Chapter 119: The Strength of the South China Sea Forces
"So, even if you hear the truth and still think so, how dare anyone else.
Sometimes, to see things is to look at things with extraordinary eyes.
Those connections between the Xu family and the Huang family, in the general eyes, are very high normal behaviors.
That's because you have been firm in your hearts from the very beginning, that is, the Xu family will not collude with the Huang family and will not do anything harmful to the country.
But if that's the truth, you can't see it or hear it! ”
Sang Yao sneered, poured two sips of wine, and ate two more mouthfuls of food.
"Seniors, juniors believe in you!" Liu Xin suddenly spoke, causing the mulberry kiln who was eating a lot of food to stop his chopsticks.
glanced at Liu Xin with deep meaning, but Liu Xin looked serious and did not seem to be fake.
"The old man will believe you for the time being."
Sang Yao withdrew his chopsticks, adjusted a comfortable sitting position, and continued:
"I have no evidence to prove the matter between the Xu family and the Huang family, everything I said is my personal opinion.
Governor of Zhejiang, Huang Chong is the eldest son of Huang Yinfang. Zhejiang Provincial Commander and Zhongheng, who was vigorously promoted by Huang Yinfang, was also on the northern battlefield and fought with the Northern Barbarians, and later Huang Yinfang was transferred to Zhejiang as the commander.
In fact, with his qualifications, he could have been promoted a long time ago, but because of Huang Yinfang's relationship, Emperor Xuyang couldn't do this.
The place of the governor of Zhejiang is the base camp of the Huang family, and it was built by Huang Yinfang like an iron bucket!
And the other three provinces are not far behind.
Luan Jujing, the governor of Fujian Province, the Luan family is a big family in Fujian Province, but the family has been married to the Huang family for nearly ten years, and almost all of them have become a family.
And the commander of Fujian Province, Huang Zhiwu is a brainless martial artist, who only seeks the realm of martial arts, and the Huang family borrowed the hand of the Luan family and didn't know how many cultivation treasures were stuffed into him, and there were even rumors that the Huang family once gave Huang Zhiwu a superb weapon!
The situation of Ai Xueyin, the governor of Nangan Province, and Luan Jujing, who are almost the same, and the Ai family is also a big family in Nangan Province.
And the commander of Southern Jiangxi Province, Kang Congzheng, was also vigorously promoted by the Huang family.
Shi Maohai, the governor of Guangdong Province, a big family in Guangdong Province, is a close confidant of the Xu family. The Shi family and the Xu family have been married for generations, and they have long been one.
Chi Wenjing, the commander of Guangdong Province, is also a big family in Guangdong Province, and his family forces also have a certain strength in the governor of Huguang, and he is also a force that is good friends with the Xu family.
The Xu family is the largest family in Guangdong Province. ”
After a pause, Sang Yao drank another wine.
"Little friend, now you know how strong the Huang family's power is in the South China Sea provinces.
Almost all these four provinces, including the Southern Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, are actually under the control of the Huang family.
And how much can the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang play here?
And the Jinyi Guard you care about, in the eleven years after Emperor Xuyang ascended the throne, there have only been two Jinyi Guards, and one commander has been the same knowledge.
Moreover, these three people were not transferred back to the imperial capital, but transferred out of Jinyi Wei and went to other local guards, or simply entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
And these three people are secret agents arranged by Mi Yusong, the commander of the East Factory! ”
"In other words, the four provinces of the South China Sea today, whether they are civil officials or military generals, are all the words of the Huang family!"
"There's no need to be so pessimistic. These warriors in the south are very capable, but they also have a fatal weakness. ”
At this point, Rokuro finally drank the third jar of wine.
Liu Xin handed the jar of wine in front of him to Liulang very naturally without a trace.
Rokuro just smiled, took the jar, and took a sip.
"According to the configuration of Jinyiwei, in the four provinces of the South China Sea, there are four commanders, four commanders, twenty-four thousand households, and a total of twenty-four guards.
But among these people, only eight of them the Huang family cared about, or the entire Nanhai clan, cared about.
1,000 households and below are not their targets.
This is what I said about the biggest weakness of the South Sea clans.
That is, they are too arrogant.
For those who are weaker, they don't look down on them at all, and you won't put in the effort at all, even if it's just a little bit of effort to solicit.
As a result, these forces in the middle and lower levels are not very affected by the Nanhai Shi clan.
Of course, this is only relative, like these thousands of households basically rely on the brocade clothes and guards above, and they know to take care of it.
Although the Nanhai Shi clan will not solicit them, it does not mean that their superiors will not solicit them.
It's just that there is a difference in the intensity of solicitation between the two, and the means are also different. ”
"Senior, if I want to start from Jinyiwei in Guangdong Province, do you have a good recommendation?"
"That's the Xu family's territory."
Rokuro shook his head and sighed.
"The power of the Xu family is beyond your imagination, the entire Zhengyang, except for the royal family, he is the first level.
Now that Wu Guogong is in full swing, Qin Guogong may be able to compete with the Xu family by joining forces.
That's all you have to say, you can figure it out for yourself. ”
Rokuro didn't seem to want to go on.
But Liu Xin has been thinking about it in his head.
He remembered what Rokuro had said earlier.
The power of the Chi family also infiltrated the governor of Huguang......
Liu Xin carefully counted in his mind the information about the South China Sea that he had seen when he was in the Holy Sect and in Jinyiwei.
Something was quickly caught, but it wasn't so clear based on the information that had been obtained before.
It needs a boost.
"Senior, can you tell me about the situation of the Chi family?"
Rokuro suddenly choked as he drank the wine, then put down the wine jar and looked at Liu Xin.
"It's amazing how young people are today.
What a boy. ”
After a few praises, Rokuro continued:
"When I'm done drinking this jar, I should go. You're only left with one last question, do you want to try another one? ”
"I don't need to be a senior, I only have this last question."
Liu Xin is quite insistent and authentic.
"Haha, in that case, let's answer Xiaoyou's question.
The Xingzhu faction in the mountains of Yunnan has some relationship with the Chi family in Guangdong, and the ancestor of the Chi family was once a disciple of the Xingzhu faction.
In the governor of Huguang, many high-ranking officials of the government like to ask for pills.
The predecessor of the Xingzhu School was a branch of Taoism, and the founding patriarch was good at alchemy, and now of course the best thing is poison pills, but there is no shortage of some longevity pills.
In addition, although the mountains of Yunnan are barren, there are countless treasures of heaven and earth, which is a treasure land with countless medicinal materials.
These high-ranking officials like these pills, and the Star Constellation Sect can also provide them, so the Chi family started to work more than ten years ago and became a broker in the middle.
And the Chi family also opened the governor of Huguang and cultivated a force here, which happened to be near this Wuchang City. ”
"Please also ask the seniors to teach!"
"Do you know who is in charge of the black market here?" Rokuro asked suddenly.
Liu Xin immediately understood.
Rokuro drank the last drop of liquor in the jar, then patted his stomach contentedly, got up, took his crutches, and turned away without hesitation.
"Little friend, meet again!"
Liu Xin got up, and there was no retention, bowed and saluted: "Thank you seniors for solving your doubts today!" ”
Rokuro had already opened the door of the private room, and said with a chuckle: "Money and goods!" ”
It was already evening when he returned to the inn, and when Rokuro saw Liu Xin returning, he immediately stepped forward to inquire about the old man's situation today.
Liu Xin just said something similar to Dugu Yueyue, the perception between some masters and the like.
Then he concealed the identity of the other party, only saying that the other party was a powerful loose cultivator, and the two reached some deals.
Dugu Yueyue actually didn't have the experience of going out a few times, and today like Liu Xin and the old man, they can reach some deals when they meet, and they are very curious.
And Liu Xin didn't hide it from a few people, saying that the content of the transaction was related to what he was going to do next.
But before that, they should be ready to leave for the black market.
As a thousand-year-old capital, Wuchang City is the core of the governor of Huguang, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles.
But these have nothing to do with Liu Xin and others.
Wuchang City has a punctual curfew at four o'clock in the morning, after that, the outer city is not allowed to enter and exit, the streets are not allowed pedestrians, the inner city is even more martial law, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets on the roads at all times.
At this time, the streets of the outer city were empty, and Liu Xin and the others could naturally be unimpeded by their own strength.
After all, although the outer layer is clean on the streets, the frequency of patrols by those government officials is not high, even if it is high, they cannot find these martial artists of the Dacheng Realm.
It's different if it is changed to the inner city, where there are masters who are on duty at some specific locations, which is similar to the imperial capital.
"Senior brother, are you really sure that the entrance to the dungeon is where the black market is located?"
Along the way, Rokuro was still unsure.
With his qualifications, he has walked the rivers and lakes, and he is also more familiar with these places of three religions and nine streams.
I have been to many black markets hidden in the middle of the city, but I have never entered from the place where the official yamen is located, especially the dungeon.
This dungeon is very tightly guarded, although it is located in the outer city, but the guards inside are not much weaker than the inner city.
Is this really reliable?
Rokuro couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.
Of course, if it was him, he didn't care, and the sea of swords and fires also broke through with the senior brother.
But now he is not alone after all, he has to think about Dugu Yueyue.
If Liu Xin knew his idea, he would definitely be unable to help but scold him.
Dugu Yueyue is a dignified mid-grade Dacheng realm, and she is almost about to touch the threshold of the top-grade Dacheng realm, when will it be your turn to worry about a low-grade Dacheng realm.
Listening to Liulang muttering several times along the way, Liu Xin was already immune, so he thought that Liulang was acting to Dugu Yueyue.
Because every time Liulang asks like this, the corners of Dugu Yueyue's face and mouth can't help but raise an amplitude.
It's a small amount, but it's somewhere in the end.
"Forget it, it should be sacrificed for the happiness of my junior brother." Liu Xin comforted himself so much in his heart.
Fan Sisi watched this scene all the way, and regretted it in her heart.
I knew it earlier, and I forcibly endured the doubts and curiosity in my heart, and I didn't follow.
It's really heartbreaking.
Finally, the torment will finally end, and we will come to the door of the dungeon where we have come during the day, and no one has come here in the first place, during the day, and even more so at night.
Even if you are a watchman, you will rarely come here, and even if you do, you will speed up your pace.
The two stone foxes at the entrance of the dungeon looked a little terrifying.
Liu Xin walked forward in great strides, without the slightest concealment.
Rokuro and the others could only keep up.
Liulang was even more vaguely in front of Dugu Yueyue, beware of hidden arrows that might appear at any time.
And Fan Sisi could only carry his sword and carefully look around.
Dugu Yueyue is happy.
The dignified and high-quality realm has now become the appearance of this little woman.
Liu Xin came to the door of the dungeon, the door of the dungeon was unattended at night, and the big iron door was locked from the inside, even if it was a Dacheng Realm martial artist to forcibly open this door, it would take a certain amount of time.
It is impossible to enter quietly.
When he came to the iron gate, Liu Xin slapped a few times on the door as if he were visiting the door.
Turning sideways and seeing the three people behind him as if they were facing a great enemy, Ah No, it should be two people like a great enemy, and one person was immersed in happiness, Liu Xin couldn't help but feel a little funny.
And as time went by, the time was calculated, and Liu Xin stepped forward and knocked on the iron door again.
This time, Liu Xin had just taken two steps back, and the iron door creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a thief's head showed a head, glanced at Liu Xin, and then at the three of Liulang behind him, and then retracted his head without saying a word and opened the iron door from the inside.
There was no inquiry, no urging, just sneakily hiding in the shadows on the side, watching a few people.
Liu Xin motioned for everyone to follow, and then the four of them stepped into the iron door of the dungeon together, and after entering, the thief-headed man did not close the iron door, still looking at the backs of several people.
Several of them were masters, so they could naturally sense this undisguised gaze.
Liu Xin suddenly clenched his left hand into a fist, knocked it on the palm of his right hand, and said:
"I almost forgot, Yueyue, do you have gold on you?"
Dugu Yueyue shook her head innocently.
Liu Xin looked at Fan Sisi again, Fan Sisi was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly touched it from his purse and pinched out a gold leaf.
"Two taels of gold leaves, is it enough?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Enough." ”
Then he took the gold leaf and handed it to the middle-aged man with a thief's head.
The middle-aged man took the gold leaf silently, closed the iron door, locked it from the inside, and then came to several people and began to lead the way.
"Why don't you ask your junior brother for it!"
Fan Sisi only reacted at this time, why did he give it, Liu Xin hadn't asked Liulang yet.
"Yueyue didn't, and Rokuro definitely didn't either. If there is, Yueyue will give it to me when she shakes her head. Liu Xintou didn't go back to the tunnel.
"Senior brother, why did you give him money, why didn't he close the door just now, is there any way here?"
Seeing the curiosity in Dugu Yueyue's eyes, Liulang took the initiative to ask Liu Xin for her.
"Don't be so quiet, it's fine. This is the door pusher, and he needs his help to open the door of the black market. Otherwise, we'll really be in a dungeon, not a black market. ”
Liu Xin didn't hide the idea of his voice at all, and the middle-aged man in front of him kept moving forward, not caring about the discussion against him behind him.
"As for not closing the door, it's a reminder that this is a good person." Liu Xindao.
No gold was given, so the door was not closed, it was a reminder to them.
You can also close the door and not be reminded that in the depths of this dungeon, if they walk in, they don't know what they will encounter.
Rokuro is not a stupid person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Liu Xin's words.
The doorkeeper had not gone far with the four of them before he stopped in front of a stone wall.
Dugu Yueyue and Fan Sisi looked at their surroundings at this time.
Entering through the iron door at the entrance of the dungeon, there was nothing but this regular passage, and the oil lamps on the walls were dim.
And both of them could feel it, they kept going underground.
"Tricks!" At this moment, Liu Xin transmitted a message to the three of them.
Liu Xin had already checked the attribute panel of the middle-aged man in front of him, but he was only a cultivator at the peak of the Xiaocheng Realm, not a master.
And along the way, a total of three attribute panels appeared in front of Liu Xin, all of them were cultivators of the Dacheng Realm, and one of them was a middle grade.
The cultivation is not too high, at least for the four of them, they are not a strong enemy, but their hidden methods are extremely clever, and they use mechanisms, not their own exercises.
Therefore, even people with high cultivation levels can't feel them, and the reason why Liu Xin can detect it is entirely because of the relationship between the attribute panels.
After the property panel is upgraded, it is now possible to see other people's property panels through the wall.
Just because of the distance, the display size of the property panel is different.
I haven't used internal force to transmit sound before, and it's also because of the relationship between those people.
Internal force sound transmission is not a particularly clever skill, and some medium-grade Dacheng realms have special means that can be intercepted.
Of course, if his cultivation is a mid-grade Dacheng realm, then it doesn't matter.
But he is only a subordinate Dacheng realm, no matter how strong the combat power is, the essence of the internal force is still at this level, and some things cannot be avoided.
And here, without other Dacheng Realm martial artists, you can rest assured that you can use internal force to transmit sound.
"Where we are now, this passage is no longer leading to the dungeon." Liu Xinnei explained.
The other three people all had waves in their hearts, but there was no change in their faces.
The middle-aged man in front had already opened the secret door on the stone wall, which could only accommodate one person to pass through, and four people could only enter one by one.
Liu Xin naturally walked in front, Fan Sisi was second, and just as she was about to enter, the middle-aged man suddenly handed out two face towels.
"It's a return to your previous evaluation of me."
The middle-aged man said expressionlessly, Fan Sisi hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
Dugu Yueyue bowed slightly at the middle-aged man, thanking the other party, while Liulang was a little vigilant.
I just wanted to open my mouth to remind the two of them not to use this silk scarf casually, but I heard Liu Xin in front of me say:
"Miss Fan, Yueyue, you put on a silk scarf, it's okay."
When Fan Sisi and Dugu Yueyue heard this, they picked up the silk scarf and put it on their faces.
This silk scarf is very clean and does not smell any peculiar smell.
"Senior brother, is this person okay?"
"This is a black market, not a place where black eats black, it is a place where trade. Now we're just coming in and not going to do it to us for no reason. ”
Liu Xin opened his mouth to explain.
Of course, the main reason is that if the middle-aged man wants to eat black, he will not only give two face towels, but if he wants to make a move, he should also deal with the four of them, not only the two of them.
