Four days later, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou arrived at Song Ye City.
Song Yecheng is an ancient city, and it has existed even longer than the Yuelong Dynasty, because it was left by the previous dynasty.
During the previous dynasty, this place almost became the imperial capital of the previous dynasty.
Moreover, when Taizu defeated the last emperor of the previous dynasty and was about to ascend the throne, the last emperor of the previous dynasty fled here.
Therefore, according to legend, in this Song Ye City, there are actually remnants of the previous dynasty.
Of course, this is just a legend, at least, this legend, even the current royal family, no one pays attention to it.
Before entering the city gate, the atmosphere of simplicity came.
Long Xiaoyuan said: "This place seems to be pretty good."
"Where is it good?" Shi Qingzhou said lightly.
"It feels like the city gate here is different from other city gates we've been to... "
"En." Shi Qingzhou nodded. "It's really different. The prosperity of this city is second only to the imperial city."
"Oh?" Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows with interest. "Is it very prosperous? Then you have to take a good look."
Shi Qingzhou glanced at each other. "Go in and turn around."
"Are there many people on the list?" Long Xiaoyuan asked.
"Not many, about thirty people, what's the matter?"
"Ask. Let's see how much time we have for fun." Long Xiaoyuan laughed.
Shi Qingzhou also smiled slightly when he heard the words. "There will be time."
The carriage needs to be inspected routinely when entering the door, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't want to get out of the carriage at first.
But this city gate is actually very strict, and every passing carriage is searched very carefully.
So, if Song Yecheng hadn't been so strict, something would have happened.
"Go and find out what's going on in Song Yecheng." Shi Qingzhou ordered the shadow guard quietly.
The shadow guard left quickly, and came back with a message not long after.
In Song Ye City, a flower picker unexpectedly appeared.
Moreover, he is also a flower picker who is very strong in martial arts and can take all men and women!
This flower picker has been making waves in Song Ye City for more than a month.
Every time he saw a woman or a man, he would shoot a note and a dart to that person's home one day in advance.
Then, in the middle of the night, they would come and take away the woman, or the man, without exception.
Although this person has already notified frantically, their families will naturally not be unprepared.
However, that person's martial arts were very high, even if he surrounded his house like an iron bucket, the person the flower picker liked would still be taken away.
Waiting until the next day, the lady or son who was taken away will be sent back, but the person has already been succeeded by the flower picker.
The women lost their reputation and cried, and in more than a month, three women committed suicide because of this.
Although the man is a little better in terms of fame, this is also a very heavy blow.
Therefore, the entire Song Ye city was panicked.
Until five days ago, the flower picker took a fancy to Song Cailian, the daughter of Song Yecheng prefect.
The magistrate not only gathered the guards of the military yamen, but also invited the well-known poison cloud old man in the rivers and lakes.
This poison cloud old man is good at using poison, and he knows how to disguise himself.
The magistrate pretended to be a maid as a daughter, and let the old man Duyun sprinkle a lot of poison in the room.
The flower picker came as promised, and he seemed to know that Song Cailian was a fake.
However, he still walked into the trap by himself.
The old man Du Yun's so many poisons were useless to him, but he was wounded instead.
The maid who was disguised as Song Cailian was knocked unconscious by the palm of the flower picker.
Afterwards, the flower picker forced her to ask about Song Cailian's location, and the servant girl was afraid of death, so she revealed the underground passage.
The flower picker chased into the secret passage, laughing loudly and trying to take Song Cailian away.
Then, for some unknown reason, the flower picker screamed and fled from the secret passage.
The flower picker who escaped said that he would definitely come back again! Let Song Cailian wash and wait for him!
The magistrate was very angry. How did the flower picker get hurt? According to Song Cailian, there was a kind of poison hidden in the secret passage, and she spilled the poison when the flower picker was about to get close to her.
Then the flower picker ran away, and the daughter of Song Zhifu had also learned martial arts since she was a child, and when the flower picker was poisoned, she even took the opportunity to stab the flower picker with a sword. Otherwise, the flower picker wouldn't have made such a scream.
Everyone admired Song Cailian's wit.
The only pity is that although the flower picker was seriously injured. But people still escaped.
Afterwards, Song Zhifu sealed off the city and searched for the whereabouts of the flower pickers in the city.
The search was almost door-to-door, but the flower picker didn't make any trouble at all, as if he didn't exist at all.
Everyone thought again that the flower picker said before leaving that he would come back.
Moreover, it is very likely that the flower picker left the city that night, and when the other party came back, he would definitely pass through the city gate.
That's why this city gate is so strictly checked.
That's all about the flower picker...
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou got out of the carriage at this time, he squinted his eyes after listening to the narration of the shadow guard.
"Huh? There are such arrogant flower picking thieves. Damn it, they killed several girls, right?"
"Yes."
Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "Song Cailian? After entering the city later, go and check the magistrate and Song Cailian."
"Yes! Master Stone."
"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan was a little puzzled. "Qing Zhou, the magistrate doesn't seem to be on the list, does he?"
"Well, not here, but I don't believe that Song Cailian can make the flower picker escape with a little poison and a three-legged cat's kung fu. The kung fu is so powerful, it will be no problem to check."
Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin when he heard the words. "Well, the guards in the homes of rich families in the city will not be too weak. Besides, since the flower picker has been notified in advance, he must have high martial arts. It is normal for Song Cailian, a weak woman, to make the flower picker have no defense, but no defense at all. , if there is a big difference in martial arts, it is impossible to succeed in a sneak attack."
"That's right." Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "So it's okay to check, otherwise, it's another Wu Xiangyuan."
"By the way, speaking of Wu Xiangyuan... she is still imprisoned in the Tianji Tower of the Imperial City." Long Xiaoyuan said softly: "She should have recovered from my father's side, and I think she will pass."
Something happened to the Tianji Building on the Jiangnan side. Dong Yeguo wanted to get his hands on the Tianji Building, but the owner of the Tianji Building was not Wu Xiangyuan, the brainless one.
Therefore, Dongye Kingdom also learned a painful lesson.
Of course, the person in charge of this seems to be the prince of the East Ye Kingdom.
The forces of Tianjilou and Dongye Kingdom started a war here.
Because of the woman Wu Xiangyuan, Dongye Kingdom sent some masters into the headquarters of Dongye Kingdom.
Wu Xiangyuan thought she was cooperating with Dongye Kingdom.
However, what Dongye Kingdom wants is not cooperation at all, but control.
For cooperation, if you want to know what news, you have to rely on Tianjilou. And, cooperation is companionship.
However, if they control it, then everything in the Tianji Building belongs to them!
Dongye Kingdom's ambitions are so big!
The imperial court did not participate in this matter, and traitors appeared inside the Tianji Building, so they should pay the price for it.
Until a few days ago, Tianji Building finally dealt with the infiltration of Dongye Kingdom.
However, Zou Qingyuan and the owner of Tianji Building were also injured.
Especially the landlord of the Tianji Building, his injuries almost failed to recover!
However, if Wu Xiangyuan was imprisoned, he might die in the end. Therefore, as long as the owner of Tianji Building didn't die, as long as he cared about his only daughter, then he would definitely go to the imperial city!
"En." Shi Qingzhou hummed lightly, not paying attention to the woman Wu Xiangyuan. And Tianjilou... "Wu Xiangyuan, I must die."
Although Long Xiaoyuan didn't like that woman very much, he had to consider the possibility of counterattack if Tianjilou was dying.
Seeing Long Xiaoyuan's silence, Shi Qingzhou glanced at him in the blink of an eye. "You don't want to kill her?"
Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "Golden King Gu is a scourge brought about by her. Why would I not want to kill her? I'm just worried that it's not worth it because she and Tianjilou will break up completely."
Shi Qingzhou heard the words and said lightly: "If Wu Ronghan wants to kill Tianjilou because of a daughter, then we will fulfill him."
Wu Ronghan is the owner of Tianji Building.
Long Xiaoyuan turned his head to the side, looking at the domineering Shi Qingzhou with cold eyes, feeling pain in his heart.
The fists at his side were clenched slightly, and Long Xiaoyuan said firmly: "Qing Zhou said that the Tianji Building, although Wu Ronghan is the owner, but this Tianji Building is not just his Wu Family's property, Wu Xiangyuan dared to use the Golden King Gu to harm it. You, then she will die! No method can get rid of her guilt!"
Hearing Long Xiaoyuan's resolute maintenance, the coldness in Shi Qingzhou's eyes finally dissipated a little, he just nodded, and said: "Let's go in first."
At this time, it was their turn to check, and they were not flower pickers.
After being checked in detail, everyone entered Song Ye City.
This place is still far away from the imperial city, and from the investigation of the power of Dongye Kingdom, there are not many infiltrated here.
However, whether this is really the case, they have to see for themselves!
