Yizhou.

Sheriff's Mansion.

Wei Lanfeng checked the entire office room before sitting on a chair to rest.

Just after I closed my eyes and rested for a short while, there was a knock on the door outside.

Yun Ying walked in from outside.

His face is more serious.

"Master Wei, the garrison has been integrated."

"Wang Junying told some truth."

"Among the garrison, those soldiers who were obviously bribed have been dealt with by Wang Junying."

"In the eyes of others, Wang Junying is the faction that opposes Wan Yiren."

"Who would have thought that this was all a pretense he deliberately created. In fact, he is Wan Yiren's true loyalist."

Yun Ying said slowly.

Wei Lanfeng did not ask Yun Ying how he investigated.

Yun Ying is the commander of the personal guards around Luo Fengtang. It is a true life-and-death friendship and he is absolutely trustworthy, so there is no need to doubt his judgment.

"Even if Wang Junying is Wan Yiren's loyal supporter, he can continue to pretend, or even change his family to join us, which is still a way out. Why did he choose a dead end in the end?"

Wei Lanfeng said calmly.

This aspect was difficult for him to understand.

Generally, those who are bribed by Wan Yiren are selfish people who focus on their own interests. For those people, it should be an instinct to act according to the prevailing circumstances.

Now the entire county magistrate's mansion has been sealed off.

Wang Junying has no way out. Under such circumstances, it stands to reason that a person like Wang Junying should not be like a dead soldier and take risks to commit an assassination that is difficult to succeed.

But Wang Junying did it.

"Maybe it has something to do with this?"

Yun Ying turned over his hands and placed a jade box on the table.

"What's this?"

"Fushou Ointment!" Yun Ying said with a solemn expression.

"The imperial court has long banned Fushou Ointment, but even if it is Fushou Ointment, how can it be related to the assassination?"

Wei Lanfeng asked.

"This is no ordinary longevity ointment!"

"Ordinary Fushou ointment can become addictive after being smoked, but there is always a limit."

"This special longevity ointment can control people's minds and even make them forget life and death."

Yun Ying said.

"Is it so scary?"

Even if Wei Lanfeng trusted Yun Ying again, he would have some doubts about his words at this moment.

Maybe Yun Ying made a mistake? Is there such a powerful longevity ointment in this world?

"This special Fu Shou Ointment has different ingredients from the previous Fu Shou Ointment. As long as you suck the powder from a fingernail, you will have hallucinations soon. Experienced wizards can use this hallucination to plant spiritual thoughts in the smoker.

So that it can obey the wizard's orders."

Yun Ying explained.

"Is this the method of the Southern Witch Cult?"

When Wei Lanfeng heard this, he realized that this method was very different from that of the Black Lotus. This basically ruled out the possibility that the Black Lotus was the mastermind behind this.

"It's very similar, but the Southern Witch Cult is generally only popular in South Vietnam. In the southwest of Daqi, not many people believe in the Southern Witch Cult..."

Yun Ying frowned.

"It's hard to say that the Southern Witch Cult is not a kind person. They are only in the land of South Vietnam. That's because they were blocked from Da Qi's country by the Black Lotus Cult."

"I heard that the Black Lotus Sect used voodoo to defeat the witchcraft of the Southern Witch Sect..."

Wei Lanfeng had obviously heard some rumors from the past.

"Where did Mr. Wei hear this?"

Yun Ying said doubtfully.

He had never heard of these rumors.

He has been following Luo Fengtang for many years. He spends most of his time training and rarely inquires about gossip.

"I have a good friend who likes to travel and inquire about those things. He mentioned this to me before when I was chatting."

Wei Lanfeng tapped his fingers on the table.

"Does this longevity ointment really have such strange and terrifying effects?"

Wei Lanfeng returned to the original question.

"It's true. When we were in Zhuque County, the great elder of the Southern Witch Cult, Wu Ma Qingshi, and everyone from the Southern Witch Cult were besieged by the general. I have dealt with many people from the Southern Witch Cult, and I just listened to them.

I have talked about the new blessing and longevity ointment. This kind of thing is also a taboo in their religion. Generally, those who can control this kind of blessing and longevity ointment are basically elders."

Yun Ying paused for a moment, then continued: "The elders of the Southern Witch Sect are different from the elders in other places. Each of their elders is the chief of some local jungle tribes, and they all have high status.

status."

"The Grand Elder of the Southern Witch Cult can only represent a part of the forces. It is difficult to restrain the elders from other places. Only when there is a big mistake can the Elder be brought to the meeting to exercise the privileges of the Grand Elder."

"So, it is very likely that an elder from the Southern Witch Cult is colluding with Wan Yiren?"

Wei Lanfeng said.

"Let's start from this place and see if we can find the person behind it."

Yun Ying said.

"Okay, this matter must be informed to the general in time and let the general make a decision."

Wei Lanfeng said.

…

Snow has been brewing in Yizhou City for a day, and finally started to fall in the evening.

At this time, the top of Rongshan Mountain was already covered with snowflakes all over the sky.

"It's always colder up there than down there."

A man in his early thirties, with his hands behind his back, wearing a bearskin coat, looked at the snowy scene in the distance.

"Longtou, this winter is going to be difficult again."

The other man standing next to him has broad shoulders, a big head, and big hands and feet. He looks like a hero at first glance.

He is a leader of Rongshan Village, named Wang Boqian.

There is a word for money in his name, but this person is generous with money and does not take money seriously. He also has good archery skills and is quite famous in the world of Yizhou.

And the leader he was talking about was none other than Zhang Tianyi, the largest leader in Rongshan Village.

"It's more difficult than in previous years. The snow this year is heavier, and the food in Yizhou City is extremely short. I think it will be difficult for us to get enough food."

Zhang Tianyi sighed.

Many Jianghu warriors are ignorant. They think that after entering the village and gathering together, they can drink wine and eat meat without having to worry about anything.

In fact, it's not that simple?

Wine, meat, food, clothing to keep out the cold, etc. These materials cannot be produced out of thin air. They all need people to produce them, or to exchange things for things.

As for what to say about going down the mountain to grab...

That worked for the first two years, but now it is the third year of copycats, and almost everything that can be snatched has been grabbed.

It's simply not feasible to follow the path we took at the beginning.

As the leader, Zhang Tianyi must find a new way out for everyone.

But no matter which path you take, not everyone will be satisfied.

"Longtou, how is your contact with the court?"

Wang Boqian was not trying to hide anything, but asked directly.
