"That's right!"
Song Xian told the other party about the attack on him, and then focused on the unknown fingering stone.
"Didn't you say in your previous message that people in the Wu family fainted and fell to the ground when their bodies hurt for no reason? I suspect that their acupoints were hit by stones!"
"Huh? Lord Captain is wise!"
The guard said with praise.
"Stop flattering me!"
Song Xian glanced at him.
"I suspect that this person is not a big thief passing through here at all, but a local living in Jiangning City!"
"A local from Jiangning City? But didn't the investigation results from the government say that this matter was done by Jiangyang thieves who are roaming around?"
"Hmph! Those losers! What can they find out?"
Song Xian snorted coldly.
"If what I have predicted is correct, these guys must be pushing for those criminal thieves just to avoid being implicated!"
"These damn guys! We wasted so much time!"
"Okay! From now on, you change direction and you turn out to be a native of Jiangning City. Then go find out who has enmity with the Wu family recently!"
"Who has made enemies with the Wu family recently? Well, as far as I know, there are quite a few people from the Wu family who have made enemies, but if it's the latest one, it should be the Su family, right?"
"Su family?"
Song Xian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is it the Su family who recently opened a Su-style cloth shop and made some kind of muyunsha, causing the whole city to be in chaos?"
"That's right! It's the Su family!"
The guard nodded and then continued.
"As far as I know, just the day before Wu Chenghou was killed, Wu Qihao ran to the Su family's wedding and made a fuss, hoping to make the Su family lose face in front of the city's powerful people. Unexpectedly, he was The Su family's adopted son-in-law found out and ended up in jail! I heard that Wu Chenghou went to the Su family the next day and asked the adopted son-in-law to withdraw the case, but it seemed that because of some reason The reason is that the two parties have not reached an agreement.”
"oh?"
A strange color flashed in Song Xian's eyes.
"According to what you said, the Su family seems to be very suspicious!"
"This seems to be very suspicious, but the Su family doesn't seem to have the ability to do such a thing..."
"that's not important!"
Song Xian waved his hand.
"You go and collect relevant evidence for me now. I will use it in three days! Do you understand?"
"...I understand."
"Get down!"
Song Xian waved his hand and let people go down.
The Su family doesn't have such ability?
What he wants is that the other party does not have such ability!
If the Su family really had such ability and had such strong support behind them, he might not dare to take action.
That's fine now!
"If you use it well, you can not only successfully complete the above tasks, but also make a lot of money out of the Su family!"
Song Xian's eyes flashed with greed.
The Su family and the Wu family are both one of the major families in Jiangning City. They must have a lot of money, right?
correct!
And that beauty Yuan Jin'er, we can't forget this!
Complete the task, make a lot of money, and play with women at the same time. This is killing three birds with one stone!
Thinking of such a good thing, Song Xian suddenly felt that the injury on his shoulder no longer hurt so much.
Plop!
There was a slight sound of falling to the ground.
"who?"
Song Xian immediately took his sword in his hand.
"The person who wants your life!"
A sword light flew from outside the tent and pierced Song Xian.
Song Xian tried his best to resist, but he couldn't hold on for even one round and was knocked to the ground, vomiting blood and looking horrified.
"Innate Warrior!"
"Don't kill me! I'm from Zhennan Palace!"
The sword light stopped in front of Song Xian.
Xu Yi was revealed, wearing black clothes and covering his face, with only one pair of eyes remaining.
"Zhennan Prince's Mansion? Are you from Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
"That's right! I am from Zhennan Palace! If you kill me, Zhennan Palace will never let you go!"
Seeing that Zhennan Prince's name was valid, Song Xian quickly spoke more.
Xu Yi's eyes flickered and he asked.
"The Zhennan Palace you are talking about is the Nanwang Palace where the Prince of Zhennan worshiped Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, as his disciple?"
"Yes, yes! It's that Zhennan Palace! If you kill me, not only Zhennan Palace will not let you go, but even Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng will not let you go!"
Song Xian shouted loudly.
In fact, Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng knew who he was?
For a little guy like him, who is not even qualified to be remembered, how could he let the Lord of Baiyun City avenge him!
But in order to save his life, he could only say this at this time.
Xu Yi could easily see this, but he didn't have any thoughts to pay attention to it at the moment. His mind was completely attracted by another thing.
"This Song Xian is actually related to Zhennan Prince's Mansion? Could it be that there are some secrets behind Jiangning City that I don't know about?"
He originally thought that Song Xian was just an ordinary captain, nothing special, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually involved in Zhennan Prince's Mansion!
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, or to be precise, after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family members of the Ming Dynasty were basically raised as 'pigs', with no ability or influence at all.
At least on the surface, there are only two royal family members in the Ming Dynasty who can be called powerful.
One is the Eighth Prince, who is known as the wise king of the contemporary era. Due to his extensive good relationships, he has good relations with many ministers and even major forces in the world, and he is known as a wise voice among the people. Therefore, although he does not appear to be No matter what position he holds, he has an astonishing network of contacts, and the power he can mobilize secretly is immeasurable to ordinary people.
The other one is the Iron Dan God Marquis Zhu Wuwu. If the Eighth Prince relies on his wisdom to connect the superiors and subordinates and controls the power in the sky, then the Iron Dan God Marquis Zhu Wuwu uses his own strength.
In fact, Zhu Wuli was not a direct relative of the current royal family, he was from a collateral lineage.
Although the current emperor still calls him uncle in terms of seniority, the relationship between the two is actually a bit far apart.
In an ordinary family, the gap between the direct line and the collateral line is quite huge, let alone the Zhu family, which has thousands of royal members after many generations.
In such a huge family, you can imagine how difficult it is for the collateral children to stand out.
Zhu Wuwu relied on his own strength to break through and became the most powerful person in the contemporary royal family.
With this strength, he gained the attention of the late emperor, who allowed him to found the Dragon Protector Villa. He held the iron certificate of alchemy and the sword of Shang Fang, and had the power to inspect all the officials of the court and collect information about the powerful people in the court. This was how he finally rose to prominence.
Don't underestimate this power. Zhu Wuli was able to almost succeed in his rebellion in the end because he had the handle on the top ten generals at the border and used it as a threat to almost ascend the throne as emperor.
One is the Eighth Prince and the other is Zhu Wuli.
These are the two truly powerful royal family members so far.
The remaining royal family, even if they are princes in name, actually do not have any strong power. At most, they have a good-looking name and live a wealthy life, that's all.
King Zhennan of Zhennan Palace is such a prince.
Although he has the word "Zhennan" on his head, he actually has no achievements in suppressing the rebellion in the south. The reason why he is called the King of Zhennan is just because his ancestors were called this, and then he inherited it. It's down, that's all.
Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, he, the King of Zhennan, is just a prince in name, but his actual power is not as good as that of a county guard.
But Xu Yi knew it wasn't.
At least this is not the Zhennan Palace where the prince of Zhennan was taken in as an apprentice by Ye Gucheng!
"In the plot of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng: Before and After the Decisive Battle", the crown prince of Zhennan Palace almost ascended to the throne of emperor with the support of Ye Gucheng!"
Saying this may not reflect the power of Zhennan Palace.
Let's put it this way, in the original plot, even the eunuch who was closest to the emperor was bribed by people from Zhennan Palace!
Even the eunuch who was closest to the emperor was secretly bribed. One can imagine how much power this Zhennan Palace, which has no power in the eyes of outsiders, hid behind the scenes.
Now Xu Yi met a person from Zhennan Palace in Jiangning City, which was several provinces away from the jurisdiction of Zhennan Palace.
Is this how far the power of Zhennan Palace has developed?
Or is it that the Zhennan Palace has some conspiracy here?
"You said you are from Zhennan Palace, but why should I believe you?"
As thoughts swirled in his mind, Xu Yi asked directly.
"this······"
Song Xian looked hesitant.
"If you can't explain it, then go die!"
"It can be explained! It can be explained! I have a letter from Zhennan Palace!"
"Show me the letter!"
"this······"
"Take it or die!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll take it!"
Under the threat of his life, Song Xian could only compromise. He walked carefully to a wooden box and opened it.
Inside the box, there are several small boxes made of metal, which are obviously used to store valuables.
Song Xian turned his back to Xu Yi, his eyes flickered slightly, and he stretched his hand towards one of the metal boxes...
Poof! !
The sword flashed.
Song Xian screamed, and one of his arms was completely broken off and fell to the ground, with blood staining the ground red.
Xu Yi's faint voice sounded.
"This is the first time. Next time, it will be your head that falls to the ground."
Playing tricks in front of him?
This is not enough lesson!
"Hurry up and take out the letter! I'll count to three, if you don't see anything..."
"I'll get it right away! I'll get it right now!"
Song Xian looked panic-stricken, resisting the pain in his arm, and opened one of the metal boxes as fast as he could in his life, and then handed the letter inside to Xu Yi.
There were no problems in the whole process, which showed that he was completely frightened by Xu Yi.
He has seen powerful people, but he has not seen many sincere people who immediately kill him if he notices something wrong!
Xu Yi glanced at the letter, and after using LV·5's medical skills to confirm that there was nothing messy on it, he took the letter.
Then he quickly read through all the letters.
With the ability of the Memory Palace, he naturally recorded all this information and found the key to the problem in an instant.
"Kampot?"
"The Prince of Zhennan asked you to cooperate in selecting a cloth shop that supplies cloth to the imperial court?"
Xu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. It was nothing to just look at this information. Every year, the imperial court would select one or even several cloth shops to provide tribute cloth for the use of the nobles in the palace.
Although the Zhennan Palace has intervened in this matter, it doesn't seem to be a big problem just by choosing a cloth shop.
But if you think of the plot of "Before and After the Decisive Battle"...then the problem is huge!
"Yes, yes, this is what Zhennan Palace asked me to do. I really work for Zhennan Palace!"
Song Xian shouted with a cry in his voice.
He was really afraid that the man in front of him would kill him if he disagreed!
"Why do the people from Zhennan Palace do this?"
"I-I really don't know this! I'm just following orders!"
Xu Yi frowned. Although he knew that there was a high probability that the other party would know some information, he still felt a little dissatisfied when he heard this.
"What about the cloth shop you chose? Which cloth shop is it?"
"I chose Wushi cloth before, but half a month ago, the Wu family father and son were killed, so..."
"Which company is the new cloth shop?"
"Because this is tribute to the royal family after all, and it must have certain screening conditions. With the Wushi cloth shop gone, there are only a few cloth shops that Jiangning City can choose from... ah! "
Xu Yi cut his thigh open with a sword, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
"Just say it's that cloth shop! If you dare to delay me any longer, I'll cut off your fifth limb!"
Fifth limb?
Song Xian, who was still covering his thigh just now, quickly covered his vitals, and then spoke immediately.
"It's a Soviet-style cloth! My new choice of cloth is a Soviet-style cloth! Because their recent Muyun yarn is very outstanding and has won the love of the public, so I chose the Soviet-style cloth!"
"really!"
Xu Yi's face darkened.
He knew that once Wushi Cloth Shop disappeared, there would be few choices left, and Su Style Cloth Shop had been so provocative recently. Who would he choose if he didn't choose it?
"Has this choice been finalized?"
"Not yet, but I have communicated with the people above and they are quite satisfied with this choice. As long as I go to Su's house in a few days, it will basically be confirmed."
Xu Yi's expression became darker and darker.
Although it is not the worst case scenario, this situation is no different from the worst case scenario.
"This hero, I have told you all the news I know. Look, is it..."
Song Xian glanced at Xu Yi cautiously, his eyes flickering slightly. He could roughly guess Xu Yi's identity.
'Someone related to the Su family, right? '
'Just wait for me! wait for me······'
"Well!!"
Song Xian covered his neck and fell to the ground unwillingly.
