I am the Dragon King of the Well

Chapter 424: Rectification of water transportation in progress

The expressions of Jing Xinghuai and others secretly changed, thinking that another group of thieves was coming to kill them.

However, they discovered that the visitors were all wearing gray attire. Although there were only eight people in total, they had powerful energy and were all Class A soldiers.

Xu Chengqing was shocked. These Class-A soldiers were not big cabbages. How could there be so many of them all at once?
The figure swayed, and his feet touched the water gently, like a duckweed crossing the water. Afterimages erupted from his body, and he appeared in the middle of a group of people in black in an instant.

The weapons in their hands are not the swords of ordinary Jianghu people, but large guns. Although their movements are simple, they are decisive in killing. In one stab, they will definitely stab someone to death.

Just in the blink of an eye, those thirty men in black were killed.

"It's amazing! Is this a military move? The imperial court actually has such a powerful team?"

Xu Chengqing found it unbelievable. Originally, the emperor only mobilized 50 personal guards. He still felt shabby, but he did not expect that the real back-up force was also in the dark.

Perhaps this is the heritage of an empire that has been inherited for 500 years, and Class A weapons are also wholesale.

Only Jing Xinghuai vaguely understood the word "Bliss" embroidered on these people's clothes.

Before coming, the Emperor had promised him that he would ask the Martial Saint Chu Jifeng to take action.The Martial Saint Chu Jifeng was given the title of "Bliss King" and lived in the "Bliss Tower", the most prosperous place in the imperial capital, all year round.

He would not take action unless it was a war to destroy the country.

These masters must have been trained by martial saints.

Qiu Ping, who was on the side, saw something more. Although the eight people's bodies were full of blood, there was a vast and mysterious aura hidden in their roots, which was very similar to divine power.

These masters are actually deeply involved with Shinto.

But it's normal to think about it. The art of military weapons was originally derived from Shinto. If you want to manufacture Class A weapons in large quantities, cooperation with Shinto is the fastest and easiest way.

This is getting really interesting.

As all the B-level soldiers were killed, only three A-level soldiers were left. They were unable to gain the upper hand in the fight with the Yu family brothers. Now that there were eight more A-level soldiers, there was no way to win. reason.

"You go!"

One of them let out a loud roar, and the sword in his hand burst into a ball of light, resisting the Yu brothers.

The other two people got a chance to escape. Although they were sad in their hearts, they still jumped up and headed towards the shore.

However, how could the eight men in gray be allowed to leave as soon as they said so? The eight people spread out like mercury falling to the ground, connecting with each other. In an instant, they were like a big net covering the nearby land, blocking everywhere.

"Back off!"

The man in black who had screamed before shouted loudly again. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of hot blood, which landed on the sword in his hand.

And in an instant, the sword seemed to have become spiritual, directly leaving his hand and darting out like a swimming fish.

Just as the Yu brothers were about to intercept, the long swords in their hands were cut off in an instant, and then the sword passed by a shadow and passed through their necks.

At this moment, their blood ran cold and their minds went blank.

They couldn't imagine this almost magical method, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

However, they soon discovered that something was wrong. Why did the sword scratch their necks but pass directly through their bodies?
The next moment, the long sword jumped and fell into the hands of a boy on the deck not far away.

"It's actually an inferior magical weapon, but it doesn't require mana to activate it. It only needs to consume blood to exert sufficient power."

Qiu Ping played with the long sword and was a little curious about it.

There is still some ingenuity in the production of this thing.

And the man in black who activated the sword was shocked. His last reliance, which was also the key to ensuring the success of this assassination, was easily manipulated?

Who is this boy?There are no dwarfs among the three great martial saints of Daqian.

"Jiao Yuan, help me find out which family, sect, and person made this weapon. After you find out, take my talisman and mobilize people to go and investigate."

Qiu Ping casually threw the sword into the water, and in an instant, a white shadow hundreds of feet long appeared under the water, shaped like a dragon.

The river water was rolling slightly, and the shadow turned into a human form, took the sword directly, and followed the order.

Within the scope of Shinto, there are also various sects and families. Although they are not as powerful as the Xingkong Xianmen Sect, they can live happily relying on Shinto.

But refining special weapons like this and intervening in the affairs of human dynasties would be violating Shinto taboos.

Once the investigation is clear, the entire sect will be under surveillance.

This change happened within a short time of drinking tea.The leading man in black looked ashen after losing his sword, and he was detained together with the other two.

"Since Master Jing is no longer in trouble, I will leave first."

Although the eight men in gray looked at Qiu Ping with extremely fearful eyes and did not know who this person was, they still cupped their hands towards Jing Xinghuai, turned around, jumped into the shore, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But Qiu Ping could sense that their Qi machine was still nearby and could sneak up and protect them at any time.

Although he had a bad impression of Chu Jifeng, with this group of people around, he didn't have to take action often.

After all, as a god, it is always not good for him to interfere too much in human affairs.

"God, how should we deal with these three people?"

Jing Xinghuai left the protection of everyone, took the lead in saluting Qiu Ping, and asked respectfully.

"You are the protagonist of this trip. Make your own decision without asking me."

Qiu Ping waved his hand. He was just helping Jing Xinghuai organize the water transportation. He would not care about these trivial matters.

"it is good!"

"Two master uncles, please help me."

Jing Xinghuai nodded solemnly and looked at the Yu brothers.

"Chong."

Yu Jinjiang stretched out his hand and pulled out a guard's long knife. In an instant, it passed over the necks of three men in black. Three good heads flew up and blood spurted everywhere.

"Find a place to throw their bodies away, cover their heads with lime, and send them to the ferry to hang!"

"I don't think someone is going to organize the water transportation, but I don't want to go back alive. Anyone who dares to interfere with the water transportation will suffer the consequences!"

Although Jing Xinghuai had no power to restrain a chicken, he was full of evil energy at this moment.

Qiu Ping nodded secretly. He was indeed the person he had chosen back then. Although he was not perfect, he had a decisive and decisive character.

If not, how can we fight against those corrupt officials?

Everyone obeyed and went down to work.The boss of the ship led a group of men to clean up the blood stains on the ship's board.

The big ship headed south without encountering any more waves on the way.

……

Their ships may be lightly equipped and simple, and their speed is much faster than that of the imperial navy.

In less than eight days, they had entered Qingzhou.

At this time, the official document on the destruction of the Tianmen League, which had been running rampant through water transport and looting countless people, finally reached the imperial capital, and Jing Xinghuai was also sent a copy.

In the official official document of the imperial court, it was said that this group of water bandits had offended the gods and had just been destroyed, and that the imperial navy had not played any part in their efforts.To the Dukes of the imperial court, this sounds a bit ridiculous.

Although they were vaguely aware of the existence of gods in this world due to their status, gods never interfered in the human world, so how could they make such a big fuss?

Only Jing Xinghuai and others looked strange.

Because the [Generalissimo of the General Directorate for Supervision of World Water Transport] mentioned in the document is by their side at the moment.

"Since the navy has nothing to do for the time being, it's time to use the Emperor's Sword to control it and follow me to sort out the water transportation."

Jing Xinghuai silently put down the document and looked up ahead.

The local relationship is complicated. Although they have the Emperor's Sword and fifty personal soldiers, if those people are unwilling to cooperate, they alone will not be able to control those tricky people.

The emperor gave him the Emperor's Sword so that he could mobilize troops from local areas at any time and suppress them with iron and blood when necessary.

Of course, Jing Xinghuai also knew it in his heart.

This is a double-edged sword. If under high pressure, it leads to a desperate fight or even rebellion, the end he will face may not be very good.

I'm afraid there are countless people in the world who are forcing the emperor to compromise under the slogan of "Qingjun side" and "Killing Jing's thieves".

"Master Jing, there is news from Master Pei that he has invited more than a hundred gentlemen to check the accounts, and they are almost here at Haiping Mansion."

Xu Chengqing handed the express letter he just received to Jing Xinghuai.

The Master Pei in his mouth was naturally Jing Xinghuai’s mentor Pei Tao. Pei Tao was a great figure in the literary world, with disciples and former officials all over the world. Relying on his connections, he transferred some staff and accountants from various places to help Jing Xinghuai work together. Check the accounts.

Water transportation is in chaos, but if you really want to check, you can definitely find many deficiencies.

Among other things, it is the sale of official flags at various checkpoints.

As long as you purchase the official flag of the bank pass here, it will be released directly without any record on the account.But as long as you don't buy an official flag at every checkpoint, there will always be a record somewhere.

Even if your family has a big business and has bought all the official flags of the bank, those with such strength must be large-scale businesses.

These are the key objects that the court wants to investigate. If you sold any goods in a certain month of a certain year, but there is no relevant record at the bank, it must be tax evasion.

With the ability of the experienced and sophisticated accounting clerks, it couldn't be easier to find out some problems.

Once problems are discovered, not only must the shortfall be made up, but fines must also be paid in turn.

Otherwise, the family will be confiscated and the clan will be exterminated directly.

Countless thoughts flashed through Jing Xinghuai's mind. These are easy to say, but once the local authorities get together and join forces to counterattack, it will trigger a huge storm.

If you are not careful, you will go against all directions.

After entering the Qingzhou boundary, they took advantage of the darkness and left the ship directly.

But the ship still carried the flag of the imperial envoy, so the crew on the ship pretended to be their identities.

Because Jing Xinghuai dealt with too many people below him, once those old guys found out there was a problem, they would probably burn the account books directly.

What he lacks most now is time. In addition to keeping archives at various bank checkpoints, these account books are also backed up at the Yamen in charge of water transportation.

They need to attack secretly and get the ledger in their hands before everyone gets connected.

Qiu Ping mingled with Jing Xinghuai's team. He neither helped nor intervened.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day, for him, it is like playing an immersive plot experience.

But aside from that, this intense and exciting case handling process still made him feel very emotional.

If it can be made into a TV series, it should have good ratings.

Why did Jing Xinghuai choose Haiping Mansion as his first stop? It was because this was where the naval force temporarily summoned by the imperial court was located.

After this group of people was busy suppressing the bandits without success, they returned directly to this place.

It is estimated that it will be disbanded when the imperial court orders it.

After all, these are more than [-] people, and their daily food, drink and consumption are all directly allocated by the imperial court.

The imperial court has just ended its war with the Hu people in the north, and now the Ministry of Household Affairs is complaining about poverty every day.

Near Haiping Mansion, [Linghu Lake] is where the navy camp is located.

On both sides of the flat bank, continuous large tents were spread out, as if countless gray-white mushrooms were growing on the ground.

Large naval ships were moored in the lake, and the soldiers were lazily fighting in the camp.

The frontier troops of the Daqian Dynasty were actually quite elite, and the Beijing camp was not bad either, but this navy was famous for its lack of control.

After all, what they faced the most were water bandits within the dynasty.

These water bandits number as many as a thousand or as little as one or two hundred. As long as the court becomes more serious, they can be destroyed at any time.

Therefore, this navy has never paid much attention to training.

Especially since this was a temporary team that didn't even understand the accent and language, communication was very difficult.

Jing Xinghuai took out the Emperor's Sword and broke into the camp directly.

"Who is in charge here?"

He looked at the lazy people around him, with a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

This team has become like this, and the generals here cannot escape responsibility.

If he were the military governor, he would have killed the leader long ago.

Even if the fighting ability is not good, but it is so loose, it is simply embarrassing to the court.

When the soldiers in the camp saw this group of outsiders, although they looked murderous, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they gathered around them laughing and joking, as if the old farmers in the fields were watching the excitement.

Seeing this situation, Jing Xinghuai became even more unhappy.

After about half an hour, a big man in undershirt came out of the central tent. His clothes were askew and he smelled strongly of alcohol.

Through the cracks in the handsome tent, you can faintly hear the sounds of cute laughter and a hint of spring.

"What a fool, what kind of bastard has no eyesight and comes to my place to act wild."

Before others could reach him, a series of curses came out of their mouths.

"I heard that he is a high-ranking official from the capital. Commander Jie, please be careful when dealing with him."

The soldiers watching nearby were all laughing and joking, and some even joined in.

"What a bullshit official! The bandit suppressors only gave us a few days, and then they pressed us every day like we were dying."

The big man walked up to Jing Xinghuai, smelling of alcohol and stench all over his face. He looked down at Jing Xinghuai and the others with his eyes like bells.
