To say that Liu Ming's Wantong Chamber of Commerce, Yanmu's Hualou and Chenbai's Jiang Gang spread the news through various channels, and on the third day, almost half of the rivers and lakes knew that Hua Ji reproduced the Guanyin Willow that stole the treasure of Tangmen Town.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, causing an uproar on the rivers and lakes, as if the bloody rain and bloody wind in the rivers and lakes six years ago reappeared in front of us.

For a while, it became a topic of chatter in wine shops and teahouses, and various theories emerged one after another, and the more they spread, the more evil they became.

On the morning when Xing Ti went to Jiangzhou Jiang Gang, Daqian's palace was not idle.

There is a person in the imperial study of the Daqian Palace, about thirty years old, with spirit and spirit, and he walks like a tiger. Dressed in a bright yellow robe, embroidered with the brocade of the nine days of dragon pride, the sleeves and cloak bands floating high under the sky, and the feet are wearing gold silk soft-trimmed shoes. The flying ink eyebrows were slightly raised, and the dark pupils were full of profundity, and the gestures showed the imperial demeanor.

It is the Great Qian Dynasty - Emperor Qian, Mo Zhenghao.

After retiring from the early dynasty, Emperor Qian, who was sitting in the imperial study, was reviewing the piled up like a small mountain, and he couldn't help but rub his temples with a slight headache, among which there were the first assistant's advice on the size of state affairs; there were miscellaneous affairs of the six ministries and departments of the six ministries and departments of the Ministry of Household Rites, Rites, Soldiers, and Criminal Works; there were those who supervised the temple and said which official disciplined and connived at his relatives to bully men and women, which official returned to listen to Yufang, and there were also those who advised themselves to learn from their ancestors Mingjun and be diligent in state affairs, and so on.

Originally, Emperor Qiandi also planned to carefully review one by one, but this looked like a trivial matter and gave him a headache, so he only deliberately left the military intelligence report of Shuzhou, the list of tributes of Nanshu and the military intelligence report of the border pass in the west, and let Gong Mu order all the people to move to the Yushu Hall to give the six scholars a headache.

I don't know when, a man in black came out silently from behind Emperor Qian.

"What, is there any news?" Emperor Qian did not look up, continued to look at his play, and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, look. In the indifferent pupils of the man in black, there was not the slightest wave or emotion, even if Emperor Qiandi was in front of him. As soon as he spoke, he handed a sealed file with the dark red word "Dragon" in his hand to Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qiandi opened it and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

The content is as follows: the Hu family in Lucheng in Tongzhou, the Jiang family in Linzhang City in Yanzhou, the historian in Sushui City in Bingzhou, the Gongye family in Feilai City in Qingchuan Prefecture and the Yin family in Guyue City were all killed that night. The total number of people killed was 173.

And then it comes with all the experience of Hua Ji's appearance in Liufu last night.,Including the details of the fight, it's written clearly.,It's more like I'm personally involved.。

......

The injuries suffered by the victims are all a bit like Hua Ji's exercises, but most of the dead are martial artists of the Eight Door Realm, and five of them are not many masters of the Four Elephant Realm, and the damage is inevitable, but none of the three masters of the Four Elephant Realm have been spared.

"It seems that Hua Ji has not been idle in the past six years since she disappeared, let me find out three points, where did the assassination of the people of the five families and one village go, what is the purpose of Hua Ji's theft of the Guanyin Willow of the Tang Gate, and take the pieces of the corpse of the Liufu last night from the Bamen Realm to the pseudo-Liangyi Realm to test it to see if the relevant drugs can be refined. Emperor Qiandi looked at the secret report and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"If you find out the hiding place of the Hua Ji organization, don't do it, after all, it was the imperial court that owed her back then, and she was also a hard-working woman. However, the whereabouts of Guanyin Liu must be investigated, it is best to get it before the Tang Gate, do not hurt the people of the Tang Gate, avoid conflicts, the progress of the medicine must be started immediately, and my inner library fully supports it. Once it can be mass-produced, the Northern Wei Dynasty, Southern Shu, and Western Yueshu will no longer be a big problem. Emperor Qian seemed to see himself leading Daqian to the prosperous world, and his tone couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Yes, my subordinates have orders. ”

"Also, remember to let the Shadow Dragon Guard spies over there in Nanshu pay close attention to the movements of armaments, grain and grass, and the world is estimated to be not peaceful. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean? According to the humble opinion of his subordinates, Nanshu's cultivation for more than 20 years cannot compete with my great cadres, if it weren't for Nanshu's reliance on the Sword Pavilion Heavenly Danger, I'm afraid there would have been a disaster to destroy the country. ”

Emperor Qian sneered and said: "What is Nanshu, even if you give him another hundred years, he is still not my opponent, but what I am worried about is that this time there may be the shadow of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Western Yueshu." ”

"This ......"

Emperor Qiandi interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "There's nothing to worry about, this is just my current speculation, is there any other news from the Shadow Dragon Guard?"

"There is also the fact that General Wei Dongwei has not left the house since he returned to Beijing, and he practices calligraphy and martial arts at home every day, and makes friends with tea. Everything else is inconsequential news. ”

"Well, Xiao Dong doesn't need to stare at it anymore, just make a show and show it to the hundred officials. ”

"Yes!" the man in black stopped speaking, and the black shadow disappeared into the study in a flash, without a trace.

What makes Emperor Qiandi speculate is that the list of annual tributes on the book case has not changed the quantity compared with previous years, but after the verification of the Ministry of Household in the past two years, the quality and value are not as good as the year after the year, which is a great disrespect to the kingdom. The second is the sudden appearance of Hua Ji to steal the treasure of the Tang Gate, Guanyin Willow, the world only knows that Guanyin Willow is a one-time range of Tang Gate's large-scale killing weapon, but Emperor Qiandi knows very well that this thing is a big killer to attack the city.

There are a total of three Guanyin willows in the Tang Gate, one of which was used when the first emperor attacked Shu twenty years ago. At that time, the Daqian army sang all the way, first breaking Shuzhou, then going down the Sword Pavilion Shu Road, then hitting Suzhou, and finally attacking under the capital of Shu Shaocheng, making the capital of Shu Shaocheng embattled.

Just when Nanshu was about to destroy the country, Nanshu used the power of the Tang Gate Guanyin Liu to surprise the soldiers, and three great masters of the Liangyi Realm and twenty masters of the Four Elephant Realm opened the way to bring three thousand elite black armor warriors of the Shu Kingdom. Three days and three nights without sleep, over the mountains and mountains, among which the cliffs, poisonous barriers, insects and snakes are innumerable, from the mountain down, like a god soldier descending from the sky, Nanshu to the sword pavilion plank road, three thousand black armor soldiers have been less than half, and the masters of the Four Elephant Realm have also lost four. The defenders of the plank road who were in a hurry to resist desperately defended it, and the smell of that battle was chilling, and the listeners were heartbroken. The three great masters of the Liangyi Realm of Shu died of exhaustion in order to cover the black armor warriors and the masters of the Four Elephant Realm to break through the plank road, and the black armor warriors of less than one thousand and five were all killed, and fifteen masters of the Four Elephant Realm were killed in battle. Because there was only one Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm in the Sword Pavilion Plank Road, he was defeated after the battle. In that battle, a total of one Liangyi Realm Grand Master, ten Four Elephant Realm masters, and five thousand elites were all killed.

In the end, the only passage to Southern Shu, the Jiange plank road, was broken, the grain road of the Daqian army was cut off, and the logistics could not keep up.

Although Shu cut off the grain route of the dry army, but also has no power to counterattack, and finally had to sue for peace, the two countries sent envoys to sign a covenant under the city, Shu paid tribute every year, and ceded the north of the Sword Pavilion, that is, the land of Shuzhou. Since then, the Tang Gate has also been under the jurisdiction of the Great Qian, and the master of the Tang Gate has dedicated the treasure of the Zhenzong Guanyin Willow to the Emperor Qian, in order to protect the peace.

"Father-in-law Mu. "Emperor Qian's voice is not loud, but he is full of energy.

I saw a figure swaying outside the door, with his head down, his hands under his abdomen, and walking forward with small steps. Recently, he was wearing a straight eunuch suit with white face, red lips, eyebrows and eyes, and an orchid finger on his hands in front of him.

"The minions are here. ”

"Wait for someone to carry these stacks of music to the Jade Office Hall, En~ Just say that I am in a depressed mood today and should not manage the government, and I have worked hard for the six scholars. ”

"No!"

Emperor Qian looked at Gonggong Mu and smiled slightly: "Look at this twist and turn to help me solve problems." ”

Saying that, Emperor Qian handed the information that Shadow Dragon Wei had just sent to Gonggong Mu.

"No!" Father-in-law Mu took it respectfully with both hands, and suddenly, a conspicuous dark red word "dragon" came into view.

Father-in-law Mu was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "The slave should die, the slave should die, long live the lord, you read it yourself, the slave doesn't dare to look at it." ”

Emperor Qian looked at Gonggong Mu's actions and said with a smile: "It's okay, look, I'm not afraid that your eunuch will be in power, wait for the afternoon meal to chat with me, otherwise I will be bored all day long." ”

Hearing this Emperor Qian's words, Gonggong Mu broke out in a cold sweat. Emperor Qiandi is not a benevolent monarch, but he is definitely a bright monarch, and he is also an ambitious and ambitious hero, and he does not dare to exceed the slightest.

"No, the slave obeys. ”

Gonggong Mu lay on the ground and waited until Emperor Qian went out before he dared to get up.

Because Uncle Liu was seriously injured by Blood Rose Ji and needed to recuperate, although Uncle Liu said that he was not in the way, Liu Ming was not at ease and let him come out to work.

In the afternoon, in the general meeting of the Kyoto Wantong Chamber of Commerce, Liu Ming was sitting in the lobby and discussing business with the rich people sitting on both sides.

When he first started talking about the issue of cooperation and profit distribution, a saber under his waist came to Liu Ming's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Liu Ming's face changed greatly, and he hugged his fists and apologized to the audience: "Everyone, I'm sorry, Liu has something important to deal with, and this cooperation will be postponed for a few days." After saying that, he hurriedly left the lobby, and his subordinates followed.

Just after Liu Ming left, several directors of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce came out and apologized to several wealthy businessmen.

"It doesn't matter, presumably Young Master Liu must have something important to leave in a hurry, but it's a pity that I'm waiting for the boat to come here. One of them said.

When even the principal said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, but now you can play in the capital for a few days, and my Liu Mansion will be fully responsible for the expenses, and then how about discussing business with our President Liu in detail?"

"Okay, that's a bother. ”

"Where, as it should be, you're welcome. ”

The businessmen here are all old customers of Liu Ming's father, although Liu Ming took over, but these old customers still trust the golden sign of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. Liu Ming is not only young and capable, but also humble and polite to people, without the slightest arrogance. Presumably something big must have happened, so I left in a hurry. Besides, his subordinates can also do things, so naturally there is nothing to say, and it will only take a few days to delay.

"Young master, Gongzi Yan has left the capital. In addition...... "The subordinate is named Fei Xiong, and he is obviously not a trivial matter for the second thing."

"Anything else, to the point, quickly. Liu Ming's face sank, and the power of being the master couldn't help but appear. Liu Ming knew that Fei Xiong would not come in and disturb when he was discussing things with others, unless the sky really fell.

"Young master, the mountain reported that the batch of tributes in Nanshu was robbed on the way from Jiangzhou to Kyoto. Fei Xiong paused, and continued with a sad expression on his face: "The Punishment Master and the Jiang Gang's left protector Qi Hong brothers are missing, and none of the 123 brothers who escorted Sui Gong survived, all of them were killed with one blow, and all of them were knife wounds. ”

Liu Ming was furious after hearing this: "Check it for me, use all forces to investigate, let the Jiang Gang in the capital also move, and tell the news to Chen Bai immediately, Master Xing and Qi Hong cannot afford to lose." ”

"Yes, I have already sent someone to inform the Chen Gang Master, and all the spies have been sent out to investigate. Obviously, Fei Xiong was not idle, and immediately made effective countermeasures.

Liu Ming thought for a moment and continued: "Once the Sui Gong is gone, and Master Xing and Qi Protector are missing, the crime will definitely fall on the Jiang Gang at that time. Fei Xiong, you immediately go to the household department to ask for a list of annual tributes, and inform the household department Yamen Wantong Chamber of Commerce to help count the annual tributes and send them to Chaotian Pavilion in person. You get the list, let the chamber of commerce to which Vantone belongs around raise materials, and if you don't have it, you spend money to buy it, regardless of the price, and if you can't buy it, let the people below rush to make it overnight. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”

"Wait. Fei Xiong was about to retreat when he was stopped by Liu Ming.

"The young master still has something to order. ”

Liu Ming thought for a while and said: "I can't hide this matter, I guess I'll know in the palace later, I want to meet Emperor Qian." ”

"Yes. ”

After Fei Xiong left, Liu Ming said angrily: "The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and there is no peace, but if you dare to provoke me Wantong Chamber of Commerce to provoke my Liu family, I Liu Ming will smash it for you even if I use silver." ”

Inside the Royal Palace.

Emperor Qiandi had lunch with Concubine Shu in Anning Palace, because the scenery in the imperial garden in autumn was average, and the weather was slightly cold, so Emperor Qiandi came to Anning Palace.

"Shouldn't Your Majesty be dining in the imperial study today, how can you think of the concubine's side?" Concubine Shu chatted while pouring wine for Emperor Qian.

"Why, Concubine Shu doesn't welcome me!" Emperor Qian deliberately teased.

Concubine Shu sneered and said, "Your Majesty said that it was too late for the concubine to rejoice, how could she not welcome it." Your Majesty ignores the government and politics, and I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be no shortage of nagging from the supervision temple. ”

"Hey, I'm used to it, let them say go, there is no mental politics today, and it's nothing important, I asked Grandpa Mu to move to the Jade Hall and let the six old scholars deal with it. Emperor Qian said while drinking and eating.

Concubine Shu covered her mouth lightly and giggled: "It's a few scholars who have suffered." ”

After saying that, Emperor Qiandi laughed, and his mood was even more happy, the beauty poured wine, enjoyed the delicacies, and held the authority of the world, life is nothing more than this.

A little eunuch outside the door ran to the side of Father-in-law Mu and whispered: "Manager Mu, Young Master Liu Mingliu of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce asks to see you." ”

Gonggong Mu waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to retreat, knocked on the door frame and whispered: "Your Majesty, Young Master Liu Mingliu of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce asks to see you." ”

Emperor Qian was slightly surprised and said: "Oh, it's rare for our Young Master Liu to enter the palace, hurry up and announce that he has come to see me." ”

"No!" Then Mu Gonggong said loudly: "Xuan Liu Ming will see you." ”

I saw Liu Ming at the gate of the outer gate of the Anning Palace, under the leadership of the little eunuch, walking inward.
