From the note sent by Mao Wenlong from Fucheng, he already sensed that this smoke disaster was far more serious than he imagined. He didn't expect that in less than a year, Daming had been invaded to this extent by the smoke of the people.

It is unforgivable to destroy the people, and those who try to destroy the Ming Dynasty should be put to death. Only death can make these insatiable creatures put away their evil hearts.

A small warship quietly docked at the largest and most prosperous port in Guangzhou, Mao Wenlong stood on the bow of the ship in ordinary white clothes, looking at the bustling port.

"I didn't expect it to become so bustling in less than a year!" Mao Wenlong let out a sigh!

The secret guard of Fucheng nodded and led behind Mao Wenlong at this moment, and after he heard this, he immediately surrendered his hand and replied: "Chief soldier, the development of this Fucheng is indeed advancing rapidly. Especially after the imperial court completely lifted the sea ban, commerce and trade in various places have been very active. The only bad thing is that it has begun to flourish in the past two years, and has even spread to the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

The leader of the dark guard looked at Mao Wenlong cautiously, for fear that his words would cause him to be dissatisfied. After all, he even talked about the court just now, no matter what kind of identity he is, he shouldn't talk about the bad things of the court.

Mao Wenlong was not as angry as the leader of the dark guard imagined, but was very calm, and seemed to not care at all. After a short silence, Mao Wenlong muttered to himself: "It seems that this kid Jingwen must have been slacking off recently, but Mr. Hong shouldn't let such a thing happen?" ”

The leader of the dark guard hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said, "Chief soldier, Mr. Hong will arrive in two days." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Very good, now we should go to meet the so-called Yi Dashang first." ”

The leader of the dark guard hurriedly said yes, then took two steps and began to lead Mao Wenlong in front.

From the wharf to Fucheng, the middle has been completely covered with cement road, wide and flat road, busy with carriages and porters to transport goods. If you hadn't known about the situation of Fucheng earlier, you would have thought that this was heaven when you saw such a prosperous place.

However, behind the prosperity, there are hidden dangers. Mao Wenlong was eager to cut off this hidden danger, so he did not hesitate to mobilize a large army, and even dispatched a secret guard battalion, vowing to control the spread of smoke in the Ming Dynasty in the shortest possible time.

It's a pity that Mao Wenlong knows that this matter is not as simple as he imagined. cut off those Yi merchants and cut off the way for them to send big cigarettes into the territory of Daming. As long as there are still people in the Ming Dynasty who need big smoke, no matter how the imperial court controls it, there will still be outlaws who want money and don't want to die, greedy for great benefits, so they take risks.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong has always felt that if you want to completely get rid of the big smoke, you can only really start from the source. Only by stopping the outflow of smoke at the source can we truly control the spread of smoke in Daming.

Zuixian Building, a four-storey building, is all wooden structure. Located on the most prosperous central street in Fucheng, the magnificent façade and the extremely extensive courtyard all prove that this drunken immortal building must be able to support it by ordinary people.

Sitting in the carriage, you can see the four-storey Drunken Immortal Tower from a distance, Mao Wenlong frowned and asked the leader of the secret guard beside him: "Who is behind this Drunken Immortal Tower?" ”

"Returning to the general army, this drunken immortal building is a local clan, and the Ye family is running it." The leader of the Dark Guard replied without thinking.

"The Ye family, what is the origin of how you can open such a restaurant in this city?" Mao Wenlong was curious.

"The Ye family has been a famous family in Beijing since the previous dynasty, and later the Fucheng side was affected by the war, during the Great Depression. Mr. Hong once encouraged the official family to come to the city, and this is the opportunity for them to start developing. Since then, the Ye family has also begun to take root here in Fucheng, and it has been getting bigger and bigger. The leader of the dark guard briefly introduced Mao Wenlong.

Hearing this, he already had a little understanding, and at this time, the carriage had slowly stopped outside the door of the Drunken Immortal Building. The leader of the dark guard took the lead in getting out of the carriage and was about to lead Mao Wenlong, but unexpectedly Mao Wenlong said coldly: "Are all the people inside in ambush?" ”

"Chief soldier, everything is under control, please rest assured." The leader of the Dark Guard is confident.

In fact, in his opinion, Mao Wenlong is completely making a fuss this time. It's just two people, and there is no need to send secret guards to ambush them. But Mao Wenlong ordered to do so, and the leader of the secret guard could only do it, and he didn't dare to disobey at all.

There were already people at the gate to greet him, and a fat man in brocade greeted him respectfully with a smile on his face.

"Total ......"

"Shut up." The leader of the Dark Guard immediately drank coldly.

The fat man is the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and he is also a big man in the Ye family, and he has a lot of status in the Ye family. This time, when he heard that Mao Wenlong was coming, he was ready for a grand welcome, but he had already eaten the closed door before he could say hello.

Mao Wenlong gave a look and signaled the leader of the dark guard not to shout loudly, and then smiled at the fat man with a smile: "Don't blame the shopkeeper, let's talk about it inside." ”

The fat man is the shopkeeper, and he is extremely sophisticated and shrewd, and he quickly understood the meaning of Mao Wenlong's words. When he didn't say more, he led Mao Wenlong in front and went up the stairs directly.

I walked all the way to the third floor, stopped in the room of Tianzi No. 2, and the fat shopkeeper pushed open the door, and inside was a rather elegant room.

After a few people sat down, the fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "Why doesn't the chief soldier go to the upper room to rest, but he wants to wait in this room?" ”

There was originally a better room for Mao Wenlong to rest, but the secret guards who came over earlier settled on this room after searching for it. The shrewd shopkeeper had realized that something was wrong, and seeing that Mao Wenlong was easy to speak, he began to take the opportunity to test it.

Mao Wenlong glanced at the shopkeeper and chuckled: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to ask more, and don't interfere in the next things." ”

The fat shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then got up without saying a word and left.

The leader of the dark guard hurriedly walked in from outside the door at this moment, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, those two Yi people are already living next door. My subordinates have already inquired about it, and they will stay overnight tonight. ”

Mao Wenlong closed his eyes and didn't speak, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Don't do it yet, we'll stay with them for one night tonight, and it's not too late to do it until we find out the black hand behind them." ”

The leader of the Dark Guard nodded, and then retreated!

The wine and food were soon delivered one after another, and Mao Wenlong enjoyed the exquisite meal with peace of mind, waiting for the time to come.
