Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 80

"Have you encountered Black Mountain bandits outside the city?"

In the hall of the mansion, Miao Jiafeng, who was wearing an official robe, asked in a deep voice.

Below, Bantou Dong was carried back; Bantou Zhang had a bruised nose and swollen face, like a pig's head... As for the more than 20 guards, almost all of them were wounded, muddy and in a state of embarrassment.

At the first moment, Miao Jiafeng thought: Could it be that the two masters of Heishanzhai had already rushed over and were going to Laoqiuzhuang to take revenge, and then happened to bump into Dong Bantou and his party on the road, and the two sides fought...

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong.

First of all, the timeline does not match;

Secondly, even if the black bandits are rampant, they shouldn't have clashed with the guards at this juncture.

The collusion between Miao Jiafeng and the Heishan bandits, this kind of collusion between officials and bandits, naturally cannot be put on the table and cannot be seen, but there is a tacit understanding between them.

So he asked again, "How many are there?"

"One."

"On a?"

Prefect Miao was stunned for a moment, wondering if he heard it wrong.

"Yes, there is only one person, wearing a black robe, a black scarf covering his face, and holding a simple knife."

Zhang Bantou quickly described the other party's appearance characteristics to the adults.

Miao Jiafeng's face became gloomy, and he quickly figured it out: What a Qiu, play this trick with me?
He sent guards to Fengyuelai Trading Company, and then to Laoqiuzhuang to arrest people, under the banner of the government's decree, if the other party resisted the arrest, it would be tantamount to rebellion.

Resisting arrest and rebellion is a serious crime, which is completely different from trafficking and smuggling.

At that point, Miao Jiafeng could do a lot more.

Unexpectedly, the Qiu family had already had a countermeasure, and directly intercepted him outside the city and beat him back.

So who is this person pretending to be a Black Bandit?Is it Qiu's hidden master?

Dong Bantou and Zhang Bantou, who belong to the main manpower of the government office, are now all disabled, and will not be able to travel on business in a short period of time.

There are other team leaders in the government office. The problem is that if the other party makes one shot, he can also make a second shot.With the strength of these team leaders and yamen servants, they will be given away as many as they go.

It has to be said that this kind of tactic is simple and crude, but it is quite effective. In the name of "Black Mountain Bandit", let the dumb officials in the government eat Coptis chinensis, there is no place to reason.

"No, there is a reason..."

Miao Jiafeng's eyes brightened, and he thought of an excellent plan: Since there are black mountain bandits on the outskirts of the city, this matter is no small matter, and the army must be mobilized to suppress the bandits.

Now, Qiu Bugui, the captain, was seriously injured and dying, and the military camp was commanded by a lieutenant general, and in the world, which lieutenant general would not want to be the chief general?

At this time, it was the opportunity for Miao Zhifu to intervene in the military officer system.

"Okay, I will let you be clever and be mistaken by cleverness..."

With a wave of his hand, Miao Jiafeng told the squad leaders to step down.

Everyone hurriedly left the government office, and outside the door, the two team leaders met together and whispered: "Old Zhang, do you think that is really a black bandit?"

Zhang Ban grinned his teeth with a headache: "If it is a black mountain bandit, can we come back alive?"

Dong Bantou said in horror: "Then they are from the Qiu family?"

Zhang Bantou said: "[-]% of the time, people are merciful. All in all, when the gods fight, we suffer. After this accident, we can just hide at home and recuperate. Anyway, my injury will take at least more than a month to heal. "

Dong Ban took a look at him, and immediately said: "You have been raised for a month, but my hands and feet are broken, so I have to take care of him for three months."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go, let's go to heal our wounds together."

Zaoli servants are well-known old fritters among the public. They are as greedy as wolves to ordinary people, and as cunning as oil to their superiors. Although they don't read much, they are best at provoking tricks and know how to turn the tide.

The current situation is very obvious, that is, the prefect of Miao and the Qiu family are fighting against each other, and neither side is good.

The prefect of Miao is a newcomer. Although he is strong, he lacks the foundation of local personnel;But after all, it has been operating in Lingnan for many years. It is not so easy to control people and money.

……

After the beating was over, Qiu Bujuan went back to the village and said, "These squad leaders are too bad to be vulnerable. Xiao Lang, do you think they will come again?"

Chen Jin replied: "There are a lot of guards in the government office. It is said that there are hundreds of them. If you run away one group, you may send another group."

Qiu Buzhuan's eyes lit up: "It's just right, come and fight one by one, come and fight a group."

Chen Jin smiled: "Little aunt, we have to beware of other people."

"Who?"

"Black bandit."

Qiu Bujuan asked: "You mean, the bandits from Montenegro will also come?"

Chen Jin nodded: "I killed their people, they will not let it go."

Qiu Bujuan didn't panic at all: "Come whenever you want, I won't show mercy to these thieves, and I'm about to avenge my eldest brother."

Chen Jin reminded: "Don't patronize killing, you have to pay attention to protecting grandpa and uncle."

"how about you?"

"I might have to go into town again."

Qiu Buzhu asked: "What are you doing in the city at this time?"

Chen Jin replied: "I work in the Patrol Division and have been absent from work for a few days."

Qiu Bujuan said disapprovingly: "I'm going to be assigned a civil job, what can I do? And with the current situation, you can't leave Zhuangzi easily."

Chen Jin sighed: "In fact, I have other tasks when I go to the city, such as finding out the reality of the Miao prefect, or finding out other important information, and so on."

When Qiu Bujuan heard it, she felt that it made sense. All of them stayed in the villa for a long time, and they would appear very passive.

At this time, people really need to go out to inspect the situation.

Only Chen Jin is the right candidate.

"Then you should be more careful, don't get into trouble, I want to break into the city to save you!"

"Ha, I can't fight, but I can run."

Hearing that he was going to enter the city, Qiu Bugui didn't stop him, but got up and wrote two letters in his own handwriting, letting Chen Jin pass on to others if he had the opportunity;
Qiu Bulai directly handed him a stack of banknotes: "Xiao Lang, at this time, I need to take care of favors and spend money. Don't save money, just spend it. Second uncle, I have nothing else but to make money."

Gu Leyou said: "Scholar, with your ability, even if the capital city is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, you can come and go without me worrying about it. Don't worry, I will guard Zhuangzi for you. If something happens, Xiao Ba will come to you immediately .”

"Thank you."

Chen Jin didn't talk nonsense and went out immediately.The current situation is urgent, we must seize the time.

It didn't take much time to enter the city, and went straight back to the Patrol Siyamen.

Song Xin asked: "Deacon Chen, where have you been these few days? No one is there."

Chen Jin replied: "I have some personal matters to deal with... The outhouse is fine."

"That's not true, but the people in the inner room seem to be quite critical."

Where did Chen Jin have the air traffic control? After saying a few words, he ran to the yamen meeting hall, and told Fan Yan that he wanted to see Mr. Yang.

The fan servant came in and told him that he would come out in a while and let him in.

Goodbye Yang Rong, the governor is drinking tea: "Chen Jin, I heard something happened to your uncle."

"He was ambush by the bandits and was seriously injured."

Chen Jin didn't say anything else. After all, the situation was unclear, and Yang Rong's attitude was quite subtle.

Yang Rong sighed: "I've been away on business, and I just rushed back to the Yamen this morning. I wanted to find some time to visit him in Laoqiuzhuang, so you came here."

"My uncle wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it to your lord."

"okay."

Next, Yang Rong was reading the letter slowly, while Chen Jin sat aside.

After reading it, Yang Rong's expression was as usual: "You go back and tell your uncle to reassure him. The patrol department is not an internal factory, and will not do things like destroying families."

After a pause, he continued: "As far as I know, prefect Miao traveled thousands of miles from Xiangxi to Lingnan, with several aides and masters with him, as well as several powerful guards, including masters from the Xiangxi sect."

Chen Jin's heart trembled, knowing that this was the kindness deliberately released by Yang Rong, so he passed on the information: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for reminding me, I will remember it."

Yang Rong nodded slightly, and picked up the teacup, which meant seeing off the guests.

Chen Jin left immediately.

Watching the handsome figure leave, Yang Rong was thoughtful. The reason why he was willing to see Chen Jin was not because of his friendship with Qiu Bugui, but more because of Chen Jin himself.

Because Chen Jin is Su Xiaowen's student, and Su Xiaowen has been rehabilitated, the Su family is quite powerful now, otherwise, Su Xiaocheng would not be an imperial envoy.

This relationship is layered on top of each other, it's a bit far-fetched to talk about, but when Su Xiaocheng was there, he once mentioned that if Yang Rong had a chance, he would take care of Chen Jinyi or two.

Now, is the opportunity.

Yang Rong felt that Chen Jin had an unusual demeanor. He seemed weak, but he was calm and indifferent far beyond ordinary people.Now that something happened to the Qiu family, it was not Qiu's second child who came out to handle the matter, but Chen Jin, which explained the problem in itself.

I don't know if the Qiu family can overcome the difficulties in front of them this time...

In fact, Yang Rong didn't know the truth about Qiu Bugui's attack, nor did he know why Miao Jiafeng wanted to attack Qiu's all of a sudden.

From the standpoint of Yang Rong's identity, he also believed that Qiu Bugui's accident was an accident, and the seizure of Yuelai Trading Company was Miao Jiafeng's "three fires for new officials". Open up the situation and establish authority.

These things have nothing to do with the Patrol Division.

It is even more impossible for Yang Rong to intervene rashly to help the Qiu family, thus standing on the opposite side of Miao Jiafeng.

What he can do is not to embarrass him, not to add trouble, and that is enough benevolence and righteousness.

Chen Jin left the patrolling department, and he didn't walk very far before he found the "tail" behind him.

It was a servant of the government office, so Miao Jiafeng must have ordered it.

Chen Jin remained calm, turned to the street, mingled with the passers-by, took advantage of the space, and used the invisibility method.

"Huh? What about people?"

"It was clearly still ahead just now."

The two guards in charge of the follow-up were taken aback, and hurriedly searched around separately. They turned around and found nothing. When they came back to meet, they said strangely: "This Chen is just a scholar, how can he run so fast?"

Another said: "Maybe I went to the alley. There are many alleys around here, winding like a maze."

Who knew that Chen Jin was standing a foot away, listening to them quietly.

"The Invisibility Method of Ten Thousand Zhangs of Red Dust" is indeed a wonderful method, and the application scene is too suitable.

Since undergoing the "Thunder Tribulation" training last night, Chen Jin's yin spirit has benefited and jumped to a small level, and the techniques he learned have also been improved at the same time.

"You said, did he find us?"

"should be."

The officer said: "What should we do now? The squad leader ordered us to stay in the patrol department and arrest Chen Jin. Now that he is lost, there is no way to return."

The other thought for a while, and said: "Let's not talk about it, who knows that Chen Jin has come back? Just don't know."

"That's right, let's go back, it's getting dark."

The two returned to the government office shoulder to shoulder.

Chen Jin followed them less than five feet away, and the situation looked rather strange.

When he returned to the gate of the government office, Chen Jin stopped far away.

The layout of the yamen emphasizes a tall and majestic one. There are stone lions sitting at the gate, wind lions and beasts squatting on the ridge of the roof, and there are mirrors hanging high.

These architectural situations will have a great deterrent effect on the caster, and even break the spell.

This is the backlash effect of meditation.

Chen Jin looked at it for a while, then turned and left, turned a corner, and walked into a nearby inn.

"Does the guest officer want to be a top student or stay?"

A waiter came up to greet him warmly.

Chen Jin said, "I want a room, what's for dinner tonight?"

"Just killed a black goat this afternoon, it's very fat."

"Then cut three catties of mutton, stir-fry some good dishes, add a pot of good wine, and bring it to the room in a while."

The waiter in the shop was stunned: "Guest officer, how many people are there?"

Chen Jin said calmly, "Can't I eat alone?"

He threw out a piece of broken silver with a flick of his hand.

The waiter in the shop quickly caught it, smiled broadly, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, please come upstairs!"

Sure enough, it was money that opened the way, and the title was immediately upgraded to "Young Master".No wonder those knights who walk the rivers and lakes like to spend money, after all, everyone likes to receive honorable service.

After entering the room, after waiting for a while, the wine, meat and vegetables were delivered.

Chen Jin was already hungry, so he immediately let go of his stomach to eat.The skills of the cooks in this inn can only be said to be average, but the ingredients are fresh.The wine is also considered honest, at least not mixed with water.

After eating and drinking enough, the shop waiter came up to clean up and brought hot water and so on.

After dealing with some trivial matters in life, Chen Jin closed the door, sat on the bed, adjusted his breath and exercised his kung fu.

Time passed, and when it was midnight, he opened his eyes in the dark and listened attentively. It was actually raining lightly outside.

Chen Jin got up, took out a set of dark clothes, put on a mask, and a bamboo hat.

Here, I have to praise the magical effect of "Pot of Heaven", otherwise, how can I bring so many things without anyone noticing?

Really convenient.

Dressed neatly, opening the window, the man flew down like a bird, crossed the street, and soon came to the outside of the government office, jumped up and went straight to the roof.

Flying over the eaves and walking on the wall, nothing more.

After a while, Chen Jin had already arrived at the back house, and first leaned on the roof to observe.

There are lanterns hanging in the corridor below, illuminating the light. As for the inside of the house, it is dark and the people inside have probably fallen asleep.

There was silence all around, only the sound of rain.

After observing for a while, he found nothing unusual. He floated down, thinking about starting with that house first.

Huh!

A black shadow, like a huge bat, swooped down from the top of the corridor, with a pair of claws straight into Chen Jintian's spiritual cover.
