"It's so shameless for a fugitive prison officer to want to see my official." Linghu Xiaomu sneered with a frosty face: "Why are all the officials in Yangzhou Prefecture so confident? Or are they? Are they all this guy’s potential accomplices, and why are you going all out to expose him?”
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. This is just a suggestion, just to reduce the damage caused by futile efforts." Chang Shi from Yangzhou Prefecture, a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard, said with a rather sarcastic smile: " After all, this officer is in charge of the waterway east of the Yangtze River and is deeply involved."
"If I can be acquitted for this, wouldn't it be possible to further involve the many connections behind this official, so as to set the record straight and calm people's hearts? At least the governor asked me to pass on the message that Yangzhou Prefecture has nothing to do with this matter, and it will never do so. We will let go of any criminals involved in the case."
"We have already reached this point. There is no point in talking more. The only way is to see the truth." Linghu Xiaomu's eyes flickered, thinking that this obviously involves a local struggle for power? But he shook his head and said: "If you are afraid of casualties, it doesn't matter; just surround the water stronghold and leave the rest to our troops."
"..." The chief historian couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and wanted to continue saying something; when he heard a burst of noise suddenly coming from the periphery of the Gaoyou Lake Water Camp. Immediately afterwards, a standard inspection vehicle and vessel unloaded anchor and left the shore at some unknown time, and broke through the blockade on the water.
Looking at the water wheel on the vast lake, the cars and boats were flying slowly away, and they were easily shaken off by all the other boats that were rowing hard to catch up. Chang Shi's face suddenly became ugly. However, Linghu Xiaomu smiled: "It seems there is no need to worry, the officer has taken action."
Before she finished speaking, a white line cutting through the waves instantly passed across the vast water surface; just a few breaths later, it hit the car and boat that was escaping in the distance, and was lifted up in the air in an instant. It broke into two parts in the air, and then splashed heavily on the water.
Also falling with it were human bodies that looked like ants, or bloody limbs that had been cut off by ships. When Yang Changshi saw this scene, he also took a breath of air-conditioning in shock; he suddenly remembered the other title of "Censoring Monsters" of this "Censor of the River Patrol".
A moment later, Jiang Tian carried a wet human body, flew through the air and dropped it on the ground. However, the Yang governor just took one look at it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is not Ma Jin, the military patrol envoy, but his close confidant, Feng Ruhai, the military inspector."
"...Immediately summon the surrounding troops to investigate the ships blocked on the water. I'm afraid there are some internal thieves among them who will take the opportunity to respond." Jiang Gao's eyes moved when he heard this, and he immediately ordered: At the same time, he leaped away again, It landed on an official ship that was chasing on the water.
He just glanced at the uncovered inner cabin and used it as a springboard to leap into the sky again. After continuously exploring and scanning more than a dozen official ships, he also heard the golden sound from the shore summoning him to return. At this time, the difference became apparent. Only one black flat boat continued to move forward.
As if he didn't hear Ming Jin's urging from the shore, he drove into the waterway hidden by a patch of dense grass. However, the ship's seemingly secretive actions were basically visible to Jiang Tian, who was overlooking it from a high position; but he was in no hurry to alarm the other party.
He just sent a message to Linghu Xiaomu who was staying on the shore with his heart. After a few secret messages, he quietly flashed into the void and followed him and disappeared into the grass. After about a few more moments, the winding and hidden waterway in the reeds finally reached its end, a piece of relatively dry ground.
"Looking at our past connections and friendships, we have no choice but to send you here at all risks. The next step will depend on your own destiny." There was a faint voice on the ship: "Next, Brothers can no longer stay in the same place and must go their separate ways."
"Thank you for your help, brothers from the boat club. I will definitely repay you twice as much in the future." A strong figure dressed as a local fisherman jumped off the boat. At the same time, he whispered a few words of thanks and then disappeared into the depths of the grass. The next moment, the country soldiers on the boat fell down one after another with a muffled sound.
Then, the ship's rope, controlled by Jiang Tian's mind, was wrapped around his hands and feet and tied into a string. During this short process, another person was awakened and opened his mouth to exchange warnings; his jaw was detached in an instant. Then Jiang Tian caught up, only to find that he was already on the road.
The fugitive suspected to be Ma Jin had already walked a long way and got mixed up with the people and business travelers coming and going. However, he followed him through twists and turns and arrived at a deserted old house near a town. Here, Jiang Tian watched him dig out a box from under the tree.
Then, a number of treasures and jewelry were taken out, as well as silk clothing and pieces of paper that seemed to be personal belongings. Therefore, when he climbed over the wall and walked out of the house again, his appearance had changed, becoming a small businessman with a thin beard, a bloated waist, and a tacky appearance.
However, Jiang Tian had more doubts in his mind, because in addition to his official status, the other party also had a considerable degree of cross-dressing and counter-reconnaissance means. At this time, he also received a reply in his mind again. Linghu Xiaomu had already led people to find the mark he left.
And successfully captured several moles in the local gang. At the same time, Ma Jin, who had changed his appearance, slowly walked into Gaoyou City under Jiang Tian's attention. Using his new identity, he rented a pack horse from the mule and horse shop beside the city gate, and then drove through the city non-stop. And passed.
More than half an hour later, Linghu Xiaomu reported again in her mind that the search fleet she led had gone north along the Gaoyou Lake waterway and arrived at the Baimatang Pier more than ten miles away; and had begun to disembark, preparing to take a detour. There was an interception from the front, but Ma Jin suddenly stopped.
Then he dismounted and abandoned his sweaty mount. At the same time, he took off his vulgar silk robe, revealing a dusty cloth shirt. He then took off the wrap that was wrapped around his waist to act as a belly, and put it on his shoulders. He suddenly became a peddler.
After whipping the hired mount, he ran away along the road. Ma Jin, who was dressed as a trafficker, left the road without hesitation and walked towards the path between two half-dead oak trees, covered by the shadow of the dense vegetation. Then Jiang Tian also flashed on a tree.
But behind the bushes, there was a tea garden spread among several hills. It’s just that most of this tea garden seems to be abandoned; therefore, all kinds of neglected tea trees, along with the wildly growing weeds, grow in all sorts of weird and crooked ways...
After calling the team led by Linghu Xiaomu again, Jiang Tian also passed through these deserted tea hills; he once again saw a winding path and a half-new but not old building at the end of the path. 's temple. This temple is not big, with only two courtyards and three bays.
The outer walls were in disrepair and were cracked, and the courtyard was full of weeds and fallen leaves, as if no one had been there for a long time. However, the moment Ma Jin, dressed in commoner clothes, appeared, suddenly from behind the moss-mottled temple with white beams, several fire workers in brown clothes with short hips appeared.
After meeting him, he quickly welcomed him into it. Some people quickly walked out of the yard and followed the uphill path to carefully check and clean up the traces left by the visitors. He even crossed the foot of Jiang Tian, walked outside the tea mountain and then turned back.
At this time, Jiang Tian also summoned the armored man again, and through its gray vision, shadows flashed continuously; finally, he quietly jumped into the courtyard, and then jumped onto the roof of the main room of the temple. . However, when it looked down through the gap in the broken tile roof;
However, they found that the white highlights or human-shaped halo that represented the characteristics of a living body had disappeared; only the dusty altar table, the incense table and the cobweb-covered shrine were covered with smoke-stained statues of gods. However, Jiang Tian had sufficient experience and psychological preparation for this situation.
He just controlled the armored person and circled the shrine and the central pillar behind it twice; he found obvious traces of being moved. Then he reached into the wooden floor, pressed and pushed lightly, and a large piece disappeared out of thin air, revealing a cave entrance with faint human voices and hot wind.
The next moment, in Ren A's field of vision, Jiang Tian once again saw an underground cavity, as well as distant and near bright spots running between several aisles in different directions. Obviously this was a secret underground stronghold with an ulterior purpose; then he heard the roar of something suspiciously like a beast.
In an instant, Jiang Tian, who was outside, could not help but be surprised; because the armor he controlled saw rows of cells, as well as various beasts, ghosts and aliens of different shapes behind the prison bars; but most of them were dying and half dead; There were still broken limbs scattered on the stone platform and on the ground.
He never expected that the pursuit of a suspect related to the twelve celestial beings would actually involve a secret research site for aliens. He suddenly increased his speed and flew into the temple. However, the moment he landed in the courtyard, he didn't know what happened.
The unknown people in the underground cave were instantly alerted, and they shouted in low voices, wielding various weapons, and whizzed past the armored man who was clinging to the ceiling without noticing. Then he rushed out of the ground inside the temple, shouting in a low voice and started searching and exploring.
At the same time, Jiang Tian controlled Man A, and after several times of blurring against the roof of the cave, he also came to the corridor deep in the underground space; he saw Ma Jin, who had fled all the way, sitting upright. From his position, he was like the master of the room, giving orders to the rest of the people.
Under his instructions, some bottles and jars with expressions on them and books and account books, as well as some miscellaneous gold and silver jewelry, and even some exquisite clothes and dresses, were being gathered in front of him;
