Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 231 Disappearing
As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for the man on the mountain to say anything, and said to himself: "Mr. Xu, brothers, after my master releases me later, whoever makes a move will no longer be my brother."

Xu Fangyi and all the brothers sighed, with expressions of unwillingness and emotion on their faces.

People on the mountain would not believe Xu Fangyi's words, but he believed Li Junhao's words.So he threw Li Junhao to the crowd, Xu Fangyi and a few others rushed up to pick up Li Junhao, and motioned for everyone to do it, but Li Junhao, who was still in the air, yelled not to do anything, and then everyone stopped and looked at the man on the mountain He left in a hurry, disappeared into the nearby woods.

Since Ren Zhiliang cracked the Red Bat Building case with Ye Chen years ago and experienced life and death with Ye Chen, he intends to improve the relationship between himself and Ye Chen. Now he likes to go to Ye's house to ask for a cup of tea when he has nothing to do. Ye Chen gave him enough tea for a year, and he didn't change this habit. It seems that he has considered himself Ye Chen's friend since the last time he encountered Jiebalou.

Ye Chen knew that it was very likely that Zhao Guangyi instructed Ren Zhiliang to get closer to him, or wanted to get to know him better.But Ren Zhiliang is indeed an expert in solving crimes, and his own strength is also close to first-class.Ye Chen is not disgusted with being friends with such a person.Besides, Zhao Guangyi wanted to know about Ye Chen through Ren Zhiliang, and Ye Chen could also know about Zhao Guangyi through Ren Zhiliang.

"Last time I heard the principle of the domino effect that Ye Hou said. After thinking about it for a long time, I found that it is very reasonable. It is always some small things that cause troubles, but in order to cover up these small things, we have to do something more. Big things are used to attract other people's attention. The problem is that small things always exist, and we can't cover them up. Therefore, murders and crimes will emerge one after another. I don't know if Ye Hou has a good way to solve these small things in the bud. inside?"

"It's impossible. It's human nature to whitewash the peace and cover up the wrongs. It's human nature to always think that small things will always be covered up. Who knows but always fails. The smarter the person, the more he wants to play tricks, and he shows it to God over and over again. Our own stupidity, that is why we are called human beings and why we have to worship our ancestors."

"I have been taught, but Ye Hou, your jade pendant has killed more than 200 people so far. I don't know what Ye Hou thinks of it?"

Ren Zhiliang arched his hands for advice.

"The thieves want to steal the Marquis's treasure. Who can do it? You officials who maintain the local law and order are to blame. It's your dereliction of duty that you didn't eliminate the incident in the first place."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed, Ren Zhiliang said with a smile: "Why do you always have the feeling that Lord Hou is watching a joke? Besides offering a reward of [-] guan at the beginning, Lord Hou seems to have done nothing else. What happened! Within a few days after the loss of the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant, Lord Hou's family immediately returned to a peaceful life, which really surprised the lower officials."

"I heard that after the mountain master fled from your house, he fought again in the south. Under the siege and interception of a hundred first-class masters, he snatched the Tianxing jade pendant and injured Shangguan Bing in the chaos. Yun. It's just that he was injured in the end and was forced to throw out the jade pendant, so he was able to escape back to Dali." Ren Zhiliang whispered to Ye Chen pretending to be mysterious.

Ye Chen said with emotion: "The man on the mountain is old, and he can't live for ten years at most, but he hasn't lived enough. He is most afraid of death and wants to live forever, so he makes all kinds of moves."

"I heard that now the Tianxing jade pendant has fallen into the hands of a group of powerful and numerous water thieves in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. They are trying to contact the Southern Tang, Southern Han, and even my Great Song Dynasty, and want to sell the jade pendant for a good price. , but according to the officials, the end of this gang of water thieves has come."

Ye Chen suddenly remembered another thing. Zhao Kuangyin originally said that on the day of Wei Wang's wedding, he was appointed as the Wude envoy, commanding the Wude envoy's secret agents, and the former Wude envoy Zhang Zhan became his deputy.But when Ye Chen figured it out, this was a good job, which would be of great benefit to his various actions and purposes in the future. When he took the initiative to mention this to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin said that when Ye Chen found the Tianxing Jade Pendant and brought it to the palace , will give Wu Desi to him.

Because of this matter, Ye Chen has been speculating about Zhao Kuangyin's true thoughts these days, and feels a great pity.

After Ren Zhiliang left, Ye Chen took a group of guards and prepared to go out of the city to his [-]-acre fiefdom in Xiangfu County.He recently thought of a new profitable business. He took out ten acres of land and planned to build a simple maze surrounded by earthen walls, and then open it to everyone, and every five pennies can enter the maze once, and the time is not limited.

The maze was designed by him himself. In addition to reducing the difficulty of the Yefu maze by a hundred times, it also incorporated exciting play elements such as "haunted house", "magic cave" and "horror house" in some large parks in later generations.He believed that with his current reputation, especially the prestige of the "half-dead maze" in the Ye Mansion during the fifteen days from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival, after the construction of this simple maze, he would definitely make a lot of money.

Of course, at that time, it is inevitable to distribute leaflets and post advertisements in Kaifeng City first, and then invite celebrities from Kaifeng's political and business circles to organize a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and organize some people with status and status to lead them first. Under the celebrity effect, engage in a promotional activity.

Ever since the envoys of the Southern Han Dynasty proposed to exchange half of the Southern Han River and Mountain for Ye Chen at the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting on the first day of the new year, there have been more people in Kaifeng City and the nearby rivers and lakes, and there have been more murders and robberies. Kaifeng Mansion these days It took a lot of effort to catch and kill a lot, and then gradually returned to the normal state before.

It's just that not long after Ye Chen and his party left the city, they heard the sound of ping-pong-pong fighting as soon as they set foot on the Ye family's land.Ye Chen has always taken good care of his tenants. His plan is to eventually develop all of these tenants into his family's sons. Now someone dares to make trouble on his own land. Ye Chen is going to practice his hands. Recently, he has insisted on practicing swordsmanship. It feels like he has improved a lot, but his swordsmanship is a murderous swordsmanship, and he usually can't let the guards or Li Junhao serve as a training partner, and there is just an opportunity in front of him.

Ye Chen got off the horse, first ordered Ma Gangzi to go to see the situation, and then told all the guards not to rush up to scare people away, and prepared to go forward to perform a chivalrous act.

But at this moment, a loud voice came over: "Brother Ma, did Ye Hou ask you to meet me?"

Ma Gangzi was stunned, and after looking carefully for a long time, he realized that the man in front of him was covered in blood, slightly embarrassed, his sword was like lightning, and the man full of ambition and charm was actually Bai Canghai.

Under the threat of the powerful crossbows of all the guards of the Ye family, those extremely powerful Jianghu masters all showed great unwillingness on their faces.

Ye Chen looked at the blood-stained Bai Canghai in front of him, and didn't know what to say. This loyal, brotherly guy must have heard that Ye Chen's Heavenly Star Jade Pendant was robbed in Yangzhou, and it happened to be the gang that got the jade pendant. The Yangtze river water thief is not far from Yangzhou, so he took it back for Ye Chen.Obviously, Jianzhuang also put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, even though Bai Canghai is very powerful, if he wants to snatch the jade pendant from thousands of water thieves, and escape all the way north to Kaifeng, he will definitely not be able to do it. .

After all, Bai Canghai is still an annual ring person, so he laughed stinkingly, took out the blood-stained jade pendant from his bosom, and handed it to Ye Chen. When the jade token returns to Ye’s house, it will be more difficult for others to get it than ascending to the sky. Besides, as long as the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant is placed in the ‘Half-dead Labyrinth’, who else can grab it? How about kidnapping Ye? Chen's family?With the first time, will the entire Ye Mansion not be on guard?I'm afraid that kidnapping Ye Chen's concubine is more dangerous and difficult than breaking into the 'half-dead maze'.

Ye Chen opened his arms and hugged Bai Canghai, took the jade pendant from his hand, turned it upside down, and said loudly: "For this jade pendant, Ke'er and my unborn child almost got into an accident, and then Brother Bai was almost hurt. No life, alas! Since this jade pendant has been known to the world, putting it on me will only cause endless troubles for me and the people around me, so it is better to just throw it away."

After speaking, he glanced at the woods hundreds of feet away, and shouted: "Give the jade pendant to Your Majesty, and say that this Marquis will not dare to hold it in his hand again for a moment."

While speaking, he threw it out casually, and the dozen or so masters of the rivers and lakes no longer cared about the powerful crossbows surrounding them, and rushed into the woods in a swarm.

Bai Canghai's expression changed at first, but then he regained his composure. He sighed deeply, looked at Ye Chen with admiration, and said sincerely, "Brother Ye is indeed very human."

There were screams in the woods, and after ten breaths, half of the dozen or so masters who had just rushed in ran away in a panic, while the other half turned into corpses and were thrown out, and then Zhang Zhan walked out with more than 30 people , bowed to Ye Chen from a distance, and said: "Ye Hou don't worry, the official will definitely hand over the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant to His Majesty, and will also tell His Majesty exactly what Ye Hou said just now."

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Chen to say anything, he led the people and galloped towards Kaifeng city.Obviously, with the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant on his body, even if Kaifeng City is next to him, the Wu Desi people feel very insecure.

In the scene just now, the envoy of Wu De happened to be nearby, and Ye Chen was very satisfied with it.If it is said that whoever throws the hot treasure of Tianxing Yupei has the least worries and can divert troubles away from Ye Chen most, then it belongs to the emperor of Song Dynasty.It couldn't be better to put this thing in the palace.

Chongzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.

After Zhao Kuangyin quietly listened to Zhang Zhan's narration, including how the Tianxing jade pendant returned to Kaifeng, he picked up the jade pendant, looked at it carefully for a while, sneered, and said, "Okay, Wang Ji'en! Fill this with hundreds of Put the jade pendant made of human blood into the treasury!"

Zhang Zhan was taken aback, and said, "Your Majesty, don't exchange the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant for some benefits with Nan Han."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It seems that Ye Chen had to hand over the Tianxing jade pendant because you were not far away, and in order not to let me suspect that he would exchange the fake jade pendant for the real jade pendant. He immediately threw it away as soon as he took it over. I gave it to you. But in fact, this kid Ye Chen, from the beginning this time, made it clear that he wanted to throw out his troubles, create a so-called 'half-dead maze', and then kill some people, just to make the world Everyone thinks that this jade pendant is real, and by the way, he also uses those masters in the world to fight to the death of some of his enemies. But I believe that this kid will never throw out the real Heavenly Star Jade Pendant. This time, I was taken advantage of by this kid Once, he took care of this trouble for him."
