Practitioner with the World Gate

Chapter 93 The Strong Counterattack of the Salt Gang

Duyan Yamen, in the dungeon.

This was originally a huge empty mansion, but because Guo Zheng was under orders to go to Yangzhou, it was temporarily transformed into a yamen.

The imperial court has an agency that specifically controls salt, and the agency in Yangzhou is currently under the temporary management of Guo Zheng.

Obviously, these people were not trustworthy, so Guo Zheng simply didn't let them participate.

Lu Fan came along reluctantly. He intended to digest what he had gained tonight.

In the dungeon, Peng Fei and others had already set up torches, and they were waiting for Guo Zheng to arrive at the scene to start the interrogation.

"My lord, Mr. Lu!" Wu Yuanping greeted him at the door.

Guo Zheng waved his hand: "How many people are alive, where are the ledger and roster?"

"Barely left three alive, the other things are in Peng Fei's hands, I can't wait to touch them at will."

Wu Yuanping simply said that he was horrified, and he called someone to lead everyone down to the dungeon, and he himself led the team to personally guard the entrance of the dungeon.

Guo Zheng's footsteps became more and more rapid, and Lu Fan followed him, and he could clearly hear his disordered breathing.

No wonder he lost his composure.

It's been a long time since I went to Yangzhou, and I haven't made any decent results at all.

Yangzhou officials don't know how many times there have been yin and yang eccentricities behind their backs.

Guo Zheng may not care about his official position, but it is impossible for him to endure the slander of some incompetent people.

This is the pride of Tanhualang.

Among the scholars in the world, Guo was No.3 in their class, which is enough for him to be proud of.

After arriving at the dungeon, Guo Zheng directly took the account book and roster from Peng Fei without waiting for everyone to salute.

While he was looking at the ledger, Lu Fan took Peng Fei to the side for a detailed chat.

"I met a lot of warriors tonight, and the opponents should be considered good players. I feel that their defensive ability is very weak!"

Guo Zheng's words touched Lu Fan's heart after all.

Xianwu, something new when you hear it.

Lu Fan probably wouldn't have thought much about it before changing it, because he was responsible for the way of refining energy, and he was worried that there would be conflicts between the systems.

But it's different now, when Yin and Yang are reconciled, the body reaches the ultimate balance, and there will be no more ability conflicts.

"This"

Peng Fei was a little puzzled: "Did Mr. Lu have any misunderstandings? It's always been like this when warriors fight."

"The internal force penetrating the body can be used for defense, but this internal force is not endless, and it cannot form a defensive momentum in an instant."

"That's it." Lu Fan nodded: "Then, then there is no inner force that spreads all over the body, or a golden bell cover, I mean the inner force is condensed into a golden bell."

Now, Peng Fei's eyes became very strange.

"Cheng Gang? All over the body? Admiralty? Lu Langjun is talking about spells, right?"

Lu Fan: "."

Am I thinking too much? I shouldn’t be. The martial arts in this world are very special. The warrior system that is born out of the immortal way is absolutely no problem to be considered a high martial artist.

At this time, Peng Fei said again: "Inner strength is acquired, reaching innate is true energy."

"Actually, there is still a way to go after innateness"

He spoke the second half of the sentence very quietly, probably afraid that other people would hear it.

Even with Lu Fan's ear, he could only hear a moan as thin as a mosquito: "Your Excellency, I am not allowed to ask these questions, Mr. Lu Lang can ask Erlang."

Guo Xiaoxian!
Lu Fan's heart shook.

Before he could ask any more questions, Guo Zheng had already finished reading the brochure.

His face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was particularly pervasive under the light of the torch.

"Separate interrogation, there is no need to keep alive."

When he said this, Guo Zheng didn't have the three members of the Salt Gang behind his back.

Death is liberation, life is torture.

Everyone understands this truth, and Guo Zheng said this for those three people.

Afterwards, he pulled Lu Fan out of the dungeon quickly.

The atmosphere was very dull along the way, and after returning to Guo's study, Guo Zhengcai heaved a long sigh.

All of a sudden, the momentum was exhausted, and the whole person became weak.

"This ledger is fine, but this roster may have been left on purpose by the other party."

"If nothing else, all the workshops of the Salt Gang will have such manuscripts."

Lu Fan was taken aback: "How do you say that?"

"."

After a long silence, Guo Zheng picked up the roster.

"The people recorded in this book range from the princes of the court to the traffickers and pawns."

"On account of the account books, I found out that the salt company here has long since ceased production, and the official salt and private salt are all from the hands of the salt gang."

"."

What the hell!

Lu Fan's scalp tingled when he heard it.

It's hard to imagine what kind of situation Guo Zheng will face once the roster is exposed.

"This is the counterattack of the Salt Gang. I underestimated them."

Guo Zheng slightly closed his eyes, and the heroic aura in his chest dissipated.

The power of "checking or not checking" is a bit too much. This is a strategy that can drag the Salt Gang to death.

The Salt Gang is very powerful, and it is built on the basis of a network of relationships.

They stop production, but the network will not stop asking for benefits.

The Salt Division will not stop 'taking salt'. There is a fixed share above, and the sales are not enough, thanks to the Great Yasukuni Treasury.

It seems that the Salt Gang just temporarily stopped producing and selling salt, but in fact they were forcibly sucked blood.

People eat horse chews, the benefits for offerings, the benefits for red scarf thieves, and the benefits for network connections.

They can't stop, if they stop, they will be crushed by this maelstrom.

Therefore, they chose to fight back in this way.

Didn't you, Guo Zheng, want to check? Okay, then check it out for you!

If you have the guts, hand in the roster and hand it over to the emperor to see if we or you are the ones who die!

"There is no solution." Lu Fan smacked his lips, his mind was muddled.

He is really not good at intrigue, the previous scheme can only be said to be a flash of inspiration, not a real skill.

"Brother Yu is also exhausted tonight, let's go to rest first, Brother Yu will think about it later."

Guo Zheng waved his hand weakly.

Lu Fan knew that what he wanted right now was quietness.

After leaving the study, Lu Fan suddenly remembered that he wanted to ask where Guo Feng had gone.

But it's almost dawn now, so let's talk about it later.

After returning to the room in the other courtyard, a brocade box was left at the door.

"Oh? Has it been fixed yet?"

Lu Fan bent down to pick up the box and opened it, not afraid to meet the eyeballs inside.

If the living are not afraid, how can they be afraid of the eyes of the dead?

After opening the box, I didn't see the imagined 'dead eye', but a pair of gemstones of different colors!

One red, one bluish white.

"interesting."

Lu Fan sat on the stool and carefully observed the pair of eyeballs.

When you touch it with your hands, the touch is not the naked eye, but the texture of stone!

"If I go, it will change the object itself!?" He was surprised, and simply held it in his hand.

The red hands are warm and moist, and as the fingers exert force, the temperature increases.

The cyan hand was cold at the beginning, and as the fingers exerted force, it became more and more icy cold.

About ten seconds later, Lu Fan felt that something was wrong, so he raised his hand and threw out the two beads.

call out!call out!
boom---!
Two rays of light burst out, one blue and one red.

The two spears hit the door together, and the two forces collided and blew it to pieces.

"This!"

Lu Fan was dumbfounded.

At this time, the luster of the two beads was significantly dimmed.

After a while, fear rose from Lu Fan's heart after a while.

These two beams of light, separated by themselves, he can resist with confidence, if they collide, the power will be great.

The fluctuation just now gave him a creepy feeling.

"Fortunately, I'm a dog king, if this is marked."

　My dears, happy new year, I hope you all have a smooth new year, and all the idiots get out of here immediately~
