Ziqin left the newly bought house on the edge of Taihu Lake and headed straight for the local government office.
Ziqin was only familiar with the plot of The Condor Shooting, but he was not omniscient and omnipotent. Ziqin naturally had no advantage in finding the Taihu water pirates, so Ziqin chose the simplest way, which was to go to the local government office to investigate.
Regarding local water theft, even if the yamen does not intend to take care of it, at least it will keep files.
Ziqin's guess was not wrong. The local government did have files on Taihu water pirates. Not only did they keep files, but they also seemed to plan to manage them.
There was no way around it. This group of Taihu water pirates was really over the top. If they were just robbing rich merchants, no government would pay them any attention. However, they actually targeted the imperial officials, which angered the Southern Song Dynasty court.
However, the Taihu water pirates were really powerful, so even though these officials had prepared for a long time, they did not dare to use the Xiang army to encircle and suppress them.
Ziqin's constant inquiring during this period found other anomalies. The reason why the officials did not encircle and suppress the Taihu water pirates was not only because they were afraid of the encirclement and suppression, but also because the officials were not united.
During this period, some people seemed not to want to see the Taihu water pirates eradicated.
This made Ziqin very confused. At first, Ziqin even thought that this guy was from a group of Taihu water pirates. However, after tracking Ziqin, he found that this guy was really a scum among scum, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be chivalrous.
The Lord's Taihu Water Pirates.
Later, Ziqin gradually discovered that this guy was probably a spy of the Jin Kingdom lurking in the Southern Song Dynasty.
During this period, the Jin and Song Dynasties had been at odds for hundreds of years, and the fighting on the frontal battlefield had long since ceased. However, the secret war between the two countries had never stopped. This kind of secret war that did not exist in historical records for various reasons was far more complicated than the frontal battlefield.
Even more thrilling.
Perhaps there were not many such secret battles in China's thousands of years of history, but there were only a few such secret battles that were truly famous in history, and the Jin and Song Dynasties were definitely among them. Starting from Qin Hui's assassination of Yue Fei, the Jin and Song Dynasties
The secret war has actually been practiced in full swing.
After a month, Ziqin thought that he had paid attention to everything he should pay attention to, and it was his turn to take action, so he planned to contact someone who might be a spy from the Jin Kingdom.
Taihu Lake was probably one of the most prosperous areas in all of China in this era. After all, with the migration of the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty to the south, the economy of the Song Dynasty also moved southward, and Taihu Lake occupied the busiest and most prosperous area in the water transportation of the Song Dynasty.
This official who may be a spy from the Kingdom of Jin lived in a villa with three courtyards in front and back. It was noon when Ziqin arrived, and Ziqin himself had no intention of visiting at night. However, when he first arrived at the outskirts of the villa,
Ziqin suddenly felt something was wrong.
This villa was originally located in a wealthy area. There are many rich people around here, but most of them are rich and unkind. Or even if they are not rich and unkind, they are mostly high-end courtyards. Such a place is rich when it is rich, but there should never be many beggars.
Came here to beg, and when Ziqin arrived, he found that there seemed to be an unusually large number of beggars in this area.
From the periphery of the area to the courtyard where the spies from the Jin Kingdom were probably located, there were beggars all around. These beggars were either in twos or threes, or alone. They seemed extremely scattered, but they vaguely surrounded the courtyard where Ziqin's target was.
In another time and space, Ziqin would never pay attention to beggars like this, but in the world of the Condor Shooting, Ziqin could not help but pay attention to these beggars. After all, in this time and space, whether it is high-end military force or the powerful beggar gangs, they are absolutely the best in the world.
The largest gang, even sects like Shaolin or Quanzhen Sect are far inferior to the Beggars Gang in Condor Shooting.
Looking at these beggars, Ziqin further confirmed his guess. The Song Dynasty official was most likely a spy of the Jin Kingdom. The beggar gang's knowledge of news in this era was definitely unmatched by the Jin and Song Dynasties combined.
Ziqin only glanced at the beggars, ignored them, and walked slowly towards the courtyard where his target was. Although the Beggar Gang seemed to be preparing to deal with the Song Dynasty official, and it seemed that the goals of the Beggar Gang conflicted with Ziqin, Ziqin
But he didn't pay any attention to it, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of contacting the Beggar Clan first.
He is now burdened with the reputation of bullying his master and destroying his ancestors, and seeking glory from his master. He does not believe that his current reputation can make the Beggar Clan believe in him, and he has no intention of making others believe in him.
Just like Xiao Feng in Tian Long, he always wants to prove his innocence, but when the truth comes out, the result may not be much better. On the contrary, it is not as good as Dong Xi in The Condor, who never explains anything to others, and often even expresses his anger at others.
Dong Xie is naturally unreasonable in the eyes of others, and can even make people angry, but Dong Xie himself lives so freely.
Ziqin jumped into the courtyard of this Song Dynasty official and walked straight towards the official's front hall without concealing his figure. Several martial arts guards roared and rushed towards Ziqin.
The maids and servants in the courtyard dispersed in fear.
Ziqin easily overturned several martial arts masters, and walked towards the backyard without stopping. According to Ziqin's month-long investigation, the official should be lying in bed at this moment. Naturally, he didn't want to waste time waiting for the maids and servants to panic.
The official was startled and waited for him to come to the front yard. Moreover, if the official knew that someone was knocking on the door in the front yard, he would probably run away from the back yard and would never have the courage to come to the front yard.
The figure quickly entered the backyard, and Ziqin shot away with electricity in one direction. Before he could get close, he made a palm print in the air. The door of a bedroom in the backyard was suddenly blown open, and the frightened screams of women and men could be heard from inside.
"Get dressed and come out. I have something to ask you."
Ziqin's voice sounded condescending. He had commanded the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin for a period of time. Ziqin was naturally able to imitate the tone of such a superior person. However, it was a pity that the man in the room was by no means a smart man. He was not smart at all.
He could hear the difference in Ziqin's tone, he was still screaming, and at that moment, shouts of killing came from outside the courtyard.
The Beggar Clan actually took this opportunity to kill them.
Ziqin frowned. The beggar gang in this era was indeed admirable, but Ziqin was not the kind of person to make way for others just because they were worthy of admiration.
A token fell into Ziqin's hand from his sleeve. Ziqin shook his hands and threw the token into the room.
"I don't want to say what I said a third time. Get dressed and come out. I'll make sure nothing happens to you."
With just one word, Ziqin turned his head and looked at the corridor leading to the backyard, where a group of beggars were swarming out.
