Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters relentless pursuit
In order to create the aura of a water town in Zhuocheng, the Dagan court worked hard on the people and money of the Agarwood River in all dynasties. It was calculated to be several times more than the amount of money lost in the Shangzheng Yamen. But to be fair, this Agarwood River is indeed of great benefit to Zhuocheng.
Useful, it is worth the money. BiquΩ Δ
The boatman rowed the boat leisurely, and there were several small boats in twos and threes on the river.
If you are a sharp-eyed person, this boatman may seem like he is working hard, but every swing he makes is almost accurate. He is obviously a martial arts practitioner with strong skills.
There were three people sitting in the cabin, two men and one woman. They were Gu Tiexin and Xiao Lingxian in disguise. Sitting opposite them was Shi Xianqiao, the host of Banfenlou.
"Nephew Gu Xian, this is a wonderful move. Now King Mingwu is personally investigating whether Shangzheng Yamen has any shortcomings. Although the Dali Division and the Duwei are still watching you, there are more or less masters in the world already here.
As we wait and see, we should also suspect that this matter is just a cover for Shangzheng Yamen to hide the truth."
"I would also like to thank Master Shi for his secret help." Gu Tiexin bowed respectfully.
Shi Xianqiao shook her hand and said with a kind smile: "My family, don't be polite. Although the rumors are quieter now, the truth is not clear yet, so you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Master Shi. With Brother Crazy and Junior Sixth Brother here, it won't be so easy for the Dali Division's detectives to find you."
"Dali Si and Duwei are the imperial agents. They have a lot of power and movement, so it is easier to guard against them. However, it is not easy to guard against the Jianghu gangs in Zhuo City. These people use all kinds of methods to do things.
Now that you have to stay in Zhuocheng for the time being, you can't live up to the government's words. Breaking into the Shangzheng Yamen at night is also a serious crime."
"This junior understands that attracting the palace's attention this time will be both good and bad.
The good thing is that not all the people are targeting us, the Seven Bandits, but the bad thing is that there are more people looking for us now.
It is a fact that he broke into Shangzheng Yamen at night, no matter how much he said, no one would believe that it had nothing to do with the Seven Bandits."
"Having said that, I don't need to worry too much, nephew. This matter may not be turning around. If it is true that Shangzheng Yamen has enriched his own pockets, who will care about whether it was the Seven Bandits or someone else broke into the Yamen's treasury."
"There is one person who can prove it." Little Spirit Fairy interrupted and said crisply.
Shi Xianqiao nodded and said, "Yes, the man that Brother Diao rescued that night can indeed serve as proof.
I have carefully considered the person you are talking about, and he was able to capture the three Ling Fairies quietly, hide it from everyone's eyes and ears, and quietly take you to the west of the city. There are not many people in Zhuocheng with such means.
.
I originally thought it was a few prominent people in the court, but after checking one by one, it didn't look like it. Tsukazaifu seemed to have such an extra person out of thin air."
"Since he is not from Shangzheng Yamen, let's ignore him for now. Crazy brother went to Yuhua Pavilion in the east of the city to check for information and see if he can find the maid Xiaoyue that Miss Rouyue said."
"King Mingwu is in charge of Shangzheng Yamen. At this time, we need to add another fire to make the fire that night burn even stronger."
"Does Master Shi mean that King Mingwu intends to sell Zheng Yamen?"
"Haha, if we just arrest a few people, there is no need for the prince in the palace to come forward.
Just seeing how King Wu of Ming Dynasty ordered the soldiers of the forbidden army to surround Shangzheng Yamen, you can know where his heart is.
If a government official takes bribes, perverts the law, and deceives the emperor, I am afraid that no one will take care of him."
"It's a pity that there is no other evidence yet."
Shi Xianqiao smiled slyly and said: "Nephew Gu Xian underestimates Half-Penlou. How can Half-Penlou put all the burden on the seven of you.
We have been keeping an eye on Shangzheng Yamen for a long time, and if the time is right, we will naturally release the news to King Mingwu."
Gu Tiexin clapped her hands and praised: "Master Shi is indeed very thoughtful."
Shi Xianqiao smiled and said: "No, if you don't do something, I'm afraid you will scold me, an old man."
Gu Tiexin smiled awkwardly, coughed slightly and said, "Senior, are the fourth and fifth brothers okay?"
"Don't worry, dear nephew, Mr. Dali Si also has friends with whom he can talk. Nie Qianchou must give Banfenlou some face, so no one will make it difficult for them for the time being."
"That's good. Thank you very much, Mr. Shi."
"Today's meeting with my nephew, there is one more thing that you must be careful about."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"I believe that Zhuocheng Heqihui and Shetang have gathered more than a hundred martial arts masters to capture you.
I heard that there are also experts involved in the caravan, and once these people take action, they will be more difficult to deal with than Dali Si and Duwei."
Gu Tiexin's expression condensed, and the thought of Sang Nanse, the master of the caravan in Chaoyu Muyun Tower, appeared in his mind. If there were a few more such top masters in this group, it would be difficult to deal with them.
"Why are the Zhuocheng gangs pursuing the seven bandits so hard?"
"Hmph, what these people say is nice, the seven bandits are rampant and have messed up Zhuocheng's rules.
Heqihui is reluctant to part with the money in Shangzheng Yamen, and Shetang is making trouble, hoping to take the opportunity to please the court, but it is somewhat unexpected that the caravan will also be involved in this dispute."
Gu Tiexin exclaimed, the caravan would take action this time, probably because of Chaoyu Muyunlou.
Shi Xianqiao glanced at Gu Tiexin and saw that Gu Tiexin seemed to have some understanding. However, Gu Tiexin didn't say anything and didn't ask any more questions. She told Gu Tiexin to be careful in everything and avoid this storm. Naturally, the clouds will clear and the moon will shine.
.
In the south of the city, the main hall of Snake Hall.
There is a huge signboard with the message: The word "righteousness comes first", it is the gathering place of Yitang, the important place of Snake Hall.
Juyi Hall is very grand and square, but the buildings are not very high, so as not to attract the wind and arouse suspicion.
There are no elegant people in the Snake Hall, they are all rough and rough. There are no flowers and plants in the Juyi Hall. Everything is very valuable, but the decoration is nondescript and unavoidably a bit rustic, making it look like a wealthy squire and landlord.
But this is also where the Zhu family excels. When others see the situation in Juyi Hall, they may already look down upon these rough guys.
At this moment, the Juyi Hall was overcrowded, with martial arts masters in small groups, some sitting in the hall and some standing in the courtyard. It was bustling and lively.
There were three people sitting in the middle of the main hall. They were all figures who would make Zhuocheng tremble when they stomped their feet. Among them was the Zhu family, the master of the Snake Hall. On the left was the Seventh Marquis of Laoguan of the Heqihuige Pavilion. On the right, the caravan was relaxing and drinking tea.
The Lord Sang Nanse.
Zhu Jiazheng and Guan Qihou were whispering something. The chair under them was a little higher. The Zhu family was sitting on it with their legs and feet unable to reach the ground. It looked very funny. However, no one present dared to underestimate the Zhu family, let alone the Zhu family.
Dare to make fun of him.
There are many people in the world who laugh at the appearance of the Zhu family, and there are probably not many who are still alive now.
Of the four factions in Zhuocheng, only half of a building is missing. With so many experts gathered, it seems that they are determined to defeat the seven bandits. (To be continued.)
