Chapter 37: The Beggar Gang
Leaving the newly bought house on the edge of Taihu Lake, Qin went straight to the local yamen.
Ziqin is only familiar with the plot of the eagle shooting, but he is not omniscient, and Ziqin naturally has no advantage in finding Taihu Lake water pirates, so Ziqin chose the easiest way, that is, to investigate the local yamen.
For local water thieves, even if this yamen does not intend to take care of it, at least there will be archives.
Ziqin's guess was not wrong, the local yamen did have archives on the Taihu Lake water pirates, not only did they have archives, but they also seemed to plan to manage them.
There is no way, this gang of Taihu Lake water thieves is really rampant, if they are just robbing the goods of rich merchants, I am afraid that no official government will pay attention, but they actually attack the idea of the imperial court, which angered the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It's just that the Taihu Lake water thieves are really tough, so even if this group of people in the government has been preparing for a long time, they don't dare to use the box army to encircle and suppress.
Ziqin's continuous investigation during this period of time has found other abnormal places, and the reason why these people in the government do not go to encircle and suppress the Taihu Lake water thieves is not only because they are afraid of encirclement and suppression, but also because these people in the government are not united.
During this period, some people do not seem to want to see the Taihu Lake pirates exterminated.
This made Ziqin very puzzled, at first Ziqin even thought that this guy was a gang of Taihu Lake water thieves, but by following Ziqin, he found that this guy was really the scum of the scum, and it was definitely impossible to be a chivalrous Taihu Lake water thief.
After that, Ziqin slowly discovered that this guy was likely to be a spy of the Jin Kingdom lurking in the Southern Song Dynasty.
During this period, the Jin and Song dynasties had already been facing each other for a hundred years, and the fighting on the frontal battlefield had long since stopped, but the secret war between the two countries had never stopped.
Perhaps there are not many such secret wars in China's thousands of years of history, but there are only a few times that really go down in history, and the Jin and Song dynasties are definitely among them, starting from Qin Hui's assassination of Yue Fei, the secret wars during the Jin and Song dynasties have actually been in full swing.
For a month, Ziqin had paid attention to all the things he thought he should pay attention to, and it was also his turn to act, so he planned to contact the guy who might be a spy from the Jin Kingdom.
Taihu Lake was probably one of the most prosperous areas in the whole of China in this era, after all, with the southward migration of Yanjing in the Song Dynasty, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty also moved southward, and Taihu Lake occupied the busiest and prosperous part of the Song Dynasty's water transportation.
This may be the residence of the officials of the Jin State spies is a courtyard with three courtyards in front and back, but it was noon when Ziqin arrived, and Ziqin himself did not plan to visit at night, however, when he first came to the periphery of this courtyard, Ziqin suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This courtyard was originally located in a rich area, and there are a lot of rich people around it, but most of them are rich and unkind, or even if they are not rich and unkind, they are mostly high-gate compounds, such a place is rich and rich, but there should never be many beggars who come here to beg, and when Ziqin came, he found that there seemed to be a lot of beggars in this area.
From the periphery of the area, all the way to the courtyard where it may be the spies of the Jin Kingdom, there are beggars all around, these beggars are either in twos and threes, or alone, and they seem to be extremely scattered, but they vaguely surround the courtyard where Ziqin's target is located.
In another time and space, Ziqin would never pay attention to beggars like this, but in the world of condor shooting, Ziqin couldn't help but pay attention to these beggars, after all, in this time and space, whether it is high-end force, or the beggar gang of rivers and lakes, it is definitely the largest gang in the world, even if it is a sect like Shaolin or Quanzhen Sect, it is far inferior to the beggar gang in condor shooting.
Looking at these beggars Ziqin to confirm their guesses even more, the official of the Song Dynasty was the spies of the Jin State, and the beggar gang's well-versed knowledge of the news in this era was definitely incomparable to that of the Jin and Song Dynasty combined.
Ziqin only glanced at the beggars, and didn't pay attention to them anymore, and slowly walked towards the courtyard where his target was, although the beggar gang seemed to be ready to deal with the Song Dynasty official, it seemed that the target of the beggar gang had a conflict with Ziqin, but Ziqin didn't pay any attention to it, let alone the slightest intention to contact the beggar gang first.
He is now burdened with the name of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, betraying the lord and seeking glory, he doesn't believe that his current reputation can make the beggars believe in him, and he doesn't want others to believe in his own mind.
is also like Xiao Feng in the dragon, always wants to prove his innocence, but when the truth comes out, the result may not be much better, but it is not as good as the East Evil in the Condor Shooting, never explain anything to people, and even often anger people, in the eyes of others, the East Evil is naturally unreasonable, and even people who can be angry are smoking, but the East Evil himself lives so chic.
Ziqin jumped into the courtyard of this Song Dynasty official lightly, and did not hide his figure and walked straight towards the front yard hall of this official, several martial artists who guarded the courtyard shouted and rushed towards Ziqin, while the maids and servants in the front yard dispersed in horror.
Ziqin easily overturned a few martial artists, and the figure walked towards the backyard without stopping, according to Ziqin's investigation for a month, the official should be lying down at this moment, he naturally didn't want to waste time waiting for the panic of those maids and servants to alarm the official waiting for him to come to the front yard, not to mention that if the official knew that someone in the front yard was knocking on the door, most of them would also slip away from the backyard, and he definitely didn't have the courage to come to the front yard.
The figure quickly entered the backyard, Ziqin shot away in one direction, and the person was already in the void before he was near, and the door of a bedroom in the backyard was suddenly knocked away, and the frightened screams of women and men came from inside.
"Get dressed and come out, I have something to ask you."
Ziqin's voice sounded from above, he had commanded the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom for a period of time, Ziqin was naturally able to imitate the tone of this kind of superior, but, unfortunately, the one in the room was by no means a smart person, and he didn't hear any difference in Ziqin's tone, and was still screaming, and at this time, there was a shout of killing outside the courtyard.
The beggars actually took advantage of this opportunity to kill them.
Ziqin's brows furrowed, the beggars of this era are indeed admirable, but Ziqin is not the kind of person who makes way for others because they are worthy of admiration.
A token fell into Ziqin's hand from his sleeve, and Ziqin threw the token into the room with a shaking hand.
"I don't want to say my words a third time, get dressed and come out, I'll keep you fine."
With just one sentence, Ziqin turned his head to look at the corridor leading to the backyard, where a group of beggars were swarming out.
