"This official asks you, did some Jurchens leave Daming last year with your strength?"

After thinking for a while, Su Hao asked what Fang Haichuan wanted to investigate, Fang Haichuan had told him before leaving, this matter made the Emperor of the Apocalypse still remember.

"Last year?"

After thinking for a moment, Hu Qi said: "Yes, there are four of them, and they are carrying a large package containing a lot of ancient books, I remember that Hu Ba read those books at that time, and she also said that those books are some ancient books about architecture, most of which are books left behind when the capital city of Daming was built."

Ancient books from the time when the capital was built?

Hearing Hu Ba's words, Su Hao frowned, what the hell is this, some ancient books left behind when the city was built should be useless, if it is an important ancient book, the royal family will definitely take strict care of it, and this kind of thing will not be stolen by the Jurchens.

"And how did you get them away?"

After thinking for a while, Su Hao opened his mouth and asked, he can't care about what those Jurchens have stolen, after all, the other party has already left Daming, but if he can uproot the Jurchens' power in Shandong, then his credit should not be small, at least dozens of great merits should be there, and he can also take the opportunity to harvest some enlightenment points.

"Through the Wendeng Shen family in Dengzhou Mansion."

Hu Qi said: "The Shen family is a salt merchant with their own salt farm, and they often sell illicit salt to the Jurchens by sea.

Salt merchants?

Hearing Hu Qi's words, Su Hao's brows rose slightly, if you want to say that the rich people of the Ming Dynasty, these salt merchants can be said to be unique, and all dynasties and dynasties have said that the benefits of salt and iron can raise the soldiers of a country.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's policy was to exchange grain for salt, and salt merchants purchased grain from all over the country and transported it to the border to exchange for salt, and the imperial court could obtain a large amount of grain to supply the border army almost effortlessly.

But since the change of the civil fort, this policy began to collapse, the civil officials have the power of the army, the generals have no power, the grain for salt has no guarantee, a large number of salt introduction by the salt merchants around the country to get the hand, the grain can not reach the border pass, the imperial court can only start to transport grain to the border pass, and later when the Ming filial piety sect Zhu Youjiao, simply fold the salt into silver, take the silver for salt, so the salt has become a complete profiteering.

But the silver is not more than food, it is easier to be greedy, it is easy to turn hands a few times, the silver is divided into three or seven accounts, and the salt is distributed to the wealthy families in various places, and they are all happy, the only thing that is damaged is the court and the people, after all, the salt can be less, but the food of the border soldiers is not enough, and in the end it can only fall on the heads of the people everywhere, so the degree of money of the salt merchants can be imagined.

"Apart from the Shen family, who else are you in contact with?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao asked again.

"I don't know about the rest."

Hu Qi shook his head and said, "Usually Hu Ba is in contact, and she is better at illusion than me and Hu Twelve."

"Is that so?"

Su Hao said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, Qianhe, that's all the little ones know."

Hearing this, Hu Qi hurriedly said.

"Little Er, unravel the spell for him."

Su Hao waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

"Master?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhao Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, she thought that Su Hao had promised Hu Qi to let him go, just to set Hu Qi's words, but she didn't expect Su Hao to really want to let Hu Qi go.

"You have to keep your word when you are a man."

Su Hao said with a smile: "Since we have agreed, naturally there is no reason to regret it, we will take Hu Ba and Hu Twelve back to do the same, let him go quickly, we can return to Jinan Mansion as soon as possible, and then send Hu Ba and Hu Twelve to Beijing, for those four Jurchens, Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, and sending them back to the capital is a great achievement."

Hearing Su Hao say this, Zhao Xiaoer couldn't refute it, and with a wave of his hand, he lifted the immobilization technique on Hu Qi's body.

As soon as the immobilization technique on his body was lifted, Hu Qi instantly got up, and then desperately flew towards the cliff.

At this time

, Hu Xian's hand Caiqiao appeared, and then he headed towards Hu Qijuan, but at this time, Su Hao suddenly took a step and stopped Caiqiao.

At this moment, Hu Xian was also stunned, he didn't understand what Su Hao meant, he obviously heard the meaning of letting him make a move from Su Hao's words, could it be that he would be wrong?

"This official has something for him to do."

Seeing Hu Xian's expression, Su Hao waved his hand and said, he really wanted Hu Xian to make a move at the beginning, so he deliberately emphasized "how many officials are here", but after hearing about the Shen family, he changed his mind.

Although there are Hu Qi's three foxes in hand, but the Shen family can get a piece of the salt profit, the power must not be small, and the other party and the Jurchens will definitely not leave any evidence, although he is now a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but he has not yet reached the point of having no scruples, just with the confession of the three fox demons, he can't bring down the Shen family at all.

So the only way is to lure the snake out of the hole, with the two fox demons Hu Ba and Hu Twelve in hand, the Shen family will definitely be restless, after all, this matter is related to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if these two foxes arrive in the capital, it will be difficult for the Shen family to stay out of the matter.

The other party may not have the courage to rob and kill him, but the courage to kill these two foxes is definitely there, as long as he gets some more evidence, the Shen family will be finished.

After a pause, Su Hao continued: "Since this official has promised before, and now that Hu Qi has confessed, this official will naturally not pursue your guilt again, but this official advises you to be cautious in your words and deeds, and next time, this official will never show mercy to his subordinates."

"Qianhu rest assured, the old man will definitely obey Qianhu's orders, and from now on he will be cautious in his words and deeds."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Hu Xian hurriedly replied.

"That's for the best."

Su Hao waved his hand, looked at Lu Zeju on the side, and said imperceptibly, "Fu Bo, let him explain the place where the Lu family hides the treasure."

He came out this time, in addition to checking the spies, mainly for the Lu family's treasures, he got more than 100,000 taels of silver from the Li family, but he didn't find the Lu family's treasures, logically speaking, the Lu family's treasures should be no less than the Li family.

The silver he has left now is only seventy or eighty thousand taels, and it is far from enough to ask Fang Haichuan to help him acquire the great merit, tens of thousands of taels of silver is a huge wealth in the eyes of ordinary people, but at the level of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, that is, a year's normal income, it is not enough at all.

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fu Bo broke away from the paper man's body and got into Lu Zeju's body, and after a while, he saw Lu Zeju's hands and feet suddenly twitch, and his mouth began to babble.

"Young master, I found it, in a cave on the side of Mount Tai, the cave has been transformed into a secret cave by the Lu family."

After a while, Fauber came out of Lu Zeju's body.

"Let's go, then."

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded, since he already knew the location of the treasure, just go back and take it out.

At this time, Hu Xian, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Su Qianhu, please wait a moment, the old man has something to give to Qianhu."

After finishing speaking, Hu Xian waved the color bridge in his hand, and the color bridge instantly extended to the depths of the canyon, and Hu Xian disappeared as soon as he stepped on the color bridge.

Looking at Caiqiao, Su Hao shook his head and chuckled, this magic weapon is quite good to fool people, and it is quite compatible with the fox clan's style of pretending to be gods and ghosts, if ordinary people encounter it, they will definitely mistake it for a fairy.

…

On the other side, after Hu Qi escaped from the canyon, he stopped on a mountain peak, looking at the canyon in the distance, Hu Qi turned into a human form, the look on his face was extremely complicated, he betrayed Hu Santai's grandmother, Changbai Mountain will definitely not be able to go back, and it is a dead end if he goes back.

But if he doesn't go back, how long can he live as a little demon in this Ming territory, thinking of this, Hu Qi's face couldn't help but show a look of despair!

After a while, Hu Qi regained his spirit and rushed towards the east, now there is no point in despair, the most important thing is to save, if Hu Ba and Hu 12 can be rescued, then what he did will become a ploy, no one will pursue it anymore, whether he really betrayed or not.

…

After a full quarter of an hour, the color bridge extended again from the deep mountains of the canyon

Xian's figure also appeared, holding a box with a strange fragrance in his hand.

"Su Qianhu, this is my fox clan's method of refining gods, the old man sees that the thousand households have not gathered, this method of refining gods should be able to help thousands of households."

Hu Xian came to Su Hao with a wooden box and said respectfully.

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing Hu Xian's words, Su Hao raised his eyebrows, this secret method of tempering the Yuan Shen is not a cabbage, although the Yuan Shen is not an element that determines combat effectiveness, but the Yuan Shen is also quite important, the practice of Confucianism is essentially the cultivation of the Yuan Shen, if you can condense the Yuan Shen, once you encounter the attack of the Confucian mind, you will not be easily drunk mana, and you will not be completely powerless to fight back when you encounter some spiritual attacks.

"The old man just wants to have a good relationship with the thousand households, the old and the young still have to live in this Jinan Mansion, if there is any offense in the future, I hope that the thousand households can raise their noble hands."

Hu Xian bowed his hand again.

"Since that's the case, the official has the cheekiness to accept it."

Hearing this, Su Hao's mind turned sharply, and after thinking for a while, he still took the wooden box, because Hu Xian had no reason to harm him, and he had a system, if there was a problem with this method of refining gods, he would definitely not be able to hide the system.

…

"Grandpa, why did you hand over the secret art of the clan?"

Looking at the departing figure of Su Hao and the others, a red fox turned into a human form, which was the girl in red before.

"It's just a good match."

Hu Xian shook his head and said, "We still want to live here for a long time, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with this Jinyi Wei Qianhu."

There are many places where the cultivation of their fox clan needs to rely on the power of the human race, and the benefits of befriending this Jinyi Wei Qianhu outweigh the disadvantages, and although this method of refining the gods is precious, it is also a chicken rib, and their fox clan majors in illusion, so they naturally need a strong mental power.

But this method of refining gods is quite chicken ribs for the human race, Confucianism is the main cultivation of the mind, much more powerful than their fox clan's method of refining the gods, Buddhism and Taoism also have their own methods of refining the gods, and it is also the kind that is combined with daily life, there is no need to specialize in cultivation, as for those who practice martial arts, people are too lazy to practice this method of refining gods, it is better to practice more internal strength and mental method with this kung fu.

It is also that Su Hao happens to be a left-handed warlock, and he needs this method of refining gods, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to send it away.

………

Leaving the Fox Immortal Gorge, Fu Bo carried Lu Zeju, Su Hao was holding a fox in one hand, Zhao Xiaoer and Ding Zimo followed closely behind, I have to say that the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect is indeed much stronger than the Su family, even if it has performed several spells, Zhao Xiaoer at this time is only slightly pale, and there is no weakness.

"Xiao Er, can you rush back to Jinan Mansion first, and pass the order to Tang Xiangjin and them by the way, so that they can get ready, I'm afraid there will be no trouble in the future."

Su Hao opened his mouth and said, although Hu Qi only confessed to one Shen family, but Su Hao also knew that there must be more than one Shen family, the furs, mountain goods, and medicinal materials in the northeast have always been needed by the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Jurchens have taken Liaodong, in the eyes of many people, it is a huge source of wealth, after all, the imperial court has invested millions of taels of silver in Liaodong every year, and now these things are in the hands of the Jurchens.

Now that Hu Ba's liaison is in his hands, I don't know how many people have to sit still, although I don't know how many people dare to do it, but it's good to be a little more prepared.

In terms of strength, he is not too worried, with his current strength, even if the martial arts master makes a move, he can't even get a good deal from him, he is indeed inferior to the martial arts master in terms of pure strength, but there are twenty thunderbolts in his hands now, so many thunderbolts and thunderbolts, even if the martial arts master comes over, it is enough for the other party to drink a pot.

"Master, don't worry, the apprentice will go."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhao Xiaoer nodded, then took out a paper bird from his sleeve, chanted the spell in his mouth, and finally blew lightly, and the paper bird fell to the ground and turned into a giant bird with more than three feet of wings.

Zhao Xiaoer jumped on the back of the big bird, and the next moment,

The giant bird flapped its wings and headed north.

……

On the other side, after a two-day long journey, Hu Qi finally came to Wendeng County.

As the first family of Dengzhou Mansion, the Shen family is not only a family of official gentry, but also controls several salt farms around Wendeng, based on Dengzhou Mansion for nearly two hundred years, nearly 20% of the land in Dengzhou Mansion is owned by the Shen family, it can be said that the Shen family in Dengzhou Mansion is more useful than the official government.

After turning into a human form, Hu Qi walked to the gate of the Shen family and arched his hand, "Hu Qi has something to ask to see the head of the Shen family, and I hope to report it."

"See my head of the house?"

The family in charge of guarding the gate looked Hu Qi up and down, and found that the clothes on the other party were not of any fine fabric, and he came on foot, so he waved his hand and said, "Go! Go! Go! The door of my Shen house is not something that any cat or dog can step into."

"I don't know what to do!"

Hu Qi, who was already holding back his anger, was also angry at this moment, a flash of green flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, a phantom of a fox appeared behind him.
