The person Mi Rong caught was none other than Master Cui.
Master Cui's full name is Cui Jiu. Ever since he met Mi Rong more than half a month ago, he has been obsessed with this woman.
After helping Lin Haoming refine the four pieces of inner armor, he couldn't help himself anymore.
After inquiring about some information and roughly figuring out Lin Haoming's origins, he didn't have the slightest fear and went directly to where the three of them lived.
In Cui Jiu's view, although he is only a Yuan Ying stage monk, he has a huge background behind him. Lin Kun just has an uncle who is in the God Transformation stage, and is not a powerful person. In addition, the three people here are only Jin Dan cultivators.
Because, he naturally became bolder.
The process of entering the waterside pavilion was quite smooth, and as soon as he entered, he immediately saw Mi Rong, who made him feel itchy. However, before he could take action, he felt dizzy, and then he didn't know anything else.
At this moment, he finally regained consciousness in a daze. In his confusion, he saw the man named Lin Kun and his admirer staring at him, but he had no strength at all.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to touch here, but this is fine, it will save me the trouble of luring you out later!"
Cui Jiu was shocked when he heard the words of "Lin Kun" in his ears. However, no matter how surprised he was, he had no strength at all and could only let the other party surrender.
Lin Haoming looked at Master Cui, who had a look of horror in his eyes at this moment. He flicked his fingers and a ray of green light fell on him.
Cui Jiu's body was shrouded in green light, and he immediately felt that everything had recovered, and he even felt a little refreshed. However, even though his body felt comfortable, his heart was even more horrified. The person in front of him, who he thought was just a junior Jin Dan,
, you can give yourself such a feeling with a casual hand. It is obvious that the person in front of you is far stronger than yourself, but the other person is just covering up his cultivation.
"You...what are you going to do?" Now Cui Jiu had no other thoughts, he just hoped that the other party could give him a way to survive.
"We live here. If you come here, I would like to ask, what do you want to do?" Lin Haoming couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"I...I..." Of course Cui Jiu knew that he had planned to force the person next to him into the room, but when the words came to his lips, how could he dare to say them out.
Cui Jiu mouthed a few times but did not say anything, but Lin Haoming snorted coldly and said: "The skills you practice should be able to increase your magic power through supplementation, so when you heard about us, you thought we were not a big threat.
So you want to take action, right?"
"No... I don't dare!" Cui Jiu thought about how he dared to admit it when he was completely restrained just in front of him.
Lin Haoming only thought that Cui Jiu was ridiculous, but it was still ridiculous. After the man screamed in horror a few times, he still asked: "If you don't want to be drained of your soul, then you can answer whatever I ask you. Listen.
Reached?"
"I heard it, I heard it..." At this time, Cui Jiu had no more noises and kept nodding.
Lin Haoming ignored his mood at the moment and asked directly: "Who is the owner of Baoqizhai?"
"It's Master Dou Min Dou!" Cui Jiu replied almost subconsciously.
"Which Dou Min?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.
"Mr. Dou Min, the Tax Secretary of Emperor Cao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Mr. Dou!" Cui Jiu said.
Although Lin Haoming became the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Demon Guard, he still didn't know much about the official positions in the Heavenly Demon Empire, so he subconsciously looked at Mi Rong.
When Mi Rong saw Lin Haoming looking at her, she understood what he meant and immediately explained: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of everything for mortals. The subordinates are divided into nine caos. Hu Cao is one of the nine cao and is in charge of finance and taxation. The Imperial Capital Tax Department is under Hu Cao.
, an official responsible for taxation of mortals in the imperial capital area."
"Is this a big official position?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs is among the eight ministries, its status itself is very low. Not only compared with the eight commander-in-chiefs of the Ministry of War, but also compared with several important subordinate offices of the other ministries. This official position, although it is from the fifth
Although he is of low rank, he actually does not have much power, and the civil servants of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are generally not of high cultivation. It is estimated that the so-called Lord Dou is just a monk in the transformation stage."
"Is that true?" Lin Haoming asked after hearing this.
"The younger one is just a Nascent Soul Stage monk, I don't dare to make any guesses!" Cui Jiu listened to Mi Rong's tone of voice, as if what the Transformation Stage monks looked like to them, it was obvious that these two people were the seniors of the Void Refining Stage.
, which made the panic in his heart even stronger.
"What are you speculating about? What I'm asking you is, is the Dou Min you are talking about the Dou Min from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Lin Haoming asked sharply.
"Yes...yes...that's Lord Dou!" Cui Jiu was startled and stammered in admission.
"Have you seen him? I remember that more than a hundred years ago, the owner of this place was not Master Dou, right?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.
"This... I don't know this. It's been nearly a hundred years since I arrived at Baoqizhai!" Cui Jiu said with a bitter look on his face.
"What you said is true. If you are talking nonsense, don't blame me for using the soul-searching technique on you?" Lin Haoming said with a sullen face.
"No... don't, I... I won't say anything..." Cui Jiu was frightened by Lin Haoming and immediately became a little incoherent.
Lin Haoming simply didn't speak. After Cui Jiu calmed down a little, he asked: "You said you said everything, so let me ask you, Dou Min is really the master of Baoqizhai. Is there no one behind him? Besides,
What else is special about this treasure house?"
"There is nothing special about Baoqizhai, but is Mr. Dou the real owner of Baoqizhai... this... this..."
"What do you mean, say what you have to say. As long as what you say is true, I can let you live?" Lin Haoming promised.
"I have seen twice that a person came to Baoqizhai to wait for Lord Dou. It seems that person's status is much higher than Lord Dou." Cui Jiu said.
"Do you know who that is?" Lin Haoming asked with his eyes brightening when he heard this.
"How could I possibly know this?" Cui Jiu said with a bitter look on his face.
"You don't know, then why are you telling him?" Seeing him like this, Lin Haoming felt a little angry and thought about whether it would be better to just search for the soul.
"I really don't know, but... but Shopkeeper You must know, after all, he was the one who contacted Lord Dou twice, and he is also Lord Dou's confidant!" Cui Jiu saw that Lin Haoming's face was ugly again, and subconsciously changed what he said
Everything I knew was told.
"Where is Shopkeeper You? I didn't seem to see him last time?" Lin Haoming asked lightly.
"Shopkeeper You Shenlong never comes to an end. Usually it's hard for us to know him, but... But every year during the Chinese New Year, Shopkeeper You will appear in Baoqizhai. That's when the annual accounting is done. At least I've been here for nearly a hundred years.
, He has never been an exception!" Cui Jiu told the last thing he knew.
