Chapter Twenty-Three: Your Highness's Gift

Few people know about Fengyulou, but in the circle of the sect family, it is very famous. It can be regarded as the strongest force in the secret, even forces like the Taiqing Sect and the Buddha Sect have also issued missions in the Wind and Rain Tower. Fortunately, Fengyulou has always acted in the dark, and only does some shady business, such as hiring killers, buying and selling intelligence information, etc.

Therefore, big sects such as Fengyulou and Taiqing Sect Buddhism have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, but they are also safe and sound, and there is no conflict.

Wang Changqing followed Wang Zhenshan to the door of a dilapidated restaurant with 100,000 taels of silver tickets.

This restaurant is the stronghold of Fengyulou.

"Wind and Rain Building" looks very inconspicuous, barely able to enter the level of a second-rate restaurant, but it is such an inconspicuous restaurant, but there is a powerful force hidden.

The two went upstairs, and Xiao Er came over and asked, "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" Although our Fengyulou is not the top restaurant in Anxi Mansion, the cook's craftsmanship is absolutely good. Many guest officers ate our meals in Fengyulou, and they all had an endless aftertaste. ”

Wang Zhenshan said: "Then serve five plates of your restaurant's signature dishes, and serve them according to the standard of one hundred taels of silver." Also, I'm going to find your treasurer and talk to him about a deal. ”

A glint flashed in Xiao Er's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, wait a minute, two guest officers, the meal will come soon." I'll go and call our treasurer. ”

After Xiao Er went out, Wang Changqing said: "Dad, Fengyulou is really unfathomable, a Xiao Er who serves dishes and pours tea is actually a first-class martial artist, which is really eye-opening." ”

Wang Zhenshan nodded and said: "Fengyulou can take over most of the shady business transactions in the world, so it naturally has a great backer and heritage. Thinking about the power of Fengyulou, even if it is worse than that of Taiqing Sect and Buddhism, it is not much different. ”

Wang Changqing suddenly said: "According to legend, there is no business that I dare not accept in this wind and rain building. As long as you can afford the price, Wind and Rain Tower can even kill a God Realm powerhouse for you!"

Of course, it's just a legend, the strong people of the God Realm are not so easy to kill, even if the wind and rain tower is powerful, they are not willing to offend the strong people of the God Realm. Moreover, if you want to kill a god realm powerhouse, no one can afford to pay the price.

But from this rumor, it can be inferred that there is definitely a god realm powerhouse in Fengyulou, and there is more than one.

A fat man with a red face, with a rich man's hat on his head, looks like he is kind and wealthy, which makes people feel good when they see it.

"Are the two guests who want to talk to me about business?" asked the fat shopkeeper with a smile.

Wang Zhenshan went straight to the point and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver, kill one person." ”

The fat shopkeeper's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Kill someone?" But we need accurate information about the target before we can estimate the price. ”

100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and many people can't earn so much money in their lifetime. can receive such a big business, and the fat shopkeeper must also take it seriously.

Wang Zhenshan gave Zhang Ming's intelligence information.

The fat shopkeeper was silent for a while, and said: "Zhang Ming, Zhang Jieyuan, hehe, I didn't expect Zhang Ming to be a half-step innate martial artist, what a genius." Two, Zhang Ming's martial arts and identity, you are only 100,000 taels, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”

Wang Changqing asked, "I don't know how much you need?"

The fat shopkeeper smiled and said, "150,000 taels." Zhang Ming is now an official of the imperial court, but he is not reckless, kill him, our Fengyulou will face the pressure of the imperial court, so at least 150,000 taels of silver. ”

Wang Zhenshan did not hesitate and nodded: "Agreed." I wonder when we'll be able to see Zhang Ming's head?"

The fat shopkeeper raised two thick fingers: "I'll give you two plans, the first plan, we will dispatch two half-step innate assassins, and it should be possible to kill Zhang Ming." The time is very fast, and within three days, you will be able to see Zhang Ming's head. The second plan, we will dispatch a congenital assassin, but this will have to wait, after all, there are not many congenital assassins in the wind and rain building, and your business needs to be queued for two months. It's up to you to decide which option to choose. ”

Wang Changqing and Wang Zhenshan discussed it, and felt that the two half-step innate assassins were not safe to make a move, and there was a possibility that something would happen. Zhang Ming is a half-step innate martial artist, if he wants to escape, the two half-step innate assassins may not be able to stop him. If an assassin from the Innate Realm is dispatched, it will be foolproof.

Wang Zhenshan finally decided: "Let's let the assassins of the Innate Realm take action." We can afford to wait for two months. ”

The fat shopkeeper said happily: "Okay, then it's decided." Please pay the two of you first, and after two months, we will send Zhang Ming's head to the place designated by the two. ”

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

Qing'an County Yamen.

The county magistrate, the county lieutenant, the chief officer, and other officials are all waiting for the new county order, but five or six days have passed since they took office, and there is still no trace of the county order. They muttered, it couldn't be that this new county commander was killed by bandits on the road, right?

Bandits and bandits are rampant in Qing'an County, everyone knows it.

However, Zhang Ming, the new county magistrate, lingered among the major cottages of the thieves at this time, and found out the number of thieves in the entire Qing'an County.

Zhang Mingtian paid a private visit to investigate the situation, practiced martial arts and swordsmanship at night, and improved his strength.

The innate martial artist of the Wang family gave Zhang Ming a lot of pressure.

But pressure is also motivation, and in just ten days, Zhang Ming's strength has increased a lot, and his sword qi has even turned into a sword.

The improvement of his skills gave Zhang Ming a sense of security, but it was not enough. Now that he has met an innate martial artist, Zhang Ming still has no hope of survival.

Half-step innate martial artists and innate martial artists, although the realm is only a slight difference, but the real strength gap is like an insurmountable chasm. When an innate martial artist kills a half-step innate martial artist, he almost doesn't have to make a second move.

"The distribution of bandits and bandits in Qing'an County is already clear. Zhang Ming entered the county seat, and said secretly in his heart, "There are two big bandit forces, and the rest are small bandits, and there are not many of them." If you want to govern Qing'an County well, these bandits must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Ming didn't plan to kill them all, but to give them a chance to give up being a bandit.

The people in the city are all blank and have lost confidence in life.

If you want to change the fortunes of the people, you have a long way to go.

"Let's go to the Yamen first. ”

The county government is good, bright, magnificent, and very majestic.

But in Zhang Ming's eyes, he felt very ironic, officials can't let the people live well, what's the use of repairing the county government no matter how beautiful and magnificent?

Entering the yamen, Zhang Ming took out the appointment letter and official seal, and at this time everyone knew that the young man in front of him was really the county magistrate of Qing'an County.

The county man's name is Yang Shaoyu, and he is an elegant middle-aged man, but his martial arts are not weak, and he has reached the level of a second-rate martial artist. Zhang Ming could feel the internal strength in his body.

The county lieutenant Jiang Zihou looks like he is powerful, but don't underestimate him, he is a genuine first-class master. His palm is like a fan, glowing with a faint blue light, and he knows that he is a master of palm art at a glance.

Lord Bo Fengyao is an old man, but he really doesn't know any martial arts, but he has been an official in Qing'an County for decades, and he is very experienced in handling the affairs of the yamen. From time to time, a shrewd brilliance appeared in his eyes.

Yang Shaoyu, the county magistrate, hugged his fists at Zhang Ming and smiled: "My lord is really young and promising, we have been guessing what kind of person the new county magistrate will be? It turned out to be Zhang Jieyuan." My lord, we have a banquet in the drunken fairy building in the evening, for the adults to catch the wind and wash the dust, many gentry in the county will come, please be sure to appreciate the light. ”

Zhang Ming glanced at the three of them and said, "There's no need to pick up the wind and wash the dust, you first arrange a place for me to live and settle down." As for getting to know the gentry in the county, there will be opportunities in the future. Now that the people in the city are hungry and have no clothes, where is the official still in the mood to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower to eat and drink?"

The expressions of the three of them froze suddenly, they didn't expect this young county magistrate to be so direct and faceless.

However, Zhang Ming looked serious, and the three of them had no choice but to do what Zhang Ming wanted. The official level crushed people to death, although Zhang Ming was a newcomer, but after all, he was a seventh-grade official, and he was their superior, Zhang Ming's words could not be ignored. Although they were not convinced in their hearts.

The county lieutenant asked the catcher to take Zhang Ming into the backyard of the yamen.

Yang Shaoyu smiled contemptuously: "We, the county magistrate, are really scholarly, we don't even know how to be an official, and we don't have a good relationship with our colleagues in the yamen and the gentry in the county, how can we succeed? No matter how much you read, you can solve the yuan in the exam, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. ”

County Lieutenant Jiang Zihou said: "Young people, it's all like this. When we were officials, didn't we also have a higher heart than the sky, and wanted to make an earth-shattering career? But the reality was too cruel, and we were helpless. After a while, we, the young county magistrate, will understand these truths. ”

Lord Bo Feng Yao smiled and said, "The two adults are reasonable. ”

The three of them have been officials for many years, and they are all old and cunning, and they don't take Zhang Ming, a young scholar, in their eyes at all. They waited for Zhang Ming to eat deflated and watch jokes.

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

"My lord, this is the room where you live, and the office is the study of the yamen. The head catcher took Zhang Ming to the backyard of the yamen and chose a large room, "As for the housekeepers and maids that the adults need, they need to be hired by the adults themselves." ”

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "I see." By the way, what is your surname?"

The head catcher said: "The subordinate is surnamed Yu, and his name is Cheng." ”

"Yu Cheng?" Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Hmm." Okay, you go down and get busy first. ”

Yu Cheng hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates retire." ”

Yu Cheng had just gone out for less than three breaths, and Zhang Ming suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up, and a master came in!

Zhang Ming punched out, and the thick and pure fist exploded in the air, attacking the people with overwhelming momentum.

The visitor was dressed in a black robe, a cloak, and carrying a wooden box.

"Mountain Shaking Fist?" the black-robed man's voice was a little hoarse and a little sharp, "It's amazing that you can cultivate this fist technique to such a realm." But if you want to hurt our family, it's still a little bit close. ”

The black-robed man seemed to turn into a black shadow and avoided the attack, and his light skills were the fastest among the enemies Zhang Ming encountered.

"This person is very dangerous. Zhang Ming was solemn in his heart, he was not sure of defeating the black-robed man.

"You were sent by the Wang family?" Zhang Ming asked coldly.

The black-robed man took off his cloak and revealed a white and beardless face: "The Wang family is not qualified to let the inner court make a move, and our family came to see you on the orders of the five princes." ”

Zhang Ming saw that he was really a eunuch, so he nodded, indicating that he believed his words, but he was still vigilant in his heart, preventing the black-robed eunuch from suddenly making a move.

"I don't know what His Highness commands?" asked Zhang Ming.

The black-robed eunuch said: "I don't have any orders, just ask our family to bring something to Zhang Jieyuan." ”

He took off the wooden box on his back and handed it to Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming didn't take over, but said, "Put it on the table, I'll naturally look at it later." ”

The black-robed eunuch smiled: "Yes, Zhang Jieyuan is very vigilant. Prudent people live long. Our family has been waiting for you in the city for two days, and now that we have handed over the things to you, it is time for our family to return to the capital to resume their lives. Zhang Jieyuan, let's talk to you more, this is His Royal Highness's last help to you, whether you can withstand the killing of the Wang family's innate masters depends on your own creation. Your Highness's situation in the capital is also worrying, we don't know why Your Highness still thinks of your safety at this time, but I hope you don't let Your Highness down. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Ming to speak, the black-robed eunuch turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the room. Zhang Ming could no longer feel his presence, and thought that he had left the county office.

Zhang Ming looked at the wooden box on the table, and there was a faint feeling in his heart, His Royal Highness was walking on thin ice in the capital, but at this time, he could still think of his own safety.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Zhang Ming opened the wooden box and saw the contents with excitement on his face, this is a life-saving thing!
