Chapter 24 Together Again

"The young master has a clever plan, and the reactions of those two people were all planned!"

On the way down the mountain, Sun Chong's face was filled with admiration and he was tut-tutting in admiration.

Mr. Wu was smoking a dry cigarette and smiling the same way.

He has watched Xiao Jingxing grow up, especially in the past three years, this boy has made good tobacco and wine for him. Although he is suspected of using himself to test medicine and wine, with his craftsmanship, this first puff of cigarette , the first sip of wine was only good, not bad. It was a pleasure that no one else could ask for, and my feelings naturally soared.

The bitter end has finally come.

What a joy.

"Old Sun, please stop praising him."

Xiao Su was satisfied, but still a little worried: "This kid is determined to have his own way, and I can only smooth things over now, and I can't control it at all. If he keeps praising him, he might do something next time!"

Sun Chong grinned.

Xiao Jingxing said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you everything? I have newly learned Shaolin Kung Fu and Tianyue Sword Technique. Even if it fails, I still have the [Fire Flowing Firefly] left behind by the master. I will definitely be able to deal with Mi Hanquan."

"Humph."

Xiao Su snorted coldly: "The 72 stunt "Great Compassion Palm" is just exposed like this, is it okay?"

"fine."

Xiao Jingxing said: "The origin of this skill is the Bone Monk, and now there are many people who can use it. Qian Youyu, the commander of Yuezhou Guards, used this skill to suppress the bandits half a month ago. There are many witnesses. I think he has already come to Shaolin." You don’t have to worry if you know the cause and effect. If Shuiyun and Mi Hanquan know about it, they will be more cautious. At this point, if even the incense owner cannot be restrained, our business will only stop here."

After three years of accumulation, we will make great achievements.

Now is the time when business is expanding rapidly. No matter how small a business is, it can't handle the large volume. There are already many business rivals and green forest tycoons who are eyeing the Xiao family.

Today's concessions by Mihanquan and Ziji Palace are an excellent opportunity to shock those people.

In the future, the more measured they are, the more others will have to weigh their decisions.

Xiao Su also understood this truth. If Xiao Jingxing's meridians were normal, he would never stop him from going to the mall or the battlefield, but he was still injured after all. Even now, he could only perform three moves a day.

What can the three moves do?
If I make a mistake today and am forced to use the fourth or even fifth move, my meridians cannot bear it and my body is about to collapse. It will be equivalent to exposing my weakness to Mi Hanquan and Shuiyun Zhenren. By then, it will not be 5000. It’s a matter of two.

"Ugh."

Xiao Su couldn't say much. The purpose of his son's doing all this was not for fame and wealth, but to collect intelligence and find treasures from heaven and earth to solve the meridian problem. Not letting him expand would mean not letting him save himself, but let him expand. You will be in danger again.

Neither advancing nor retreating, I am so worried.

"Dad, don't worry."

Xiao Jingxing smiled instead: "Those who have the ability will look down upon this little money from our family, and those who have the ability will not dare to touch it. Only forces like Ziji Palace and the Haisha Gang who are neither evil nor righteous and neither superior nor inferior are interested. In In the southeast, the power of the Haisha Gang is sufficient. Mi Hanquan, like his master, bullies the weak and fears the strong. Now that he has suppressed him, he dare not move. He can also use the reputation of the Haisha Gang to frighten Xiao Xiao. For a while, nothing happened. During this period, we just need to find more capable people. If you are lucky and meet two masters like Mr. Wu and Uncle Sun, all problems will be solved."

A hero also needs to dress and eat.

So what if you have high martial arts skills?It’s not about making money.

Mr. Wu and Sun Chong are self-aware. They are only in the early stages of innate talent and are not considered experts, but they are still very happy to hear Xiao Jingxing say this.

"I'll find someone."

Xiao Su's past twenty years have not been in vain. In terms of connections, there is really no one who can compare with the bodyguard.

"of course."

Xiao Jingxing laughed along with him and said with a smile: "You have to rely on dad to take action. With your connections, in the entire Southeast, [-]% of the masters who have never dated have also dated [-]%. You will definitely be able to pick them up at your fingertips. You can grab them when the time comes." , then there must be a gathering of candidates, and then..."

"okay!"

Xiao Su rolled his eyes at him angrily: "If you don't know how to praise him, don't praise him blindly. They are just clichés!"

The crowd laughed.

At this moment, a loud eagle cry suddenly came from the sky.

Several people looked up and saw a large black eagle coming straight from the northeast and flying towards the Ziji Palace on the top of the mountain.

The wingspan of the big eagle was more than five meters. It was an unusually powerful horse. There was a figure on its back. It was walking with a graceful attitude. After going up the mountain, after a while, the big eagle flapped its wings again and turned in the direction it came. There was an extra person, it was Mi Hanquan!
"Something happened to the Sea Shark Gang..."

Xiao Su looked up at the sky with a solemn expression and murmured: "This person should be the master of the Fujian branch - Dongfang Ce, the 'Diaoxia'. He came to see Mi Hanquan late at night. I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter."

Xiao Jingxing raised his head and thought thoughtfully: "If you are a seventh-grade [ink carving], you can raise one for transportation."

"..."

Xiao Su looked at his son speechlessly.

This kid is really too lazy to think even a little bit about things he is not interested in, but he really cares about his head. He said angrily: "Raising chickens and ducks is too noisy, but raising eagles? Didn't you hear the eagle cry?" Is that so? If you call me in the morning, no one in our street will have to sleep!"

"That's fine."

Xiao Jingxing immediately lost interest and looked back lazily: "Sleeping in is the most important thing."

Xiao Su couldn't laugh or cry.Xiao Jingxing didn't bother to worry about what happened to the Haisha Gang. The matter between Chang Yi and Chang Heng and his son had been settled. The Zhenyuan Escort Agency had no internal worries anymore and could expand with peace of mind. After working for half a night, he made three more moves. He was already exhausted. Now I just want to go home and sleep.

Tomorrow there will be those two treasures of heaven and earth that can improve the meridians and his uncle Xiao Keji waiting for him to worry about...

The group of people returned to the escort agency, Xiao Jing walked back to the room and fell asleep.

After being away from home for more than two months, I finally returned to my special Simmons. I slept very comfortably and didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning the next day. Shen Daoxiu had already brought breakfast and was sitting at the table sorting out information.

Xiao Jingxing rubbed his eyes, lay on his side on the bed, and looked at her back quietly.

"Can't you afford it when you wake up?"

Shen Daoxiu didn't even turn around. Just by the sound of the quilt rubbing, she could tell what kind of movements Xiao Jingxing had made and what he was doing. She knew him too well. She unfolded the small pieces of stationery that had just been removed from the carrier pigeon's legs, and then classified them into categories. They gathered together and said softly:
"We have some clues about what you want to check. Shopkeeper Wu of Yanping Prefecture has sorted out the movements of the 25 people in recent days through his contacts in eight carriage shops, thirteen inns, and 200 restaurants and teahouses in the whole prefecture. You want to Don’t you want to take a look first? There are also several other pieces of information, which are not simple either.”

Xiao Jingxing sat up and said, "Just let Xiaotong do these things. Her whole family is in the escort agency, so there won't be any second thoughts."

Shen Daoxiu shook his head: "The pigeon house is too close to the underground palace. The fewer people coming in and out, the better."

Xiao Jingxing had no choice but to say: "Having to do everything by hand is a huge drain on your mental energy. There are only a few blueprints and prescriptions in the underground palace. If you leak it, just leak it. The most important thing is you. The business will expand in the future and I will tire you out. I can't bear to let you go."

"What are you afraid of?"

Shen Daoxiu turned around and smiled, proudly saying: "I have a miracle doctor!"

"That's true."

Xiao Jingxing raised his eyebrows, not polite at all: "Come, let the miracle doctor check your body."

"..."

Shen Daoxiu blushed and sighed: "I'm not in shape. Get up quickly, the soy milk will get cold in a while."

Xiao Jingxing got up and got dressed. While eating, he quickly browsed the information. The first one surprised him.

——Yesterday afternoon, two masters, Xie Yu and Meng Jin, the incense masters of the Fujian branch of the Haisha Gang, were ambushed in Yongchun County on their way back from Yunnan to escort 5 taels of sand gold. After a fight, only Xie Yu was seriously injured and fled. The rest will die!When the accompanying gang members found Xie Yu, he was unconscious and poisoned. He was currently staying at the Ping'an Inn to recuperate. Last night, the hall master Dongfang Ce arrived with the incense master Mi Hanquan and the famous doctor Chu Guang. treatment.

——The important thing is the next sentence. In the evening of that day, about two hundred officers and soldiers escorted several escort boxes through the official road. The ruts left were deep and the contents in the boxes were heavy.

The topography of Fujian is "eight mountains, one water, and one farmland." The mountains are high, the mountains are steep, and the forests are deep, making it extremely difficult to navigate.

Cars and horses entering and leaving Fujian must take official roads.

Ping'an Inn is located in the mountains, and there are not many guests, but there is also the risk of encountering bandits, but Xiao Jingxing still spent a lot of money to open it, just to get first-hand information on this situation.

Yongchun County is under Quanzhou Prefecture and borders Yanping Prefecture. After the Tangmen Xishu Escort Bureau was robbed in Yanping, the Haisha Gang was robbed again at the border of the two prefectures. They were still dressed as officers and soldiers to the outside world. There is no doubt that it was that gang. People did it, and they have already entered Quanzhou!
There are more than 200 people and [-] horses. Even if they come and go like lightning, they still need food and supplies. This is where inns and restaurants come into play.

Others may be confused when checking, but if Xiao Jingxing really wants to use his spy to check carefully, they will definitely have nothing to hide!

its not right……

Xiao Jingxing frowned, and his mind was spinning. The Xishu Escort Bureau missed a Tang Tianrong, which was already very amateurish. The Haisha Gang missed another one... Couldn't they have deliberately kept him alive...

The main profit method of the Haisha Gang is the sale of private salt.

The Yantie official camp has always been the backbone of the national treasury.

The price of salt sold by the government is dozens of times the price in the place of origin, and the people still have to eat it, so the profits are extremely high!

This gave rise to salt traders who secretly sold illicit salt.

Since ancient times, the imperial court has never stopped cracking down on these private salt dealers. However, in the face of huge interests, the private salt dealers even organized their own armed forces to fight against the state machinery, forcing the court to give in, so there was "Yan Yin", that is, the qualification certificate for selling salt, allows salt dealers to cut meat to obtain salt Yin, become a regular businessman, and then pay a large amount of taxes to support the salt administration officials.

Even though there are more than a dozen exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes to pay, and they are repeatedly exploited, the salt merchants are still the richest in the world, which shows how huge the profits are.

The salt traders received benefits and had to do some extra things for the court in return. For example, they would receive court officials and help transport grain and grass.

The Giant Whale Gang and the Sea Shark Gang are a community of interests formed by salt merchants in the southeast. They have a lot of connections in the government and have become world-famous gangs with their wealth of salt from the Huaihe River.

The profits from selling illegal salt are called "place gold".

There is no need for two incense masters to escort 5 taels of sand gold. That group of people just robbed the Xishu Escort Bureau and offended the Tang Clan, a powerful foreigner. There is no need to rob another sum and provoke local snakes, unless... not only Alluvial gold, just like the Xishu Escort Bureau, is also secretly escorting valuable treasures such as [Jade Flat Peach] and Divine Artillery.

That makes sense.

That group of people deliberately kept him alive just to frame him!

Judging from Tang Tianrong's reaction, the first thing he suspected was that Fujian Governor Goldman had taken advantage of Tiancai and Dibao in order to heal his wounds. If this time it was still "Dark Wind, Poisonous Sand Palm", I'm afraid the Sea Shark Gang would also be suspicious, but the difference The thing is, the people from the Haisha Gang are even more unscrupulous!
Private salt profits are huge, and the stronger the Haisha Gang gets, the less willing they are to be exploited by the government. The contradiction between the two has long existed. This time, Goldman Sachs' blatant robbery has touched their bottom line - they are not even willing to establish a name. Yes, just grab it, what are you doing? !

"Goldman Sachs is going to suffer..."

If the Haisha accomplices are ignored, if Goldman Sachs dies, Fujian will inevitably be in chaos. When the Japanese pirates and pirates take advantage of the situation, the coastal people will suffer heavy casualties;

The identity of the uncle is also a mystery. What does he think and what role does he play in it?
You won’t find him a meeting gift again!
Xiao Jingxing's face became even more ugly, and he quickly picked up other information and browsed it quickly: "Don't make trouble for me, uncle..."
