Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 188: Port Tragedy

Jiangzhou City has an old Taoist priest who travels around the world. He sells fortune and misfortune on the main street through the Xun Gua. The old Taoist priest sits on the street and tells everyone he meets that the Yintang is dark and that there has been a bloody disaster recently. Ling Xin'an greeted him when he passed by.

The latter sometimes only gave him a wink when he was busy, and Ling Xin'an didn't bother him. When he passed by while working or teaching, the most he could do was salute.

As for the food and drink of the Taoist priests, they can do whatever they want in Wangjiang Tower. Although they cannot be distinguished guests, the waiter will not offend him. As for the money, the shopkeeper has said that he doesn't need to worry about it.

Fortunately, the old Taoist priest is not so shameless as to be outrageous. He eats and drinks when he should, but he never wastes it and does not plan to treat guests. Just like today, he went to Wangjiang Tower with two acquaintances, an older one.

He was dressed in Taoist priest attire similar to his and a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Taoist Priest, do you want to go to such a high-end place for dinner?" the girl asked in surprise.

The old Taoist priest said: "Little girl, I see you have a peach blossom face. Are you here to find a husband?"

The girl's face turned red and she stamped her feet and said, "Taoist Priest, you are so unruly!"

An old man next to him said: "Brother Tao, I haven't seen you for many years, but your style remains the same."

The old Taoist priest chuckled and said, "You seem to be a little more diligent. Your sect is so thin that it's difficult to grow stronger!"

The old man nodded in agreement, and the three of them sat down. When the waiter saw that it was the old Taoist priest who had brought the people in, he looked puzzled, but he still treated them warmly and politely.

"Taoist Master Huanglong is paying the bill today. Let me tell you that your meal will not be in vain." The old Taoist priest said with a smile.

The waiter at Wangjiang Tower laughed when he heard this and said: "Taoist Master, what you said is right. Your Majesty has given you orders. Even if you eat and drink, we will not have any objections to you. If we don't do enough, please correct us."

!”

The old Taoist priest sighed after hearing this, and said to the man named Taoist Master Huang Long: "Look, these are the people you are looking for. They are trained by the people you are looking for. They do not retaliate when they are scolded. They are so polite, how can you ask people to do it!"

Taoist Master Huang Long was the Taoist Huang Long that day. He looked around and couldn't help but nodded: "It turns out that Taoist brother already knew what we were doing!"

The old Taoist priest said: "As soon as this little girl entered the city gate, she asked for directions to the Ling Mansion. I'm not deaf, so how could I not be clear?"

The person beside Taoist Huang Long was naturally his disciple Huang Yahui, whom Ling Xin'an met on the way to Hanzhou, Huizhou.

Unexpectedly, almost a year later, they appeared in Jiangzhou City.

"Taoist Master, you are not serious!" Huang Yahui glared at the old Taoist priest with a red face.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "Who is not serious? As soon as he enters the city gate, he is looking for his future husband. He can't wait to see him immediately. Who do you think is not ashamed?"

"Master?" Huang Yahui stamped her feet and said.

Taoist Huanglong smiled and said, "Don't the Ling Mansion know about it?"

Huang Yahui heard her master say this, her face was rosy and charming and she said: "How did you know?"

"Oh, a woman who falls in love is so stupid. She is so far away but right in front of her eyes. Isn't this his restaurant? If you want to know where Ling's Mansion is, just pick up a waiter and you will know it. What's more, as soon as you enter the city gate

, I must have asked the wrong person. If he is a local, how could he not know where he lives?" the old Taoist sighed.

Huang Yahui's head suddenly drooped and was about to sink under the table. She really couldn't understand that she could be so stupid.

Taoist Huanglong laughed and did not explain.

The three of them were reminiscing about old times here, while at Jiangzhou Port, Feng Cai sat in his own private room at the port to deal with political affairs.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

As the port became more and more prosperous, his workload became larger and more assistants were recruited, and he became more familiar with the port. Seeing the daily volume of goods coming in and out and the information returned from inspections, he became more familiar with Ling.

The Lord's admiration became more and more intense. After listening to the servant's report, he intercepted a ship of goods and walked out.

"Tell me honestly, who asked you to transport these things?" The guard looked at the ship full of prohibited goods in front of him, and the boatman squatted in the corner with an expression on his face and did not dare to say a word.

"Master Feng, we were just intercepted." The guard looked at Feng Cai, who had just arrived, and said, looking at a ship full of cargo, his face became gloomy.

"How did these goods appear in Jiangzhou City?" Feng Cai was also surprised, because the guard who intercepted the ship today saw that the ship was very deep, so he stopped to open the box for inspection, and then discovered the contraband.

A ship full of black ore, a kind of cargo that can only be imported but not exported. Before the port opened, Ling Xin'an gave Feng Cai some catalogs of goods that could not be imported and which could not be exported, such as alcohol, soy sauce, food.

Vinegar is a product that is developed locally in Jiangzhou City and sold to other states. They cannot be imported. This prevents those chambers of commerce from producing and transporting it from other places to Jiangzhou City to avoid paying taxes. Similarly, all the iron ore and war horses stipulated by Ling Xin'an are not allowed to be imported.

No such substances are allowed to be exported, except those that are turned over to the imperial court.

"Sir, I don't know!" the boatman cried sadly.

"I don't know?" the guard said angrily: "Your Excellency has long posted the list of prohibited items at the entrance of each dock to remind you all the time, but you don't know?"

The boatman said: "I originally planned to unpack these small goods for inspection, but the owner did not inspect them. He only said that they would be shipped out. The fee given was 30% of the supermarket price. Seeing that the small goods were profitable, they agreed!"

Feng Cai asked: "Who is the owner of the cargo registered?"

The guard said: "My name is Wu Ming."

"Wu Ming Wu Ming just doesn't have a name!" Feng Cai said coldly: "Detain this batch of goods, take him down, and interrogate him thoroughly."

"Yes, sir!"

"Those congested ships behind will be inspected. Be careful if someone takes advantage of the chaos and demands to be released quickly. Remember, we have our own rules for doing things. Anyone who doesn't follow our rules will be taken down directly!" Feng Cai ordered again.

Looking at the boatman who was queuing up behind and yelling for a quick inspection, Feng Cai gave this instruction.

The ship filled with black ore was transported to the designated parking location. Feng Cai, who sat back in his office room, suddenly felt irritable. The black ore seemed very familiar. He had heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Missing some key points.

Unable to sit still, Feng Cai quickly wrote down the urgent letter and said to the assistant at the door: "Give this letter to your Excellency immediately, and go there to get a small piece of ore for your Excellency to appraise."

"Yes, Mr. Feng!" The assistant immediately took the urgent message and went out. The guard heard that he wanted to see the seized ore, so he went with him.

Feng Cai, who had just sat down and sighed, had not completely relaxed when a deafening explosion sounded in his ears.

The entire port was shaking, followed by screams and panic. Feng Cai, who was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, walked out of the room with a trembling look. Looking towards the place where the accident occurred, he saw a thick smoke coming from

The flames rose where the impounded ship was docked, and the screams came from there.

The boats queuing up at the port became confused, but the guards had already headed towards the place where the accident occurred. Feng Cai was the first to run. Before anyone arrived, he saw the injured and wailing guards lying on the ground at the dock and the flames scattered around.

.

"Save people quickly!" Feng Cai shouted.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this time, Xianqingmen and Jiangzhou guards were already rushing from everywhere, as were the guards on both sides. Jiangzhou Port had only been implemented for less than half a year, and now an explosion actually occurred. If this was not intentional, no one would

I don’t believe it anymore.

The person coming from the Xianqing Sect was Zhuge Long, the elder of the main peak. He landed on the ground like a wild goose and said, "Master Feng, what happened?"

"We were attacked by the enemy!" Feng Cai's face was ugly and terrifying. He really couldn't understand what kind of person would attack the port.

"You guys protect Mr. Feng, and the rest of you go to the scene to save people!" Zhuge Long roared.

For Jiangzhou Port, Xianqingmen accounts for 30% of the shares. Xianqingmen regards this as a top priority from top to bottom. Anyone who offends him is tantamount to offending Xianqingmen.

"Quickly put out the fire and see if the port is damaged!" Feng Cai ordered people to take a look while running.

In the dock, the ship had been blown to pieces. The broken ore flying everywhere was still burning with flames. There were corpses and minced meat scattered on the ground, as well as wailing people lying on the ground.

Feng Cai's heart was pounding with fear and chills all over his body. An unprecedented fear poured down from the Tianling Cap. He had never seen the black ore make such a terrifying noise before. The broken corpses on the ground were enough to illustrate its terrifying power.

"What is this?" Zhuge Long, who had calmed down a little at this time, was also shocked. This was the first time he had seen the terrifying power of such a loud noise, and he had never seen these black ores before.

ah……

Screams came from the port again. Feng Cai turned around and looked towards the screams. It was coming from the office. He could vaguely see people with masked faces attacking towards the office room. Their target was

the things inside.

"Stop it!" Feng Cai roared hysterically. If he still doesn't understand now, he doesn't have to stay here any longer.

Zhuge Long was also the one who heard his roar. Following Feng Cai's gaze, he looked at the figure who was attacking and killing people inside. His heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "Xianqingmen, please obey my orders and protect me."

Port secret!"

He took the lead and rushed over there. Xianqingmen and the guards also understood at this time that the enemy was attacking in the east and in the west. Their target was not the port at all, but the secrets inside the port.

Once this secret falls into the hands of the enemy, the damage caused will be inestimable.

Zhuge Long's figure was the first to arrive. At this time, all the guards were lying in a pool of blood. There were more than ten warriors with their faces covered, their eyes were shining. They were obviously masters. When they saw Zhuge Long, four of them immediately attacked at the same time.

come over.

Feng Cai was stunned. His mind was still blank. The enemy's purpose was the secret. He couldn't imagine what kind of person would do this.

"My lord, my lord!" An urgent call came from his ears. Feng Cai, who gradually woke up, looked at the anxious guard in front of him. The latter's anxious and flustered expression was clearly visible.

"My lord, my lord!" the guard shouted again.

Feng Cai suddenly became excited, woke up, and immediately shouted: "Put down the stone gate!"

The guards standing on the observation deck of the bunker began to protect them as soon as the accident happened. A huge bell rang, and countless figures emerged from the bunker one after another, quickly appearing in the fighting position. Without waiting for Feng Cai's voice, the stone gate had already

Put it down with a bang.

"Light the first-level beacon fire and notify Master Ling! The enemy is attacking!" Feng Cai shouted.

Woo...

The low thunder of war drums sounded, and a thick black firework was instantly lit.
