Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

After coming out of the Third Prince's Mansion, Chu Tianjiao went straight to Uncle Wu Ning's Mansion.

After visiting Uncle Wu Ning first, Chu Tianjiao went directly to Zheng Chuang's yard.

Zheng Chuang also had a rest today and was sitting in the yard wiping the tip of his red-tasseled gun.

I was quite surprised to see Chu Tianjiao coming in.

"Cousin, haven't you caused trouble on my property lately?"

Zheng Chuang's first words when they met made him feel heartbroken.

Chu Tianjiao smiled coquettishly, knowing that he had caused a lot of trouble for Zheng Chuang before, so he obediently called his second cousin and said a lot of compliments.

Zheng Chuang felt very comfortable being flattered by her, and he proudly gestured with the red tassel gun in his hand:

"Tell me, eldest cousin, is there any trouble you want your second cousin to help you solve?"

Chu Tianjiao gently pushed away the gun tip that was about to hit her face, and said flatteringly:

"Second cousin, I remember that when you first joined the City Patrol Division, you were assigned to be in charge of Xishikou. Are you familiar with the underground organization there?"

Zheng Chuang put away the red tassel gun and shook his head: "I'm not familiar with them. Since they are all called underground organizations, when I patrol the city guard, I am an official and they are thieves. If we really get to know each other, wouldn't we be a family of officials and bandits?"

Chu Tianjiao didn't believe it.

"Second cousin, I really have something serious to do this time. I need to investigate the killer organizations hidden in those underground black markets and find the mastermind behind the murders. Please help me."

Chu Tianjiao explained to Zheng Chuang one by one the assassination of the third prince and the entrustment of the third prince today.

Zheng Chuang frowned and said, "Since all those smugglers have been arrested by Jingzhao Yamen, how can we investigate them?"

"I asked the third prince, and although I caught a few smugglers, except for Du San, the others were peripheral.

The information they knew was also dug out.

None of the real core characters were caught.

I don't believe that for such a big order as assassinating a prince, the top smugglers below would dare to accept the order without the knowledge of the top leaders of the assassination organization.

Logically speaking, ordinary assassination organizations simply would not dare to take such an order.

This assassination organization has its own problems. "

Zheng Chuang pondered for a moment and then said: "I do know a person who has been living in Xishikou for decades. He should be familiar with all three religions.

He owes me a favor. I will take you to him tomorrow.

Whether he is willing to help you or not depends on your means. "

The next day, Chu Tianjiao asked for leave from Taixue, took Feng Jia with him, and went straight to Xishikou to meet Zheng Chuang.

West Market is a mixed-race place in Shangjing City, with slums nearby.

Chu Tianjiao and Feng Jia put on makeup.

Chu Tianjiao was wearing a washed cotton gown that turned white. He looked like a young man from a poor family.

Feng Jia was dressed in green clothes and a small hat, pretending to be a follower.

The two hired a dilapidated carriage and got off in front of the archway starting from Xishikou. They saw Zheng Chuang waiting there.

Maybe it just went through the purge of Jingzhao Yamen, but Xishikou was particularly deserted today. Except for some regular shops on the street, there were very few people setting up stalls.

The gray-white streets were scattered with all kinds of garbage, and empty shelves were piled on both sides of the road.

"If you come here on weekdays, this place will be very lively, selling everything. Now everyone is probably afraid that Jingzhao Yamen will make a surprise inspection, so they don't dare to set up their stalls."

While Zheng Chuang was talking, he led Chu Tianjiao into an alley.

As soon as he entered this alley, Chu Tianjiao's shoes were stained with a layer of soot.

The whole alley smelled like fireworks.

There is a large facade at the entrance of the alley. The shop door is open, and the sound of tinkling can be heard from inside.

"This is the largest blacksmith shop in the West City. Old Ge Tou has been forging iron here for many years. I estimate that half of the illegal weapons in Shangjing City are exported from this blacksmith shop."

Li Guo has control over iron weapons, and ordinary people are not allowed to own weapons like daggers and knives.

"Since you know this is a place selling illegal weapons, why didn't the government seal it down?"

"Why seize it? If Lao Ge Tou doesn't sell it, someone else will. At least Lao Ge Tou knows how to cover up and pays taxes on time. It's better for the Yamen to turn a blind eye and close one eye to facilitate management."

Chu Tianjiao took Feng Jia and followed Zheng into the blacksmith shop.

Several apprentice-looking people stopped what they were doing and looked at the three of them with vigilance in their eyes.

"Where's the old Getou man?"

Zheng Chuang completely ignored the alertness in these people's eyes and asked loudly.

An apprentice pointed to the worn curtain behind.

From behind the door curtain, a low roar like a beast came:

"Woo, if you dare to beat me again, I will destroy all nine of your clans!"

Zheng Chuang raised his feet and was about to walk in. Several apprentices gathered together and blocked the door curtain.

Zheng Chuang smiled and shouted inside: "Old Ge Tou, I haven't seen you for two years. You've been so stubborn that you've started human trafficking?"

There were a few more muffled sounds inside the door curtain, probably someone was beaten a few more times.

The door curtain was opened, revealing an old face as black as coal.

"Hey, General Zheng, what brought you here?"

A lean old man rushed out and waved to the apprentices, who immediately returned to their original posts and continued blacksmithing.

The old man rubbed his hands, bowed, and greeted Zheng Chuang politely.

"Old Ge Tou, I have something to ask you for help. Let's find a place to chat!"

Old Ge Tou looked around, probably because there was really no room for anyone to sit in the foyer, so he bowed and invited Zheng Chuang to sit in the backyard.

"Who are these two young brothers?"

"My cousin is on his own, so it's okay."

Lao Getou opened the door curtain, and Chu Tianjiao walked in. At a glance, he saw that the cramped back room was filled with coal. In the corner, a tied up young man was lying.

The boy's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth. When he saw someone coming in, he struggled hard and made a "wuwu" sound.

Zheng Chuang also saw this young man and asked curiously: "What's going on? Old Ge Tou, you won't kidnap people, right? You can't do this kind of thing."

Old Ge Tou glanced at the young man who was covered in injuries and said with disgust:

"My bastard grandson ran errands for the young general two years ago, Ge Sandan, don't you remember?"

Zheng Chuang looked at the young man's face carefully, recognized it, and said curiously:

"Your own grandson, why are you torturing him like this?"

Old man Ge's wrinkled old face showed a sad look:

"This kid had a fight with someone two days ago and broke his head. He had a fever all night when he came back. When he woke up, he was in a daze."

"He's talking nonsense. If I don't tie him up, he'll definitely cause big trouble for me."

Now that Zheng Chuang had confirmed the boy's identity, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business and followed Lao Getou to the yard.

Chu Tianjiao turned around and glanced at the young man again. The young man glared at her ferociously, and Chu Tianjiao said heartily: "He is indeed an ignorant brat."

Chu Tianjiao didn't understand this kind of housework among the lower class people and had no interest in participating. He turned around and went to the yard.

When Zheng Chuang explained his intention, Lao Getou's eyes flashed and he declined:

"Old man, I have been doing my own business here in Xishikou. I really don't know about the underground black market or killer organizations."

Chu Tianjiao looked at the yard and saw a circle of side rooms at the back. One row should be for people to live in, and the other row looked like a warehouse.

Chu Tianjiao walked towards one of them.

Old Ge Tou blocked her way: "This little brother, it's better not to wander around when you go to other people's homes."

Chu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows: "Don't blame me, I just want to see if there are really any law-abiding shops in Xishikou?

If it is true, I will promote it for you and ask Jingzhao Yamen to set you as a benchmark and bring people to visit every day. "

There was a trace of sullenness on Lao Getou's old face covered with ravines.

"Even if Jingzhao Yamen comes, the old man is not afraid. The old man pays taxes on time and pays all the filial piety that should be paid during the New Year.

If the little brother really wants to force the old man, the worst he can do is stop this shop. "

Seeing that the two sides were getting angry, Zheng Chuang tried to smooth things over and said, "Old Ge Tou, you are one of our own, so I'll tell you the truth.

This is my eldest cousin, the head of Wusheng County of Liyanghou Mansion. "

When Lao Getou heard about Liyang Hou Mansion, the anger on his face subsided a little, he cupped his hands and said:

"It turns out she is the eldest lady of Liyang Hou Mansion. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Liyanghou Mansion has always had a good reputation among the people. In the minds of the people, the title of Chu Tianjiao, the county lord, is not as loud as the title of the eldest lady of Liyanghou Mansion.

Seeing that Zheng Chuang had revealed his identity, Chu Tianjiao softened his attitude and returned the greeting:

"Brother Ge, I must force you. It's just that this matter was ordered by His Majesty and it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

You may have heard that my father beat up the people of Xirong and is ready to return to Beijing.

At this time, anything related to the Xirong people is related to the effectiveness of the peace talks between the two countries.

Please help me, my father-in-law, so that the blood of the frontline soldiers will not be wasted. "

Old Man Ge pondered in embarrassment for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The person that the old man admires most in his life is the old Marquis of Liyang. Since the eldest lady has already mentioned this, the old man will take the risk of getting involved in this matter."

When Chu Tianjiao heard that Old Man Ge had agreed, he bowed deeply to him.

Old Man Ge turned sideways and added without accepting her courtesy:

"The old man explained in advance that if the eldest lady wants to investigate the assassination organization, it will be extremely dangerous. The old man cannot guarantee the eldest lady's safety."

The three sat down.

Old Man Ge said eloquently: "Speaking of which, this underground black market has existed since ancient times, there is nothing surprising about it.

It’s just that the assassination organization you mentioned, as far as I know, Taoists call it the Ghost Alliance..."
