This chapter is from last night
"At least during the next days of evacuating the capital, the shortage of various materials is inevitable."
"No, don't you still have the things you have saved and raised over the years..."
"Without the ghost market as an important step-by-step and cover, do you think that if a large amount of money and materials enter the capital, people will be unaware?"
"As everyone knows, without the key points and networks of the Xiao family and Yu Fan, most of the previous arrangements in the capital have been lost."
"Is it possible that you really believe that a powerful force will come to this world and come specifically to ruin our affairs?"
"Why not? Even the things that exist in Kunxu have been taken out and used by people. There is nothing strange about more strange signs."
"What's the use? We've already taken this step, do we still think we can turn back? In other words, the world has changed, and you can't just go back if you want."
"Besides, what we are doing is related to the great cause of leveraging the world; this situation has gone on for too long, and if we continue to let it go, there will really be no hope."
"Therefore, so what if there is a powerful force standing in front of us! Since we have the intention to break the current situation, we can only move forward at the risk of carrying all kinds of sins; not to mention that our arrangement is not limited to the capital city. Woolen cloth?"
"By the way, the trial in the mountain failed again. No one survived in several strongholds. We need to obtain more blood samples."
"Isn't it enough to send so many people here before? For these, I risked a lot of things and ruined a lot of my arrangements."
"Naturally, the longer the family lineage, the more intact the genealogy is, which is given priority. Those fleeing mountain people, exiles, low-class people, and slaves are really too unstable. Even if they succeed occasionally, they cannot be copied. "
"Are you kidding? This kind of thing is not so easy to obtain..."
"Then let's start with the five surnames and Qi Wang! After so many years, there must be a lot of blood flowing out."
"It is said that those 'things' from Kunxu in the west are gradually regaining their activity. We need to seize the time."
"There has been some alarm in the capital, but the results achieved are very few; next, if it is still unsatisfactory, we will have to abandon these results and start again."
At the same time, Jiang Tian used a handwritten record to send away Zhang Yu, the family officer of the Wude Department who came to visit; but he once again received a letter from the Jinwu Street envoy saying that it was that Xiao Ding, the fugitive former lord of the Xiao clan and Marquis of Yu, has been arrested in the city.
However, the criminal who was suspected to be the owner of the ghost market suddenly proposed during interrogation and torture that he wanted to meet Jiang Tian, who had a major relationship with this matter. Only then was he willing to reveal more of the subsequent inside information. Come. Therefore, it is hoped that his cooperation can be obtained.
Jiang Tian had no objection to this and immediately agreed. He also wanted to see what tricks this Lord Xiao, who had been hiding behind the scenes for a long time and was full of twisted people, could play. However, thinking of Guo Chongtao's explanation before leaving, he also informed others.
However, when Jiang Tian's carriage arrived at the familiar Youjie embassy office, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere inside and outside was a little different; those lightly dressed Jinwu disciples who were holding sentries were all surrounded by Jinwu who were wearing neck coverings and holding spears and knives. Replaced by soldiers. Therefore, it seems solemn and awe-inspiring.
Therefore, Jiang Tian waited for a while at the street entrance before meeting another subordinate officer from Zuoducha Zhou Bangyan who had handled the case together. Jiang Tian then stepped forward with him and showed the corresponding identification and letterhead; he was able to open the barrier and stop the horse to let in.
However, after walking in, Jiang Tian discovered another thing again. With the resignation, external transfer and promotion of Zheng Jinwu and others, it seems that none of the familiar faces in the Street Envoy Yamen in the past, whether it is Zhu Biejiang, Lin Jiulang, Chen Wentai, Zhang Wusheng and others, can be found.
At this time, a local official who was responsible for leading Jiang Tian, and whom he had met several times before, saw this doubt, and took the initiative to explain to him in a flattering voice:
"To be honest with the judge, because the matter is really serious, someone from Zuo Jinwu's office directly intervened and took over the subsequent case. Therefore, even Li Zhonglang of the Lingwei Mansion, who was originally in charge, had to go out to take charge of the case. Follow and run."
"It is also said that in order to prevent the case from being leaked, most of the staff inside and outside the office have been replaced; even those of us who are in charge of case inquiries have been detained in the office for many days. Never returned home."
"In addition, in addition to the Yushi Palace, there are also people from the Imperial Palace, Zongzheng Temple, General Affairs Department, Dali Temple, and Lifanyuan, who are paying serious attention to the situation here; there are even people sent from the palace, I’m just watching here and looking forward to the follow-up.”
When Jiang Tian heard this, he couldn't deny it and smiled. It seems that after the dust has settled, it is not uncommon in this era for people to jump out to pick peaches and grab credit. However, this does not have much direct relationship with Jiang Tian. All he cares about is to see if he can trigger related task progress;
Because of these experiences, Jiang Tian also discovered a certain pattern. That is to say, in the scene that triggers the character's progress, only by killing the corresponding person can the free quantum be collected; and it seems that the more involved it is with the target, the more energy is collected; just like the causal rate mentioned in Buddhism.
Then, after passing through the heavily guarded Jiangtian, he met the current Xiao Ding, the current lord of the Xiao clan, in a specially reinforced and arranged torture chamber. A thin middle-aged man with disheveled hair, pale complexion and pale face, but with strangely excited and distracted eyes.
However, there was still a faint smell of blood and ointment in the room that had obviously been tidied up and cleaned; and on the hands and feet covered by the opponent's wide prison clothes, the bloody scabs and scars left by torture could also be seen vaguely. There is no trace of the wealthy and aristocratic manner in which he once pampered himself.
It wasn't until the moment Jiang Tian came in that he suddenly raised his head and looked over with burning eyes.
"The sinner Xiao."
Immediately, a short, fat official with a round head and round head like a night owl stood nearby and said with a smile:
"We have invited the Jiang Sheng you want to see. Please tell us everything you know..."
"You are the one who ruined my many years of foundation and arrangements, are you the one?" Xiao Ding took the initiative to speak up, but his voice was hoarse, as if he had a ball of sand in his mouth. "I really can't tell that he is such a young and unusual person."
"One for two!"
As a modern person who has personally experienced an interrogation scene, Jiang Tian will naturally not be easily led by him. On the contrary, he interrupts his rhythm without hesitation:
"I can answer you one question, but you must answer me two, otherwise I will turn around and leave. The rest is up to you."
"Okay..." Xiao Ding was almost stunned for a moment before he replied slowly: "Speaking of which, did you really kill the people I sent to clean up the mess with your own strength? There were hundreds of good players. ah!"
"Of course, although it is a bit troublesome and troublesome, it only takes a little more effort to lead them out in batches according to the protection of the floors and secret passages." Jiang Tian admitted half-truth: "That's true. The swordsman in gray succeeded by sneak attack from a distance."
next moment,
"Are you talking about that little thing Yujun?" A strange expression appeared on Xiao Ding's face: "My family gave birth to her since she was a child, and we have taken the best conditions to raise her and take care of her. Isn't it just for this moment? It’s a pity that you ruined the ceremony that was supposed to be a great success.”
"Do you think that all the children under my knees are my biological children?" Xiao Ding couldn't help but laugh at himself: "My time and my wife's family are very different from that time. If it weren't for the scandal that the fat water did not go to other people's fields, it would be in the world. If I can’t hide it, how can I benefit from it anymore?”
"However, I have only heard a little bit about the Five Immortals Sect. After all, apart from being respectful to each other on the scene, my wife and I don't spend much time together on a daily basis. We usually just have our own interests and do our own thing; those few days The children are only raised in name."
"Don't you want to know who their real biological fathers are?" At this point, Xiao Ding showed a weird smile again: "I'm afraid that you are too timid to pursue the investigation any further. The inner-ming woman, the inner-ming woman, how can I It’s so easy to make…”
"The God of Five Powers? That thing is just a cover to deceive others. The Joy Luck Club, which was funded by our family more than ten years ago, used the Great Joy Method of the esoteric heretics to replace it; because some foolish men and women still believe in it. This thing won’t attract too many people’s attention.”
"Master of the Ghost Market? Haha, that's just a deliberately created gimmick and legend." Xiao Ding laughed at himself again: "And I am just a representative who was elected on the stage to take on some inconvenient matters for others. Don't you think I don’t want to ask, are they all those people?”
"Hey, they used more than a dozen kinds of medicine on me, trying to get me to talk." Then Xiao Ding's eyes became distracted again: "But who knew that in my early years, I took too many prescriptions for pleasure, and I have long been I can’t bear it anymore; they dare to do something serious, but they are afraid that I will die.”
"What ferocious beast, what kind of ghost?" Xiao Ding hissed without hesitation: "I have never seen or heard of it. I only know that there are many forbidden things hidden in the Fan Building, and some people are raising some ferocious beasts for entertainment. . Who did Yulang collude with in private, and what did he do in secret, but it was only with my permission."
Half an hour later,
"So, the root cause of all this is actually because he was implicated by those kidnappers from Sansefang?" In the end, Xiao Ding showed a ridiculous expression, and turned from muttering to laughing. Said: "This is really ridiculous. It's really ridiculous."
"However, as far as I know, there are people behind Sansefang." However, the next moment, he showed a strange and playful look and said: "It is not the key figures in Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County. Even I can’t afford to offend you, so I’m asking you if you dare to pursue it?”
"Is this another question for you?" Jiang Tian said unmoved: because there was no reminder of the mission progress in his field of vision. "Let me tell you clearly, I don't do these things for the sake of power, wealth or fame. I just do what I want when the time comes."
"How is this possible? How can there be a person like you in the world?" Xiao Ding heard this, but he felt extremely ridiculous and said in disbelief: "Just for such an unreasonable and meaningless reason, he would risk life and death. This is too ridiculous. …”
When Jiang Tian heard this, he suddenly no longer had any interest in him; because this was a scumbag hiding under the skin of wealth and grace, with a twisted soul and a scumbag who took pleasure in doing evil. Now that the basic purpose was almost achieved, he turned around and left without hesitation.
"Don't go, don't go, last question." However, Xiao Ding, who was restrained in his seat, struggled fiercely and said, "Did you know that there was a powerful supernatural power manifesting in the ghost market that day?"
"It's a pity that I was looking for evidence in the building, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes." Jiang Tian opened his eyes without hesitation and lied: "On the other hand, you are full of evil, even if there is no great power, I will find it sooner or later. Come on, let me settle my sins properly."
However, the next moment, Xiao Ding's fierce struggle still did not stop. Instead, blood suddenly began to overflow from the mouth and nose, and vomited all over the body; the energy and spirit were visibly weakened; and the short and fat official who was listening also opened the door and shouted:
"Someone, come quickly."
However, Jiang Tian suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped. Xiao Ding, who was vomiting blood and fell on the table, used one hand freed from the restraints to make two crooked characters on the blood as if smearing it randomly; then it was covered up by more blood he sprayed out. past.
