"It turns out that you have seen and heard so much overseas, compared to you, my life seems much narrower."

In the restaurant, Lian Yang and Qiu Shaohu were wrapped in an eager atmosphere. After the two "hit it off at first sight", they naturally came here and "drank and talked".

The delicacies were sumptuous, Lian Yang was immersed in the wine, and at the same time poured a glass for Qiu Shaohu.

Pushing the glass to change the lamp, Qiu Shaohu took the wine glass, but he didn't drink it, so Lian Yang looked at him more.

There are doubts, but also the inconsistency of toasting him and not eating.

"Brother Lian Yang misunderstood," Qiu Shaohu said lightly: "It's not that I don't drink alcohol, but this time, I don't want to reduce the time I spend with Brother Tai because I'm drunk." ”

Compliment each other.

……

In the evening harbor, in the tranquil bay, countless lights rise dimly in the mist, illuminating the past. Like a dragon hidden deep in the sea, the dragon scales reflect the sparkling waves, carrying the secrets of the deep sea.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, whether it is the goods loaded and unloaded in the harbor, or the construction site of the expansion of the port on the other side, people come and go, showing a well-organized atmosphere. It is at the end of the day, before the end of the day, and the end of the toil.

"Comfort is what people seek, but because of their eagerness, after getting it, they tend to indulge in it."

Cheng Tingdong stood on the harbor embankment, condescendingly looking at everything, holding a cigarette pouch, inhaling deeply, and exhaling the lingering smoke.

At this time, he was dressed in a coarse garment, and his head was not covered with a crown but a hat, and people who passed by would only treat him as an ordinary fisherman.

But isn't that what the people think? If it's too safe and healthy, who wants swords, horses, and soldiers. When I thought about it, when you and I fled back then, what we dreamed of was nothing more than that. Zhang Fengrong was also wearing simple clothes at this time, and he didn't have the slightest prefect's shelf.

"If it is peaceful and unified, it is natural to deserve it, but now the imperial court is in a peaceful corner and does not want to forge ahead, heh-" Cheng Tingdong spoke, walked down the embankment, came to the beach on the side of the port, and looked at the busy harbor.

Closer to the shore, only to see that the color of the sea water at this time is a little dark, near the shore like a dark dye factory, the waves are photographed, leaving a dripping particle precipitation, and the clear water retreats into the sea, and is turbid again.

"The earth is shaking in the open sea, and the sand on the bottom of the sea is shaking up, and the sea is muddy, which is not a good sign on the seaside," Zhang Fengrong said. ”

"As the prefect of Chaomen, you are not staying in the yamen at this time, but you are hanging out here with me, not afraid of spreading it to the ears of the imperial history of the court, and letting those officials play a dereliction of duty for you?" Cheng Tingdong was a little joking.

He came over this time to deliberately follow the previous clues to investigate the hidden problems of Chaomen Port. It's just a coincidence that I ran into Zhang Fengrong.

"Me? If I can stay in the yamen with peace of mind, why should I come here? Zhang Fengrong revealed his distress for the first time, "The public opinion is raging, and the people who came to seek justice are about to collapse my yamen, and before the poisoning case is revealed, I can only hide everywhere." I'm not like you, my body is tough, and I can still bump on the horse for a day when I'm over forty, and if something happens, the court will have to send someone to take over my shift. ”

"I told you earlier, don't always care about reading copywriting all day long, you thin arms and legs, if you don't exercise well, I'm afraid you will really become a weak literati who has no power in storytelling." Cheng Tingdong knows that Zhang Fengrong, who is a fifth-grade official, is comparable in terms of cultivation, but in the end, he is a civil official, and if he really fights, the other party is definitely not his opponent.

"Practice, with whom? Do you practice? Okay, teach me your family's martial scripture 'Great Annihilation Shura Jue', and I'll learn it from you." Zhang Fengrong has been friends with him for many years, and even if the "lion opens his mouth" at this time, it will not make people feel malicious.

"Wusheng is absolutely connected, and the great destruction of Shura". Originally, the stunt in the Guanguan Earthquake Pass was absolutely connected to the family, but now it can only be in the south of the Yangtze River, and between the chats and laughter of the two old friends, the former grandeur is faintly revealed.

Cheng Tingdong sneered and said, "You are neither surnamed Cheng nor apprentice, why should I teach you." ”

While speaking, Cheng Tingdong heard some "hissing" sounds and looked down.

They were now very close to the place where the land and water met, and from time to time something mingled in the sea, and was slapped ashore by the waves, to their feet.

It was a peculiar little fish, all silver, but reflecting blue light, with a pair of small eyes that were barely visible, but with a mouth almost bigger than a head, and a mouth full of fangs that could not be held up.

This little guy's temperament is still very fierce, as soon as he saw Cheng Tingdong coming, he couldn't bear to dance his small body on the beach, with teeth and claws, it seemed that he was about to jump on Cheng Tingdong and bite it with its sharp teeth, but it was just in vain.

Cheng Tingdong kicked it back into the sea at will, and listened to Zhang Fengrong continue: "This is a silver and blue ghost bream, which should have lived in the deep sea, and it should have been driven to the surface by the earthquake on the bottom of the sea." ”

"It has a very peculiar temperament, if there are only one or two, it is very gentle, and it will only parasitize on some big fish, and live by sucking blood. But when they are in groups, they become collectively ferocious, attacking anything they come across, gnawing at the flesh of their prey with their fangs. But the strange thing is that when they bite, the saliva secreted in their mouths can promote wound healing, which is a rare healing artifact for doctors. ”

"According to you, it should be very painful to be their prey, and while being eaten continuously, the wounds are healing, and finally I see myself being eaten clean." Cheng Tingdong said: "And they only have the courage to do so in groups, once they are alone, they don't dare to make mistakes." Bullying is exactly the same as some gangsters. ”

As he spoke, his eyes fixed on the harbor not far away.

The harbor still shimmered brightly, so intense that he couldn't even see what was hidden behind the darkness.

……

Qiu Shaohu came out of the restaurant, separated from Lian Yang, and walked in the streets and alleys at night.

Behind him was the sound of joy that had not yet dissipated, his face was pale, and he suddenly squatted in the corner of the alley, vomiting non-stop.

In order to stabilize the other party, he forcibly endured the monstrous hatred in his heart and went to reconcile with Lian Yangxu.

This feeling made him feel sick from the bottom of his heart, and his nails pierced his flesh several times.

Qiu Shaohu didn't make a rash move, because he didn't find an opportunity. Lian Yang's cultivation is on par with him, and if he misses once, he is afraid that he will never have the opportunity to kill the other party in his life.

Similarly, he also wanted to poison Lian Yang several times, but he also didn't have any chance. Lian Yang is like a cunning fox who has never revealed his flaws.

And the only thing Qiu Shaohu can do is to wait, wait until the end, and agree with the other party that they will go to Tai'an Building tomorrow to "watch the show", and Lian Yang will leave satisfied in the end, just waiting for tomorrow.

kept vomiting until he couldn't vomit anymore, and the feeling of nausea still lingered in Qiu Shaohu's heart. It is not only the discomfort of wanting to talk and laugh with the other party, but also the resentment that the opportunity is close at hand and I have to endure it.

His hands were constantly shaking, and he was in a state of extreme anger, unwillingness, and excitement.

Tomorrow, tomorrow happens to be Qingming, and on that day of memorial, he wants to send the other party on the road completely!

"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Luan Wen, who rushed over, was taken aback when he saw him like this.

He was asked by Qiu Shaohu to find him in advance, but this time it was the first time to see Qiu Shaohu so out of shape, like a child who had been robbed of his toys and snatched them back, with joy and uneasy fear.

"Tomorrow, Tai'an Building, get ready." Qiu Shaohu explained some things to Luan Wen, and finally said, "I want to kill someone." ”

From the bottom of his eyes, the clear yellow color flashed with a pure and calm killing intent.

It's like he's not going to kill someone, he's just doing something as simple as eating and drinking.

This made Luan Wen shudder again.

It also reminded him again of the scene when he saw the mysterious woman before.

……

"Hey, hurry up, hurry up and bring the sand and gravel over there, or it won't be too late."

On the construction site for the expansion of the harbor, the overseer Gu Ying directs everything. The Chaomen coast does not have the conditions of a natural harbor, so that cargo ships can pass at will without running aground, it is necessary to dig a huge deep water area, and at the same time build a breakwater, a diversion embankment and the outermost lifting giant copper gate three layers of protection, in order to ensure that the city is not flooded by the sea, so it is a huge project, so the post of supervisor is extremely important.

Everyone was completing their work under Gu Ying's command, which also made him a little proud.

"It seems that this expanded seaport can be completed on time, so that the city department will also have an explanation." Xu Yicheng was recording something beside him, and as a representative of the city's shipping department, he also had to come here from time to time to investigate.

"That's natural, please tell Master Zheng there, please rest assured." Gu Ying said politely.

"Well, but this breakwater, we still have to pay attention to reinforcement, after all, before the harbor gate is completely repaired, it is all relied on as wave protection, if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable." After giving some orders as usual, Xu Yicheng left here with today's record and went back to the errand.

After Xu Yicheng left, Gu Ying gave some more orders, and then took advantage of not paying attention, and took a detour to the back of the construction site of the breakwater, there was an unnoticeable tunnel, and when he walked inside, he saw two workers carrying some sand and gravel outside.

"How's it going?" Gu Ying asked the other party.

"Okay, boss, today the two hundred loads of waterproof sand have been transported away, and according to your orders, they have been filled back with soil, and they are unaware." The two workers carried so much sand and gravel that they seemed very tired, but they were also very excited about such a big profit.

Gu Ying was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "A load of good waterproof sand, conservatively estimated to cost one tael of silver, two hundred taels is two hundred taels, so much is needed every day on the construction site, and after a month, it is more than three thousand taels." Replacing it with ordinary inferior soil is shoddy, and it is conservatively estimated that if you cut corners inside and out, you can leave 2,000 taels into your own pocket......"

Xu Yicheng suddenly went back and forth, thinking about the words, and while calculating the benefits and disadvantages for them, he looked at the three people's faces pale.

"You ......" Gu Ying didn't expect to have this hand, his face showed a fierce light, thinking that only Xu Yicheng found out alone, and he just killed people.

Coincidentally, he just thought so, a middle-aged strong man dressed as a fisherman suddenly appeared behind Xu Yicheng, smiling, it was Cheng Tingdong!

"Cheng ......" The three of them all recognized this god-killing god of Fu Shendu, and they were all stunned. The two workers were even more unlucky, and immediately fell to their knees, crying and saying, "We didn't do it, it was all him...... My lord spared my life......"

Cheng Tingdong is terrible and unkind, but his reputation is outside.

Gu Ying felt bad at the moment, and immediately pulled out his legs and ran, he had other thoughts, thinking that as long as he could get out of here, relying on the people behind him, he might not be able to turn the tables.

But after running two steps, he felt an inexplicable Weiya, like the whole world watching him, like countless mountains and huge rocks forced in front of his eyes, making people breathless.

Then he saw that Zhang Fengrong appeared in front of him, with the unique deterrence of the imperial court officials, and the power of life and death that was controlled by the way of heaven was in control, so that he would never dare to make a mistake again.

"Your Excellency...... Adults spare me this time......" Gu Ying finally had a nervous breakdown and said, "I said, it was Ru Muxuan, it was Ru Muxuan who asked me to do this!" They asked me to deduct some of the materials for the construction of the embankment that I sent from them every day, and then secretly send them back to them at night while no one was looking, and I just listened to their orders and begged the adults to be lenient......"

"Rumu Xuan!" Hearing this, Cheng Tingdong sneered inwardly.

Finally got their hands on it.

Before this, even if some news was found, it was just chasing after the wind, such as whether the Mu Xuan clan could die and not admit it.

But this time, the construction of the port is very important, if Mu Xuan dares to cheat, and the stolen goods are obtained, then they have no room for defense.

You can also follow the vine and touch the melons, and dig out all the things in the Zhenkang Shrine!

……

"You say, the people of Zhenkang Divine Palace, why do you want to kill Senior Brother Lingdi?"

In front of the tomb of Lingdi, the disciples of the Forgetless Island gathered here, preparing to merge the head and body of Lingdi into a whole.

"It's secret, I'm afraid only the parties can know it." Meng Chen held the head of the spiritual truth, shook his head and said.

"Senior Brother, do you really want to bury Senior Brother Lingdi outside the island?" Fu Xun was still a little puzzled.

"Be calm, a person who was born and doesn't know where his home is, at least take the place of death as his way back, and have other lands to comfort his soul, which can be regarded as making up for some of his regrets."

As he spoke, he put the head of the Spirit Truth back into the open tomb.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

The corners of Lingdi's mouth were stained with something white.

Originally, he didn't care about it, but only then did he realize that the thing had extended to the depths of Lingdi's mouth, not just a dirty thing.

Meng Chen tried to pry open the mouth of the spirit and touched the thing out.

Yes – a note.

On the front of the white paper, a rune is drawn.

On the back, it's empty.

Dusty restless.
