Chapter 198: The Chief Helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society
Wang Jiang and Zuo Li re-created an intelligence organization for Zhu Cihong, but it was no longer called "Jinyiwei", but called Tiandihui. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Heaven and Earth will be the name given by Zheng Chenggong.
The interception and killing of the Cao family's caravan was the handiwork of the Heaven and Earth Society and the White Lotus Sect's special combat team.
The Heaven and Earth Society organization is not yet able to compare with the intelligence power of the White Lotus Sect and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it is full of vitality.
What is surprising is that the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society is not Wang Jiang, not Zuo Li, but a young man named "Chen Jinnan".
Chen Jinnan is a genius in Mingluntang, whether it is martial arts or literary talent, he is outstanding among his classmates in the same grade.
The education model of the White Lotus Sect allowed Chen Jinnan to learn more martial arts and knowledge, and his swordsmanship was considered the top among the younger generation of the White Lotus Sect. Wang Jiang and Zhu Cihong both felt that with Chen Jinnan's progress speed, within ten years, he would definitely become a strong grandmaster.
Chen Jinnan has a deep affection for Daming, although the White Lotus Sect cultivated him and let him learn his skills, but when Zhu Cihong and Zheng Chenggong came to solicit, he didn't even push, and directly agreed to Zhu Cihong.
Anti-Qing and restoration of sight.
It is Chen Jinnan's dream.
After Chen Jinnan became the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, his authority was not small, and he was only responsible to Zhu Cihong, the crown prince. Even Wang Jiang, Zuo Li, and Zheng Chenggong couldn't restrain him.
The caravan that intercepted and killed the Cao family was planned by Chen Jinnan, and during the operation, the special combat teams of the White Lotus Sect all looked at Chen Jinnan differently. The chief helmsman of this Heaven and Earth Society is indeed a capable person who should not be underestimated.
Perhaps, he is another Wang Xu-like character.
Chen Jinnan has been very happy recently, intercepting and killing the Cao family's caravan and obtaining property worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even if half of it is given to the White Lotus Sect, the Heaven and Earth Society can also have an income of nearly 200,000 taels of silver.
With this amount of money, the monthly salary of tens of thousands of sailors has been settled.
At this time.
Chen Jinnan and several masters of the Heaven and Earth Society were waiting for news in a private house in Guangzhou.
One of the martial artists asked, "Chief Helmsman, didn't you say that there would be news from the White Lotus Sect soon? Wang Xu, they won't be fooling us, right?"
Several other first-class martial artists also had doubts on their faces.
Chen Jinnan shook his head and said, "No." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a disciple of Sect Master Chen Ji, even if His Royal Highness leaves the White Lotus Sect to set up his own door, Wang Xu and they will not dare to mess around. Everyone, be patient, I'm sure there will be news soon. ”
Although he said this, Chen Jinnan still felt a little aggrieved in his heart. Heaven and Earth will be weak, and it can't be compared with the White Lotus Sect's intelligence system, and it is indeed a little uncomfortable to be controlled by others.
Chen Jinnan vowed that in the future, he would definitely make the world stronger, stronger than Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
There was a knock outside the door, two short and three long, it was a code.
Chen Jinnan hurriedly opened the door, and a middle-aged man walked in and said, "Chief helmsman, there is news." ”
Chen Jinnan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally news came.
The middle-aged man handed a letter full of words to Chen Jinnan: "This is the news from the White Lotus Sect, the Fan family's caravan shipments, and the shipping routes are all here." As for how to act, it is up to the helmsman to arrange it himself. ”
Chen Jinnan took the letter, nodded and said, "I know." ”
The information on the letter is very detailed, and it can be said that the time of the Fan family's shipment and the route of the journey are not the slightest secret in the eyes of the White Lotus Sect. It can be seen from this that the intelligence power of the White Lotus Sect is strong.
Heaven and Earth Society can't do it now, no matter what.
Chen Jinnan asked, "What about that batch of goods, have you dealt with it?"
The middle-aged man said: "Back to the chief helmsman, it has been dealt with." I sold the goods directly to the White Lotus Sect for 187,000 taels of silver. The silver was secretly shipped out of Guangzhou and received by Lord Wang Jiang. ”
The White Lotus Sect's ability to sell stolen goods is much stronger than that of the Heaven and Earth Society, and in order not to be discovered by the Cao family, it is indeed a very good idea to sell the goods directly to the White Lotus Sect.
Chen Jinnan said: "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can get the silver, I will be relieved." ”
The middle-aged man continued: "Governor Wang Xu said that it is best for the chief helmsman to do it within three days. Because the Cao family needs to cooperate. ”
Chen Jinnan nodded and said, "You go and tell Governor Wang Xu, just say that I, Chen Jinnan, will definitely go to join the special combat team before noon tomorrow." ”
The middle-aged man nodded, turned and left the room.
Chen Jinnan explained the plan, and finally said to several first-class martial artists: "Okay, everyone prepares." Tomorrow, we, the Heaven and Earth Society, must not let the people of the White Lotus Sect's special combat team look down on us. The special forces are strong, but our heaven and earth will not be soft persimmons either. This interception and killing of the Fan family caravan is the same as intercepting and killing the Cao family's caravan, and the action must be ...... Clean!"
"Yes, helmsman. Everyone said in unison.
........................
Without any exceptions, the Fan family's caravan was robbed.
It is a little different from the caravan that intercepted and killed the Cao family, and it was used by Chen Jinnan to confuse others. It's just that this time the action is still clean and neat.
When Chen Jinnan was studying in Minglun Hall, he remembered that his teacher once said that anything can change from quantity to quality.
It's the same with hatred.
If you want the Fan family and the Cao family to completely tear their faces, they can only let their hatred continue to accumulate, and when it reaches the limit, the hatred will explode.
In less than seven days, the Fan family's caravan was intercepted and killed twice, and even Fan Li personally did not protect the caravan.
The eldest young master of the Fan family died under Yu Qiu's arrow, and now the business of the Fan family in Guangzhou is in charge of Fan Li. The caravan was robbed twice, losing more than 300,000 taels of silver, and Fan Li was responsible.
Fan Li took the people of the Fan family to Cao Rui's mansion.
Fan Li slapped his palm on the gate, and the feminine palm power exploded, shattering the gate.
At the moment when the gate shattered, a heavy arrow the thickness of a thumb shot towards Fan Li's face door like a streamer. Even with Fan Li's cultivation, he was taken aback by this arrow.
Fan Li wanted to avoid it, but it was too late, so he could only block this heavy arrow.
"Ha ......"
Fan Li shouted, and the protective qi on his body burst out with all his strength, and his palm turned into an afterimage and grabbed the heavy arrow.
I have to say that Fan Li, as a martial arts master, is very powerful in terms of eyesight, speed and strength. The heavy arrow really caught him.
The heavy arrow was like a poisonous snake with huge penetrating power, even if it was caught by Fan Li, it still drilled into Fan Li's front door. Fan Li was carried backwards by the great force.
Fan Li stood firm, the tip of the heavy arrow only half an inch away from the center of his eyebrows.
Fan Li took a deep breath and threw away the heavy arrow in his hand, his face was very solemn. Yu Qiu's archery skills were stronger than he expected. However, Fan Li didn't know that Yu Qiu only used eight points of strength to shoot this heavy arrow.
If Yu Qiu attacked with all his strength, this arrow would not be able to kill Fan Li, and he would also be seriously injured.
Yu Qiu's voice came: "Fan Li, your martial arts skills are good, you can actually catch my heavy arrow." I don't know if you'll be able to catch me, though. ”
Yu Qiu is now using a strong bow and heavy arrows, which are specially made to deal with martial arts masters, not ordinary bows and arrows used when hunting.
Fan Li looked at Yu Qiu, his pupils shrank, and he was extremely jealous in his heart.
Cao Rui walked in the front and said loudly to Fan Li: "Fan Li, what do you want to do? You intercepted and killed my Cao family's caravan, and now you are coming to the door again, and you are deceiving people too much." Fan Li, Young Master Ben told you that if you don't give Young Master Ben an explanation today, my Cao family will definitely not give up. Even if it is in front of the emperor, my Cao family is not afraid. ”
Cao Rui is really going crazy.
So far, he hasn't even gathered the goods. The day of delivery is coming soon. At this time, Fan Li actually came to his mansion to make trouble, which was really unreasonable.
If it weren't for Yu Qiu, the archery master, how dangerous would he be today? Cao Rui didn't dare to imagine.
Fan Li sneered: "You fart." The Cao family's caravan was intercepted and killed, can the Fan family be blamed? Recently, the Fan family's caravan was intercepted and killed, and the losses were heavy, and it was your Cao family who did it. Cao Rui, if you hand over the goods today and compensate for the loss, I can open the net and not trouble your Cao family. If you dare to refuse, I'm going to kill you. Don't think about using the emperor to pressure me, even if you dare not agree in front of the emperor, I still dare to kill. ”
Fan Li had reason to believe that the Fan family's caravan was intercepted and killed twice, and it was the Cao family who was retaliating, although he had no definite evidence.
Cao Rui smiled angrily: "Fan Li, your Fan family's wicked people's ability to sue is really good." Young Master Ben is too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Grandmaster Wang, shoot all the people of the Fan family to this son!"
Fan Li is about to kill, where will Cao Rui be polite to them.
Hearing this, Yu Qiu took out a heavy arrow, pulled the arrow with a bow, and aimed it at Fan Li.
"Stop!"
A phantom flashed, and Luo Ping appeared.
"Grandmaster Luo. ”
Everyone present saluted Luo in parallel, including Yu Qiu.
Luo Ping is the second master of the imperial court, a peerless grandmaster, and his status is higher than that of everyone present. He was respected because of his strong force.
Luo Ping said in a cold voice: "What are you going to do? Rebellion? Fan Li, Cao Rui, this seat knows that both of you have losses, but do you have evidence that the other party is the hand? Guangzhou has become a treaty port, and the forces of the world will gather here, if the two of you fight wantonly, won't it make other forces see a joke?"
Other forces?
Naturally, it refers to the White Lotus Sect.
Fan Li said: "Grandmaster Luo, Wang Liang shot the eldest young master, Cao Rui must be the mastermind, as long as you hand over the two of them to the Fan family, my Fan family will stop." As for the looted property, my Fan family can afford to lose it. ”
Cao Rui sneered: "Fan Li, you are dreaming. Who doesn't know that the death of your eldest young master was an accident? At that time, you were competing with Grandmaster Wang, Wang is a grandmaster of archery, of course he wants to use a bow and arrow, and his attention is all focused on you, as for your eldest young master being killed by mistake, it is because of his bad luck. Also, my Cao family has apologized and made huge concessions in the business in Guangzhou. Your Fan family is still biting on, and you actually intercepted and killed my Cao family's caravan, which is simply mad. ”
Luo Ping frowned, and said loudly: "Shut up for this seat!"
"The Fan family, the Cao family, the grievances between the two of you are a little strange, although there is no conclusive evidence in this seat, but I can be sure that there must be a third-party force involved. Luo Ping stared at Fan Li and Cao Rui and said, "I hope you can calm down." If you really want to fight, it will be a defeat for both sides, and even the court will suffer heavy losses. Who will benefit then?"
Who will benefit?
If the Fan family and the Cao family fall, there will be more forces that can make a profit. Not to mention the White Lotus Sect, the other imperial merchant families will definitely divide up the two families.
Whoever can make a profit has a motive to commit the crime.
If you deduce according to this logical thinking, the other Imperial Merchant Families and the White Lotus Sect are all seriously suspicious.
It's just that Fan Li and Cao Rui were both carried away by hatred, and Yu Qiu usually fanned the flames by Cao Rui's side, so the two families almost didn't think about other directions.
Luo Ping walked to Yu Qiu's side and said in a cold voice: "Wang Liang, this seat has always felt that you are a little familiar. ”
Yu Qiu smiled and said, "Sect Master Luo, you are laughing. We've met before, and we've known both of you, so of course you'll think I'm familiar. ”
Luo Ping shook his head and said, "That's not what I said. Wang Liang, the eldest young master of the Fan family died under your arrow, whether it was an accident or you deliberately, it is difficult to judge from this seat. However, be careful, don't get caught by this seat, if I let me know that you are all going to do this, I will definitely not let you go. ”
Yu Qiu smiled and said, "Sect Master Luo, I don't know what you're talking about. My skills were indeed learned in the Minglun Hall of the White Lotus Sect, but this does not mean that I am a member of the White Lotus Sect. My Wang has been living in Wangjia Village, and there are traces to follow. Don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. ”
Luo Ping nodded and said, "That's the best." ”
Luo Ping, as the second master of the Manchu court, has good martial arts, but he is not good at solving cases. After all, not everyone has the potential to become a detective.
Luo Ping was overwhelmed by these things in Guangzhou.
The matter on Wang Xu's side has not yet been clarified, and the Fan family and the Cao family have an accident again. For Luo Ping, it is simply a disaster. The matter was not done well, and I didn't know how to explain it to Emperor Shunzhi.
"Fan Li, Cao Rui, you two don't make any more trouble. The affairs of the Fan family and the Cao family have been played in the imperial court. Emperor Shengming, he will definitely give you two a satisfactory explanation. Luo Ping said to Fan Li and Cao Rui.
........................
Chen Jinnan also wanted to continue to attack the caravans of the Cao family and the Fan family. Just rob a caravan once, and you can make a windfall.
It's a money grab.
After a few more visits, His Royal Highness the Prince's military salary was settled.
Chen Jinnan found Wang Xu, and he still wanted to continue to ask for information about the Fan family and the Cao family.
Wang Xu directly rejected him and said: "Chen Jinnan, your martial arts and resourcefulness are good, but you are still too young after all. Don't be fooled by the silver, intercept and kill the Cao family's caravan three times, the Fan family twice, what we can do is the limit. Our purpose has been achieved. If he intercepts and kills the caravan of the Fan family and the Cao family, Luo Ping will definitely take action in person. He is a peerless grandmaster, if you meet him, not to mention the people of your Heaven and Earth Society, even our special combat team will be finished. ”
Luo Ping is too strong, Wang Xu is not an opponent, and being able to protect himself under Luo Ping is already the limit of Wang Xu's martial arts.
More importantly, once Luo Ping catches Chen Jinnan and the special combat team, the grievances between the Fan family and the Cao family will be resolved.
Chen Jinnan was startled, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Lord Governor." It's the junior Meng Lang. Leave. "He's been a little flustered lately, and he thinks that the emperor is a big dealer, but that's it.
Financially dizzy. It's worth being wary of.
Wang Xu watched Chen Jinnan leave, and said secretly in his heart: "Zhu Cihong has good skills. He can recruit talents like Chen Jinnan. If Chen Jinnan doesn't die young, he will become a great weapon in the future. ”
