When Zhou Ang came to the county Zhu Yamen, he had already missed the time to eat, but this did not affect his extremely happy mood now.

The status of each other is not equal, coupled with the resources in Zhou Ang's hands, which is exactly what every underground cultivator desires the most, and it is destined that this transaction between him and Guo Da has not even been negotiated.

As soon as the condition of one demon corpse per month was thrown, Guo Da basically could only let Zhou Angyu ask for it.

So it only took a short time, and the two sides "happily" finalized a series of cooperation matters: Guo Da first had to help Zhou Ang search for a weapon at the next party.

Of course, Zhou Ang paid for it.

According to Zhou Ang, this is a test of the foundation of cooperation between the two sides, and it is also a return of Guo Da, who has rarely appeared at various trade fairs in recent months, to pave the way for the next referral and guarantee.

Next, Zhou Ang is responsible for providing Guo Da with a demon corpse, which is also a test of the foundation of cooperation between the two sides - although Guo Da was hung by Zhou Ang, and even did not hesitate to help Zhou Ang do a lot of things for this, but the premise was that Zhou Ang did not fool him.

When these two steps are completed, Guo Da will officially vouch for Zhou Ang and take him to the two underground fairs in Lingzhou City—he is obviously qualified to vouch.

In terms of specific timing, combined with the different trading hours of the two underground trade fairs organized and controlled by "Mr. Big" and "Old Dao Chang" respectively, there will be two trade fairs on August 21 and August 23, and at that time, the cooperation between the two will take the first step.

In addition, Zhou Ang promised not to mobilize official forces to target Lao Guo's blacksmith shop, and Lao Wu, the shopkeeper of Lao Guo's blacksmith shop, will continue to cooperate officially as an informant of the county Zhu Yamen.

The cooperation between the two sides should be regarded as opening a small window in addition to the business-to-business group chat.

Such cooperation conditions are almost all under Zhou Ang's control, and once the deal is reached, he is of course very comfortable in his heart.

As a result, he had just returned to the county Zhu Yamen, although he missed the meeting, it was a pity, but there was still good news waiting for him - he had just entered the official room and sat down, Du Yi rushed over and handed him something that could be called an "investigation report".

Although the county Zhu Yamen has been in a hurry to produce results recently, and has divided the official cultivators under his command into three, and went out to collect clues, and even Gao Jing has personally dispatched to lead the team, but this will not affect the normal operation of the county Zhu Yamen and the informants in various places under the control of the county Zhu Yamen.

In Lingzhou City, the county Zhu Yamen wants to find out who it is, and it may not be easy to go too deep, but the basic information is still easy to capture, and it is effortless.

And compared with the briefness and sparseness of the results of the last survey, after Zhou Ang designated the key investigation targets, the current report looks extremely detailed.

The fine block was actually written on a full six pages.

Zhou Ang thanked him after taking it, and then took a closer look, and Du Yi was not in a hurry to leave, now everyone was going out with tasks, and the office room was empty, so he casually found a chair and sat down, as if he wanted to wait for Zhou Ang to finish reading and then talk.

They knew each other very well, and Zhou Ang didn't greet him, just focused on the information in front of him.

This information directly collects and sorts out all the things that Zhou Ang knows and doesn't know, all the things about Li Xian and Li Huzi, even his few hidden concubines, several hidden properties, possible interpersonal relationships behind it, and even a number of cases in which he has captured a little shadow in previous years, all of which are listed, which can definitely be called extremely detailed.

However, it is such a piece of information, if the prior deduction is excluded, it is not difficult for anyone to come to a conclusion purely from the actions of this person—this guy may not be without petty evils, but in general, he is indeed a good law-abiding citizen!

That's the fun!

The more he saw the back, the more Zhou Ang couldn't help frowning.

I don't know how long it has been, Zhou Ang finally finished reading the last page, but he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This Li Xian is actually ...... It's so clean!"

When Du Yi heard this, he finally came back to his senses from the carver who was studying the deck of pai gow in the official room, and said with a smile: "Yes! After collecting this news, I couldn't help but be surprised while ordering someone to transcribe and sort it out. I hadn't paid attention to this Jiangshang tycoon before, but this investigation found that this person has been making a fortune in 20 years, from having no food and clothing to being extremely rich, and he has been so clean all the way!"

After a pause, he said again: "In addition to these things on the paper, there are some things that are inconvenient to put on paper, according to the information investigated by my subordinates, this person's door leads directly to the Taishou Mansion." ”

Seeing Zhou Ang turning his head in surprise, he said calmly: "This person will donate a certain amount of silver to the Taishou Mansion every year, and use rare things and the like, and he can't describe it in detail, in addition, although most of the business in his hands is on the river, but the trade route to Chang'an in the north, he is not completely rootless, and even according to the investigation, he will have a time once or twice a year, and will disappear for twenty or thirty days, and his subordinates all say that he went to Chang'an, so it is impossible to say that he is on the Chang'an side, and he may have some foundation." ”

"All in all, in a word, although this person started very low and rose extremely fast, he was neither an ordinary tycoon nor a rich man living in one place!"

Zhou Ang nodded slowly and said, "It's no wonder he's so clean!"

In fact, not to mention the sudden rise of a tycoon like him, at least in the early days of his development, it is almost impossible not to involve some of the crimes and bloodshed of the primitive accumulation of capital, even if it is those big businessmen who honestly abide by their business, how many dare to say that they are absolutely clean?

The wealth of the people is moving, and the big businessmen not only deal with money every day, but they are also very rich, even if they don't provoke others, just to protect themselves, they have to raise some minions in their hands.

However, if you take the line of Taishoufu, it is not difficult to wash your resume - it is not much different from the relationship between the county order and Lingzhou County, Lingzhou County Taishou is an absolute feudal official, and even the line of official cultivators of Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen is nominally under the jurisdiction of Taishou, and at critical moments, Taishou can directly recruit local official practitioners to perform special tasks.

This is completely different from the fact that the county government has no binding force on the county Zhu Yamen, and even relies on the county Zhu Yamen to provide protection during special periods and special circumstances.

But...... Such a clean information, as well as these things dictated by Du Yi, not only did not erase the suspicion of Li Xian, but at least Zhou Ang here, it locked him more and more.

Even if he is not the "big man", he is definitely a big tiger!

At this time, Du Yi saw Zhou Ang's thoughtful look, and couldn't help but ask him: "Zixiu, you asked me to investigate this person, could it be that there is any case?"

Zhou Ang shook his head when he heard this, and said frankly: "No." When I was just chatting with someone, I happened to learn that the Lu family had moved here from Zhanzhou, and all the utensils and property were transported by this person's fleet, so I was curious for a while, so I wanted to check on this person. Now it seems that my judgment has basically been confirmed. ”

Du Yi smiled: "This person is an underground cultivator?"

Zhou Ang laughed.

For those of them, it is all too normal to come to this conclusion with this enormous amount of investigative data in hand – or rather, there is almost no second possibility.

However, it is not illegal for underground cultivators to be in transgression.

Zhou Ang explained: "Grasp some information in advance, on the one hand, to solve the doubts in my heart, on the other hand, to save it for emergencies, at least so that when you encounter certain things, you don't know anything about this person!"

Du Yi nodded when he heard this, but still said, "But ...... That's all it takes!"

Zhou Ang was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Du Yi's subtext, and nodded immediately.

is still the same sentence, the Taishou Mansion is to Lingzhou County, which is definitely different from the county government to Lingzhou County. The power of a county is too great.

And this Li Xian is obviously too guarded by the mansion!

Once the investigation is crossed, Li Xian is aware of it, and he can't say that the county Zhu Yamen will be called to be beaten!

Therefore, at this point, it is just right - the county Zhu Yamen already knows that he is very likely to be an underground cultivator, and even with his financial resources and status, he can vaguely speculate that there may be a group of underground cultivators around him, and it is enough to know that he has close business contacts with the Zhanzhou Lu clan, a cultivator family who has recently moved to the local area, and it is also very likely that there is a certain degree of practitioner-level exchanges.

Although the responsibility for controlling the overall situation of the local area lies with the county Zhu Yamen, the county Zhu Yamen has a little more information, which is always more conducive to controlling the local situation in the future.

After exchanging some things with each other, Du Yi said goodbye and left, and Zhou Ang himself was suddenly left on the side of the official room.

Zhou Ang stayed alone in the office, holding this information in his hand, taking the test for a long time, laughing "hey", then got up and found an empty brazier, shook his hand slightly, and saw that the information suddenly burst into flames, and then Zhou Ang threw it into the brazier, and didn't care.

For him, collecting information about Li Xian and trying to lock down the real identity of "Mr. Big" is just to get a bottom about his next entry into the underground trade fair.

If cultivators, secret sects, and so on are considered to be the hidden underwater parts of this world, then in Zhou Ang's view, this kind of underground trade fair is the deep sea that cannot be exposed to sunlight all year round.

Before stepping inside, try to find out what information you can find out, and obviously be prepared.

But even if he couldn't determine anything for the time being, Zhou Ang was still not afraid.

Since the teacher Lu Duan gave him the truth that night, he has become more and more sure that whether it is in the world of cultivation or in the real Tang officialdom, his foundation is far deeper than he expected!

I've heard that the monthly pass has doubled?
