Han Feng looked surprised. He didn't expect to get such an answer from Xue Cheng.
Jiujiang County is the main transportation artery of Jiangnan West Road. It has the largest wharf in this area. All kinds of ships passing by will dock there for unloading and transshipment.
It can be said that that area embodies the essence of the entire Jiangnan West Road.
It is the most fertile area in the entire Jiangnan West Road. In order to ensure smooth operation, Xue Cheng was transferred to Jiujiang County. He had already said hello to people from all over the place in advance.
Even if Xue Cheng made great achievements this time, it would be very difficult to transfer him directly to Jiujiang County. All the wealthy families were eyeing that area.
Often having an important position assigned to one can ensure the family's wealth.
That is not a position, but a cornucopia.
Now that all the procedures were almost completed, the family had to sell a lot of favors and face to go out, but Xue Cheng said that he was not going. If this could not give him a good explanation, he would be angry to death on the spot.
"It's because of what happened last time..."
Xue Cheng explained the underground river demon incident in detail. Of course, he omitted the mysterious master. After all, the master had repeatedly stated that he was unwilling to participate in this matter. In the underground river,
He also thoughtfully made a fake for Xue Cheng. If he didn't even understand this, he wouldn't be able to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard.
Xue Cheng just said that he felt that the last time the underground demons had not been dealt with completely, so he made a special trip back to Jianyi and killed a horseman. As a result, he found the remnants of the demons in the underground river.
"And there are monsters?"
Han Feng was shocked when he heard this.
Moreover, the demons in this underground river are also proficient in a strange writing and use secret texts to communicate, just like the secret guards among the Jinyi Guards.
This method and means is definitely not simple.
"That's it..."
Han Feng touched his chin, but still did not give up his original thoughts.
“Maybe it’s just three or two big cats and kittens that slipped through the net, so they shouldn’t cause much harm.
"Even if you want to investigate, you can go to Jiujiang County first, and then investigate the relevant situation in Jiujiang County..."
Seeing Xue Cheng opening his mouth to refute, Han Feng continued: "If your conjecture is correct, then this organization is definitely not small. It is very likely that they have their branch helm or even the general helm in Jiujiang County..."
Xue Cheng was stunned for a moment, it was indeed true.
Jianyi has such a strict organizational structure. It can be inferred that Jiujiang County, as a transportation hub, will definitely have more hidden monsters.
Moreover, because of Jiujiang County's extremely developed waterways, floods occur all year round. Every time a flood or flood occurs, it is reasonable to reduce hundreds or even thousands of people on land. Basically, there is no fault.
This creates great opportunities for demons to hide.
Seeing that Xue Cheng had wavered, Han Feng kept up his efforts and said: "Becoming a member of the Jiujiang County Imperial Guards requires a large number of people to be mobilized and the force is extremely strong. It is much better than continuing to live in a small place. Are you not speculating on the other party?"
Do you want to retaliate against you? The higher the force for you, the greater the certainty of meritorious service..."
Xue Cheng felt that what he said was quite reasonable.
Seeing that Xue Cheng was shaken, Han Feng took out a small returning pill from his arms.
"Don't you feel that your own strength is not enough? This is a small rejuvenation pill. With your accumulation over the years, you can make up for it and break through to the realm of true energy."
Xue Cheng had nothing to say. He just followed the fixed procedure and submitted the two corpses of the monsters he killed and the relevant information online. At the same time, he emphatically pointed out that he might be retaliated against.
…
In Yahang, Zhang Mingtu changed his appearance, took out one of the three false identities he had made before, and bought more than ten slaves and a housekeeper in Yahang.
Nowadays, such a population is quite overpopulated. The Wang and Li families and a large number of related families have collapsed, leaving many redundant servants.
As long as you are willing, you can buy a large piece of it at a very low price.
At the same time, the property of the Wang and Li families also began to be dealt with. Together, the two families and the corresponding families owned hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
Although Rui Hai said that he would find the owners of the land and distribute them, the land that could be distributed did not exceed 10,000 acres.
The remaining part was confiscated by the government, used as official land, and rented out to farmers at correspondingly lower prices. A large part still had to be sold.
However, the situation is not clear now. Although the Wang and Li families are in prison, there are still many people in their families who hold important positions in various yamen. No one dares to buy their land at this time, even if the official gives
The price is already very low.
When Zhang Mingtu came here, the official price had been lowered twice, but there were still very few inquiries.
Zhang Mingtu feels that it is almost done. In a few days, the news that Ruihai will come here and bring the county magistrate will spread on a large scale, so many small families will start to purchase the Wang and Li families on a large scale.
's property.
Today, Zhang Mingtu is just a little ahead of schedule.
He used this false identity to buy more than 20,000 acres of land, and then leisurely bought several houses and arranged all the servants and housekeepers.
After that, he followed the same pattern, changed his identity, and used the false identities made by three Jinyi guards as a cover to purchase nearly 180,000 acres of land piecemeal.
Basically he squandered all the treasures he dug up from various places.
And he handed over the corresponding land properties to his stewards.
Zhang Mingtu is quite enlightened in this regard. After all, he cannot have so much energy to manage all the properties. He must distribute power.
There are many future brothers who will be working in the future, and he feels familiar with many people in Jianyi. Among them, the loyal and honest people are basically selected by him as servants and housekeepers.
It is not easy to trap him. Even if in the future, due to his extremely wide power, there are many places where he can get his hands on these characters, and if these characters have deteriorated, and there is a book of life and death that can check the future situation, Zhang Mingtu can easily handle it. It can be said that there is not much risk.
What's more, the key land and house deeds are in Zhang Mingtu's hands, so he is not too worried about various problems and changes.
After spending five days to deal with these matters, Zhang Mingtu was about to continue fishing at Jinyiwei's mansion when he suddenly received news related to the county government. The main figures in the Wang and Li families had almost completed the investigation.
Many people wanted to be beheaded publicly in the market, and the county government invited people from Jinyiwei to watch.
"It's so cruel..."
Zhang Mingtu sighed, changed his appearance leisurely, and prepared to go over and watch the ceremony.
