Chapter 139, a rainy day is just killing

Weapons have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court, and ordinary craftsmen never dare to easily make weapons, but there are countless weapons on the rivers and lakes, and the reason for this is naturally not that weapons appear out of thin air, but because there are industries that cast weapons, and there are also merchants who buy and sell weapons. The imperial court knows very well that it is absolutely impossible to completely ban weapons, even if the imperial court explicitly prohibits them, but many people for the sake of huge interests will definitely choose to take risks because they are coaxed to go up high-priced weapons, which is not the original intention of the imperial court.

Therefore, after formulating the laws and regulations for buying and selling martial arts, the current Shengming Monarch has asked the court craftsmen to cast weapons and sell them at a very fair price to many major sects on the rivers and lakes, and then many sects have heard about various stores and channels and then spread them on the rivers and lakes.

But that's not the only channel! The great benefits of weapon casting can almost be equated with the trade of salt, and some powerful people will naturally meddle! For example, many famous nobles and people from the four major lords also secretly forged weapons and eventually sold them for profit. Of course, these people don't dare to be too blatant, although they sell weapons, they know how to advance and retreat, so the court chooses to turn a blind eye, otherwise once their behavior hurts the meridians of the court, where can there be a place for them in this Jianghu court?

The arms trade is becoming more and more serious, if not rampant. There are many families that manufacture weapons that are quite famous in the rivers and lakes and the imperial court. The most famous of these is the Na Dong Ming faction.

The Dongming sect was originally a sect on an island that had nothing to do with the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, and although it was considered famous and unrivaled in the Ryukyus, it was not a famous sect in the Central Plains. But no one in the rivers and lakes today knows about the Dongming faction, and the reason for this is naturally because of weapons.

The main industry of the Dongming faction is to forge weapons. The weapon casting is exquisite and famous in the rivers and lakes, but because the Dongming faction is separated from the Central Plains by the river, it needs to be transported by boat, so the weapons cast by the Dongming faction are expensive in the rivers and lakes, and for many people in the rivers and lakes, it can be said that it is a very glorious thing to get a weapon cast by the Dongming faction.

The imperial court did not prevent the Dongming faction from trading weapons, but it stipulated that the transaction was only allowed twice a year, and the time could be set by the Dongming faction itself.

Many people were very puzzled by this move of the imperial court, but after three or four officials were inexplicably dismissed or demoted because they asked about this matter, no one in the imperial court dared to ask about this matter, so it also created the transcendent status of the Dongming faction above the court of the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, the appearance of the Dongming means that the Dongming faction has begun to trade and buy weapons, and there are definitely many forces that are very interested in it. The relationship between the Yin Kui faction and the Dongming faction is complicated, which is why Wanwan frowned slightly when she learned from Bai Qing'er that Princess Dongming was about to come to the Central Plains.

"Mrs. Dongming didn't come to the Central Plains this time?" Wanwan glanced at her junior sister Bai Qing'er and asked.

Bai Qing'er shook her head and said, "So far, we haven't heard of Mrs. Dongming, maybe Mrs. Dongming is on top of Dongming, maybe not anymore." Senior sister, you also know that Mrs. Dongming has the character and wisdom of a master, and it is difficult for ordinary people to guess thoroughly? ”

"The appearance of the Dongming will inevitably attract the attention of all forces in the rivers and lakes, the court, the four major valves and other forces, and it will inevitably be a super event that is not inferior to today's Luoyang! But let's not talk about this matter for the time being, now that the matter in Luoyang has entered the final critical stage, there is absolutely no room for error! ”

Bai Qing'er nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But senior sister, you still have to go and see that little princess of Dongming, this little princess of Dongming has come to Luoyang City in order to see Shi Qingxuan's Xiaoyin!" ”

"Don't pay attention to her for the time being, first hurry up and do what the master explained to us is the top priority we need to face now, the current Luoyang City is like a huge sea, the surface is calm and waveless, but the internal dark tide is turbulent, and carelessness will lead to a mistake and a loss, a wrong step, and the situation of mountains and rivers collapsing." Wanwan waved her hand, and said in a heavy tone that did not match her usual tone.

"Senior sister, I didn't distinguish the relationship between primary and secondary, now that we are in Luoyang City, we are overwhelmed, we really shouldn't intervene in the master's private affairs at this time, if we can't grasp the opportunity at this time, I'm afraid the future situation will be due to today's negligence, and we will lose everything!" Wanwan smiled slightly, she had already seen a trace of obedience in Bai Qing'er's soft eyes, and she was less unruly and competitive with each other.

Seeing that Bai Qing'er was so well-behaved, Wanwan didn't mind giving Bai Qing'er another good fruit to eat, and said: "Now that the heirs of the Yin Kwai Sect are only me and you, as for who can take over the seat of the sect leader of the Yin Kwai Sect, it can only depend on our own ability!" The Demon Gate never pays attention to human affairs and mundane things, and only pays attention to the law of the jungle, which is based on the wisdom of the senior sister, you should not need me to say too clearly, you should be clear. ”

A different color flashed in Bai Qing'er's eyes, and she couldn't help but secretly guess the meaning of this resourceful senior sister's words, but she still nodded very obediently on her face.

Believe? She didn't think that her cunning and resourceful senior sister would be stupid to believe her, although there was a pitiful sisterhood between the demon gates, but it was more of a relationship of interests, as Wanwan said, the interests of the demon gate are supreme, and the weak eat the strong.

"June 19, this day is not a good day, junior sister, what do you think?" Wanwan looked up at the window, suddenly turned her eyes to look at Bai Qing'er, and said with a smile like a flower.

Bai Qing'er was stunned for a few moments, and then she also chuckled brightly, put her slender hand on the hairpin on her head, and said softly: "It's raining, just kill people, keep people, buy people!" ”

――――

Qiao Feng took a group of brothers to settle in a remote ruined temple in Luoyang City. Originally, Qiao Feng was reluctant to intervene in such chaos on the rivers and lakes, but Wang Jiantong Wang Lao Gang Leader gave an order, so Qiao Feng naturally did not dare to disobey the master's order, and came to Luoyang City to investigate the information of the Immortal Secret, and then reported back to the master.

With the "Recipe for Eternal Life" falling into the hands of the ruthless son, one of the four famous arrests, this morning, Qiao Feng felt that the task had been completed, so he let the two elders of the law enforcement and the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan rest, and issued an order to go back to restore his life one day.

Whether it is the two elders of the law enforcement or the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan and Qiao Feng have a very good relationship, these days because of the investigation of the longevity secret, so Qiao Feng and others follow Wang Jiantong's instructions not to drink alcohol without authorization, no, after abstaining from alcohol for nearly ten days, the matter has fallen to the dust, the four of them and some other beggar gang disciples gathered together and feasted, and finally Qiao Feng carried Ma Dayuan, who had already drunk down, and supported Lu Zhang, the elder of the law enforcement, and Bai Shijing, the elder of the law enforcement, to return to the beggar gang stronghold.

A few people who smelled of alcohol fell asleep in the morning.

On the second day, Bai Shijing was relieved and found Ma Dayuan lying in front of the toilet door and falling asleep, stepped forward and patted it, Bai Shijing's hand patted lightly, and Ma Dayuan fell to the ground like a breeze.

Originally, Bai Shijing wanted to laugh at Ma Dayuan, who had always been blowing nonsense, for his shallowness, but when he saw that Ma Dayuan was still lying on the ground, motionless, and then remembered that he patted Ma Dayuan on the shoulder, Ma Dayuan didn't move up and down, and immediately a bad thought appeared in Bai Shijing's mind.

Bai Shijing took a deep breath, walked to Ma Dayuan's side, and probed Ma Dayuan's nose with his hand. When his breathing stopped and his body was stiff for a long time, Ma Dayuan died.

Hearing the news, Bai Shijing's originally slightly drunk head immediately sobered up and told the news to the gang leader Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng woke up and immediately sent someone to check Ma Dayuan's body, Ma Dayuan had no obvious injuries all over his body, but a woodcut was found on the foot of Ma Dayuan's latrine at the end, which read: One!

One? What does this mean? “

June 19, unitary time.

The wine in the drunken flower yin is fragrant, but Li Changan, the master of the Tomahawk Hall, who has always been good at wine and greedy for glasses, was absent from today's cocktail party. Many of the disciples of the Battle Axe Hall went up to invite the hall master to come down and drink with the brothers, but there was no response.

On the second day, the shopkeeper went to the wing room to deliver face wash water for Li Changan, and found Li Changan sitting on the chuang, holding his iron axe that crisscrossed the north and south of the river, and the iron axe was firmly held in Li Changan's hand, just like Li Changan's own arm, but what about Li Changan?

The shopkeeper almost didn't recognize Li Changan, if he hadn't seen Li Changan's head falling to the ground, the shopkeeper would have even thought that he was dreaming, but how could this be a dream?

Li Changan was indeed dead, and holding his iron axe, which weighed thirty-eight pounds, was quietly beheaded.

On the ground, Li Changan's head and face were majestic.

It is conceivable that Li Changan didn't even know that he wouldn't die next before he died.

The shopkeeper screamed.

Drunken Huayin is no longer in Drunken Huayin, and the terrifying and dignified atmosphere is dense in Drunken Huayin.

Afterwards, Li Changan's subordinates examined Li Changan's body and found that there was a woodcut on Li Changan's chest, which read: Three!

On June 19, the mysterious deaths of two big men added a mysterious and gloomy veil to the day. Who is the murderer? Are these two murders related, and what is the murder weapon? Why did you kill these two people, and what is the relationship between these two??? What do the first and third found from Ma Dayuan and Li Changan mean?

A series of events lingered in everyone's minds with the mysterious death of these two people, like a haze in the sky, which could not be driven away.

It seems that this is the end of things, and there is no reason for it to end! But is that really the end of it?

On June 20, the wind was calm.

On June 21, there were some disputes between the Jianghu sects, but the wind and waves were calm.

On June 22, it was still calm.

Three days of calm and calm were just when the people of the rivers and lakes gathered in Luoyang City thought that the matter was over. On the evening of June 22, a woodcut was found in the mansion of the great Confucian king Bo, on which was written a word: two!

Immediately, the rivers and lakes boiled again and became nervous.

The haze that had disappeared in my heart was like a cloud surging in the wind, completely permeating the sky over Luoyang City and appearing in the hearts of many big people.
