"Are you really an old friend from the granary case?!"
Li Xunhuan still has a vivid memory of the grain draft of that year. It was the first case he and Yang Qingyuan collaborated on, and it was also the most thrilling case.
If millions of shi of food had not been recovered in time by chance, the civil uprising in Jizhou would have been unavoidable. Even if the imperial court could quell the civil uprising in the end, its prestige would have plummeted, further leading to instability in the northern border and increased pressure on border defenses.
The whole northern border will be out of control.
This group of people made a big move, and their purpose was very clear, which was to cause chaos in the Zhou Dynasty.
"It must be! Martial arts, very familiar!"
Ye Jianhan is still aloof and caressing words like gold. His talent is extraordinary and he can almost never forget the martial arts he has seen. He can learn six or seven points after watching it once and will never admit his mistakes.
"But it was expected. Traces of these old friends were found during Qingyuan's previous investigation, but there was no conclusive evidence!" Li Xunhuan shook the folding fan lightly in his hand, his eyes slightly sharp.
"Who?!" Ye Jianhan was also extremely interested in this group of people.
For no reason, it's simply because the two sides have enmity.
In the past few years, Ye Jianhan has been attacked by this group of people no less than five times, including many Yuanhua masters. He doesn't know where he came from such a big feud with them? Was it because he robbed someone's wife or killed his son?!
But the person in charge of dealing with them is obviously Yang Qingyuan! Why don't you cause trouble for him?!
Ye Jianhan has been aggrieved about this matter, and now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely get the situation back.
"According to Qingyuan, this group of people may be related to the Money Gang and the Qinglong Society, a mysterious organization in the world!"
The Canxue Sword in Ye Jianhan's hand trembled slightly. Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Now that the real owner has appeared, it will be much easier to handle!
"Jianhan, before that, you have to help me go to Peach Blossom Castle!"
"How's Brother Shangguan?! What's the situation outside!?"
In the past three days, Wu Ankang couldn't eat or sleep well.
As soon as he closed his eyes, there was a knife hanging above his head.
"Brother Wu, there is no need to panic. Although the entire city is under martial law, it is absolutely safe here. Li Xunhuan will never be able to find it here."
Listening to Shangguan Jin Hong's conclusive words, Wu Ankang felt a little more at ease.
"Dong dong dong! Open the door!"
Just when Wu Ankang was about to continue talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
This sound immediately frightened Wu Ankang so much that his legs went weak.
"Brother Shangguan, what should we do?"
Shangguan Jinhong also looked ugly. He had just spoken his words and was slapped in the face. It was really too much!
Shangguan Jinhong signaled Qian, who was pretending to be a couple, to help his disciples open the door, while he and Wu Ankang hid in the secret passage.
Qian, disguised as an ordinary couple, helped the disciple open the door.
"Captain Li, thank you for your hard work this late at night. Do you have any orders?!"
The couple from the Money Gang have been here for several years. Their external persona is that they are a couple, and they are also familiar with the policemen in the area.
"Old Liu, check the household registration!" As he said this, Capt. Li pushed the door open smoothly and checked around.
"Captain Li, Captor Li! What are you looking for!?" Old Liu stepped forward and pretended to stop Capt. Li.
"What?! Is there anything shameful in your family?!"
Li Captou looked slightly suspicious.
"No, Mr. Li, you know me. How could there be something shameful in my house? It's just that it's getting late and my wife and I have already gone to bed. This..."
After hearing Lao Liu's explanation, Capt. Li nodded, but still rushed into the room regardless of the obstruction.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lao Liu's wife, disheveled, leaning on the bed.
Li Captou didn't have the concept of seeing no evil, so he took a hard look at her. Although this old wife Liu looked ordinary, her body was really soft!
After having his eyes satisfied, he looked around again to make sure that no one was there. After catching his eye, Capt. Li took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and pulled out two of them.
"Old Liu, this is a portrait of an imperial prisoner. Have you seen it?!"
What was drawn on the two pieces of paper was Mr. and Mrs. Wu Ankang and their two children.
"Looks familiar?!"
"Um!?"
Old Liu's words made Li Captou overjoyed. Could it be that he was going to make a meritorious deed?
Of course, Wu Ankang and his wife, who were hiding in the secret passage, felt nervous and looked at Shangguan Jinhong eagerly.
This is your little brother! What’s going on?!
Shangguan Jinhong also looked embarrassed. He didn't know, weren't these two secret agents of the Money Gang?! What's going on?! Could they be traitors from other gangs?
After all, he was just a low-level disciple in the gang. Shangguan Jinhong couldn't even name these two, and of course he wasn't sure whether they would betray him or not.
But in front of outsiders, Shangguan Jinhong definitely didn't want to lose his face.
"Brother Wu, don't worry, these are the elites of the Money Gang, there is absolutely no way they will betray us!"
Although the words were beautifully said, Shangguan Jinhong was confused!
He suddenly felt that he was having a bad year recently! Anyone who came here to see Wu Ankang would be met with a police officer checking his ward.
Fortunately, Lao Liu just has a strong desire for personal performance and is not an undercover agent of other gangs.
"Think carefully, where have you seen him?"
"Oh?! I remembered it! Isn't this Mr. Wu from the county government?! During his birthday party before, I once went to his house to deliver birthday peach buns!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Captou was immediately discouraged.
Wu Ankang and Shangguan Jinhong, who were hiding in the secret room and eavesdropping, breathed a sigh of relief.
One didn't need to be caught, and the other successfully kept his status.
"Brother Wu, look at it! All of my disciples from the Money Gang are elites, and they keep these losers in a daze, hahaha!"
Shangguan Jinhong smiled a little awkwardly, because he himself had been nervous just now.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Ankang also laughed, but his laughter was uglier than crying.
He didn't want to experience such a scene, and his heart couldn't bear it.
"If you tell me, he is Wu Ankang, he thought he was going to make a meritorious deed. Niang Xipi, you are so happy for nothing."
"Wu Ankang is no longer a long-term historian, but a wanted criminal by the court. If you see him, come to the Yamen immediately and notify me!"
"Okay! Don't worry, as soon as I find this person named Wu, I will come to the Yamen and report to you immediately!"
Capt. Li nodded, then took the people away and went to the next house to inquire.
After confirming that Capt. Li had gone away, Old Liu and his wife released Shangguan Jinhong and others from the secret room.
"Gang leader, everyone has gone away! I acted pretty well just now!"
Shangguan Jinhong was slightly depressed when he saw his disciples asking for credit. Although they stimulated them, they did perform well!
"Not bad! You are indeed the elite of my money gang!"
As the leader of a gang, Shangguan Jinhong still praised Lao Liu.
Wu Ankang on the side had no intention of watching this, and immediately said anxiously,
"Brother Shangguan, now Li Xunhuan has started a city-wide manhunt, what should we do?!"
The appearance of the police officers just now made Wu Ankang feel that Qiantang County was no longer safe, and he was anxious to leave the city.
"But now, Li Xunhuan has guarded all the land and water gates in Qiantang County. It's not easy to get out!"
With Shangguan Jinhong's martial arts, it would not be difficult to get out, but it would be too difficult to take Wu Ankang's family of four out of the city.
Xiang Song on the side saw this and said,
"Gang leader, I have a way to avoid the city defense army and the imperial guard at the city gate, but this method will cause injustice to Mr. Wu and his family!"
When Wu Ankang heard that there was a way to get out of the city, he immediately said that as long as he could get out of the city, he would do anything.
Immediately, Xiang Song revealed the plan in full.
This plan is not only quick, but also very flavorful.
…
Early the next morning, the East Gate.
In the past few days, under Li Xunhuan's order, the gates of Qiantang County City have been strictly restricted for entry and exit.
Especially children between six and eight years old are subject to strict scrutiny.
Wu Ankang and his wife can disguise themselves, but the two children can easily reveal their flaws.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
A cart carried several large barrels and drove towards the city gate. Wherever it passed, people covered their noses with their sleeves. The smell was really overpowering.
There is no sewer system or automatic flushing system in Dazhou. Instead, wooden buckets are used to store feces, and they need to be emptied after they are full.
Therefore, there will be special personnel going from house to house to collect the feces from the toilets of each house.
Commonly known as pouring night fragrance.
Don't underestimate the person who sells night fragrance. Even though you have to deal with smelly things all day long, this is indeed a profitable business.
"Chao Ye Qian Zai" records a manure digger named Luo Hui. The original text is: "(Luo) Hui has been doing his job for a long time, and his family wealth is huge."
In ancient times, there were no industrial chemical fertilizers, and this night scent was the best fertilizer for farmers' fields.
The person who pours night fragrance collects it from door to door, and then sells it to farmers at a certain price. Although the money is not much, it does not require capital!
Not everyone can do it in Dazhou. It requires a business license from the government. Otherwise, it will be black night incense. If you are caught, you will be fined and forced to do so.
"Old Xutou! Why is the smell so strong today?"
The man who pours night incense is called Lao Xu. He has been pouring night incense in Qiantang for twenty years. The city defense troops guarding the city gate are also very familiar with it.
Old Xutou laughed when he heard this, "Chen Duizheng, you don't know. The smellier the night fragrance, the better the fertility, and the higher the price!"
His words were full of pride.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, Lao Xutou stopped the car naturally, and then said to Captain Chen on the side, "Captain Chen, check it out!"
"Check it out!"
If it were a young wife or a big girl, Captain Chen would still be willing to inspect it personally, but Captain Chen was not willing to touch this smelly thing, so he motioned to two soldiers from the city defense army to come forward.
The two soldiers of the city defense army symbolically looked to see if there was anyone hiding under the car, and then said to Old Xu.
"Go quickly! Go quickly!"
The Royal Forest Army who was assisting in the supervision was not surprised when they saw this scene.
Because this is the fourth day of card inspection.
On the first and second days, the Imperial Guard personally inspected the dung bucket, even suspecting that someone was hiding in it or that there was a hidden compartment in it. However, they found nothing except making themselves smell bad.
On the third day, the Royal Forest Army stopped conducting the inspection in person. After all, they were the emperor's own army. How could they keep dealing with such filthy things? So they handed over the inspection to the city defense army, but it was also a symbolic inspection.
.
By the fourth day, everyone has become accustomed to it. Is there anyone still willing to hide in this cesspool?
Putting themselves in their shoes, they would rather be caught than hide in this cesspool and be suffocated to death.
Moreover, even if adults can endure the stench, what about Wu Ankang’s two children?! Can they also endure it?!
So no one thought that there was an imperial prisoner hidden in the dung bucket.
After the inspection, the soldiers of the city defense army immediately urged Lao Xutou to leave. After all, no one wanted to smell this smell for a long time. The people waiting to leave the city at the city gate all covered their mouths and noses.
Lao Xutou pushed the Yexiang Cart slowly towards the outside of the city amidst the urging.
After a while, Hu Yunji, the supervisory censor, came to the east gate and asked, "How are you doing? Are there any suspicious people recently!?"
The leader of the Imperial Forest Army immediately stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to Mr. Hu, everything is normal and no suspicious person has been found."
"We must be more vigilant, especially those with couples with children, and they must be strictly investigated!"
"promise!"
--------
Lao Xu pushed Tuberose close to a village and was planning to take a rest under a tree.
Suddenly, from above the treetops, a long whip jumped out like a poisonous snake and instantly strangled Old Xu's neck.
The man who used the whip moved his true energy slightly and broke the neck bone of Lao Xu's head.
The person who came was Ximen Rou, the "Magic Whip" of the Money Gang.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This person is also a figure on Bai Xiaosheng's Jiangnan weapon list. He was invited by Shangguan Jinhong to join the Money Gang, and his weapon snake whip ranks among the Jiangnan weapon list.
Fourteenth, he is also a rare master in the Yuanhua Realm.
Immediately, Ximen Rou stepped forward and patted the night incense barrel five times, three long and two short.
Immediately, two men covered in yellow slurry emerged from the dung bucket, holding two unconscious children.
Looking at this scene, Ximen Rou felt that his vision was strongly impacted.
Ximen Rou is also a famous figure in Jiangnan martial arts, and he can be considered well-informed, but this is the first time he has seen such an impactful picture.
Fortunately, he didn't have any breakfast this morning, otherwise he might not be able to stop the churning in his stomach at this moment.
Wu Ankang and his wife are indeed ruthless people!
Wu Ankang, the former Qiantang mayor, said that although the feces were really smelly, they could not stop him from pursuing life and the fragrance of freedom.
No one in his position would know what he felt in his heart.
As long as he can escape, let alone hide in a dung bucket, even if he eats it directly...
You have to hesitate for a while.
Although the stench on Wu Ankang's body was unpleasant, Ximen Rou still endured the smell and stepped forward to speak.
"Master Wu, these are the clothes prepared for you. Why don't you two go to the river to wash them briefly?"
Although Wu Ankang was in a hurry to run away, his wife really couldn't bear the smell, so she dragged Wu Ankang and took their two children to the river nearby to clean up.
Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them had hurriedly washed themselves and put on new clothes.
As for the two children, they are still in a coma.
The smell in the dung bucket can be tolerated by adults, but it is absolutely impossible for children to bear it, so Wu Ankang asked Shangguan Jin Hong for some poison, which temporarily stunned the two children, and then they successfully hid in the dung bucket and left the city.
.
"Master Wu, let's leave quickly! The merchant ship prepared by the gang leader is already waiting at the port!"
Wu Ankang bowed his hands towards Ximen Rou, "Then there will be Protector Lao Ximen!"
Under the protection of Ximen Rou, a family of four rushed towards Qiantang Harbor.
