The next day, the sky was clear, spring was strong, it was a good weather for travel, Chen An was dressed neatly and ate some breakfast casually, then picked up his bags and pushed the door out.

Lock the door and walk all the way to Dongmenfang City, near the inner city. If the light is bright today, the market is also very lively, and people come and go.

Chen An seemed to be strolling around, but in fact he had a clear purpose, but he came to the door of a pharmacy in a moment.

This pharmacy is located in the middle of nowhere, the façade is narrow, and the layout inside is even more messy, no wonder there are no half customers. An old shopkeeper with gray hair was lying on the counter weakly, slowly counting the accounts. It's really incomprehensible that there is still something to settle in this columbian situation.

Chen An stepped forward and knocked on the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, haven't the medicinal materials I ordered last time have arrived?"

The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen An, then lowered his head again to continue settling the accounts, and said half-deadly: "Maybe it's here, and the guest officer will go and see for himself." ”

A gleam flashed in Chen An's eyes and he walked towards the medicine shop. The pharmacy was full of rows of grid-like medicine cabinets, and when he came to drawer No. 97, he saw that it was marked: "Shanqi, produced in southern Xinjiang." He pulled the drawer open, and there were sun-dried stalks of grass lying inside.

He pondered for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, I heard that the southern Xinjiang herbal medicine market is good recently, I am ready to prepare more, I don't know if there are any good recommendations." ”

The half-dead voice of the old man in front of him came: "Angelica, Chuanbei, Sedum, and Schisandra are all excellent medicinal materials, which are used to hoard Juqi and ensure that you make a lot of money." Among them, Chuanbei and Sedum are the cheapest, even if you are small and thin, you can eat it, you must know that I have no bullying here, and I am the most full of catties. ”

Hearing this, Chen An rubbed his chin with his fingertips and thought for a long time before opening the drawer of No. 178 Chuanbei. He didn't grab the medicine, but groped on the inside of the drawer, only to hear a snap, Chen An's fingertips picked a buckle. He casually pushed the drawer in, and opened it again, this time as if by magic, the herbs in it disappeared completely, and in its place was a letter lying quietly in it, from which he took out the letter and opened it to look at it, and there was no head on the letter, no payment. None of the contents of the letter are complete sentences, but fragmentary phrases about time and place, and a person's name: Nie Chong.

He opened the drawer of Sedum in the same way, took out a letter as well, and looked at it.

After a while, he raised his head and shouted: "I decided to ask for Chuanbei, I don't know what the price." ”

The shopkeeper replied, "There will be no counter-offer for one pound and three pounds." ”

Chen An first took Chuanbei's letter into his arms, and carefully put Sedum's letter back in its place, closed the drawer, and then walked back, came to the old shopkeeper and took out ten taels of silver and put it on the counter and said: "Three taels of silver, this is ten taels of silver, count it as a deposit, write a paperwork." ”

The old man in charge stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of rice paper full of words: "It has been written a long time ago, take it, and pick up the goods on time." ”

Chen An took the paper, only to see that it was written: "Nie Chong, a native of Lingshan County, southern Xinjiang, Chinese New Year's Eve, taught martial arts by strangers when he was young, learned the Qimen blade and iron claws, and the moves were tricky and strange, extremely difficult to deal with. In the fifth year of Shaozong, there was a great drought in Kunyang County, and Nie Chong's family had a cool official to collect grain, and he was indignant and killed the official for a while, gathered nearly 1,000 mountain people, and established Jiaolong Village on the middle of the Sichuan Road, and did all kinds of evil for three years. Within three months, all the Jiaolong Village will be eliminated. ”

After reading this, Chen An casually rubbed the piece of paper into fly ash and turned to leave. In fact, this is a secret mission base of the Dark Division, and there are many secret locations like this for the Dark Division killers to undertake missions. After all, the imperial court represents the image of justice and light, and most of the mission books of the Holy Court are more loving words such as escorting back to Beijing and arresting and bringing to justice. How could such discordant words as extermination, extermination, and annihilation appear in the mission book of the Holy Court?

But sometimes these things have to be done, because most of these things represent the dignity of the imperial court. It's like the one named Nie Chong, a mud leg, how can he gather nearly a thousand people and the government to do it against him. Most of them are supported by people in the court, but there are more things to do with fire, and most of them are too supportive, and they are backing up the master's bridge. At this time, for the sake of the dignity of the imperial court, it was necessary to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots without leaving a living mouth, so these strongholds for receiving tasks also came into being.

Most of the rewards for these tasks are gold and silver, and some of them will be credited to the credit book, but this kind of credit is difficult to declare, and everyone just knows it. Just like Chen An destroyed Mingjian Villa and attacked and killed Zhang Yong, but on the bright side, Mingjian Villa suffered from the plague, Zhang Yong committed suicide by poisoning, and Chen An had nothing to do at all. And Chen Anguan was promoted, and the money was taken, and it was not delayed, just a superficial article.

Out of Dongmenfang City, Chen An went straight to the inner city, and after a while, he entered the Dark Division Yamen to report.

The Dark Division's yamen is in the Holy Court. The Holy Court is composed of three divisions and six halls, the Ming Division is responsible for the honor guard and the guard is the façade of the Holy Court, and the Dark Division is responsible for spying and assassination, which is the real frightening place of the Holy Court, and the most mysterious Blood Division, Chen An is not very clear about the members inside, but he knows that every time the Blood Division is dispatched, it is a massacre. When it comes to the case for which the blood division is responsible, it is either an inexplicable disappearance or an extermination. As for the six halls, they are divided into criminal law, law, discipline, finance, cardinal, and organ, which are respectively responsible for extorting confessions by torture, training newcomers, rectifying discipline, raising funds, transferring personnel, and analyzing intelligence.

Ming Si is resident in the palace, and no one knows where its location is because the Blood Division has always been mysterious, only the Dark Division is located in the headquarters of the Holy Court, so that there is always a gloomy atmosphere lingering in the entire Holy Court, so as long as people who don't have problems in their hearts themselves will not like it here.

Chen An was in a good mood early in the morning, but as soon as he entered the gate of the dark division, he was gloomy, not because he was in a bad mood, but because he was much more solemn. After receiving the official document at the Yamen of Yousi, Chen An walked into a errand room, where more than ten people were sitting, and when he saw Chen An entering the door, he quickly stood up and stroked his chest and saluted.

Chen An is not a chick, and he is also familiar with this battle, so he didn't say much, he directly took out a roster he had just received and named him.

"Golden Scale Guard Zhang Zhong, where is it?"

"The subordinates are here. A white-faced man in his early thirties stepped forward and intervened in the promise, this person was calm and calm, steady in the lower plate, and his hands were thick and thick, and he should practice kung fu in his hands.

"Golden Scale Guard Sun Chong, where is it?"

"The subordinates are here. The answer was a strong man in his forties, with a scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his eye to his chin, hideous and unusual. Standing in front of Chen An, his body was full of qi and blood, and he was practicing kung fu, and he had reached the peak of the realm, and he was able to do it.

Chen An nodded and continued, "The Golden Scale Guard is Kongcheng, where is it?"

"The subordinates are here. This time it was a short, lean man with two whiskers on his lips that looked very obscene. Seeing that his feet are weak, he should be a person who specializes in light body kung fu.

"Golden Scale Guard Zhang Xia, where is it?" Chen An continued.

"The subordinates are here. ”

Chen An was stunned for a moment, and it was a young woman who promised her, like everyone else, wearing a standard dark soft armor, with a black coat on the outside, but it seemed that for the convenience of movement, her soft armor was more close-fitting, outlining a beautiful curve. A wisp of green silk hangs down on his head to cover half of his cheeks, which is deep in the hidden way of the dark division, and the other half of his face and lips are lined with bright red by snow skin, coupled with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, even the low-hanging black hair can't stop it, giving people a sense of ability and coldness.

The Holy Court was independent of the imperial court bureaucracy, and the capable were in power, regardless of men and women, but women were relatively rare. So Chen An was only slightly surprised, and continued to read.

"Golden Scale Guard Zhu Qi, where is it?"

"The subordinates are here. What caught Chen An's eyes was a fat man who was even bigger than Xu Yuan, with a round face that was white and clean, and his facial features were crowded together, no matter how he looked at it, he gave people a feeling of smiling and grinning, like a businessman more than a sergeant. And his biggest characteristic is that he is fat and full, without half a stack.

Chen An glanced at him and turned to the second page of the roster, continuing: "Silver Scale Guard Zhao Bing,......"

The roster in his hand recorded five Golden Scale Guards and ten Silver Scale Guards, who were the people in the house. As for the remaining Green Scale Guards, they are not qualified to stand here, and most of the people in the school that Xu Qian gave him are Green Scale Guards.

In fact, as long as you enter the grade of gold and silver blue, you are all good hands, and the difference between gold and silver and green is only in the size of the meritorious service, of course, to a certain extent, it also distinguishes the level of ability, after all, those who can make meritorious contributions are also capable people. It's rare to get this far by luck.

Looking at this group of low-eyed subordinates, Chen An didn't know how to continue for a while, thinking that he would have to show his hands to shock them, but he was ready. You must know that when he first met Xu Yuan and them, he killed several people in a row to shock everyone and became the undisputed leader. These people in front of him are many times stronger than Xu Yuan's green scale guard, and they don't have the slightest arrogance, and they don't dare to say much, but they look like they are looking at the horse. This made Chen An satisfied, but also a little depressed.

As everyone knows, the dark division is different from anywhere else, the first thing people who enter here learn is the word "forbearance", although people who practice martial arts are inevitably full of blood and hot heads, but they have been forbearance for many years, and they will get used to it.

Chen An is famous for his murder, and these people are all alert people, so naturally they will not touch his brows like some stunned young people and be the first bird.

As a result, everyone is happy now.

Chen An looked around at everyone, paused and really didn't know what to say, so he ordered: "After clicking on the roster, even if we know each other, don't talk nonsense, let's go now." With that, he turned around and left.

After he left, everyone looked at each other, thinking that the new official had taken office three times, and the new governor would make such an inspiring remark at length, but who knew that the other party didn't even want to say a word of nonsense, and left directly, leaving everyone with a capable and pragmatic back.

Everyone came back to their senses and went out to follow. Pack your bags, get on your horses, and gallop out of the capital. After traveling for an hour, he came to a military town in the south, gathered the remaining more than 100 Qinglu Guards, and headed south.
