The new head of the Zhao family was killed in his own home among more than a hundred guards?
Almost at the same time, both the local chief and deputy orders were seriously ill?
"It's hard to say whether he's seriously injured or seriously ill."
Zhuang Ming thought for a moment and said: "Have you encountered such a thing when you first arrived? This person dared to take action against the imperial official conferred by the Chu Dynasty. He was really bold, but there was still room for it. He was just injured, but he did not dare to kill...
…”
"Young Master, have you got an idea?" Yue Ting was startled for a moment, but he had always known that the Young Master was very quick in thinking, so it was not an accident.
"This place is vast and prosperous, even better than Jiangdi. The official order in the hands of the local Zhengling Lord must be more powerful than Jiangdi Zhengling. Under the golden elixir,
He must have controlled him." Zhuang Ming said.
"In other words, today's assassin is Jin Dan Zhenren?" Lu He said in a low voice.
"Assassin? If there is no accident, he must have rushed into the Zhao family with great arrogance..." Zhuang Ming responded with a calm tone.
"The rumors are indeed true." Lu He said: "In the Zhao family, there were two martial arts masters, both of whom were at the third level of martial arts. They were unable to block it and were easily killed by the other party... This person rushed into the Zhao family and then came back out. The front and back were indistinguishable.
After a moment, he walked away."
"Killed easily?" Zhuang Ming looked at Lu He and said, "You are already considered to be the top among the master-level warriors, and you have reached the pinnacle level of secular warriors. With your ability, can you break into the Zhao family?
Among hundreds of elite guards, can you easily kill two great masters and behead the new head of the Zhao family?"
"It's not easy..." Lu He said in a low voice: "We have to kill two great masters and face hundreds of guards. I heard that the new head of the Zhao family is not an ordinary person. I am not sure. Maybe if I fight hard, there is hope.
If you arrive, you will definitely be hurt, let alone complete this move in a moment and leave."
"Much stronger than you, the person who comes here must be a real person of the Jindan level." Zhuang Ming said slowly: "The person who comes here must know the person behind the Zhao family, and still dares to knock on the door, he must feel that he is better than the Zhao family.
The real person behind it, and the fact that he himself can defeat the local Zhengling, proves that he is really powerful."
"Could it be that you are here for Chi Yanzhi?" Lu He and Yue Ting both looked at each other.
"If he's not seeking revenge, he's probably here for Chi Yanzhi." Zhuang Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Where are these people going?"
"The seventh mansion in Nanyuan Realm." Lu He said.
"The Seventh Mansion?" Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly and immediately asked: "Is the direction from the Fifth Mansion to the Sixth Mansion similar to the Seventh Mansion?"
"How do you know, Master?" Yue Ting asked in surprise.
"Is there a place over there that is more special?" Zhuang Ming did not answer, but asked again.
"There is indeed a place called Anxian Domain, which is not classified under any government." Yue Ting nodded hurriedly, with surprise still on his face.
"Young master, you think..." Lu He said slowly, "That's where the market is?"
"The official position of the person who is in charge of the market is not lower than the palm seal master of the first government." Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "If the market is located in the territory of a government, then the palm seal master is the higher one.
Does the person who controls the market have a higher official position? The Chu Dynasty has been established for many years, so there must be some considerations. I am just making a guess..."
"So, this person is most likely from the market. After hearing the news that Chi Yanzhi was in the Zhao family, he followed him and wanted to snatch it, but he didn't expect that he had already given it to King Jing?"
"That's about it."
Zhuang Ming said: "Let's find out more about the details."
——
Afternoon.
Lu He and Yue Ting, who went out to investigate, returned here.
"how?"
"We haven't been able to find much, but there are still some survivors. The man who broke into Zhao's house early this morning was as skinny as wood, but eight feet tall. He looked like a mummy."
Yue Ting said: "However, when the Zhao family provoked King Jing, there was an old man in the family. The entire Zhao family was extremely respectful. He came back today and has already gone to the seventh mansion."
"That should be the real person behind the Zhao family."
"That should be it." Zhuang Ming nodded slightly and added: "I originally thought about going to the government to find out the news, but now it seems that there is no need."
"Young master, you want to go to the market?" Lu He understood immediately.
"I have always been curious about that market. Of course, I am not sure that it must be the market." Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "However, whether it is a market or not, it exists within the boundaries of the three prefectures, but it has not been classified.
The Anxian Domain of the Three Prefectures is also worth a trip to see what business opportunities there are."
"Young master is going to the market, shall we go?" Lu He asked:
"No, you have to stay and stabilize the situation for me and lay the foundation."
Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly, reached into his arms, took out a lot of paper, and filled it with words.
"This is the business plan that Fu Lao and I have for this place. I was supposed to handle it personally, but now the situation here is more relaxed than I expected. It is not that critical. It is not difficult to lay the foundation."
, with the skills of the two of you, we can decide it."
"Lu He, you have great courage and vision. You can act on my behalf. Yue Ting is familiar with this and has connections with the local people. Let him help you."
"How can I do it?" Lu He responded hurriedly.
"You have always been very capable, not only with force, but also with all kinds of skills in doing things. Isn't it true that when you arrived in the Chu Dynasty, without the connections of the Dongsheng Dynasty, you would be unable to move forward?" Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "In the future, we will expand in all directions.
, every time you go to a new place and open up a new business, you have to face such a situation. You will be entrusted with important responsibilities and you will have to hone yourself."
"But Young Master..." Lu He still hesitated.
"With Mr. Long accompanying him, what dangers can there be?" Zhuang Ming paused and said: "If the brother who was accidentally killed still has a family, he can spend the rest of the day and give him a caress secretly after the news has passed.
Well...even though he died unjustly and suffered an unjust disaster, he was still working for us after all."
"Yes, I will handle this matter myself." Lu He saluted, "Young Master, you must take care of yourself."
"No problem." Zhuang Ming waved his hand.
"Can I send a few boys to help you on the way?" Yue Ting came closer, looking considerate.
"No need, do you still think that I am as inconvenient as before?" Zhuang Ming gave him a sideways glance.
"..." Yue Ting always felt that this flattery was like a slap on the horse's leg.
——
This trip to Anxian Domain is more than two thousand miles away.
Zhuang Ming was planning to control the dragon and rushed to the Anxian Domain before sunset.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up and left in a carriage.
This trip takes about ten days.
"Now that the reputation is well known, with the place in the eighth house of Dongyuan Realm as the center, there are probably practitioners gathering from everywhere around, and there may be practitioners in front of me. I am not in a hurry, so I will walk slowly and take a look.
This is the great Chu River and Mountain."
Zhuang Ming didn't come here to help the old man of the Zhao family hunt down the tall and thin real person. It didn't hurt to go slower on the road. Besides, the other party had been driving away for a long time. If he really wanted to chase him, it wouldn't be easy to catch him.
superior.
He didn't feel urgent when he went to the market. He felt quite leisurely. The reason why he set out today was that he was really curious about the market. Secondly, he was prepared to treat the situation here as a test for Lu He. In fact,
It can be considered a grind.
On this day, he personally drove the carriage and drove along the official road.
This trip passed in the blink of an eye, uneventfully, for two days.
The territory of Dachu is vast, with just one mansion being so vast that even a real person of the Golden Core level would find it difficult to manage it.
Even if it is just one place, it is comparable to the Huai'an mansion of the Dongsheng Dynasty.
But although the area is vast, there are quite a few cities, and there are many small towns or rural villages around the city. Passing through the official road, you can see that there are many villages, towns, and villages, which continue until the next city.
As a result, there are many people and few rogues blocking the road.
But it is not nothing that less will return to less.
Some people feel they have no other way out and fall into the trap of bandits.
Some people even just think that killing people on the road can make money faster and save them from having to work hard every day to earn wages.
And some people just kill people for fun.
There are also some people who only have temporary intentions, or have evil intentions because of wealth, or have evil thoughts in their hearts after seeing a beautiful woman among the travelers.
It would be okay if they were just ordinary people, and the harm would not be too great. However, in the Chu Dynasty, there are people who practice martial arts at the top and people who practice martial arts at the bottom. These people are not necessarily upright people... For example, those who have won the crown of King Jing.
That group of bandits is causing trouble in all directions.
"The official road in the past two days has been quite crowded along the way, but the barren mountains and ridges ahead may hide bandits."
Zhuang Ming didn't have the slightest fondness for thieves who blocked the road and robbed them, and he was no stranger to them.
Because his trading company, whether in the Dongsheng Dynasty or the Dachu Dynasty, had its goods robbed.
Of course, since he started doing business, anyone who robbed his goods would basically have no good end.
——
In a small town along the way, Zhuang Ming rested for half a day, found a restaurant, bought some good food, and prepared some dry food before starting on the road again.
But, when he got back the carriage and was about to leave.
But he saw that several young waiters from the restaurant were quite concerned about his carriage.
If Zhuang Ming had eaten slower, maybe the carriage would be gone.
Even if outsiders report to the official, they often get nothing done.
"They are all ordinary people. Being able to work as a waiter in a restaurant can be regarded as hard-working and down-to-earth. But if you are just greedy, you are a thief."
Zhuang Ming looked as usual, got into the carriage, drove the horse, and slowly left the town.
If the guess is correct, those guys will probably be robbed halfway.
However, after about a stick of incense left the town, there was still no movement.
This surprised Zhuang Ming.
But after another stick of incense, Zhuang Ming was not surprised.
Because someone is catching up.
"This friend, when you go out, you still need to be cautious."
Suddenly, a voice came from Zhuang Ming's left.
Zhuang Ming had already sensed that he had heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned his head with a slight smile on his lips.
A horse caught up from behind and then slowed down to keep pace with the horse pulling the cart.
The man on the horse is about forty years old, middle-aged in appearance, and energetic.
"Any advice?" Zhuang Ming tilted his head and said with a smile.
