Chapter 58: Wushan Thief (1)
In Chen Qingmian's alchemy room, an eighth-level alchemy furnace was still warm. The girl raised her little hand and raised the furnace lid in the air, and a richer aroma floated out. Just one sniff made people feel that their limbs were fully connected.
The spiritual energy in the meridians is active.
"Yes, that's the taste." Song Zheng said leisurely, and Chen Qingmian pointed to the recipe hanging on the wall, showing off proudly: "Thirteen precious high-level beast meat and bone marrow, the weight cannot be more than a penny.
Everything is essential, and it is refined using alchemy methods to achieve the best effect and taste at the same time.”
Song Zheng raised his eyes and saw that the prescription was indeed good, exactly the same as Miao Yun'er's.
He couldn't wait for Chen Qingmian's invitation, so he walked to the alchemy cauldron, took a spoon and took a taste.
He thought about it over and over in his mouth, but unfortunately he finally shook his head: "Everything is right, but why is it different when you eat it?"
Everyone in the Chen family was confused and didn't understand what Song Zheng meant. He put down his spoon, his disappointment palpable.
"Because people are different..." He sighed in his heart and reluctantly smiled at Chen Qingmian. Fortunately, he had not forgotten the business. He left the alchemy furnace and said to Chen Fulong: "We have almost investigated the things in Duanyang City.
It’s Ma Daquan’s problem.”
"There are still many official matters in Huzhou City. I will leave tonight. If anything happens in the future, you can contact me with this homophonic bone talisman."
He handed Chen Fulong a homophonic bone charm, and Chen Fulong had no choice but to accept it. The two wealthy elders smiled. It seemed that the inspector still couldn't let go of Chen Qingmian. This would be easy to handle. In the future, the Chongdao clan would be in the five states of Jiangnan.
You can walk sideways.
Song Zheng waved to everyone: "Goodbye."
After leaving the Chongdao Clan, he took the time to go to the Xucheng Clan and the Honghe Clan.
Xucheng is a city in the southwest of Xizhou with a large population. The people of Xucheng are very united in Duanyang, and gradually formed the Xucheng Gang. They have obvious regional characteristics and have always been quite domineering in Duanyang City. If they are slightly unsatisfied, they will unite with everyone.
The township party forced the palace.
Yanque came into contact with the Xucheng Gang and purchased six first-level elixirs "Baiqiao Dan" from a secret trading firm under the Xucheng Gang. This elixir is a healing medicine. Anyone below Tianzun and below can use it as long as they have a breath.
One magic pill can save your life.
Baiqiao Dan is expensive. The Xucheng Gang asked for 10 million yuan in jade for each piece, but the other party bought it without blinking an eye. They used jade tickets from the "Huaxu Guoyin", the largest bank in the ancient Huaxu Kingdom. Linghedong
Shore, the Seven Heroes of the Human Race can be redeemed anywhere.
The Xucheng gang has been keeping these six 10 million jade tickets and not daring to spend them.
The Honghe Sect is a local gang that was born and raised in Duanyang City. It is well-connected and well-informed. It is said that there is no news in this city that they cannot hear.
Yanque came into contact with the Honghe Sect and negotiated with an incense owner below them. He wanted to hire an ancestor to protect him when he went to the capital for 30 million yuan in jade. However, the deal was not concluded in the end because the Honghe Sect's elder
Zu didn't want to lower himself to become a bodyguard.
The incense master has been staying at the main altar of the Honghe Sect and does not dare to act at will.
Song Zheng told them that the case was over and he was about to return to Huzhou City. The imperial court would send new Qianhu to the Zhenshan Guards.
After leaving Honghe, Song Zheng took a look at the sky. It was still more than an hour before dark. He calculated his plan in his mind: "It's time to visit the Jiufurong family."
This visit was very "private". He only brought Mr. Qi Bingchen with him. Du Baihu took Long Yiwei back to Zhenshanwei Yamen first.
In a secluded alley to the west of the Prefectural Government Office, there are shades of ancient trees, and the stone carvings on both sides of the road are simple and clumsy. They have been exposed to rain and wind for thousands of years, and every detail reflects the age of this place.
There is only one house in the alley, which is low-key and calm. I feel like I am standing still despite the storms outside.
This is the main residence of the Jiufu Rong family, a long-established family in Xizhou. The Rong family has taken root here for six thousand years. Calculated according to time, it is truly a medieval family.
However, in terms of strength, they seem to have been floating between the Eternal Family and the Medieval Family, neither above nor below. The Rong family gives people the feeling that they are happy to be in this state.
The ancestors of the Rong family are famous all over the world for their "Nine Talismans of Destiny". There was once a strong man who ruled the country in his family, but that was his glory four thousand years ago.
Later, the Rong family became famous in Jiangnan for its talisman business, and is now the largest talisman merchant in the five states in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Rong clan are all masters of spells. They make their own and sell them, as well as sell some products from other spell families.
Rong was low-key, and Song Zheng was also low-key. He knocked on the side door and handed his name card in. The doorman inside shivered after reading the post. After all, this person had just suppressed Zhou Mu and broke Zhenshan.
guard.
"My lord, please come in and drink tea. I will ask the master to come out immediately."
Song Zheng smiled: "Thank you."
The chief steward of Rong's front hall immediately came out to serve Song Zheng and Qi Bingchen. As a distinguished guest, he was not qualified to accompany them, so he could only stand aside and serve tea and water.
Fortunately, it didn't take long, and a kind-faced old man came out of the back hall with a smile, and greeted him from a distance: "Master Song, Master Qi, you are so prosperous. I, the Rong family, have not had two people with this status for a long time."
Your distinguished guest."
Song Zheng stood up and returned the courtesy: "Rong, please be polite."
Rong Shiliang, the current head of the Jiufu Rong family, is 390 years old this year and looks like a seventy-year-old man. He is the peak ancestor, and his level of strength is comparable to that of Qi Bingchen. He has been in charge of the Rong family for 120 years.
During this period, Rong's family was like a ship sailing on a flat river, steady and steady without any wind or waves.
After he sat down, he said: "Senior Bangong Xie asked me to deliver a letter. He and Mr. Rong are old friends."
Rong Shiliang nodded repeatedly: "Bangong and Rong have been friends for a long time. More than two hundred years ago, we traveled to the north with swords and sailed to the south of the sea. How has he been in the past few years?"
Song Zheng handed over Bangong Xie's letter and replied: "It's very good. Bangong's family is flourishing in Huzhou City."
Rong Shiliang said with a smile: "That's good, I'll read Brother Bangong's letter first."
After a while, he finished reading, folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. After sorting it out, he said calmly: "Your Excellency, I am honored to be the inspector of the south of the Yangtze River, in charge of all matters of the Longyi Guard in the five states. You are young and promising, and you can condescend to me."
It is an honor for me, Mr. Rong, to come to Jiu Fu Rong in person.
There is also a recommendation from a letter from Mr. Bangong, so Yugong and Private Rong will definitely help me.
Let's do this. Come here, bring the set of 'Eight Gate Golden Wave Talisman' from the 'Tianfu Tower' and give it to Mr. Song."
The servant followed the order and left. Rong Shiliang still smiled and said to Song Zheng: "I, Mr. Rong, have been focusing on the talisman business these years. Apart from the spiritual talismans, I really have nothing to offer. Don't dislike me, sir."
The Eight Gate Golden Wave Talisman is extremely powerful, equivalent to a ninth-level magic weapon. And compared to magic weapons, the threshold for using the magic talisman is extremely low, but it is consumed faster than the magic weapon.
Rong Shiliang seemed to be very sincere in sending a set of "Eight Gate Golden Wave Talisman", and it was a ninth-level magic weapon, which gave Song Zheng and Pangong Xie plenty of face.
However, the expressions of Song Zheng and Qi Bingchen turned cold. Song Zheng thought for a while, waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. This set of spiritual talismans is too precious, and I deserve it."
He stood up and said goodbye: "Since the letter from Senior Pangong Xie has been brought, I am busy with official duties, so I won't stay any longer, so I will take my leave."
Rong Shiliang said quickly: "Master Song, please don't be polite. You must accept this set of eight-door golden wave talismans."
Song Zheng pushed away and left. Rong Shiliang kept sending him out of the door. When Song Zheng walked out of the alley, Qi Bingchen snorted: "I don't know how to praise!"
Song Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "But from another aspect, it can be seen that the situation in Duanyang City is complicated, and even the Jiufu Rong clan is not optimistic about us."
Qi Bingchen turned around and glanced at the Rong family's main house, which was hidden among ancient trees, and sneered: "Short-sighted, if not for this, the Rong family would have become a noble family in the Middle Ages."
Before Song Zheng left Huzhou, he secretly asked everyone around him if there were any acquaintances in Duanyang. To enter Duanyang, he needed a local snake who was familiar with the situation in Duanyang.
Bangong Xie immediately said that he and Rong Shiliang, the head of the Jiufurong family, were old friends. He immediately wrote a letter saying that Mr. Song had just arrived in Duanyang and was in a strange situation. He also asked his old friends for more help. Mr. Song was fair and would not
It will make him suffer.
All he needs to do is make it clear that Song Zheng lacks helpers in Duanyang. As long as you, the Jiu Fu Rong clan, are willing to help, your benefits will be indispensable in the future.
The reason why Song Zheng didn't come to Rong Shiliang as soon as he entered Duanyang was because he had experienced being under heavenly fire. He knew very well that Rong Shiliang was not Shi Yi or the others, so why should he bother you?
So he waited until he had opened up a certain situation in Duanyang City, or to be more precise, demonstrated his energy, before he came to see Rong Shiliang.
He captured the Zhenshan Guards and made the entire Duanyang City dare not underestimate him anymore.
At this time, his previous plan was about to continue, and he needed the help of a local snake who was familiar with the situation, so he came to see Rong Shiliang. Unexpectedly, Rong Shiliang was enthusiastic on the surface, but he only took a set of eight-door golden wave talismans and wanted to send him away.
Song Zheng.
As for the real help that Song Zheng needed, he had already said, "There is really nothing he can do except spiritual talismans." There was nothing he could do to help.
So Song Zheng, who was pressed for time, stopped wasting time and stood up to say goodbye.
Qi Bingchen, who had grown up in cultivation, had an insight into Rong Shiliang's mentality, so he became indignant.
Song Zheng instead advised: "Of course they have their own judgment if they don't think favorably of me. Everyone has their own choice. This is their freedom."
Having said that, he is also a human being, how can he not have emotions? He comes with sincerity and puts a hot face on a cold butt, which must be a little unpleasant.
