Chapter 6 Timing
The heavy rain stopped suddenly, and most people in Changling breathed a sigh of relief. The sunny weather that they usually get tired of watching seemed to become particularly friendly. Many caravans seized time to deal with the damp goods. However, unexpectedly, after noon, the sky became hazy again, and then a rain quickly enveloped the entire Changling.
The rain was not as violent as last night, but it was very lingering and drizzling, and it could not stop for a moment.
The misty rain and the sky between the streets and alleys are once again as if countless layers of yarn are covered with can't be seen clearly.
In the south of Changling City, there is a building that looks like a Taoist temple on the outside, covering an area of dozens of acres.
The Qin Dynasty was highly rewarded. If you can get one enemy's armor, you can get one level of reward. You can get nine acres of houses, and beheaded for 2,000 levels, and you can even enjoy taxes of 300 families.
Therefore, most of Changling's houses and even the courtyards of ordinary soldiers are surprisingly large when looking at them. The entire Changling also expanded outwards. This building located in the south of Changling City is really not big.
However, except for a few big figures deep in the palace, all the powerful and powerful people of the Great Qin Dynasty were deeply wary and fearful of this place.
Because this is the location of the Godhead.
The Qin Dynasty mainly relied on the Jiantian Department to investigate and handle cases. There were thousands of official officials in various places in the Jiantian Department, and there were countless diners under each official's own disciples. In addition, there were no need to report to the other departments of various major cases, and they went directly to Tianting. Therefore, the power of the Jiantian Department has always been above the other departments.
However, the Shendujian is also an alien among them.
There are only 100 registered officials in the Shendu Supervisor, but only one-tenth of the Supervisor Tiansi Department is usually only responsible for investigation and surveillance work. However, the targets of investigation and surveillance are all kinds of officials, practitioners, and figures who may become practitioners.
Therefore, the Shendujian is a secret institution dedicated to supervising officials and practitioners who are under the Emperor and the two prime ministers under one person and above ten thousand people.
Furthermore, all the official officials in the Shendu Supervisor are "fighting orphans", all the generals who died in battle and the children of soldiers. These people do not have much concern and will not be threatened by others, so they are often more cruel and ruthless.
Therefore, in the eyes of most officials and practitioners, Shendujian is even more terrifying than the Jiantiansi.
Mo Qing Palace was in a study room in the Shendujian at this moment. Unlike before, his slightly fat body emitted a faint smell of blood. There was no smile on his oily face, only a faint evil aura.
This breath even caused some autumn insects that often exist in the surrounding courtyards to escape without a trace.
The one who made him feel so bad was Jiantiansi and Yeshi.
Yesterday, Ye Sishou killed Zhao Zhan, the seventh disciple of the Sword Furnace with a sword, and pulled out a thorn in the throat for Daqin. This is something that every Qin people are proud of. However, there is now definite evidence that Murong Cheng, an official of the Shendu Supervisory Commission present at that time, did not die in the hands of Zhao Zhan, but was killed by her.
The presence of the Shendu Supervisor officials plays a role in supervising the affairs of other officials. Murong City is also a promising practitioner. After killing Murong City, whether it is the Yeshi Head or the other worshipers of the Jiantian Secretariat, they did not even deal with the wounds on Murong City's body.
This means they simply disdain to hide anything.
Ye Ce Leng Ye Shi, I am too arrogant and domineering!
What made him even more angry was that Zhao Zhan's identity was originally discovered by their Shendu Supervisor. Although Zhao Zhan was dead, there were three true disciples of Zhao Jianlu, and there were no one knowing how many Zhao remnants existed behind him. According to the Shendu Supervisor's plan, after killing Zhao Zhan, he would use the method of exposing the corpses in the downtown area to lead to more Zhao remnants. However, Ye Celen did not know what measures he had taken to actually make the decision to bury Zhao Zhan with great difficulty and directly obtained the default of His Majesty. This undoubtedly turned many of the efforts and subsequent arrangements of Shendu Supervisor's efforts into flowing water.
At this moment, with several rhythmic knocks on the door, Qin Huaishu walked into the room and walked to his desk.
"Are you asking clearly?"
Mo Qinggong raised his head, suppressed some anger, and asked in a low voice.
Qin Huaishu nodded respectfully and said directly: "The Fang Hou Mansion has given a clear reply. Although the young man from Wutong Lost Wine Shop has excellent qualifications, he is a rare yang-hypertensive person who is hard to return to."
Mo Qinggong frowned in a bad mood, "What does it mean to be an yang that is hard to return to?"
"A constitution with excessive yang energy." Qin Huaishu explained in detail: "The energy of the five internal organs in this body is countless times stronger than that of ordinary people. However, if the torch burns too violently, this constitution has already declined in the body during the middle age of ordinary people."
Mo Qinggong's face looked a little ugly: "To put it simply, is the virtual fire too strong and burning essence and blood?"
"The meaning is similar, but the ordinary virtual fire is too strong, and burning essence and blood can help cure it. This physique is not even a way to make a square embroidery curtain, or even if there are such spiritual medicines and treasures, it is not worth using it on him." Qin Huaishu nodded, and there was also sympathy and regret in his eyes, because he knew very well how difficult it would be for an ordinary person to enter the eyes of those real big men.
In a sense, the young man who fell in Wutong had the potential to reach the sky, but because of his physical condition, he was destined to continue to survive in the dilapidated streets and alleys.
Mo Qing Palace has been sitting in a prominent position for many years, so naturally he did not feel as emotional as Qin Huaishu, who was still climbing up with difficulty.
Since it is impossible to become a practitioner, it means that the young man cannot become a useful person to the Shendu Supervisor. So he just shook his head slightly and threw the young man's preparatory paper into a brazier specially used to burn the case file.
The scarlet flames were like snakes licking the edge of the brazier. 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.
"Sir, Murong Cheng's identity is problematic." Qin Huaishu continued, and his voice became lower. If he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't even hear clearly.
Mo Qinggong suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said in confusion: "Although Murong City is not familiar with us normally, we also know his family background very well. What problems can we have?"
Qin Huaishu said: "There is no problem with his background, but he just made a marriage with the Xu Hou Mansion a few days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably marry into the Xu Hou Mansion this winter."
"Go to the Xu Hou Mansion?"
Mo Qinggong's pupils unconsciously contracted violently, and a strong chill surged in his heart.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, there was only one way to obtain title of marquis, that is, relying on military merits.
Enjoy taxes from tens of thousands of households, and only a thousand hectares of fertile land can be a marquis.
Three hundred households need to kill two thousand enemies. How many military merits are required for ten thousand households? Even those who don’t know how to calculate can figure out the terrifying number in their hearts.
Therefore, there were only thirteen people who were qualified to be a marquis in the Qin Dynasty.
The two ministers and the thirteen marquises, these thirteen kings and marquises, the two chiefs of the sect, the Shendu Supervisor, and two mysterious and powerful prime ministers, are the top of this powerful dynasty.
A bitter smile slowly appeared on the corner of Mo Qinggong's mouth.
He grabbed a case file in front of him and threw it into the brazier beside him.
Regardless of whether Chen Sishou, who is the highest figure in the Shendu Supervisor, was clear about whether Murong City married into the Xu Hou Mansion or not, whether Chen Sishou had any intentional arrangements, since this matter had already involved Chen Sishou and Xu Hou Mansion, he would have no meaning to be angry and dissatisfied with Ye Ce because of this matter.
...
The rain continues to fall.
It was past the normal lunch time, and a few guests in the wine shop had left. Ding Ning moved a bamboo chair and sat down under the eaves at the door, and then started eating noodles while watching the rain.
The noodles are sauerkraut fish noodles. The snow-white fish fillets and noodles are mixed in a mess. The fish fillets are not too neat and look nothing good. However, the amount of sauerkraut is not only sufficient, but also looks very tasty. The noodle soup is very thick, and there is a light and clear oily layer on the surface, which makes people feel that the taste must be very good at first glance.
Ding Ning finished eating without any haste. After drinking most of the noodle soup, washed the noodles, he greeted Changsun Qianxue in the backyard, changed into the old straw sandals, put on an old umbrella and walked into the rain curtain.
At the alley where Wutong fell, a caravan passed by him. Several carriages wearing straw raincoats muttered habitually and cursed a few times.
Ding Ning smiled slightly.
It is indeed not a pleasant thing to rush in the rain in the streets and alleys filled with chicken manure and floating smells, but this sudden heavy rain was like a gift to him.
The rain can cover up the sight and perception of many people, wash away many traces, and make the opportunity he finally waited for becomes more perfect.
So even though his straw sandals were wet and not very comfortable, he was in a really happy mood.
With a happy mood, he walked towards the fish market on the edge of the east city of Changling.
A huge Wei River flows through the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty and flows into the East China Sea. This huge river not only nourishes most of the farmlands of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also allows the ships of the Great Qin Dynasty to open up routes to navigate with overseas island countries, and even allows some practitioners to obtain some rare treasures from overseas.
The huge Wei River was scattered into several tributaries when it arrived in Changling, and its source can be traced back to the edge of the Great Qin Dynasty and the wilderness of Bashan.
Changling Fish Market is located on both sides of the Dongqing River, the smallest tributary of the Wei River in the east of the city.
This small river, which is only more than ten meters wide, has been cut off from the waist due to the need for farmland reclamation. Some of the parts located in the city have become fish ponds, while some have built markets on it.
All these markets themselves are just water gatherings with some unmovable ships as trading venues. However, over the years, countless shanty towns have been built on both sides of the shore. The roofs and signs of these shanty towns cover the sky and the sun, and countless passages are hidden high and low. Even between the water surface and the mud pond, many stilt houses have been built, some simple wooden roads, sampans, some small boats below, and even slightly larger wooden basins have become means of transportation here, which has made this place as complicated as the interwebs in the gutter.
Especially when the sky is not very bright, looking from the high places on both sides of the shore to the lower part of the market center, the market in the darkness at the low point in the center is like a ghost realm built in the abyss, with many ghost fires and ghost shadows.
This market that can’t be seen at a glance is a fish market. In addition to fish, it is not only ordinary people, but also what most practitioners can imagine.
