"You can't stay in Yedu. There are too many people. Go to the grassland now. I will arrange for you to live among the herding tribes for a period of time and send five hundred cavalry to protect you. The tribes on the grassland have no fixed place.
, living by water and grass, a month after you left, even I don’t know where you are.”
"At the same time, there are almost no outsiders in that place, so as long as a new face appears, like water in a pan, no matter how you change your appearance, you can be easily recognized, and your safety will naturally be guaranteed.
That’s guaranteed. At the same time, most of the things I have to do for you in the future will be on the grassland, so you should first get familiar with the life on the grassland.”
Tian Fang was stunned and said:
"Young master, do you want me to be responsible for the trade from the grassland to Yedu? This, this responsibility is very important. I am a newbie and I may not be able to convince the public."
Lin Fengjin shook his head and said calmly:
"Although the trade route from the grassland to Yedu is prosperous, there are too many people taking a share of it, and it has become mature. How long will it take for you to earn me the six million taels of silver after you leave?"
Tian Fang said in shock:
"That, that?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Have you ever heard of Wu Zuocheng?"
Tian Fangdao:
"I've heard a little bit about it, but people in Yedu have different opinions about it, with both praise and criticism. But I think it should be a very great port, because when we were in Tianjia before, at least 80% of the fabrics we exported were used by people over there.
The scale of this city must be indispensable if it can have such a huge throughput of goods after people have eaten it."
Lin Fengjin said:
"Yes, Wu Zuocheng has now entered a period of rapid development, and that's fine in other aspects. However, there are some problems in terms of distribution and planning economy. These problems are not difficult to solve at present. However,
This already involves the issue of future planning. It’s like a bachelor who wants to build a house. He can’t just build his own house. When he marries a wife and has children, the mother-in-law will also move in.
It can be said that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to tear it down and rebuild it again. It is better to reserve and plan the foundations of three large tile-roofed houses from the beginning!"
"The house can be demolished and rebuilt, but with Wu Zuocheng's structure, once it reaches a certain level in the future, it will be a very arduous project to overthrow and start over. So I have very high expectations for you after you go there, and I hope
Don’t let the six million taels I spent go to waste.”
Tian Fang was dumbfounded at this time, completely stunned. At this time, he only felt that his mind was buzzing, and these three words "Wu Zuocheng!" were almost always echoing.
To be honest, Tian Fang likes the way of businessman very much. This is inevitable. If a person only treats something as a job and has no hobbies in it, then his achievements will be limited at best. Only love from the heart and heart.
Only when people devote themselves wholeheartedly to this work can they make extraordinary achievements.
Success requires hard work.
However, if you want to achieve better results than most people, or even everyone, talent, love, and hard work are all indispensable!
Tian Fang is actually unwilling to leave the Yedu business district. To be honest, he loves this kind of life. Watching the assets he controls increase bit by bit, and watching how he squeezes even a penny more profit from his opponents, Tian Fang
Heartfelt happiness will arise in your heart.
When he heard Lin Fengjin say that he wanted to go to the grassland by himself, he already felt disheartened. It seemed that his life had completely turned gray from now on, so dark that it was indescribable that even his breathing was suffocating.
If he didn't think about living for his family, wife and children, it would be best to just wipe his own neck with a knife.
But now after listening to Lin Fengjin's words, he also roughly understands how far this huge monster Wu Zuocheng has developed, which means that although this accident is extremely dangerous for him, and he seems to have to face the dilemma of family destruction and death, but
From another aspect, it is undoubtedly that I have met another noble person in life! The right way is to break and then stand, to survive in death. I have gone through such a huge change, but at this time, I can also face such a
An unprecedented opportunity!
At this time, Tian Fang had already told everything he knew as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Lin Fengjin asked a few more questions. After confirming that nothing was missing, he also knew that Tian Fang had been busy these days.
In the midst of panic and exhaustion, he asked him to reunite with his family and rest. However, before Tian Fang left, Lin Fengjin suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but said curiously:
"By the way, is the spirit bead your ancestor obtained from meeting an immortal still there?"
Tian Fang shook his head and said:
"This spirit bead can only grant three wishes. After I made two wishes, a crack appeared on it. After I made my third wish, it completely cracked and turned into ashes.
"
Lin Fengjin said "Oh", feeling quite sorry, but after thinking about it he said:
"Didn't you say that after you get this spirit bead, you should always place it on the shrine to warm it and worship it? What does the shrine for enshrining the spirit bead look like?"
Tian Fangfang said:
"Back to the young master, this is indeed something special. The shrine is rumored to be specially made by the immortal. The surrounding texture is white clouds with smiling faces, which is quite strange. And the statue enshrined should be the dragon god.
Humanoid, with scales and claws, but with a human face."
After hearing what Tian Fang said, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, but then he heard Tian Fang continue:
"The ancestors said that the gods have instructions. This spiritual bead must be worshiped every day and carried with you. If you travel far away for a long time and the shrine is inconvenient to carry, you can carry a consecrated holy image and stand in front of the holy image.
It is also allowed to worship, so Zhuo Jing takes this holy image with him."
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin already had a vague guess in his heart, and then asked Tian Fang to take the holy statue and take a look. After unfolding it, Lin Fengjin rolled his eyes and sighed,
When he heard the smiley face, he felt it was very familiar.
Because when he entered the Panwang Ganbo Cemetery, Lin Fengjin saw a large number of smiling cloud patterns on the tomb bricks as decoration inside the cemetery. This was almost a unique pattern that had never been recorded in other places.
Therefore, he felt that this "immortal" was probably related to the witch god of Nanzheng. At this time, when he unfolded the picture, he could almost confirm it with the head of a human and the body of a snake.
It can be inferred from this that because the Snake God is nourished by the physical body, the soul can last for a long time. Therefore, when dealing with the human world, they pay great attention to tributes and other physical objects, while the wizard gods in the south are in the world for a long time.
In the state of Yin Shen, the soul has no way to obtain nourishment from the physical body, so when dealing with the human world, it not only needs sacrifices, but more importantly, it needs the worship and wishes of believers to nourish itself.
However, both the Witch God and the Snake God are said to have great magical powers, and human desire is endless. Therefore, in front of them, it is difficult to restrain one's desire and not to trade with them.
He sinks deeper and deeper, and finally becomes his slave involuntarily.

At the same time, in a dark room, a figure knelt down, and this conversation occurred:
"Master, there was a rather important person who survived the Tian Wu incident."
A thin figure leaning on the soft couch above said slowly:
"Oh? Do you need to say it yourself for such a small matter?"
The voice of the slender figure sounded very deep and pleasant. At the same time, there was a message conveyed from this voice, as if there was nothing in the world that he could take seriously. He could only do so calmly.
Use the three words "人上人" to describe it.
The figure said in a very frightened voice:
"Returning to the master, based on the information we have so far, this person named Tian Fang was just a birth slave in the family at first, so his status in the family was very low and he was not taken seriously, so he ignored it, but he was ignored later.
We know that Tian Fang is a pawn hidden deep in the dark by Tian Wu, and the wealth of the Tian family is in the hands of this person."
"So, we have reason to believe that Tian Fang will infer something from some of Tian Wu's clues. At the same time, there is also evidence that some of our actions have indeed fallen into the hands of this Tian Fang. At least three people can prove this.
a little."
The lean and lean figure remained unchanged and simply said:
"Two points. First, how much does Tian Fang know? According to the worst possibility, second, if what you said before is true, then the most important thing you should do now is to take Tian Fang's head and hand it over.
Give it to me instead of standing here wasting my time and yours! You must give me satisfactory answers to these two questions. Okay, you can say it now."
After hearing these words, the figure kneeling on the ground trembled violently all over his body and said:
"Yes, yes! Then we can only talk about it from the beginning. Didn't the Lord give an order before? The time is almost ripe, so we want to win over and test some of the ministers. We chose Tian Wu as the target.
, sent people to contact him. Unexpectedly, Tian Wu was very cunning. At the beginning, he was conciliatory and perfunctory with us, so he was deceived by him for a long time. "
"However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Wei Qi vaguely heard some rumors, implying that Tian Wu actually had no intention of cooperating with us at all, but had contacted Zhongtang secretly, but it was probably because of lack of evidence.
The reason is that Wei Qi did not report the matter, but instead went to Tian Wu's house to meet with him at night, but Tian Wu, an old fox, saw through his intentions and was brutally murdered."
"According to the information we have obtained through questioning, after Tian Wu killed Lao Qi, he asked one of his confidants, Lao Hei, to disguise himself as Wei Qi, and then pretended that Wei Qi had left Tian's house.
It seems that we were also deceived by this false information at the time, and we could not find the whereabouts of Wei Qi using bone divination, so we did not suspect Tian Wu. Unexpectedly, Tian Wu actually removed Wei Qi's bones and cut his flesh, using
Come and feed the fierce dogs on his farm!"
The lean figure leaning back said calmly:
"Then how did you realize something was wrong?"
The figure kneeling on the ground said:
"After Tian Wu took refuge in Zhongtang, his power was naturally uprooted. At this time, we finally realized that Tian Wu had been perfunctory with us. Fortunately, in the previous secret contacts, we got more information than the official
After a lot, they began to secretly monitor their secret village, and then saw the opportunity to rush in and arrest people."
"Now that we have understood that Tian Wu is perfunctory with us, Wei Qi's death is probably inseparable from him. That Lao Hei's mouth was very tough. We have been using the forbidden method of burning to kill him alive.
Although he was stripped naked, nothing valuable was asked. However, from this, we can basically conclude that he had something to hide. Then we began to investigate what Zhuangzi had during the time when Wei Qi died.
Something unusual happened. Finally, after questioning, I got a piece of news. That was the strangest thing that happened in the village during the period when Wei Qi disappeared. That was the eight-nine people who were used to protect the village.
Two mastiff dogs died suddenly at the same time."
"I'm going to follow this clue and find out that the people who take care of the dogs have been called Liu Niu'er and Fu Houhou for a long time. Then the goal is very clear. After catching them, we can go directly to the police."
Xing, the bones of these two people are not that hard, and they confessed very simply, saying that on the night when Wei Qi disappeared, they dismembered a dead body here, and then fed it to the dogs!"
The lean figure who was leaning back clenched his fists and coughed slightly beside his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but did not.
The figure kneeling on the ground said:
"Black dog blood has always been effective in dispelling filth and evil. Therefore, if they use this method to destroy corpses and eliminate traces, there is really no way to use unconventional methods to trace it."
The lean and lean figure suddenly said:
"Then how did the eighty-nine mastiffs die suddenly?"
The figure kneeling on the ground said:
"We also investigated this matter and spent a lot of effort to get to the bottom of it. Because we can also use this method to destroy corpses and eliminate traces, we asked very carefully. According to Liu Niuer, feeding the dead
Dog hunting is definitely a technical job, just like killing a pig. You have to untie the bits and pieces first, separate the bones and flesh, boil the meat and offal, and then feed it directly to the dog. The hair is cut into pieces and washed into the river.
There was no warning either.”
"It's just that it's a little troublesome to deal with the remaining bones. Although dogs love to chew bones, there are ways to do it. You have to use an ax to break the bones into small pieces. Otherwise, the dogs can just poke the bones that can't be chewed.
It can be said that the situation of broken stomach and intestines often occurs, and it is basically hopeless. Although the two of them are stupid, they both know that they can get a living wage, and they all rely on these dogs. Something happened to these uncles.
, I am not far from being unemployed.”
"Therefore, this time, Liu Niu'er and Fu Houhou also followed the instructions of Uncle Qi who taught them this trick. They picked off the scraps and clean meat and cooked it half-cooked. Then they broke the bones into small pieces, and the fingers and toes.
Throw the broken pieces into a large pot and cook them for two hours. Before feeding the dogs, let them drink the soup and chew the bones, and then feed them the meat."
"The problem lies in the process of making soup. As you know, Master, Wei Qi is a member of the Outer Guards. The secret parts of his body usually contain medicines. Therefore, this mastiff drank
The bone broth was tricked later. The only two mastiffs that were not in trouble were found to be patrolling the yard outside. After the two dogs came back, the bone broth was already used by the eight or nine dogs.
The mastiffs were devoured and thus survived."
"According to the archives we retrieved, the medicine Wei Qi received placed in the secret place at that time was Kaiwang Dan. It must be used when seriously injured. It can stimulate the body's potential and explode with huge power. However, normal people
If you eat it, you will go crazy and your meridians will burst and die. According to the investigation, the death method of the seven or eight mastiff dogs is exactly the same as the death method of normal people after taking Kaiwang Dan."
The lean and lean figure suddenly said:
"I still haven't heard that this matter has anything to do with what you said about Tian Fang."
The figure kneeling on the ground said:
"Tian Fang is a very important person who hides in the dark. He holds financial power. Even Tian Wu's confidant Hei Ye wants to give him three points. Moreover, on the night when Wei Qi died, Tian Fang also went out without knowing where he was.
Moreover, he did this behind everyone's back. The maid who accompanied him to bed took Tian Fang's benefits and did not hesitate to lie to everyone! The most important thing is that with such intensity of our investigation, we did not find out what Tian Fang was doing that day.
What on earth did he do after he went out mysteriously at night? We only know that he found Liu Niuer three days later with great purpose - because this reckless man secretly hid a relic from Wei Qi - like this
He knows everything clearly, let alone anything else?"
The lean and lean figure suddenly said slowly:
"I can rest assured that you are doing things. The situations you have investigated should be without water, right?"
The figure kneeling on the ground immediately said:
"Of course not."
The lean and lean figure was silent for a while and said:
"So, can I understand it this way? The worst possibility right now is that everything Wei Qi knows is leaked, and Wei Qi also has a lot of things that can be used as ironclad evidence. Tian Fang has these things in his hands.
?”
The figure kneeling on the ground said:
"This is the worst possibility, Master. What we have learned so far is that all Wei Qi's relics should be on his body. At the same time, we are not sure what Wei Qi said before he died. However,
As far as Wei Qi's character is concerned, he probably won't do anything to disgrace the organization."
