Chapter 70 Demon Cave

Mrs. Wei turned her gaze to Mo Yunxiao and asked: "He Lu, do you still believe in King Jian at this moment?" Mo Yunxiao seemed not to hear her words, but kept mumbling: "What Zhao Ji said is true.

...What Zhao Ji said is true..."

At this moment, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. The hairs all over her body stood on end, and she had a layer of goosebumps visible to the naked eye. She kept talking as if she was dreaming. Of course, Mrs. Wei heard clearly and understood her mood at the moment.

"He Lu, now that you know the truth, what are your next plans?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Mo Yunxiao raised his pale face to look at her, and said in a very weak but critical tone: "I want to go back."

Mrs. Wei was very anxious and hurriedly took her hand and said, "You know that Prince Jian's Mansion is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, but you still want to break in?"

"That's why I want to go back." Mo Yunxiao said: "I was deceived by that guy, but luckily I'm fine. But Huan'er is still trapped in it. If I don't rescue her, I will really feel uneasy."

"If you want to save people, you have to take a long-term approach. You must not be brave, otherwise you will get in without Huan'er being rescued," Mrs. Wei said.

The woman saw them talking to each other, and although she didn't understand the cause and effect, she roughly guessed their situation, so she said: "Ladies, please listen to me."

As expected, the two of them stopped and both turned their attention to the woman. The woman sighed and said: "Since my man died, all I think about day and night is revenge. But after all, King Jian is a member of the royal family, and I am an ordinary person."

The village woman doesn't know what to do. Fortunately, I met the two ladies today, and I finally have hope. Although I can't be a hero like Nie Yinniang like the ladies, I can still help a little bit."

The two people's spirits were indeed lifted. Mrs. Wei knelt down and asked her: "Sister-in-law, if you have any clever ideas, please tell me."

The woman smiled faintly and said: "I'm not a military advisor, so I don't have any clever ideas. However, I know that the member named Chu has been very restless in recent days. Those who came to his house were either Mr. Zhang, shopkeeper Zhang, and another one.

That's Yuhou, his surname is Qiu. Oh, by the way, there's another one, his surname is Wan, I heard people say he's the leader of the Canal Trough Gang."

Mo Yunxiao nodded and said to Mrs. Wei: "We all know these people. Mr. Zhang is Zhang Dun, Shopkeeper Zhang is his brother Zhang Chun, Qiu Feng and Wan Nailin. Humph! We are all the same.

, not a single good thing!”

The woman continued: "We are his tenants, so we know better. I seem to have heard that Yuanwai Chu will give up half of his property to Mr. Zhang."

"Oh? Why is this?" Mrs. Wei was a little confused. But the woman also shook her head slightly, not knowing why.

Mo Yunxiao thought about it carefully and said, "I probably know that the person named Chu is going to be King Jian's angel investor."

Both Mrs. Wei and the woman looked confused. "What is an 'angel investor'?"

Mo Yunxiao simply squatted down, raised two fists and said: "Although the court is calm at the moment, there are actually undercurrents. As you can see, the officials, Privy Council Zeng, Queen Mother Xiang are my right hands, and King Jian

, Zhang Dun, Qiu Feng and others are my left hand. The left hand wants to take the right hand and replace it, but lacks full confidence, so they need to pull people on board. And the person on board is Chu Yuanwai. King Jian wants

To seize the throne, not only the Chu officials but also the imperial court were involved, it can be said that everyone gets what they need."

Mrs. Wei and the woman looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of confusion in the other's eyes. Mrs. Wei frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "King Jian is indeed promiscuous and violent, but does he dare to rebel? This is probably too unbelievable."

Mo Yunxiao shook his head and said: "King Jian did have this plan. I once heard with my own ears that he and Liu Dadao, the leader of the beggar gang, plotted this matter. However, it might be a cover-up. Liu Dadao was deceived by him.

The power he really wants to draw on is not the beggar gang but the trough gang."

"What's the reason?" Mrs. Wei asked again.

"First, Caobang is backed by Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun is the prime minister of the dynasty and holds a high position of power. King Jian's help from Caobang is equivalent to help from Zhang Dun. He will not fail to do such a cheap deal." Mo Yun

Xiao Kan spoke eloquently: "Second, the Cao Gang has been making a living in Tokyo City for generations, and the chain of interests is intertwined. This cannot be easily overturned. And Liu Dadao and the others want to share the profits from the canal. If King Jian and the Beggar Gang

Cooperation will inevitably create complications and hinder the interests of many people."

"In that case, why did he pretend to cooperate with Liu Dadao?" Mrs. Wei continued to ask.

Mo Yunxiao said: "This is easy to explain. First, you can explore the bottom, use it if you can, and discard it if you can't; secondly, you can also take the opportunity to stabilize them and prevent them from interacting with you when you act.

make trouble."

Mrs. Wei thought about it and couldn't help laughing and said: "Well, my He Lu is indeed a female Zhuge with both wisdom and courage. How did you come up with these ideas?"

Mo Yunxiao smiled helplessly, stood up and said: "Originally, there were many things that I couldn't figure out. I didn't believe that King Jian would murder officials; I didn't believe that he had such a despicable character. It's because my reason was trapped by my emotions,

So I can't understand many things. But now that I have freed myself from my love and pity for him, it is as clear as seeing a fish in clear water."

Mrs. Wei also smiled happily and said, "He Lu, you finally understand. What are you going to do next?"

Mo Yunxiao suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "I'm going to meet Wan Nailin for a while."

"Oh? Why don't you go directly to Yuan Chu? Don't you have a close relationship with him?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Mo Yunxiao shook his head with a smile and said: "The person named Chu is just a chess piece in the hands of Zhang Dun and the others. Zhang Dun is King Jian's real right-hand man. Let's hit the snake with seven inches, and Zhang Dun's seven inches is Wan Nailin."

The woman immediately responded: "Wan Nailin has a place outside the city, but... it's a dirty place. The two ladies are just afraid..."

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly and said, "'Ghost Fan Tower', I know. I'm just going to visit that place."

After hearing these words, the woman couldn't help but change her color, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she also showed a very terrifying expression.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly tried to persuade her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't panic. This is my girl's nature. She is born to be a living Yaksha and a female Yama. You don't need to take it to heart."

The woman was even more surprised. She looked at Mo Yunxiao and said, "Is this lady the 'Female Yama' Mo Yunxiao in Tokyo?"

Mo Yunxiao nodded proudly and said, "It's me."

"Ah! The old woman's eyesight is so stupid that she didn't recognize the noble man." The woman hurriedly bowed down and said, "In that case, the old woman dares to ask Madam Mo to avenge my husband!" As she said that, she kowtowed heavily.

.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly supported her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please don't be too polite. Do you know who the lady who came with me is? She is Privy Council Zeng's wife Wei Wan and Wei Yuru. This matter is between the two of us.

You can rest assured that it’s one shoulder to carry.”

The woman was so excited that she burst into tears. She also bowed to Mrs. Wei several times and kept saying: "Please...please..."

After bidding farewell to the woman, the two of them rode away on their horses. "Ghost Fan Tower" only opened at night, so it got the word "ghost". However, if a place like that hides evil and people and people, if two noble ladies

It was too conspicuous to go there, so they decided to change into men's clothing.

However, the sky was already bright at this time, and changing clothes after returning to the city would inevitably attract the attention of King Jian. So they went straight to the nearby county town, bought cloth and made tailor-made clothes, and they could wear them as soon as it got dark. And they changed into men's clothes.

Recharging his energy, he took advantage of the hazy night and rode straight towards the "Ghost Tower".

This ghost tower is located near a broken bridge on the outskirts of Tokyo. The bridge is used as a roof, and the surrounding area is built with straw mats and soil to form a large area. Although it is not as tall and majestic as the real tower.

, but also in this dark night, the lights are connected like dots of stars. As you get closer, the people inside are drinking and laughing, and you can clearly distinguish the hulu when they are throwing dice.

The two sturdy men holding the door each held a shining knife in their hands, standing on both sides of the door. They were naked to the upper body, and their lower bodies were only coarse cloth trousers and a pair of straw sandals on their feet. They were dressed in typical grooves.

At this time, two young men strolled over. They were wearing long robes, square scarves, and fluttering white clothes. They were full of elegance. Looking at their appearance, one of them was holding a folding fan and smiling slightly. His figure was naturally

He is tall and has a very handsome face. Although the other one is very noble and elegant in every gesture, he is not as good as his companion in appearance. The one shaking the fan is Mo Yunxiao, and the one next to him is Mrs. Wei.

.

Mo Yunxiao imitated Zhao Ji's expression and behavior, came to the two gatekeepers, hugged his hands, and said: "I, Mo Da, specially invited my out-of-town friend to come to Guifan Tower to have some fun. Please also invite me."

It's convenient for you two brothers."

The two men looked at the two of them, and one of them said: "In the city, there are Nanqu and Beiqu Brothel Streets in Anfang. You two seem to be scholars. If you don't go to that elegant place, why bother to look far away?

This filthy place."

Mo Yunxiao laughed and said: "To be honest, this friend of mine is from the south of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River is rich and popular. What kind of brothel can't be found? If you take the trouble to come to Tokyo, what you will see and hear is the same as the south of the Yangtze River.

, Isn’t this trip in vain? I once boasted to my friends that this ghost mansion is a place of happiness on earth, and Jiangnan will never have it. That’s why he is willing to go through this with me. "

"Let me go...let me go..." The cries of several women came from the distance, one after another from far to near. The two looked back and saw seven or eight big men walking in each carrying a sack.

, the woman in the sack was struggling and crying but to no avail.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yunxiao's face immediately turned red. She instinctively turned her face away, her heart beating wildly. Mrs. Wei glared at her with an angry look on her face.

The two gatekeepers laughed, and one of them said: "What? You haven't seen it before, have you? This is how the girls from Guifan Tower come here. What we do is harmful to nature. You two are readers of sages.

It's insulting to the Holy Spirit to tell you to leave quickly."

"Hahaha, the overlord is holding on to his bow, it is indeed interesting. I have been through thousands of flowers in Jiangnan, but I have never had such fun." Mrs. Wei suddenly said to Mo Yunxiao: "This ghost Fanlou is better than the real one.

Fan Lou is much more interesting.”

"Really? As long as Brother Wei likes it." Mo Yunxiao responded awkwardly, and then said to the two gatekeepers: "This friend of mine is a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, and he has a lot of money. You two really want to

Do you want to shut out the God of Wealth?"

"This..." The two hesitated for a while, looked at each other, and winked at each other. One of them said, "It's okay to let you in, but you have to pay for the passage." He stretched out his hand as he said that.

It's clear that he wants money.

Mrs. Wei laughed, took out a handout from her wide sleeve, and said, "Fifty guan of money is not a sign of respect."

The two men took the jiaozi and took a look. Sure enough, it was a denomination of fifty guan. Their eyes were wide open. Most of the people entertained by this ghost house were trackers, farmers, local gangsters and other low-level people. Who could be like this?

A big gesture.

When they accepted Jiaozi, their faces changed as expected, and they immediately asked with a smile: "I wonder what the names of these two distinguished guests are."

"There's no need to remember your name. My surname is Mo, and this uncle's surname is Wei." Mo Yunxiao said.

"Dele!" The two gatekeepers immediately shouted: "Master Wei, Master Mo is here! We are waiting inside!"

Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei looked at each other and smiled, and then they both stepped into the bamboo gate of Guifan Tower.
