After being full of wine and food, Zhao Mao left the scene first, and under the leadership of the old housekeeper of Tangfu, he came to a gorgeous room, where the tables and chairs were perfectly matched, and the tea-like patterns were engraved on the tables and chairs.

A table, a chair, a few stools, are uniquely furnished, and the indoor stove is burning with extremely precious spices.

And Hua Kui rested in the room next to him.

After Zhao Mao washed up, he didn't plan to sleep, and was ready to practice the newly acquired three exercises.

"Whew"

The room was dark, and only the cold moonlight poured in through the cracks in the window, and it was quiet.

Human perception seems to have become more sensitive in this darkness.

Suddenly, several sneaky black shadows appeared on the window, and a bamboo pipe reached through the window, and puffs of white smoke came out.

Zhao Mao's eyes widened, he didn't expect Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin to dare to risk the sky.

He immediately held his breath and was about to kill the offender.

"Bang bang bang. ”

Seeing that the black shadows seemed to fall one by one, Hua Kui opened the door, stood outside the door and said clearly: "Your Highness, these three thieves have been knocked out by me, what should I do." ”

Zhao Mao got up and went to open the window to let the air circulate.

Standing in front of the window, he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to have such skills." No matter where you come from, you just need to remember that you will always be the king's man.

Drag them into the room, and the king wants to see who has so much courage. ”

For some reason, Hua Kui's heart swelled with inexplicable shyness and joy, and she said softly: "Hua Kui knows." ”

Under the dim light, the faces of the three men in black were reflected. Two middle-aged men in their forties, as well as the old housekeeper of Tang Mansion.

God help me.

"Go, call Tang Fu Yin over. ”

After a while, the disheveled Tang Jian followed Hua Kui into the room.

At a glance, he recognized that the three black-clothed people lying on the ground who did not know their life and death were the old housekeeper and his two sons in his house.

Tang Jian's back was cold, cold sweat flowed, and he knelt directly on the ground and explained: "His Royal Highness King Kang, this is definitely not instructed by the lower officials, and the lower officials will not dare to disadvantage His Royal Highness even if they have the courage to do so." ”

Zhao Mao said kindly: "Of course this king believes in Tang Fu Yin's personality, and this matter must be made by these three people." ”

Tang Jian's face was overjoyed, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Yes, Your Highness is really wise and powerful, and he is like a god in judging cases." ”

"But after all, this king was frightened in Tang Mansion, and Tang Mansion Yin Ke wants to compensate this king well. Zhao Mao quipped.

Tang Jian thought that he was asking for money, and said with a sneer: "That's natural, and the lower official will give His Highness two hundred pieces of silver for this month." ”

Zhao Mao sneered: "Naturally, but this matter is still very important, and this king still has to play His Majesty truthfully." ”

Tang Jian thought to himself that according to His Majesty's attention to King Kang, if His Majesty knew about this matter, whether he was involved or not, he was afraid that he would be implicated.

Said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has every opportunity, Your Highness should not let him worry, and the official will pay 2,400 yuan a year." ”

Zhao Mao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "It is true that Your Majesty should not be alarmed because of this little thing."

The king reported to the Criminal Department and asked him to come to Tangfu to check if there were any of these people's comrades. ”

Tang Jian was not a clean official, and he knew that the Criminal Investigation Department also had the duties of a supervision official.

Even if he is usually targeted, he can get along with his connections in the court.

But what King Kang reported couldn't be suppressed by his own ability.

Looking at King Kang's posture, it is obvious that the price he gave is not enough.

Immediately raised three fingers and said, "Thirty thousand, this matter will be handed over to the lower officials, and I promise to find out to King Kang." ”

Zhao Mao leaned down suddenly, no more than a foot away from Tang Jian. looked at him with a solemn look in his eyes and said, "It seems that Tang Fu Yin has made a lot of money over the years."

100,000 times.

If you don't agree, it will be written in the memo tomorrow.

The king was assassinated in the Yin Mansion of Yingtianfu and escaped by luck, and the Yin of Tangfu privately gave 100,000 pieces of silver to seal the mouth of the king.

The king made another cut on his arm.

Master Tang: Can you stand up to scrutiny? ”

Tang Jian was shocked by Zhao Mao's lion opening and sat on the ground, he has been walking on thin ice as an official, and he has been greedy for ink for so many years, and the total is less than 60,000.

I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

But Zhao Mao didn't care so much, threw the paper and pen on the table in front of Tang Jian, and said indifferently: "I said, you write." ”

Tang Jian had no choice but to put pen to paper.

I only heard Zhao Mao continue to read: "Your Majesty, the minister has been appointed as the Yin of Yingtianfu, looting tens of millions of treasures, and more than 20,000 private soldiers have died. ”

When Tang Jian heard this, he immediately kowtowed, and begged for mercy: "Your Highness let go of the lower officials, even if the lower officials smash the pot and sell iron, they will make up enough 100,000 yuan for His Highness, no, 200,000 yuan of silver."

Xiaguan... I don't dare to write it. ”

After kowtowing for a while, he saw that Zhao Mao was unmoved.

Tang Jianxin was ruthless, took the pen and quickly wrote the content on the paper, and took the initiative to bite his finger and draw it.

Presented the paper in front of Zhao Mao, and said in a trembling voice: "After the next official, only His Royal Highness will look forward to the horse, and swear to follow him." ”

Zhao Maoxin sighed: He is a smart person.

patted Tang Jian's shoulder, pointed to the three men in black and said, "They will be handed over to you." This king is tired, so stand down. ”

Tang Jian respectfully retreated, summoned a few family members, and dragged the three out.

There was an inaudible scream from the depths of the backyard of Tangfu, and the domesticated fierce dogs in the courtyard were extremely excited, and their mouths kept snorting.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Mao left Yingtianfu with Tang Jian's enthusiasm.

According to Tang Jian's private confession, the three of them just wanted to stun themselves, and then steal the immortal scriptures, wanting to cultivate into immortals.

There was a large wooden box in the carriage, and inside it were the official Jiaozi of ten denominations each, a full ten thousand. You must know that the total amount of official friends in circulation in the entire Great Song Dynasty is less than two million yuan.

Zhao Mao even thought about blackmailing a sum of money every time he passed through a place, but he quickly dispelled this idea.

In case any official leaks the matter after he leaves, other officials who have suffered the same thing will probably sign a joint letter together.

Then you will never recover.

However, 100,000 guan is only a drop in the bucket, you must know that the annual expenditure of the army alone in the Great Song Dynasty is as high as 40 or 50 million yuan.

Although there are many officials in the middle who want to eat and take cards, it can also be seen that they need too much money to raise soldiers. And Zhao Ji just stuck in Zhao Mao's throat, making it impossible to develop at all.

What a draw from the bottom of the kettle.

Two days later, the carriage drove to the junction of Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road, which was only a day's journey from Jiangning Mansion.

On a sunny day in the south, a thin cloud flew in the sky, and a rich fragrance came from the air. The roadside on both sides of the official road is full of wild flowers, and the path of yellow rice is open to the end of the world.

Hua Aoi kept pulling the curtains and staring intently at the wildflowers everywhere.

Zhao Mao, who closed his eyes and exercised, said lightly: "They may not dare to make a move, don't pay attention to it, they can't hide from what they should come." ”

A dark cloud drifted in, like cotton wool soaked in ink, covering the intense sun.

The wind howled, and the sea of flowers set off waves and exposed the uninvited guests lurking inside.

"Who!"

With a loud shout from the leader of the guards, all the guards drew their swords and guarded the carriage.

"It's exposed, go up together, and seize the peerless martial arts. ”

I saw more than 20 masked people shaking off the wild flowers covering his body, and rushing to the carriage with various weapons in hand.

As soon as the two sides fought, the accompanying guards had no power to resist, and three of them fell in an instant.

These guards are all elites who protect the imperial city, but the enemy is indeed a group of martial arts people who are proficient in martial arts.

The leader of the guards immediately worked hard, and made an iron-tipped red tassel spear, dancing like a tiger and a tiger, and a poke was a bloody hole.

The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, many martial arts people can't get close, these people are at least third-rate level, and the first few are second-rate masters.

Since the battle of Yanmen Pass, the Central Plains martial arts have withered, and the second-rate is basically a top master.

Seeing that the leader of the guards was so good, these people simply split up, leaving only five second-rate masters to fight with him.

The rest of the people all attacked the carriage, preparing to kill Zhao Mao and seize the Immortal Sutra.

These guards will not leave after following Zhao Mao to take office, and will always guard his safety. In other words, from the day he set off, he was Zhao Mao's person.

I saw a white shadow float out of the carriage and rush into the crowd.

The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, although Hua Kui is also a third-rate martial artist, but in the same realm, the speed is superb.

Before the enemy could react, the equipment on their bodies was attacked several times.

It's just that Hua Sunflower has more speed than enough strength, and it can't kill with one hit.

The person who was beaten only felt unbearable pain on his body, and he could continue to fight after rubbing it twice.

In this regard, Hua Sunflower has no choice but to try to contain the opponent.

But after all, there is only one person, and his energy is limited, so it is inevitable that two people will be missed.

I saw two masked men touch the other side of the carriage, jump forward, and jump in through the carriage window.
