Chapter 52: New Cheng'an

Duanmu Chunming was still quite tough, and he was imprisoned in the Red Lotus Hall for three days, and with the means of the Golden Needle Hall, he actually stood up, without revealing a trace of useful information about the Daomen, and repeatedly shouted and scolded in addition to scolding.

"Cheng Shizhu, I have to admit that even the poor monk can't help but admire him, the ability to boil the torture is first-class in the world, and the poor monk has rarely seen such a tough character for decades. ”

"Can't ask a little bit?"

"How can I say it, such a punishment, the average person either can't hold back his mouth and spit out, or he is delirious and faints. But this Duanmu, the more ruthless he was punished, the more fierce he scolded, and his sanity always remained clear, without the slightest sign of fainting, the first master of the Red Lotus Hall Sen Luo personally cast a heart mantra, and he was able to survive, which was really unheard of. ”

"Oh...... But what is this going to do?

"What to do?" Sex really smiled, "I can only kill." Tenryuin decided to publicly execute him the day after tomorrow as an example. ”

"What charges?"

"What other crime can it be? Of course, it was the enemy's meticulous work...... Well, don't worry about it, Tianlong Academy wants to protect businessmen like you who are willing to take risks communicating with Mingxia, so the assassination of you will not be mentioned in the charge, so Cheng Shizhu can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

At noon the day after tomorrow, the Imperial City Division in the south of the city also invited the Cheng donor to go and watch the punishment together. ”

"This ...... I'm a small businessman, and I'm from Daming, and my identity is inconvenient, so why don't you go?"

"Don't worry about becoming a donor, hundreds of people will watch the punishment, and I will arrange it for you in the corner to ensure that it meets your ...... Hmm, what do you mean by the word "benefactor"? Oh, low-key, yes, low-key habits. ”

"Uh...... So, more work. ”

"By the way, the poor monk has a friend in Tianlong Academy, the law name is Mingjue, and after observing the punishment, he introduced him to the benefactor. This friend of the poor monk is better than the poor monk in calligraphy, and he has a few new works recently, and when the time comes, he will take them out and invite the benefactor to taste and taste. ”

"The master's friend must be a high monk, and his calligraphy attainments must be extraordinary, and then Cheng can open his eyes. ”

Late that night, Zhao Ran came out of the noisy club restaurant, and as soon as he returned to his study, he saw a figure flash out from behind the door.

Zhao Ran was startled, and his fingers touched the storage wrench, and he was just about to take the talisman magic weapon to defend himself against the enemy, but he heard the other party say softly: "Senior brother." ”

Zhao Ran was stunned: "Are you?" Looking carefully, this person looks like he is in his thirties, his appearance is ordinary, and he can't see any foundation in an instant.

The other party wiped his face, and in the blink of an eye, he changed a person, who is not "Cheng An"?

"Xin Cheng'an" called a jade slip, and Zhao Ran took it and merged it with the jade slip he brought, and slowly merged into one, which means that the token is right.

Zhao Ran breathed a long sigh of relief: "Senior brother, you are here, I have been here for more than a year!"

Xin Chengan smiled: "I'm sorry junior brother, but it's not my responsibility, I came here in a hurry." ”

Zhao Ran asked, "Senior brother is from Sanqing Pavilion?"

Xin Chengan waved his hand: "According to the rules, you are not allowed to inquire about each other's origins." ”

Zhao Ran said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry...... When did Senior Brother set off?"

Xin Cheng'an said: "Twenty days ago. I could have arrived five days early, but there was another big battle on the side of White Horse Mountain, and the checkpoints were very tight, and I took a lot of detours. ”

"The big war, did we lose and win?"

"Won, I heard that the Xia people were pocketed, and the number of beheadings is unknown, but the Ming army has reached the foot of Baima Mountain, and the big camp has been erected. ”

"......Great! Senior brother knows, what is the situation of the person sent before?"

Xin Chengan shook his head: "I don't know this, but there are many similar things, for the sake of the Daomen, my generation sacrificed too much!"

Zhao Ran was silent, poured two glasses of wine from the table, and handed a glass to Xin Cheng'an. Together, the two of them spilled the wine on the floor as a sacrifice to the unfortunate old man.

Next, Zhao Ran set up a Wei Dao talisman outside the room, which can be used to detect changes and fluctuations in the qi in the distance, so as to detect suspicious people in advance, which is Zhao Ran's favorite talisman.

After the talisman was laid out, the study was relatively safe, so Zhao Ran began to hand over to Xin Chengan.

This handover is mainly in three aspects, one is to describe in detail all his experiences from the first day to today, Zhao Ran made a jade slip for this, just like a diary of later generations, Xin Cheng'an looked at the jade slip with his divine sense, you can know what Zhao Ran has done every day, if there is something incomprehensible, Zhao Ran will explain immediately.

In the future, when Xin Cheng'an faces it alone, if there is anything incomprehensible, he can quickly check it from the jade slip on the spot. Of course, the sequelae are not without it, at least the four-word comment of "unresponsive" may not be escapable.

The second aspect to be handed over is the ins and outs of the three major industries of Jinbo Club, Jinbo Auction House, and Tianma Pharmaceutical. This question is very complicated, and there are the most twists and turns, and Xin Chengan can only say that he has touched a little bit of the veins after listening to it.

Zhao Ran didn't have a good way to do this, this is a new set of economic thoughts, not something that can be learned in a moment, so Zhao Ran told Xin Cheng'an that if there is a problem in the future, he will listen to Liang Xingxia's opinions.

Of course, it is impossible to follow Liang Xingxia in everything, otherwise even if Xin Cheng'an is not set aside, it is easy to arouse Liang Xingxia's suspicion - the same person, why is the gap so big?

The third major part of the handover is the network relationship that Zhao Ran has established in the past year, and Zhao Ran drew a sketch for this, marking all aspects on it and linking them with each other.

Looking at the hundreds of names that formed a dense grid on this map, Xin Cheng'an was speechless for a while.

In terms of the court: Empress Dowager Liang's niece Rou'an County Lord, Kaifeng Mansion Yin's son-in-law Gao Dayanei, Privy Deputy Envoy's son-in-law Yeli Huaide, Fangdang's sister-in-law Gu Lebuhun, Privy Council Contractor Li Xinglong, Kaifeng Mansion Judge Luo Jinfeng......

Buddhism: Master Kongzhi, the first master of the north hall of Wentian Temple, Master Longyang, the abbot of Tianmatai Temple, and Master Wulan, the abbot of Jialan Temple......

In terms of luxury businessmen: Li Cunqi, a wealthy businessman in Xiazhou, Du Ruhe, a wealthy businessman in Yinzhou, and Ale, a wealthy businessman in Loulan......

Xin Cheng'an studied in Zhao Ran's study for a whole night, but he learned so much. When it was dawn, he couldn't help but sigh: "Senior brother, where are you here to be a secret pile?
