No taboos

Chapter 292 Strong Support (asking for monthly ticket)

Ma Tianshou has been promoted to the commander of Jiaozhi South Office, and his level has also been raised to the fifth rate.

Able to mobilize all personnel and supplies of the Quhui Division in the southern part of Jiaozhi Province.

The two adults, Wu Chenxin and Li Yichuan, both have the job title of "Lecture in the Martial Arts Hall".

Jinwu Hall is also a permanent institution of the Quhui Division.

It is a "school" designed to improve the level of captains and lieutenants from all over the country.

"Preaching" is a very high position, equivalent to "being in charge of law".

The largest "Jinwu Hall" in the entire Quhui Division is located in the Beidu General Headquarters.

Wu Chenxin and Li Yichuan were both personally hired by Ma Tianshou after he was promoted to commander and took sole charge of the Southern Office.

The Wu and Li families are both ancient and large families in Zhengzhou, and their branches are in Jiaozhi.

Wu Chenxin is the clan elder, and Li Yichuan is the clan leader.

On weekdays, they are all busy with family affairs. Only when there is something going on in the Exorcism Bureau will Ma Tianshou come forward in person and ask them to work together.

When Xu Yuan saw three fifth-rate people, he smiled with an embarrassed look on his face.

When writing the letter asking for help, Lord Xu repeatedly hinted: Invite everyone to make a major repair!

It's almost like saying: I'm afraid you, old man, can't handle it alone this time!
The reason why Xu Yuan dared to be so "disrespectful" was, of course, because he realized that Mr. Ma was similar to himself in terms of "cherishing himself".

"Cherishing one's body" is not a derogatory term.

You can't just rush into things without thinking.

We only have one life, and there are certainly things in this world worth risking your life for... but not many.

The last time Lord Ma went to Shanhe County, although he ended up in disgrace, don’t forget that Lord Ma was the deputy commander of the Southern Office at that time and a sixth-rate strongman.

He also brought along Mr. Yan, Fu Jingyu and others.

He secretly prepared a guillotine.

For a county town at the foot of a mountain, the deployment of personnel and supplies is no exaggeration to say that it is "fighting a rabbit with all its might."

This time, after Xu Yuan repeatedly emphasized it, Mr. Ma did not disappoint Xu Yuan.

Moreover, Wu Chenxin and Li Yichuan are both under fifty years old, and are the backbone of the two big families in Jiaozhi!
For the monks of the seven major sects, this is their prime time.

He is not the type who just endures his life, slowly climbs up to the fifth level, and then has no more potential, so he hides in the Extermination of Filth Division to retire.

"Tell me what happened this time?"

Xu Yuan then said, "The circumstances of this treacherous robbery are very complicated. First, several wealthy merchants in the city were robbed, and then the Grand Canal Office..."

What Xu Yuan said is only the part that is well known.

Wu Chenxin and Li Yichuan were present, so Xu Yuan would not tell anyone about the smuggling of cocoon food through the canal.

If these two companies have any relationship with the "shipper", speaking out would expose themselves.

If it had nothing to do with them and they said it rashly, these two would think that Xu Yuan was trying to drag them into this vortex.

After briefly reviewing the case, Ma Tianshou and the two lecturers went to rest.

By dark, Zhang Lao Ya still hadn't returned.

Ma Tianshou was a little puzzled: "My old friend, who was said to have been staying at your place, how come he's gone?"

Xu Yuan took the opportunity to say, "This is Senior Zhang's private matter... Old Master, let's discuss it in detail in the room."

When they arrived at Xu Yuan's room and closed the door, only then did Xu Yuan tell them the inside story of the case.

By the way, he also talked about the "emotional entanglement" between Zhang Laoya and the three dream tapirs.

Ma Tianshou's face was solemn and he didn't speak for a long time.

"One million and two hundred thousand taels of cocoon food—what a big deal." Ma Tianshou subconsciously drew some numbers on the table with his index finger. "Chen Liangxuan and his people... compared to this, they are just a small business."

Chen Liangxuan and his team made a profit of four million taels of silver a year.

This time, 1.2 million taels of cocoon food were lost from a warehouse.

Don't forget that the price of these cocoon foods will increase several times when they are shipped to the red-haired foreigners.

"What on earth does that ghost princess want to do?"

Xu Yuan shook his head: "I have no idea either, but I drugged those monsters she raised!"

Xu Yuan didn't know what these monsters were for, but he adhered to one principle: Whatever you want to do, I will definitely not let you accomplish it. It's like playing chess. When the opponent is attacking and you are defending, of course you will do everything in your power to surround them and prevent them from achieving their goal.

Xu Yuan added, "We have the upper hand this time, so there's no need to unravel the enemy's intentions. We can just deal with them as they come."

Ma Tianshou nodded.

This is the normal state of affairs when the imperial court handles cases.

There are not so many scenes where detectives and detectives turn the tide. Most of the stories are about relying on the powerful force of the court to crush the enemy.

For example, to capture a criminal, dozens of officers would often be dispatched to chase and intercept him.

Ma Tianshou added, "Zhang Lao Ya is cunning and suspicious. You don't owe him anything in this matter. If he suffers any misfortune because of this, it's his own fault."

Xu Yuan nodded, then asked, "Can those two preachers be trusted? Could they be involved in this batch of cocoon food?"

Ma Tianshou shook his head: "No."

The old man didn't explain much.

Because these two families accepted the position of "preaching" because of the introduction by Mr. Ma's "friends" in Beidu.

If this is the case, it means that their family's "business" will not conflict with the Extermination of Filth Bureau.

Mr. Xu Yuanxin.

"According to what the princess said, tomorrow will be the day her plan succeeds."

Ma Tianshou smiled, his expression hinting at anticipation. "Great! I'm really curious about what she wants to do with such a big game!"

……

Zhang Laoya has several other places to stay in Champa.

He will spend the night in one of them tonight.

The three nightmare tapirs did not return to the inn either.

Their explanation to Wen Bin was that they had rekindled their old love with Zhang Laoya and wanted to spend the night at Zhang Laoya's place.

Wen Bin didn't behave abnormally in front of them and smiled to show his understanding.

It was forbidden to travel at night today, so they closed the door early and hid in the house without going out.

The three nightmare tapirs all carried the "tooth cards" given to them by Wen Bin.

This kind of ivory plate was issued by the imperial court as identification for officials.

It was this thing that covered up the negative energy in them, allowing them to enter and leave the inn freely.

Zhang Lao Ya's place of residence is located in Xicheng District and is a very ordinary small courtyard.

There is a door god on the gate of the courtyard.

Zhang Laoya and the three dream tapirs did not sleep in the first half of the night. After all, Zhang Laoya was old and had already risked his life, but the three dream tapirs were still not satisfied.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Laoya fell into a weak sleep. In the darkness, the three dream tapirs, their eyes sparkling with water, quietly took out Mr. Horn...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The three nightmare tapirs were startled. Why would someone knock on the door at this time?
It must be a person - the evil spirit didn't dare to knock on the courtyard door posted by the door god at this time.

They listened quietly and ignored it, but the knocking on the door persisted.

Zhang Laoya was finally woken up and asked drowsily, "What time is it?"

"Before dawn."

Zhang Laoya suddenly woke up: "Something is wrong!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling in the yard, and then the gate was opened from the inside, and footsteps entered the yard.

Zhang Lao Ya's face was full of sternness: "Do you really think we are easy to bully?"

I am a sixth-rate cultivator, and the three dream tapirs are also sixth-rate, and their strength is even higher than mine.

No matter what comes in, we have the strength to fight!
The door was pushed open and the princess walked in with a strange smile on her face.

Wen Bin was by his side.

Zhang Laoya suddenly felt regretful: I should have listened to Xu Yuan...
