Chapter 150: Full of Treasures [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

At this time, Zheng Kan was enjoying dance and music at home, with dancers dancing gracefully in front of the hall.

His eyes wandered around, obscene and greedy.

Zheng Kan was not worried at all about the people he sent out. They were just going to kill a few fishermen. If they couldn't do that well, they would just die.

It was just that several fishermen had died suddenly, and it was a major case, so he needed to bribe the prison officer again to make it an unsolved case. The prison officer of Liangjiang Prefecture was notoriously greedy and difficult to deal with, so Zheng Kan wanted to ask Huang Yuancheng for help.

Unexpectedly, Huang Yuancheng refused to help.

Why are you pretending to be noble?
I must ask my uncle in Shendu to do something about it someday, and remove him as the garrison general to teach him a lesson.

Before Zheng Kan left, he left the silver in the general's mansion as a hook. When needed, the thousand taels of silver could be used as a knife to stab Huang Yuancheng to death.

"What a bunch of unruly people." Zheng Kan muttered angrily.

After all, wouldn't it have been better if the fisherman's girl had obeyed me at that time?
She wasn't necessarily more beautiful than the singing and dancing girls in his house, but his family had been living on too much of a bed of roses and wanted to find some different excitement.

Who knew she was so strong-willed and jumped directly into the water, but she was such a poor swimmer that she drowned so quickly.

This is why so many things happened later.

He was used to being rampant in Liangjiang Prefecture. At this moment, he did not regret forcing others, but hated others for not obeying him. As for killing the group of fishermen, he only calculated how much money would be needed for the subsequent processing, and did not care about those lives at all.

A few civilians, just die.

He is not short of money. He has been managing the business for Marquis Haidong in Liangjiang Prefecture over the years. His wealth, like his body, has long been fat.

In his early years, Haidong Marquis Jiang Hao raised military pay and transported money and food for the Northwest War, and later developed the royal business in Dongzhou, which was a great contribution. In recent years, he has been enjoying himself in Longyuan City, leaving his family affairs to his sons and nephews. Liangjiang Prefecture, the center of water transport, is a place he values ​​very much.

Zheng Kan's father followed Haidong Hou in his early years and later died to protect the marquis, so Haidong Hou took him with him and raised him. In name, they were nephews, but in fact, their relationship was almost like that of foster father and son, so Haidong Hou trusted him so much and let Zheng Kan take charge of Liangjiang Prefecture.

In Longyuan City, he might have to keep a low profile, but in Liangjiang Prefecture, he has such a powerful backer that he can act recklessly.

He also felt that the good life was the result of his father's death, and that he deserved it.

While enjoying the singing and dancing, the manager came forward from an inconspicuous corner. Zheng Kan immediately understood that the killer he sent out had finished his job.

The steward approached his fat and big-eared face and whispered a few words to him.

"They're back?" Zheng Kan said with displeasure, "Didn't we tell them to take the money and leave after they've finished their work?"

"The killer said he had something important to report to you, young master." said the steward.

"Hmph." Zheng Kan stood up unhappily and followed the steward to the side hall, waving his hands as he walked, "I'll be back soon, you guys continue playing music..."

When I arrived at the side hall, I saw that the leader of the assassins was still wearing black clothes and a mask, but only two of the seven or eight assassins behind him were left.

"Did an accident happen?" Zheng Kan asked.

The assassin leader looked at him, a trace of pity in his eyes, and nodded heavily: "Well, what a surprise!"

Zheng Kan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

At this time, a masked man behind the assassin leader spoke up, "You raped a good woman but failed, and instead killed her. You also colluded with the government officials and the prison to suppress the case. The villagers refused and wanted to file a complaint with the God Capital, but you actually wanted to send people to kill them directly. Zheng Kan, do you never fear justice when you do these things?"

"Are you sick?" Zheng Kan cursed back and asked the assassin leader, "Where did you find these men? Why are they assassins with such a strong sense of justice?"

"We just met..." The assassin leader smiled awkwardly.

"Huh?" Zheng Kan turned his head and realized something was wrong.

Then he saw the man in black on the opposite side kicking out with lightning speed, hitting the center of his legs.

There are only a few weak points on Zheng Kan's plump body, whose fat can almost form a perfect defense, and this is undoubtedly the weakest one.

Click.

The crisp sound of an eggshell cracking was heard in the air, and then Zheng Kan's huge body flew into the air, flew more than ten feet backwards, and hit the wall heavily.

Boom!

The whole side hall trembled.

After leaving a wide oil print on the wall, Zheng Kan fell to the ground with a bang.

"Young Master!" The guards outside the hall had never expected this scene. Seeing this, they rushed forward to protect him, but stopped as soon as they took a step.

Thousands of sword lights crashed through the roof and poured down. Every guard was surrounded by dozens of sword lights and was trapped in the sword prison in an instant, not daring to move.

The two disguised killers were Liang Yue and Wu Xiaoqi, while Wen Yifan was supporting them from the outside.

Now that Zheng Kan has been captured, they no longer pretend.

Naturally, there were also priests with higher cultivation in the mansion. They rushed over immediately when they saw that something was wrong, but they saw Wen Yifan with fluttering sleeves on the roof. They made a sword gesture with their hand and pointed at the distance, and the ancient sword Qingqiu turned into thousands of lights and shadows.

"A disciple of Xuanmen?" The priest hesitated immediately, stopped and waited.

He was a Qi-refining practitioner working in this mansion purely for the sake of money. It would be unnecessary if he provoked orthodox Xuanmen disciples for this.

Zheng Kan was lying on the ground, holding little Zheng Kan with both hands. His body was twitching constantly and tears were streaming down his face. "Who are you? How dare you break into my Zheng family residence and hurt me... my vital parts? You are so bold!"

"How dare you?" Liang Yue walked over step by step. "You bully men and women, kill people and set fires, and you are not afraid of anything. You still say that others are bold? I think you are the one who is really bold."

"I...my uncle is Marquis Haidong, and I work for him, don't you know?" Zheng Kan struggled to get up and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you hit me..." Bang.

Liang Yue responded by kicking him in the lower abdomen, which dispersed all his energy. This way, Zheng Kan's huge body had no more strength left and he could only fall to the ground.

“Ah…” Zheng Kan panted, a hoarse sound coming from his throat, “I was talking while you were hitting me…”

"Is Marquis Haidong very great?" Liang Yue held up a token.

Zheng Kan saw it and was speechless.

There are three big characters "Zhu Xie Si" written on it.

Haidong Hou was indeed remarkable. Although he did not hold any real power, he was highly respected among the royal family and could speak directly to the emperor. He also had a wide network of contacts in the court. Because of the cooperation in the past, he had good relations with many civil officials and military generals.

There are not many people in the court who dare not give him face.

Kezhuxiesi happens to be one of them.

The people in the Evil-Punishment Office don't give face to anyone.

Wu Xiaoqi came over and said, "We have other things to do. It's not easy to deal with him with the identity of Zhuxie Si, and it's easy to be exposed if he is sent to the government..."

Listening to his words, Zheng Kan nodded repeatedly, "Why not just let me go..."

At this time, Wen Yifan's voice floated over, "Why not just kill him?"

"Huh?" Zheng Kan shuddered.

"Killing him directly would be too easy for him. Send someone to take him back to the capital and send him to the Ministry of Justice." Liang Yue had already thought of a way to deal with him. "I believe that Lord Zuo Xiang knows how to use him."

“No…” Zheng Kan cried miserably while lying on the ground, “We have no grudges against each other. If you leave, I can give you money! Please, spare me.”

"When those who are oppressed by you beg you for mercy, will you let them go?" Liang Yue suddenly asked back.

Snapped!
Without waiting for Zheng Kan to answer, he struck him with a backhand knife, knocking him unconscious.

The reason for not killing him is that we want to find out more from him.

He has been domineering for so many years, and this is definitely not the only evil thing he has done.

Moreover, one might be able to dig out some information about the officials in Liangjiang Prefecture, or even the Marquis of Haidong in Longyuan City, from him, which would be far more valuable than letting him die directly.

It can be said that as long as this Zheng Kan falls into Liang Fuguo's hands, it will be full of treasures.

The leader of the assassins had quietly moved to the window when they were taking action. Seeing that their attention was on Zheng Kan, he found an opportunity, turned around, climbed out of the window, and was about to escape.

But before he could take three steps away, a sword beam as fast as lightning suddenly pierced through his body.

"what……"

The killer leader, whose hands were stained with countless blood, also died with his eyes wide open, refusing to close them.

……

The Zheng family's affairs were dealt with quickly. Zheng Kan was brought out and handed over to the people from the Zhuxie Yamen to be transported back. They then came to the outside of the general's mansion again.

"The monsters in the mansion have a very strong yin energy, and they may come from the Xuanming Sea. When a water monster has not yet achieved great success in its cultivation, it must return to the water to recuperate regularly. It is very likely that it usually transforms into a human form and hides in the mansion, and then soaks in the lake at night." Wen Yifan knew more about the monsters, so he told the two of them.

In ancient times, humans and demons were separated, and a total of four major demon lands were created.

They are Mangcang Mountain, Xuanming Sea, Baihu City and Junyan Island.

Among them, the Xuanming Sea is located to the north of the Northland. It is the gathering place of sea creatures and water monsters, and has the least intersection with the human race in Kyushu.

After all, the other demonic lands are at least on land.

Because of this, it is a very strange thing that a monster from the Xuanming Sea appeared in the general's mansion guarding a city in Zhongzhou.

"Is there any way to make the monster appear?" Liang Yue asked.

The reason for this question is that once a monster changes shape and hides its demonic aura, it is difficult to tell the difference between it and humans. If it does not take the initiative to do something that will reveal its demonic aura, it is impossible to tell it apart with the naked eye or spiritual consciousness.

There are magic mirrors hanging on all four sides of Longyuan City to ensure that no monsters can enter the city gate. However, magic tools like magic mirrors are extremely rare and there are not many left in the world.

Wen Yifan took out a bundle of silver needles and said, "I have a box of demon-revealing needles here that can identify demons."

"How to distinguish?" Liang Yue looked at it carefully.

"If you insert this needle into a human's body, if it's a human, they will faint immediately. Even a cultivator will feel poisoned and dizzy. But if it's a demon, they will not be affected at all." Wen Yifan said.

"Huh?" Liang Yue wondered, "Why does this thing sound like it's targeting the human race?"

Wen Yifan said: "In fact, it is a kind of drug that targets humans. The demonic energy can naturally detoxify this poison, so demons are not afraid of it at all. After the seniors of the Danding School discovered this property, they applied it here."

"The wisdom of our ancestors is truly endless." Liang Yue sighed.

This demon needle doesn't sound as useful as the demon mirror, after all, you can't give a needle to everyone you pass by. But if you have a specific target, it can still be very useful.

He put away the needle bag and said with a smile: "Then I will go to the general's mansion tomorrow to try and see where the monster is hiding!"
