Domineering

Chapter 159
"Why should you be afraid? Meiniang, you haven't done anything wrong, why should you be afraid?"

Shangguan Shenhao stood in front of the window railing with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

Wu Meiniang's 'Zhanwen Pavilion' stands by the river, with a nice view.

Wu Meiniang gave a wry smile: "Today, [-] soldiers from the Shangguan family, together with [-] soldiers from the nearby Tianping Army, went to the ancient market. They were investigated and blocked inside and outside, like a net of heaven and earth. Who doesn't know that the head of the Shangguan family is furious? Just ask Meiniang How can you not be afraid?"

Wu Meiniang then looked serious, and said in a serious voice: "If the Shangguan family mainly asks who is the murderer who killed Shangguan Longjian, Meiniang really doesn't know! This fifth-rank master seems to have emerged from a crack in the stone. Meiniang didn't know who came here. What's more——

The turmoil in the Nishen Banner has not subsided, and there are at least ten undisclosed masters lurking in Xiushui County, and Meiniang can only glimpse the whereabouts of some of them through a few clues.But there are still some people who are good at hiding. "

She did not mention that she was entrusted by someone to follow Shangguan Longjian's whereabouts.

Wu Meiniang never dared to reveal a word.

If Chu Xisheng was responsible for Shangguan Longjian's death, wouldn't she be Wu Meiniang's accomplice?
If not, you are asking for trouble.

This time I was really screwed by that guy——

"It makes sense!" Shangguan Shenhao nodded slightly, he thought Wu Meiniang's words were true.

"What I want to know now is the situation of all the fourth- and fifth-rank masters in the county, especially their whereabouts, whereabouts, and directions when the incident happened. The more detailed the better."

"Wait!"

After thinking for a while, Wu Meiniang walked into the inner room.

She rummaged through the bookshelves inside for a while, then took out several stacks of documents and sent them to Shangguan Shenhao.

"Everything the Patriarch Shangguan wants to know is here."

Shangguan Shenhao flipped through it for a while, and his eyes showed satisfaction: "Yes, Meiniang, your news channel is indeed better than my family's. I didn't know that Beitianmen and Supreme Xuanzong also had fourth-rank masters entering our county. Thank you very much."

He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and threw them on the table next to him.

And just when Shangguan Shenhao was about to leave, Chu Xuanjie suddenly asked: "I heard that you are the most well-informed know-it-all in Xiushui County? You should know about the death of my brother Chu Zhengyang. What clues, I am willing to pay a lot of money to buy. There are also Prince Li's remaining party, do you know their whereabouts?"

Wu Meiniang was stunned, and then shook her head: "Chu Zhengyang is a thousand households in Linhai County. I don't pay much attention to the affairs of the other county, so I don't know the truth. However, outsiders speculate that Chu Zhengyang's death may be related to the Situ Li case. Then The tragedy in the ninth-rank secret realm is unusual, and he couldn't do it alone. As for the remaining party of Prince Li—"

She frowned: "Master Chu, you can investigate it yourself. The matter involves 'swords like dreams'. Meiniang still wants to live for a while, so I dare not reveal half a word."

Chu Xuanjie nodded slightly when he heard the words, and walked out of the 'Zhanwen Pavilion' together with Shangguan Shenhao.

Although Wu Meiniang didn't disclose half a word, the attitude of this woman has actually hinted that there is indeed Prince Li's party activities in Linhai and Xiushui County.

Unlike Jin Yiwei and Six Doors, who have been searching for nothing all the time——

The previous few words also gave Chu Zhengyang a new way of thinking.

Just after going downstairs, Chu Xuanjie looked back thoughtfully: "This woman is a bit interesting, who is she? A mere war pattern master can have such a wide and well-connected network, and he can get in touch with Dongzhou eight county?"

Shangguan Shenhao walked down the stairs with a calm expression, and then pointed at a small mark on the door: "It belongs to this family."

Chu Xuanjie focused his attention and found that it was a small word for 'machine'.

The word is not only small, but also very vague, and it is almost impossible to detect if you don't pay attention.

Chu Xuanjie couldn't help laughing: "So it's the Tianji Hall, a subordinate of the Taoist Tianji."

The Tianji Museum not only operates "Tianji Wushu", but also makes a business of tens of millions of taels of magic silver with various news and information in this world.

※※※※

The Hu Kan brothers were quick to do things, and they contacted Dong Linshan of the Lunwu Building for Chu Xisheng that morning.

The two sides made an appointment for the next night at the ancient market, and the place was set at the restaurant 'Zhiweiju' near the river.

However, the Hu Kan brothers had to leave Xiushui by boat tomorrow morning, so they would definitely not be able to attend the banquet, so Chu Xisheng could only go there by himself.

At this time, the turmoil of Shangguan Longjian's death had spread to the county.

The entire city of Xiushui County was full of turmoil and swords were on the verge of breaking out.

When Chu Xisheng went to buy steamed raccoon dumplings at Fumanxiang Baozi Shop, he saw a large number of soldiers from the Shangguan family walking on the street. They were all fully armed and looked coldly at the passers-by on the street.

Chu Xisheng didn't take it seriously. The Shangguan family's demeanor was not because they thought that the whole county would be able to find out anything under the martial law, but just wanted to remind the whole county in this way that the power and prestige of the Shangguan family should not be taken lightly!

People were indeed as silent as cicadas, walking on the street without looking sideways and daring not to speak.But when they left the street, they were still talking about melons, even gloating.

Chu Xisheng ate the sour steamed raccoon dumplings, and walked back to the martial arts hall with a satisfied expression.

Buying steamed dumplings with four cages of raccoon meat at Fumanxiang Baozi shop is a code sign, which means receiving a salary.

Cao Xuan really gave him money, the basic salary of the two people plus subsidies, a total of 450 taels, and he can receive it every month in the future.

Although this is not as profitable as life and death, it is better than a long stream of water.

What's more, since he beheaded Tao Yuan, Zuo Ya Nei has not found a suitable opponent for him for more than a month, and no one dared to fight him.

Chu Xisheng regretted it a little now. He really should have put on a show for a few rounds on stage.

As for Jin Yiwei's salary, as long as Cao Xuan doesn't think that their brothers and sisters only eat and do nothing, Chu Xisheng can continue to receive it.

Only the taste of steamed raccoon dumplings is hard to describe in words, it is slightly sour to eat, and it is a pity to throw it away.

At this time, the atmosphere inside the martial arts hall was also a little heavy.

Many martial arts disciples on the road were also whispering and discussing this matter.

Shangguan Longjian is not only the son of the Shangguan family, but also a student of the martial arts school, a top-ranked Sanye inner sect.

The death of this person had a great impact on the martial arts disciples.

Chu Xisheng's mentality is as usual, everything is as usual, and he does what he usually does.

Until the evening of the next day, Chu Xisheng first went to the front of Chu Yunyun's room to have a look, and found that Chu Yunyun was still sitting cross-legged inside, concentrating on concentrating the true talisman.

Chu Xisheng looked carefully and found that the five runes had a tendency to condense into one.

He couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips, knowing that Chu Yunyun's breakthrough was imminent, probably within a day or two.

Chu Xisheng didn't bother, and went out directly to the east pier of the city.

If it had been more than a month ago, when Chu Xisheng had just finished the life-and-death fight, Chu Xisheng would not have dared to go to the ancient market alone.

Walking down the streets of the ancient bazaar, he would surely be torn apart by those angry gamblers.

However, after more than a month, the impact of this life-and-death fight has faded.And now that there are still a large number of soldiers from the Tianping Army stationed in the ancient market, those who are usually domineering and arrogant will also restrain themselves a lot.

But when Chu Xisheng walked out of the gate of the martial arts hall, Lu Luanli followed.
