Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 29 No morality, no martial ethics

"Come here, everyone!"

Following a loud shout from Zhao Guanxiang.

The subordinates around him drew their swords coldly and surrounded him with murderous intent.

Zhao Guanxiang held the Cangbaizi in one hand and raised the banknotes in the other. He looked at his subordinates and said, "Bribery is blatant. Everyone has seen it."

"I see, sir!"

All the subordinates shouted in unison, scaring the Taoists in the temple so much that they trembled.

"If you weren't guilty, why would you bribe me and claim to be innocent?"

He laughed loudly, leaned close to Cang Baizi's ear, and whispered, "Look, isn't the evidence here?"

Cang Baizi was shocked: "It's obviously you..."

Zhao Guanxiang didn't listen and interrupted him directly: "Shut up! If you have anything to say, go back to the prison and say it! Take them all away!"

"Yes!"

……

In the underground secret room of Baiyun Temple.

The members of the Salvation Church hid inside, waiting for news from outside in fear, and whispering to each other.

"Did the people from the Astronomical Observatory investigate here? I'm afraid they really know some clues..."

"Not necessarily. Maybe they are just trying to get something for free. All these officials are like this. Haven't we seen this a lot in Jingzhou? I don't think the capital city is much better."

"If you just want money, then just give them some and send them away."

Gong Xinying was also among them. Listening to the whispers of the disciples around her, her face gradually became gloomy.

How can a dignified Astronomical Observatory be sent away with just a few coins?

The feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help but cover her chest.

This palpitation has never stopped since last night.

The Golden and Silver Dharma Protectors brought so many elite members of the sect with them, and they were just going to a small charity to bring back the reincarnated golden boy. Logically speaking, there was no way anything could go wrong...

Baiyun Temple is located on the outskirts of Kyoto City, not in the city, so Gong Xinying is still unaware of what happened in Kyoto City last night.

But the fact that the Gold and Silver Protectors have not yet returned with the reincarnated Golden Boy has already given her a bad feeling.

Just when she was worried...

The elder of the Salvation Society let go of the hand of a "Blood Bodhisattva", opened his eyes and said angrily: "The Patrol of Astronomy is really going too far!!!"

He took a long breath, stood up, bowed to Gong Xinying and said, "Saintess, something bad has happened. The Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple has been taken away by the people from the Patrol Astronomical Observatory."

Gong Xinying's expression turned cold, and she asked in a stern voice, "Did the Astronomical Observatory find any evidence in Baiyun Temple?"

The elder was so angry that he was shaking and couldn't help cursing: "What a bullshit evidence! It's clearly a frame-up and an immoral act!"

"How could there be such a shameless, arrogant and unreasonable person in this matter! If a small lieutenant were outside the capital..."

He uttered cruel words in a vicious manner, as if he wanted to eat someone's flesh and drink someone's blood.

Gong Xinying was stunned for a long time, not knowing what had happened outside. The elders of the Salvation Church were so angry that they had to talk about "morality" with others.

After the elder vented his anger, he said anxiously: "Saintess, although the secrets of our sect are hidden, if the Taoists controlled by the Blood Bodhisattvas do not receive the Blood Bodhisattvas' 'physical donations' within five days, the control will be completely released, and we will be exposed. The consequences are unimaginable."

Gong Xinying shouted, "What can we do if we are in a hurry? Are we going to snatch someone from the prison of the Heavenly Patrol?"

"If Princess Yuzhen comes forward..."

"no!"

Before the elder could finish his words, Gong Xinying immediately rejected him.

The elder was stunned for a moment, then suddenly frowned and looked at Gong Xinying.

But Gong Xinying quickly gave a reasonable explanation: "The Astronomical Observatory is directly under the imperial power, and only the emperor can mobilize it. No matter how favored Yuzhen is, she is just a princess who married out. How can she order the Astronomical Observatory to release her?"

Although Yu Zhen is favored by the emperor, if she goes to the palace to ask for mercy from the emperor, given the way the Patrol Captain works, he is very likely to release the people from Baiyun Temple.

But what if the emperor noticed Baiyun Temple because of this?
Even if the possibility was small, Gong Xinying didn't dare to gamble, because that would be the real way to death! "In fact, there is no need to let Yu Zhen come forward..."

At this time, a person appeared in Gong Xinying's mind. She looked at the elder and said quietly, "In fact, if there is another person who is willing to come forward, the Patrol Sky Observatory may not refuse to show respect."

……

At the foot of Baiyun Temple, a prison van was already waiting.

Zhao Guanxiang came prepared and had already made up his mind to capture the Taoists in Baiyun Temple.

Now the prison car prepared in advance came in handy as expected.

He stood outside the prison van, watching his men "invite" the Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple into the van one by one.

Even though there were many martial arts masters among the Taoists in Baiyun Temple, no one dared to resist at this time and they could only get into the prison car obediently.

Just at this moment, a guard holding a halberd came up to him and asked, "Have you always acted like this in the Patrol of the Astronomical Observatory?"

This iron guard holding the halberd looked like a man and had a man's voice.

But when Zhao Guanxiang heard the other party's tone of voice, he immediately recognized her identity, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Third sister, are you impressive?"

"I'm just glad that you didn't take over the Zhao's Company in the capital as your adoptive father wanted, otherwise I don't know what the company would have become after all these years."

Zhao Nishang glanced at Zhao Guanxiang with some resentment. Although she was in the form of a man now, her movements were indescribably charming.

She complained, "I feel bad for myself. I have to take care of the Xiaowei's affairs and check the accounts of the business. I finally waited for Xiaowu to come out and work, but my adoptive father has other plans for Xiaowu."

"He who can do it should work harder!"

Zhao Guanxiang was quite attentive and his words were much nicer.

After all, given his style of doing things, he was reprimanded and punished by the prison every few days. His salary had been deducted until next year, and now he still owed a loan to Zhao's Commercial Bank.

Some people, on the surface, are the majestic rising star of Daqian and the young tiger patrolling the sky, but in fact, his real identity is the first person in Daqian country to work with loans!
Zhao Guanxiang usually doesn't tell others about this and is very low-key.

He asked, "Father, what are your plans for these Taoists? Now that I am in prison, I have some say. It won't be difficult to arrange for some people to be imprisoned in the same cell with these Taoists. Father, do you want to arrange for someone to go into the prison to interrogate them?"

Zhao Nishang shook her head: "No need, just keep him like this."

"Just keep them in custody? Don't we need to ask them some questions?"

"My foster father said that we should just keep him locked up. The longer the better."

"Okay, leave it to me." Zhao Guanxiang grinned and bowed to Zhao Nishang, "Then I will take the people back to the prison first, and Third Sister can do as she pleases."

"and many more……"

Zhao Nishang held him back, straightened his collar in the face of his puzzled gaze, and said, "When you go out, you should pay attention to your image and cherish your reputation. If your adoptive father calls you back one day, don't let your reputation be in tatters."

Zhao Guanxiang felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "If you have a mother, it would probably feel like this."

Seeing Zhao Nishang raising her hand to threaten him, he quickly covered his head and left.

……

"Go back to Beijing!"

"drive!"

When the Astronomical Observatory's men returned to Kyoto, Zhao Guanxiang sat in the prison carriage and drove it himself.

He touched the collar that Zhao Nishang had just straightened for him, and his fingertips felt the rough texture. He was stunned for a moment, then reached in and touched it for a while.

When he took it out, he saw that it was a few rolled-up silver bills.

Zhao Guanxiang looked at the banknote and was stunned for a while.

He was very strong-willed, so strong-willed that after leaving Yangshengtang, he refused to be under the protection of his adoptive father and found a way to join the Astronomical Observatory.

He was so strong that even when he went to a commercial bank to borrow money, he never asked his "family" for money.

But there are always people who care that you can live a better life.

Zhao Guanxiang felt the rough surface of the banknote, finally smiled and put it in his pocket.

Why do so many people get hung up on the number 362? This is the number of acupoints in the human body as defined in the 06 edition of "Acupoint Names and Locations". In this book, there are 360 ​​acupoints plus the Ren and Du meridians.
