Suzaku Fury

Chapter 20 [15 Another way]

"Very good! Very good! Hehehe!" Wang Pu came back bouncing, "I really deserve to be a member of Dali Temple! Come, come, I will discuss it with you!"

Yuchi Zhenjin raised his red eyebrows, glanced at Di Renjie again, and said, "Is Doctor Wang able to find this fire dragon oil?"

Wang Pu narrowed his eyes, made a gesture of stroking his beard, curled his lips and said, "If you want to find unusual things in Tang Dynasty, you have to go to one place."

Di Renjie asked: "Where?"

Wang Pu stopped his movements, grinned at them and said, "Ghost market."

"Ghost city?!" The two said in unison.

"Hey hey!" Wang Pu saw the unexpected expressions of both of them, so he said in a mysterious way: "There is a rumor in the market that the dark clouds are closed and the ghost market is open, and all the ghosts and snakes come out. There are no ghosts and ghosts in the world. Bao Jun is satisfied and happy. Also Fortunately for you, today is an extremely cloudy night in January, with dark clouds covering the top, the sun and the moon are dark, and Zishi is the time when the gate of the ghost market opens."

Yuchi Zhenjin pondered for a moment, then asked again: "The ghost market, how do I get there?"

"You've got the point!" Wang Pu smiled 'hee hee', and glanced at the two of them with sly eyes, "The ghost market was formed by the sinking of the old city in the Han Dynasty, and the new city was rebuilt by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. On top of that, the place was dark, full of gods and ghosts, surrounded by black mist, and the entrance of the ghost market changed from time to time. place."

"Black market!" Di Renjie suddenly yelled, "Doctor Wang Pu, please take me to the ghost market no matter what!"

"Hey! Di Renjie, what are you in a hurry for?" Wang Pu smiled and said, "It's not that the old man won't take you there, it's just that everything is ready now, and I only owe a windfall."

"Dongfeng?" Yuchi thought for a while, "Physician Wang might as well speak out."

"It's better for you!" Wang Pu happily patted Yuchi's arm, "I don't need anything, only a woman."

"woman?"

"woman!"

Di Renjie and Yuchi Zhenjin reacted differently, but they both overreacted.After the two shouted, they couldn't help but silently looked at each other, and then quickly moved away.

Wang Pu continued: "The entrance of the ghost market is erratic, but it is not without rules to follow. I will guide you, so you don't have to worry about this. But the ghost market is located in an underground water vein. There is no land road there, only an underground dark road. The river runs through it. Therefore, if you want to find things in the ghost market, you have to take a boat. The ferrymen in the ghost market have a particular point. They believe in the five elements of yin and yang, and they believe that the balance of yin and yang can sail safely. There are five people on board, and four guests, one of whom must be a woman."

"It's just," Di Renjie couldn't help frowning, "The investigation of Dali Temple has always been a secret, where can we find a woman who knows the truth?"

Wang Pu laughed out loud.He pushed Yuchi away, walked up to Di Renjie and said, "This old man never thought of 'finding' a woman. Besides, a boat carries four people, one more person is redundant."

Di Renjie rolled his eyes and said anxiously: "What does the imperial doctor mean, let us 'change' a woman?"

"That's right! That's right! It's just to 'change' one." Wang Pu said happily, "I can't change it, and Sha Tuo's boy is not strong enough, so there are only two of you left."

Hearing this, Yuchi Zhenjin cast a sideways glance at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie met his suggestive eyes, and quickly looked away at Wang Pu: "Then I'll do it..."

"You can't either!" Wang Pu resolutely refused, "There are two reasons: first, you have a beard, and second, you look too masculine. To save trouble, I already have the most suitable candidate in my heart." Just as Wang Pu wanted to point at Yuchi Zhenjin, a cold long sword was hung around his neck.

"Are you teasing me?" Yuchi Zhenjin narrowed his eyes slightly, almost gnashing his teeth.

Even though there was a sharp knife on his neck, Wang Pu was not afraid, he still pouted his lips high: "I don't know who just kept saying that as long as I say the conditions, he can do it? Who is it? That Dali Temple Minister who keeps his promises?"

"You!" Yuchi Zhenjin was so angry that he pressed the long sword on his neck, and a blood mark immediately appeared on Wang Pu's gray neck.

"My lord!" Seeing that something was wrong, Di Renjie quickly stepped forward to stop him, "My lord, please put the overall situation first!"

Yuchi glared at him and shouted, "Get out of the way!!"

Di Renjie persuaded again: "My lord, Imperial Physician Wang must have his reasons for making such a request. Besides, it is the first time we have heard of the ghost market, and among us Imperial Physician Wang Pu knows something about it, so we can only trust Imperial Physician Wang Said."

Seeing that Yuchi was a little loose, he persuaded him again while the iron was hot: "Does your lord remember the Linyi Chenxiang we found in Fang Jian's house before?"

When Yuchi heard this, he immediately glared at him.

"Fang Jian's private embezzlement of tributes is definitely not a one-time thing. Such a large amount of high-quality agarwood cannot be kept at home. What's more, the tributes that have not been found by us are not only agarwood."

"Pursuing tribute is a capital crime, and if it is serious, it will punish the entire family. If Fang Jian wants to resell it for money, he must be very careful, so of course it is impossible to sell it in the market. He must also know that there is such a ghost market. There is a market. That's why he came up with the idea of ​​embezzling the tribute."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, Yuchi had slowly let go of Wang Pu.

"My lord, this black market, not to mention the possibility of finding out the source of the dragon oil from the Western Regions here, is definitely an excellent place to investigate the case of Fang Jian's embezzlement of tributes! With such a double-edged sword, maybe we can find out the behind-the-scenes of the Suzaku case as soon as possible." How sacred is the hand, and the case can be closed as soon as possible!"

Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at him, put his sword back into its sheath, and then glared at Wang Pu again: "Why do you only teach me how to make women's clothes! If you can tell me why, I will agree."

"Well..." Wang Pu's eyeballs rolled, and he immediately made up his mind, and said with a playful smile: "This one, you have red hair and blue eyes, and you come from the Western Regions, and the Western Regions are very windy and sandy, so you can wear black clothes and a veil." , if you don’t speak, there will be no doubts, and the ferrymen will not verify their identity, so you just need to deceive their eyes; second, as the minister of Dali Temple, if you enter and exit the ghost market blatantly, you will definitely make the ghost market go. People have worries, but if they disguise themselves and cover their faces, this problem will be solved. So, can I convince you?"

Yuchi glanced at him, snorted coldly, turned and left.

"Huh? This..." Wang Pu was about to chase him out, but he was stopped by Di Renjie.

"My lord, that's the answer. I'm sorry for the imperial physician Wang Pu. My lord and I may go back to Dali Temple to make some preparations. We will come here to meet you and Sha Tuo after dark. Do you think this is okay?"

Wang Pu stroked his bald chin, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll give you some time to prepare. Remember, the gate of the ghost market opens at Zishi, and once Zishi passes, we won't be able to take advantage of this trip to the market." .If you want to go again, you have to wait until the next month when it is extremely cloudy."

Di Renjie bowed his hands to him, and said respectfully: "Di understood, so he stepped back first."

Wang Pu put one hand on his hip, and said, "Let's go."

When Sha Tuo came out again, he saw Wang Pu standing alone in the messy front hall, looking at the front yard that had lost the gate and muttering:

"This kid, why are you a little excited?"

Sha Tuo walked around the hall, and found that Di Renjie and Yuchi Zhenjin were gone, so he hurried up and asked, "Master, where are they?"

Wang Pu turned his head, gave him a 'hee hee' smile, and said triumphantly: "Yuchi Zhenjin wants to play tricks with me, he is still a little tender!"

Shatuo was at a loss when he heard it, and before he could ask, Wang Pu asked sharply, "Are all the incompetent people inside dead?"

"Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother are all fine, they are both flesh wounds, but Fourth Junior Brother's injury is more serious, and now, right now, he is crying inside..."

"Crying? Wow! It's all trash!" Wang Pu wiped his face, and found a layer of gray and black, feeling even more irritable, and rushed into the inner hall screaming strangely.

"Master, master..." Sha Tuo still wanted to ask Wang Pu and Di Renjie where they were going, but the current situation here with Wang Pu couldn't help him to withdraw.

Shatuo recalled for a moment what his master had said to himself just now, and with the few words he overheard in the room just now, he glanced at the ruined courtyard half-understood, then turned and ran back to the inner hall.
