Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 710: Snake Spirit Movements

Before the city gates were closed, the surrounding people hurried out of the city.

Qiao Tai followed the common people out of the city, found an inn nearby, asked the innkeeper for a horse, and then rode to Liuzhou.

In just two days, Qiao Tai arrived outside Dayang Mountain. With the snake spirit token given to him by Li Qingxia, he easily entered the main altar of the Snake Cave and met Li Qingxia in golden armor.

"Greetings, Leader." Qiao Tai bowed politely.

"I'm not the leader, I'm just here to manage the snake spirits for Cunxi." Li Qingxia shook her head. "Cunxi asked you to come, so he must have something in mind."

Qiao Tai took out the envelope from his arms and handed it to Li Qingxia.

Then he took out another one and looked around.

"I wonder where the eldest master and mistress are now. My master misses them very much and asked me to bring some letters to them."

"I've called them over, but they all have their own bases, so I'm afraid they won't be able to get here for a while. You should rest for a night."

"Thank you, Chief. I'll put it away then."

"Ah."

Li Qingxia had already opened the envelope and was about to look down at it carefully when she suddenly discovered that there were only eight big words in total.

"The time has come, can we take action?"

"Then let's proceed according to the original plan."

Li Qingxia smiled, but the excitement he concealed well was revealed by the heaving of his chest.

Qiao Tai quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the strange fluctuations on the golden armor.

"Damn it, even with the armor on, he's still like this..."

"I dare not look, I dare not look."

While calming herself down, Li Qingxia walked out of the stone gate, found the members of the Snake Spirit, and asked someone to call over a dozen hall masters from Dayang Mountain.

Ever since the last Chongzhou case, when Xiao Qingfang committed suicide by contacting the Khitan and Turkic people to rebel, the Snake Spirit had been purged from within.

Now, it has been found out that among the twenty-two halls of Snake Spirit, those who did not openly rebel but secretly pledged allegiance to Xiao Qingfang have been found out. The successors of the hall master who died in the internal strife of Snake Spirit were all promoted by Li Qingxia and are all loyal.

This time, Li Qingxia decided to clean up the Snake Spirit and only keep those who were with them.

Soon, Li Qingxia returned to the stone chamber and poured a cup of tea for Qiao Tai.

"You've worked hard along the way. Cunxi wants you to follow us so that you can pass on messages to him at any time."

"From now on, just stay here. I'll have someone arrange a room for you later."

Qiao Tai was flattered and took the teacup, bowing and saying:

"understood."

Li Qingxia nodded and sat aside waiting.

About half an hour later, three figures walked into the stone chamber together. They were Kui Wenzhong, Xiaomei and Xiaofeng.

"Finally, we can see the light of day again." Kui Wenzhong curled his lips into a smile, "Qingxia, we must do something big this time!"

"I called you here to have a big fight. We will proceed according to the original plan."

Li Qingxia stood up and poured tea for the three of them.

"Wen Zhong, you and Xiao Mei will set off tomorrow for Hanguang Temple."

"Prepare to assassinate Wu Ni."

Kui Wenzhong and Xiaomei each nodded and responded.

According to the original plan, the two were the protagonists of the pilgrimage to Hanguang Temple, one to assassinate Wu Zetian and the other to protect Wu Zetian.

The ultimate goal is to naturally reveal the identity of Kui Wenzhong.

Only when Kui Wenzhong's identity is made public can it cause unrest among most officials in the court.

Of course, if Li Cunxi was not the King of Qin now, even if Kui Wenzhong's identity was exposed, not many people would pay attention to his identity as the son of Duke Huang.

"Big sister, we are here."

Xiaohui's voice was heard outside the stone chamber.

Two Snake Spirit members pushed open the door of the stone chamber and let the thirteen hall masters, led by Xiaohui, into the stone chamber.

As soon as Xiaohui came in, she saw Qiao Tai standing aside like a stone man, and immediately understood what had happened.

The plan they had been planning for a long time was finally about to begin.

"Miss!"

All the hall masters clasped their fists towards Jin Mulan.

"We came here immediately after receiving the order. I wonder what Big Sister needs us to do?"

Li Qingxia held her forehead with one hand and was not very happy with the title of "big sister".

The Snake Spirit has had only three leaders so far. The second Snake Spirit leader, Xiao Qingfang, had people call her "Big Sister", and everyone seemed to be used to it. Even after Xiao Qingfang's death, they still called her, Li Qingxia, "Big Sister".

Speaking of big...

Li Qingxia lowered her head...it was indeed quite big.

But these people can't shout like that, "Sister Snake Spirit", it's so unlucky.

"Ugh."

Li Qingxia put aside the thoughts in her mind and turned to the hall masters with fiery eyes.

"Everyone, I ordered you to come here for an important matter!"

"As everyone knows, the founder of our Snake Spirit, Yuan Tiangang, was imprisoned for nearly ten years because of the Luohe miracle."

"After years of development, our Snake Spirit has become a massive force with twenty-two halls and over twenty-five hundred people."

"Now that the mystery of the Luo River is approaching, we must rescue the old master and ask him what the mystery of the Luo River is."

"You all need to obey my arrangements and do your best."

"Now, I declare that the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Halls will remain in Liuzhou."

"The Tenth and Eleventh Halls secretly entered Ruzhou and were responsible for delivering the message back."

"The Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, and Twenty-second Halls have infiltrated Luozhou in batches, ready to obey the orders of the Ninth Hall Master and Shining."

Li Qingxia looked at the hall masters at the back and gave orders.

The last few hall masters looked at each other. Although they were not very willing to sneak into Luozhou, they did not dare to disobey orders.

The previous hall masters had no second thoughts. Upon hearing this, they just felt that they had to do their job well.

Kui Wenzhong and Xiaomei looked at each other and knew that once the heads of the other nine halls entered Luozhou, they would never be allowed to leave.

These people must die.

"Big sister, we already have enough manpower. Can I not bring my brothers from the Ninth Hall with me?"

Xiaomei blinked her eyes, really not wanting to send all her old brothers who had been through life and death with her into the coffin.

"Well, that's fine too."

Li Qingxia made the final decision and settled this small matter.

Of the seven hall masters who were destined to die in Luozhou, three were guarding other places in Liuzhou and were unable to return. When the remaining four heard this, they felt that something was wrong, but they could not find out what it was.

Even if they found out, it would be useless.

The rules of the Snake Spirit are there, and even if it's a big deal, they have to obey the orders given by the leader.

"Everyone, you don't need to know now what you are going to do after you arrive in Luozhou and Ruzhou."

"When we get to Luozhou and meet the First Hall Master Huan Bin and the Second Hall Master Mo Ling, they will tell you."

"The Transformation Spirit of the 12th Hall Master, the Main Spirit of the 14th Hall Master, and the Sword Spirit of the 17th Hall Master are all in Luoyang now. Your actions will be quite simple then."
