"This old guy is more cunning than a corrupt official!"
Zhou Yi never considered himself an elite, otherwise he wouldn't have been a 996 cow and horse in his previous life.
The Taoist Fruit of Immortality is only endless longevity and does not confer extraordinary wisdom.
People like Yu Su neither practice martial arts nor cultivate immortality. They spend their whole lives fighting and planning. Their cunning is far beyond what Zhou Yi can match.
Perhaps in a few hundred years, after Zhouyi has gone through thousands of sails, he will be able to reach this state, where all kinds of city government's calculations can be sent and received without leaving any trace.
"It's too troublesome. All the conspiracies and beautiful women's designs are all in trouble!"
Zhou Yi ignored the prisoners' wails and got used to it after drinking more swill for a few days. He carried the bucket to the prison cell.
I wanted to watch my colleagues draw cards and kill time.
The jailers all sat upright and chatted away. After Zhou Yi asked the reason, he learned that Captain Yang had issued an order strictly prohibiting drinking and making money in the sky prison.
It was hard to get to the lowest value.
Zhou Yi returned to the courtyard, pondered the formation for two hours, and then began to practice the Guiyuan Jue.
The way of refining qi is valuable and valuable.
Midnight.
Zhou Yi slowly stopped his power, wiped his face with his hand, and instantly transformed into the old appearance of the Wheel of Fortune.
After decades of practice in the art of disguise, he has reached a state of perfection. He then uses a shadow charm to cover himself up and travels through the divine capital at night.
Tongfufang.
Yuan Mansion.
Waterside pavilions, rockeries and strange rocks.
It was once owned by a wealthy businessman in Beijing. Because he was suspected of doing business with Dayong, the whole family was exiled, and was sold to Jinyiwei Tongzhi at a high price of one hundred taels.
There are black-clad cavalry on duty at the door, with open and hidden sentries everywhere, and the entire mansion is guarded like an iron barrel.
The Book of Changes is like a wisp of dark wind, easily passing through the house and falling into the back house.
In the house.
Yuan Shun was sleeping with his eighteenth-room concubine in his arms when he suddenly woke up and heard movement in the main room. His first reaction was to touch the poisonous crossbow arrow hidden under the pillow.
"Come out and see me."
Zhou Yi poured a cup of tea and took a sip. It was definitely royal tribute tea.
Yuan Shun casually put on some clothes and came out, respectfully saying: "My lord, what are your orders?"
Zhou Yi said: "Send some good men to Jiangnan to keep an eye on the eight major families, especially the Yang family in Hongzhou. If a dog in his family makes trouble, it must be recorded carefully."
"As ordered, I will make arrangements tomorrow."
Yuan Shun guessed: "Are the eight major families in the south of the Yangtze River related to immortality?"
"Maybe."
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, then changed his voice: "What happened when I reported the rumors to Yunshan?"
The voice was very soft, and it sounded like thunder exploding in Yuan Shun's ears. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"Lord, spare my life. I have no choice but to humble myself."
"So, Yunshan is really fake?"
A fierce light flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and the sword energy circled around Yuan Shun's neck, oozing out bright red blood beads.
"My lord, I humbly went to Xuzhou to take revenge. I arrested several officials and imprisoned them, which aroused the suspicion of Jin Yiwei."
Yuan Shun quickly explained: "You know what Jinyiwei does. They never give evidence. They coerced me to deliver false news to the Lord, and asked the imperial palace to go to Yunshan to ambush me."
"I am humbled and under surveillance. I dare not explain my words. I can only describe Yunshan as if it is a fairyland and not like the human world at all. I hope the Lord will be on guard."
Zhou Yi snorted coldly: "If it weren't for this, you would have died long ago!"
"Thank you Lord for your mercy."
Yuan Shun kowtowed repeatedly, sweat dripping all over the floor.
Zhou Yi asked: "Why did you choose me?"
At that time, Yuan Shun repeatedly reported on the spectacular scenery of Yunshan Mountain, about the rainbow lights that often flew down, the gathering of strange people and strangers, and the shrouded white mist that made it difficult for ordinary people to climb to the top of Yunshan Mountain.
Yunshan is quite famous in Jiangnan, and many scholars live here as hermits.
If there really was such a grand event, Yunshan would have caused a sensation in Fengyang Kingdom, and the Dog Emperor would not have been helpless.
Zhou Yi had long suspected that there was something fishy about Yunshan's news.
"My Lord is bent on seeking immortality and asking. Either it is true or it is absurd and false. At least it would be better to cooperate with those big shots like you."
Yuan Shun said respectfully: "Those people only see money and power. Once they become humble and useless, they will sell them for money at any time."
"Quite smart."
Zhou Yi said coldly: "Who asked you to fish out me?"
"Feng Zhong."
Yuan Shun said: "There were a few others whose identities were exposed, but because they didn't have enough money, they were all executed secretly."
"Someone will handle this matter!"
Zhou Yi stared at Yuan Shun for a long time and said slowly: "You remember to seize the opportunity. After Feng Zhong's death, at least be promoted to deputy commander!"
"Thank you, Lord."
When Yuan Shun spoke, he felt like there was an extra ball in his mouth, and it melted in his mouth.
The tiny Gu worm penetrated into the body, and finally settled on the heart. He was horrified, and when he raised his head again, he could no longer see the figure of the Reincarnation King.
Hiss!
Heartbreaking pain came, and Yuan Shun rolled back and forth on the ground, waking up his sleeping concubine.
The concubine was anxious to call the doctor, but Yuan Shun quickly stopped her.
After a long time, the severe pain slowly dissipated, and Yuan Shun lay on the ground and calculated silently.
"How much money does the deputy commander need? There are several merchants in the capital. They have been watching for half a year. It's time to close the net and confiscate their homes!"
…
Time flows like water.
Fourteen years of orthodoxy.
spring.
Zhou Yi carried a wooden bucket to deliver meals, and the prisoners in the prison generally lost weight.
"Brother, give me two more spoons, I'm going to starve to death!"
"Silver, I have plenty of silver, about a hundred taels of silver!"
"..."
The prisoners were very hungry and used various methods to persuade them to eat more bowls of porridge.
Zhou Yi delivered the meals silently. In recent months, half of the prison guards had been replaced, and the rest were able to resist the temptation of prisoners and not reach out for money.
Yang Xiaoxiao will send any jailer who can't control himself and is greedy for money to jail.
Through the fence, I looked at my colleagues from yesterday.
The remaining jailers were so frightened that they dared to disobey and strictly enforce the rules.
As a result, the price of food for lunch in prison has soared, and a bowl of thick porridge costs a hundred taels of silver.
This day.
After Zhou Yi delivered the meal, he was looking for a place to fish and cultivate immortality.
Lao Lei ran over and said: "Lao Zhou, there is a problem in Jia Er Prison. Captain Yang calls you over for interrogation."
Zhou Yi asked: "What's the origin?"
"A generation of water bandits from the south of the Yangtze River, the boss of the Seventy-Two Chain Docks, is known as the Dragon of the River."
Lao Lei whispered: "I heard from Lieutenant Ma who was interrogating last night that this man controlled the Jiangnan waterway for more than ten years and made an unknown amount of money. The imperial army broke through Lianlianwu, but the money disappeared."
"Does this still require a trial?"
Zhou Yi curled his lips, and he was most likely a lackey of the Jiangnan family.
When the dog became fat, he took advantage of the imperial court's suppression of bandits to devour it completely.
Lao Lei was also a sensible person and said with a smile: "I have to show off no matter what."
A second prison.
Zhou Yi came in and saw Captain Yang inflicting torture.
The red iron was stamped on Hun Jianglong's face, making a sizzling sound and giving off a burning smell.
Hun Jianglong was two feet tall, with arms and legs as thick as torture poles. He was tortured by Captain Yang, but he could not make a sound. Tong Ling stared at the people in the cell with his big eyes, and his fierce aura hit his face, so frightened that the jailer did not dare to approach.
Colonel Yang tortured him for a long time, then threw the soldering iron back into the stove in frustration: "Old Zhou, come here!"
"Yes, Master Yang."
Zhou Yi stepped forward and tapped several acupuncture points. He placed his fingertips on the sandalwood and let the inner energy flow up along the Yutang point.
After decades, Zhouyi's punishment methods have reached their peak. The internal energy repeatedly stimulates many of the prisoners' critical points, allowing the body to experience extreme pain while still ensuring life.
"Woooooooo..."
Hun Jianglong couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and when he opened his mouth, he saw that there was no tongue in his mouth, and even the vocal cords at the back were cut to pieces.
Wow!
Hun Jianglong's body suddenly grew ten inches taller, and the originally tight iron chains shattered into several pieces.
"Roar!"
With an angry roar, Hun Jiang Longbo's big fist hit Zhou Yi's head, but he couldn't bear the result. Perhaps he was confident that he could kill the person, so he jumped over to attack Captain Yang.
Zhou Yi's steps changed, turning into several phantoms, easily dodging the fists.
"burst!"
After giving the order, Hun Jianglong made several bang bang bang noises in his body. There was no trace of any scars on his appearance, and the three-foot-tall man fell to the ground with a rumble.
