Chapter 0216 - Go to Jiangnan

Zhao Bufan's words made Zhi Yuezhi angry, and she stomped her foot angrily, her pretty face hinted at it: "Then according to what you say, don't we do nothing and let him get away with it?

"Heroes don't live long, I'm not a hero, I'm a bear!" Zhao Bufan replied casually.

"You ......"

Zhi Yuezhi was so angry that she was about to scold on the spot, and Yang Yizhong next to her hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be excited, the adult must have his considerations, if the adult has no idea, he will take us to Xiangyang to check what Wansheng Villa is doing!"

Zhi Yuezhi glanced at Zhao Bufan angrily.

"I know, but I'm just feeling aggrieved now, and I'm angry when I hear his words, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can I do it?"

Zhao Bufan ignored her and quickly turned over and got on the horse.

"Let's go, let's go to Wansheng Villa first!"

When the words fell, he was already the first to urge the horse forward, and Zhang Xian, Shang Kunyang and others also hurriedly got on the horse and followed.

Seeing that Zhao Bufan ignored him, Zhi Yuezhi stomped his feet in annoyance, curled his rosy lips, and reluctantly got on the horse.

It doesn't take too long to travel more than 30 miles, and when Zhao Bufan arrived at Wansheng Villa, there was not much popularity here, and all around were empty, only outside the red lacquered gate of Zhuangzi, there were still more than a dozen people carrying sundries to the carriage.

Seeing Zhao Bufan and several people suddenly appear, carrying weapons with them, they drew their swords one after another, and shouted vigilantly and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Zhao Bufan reined in the war horse, looked at it slightly, and asked coldly: "Are you from Wansheng Villa?"

The leader had a scar on his right eye, obviously blind, but his left eye could see, he looked carefully for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Who is Your Excellency?

"I am a friend of your owner Wan Qiansheng, and I have something important to discuss with him!"

Scar's eyes showed suspicion, and he shook his head and said: "Right now, the anti-thief king is in great power, and the owner of my family has already evacuated Xiangzhou first, please go back!"

Tempting out that the person in front of him was not Wan Qiansheng, Zhao Bufan quickly took out a token from his arms.

The scarred face was stunned for a moment, and he looked at it for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed: "Purple Ghost Order!"

"Where is the golden ghost?" Zhao Bufan asked in a cold voice.

Scarface saw him take out the purple ghost order, and heard him shout out the name of the golden ghost of Wan Qiansheng, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Lord Qiqi Purple Ghost, Lord Golden Ghost has indeed evacuated Xiangzhou first, and now only the villain is left with a dozen brothers to carry the last sundries, I wonder what is the matter with Lord Purple Ghost?"

Zhao Bufan thought about it for a while, and said improvised: "I will be ordered by the head ghost to convey some affairs and take me to the golden ghost!"

"Head ghost!" Scarface gasped, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and replied hurriedly: "Lord Golden Ghost has been ordered by Lord Shura Ghost to give up Xiangzhou, buy land in Qinghua Town, north of Wuyuan County, Shezhou, and re-establish Wansheng Villa!"

"When did he leave?" Zhao Bufan asked with a cold face.

"It has been more than half a month since the owner set off, but they are carrying a lot of gold and silver, and the journey should be very slow, maybe it will arrive, maybe it will be a few days away, and the subordinates can't say!"

"Then why are you only leaving now?, are all your own people here?" Zhao Bufan asked.

Scar-eyed nodded and said: "Returning to Lord Purple Ghost, there are all ghosts present, Lord Wanzhuang recently ordered us to assassinate officials from the surrounding prefectures, and we pretended to be a thief under Wang Qing to assassinate the Yicheng County Ling family, so we finally evacuated!"

"Something went wrong?" Zhao Bufan raised his eyebrows.

Scarface was frightened instantly, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Lord Purple Ghost, the two sons of Yicheng County Order have very high martial arts, we were careless, let them carry a letter to highlight the encirclement, but when we chased to Yingchang Mansion, we still succeeded in killing the two of them, completed the task, never missed a single person, and the letter was intercepted!"

Zhao Bufan's heart was cold, but his face was full of ruthlessness: "Xinke is still there?"

"It's on the subordinate!" Scareye nodded hurriedly.

"Bring it to me!" Zhao Bufan shouted.

Scarlet looked at him, slightly hesitant.

"Do you dare to disobey?" Zhao Bufan instantly narrowed his eyes.

"Don't dare!" Scar replied in a panic, stood up, took out a blood-stained silk cloth from his arms, and hurriedly walked to Zhao Bufan's horse.

Zhao Bufan's face was cold, and he gently took the blood letter, only feeling that it was as heavy as a thousand catties, although he hadn't read it yet, he had already guessed the general content.

He took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the blood book!

Sure enough......

The above is full of Xiangzhou Yicheng County Commander complaining bitterly about Wang Qing's rebellion, the corpses of the people are all over the field, and the surrounding prefecture officials are coerced by Tong Jian and conceal the matter!

The words written in blood shook people's hearts!

Look at it......

The tragic scene of the slaughter of Yicheng County Lingmanmen seemed to be right in front of him, and the two sons fled with his blood book, but they were brutally chased and killed by the group of ghosts in front of them.

Zhao Bufan's eyes turned red, he took a deep breath, and paused word by word.

"Leave not a single one!"

Zhi Yuezhi, who had long been unbearable, jumped up from her horse, Xuan Bing's palm was as cold as frost, and with her full of indignation, she shot out with tears.

Yang Yizhong, Zhang Xian, and Shang Kunyang roared in a deep voice, scrambling to attack first, but they hated that they couldn't break the corpses of the people in front of them.

In a short period of time, more than a dozen ghost killers almost failed to react and quickly died.

Zhao Bufan carefully put away the blood book, led everyone to search carefully, and found the assassination list of the ghost pawn, and immediately wrapped the two pieces of supporting evidence in coarse cloth, put them in the bag and handed them to Zhang Xian.

"Zhang Xian, take this burden well, go back to Beijing now to find my wife Zhu Lian, and let her be sure to hand it over directly to Liang Shicheng and transfer it to the saint!"

"It must be delivered!" Zhang Xian's face was firm.

Zhao Bufan patted him lightly on the shoulder and advised: "Remember, everything here must be told to Liang Shicheng as it is, except for him, no one else can, at the moment, only he will report to the Holy Lord without any scruples, and it is difficult for others to say!"

Zhang Xian nodded: "Don't worry, my subordinates understand!"

"Although no one knows that you have important evidence of a crime, you must be very careful in this trip, and always remember that what you have in your arms is the deep hatred of millions of people, the blood and tears of loyalty, don't have an accident!"

Zhang Xian didn't say anything more, arched his hands heavily, closed his lips tightly and turned over on the horse.

"Take care, my lord!"

"Take care!"

............

As Zhang Xian rode away on a fast horse, Zhao Bufan also set off again and rushed to Wuyuan County, Shezhou.

The criminal evidence sent away by Zhang Xian will make the court quickly pay attention to this side of the matter, and various countermeasures will be issued soon, Tong Jian and others will naturally not be able to escape the responsibility, and even Tong Guan will be suspected and implicated, but with Tong Guan's cunning, there must have been a way to deal with it a long time ago, and at present, only by biting the line of ghost pawns can Tong Guan really be put to death.

After leaving Wansheng Villa, Zhao Bufan quickly rode eastward, using the messenger token of Kaifeng Mansion to change horses at the post station along the way, except for the necessary rest, he almost did not stop, and soon rushed to Shezhou, Jiangnan. Considering that Wansheng Villa was relocated, it would be a surprise to inquire directly, so Zhao Bufan did not go directly to Qinghua Town, but first went to Wuyuan County to store the horses in the post house.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River are rich, Wuyuan County is a big county in the south of the Yangtze River, this county is naturally very prosperous, because it is adjacent to the boundary of Jingdezhen in the west, so the porcelain business here is also very prosperous, and you can see shops selling porcelain everywhere.

Zheyuezhi is also the first time to come to Jiangnan, there is no time to stop on the way here, there is no time to enjoy the scenery, now into the city, naturally I am fascinated by the customs of Jiangnan, walk around on the left, look on the right, and I can't stop for a moment.

"Brother Fanfan, come and see, the Qingbai porcelain vase here is so cheap! This kind of quality Qingbai porcelain in our north will cost a few dollars!"

Zhao Bufan walked to her side, took the blue and white porcelain vase and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This porcelain is a long way to the north, counting the cost of carriages and horses, counting the risk cost, people still have to make money to live, it is definitely not cheap!"

When the stall vendor who was dealing with other customers heard this, he immediately turned around with a smile, and after a little look, he couldn't help but smile: "This official is unspeakably expensive at first glance, and what he says is reasonable, it is not easy for a trader, if you can't keep the profits, who will do it!"

Zhao Bufan smiled, and while enjoying the innocent porcelain vase in his hand, he replied casually: "You can say so, the business must be doing well, and sooner or later you will make a lot of money, why don't you set up a shop to operate?"

"The officials look down on me!"

The peddler was also very talkative, and continued with a smile: "We are all petty fights, mixed food, how dare we stand on our own, but we all rely on the major members to share some leftovers, so we can barely survive!"

"Is your porcelain business monopolized here?" Zhao Bufan said curiously.

"That's not true, but we Wuyuan County porcelain business outside the formation of a chamber of commerce, together to do porcelain trading, but where you want to open a shop, you have to go to the support of a voice, if you have the strength, you can also join the union to do together, that is the real money to make a lot of money, we are just a small fight!"

Zhao Bufan smiled and nodded: "That's good, join forces to make money together, and your Wuyuan's porcelain business will be more prosperous!"

"The official is right!"

The peddler laughed and agreed, but soon sighed again, drowned his voice, shook his head, and looked like he had seen it through.

"But that was in the past! It's hard to say in the future, it's not what it used to be! In my opinion, this porcelain chamber of commerce will disperse sooner or later, and it is powerless!"

Seeing his pretended profoundness, Zhi Yuezhi only felt a little nondescript, and took over with a smile: "How do you say this?"

The peddler looked left and right, then suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice, "Have you ever noticed the big shop opposite with the door closed?"

Zhao Bufan looked back and said with a smile: "Celadon Building, the name is very elegant, what's wrong?"

The peddler pursed his lips and smiled, and said mysteriously: "Hu Yuanwai of the celadon building is the head of the porcelain Chamber of Commerce, highly respected, there is no one in our entire Wuyuan County who does porcelain traders who do not give him three points of thin noodles, and it is also because of him that he has a chamber of commerce, but unfortunately his house was haunted a few days ago, the eldest son was scared to death, and the young son was also possessed by evil ghosts, and he was crazy all day long.

When Zhi Yuezhi heard this, she instantly turned her head to look at Gongsun Sheng, who was waiting not far away.

"Hey!

Gongsun Sheng, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, was slightly embarrassed, and walked closer and said with a smile: "Although I am a cultivator, I have never learned the art of catching ghosts and subduing demons!"

The peddler was talking about it, and when he saw that there were Taoist priests with Zhi Yuezhi and Zhao Bufan by his side, he was very surprised: "I didn't expect that there was a Taoist chief accompanying the official, the villain really didn't look away today, the official is really unspeakably expensive!"

Today's imperial court respects Taoism, Taoism has a high status, and Taoist priests are naturally respected.

Therefore, Zhao Bufan just smiled, and asked instead: "Shopkeeper, just now you said that Hu Yuanwai's house was haunted, and there were dead people, so didn't the government investigate?"

"Check! Of course check!" the hawker nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Wu County Commander sent County Lieutenant Yang and his son to investigate in person, but although County Lieutenant Yang is very powerful, it is also a human being after all, and now it is a sin created by evil ghosts, what can they do!"

As soon as the words fell, before Zhao Bufan could ask a question, a young voice suddenly came from the left back.

"Ma Laosan, you are talking nonsense again, where did you come from, it is clearly a thief, my father and my eldest brother will definitely be able to catch the murderer!"

When the peddler heard this, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Yo! Why is Brother Yang here?"

Zhao Bufan also looked at the voice, but saw that the person who came with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beautiful face, looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, walked with a ruffian, walked up to the front with a big grin, and asked loudly after a little look: "I heard that the accents of a few of you are obviously not locals, and you still carry weapons with you, where did you come from? Don't you recruit the young master from the truth? Recently, there have been murders in the city, can it be related to you?"

Yang Yizhong saw that he was untidy and angry, and immediately walked over with a frown, stopped in front of Zhao Bufan and Zheyuezhi, and glared at him very unhappily: "Whose little master are you?

The young man looked at him in surprise, took a step closer proudly, and pouted: "The young master is this temperament, what can you do?"

"You ......"

Yang Yizhong was furious, and the knife in his right hand was raised in an instant, although he was holding the scabbard and pointing at the young man, but the young man was angered, but he took a step closer again, stared at the sheathed war knife in his hand and said, "What are you?

The hawker next to him made a fuss when he saw that a few people couldn't say a few words, and he was so anxious that he shouted again and again: "Brother Yang, these officials have a noble status, and they can't make trouble!!"

This young man is obviously used to being domineering on weekdays, and loudly reprimanded: "Ma Laosan, you don't have to be nosy, beware of me beating you together!"

Zhi Yuezhi is also a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he can't get used to the arrogant appearance of this young man, so he even sneered: "You kid is so rude, you are arrogant and domineering, and people persuade you, but you threaten others, it's really shameless!"

The young man was instantly enraged, glanced at her, and shouted: "Where did you come from, don't think that if you are beautiful, I won't dare to beat you!"

Zhao Bufan heard him scold Yuezhi, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"You scold her again!"
