Chapter 6: Ding Xiu

Grunt grunt –

The remnant sun is like blood, at dusk, the wheels of a carriage run over the green bricks, out of the west gate of the palace, stopped at a wide gate, the door plaque "West Detective Factory Palm Seal Governor's Mansion" several big characters are golden, extremely dazzling.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yuhuatian got down from the carriage, a silver-white robe, with an indifferent expression.

Xichang is located next to the Xihua Gate on the west side of the palace, although it has just been established, but because the eunuchs are in power, the people also regard it as a eunuch ranks, how far away they are, for fear of causing trouble.

Therefore, the street where the West Factory is located is very quiet.

Only a few people from Xichang were standing at the door, and when they saw Yuhuatian coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "See the overseer." ”

Yu Huatian ignored it, walked straight into the door, and came to the main hall, only to see several high-level executives of the West Factory already waiting here.

The leader is Ma Jinliang, the head of the West Factory, wearing a yellow and white python robe, wearing a pointed hat, and the lower half of his face is covered by a bronze mask carved with the face of an unknown beast, his eyes are indifferent, and he looks quite scary.

Next to him is Tan Luzi, the head of the second gear, his appearance is relatively normal, but his eyebrows are a little gloomy at any time, and it is not easy to get along at first glance.

Behind him was a black-robed man, his face was blue, and the aura on his body from time to time was quite good.

This person is a master of Yuhuatian's accidental subduation, good at gunnery, and his first-hand archery skills are also extremely clever, named Zhao Tong, rarely shows up on the bright side, temporarily acts as a killer in the West Factory, and solves some trivial matters that are inconvenient for Yuhuatian.

These three people are the three strongest masters under Yuhuatian, and they are all innate realms.

Among them, Ma Jinliang, the head of the big stall, is the strongest, and has reached the peak of innocence, and he is only one step away from stepping into the realm of grandmasters.

And Tan Luzi and Zhao Tong are both in the middle of congenital.

In addition to these three people, there is also a third-gear head in the West Factory, named Ji Xueyong, who is also in the early stage of congenital realm.

However, Ji Xueyong was sent out by Yuhuatian to do business a few days ago, and he was not in the capital for the time being.

"Overseer!"

Seeing Yuhuatian coming, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yu Huatian waved his hand and walked straight into the main hall, and the three of them also hurriedly followed.

Coming to the main seat and sitting down, Yuhuatian looked at Tan Luzi and asked, "What is the movement over there in Dongchang?" ”

Among the three stalls of the West Factory, Ma Jinliang has a withdrawn personality, is a martial arts maniac, and rarely pays attention to the affairs of the West Factory, so generally if there is anything, Yuhuatian is handed over to Tan Luzi and Ji Xueyong to do.

Tan Luzi arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, over there in Dongchang, Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Xi are secretly mobilizing manpower, but I'm afraid they are about to start acting!" ”

Yu Huatian's eyes flashed, "Sure enough, I can't wait so soon......"

"Do you have the strength to find out about them?"

Tan Luzi nodded and said: "Zhao Jingzhong's side, in recent years, he has attracted several first-class martial artists, and there are more than a dozen second-rate and third-rate martial artists, and if you are a congenital master, only Zhao Jingzhong and his junior sister Wei Ting." ”

"However, Wei Ting secretly went to the Jinyi Guard's Yamen today, and he should be preparing to seek foreign aid from the Jinyi Guard!"

Jin Yiwei?

Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Jinyiwei has existed since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and was founded in the period of Emperor Hongwu, but with the emergence of Dongchang, the status of Jinyiwei has decreased again and again.

Especially when Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the previous generation of Dongchang, was in power, Jinyiwei was completely unable to raise his head, and he was completely reduced to a dog under Dongchang, and even the appointment and dismissal of his position had to be done according to Dongchang's face.

After Wan Yulou came to power, his wrist and heart could not be compared with Wei Zhongxian, coupled with the emperor's intention to suppress Dongchang, the situation of Jinyiwei has been much better over the years, but it has still not been out of the control of Dongchang, internal affairs are very corrupt, and all kinds of corruption and perversion of the law are extremely common.

In fact, there are some masters in Jinyiwei, but the loss is that there is no strong grandmaster, otherwise, it may really be possible to get out of the control of Dongchang in the past few years.

Yu Huatian instructed: "Let the dark line inside the Jinyi guard check to see who promised to help him." ”

"Yes."

Tan Luzi complied.

"What about Liu Xi? He didn't look for foreign help? Yuhuatian continued to ask.

Tan Luzi arched his hand and said: "Liu Xi has also secretly cultivated some masters in the past few years, there may be more than a dozen first- and second-rate acquired martial artists, and there are two innate masters, as for Liu Xi himself, ......"

Speaking of this, Tan Luzi hesitated for a moment and said: "He has been very low-key over the years, and he only knows that he can use a martial art that can absorb people's internal strength, but he has never shown it on the surface, so our people have not found out his specific strength." ”

Yuhuatian's eyes moved slightly, Liu Xi was also well-known in the East Factory before, otherwise it would not be possible to become the second head of the East Factory.

But since he became the second gear head of the East Factory, he is indeed very low-key, even with the intelligence ability of the West Factory, it is only found out that he can use a martial art that can absorb people's internal strength, but his strength has not been determined.

However, Yu Huatian can be sure that this person is definitely the villain Liu Xi in the TV series 'Little Fish and Flowers', who is full of martial arts and can be ranked in the top ten in the entire drama.

Generally, characters who can become villains, no matter how bad their strength is, they are not far behind.

Coupled with the "Dafa of Absorbing Gong" that he cultivated, Liu Xi's strength may not be weaker than Zhao Jingzhong and others, and he may even have reached the level of a grandmaster.

It's just that in this world, "Absorbing Gong Dafa" is not exclusive to Liu Xi, as far as Yuhuatian knows, the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu of the Dragon Guardian Villa ignores it, and it seems that he will also use this martial art.

I don't know if there will be any connection between the two......

Yuhuatian was thoughtful.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Huatian said lightly: "Liu Xi will be handed over to me to deal with, what about Li Zhong?" ”

Tan Luzi hurriedly replied: "Li Zhong is a person of Wan Yulou's lineage, although Wan Yulou died in the hands of Zhao Huai'an, his henchmen did not suffer many casualties, and now they are basically in the hands of Li Zhong." ”

"Li Zhong is only in the first-class realm, relying on Wan Yulou's relationship to become the deputy governor, his strength is not enough to fear, but he still has four innate masters under his hands!"

"Four? So much? ”

Yuhuatian was a little surprised.

Tan Luzi nodded and said: "These four people are all masters cultivated by Wan Yulou over the years, and there were originally six of them, but two of them also died in the hands of Zhao Huai'an a few days ago. ”

Yuhuatian bowed slightly, and at the same time felt some emotion in his heart.

It is worthy of being a force that has been established for many years, and its heritage is far deeper than that of an organization that has just been established for less than half a year.

Yu Huatian's fingers tapped on the armrest of the Taishi chair, frowning and pondering.

Not counting the foreign aid that Zhao Jingzhong is looking for, the three forces of Dongchang combined, only there are eight congenital masters, and Liu Xi, the second-tier leader, may even be a grandmaster.

In this case, it is somewhat unrealistic to want to suppress the East Factory in one fell swoop.

Then we can only let them fight on their own......

Yuhuatian took a deep breath, made a decision in his heart, looked at Tan Luzi, and ordered: "Keep an eye on the movements of Dongchang for me, and when they fight, we will go over and clear the field." ”

"Yes!"

Tan Luzi said respectfully.

Night.

In the southwest of the capital, a black shadow flashed through the street, stopped at the mouth of a small alley, and waited quietly.

After a while, a man in a samurai uniform, with a long ponytail and a large Royal Forest saber on his shoulder, slowly walked out of the alley with a steamed bun in his mouth.

Seeing the man carrying the knife, the man in black glanced around, and when he saw that there was no one, he walked out of the darkness and walked towards the man with a ponytail.

In the moonlight, I saw that this person was wearing a flying fish suit with two knives hanging from his waist, obviously a brocade guard.

"What are you looking at?"

The man with a ponytail stepped forward and said with a lazy expression: "Afraid that your friends on an errand will see me?" ”

"Senior brother!"

The young man in Jinyiwei's face was complicated, he took out a silver ingot from his arms, handed it to the man, and said, "Take the silver, let's go." ”

The man took the silver with a smile, "No matter how small the fly is, it is also meat!" ”

The young man in Jinyi put down the silver, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the last time, don't come to me again in the future!" ”

With that, the young man turned around and wanted to leave.

The man's face froze, then he sneered and said, "Do you really think that you are an official when you wear this flying fish suit?" ”

"I tell you, a thief is always a thief!"

"You secret, I'll eat you for the rest of your life!"

The young man's figure was stunned, his fists clenched tightly, and there was even a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Don't push me!"

The man laughed, "What? Want to get your hands dirty? Come on, let Senior Brother see how much progress you have. ”

The young man's eyes were cold, he couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly turned around, pulled out the double knife at his waist, and rushed towards the man.

The man carrying the knife was not afraid, just turned around slightly, and dodged the young man's double knife, and then flicked the saber in his hand slightly, and the handle hit the young man's chest.

The young man stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He was about to continue to move, but suddenly coughed violently, covered his chest, and blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"That's it?"

The man sneered and didn't continue to move, "I really don't know, what does Master like about you, you tuberculosis ghost!" ”

With that, the man took his saber and turned to leave.

But as soon as he walked through the alley, the man stopped, raised his head to look at a figure that appeared in front of him at some point, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your kung fu is good."

"One hundred taels, kill someone for me!"

Zhao Jingzhong looked at the man, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes, but he didn't make a move, but threw a bag of silver at the man.

The man reached out to catch it, touched it with his hand, and asked with a smile, "Who does my father-in-law want to kill?" ”

"Deputy Governor of Dongchang, Li Zhong!"

Zhao Jingzhong said lightly.

The man's pupils shrank, and then he said: "Dongchang has a huge power, and there is a small swordsman in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid I can't afford to offend." ”

Zhao Jingzhong said coldly: "You already know my plan, if you don't help me, I will kill you!" ”

Whoa......

As soon as the words fell, dozens of Dongchang fans appeared around in an instant, all holding crossbow arrows and aiming at the man.

The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and then he reluctantly arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law is just afraid that he has misunderstood, and this is not what he meant." ”

"It's just that this matter is too involved, after all, it involves the ...... of the East Factory."

Zhao Jingzhong said coldly: "So what? ”

"Gotta add money!"

Zhao Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he said, "After the matter is completed, I will give you another hundred taels!" ”

"Deal!"

The man responded cheerfully.

Zhao Jingzhong glanced at the man deeply and said, "Tonight, I'll wait for you here, you'd better not think about running away." ”

"Because I can't find you, I'll kill your junior brother!"

"Tonight, he'll shoot too!"

The man smiled and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I value the word integrity the most, and I will definitely not run!" ”

"It was better to do so!"

After Zhao Jingzhong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The surrounding Dongchang fans have also withdrawn.

Soon only the man was left on the street.

The man looked at the direction of Zhao Jingzhong's departure, his expression instantly became gloomy, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Sometimes, when people walk in the streets, disaster comes from heaven!

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, but they are nothing else......

"Stepping on ......"

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps behind him.

The man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked back, only to see that on the street behind him, at some point, a young man wearing a silver-white python robe appeared.

The young man's appearance is feminine and handsome, so handsome that a woman can be ashamed of herself when she sees it, and her temperament is graceful, but she does not lose her majesty.

"Your name is Ding Xiu, right?" The young man asked lightly.

The man looked vigilant, nodded and said, "It's Ding Xiu below, I don't know who my father-in-law is?" ”

"Supervisor of the West Factory, Yuhuatian!"

Yu Huatian said lightly: "Zhao Jingzhong made a deal with you just now, and now I will also make a deal with you." ”

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, his heart was really strange, why did the people from the East Factory and the West Factory come out tonight, and they all rushed to make a deal with him?

"Father-in-law, please speak."

Yu Huatian looked at him, "You kill Zhao Jingzhong for me tonight, and I will give you a thousand taels." ”

Ding Xiu was stunned again, and then arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law, this is not very good, after all, I have already promised Father-in-law Zhao first......"

"Two thousand taels!"

Ding Xiu's eyes lit up, "Deal!" ”

"Huh."

Yuhuatian didn't seem surprised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ding Xiu, a wealthy resident, is also his favorite character in the play.

This person is also righteous and evil, but his martial arts are not weak, one grade higher than Zhao Jingzhong, and he has reached the peak of his innate nature.

Just one step away from stepping into the Grandmaster!

Seeing the smile on the corner of Yu Huatian's mouth, Ding Xiu thought that Yu Huatian was mocking him, so he was not angry, but smiled and said, "This...... Compared with the father-in-law just now, I still prefer to make deals with your father-in-law. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Huatian waved his hand and asked, "Are you interested in following me?" ”

"Huh? This one...... There is no intention of entering the palace under it. ”

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly refused.

He doesn't want to be a eunuch!

The corners of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched, and he said: "Don't worry, you don't need to be a eunuch, and not everyone in my West Factory is a eunuch." ”

Ding Xiu suddenly relaxed, rolled his eyes, and said, "Please let my father-in-law think about it." ”

"Yes."

Yu Huatian nodded, and then said: "You follow Zhao Jingzhong tonight, when will I show up, and when will you do it." ”

"Listen to my father-in-law."

Ding Xiu nodded in response.

Yuhuatian bowed slightly, and then turned to leave, but at this time, as if he suddenly thought of something, he stopped, and said, "In the future, you can call me Lord or the Overseer." ”

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Ding Xiu froze in place, looking at Yuhuatian's back, thoughtful.

This governor of Xichang doesn't like others to call him father-in-law?
