Second watch, Yunzhong Mansion, the mansion of the governor.

The new governor Liu Liang frowned and looked at the piece of information in his hand, silent in thought.

Liu Liang looked like he was in his forties, his hair was jet black, his beard was meticulously carried, two nasolabial folds were deeply engraved on his face, and his eyes were like knives, making him look extremely difficult to deal with.

The Great Xuan Law stipulates that the state lord in charge of a state needs to have enough force to control the local soldiers and horses to deter the local gangs, so he generally sends the innate peak or even the master of the outer god to fill the position. Of course, some famous sects have the peak of the outer gods or the masters of the heavenly and human realms, which is not something that the state lord can deter. When encountering this kind of sect, the state lord had no choice but to negotiate honestly.

However, these sects are all heads and faces, and they live in other people's territories, and they generally do not give face to the state lord, so the state lord mainly deters those vast low-level sects.

Due to the remoteness of Yunzhou, there are no high-ranking sects, and the most powerful master is just a sect innate eightfold Taishang Elder. Therefore, the realm of the state lord is about this level. For example, Liu Liang has an innate sevenfold, but holding the Zhenzhou Dragon and Tiger Seal and the Baotu Mountain and River Sword cast by the imperial court that can link the local atmosphere of the state's officials, that innate eightfold is really not necessarily an opponent. You must know that in the past, there was a record of Xiantian Prefecture hosting the two treasure forces to fight against the outer gods and hit them hard.

Liu Liang pondered the time of a pillar of incense motionlessly, and finally reached out and pulled the thin thread next to him, and after a while, a big man in his early thirties came in from outside the door, with a capable temperament, and asked with a fist: "My lord, what is there to command the lowly position?"

"Kaguya, the Konwu Division sent a letter of information, saying that the soul lamp of one of their newly entered secret agents was extinguished for no reason a month ago. At that time, the spy happened to come to Yunzhou for a vacation, and he was going to Huinan Mansion to visit friends, but he disappeared on the way and never arrived in Huinan Mansion, so they sent a letter to ask if we knew, what do you think about this matter?"

Dahan Bai Huiye thought for a moment and asked, "My lord, didn't you say how this secret agent entered Yunzhou?"

"Do you still need to ask, apart from Tinghe, how can there be a good way to walk this season?"

"That subordinate thinks that it's either Yuhu Village or the Tinghe Gang!"

Liu Liang raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Oh, let's talk about it." ”

Bai Huiye pondered for a moment and said: "Yunzhou is remote, there are not many innate masters, and even if the secret spy of the Martial Arts Division is a newcomer, because he has practiced the kung fu of the Martial Arts Division, there will be no problem in dealing with the innate two or three of this kind of mountain gang, and it is impossible to be killed silently." ”

"Besides, even if he is on vacation, he must still have the token of the Martial Arts Division on his body, and when he shows his identity in a crisis, ordinary people will not dare to kill him. And on the Tinghe River, the only ones who can be destroyed so easily and are not afraid of the retaliation of the Martial Arts Division are the Tinghe Gang and the Great Water Thief Yuhu Village, who control the Tinghe River. What's more, they are both 。。。。。。 As he said this, Bai Kaguya's voice lowered.

"Yes, the two of them are inextricably linked," Liu Liang said without scruples, "Aren't we ordered to come to Yunzhou just to investigate them." But I didn't expect that after more than a year of coming, we didn't even go out of the state capital!" Speaking of this, anger appeared on Liu Liang's face.

Bai Huiye didn't care about him, just clenched his fists and replied: "My lord, before we came, we didn't expect that the Tinghe Gang would operate the entire Yunzhou in a few years, so the situation is difficult to open, but now the Martial Arts Division has sent us a ready-made excuse, we can try to reach the river!"

"Well, you're right," Liu Liang nodded and said, "In this way, you go back and pack up, and quietly go to Huinan Mansion tomorrow to see if you can find the friend he wants to visit, hear some news, and then make plans." ”

"Yes. Bai Huiye clenched his fists in agreement, and then retreated.

Liu Liang looked at the information in his hand and sneered on his face: "Hmph, Tinghe Gang!"

The Great Xuan Dynasty was mountainous in the north and watery in the south, and the widest and longest river was called the Yuan River, which means the most early Yuan river. The Yuanjiang River flows out of the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, and the tributaries continue to converge on the way, gradually growing, and so on to Wuzhou, which is close to the East China Sea, the river surface has been about dozens of miles wide, cutting off the north and south, and only the boat travels.

Although Yunzhou is also close to the 100,000 mountains, the 100,000 mountains envelop the west and south of Yunzhou, and continue to extend from north to south, so the Yuanjiang River does not pass through Yunzhou, but originates from the 100,000 mountains at the border of Xizhou in the north of Yunzhou and goes all the way to the east. However, although Yunzhou does not have the Yuan River, there is a long river that also flows out of the mountains - the Ting River. The Tinghe River passes through Yunzhou from south to north, and its tributaries are continuous, connecting the entire Yunzhou like blood vessels, and finally flowing into the Yuanjiang River from Xizhou, becoming another source of it.

The Tinghe River is the lifeline of Yunzhou located in the corner, and the materials needed by Yunzhou are from the Yuanjiang River into the Tinghe River, and then transported to various prefectures and counties. After that, it was dispersed into various parts of Yunzhou through those tributaries. The reason why Huinan Province is underdeveloped is that a tributary near it is shallow and narrow, and it cannot be navigated by large boats, so it cannot be developed.

Originally, there were countless small gangs on the Tinghe River, which jointly undertook the freight channels in the Tinghe River, which was also convenient for the government to control and monitor. But I didn't expect that Fang Xiaotian, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, a small gang from Tingyin ten years ago, suddenly emerged, and broke through the innate when he was only in his early twenties, first subdued the big and small gangs in Tingyin Mansion, forced them to merge into the Dajiang Gang, and then attacked up and down the Tinghe River, constantly establishing rudders in Yanhefu County, and grabbing territory.

Originally, Fang Xiaotian was only a newcomer to the innate realm, and the gangs in the other big mansions didn't care, which big gang on the river didn't have an innate master in charge? But he didn't expect that this Fang gang leader's kung fu was extremely powerful, and at that time, he was only in the realm of the innate one heaven, and he could defeat the master of the three heavens. And he didn't know where to find four masters who were either congenital or acquired peaks to act as elders, and followed him around to fight.

In fact, at that time, the gangs along the river were not without the strength to fight back, and they would definitely be able to make up more than a dozen innate masters when they joined forces, but Fang Xiaotian was not bad in addition to his kung fu in his hands. With his incorruptible tongue, he actually persuaded many short-sighted people, and the contradictions accumulated by various gangs in ordinary times made it impossible for them to form an alliance.

Moreover, every time Fang Xiaotian attacked another gang, he was famous, which made people have a seizure. Fang Xiaotian, a gang who was far away, would also greatly benefit them, and even made them feel that Fang Xiaotian was a person who could get along.

As a result, in just five years, Fang Xiaotian's power rose greatly, not only did he rise to the Triple Heaven, but the four elders under his command also achieved their innateness, and at this time, those gangs in a corner of the country found that the most important part of the Tinghe River was occupied by Fang Xiaotian, they either surrendered or finished playing, there was no third way, and in the end they had to obediently serve Fang Xiaotian as the leader of the alliance, and all the passing ships had to pay money to the Dajiang Gang.

Fang Xiaotian didn't press too hard, he still gave those little gangs a bite to eat, but in the past few years, they had been greedy for cheap, and they had already earned back from their share of money. And these small gangs will encounter the thief ships of Yuhu Village from time to time, and they can only barely make ends meet. And since Fang Xiaotian controlled eighty percent of the river transportation of the Tinghe River, he changed the name of his gang to the Tinghe Gang to show that his family was dominant.

The remaining 20% of the river transportation belongs to the industry of the state lord's government, and Fang Xiaotian never went against the official, but handed over a large amount of filial piety to the state lord's mansion, so the two sides have been safe. It's just that more than a year ago, the previous state lord was promoted and left, and the current Lord Liu Liang Liu is the new state lord, and Fang Xiaotian has not yet hooked up with him.

Of course, Liu Liang is here to check on this Fang Xiaotian, as for why he is checked, even Liu Liang doesn't know, it is said that there is a higher-level game there, and he can only act on orders.

Originally, Liu Liang should have 20% of the shipping business in his hands, as an opportunity for him to enter the Tinghe River, but unfortunately the previous governor seemed to know that Liu Liang was coming to check some things, so he directly took his salary from the bottom of the kettle and gave these businesses to the local clans, and only let them pay the money to the governor every month, but the governor could not interfere in the management of the matter.

The previous governor has been here for more than ten years, and all kinds of relationships are intertwined, even if he leaves, his influence will still be there for a while, and Liu Liang has just arrived, and it is not easy to tear his face with the local clan, so now he is entangled in these government affairs and has no chance to investigate the case.

This case of the death of the secret agent of the Armed Forces Control Division is a good opportunity. Originally, as the department of the imperial court to monitor the rivers and lakes, there were countless secret spies, and because there were many unruly people in the rivers and lakes who did not obey discipline, there have been casualties. Not every case of casualty can be traced. In addition, the one who died this time was just a middle and low-level secret agent who was not on a mission for the first time, so for them, it was just a routine letter to ask, the Control and Martial Arts Division had branches in various prefectures and counties, and they were to investigate if they wanted to investigate, and this information was more of a sign of respect for Liu Liang.

But now it seems that this matter is likely to be a breakthrough for Liu Liang, so he must find a way to catch it and tear a hole from the airtight net of Yunzhou!
