Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Chengbi is born in autumn, and the air is cool and windy.

The West Street of Guang'an Town is where the official post is located, and the business is lively and the shops are prosperous.In addition, there are many pedestrians and merchants, and they are well-informed. No matter what is new in Guang'an Town or the surrounding counties, as long as you walk around this street a few times and drink a few bowls of tea, you will be able to listen to it. ten.

Under a century-old tree at the end of the street, there is a tea stand, where a large bowl of tea only costs one copper coin, which is very popular among traffickers.

It was just after noon at this time, and the tea stand was already full of passers-by, drinking tea while discussing a major case that was tried by the county government of Guang'an Town early this morning.

"Oh, I've opened my eyes today. I didn't expect that the father and daughter who sued that handsome young master a few days ago were actually liars!" The person who spoke was a burly, dark-faced man with a big beard.

"Hey, I said that, that... By the way, Mr. Yun Junshan is so good-looking, he must not be a bad person!" A bald man next to him also joked.

"Tch, the father and daughter surnamed Meng seem quite friendly. Who would have expected that they are habitual offenders who cheated several counties and prefectures, defrauding tens of thousands of silver!" The black-faced man shook his head.

"I heard that as long as you can catch this pair of liars, you can get a bounty of several thousand taels!" The bald man stared.

"Oh, my dear, isn't it going to make a fortune!" The black-faced man was speechless.

"How can there be thousands of taels, only 1000 taels!" Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind the two of them.

The two big men turned around and saw two teenagers standing behind them.One is wearing a short jacket, with a broken knife on his back, dark skin, thick head, a pair of bright eyes, looks very pleasing; the other looks a bit weird, half of his face is picturesque , looks like a fairy, but the other half has an ugly scar like a centipede, coupled with a stiff expression, dressed in black, the whole is gloomy and uncomfortable.Could it be Ai Hu and Yu Mo?

Fortunately, these two big men have been traveling all the year round, and their horizons have been broadened. They have long been familiar with strange things, and they greeted them warmly.

"Come, come, come and sit, two little brothers." The bald man beckoned, "There are a lot of people drinking tea at the moment, let's squeeze together."

"Okay." Ai Hu happily sat on the floor.

Yu Mo also sat down slowly with a sullen face.

"Are the two little brothers new here?" The black-faced man looked curious.

"He's here to deliver a letter." Ai Hu pointed to the station not far away.

"Oh?" The bald man became interested, "Is the little brother a member of the government?"

Ai Hu shook his head: "I'm just a vulgar person who catches thieves and gets rewards, not a member of the government."

"That's half a man in the government." The black-faced man paused, then asked curiously, "The bounty for the father and daughter is really only 1000 taels?!"

"Yes." Ai Hu sighed lightly.

Another 500 taels were taken away by Brother Jin...

"A bounty of 1000 taels is a rare and big case!" the bald man sighed.

"That's not true! If it weren't for such a case, how could the imperial envoy come forward to try the case!" The black-faced man looked excited.

"Hey, little brother, the imperial envoy to try the case this morning, have you gone yet?" the bald man asked.

"Of course I went." Ai Hu pulled Yu Mo up and said, "Both of us went."

Yu Mo silently glanced at Ai Hu, then continued drinking tea with his head bowed.

"Let's go see it too. The cheating father and daughter were sentenced to ransacking the house and exile for five years. I think the sentence is light. This kind of disaster not only defrauds money but also defrauds love. Those sons and young masters who have been harmed are quite miserable." , might as well cut it clean."

As soon as the black-faced man finished his sentence, Yu Mo, who had been acting as a background board in silence, suddenly said forcefully: "Your Excellency judges the case, act according to the law, don't talk nonsense!"

The two big men were taken aback at the same time, and couldn't help but look at Yu Mo.

But Yu Mo was still holding the tea bowl expressionlessly, as if the words just now had nothing to do with him.

"Haha, that, this person is like this, he speaks indifferently." Ai Hu hurriedly laughed.

"Hehe," the bald man scratched his bald scalp, "this little brother is right, no matter what you say, the imperial envoy is much better than our blind county magistrate."

Hearing this, the black-faced man suddenly regained his spirits: "Speaking of which, the county magistrate is really an idiot. He used to treat a liar as a sufferer, but he didn't say that he wronged Mr. Yun. Later, he was exposed by the imperial envoy, and he dared to insult the imperial envoy in court. My lord, in the end he was stripped of his official position on the spot, slapped [-] boards, and sentenced to two years of fashion, he really wanted to die."

"You don't know that." The bald man lowered his voice, "The county magistrate is so arrogant because he has a backer behind him."

"What kind of backing can be as strong as the backing of the imperial envoy? The imperial envoy patrols hunting on behalf of the sky, and wherever he goes, he feels like the emperor is in person, that is the most arrogant in the world!" The black-faced man disagreed.

"That's right!" Ai Hu also participated in the discussion, "This imperial envoy is a disciple of Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is amazing!"

The bald man nodded frequently: "You are in a high position at a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future. Moreover, you are also handsome and talented..."

"Hey, speaking of good-looking talents..." The bald-headed man interrupted the black-faced man, his eyes and the entire bald head were shining brightly, and his voice was obviously a lot louder, "Did you see the man in red next to the imperial envoy?" grown ups?"

Both Ai Hu and Yu Mo were confused by the sudden excitement of the bald man.

"The lord in red—what's the matter?" Ai Hu asked in a daze.

"What's the matter?!" The bald man raised his voice again, "I have lived for decades, and I have never seen such a good-looking person except for Mr. Yun! It is said that since the big girls and daughter-in-laws in the city saw that The adults are all suffering from lovesickness, they don't think about food and tea, and they are all sallow and emaciated..."

"...It's only been a few hours, so it's not enough." Ai Hu secretly wiped his sweat.

"As for, sure as for!" The bald man said with a serious face, "Don't talk about those little girls, even me, an old man, trembles when he sees it! Little brother, you are also half of the government. Do you know who that adult is?"

"The fourth rank of imperial guards with swords, Zhan Zhao." Before Ai Hu could answer, Yu Mo suddenly said another sentence.

Immediately, the faces of the two burly men showed a look of admiration of "that's how it is".

"No wonder!" The black-faced man was speechless, "I'm just saying, with that appearance, that aura, he must not be a mortal!"

"Wait!" The bald man seemed to have thought of something suddenly, staring straight at Yu Mo and Ai Hu, his voice trembling, "If that is Mr. Zhan, then, the one next to Mr. Zhan has lost weight , the one with narrow eyes, isn’t, isn’t he—”

"That man is Jinqian, Cong Liupin of Kaifeng Mansion." Ai Hu looked at the expression of the bald man, very puzzled, "What?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were uttered, the two big men shouted in unison: "Oh my dear!"

This high-decibel voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

"I said what are you two talking about?"

"It's windy and sunny all morning, and it's so easy to rest here, can't you be quiet for a while?!"

But the two ignored the complaints from the surroundings, and one of them was so excited that he couldn't help but pat his thigh: "It's Captain Jin! Oh, I actually saw a living person today!"

The other was full of radiance and yearning: "The last time I went to Bianjing to deliver goods, I heard from relatives in Bianjing that this Kaifeng Mansion's Jin Xiaowei can understand ghosts and gods, and knows the fate of heaven. When he sees him, he can avoid evil." , the wealth is prosperous, and he is a first-class strange person in the world!"

The two jumped up at the same time:

"Hurry up! While Lieutenant Jin is still in the county government office, let's go to the gate of the county government office to pay respects. We will surely have good luck and fortune in the coming year!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will go and bring the guy at home. By the way, my relatives and friends will also tell me!"

As they talked, they threw down the tea bowl and paid the money for the tea, and disappeared in a flash.

A gust of autumn wind blew through the old trees above the tea stand, blowing down a few yellow leaves.

All the people at the tea stand looked at each other for a while, and then slowly came to their senses:

"Captain Jin! Did they mean Captain Jin!"

"Grandma's, I didn't say it earlier, I almost missed a major event!"

"Hurry up, second brother, quickly call your sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and I will go to the county government office to take a good seat!"

"Okay, brother, do you want to buy two catties of pork head meat?"

"Buy some pork head meat, go buy a pig's head, and bring our incense burner to it!"

"Brother is still thoughtful!"

All of a sudden, the whole tea stall was chaotic, and in less than a moment, everyone ran away, leaving only Ai Hu with a face struck by lightning and Yu Mo with an expressionless face sitting alone at the tea stall superior.

"This, this, this..." Ai Hu turned his neck stiffly, looking at Yu Mo with a face twitching.

Yu Mo drank his tea with his head down, and after a while, he said, "Jinqian, very good." After a pause, he added two more words, "Best."

"Uh..." Ai Hu slowly came back to his senses, "I didn't expect Brother Jin to have such abilities—ah!!" He slapped his head, "Now that I think about it, along the way, black shops, secret roads, buying clothes, and inviting Brother Bai Going out to capture the Meng family's father and daughter, escaping from the prison in the county government, and those black-clothed killers...every time they are extremely dangerous, but they can be saved..."

"Yu Mo!" Ai Hu jumped up, "Hurry up, hurry up, accompany me to the market to buy a pig's head, and I will pay homage to Brother Jin when I go back!"

"Pfft!" Comrade Yu Mo, whose identity had always been marked by a paralyzed and expressionless face, spat out a sip of tea for the first time.

-

"Ah Choo! Ah Choo!!! Ah Choo!!!"

At the same time, Jin Qian, who was sitting in the study in the backyard of the county government office, sneezed three times in a row, which attracted the attention of Yan Chasan, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and the four mice sitting in the same room.

"But did you catch a cold?" Zuo Zuo Zhanzhao asked in a low voice.

"It must be because you tossed those broken bones last night and didn't sleep well." Bai Yutang on the right speculated with a frown.

"If Lieutenant Jin is not feeling well, why don't you go back and rest for a while." Yan Chasan, who was sitting in the seat, said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern." Jin Qian rubbed his nose, "Your subordinate is fine. It may be that the bones were smelled by the smell when they were inspected."

"It's fine if nothing happens." Yan Chasan asked with a calm expression, "Does Captain Jin have any clues when he examines the killer's bones?"

"My lord, there is indeed a clue!" Jin Qian got up and clasped his fists, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "After inspection by my subordinates, I found that these black-clothed killers—that is, the Ten Absolute Army that Cang Zhi said should all be targeted. Blood Gu."

"Blood Gu?" Everyone in the room was at a loss.

"Could you tell me more about Captain Jin?" Jiang Ping said, shaking his goose feather fan.

Jin Qian nodded, took a deep breath, and started the lecture on poison popularization: "The so-called blood gu is to pour the highly poisonous drug that can control people's mind and the Miaojiang Gu worm into the pure Yin woman's body at the same time, and nourish the poison with blood. After September 81, the Gu worms and the poison were fused together in the woman's blood, and then the woman's blood was condensed into medicine, which became the blood Gu."

Speaking of this, Jin Qian paused, and took another breath, "After taking the blood gu, ordinary people lose their minds and stop their five senses. They can only manipulate the Gu insects with special sounds or smells to control their actions."

After speaking, there was a dead silence in the study.

After a long time, Yan Chasan finally said quietly: "It's, it's... appalling!"

"It's too bad!" Xu Qing slapped the table and jumped up, "Who thought of this trick, if I let Mr. Xu know, I will definitely smash his muscles to ashes!"

"Third brother, please be safe and don't be impatient." Jiang Ping frowned and comforted him, and then asked Jin Qian, "The blood gu that Captain Jin mentioned is the Ten Absolute Pill that Cang Zhi said?"

"Based on Cangzhi's meaning, it's probably true." Jin Qian paused, "We haven't seen the toxicity of these Ten Absolute Pills, but..." Jin Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Chasan and Zhan Zhao.

"But it's okay to say." Yan Chasan settled down.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Jin Qian secretly sighed: "This subordinate knows the origin of the poison that controls people's mind."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Jin Qian took a deep breath and looked at Zhan Zhao, "I wonder if Mr. Zhan still remembers Pang Yu, Anlehou of Chenzhou, and Jiang Chunnan of Hangzhou Yunrong Society?"

Zhan Zhao's starry eyes widened: "Lieutenant Jin said—they all used the same poison...could it be that——Lu Mei?!"

Jin Qian nodded with a serious face.

"Green beauty!!" All the Jianghu people here did not change their colors when they heard this.

"Didn't it mean that this poison disappeared ten years ago?!" Han Zhang said in shock.

"Unexpected, unexpected..." Lu Fang shook her head slightly.

"This Lu Mei has harmed countless heroes in the Jianghu ten years ago, but at the age of Captain Jin, how can he know this thing?" Jiang Ping asked with a puzzled expression.

"This..." Jin Qian looked puzzled, glanced at Bai Yutang, and then turned his gaze to Zhan Zhao.

Hey, cat and white mouse, if we go on with this, we will have to clarify our identity as the disciple of the Immortal of Medicine and Poison Sage. Although [-]% of the King of Xiangyang already knows it, if our identity is so unscrupulously publicized When it comes to the rivers and lakes, there must be a lot of trouble!

With a flash of peachy eyes, Bai Yutang understood Jin Qian's scruples, and said firmly, "Little Jinzi, don't worry, Bai Mou guarantees with his life that I, the Five Rats of Trapped Sky Island, will not tell anyone about your sect! "

Zhan Zhao frowned, pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Zhan believes that the Five Rats of the Sky Island are a man of his word."

Only then did Jin Qian secretly heave a sigh of relief, nodded, turned his head to look at the other four mice, and said solemnly: "To be honest, Jin is the only direct disciple of the Immortal Doctor Gui Jianchou and the Ghost God Poison Sage who retired ten years ago. !"

The room was silent.

Lu Fang stared, Han Zhang opened his mouth, Jiang Ping raised his eyebrows, Xu Qing was dumbfounded.

"And that Lu Mei was refined by the Master Poison Saint." Jin Qian dropped another explosive message.

This time, not only the four mice, but also Yan Chasan and Bai Yutang were stunned.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and immediately got up and stood beside Jin Qian, scanning the crowd one by one with lightning-like eyes, with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "This is the work of the Poison Sage, and has nothing to do with Jin Qian!"

This sound, like the ringing of a bell, immediately awakened everyone from their shock.

"Cat, why are you acting like you want to eat people?!" Bai Yutang jumped up and rolled his eyes at Zhan Zhao, "We are not indiscriminate people, how could we wrong Little Jinzi!"

The other four mice also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Xu Qing: "Yes, yes."

Han Zhang: "There is an injustice and a debtor."

Lu Fang: "Nanxia don't need to be nervous."

"Why did Senior Poison Sage refine Lu Mei?" Jiang Ping grasped the key point.

"This..." Jin Qian scratched his head, "Second Master said that he was deceived by someone with sweet words when he was young, so he refined this kind of poison for that person..."

"Who is that person?" Yan Chasan asked anxiously, his eyes brightened.

"That..." Jin Qian laughed dryly, "Hey, that, the old man said he can't remember..."

There was an eerie silence.

"Ahem...Since the poison was refined by the senior Poison Sage, Captain Jin must have a way to detoxify it." Jiang Ping broke the silence.

"To tell the truth, Fourth Master Jiang," Jin Qian sighed secretly, "If those women who nourish poison with blood—like those rescued from the secret cave in West Lake, they can still be cured, but those who take blood gu—— For example, the Ten Absolute Army, alas... Although it looks like it can move without hindrance and has a strong combat power, in fact, its heart has already stagnated and its fuel is exhausted. To put it bluntly, it is just a corpse controlled by Gu insects."

"Does that mean they are already dead?" Bai Yutang raised his voice.

Jin Qian nodded.

Everyone looked terrified.

"It turns out that it is a corpse, so it can be painless and heartless, not afraid of being stabbed by a sword... But it is really like what Cang said, painless and feelingless, immortal, one is worth a hundred, and the world is invincible!" Lu Fang said with emotion.

Everyone recalled the tragic battle situation before, and they couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Unfortunately, this heaven-defying move cannot last long, the corpse will rot after all." Bai Yutang sneered.

"Fortunately, there is this defect, otherwise, the king of Xiangyang would have swept away thousands of troops of the Song Dynasty with just these ten outstanding troops." Jiang Ping sighed, paused, and suddenly seemed to think of something, Doudou's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said suddenly , "So that's the case, I understand."

Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Ping, with doubts on their faces.

"Fourth brother, what do you understand?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Jiang has always wondered why the King of Xiangyang wanted to capture Captain Jin over and over again. Now that I think about it, the reason must be here." Jiang Ping squinted his peas, "Captain Jin is the son of the Immortal Doctor and Poison Sage." Disciple, therefore, the King of Xiangyang intends to use Jin Xiaowei's unparalleled medical skills and poisonous skills to improve the Ten Absolute Army and make up for the fatal flaw that the Ten Absolute Army will rot."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was suddenly enlightened.

"That's right, it must be so!" Bai Yutang said firmly.

Zhan Zhao frowned and looked at Jin Qian: "Captain Jin, do you really have a solution?"

When Jin Qian saw everyone's vaguely expectant eyes, he couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.

Hey, we are only the disciples of the Immortal Doctor and the Poison Sage, and we are not the subordinates of Lord Jesus Yanluo Taishang. You must know that the objective laws of nature, such as death, lamps, corpses and decay, do not depend on human will!

"Don't say that the subordinates can't do anything, even if the master master and the second master of the subordinates work together, they are also helpless!" Jin Qian spread his hands.

"...Sure enough." Jiang Ping waved his goose feather fan, with a look of magic stick that I had expected a long time ago.

"The way of heaven is natural, and life and death have their own definite number. Using forbidden techniques to control life and death in vain, which violates the laws of heaven, naturally cannot last long." Yan Chasan concluded.

Everyone nodded.

That's right, that's right, going against the laws of natural development certainly has no good results.

Jin Qianyou agrees.

"So, King Xiangyang's subordinates have been busy for a long time, but they are actually doing useless work?!" Han Zhang laughed a little.

"It's true that people are not as good as heaven." Lu Fang sighed.

"Since it can't be cured..." Yan Chasan sighed, with compassion on his face, "Captain Jin, why don't you think of a way to speed up the decay of the Ten Juejun... At least let them be released and buried as soon as possible."

"Your subordinate obeys." Jin Qian solemnly clasped his fists.

"Actually, Bai has always had doubts." Bai Yutang stroked his chin with a puzzled expression on his face, "Since Cangzhi had doubted Bai's identity from the very beginning, why didn't he send the Ten Juejun when Bai first came into contact with the Meng family and his daughter?" They chose to kill by force, but they chose to set up traps and tricks to go around in circles, even after luring Xiao Jinzi and Mao'er into the game, they dragged on for a whole day before doing it, but in the end they lost the opportunity."

"Could it be that this person is quite conceited and came here just to show off his intelligence?" Han Zhang speculated.

"If you are really talented, you should strike first!" Bai Yutang squinted his peach blossom eyes, "The strength of the Ten Absolute Army is amazing. If we attack and kill us when we have nothing to prevent, the outcome may be hard to say now."

"Second brother, fifth brother, don't need to guess, I think the reason is very simple." Jiang Ping said with a light smile.

Bai Yutang, Han Zhang, and the others all cast their gazes at Fourth Master Jiang at the same time.

Jiang Ping narrowed his eyes, waved his goose feather fan leisurely and said: "Everyone still remember that Cangzhi cursed a person's name before he died, it should be..."

"It's the 'Fire Messenger'." Zhan Zhao said firmly.

Jiang Ping nodded: "Jiang speculates based on this person's words before and after, that the Fire Emissary seems to be the one who can really command the Ten Juejun."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ping turned his attention to Yan Chasan.

Yan Cha nodded: "Yan asked Yu Mo, that's exactly what happened."

"Fourth Master Jiang, do you mean that it's not that Cang Zhi doesn't want to kill us by force, but that he can't use the Ten Absolute Army as he likes?" Jin Qian looked surprised.

Jiang Ping smiled at Jinqian: "According to Jiang's inference, I am afraid that if Cangzhi wants to call the Ten Juejun, he needs to be ordered by the Fire Emissary. So he can only use tactics to stabilize you first, and then delay the time until the Shijue Jun is accepted." After the order of the fire emissary arrives, I will catch you all at once." Speaking of this, Jiang Ping let out a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the four of my brothers were one step ahead of him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

It turned out that Cangzhi wanted to use the Ten Absolute Army, which was equivalent to inter-departmental borrowing, so he had to make a report to apply, and then he could act after being approved by the leaders at all levels. Tsk tsk, the procedures are so cumbersome and kill people!

Jinqian is deeply worried about the internal work efficiency of Xiangyang Wang Group.

"It must be that fire emissary who didn't want this bastard to do meritorious service, so he sent the rotten Ten Absolute Army, which allowed us to take advantage of the loophole." Han Zhang said with emotion, "It's really dog ​​bite dog hair."

That's right, that's right, there is no future for dismantling each other and intrigue within the unit. Family and everything are prosperous. Unity is strength and truth is.

Jin Qian agrees very much.

"Master Yan," Jiang Ping got up and walked to the desk, dipped his fingers in the tea, and wrote on the table, "Before in Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gongsun made bold assumptions based on the known clues, inferring that the King of Xiangyang was a traitor. The army should consist of the following five positions."

Everyone stepped forward to take a look, and saw Jiang Ping writing the five characters "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" in sequence on the table.

"First of all, it's the envoy of water." Jiang Ping drew a circle around the word "water", "that is, Miss Bingji before and Jiang Chunnan after. Sources from all parties. If you think about the Hongyue Town Feihong Building and the Bianjing haunted case, I am afraid they are also responsible for training beautiful women to seduce and control officials in the court to work for the King of Xiangyang."

Everyone nodded.

"Secondly, it's the Fire Envoy." Jiang Ping clicked on the word "Huo" again, "That's where Yu Mo stayed before. He should be responsible for assassination, assassination, and the control and dispatch of the Ten Absolute Army."

"The third one is Cang Zhi, the envoy of gold that I met this time." Jiang Ping finally pointed to the word "gold", "Cang Zhi should be responsible for collecting money for the King of Xiangyang."

"Mr. Gongsun and Jiang Siye's deduction is very reasonable." Yan Chasan said solemnly.

Jiang Ping nodded, and then pointed to the words wood and earth: "If it's as I inferred, these two people may be even more difficult."

"One of them may be the master poison maker who is in charge of refining the Ten Absolute Pills." Zhan Zhao frowned.

"It's not bad to infer in this way, but what the role of the last person is, so far I still have no idea." Jiang Ping shook his head.

"Perhaps the last one is the most difficult to deal with." Yan Chasan sighed.

Everyone was silent for a while.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while.

Yan Chasan raised his head, looked around the crowd, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be discouraged. Now that we have lost the three generals of the King of Xiangyang, the advantages are fully displayed, and it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue!"

This sentence was meant to encourage the morale of the army, but unexpectedly the four mice on the empty island looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Master Yan, we were pressed for time before, and I couldn't explain why we came. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to pour a basin of cold water on Mr. Yan." Lu Fang sighed.

"Didn't Master Bao invite the four of you to assist Yan?" Yan Chasan was puzzled.

"This is just one, and the second is..." Lu Fang glanced at Jiang Ping.

"The second is——" Jiang Ping frowned, "We are entrusted by all the heroes in the world, and we are here to invite Mr. Yan to attend a treasure appraisal conference at 'No. [-] Village in the World'."

Ok?

As soon as these words came out, Yan Chasan, Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang were all taken aback.

Only Jin Qian's eyes lit up in an instant, and a fierce man jumped up and exclaimed: "Treasure Appreciation Conference?!"

"Cough." Zhan Zhao pushed Jin Qian back.

Yan Chasan suppressed his heart full of bewilderment: "Yan's trip this time is because of the secret decree of the Holy Spirit, especially for the case of the King of Xiangyang..."

"Lord Yan, don't worry, I have already gone to Bianjing to inform Lord Bao of this matter, and Lord Bao has also reported to the emperor, and the emperor has issued an order to invite Lord Yan to participate in this treasure appraisal conference as an imperial envoy." Lu Fang said firmly. .

"So—" Yan Chasan's expression froze: "Yan would like to hear more about it."

"It starts with a new sect that has risen in the Jianghu." Han Zhangyu stood up suddenly, gearing up, looking like he was going to talk about it, "A few years ago, a school named Qilinmen appeared in the Jianghu. At the beginning, only some low-level scum of the rivers and lakes participated in it, but later, I don’t know what this group of people did, and they even recruited some underworld masters to get started. Nearly a year Over the past few years, the Qilin Sect has developed rapidly, its influence is growing, and there is a faint tendency to surpass other sects."

Speaking of this, Han Zhang paused, with a mysterious expression on his face, "More importantly, this Qilin Sect is closely related to the government, and it often haunts Xiangyang—"

"Could it be the King of Xiangyang's trick again?" Bai Yutang frowned.

"That's right!" Jiang Ping continued, "It's a pity that all the spies sent have been lost, and only one person left the news that the Qilin Gate is controlled by the King of Xiangyang. Instead, pave the way for his great cause."

"Furthermore, this Qilin sect is different from other ordinary Jianghu sects. It has clear divisions between superiors and subordinates, strict management, and a special training system. It is not so much a Jianghu organization as it is..." Han Zhang raised his eyebrows, meaning something.

"Army?" Zhan Zhao's voice was serious.

"That's right, it's like an army." Han Zhang said with bright eyes.

"Should we just let it grow bigger?" Bai Yutang said angrily.

"That's why there is this treasure appraising conference!" Lu Fang said.

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Chasan asked.

Jiang Ping stroked his mustaches: "Kirin Sect members usually operate in the dark, their identities are secret, and they are scattered everywhere, which is very difficult. If they cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be even more difficult to prevent them when they come back to life. Therefore, 'No. [-] in the world Yizhuang's Zhuang Zhuang urgently called several Jianghu Zhuang factions such as Sunken Island, Dingjiazhuang, and Zhenxiu Villa to discuss for a long time, and finally decided to design a trap, intending to lure all the masters in the Qilin Sect to take them down..."

"The trap is this treasure appraisal conference?" Yan Chasan asked.

Jiang Ping nodded.

"Why the Treasure Appraisal Conference?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang and Yan Chasan were also puzzled.

Yes, yes, isn't it generally held a martial arts conference to elect a martial arts leader or something to lure those demon sects, gangsters, etc. to take action? !

Jin Qian deeply felt that this was very inconsistent with his common sense of martial arts novels.

Han Zhang chuckled, "Because the King of Xiangyang is short of money recently!"

ha? !

The crowd stared.

"Hey, according to reports from the spies, in the past few months, the purpose of the actions of the Qilin Sect has been for money, silver, and white goods. There have been many frauds in counties and states—such as the numerous crimes committed by the Meng family—and there are several more. The theft and robbery are all related to these people." Jiang Ping said.

"The king of Xiangyang is short of money!" Han Zhang emphasized.

With such an explanation, everyone understands.

Jin Qian couldn't help complaining secretly:

That's right, there are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the Ten Absolute Army, the Qilin Gate, and the messy brothel. Doesn't any one need to be supported by white money? !Alas, military rebellion has always been the most money-consuming business since ancient times. It is estimated that the family property of Xiangyang King has been almost exhausted, so he jumps over the wall and commits suicide to scam money everywhere!

"Since it is a treasure, then what is this treasure that can attract Qilin to come?" Yan Chasan was a little curious.

"The treasure that can tempt both the King of Xiangyang and the Qilin Sect is certainly not an ordinary treasure." Jiang Ping stroked his mustache with a very mysterious look.

"Could it be some priceless treasure handed down from generation to generation?!" Jin Qian's eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Hey, I bet you guys can't think of it." Han Zhang said cheerfully, "It's a picture - a treasure, a treasure, a picture!!"

"Treasure, treasure map?!" Jin Qian raised his voice.

Oh my good boy, did we hear that right?It's a treasure map!Having a treasure map means not just one or two, but a bunch!A bunch of treasures! !

Thinking of this, Jin Qian exuded a strange light all over his body, which was so overwhelming.

"Cough!" Zhan Zhao covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly.

Jin Qian's strange aura immediately dissipated without a trace.

"Treasure map?!" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows. "Fourth brother, isn't this treasure map a fake?!"

Jiang Ping glared at Bai Yutang: "Of course it's true! The owner of Zhenxiu Villa personally verified it."

Tsk, it was authenticated and stamped by an authoritative treasure appraiser!Jin Qian's thin eyes glowed with two green lights.

"Fourth brother, are you not afraid that people from the Qilin Sect will snatch it?" Bai Yutang continued to raise his eyebrows and asked.

"Take it hard?" Jiang Ping sneered, "The treasure appraising conference is held by the 'No. [-] Village in the World'. If you want to grab it hard, you have to see if they have the ability!"

The world's number one village? !where?Never heard of it!

But daring to come up with such a domineering and sloppy name, it must be not a good thing!

Jin Qian secretly speculated.

"The Treasure Appraisal Conference will be held at the 'No. [-] Village in the World'. The owner of the village will set up rules and set up a ring to compete in skills. Only the winner will be able to see the treasure map." Lu Fang said firmly.

"The No. [-] village in the world has already posted an invitation to the top masters in the Jianghu. If the Qilin sect wants to get the treasure map, they will naturally send the elite masters in the sect to fight!" Han Zhang looked excited.

This is forcing Qilin to reveal his family fortune!Jin Qian nodded secretly.

"Then why did you ask Yan to participate?" Yan Chasan finally asked the key point.

Jiang Ping smiled slightly at Yan Chasan: "Master Yan has borrowed three masters who are on top of each other in the Jianghu for this trip." As he spoke, his eyes swept over Zhan, Bai, and Jin.

Eh?

Jin Qian was taken aback.

Yan Chasan immediately understood: "That's right, Zhan Huwei, Bai Shaoxia and Jin Xiaowei are the top masters in the Jianghu. We must attend this treasure appraising conference to strengthen our reputation!"

Hey, hey, cats and white mice are fine, they can be regarded as the reputation of rolling out on the tip of a knife, and they deserve it. How can our half-tongue be counted among the ranks of masters?Don't label others indiscriminately!

Jin Qian almost jumped up.

"More importantly, Lord Yan, the imperial envoy, the King of Xiangyang knows what he is doing. Even if the King of Xiangyang is not interested in the treasure map, as long as Lord Yan sits at the treasure appraisal meeting, the King of Xiangyang will definitely send elites to come to visit him. Fight!" Jiang Ping clasped his fist at Yan Chasan again.

It turned out to be the double bait of the treasure map and the imperial envoy!

Jin Qian gloated and glanced at Yan Chasan.

Yan Shusheng, you have today too!

Letting you send us out every time as an undercover agent is really an annoyance of natural retribution, hahahahaha! !

When Yan Chasan heard the words, his eyes flashed, he got up immediately, and said in a firm voice: "Yan is obliged!"

"Okay, Master Yan is really courageous and righteous!" Lu Fang stood up and clasped his fists in praise.

Xu Qing patted his chest: "My lord, don't worry, my lord's safety this time is on the five of us brothers!"

"I'm relieved if you have Mr. Yan's words." Jiang Ping stood up and saluted, "Tomorrow, my five brothers will escort Mr. Yan to the 'No. [-] Village in the World' to participate in the treasure appraisal conference!"

"Thank you five righteous men." Yan Chasan returned the salute.

"Lord Zhan, Colonel Jin, I hope you two will help us this time!" Jiang Ping clasped his fists at Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian again.

"I will do my best!" Zhan Zhao cupped his hands.

Jinqian was swept away by Jiang Ping's gaze, and his scalp felt numb, and his heart was pounding: Calm down, calm down, thinking that this treasure appraising conference is full of momentum and masters like Lin, it's not our turn to make a half-toned move, at most it's just us Sponsor a few bullets, poison pills, etc. Anyway, Lao Bao and the emperor asked Yan Shusheng to participate in this treasure appraisal conference. At that time, the consumption of these materials will definitely be reimbursed at public expense, no problem, no problem!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian suddenly felt a lot more confident, and clasped his fist at Jiang Ping:

"We will try our best, try our best...haha..."

Just when everyone had discussed it properly and the situation was going well, suddenly, a person rushed in with a loud voice: "Brother Jin, brother Jin, something serious happened!"

Everyone was stunned, watching Ai Hu rushing towards Jin Qian panting, wiping the beads of sweat off his face, he raised his voice and said: "Brother Jin, follow me out to have a look!"

"Ah?" Jin Qian stared narrowly, "What's wrong?"

"But another killer is attacking?!" Zhan Zhao asked aloud.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room tensed up.

"No, no," Ai Hu breathed a sigh of relief, "There are a lot of people outside the county government office. They insisted, they insisted on entering the county government office to pay homage to Brother Jin, and Yu Mo stopped him outside alone. Living……"

"What?!" Jin Qian was dumbfounded.

"Worshiping little gold?" Bai Yutang stared at him, "Why?"

"Because they listen
