It was already evening when we came back from the island. The two picked up a lot of shells and kept them, saying that they would make a shell wind chime and hang it in the princess mansion.
That's right, it was the Princess Mansion bestowed upon Fu Qiushui after he was named the Eldest Princess. Man Xinghanqiu and other people from Jianjia Palace and Fengyi Palace had already been transferred inside to see their family, and they did not stay in the palace.
The adults are also in it, and this time I didn't bring it out, mainly because Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui had thought about it for a while, the pure two-person world.
After visiting King Huan's fiefdom, they planned to return to the capital to have a look.
One is to go back to see the children, the other is to pick up Lord Mao, and the third is that the queen mother sent them a message to come back and persuade Qixue to get married.
"Why does the queen mother suddenly want to recruit a consort for Qixue?" Shen Yuqing didn't read the letter, it was Fu Qiushui who read it and relayed it to her.
At that time, while burning the letter, Fu Qiushui said helplessly: "Qixue has been a little too much lately, the queen mother asked us to go back and act with her to scare her."
It's just that Qixue has been getting more and more troubled recently. Before, she just took the boys and girls to play around, but now she starts to take a group of girls to dress up as men to visit brothels, organize groups to molested handsome monks in temples, and so on. Many wives have gone to the palace to cry to the Empress Dowager and Empress Su. The Empress Dowager was overwhelmed by the disturbance and decided to take care of her daughters.
But the Empress Dowager could not train Qixue by herself, and Empress Su was busy with palace affairs and the enlightenment education of her son, and behind her was His Majesty, the younger sister who was controlling the water. The empress dowager desperately needed allies, so she wanted to call them both back.
He didn't even plan to find a consort for Qixue, but just used the name of the royal family to invite a group of princes and clan girls to the royal garden for a banquet. Then she lied to Qixue that she was looking for a consort for her, and let Shen Yuqing and the others put on airs to suppress Qixue while urging Qixue to marry her. In fact, it was a blind date banquet for girls of the right age in the clan.
The previous Princess Xiushan was married, but there are still many girls from other princesses and princes who are not engaged, so it is good to take this opportunity to meet them.
Shen Yuqing readily agreed, gearing up to go back and play with Qixue.
But it's getting late today, so it's better to start tomorrow. Shen Yuqing and the others returned to Huandu, found a random inn and booked a room.
Huandu Jiangling Gate stronghold.
"The young sect master's body was found..." a Jiangling sect disciple said submissively, for fear that the rudder master above would get angry and kill him.
In the morning, the Young Clan Master said that he would bring two young ladies back, but no one was seen until the afternoon. The rudder master told them to search for it quickly. They found out that the young master followed the two young ladies out of the city, but they didn't expect to find the young master's body on the path outside the city.
It seems that he has been dead for a long time.
The rudder master's face changed when he heard the words, and he was furious: "What are you eating?!"
The young sect master died in his jurisdiction, and the sect master had no choice but to punish him severely.
Although Yuan Zhu is useless in his opinion, and his martial arts are not particularly strong, he always likes to rob civilian women. But he is the only son of the sect master. The sect master looks like an eyeball. If it weren't for Yuan Zhu's self-confidence in martial arts and his refusal to be protected by experts, he would definitely be surrounded by a group of masters in the sect.
It's all right now, that fool really provoked someone he couldn't beat and was killed, and unfortunately he was implicated instead.
The rudder master gritted his teeth and slapped the disciple: "Go and investigate! Who did it! Also, who are those two little girls, what are their backgrounds, and where are they now!"
It doesn't matter if it was done by those two women or someone else. Find the two women first, maybe there is a breakthrough in them, and the identity of the murderer who killed Yuan Zhu can be discovered.
The disciples did not dare to say that the wounds on the four of Yuan Zhu's bodies did not show obvious traces of martial arts from other gangs, so they should not be done by some famous sect. I'm afraid it's a hidden master, and the method of killing is very simple and has no special features.
But the little disciple had a strong desire to survive, and knew that the rudder master would ask about the two women, so he sent someone to investigate before reporting to the rudder master. Now when he heard the question from the helmsman, he immediately ignored the previous ones, and answered the latter ones: "The identities of the two girls cannot be found out, they are not the ladies of the martial arts family and the official family. Two of them are for the master and servant, and one is sick and weak. His master and a maid with good martial arts are now living in Tianzi No. 3 Room of Ruyue Inn."
The rudder master said coldly: "Very well, catch them first, don't wait for a moment."
The master behind Ruyue Inn is the official who has cooperated with them for a long time in Jianglingmen, and he will sell this face to let them arrest people. Taking advantage of the dead of night to quietly faint the two women, just drag them away without disturbing other residents.
The disciple immediately contacted him, and he must be brought back tonight.
After the person left, the rudder master thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong, so he had to go there himself. Yuan Zhu didn't know who killed him. If it was these two women, then his subordinates might not only be unable to succeed, but would even startle the snake.
To be on the safe side, he decided to participate in the arrest himself. His martial arts were more than two grades higher than Yuan Zhu's, so he didn't believe that woman could be better than him.
At any rate, he can be regarded as one of the top five masters in Jiangling Gate, otherwise the sect master wouldn't have left Huandu's piece of fat to him.
In the middle of the night, Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui fell asleep peacefully.
Just like what was played on TV, Xiao Er quietly broke the paper window, and then put in a pipe of smoke. After blowing lightly, after a while, after the smoke effect took effect and the remaining smoke dissipated, they opened the window.
When I looked at it, there was no movement on the bed, and I was in a deep sleep.
Xiao Er turned his head and waved at the disciples of the Jiangling Sect, lowering his voice, "Hurry up and be gentle, don't disturb other guests."
It would be terrible if other customers knew that their shop was still working as a black shop.
The Jianglingmen disciples nodded, and the most skilled jumped in first, went to the door and opened the door bolt. After the door opened, there was no need to climb the window. Four or five disciples filed in and groped towards the bed.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and a disciple's body froze, and after a while, he fell down slowly. The few remaining people were startled, immediately became vigilant, and rushed over at a faster speed.
However, no accident, they fell one by one, and they didn't know how they died until they died.
Shen Yuqing withdrew her hand and put the rest of the steel needle back into her sleeve.
She got out of bed and put on her shoes, picked up these people one by one, threw two onto the bed, and threw the rest under the bed. Fu Qiushui had already got out of bed when she got out of bed, walked to the side and began to tidy up.
The two of them had taken the detoxifying holy product before, and they were invulnerable to all poisons within five years after taking it. Not to mention the smoke, even the poison that seals the throat when they see blood is ineffective for them.
Shen Yuqing pulled out the steel needles between their eyebrows, wiped them clean on their clothes and put them away. Then he lifted the quilt and covered the two corpses on the bed that were adjusted to face the door. Their hair was scattered and covered their faces, making it absolutely impossible to tell whether they were male or female at first glance.
Then she put her arms around Fu Qiushui and prepared to leave overnight, but before she could go out, she heard something. She immediately closed the door and window, the door was back to the locked state, and hid on the beam of the house with her arms around Fu Qiushui.
In the next second, someone pushed the door but did not open it, and opened the window instead.
He quietly opened the window and came in, and saw that everything was normal inside, and he was a little surprised. The disciples under his sect were also too slow, he rushed over after such a long time, why haven't the group of guys who have done nothing but failed have not arrived yet
He snorted coldly in his heart, pulled out his dagger, and didn't plan to wait for those ordinary disciples anymore. He walked directly to the bed and decided to do it.
Shen Yuqing knew at a glance that this person was not an ordinary disciple, he was on the same path as the previous group, but he should belong to the upper management. They were all dressed similarly to Yuan Zhu, I'm afraid Jianglingmen found Yuan Zhu's body and came to seek revenge.
Since she delivered it to her door, Shen Yuqing is also welcome. This person should know a lot about Jiangling Sect, so he can arrest him first and ask him.
Originally, Shen Yuqing was too lazy to worry about other things, and didn't want to care about whether Jiangling Sect was bullying male bullies or male prostitutes and female robbers. But the other party insisted on coming over again and again to seek death, and they didn't look like good people. Shen Yuqing wondered what the Jiangling Gate was for, what they had done, and whether the emperor could take it.
Shen Yuqing appeared behind the other party in an instant, stretched out her hand and gently placed it on his neck: "What a coincidence, you are also here to find us?"
She smiled slightly, but there was no smile in her words.
The rudder master shrank his pupils and froze, not daring to move.
This woman is actually so strong in martial arts!
It was tiring to restrain him all the time, Shen Yuqing casually stuffed a pill and forced him to swallow it, and the helmsman collapsed on the ground in an instant, unable to exert any strength. What's more frightening is that he can't feel the internal force in his dantian, as if he lost all his martial arts.
The helmsman stared in amazement at the two women who were sitting and drinking tea leisurely across from him, regretted coming to provoke them, and scolded Yuan Zhu who was dead.
It's all because Yuan Zhu is blind, he dares to provoke anyone.
Shen Yuqing didn't make things difficult for the rudder master, but just asked him with a smile if he would like to tell everything about Jiangling Gate. The helmsman was also stubborn, stubbornly refusing to speak, obviously not going to cooperate.
The imperial concubine sighed: "Since this is the case, then I can only use some bad methods."
The rudder master suddenly shuddered, and before he could retort, Shen Yuqing stuffed another pill in, and also forced to swallow it.
This pill is mixed with hallucinogenic plant juice, which will make people regard the first person they see as the most trustworthy person, and answer whatever they ask, without hiding anything. It is equivalent to a kind of mental poison. It will automatically lose effect after twelve hours, but it will seriously damage the brain. After the toxin is metabolized, people may become stupid.
If the rudder master cooperates, Shen Yuqing doesn't like to use such things with serious side effects. However, the rudder master did not cooperate at all, and Shen Yuqing was too lazy to torture to extract a confession.
She found this pill out of the corner stack. There are a lot of things in her backpack, but she usually throws it in casually. Apart from the usual ones, she doesn't know what else is in her backpack.
It was because she needed to stuff things into the backpack so that the two of them could travel lightly and easily, so she took the trouble to tidy it up.
In this way, it seems that the pills are not good things, and they are obviously "provided" by Huajie's friends.
After swallowing the pill, Fu Qiushui started the questioning. She asked more systematically and comprehensively, unlike Shen Yuqing who asked here and there and missed many things.
"Jianglingmen is the number one martial arts school in King Huan's fiefdom." The rudder master knew everything without saying a word.
This Jiangling Gate can be regarded as a water bandit stockade, because it was indeed in the beginning. It's just that later they began to "transform and whitewash", and they became the sect of the rivers and lakes.
At the beginning, Jiangling Gate was a water bandit on the Jiangshang River, where King Huan was entrusted. There were countless ships, large and small, robbing passing merchant ships and some wealthy villages along the way. However, they generally don't do things like killing chickens and taking eggs, so although the money for robbery is a lot, it is within the tolerance of the merchants.
Those caravans traveled between King Huan's fiefdom and the outside world, doing business to make a difference, and they could make a lot of money on the trip. Spending part of the profit to buy Ping An, although heartache is acceptable, anyway, it is more profitable than doing business in Dayan's territory outside.
In the beginning, Jiangling Gate had to take the initiative to rob, but after it developed into a rule, the caravans would voluntarily hand it in every time.
After the caravan paid the money, the Jiangling Gate helped to protect their boats in King Huan's fiefdom. There are no other water bandits here, as long as they have a good relationship with Jianglingmen, they can leave King Huan's fief safely. As for the outside, Jianglingmen doesn't care.
The reason why King Huan didn't care about it was because the head of the Jiangling Gate was obedient and took the initiative to hand over money to King Huan's confidant. In fact, most of the money went into King Huan's pocket, but his confidant did not suffer, because this was even more valued by King Huan.
Now that King Huan is gone, the Jiangling Gate quickly picked up the governor who came to manage the land of King Huan. Relying on the governor's relationship, they are still domineering and robbing trading houses.
Those old acquaintances naturally handed over their money obediently, but the amount was naturally not as much as before. After all, the profits are not so big now. But the newcomers were generally unwilling to hand in, so they were caught and threatened by Jianglingmen, and several caravans lost their lives.
Gradually, the foreign merchants almost knew the name of Jianglingmen, and would rather spend money to eliminate the disaster than face it head-on.
When King Huan was around, Jiangling Gate was not as arrogant as it is now. At the very least, they would not openly rob people's daughters, and Yuan Zhu, the young sect master, only dared to do it secretly. But now in King Huan's fiefdom, the forces of King Huan, the princess and the emperor are intertwined, and the water is very chaotic, so there are many places where you can fish in troubled waters.
With less restraint, Jiangling Gate almost became the second Tu Emperor.
Fu Qiushui frowned after hearing this, she expected that it would be difficult for King Huan to take over the fief, after all, it has not been under the control of the Dayan royal family since the founding of the country. But I didn't expect such a toss, the emperor's layout for many years, still struggling at every step.
A small Jianghu sect can be so arrogant, and it seems that they have bribed the governor, and no one has reported the Jiangling sect's affairs. The emperor probably knew that there was such a village of water bandits, but it was hard to say whether he could know how crazy this village was.
After all, they were a group of water bandits. Perhaps the people in the fief of King Huan had heard of Jianglingmen, and only knew that it was a big Jianghu sect, but they didn't know what they usually did. After all, if you are not a businessman, you will generally not deal with Jianglingmen.
Shen Yuqing looked at Fu Qiushui: "Is it done?"
"It's done." Fu Qiushui's eyes turned cold.
Now that you've been bumped into by them, don't even think about keeping it.
In the past year or so, they have also met some Jianghu sects. But although those sects are not purely good people, they will not condone their disciples to do bad things, and most of them like to act chivalrously.
It was the first time I saw a bandit in the name of a sect like Jianglingmen.
The emperor ordered the army to suppress the bandits, and recruited people from all corners of the country to help suppress the bandits. Now most of the bandits in the original picture of Dayan have been wiped out, only some small fish and shrimps are left to fight guerrilla warfare against them in the mountains and forests. It will take a few years to clear them up one by one. But the big bandit village has long since disappeared, and it is estimated that this Jiangling Gate is the only fish that slipped through the net.
According to the rudder master, Shen Yuqing didn't pay attention to him at all in the top five martial arts in the sect. She estimated that after going in, she would clean up the remaining four first, and then toss some high-level bandit leaders one by one, and then she could notify Huaijing to send troops to wipe them out.
I'm not afraid that the governor will continue to practice favoritism and abuse. Although the governor has military power, he must first consult the central government to mobilize the army. After Shen Yuqing planned to send the news to the central government, she asked the central government to pack up the governor directly, and took the village by the way.
Shen Yuqing could carry the stockade by herself, but she was too lazy to do it herself. So many people, many of them were looting around on the boat, she couldn't keep up with it.
As long as the top ones are tossed, the remaining small bosses are no threat at all. Even if the governor wanted to protect him, he would be powerless against this group of leaderless guys.
Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui made up their minds and decided to take over the headquarters before going back.
The rudder owner said that most of the senior executives will return to the headquarters in a few days, because it is the annual debriefing day, and they probably have to go back to report on work. It happened to be able to be done in one pot, and there were some second-in-commands who could not be masters and led their disciples to work in various places.
The second in command can still control these disciples in a short period of time, but after the news of the death of the superior is spread, I am afraid that the second in command will not be able to control the subordinates at all. And even if the news didn't come out, the second in command could only control the disciple for a month or two at most, and the disciple would be out of control any longer.
This is the Jiangling Sect's system in order to prevent the second-in-command from taking the opportunity to win over people to rebel. It has become a great breakthrough for them to let the disciples only obey the rudder master and the elders of the sect master.
After Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui finished their calculations, it was almost dawn. The two of them lost their sleepiness, they knocked the helmsman unconscious and threw it aside, then left the inn.
After finding a quiet place, Shen Yuqing changed the appearance of the two of them again, changed their clothes and hairstyle, and started to rush to Jianglingmen headquarters.
The headquarters is set up at a river confluence, where there is an island in the middle of the river, with convenient water conservancy and transportation, it is very suitable to become the base camp of water bandits. When Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui arrived, there was still a day before the high-level meeting. The two of them found a place to nest up and waited quietly for the next day.
Shen Yuqing wanted to throw poison directly to overthrow the headquarters, but all the water sources here are connected to several nearby rivers. If the poison is injected, the poison will flow down with the water, and the consequences are estimated to be very serious, and the coast will be affected.
Shen Yuqing had no choice but to give up and switch to drugs.
If it is drugged, she has a drug that is not very effective. After being diluted by water, it has almost no effect, so it doesn't matter if it flows into the river, but the poison in her hand is relatively strong, and it is still terrible after dilution.
Fu Qiushui helped administer the medicine, like two thieves. But it feels good to do bad things together, with great interest, and I still feel unsatisfied after spraying the medicine.
After that, it was waiting for them to be recruited.
The time for sprinkling the medicine is near the evening in the afternoon, and there is an hour delay in the onset of the drug. It was time for cooking, and the people in the village unknowingly fetched water for cooking, but they didn't know that the water had already been drugged.
When the food was served, only half an hour had passed, and no one fell down. Naturally, no one knew that there was a problem with the food.
A group of high-level executives toasted and mingled, ate and drank, talked eloquently, and were full of interest. Some people fainted outside, but no one came to report. At the beginning, there were only a few of them, and they were scattered all over the place, which did not arouse everyone's vigilance at all. When there are too many people, it is useless for them to be vigilant.
A subordinate rushed in to report, but was dismissed as disturbing everyone's interest. If it weren't for the anxious expression on his face, those water bandits who were too drunk would not bother to listen to them.
Shen Yuqing watched in the dark for a while, and found that the door owner probably didn't know that his son was dead. It was the rudder master's subordinates who investigated this matter before, and then all his subordinates went to attack Shen Yuqing, and later the rudder master was made a fool by Shen Yuqing.
The sub-rudder probably only reported the accident of the rudder master, and they didn't know who did it, and they didn't know that the young sect master died. So the sect master didn't know anything, and although the death of a subordinate made him angry, it didn't affect his mood of drinking on a good day.
Fu Qiushui counted the time at the side, watching the group of people below suddenly wake up after listening to the subordinate's report, and the drunkenness disappeared, she slowly exhaled: "There are still two quarters of an hour."
For half an hour, this group of people couldn't find anything at all.
Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui watched with great interest as they began to sweep every inch of the disciple to check the cause of the disciple's fainting. However, a doctor took the pulse and said that he had been drugged, and there was no cure for it for the time being, and they could only wait for the drug to pass. However, he couldn't tell where the drug was placed.
So the top priority is to quickly find out where the person who gave the drug is hiding.
It is destined not to be found, Shen Guifei is hiding on the beam of the hall. Those people never expected that someone could hide so close without being noticed by them, so they didn't expect to check the beams.
The head of the sect firmly believed that there was a traitor in the sect, so he focused on investigating the disciples.
"There is still a quarter of an hour." Fu Qiushui stretched his waist, "It's almost there."
The author has something to say: Fanwai is really a special card for writing, and I also want to take a break while writing Fanwai, so I may not be able to guarantee that it will be updated before 9:00 every night.
But there will definitely be an update before midnight, I suggest you watch it during the day the next day instead of staying up late!
