Shen Hao's original plan was to complete the breakthrough from the first level to the second level of the Yuan Dan Realm as soon as possible after returning, but this piece of information from Black Water directly disrupted his plan, and he could only stabilize things first and then take care of his cultivation.
As before, Shen Hao would get up early in the morning and practice swordsmanship and swordsmanship in the backyard. As for swords, Shen Hao would set up a covering circle during homework in the evening and practice again.
When it gets daylight, Hongsi and Jinxiu wait for Shen Hao to wash up and have breakfast. As for Natsu-nu... she's really exhausted. She probably won't be able to get up before noon.
After putting on a new black robe and getting dressed neatly, I arrived at the long-lost public house. As soon as I sat down, the concierge Lao Liu came over and asked Mr. Wang Qi to see him.
"Let him come in." Shen Hao secretly said that Wang Jian came at the right time, and he happened to have something to talk to Wang Jian.
After not seeing Wang Jian for more than half a year, Wang Jian has obviously changed, that is, he has gained weight. The whole person has gained weight, and is much better than the skinny monkey before. And his aura is obviously much stronger than before. It seems that this guy has made some progress in his cultivation in the past half year.
"Congratulations, sir, for your great improvement!" Wang Jian looked excited. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on one knee and gave a big gift and raised his voice to congratulate. He had much better information than Wang Yiming and others. He knew before that Shen Hao had officially entered the Yuan Dan realm, so now that they had met, he naturally had to add some words of congratulations.
"Sit down, sit down." Shen Hao nodded and accepted Wang Jian's salute, then pointed to the chair opposite and asked him to sit down.
The concierge brought Wang Jian tea, then closed the door and left.
"Have your people drawn any conclusions about the intelligence from the City of Wasted Death?" Shen Hao asked directly without any pleasantries. He wanted to hear the analysis of the first-hand intelligence from Blackwater Division 4 on the City of Wasted Death.
"Let me tell you, the four departments are not sure. The main reason is that there is too little information about Jin Wang Yang Wenguang and Wushou City to form an effective analysis. However, there are some speculations about Yueying Tower."
"explain."
"Yueying Tower used his musical instrument master in the imperial city to deceive others, Fu Ji. Based on this person's trajectory, the Four Departments believe that Ling Wang Shu is probably the man behind the secret support of Yueying Tower, and the timeline is also consistent. However, King Ling showed no sign or possibility of colluding with the evil monks, and at the same time, he did not have the conditions to partner with Jin Wang Yang Wenguang.
Therefore, there is a high possibility that Yueying Tower made bets on both sides, and they must have been in contact with Jin Wang Yang Wenguang without telling King Ling. "
Yueyinglou's butt is not straight. Shen Hao also thinks so, which is not surprising.
"Also, Miss Lianxiang probably knows nothing about the affairs of the upper echelon of Yueying Tower. Last time, she even asked my subordinates about your return date."
Lianxiang...thinking of that seductive temptress Shen Hao, the anger he had let out yesterday seemed to be resurfacing.
"There is no need to worry about the city of Wanshi. At present, the main focus is on the initial layout, supplemented by the acquisition of intelligence. The intelligence related to Jin Wang Yang Wenguang and Yueying Tower will be given priority. The rest can be completed and returned to the archives. The people of the fourth department will have to spend more I want to perfect this aspect as soon as possible.
But remember, Heishui's identity cannot be leaked. Everything must be based on this bottom line. Do you understand? "
"My subordinate understands."
After a pause, Shen Hao continued: "In the past few days, you can sort out the information on the Black Flag Camp in Lianfeng City and Guangshun City and send it to me. The more detailed the better."
"Lianfeng City and Guangshun City? All the news about Black Flag Camp?"
"Well, we need it overtly and covertly. You can summarize as much information as you can get. You don't need to hand this over to the fourth department for analysis. Just sort it out and give it to me."
Although Wang Jian didn't know why his lord was suddenly interested in the other two big cities on the border of Jingxi, he agreed: "Okay, sir, Heishui now has many spies in Lianfeng City and Guangshun City." Well, thanks to that guy Feilong, he helped us a lot."
Wang Jian's mention of Feilong brought a smile to Shen Hao's face. He hadn't seen that bald man with a sinister face for a long time.
"How's Feilong doing lately? How come he's helping you, Blackwater?"
Seeing that his master was smiling easily, Wang Jian also smiled and said: "Sir, you don't know something. Feilong is now the number one figure in Jingxi. But everyone with black and gray colors knows him. Name. 90% of the black market business in the entire Jingxi area is through his hands, and 70% of the black market business is secretly organized by him. It is not enough to describe how much money he makes every day.
Seeing that he was developing so well, we asked him to help and send some people out. We now have manpower in major businesses, carriage houses, government offices, and garrisons, and the efficiency of information acquisition is much higher than before.
The last time I saw him, he was so shameless that he asked me to help him ask for credit!
By the way, Feilong has been working on a kind of array recently. I heard that it can make the house warm in winter and cool in summer. They have already produced several samples, saying that they are going to take a high-end route and specialize in making money from the rich. "
Shen Hao smiled even more happily when he heard this. The black market has now begun to recover, which is an inevitable result after the crackdown of the Jingjiu Dynasty weakened. Especially with the recent shortage of money and food, all kinds of materials are in short supply. On the surface, they are not allowed to sell, but behind the scenes, the supply exceeds the demand. As the largest black market leader in Jingxi, Feilong is now naturally worth more and more.
But the main reason why Shen Hao was smiling was because Wang Jian said that the dish that could keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer was the thing that he ordered Feilong to pour, the air conditioner.
Shen Hao even gave the world's air conditioner a resounding name in a playful way: Gemei.
"Haha, warm in winter and cool in summer? Ask him to send me a few. I am considered a rich man and can help him try the effect."
"My lord, if you want to try it, you can see Feilong. I will send news to Feilong when I go back later."
Compared to Blackwater, Feilong's development can be described as barbaric. What he did was dark, and the methods he used were also dark, and the level of danger was not low. And it seemed that Feilong would have more room to play after Shen Hao took control of the entire Jingxi Black Flag Camp. Coupled with the powerful weapon "Gemei", Shen Hao feels that Feilong's reputation will not be limited to the black market in the near future.
After chatting for a while, Shen Hao changed the subject and asked: "My housekeeper Lao Hu told me yesterday that Tang Qingyuan was in trouble. Why is there no news from you?"
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a surprised expression: "Sir, Mr. Tang's matter belongs to the daily routine within the Xuanqing Guard. I thought that it would not go through the black water channel, so I didn't tell you. I know that I was wrong, please forgive me. I will punish you, my lord." After saying that, he stood with his hands tied and looked like he accepted the punishment.
Shen Hao frowned. Wang Jian seemed to be accepting the punishment, but in fact he was saying: Tang Qingyuan's matter did not fall into the category of Blackwater, so he did not report it.
It does not belong to Heishui, it is Xuanqingwei's daily life. Who should repay the daily life? Of course it’s Wang Yiming.
"Hmph, you can tell the difference clearly. Tell me what kind of trouble Tang Qingyuan got into." Shen Hao did not answer Wang Jian's words. If there is an internal problem, he will not just listen to Wang Jian and his family. He will naturally inquire whether Wang Yiming has neglected his duty.
