Chapter 1018 The clue left by the big brother

  Fang's ancestral hall is no different from ordinary ancestral halls. Many tablets are enshrined in the ancestral hall. In front of each tablet there is a small and delicate incense burner. There are incense candles and fruit offerings on the table, and three futons are placed on the floor.

  It can be seen that there are often people here to clean, and every place is clean and there is no dust at all.

  Shangkui circled the ancestral hall twice and found all the places he could find, but found no abnormalities.

  In turn, he looked at the clan chief Fang next to him and asked if the party had no alcohol.

The answer that    got was not much different from what Fang Huai said.

  Fang Wujiu left here after paying homage to his parents, and never saw him again.

  No one knows where he went.

  Wen Old City asked: "Which two are the tablets of Fang Wujiu's parents?"

  The clan chief Fang pointed to the two tablets in the bottom right corner and said: "These are these two."

  Wen Old City stepped forward and stared at the two tablets for a while, but didn't see anything unusual.

  He sighed, it seems that the big brother did not leave any clues here.

  With the mentality that it’s all here and can’t come in vain, Wenjiucheng asked the clan chief Fang for three sticks of incense.

  He knelt on the futon and knocked three heads at the tablet of Fang Wujiu's parents to show his respect to his elders.

  He stood up Shishiran and inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the two tablets.

  No one noticed that when he inserted the incense, his actions stopped for a while.

  After finishing the incense, the group left Fang's ancestral hall.

  The Fang clan had already known that the affairs of Fang Wu’s restaurant had been known to the county guard. They were afraid of harming themselves, and hurriedly told them all they knew, as well as all the money that Fang Huai had bribed them.

  As punishment, Jian Shujie doubled the tax this year of the Fang clan.

  Double the tax is equivalent to letting the Fang clan turn over all this year’s harvest to the government.

  Fortunately, the harvest in Chengdu in the first two years was not bad. Every household has surplus grain. With the surplus grain, they can barely survive the next year and will not be starved to death, but it is certain that the life of tightening their belts is not easy.

  Under Jian Shujie’s warm invitation, Wen Jiucheng and Shang Kui went to the county guard house.

  They had a very rich dinner in the county guard house.

  When he was full, Shangkui declined Jian Shujie’s enthusiasm to stay, and returned to the inn in a carriage with Wenjicheng.

  Because of drinking a lot of wine at the banquet, Shangkui was already drowsy when he returned to the inn.

  But he still had the spirit of fighting, and called all the Yulin guards over and asked them about the results of their inquiries during the day.

  After some inquiries by Yu Linwei, they learned that the old **** lives in Zizaiguan.

  Zi Zai Guan was originally just a little-known Taoist temple in Fufeng City. After the old gods lived in, the incense there suddenly became vigorous.

  Many people in the city will go to freely observe the hexagrams of the old gods. According to reports, the hexagrams of the old gods are extremely accurate and can be called straightforward.

  He will give three trigrams to people for free every day, and then he will have to collect money to do the fortunes later.

  It is said that an old god’s hexagram requires at least hundreds of taels of silver, and even thousands of taels of gold. The price is staggering, but even so, there are still more people who come to him for fortune-telling than the carp in the river.

  In addition to fortune-telling, the idols in the view of freedom are also a major feature.

  The idol was opened by the old **** himself, as long as you invite it back and worship it religiously, you will get what you want.

  Of course, idols are not free. A idol requires at least ten taels of silver. The better the workmanship, the more expensive it is.

  Now almost every household in Fufeng City offers statues of gods, and the status of old gods in their hearts is extremely lofty.

  After listening to the report, Shangkui only felt that there were so many rich people in Fufeng City!

A Yulin defender said: "The old gods will explain the Taoism in the Taoist temple on the 15th day of every month. As long as the believers who come to listen to the Taoism, they can eat a fast meal for free in the Taoist temple on the same day. There are so many people in Taoist temples."

  Some people really want to listen to Taoism, and some people just want to have a meal.

  But no matter what the reason, it can bring a lot of popularity to Free View.

  Forget the time in the old city of Wen, it happens to be fifteen tomorrow.

  He said to Shangkui.

   "We can mix in the crowd and enter into a sense of freedom tomorrow, and see what kind of character the old **** is like?"

  Shangkui nodded and said yes.

  After returning to the guest room in the old city of Wen, he first read the book for a while, and when the night was completely dark and no voices were heard outside, he put down the book and blew out the candles.

  But instead of going to bed, he woke up Shangkui who was living in the next room.

  Wen Old Town whispered a few words to him.

   Then Shang Kui called two Yulin guards and told them to put on black night clothes and go out for two laps.

  The two Yulin Guards were confused.

  But they didn't ask much wittyly, and did what the commander ordered.

  As soon as the two Yulinwei left the inn with their front feet, two spies followed from the inn on their back feet.

  This scene was seen in full view by Wenjiu City and Shang Kui standing by the window of the guest room on the second floor.

  Shangkui cursed lowly.

   "Sure enough, someone is staring at us secretly!"

  Wen Old City whispered: "I want to go out, you have to help me divert all the spies away."

  Shangkui said that there is no problem.

  Under his arrangement, the Yulin guards left the inn one by one.

  Almost every Yulinwei behind will be followed by a sneaky spy.

  Until the seventh Yulinwei left the inn, there were no spies behind him.

  For the sake of safety, Shang Kui sent two more Yulinwei out. After making sure that there were no spies to follow, Wen Old City put on dark clothes and left the inn.

  He used his light work to walk through the night and came to the gate of Fang's ancestral hall as quickly as possible.

  The gate is locked.

  Wen Old City took out a piece of iron wire from its sleeve, pierced it into the keyhole, turned it slightly, and opened the brass lock with a click.

  He opened the door and walked in slowly.

  In the dim night, the densely packed tablets seem to be extraordinarily permeable.

  Wen Old City walked straight to the tablet of Fang Wujiu's parents.

  He picked up the small incense burner placed in front of the memorial tablet. The incense burner was filled with incense ash, and there were three burnt incense sticks in the incense ash.

  Wen Old City reached out into the incense burner, flipped his fingers inside the incense ash twice, and when he pulled it out, there was already a folded piece of paper between the index finger and the middle finger.

  While offering incense to Fang Wujiu's parents this afternoon, Wenjiu City noticed something hidden in the incense burner.

  He guessed it might be a clue left by the big brother,

  But he was afraid of insecurity around him, so he didn't say anything at the time, and left as if he was okay.

  Until he was sure that no one was following, Wen Old City dared to take out the things hidden in the incense burner.

  ……

  Good morning everyone~

  　 The end of the month, the monthly pass will expire if you don’t have to.

  　　 Everyone, see if there is a monthly pass?

  　　 If you have it, please vote for the salted fish, okay~(づ￣3￣)づ
