Chapter 27 Mei Xiaohan's rivers and lakes
Yu Chuping was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and he had a certain amount of connections in the rivers and lakes, and he had a certain amount of influence.
People in the rivers and lakes have never taken the royal family and nobles seriously, and they pay attention to the word righteousness in their actions. The word righteousness is the head, and the righteousness is thin and cloudy.
In the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, all people are the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Mei Xiaohan was able to have prestige among the people in the rivers and lakes, which he himself did not expect, but there are too many disputes in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to tell right and wrong.
People who walk the rivers and lakes, although they are free and unfettered, also need to consider vegetables, rice, oil and salt, and also need to have a life to enter.
As a result, there are businessmen like Yu Chuping, who are the only ones who have enough money to support the people in the rivers and lakes, and of course they are also people in the rivers and lakes.
Yu Chuping's request is in line with his identity, a chivalrous man who is a businessman, and there is nothing unreasonable about wanting to do a little business.
Mei Xiaohan did not give Yu Chuping a quick reply, but she did not directly refuse Yu Chuping, which has two very important reasons:
First: The people in the rivers and lakes are not easy to offend, they are in the shadows, and there are many people, many factions, and their identities are secret.
Second: If you want to govern one side well, you can't solve all the problems by relying on the only power in your hands, and you need to rely on external forces at this time. And Jianghu people are a good choice.
With the above two reasons, Mei Xiaohan had to think about how to have a good relationship with Yu Chuping, which would have a great impact on his future administration of Splendid City.
"Since Yu Gongzi wants to do business in the three counties under my rule, can he talk to me openly?"
Yu Chuping said: "Mei Gongzi, there is something in the words!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "It's not right for Brother Yu to talk like this, I'm a very practical person, since I want to cooperate, of course I have to show a clear attitude." ”
Yu Chuping said: "I really don't understand what Mei Gongzi means, and I hope to teach me!" ”
"People in the rivers and lakes have always liked to live an unrestrained life, and they never bow their heads to the powerful, why did Brother Yu put down his posture and come to me?"
"As I said, you're not different from them, and that's why I'm willing to work with you!"
Mei Xiaohan said: "Since this is the case, then I will dare to ask!" ”
Yu Chuping said: "But it doesn't hurt to ask!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I want to know what kind of sect you are, and what is your true identity?" ”
Yu Chuping was born in Yunwu Villa, ranking sixth in the entire Yunwu Villa, although he has been away from the rivers and lakes for many years, he still has contacts with friends on the rivers and lakes.
"Don't hide it from Mei Gongzi, although I have withdrawn from Yunwu Mountain Villa, I still belong to Yunwu Mountain, so I am not completely away from the rivers and lakes!"
"Cloud Villa?" Mei Xiaohan wondered, this was the first time he had heard the name Cloud Mountain Villa.
"Yes, it's Cloud Mountains!"
Yunwu Villa is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, and its business scope is also very wide, with industries covering all walks of life.
The hidden dragon and crouching tiger of Cloud Mountain Villa, the name of this owner is "Zhang Song", one of the members of the lords of the Five Alliances, and the deputy lord of the lords of the five alliances.
The position of the Five Alliances has always been the focus of contention among various factions in the rivers and lakes. Hundreds of sects in the rivers and lakes will hold a competition for the annual battle of the Five Alliances, and the place where the competition is located is not fixed.
Cloud Mountain Villa has been in the top five of the "Easy List" for many years, and has never fallen out of the top five in the past 30 years.
The owner of Yunwu Mountain Villa, "Zhang Song", is even more unique in the forest with a unique swordsmanship.
The organizational structure of the entire Cloud Mist Villa is even more intertwined and very complex, and there are countless heroes who work hard for the Cloud Resort. Although "Zhang Song" is just a village owner, he is a low-ranking person, with great power in his hands, and a wide range of contacts, and even many members of the imperial court have a very mysterious connection with him.
Mei Xiaohan said: "Cloud Mountain Villa looks extraordinary!" ”
"Not bad! The reputation of Cloud Mountain Villa in the rivers and lakes is indeed very great, this is true! ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I have already written down what Brother Yu said, but I still need to consider this matter." ”
Yu Chuping said: "This is natural, but... When will Mei Gongzi give me an answer? ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Ten days later, I will give you an answer!" ”
Mei Xiaohan also happened to want to take advantage of this time to walk around, and after meeting Yu Chuping, Mei
Xiao Han suddenly decided to go to the "rivers and lakes" for a walk.
The so-called rivers and lakes are only spread in the streets, and ordinary people do not know much about the rivers and lakes, and even if they do, most of them are the wild stories they hear after tea and dinner.
But few people have heard of the real rivers and lakes.
Yu Chuping heard Mei Xiaohan say this, so he hugged his fists and said, "Okay, a word is a certainty!" Ten days later, I'll come back to Mei Gongzi! ”
"It's a deal!"
Between the words, Yu Chuping was gone.
After bidding farewell to Chu Ping, Mei Xiaohan brought two entourages and sent an official letter to the city lord Yang Yuan, saying that he was going to various places to inspect the people's conditions, hoping that he would give it convenience.
Although the three counties of Kaiping, Yongfeng and Yuancheng have been assigned to Mei Xiaohan's account, the county leaders of these three counties have still not been replaced, and they are still members of the original team.
A rash substitution is bound to cause a big storm, so this matter needs to be done carefully.
Mei Xiaohan brought these two entourages, one named Zhang Nan and the other named Zhang Bei, and the two of them were brothers.
The two brothers, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, practiced martial arts at an early age, and they were quite accomplished, but they have never had the opportunity to make contributions, and they can be said to have no way to serve the country.
After Mei Xiaohan was transferred to Splendid City, he recruited talents from all over the world, and the two brothers Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan came to Mei Xiaohan and made an oath to follow Master Mei forever until death.
An important reason why Mei Xiaohan brought Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei this time is that these two people also have a special ability, which is "psychic".
Although Mei Xiaohan doesn't believe much in the theory of "psychic", some things are like this, those who believe in it have it, and those who don't believe in it don't.
With Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei escorting, general security issues are naturally not a problem. With the company of Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei along the way, Mei Xiaohan was also a lot more relieved.
When the three of them traveled all the way to the territory of Wencheng Town, Yongfeng County, it was already past noon, and the three of them were hungry.
Mei Xiaohan, who was hungry and thirsty, planned to make some stops in Wencheng Town, after all, she just came out and walked casually, but there was no clear destination.
Wencheng Town, which is a large population town with a population of more than 30,000, has relatively prosperous commerce, so it has also attracted a lot of merchants.
"Huaji Inn"
It is both an inn and a restaurant. There's no better place to rest!
Mei Xiaohan said: "Traveling in a hurry all the way, we can't take a break, let's settle down here first!" ”
Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei's faces were happy, and said: "Master Mei, our brothers listen to you, so let's take a break." ”
The three of them entered the inn, Mei Xiaohan was dressed in a cloth shirt and a light shirt, and her hair was coiled around her temples and her long hair hung down. The two brothers, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, each carried a long sword in their hands, and followed one after the other.
Zhang Beinan Zhang Bei was stopped by the shopkeeper as soon as he entered the inn, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan wanted to draw his sword to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Mei Xiaohan.
"Zhang Nan Zhang Bei, don't be impulsive!"
The shopkeeper said: "A few guest officers, there is a misunderstanding, there have been several homicides here, so the government requires attention to strengthen vigilance, for the sake of safety, so it is not allowed to enter the inn with sharp weapons, and I hope the guest officers can understand more!" ”
Mei Xiaohan chuckled in her heart and said: I don't know what the murder case that the shopkeeper said is. ”
Mei Xiaohan ordered Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei to temporarily hand over the sword to the shopkeeper for safekeeping, and said, "I wonder if the shopkeeper can tell me about those murders in detail?" ”
Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei had no choice but to take off their swords and said, "I want to listen... Mei Gongzi commanded! ”
Mei Xiaohan had already told Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei before, and he should not be called an adult outside, so as not to reveal his identity.
The shopkeeper said: "It's not that this matter can't be said, it's just that it's too appalling, and the impact of saying it is not good!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Could it be that there is something inconvenient? ”
The shopkeeper said: "Hey! I don't know how to say it! ”
Mei Xiaohan handed the shopkeeper a silver ingot and said, "Tell me everything you know!" ”
After accepting the silver, the shopkeeper's complexion also changed a lot, and he said, "This matter is not so complicated!" ”
In the next few days, several people died on the street, the killer's methods are very clever, and the martial arts are also very high, and he is by no means an ordinary killer.
The people who were killed, after an autopsy, came to the conclusion that they were all masters of different sects.
The killing of people in the rivers and lakes is unusual in the headquarters, after all, the affairs on the rivers and lakes are complicated, and it is difficult to explain clearly. The killing of masters, especially the top masters, and the occurrence of such situations one after another, has to cause panic.
"The master was killed?"
"Could it be revenge?"
Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei also shook their heads again and again, indicating that they were very confused.
Mei Xiaohan said: "Do you know the identities of these top masters who were killed?" ”
Shopkeeper said: "These top masters who were killed are from different sects, and they are all at the level of their heads!" ”
Mei Xiaohan gasped and said, "There is such a thing? ”
The shopkeeper said: "Childe doesn't believe it? ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "No... I just think it's weird! ”
The head was killed one after another, and the methods used by the killer were very vicious, all of which were killed with one move.
To be exact, it is a move that hits the vital point, "seeing blood and sealing the throat".
The deceased's throat was hit with a knife, which became the most critical clue in the case.
The shopkeeper shook his head again and again, and said: "Because this incident has made people panic, people don't dare to go out at will, and the inn's business has been a lot colder!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "There is a second child in the labor shop!" ”
After Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei heard this, after the two looked at each other, they shook their heads, and their faces changed greatly.
