Chapter 157
Zhao Longyuan asked curiously: "Who is that person the emperor mentioned?"

Cao Shaotian: "He is Shen Lingyun, the magistrate of Gansu Province."

Zhao Longyuan nodded: "So that's the case, the emperor let the humble official meet him directly, or protect him secretly?"

Cao Shaotian: "You can go directly to him. After you meet him, take out the badge I gave you and help him deal with the Bliss Gang in Gansu City."

Zhao Longyuan: "I obey your orders, Your Majesty, has this Shen Lingyun been cooperating with the Queen Mother?"

Cao Shaotian nodded: "That's right, he knows a lot about the Empress Dowager, which I asked him to investigate. So, Shen Lingyun actually colluded with the Bliss Gang."

"Over the years, the Bliss Gang has oppressed the people in the city of Gansu, robbed and plundered, and obtained a lot of money. Shen Lingyun has also committed corruption and perverted the law, in order to make the Empress Dowager have no doubts about him."

Zhao Longyuan: "I understand the humble position, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaotian smiled: "This is the first step in my counterattack. Next, I will take every step until the Queen Mother is completely eradicated!"

Cao Lingyu also smiled: "The emperor's brother is really ambitious!"

Cao Shaotian: "Little sister, the day when you regain your status as a princess is getting closer and closer."

Cao Lingyu nodded: "Brother Emperor, I'm waiting for that day."

After speaking, the two turned around and left.

Back in the inn, Zhao Longyuan told Xuanyuan Qing his plan to go to Gansu City.

Xuanyuan Qing readily agreed, especially after hearing that there was delicious food there.

The three of Zhao Longyuan then rode on fast horses and rushed to their destination at the fastest speed.

Ten days later, Gansu City, noon.

This is a large-scale city. There are deserted mountains near the city, but here is green grass everywhere and rich trees.

Gansu City is also a city close to Beiyuan Country, similar to Youzhou City.

However, if Beiyuan Kingdom wanted to attack here, they had to climb over the barren mountains, which was quite difficult.

Therefore, although the city is remote and close to enemy countries, it is very safe.

There are millions of people in the city, among them are Hu people from Beiyuan Kingdom.

Gansu City is also a well-developed place for commercial trade between the two countries, and businessmen from Beiyuan Kingdom continue to come here to buy and sell goods.

Both the Bliss Gang and the imperial court benefited a lot from the businessmen.

Walking in the city, Zhao Longyuan saw many barbarians.

He also used [Disguise], and his teammates pretended to be three Donghua businessmen and walked on the streets of the city.

After inquiring all the way, Zhao Longyuan soon found the magistrate's yamen.

He stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Several officials, the villain wants to visit the prefect."

The official asked: "Do you want to see our Master Shen?"

Zhao Longyuan: "Yes, please accommodate me."

The officer waved his hand: "Master Shen is very busy, don't you just see him whenever you want? Let's go, don't get in the way here."

Zhao Longyuan took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the other party: "Don't you want to say that, sir, let's make friends."

The officer's expression changed, and he nodded: "Okay then."

With that said, they let Zhao Longyuan and the three of them walk in.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Qing couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, but she didn't object.

Entering the lobby, Zhao Longyuan saw Shen Lingyun sitting on it.

He is a young man with a fourth-rank official uniform, wearing gold and silver, not like an official, but more like a businessman.

Although he was handsome, there was an air of arrogance hanging on his face.

After Shen Lingyun saw Zhao Longyuan, he asked, "Where is the businessman from? Why did you find me?"

Zhao Longyuan cupped his hands and said: "I pay homage to Mr. Shen, Caomin came here to discuss a big deal with you."

Shen Lingyun: "Big business? Tell me, if you dare to lie to me, I will give you fifty blows!"

Zhao Longyuan took out 100 taels of silver and handed it to the other party: "This is a little meeting gift from the villain, please accept it."

Shen Lingyun was not polite, and reached out to take the bank note: "You are a sensible boy."

Zhao Longyuan asked again: "Master Shen, since this is the case, why don't we discuss it in private?"

Shen Lingyun nodded: "Okay."

After speaking, he brought Zhao Longyuan to a hut and asked Cao Lingyu and Xuanyuan Qing to wait outside.

After closing the doors and windows, Shen Lingyun asked: "There are only two of us here, tell me, what business do you want to do with me?"

Zhao Longyuan didn't hide any more, took out his badge from his pocket, and showed it to the other party: "Master Shen, do you know this?"

Shen Lingyun originally had an arrogant expression on his face, but the moment he saw the waist badge, he was stunned and looked at it carefully for a while.

Then, he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "My lord!"

Zhao Longyuan took the things back and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, we are all serving the emperor, from now on we will work together."

Shen Lingyun's eyes turned red suddenly, and he sighed; "After so many years, the emperor finally came to see me."

Zhao Longyuan: "Master Shen has worked hard."

Shen Lingyun: "It's really not easy for a subordinate official to embezzle a lot of money and pretend to be arrogant and greedy. However, compared to the emperor's humiliation, these subordinate officials are nothing."

Then, he changed the topic: "I don't know your lord Gao's name?"

Zhao Longyuan told the truth.

Shen Lingyun nodded: "So it's Zhao Daxia from the martial arts world, nice to meet you!"

Zhao Longyuan: "You're welcome, tell me, what is the power of the Bliss Gang in Gansu City?"

Shen Lingyun: "The Bliss Gang has two helmsmen and two hall masters here. They are both highly skilled in martial arts and are difficult to deal with. Moreover, the Bliss Gang has been operating here for many years and is deeply rooted."

Zhao Longyuan: "How many of them are there?"

Shen Lingyun: "At least tens of thousands of horses."

Zhao Longyuan nodded: "I see, Mr. Shen, can you do me a favor?"

Shen Lingyun: "Hero Zhao, please tell me, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

Zhao Longyuan: "I want to pretend to be Mr. Shen and join the sub-helm of the Bliss Gang."

Shen Lingyun readily agreed: "Of course, I don't know how Zhao Daxia wants to pretend?"

Zhao Longyuan smiled: "Of course it's a disguise. Please take off your official uniform."

Shen Lingyun nodded: "OK."

After speaking, he took off his official uniform.

Zhao Longyuan immediately wore it on his body, cast [Disguise], and changed into the opponent's appearance.

Then, he put Shen Lingyun into a businessman's clothes, turning him into an ordinary businessman.

Shen Lingyun looked at all this in amazement, dumbfounded: "Daxia Zhao's ability to disguise is really superb, it's unbelievable."

Zhao Longyuan smiled slightly: "Sir, please forgive me."

With that said, he asked Shen Lingyun to find the official servant's clothes, called Cao Lingyu and Xuanyuan Qing in, and turned them into official servants.

After getting ready, Zhao Longyuan said: "Master Shen, could you please tell me who is at the helm of this Bliss Gang?"

Shen Lingyun cupped his hands and said, "No problem."

The system prompts: "A new spy mission has been started."

Mission objective: Kill the four masters of the Bliss Gang and wipe out the Bliss Gang sub-rudders.

Mission reward: [Seven Injuries Boxing] upgraded to proficient level.

Shen Lingyun also thought for a while at this time, and introduced it in detail.
