Me, Yuan Fang?

Chapter 576 Strange Prefect
"General, you're embarrassing me." Wei Xiaobao glanced at Zhao Min who was not far away, "Shuang'er knows that I'm partnered with a beautiful woman, so I'm probably going to complain to the old man again."

"This is business. At best, you are a cooperative relationship. As long as you have a clear conscience, I will explain it to you, old man." Zuo Zhou put his arms around Wei Xiaobao indifferently. After all, if he wants to plot against the Qing Dynasty, he needs a guide who is familiar with the terrain.

"That's not the problem. Shuang'er and I are preparing for pregnancy recently. We are very busy. If it is just a guide, then we should find someone else. I also have a few good brothers in Qing Dynasty. Let me introduce you to each other!"

"Preparing for pregnancy, isn't that not pregnant yet? Don't worry, after this vote is completed, you will definitely be able to make great contributions. When the time comes, your child will be a hero after birth!"

Wei Xiaobao was a little tempted. He didn't want a strong person like Zuo Zhou. Without strength, there would be no real freedom. After all, he would drift in the sea of ​​people, and chasing fame and fortune was unavoidable.

He is a very positive person, and now the situation is very good, but the identity of a Baolong clan is not enough, and more credit is necessary.

Seeing this, Zuo Zhou continued to persuade: "Don't worry, the Qing Dynasty is now focusing all its attention on the war, and their homeland has no defenses. Coupled with the intelligence power of the Ruyang Palace, you can easily achieve your goal. "

Wei Xiaobao rubbed his cheeks, "I'm not afraid of returning to the Qing Dynasty, but the question is, is your information accurate? Although we have always guessed that the Qing Dynasty has hidden the gathering of luck, it is ultimately a guess. I gave it out, which made me feel very uncertain!"

Zuo Zhou was amused. If it weren't for the differences in the versions he knew, he could even point the location directly to the Eastern Suburb Imperial Tomb or Luding Mountain, and he wouldn't have to bother to find any 42 chapters.

"My information is still very reliable. Believe me, of course, it doesn't matter if it is found to be false. You are going to steal something. As long as you don't mess with yourself, there is no danger." Ru said to Zhao Min. The team of Prince Yang's Mansion took a glance, "And Zhao Min will be charged with destroying the luck of the Qing Dynasty. You only need to bring back a little luck. Remember, protecting yourself is the top priority!"

Wei Xiaobao finally sighed, "Okay, I'll take care of this, but what are you going to do? Your Majesty obviously only wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but not to make a profit. You don't have soldiers behind you. Do you want to Relying on your own strength to disrupt the situation? Don't be afraid of being ambushed again!"

"I'm just going to see the excitement."

Zuo Zhou replied lightly and did the same thing. After bidding farewell to everyone, he embarked on a journey into the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom alone.

Jiang Yuyan and Xie Xun went to activate the former Qinglong Society branch according to Yang Dingtian's memory, and Wei Xiaobao also sneaked into the Qing Dynasty with the people from Zhao Min's Ruyang Palace.

With only him left, he can concentrate on dealing with the Shishamen, but this method needs to be changed. When the Ming and Qing Dynasties go to war, the energy of the Shishamen will inevitably be involved. In addition, Ku Toutuo was defeated by the East before After a beating, I really can't find his trace after hiding recently, even Zhao Min has no news for the time being.

But there is still a way...

……

On the third day on the road alone, Zuo Zhou crossed the border of the two countries and arrived at Hongzhou City. This is not a military important place, and there are no famous sects or masters living in seclusion.

Zuo Zhou first found an inn to eat and drink, and at night he swaggered open the door of a mansion.

"You little ghosts of the Ten Killing Gate, grandpa is here, come out to lead the death!"

"..."

Quiet!

A gust of night wind blows, nothing.

Zuo Zhou had no choice but to go directly into the courtyard and rummaged back and forth. He used his true energy to dig several holes in the ground before he had to admit that he was unlucky and took out a scroll.

Open the scroll, there are densely packed place names on it, pick up a leaf, squeeze out the juice, and mark an X on a name.

These names are places that Shishamen might have seized, but the accuracy rate seems to be a bit low now, or is Zuo Zhou's bad luck?

As for the source of information, part of it came from Ruyang Prince's Mansion, and part of it came from Tianzun, yes, it was Yi Tianxing's in-laws.Probably because of successive changes and the situation in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Murong Qiudi couldn't wait any longer.

Tianzun's people took the initiative to find Zhang Junbao and the Yi family brothers, so it was natural that they had contact with Zuo Zhou.

Murong Qiudi is a ruthless character. Although she doesn't value Yi Tianxing much, since her daughter likes it, this reason is enough.

The people from the Ten Killing Clan wiped out all their in-laws. This means that they don't take her or Tianzun into their eyes at all. Can this be tolerated?

Therefore, Tianzun's people began to analyze the action pattern of Ten Killing Gate in a targeted manner. Since the enemy will occupy certain places with malicious intentions, it is better to look for those who have had accidents or sold houses for some reason. .But this kind of efficiency is too low after all. After all, no one knows what the ten killing gates are going to do, and they can't find the internal laws of it.

"Let me see, there are two more."

Zuo Zhou's speed was very fast, after all he could fly, and he entered a house again in just a few jumps.This one is different from the one just now, in that it is inhabited.

With Zuo Zhou's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this family did not have any martial arts skills, but this was not enough to clear up the suspicion.

But before Zuo Zhou could make a further judgment, a black figure clumsily climbed over the wall and entered the yard.Zuo Zhou squatted on the roof watching this scene with a strange expression.

That black shadow is a man, and he doesn't know martial arts, but his skills are quite nimble. He seems to be familiar with this place, and he turned left and right and entered a woodshed.

Into the woodshed?
Zuo Zhou pricked up his ears curiously, but he heard a muffled sound inside, followed by the sound of undressing.

"Ok?"

Zuo Zhou couldn't help but throw a stone into the shadow to knock him out. He opened the door and saw that besides the man in the shadow, there was a woman who looked like a young lady fainted on the ground, and her shoulders were exposed in disheveled clothes.

Good guy, are you stealing jade and stealing fragrance?
"Come on, is there anyone in charge, someone is dishonest!"

Zuo Zhou howled a few times, and soon a group of servants surrounded him with lanterns and sticks.The owner of this house is a middle-aged man, who seems to have good eyesight, and immediately came up with a smile on his face when he saw the battle, as if he regarded Zuo Zhou as a distinguished guest.

Zuo Zhou didn't refuse either, and followed the other party to the living room, knowing the cause and effect.

The shadowy man was a poor scholar who fell in love with the young lady of the family, but the head of the family felt that the boy was ostentatious so he didn't agree, but because of his daughter, he promised to betroth his daughter to him as long as he passed the Jinshi examination.But the poor scholar didn't even have the money to go to Beijing for the exam, so the young lady made an appointment to meet in the firewood room, and gave the scholar money from her own money to help him go to Beijing for the exam.

But the old father is still accurate in judging people, this poor scholar is actually planning to cook raw rice and cooked rice!

"For young people, it's understandable to be dazzled by love. It's just for parents to persuade them in time. If they can't persuade them, it's over. Isn't that what parents do, hahaha!"

Zuo Zhou's words seemed to make the Patriarch agree very much, Dayou regarded him as a confidant, and ordered someone to prepare silver taels.

Zuo Zhou understood what was going on at a glance, it was nothing more than covering his mouth with money, although his daughter did not lose her virginity, it was not good to spread rumors after all.Zuo Zhou was not too polite, and taking the silver was regarded as a peace of mind for him.

"There is one more thing I want to ask my brother."

"Young man, please tell me."

"Is there any situation where you don't want to sell the house, but you have to sell it because of something?"

"Uh, although I didn't understand the meaning of the young man, but... it seems that there is such a thing."

"Oh? Talk about it."

This Hongzhou City is not considered an important city, so whenever something happened, it would be spread by the people in various versions, so the old father still remembers it.

Two years ago, when the new prefect of Hongzhou took office, who knew that the original prefect's yamen had bad feng shui and had to be relocated.

I don't know what the new prefect of Hongzhou is capable of. The court not only agreed, but also allocated funds to him to rebuild the government office.

The common people thought that this was a big man with a background, but who knew that he not only bought the mansion of the local gentry at a premium, but also was very kind.During his tenure, he did a lot of practical things conscientiously, such as repairing bridges, paving roads, digging wells, etc. Over time, everyone accepted him.

It's just a little surprising that since the background is so big, it should only come to the grassroots for gilding. At worst, they will send a Wanmin umbrella. After all, the common people have also benefited.But he has been working for almost three years, and there is no sign of being transferred back to the capital!

Ordinary people naturally don't care, but these businessmen have more or less contact with court officials, and the anomaly is so intriguing.

Zuo Zhou's eyes flickered when he heard the words. Tianzun's information pointed to Hongzhou not casually. Although he didn't know what the ten killing gates were going to do, there were still traces to follow in the way of the formation.

After Huang Chang's deduction, it is very likely that there is a stronghold of the Ten Killers in Hongzhou!

Just listening to what the old father said, it seems that he has overlooked one thing. The people who killed the ten families may not all be from the Jianghu. It is very possible that they are still lurking in the court.

At that moment, Zuo Zhou decided to find out, "By the way, I still don't know the name and origin of this magistrate?"

"The magistrate of Hongzhou is surnamed Liu and his name is Hong. He was born as a Jinshi in the imperial examination three years ago. He used to fish for a living. Hehe, it's quite a legend to say that a fisherman was able to go to high school, tsk tsk!"

Zuo Zhou didn't think there was any problem. If he had the support of the Ten Shamen, let alone a Jinshi, even a number one scholar would be able to push him up.

He only heard him say again: "This magistrate has no children in his family, but he has a wife named Yin. It is said that she is a lady of a certain family, but she is quiet, and the wives in the city seldom see her."
