On the wide bluestone road.
Tie Kuang and Cao Hong were sitting on horseback, followed by a dozen Black Ice Guards.
The drunkenness disappeared from the faces of the two people, and they drove their horses slowly. The horses' hoofs stepped on the bluestone, and the sound of clicking echoed.
"Brother Cao, what do you think of this person?"
Cao Hong thought for a moment after hearing this, "He has great ambitions!"
Tie Kuang chuckled upon hearing this, "Who in the world doesn't have ambition? This is nothing!"
"The imperial court also intends to support some Jianghu forces to prevent them from fighting each other. What do you think of him?"
Cao Hong shook his head, "This man is unruly and has great plans. I'm afraid no one will be able to restrain him!"
"Yes! Judging from his handiwork, no one can resist it!"
He thought of the pearls and gold in the food box, as well as the secret book. No one could resist these things.
What is the purpose of being an official? Not for these things!
They also want to get rid of Lingchu and monopolize the Xi family's property, but they don't have such strength!
They knew the strength of the West Family very well, with great masters sitting in charge, but they were still destroyed!
There must be a great master behind this person, leaving them unable to do anything but sigh.
If it weren't for fear, they would have taken action long ago, why would they come to the door!
If they want to mobilize the Black Ice Guard's power in Youzhou, they need the consent of adults from hundreds of households.
But the risk is too great. Black Ice Guards and Jiang Hu Zhongren are already at odds with each other. If they dare to do this, they are looking for death.
There is a delicate balance between the Jianghu and the imperial court. If they dare to break it, the commander will skin them!
Tie Kuang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "To be honest, I have never seen so many pearls!"
"Didn't you see it today?"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"The West family is also a petty family. If they had done something like this, how could they have ended up like this!"
"You said, these things moved you?"
Cao Hong pointed to the food box on the horse, "Of course, you don't want to see what the food box on the fifth floor looks like?"
"The Five Prefectures of Youzhou! He won't fall out by then!"
Cao Hong shook his head and said, "No, although we have gained a lot, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to him. You can't live long if you live alone. He should know it very well!"
"We have to report this matter to Master Baihu. We can't bear it if something happens!"
"Let's go together. Brother Tie, you come to the Qing government and I'll be the host. Let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord!"
"Haha... Then you're going to spend a lot of money!"
Cao Hong patted his chest and said boldly, "You have money! Baihuafang, look for the oiran!"
He looked at the Black Ice Guard behind him and asked loudly, "Brothers, I will take you to Baihuafang to have fun, do you want to go?"
"go!"
Everyone's faces showed joy when they heard this. This place is the most expensive place in Youzhou. Not only are there beautiful women, but it is also a gold-selling cave. They all dream of going there.
"Ha...ha...ok...but I'll put the ugly words first. If you dare to say nonsense, if Master Baihu finds out, you will never even think about entering Baihuafang again, do you hear me!
"I heard it, we won't talk nonsense!"
"I won't tell you even if I kill you!"
"Sir, hurry up!"
"Sir, I can't wait any longer!"
Cao Hong spat, "A bunch of worthless things! Let's go!"
……
Lingchu walked into the dungeon. It was dark inside and a man was tied to a wooden frame.
When Jin Pinjiang saw someone coming in, he shouted, "Who are you? You dare to kidnap a court official. You don't even want to live anymore? Let me go!"
"Shut up!"
The man guarding him punched him in the stomach, causing him to groan, and the severe pain made his body twitch.
"Ask you something!"
Jin Pinjiang nodded quickly when he heard this, enduring the severe pain, "I said... I said... I will tell you whatever you want to know!"
The guard had a look of disdain on his face, he turned out to be a weakling!
"Qinglong Gang, do you remember?"
His expression changed when he heard Lingchu's words, "What Qinglong Gang? Who are you?"
The light in the dungeon was dim, and he couldn't see Ling Qing's face clearly. In addition, he deliberately lowered his voice, just like a stranger.
"It seems you are still not honest enough to let him speak!"
The guard pried Jin Pinjiang's fingers away and pulled them up hard. The pain caused him to scream, "It hurts... it hurts... let go!"
"explain!"
"Say...say...what?"
"Click..."
Jin Pinjiang screamed, one of his fingers was broken off, and the severe pain made his face pale, with a look of fear on his face, "I am the official of the imperial court, you...ah..."
His second finger was broken off, causing his whole body to tremble in pain and his expression to be distorted.
"Sooner or later you will say, if you want to continue to taste the taste of a severed finger, I have plenty of time!"
Lingchu looked at the guard, "Continue!"
Just as the guard was about to take action, Jin Pinjiang's body trembled and he said urgently, "I said...I said...what do you want to know?"
"Why do you let people from the Qinglong Gang kill people? Who ordered you?"
Jin Pinjiang calmed down, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "No one knows about this? How did you know?"
"Break off a finger!"
"Crack!"
Lingchu's eyes turned cold, "Say!"
"Ms. Zhou Mu asked me to do it!"
Ling Chude frowned, "Speak clearly!"
"A few days ago, I was on duty at the government office. The head of the state government came to the government office and asked me to help with something!"
"Later during the conversation, he revealed that this was Mrs. Zhou Mu's intention. She gave me five thousand taels and asked someone to kill the exiled prisoner!"
"The Qinglong Gang is quite powerful and we have a good relationship, so I went to find them and gave them a thousand taels!"
Jin Pinjiang said quickly, "I have told you everything I know, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
"Who is this Mrs. Zhou Mu?"
"Mrs. Zhou Mu is from the Zhao family in the capital. She is the second daughter of Zhao Guangji, the Imperial Grand Master. I dare not disobey her orders!"
Lingchu's eyes turned cold. Sure enough, they were involved. Why?
Let them take such pains to get rid of their predecessors!
The source is still in Ling Jing!
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Zhao Guangji supports that prince in court?"
"This...this...I don't know, and I don't dare to get involved in the affairs of those big shots!"
"What's Mrs. Zhou Mu's name?"
"Zhao Manxuan!"
Lingchu immediately stood up and walked out of the dungeon. It seemed that he was going to meet Zhao Manxuan!
Zhou's residence is in Tianyou Mansion. It seems that he has to make a trip!
"Lord, what are you thinking about?"
Piaoxu looked at Lingchu who was silent and asked aloud.
Lingchu looked at her and smiled slightly, "Nothing!"
Piaoxu looked at the dungeon and asked, "My lord, he is an official of the imperial court after all. How should we deal with him?"
"Sell him to the mines and let him fend for himself!"
"And silence all the people who handled it, and let Tie Kuangtu find someone to do it!"
Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't the Frightened Salamander back yet?"
Jing Salamander went to the black market in Gaoyang Prefecture to form a killer organization, and it’s time to come back!
"No news has come yet!"
Lingchu frowned, something happened!
Then he shook his head, it shouldn't be possible, the Frightened Salamander is not weak, there should be something else going on.
At this moment, a sword energy full of murderous intent stabbed Lingchu, and the sharp sword energy pierced his heart!
