Shen Lang was agitated, opened his eyes, and gently pushed Chen Yuniang, who was curled up in his arms like a kitten:
"Sister Yu, Sister Yu, wake up, Mr. Mu is calling me."
Chen Yuniang was fascinated by the lake and opened her eyes:
"Hu...Mu Qingxue called you? What's the matter?"
Shen Lang shook his head:
"I don't know, maybe you are looking for me to discuss how to deal with the King Shark Gang?"
Chen Yuniang reluctantly left his arms:
"then you go."
Shen Lang smiled, kissed her forehead gently, stood up, walked to the door of the secret room, and knocked on the iron door:
"Mr. Mu, I'm coming in."
"come in."
The iron door slowly opened, and Shen Lang stepped in. As soon as he entered, the iron door slowly closed again, making Chen Yuniang, who was about to look in, very alert:
"Why are you talking behind closed doors? Someone named Mu won't be plotting against Shen Lang, right?"
I deliberately put my ear to the door to listen to what was said inside, but felt that I was too low-ranking to lose that person. In anger, I started to work hard again, sitting in the corridor and practicing the "Bafang Earth Movement Kung Fu"
The method of breathing and breathing at the seventh level.
In the secret room.
Shen Lang took a moment to adjust to the dim light inside, and after seeing Mu Qingxue sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes suddenly focused:
"Mr. Mu, your injury..."
After a night of healing, Mu Qingxue's face was still slightly pale, with a hint of fatigue at the corners of her brows and eyes, and she didn't seem to be feeling well.
"You can also see it? Yes, my injury is not healed."
Mu Qingxue sighed softly:
"I thought that one night's work would be enough to dispel the remaining power of the Western demon in my meridians, but I didn't expect that I underestimated it. The power of the demon was not only firmly rooted in my meridians, but could also corrode me.
Acupuncture points, absorb my true energy, and continue to strengthen myself...
"I meditated all night, but I could only suppress it so that it could no longer erode and expand. If I want to completely remove it, I estimate that I would have to focus on healing for at least half a month."
"It's so troublesome?" Shen Lang frowned and said, "Then shall we continue to stay here and wait for Master Mu to heal his injuries?"
Mu Qingxue shook her head:
"Healing takes too long, and we don't have that long to delay. We must solve the matter on King Shark Island as soon as possible, and then rush to the South China Sea Sword Sect to arrest Jin Nanfei. Otherwise, if the South China Sea Sword Sect receives the news and destroys the evidence, this trip
Even if you work in vain."
Shen Lang said worriedly:
"Master Kemu, your injury..."
Mu Qingxue smiled slightly:
"It doesn't matter. I have used a magic talisman that can delay the onset of the injury. It can probably delay it for nine days. During these nine days, I can use my martial arts with all my strength and not be afraid of the erosion of the power of demons.
"But after nine days, the power of the demon will explode again, and it will come back to me with doubled power. So we must solve King Shark Island and the South China Sea Sword Sect within these nine days."
Shen Lang frowned and said:
"Muda people, King Shark Island has a radius of hundreds of miles and is experiencing a three-day storm. Yesterday was the first day, and the storm will continue for the next two days.
"We cannot leave the island by boat within these two days. In other words, after the storm subsides, we only have seven days in total to deal with the South China Sea Sword Faction. Is this enough time?"
"Don't worry, there is more than enough time."
Mu Qingxue chuckled, full of confidence:
"Jiange Island, where the South China Sea Sword Sect is located, is not far from the Thousand Stars Islands. As long as experienced sailors navigate, it is estimated that it will take up to three or four days to reach Jiange Island.
"Being generous, even if I spend five or six days on the road, I still have enough time to defeat the Nanhai Sword Sect before the injury breaks out.
"And during the two days when the storm continued and the boat was unable to sail, we just happened to catch all the pirate leaders trapped on King Shark Island!"
Seeing that she was so confident, Shen Lang certainly wouldn't go against her.
After all, she is the third-level divine hunter, while Brother Lang, the trainee divine detective, is just an eighth-level shrimp whose output relies entirely on guns and small fish.
Now I only talk about Qu Damu:
"Speaking of pirate leaders... last night when Master Mu was recovering from his injuries, the great pirate Qu Damu sneaked near the Shark King's Castle and had a conversation with me through the air through the magic of his military advisor Ge Qingyun..."
He recounted Ge Qingyun's claim to be a subordinate of the Dragon King of the Seven Seas and the actions of those who claimed to be "righteous thieves", and said with a smile:
"Qu Damu was trapped on the island by the storm and had difficulty escaping. He also knew that the third-level divine hunter was invincible. Even though King Shark Island is large, as long as the Mu Da people wanted to pursue him, they would not be able to escape. So he came to me to intercede.
"I don't know whether what Ge Qingyun said is true or false. It's all up to Mr. Mu to decide."
Mu Qingyun chuckled:
"A man from the Dragon King of the Seven Seas? He really knows how to use a tiger's skin as a banner."
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows:
"Are you really using a tiger's skin as a banner? I was so skeptical at first, but I heard Ge Qingyun say that they were transporting food, population, and arms to Broken Leaf Island of the Dragon King of the Seven Seas. The words were clear and logical, but I was dubious about it..."
Mu Qingxue smiled and said:
"They may indeed be working for the Dragon King of the Seven Seas, but this does not mean that they are his subordinates.
"Let's use the analogy of the Duke's Mansion of Ying. The Duke's Mansion consumes a large amount of fruits and vegetables every day. Many vegetable farmers supply supplies to the Duke's Mansion. Every day before dawn, they pull carts and bring the freshest vegetables and melons.
The result was delivered to the Duke's mansion.
"This kind of behavior can also be said to be serving the Duke's government, but can those vegetable farmers call themselves members of the Duke's government?"
Shen Lang slapped him:
"Understood! I was wondering why Qu Damu didn't dare to pull the skin of the Dragon King and Tiger. It turns out that he is just the supplier of the Dragon King of the Seven Seas!"
Mu Qingxue said:
"That's right, Qu Damu's gang is just the supplier of the Dragon King of the Seven Seas. They may be able to talk in front of the Dragon King, but they will never dare to try to take advantage of the Dragon King and the tiger outside.
"If Jin Yiming was forced by the Dragon King to take poisonous pills when he was hit by the Dragon King, the Dragon King might take action.
"But since the Dragon King was not at the scene at that time, even if something happened to Qu Damu and he was even killed by Jin Yiming, it would be impossible for the Dragon King to make a special trip from Suiye Island in Nanyang to make the decision for Qu Damu."
Shen Lang shook his head and laughed, and asked again:
"Muda, have the Nagqu Damu gang ever robbed and trafficked people?"
Mu Qingxue frowned:
"When I tried to investigate the Duke of Ying's mansion through pirates, I specifically checked the files on the pirates' rebellion.
"The crimes of Qu Damu's gang recorded in the file are mainly smuggling commercial goods, smuggling food and arms, recruiting people to go to sea in groups, inducing good people to become bandits, and plotting evil intentions. There are also many cases against him for extorting protection fees from passing merchant ships.
"In addition, the county officials of Chenghai County and Ningkang County, two large coastal counties in Yingzhou Prefecture, submitted documents to the city after last year's autumn harvest, accusing the Qu Damu gang of plundering the countryside, robbing people, shelling county towns, and even
The warehouse caught fire, all the autumn grain was destroyed, and there was no money left..."
Shen Lang laughed:
"Ge Qingyun said that the coastal counties sat back and watched them recruit bankrupt refugees. When they left, they turned around and wrote a letter slandering them for robbing the population, shelling the county towns, and burning down the warehouses. If what Ge Qingyun said is true, then this is a classic 'Fire Dragon Burning'
Damn it, I blamed it on the pirates, and I can't even check it!
"But the chief officials of these two counties are really courageous. The grain can indeed be burned to ashes. Even if the autumn grain is destroyed, the lake can still get through it. But how can the money be completely burned? The key is this
How can such an argument pass the test? Isn’t it true that both the DPRK and China are just fools?"
In fact, when Mu Qingxue checked the files at that time, he also felt that there was something wrong with these two cases.
But what she thought at the time was that maybe pirates had invaded the county and emptied the bank.
In order to reduce the responsibility, the county official said that the bank had been burned down.
After all, if it was just bombarded and burned, the crime would obviously be much lighter than if it was disadvantageous to defend the city and be attacked by pirates and empty the bank.
Besides, these two piles of eucalyptus from last year have already formed eucalyptus.
The person responsible for investigating this case was the Yingzhou Prefecture’s Prosecutor’s Office. Of course, the person who concluded the case was also the Yingzhou Prefecture’s Prosecutor’s Office. After that, the case was settled by submitting an information document to the DPRK.
The imperial court also issued a reward document to hunt down Qu Damu and the main members of his gang.
The two county magistrates also suffered a lot and were transferred to poor counties in the interior to serve as county magistrates.
By this year, no one was paying attention to this eucalyptus.
Qu Damu and his gang, who are wanted with a reward, are still at large and have not yet returned.
But now when I look at this incident through Ge Qingyun's perspective, I realize that there is something fishy about these two incidents.
I'm afraid that the burning of the warehouse was not done by pirates at all. The pirates were just recruiting refugees and had never touched the county seat.
The so-called autumn grains burned by pirates and the money burned have probably been completely lost long ago. The two county magistrates are just borrowing money from pirates to settle their accounts!
Although this has resulted in the loss of a lucrative position in a coastal county, as long as the deficit is eliminated and the official title is retained, it is a victory. So what if the poor county is temporarily transferred? As long as there is money in hand and there are people in the government, when the limelight passes, we can do it at any time
You can make a comeback.
The most important thing is, just as Shen Lang said: How did the Yingzhou Prefecture Procuratorate, which investigated and dealt with this case last year, be tricked by Hu? Did the Procuratorate really fail to notice and was deceived, or...
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but sigh deeply and murmured:
"Lord Yan often said that today's Chu State is no longer as vibrant as it was when Taizu founded the country.
"Dachu, which has been a country for more than a hundred years, is like a giant covered in sores. All we can do is to constantly dig out the sores on the giant's body and try to maintain its health...
"But no matter how fast we dig out the sores, we can't keep up with the speed at which the giants develop sores...
"Especially some abscesses that grow in the giant's heart, liver, spleen, and lungs, and even near the head. You can't dig it out or touch it. You can only watch it rot away...
"Sooner or later, those abscesses that continue to grow and erode will swallow up the increasingly scarce clean water in the court, and even those of us who dig out the abscesses and treat illnesses will be swallowed up together.
"And by then, the world will be in chaos, and the scene will reappear when the previous dynasties and previous dynasties collapsed."
Shen Lang was surprised. He didn't expect that the world's greatest grandmaster, "the leader of heroes" Yan Tianying, as the number one court eagle, would actually say such a thing...
Isn’t this the end of the curse on Dachu?
But think about it, it is precisely because he is the greatest grandmaster in the world, and precisely because he is the "leader of heroes", that he dares to even wholesale "Da Chu Pills", right?
