This matter started after Xu Yicheng left Beijing.

Liu Yiming wanted to go to Ping'an City with him, but Xu Yicheng told him that he had a more important task, which was to try to find out the mastermind of the shooting. Liu Yiming is very happy to be entrusted with such an important mission, which shows that Xu Yicheng relies on himself as a confidant. He can't tell himself now whether he is so dedicated to helping Xu Yicheng to the throne, or whether he admires this person in his heart.

Anyway, Huang Kewu just wants to be a bodyguard and follow Xu Yicheng. And investigating the shooting requires brains and action, this is something that only he can do, and Liu Yiming has this confidence.

The bullet had been found in the Hongbin Building, where it had pierced a policeman's shoulder, shattered the glass, and then embedded deep in a red-painted pillar in the middle of the room. Originally, the Jingshi Police Department did not have the technical strength to do the identification, but it happened that Fu Gui knew a firearms fan who had returned from studying in Germany, helped to check it in his personal capacity, and consulted a few foreign friends, and finally came to the conclusion that this bullet was a special ammunition for the British-made Lee-Enfield Magazine Short Rifle MkV. The manufacturing process of this gun was complicated, and it was not suitable for inclusion in the standard equipment, and it was discontinued after only 20,000 units. However, this model has a higher shooting accuracy at long distances than ordinary production rifles, and is often collected by private individuals.

Very few people in China have such a rifle. In other words, the attack on Xu Yicheng could not have been a stray bullet from the wandering Feng army, but definitely a deliberate assassination. Moreover, the fact that the assassin was able to use a rare rifle like the Lee Enfield MkV shows that the forces behind it have a lot of energy.

Liu Yiming didn't know anything about firearms, but at least he knew that after the bullet came out of the chamber, it must have gone in a straight line. He returned to the Hongbin Building, stood in front of the bullet-riddled pillar, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, looking through the glass window until he saw the row of houses in front of the Hongbin Building.

The Lee-Enfield MkV has an effective range of a thousand yards, which is roughly equivalent to two miles. Then Liu Yiming only needs to take Hongbin Building as the center of the circle and draw a circle with a radius of two miles, and the roofs of the houses in this circle may be the position where the killer shoots. Liu Yiming eliminated several rooms that were obviously not suitable for shooting, and finally locked down a small tiled house. The tiled house had been abandoned for a long time, uninhabited, and on the street, where the killer could climb up and lay in ambush without alerting anyone, and then quickly leave after shooting.

Liu Yiming found no trace in the tiled house, but he dug up a witness among the surrounding residents. It was an old lady who lived with her son, and on the night of the shooting, she had a fight with her daughter-in-law and was kicked out of the house. The old lady was ashamed and annoyed, sulking at the mouth of the alley. She saw a man walking through the back street, very tall, certainly not a neighbor. The man had a gun on his back, and the old lady thought it was a wounded soldier of the Feng army, so she didn't dare to say anything. Counting the time, it happened more than two hours before the shooting.

Liu Yiming asked the old lady what other characteristics the person was, and the old lady thought for a long time, saying that his right leg seemed to be a little lame, and he couldn't say anything else.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yiming went to the Majestic Hotel, and the China Terroir Investigation Group was the most suspicious group in the shooting incident and needed to be further approached. Xu Yicheng has already aroused their vigilance, and Liu Yiming still has a raw face, which is just right to approach. But when Liu Yiming arrived, the shopkeeper told Liu Yiming that the delegation had left Beijing two days ago, and he didn't know where he went, but the room was still there.

Liu Yiming left disappointed, but at that moment, he saw a person walking out of the hotel. Although this person is dressed in a horse coat and is no different from ordinary Chinese, he is full of strength, which makes him look very different from the passers-by around him.

Liu Yiming was born in an antique family, and his eyesight is naturally not weak. He swept over and immediately found that although the man tried his best to hide it, his right leg was indeed a little lame. He asked the shopkeeper who it was, and the shopkeeper said that he didn't live here, but he often came to contact the Japanese who came to the expedition group, and he didn't know who he was, because he hardly opened his mouth.

Liu Yiming immediately realized that this was the person he had been looking for. He left the Majestic Hotel, followed the man from a distance, and followed him all the way south. This man walks with a straight waist, and walks in a straight line, never looking around. At this time, Beijing was close to a state of war. The fighting in the south is becoming more and more unfavorable, and rumors are growing in the newspapers. There are few pedestrians on the street, and everyone is in a hurry. Keeping track of such a person is not an easy task. Liu Yiming pretended to be indifferent, gradually narrowed the distance between him and him, and his breathing slowly became short. If this person is a killer, if he finds that someone is following him, he is likely to kill the killer, and when the time comes, let alone call the police, even shouting on the street may not be ignored.

There was an intersection ahead, and the man walked to the side of the road and suddenly stopped. Liu Yiming's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, there was obviously no car in front of him, why did he stop? Did he remember something, or did he find himself stalking?

Liu Yiming was hesitating whether to step forward or find a place to dodge, when a hand wrapped around his neck from behind, and then a lazy voice came loudly: "Your father is looking for you everywhere!" Still playing around! Before Liu Yiming could react, the hand had already grabbed him by the collar and dragged him aside. Liu Yiming looked sideways and saw that it was actually medicine.

The medicine didn't go to Ping'an City, Xu Yicheng was afraid that he would get into trouble because of his addiction to smoking. Liu Yiming didn't call him when he investigated, and let him stay at home honestly. Liu Yiming didn't expect him to run out suddenly and stop himself. He frowned, and was about to say something, but Yao Lai glared at him with stern eyes: "Are you crazy?" Is there such a person? He looked forward, and deliberately raised his voice, "You borrowed money from me to buy big cigarettes, what's the matter with stealing your father's treasure?" ”

Passers-by looked sideways, thinking that Liu Yiming was a loser and was caught on the street. Liu Yiming was a little angry, this was obviously his own business, but he planted it on his head. But the medicine came to save him, Liu Yiming didn't have a good seizure, and he thought that this kid would really find a time to take revenge. Yaolai chattered for a while, dragged Liu Yiming away, and quietly probed to see, the person was gone.

"It took me a long time to keep up with him, and I was disturbed by you, didn't I lose it?" Liu Yiming looked at the medicine with dissatisfaction. Yao Lai shrugged his nose and disagreed: "You also call it stalking?" You are like a turnip in the field—waiting for someone to pull it out. You don't see that the guy is standing on the side of the road, his right hand is outstretching, and if you get any closer, something will happen if you don't get even. If it weren't for the buddy who gave you a round in time, I wouldn't know how to die! ”

"Hmph, I don't know who was followed by me two days ago."

"That's a buddy who is in a hurry to buy tobacco, and he is negligent for a while, and he usually sees and listens to all directions, so he won't make such a mistake."

Liu Yiming said unhappily: "Don't be poor, now that people have run away, what should I do?" ”

Yaolai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a few little brothers, and I am the best at talking to people." They take turns staring, and they can't run. But they're just a little greedy......" he said, rubbing his fingers. Liu Yiming knew that this kid had a wide range of friends, and he knew all the three sects and nine streams, so he came to get paid, so he said angrily: "As long as I can find it, I will naturally have money for you, huh?" Yao Lai said: "I can rest assured if I have your words." ”

The little brothers who came from the medicine were really powerful, and it didn't take long for the news to come that person left Nancheng and entered a nearby warehouse, and he never came out. Yaolai begged Liu Yiming for a reward, and Liu Yiming had to take out his private money. Yaolai took the money and waved into the distance, and three or four little dirty children in ragged clothes ran over. Only then did Liu Yiming know that the little brothers in Yaolai's mouth were all homeless children in the capital.

Yaolai didn't keep any of his own money, he gave them all the money, and said to buy some medicine candy to eat, and the children left happily, leaving only one to lead the way. Yao took a look at Liu Yiming: "These dolls are pitiful, they have no father or mother, so I will treat them as doing good deeds for you." ”

Liu Yiming's face was pale: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and lead the way!" ”

Every inch of land in Beijing is expensive, so the merchants from the south have sent large quantities of goods to a place not far outside the city, and over time, a large number of warehouses have been formed. The warehouses are all brick flat roofs, long slips. The warehouse that Liu Yiming and Yao Lai found found was a private property, with a few Japanese characters written on it, surrounded by courtyard walls, planted with a circle of poplar trees, and facing east was a gate for carriages and horses to enter and exit. There are four long rows of warehouses in the warehouse, separated by firebreaks.

There are people watching at the door of the warehouse, and they can't get in, and the walls on all sides are very high. Liu Yiming and Yao Lai hid by a small earth temple nearby. Liu Yiming asked if he saw that person entering here, Yao Lai nodded, and said that the group of wild boys ran around in and out of the city every day, and no one in Beijing was more familiar with these horns and horns than them.

They were followed by a small mud monkey, dressed in tattered clothes, with mud on his nose and hair, which looked like a bird's nest. When he saw the medicine coming, he stretched out his thin arm and clenched his little fist tightly. Yao came to ask him what treasure he had found, and the little mud monkey said that it had fallen from the carriage that came out of the store, and asked him to pick it up. The medicine came and stabbed Liu Yiming, and Liu Yiming reluctantly took out another piece of candy for him.

The little mud monkey swallowed the candy in one gulp, smacked its lips, and then let go of its hand and showed a small oilcloth bag. When Yao Lai looked at the oilcloth bag, his face suddenly changed, as if he was electrocuted, and his body suddenly retracted. Liu Yiming was a little puzzled, the tarpaulin hadn't been opened yet, why was he afraid of being like this? Yaolai hid far away, and his hands trembled: "You dismantle your ......" Liu Yiming opened the oilcloth bag, which was a black thing pressed into a round cake shape, and asked what Yaolai was. Yaolai gasped and said, "This, this is the 'one golden pill' I bought last time, but this is the original pill that was not boxed and molded...... Excuse me, or I'll be addicted again......"

Liu Yiming was taken aback, and after a closer look, it was indeed similar to the thing he bought in Qinglou last time. He said that Uncle Xu didn't give you smoking cessation medicine, and Yaolai replied angrily: "That can't be delivered to me, ouch, I'll stay away, you can figure it out yourself." Seeing that his tears and snot were coming down, he hurriedly crawled to the ground and hid away.

Liu Yiming asked the mud monkey if the carriage was full of this thing, and the mud monkey nodded yes, and said that there were more piles in the warehouse. Liu Yiming was shocked, he originally wanted to track down the murderer of Xu Yicheng, but he didn't expect to find a large warehouse of tobacco and soil. This warehouse is not small, if it is full of this "one golden pill", the amount is really not small.

Liu Yiming remembered that the medicine said that this "one golden pill" is a product of the Japanese factory made in Dalian. But what he couldn't figure out was how the people from the China Terroir Investigation Group came to the warehouse where the tobacco was hidden? Could it be that these people are actually here to sell tobacco and soil under the banner of archaeology? He felt that things were going a little weird way.

Liu Yiming threw this priceless thing into the mud and crushed it with his heel a few times until it turned into slag. He called Yaolai back, Yaolai looked embarrassed, and when he heard that the entire warehouse was full of this thing, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This, this is enough for the entire North China to smoke for half a year, isn't this obviously going to bully people?" ”

When Liu Yiming heard this, he hurriedly asked who was bullying, and Yao Lai shook his finger and said: "In Beijing, the most is domestic Eagle brand opium, which is not as good as 'a golden pill', but it is cheaper." If the Japanese let out such a large sum of goods and the price dropped, then there would be no way for domestic goods to survive. ”

It turns out that there is such a reason. Liu Yiming narrowed his eyes, thinking more than medicine.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Beijing banned smoking for a while, and soon Yuan Shikai began to collect opium taxes, and since then there has been a resurgence. Since then, successive Beiyang governments have opposed opium on the surface, but privately connived at it, and some people, such as Cao Kun and others, have also engaged in official sales and military sales. So over the years, the people's call for a smoking ban has been very high, and the official face has also promulgated one ban after another, but the actual situation has become more and more intense. The Japanese are now going to make a horizontal move, and this is planning to take advantage of the vacuum of government power before Zhang Zuolin's retreat of the revolutionary army to the north and seize the opportunity to occupy the opium market in the entire north China.

I didn't catch an antique, but it led to a lot of smoke. This accident made Liu Yiming cry and laugh. He teased his glasses, figuring out what to do next.

"Shh Yaolai suddenly pressed Liu Yiming's head down. The door to the inn suddenly opened, and a group of people stepped out of it. Liu Yiming saw the tall man in it at a glance, but a low "ouch" sound from the medicine made him focus on the other person.

It was a middle-aged man, with a face like a harrier eagle, and it was Yao Shenxing—no wonder Yao Lai almost shouted.

The next patriarch of the five veins actually met the Japanese in the warehouse where opium was stored behind his back, and this astonishing discovery made the two young men freeze in place for a while, unable to move, and became more and more unable to understand the situation.

The people in the distance were unaware of being spied on, and the two talked briefly for a few words, and then said goodbye. Yao Shenxing did not call a rickshaw, but cautiously walked away, and soon disappeared. Yaolai said in a low voice: "I think my father should have nothing to do with opium, just use this place to talk about other things." He looked at Liu Yiming's suspicious eyes, and quickly explained, "My father has always hated opium the most, and his body is allergic to that thing, and the doctor doesn't dare to use it when he is sick." ”

The medicine was chattering, but Liu Yiming's face was gloomy. If it's not for drugs, it's only for antique things. Xu Yicheng has always believed that the theft of Tanglin is closely related to the Japanese expedition, but there is no substantial evidence, and this time it is indirectly confirmed.

What is the role of medicine in this area?

Liu Yiming glanced at the medicine and hid these speculations in his stomach. Father and son are connected, and he doesn't know what Yao Lai will think now.

At this time, Yao Lai shouted: "Not good! Liu Yiming raised his eyes to look and found that the tall man was rushing straight towards the Land Temple, the speed was extremely fast and menacing, and it was clearly aimed at them. Liu Yiming was taken aback, it must have been the two of them who were frightened by Yao Shenxing's sudden appearance just now, and they showed their flaws carelessly.

The Japanese man's eyes were terrifying, like those of an eagle harrier, and his glare hurt more than a sting. He ran very fast, and as soon as he spotted the two of them, he pounced on them in three steps and two steps. Liu Yiming just had time to react and pushed the medicine away, if the medicine was not usually used to hiding his father's bamboo board, it was as smooth as a loach, I was afraid that he would also be caught. He jumped into the small river ditch and escaped, but Liu Yiming was taken back by the Japanese.

Yao Lai didn't dare to go back to the five veins, for fear of being discovered by his father, and he couldn't find anyone to discuss, so he had to stay outside Xizhimen City, waiting for Xu Yicheng and them to come back.

After listening to the medicine and talking about the encounter, everyone was stupid. Yao Shenxing is usually a bit more powerful, but he is rigorous and abides by family rules, Xu Yicheng never expected that he would actually go to the Nancheng Warehouse to meet the Japanese, what is going on?

Fu Gui was the first to break the silence: "Without further ado, let's go to save people first, and then talk about the rest." "Others have no objection to that.

So the carriage immediately turned around, and under the guidance of Yaolai, it galloped towards the warehouse outside the southern city. Halfway through, Fu Gui also met a few familiar policemen, and he told these policemen that they had a chance to check the goods - the police said that the inspection of the goods was a bargain, which was a fat difference, so the policemen were happy and followed.

Fu Gui asked the police why the city of Beijing had suddenly become so chaotic, and the police told him that it turned out that a thick smoke had risen from the presidential palace this afternoon, enveloping most of Fuyou Street, and half of Beijing could be seen. It is said that President Zhang Da is ready to run back to the customs, so he will burn the confidential documents or something. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the common people really believed it, and they all began to pack up their things and run out of the city. Wu Yuwen himself didn't know where to go, and the Jingshi Police Department was paralyzed, let alone maintaining law and order.

In a word, Beijing City is now completely chaotic, and it is really time for them to come back.

The group came to the warehouse, just in time for the early dawn. The lights were still faintly lit in the warehouse, and two more people were sent to stand guard at the door, looking like they were facing a great enemy. It seems that the other party has also been wary.

"What shall we do? Straight in? Xu Yicheng asked. He is well versed in antique archaeology, but he is completely ignorant of these things. Fu Gui ignored him and looked directly at Yaolai: "You said you saw them carrying tobacco out?" Yaolai patted his chest: "Absolutely, it's a 'golden pill', it's a good product." ”

Fu Gui nodded, turned back to the police, and said, "Did you hear that?" There is a private collection of tobacco here, so you have to check it out. The police let out a burst of excited chatter, gearing up.

Although tobacco is widely circulated, it is a contraband on the surface. Successive governments have secretly connived, but have never dared to publicly declare opium legal. Therefore, the police like to ban this kind of thing the most, and the division is famous and rich in oil and water. Fu Gui's heart is as careful as a hair, he has already seen the Japanese characters in front of the warehouse, if there is no suitable reason, these police officers are as timid as rats and will not provoke the Japanese. In the name of opium banning, the high profits will be able to make them pluck up courage.

Fu Gui called four policemen and walked straight over. When they arrived at the door of the warehouse, the two doorkeepers stopped, Fu Gui flashed his documents, and said coldly: "Jingshi Police Department, now I suspect that you are secretly hiding big cigarettes here." "The gatekeepers looked at each other and were a little overwhelmed. One of them said that this is the property of Serizawa Co., Ltd., and it is not under the control of China. Fu Gui's face sank: "Fart, this is not a concession." As long as it is in the city of Beijing, it is the territory of our police department! With a wave of his hand, the four policemen were like wolves, and they dropped the two guns guarding the door and pressed them directly to the ground. Fu Gui's hands moved, and the chins and wrists of the two people were removed. It does not hurt human life, but the combat effectiveness is completely abolished.

This method made Huang Kewu's face tremble. If it was him, at most he would find a rope to tie up and plug his mouth with a towel, but he was not so ruthless as Fu Gui.

Fu Gui opened the door of the warehouse, asked Xu, Huang, Yao and others who were hiding nearby, and walked in with such a swagger, and ordered a search! The policemen were so excited that they picked up their batons one by one and ran to the warehouse and duty room with shouts. In a short time, they brought out seven or eight people, mostly Chinese, and two Japanese. These men looked unruly and muttered, and were very dissatisfied with the sudden search. Fu Gui took out his gun, fired a shot into the sky, and shouted: "The police are doing things, get down for me!" Immediately the men fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, sharper than a rabbit.

At this time, there were several screams in the darkness, Fu Gui followed the sound and saw two policemen flying out of the warehouse and falling to the ground. He frowned, although these two people are not strong players, but their weight is there, and now they are actually thrown out directly, and the strength of that opponent is not small. Two more policemen rushed over and soon lay to the ground screaming.

A tall and burly figure appeared at the door of the warehouse, and Yao Lai pointed: "It's him!" We followed him to find here, and Yiming was also captured by him! Xu Yicheng dealt with you and said: "I have seen this person in the Dahua Hotel, Sakai Daisuke's side, I suspect that he is a soldier, be careful." ”

As he spoke, Huang Kewu had already pounced and fought with that person. Huang Kewu is a master of Xingyi Boxing, and he starts mercilessly, while that person blocks left and right, and seems to be at ease. If there is a practitioner next to him, he can see that this person is practicing his movements, just testing Huang Kewu's boxing path, and after more than a dozen moves, he suddenly raised his right fist and stabbed forward. With such a simple action, Huang Kewu hurried with his arms, but he felt a huge force surge, and he fell to the ground on his back with a pop.

The man shook his head, and his neck rattled and rattled, and it was extremely fierce. Huang Kewu jumped up from the ground, roared, and pounced again. The man didn't expect Huang Kewu to come back to his senses so quickly, and the two got together again.

At this time, the entire warehouse compound was under control, and everyone's attention was focused on the two of them. Xu Yicheng doesn't know kung fu, so he can only watch from the sidelines. He could see that the man's fist technique was simple and direct, without any tricks, but it was extremely powerful. Although Huang Kewu's physical fitness is very good, his experience in facing the enemy is much worse, and he is completely at a disadvantage.

No one noticed that at this time, Fu Gui was like a ghost and crawled to the side of the warehouse steps beside the two of them, like a wolf hiding in the shadows, staring coldly at that person. Huang Kewu and the Japanese collided hard again, but they were shocked back two steps and barely stood still. Taking advantage of the moment when the two separated, Fu Gui suddenly made a move, and a handful of white ash was raised in his hand, all of which got into the man's eyes.

The man was suddenly attacked, his eyes went dark, and then he felt that his eye sockets were extremely painful. He was stoic, and after a very short period of panic, he actually held back, stepped back, and guarded the door. Huang Kewu was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and with a flick of his bow, the whole person rushed to his chest like a cannonball, slammed into him, and knocked him to the ground.

Fu Gui did not hesitate and shot again. This time instead of white soot, he sprinkled a bowl of water. The water happened to be poured into the man's white-gray eye sockets, making a hissing sound. The man finally let out a scream, covered his eyes with his hands, and rolled on the ground. Fu Gui immediately rushed up, clicked twice, and removed his arm joints, and then stood up.

Huang Kewu gasped, came over with a blue nose and swollen face, looked down, and realized that the white powder was quicklime. A little quicklime is piled up in each storehouse, which is used as a desiccant in the summer. Just now, Fu Gui probably grabbed a handful in his hand, and copied a bowl of well water to quench the thirst of the guards, which came in handy.

Huang Kewu's mood is very complicated, that guy's combat effectiveness is too strong, if he doesn't have this ash, he will definitely not be able to take it down, but the master has also taught, saying that sprinkling lime is a means of indiscriminate use, and people who learn martial arts must not use it. Fu Gui saw his thoughts, and said coldly: "I'm not a person who practices martial arts, I'm a policeman who does things." ”

At this time, the medicine came into the warehouse and helped Liu Yiming out. Liu Yiming's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his spirit was sluggish, but fortunately his life was not in danger. According to him, after being arrested and put into the warehouse, the man interrogated him about who he was instructed to do and tortured him, but he gritted his teeth and did not say anything.

Several policemen found a lot of tobacco in the store, and they were both happy and surprised. The good news is that if these tobacco soil are confiscated, it will be a lot of income; Amazingly, they are now coming back to their senses, this is the territory of the Japanese, offending foreigners, but there may not be good fruits to eat. Fu Gui said to them, I will stand up to the sky when it falls, and then they began to count the inventory and treat the injured companions nervously.

They found an empty warehouse, tied the man up, and brought him a dry cloth and vegetable oil and washed his eyes. Xu Yicheng paced in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" The man first said a sentence in Japanese, and then replied in stiff Chinese: "Sister Xiaolu Yongde." It's a very Chinese name, but looking at his angular face, he doesn't look like a gentle and elegant person.

"You're from the China Terroir Expedition?"

"I have been illegally violated, and I ask to contact the Japanese embassy." Sister Lu Yongde answered the question, and his tone was mechanical and cold.

"Where did Daisuke Sakai go?"

"I have been illegally violated, and I ask to contact the Japanese embassy."

"How did Chen Weili die? What are your intentions in coming to China? ”

"I have been illegally violated, and I ask to contact the Japanese embassy."

Xu Yicheng believed that his sister Lu Yongde had a lot of key information, but this bastard had only been repeating this sentence except for his name, and he had no fear. This kind of suffocating feeling that the truth is close at hand but cannot be touched makes Xu Yicheng angry and extremely irritable.

The frustration of Ping'an City made Xu Yicheng particularly depressed, and now encountering such a sullen gourd made him even more impetuous. Chen Weili's death, half a mysterious letterhead, the picture of the sword, the Chinese terroir expedition, and the Tanglin robbery excavation, each mystery is related to each other, but none of them have been solved, just like a nine-in-a-row, no matter how you solve it.

At this time, Fu Gui pressed his hand on Xu Yicheng's shoulder and said lightly: "Palm, I can't do it; Interrogation, you can't. He asked Huang Kewu to bring an iron kettle to fill it with water, then lay his sister Lu Yongde down and took out a piece of white gauze from his arms.

Everyone else was kicked out, Fu Gui put white gauze on his sister Lu Yongde's face, and said slowly: "In our China, this is called the Dragon King's birthday." Then pick up the kettle and let the water flow out drop by drop. These droplets are first dripped onto the gauze, then slowly seep down and hit the nose. At first, the gauze can absorb water, but I don't think much of it, but when the gauze is saturated with water absorption, I start to choke my nose. The tortured person will have a strong feeling of suffocation, but the water will drip slowly, and this fear will be magnified to the maximum, and within an hour the prisoner will have a nervous breakdown.

The Jingshi Police Department has no other capabilities, and the torture division inherits the Qing Dynasty, and there are all kinds of negative means. This dragon king's birthday worship is already considered a relatively civilized one, and this trick is used to deal with criminals with status, in order not to leave scars, in case the case of a day later, there is still room for the case to be overturned. Fu Gui knew that this Japanese had a special identity and scolded him, but if he was really killed, it would cause a lot of turmoil.

But this guy is really tough, and under the birthday of the dragon king, he has been stubborn and silent. Fu Gui poured three pots of water in a row, his arms were sore, and he still didn't speak. Fu Gui felt that something was wrong, lifted the gauze, and found that the Japanese had actually fainted.

Fu Gui walked out of the warehouse and shook his head at Xu Yicheng, indicating that he couldn't torture anything for the time being. He gestured: "Borrow a step to speak." ”

The two of them walked outside the warehouse, and Fu Gui said: "Now the situation is getting worse and worse, the army in the south is getting closer and closer, Zhang Zuolin is about to run away, and Beijing City has become a borderless land." ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Yicheng raised his head sharply and glared at him with sharp eyes.

"Give up for now, no one will help us now." Fu Gui said.

He has a point. The five veins are a bunch of waste, the Qing clan has money, but the power is very limited, the government and the police department are useless, looking at the capital, they can't find any reinforcements. And their opponent, behind the sister Xiaoji Yongde is the China Terroir Investigation Group, and behind the Investigation Group is the Japanese Empire; Behind Wang Shaoyi are the Ma Futian bandits, two big and one small, both of which are unshakable behemoths.

"When the situation calms down, it's not too late to investigate Chen Weili's death, do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Gui stared at Xu Yicheng. The implication of his words is that Chen Weili's matter can be put aside, and as for Hai Lanzhu, it is not Xu Yicheng's responsibility. The clan forcibly asked her to follow, and the responsibility should be borne by themselves, and it was enough to report Yufang.

"The more chaos there is, the more people will take advantage of it. Wang Shaoyi plans to steal Dongling, and the terroir investigation group that is now unknown must also have ulterior motives. If we don't care, then no one can take care of it, and Vilik will die in vain. Xu Yicheng's temper also came up, he stared at Fu Gui calmly, but he didn't give up an inch in his words. Fu Gui did not shy away, straightened his chest, and glared at him with the same fierce eyes: "Don't forget!" You still have a wife! There will be children soon! Now that the city is in chaos like this, can you bear to throw them down? ”

Hearing this, Xu Yicheng's attitude softened in an instant. He hung his head, seemingly speechless. Fu Gui didn't force him, turned around and walked away, throwing down a sentence: "Think about it yourself." ”

Xu Yicheng stood alone in the warehouse, staring blankly outside. By this time the sun had slowly risen, and wisps of light were shining through the cracks in the ceiling and shining on him. Xu Yicheng raised his head and looked at the sky, as if looking for an answer. But God doesn't care about the chaos in the world at all, and today is another bright sunny day, as if satirizing what is happening in this land.

He looked at it for a long time, and then, calm as usual, he quickly withdrew his gaze, his face tense, and he walked around the courtyard a few times with his hands behind his back, like a trapped beast. In the end, he walked up to Liu Yiming, took a closer look at his injuries, and then said to Huang Kewu: "Kewu, please go tell Yufang and inform them of the matter of Ping'an City." Huang Kewu agreed, and Xu Yicheng said to Fu Gui again: "Please place Yiming and this Japanese in a safe place." Fu Gui nodded, it seemed that Xu Yicheng had been persuaded by himself, so he asked again: "Then where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to find a medicine to be cautious." Xu Yicheng said lightly with a gloomy face.

Fu Gui frowned: "I didn't mean ......" Xu Yicheng interrupted him: "I have to ask clearly why he met with the Japanese." If I don't figure this out, I won't be at ease. ”

At this time, Liu Yiming struggled to get up: "Uncle Xu, if Wang Shaoyi kidnapped Professor Kido, it means that the person who stole and excavated Tanglin has nothing to do with the Chinese terroir expedition group. Uncle Yao met with them, probably for something else, maybe it was different from what we thought. ”

Xu Yicheng replied coldly: "Who said that there is only one group of people who covet Tanglin? ”

Liu Yiming struggled to hold on to the lenses: "Uncle Xu, I have to go with you." Xu Yicheng patted him on the shoulder: "You have a good rest, the medicine will accompany me." When Yao Lai heard that he was going to confront his father, he showed a sad face. However, he looked at Liu Yiming, then at Huang Kewu, and straightened his chest again.

Fu Gui hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, what ......?" Xu Yicheng said: "I went to see her after I went to find the five pulses, just by the way." ”

Xu Yicheng and Yaolai stepped out of the courtyard and went straight to the city. The further I walked into the city, the more frightened I became. The streets were full of garbage, and it was extremely silent, and every now and then a few dark shadows would drill around. Even the birds were disturbed and flew around, making terrible noises. The laid-back and graceful atmosphere of the old Beijing city is gone.

The only thing that was still a little lively was the newsboys running all over the streets, shouting "nickname outside" that President Zhang Zuolin had announced his withdrawal from Beijing.

They rushed all the way to the house of the five veins, and found that the middle door was wide open, and many people were busy inside and out, and there were several carriages carrying goods parked in front of the door. Medicine came to stop one person and asked what was going on. The man saw that it was medicine, and he was so anxious that he stomped his foot: "Little ancestor, are you still playing?" President Zhang is about to run away, and the family is packing up his things and going out to avoid trouble! Yao Lai asked, "What about my father?" The man pointed, "Inside, staring at the pretend." ”

Yaolai and Xu Yicheng walked inside, and when the man saw that it was Xu Yicheng, he was stunned, and the copper basin in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Xu Yicheng walked to the front of the hall and said to Yao: "You just wait for me here, don't be embarrassed." Then he pushed the door open. There are dozens of red silk wooden boxes open in the hall, Shen Mo and Yao Shenxing stand in the middle hall, commanding in the center, and seven or eight five-vein disciples lightly carry all kinds of antiques and pack them, and for each one, Yao Shenxing will make a note in the account book.

Seeing Xu Yicheng break in, Yao Shenxing and Shen Mo were a little surprised. Yao Shenxing put down the account book in his hand and greeted him, but before he could speak, Xu Yicheng asked sharply: "Why did you meet with your sister Lu Yongde yesterday?" ”

Yao Shen Xing didn't expect him to say something suddenly, and his expression immediately became unnatural, and he couldn't speak for a while. When the men in the hall heard that he had met the Japanese, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at the two of them. Shen Mo waved his cane on the ground and said, "Look at what!" Hurry up and pack up! ”

The old boss was angry, and those children were all trembling, and hurriedly started packing again. Shen Mo raised his crutches and pointed at the two: "You two, come with me to the back room." Yao Shenxing knew that Shen Shenxing's mind was silent, and in the current chaos, he did not allow his family's hearts to fluctuate. So he and Xu Yicheng followed Shen Mo to the back room, and Yao Shenxing did not forget to cover the door.

"What's going on?" Shen Mo sat on the Taishi's chair, a little tired and a little annoyed. Xu Yicheng said about the Nancheng Warehouse, and when he was silent, he listened to it fairly calmly at first, but when he heard that it involved smoke, his eyes immediately changed. The corner of his eye squinted: "Be careful, is this true?" ”

Yao Shenxing hurriedly replied respectfully: "That's the case." Yesterday, a person named Sister Xiaolu Yongde came to the store, saying that he was representing the Chinese terroir delegation and wanted to talk about cooperation with our five pulses. He made an appointment at the Nancheng warehouse, and I went to the appointment. As for the smoke or something, I don't understand it, and I don't pay attention to it. ”

Silently said: "Talking about cooperation? What do the Japanese ask you to work with? ”

Yao Shenxing said: "The Japanese government and several large conglomerates intend to spend huge sums of money to purchase antiques in China, and this China terroir investigation group is one of the groups that conducted the preliminary investigation. They know the status of our five veins in the antique world, so they hope to cooperate with us to complete this acquisition plan. ”

said silently: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" Yao Shenxing said: "There have been so many things at home recently, I don't want you to be distracted by the old man." What's more, my sister Lu Yongde just mentioned an intention to me, and the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet. What I think is that it is not too late for you to make a decision when the other party formally proposes it. ”

Xu Yicheng stood in the middle of the back room, clasped his arms with his hands and said coldly: "So, are you planning to steal our Chinese things with the Japanese?" Yao Shenxing glanced at him and didn't understand very much: "It's all things that are available on the market, the price is clearly marked, and the money is paid in one hand and delivered in the other, what kind of theft is it?" Isn't it different if the Chinese buy it, but the Japanese buy it? Isn't it all about buying and selling? ”

"Pat your own conscience, the Japanese will be so simple? You're a thief! ”

Yao Shenxing said calmly: "It's not that Wumai hasn't done Japanese business before. People talk about it, give money happily, and know the goods, and they buy them back and put them in the museum, carefully enshrined them, which is much better than the Chinese buyers. He looked at Shen Mo again, "This time the Japanese government's acquisition plan is very large, and the amount is amazing, even if our five veins are just in the middle, we can have a huge commission income." ”

Xu Yicheng reprimanded: "You are for this money, but you don't even want the face of the festival and the five veins!" ”

Yao Shenxing was furious when he heard this, he stepped forward and glared at Xu Yicheng: "What qualifications do you have to say that!?" You went to Tsinghua University by yourself, and you comfortably read your archaeology and family affairs, have you ever cared about it? In the past few years, the situation has deteriorated, if it weren't for the support of Old Man Shen and me, everyone in this family would have to drink the northwest wind! You shout a few words of righteousness and ease, but have you managed the life and death of the five veins? ”

Xu Yicheng-for-tat: "You can make a fortune by stealing, and you can make more money by tobacco, why don't you do it?" A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. The reason why the five veins can be inherited for so many years is because they abide by their own duties and cannot earn any money. ”

Shen Mo saw that the two were about to quarrel again, and coughed: "How big is this acquisition plan?" ”

Yao Shenxing said: "They have a book of "Zhina Gu Dong Account", which has a detailed list, I estimate that there must be thousands of pieces, each of which is a good thing. He added, "Prudence is not a matter of being greedy for money. If you don't think it's right, I'll go back to them. ”

Shen Mo unexpectedly didn't make a decision immediately this time, but asked, "Have you read that book of "The Account of the Bone of the Bone of Zhina"?" ”

"Yes. Sister Lu Yongde lent me a glance, but didn't let me transcribe it. ”

"I ask you, you tell the truth. Are there any shady goods in this list? ”

Antiques that appear on the market and have been played with for a while are called decorated goods; Those that have just been dug out of the grave or from the ground are called raw goods; There is also an antique that everyone knows is lying in a certain tomb, but no one has dug it up yet, which is called yin goods. The quantity of yin goods is very small, but the pieces are famous and valuable. For example, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" authentic work, everyone knows that Tang Taizong ordered the burial before his death, and now it is under the Zhaoling Tomb, which is the most famous Yin goods.

When Shen Mo asked if there were any dirty goods in this list, he was actually asking if the Japanese had any plans to dig graves in China. You know, it's one thing to help the Japanese identify antiques; Taking the Japanese to rob the graves is another matter. At that time, the term "traitor" was not yet popular, and if you helped the Japanese to do this kind of thing, the reputation of the five veins would be lost.

Yao Shenxing's muscles trembled, and he knelt on the ground: "Most of the lists I saw were cooked goods, mostly in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. It is clear how important this is to be cautious. ”

Xu Yicheng keenly captured his diction: "Mostly? So, you still see a few shady goods? Yao Shenxing's face showed a hint of annoyance, but Xu Yicheng held on tightly, and he had to reply helplessly: "That antique account is sorted by age, I accidentally turned to the last page, and only saw such a yin goods, marked as Qing Dynasty." ”

"What is it?"

"Emperor Qianlong's Nine Dragons Sword." Yao Shenxing replied.

Hearing this word, Xu Yicheng's heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly thought of the sword shadow sketch hidden in Chen Weili's letterhead.

The sketch was not very clear, and it was only half of it, and its provenance was unknown. In the previous investigation, most of the evidence had nothing to do with this sword, Xu Yicheng almost gave up this clue, but he didn't expect that now he actually found a corresponding record in the "Zhina Bone Dong Account".

The longsword, which had a vague shape, suddenly jumped out of a sketch and became a living and palpable object.

Shen Moqi said: "In "Zhina Bone Dong Account", there is only such a thing from the Qing Dynasty? Yao Shenxing said yes, silently rubbing the tip of the cane, his eyes were puzzled: "The Qing Dynasty is not far away, the Japanese admire the Tang Dynasty the most, and it is normal that they are not interested in Qing antiques, but why do they have a soft spot for this Nine Dragons Sword?" ”

Xu Yicheng hurriedly asked Shen Mo what the hell was this. Shen Mo stroked his hair and smiled: "There are many people who know about this thing, but there are few people who can see it." Coincidentally, our five veins have a little bit of a relationship with it, so I still know a little bit about it. ”

It is said that in the 56th year of Qianlong, there was a strong wind in Beijing, and the period did not stop. Finally, after the wind stopped, the Forbidden City suddenly thundered, successively chopped seven or eight precious trees, and even killed a small eunuch, Emperor Qianlong thought this was a bad omen, and found a master surnamed Lu, called Lu Qixiang to tell fortunes. Lu Linxiang told him that this wind is an imperial wind, and as soon as it appears, there is a danger of changing the dynasty.

Qianlong claimed to be a perfect old man, so he was very uneasy about this statement, and asked Lu Linxiang what to do. Lu Linxiang said that this wind is blowing from the underworld, and a true dragon must enter the underworld to suppress it. Qianlong was furious and said that you are asking me to die, and you want to kill him. Lu Linxiang hurriedly offered a strategy, suggesting casting a magic soldier and letting Qianlong carry it with him. On the day of death, this sword is buried in the mausoleum and placed close to the body. In this way, Qianlong can carry a sword into the yin and cut off the imperial wind that blows the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, which can ensure the eternal stability of the country.

So Qianlong summoned skilled craftsmen into the palace and spent three years casting a sword. According to Lu Linxiang's guidance, the hilt of the sword is in the Central Plains style, but the sword body is slightly curved, incorporating the style of Mongolian swords. Nine dragon pattern gold lines on the upper side symbolize "ninety-nine to one". Ninety-nine is the extreme yang of numbers, and it has great restraint power against the ghosts of the underworld. Qianlong put his mind on this sword, and did his best to do extravagant things, the sword body is wrong with gold and patterns, the sword grid is carved from a whole piece of jade, and the scabbard is wrapped in shark skin from the South China Sea, and it is inlaid with more than a dozen gems and pearls. Later, Qianlong died, and this sword followed him into Yuling, so no one in later generations has ever seen this treasure.

After listening to this description, Xu Yicheng confirmed that this Nine Dragons Sword should be the sword shadow drawn on that piece of paper. However, there is still a doubt, the part of the sword body of the sword shadow was painted twice, once slightly curved, which is the same as the Mongolian sword style of the Nine Dragons Sword, but once it is straight - I don't know why.

There is another question. This sword was buried after Qianlong's death, so how do the Japanese know the style of this sword? Although the shadow of the sword on that picture is not very clear, the details are very clear, and if you don't know its shape, you can't draw it in such detail.

Of course, these two are just innocuous questions. What's really strange is its value.

The Nine Dragons Sword is indeed precious, but in the end, it is just a luxury craft. If you talk about value, it can only be ranked in the middle of the yin goods. If the Japanese want this thing, they must dig up Yuling, but there are too many good things in Yuling, Qianlong is the largest collector in ancient times, and there are countless calligraphy and painting antiques in his hands, and most of them are buried with him. The value of this Nine Dragons Sword in it is only in the middle of the ranks, why do they have a soft spot for this and deliberately write it into the antique account solemnly?

Could it be that the Nine Dragons Sword is just an introduction, and what the Japanese covet is actually the incomparably rich collection in Yuling?

Thinking of this, Xu Yicheng's brows jumped. Although these doubts have not been clarified, there is no doubt that the Japanese want to attack Tanglin. Chen Weili must have been aware of the conspiracy of the China Terroir Investigation Group, so he was killed.

Tanglin has really been unfavorable this year, and it was actually favored by two gangs of Chinese and Japanese bandits at the same time.

Although Shen Mo didn't know as clearly as Xu Yicheng, he also tasted that the taste was wrong. He said to Yao Shenxing: "Don't go to see that Japanese in the future, let's move to the countryside first, and wait to avoid the limelight for a while." ”

Yao Shen said hurriedly: "However, you can't ruin such a big business with his words." ”

He said silently: "If the Japanese really come for Kailing, what will you do?" ”

"Naturally, you can't participate." Yao Shenxing said without hesitation.

Shen Mo sighed: "This is the difference between you and Yicheng. You won't participate, but he'll try his best to stop it, and he won't go back by hitting his head against the south wall. ”

Yao Shenxing heard him compare the two again, his brows moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Since you are more interested in Xu Yicheng, I am willing to let Xian." He shook his head silently: "You kid, you have lost your temper again if you say a few words." Walk with the palm of your eyes, and you are inferior to him; In charge of the family business, he is not as good as you. The big family of the five veins has to have a stable person to manage it. ”

When Yao Shenxing heard this, his mood calmed down a little. He turned his head to see how Xu Yicheng reacted, but his eyes swept and the whole person was stunned. Xu Yicheng didn't know when he had left, and he didn't even say hello.

Shen Mo squinted his eyes, and his expression was a little complicated. When Xu Yicheng left just now, he saw it, but he didn't say anything. He knows Xu Yicheng's temperament too well, and no one wants to drag him back when he takes a step. In fact, when I was young, I was not like this, but unfortunately I was slowly smoothed out by the world, and I can only feel nostalgia occasionally.

He flicked his fingers self-deprecatingly, and said to Yao Shen: "It's not too early, you go and prepare." ”

Yao Shenxing cautiously leaned forward and asked hesitantly, "The matter of Tanglin, you really don't need to give any support to a city?" Even though he is sexually intrusive, this is a big deal after all, and he is quite weak to go to meet the Japanese secretly.

Shen Mo glanced at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "You are almost the master of the five families, don't leave anything to your own temperament." ”

Yao Shenxing bowed his head in agreement, and then turned to leave, leaving Shen Mo to sit alone in the room, not moving for a long time.

Xu Yicheng left the Five Veins in a hurry, and the appearance of the Nine Dragons Sword finally gave him a solid foundation for the investigation he had been investigating. But instead of making him feel relieved, this discovery made him feel that the whole situation was even more bizarre.

Wang Shaoyi set his sights on the tomb of Cixi, and the Japanese set their sights on the tomb of Qianlong. In the Japanese embassy, Chen Weili's cold body was lying, and there was a Hai Lanzhu trapped in Ping'an City. Each of them is a shocking event, and every one cannot be ignored. With a thousand clues, Rao Yicheng's mind was a little overwhelmed for a while.

At this time, there were no rickshaws on the street, and he kept his head down and sped all the way down the road, thinking about these things over and over again in his mind. For a while, I felt that this matter was very important, and if I let it go, I was afraid that it would lead to a shocking robbery; After a while, he hesitated, because he was facing a behemoth, and he was really beyond his control. He was so swaying, when he looked up, he found that he had unconsciously arrived in front of the Union Hospital.

Union Hospital was also much more chaotic than usual at this time, and the doctors and nurses were in a hurry, all talking about the situation in a whisper. At the front entrance of the hospital stood a line of foreign soldiers, loaded with guns. This is supposed to be the guards put together by the embassies to prevent the attack on a neutral institution such as a hospital.

Xu Yicheng walked into the hospital, and Mrs. Xu had just finished her night shift and was sleeping on the marching bed. As soon as Xu Yicheng walked to the door of the room, she opened her eyes as if she had telepathy, and sneered first. Xu Yicheng then remembered that he was still wearing the antique robe and small round sunglasses, and he had not spared time to replace them.

He said I was in a hurry, didn't buy breakfast, and was about to enter the room. Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and said lightly, "Don't come in." Xu Yicheng was stunned, Mrs. Xu got off the bed and walked to the door with a big belly: "I'm afraid that as soon as you come in, you will be reluctant to leave, which will delay your business." ”

Xu Yicheng smiled a little embarrassedly, not knowing what to say. Mrs. Xu lightly tapped his forehead with her fingers: "You are a person, you have something in your heart, you can't hide it at all." Xu Yicheng rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Hey, that's the ......" Mrs. Xu stopped him: "You don't need to explain it to me." I don't understand what you said, and even if I do, I can't help, so it's better not to know if I'm in a hurry. What you have to do must be important. Rest assured, Union Hospital is protected by embassies of various countries, and no matter how chaotic it is, it will not be anywhere. You go about your business, don't worry about it. ”

Xu Yicheng reluctantly touched her bulging belly, and Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled: "Do you feel it?" The little thing kicks you a little. Xu Yicheng squatted down and put his ear to his belly and listened carefully. She bent her eyebrows, folded the cleanly washed white handkerchief, put it into Xu Yicheng's arms, and gently pushed: "You go quickly." ”

"When this time is over, I'll bring you pink fish, and this time put more spicy seeds."

Xu Yicheng kissed his wife, then turned to leave. His eyes were clear and firm again, as if all confusion had been filtered out.

Xu Yicheng's next destination is the clan. Tanglin is under the control of the Qing clan, and this matter cannot be bypassed by them in any way. Although he had already sent Huang Kewu to report, as soon as the clue of Qianlong's Nine Dragons Sword surfaced, everything was different, and he had to go over in person.

"What do you say? The Japanese are planning to attack Yuling? The bowl in Yu Fang's hand fell to the ground with a thud and shattered. His white, chubby face, without a trace of wrinkles, was distorted by extreme shock.

Xu Yicheng nodded.

"Wow, no wonder they proposed to go to Tanglin to investigate, it turned out that they didn't have a good heart." Yu Fang put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room, shaking his head as he paced.

The rich husband said coldly on the side: "I just said that they didn't have a good heart, but you want to agree." ”

Yu Fang impatiently knocked his head with a folding fan: "It's not my decision to do this, it's what those princes in Tianjin agreed to." Ahem, who knows how much they received from the Japanese! He walked a few more steps, looked up and said to Xu Yicheng: "When will the Japanese do it?" ”

Xu Yicheng said: "The Japanese only came to one Chinese terroir inspection group, and the manpower was limited. They are likely to be looking for a local partner, which I thought was Wang Shaoyi, but now it seems that it is not. The missing Sakai Daisuke, I'm afraid it's just to find the right person, right? ”

"Then when will Wang Shaoyi do it?" Yu Fang asked again. Compared with the Japanese, to be honest, he is more jealous of evil Zhuge . Xu Yicheng said: "He detained Hai Lanzhu in Ping'an City and urged me to go back to the capital to find the buyer, indicating that he is determined to win Tanglin." As long as the ginger stonemason is found, I am afraid that the action will be within this month. ”

Yu Fang thought about it, said let's take care of it first, and said to the rich husband: "Contact Ah Hexuan, let him gather all the people under him, step up the inspection, and give me a good spirit." ”

Xu Yicheng deducted a basin of cold water at this time: "Now Zhang Dashuai will leave Beijing immediately, no one will be in charge, if I am Wang Shaoyi, I must lead the army directly into Tanglin in the name of moving defense or exercises, and dig graves with open fire." Ah Hexuan's dozens of people, can they stop a regiment of others? ”

Yu Fang pondered, and suddenly showed a sad face, Xu Yicheng glanced at him with disdain, this guy seems to be calm, but in fact, he is not much less than his younger brother Yu Peng, and he is okay with playing with caution, and he is really confused when he encounters a big event. Yu Fang asked Xu Yicheng what to do, if he could set up a bureau to deceive him.

"Wang Shaoyi is too cunning, and his strength is strong. Play smart with him and you'll be blown off with one shot. Xu Yicheng shook his head and denied it. What happened to him in the netherworld of Ping'an City impressed him too much, and even if he was full of wisdom, it would be useless under absolute power.

"So what do you think you should do?"

"There is only one way to deal with Wang Shaoyi, to fight hard! As long as there are enough people to protect the mausoleum, Wang Shaoyi can be kept out of Dongling, and it won't take long, one day will be enough. Tomb robbery, after all, is a taboo thing. If he had known that he had been prepared in advance, he would have retreated. Your clan has been operating in the capital for so many years, can you still make up this point? ”

Yu Fang listened, but there was no joy on his face: "In the past few years, the clan has saved some money, and the network is quite wide, but there are more losers. If you donate money to start a building, it's good to say, it's ...... to pull a team to fight."

Xu Yicheng frowned and said, "Four hundred...... No, three hundred people can't pull it out? ”

Yu Fang shook his head and raised his fingers: "Let's not talk about money, where can I find a strong man in this chaos?" Even if you find it, will there be a war? Can you stop the gang of evil Zhuge bandits? Besides, even if everyone is together, where can I get the gun? How do you replenish your ammunition? Speaking of this, Yu Fang squinted at Xu Yicheng again, "Besides, since Zhang Xun, the clan has been suspicious, and even the two dragons and pearls on the carriage are suspected. If the clan pulled out such a large army in the city of Beijing at once, wouldn't it be death? ”

After complaining, Yu Fang sat back on the chair in frustration, opened the folding fan with a snap, and fanned it in vain, completely losing the strength of the wisdom bead in his hand. The rich husband snorted and said hatefully: "It's a big deal to fill my old bones there!" ”

Xu Yicheng looked at this old man, he was not as bloody as an old eunuch, and thought to himself that with people like you, it was really unreasonable for the Manchu Dynasty to not die. Xu Yicheng was helpless and angry when he thought that his only allies were these guys.

The three of them were silent in the room for a while. The rich husband suddenly thought of something, and walked up to Yu and whispered a few words. Yu Fang's eyes lit up, and he "snapped" the folding fan in his hand, and said to Xu Yicheng: "Mr. Xu, is it just as long as you find an army and fight Wang Shaoyi for a day?" Xu Yicheng said: "This is naturally the best way, but can't you pull up the team?" ”

Yu Fang had a little joy on his face this time: "The sect has no soldiers, but we can borrow it." The rich husband just remembered a person, if he could get his help, the matter would be settled. "Xu Yicheng" Oh? He looked up.
