207　　Qimuge said: "Yes, sir, I understand."

　　"By the way, do you have any idea about the Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms?"

　　"Sir, the remaining members of the Beggars' Sect really don't seem to know where the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms is. I have used all the torture methods on them, but they still refuse to confess."

　　"They are still a group of tough guys."

　　"No, sir, based on my many years of experience, they may really not know."

　　"Oh, that's a pity. The Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms is a pretty good technique."

　　"Don't worry, sir. I have thought of a good way. Maybe I can help you get this secret book."

　　"What is the solution?"

　　Qimuge said, "Among the captured people, there is one named Zhou Peng. He couldn't stand the torture and is willing to surrender to us. I thought why not support him and see if he can replace the old beggar. In the future, he can go north and steal a copy of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms secret book from the Beggars' Sect headquarters. It can be considered as making good use of waste."

　　"Yes, yes."

　　Darughachi replied with one sentence and then stopped talking.

　　Qimuge bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

　　…

　　In the Chen family courtyard, Wu Zhong was already drunk. Wu Hong carried his father and said goodbye to Chen Jie and the others.

　　Wu Hong also had his own courtyard in the city. Before leaving, Chen Jie stuffed a letter and a silver note of one hundred taels into Wu Zhong's arms. It was the silver that Wu Zhong gave him when he first came to the city. It could be considered as a way of repaying a favor and paying off a debt.

　　After saying goodbye to Wu Zhong, Hua Sanniang and her people also left.

　　The little guy Ruirui had eaten his fill and had fallen asleep long ago. He was now sleeping soundly next to the stone mill.

　　Chen Jie picked her up and saw that her little face was covered with millstone wrinkles. He then carried her into her little house.

　　Chen Jie and Su Yunjin returned to their room.

　　Su Yunjin said: "Husband, you... killed someone again?"

　　Chen Jie was stunned. He knew that Su Yunjin had a very sensitive nose. He paused and said, "When you are in the arena, you have no choice."

　　Su Yunjin said: "Well, I won't ask any more questions. You must be tired. I will wash your feet."

　　Su Yunjin brought a basin of hot water, placed Chen Jie's feet in the basin, and gently kneaded them with her small hands.

　　Chen Jie leaned on the wooden railing of the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

　　Seeing that her husband had fallen asleep like this, the wife washed and wiped his feet, then helped him change to a comfortable lying position, then lay quietly behind him and hugged him.

　　My dear, you must be very tired. I am always here to accompany you.

　　Chen Jie seemed to have some realization and held her hand.

　　The night was long and Chen Jie was awakened by the system's prompt sound.

　　[Today's intelligence has been updated (level 2)]

　　[1. Today you investigated the case of Zheng Chuan colluding with the rebels and obtained information that the Darughachi Mansion learned that someone was colluding with Zoroastrianism and privately selling ironware. The information was provided by Feng Xuan.]

　　[2. Today you go to Zheng's house and get information. Zheng Chuan was in a hurry when he ran away. There is a sum of 10,000 taels of silver buried under the lotus pond in the house.]

　　[3. Today you go to Jixiang Temple and get information that Jixiang Temple was originally a dilapidated temple, but was later heavily funded by Nan Batian, who recruited Master Jingxiang, an abandoned disciple of Emei, as the abbot.]

　　[4. Today you met Master Jingxiang and got information that Master Jingxiang was originally an outer disciple of Emei. Later, she made a mistake and was driven into the Jianghu. Later, she was taken in by Nan Batian.]

　　[5. Since you have locked onto the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, you have obtained information that the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms is hidden in Jixiang Temple, Room A! ]

Chapter 132 Madam: Jiusi, is this the Avici Hell?

　　Um!

　　Looking at the information refreshed by the system today, Chen Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.

　　Because today's intelligence actually includes the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms that he had been dreaming of!

　　Moreover, intelligence showed that the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms was at the Jixiang Temple that he had visited today.

　　[Room No. Tianzi Jia] This sounds like the room where the top leader in Jixiang Temple lives?

　　Is this Master Shizuka's room?

　　But why is the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms placed in the Jixiang Temple? Could it be that this old beggar is having an affair with Master Jingxiang?

　　Chen Jie thought of a possibility, but it was just a guess and there was no real evidence.

　　Or maybe the old beggar deliberately found a place that was far away from the place and put the secret book there, so that no matter how hard anyone tried, they would not be able to find the Jixiang Temple.

　　If he hadn't been thinking about the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms all the time and hadn't accidentally broken into the Jixiang Temple, he probably wouldn't have been able to directly activate the intelligence system and give the exact location.

　　After many experiments, Chen Jie discovered that the mechanism for refreshing intelligence in this intelligence system requires previous contact.

　　After the upgrade, there is an additional function of locking information with the mind, but this function also seems to be related to contact.

　　For example, in recent days, Chen Jie locked onto the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, and all of them were obtained some unimportant information. Only this time, after going to Jixiang Temple, the system immediately locked onto Jixiang Temple and gave the exact location.

　　If I hadn't come across Jixiang Temple today, the information I would have obtained would probably be that the location of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms was in a large area thirty miles south of Mianshui City.

　　It won't be specific to a specific room.

　　Now, in Room No. 1, Chen Jie thought about it and decided that it was not appropriate to go there today. The city gates were closed and the people of the fishing gang had withdrawn. If he went out of the city again, he would be too conspicuous and that would not be a good thing.

　　Especially when looking for peerless magical skills like the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, one should be more cautious.

　　Let's go tomorrow and explore Jixiang Temple at night!

　　After making up a plan in mind, I looked at other information.

　　The first piece of information solved a puzzle for Chen Jie. The reselling of ironware had been going on for more than a year. Why was it not discovered earlier or later, but at this time? It turned out that there was a secret behind it by Feng Xuanming.

　　Let's think about Si Xi's reactions before and after Wang Da became rich.

　　Chen Jie got an answer. Zheng Chuan had indeed done the stupid thing of colluding with Zoroastrianism to engage in smuggling, and was also the murderer of Lao Si.

　　But there has actually been a driving force behind this, and that is Feng Xuan.

　　All of this was a trap set by Feng Xuan, a trap targeting Zheng Chuan.

　　Chen Jie suspected that Feng Xuan knew about Zheng Chuan's smuggling of ironware from the beginning, and it was even a trap set by Feng Xuan to trick Zheng Chuan into falling into. Zheng Chuan was stupid enough to actually fall into it.

　　Then he forced Zheng Chuan to this point step by step, and finally he reported it, which ignited a fire among Darughachi.

　　With the status of Darughachi, he put pressure on Peng Shizhong, forcing him to take ruthless action to deal with Zheng Chuan.

　　Chen Jie could see through Peng Shizhong's character. He had the typical mentality of a parent and was somewhat doting on his children. If Darughachi had not intervened in this matter, Peng Shizhong would never have been so cruel as to kill him.

　　And Feng Xuan obviously knew his adoptive father very well.

　　If you don't take action, it's fine. But if you do take action, it's a killing move.

　　My elder brother is really as venomous as a snake.

　　Chen Jie became wary of Feng Xuan. He had to be careful with people like him, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

　　Let's look at the second piece of information.

　　There were actually 10,000 taels of silver hidden in the Zheng Mansion, and Zheng Chuan buried it under the lotus pond.

　　Ten thousand taels, this is really not a small amount of money. Well, it's unexpected money. I'll grab it when I get a chance. It will be just right to fill my own piggy bank.

　　Then there is the third and fourth pieces of information. Putting them together, it turns out that Master Jingxiang was originally an outer disciple of Emei, but unfortunately an abandoned disciple.

　　What is an abandoned disciple?

　　That is, the disciple who has been abandoned by the sect. From then on, Emei will no longer recognize you as an Emei disciple. And whether you live or die in the martial arts world, whether you are successful or destitute and begging, it has nothing to do with Emei.

　　This is the abandoned disciple, the disciple who draws a clear line between himself and others.

　　But even though he is an abandoned disciple, he still has good vision. After all, he has been in the big sects in the martial arts world.

　　It seems that I have to be more careful when I visit Jixiang Temple at night.

　　After checking the intelligence, Chen Jie slowly stood up, but unexpectedly he alarmed Su Yunjin.

　　The young lady hugged Chen Jie and said, "Today, don't go practice shooting today, stay with me!"

　　"You didn't sleep?"

　　Chen Jie turned to look at the young lady at this time. The young lady looked at him and said, "I slept for a while, and I woke up when you moved."

　　Upon hearing this, Chen Jie stretched out his hands and hugged the young lady's slender waist and said, "It's impossible not to practice with the spear, come on, lady, you practice with me.

　　Woohoo…

　　The night was filled with boundless spring beauty, and the two were intimate with each other.

　　No words were spoken that night, until the next morning.

　　Chen Jie felt refreshed, but the young lady was unable to get out of bed. Although a night of spring flowers was better than countless other things in the world, it still made her muscles tired and her body sore.

　　But it is not the case with Chen Jie. Practicing martial arts has made his body extremely strong.

　　His foundation is too good, no delicate girl can compete with him.

　　"Ah~Brother-in-law, where's my sister?"

　　The little bean came out yawning, and Chen Jie said, "He's staying in bed."

　　At this time, Su Yunjin in the room wanted to get up, but the numbness in her waist and knees made her curl up in the quilt.

　　Hearing this, Xiao Douding laughed and said, "What a lazy bug! The sun is about to burn your butt."

　　Hearing this, Chen Jie smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, let your sister sleep for a while. Come on, brother-in-law will take you to have breakfast."

　　"What do you want to eat today?"

　　"Meat wontons."

　　"Okay, let's have the meat wontons."

　　"I want two bowls."

　　"Okay, brother-in-law will order four bowls for you. Eat two bowls. How about two bowls?"
