"I'm telling you, you don't know the energy of our helmsman."

Wang Dagen had a smile on his face and looked very proud.

"Unlike other rudders, our rudder owners have dealt with a lot of officials in Wan'an City, so we don't need to be so cautious."

Xu Rong opened his mouth, and his surprised look made Wang Dagen very useful.

"Really? In that case, why should we move out? ”

"For a better environment, of course!"

Wang Dagen said as a matter of course.

"Think about it yourself, is it better to have a house here, or a house in a rich area? And the environment over there is also first-class good, no one and pee, and breathing is much more enjoyable. ”

Xu Rongmeng nodded: "That's right, but I've never lived in that kind of house, I don't know what it will be like?" ”

When Wang Dagen heard this, he felt a little more complacent.

"It must be very comfortable, and then we will not only be better dressed, but also better fed."

"That must be a lot of money, right? Where does this money come from? ”

Xu Rong was a little curious.

According to what he knew so far, the White Lotus Sect did have some industries that were independent of the major rudders and provided financial support for the White Lotus Sect.

But the more source of money is the development of believers, the money donated by believers.

Even the poorest person has something of value, unless he becomes a beggar.

Moreover, among the believers in the development of the White Lotus Sect, there are also some businessmen and magnates.

Some of these people were fooled, some were begged by the White Lotus Sect, and some were simply supported by the White Lotus Sect.

However, Xu Rong is now playing a dirt bun who has never seen the world, and he is also guiding Wang Mugen to get some important information.

"Of course, it was the believers who donated, and those officials and masters would also donate."

Wang Mugen said as a matter of course.

Xu Rong asked again: "Are these officials so rich?" ”

"That's nature, no official is not greedy!"

There was a bit of hatred and disdain in Wang Mugen's tone.

"These people are bloodsuckers, sucking the blood of ordinary people, and most of those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes go into their own pockets."

Xu Rong seemed to empathize: "Our village can only barely support itself by farming, and those landlords have to find ways to get our fields away, but I didn't expect these officials to be the same." ”

"It's all a raccoon dog, one day, our White Lotus Sect will wipe out all these people!"

Wang Mugen said indignantly, as if he was extremely hostile to these people.

Xu Rong's heart moved, and he said with some hesitation: "Since this is the case, then we still want to get involved with these people?" None of them are good, are they? ”

Wang Mugen was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unnatural, but he still said: "The helmsman said that this is the necessary patience at present, we must use their strength to enhance our strength, and wait for the opportunity, when the time comes, we will be able to destroy them in one fell swoop." ”

For such a statement, it is obvious that Wang Mugen still has a bit of mustard in his heart.

However, out of trust in the helmsman, I also believed it.

Xu Rong nodded, and seemed to agree with this statement: "It makes sense, but these officials are not stupid people, will they be detected?" ”

Faced with this worry, Wang Mugen shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, whether it is the county order or the county magistrate, we all have the handle in our hands, and the only thing to be careful about is the county lieutenant." ”

"However, this county lieutenant is generally only in charge of those soldiers, and hardly interferes in the specific affairs of the city."

Xu Rong didn't expect that Wang Mugen would tell the information he wanted to know.

However, his mood was not very happy because of this, but very heavy.

The county order and the county commander of Wan'an City are all controlled by the White Lotus Sect, or at least a cooperative relationship.

In this way, it is no wonder that this rudder of the White Lotus Sect has a more high-profile idea.

At the same time, he also understood why the county had to transfer people from other places to investigate the affairs of Wan'an City.

Of the several high-ranking officials in Wan'an City, there is only one county lieutenant left who has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect.

If they were to investigate it themselves, would they still be able to find out what a fart?

On the contrary, it is possible to startle the snake, and then it is better to hide.

'Now that it has been determined that the county order and the county Cheng colluded with the White Lotus Sect, the next step is to find evidence. ’

This matter is definitely not easy, at least in the short term, it is not something that Xu Rong can touch.

"Handle? What tricks did they get hold of? Bribery, or adultery? ”

Xu Rong blinked his eyes and asked curiously.

Wang Mugen lowered his voice: "I'll tell you, don't say it, otherwise I'll be in trouble." ”

"Brother Wang, don't worry, my mouth is very tight."

Xu Rong patted his chest, "Brother Wang, what you said will definitely not enter the ears of the second person." ”

After receiving Xu Rong's assurance, Wang Mugen's voice became very small, and he simply came to Xu Rong's side.

"That day, I was outside the door and heard the conversation between the helmsman and the deputy helmsman, and it was said that the county commander had a deal with the grassland people, selling salt and weapons to them, and the county commander was also involved."

"If this matter is known by the imperial court, they will not be able to cut 10,000 lives."

Xu Rong's fists were clenched unconsciously.

Youzhou originally bordered the grassland, and they have been at war with each other for I don't know how many years.

Whenever the steppe people have accumulated enough strength, they will think about going south, wanting to occupy more territory.

But more often than not, when their population is too large, or when they are short of food, and they can't feed so many people, they will go south and plunder.

One is to consume some of the population, and the other is to get food.

The people on the border of Youzhou suffer greatly, and I don't know how many people die every year.

And the county commander and county governor of Wan'an City actually engaged in smuggling, and they still sold strategic materials such as weapons and salt.

This is a classic example of aiding and abetting!

Indeed, as Wang Mugen said, once discovered, it is definitely a capital crime, and it may even implicate the family.

If the White Lotus Sect had evidence of the smuggling of the two, it would be no wonder that it would be manipulated.

I'm going to pass on this news and let Tieying and them search for evidence of smuggling in Wan'an City, and if they find evidence, then I don't have to go undercover." ’

During this time, I also tried my best to find the evidence in the hands of the White Lotus Sect. ’

Xu Rong had an idea in his heart, but he didn't immediately put it into action.

He knew very well that he was still very suspicious when he first arrived, and it was best not to act rashly, so as not to fall short.

The delivery of the message should be postponed for the time being, at least not now.

At the same time, another question rose in Xu Rong's heart.

Things like salt and grain were sold to the grasslands, and it was possible to hide them from the county governor.

But like all kinds of weapons, if they are sold on a large scale, it is impossible for the county lieutenant not to know.

'If the county lieutenant is also involved......

Xu Rong shuddered.

The danger of the county lieutenant is even greater than that of the county commander, because he has an army in his hands.

Although there are only a thousand people, and it is not known whether there is a real amount, it is also a powerful force.

Once the forced dog jumps over the wall, he may directly occupy Wan'an City and rebel!

The impact will be much greater.

Once someone raises the banner to rebel, a cult such as the White Lotus Sect will certainly not let go of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

There are also many bandits who gather in the Wuthering Mountains, and maybe it will be a situation where the smoke is everywhere.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

It is also possible that it will be directly suppressed at that time, and it may not be able to make waves.

After all, in order to guard against the grassland people, Youzhou has a lot of troops stationed on the border, and as long as the response is timely, there is no problem in extinguishing these people.

But in any case, if the three high-level leaders of Wan'an City are involved in smuggling, then the situation here is too dangerous.

Wang Mugen suddenly asked, "Yu Zhen, why is your face a little unsightly?" ”

Xu Rong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and then hesitated a little.

This made Wang Mugen even more curious: "If you have anything to say, you can say it." ”

"Brother Wang, these two people smuggled these things to the grassland people, and the grassland people will enter Youzhou every year to loot, and many people are killed and displaced because of this, isn't this helping the grassland people bully us ordinary people?"

"They have good weapons, and they have to kill a lot of people, this ......"

Xu Rong's face turned a little red, "Don't they care about the helmsman?" ”

The purpose of the White Lotus Sect is to save the world and return to the vacuum homeland.

The begotten old mother is known as the supreme goddess, who is both the creator and the savior.

He is the ancestor of mankind, who created the world and humanity while saving future generations who have sunk in the sea of suffering.

The White Lotus Sect takes the childless old mother as the highest worship and the return to the vacuum hometown as the ideal realm, on the surface, it is to guide people to goodness.

Just like Buddhism pays attention to doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and attaining bliss after death, it is a similar routine.

Therefore, after Wang Mugen heard Xu Rong's words, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The county commander and the county smuggled all kinds of strategic materials to the grassland people, that is, they helped these people slaughter ordinary people.

And the White Lotus Sect used this as a handle to blackmail these two people, which didn't seem to be very good......

Wang Mugen's brows were tightly locked, and he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart.

I am afraid to think deeply about everything, although the White Lotus Sect did not participate in the smuggling matter, but it was so laissez-faire, and even used it as a threat, it was also a tacit acquiescence in the matter.

"Helmsman, they should have their own concerns."

The smile on Wang Mugen's face was already a little reluctant.

Xu Rong nodded, as if accepting this statement.

"Then you have a good rest first, and you can tell me anything about it."

Wang Mugen left with a lot of concern, and Xu Rong didn't know what would happen to him.

But for now, at least, it's a good thing.

People like Wang Mugen still have some conscience, or rather, they were originally fooled by the White Lotus Sect, and their nature is still good, and there should be many such people.

If all of them are successfully brainwashed, then this little thing will not cause the other party's reaction at all.

In this way, some of the actions of the White Lotus Sect were also restricted.

It is impossible for the White Lotus Sect to act like bandits on the bright side, otherwise it will definitely deviate from morality, so as to at least ensure that they are much less of a threat to ordinary people.

"But it's not necessarily, once the White Lotus Sect rebels at that time, these people can only be coerced......

Xu Rong shook his head, these things are not something he should worry about for the time being.

The sky is falling, and there is a tall person on top, and the most important thing he should do at present is to find evidence.

"If Wang Mugen's subsequent actions attract the attention of Xingjie, it won't expose me, right?"

Xu Rong regretted what he said just now.

"Not necessarily, my words are quite in line with my current personality, even if it is known by Shi Jie, it should be nothing."

"I can't act rashly for the time being, maybe someone outside the house is watching me all the time, and it's not easy to pass on the news."

Xu Rong sighed, then rubbed his temples with both hands.

"Undercover is indeed a dangerous chore, not only brain-consuming, but also prone to danger."

……

Early the next morning.

"Aftermath, how was your rest yesterday?"

Shi Jie looked at Xu Rong with gentle eyes, as if he was looking at his juniors.

This morning, he had received a reply from the spies in Linxi Town, confirming that there was indeed a person who matched Xu Rong before, and secretly approached the original stronghold of the Linxi Town rudder.

After that, the person who matched Xu Rong also inquired about the rudder, which was not different from what Xu Rong said yesterday.

As for the destruction of the village by bandits, there is indeed a case in the area of Cangqing City, and it happened a few days ago.

It's the same as what Xu Rong said.

This is also something that Xu Rong and Tie Ying had planned before, anyway, others don't know about the situation in Yu Qing's family, and the people in the village are all gone, so naturally there will be no flaws.

On the contrary, with the help of this incident, the identity of Yu Ji was confirmed, and at the same time, it was also to clear Xu Rong's suspicion.

Sensing the change in Shi Jie's expression, Xu Rong knew that it was probably the previous arrangement that had taken effect.

"It's good, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable with this bed, and I'm a person who recognizes beds."

Xu Rong showed a bright smile, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

For his acting skills, Xu Rong feels that it is enough to win an actor or something.

Anyway, he was stunned for a while, and the effect was excellent.

Shi Xingjie sighed quietly: "It's good to adapt more." ”

"But I heard we're moving out?"

Xu Rong didn't know if Shi Xingjie would learn the content of their conversation yesterday from Wang Mugen.

However, taking the initiative to speak up and prevent problems before they happen is the best choice.

Shi Xingjie was stunned: "It was Agen who told you, right?" ”

Xu Rong nodded: "It was Brother Wang who told me, he said that he would move to a good place and let me live first." ”

"It's time to move, it's not safe here."

Shi Shijie suddenly asked, "What is the fundamental practice of your cultivation?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Rong didn't expect him to ask this, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

The so-called fundamental exercises are the exercises that lay the foundation in the physical realm, such as the mountain-shaking fist he practiced.

But he didn't know what the fundamental exercises of Yu Qing's cultivation were, and he didn't expect anyone to ask about this beforehand.
