The Eagle King thought for a while: "He has different goals from ours, so they should not affect each other. But..." He raised a stack of information in his hand: "Song Zheng's actions in Huzhou City are not just rumors, Duanyang
Those who underestimate him will definitely suffer."
The black-haired monkey retracted into his chair again, drinking wine and eating fruit: "What does that have to do with us? We just use money to do things and do our jobs well.
By the way, Eagle King, how are you going to spend the money this time?"
Eagle King knocked on the table: "Listen to me, no one is allowed to touch the money this time! Xiao Diao and the others have reached a critical moment in their practice and need Qingyuan Pill. You know the price of this kind of spiritual pill, and it has been
It’s going up, and I’m not sure whether the reward this time will be enough.”
"But I've been eyeing that cloud-gold cloak for a long time. It will look very cool when I wear it!" The black-haired monkey felt aggrieved. The Eagle King looked at his short, wretched appearance, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Oh... forget it, I'll wait for Xiao Diao and the others."
The Eagle King nodded: "You should make another trip to the Demon Mingkou to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Okay." The black-haired monkey turned over on the chair, and with a bang his escape technique unfolded, leaving behind a piece of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.
…
There was a bamboo tube on Ma Daquan's desk. When he opened it, there was a paper roll inside, recording Song Zheng's actions today. He took a look at it, smiled and threw it away.
Hundreds of his confidants came forward, worried: "Sir, if Song Zheng discovers what we are doing in Liuyin Mountain..."
Ma Daquan sneered: "During the recent period, please don't go to Liuyin Mountain. Everything there is on track. No one will go there for a few days and there won't be any problems."
"yes."
Ma Daquan asked again: "How is the matter you were asked to investigate?"
Baihu said: "Brothers who went to Huzhou sent back the news, and those rumors turned out to be true."
Ma Daquan was startled: "Speaking of it this way, that boy is really capable." He thought about it for a while and then said: "Let brothers be more careful during this time. Stop some of the things in the past and let's deal with them carefully.
On our soil, he has no leverage."
"yes."
Ma Daquan waved his hand and Baihu retreated. He meditated for a moment alone, took out a rarely used homophonic bone charm, and said: "That inspector is so deep in the city that even I was almost deceived.
Be careful yourself."
After a while, a low and hoarse voice came from the other side: "Got it."
…
Song Zheng lowered his arms and put his fingers on the ground. The little insect crawled out of the cracks in the bricks and crawled onto his hand. Song Zheng opened the small cave world and enveloped it, and he and the little insect went in together.
After a while, Song Zheng patted Xiao Chong's head approvingly.
I just had some surprises in my heart: Tianhu beast spirit? It turns out that set of mountain knives are really spiritual treasures. Do you want to find a chance to see them?
"Forget it, let's do business first."
He took Chen Yicheng's hair from Xiaochong. There is a secret technique in the Nirvana Hall that can use any part of the body's hair and skin to cast spells. Song Zheng, with slight modifications, can use this spell to monitor the target.
With his method, as long as the Yin Shen's cultivation level is lower than his, no one will be aware of it.
But after all, it was the method of Nirvana Hall, so he still tried not to be discovered by others. He exited the small cave world, raised a strange array in the room, and then his eyes revealed the netherworld. The secret method was activated, and the tips of his ten fingers ignited with dark gold.
of light fire.
His fingers flew, and he carved a complex mantra out of thin air in front of him. Then he rubbed his fingers lightly, and the strands of hair "burned", and the ashes fell on the mantra, and the spots of light moved and connected.
Chen Yicheng, who was dozens of miles away, had established a connection without knowing it.
A wave of water appeared on the spell, and a picture appeared in the center of the ripples.
Chen Yicheng went to find Chen Fulong that night and asked when the batch of heavy Chu stones would be released. He looked a little impatient, which made people suspicious.
When Song Zheng saw this, he gently touched his chin with his hand.
Although Chen Fulong was young, he knew the importance. When Song Zheng took office as a new official, he just came to ask about this batch of goods. It seemed inappropriate to sell the goods after changing hands, so he comforted Chen Yicheng a little later, at least until Song Zheng left Duanyang.
Chen Yicheng reluctantly agreed to leave. After he left, Chen Fulong frowned: "Yixiong."
He Yixiong appeared: "Master of the family?"
"You sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Uncle Cheng. He handled this batch of goods. Long Yiwei will not keep an eye on this batch of goods for no reason. I'm worried that Uncle Cheng is hiding something from the family."
"good."
"Be careful, don't be discovered by him."
"Leave it to me, don't worry."
After Chen Yicheng came out, he went to the warehouse and checked the goods again.
"Is there no problem?"
"No, don't worry."
Chen Yicheng looked around and then asked in a low voice: "No one suspects it, right?"
"Don't worry, we are well hidden, and even the peak ancestor of Long Yiwei is not aware of it. What are you worried about?"
Chen Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Wait a few more days, and as soon as Song Zheng leaves, we will send the things out."
When Song Zheng saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he sneered.
After checking the goods, Chen Yicheng went back and entered the quiet room to start practicing. Song Zheng had just stopped the incantation when Du Baihu's voice came from outside the strange formation: "Sir, there are guests visiting."
Song Zheng asked: "Who is it?"
"This..." Du Baihu said helplessly, "I don't know."
"Um?"
He quickly explained: "She covered her face, but she said she had information that adults need."
Song Zheng frowned and asked: "How dare you let such a person come to see me?"
Du Baihu chuckled: "Sir, she is only at the eighth level of the river, and as Li Sanyan said, she is a top-notch girl..."
Li Sanyan is a general, his real name is Li Dake, he is seventy-nine years old, he is in the late stage of knowing destiny, he has never gotten married, he claims to read through three thousand beauties, and then decide whether he wants to take just one ladle to drink.
This guy spends all his time in the romantic places in Huzhou City and gives himself the nickname "Li Sanyan". He claims to have a third eye that can see people's "true colors".
This true color refers to a person’s original appearance.
It is said that in Goulan, no matter how the women are made up or dressed, he can tell at a glance who is the most beautiful and has the best figure.
He was very proud of his ability and even boasted about it in front of Song Zheng.
And it is a pity that Li Sanyan is currently the one with the highest demand for promotion to the Hundred Households among the Leopard Tao Guards...
After Chen Baihu and three others were arrested, Song Zheng only had two Baihu under his command, which was indeed insufficient.
He was speechless for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "You people..."
Du Baihu was a little worried, because he really couldn't figure out Song Zheng's habits. In today's Hongwu Dynasty, which is corrupt from top to bottom, if someone can enter the cabinet by presenting beauties to the emperor, then preparing women for Shangguan is not a big deal.
Several people in Du Baihu also discussed that Mr. Song was so full of blood that it would not be good to hold it back like this. But when they heard that Mr. Lei had prepared four servants for him, Mr. Song didn't even look at it.
Zeng Baihu suddenly became interested and said, "Three flats are not as good as one round." He started talking clearly and logically. Du Baihu subconsciously stayed away from this guy.
Li Sanyan strongly disagreed. If it hadn't been for the fact that he hadn't been promoted to a hundred households yet, he might have started a quarrel with him on the spot.
In short, in the end, everyone felt that no matter whether adults like it or not, people below should still do it if they want to respect themselves.
"Sir," Du Baihu said confidently: "She said she had important information. We came to Duanyang all day but did not open up the situation. I feel that for the sake of the country and the people, we should see her!"
"Fart!" Song Zheng couldn't help but cursed: "Humph, who said the situation wasn't opened up?"
But suddenly his thoughts changed and he opened the door: "Forget it, let's go see if there is really any valuable information."
"Yes," Du Baihu smiled happily: "My subordinates will lead the way."
The small courtyard was not big, and the late-night visitor dressed in black and wearing a gauze mask was waiting in the hall. Before Song Zheng came in, Zeng Baihu and Li San looked at her.
When Song Zheng went out, he sensed Qi Bingchen beside him, and a line of spiritual consciousness separated from the house and followed him out.
"Your Excellency is here!" Du Baihu shouted, Zeng Baihu and Li Sanyan knelt down together: "Welcome Your Excellency!"
The black-clothed visitor was slightly blessed: "The daughter of the people has seen Mr. Song, the patrol envoy of Longyi Guard Jiangnan."
She took off her veil gracefully, but her appearance greatly disappointed Du Baihu. It couldn't be said to be ugly, but just a little ordinary. At most, she was above average.
Du Baihu secretly regretted that this impressive figure was wasted, otherwise she would have been a top-notch beauty.
He looked at Li San, who winked. Du Baihu immediately understood: he was disguised.
Song Zheng glanced at the woman lightly, but really didn't take it seriously: "Tell me your name."
"Folk girl, Miao Xiaoyi."
Song Zheng almost stood up, and there was confusion in his ears: Miao, Xiao, Yi!
He thought he heard it wrong, so he subconsciously grabbed the chair with both hands and asked, "What's your name? Say it again?"
"Folk girl Miao Xiaoyi." Miao Xiaoyi was a little strange.
Song Zheng breathed out, leaned back gently, and gave her a complicated look, almost wondering if someone knew about his past and deliberately sent such a woman with such a name...
He stared at Miao Xiaoyi for a long time and said: "Take off the disguise from your face."
Miao Xiaoyi was stunned and wanted to say something, but she felt that Song Zheng's aura suddenly became heavier, and a big mountain pressed down on him.
She was suddenly shocked: This is the highest official of Long Yi Wei Jiangnan Five Continents! One sentence can easily decide the life or death of her group, what can she do to compete with him?
She bit her lip, feeling frightened.
She is very aware of her appearance, and she is even more familiar with the naked greed in the eyes of men. Every time she tries her best to escape. Will this time be like before?
Before she decided to come to see Song Zheng, her brothers and sisters in the gang strongly opposed it and advised her not to let a sheep fall into the tiger's mouth. Which of those Shangguan gentlemen is not a hungry ghost in lust?
But for her brother's sake, she still came. She had heard about what Song Zheng did in Huzhou City, and felt that this was her only hope to rescue her brother.
But now, the situation was still the same, and she was exhausted. She didn't know if she could escape and keep her innocence this time. The power in the hands of the man in front of her was far beyond what she had encountered before.
But at the same time, she felt a little unwilling and aggrieved. She slowly stretched out her hand to touch her face, and asked repeatedly in her heart: Is that the only thing that can happen between men and women? Is it possible that when a man looks at a woman, his first reaction is
Appearance and figure?
She didn't ask, but if she did speak, Li Sanyan on the side would tell her straightforwardly: Yes!
But now, Li Sanyan was winking at Du Baihu and Zeng Baihu with great satisfaction, feeling that his vision was right, adults really like this kind of thing.
Miao Xiaoyi could remove her disguise spell with a pinch of her hands, but Song Zheng suddenly waved his hand in disinterest: "Forget it, that's it."
He laughed secretly to himself, still having illusions, but how could it be possible? Even if he couldn't see his face, his soul was clear to him. Miao Xiaoyi was just Miao Xiaoyi, and no one else.
The girl was a little confused for a moment, but Song Zheng "let her go" was naturally what she wanted. She put down her hands and stood up again, but it was different from the full confidence she had deliberately made when she came. Her attitude now was much more humble. Song Zheng thought
After thinking about it, this seems to be a good idea.
Li Sanyan was as puzzled as she was. What does this mean, sir? He has admired three thousand women, but he has no idea about men. He and Du Baihu looked at Zeng Baihu together.
Song Zhengduan sat in the hall and asked, "What is the matter with which you came to see me?"
"People's daughter..." Miao Xiaoyi bit her lip and said, "People's daughter knows that you are looking for someone. People's daughter knows some clues that can help you."
Song Zheng was not surprised when she stopped here and said calmly: "Then what do you want from me?"
Miao Xiaoyi did come with a purpose: "The younger brother of Min Nu was captured by Zhenshan Guards. As long as you help me rescue my brother, I will tell you the clues I have."
Song Zheng shook his head and said: "The Zhenshan Guards are also Longyi Guards. They carry out their duties impartially. I cannot interfere arbitrarily..."
"No!" Miao Xiaoyi said quickly: "Ma Daquan is corrupt and perverts the law. He just wants to embezzle our Duanyang Caravan. My brother was caught by him without doing anything, and he used this to force me to submit."
Song Zheng remained silent. Miao Xiaoyi didn't understand what he meant. Just as she was about to ask, Song Zheng gently raised his hand to stop her.
There were footsteps outside, and someone handed a file in. Du Baihu took it and handed it to Song Zheng. Song Zheng opened it and looked at it carefully.
After confirming Miao Xiaoyi's identity, the Longyi Guard outside quickly started working and quickly sorted out the information related to Miao Xiaoyi.
Song Zheng "visited" the Chongdao clan and Beijueyuan during the day, and they were not idle, trying their best to collect all the information in Duanyang City.
Song Zheng no longer needs to order these things, the people below will do it themselves.
The information states that Miao Xiaoyi's father, Miao Dahai, founded the Duanyang Caravan. It was originally just a few dozen coolies who pulled carts and transported goods. They formed an organization in order to take care of each other. Later, because of Miao Dahai's righteousness, his prestige grew.
It grew higher and higher and developed into the largest caravan in Xizhou.
After Miao Dahai's death, his son Miao Xiaosong took over as the gang leader, but Miao Xiaosong was young at the time, so all affairs of the caravan were handled by his eldest daughter Miao Xiaoyi.
Miao Xiaosong turned eighteen this year and officially took over the Duanyang Caravan. Unexpectedly, Ma Daquan happened to be interested in the convenience of the Duanyang Caravan traveling around the world. He wanted to control this low-level gang and collect intelligence for him. So he found a reason to arrest him.
Miao Xiaosong forced the Duanyang caravan to submit.
It is also noted that there are folk rumors that the female leader of the Duanyang Caravan is extremely beautiful, and Ma Daquan’s intention to get involved in the Duanyang Caravan is also related to this woman.
He closed the file and asked: "How can I confirm that you really have the information I need? How can I confirm that you are not deliberately deceiving me to kill your brother?"
Miao Xiaoyi said: "How dare a civilian girl do this? If I deceive you, you can arrest us siblings again at any time."
Song Zheng was cautious and shook his head: "Although this reason is sufficient, the variables will become greater after your brother comes out, so I still need you to provide a credible proof."
Miao Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "I know that your Excellency is looking for someone from the ancient Huaxu Kingdom."
"This is not enough."
The girl bit her lip again, and finally said: "It was a member of our caravan who drove him to meet the Xiaoshan bandit."
Song Zheng's eyes lit up: "That's enough." He tapped the table with his fingers: "Take my name card and go to Zhenshan Guard to ask for someone."
Du Baihu said in one step: "Yes!"
Miao Xiaoyi was startled for a moment. She was not familiar with the rules of the officialdom of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty: Is this all right? What she has been trying hard for several months and tried every means to do cannot be done. People only need a name card and a command to do it.
arrive……
Du Baihu personally made a trip to the gate of the Zhenshan Guard Yamen and handed over the title card of "Inspector of the Five States in the South of the Yangtze River". The Zhenshan Guard Captain who was guarding the door was dissatisfied and had to send it in obediently.
But after a while, a member of Ma Daquan's Baihu came out and said calmly: "Master Du, please come back. My Qianhu is not here. We don't dare to make the decision on such a big matter as releasing people from Hades."
Du Baihu frowned: "Isn't it okay for my master to speak?"
The other party smiled and said: "No matter who you are, you must act impartially. Our Zhenshan Guards do not arrest people for no reason. Miao Xiaosong did indeed commit a crime. We cannot ignore Master Song's words."
Has the king learned the law?"
Du Baihu's eyes were cold: "Are you representing yourself or Ma Daquan!"
"Master Du!" The other party was also unceremonious: "You are only a hundred households, don't be too arrogant. There are still laws in this world. Even if Song Zheng really wants to do whatever he wants, our thousands of households can do it."
Complain in front of Mr. Xiao!"
Du Baihu came back after holding back his anger and told Song Zheng what happened. Song Zheng was also surprised: Zhenshan Guard is so disrespectful?
Miao Xiaoyi stood aside and showed a clear look. It was indeed not that simple.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Song Zheng pondered for a moment, stood up and walked out. Du Baihu and others quickly followed behind. When they arrived in the yard, they passed down orders one after another: "Every team is ready!"
"Go to Zhenshanwei's Yamen!"
The peak ancestor Qi Bingchen was already waiting outside the main entrance. When Song Zheng came out, he naturally followed him half a step behind. Miao Xiaoyi didn't understand what Song Zheng said. This "trip" means to go flat, not just
Just a trip.
From sitting in the high hall to quickly dispatching troops, such vigorous and resolute actions are not like the officials of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty.
When she came back to her senses, Song Zheng had already walked out of the main entrance. She was surprised and quickly caught up with him. She saw that Song Zheng was surrounded by strong soldiers and horses. Among the dozens of people, there was a peak ancestor sitting in command. The worst one was also the Nine Paths of Maihe. She couldn't help feeling awe-struck.
, the originally cheerful pace also slowed down a bit, and he followed step by step, not even daring to get too close to Song Zheng.
The Duanyang Caravan has a large number of people, and it has already transformed from a simple caravan into a large gang belonging to the lower classes of Duanyang. Her father knew very well that in today's world, if you don't become a monk, all the forces will be in vain.
When he was alive, he tried every possible means to search for cultivation techniques, and monks with heavy financial gifts became worshipers in the gang. However, the starting point of the caravan was too low, and after decades of hard work, the strongest monk in the gang was now her. She was at the eighth level of the Maihe Realm, not as good as Song Dynasty.
Recruit the next soldier.
There are also barriers to cultivation. A bunch of ordinary people want to cultivate themselves? They also want to hire monks to look after your homes and homes? Are you thinking too much? Haha.
She still remembered that before her death, her father repeatedly warned her not to be an enemy of the imperial court. She had already felt powerless when facing Ma Daquan before. Now when she met Song Zheng, she once again deeply felt the power of the imperial court's official weapons!
Zhenshanwei's Yamen is not far from the Prefecture's Yamen, in the center of Duanyang City. Behind the Yamen is the "hell" of Zhenshanwei. This place is heavily guarded at any time, and it is the place where officials in the state least want to come.
, generally once you come you can’t get out.
Song Zheng and his entourage arrived in a mighty force, and the Zhenshan guards guarding the gate of Hell Prison saw it from a distance, and several of them smiled cruelly.
Those who were sent here were all unsuccessful among the Zhenshan Guards, and they had nothing to do on weekdays. The other Zhenshan Guards were all sleeping in the brothel with their arms around the soft bodies of the girls, but he had to lean on
They were dozing at the gate of the prison with a battle rifle. Suddenly it seemed that someone was coming to cause trouble, and they suddenly became excited.
Long Yiwei was never afraid of people making trouble, he was just afraid that nothing would happen.
So several people winked at each other, and some of them quickly went back to Zhenshanwei Yamen to report the news. The person who reported the news was so excited that there was wind at his feet.
Miao Xiaoyi saw the gate of Hades from a distance. In front of the gate were two huge stone sculptures of strange animals that looked like living creatures, with their eyes wide open as they tried to bite people. She was deeply afraid of this place, and along with the rest of the people in Duanyang City
The fear was different, her brother was in it, and she knew better what kind of purgatory this place was!
"Who are you!" the guard at the front door shouted, "How many people dare to break into Hades at night? How many heads can be chopped off?"
Du Baihu was in front and shouted: "I've blinded your dog eyes!"
"Lord Song, the inspection envoy of Longyi Guard to the five states south of the Yangtze River, has arrived!"
Several guards were startled and knelt down: "Song, Song..."
"Master Song!" A strong voice suddenly came from the direction of the Yamen: "Isn't it a bit against the rules for you to do this?"
Ma Daquan and his men arrived late at night in a furious manner.
Song Zheng glanced at him and said calmly: "So Master Ma is here."
Ma Daquan lied without batting an eyelid: "As soon as I came back from the official position, I saw Lord Song's heroic appearance of breaking into the underworld at night. It was just the right time to come back."
Song Zheng looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Ma Daquan, you know the rights and wrongs of this matter. I will take Miao Xiaosong away today. If you insist on stopping me, I will find out the truth. Then everyone will not
