"Demon puppeteers are very rare, and they are not the cabbage that you can see in the market. The demon puppet that appeared in the Green Villa is likely to be related to Situ Yu's murderer. ”

"It's not going to be the same, is it?"

"Probably not." Without Dong Rui's identification, He Lingchuan himself could deduce, "That demon puppet master is extremely difficult to control the three demon puppets such as the Hing-tailed Tiger." The assassination of Situ Yu was decisive, swift and calculated, and it could not have been done by the same person. ”

As Dong Rui suspects, this could be an organization.

The Demon Golem Division.

"This organization has a red and white grand gate, and they are still chasing Xiao An." He Lingchuan said firmly, "That's where this little girl escaped." ”

"So it was the Bixia people who found this group of demon puppets and asked them to assassinate Situ Yu?"

"Very likely." He Lingchuan's face was solemn, "Even the marshal of the allied forces can be killed, this demon puppet division organization is extraordinary." It was unusual for Visha to be unable to do so with the power of the clan, and to turn to them for help. ”

He is an outsider, he has seen the power of Bejia and Mu Guo, and knows that the power of the country can be terrifying. And in the Shining Gold Plain, the people who could not be assassinated by Bixia, who resisted the forces of the Seven Kingdoms, could actually do it with the help of an organization, which in itself was unreasonable.

Unless the high-level strength of this demon puppet division organization far exceeds the local forces.

If so, why is it still hidden in the shadows? Why don't you come out and dominate one side in a grand way?

The rules of this place in the Shining Gold Plain are simple and simple, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

"Xiao An is not whereabouts yet."

"Nope. There are so many clues for the bounty, but they are all unreliable, and no one has really seen her. Xiao An completely disappeared. "He Lingchuan has always been curious, since the demon puppet division organization is strong, how can this little girl evade the pursuit of the demon puppet division organization and succeed repeatedly?

After another half an hour, Jiang Lishui came in and reported the latest progress of the fire case of the Xiancheng rudder of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce:

According to He Lingchuan's requirements, the Xiancheng branch has not expanded business opportunities without authorization, and only does the business stipulated in the agreement between Yangshan and Yaoguo. He Lingchuan knew very well that there were many people staring at these agreements, and the activities of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in the early days of the Yaguo must be low-key, law-abiding and quiet, and don't teach people to grasp the handle.

The Xiancheng rudder has always been law-abiding, Jiang Lishui went forward to investigate, and found that it had recently won a large order, and only received a batch of Chigu horses five days before the crash.

Yangshan lacked good horses, and He Lingchuan coveted the good horses of the Shining Gold Plain.

In order to get closer to Yangshan, King Ya specially added the famous Akatani horse to the bilateral agreement. The first batch of 100 Akatani horses were carefully selected breeds, and they were handed over to the helmsmen of the Yangshan Islands!

By the time of the accident at the helm of Xiancheng, the horses were about to be transported to Pengguo, and then they would take a boat at Julu Harbor to the Yangshan Islands.

Will the cause of the disaster of the String City rudder be the Akitani horse?

But the people behind the scenes did not choose to rob the horses on the road, but burned the rudder of Xiancheng, which shows that they don't care about the hundred horses. As for the person in charge of Xia Lin's rudder being framed and imprisoned, no matter how you look at it, it seems to convey an attitude to Yangshan:

Lao Tzu sees that you are unhappy, you better be careful, I still have the final say here.

Those who have this kind of confidence and this kind of skill are usually not ordinary local forces.

It is said that his peers are enemies, so Jiang Lishui turned to investigate the business behind Chigu Ma.

This investigation is terrible and wrong.

Military horses are an important strategic resource, and the country does not allow its neighbors to do large transactions privately, but it also uses this resource to trade, that is, it monopolizes this industry.

However, after an investigation by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, it was learned that even if it was an official monopoly, there were seven officials and businessmen of all sizes who did the war horse business. Let's not mention the small ones first, the big three are all full of red gold backgrounds.

Among them, the one who almost monopolized the Akiti horse business secretly is-

Xue Zongwu.

He Lingchuan was also a little moved: "Xue Zongwu is a general of the Yao Kingdom, with many military achievements, arrogant and domineering, notorious abroad, and controversial in the Yao Kingdom. I didn't know that he was doing such a big deal. ”

When he studied the country, he naturally had to study the information of important people in the country. Xue Zongwu also guarded the northern border of the country, and was a veritable general who protected the country.

Good, good, very good.

Isn't that a coincidence?

"Xue Zongwu's industry is huge, but he doesn't run it himself." Jiang Lishui replied, "Let's just say that the business of this Chigu Horse does not belong to him on the surface, but to Xue Zongwu's in-laws." ”

"But the agreement between the Yaguo and Yangshan is to sell at least one hundred and twenty Chigu horses and one hundred and eighty Shancheng horses to Yangshan every year, which may have touched Xue Zongwu's-" He Lingchuan swept his eyes and saw that Lingguang was eating peaches, "peaches, so give us a few colors to see." ”

It takes time for a horse to grow, and external purchase orders are often placed at the time of the foal, and are delivered when the horse is grown.

But at this time, the country made an agreement with Yangshan, and the king of Ya made overtures to He Lingchuan and directly sold him a hundred Akagu horses. It is very easy to be the king's mouth, but for the officials and businessmen who do the horse business, this is caught off guard, and the original order agreement cannot be canceled without authorization, which is very difficult.

Moreover, in the future—the key is in the future—Yangshan will have 300 good horses every year, and the purchase price is very low, less than 50% of the market price.

It was difficult for the horse merchant to do it, so he had to go to his own umbrella and cry.

"That's not right." Lingguang Daqi, "Xue Zongwu is a high-ranking official, he should know that the country and you are in a hot fight, and selling horses is also the order of the king of Yao, why would he trouble us at this time?" ”

"Now the Yangshan Islands have become more and more famous in the middle of the Shining Gold Plain, but the people look down on any other forces, including us." He Lingchuan analyzed, "If you look at it from Xue Zongwu's point of view, how great is Yangshaneng, isn't it a foreign chamber of commerce?" Even if it is valued by King Ya now - there may be a lot of business groups and characters that King Ya has valued in the past, but in the long run, it will be just like that. ”

"But Xue Zongwu is different, he is a genuine border officer and a famous general of the country, and he has confidence. We interfered with his business, violated his interests, and when he was not happy, he gave us some eye medicine. It's just killing a few people, and it's still a matter for him? He has military power in his hands, what else can the king do with him? ”

"I originally thought that the business environment here would be better and more civilized, but now it seems that it is the same as the Shining Gold Plain." The country grew up in the land of shining gold, where can it be civilized and gentle? He Lingchuan leaned back, without a smile in his eyes, "Do you know, why do they say 'the current official is not as good as the current management'?" ”
