Jiang Changkong turned around and saw a burly young man walking over with a arrogant expression.
Behind him were two guards with swords.
When the clerk saw the young man, his expression suddenly changed, and he clasped his fists with a smile on his face and said, "It turns out it's Song Yanei who's here. I asked why magpies are always calling in front of the door today. Sure enough, someone noble is here."
In Song Yanei... Jiang Changkong's heart moved.
Yanei is also the son of the county magistrate.
Qinghe County Magistrate Song Chongshan has three sons, the eldest son Song Tong, the second son Song Wu, the third son Song Yi... Which one will this be?
Judging from his age, he should not be Song Tong.
Moreover, it is said that Song Tong was a scholar and his figure should not be so burly and powerful.
Then only Song Wu and Song Yi are left.
It is said that Song Wu was taken away to practice by a master of the Zhange Sect. If he had not come back, then this would probably be his younger brother Song Yi.
It is said that Song Yi studied martial arts with Guan Yulong before. Guan Yulong was not only the left deputy commander of the city defense army, but also Song Yi's instructor.
This person...should be it.
Jiang Changkong guessed in his mind.
However, Jiang Changkong never thought about having anything to do with Song Yi, the second generation ancestor of Yanei.
I just didn't expect that this guy would compete with him for strengthening pills.
If it's something else that doesn't matter, just give it up.
But the Strengthening Pill is related to his cultivation speed, so he can't let it go.
"Man, wrap these five strengthening pills for me."
Jiang Changkong said.
As for what kind of yamen this guy is, he doesn't care at all.
Besides, he is in disguise now and still cares about this guy. Even if he beats him up, no one can find him.
Of course, if this guy doesn't mess with him, he won't beat him up for no reason... although this guy's arrogant look that doesn't deserve a beating is very uncomfortable.
"This guest, Song Yanei wants these five strengthening pills. Look..."
The clerk said a little embarrassed.
Jiang Changkong glanced at him and said indifferently: "First come, first served, whoever pays first will trade with whoever pays first. These are the minimum trading rules. Don't you Wanxiang Tower not want to abide by them?"
With that said, he threw the one thousand five hundred taels of silver notes on the counter.
The price of one strengthening pill is three hundred taels of silver, and five strengthening pills is one thousand five hundred taels.
When the clerk saw Jiang Changkong paying directly, his expression turned ugly.
It's not that he doesn't want to sell to Jiang Changkong, but Song Yi is eyeing this place. If he sells to Jiang Changkong, he will definitely be targeted by Song Yi.
Wanxiang Building is large and has a strong background, but after all, it is located on a third of an acre of land in Qinghe County.
Of course the boss is not afraid, but he is just a low-level clerk. If Song Yi targets him, life will be difficult in the future.
However, Jiang Changkong's words made him unable to refute.
No matter how big a store is, it must abide by transaction rules. This is the lifeline of business and no one dares to violate it.
This is especially true for large chain stores like Wanxianglou.
It can be said that if he rejects Jiang Changkong and Jiang Changkong informs his supervisor of the matter, he will be fired by his supervisor the next moment and asked to pack up and leave.
After weighing the pros and cons, the clerk naturally knows how to choose.
Then he said with some embarrassment: "Whatever the guest said, of course we... will not break the transaction rules."
As he spoke, he immediately took out the five strengthening pills from the counter, quickly put them into a bag and stuffed them into Jiang Changkong's hand.
"Guest, please put it away."
He was afraid that if he went too slow, Song Yi would snatch it away from him, and he would be the loser in the end.
So he put the elixir into Jiang Changkong's hands as quickly as possible.
As for whether Jiang Changkong would be robbed, that was none of his business.
Even for this step, I didn't even have time to collect the banknotes on the counter.
After stuffing the elixir into Jiang Changkong's hand, he grabbed the banknotes on the counter.
At this time, Song Yi also came to his senses and couldn't help being furious.
"You brave bitch, you dare to give something that I like to others. Are you tired of living?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "You two, bring me my strengthening pill."
The two guards immediately strode forward and arrived in front of Jiang Changkong. One of them drew his sword, and the other reached out to grab the bottle of strengthening elixir in Jiang Changkong's hand.
Jiang Chang waved his empty hand.
The sword intention turned into two sword rays and struck the two people's faces instantly.
Bang bang!
The two of them immediately flew out, their faces smashed and bloody.
The two guards were shocked, knowing that they had encountered a difficult situation.
Song Yi was also severely surprised.
What a speed!
But he is not afraid, because this is Qinghe County, the territory of his father and his Song family.
In this three-thirds of an acre of land, no one can disobey!
Although the Wanxiang Tower is powerful, it still has to follow the rules of the county master in Qinghe County!
Song Yi stared at Jiang Changkong and sneered: "Hmph, do you know what you are doing? For the sake of temporary motivation, you may be thrown into jail. If you are sensible, keep the elixir and I will not embarrass you." "
Knowing that Jiang Changkong was very strong, he didn't really want to be ruthless. If he could win through words, that would be the best.
"The elixir is mine, why should I keep it?" Jiang Changkong said.
Song Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light burst out from his eyes, "You mean, you must be my enemy?"
"Why should I be your enemy?..."
Jiang Changkong smiled.
After hearing this, Song Yi's face softened a bit. It was obvious that this guy still knew what was going on.
But Jiang Changkong's next words made him furious.
"……Who do you think you are."
What is it? ! ! !
Song Yi's eyes bulged out of anger.
Who in Qinghe County dares to say this to him?
Even the commander-in-chief of the city defense army would not dare to talk to him like this!
The power of his Song family is not just as simple as his father being the magistrate of Qinghe County.
The eldest brother Song Tongnai was a student of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty, and the second brother Song Wunai was a disciple of the elder of the Zhange Sect. Even if he was not counted as a bastard, with these connections, ordinary people were not someone he could easily mess with.
How dare this person say to him, 'Who do you think you are?' It’s so impatient to live!
"Come here, gather the troops to arrest this man and put him in jail!"
Song Yi shouted loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
The two guards whose faces were beaten quickly stood up. Their eyes were sinister, and they looked at Jiang Changkong as if they were looking at a dead person.
One of them ran out immediately.
Jiang Changkong didn't stop him either.
Here, the elixir he wanted to buy has been completed.
Thirty body strengthening pills and thirty true essence pills cost him twelve thousand taels of silver.
Including the five strengthening pills and 1,500 taels, a total of 13,500 taels were spent at Wanxiang Tower, basically spending all the existing banknotes.
Only gold worth about five or six thousand taels of silver was left hidden in the residence.
Hold the elixir in your arms.
Just raise your hand and wave.
Two sword intent flew out instantly, and one sword intent turned into a sword light and hit the other side of the face of the guard who had not left.
Snapped!
The guard flew out again and fell to the ground. The half of his face that was not broken was also beaten and bleeding.
And another sword intention turned into a sword light and struck Song Yi's face.
Song Yi was whipped away like the guards.
The cultivation level of the fourth-level martial artist seems to be very high, but in the eyes of Jiang Changkong, a sixth-level martial artist, he is no different from an ant and can be killed with just a raise of his hand.
Jiang Changkong gave Song Yi slightly more power. Who made this guy so arrogant?
If he wasn't afraid of trouble, he would have killed these people casually.
Song Yi flew more than ten meters and fell hard to the ground. Half of his face was as rotten as the guard, and blood was flowing.
The guard who was beaten again was horrified and looked at Jiang Changkong with fear in his eyes.
Even Song Yanei dared to fight! This guy is definitely a ruthless person!
Song Yi was shocked and frightened. He never expected that Jiang Changkong would dare to attack him.
This was the first time in his life that he was beaten, and his face was badly beaten.
Song Yi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If looks could kill, Jiang Changkong would definitely die ten thousand times.
But he didn't dare to speak again at this time.
He is arrogant and domineering, but he is not stupid.
If you really offend this person and kill him directly, it's not worth it.
Jiang Changkong walked up to Song Yi and said condescendingly: "If I want to kill you, it will be easy. Don't think that you are a nobody."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But at this moment, a slim and beautiful woman appeared at the door of the hall.
Song Yi, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, suddenly lit up.
Beauty! ! !
His face was immediately full of surprise, and he looked up and down, his eyes full of lust.
But he forgot that his face was smashed by Jiang Changkong's sword. Because he was so surprised, it was extremely painful and he twitched when he pulled his face.
Jiang Changkong, who was about to leave, immediately noticed this.
Something moved in my heart.
Even though his face was smashed, he was able to be attracted to a woman in the first place under such circumstances, which shows how lustful this guy is.
He suddenly thought about Taohua being stunned and raped. When he woke up, he found that he was in a wealthy family.
I wonder...could it be related to this guy?
Jiang Changkong's eyes flashed and he pondered in his heart.
But then he denied it, after all, it seemed a bit too coincidental.
Just because this guy is lustful doesn't mean that he is related to Taohua's death.
Thinking of this, Jiang Changkong immediately walked away and disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.
When Jiang Changkong disappeared, Song Yi recovered from the woman's body, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up, and his anger exploded again.
"Made, where is the person?"
Song Yi kicked away the guard who had just gotten up from the ground, "Find him quickly, I'm going to skin him!"
The guard scolded Song Yi countless times in his heart: "You bitch, you were whipped just now, so why don't you look so majestic? Now that I'm gone, you're so damn good!"
"I am loyal to your Song family, but you are such a bastard that you treat me like a dog..."
"What a fool, go back to Yixiangyuan to play with the men's and women's packages and see if I can still stand guard for you!"
But no matter how dissatisfied I am, I can only curse in my heart, but I don't dare to show it on my face.
Song Yi is not only lustful, but also a ruthless person.
This guy was really pissed off. He really dared to kill people. If guards like them who were kept captive by the Song family were really killed by him, it would be in vain.
The guards quickly ran out, trying to find Jiang Changkong.
But where can I find it at this time?
At this time, Jiang Changkong had changed his clothes, taken off his mask, and replaced his own face.
Soon he returned to the Demon Suppression Division.
The first thing I did when I returned to the Demon Suppression Division was to swallow the body strengthening pill and then start practicing.
Cultivation of the physical body, cultivation of true energy, and sword skills as well.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
To Jiang Changkong's surprise, Zhao Long and Wang Dazhuang broke through at the same time and became the third level of martial arts.
The two guys held their heads in excitement and cried bitterly.
Then he immediately came to Jiang Changkong's place to express his gratitude to Jiang Changkong.
Jiang Changkong was also overjoyed when the two broke through.
The strength of the third-level martial arts is very weak for him now, but it is of great use.
First of all, they can be recommended to become Black Guards and enjoy the salary of the Demon Suppression Division, without him having to pay for their support.
Furthermore, with a position, he can better exercise his authority and act more conveniently in Dongcheng.
"Very good, I will recommend it to Mr. Wei later."
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhao Long and Wang were overjoyed and quickly thanked them.
Zhang Hu said at this time: "By the way, sir, we have investigated some information in the past two days, which is about the peach blossom case, and we just want to report to you."
It has something to do with peach blossoms... Jiang Changkong suddenly brightened up: "Tell me."
"Sir, do you still remember the head we fished out of the water in Nanping Town?"
Zhang Hu said.
Jiang Changkong nodded, "I remember. Wang Dazhuang fished it out of the water, but he disappeared later."
Zhang Hu said: "She appears again."
Jiang Changkong was startled, "Appeared? In Qinghe County?"
Zhang Hu nodded, "Yes, it is in Qinghe County, but it is still in the water. Just this morning, we saw this head again in the Wenxiang River on East Street."
Jiang Changkong's eyes narrowed, "Are you sure it's that head?"
Zhang Hu nodded, "sure. Because the mark on her ear is exactly the same as the mark on the ear of the human head we fished out in Nanping Town before."
"Oh?" Jiang Changkong asked, "Where is the head?"
"It sank. We didn't go down to fish it out, but I felt like she was down there and didn't leave."
Zhang Hu said.
"At that time, I was wondering if it had something to do with Peach Blossom, or even whether the head was Peach Blossom. The reason why she was running around was because she was looking for her body."
"So I went around to inquire about some information, and I actually found out something."
"A month ago, someone saw people from the Blood Ax Gang dumping corpses at night, and the heads and bodies were thrown separately. It is said that this kind of thing is very common for people from the Blood Ax Gang, so people seen at night also I didn’t think it was anything, so I spent a few taels of silver and took out what he said.”
"Based on the comparison of time, it matches the time of Tao Hua's death. I think the possibility of that body being that of Tao Hua is very high."
"It's just that it's still unclear where her body is and it can't be confirmed. We still need to find ways to find it."
"In addition, I also inquired that many women have come to Yixiang Courtyard in recent days. It seems that they were brought back from outside by the Blood Ax Gang in recent days."
Jiang Changkong stared at Zhang Hu, "Is there more?"
"That's all for now." Zhang Hu said.
Jiang Changkong nodded, "Well, this matter needs to be investigated, and it must be pursued urgently. Don't slack off at all. It doesn't matter if you spend some money. Report as soon as you have any news."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Hu cupped his fists and said.
