeing Hua Mengxi, Xiao Yumin yelled "Yo-yo--".They loved the man who made them little clothes!

"Shuya! Mengxi!" Everyone greeted one after another!

Xiang Shuya was dressed in a gray robe, with glasses on his nose. He combed his hair to the back of his head, looking like a gentleman. If he was not familiar with him, he might not be able to recognize him.Taking off his glasses, Xiang Shuya replied with a smile, "We are back."

"Let's go to the backyard. Let's eat watermelon today." Xiao Chu smiled.

"Okay." Xiang Shuya smiled.

"Mengxi, are you okay?" Cheng Fu stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay." Hua Mengxi replied.

Accompanied by the voice of talking and laughing, there was also the sound of "yo-yo--".The group of them came to the backyard, Bai Xianzhen and Qiu only stood up: "I'm back."

"Well, I just got back." Xiang Shuya replied.

When they came back, they proved that they had found out Jardine Matheson and the officers who dealt with Herbert Ingram.

"Eat the watermelon, let's talk about things." Bai Xianzhen picked up a watermelon from the basket.

"it is good."

So Zhuge Gongming moved two tables under the peach tree, Xiao Chu threw up a watermelon, swung the sword in his hand a few times, and the cut watermelon fell neatly on the table.

Everyone picked up the watermelon and took a big bite: "It's delicious!"

Bai Xianzhen picked up a piece of melon and put it on the peach tree, so that the little fungus who lived on the tree could also eat the watermelon together.

After cutting several watermelons in a row, Xiao Chu stopped his sword.Everyone sat in the shade of the tree, listening to the cicadas sloughing on the tree, eating the watermelon in their mouths, and couldn't be more leisurely.

Dadai took a large piece of watermelon and flew into Kong Bing's arms. He opened his sharp teeth and buried himself in it. After a while, the watermelon disappeared.

Kong Bing, who sees everything in his eyes: "..."

He said softly to Da Dai: "Watermelon rind, you can't eat it."

Da Dai looked up at him and blinked suspiciously: "Yo yo~"

Kong Bing: "This, watermelon."

Da Dai: "West—melon——"

Kong Bing: "Well, this is a watermelon."

Dadai flew up happily. He flapped his wings and continued to go to the table to get watermelon. He flew and shouted: "Watermelon—watermelon—"

Bai Xian was really surprised: "Da Dai can talk?"

Hua Mengxi fed Wu Dai watermelon, she said: "The Feathermen grow fast, I believe that after a while, they will all be able to speak."

Bai Xianzhen smiled: "Alright."

Dadai took the watermelon and flew back to Kong Bing's arms to continue eating. This time, Kong Bing taught him how to eat watermelon so that he would not eat the watermelon seeds and rind.

Dadai is very smart, he will be able to teach it once.He was even able to spit out all the melon seeds that had been eaten into his mouth.Dadai, who had eaten two watermelons in a row, had a round belly, and Kong Bing gently stroked his belly.

After eating the watermelon, everyone sat around under the green peach tree.

Xiang Shuya and Hua Mengyi told what they had investigated.

"Jardine Matheson is in the business of buying and selling monsters, but this matter has nothing to do with Herbert Ingram."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Chu asked.

"In Jardine Matheson, it is the chief comprador Ju Ying and the head of the consulate in the British Concession who are really doing this business."

"I see." Bai Xianzhen said.No wonder Jardine Matheson was not on the list sent by Lianhua.Because this is the private business of Ji Ying and the curator Ying.

"Herbert Ingram won't stop them?" Xiao Chu continued to ask.

"I don't want to stop it, because Director Ying hired his boat. As long as the day before Jardine's ship leaves, Ji Ying will secretly transport the monsters to the ship, and then leave Hankou for England." Hua Meng said.

"Then why did Juying find those three Xiangxi monster hunters for him?" Xiao Chu continued to ask.

"Because there are monsters who want to kill him, Jiying has no choice but to find a monster catcher to protect him." Xiang Shuya said.

"The monster wants to kill Herbert Ingram?" Xiao Chu was surprised.

"This is what happened during the Wuchang Uprising during the [-] Years. Back then, Herbert Ingram accidentally killed a monster, and then the monster hid in Wuhan and assassinated him." Xiang Shuya explained.

"It's a bit strange... I don't do it myself, but I don't interfere with the people under me." Cheng Fu said.

"From the information of the International Chamber of Commerce, I guess it is because of the British nobles and interests. The captured monsters were sent to Europe, and we don't know what happened afterwards. As the largest British business consortium in the Far East, Jardine Matheson Burt Ingram is just one of the people who is in charge of things in Hankou. Behind him, there is the headquarters and this more powerful person. Therefore, some things may not even be counted by him. In this way, Even if he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he can hardly absolve himself of the blame. He can only let Jiying do it for him, so that he can 'get away'." Xiang Shuya said.

"That's true... Qiu Zhi, you said that some people don't do business through their own hands. In this way, no matter how dirty the business is, his hands are clean." Bai Xianzhen said.

Now, that's the case with Herbert Ingram.The headquarters consortium in the UK let him do the monster trading business, but he didn't want to get involved, so he could only use the hands of Ji Ying and the curator Ying to do it.In this way, on the surface, he can also keep himself out of the matter. At that time, whether it is Qiu Zhi or Bai Xianzhen, after investigation, they will also target Director Ying and Jiying.

It's just that he couldn't get away with accepting employment and providing ships.

and so--

"The person behind this business is Herbert Tinggram!" Qiu Zhi said.The people behind Herbert Ingram were in business, he was in business.

When they found the evidence, they had a reason to do it.

After investigating the news about Jardine Matheson's business in monsters, Xiang Shuya continued to tell the story of the senior officials in Hubei with whom he was associated.

"Herbert Ingram has made good friends with the Hankou guard envoy and deputy of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, as well as Lu Yuanyong, the senior official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Hubei patrol envoy, Director Rao, Director of the Department of Internal Affairs, and Director Wu, Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Among them, Lu Yuanyong The patrol is the closest to him." Xiang Shuya said.

"Yuan Yong?" Bai Xianzhen was stunned.

"The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, so we can't draw any conclusions. Let's wait for Lu Feng and Ning Ji to come back." Qiu Zhi said.

"En." Bai Xianzhen nodded.He didn't believe it was Lu Yuanyong, because he really couldn't think of a reason, why did Yuan Yong do this?

Xiang Shuya continued to talk about the interior of Jardine Matheson, and took out the drawings he had drawn, telling them that the captured monster was in the underground warehouse, and in front of the warehouse, there were people patrolling with guns.Therefore, if you want to break through Jardine Matheson, you must make a big noise to attract the people from the patrol room.

Ultimately, brutal battles are inevitable.

After talking about Jardine Matheson, what they had to wait for next was news from Ning Ji and Lu Feng.As long as their accounts are checked, the truth will be revealed who is the person behind Zhang Qian.

At night, Bai Xianzhen, who was lying on the bed holding a man's pornographic story book, did not turn the pages for a long time.Qiu who came in after taking a shower knew what he was thinking just by looking at it.

Qiu just sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his head with a towel, the wet hair on his head became a mess.

"Ning Ji and the others haven't returned, so it's useless for you to think too much." Qiu only took the towel off his head.

"What you're talking about... But, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs has financial problems, it's impossible for Yuan Yong not to know about it." Bai Xianzhen put down the script.

Lu Yuanyong is in charge of the entire civil affairs in Hubei. If there is a financial problem, it is impossible for him not to know.When Ning Ji and the others return from their investigation, if there is no problem with Hubei's financial situation, then the people before and after Zhang have nothing to do with the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

If there is a problem, then the people behind Zhang and Zhang will be Lu Yuanyong, or the financial secretary.

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Bai Xian's heart.

He has known Lu Yuanyong for many years, and he thinks he understands this man... If it is really him, what should we do?

He said that no matter what the other party does, there will be no resentment.Because he really can't hate it.

Taking out the pocket watch Lu Yuanyong gave him, Bai Xian really thought about the past.Qiu just reached out and took off the pocket watch in his hand, and someone immediately undressed him.

Bai Xianzhen: "..." He is really a man of great energy.

After stripping him naked, Qiu only grabbed Bai Xianzhen's thighs and separated them, then buried his head.Bai Xianzhen grabbed his wet hair, and let out an uncontrollable soft moan from his mouth.

Bai Xianzhen, who was sunk in the sea of ​​desire, quickly forgot his troubles, and the enemy only plundered his body and soul like a plunder.

Two days later, Ning Ji and Lu Feng still haven't come back.

Lying on the roof and using a crossbow to shoot the opposite assassin for practice shooting, Kong Bing has never seen other murder weapons.But he knew that once they stepped out of the Yin-Yang Zhai, those murderous weapons would appear.

Da Da, who has been following him, has been able to say something in the past two days.It's just that when he talks, he always has a "yo", which sounds funny.

The matter of Jardine Matheson has been investigated, when will the captain lead them to break through the barrier and cut off those dirty things?

"Hey--"

Someone leaped lightly onto the roof.

It's heaven.

Kong Bing sat up, and Tianwumao walked up to him and sat down.He said, "You are very strange."

Kong Bing: "?"

Tian Wu: "Not only is your posture with the gun very strange, I also saw that strange box in your room that couldn't be opened."

Kong Bing's pupils shrank, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Tian Wu's neck.The unsuspecting Tian Wu was pinched, he was holding his breath, his face was flushed, and he mocked unsteadily: "What are you afraid that I will know?"

The expression on Kong Bing's face became a little scary.

Da Dai was so frightened that he flapped his wings and flew up. Such Kong Bing is really terrifying!

Kong Bing's eyes were a little bloodshot, and he warned dangerously: "If you dare to touch my things again, I will kill you!" That box, together with the contents in the box, do not belong to this era.Inside, there is a rocket weapon powerful enough to destroy an aircraft.Here, he never intended to use them, let alone expose them to the public!

The blood in Kong Bing's eyes slowly faded, and he slowly let go of the fingers pinching Tianwu's neck, allowing Tianwu to inhale freely.Kong Bing stretched out both hands to hug Feiqi Da Dai, and stroked him gently in his arms.

Da Dai's wings fluttered down, and a strange sound came out of his throat.

Kong Bing smiled and stroked his little head: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he took out a candy from his arms and handed it to him.Dadai took it, then shook his wings happily, unwrapped it and stuffed it into his mouth.Kong Bing smiled, and after getting along for a period of time, he had almost figured out Da Dai's habits.

Tianwu stood up, and the young man said condescendingly to Kong Bing: "You have strength, but no ambition. What a pity, what a pity." After speaking, Tianwu jumped off the roof and disappeared.

Ambitious?

He never had such a thing.Thinking back, after coming to this era, time has passed for so long...

"Yo yo—" Da Dai stroked the white hair on his head, then took out the small comb Hua Mengyi gave him and handed it to Kong Bing.Kong Bing took it and combed it for him.

With sugar in his mouth, Kong Bing combed his hair, and Da Da felt extremely comfortable.

Another three days passed, and the stillness of Qiu only made the originally tense Five Nations Concession relax their vigilance.According to the unpredictable behavior of Qiu Zhi and his group, the director of the British curator said, this is a trick they want to catch!

Herbert Ingram looked forward to them, the birds flying out of the cage.

Qiu Zhi was not leading people to sanction the monster trade. On the surface, Hankou was calm, but in private, those hunters began to be active again. They thought that after leaving the Red Mansion, Qiu Zhi had no shelter and did not dare to go out again.

Hua Mengxi and Cheng Fu, who went out to inquire about the news, told the outside situation.

Bai Xianzhen said, this is also good.Next, they can be taken by surprise.

Just when Qiu Zhi and the others thought that it would take many days for Ning Ji and Lu Feng to come back, at six o'clock the next morning, the two men, wearing capes and covering their faces, appeared in front of the gate of Yinyang Zhai.The assassins lurking opposite Yin Yang Zhai couldn't see the faces of the two of them clearly, couldn't identify who they were, so they could only stand still.

Lu Feng opened the door, and as soon as Ning Ji stepped in, she took off the scarf covering her face. He smiled and turned to the assassin on the opposite side and said, "Everyone has worked hard, bye~"

All the assassins were shocked: "It's Ning Ji! Shoot! Shoot!"

Lu Feng hurriedly closed the door, and the bullets hit "bang bang bang" and left many bullet marks on the door and the wall.Inside the door, Lu Feng reprimanded Ning Ji angrily.Ning Ji smiled and let him reprimand her.

In the studio, Cheng Fu, who got up early and was practicing Taoism, flashed. When he saw the two of them, he landed silently: "I'm back."

Lu Feng nodded: "Yeah!"

Ning Ji smiled and raised her hand in greeting: "Morning!"

Cheng Fu: "Morning." After speaking, the figure disappeared again.

Obviously, I went to practice Taoism again.

Ning Ji rubbed her chin: "Lu Feng, can people who practice Taoism live forever?"

Lu Feng's face twitched: "You think too much. I'll go back to my room and sleep for a while." After speaking, he yawned and walked to his own room.

And Ning Ji went to the bathroom to take a cold shower and returned to the room where he and Kong Bing lived.

When Ning Ji stepped into the room, Kong Bing woke up.Seeing him, he said, "The deputy captain is back."

Ning Ji looked sleepy, and turned on the bed: "Yes, let me rest."

"Okay." Kong Bing continued to hug Dadai who was sleeping deeply in his arms and closed his eyes.

Neither Cheng Fu nor Kong Bing mentioned the news of Ning Ji and Lu Feng's return.So when the two of them got up at noon and went to the dining hall, everyone was taken aback.

"When did the vice-captain come back?" Xiao Chu asked.

"This morning." Ning Ji sat down.

"Eat." Qiu Zhi said.

"Okay." Ning Ji picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.

After the meal, Ning Ji silenced the entire dining hall with one sentence. He said, "The person who built the Fifth Execution Ground is the Hubei patrol envoy. Lu Yuanyong is the person behind Zhang Qian. Lu Feng, take out the account book."

"Okay." Lu Feng responded, and he went back to his room and took the stack of ledgers he brought back and put them on the table.

Ning Ji continued: "A few years ago, the Five Execution Grounds appeared, and since then, the accounts of Hubei's civil affairs began to be falsified. After investigation, we found out that it was Lu Xun who asked the financial secretary to do this. These accounts , it was three years ago."

Where the money went is self-evident.

Bai Xianzhen and Qiu only picked up the transaction slips over the years and reconciled them with the financial secretary's bills. There was some financial inconsistency, and there were traces of new pages in the account book.

"How did you get the transaction slip?" Qiu Zhi asked.Lu Yuanyong would never put these things in the Finance Department.

"At the home of the Financial Secretary." Lu Feng replied.

"So, you stole these accounts from the Department of Finance?" Xiang Shuya had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Yes, but we left a clue and blamed it on the Red Chamber." Ning Ji laughed.In order to investigate and check the past accounts, he and Lu Feng checked the accounts of the entire Wuhan in recent years one by one.

"...Do you think that Lu Xunyan believed that the red building did it?" Xiang Shuya felt a little headache, but Ning Ji stabbed the red building in the back.If General Wang finds out, maybe tomorrow he will lead troops to defeat Yin Yang Zhai!

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. It's enough to let General Wang focus on the accounts. You know, Hanyang Arsenal, Hanyang Iron Works, and several other big factories don't need money. The Finance Department There is a problem with the account, let General Wang know, do you think he will let it go?" Ning Ji's knife is really ruthless!

As a result, there will inevitably be conflicts and frictions between the officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and General Wang will not stop until he investigates clearly.

Everyone was convinced by Ning Ji's method.In this way, Lu Yuanyong is the person behind Zhang Qian, and it is also confirmed that the master behind the Fifth Execution Ground and Zhang Qian is Lu Yuanyong.And the one who wants to kill them is also him.

This supreme civil affairs officer who is deeply loved by the people in Hubei actually has another face. If it gets out, no one will believe it.

Such a truth is somewhat cruel to Yin Yang Zhai.

Since Lu Yuanyong was transferred to Hubei, he has been taking care of Yinyang Zhai and has been close to them.Unexpectedly, when they were intervening in two ways to quell their grievances, Lu Xunyan would actually do something contrary to them.This is really hard for them to accept, but the facts and evidence are in front of them, and they can't even make an excuse.

Bai Xianzhen stood up and left the dining hall, no one followed him.

Qiu just threw away the ledger in his hands—now that the truth has been found, it's time for the next step.As for the Finance Department, the Financial Secretary is probably going crazy!

Yes, the Financial Secretary does want to go crazy!Their office was in a mess, and the important books from three years ago were missing. What made him even more terrified was that the ID left in the Finance Office had the number on it belonged to the Red Building.

Just when he was looking for Lu Yuanyong, General Wang Zichun came to the Finance Department with a murderous look on his face, holding a book from the previous year in his hand.The Financial Secretary knew it was not good at a glance. He sent people to go to the patrol envoy, but he himself went up to face the violent general who was well-known throughout the Beiyang warlords.

When Lu Yuanyong received the news, it was already too late.The Financial Secretary was hijacked to the Red Mansion, and General Wang Zichun sent soldiers to "invite" him to the Red Mansion.

Lu Yuanyong ran his finger across the Pisces jade pendant, which was the only thing Bai Xianzhen gave him.Putting the jade pendant in his pocket, he stood up and followed the soldiers to the red building.

Yin Yang Zhai.

Qiu is only planning the next move!

He said: "Wait for the evening to break through Jardine Matheson!"

Ning Ji disturbed the army and the people.There is such a thing, Zhang Qian must take his own people to leave the vicinity of Yinyangzhai and go to the red building. In this way, without Zhang Qian's murderous weapons blocking them, they can destroy the underground warehouse of Jardine Matheson in one go.

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

Qiu Zhi said to Ning Ji: "At that time, you bring some brothers to patrol the front of the warehouse, and the others follow me into the underground warehouse."

"Leave it to me." Ning Ji smiled.He can't wait.

"I'm going to check the British Concession." Fang Yuanbo stood up and left.

Now, there are still four hours before the evening.As long as Lu Yuanyong can give General Wang an explanation, he will never even think about stepping out of the red building.

After arranging everything, Qiu only found Bai Xianzhen on the peach tree.

On the huge peach tree, Bai Xianzhen was lying among the peach trees, with his eyes closed, he was dozing off.Qiu only climbed up the peach tree in twos and twos, Bai Xianzhen said, "Be careful of fungus people."

"Okay." The bacteria people are too small, and they will be hurt if they don't pay attention. Qiu only wonders if a bird will eat them all.

Avoiding the branches where the bacteria lived, Qiu came to sit next to Bai Xianzhen, picked up Bai Xianzhen's head, and let him lie on his lap.

"Why did Yuan Yong do this?" Bai Xianzhen still couldn't figure it out.He holds power and is respected by the people.He has everything he wants, but why would he create a killing between the two?

How many monsters and monsters were buried in the Fifth Execution Ground...

"When the time comes, you can ask him face to face." Qiu took Bai Xianzhen's drooping long hair and played with his fingertips.

"Chou Zhi, I don't hate him, nor do I blame him." Bai Xianzhen had mixed feelings.No matter what that person did, even if it was heinous, he couldn't resent it.

"Hmm..." Qiu only responded.

Bai Xianzhen stretched out his hands to interlock with Qiu Zhi.

He regards him as the most important friend, and he wants to solve it with his own hands.
