In the back hall of Baoding Mansion, the prefect Zheng Chengen had a stern look on his face, pacing back and forth hurriedly with his hands behind his back, like an ant on a hot pot.

He stopped and bit the man in red robe standing with his head lowered by the door:

"Master Luo, do you have anything to say?"

The man in red robe trembled:

"Sir, the matter has not reached the point of no return. I am trying to figure out how to handle the matter."

"I thought that I, the 'Red Confessor', had the backing of the imperial court, hundreds of thousands of followers outside, a lot of talents, and many masters, but I was disturbed by a small factory dog ​​in the south of the Yangtze River. Could it be that he has three heads and six arms? In fact,

It’s not because of your incompetence as a leader!”

The middle-aged man in red robe was submissive and did not dare to say a word.

"Since the Changzhou helmsman Jin Changshun has been targeted by them, we should simply replace him. We must not let the thousand-mile dike collapse in an ant nest."

"Thank you for your teaching, sir. I will deal with this matter immediately after I return." The man in red robe bowed and exited.

This year's plum rainy season came early, and it started to rain continuously in May.

It was still that dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city. Jin Changshun, who was wearing a black robe and a black scarf, was facing the slightest drizzle and was lecturing the four winning brothers in front of him:

"Since you Ying brothers went south, I have given you extremely high treatment, beauties, jewelry, and whatever you asked for. I have been extremely benevolent. On the other hand, you only want to eat, drink, and have fun, and the mission has not been completed so far. The enemy is so arrogant.

, causing a lot of irreparable losses to our rudder. If we can’t extinguish its power of starting a prairie fire, my rudder will ask you nothing!”

The Ying triplets didn't say a word, but Wei Dongqing argued:

"Master Jin, what you said is wrong. I think my brother is not a wild dog that no one can take care of. Why don't you beg us for help? Now that things are not going well, you are all blaming us. How can there be such truth?

?”

Jin Changshun was so angry that he trembled all over and said nothing for a long time.

I think his reputation as a good man of Jin Chang Shun Jin resounds all over the country, and is even known to women and children in the Changzhou area. Over the years, from the people to the government, who dares to say a word about him? But now he is ridiculed by such young people,

I felt very angry for a moment.

The butler Jin Fu, who was also wearing a black mask next to him, looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.

After a long time, Jin Changshun sighed and said:

"That's it for now, let's get together and part ways. You take your sunny path, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jin Fu suddenly made a gesture to Wei Dongqing, who turned over his hand and showed the dagger in his sleeve. He quickly caught up with Mr. Jin who was about to leave the hospital. He held his chest with his left hand and quickly slashed his throat with the dagger in his right hand.

Mr. Jin let out one last short cry, staggered and fell at the door.

Jin Fu looked at Master Jin's still squirming corpse with disdain in his eyes.

Turning his head, his hunched body stood up straight in an instant, and said to the four brothers:

"The leader has an order, ordering me to take over the position of the helmsman of Changzhou from today on. You brothers, Ying brothers, will continue to stay at the helm and serve the leader. The leader also said that you brothers will be given important positions in the future. For the time being, Wei Dongqing is ordered to be the leader.

Altar Master of Wuxi, you three brothers will go over together to assist you. After you go to Wuxi, reopen the altar to accept disciples, and I will provide all the funds needed."

The four of them clasped their fists and accepted the order.

The rain fell even harder, washing away the blood under Master Jin.

A dazzling lightning flashed across, and Mr. Jin's wide-open eyes seemed to be full of loneliness and unwillingness.

How can life be so satisfying? Everything can only be half-satisfied.

Unfortunately, when I came back to my dream, it was already the third watch.

Mr. Jin of Jin Changshun disappeared suddenly. The Jin family sent out people to search for him for ten days, but there was no news and no trace. It was only then that the whole Jin family panicked.

For so many years, all the business of the Jin family has been run by Mr. Jin and the housekeeper Jin Fu. The rest of the Jin family enjoys a leisurely life with clothes to eat and food to eat, and they never have to worry about their future.

Mr. Jin had many wives and concubines, but he only gave birth to two sons. One died underage, and the remaining one was in his twenties, but his brain did not grow with age and remained at the age of four or five.

At a certain level, he can barely feed himself without being fed by others.

Nowadays, the burden of managing the life inside and outside the Jin family and managing the business has no choice but to fall on the shoulders of Jin Fu, a housekeeper.

For this reason, Mr. Jin’s four wives and concubines all felt very sorry and specially told Jin Fu:

"Jin Fu, you have been in our family for decades. The master has always valued you very much and never treated you as an outsider. Now that the master cannot see anyone when he is alive or his body after death, the whole family still has to eat and drink, and the business outside has to be done.

Go on, we can only rely on you for this. You are the biggest benefactor of our Jin family!"

When it comes to passion, I almost have to kneel down and kowtow to Jin Fu.

Jin Fu said quickly:

"Thank you ladies for your love! Please rest assured, even if I am broken into pieces, I, Jin Fu, will still have to take good care of the inside and outside of the Jin family in order to repay the kindness of the master and the ladies!"

The disappearance of Jin Changshun also attracted the attention of Du Wenlin and others.

"My government officials take turns monitoring Jin Changshun twelve hours a day. Who would have thought that he disappeared for no reason under the nose? Did he see that the situation was not good for him and hid?" Magistrate Ouyang said.

"This is also possible, but until the matter is clarified, it is all just conjecture." Tu Qianjun said.

"Well, the key is that most of the believers who were escorted from Wuxi in the cells did not have the antidote. They were crying and shouting, as if they were crazy, and the pain was beyond words. If Jin Changshun could not find the antidote, these

It may be difficult for people to get through the end of the month.”

Everyone was silent, feeling helpless about this.

Du Wenlin interjected:

"Although they joined the 'Red Sect', most of them were deceived or forced into it, and their crimes would not lead to death, but what can they do?" At this point, he sighed and said:

"We can only do our best. If Jin Changshun can be arrested and brought to justice early, they may still have hope of survival. At present, we only have information about Jin Changshun, and there is almost no information about his followers.

You know. If he disappears, we will be passive because we have lost this important clue."

As soon as Du Wenlin's words came out, everyone realized that up to now, they had only indirectly learned about Jin Changshun's identity as the helmsman. This was just from hearsay, and almost nothing else was known.

"Why don't we arrest him all over the city tomorrow? Is it possible that he can still fly to the sky?" Magistrate Ouyang asked.

Du Wenlin opposed this approach:

"A city-wide arrest will have little effect. If he really hides on purpose, it will be difficult to find him. Since he can't be found, we may be able to find clues by looking at his family and life circle behind the scenes."

Everyone felt that Du Wenlin's suggestion was advisable and decided to start an investigation immediately.

No one knows the details of Jin Changshun's followers as well as Jin Fu, and he even has more information than his boss.

But now is not the time for me to command them, because the factory guards and Tiqi are all digging deep to look for Jin Changshun and his men.

At this time, what I have to do is how to maintain the Jin family's industry, make it stronger and bigger, and then take it into my arms without knowing it.

Three generations of my ancestors and grandchildren have been slaves in the Jin family. Although the Jin family treats them well, they can never erase their status as servants.

Since Jin Changshun joined the "Red Faction Sect", he has used his financial resources and influence to get into the position of helmsman. However, because his goals are too big, it is inconvenient for him to get ahead, so many affairs in the sect are handled by Jin Fu.

He operated on his behalf. So many people in the church thought that Jin Fu was the helmsman.

Even the contact between the head coach and Changzhou Duokou was mostly handled by Jin Fu.

Ever since the factory guards targeted Jin Changshun, Jin Fu knew that his end was coming, because based on his understanding of this religion, it was impossible for the higher-ups to leave a source of trouble here.

God followed people's wishes, and finally a messenger came from above. This time he brought a written order for Jin Fu to succeed Jin Changshun as the helmsman of Changzhou, and an oral order for Jin Changshun to disappear completely from this world.

I have always believed in a saying: What should be my own cannot escape.

Now, he is finally on the bright road of becoming a master. In a few years, he will be the second Mr. Jin who is famous far and wide.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch the tender skin of the little Phoenix Fairy next to me, which made her scream again.

The streets and alleys of Changzhou have recently become more familiar to the factory guards and Tiqi than the alley in front of their own homes; they wear plain clothes and walk in pairs every day, hoping to find something about the situation.

Clues about Mr. Jin.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

With the disappearance of Jin Changshun, all his followers were like poisonous snakes when the cold wind came, disappearing and dormant underground in an instant.

Although the owner has disappeared, the business of the Jin family continues to be prosperous under the orderly management of the housekeeper Jin Fu. This has to make everyone praise the Jin family for having accumulated evil deeds in their previous lives, and they have such a loyal and capable housekeeper like Jin Fu.

Du Wenlin and Wang Ling went to several shops of the Jin family for a walk, hoping to make unexpected discoveries.

"Jinji Pawn Shop" is located in a prosperous area in the center of Changzhou, and its business has always been booming.

Recently, Xiao Fengxian became the manager of a pawn shop, flirting with customers all day long, which made Lao Chaofeng Liu Jingxian so angry that he cursed in his heart: You are treating this place as a brothel.

Du Wenlin and Wang Ling walked into the pawn shop. Xiao Fengxian was sitting at the coffee table drinking tea. When she saw the two entering the room, she greeted them with a smile:

"Are you two gentlemen here to pawn things or redeem them?"

"We're just here for a walk." Du Wenlin is an honest person, so he tells the truth.

"This is neither a Goulan courtyard nor a vegetable market, what's the point of getting better?" As he said this, he sat down again with disdain on his face.

Wang Ling quit, and with a swipe sound, she pulled out the soft sword from her waist, slammed it on the counter, and said with a cold face:

"Look how much silver my sword is worth?"

Chaofeng Lao Liu at the counter shivered with fright.

It is the rule of the pawn shop not to collect swords and other weapons, and no one wants to be involved with people who play with knives and guns.

Now this woman in red has photographed such a shining sword here, obviously trying to find trouble.

When Xiao Fengxian saw something bad, she immediately changed her face to a smile:

"Oh, it's all my fault for being bad-mouthed and accidentally offending you two. I can't help but apologize to you two!" He said, bowing and arching.

"What's wrong? My sword is worthless?" Wang Ling said.

"No, miss, please don't get me wrong, our store does not accept swords and other weapons." Xiao Fengxian complained secretly in her heart. Just now she thought they were just ordinary young ladies from a rich family, but suddenly someone showed up.

"Who just said that this is not a Goulan Courtyard or a vegetable market? Then please explain what kind of business is here?"

Liu Chaofeng inside quickly ran out to smooth things over:

"Just now, the shopkeeper was confused and offended you two. Please forgive me. I will apologize to you two again on behalf of the shopkeeper!" He bowed and bowed.

"Humph, in all these years, no one has ever dared to insult me ​​like this. Just apologize and be done with it?" Wang Ling refused to give up.
Chapter completed!
