The rainstorm stopped suddenly, and most of the people in Changling breathed a sigh of relief. The sunny weather, which is usually tired of seeing, seemed to be very friendly. Many caravans took the time to deal with the damp goods. However, it was unexpected that, Just after noon, the sky became cloudy again, and then a rain quickly enveloped the entire Changling.
This rain was not as violent as last night, but it was very lingering, pattering, and it seemed impossible to stop for a while.
The streets and alleys are misty, rainy and empty, and once again it's like countless layers of veils that can't be seen clearly.
In the south of Changling City, there is a building that looks like a Taoist temple, covering an area of tens of acres.
The Great Qin Dynasty rewarded very heavily. Those who can win the first place in the enemy will be rewarded with a rank of nobility, benefit the house with nine acres, and beheaded two thousand ranks, and can enjoy three hundred taxes.
Therefore, most of the Changling's houses, and even the courtyards of ordinary soldiers, are surprisingly large in the past, and the entire Changling has been expanded and expanded accordingly. This building located in the south of Changling City is really not that big.
However, except for a few big figures deep in the palace, all the dignitaries of the Great Qin Dynasty have deep vigilance and fear towards this place.
Because this is where God's capital prison is located.
The investigation and handling of cases in the Great Qin Dynasty mainly relied on the Supervisory Division. There were thousands of full-time officials in the Supervisory Division, and there were countless diners under each official's own orders, and all kinds of major cases did not need to be reported to other divisions, and they were directly reported to other divisions. The sky listens, so the power of Tianjian Division has always been faintly superior to other divisions.
However, Shendujian is also an outlier.
There are no more than one hundred officials on the list of Shendu Prison, but only one-tenth of the number of supervisors, and they are usually only responsible for investigation and surveillance. However, the objects of investigation and surveillance are all kinds of officials, practitioners, and those who may become practitioners. characters.
Therefore, Shendujian is a secret institution specially used by His Majesty the Emperor and the two prime ministers who are under one person and over ten thousand people to monitor officials and practitioners.
Furthermore, all the full-time officials of the Shendu Prison are "war orphans", children of generals and sergeants who died in battle. ruthless.
Therefore, in the eyes of most officials and practitioners, Shendujian is even more terrifying than Jiantiansi.
Mo Qinggong is now in a study in Shendujian. Unlike before, his chubby body exudes a faint smell of blood, and there is no smile on his greasy face, only a faint smile. evil spirit.
This kind of breath even caused some autumn insects that often existed in the surrounding courtyards to escape without a trace.
It was Supervisor Tiansi and Chief Yesi who made him feel so bad.
Yesterday, Ye Sishou beheaded Zhao Zhan, the seventh apprentice of Jian Furnace, and removed a thorn in the throat for Da Qin. This is something that every Qin person is proud of. However, there is now definite evidence that at that time Murong Cheng, an official of the Shendu Supervisor, did not die in the hands of Zhao Zhan, but was killed by her.
The presence of Shendujian officials was to monitor the progress of the officials of the other divisions. Murongcheng was also a very promising practitioner. , They didn't even treat the wound on Murong Cheng's body.
This means that they don't bother to hide anything.
Director Ye Ce Leng Ye is too arrogant and domineering!
What made him even more angry was that Zhao Zhan's identity was originally monitored by their gods. Although Zhao Zhan died, there were still three disciples of Zhao Jianlu's true biography. The prisoner's plan, after killing Zhao Zhan, would use the method of exposing the corpse in the downtown area to attract more Zhao's remnants. By default, this undoubtedly made a lot of efforts and subsequent arrangements of Shendujian all in vain.
At this moment, with several rhythmic knocks on the door, Qin Huaishu walked into the room and walked to his desk.
"Ask clearly?"
Mo Qinggong raised his head, suppressed some anger, and asked in a low voice.
Qin Huaishu nodded respectfully, and said directly: "Fang Hou's mansion has given a clear answer. Although the young man from Wutongluo Wine Shop has excellent aptitude, he is a rare yang that cannot be returned."
Mo Qinggong frowned in a bad mood, "What is a body that cannot be returned from hyperactivity?"
"A physique with excessive yang energy." Qin Huaishu explained in detail: "The qi in the five internal organs of this physique is countless times stronger than that of ordinary people, but it burns too violently like a torch. During the period, the five decays in the body have already occurred."
Mo Qinggong's face turned ugly: "To put it simply, is the false fire too strong, burning essence and blood?"
"The meaning is the same, but the ordinary excessive fire and burning blood can be cured, but this kind of constitution can't even be cured by Fang Xiumu, or even if there are such elixir and treasures, it is not worth using on him. "Qin Huaishu nodded, and there were sympathy and regret in his eyes, because he knew very well how difficult it is for an ordinary person to get into the eyes of those real big shots.
In a sense, the young man from Wutongluo already had the potential to reach the sky in one step, but because of his physical problems, he was doomed to continue to survive in that kind of dilapidated street.
Mo Qinggong has been sitting in a prominent position for many years, so he is naturally not as emotional as Qin Huaishu who is still struggling to climb up.
Since it is impossible to become a practitioner, it means that the young man cannot be useful to the Shendu prison, so he just shook his head slightly, and then threw the young man's preparation paper aside for special use. In the brazier where the files were burned.
The scarlet flames licked the edge of the brazier like a snake letter, Mo Qinggong was silent for a few breaths, but Qin Huaishu did not leave immediately as he expected, so he looked up at Qin Huaishu again.
"My lord, there is a problem with Murong Cheng's identity." Qin Huaishu continued, his voice became lower, and if he wasn't careful, he couldn't even hear it clearly.
Mo Qinggong suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and said puzzledly: "Although Murong Cheng is not familiar with us usually, we know his family background very well, so what's the problem?"
Qin Huaishu said: "There is nothing wrong with his origin, but he just made a marriage agreement with Xuhou's Mansion a few days ago. If there is no accident, he will probably enter Xuhou's Mansion this winter."
"Join the Marquis Xu Mansion?"
Mo Qinggong's pupils contracted violently unconsciously, and a strong chill surged in his heart.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, there was only one way to obtain the title of Marquis, and that was by virtue of military merit.
Enjoy the taxation of ten thousand households, and one thousand hectares of fertile land will be the marquis.
Three hundred households need to kill two thousand enemies, and how much military merit is needed for ten thousand households, even a person who doesn't know how to calculate can estimate that terrifying number in his heart.
Therefore, there are only thirteen people in the Great Qin Dynasty who are qualified to be called marquises.
The thirteen princes of the two phases and two divisions, these thirteen princes, the two chiefs of Jiantiansi and Shendujian, and two mysterious and powerful prime ministers are the top existences of this powerful dynasty.
A wry smile slowly appeared on the corner of Mo Qinggong's mouth.
He grabbed the file in front of him again and threw it into the brazier beside him.
Regardless of the tallest person in the Shendu Prison, Sishou Chen sitting in the quiet room at the innermost part of the Shendu Prison has no idea about Murong Cheng's entry into Xuhou's Mansion. Since this matter has already involved Chief Chen and the Xuhou Mansion, it is meaningless for him to be angry and dissatisfied with Ye Ce Leng because of this matter.
…
The rain continued.
It was past the normal lunch time, and the limited number of customers in the wine shop had already left. Ding Ning moved a bamboo chair and sat down under the eaves of the entrance, and then began to eat noodles while watching the rain.
The noodles are pickled fish slice noodles. The snow-white fish fillets and noodles are mixed together in a messy way. With a layer of light and clear oily sheen, people feel that the taste must be good at first glance.
Ding Ning finished eating in a leisurely manner, drank most of the noodle soup, and after washing the noodle bowls, he greeted the eldest grandson Qianxue in the backyard, changed into a pair of old straw sandals, opened an old umbrella and went into the In the rain curtain.
At the alley where Wutong falls, a caravan passed by him, and several drivers in coir raincoats habitually muttered and cursed at the weather.
Ding Ning smiled slightly.
It is not pleasant to drive in the rain in the streets full of chicken manure and poop smell, but this sudden heavy rain is like a godsend to him.
The rain can cover many people's sight and perception, wash away many traces, and make this opportunity he waited so hard for even more perfect.
So even though his straw sandals were wet and uncomfortable, his mood was really happy.
With a happy mood, he walked towards the fish market on the edge of Changling East City.
A huge Wei River passes through the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty and flows into the East China Sea. This huge river not only nourishes most of the farmland of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also allows the ships of the Great Qin Dynasty to open up navigation routes with overseas island countries. Get some rare treasures overseas.
When the huge Weihe River arrived at Changling, it dispersed into several tributaries. The source can be traced back to the edge of the Great Qin Dynasty, the wild land of Bashan.
Changling Fish Market is located on the banks of the Dongqing River, the smallest tributary of the Weihe River in the east of the city.
This small river, which is less than ten meters wide, has been cut off in the middle due to the need for farmland reclamation. Some parts in the city have become fish ponds, and some markets have been built on it.
All these bazaars themselves are just water collections with some ships that are no longer able to drive. However, over the years, countless shantytowns have been built on both sides of the strait. There are countless hidden passages, and even between the water surface and the mud pond, many stilted buildings have been built. Some simple wooden roads, sampans, some small boats below, and even slightly larger wooden basins have become the traffic inside. Tools, which made this place even more intricate and intricate like cobwebs in the gutter.
Especially when the sky is not very bright, looking from the heights on both banks to the lower part of the market center, the dark market in the lower part of the center is like a ghost town built in the abyss, full of will-o'-the-wisps and ghostly shadows.
This endless market is the fish market. Apart from fish, there are not only ordinary people, but also everything that most practitioners can imagine.
