Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 642
However, just as Ma Jin, who was a former cavalry envoy, quickly ordered people to collect property and books and documents; he heard the sound and movement of continuous searching outside, and quickly disappeared in a short time.Then he felt that his scalp was numb, and ordered to the left and right again:
"You all, go out and see if anyone has broken in!"

"Promise!" Hearing the words, the dozen or so busy subordinates in front of them picked up iron hooks, saw knives and steel forks without hesitation; they rushed out of the inner room in groups of three or four; In the lobby, I saw those cells that were closed with different kinds of people, and I don't know when they were opened.

All kinds of aliens who had been tossed half to death also ran out on the spot; and these armed men in brown shirts, short crotches and leather overalls almost collided head-on; A shrill scream erupted on the spot.

At the same time, Ma Jin, who was in the inner room, packed up a pile of money notes and jewelry; then he piled up the remaining items and lit them with an oil lamp.Under the light of the rising fire, he removed a corner of the stone wall without hesitation, revealing a deep exit.

Then, the whole person disappeared into it with the burden on his back; after that, he walked down the branch of this cold and damp tunnel, and after a short half-hour of effort, he suddenly saw the faint Skylight, bright water reflections and the smell of water plants.

Immediately afterwards, a half-new boat appeared in front of him hidden among the weeds and vines beside the pond.Then, Ma Jin rowed the boat vigorously, and disappeared into the thick weeds; when he landed again, he was already outside a Zhuangzi.

However, he bypassed the main entrance of the Zhuangzi and came to an inconspicuous back entrance; he tapped lightly a few times according to a specific rhythm; after waiting for a while, he was welcomed in by an old man in Tsing Yi ; Soon after, the main door opened wide, and a group of people came out and waited.

The leader, a short and fat man, is the steward of this village; while Ma Jin is dressed in rough clothes and his face is dusty, and he is mixed among the servants who follow him.It wasn't until we reached the small market at the intersection that we quietly separated from the team, but wandered around among the crowd in the small market for quite a while.

It was confirmed that there was no sign of being followed or tracked; then he spent money to hire a small boat again, and spent half a day along the branch line of the Cao River to the outside of Anyi County, which is close to Chuzhou in the north.Immediately afterwards, he walked into a flying money exchange shop on the bridge city wharf.

Facing the counter that was greeted by the cashier, he was also a local lurker of Wu Desi.After taking out a token that also belonged to Wu Desi to prove that he had a secret mission, Ma Jin had time to stop to take a breath, and enjoyed a hungry meal.

Then, with the help provided by the other party, he continued to board a passenger ship to and from Haiyan County; sailed eastward overnight until dawn, and before the passenger ship was about to arrive at the bottom of Haiyan City, he pretended to fall into the water and jumped off the ship and went ashore again; Hike to the salt fields by the sea.

Dozens of large and small salt farms are scattered along the hundreds of miles of coastline here, with thousands of practitioners and tens of thousands of practitioners; they also provide the imperial court with salt production of hundreds of thousands to millions of dendrobiums every year.And the number of people of all kinds living around these saltworks is several times higher than this.

As a result, many township parties, business associations and gangs, including the Salt Group, the Salt Gang, and the Salt Association, were active in the gray field, and even unofficial trafficking gangs.When Ma Jin, who was being interrogated by the patrol, showed his confession as a member of the merchant gang, he was escorted in.

Not long after, he appeared in one of the largest salt farms in the area, under the command of the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Envoy, the Panxi Salt Farm of the Rugao Salt Inspection Institute; he was also respectfully introduced to the mansion of the local supervisor.Afterwards, it was not the field supervisor himself who rushed to the meeting.

It was You Wenyuan, the director of the local branch of the Donghai Dashe, which specializes in Southeast Feiqian business, who is resident in the local area, and is also one of the cooperation partners of Ma Jin's secret exchanges and secret negotiations for many years; therefore, the moment he saw the other party, he immediately Don't hesitate to make your own request:

"As soon as I arranged for ships to go to sea to avoid disaster..., the censor who patrolled the river came all the way from Jiangling and Luzhou to track down. My business in Huaiyang for many years is over; I can't hide those things for you. I hope you will take care of yourself and deal with the mess as soon as possible."

"Okay! I'll contact and make arrangements right away." You Wenyuan, who was described as thin and short, also nodded solemnly without hesitation: "Please wait here for a while, and think about whether there are other omissions in the haste I will definitely give you an answer before night falls."

"..." After the other party left again, Ma Jin, who was alone in the room, checked in private for a while to confirm that there was no gap for prying and eavesdropping; Escaping took him a lot of energy.

And in order to ensure the safety of his escape, he exhausted all the back roads and contacts he had managed in the local area for many years.As a result, now he can only entrust his final fate to the hands of others; however, when and where did he start to fall to where he is now?
You know, he was originally a serious general who was born in Beijing Normal University. Although he was quickly influenced by the prosperity of the southeast, he only took his own part of the officialdom. , shattered their own bottom line and persistence?

Looking back at this moment, Ma Jin seems to have started when he met that woman who was dignified and demure on the outside, but enchanting on the inside; because of her fascinating bed skills, and because she brought the former prison censor and collected them privately. Incriminating evidence, and written impeachment papers?

It was because of the prison censor who suddenly got drunk and fell into the water and drowned, she sent her trusted old subordinate and his family again; she confirmed that the other party was the source of her secret report, and tortured his wife to death in front of him Daughter, then put the owl's head on the certificate?

Then Ma Jin's wealth, destiny and future are completely connected with the secret society "Wutian" hidden behind this woman.Even the Hekui Shugou, one of the twelve celestial signs, provides cover and aftermath for the secret trafficking that runs through the great river and reaches overseas.

He even used the convenience of his position and the information provided behind the scenes to intimidate and lure while attacking, and mastered many salt gangs, private lords, boat clubs, etc., and turned them into secret minions.After the change of the sky and the panic among the people, he had a new task.

It is to provide help and cooperation in secret. The other members of the twelve celestial phases capture and collect all kinds of aliens that appear in the north and south of the river; and provide suitable transfer points and transportation channels for this generation; To fill the material.

Then, through other people's information channels and weird and unpredictable means, let anyone who dares to threaten the interests of internal members; die or have to retreat.Even the Shao Yin of Guangling Mansion, who was leaning on the governor of Yangzhou, could do nothing.

However, his ultimate self-confidence and overflowing power were shattered in an instant by a mere woman from Wu Desi.A group of soldiers who were secretly raised as minions were suppressed by the "Xunjiang Censor" who appeared suddenly with extraordinary means.

As a result, Ma Jin didn't even have time to react adequately, or took self-help measures of evasion and circling; just as the young Yin who was taking the opportunity to make trouble stepped hard, he escaped from Guangling City without dignity; Pushing the waves and fueling the flames, he fell step by step to the current desperate situation.

But no matter what, as long as I can survive, and look for an opportunity to re-interview with the most mysterious head of the twelve celestial appearances (God Empress/Zishu); There is still a chance of recovery if there are secrets and tricks.

The next moment, he felt a little thirsty in his mouth, and a little sleepy in spirit; so he gently opened the window and went out and shouted: "Is anyone here, find me some food to warm my stomach and quench my thirst." However, his voice fell, But there was only a quiet response from outside...

In an instant, Ma Jin's heart was full of Jingzhao. Could it be that the other party decided to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and kill them on the spot.Without hesitation, he left everything behind and jumped out from the rear window.However, what he saw were servants, courtyard guards, and guards lying on the ground with ashen faces by the wall and at the door.

The next moment, a cold iron hand suddenly came down from the air like lightning. Ma Jin only had time to rely on his years of martial arts and experience that had not been completely eroded by wine and lust; He hit the iron plate of the hand guard, but he swiped it and was pinched and broken several times.

Then he let go of the short blade, and Ma Jin, who rolled against the corner of the wall, also shouted hysterically to the void on the roof:

"I'm not reconciled. I'm really not reconciled. Just because of a woman, everything about me will be ruined."

"I was in the army at the age of 15, endured so much hardship, suffered many injuries, and gave up many precious things before I climbed to this position."

"You and I are actually abandoned children thrown out by big shots! Do you think that everything you see can be traced by yourself? Tell you, those people are just using you to eradicate dissidents. "

"I know a lot of things, and I have many people's handles, so I must not fall into the hands of the government, or there will be no way out; I still have many treasures and belongings buried in secret, if you can let me go, I'll give it my all..."

The next moment, an iron gauntlet passed through the wall again, and grabbed his back in a flash; while the momentary contact made Ma Jin's face weak and gray, it also made him chatter endlessly and incoherently The voice stopped abruptly.
