Using the military teleportation array in Donghuang Town, Ren Tianxiang and the others came to the teleportation station located ten kilometers north of Mian Shi City, the capital of Weidu Province.

Next, they had to walk through the ten kilometers and pass directly through the city, and then walk another ten kilometers south to reach the teleportation station south of the city.

Because Ren Tianxiang has the emperor's letter of appointment, his official rank has temporarily become much higher, and now his position can be compared with the third-in-command and fourth-in-command of the three ministries of the first government.

With Ren Tianxiang's relationship, the military teleportation array in Donghuang Town allowed them to ride their horses and jump outside the city through the military teleportation array. However, because of the frantic surge of spatial elements, their horses are a little tired, and these are not something that the soldiers of the teleportation array can solve.

In order to relieve the horse's fatigue due to teleportation a little, Ren Tianxiang deliberately slowed down his speed. It just so happened that he hadn't been to the south of Star City either, so he just took advantage of this time to enjoy some of the surrounding scenery.

Ren Tianxiang didn't worry about the time, anyway, they would definitely be able to arrive in Jincheng today, and if they went early, they would leave for Linshi City tomorrow, so it didn't matter if they arrived early or late today.

As he walked, Wang Hongyu immediately took a step forward and walked side by side with Ren Tianxiang.

Ren Tianxiang was discussing with Ren Tianqing at this time how the surrounding scenery looked better than the Dragon King Empire, when he heard Wang Hongyu say beside him:

"Lord Ren, I don't know about Linshi City, what do you think?"

"What do I think?" Ren Tianxiang looked at Wang Hongyu, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

Wang Hongyu was only a commissioner of the Criminal Prison Division, not even the most prestigious commissioner, and he had no reason to ask such a question. So is it meant that someone else is asking about these words?

After a short period of thought, Ren Tianxiang made an expression of serious thinking, and then said slowly:

"If you want me to come and see, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this Zou Chang. I don't know much about the Star Empire, but something similar is actually happening there...... For example, when the inspector wanted to check the accounts, the house where the account books were kept suddenly burned down, and all the account books were destroyed......

"It's just that since Zou Chang dares to assassinate that first-level prosecutor, he must be completely sure that we can't find any handle on him. In other words, in fact, the difficulty of investigating this matter is much more difficult than we thought. ”

Ren Tianxiang said the set of rhetoric that he had said with Xingheng and Li Siming before, which was barely perfunctory to Wang Hongyu...... No, it should be said that it is Li Siming behind him.

And just when he was communicating with Wang Hongyu like this, Ren Tianqing also heard his words and immediately exclaimed:

"What are you talking about? A first-level prosecutor was assassinated?"

Overheard this shocking thing, Ren Tianqing's little face was suddenly full of surprise. Ren Tianxiang hadn't told them that there was such a dangerous inside story about this matter.

"Well, that's true, but I didn't say it before in order to prevent Sister Ling and Sister Liuli from worrying. Facing Ren Tianqing's surprise and the inquiring eyes of Luo and Mo Yan, Ren Tianxiang also nodded calmly and said so.

"The general process of this matter is similar to what I told you before, that is, the matter of the first-level prosecutor is a little different.

"Because of the investigation of Zou Chang, the first-level prosecutor was assassinated, although we have not found any evidence that can prove that the death of the first-level prosecutor is related to Zou Chang, but this matter is basically certain.

"But you can rest assured, it is precisely because of the death of that first-level prosecutor that His Majesty has been alerted, so he will send an immortal-level monk like me to lead the team to continue the investigation, and Hong Yu and Yixian are both saint-level monks, and it is more than enough to deal with Zou Chang and the possible killers behind him.

"And this matter was given to me by His Majesty, you have no reason to interfere, and I will not let you interfere. When you get to the place, you can choose to wait for me in Jincheng or follow me to Linshi City, but please don't affect our investigation. ”

Ren Tianxiang's words seemed to be a little ruthless, Luo and Ren Tianqing followed him because they were worried about Ren Tianxiang's safety, and they also wanted to help Ren Tianxiang to a certain extent, but now they were directly rejected by Ren Tianxiang.

However, what Ren Tianxiang said is not unreasonable, Ren Tianqing They are members of the Dragon Regiment, and Ren Tianxiang, a person with a temporary official position, is not good for them to directly intervene in this matter, after all, the supreme commander of the Dragon Regiment is the commander of the three armies and not the emperor.

It's just that Ren Tianqing, who was worried about his brother, immediately stood up on the stupid hair on his head after listening to what Ren Tianxiang said, as if he wanted to reason with Ren Tianxiang.

However, she was caught up from behind by Los and quickly pulled up, not having time to reason with Ren Tianxiang.

I saw that Luo Si had already understood what Ren Tianxiang meant, and nodded again and again and said, "Okay Tianxiang, I understand the relationship between the imperial court and the Dragon Regiment." Then we won't meddle in your business this time. But if you are in danger in this matter, and Mr. Wang Hongyu and Mr. Wang Yat-sen are not around, I hope you can let us help you. ”

Luo Si had obviously heard from Ren Tianxiang's words that he wanted to express his meaning, so he would pull Ren Tianqing to prevent her from being willful. And he said these words to Ren Tianxiang, firstly, he wanted to express to Ren Tianxiang their desire to do their part, and secondly, he vaguely told Ren Tianqing the hidden meaning of Ren Tianxiang.

Although Ren Tianqing was not very sensitive to this aspect of things, she was not stupid, and she could easily hear what Los had already explained clearly, so she could only nod honestly and agree to Los Rose's request.

And Ren Tianxiang has no reason to refuse, in fact, if Los and the others have been following him, he should be more relieved, after all, this is a good brother who has been on the battlefield with him and can rest assured that he will hand over his back to the other party.

And Wang Hongyu saw that Ren Tianxiang was finished talking with Ren Tianqing and Luo Si, so he opened his mouth and continued:

"Does Lord Ren know anything about Linshi City?"

Hearing Wang Hongyu's voice, Ren Tianxiang turned his head again, thought for a moment, and then said to Wang Hongyu: "I haven't learned much about this. Hongyu, do you know about Linshi City?"

"I barely know something. Wang Hongyu nodded and explained, "Since I heard about this task from the chief referee, Yixian and I have gone back to read the information carefully. ”

"That's really hard work for you. Ren Tianxiang nodded and said, "Then you can tell me, in this Linshi City, is there anything that Zou Chang is most prone to corruption?"

Ren Tianxiang's thinking is actually very simple, since he guessed that Zou Chang has corrupt behavior, then start from the thing where he is most likely to be corrupt, as long as he is really corrupt, then he will definitely leave clues.

"If you want to say the most susceptible to corruption...... I'm afraid it's going to be the winding mountain road south of Stone City. ”

"Is there such a big project in Linshi City?"

Ren Tianxiang was a little surprised, he had briefly heard about the situation of Linshi City before—this city built on the edge of the mountain range near the Xifeng Basin was very underdeveloped, and this also caused the economic situation of Linshi City.

However, Ren Tianxiang was planning to get information about Linshi City from the prosecutor team after arriving in Jincheng, so he did not investigate the information about Linshi City when he was in Star City.

It seems that this Zou Chang knows very well that "if you want to get rich, you must first make trees...... Build roads first".

"Can you tell me more about this winding road?"

"Well, yes.

"This winding mountain road was built by Zou Chang when he officially became the lord of Linshi City. At that time, he played the banner that Linshicheng wanted to get a piece of the business from Xifeng Province, so he had to break away from the commercial system of Xifeng Province and find another way to find a market that belonged to Linshicheng. ”

Hearing Wang Hongyu say this, Ren Tianxiang nodded slightly. Although he was not very familiar with these things, he understood something at the bottom of the day.

The geographical location of Xifeng Province is very special, and there are only a few passages that can enter and exit the entire basin terrain, and all of them are in the hands of Jincheng.

And the bulk trade of Xifeng Province that could not be transported through the teleportation array had to go through the trade routes of Xifeng Province and the outside world, and the control of these trade routes was all under the control of Jincheng.

That is to say, if the business of Xifeng Province wants to develop, it must rely on Jincheng distribution, and without Jincheng to preside over the overall situation, no city in Xifeng Province can trade with the outside world.

What Linshi City did was actually very simple, which was to build a winding mountain road, break through the blockade of the Xifeng Mountain Range around the Xifeng Great Basin, and independently open up a trade route.

As the starting point of the winding mountain road, if other cities also want to pass through here, then Linshi City will inevitably receive the dividends brought by the commercial prosperity.

I have to say that Zou Chang's vision is very vicious, after all, the Xifeng Mountain Range is so vast, and it is pitiful to be able to establish a winding mountain road to a neighboring province.

"Zou Chang also has some business acumen. Ren Tianxiang's evaluation of Zou Chang was also very objective, "How much did this winding mountain road cost?"

"If I'm not mistaken...... 300,000 gold coins. ”

"300,000?" Ren Tianxiang raised his eyebrows, this number seems to be a bit big......

"Yes, 300,000. At that time, Xifeng Province allocated 200,000 yuan to Linshicheng to build Panshan Road, but later because the allocation was insufficient, Zou Chang borrowed 100,000 yuan from Jincheng Jinpu as the lord of Linshicheng, and then Panshan Road was built......"
