Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 230 The Empress Dowager's Means
Wanfu.

"Have you still not found Duan Tianjian?"

Wan Sanqian has always been doing things by cutting grass and roots so as not to leave any future troubles. This time Duan Tianjian died without a corpse, which made him very worried. If Duan Tianjian survived, after he recovered from his injuries, he would be the first one to look for. With Duan Tianzang's martial arts, he will definitely be targeted, and the possibility of Wan Sanqian meeting Hades is very high.

"Lord Wan, this time Duan Tianjian was hit by Ba Dao's unfeeling slash. It is absolutely impossible to think that he will survive. Maybe he was eaten by a big fish in the river, and that's why he didn't find it."

"Isn't the number one magician in the world able to calculate his life and death?" Wan Sanqian asked, he also thought about this possibility, but as long as he thinks that there might be a super expert who might be watching him secretly, Wan Sanqian's heart is full of tears. Very disturbed, he must make sure that Duan Tianjian is dead.

"Senior Tianji said that even Liu Bowen, who is very resourceful, can't do such a thing of life and death. The only thing he can predict is that after 20 years, Duan Tianjian will return to the underworld."

"..." Wan Sanqian was still frowning. After 20 years, the day lily was cold, and after hearing these words, Duan Tianjian didn't die.

"Which master in the world is most suitable to be a bodyguard?" Wan Sanqian asked instead, since he couldn't find any trace of Duan Tianjian, he had to change his mind and find some reliable bodyguards for himself. Personally protect your own safety.

"The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi."

"The four ghosts of Xiangxi? Where are these sacred? The name sounds so creepy." According to Wan Sanqian's own understanding, people in Jianghu get their nicknames based on their characteristics. Usually, those with the word "ghost" in their nicknames, None of them are righteous people.

"The four ghosts of Xiangxi are not ordinary. They are four seniors with strong martial arts. The four of them are of extremely high seniority. All major martial arts sects have invited them to participate in the martial arts conference, but because the four ghosts of Xiangxi never come out of Xiangxi, they have no success." , This also led to the low reputation of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi in the Jianghu. What they practice is a peerless martial art called "Phantom Magic". It is said that only the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi have mastered it for thousands of years , the reason why it is called the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi is because this martial art is like a ghost."

"Be specific."

"Yes, "Phantom Magic" is a set of kung fu that concentrates defense and attack. Anyone who is entangled in it, no matter what kind of kung fu is used, will disappear into nothingness. That's why it is also called the "Four Immortal Ghosts of Xiangxi". Master Wan wants If you are looking for a bodyguard, the Xiangxi Four Ghosts are definitely the best candidates."

"You mean they never leave Xiangxi?"

"Yes, it is said that they have never set foot outside the boundary of Xiangxi, and they do not want to intersect with the martial arts in the Central Plains. Therefore, I am afraid that Master Wan will need to spend more time thinking about inviting the four out of the mountain."

"You immediately send people to investigate the situation of the four ghosts in western Hunan. Seven days, no, ten days, I will give you ten days. Within ten days, I want to know everything about the four ghosts in western Hunan."

"Yes!"

"By the way, news came from Suzhou that Catcher Yang and the fifth young master of Huang's family got very close recently. He sent someone to find Lu Jing, the Chief Catcher of the Six Gates, and asked him to issue an order. Yang Sanshi will be responsible for protecting the five sons in the future. Young Master’s safety, then you order someone to choose a set of martial arts suitable for Yang Sanshi’s practice from the arsenal, and send it to him.”

"Yes."

Royal Palace.

The Cao Gang is not only involved in water transportation, but also salt, and even resisting the Japanese pirates along the coast. This time, the Cao Gang has done such a big thing that even the court was alarmed, because the emperor is still underage and cannot take charge of the government, so now It is the empress dowager who listens to the government behind the curtain.

"What's the situation of the Cao Gang now?" The Queen Mother looked at Tie Dan Shenhou, Lu Jing and Liu Jin and asked. Hulong Villa, Liufanmen and Dongchang are the three major institutions that the imperial court controls the rivers and lakes.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Cao Gang has now been divided into fragments, and the water transport is in a mess. If we don't deal with it early, there may be disasters." As the agency in charge of intelligence, Hulong Villa, Tie Dan Shenhou said.

"Shenhou wrote this matter very clearly in the memorial, and the Ai family just wanted to know, what suggestions do the three lovers have for this?" The Empress Dowager asked as she scanned the faces of the three.

This empress dowager is not an ordinary person, she is definitely one of the most amazing women in Chinese history, because Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang is the only adult emperor who is monogamous in Chinese history, and the "monogamy" here is the one in front of her. Empress Dowager Zhang.

Although there is a reason why Zhu Youtang loves Empress Zhang deeply, but facing so many temptations, there is no means to make the emperor no longer marry wives and concubines except himself. You must know that in ancient times, the emperor had no For family affairs, the emperor himself does not want to marry, and the ministers will not agree.

Since Empress Dowager Zhang listened to the government behind the curtain, she has completely inherited Ming Xiaozong's policy. Although it cannot be said that Daming's national power is flourishing, there is no sign of weakening. Her political methods are also quite clever. It is to support Hulong Mountain Villa on the surface, and to fight against the civil official group in the DPRK and China, forming a new political balance.

At least in front of this woman, no matter whether it was Zhu Wushi or Liu Jin, they didn't dare to stab her, honestly, they did their duty.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this Marquis suggests starting a new one. Now the Cao Gang is in disarray, and the Cao Gang is mainly maintained by blood relations. External interference can only make the Cao Gang more chaotic. This Marquis suggests finding a capable and reliable one from the Cao Gang. People, transfer some of the backbone of the Cao Gang, and re-establish a gang." Tie Dan Shenhou said.

Hearing this, Liu Jin and Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. This is to cut off the foundation of the Cao Gang. Although it is impossible to completely disappear the Cao Gang, within a hundred years, the Cao Gang may not be able to turn around. It is so ruthless.

The Cao Gang can become the largest gang in the world, there are two major advantages, one is the support of the imperial court, and the other is the deep foundation and a large number of gangs. They all disappeared, the former needless to say, the latter is not difficult to understand, the transfer of the backbone, what is the backbone, is those who can influence the boatmen at the bottom, but the status is not high, these people will inevitably be taken away A large number of people, without the bottom boatmen, the Cao Gang will be abolished.

"This is indeed a good strategy. What do you two loves think?" The Empress Dowager looked at Liu Jin and Lu Jing and asked.

The empress dowager said so, what else can they say, they can be understood, they are all routines, it is estimated that the empress dowager and Tiedan Shenhou have "colluded" long ago, and finally the empress dowager gave this new gang They came up with a name - Giant Whale Gang.

In the future, the water transportation will still be handed over to the Cao Gang, which will be supervised by the six gates, and other things that were originally in charge of the Cao Gang will be handed over to the Giant Whale Gang. It was dismantled, clean and tidy.

"Shenhou is really a good means." Outside the hall, Liu Jin looked at Tiedan Shenhou and said with a bad expression. This time, Dongchang made a big move for the Cao Gang, but they didn't expect to get a dilapidated Cao Gang in the end. It is absolutely thankless to have to face the Six Doors and the forces of the rivers and lakes.

"It's all for Daming." Tie Dan Shenhou said with a smile.

"That's right, it's all for Daming. By the way, Shenhou, I heard not long ago that there seems to be blood flowing out of the royal family. Shenhou, is this true?" Liu Jin asked suddenly.
