"Mr. Yang doesn't know that this southern border blood jade can store a warrior's energy and blood."
"Therefore, if in a life-and-death battle between warriors, which side owns a piece of Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade, his winning rate will be greatly increased."
When Yang Dong heard this, his expression was slightly startled.
He looked at Ming Xiu in front of him in surprise and said in confusion:
"Since this southern border blood jade is so useful, why do the warriors in the capital never carry it?"
After hearing this, Ming Xiu also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Actually, there are many reasons for this..."
"For example, the output of blood jade in Southern Xinjiang is extremely low, and the conditions for storing the power of qi and blood are extremely harsh."
"If you hadn't practiced since childhood, it would be difficult to infuse the power of Qi and blood into the blood jade."
Yang Dong frowned and continued to ask:
"You mean that only warriors who have practiced special techniques can infuse the power of qi and blood into blood jade?"
Mingxiu nodded seriously,
"Currently, both the four major families and some small families are keen on cultivating warriors to practice this set of techniques. People call it the Spirit-Enlightening Technique, but..."
Speaking of this, his tone became a little more complicated.
"It's just that this spiritual awakening technique seems to have some kind of flaw. Any warrior who has practiced it for over forty years will be poisoned and die."
When Yang Dong heard this, the expression on his face was slightly startled.
From this point of view, this spiritual enlightenment technique is no different from suicide.
But come to think of it, there will always be some people who are willing to sell their lives in order to get what they want.
It is estimated that these big families use this technique in order to cultivate dead warriors.
It’s just that Yang Dong is a little curious at this moment. What is the connection between the spiritual enlightenment technique, the southern Xinjiang blood jade, and the ancient corpse and Lao Liu he encountered?
The water in the four states south of the Yangtze River seems to be very deep!
All investigations seem to have returned to the starting point.
"Mr. Yang, our next arrangements..."
…
The capital, the imperial palace,
The empress frowned slightly as she read Yang Dong's letter.
Xiao Dongzi may be in trouble this time.
But...how can I help him?
The empress pondered for a moment, then pulled out a thin book from the shelf.
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Give this booklet to Xiao Dongzi with your own hands."
…
Capital City, Qunfang Tower,
Cuihua glared at Hong Laoliu who was eating and drinking angrily, frowned and said:
"Old man, Mr. Yang is in some trouble in Jiangnan now. You have taken so many benefits from him and why don't you want to help?"
Hong Laoliu wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, then picked up a chicken leg and started to feast on it. It was as if Cuihua had not heard anything at all.
This made Cuihua very angry. She stepped forward, grabbed Hong Laoliu's ear, and said angrily:
"You old thing, did you hear me talking to you?"
Hong Laoliu groaned, rubbed his ears, and said helplessly:
"Don't worry, I will go to Jiangnan personally this time, but... the water here is very deep, and this kid may be in trouble~"
…
In the next few days,
Yang Dong did not continue the investigation. Now all the clues have been cut off, and the man described by Old Liu before his death has no clue.
The investigation seemed to have reached a deadlock. At this moment, a report from a West Factory spy came outside the door.
"Mr. Yang, someone wants to see you."
Yang Dong couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
He has no acquaintances in the four states of Jiangnan, so why would someone ask to see him?
"Who is he? Did you give his name?"
"It's Jian ChuiXue who caused trouble for us in the government office a few days ago."
"He doesn't know why, but he insists on meeting you in person."
Hearing this, Yang Dong frowned again.
Kenbuki Snow? Isn't that a member of the Ming family?
Why would he take the initiative to meet with me?
After Yang Dong pondered for a moment, he nodded slightly and said:
"I know about it. Let him wait in the living room while I go to meet him."
…
In the living room,
Jian Chuixue held her long sword in her arms, looking like a lonely master.
However, the cold attitude he maintained instantly collapsed after meeting Yang Dong.
"Senior, you are finally here."
Hearing Jian Chuixue's eager voice, Yang Dong was a little confused.
"Young Master Jian came to the government office specifically to see me, but what's the matter?"
Jian ChuiXue thought for a while and said:
"I dare to ask Mr. Yang, but the investigation into the Xu family's extermination case has reached a deadlock?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
He was a little unsure as to what kind of medicine was sold in Jian Chuixue's gourd.
Jian ChuiXue continued to speak as if he was familiar with it:
"Although I am a guest of the Ming family, I am not here to act as a lobbyist for the Ming family."
"Mr. Yang has been investigating the Southern Xinjiang blood jade recently?"
Yang Dong nodded gently and looked at Jian Chuixue calmly.
"what do you want?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver."
Jian Chuixue raised her index finger, waved it in front of Yang Dong, and then continued:
"Actually... I have also been secretly investigating the Xu family's extermination case recently. Senior is not a native of Jiangnan, so he doesn't know much about many things."
"For example, what if I tell senior that the Xu family has not been wiped out?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong's eyes widened immediately.
Now that the clues have been cut off, the only way to continue the investigation is to rely on the Xichang agents to find the needle in the haystack.
However, if there is still anyone alive in the Xu family, they will have witnessed with their own eyes the source of the Xu family's misfortune.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong neatly took out a ten thousand tael silver note from his pocket and handed it to Jian Chuixue.
Seeing the lost silver, Jian Chuixue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these ten thousand taels of silver came back, otherwise this year's Jiangnan Talent Competition would not have ended well.
"Thank you for your generous donation, senior. In that case, Jian will tell you what he found out."
"In recent years, the Xu family seems to have noticed something is wrong, so they have been secretly preparing something."
When Yang Dong heard this, a look of thought appeared on his face.
Jian ChuiXue did not stop and continued to speak:
"In addition, I also found another clue about the Xu family's extermination case... That is the Xu family's extermination case, which is related to an old incident from that year."
"how do I say this?"
Yang Dong rubbed his eyebrows. He felt like he had fallen into a trap, with layers interlocking with each other.
"About seven or eight years ago, His Majesty just ascended the throne and issued an order to purge the blood jade from southern Xinjiang."
"Regarding this decree, the four major families in Jiangnan at that time were also divided into two factions. Except for the Xu family who advocated the elimination of blood jade, the other three families all opposed it."
"The four major families started a game over the blood jade issue. However, Mr. Huang finally appeared and the Xu family changed their mind."
"The Xu family also began to decline from that time on."
