Chapter 17: One person hides the treasure, and the three houses are in trouble
The matter in Jiangdi has stopped here.
The Lord Jiangdi Zhengling regards this vast area of Jiangdi as his own garden, and all the characters and forces are at his mercy to maintain balance. However, he himself can be said to be higher than anyone and any force in Jiangdi.
He was the overlord of one party, but he was completely defeated this time.
Originally, Zhuang Ming planned to use the dragon to confront the Palm Seal Master of the Eighth Palace to make him fearful, and then discuss cooperation and gain mutual benefits.
But now, although the new Palm Seal Palace Master is not a cooperative relationship, it is more stable than the cooperative relationship that Zhuang Ming originally envisioned.
In this way, Zhuang's Trading Company no longer had too many worries.
Now Fu Lao is in charge of the overall situation, while Yue Ting, Bai Qing, Liu He and others have all gone to take care of things, leaving only Shuang Ling to take care of Zhuang Ming.
As for Lu He, who has great talents, he helps the elderly and the elderly and does important things when necessary.
Zhuang Ming used the body of a dragon to once again swallow the precious things transported from the two places of "Fang" and "Yong". With the help of the Dragon Transformation Chapter of Taixu Qingqi, Zhuang Ming could refine anything with abundant spiritual energy, and
For own use.
Therefore, the rapid growth can be described as a thousand miles per day.
Even the old Taoist Feng Lun couldn't believe that Jiaolong had gained hundreds of years of Taoism in just a short period of time. He only mistakenly thought that Jiaolong had restrained his aura in the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain and wanted to test him.
"If you swallow this batch, you will surely grow another ten feet."
Zhuang Ming exhaled and said, "It's hard to make any further progress."
In the past, before they transformed into dragons, the young dragons were only a few feet long. If they could grow one or two feet, it would be an extremely rare achievement.
However, now the dragon is more than thirty feet long. It seems that it has grown even more than ten feet, but it is not obvious.
Moreover, the higher the dragon's cultivation level, the more spiritual treasures it needs to grow.
Zhuang's Trading Company will continue to expand. The entire Dongyuan Realm of more than 200 areas cannot be limited to just six places, and... apart from expansion, it must also continue to become stronger.
——
Morning time.
The morning sun is bright.
Zhuang Ming exhaled, his meritorious deeds were completed, and he was accumulating in the courtyard.
Immediately I saw him patting the hem of his clothes and walking forward, saying, "Go down and have a banquet tonight."
Lu He was guarding the side. Hearing this, he was startled at first, but then he suddenly understood and said: "Young Master is hosting a banquet. Who is the one being invited to the banquet?"
Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "Yes, I guess the palm seal master has probably taken care of the matter and posted in my name. He will definitely come to the banquet tonight."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Shuang Ling beside him, and said again: "If this new Palm Seal Mansion Master is just an elder of Taiyuan Sect and aloof, that would be fine. But now that he is in charge of the three mansions, he naturally wants stability."
"Now there is a person like me, who has caused such a turmoil in his territory before. He still doesn't seem to want to leave. There are signs of being here for a long time. His business is even expanding rapidly. Naturally, he is not big
Safe..."
"He is also afraid that I will have no scruples, act like a god, and treat all forces in the Three Prefectures as ants, acting wantonly."
"After all, we can say that someone took the initiative to attack last time, which was to offend God with mortals."
"This time we are taking the initiative to expand. It can easily become unscrupulous, disrupt the order of the mortal world, and even cause wanton massacres."
"If I were an ordinary cultivator, even if I entered the upper level of Jindan, my skills would still be above him. I think he would report it to the King of Dongyuan Realm and suppress me."
"But I have a good status, so he doesn't dare to touch me."
"So you had no choice but to come and discuss it with me."
He explained, and when he saw that Shuang Ling was suddenly enlightened, he nodded and said with a smile: "When you come to this overseas land, you are not as familiar with the Dongsheng Dynasty. You haven't refined medicine in many days? Such craftsmanship can be
We can’t lose it... Let’s go to the pharmacy to pick it up. There are more types of overseas medicinal materials than those from the Dongsheng Dynasty."
——
Jiangdi, pharmacy.
A chaotic and noisy sound came.
Now Fu Lao and Yue Ting are not here, and the person in charge is also having a headache.
Until Zhuang Ming and the others arrived.
"Son, my father-in-law."
"what happened?"
"A man came to buy the school's wound medicine, and he wanted to buy all the medicine."
"Oh?" Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu He.
"Previously, the young master was in the pharmacy across the way and bought all the medicine that the other party only got from the school. When he came back, the price was reduced by half." The steward said in a low voice: "The villain is afraid that the other pharmacy will follow suit..."
"You are quite smart."
Zhuang Ming laughed, raised the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.
Lu He followed closely behind, guarding at the side.
From a distance, I saw a man, about thirty years old. He was dressed simply, but he had a strong build, a bit of anger between his eyebrows, and a fierce look on his face.
At this moment, this man was extremely irritable and roaring.
"Damn it! You open a drugstore and you still make money even though you have money? Don't I have any money to give you? Do you look down on people? Be careful, I will destroy your shabby store and kill all of you losers!"
"Sir, this is not an ordinary person who has practiced martial arts." Lu He said in a low voice, "And he has a bit of a bloody smell. He has killed people recently."
"More than that..." Zhuang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and the dragon's eyes in his sleeves were deep. He exhaled, suddenly tilted his head, and ordered: "Whatever medicine he wants to buy, give it to him."
"Sir?" The steward was very surprised.
"It doesn't matter." Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Not to mention Jiangdi Academy, it is the Three Places Academy. From now on, the exclusive quota for wound medicine will be ours."
"Yes, sir."
The manager was surprised.
Zhuang Ming waved his hand and signaled him to leave.
Lu He felt something was wrong and said softly: "What do you mean, Master?"
Zhuang Ming muttered: "Keep an eye on him, see where he lives, see who he has come into contact with, and follow the clues to find out who or what is behind him."
As he spoke, he put his hand into his sleeve and said: "This person not only has the aura of blood, but also has the aura of treasure, which lingers. He has been in contact with treasures recently, even today... and this treasure aura vaguely feels a little...
familiar."
Lu He was perked up upon hearing this, and quickly agreed and was about to leave.
Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand to stop him and said seriously: "This is not the Dongsheng Dynasty, and the martial arts master is not the supreme warrior who appears every hundred years. It is important to go here to investigate. If something cannot be done, retreat quickly!"
Lu He saluted and said, "Understood."
Zhuang Ming nodded. He himself needed the protection of the dragon, so the dragon could not leave him. If he followed him, he would not be as good at detecting and hiding as Lu He, so he had to let Lu He go alone.
As long as he doesn't meet a cultivator who transcends the realm of the world, no one can stop Lu He if he really wants to leave.
Lu He's grandmaster practiced hard for many years, gathered momentum between life and death, and everything came naturally afterwards. He did not resort to external forces, but bathed in the divine blood after the master, and became stronger.
If there really was a fight, one Lu He's force could withstand three ordinary masters.
If something unexpected happens, as long as Lu He doesn't want to fight, he will be safe.
"What kind of treasure is it?"
——
Within the territory of Jiangdi.
Chaos abounds.
Government officials rushed to the residence of Master Zhengling one after another, resulting in order everywhere and very few guards.
Zhuang's Trading Company, on the other hand, was so bold that it expanded greatly during this period, using not only businessman's methods, but also extremely powerful and arrogant tactics, even using force to fight, disregarding the law, and simply provoking your Majesty.
Same.
"Master, we have another batch of goods, which was robbed by Yue Ting himself. He did not kill the escorting guards, but the leader, Mr. Zhou, had his arm chopped off. Yue Ting used this to scare everyone."
"Asshole! Is Zhuang's Trading Company a bandit? Even a bandit who blocks the road would not dare to be so blatant! Last time I ordered people to rob his goods, but they were also masked in black scarves and did it at night, so they did not dare to be exposed.
, he is quite good, he doesn’t change his clothes and doesn’t hide his face, are you afraid that I won’t go to the government to sue him?”
"I'm really afraid that you won't go to the government to sue me!"
At this moment, a voice came from above.
The face of the head of the Du family changed drastically and he shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Before he could even finish his voice, the roof exploded!
Next to the head of the Du family, a person suddenly jumped out. He had strong energy and blood, and he was also a master.
Boom!
This grandmaster was immediately repelled by a one-armed man.
Behind the one-armed man, a handsome young man was seen, holding a long sword and smiling broadly.
"Yue Ting..."
"It's me, Lao Du."
"You..." the head of the Du family said angrily: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm here to take revenge." Yue Ting responded.
"Asshole!"
The head of the Du family looked ugly. Businessmen have their own struggles. He and Na Fu Lao Gui had been at odds with each other for several years. The two families were competing for business, and Na Fu Lao Gui had also gone to great lengths to set up a trap.
Setting up a trap made his business seem to be in a quagmire, resulting in huge losses and a serious loss of vitality.
But today, a warrior actually wanted to attack and kill his own family?
"You are the Chu Dynasty, where is the law?"
"I'm sorry, I should learn from you." Yue Ting tore off a piece of cloth, covered his face, and said, "Is this enough?"
"Yue Ting... How dare you, Zhuang's Trading Company, act so wantonly?" The head of the Du family shouted loudly: "Aren't you afraid that your Lordship will be punished and your Zhuang's Trading Company will be destroyed?"
"Lord Zhengling?"
Yue Ting laughed loudly and said: "He is an old man... He has already been punished for offending my young master's power."
The face of the head of the Du family changed greatly and he backed away one after another.
Yue Ting walked forward and said: "He was imprisoned and will never come out in this life. His guilt is too serious and he may be executed by the queen. You should go first and wait for him to die..."
"And you can rest assured that today I only want your life. The others are considered innocent and I won't touch them."
"But the premise is that you have to tell me where the treasure is hidden, so that this matter can be charged with murder and robbery, and it can be placed on some robbers. Don't settle it for revenge and find me.
on the body."
——
Zhuang's firm operates in various places, and its methods are no longer tactful and tortuous. It is no longer a money game between businessmen. It even has the flavor of the past martial arts gangs competing with each other.
In the past, the government would never sit idly by and ignore such a matter.
The Palm Seal Fu Zun, who can control the three palaces, is on the top of the head.
Within the three prefectures, officials from all over the country are aware of what is happening in Jiangdi.
Jiang Dizheng ordered him to be taken to prison, waiting to be questioned.
Deputy Commander Jiang Di died on the spot.
The new prefecture-level chief registrar, who was also the direct disciple of the Palm Seal Prefecture Master, was deprived of his cultivation and thrown into prison.
All this is related to Zhuang's Trading Company.
Who dares to suppress Zhuang's Trading Company?
"grown ups……"
"As long as it doesn't make too big a fuss, suppress it as much as possible, turn a blind eye or close an eye."
"But that's Zhuang's Trading Company? Usually fights end in fights, but it's not so obvious."
"Because they have a backer, I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Jiang Di Zhengling."
The official smiled bitterly and said: "Zhuang's Trading Company in various places has become tougher in their methods. Do you think the Lord is going to suppress it? And this Zhuang's Trading Company is still somewhat measured..."
——
The eighth mansion is located.
"Your Excellency, this is the urgent report from various places today."
"Um?"
The old Taoist Feng Lun glanced at it, then let it go. His expression was as usual and he said: "Go down."
But at this time, I heard voices coming from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Master of the Palm Seal Palace, my young master is hosting a banquet tonight, please show your respect."
"I know."
The old Taoist Feng Lun looked at the urgent report next to him and sighed: "I don't want to see him, but he insists on letting me see him."
