Chu Ming looked at He Jian with an idiot look.
"Only you know the location and time. How could anyone rush to Shilipo by such a coincidence?"
After hearing Chu Ming's answer, He Jian really felt that he was stupid.
"You will inevitably be nervous when transporting goods for the first time, but don't worry, this trade route has been running for a while and there has never been a problem."
"When I heard you say that, I felt completely relieved. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you will arrive safely."
He Jian, who was a bit rude, did not understand the meaning of Chu Ming's words. After confirming the time again, he hurriedly left.
The next day, as soon as the city gate opened, a large cart drove out of the east city gate. After a while, they arrived at a ten-mile slope outside the city and saw more than ten large carts waiting there.
The young man driving the car hurriedly jumped from the shaft to the ground. After saluting, he said, "I don't know who is the steward. I am a clerk at Chen Kee Automobile Dealers. I have been ordered to deliver this truck of goods. Please check it with the steward."
"Okay, no problem, you can go back."
After a middle-aged man inspected the vehicle, he completed the handover of the vehicle.
He Jian had initially reached an agreement with Chu Ming. Since he only had one truckload of goods, he stopped hiring handlebars alone and joined Chu Ming's fleet first.
In fact, there was no such thing as Chenji Car Dealership. The man who drove the car was also a disciple of the Black Clothes Sect, and he was also He Jian's confidant. It was precisely because of He Jian's care that he was not sent to Gushe Mountain to take risks, and he was lucky enough to survive. today.
He Jian did not expect that his every move had already been under surveillance.
After the convoy walked along the outskirts of Gushe Mountain for an hour, He Jian, who was hiding among the cargo, felt his eyelids become heavy and fell asleep.
On the third day after He Jian left, Taiyi Sect raided the Black Clothes Sect stronghold and Li Mansion hidden in the water jacket, and also eliminated the Viper Gang who was involved with the Black Clothes Sect. The remaining Black Clothes Sect disciples They were all captured, and only He Jian escaped.
The person in charge of this operation was a female disciple named "He Xiaohua" from the Taiyi Sect, who was also a strong person in King Wu's Dzogchen.
Taiyi Sect is actually a sect dominated by women. Although there are some male disciples, their qualifications and status are far inferior to those of female disciples.
"This He Jian is a key figure. He is mainly responsible for contacting the outside world, but now he has mysteriously disappeared."
Other disciples introduced the situation of this operation to He Xiaohua.
"The person in charge of this place is the low-ranking deacon of the outer sect of the Black Sect, who is also He Jian's uncle, but even he doesn't know the specific whereabouts of He Jian."
"Is it possible that he is still in the city?"
"It seems unlikely at the moment, because He Jian disappeared three days ago."
"So, it's possible that he left Hedong City three days ago? Is it possible that he used it as a cover-up to deliberately release smoke to make everyone think that he left, but in fact he is still hiding in the city."
He Xiaohua put forward her own opinions on this.
"Sister, it seems unlikely at the moment. We have searched Hedong City and strictly ordered the Longhu Gang, the largest gang in the area, to cooperate, but we still can't find any trace of He Jian. The possibility of him staying in the city is already high. Very little."
"Yes, you are meticulous in your work and deserve praise."
He Xiaohua did not expect that his junior brothers and junior sisters had already considered all possibilities.
"He Jian is very important. Since he is responsible for contacting the outside world, he naturally knows how the Black Clothes Sect evaded our monitoring and entered the Northeast Region. So we must not let him escape."
"Since He Jian is responsible for contacting the outside world, if he really mastered the secret passage, he might have escaped from the Song Dynasty long ago."
Some disciples also made reasonable inferences based on He Xiaohua's ideas.
"No matter what, we still have to do our best to find He Jian. Who is he closest to on weekdays?"
"He is naturally his uncle within the Black Clothes Sect. Among ordinary people, he has a good relationship with a clerk in the county government."
"Bring this chief registrar to me."
Not long after, Chu Ming was brought to the lobby of the county government office. His appearance made the female disciples of Taiyi Sect's eyes light up.
"What a handsome young man!"
Chu Ming's foundation was already strong, and the otherworldly temperament brought to him by practicing the "Secret of Immortality" made him more attractive to women.
The sect’s fairy is also a woman! After seeing Ming Ming's appearance, the original majestic aura in the hall softened.
"Are you the chief registrar of Hedong County?"
"Hello, fairies and immortal masters, I am the chief secretary of this county, Chu Ming."
His polite appearance made all the female disciples even more fond of him.
"You have a good relationship with He Jian, the county's head catcher?"
"We usually get along well with each other, and Captain He is also an enthusiastic person. Xiaosheng owns an ancestral restaurant. Thanks to his care, local gangs and hooligans have never caused trouble."
Chu Ming did not deny his relationship with He Jian, but instead admitted their friendship.
"Did you know that he is a demon from the Black Clothes Sect?"
Chu Ming smiled bitterly, and then replied, "Xiaosheng just learned about it. He is still in shock and has not been able to fully recover."
"You did a very good job of evading it. In just a few words you completely wiped out your relationship with the demon."
The male disciple next to him couldn't stand the way his senior and junior sisters treated Chu Ming, so he first put a big hat on his head.
"Master Immortal has misunderstood. I do have a close friendship with He Jian, but I really don't know his true identity. You are all among the immortals. Can you easily tell ordinary people your identities?"
"You are too calm. Ordinary people would not react like this when they see us."
He Xiaohua raised her doubts at this time. At this time, everyone also discovered that Chu Ming's calm temperament was not a disguise, but the pride radiating from his bones.
This is strange, how can an ordinary person have confidence when facing them.
"Young man is worthy of heaven and earth. He has never done anything wrong in his life. Why should I panic?"
At this time, a female disciple handed Chu Ming's information to He Xiaohua, and she quickly read through all the information about Chu Ming.
A member of the Chu family lives in Hedong County. Each generation builds bridges and roads, helps the poor, and accumulates good deeds continuously. Chu Ming's generation also perfectly inherited the Chu family tradition. In winter, they would set up porridge sheds to help those in need survive the severe cold, and countless people survived.
People like Chu Ming who have accumulated virtues and done good deeds from generation to generation often have good luck and are favored by God.
He Xiaohua and other members of the sect naturally understand this.
It is a pity that Chu Ming has passed the best time for cultivation, otherwise, if he was introduced to the sect, he would probably have a bright future.
Coincidentally, the female disciples of Taiyi Sect all felt pity for Chu Ming.
"Are there any abnormalities in He Jian's daily life?"
In order to ease the atmosphere just now, He Xiaohua took the initiative to change the topic.
Chu Ming deliberately pretended to think seriously, and after a while he replied, "He Jian and I are talking about fireworks in the world, there is nothing special about it. After all, if it is other topics, we have nothing in common." language."
Chu Ming's words were recognized by the disciples of Taiyi Sect, because they were also members of the sect. If they were ordered to lurk, they would not be able to reveal their identities to ordinary people.
Originally, summoning Chu Ming meant they would be lucky, and they did not expect to know He Jian's whereabouts from Chu Ming. "In gratitude for your good deeds, I have three hundred taels of gold here, so I will give it to you. It can be considered a little bit of my gratitude."
He Xiaohua first took out three hundred taels of gold and handed it to Chu Ming.
With the senior sister taking the lead, others also donated generously. Even the male disciple who had a problem with him also gave out five hundred taels of gold. In less than a cup of tea, the table was already piled with gold. Look, It looks like no less than ten thousand taels.
Chu Ming also discovered that the higher the realm, the less gold the disciples took out. This shows that in the world of the sect, the currency for King Wu and above should be spiritual stones, not secular gold and silver.
Chu Ming first saluted everyone, but refused to accept their gifts.
"Thank you all the fairies and immortal masters. Please forgive me for not being able to accept your gifts because I don't know how to appreciate them. You must know that ordinary people are not guilty and are guilty of possessing a treasure. I don't know how many people will covet this much gold, and I don't know how many people will covet it." Your ability to move mountains and reclaim seas may cost you your life.”
The disciples of Taiyi Sect did not expect that Chu Ming could remain rational in the face of such a huge wealth and calmly made an objective analysis.
Even the male disciples who didn't like him couldn't help but praise him secretly.
"It's such a pity that you are so mentally ill and can't join the sect!"
He Xiaohua sighed in his heart again.
"In this case, you will only accept these three hundred taels of gold as your use to relieve the poor."
"Chu Ming thanked the fairy for the gift."
This time, Chu Ming did not refuse, but happily accepted He Xiaohua's gold.
"This damn charm! If I go to various sects to beg for help from female disciples, I might become the richest man in the mainland."
Chu Ming, who successfully passed the test, couldn't help but encourage himself in his heart.
When Chu Ming returned home in the evening, he and Yu Niang rarely discussed what happened in the city.
"He Captou turns out to be a demon from the Black Clothes Sect!"
Yu Niang, who had always been unfazed by favors and humiliations, was also shocked by the news. It was rare to see an obvious change in expression on her face.
"I can't believe it either, but He Jian is missing. I was summoned by the fairies for questioning because I had close contacts with him."
"Fairy?"
"It's a sect called Taiyi Sect, and all the fairies are very kind."
Although Yu Niang's expression was well controlled, Chu Ming was still keenly aware of the flash of contempt in her eyes.
"He Shan, they asked you for questioning for no reason. Do they still want to embarrass me?"
"Yu Niang, be careful what you say, and be careful of misfortunes coming from your mouth. These fairies are not something we can offend, and they are really compassionate towards all living beings. Knowing my charity of helping the poor, they gave me three hundred taels of gold."
