Royal Master Painter

Chapter 260 The Rat House
Su Kou refused Jiang Greed's support. He is a pharmacist and a poisoner. He is so proud that he can't show his weakness.

"You could have saved it"

"I know, I just suddenly thought of my father..."

Su Kou had always wanted to work hard to become a poison master, but in the end he found that he still couldn't get rid of his father's influence. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, he still chose to save people at the most critical moment.

"Have you ever thought that you are a pharmacist?" Jiang Greed asked suddenly.

"Killing people and setting them on fire will lead to a long life. Rescue the dead and heal the wounded, and the bones will not be cold."

Jiang Li didn't know what happened to Su Kou, who would turn a pure-natured person into a person determined to slaughter the city.

I found an inn in the city, and the three stayed there.

Firstly, it was for resting, and secondly, he had lived in Qingdu for many years, and all he knew was Yunzhou, and the inn, a place where tourists from all over the world gathered, could hear a lot of useful news.

After night fell, Su Kou recovered his spiritual power in the room, Yaya rested early, only Jiang Li was still drinking wine and eating vegetables in the bustling inn, watching the night scene through the window, and listening to the chatting of others.

Most of these people are talking idle, or bragging, but there are also some news worth paying attention to, such as Yan Youqin's entry into Daxuan City.

Yan Youqin arrived one day earlier than him, and caused a sensation in half of Daxuan City. The Confucian Mansion's power is well-deservedly number one in Daxuan City, and even the imperial power is often suppressed under the Confucian Mansion.

As the owner of Confucian Mansion Wushuang Enlightenment and the candidate for the next Confucian Mansion Master, many officials, big and small, gathered at the gate of the city on the day Yan Youqin entered the city.

It's just that Yan Youqin avoided them, entered the city quietly, and was summoned into the palace by the emperor that night.

In all fairness, Jiang Li felt that he was a little lucky in winning the Goose Lake meeting. It is hard to predict how strong Yan Youqin, who is enlightened by Lin Jing, is at this time.

Soon, Jiang Lu was attracted by another piece of news.

After all, the biggest thing in the entire Daxuan City today is of course the group of people who will be executed three days later. How could such a thing not be talked about after dinner?

Jiang Li picked up his wine glass and listened carefully.

"After this group of people moved back from the Fortress, it was difficult to make a living without farming, and they kept making troubles everywhere.

In the past, it was nothing more than ordinary people who bullied, but now they have been kicked to the iron plate. Do you know who is fighting with them? "While drinking, one person revealed the inside story that he knew that others didn't.

"Who?"

"King Ping, Zhao Jing"

"King Zong? That's really looking for death."

Jiang Li has heard that in the past, Xuanguo's government and the people were like a sieve, killing all the people who deserved to be killed, and none of the nine kings remained. The current generation of kings is the end of the Jiazi Gengxin Rebellion The next six digits.

"When the Tianshe Mansion was still there, how majestic and majestic were these Qiang people in the Fortress?"

"That's all old stuff. After the murder of Jiang Boluan and the great traitor Jiang Fengwu died, this group of people deserved to die, and now they have become a party of refugees." Some people also disdain.

"Don't underestimate these Qiang people, there are still some strong people among them, especially a few refugees."

The man looked around and lowered his voice.
"Reliable news, Shilaozhi has already summoned the old department, and is about to attack Daxuan City to save people when they are beheaded at the three-day roar."

"I said, why is the city defense so strict these days?"

"This group of vagrants ganged up to kill and set fire everywhere, and the imperial court had long wanted to exterminate these rogues, but unfortunately, these people acted very quickly.

Now that they dare to attack Daxuan City, the Military Officials Division has mobilized tens of thousands of troops, just waiting for this group of people to come in and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"It's a good show" so the diners and alcoholics all listened with gusto.

Jiang Gu thought to himself, it seems that the news of his entry into the city did not cause a lot of uproar. After all, the grandson of the human slaughter, the son of the great traitor should be more threatening than these refugees anyway.

Just as he expected, Jiang Greed's entry into the city was only known to a small number of real power holders in Xuan Kingdom, and these people did not make a public statement. After all, the shadow left by Jiang Boluan and Jiang Fengwu in the hearts of the people of Daxuan City is still there today.

"You are a street person, where did you get such secret news? You probably made it up by yourself to attract people's attention," Jiang Li said pretending to be contemptuous.

"Nonsense, everything I said is true"

"Who can prove this"

"me…."

Seeing that the man was so anxious that he couldn't speak, Jiang Greed added fuel to his anger.

"Hawking and hawing, flashing words, what is it if you are not a liar"

"My uncle and nephew, he is the gatekeeper of the Shulou, he told me yesterday when he was drunk."

This man couldn't stand Jiang Greed's provocative generals, so he cleaned up his bottom line.

"Shulou? It turned out to be news from the Shulou"

Hearing what they said, Jiang Li probably guessed where the Shulou was.

Daxuan City has a population of tens of millions, and there is a mixed bag of good and bad people. Some city foxes and social mice gather together to sell all kinds of information in order to make a living. As long as you give money, there is no news that you can't buy.

Later, it grew so large that even some high-ranking officials and dignitaries often went in and out, so the rat building was established.

After getting the answer he wanted, Jiang Li cupped his hands to signal that he was persuaded, and the next place he should go to was the Shulou.

He knew little about Daxuan City and had no one to rely on. If he wanted to find a solution, he might be able to get some help from the Shulou.

The Mouse Tower is located in a corner in the south of the city, where almost all the lower floors of Daxuan City are gathered, and beggars, prostitutes, and thieves can be seen everywhere.

In this chaotic place, Jiang Li couldn't find where the Shulou was for a while, and it happened that a little beggar held out a broken bowl in front of him.

Jiang Greed directly took out an ingot of 50 taels of silver, and put it into a broken bowl.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master..."

The beggar hurriedly thanked him.

"Take me to the Rat House"

The beggar looked Jiang Greed up and down.

"If you go to the Mouse House, it won't be enough to attract money."

"What is the money"

"Every piece of news about the Shulou is worth thousands of taels, the young master must bring some money to prove that you have the financial resources to buy it."

Jiang Li is a painter, and a painting can cost tens of thousands of taels or even 10 taels. To him, this kind of attracting money is just a trivial matter, not to mention that there are nearly a million taels in his book tube now.

Seeing Jiang Greed's generous spending, the little beggar hurriedly led the way.

"Master, I think you look like a painter."

The only people with book tubes in the world are scribes, and the richest among scribes is of course a painter.

"So what?"

"Without money and power, nothing like Shulou. Shulou likes to receive painters like you the most. I don't know what kind of paintings you are good at, and what kind of paintings are you good at?"

After confirming that Jiang Li was the painter, the beggar became even more enthusiastic.

"Everything involved"

"What about the shadow murals?"

"Know a thing or two"

"Great, you come with me"
