Chapter 118: First Hearing Mao Eighteen

It's just that the organization of the Divine Dragon Sect is tightly hidden, which is certainly what Ling Muyun likes about it, but it is also a major obstacle for Ling Muyun to want to join the sect. Although he knew that the Shenlong Sect was on Shenlong Island in Liaodong, he couldn't just go to Shenlong Island to defect, if he couldn't join the sect, he would be suspected by the people of the Shenlong Sect of being a spy and killing people.

But in addition to Shenlong Island, Ling Muyun only knew that the fake Empress Dowager Mao Dongzhu in the palace was a member of the Shenlong Sect, and there should be a liaison base for her to keep in touch with the Shenlong Sect outside the palace, in addition, he didn't know where to find the disciples of the Shenlong Sect, and he didn't know anything about the way to enter the Shenlong Sect, and it was really not easy to join it logically.

After thinking about it to no avail, Ling Muyun decided to wait until he went to Yanjing, anyway, now he can only be sure that there are Shenlong Sectists in Yanjing, and when he arrives in Yanjing, as long as he follows the line of the fake queen mother and touches the melon, it is not difficult to connect with the Shenlong Sect, as for how to join it, then adapt to the situation, follow the plot, and be arrested and sent to Shenlong Island with Wei Xiaobao to join the religion. However, if you can join the sect in advance, it is best to join the sect in advance, because when Wei Xiaobao goes to Shenlong Island, Mao Dongzhu, the biggest secret chess of the Shenlong Sect in the Qing court, has been suspected by Kangxi under Wei Xiaobao's interference, and the role it can play is much smaller.

Don't look at Ling Muyun who hasn't even entered the door of the Divine Dragon Sect yet, in fact, he already treats the Divine Dragon Sect as something in his pocket in his heart. Although Hong Antong, the sect leader of the Divine Dragon Sect, is definitely the top powerhouse in the world in the Luding world, in Ling Muyun's eyes, it doesn't seem to be enough, after all, he has even killed an innate master with his own hands, and it is difficult for an acquired master to make him feel pressure.

This time, Ling Muyun got up in the morning, practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard, and moved his muscles and bones, and as soon as he got up, he heard a knock on the courtyard door, and then a voice with a hint of childlike voice sounded outside the door: "Young Master Ling, open the door, Xiaobao, I have brought you food." ”

A faint smile appeared on Ling Muyun's face, he walked to the gatehouse, stretched out his hand to pull down the latch, opened the courtyard door, and Wei Xiaobao, who was carrying a food box, suddenly appeared in front of him.

In order to grasp the context of the plot and prevent missing the start of the plot due to a momentary omission, Ling Muyun deliberately got in touch with Wei Xiaobao, and instead of ordering food in the restaurant, he went to Lichun Courtyard to order three meals, and specially instructed Wei Xiaobao to deliver it every day. Although the owner of Lichun Courtyard regretted that he could not pull Ling Muyun to her yard, Ling Muyun ordered food in Lichun Courtyard every time, and it was also a lot of income in the long run.

And because of Ling Muyun's "glorious" deeds in the past, the people of Lichun Courtyard had no doubts about Ling Muyun's indecision to have cheap meals, and he had to come to Lichun Courtyard to be slaughtered, anyway, Young Master Ling was a well-known loser in Yangzhou City, and he could do any strange thing, so what was so strange about the designated wine and food in the Ji Yuan?

"Young Master Ling, today's meal is not bad, there is a braised carp that is the most proud dish of the master in charge of our Lichun Courtyard, I am afraid that it will not taste good after it is cold, and it will affect your appetite, young master, I am trotting all the way, I don't believe you look at the sweat on my head." Wei Xiaobao carried the food box into the door, and flattered Ling Muyun as he walked.

"I know that you kid works hard, well, take this little money to tea." Ling Muyun smiled slightly, reached out and took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao suddenly smiled happily and said, "It's still Young Master Ling's funny enough, I, Wei Xiaobao, have grown up so many people and served countless people, if you want to be bold, you have to count Young Master Ling." Young Master Ling, you are called a husband, you are really arrogant, unlike some people, who go to us and play with the girls who are picking at the rope, and they can't become a big climate at a glance. ”

Because it has been said that he has been delivering food to Ling Muyun for half a year, Wei Xiaobao and Ling Muyun are also familiar with each other, and they are not so disciplined when they talk, and they are more open-minded. Of course, this is also related to Ling Muyun's intentional indulgence, although he doesn't like Wei Xiaobao's little bastard-like surname too much, but he can't talk about hating it, in the case that there is no conflict of interest between them, he is also happy to take advantage of the fact that he is still downcast to form a good relationship with him, maybe when he will be able to use it in the future, this is not easy to say.

"Oh? According to you, the more people who can spend money, the more they will become great? Ling Muyun asked with a smile.

"That is, you read the heroes and heroes mentioned in the book, which one is not righteous and what kind of wealth, throwing away a thousand dollars? What is the silver used for? Isn't it just a bad flower! Only those who can spend money can earn it, and only those who can't make money are reluctant to spend money, and such people will never want to become a big climate for the rest of their lives......"

Ling Muyun looked at Wei Xiaobao who was talking about his theory of spending money there, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Wei Xiaobao's theory can't be said to be right or wrong, after all, there is no absolute, but it is extremely applicable to himself, because Wei Xiaobao did this later, embezzlement, bribery, extortion, and extortion did everything, and the amount of money he got was staggering. And maybe it's too easy to get money, he spends money like running water, and many times he uses money to open the way, because money makes things happen, which can also be regarded as his unique way to success.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao changed his words and talked about his ideals: "If I have money, my grandmother's will drink flower wine every day like Young Master Ling, no, I will simply buy Lichun Courtyard, let my mother be the bustard's mother, and I will be the young owner of Lichun Courtyard. Well, by the way, you have to open a casino, go to the casino and gamble with people when you have nothing to do, you can't play girls all day long, and you have to find something serious to do, right? ”

Ling Muyun couldn't help crying and laughing, Wei Xiaobao's ideal is really special enough, but thinking about it is also consistent with his surname, and he is such a person who has no ambitions and is full of pleasure, but later he can stir up the general trend of the world, but it also makes people have to sigh that the will of heaven makes people and the impermanence of fate.

Wei Xiaobao stayed here with Ling Muyun for a while and then left to return to Lichun Courtyard, and Ling Muyun ate the breakfast sent by Lichun Courtyard, and walked out of the house, counting that he hadn't been on the street for several days, he was always at home, and everyone was about to get moldy. So take advantage of the good mood today to go out on the street.

Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the canal, Yangzhou lives in the canal, which is the place where Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Cao Yun must pass, and the key point of transportation. In the season of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was gathered by the salt merchants, Yin Fujia was in the world, and it was a prosperous place of first class at that time, so the people on the market were endless, the buildings on both sides were lined up one after another, and the shops on the street were next to each other, among which the goods were dazzling, so even Ling Muyun, who was travelling through the crowd, was also quite interested, and walked through several streets unconsciously.

At this time, Ling Muyun suddenly saw a group of people gathered around the corner of the street, as if they were looking at something. Ling Muyun was curious for a moment, stepped forward, squeezed into the crowd and took a look, it turned out that there was a list posted on the wall, which said that he was wanted to arrest Jiang Yang's thief Mao 18, saying that those who helped the government capture the thief or killed the thief would receive a reward of 2,000 taels of silver, and those who provided clues to the government to help the government arrest the thief could get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Next to the bounty notice is a portrait of Mao Eighteen, on which is depicted a bearded man.

There were literate people in the crowd who read this list, and many onlookers talked about it, and some people speculated that this Mao 18 had committed some major crime, and even asked the government to offer a reward of so much silver to arrest him. Some people talk about saying that since this Mao Eighteen is a Jiangyang thief who can make the government offer a heavy reward, it must be extremely vicious and very powerful, and it is not necessary to think about it if you catch and kill it yourself, it is best to know the whereabouts of this Mao Eighteen, go to the government to report to the government, and receive the reward of one thousand taels, which is also a windfall.

It must be known that the purchasing power of silver at this time is really not low, one or two pieces of silver can buy rice and one stone, that is, one hundred and twenty catties, which is enough for an ordinary family to consume for one or two months. Thousands of taels of silver are enough for a poor family to live a prosperous life from now on, and the temptation for these small people in the market is not small.

However, Ling Muyun had no hope for this, he now finally knew why the success rate of arresting fugitive criminals in ancient times was so low, it was really that the identification method was too low, there were no photos, so he could only take the method of drawing shadow graphics, and this shadow graphics were often seriously distorted, and there was not much difference between having and not having them.

Judging from the portrait of the wanted man in front of him, except for the beard on his face, there is no feature anymore, as long as the other party shaves the eye-catching beard, even if he stands in front of this picture, it is estimated that no one will be able to identify it. Unless you know this Mao Eighteen originally, looking for it based on this picture alone is tantamount to following the map, and it is a waste of effort.

Ling Muyun shook his head and was about to turn around and walk away, when suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind: "Wait, Mao Eighteen? Isn't the person who took Wei Xiaobao to the capital called Mao Eighteen! Could it be this person? Could it be that the plot of Luding is about to begin? ”

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun suddenly had no intention of wandering around, turned around and walked out of the crowd and walked back. If it's really the beginning of the plot, then he has to be ready to go, although he hasn't thought of a specific way to break into the Shenlong Sect until now, but follow the plot first, it's always right to find a way to connect with the Shenlong Sect first, and the most important thing is that his goal is to hide the forty-two chapters of the Manchu Hidden Treasure Map, if you don't participate in the plot, where can you get the forty-two chapters?
