Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 258 The Vanishing Caravan

Since everyone belongs to Nanya and is a family, there is nothing to hide and no need to hide.

First of all, it starts from the fact that the fourth prince was kidnapped and entered Jinzhou from Jingyang Road.

The fourth prince was held hostage by the "Chi Kiss" and mixed with a caravan returning to Jinzhou from Luojing. This caravan also hired a team of bodyguards to escort them along the way.

After all, they bought a lot of Luojing's special products on their trip back, and these special products were sold in Jinzhou, at least they could earn money for hiring bodyguards.

This is also the routine operation of the Jinzhou caravan. There is no problem with all the identity guides, roads issued by the government, and tax payment certificates.

After the caravan arrived in Jinzhou, it was handed over and separated from the bodyguard team. There is no problem with this. The bodyguard team is not a fixed bodyguard bureau, but a temporary team. Although such a team has uneven personnel, it is cheap , as long as the team is formed by veterans, it is no worse than hiring a professional bodyguard team.

The caravan will then directly sell the goods purchased from Luojing in the Jinzhou market at a price that is [-]% lower than the market price. The reason is that they need funds to stockpile the goods and plan to expand the caravan next year before going to Luojing.

But after selling the goods, the caravan began to purchase a large amount of materials, but these materials did not seem to be transported to Luojing for sale, but seemed to be preparing for a long trip.

"Our Nanya has the task of monitoring market prices, so once the prices of bulk items fluctuate in the market, we will pay attention to them. Although they purchase in a scattered manner, we have received a letter from Luo Jing, and we are naturally concerned about any abnormalities. This is the list they purchased, Captain Luo, please have a look!" Jiang Jingzhao handed Luo Xing a list.

Luo Xing took it with both hands and glanced at it. In addition to various daily necessities, there are also a lot of various medicinal herbs and herbs for detoxification and miasma avoidance.

This shows that there is at least one doctor in "Chi Kiss", or is proficient in detoxification.

"This is the information we found about this caravan. When Highness Liuli came down, we also gave them a copy. The content is similar."

Luo Xing thanked, and reached out to take it: "Boss Jiang, we are very short on time, and we don't plan to rest any longer. We will leave after lunch."

"In such a hurry?"

"Saving people is like putting out a fire. The minute we arrive early, we may save one more person." Luo Xing said.

"Well, let's arrange for you to rest first. At noon, I will treat everyone to dinner at the Taihe Building in the city. How about it?"

"The guest is up to the owner, but please ask Mr. Jiang not to spend too much money, otherwise, we will feel sorry." Luo Xing did not refuse, the relationship between human beings lies in the exchange of favors, as long as the invitation is not too utilitarian, he will not refuse.

"Okay." Jiang Jingzhao was full of joy, at least he felt that this young Captain Luo was not the kind of difficult person to deal with, and he didn't have the temper of a nobleman.

"Later, I still have some questions that I would like to ask Director Jiang and General Liang Lang, please give me your advice!"

"Don't dare, just ask Captain Luo if you have anything to say, we will naturally know everything without saying anything!"

Luo Xing really didn't mean to say polite words to these two people, he really wanted to ask these two people a lot of questions.

Especially regarding the caravan that held the "Fourth Prince" hostage, it is now known that it was disguised by the tomb robber organization "Chi Kiss", but this caravan has existed in Jinzhou for many years, and all of them are very serious. However, I didn't expect him to be so dishonest behind the scenes.

It is obvious that "Chiwen" has been operating in Jinzhou for many years. It is very likely that they have known for a long time that the tomb of "Chi Taoist" is in Funiu Mountain, but they have not found it. Now they have found it, or the time is ripe to open it.

To open the tomb of the "Chi Taoist", one needs to practice the inner skills of the "Chi Taoist", and must reach a certain level to do so.

It is very difficult to get started with the mental method of "Chi Meng", and ordinary people cannot practice it, and it has great disadvantages. Only by truly obtaining the complete "mental method" can the problem be solved, and all of this needs to open the real "Chi Daoren" The tomb will do.

The "Chiwen" organization has always taken this as its sacred goal, and at the same time regards the tomb of the "Chi Taoist" as its own private property.

For so many years, they have been secretly looking for the tomb of the "Chi Taoist", which can be said to be a kind of obsession.

The leader of the caravan is surnamed Yuan, and his single name is a male character. He came to Jinzhou more than ten years ago. At first, he was a single gang. Later, he formed his own caravan. , six or seven times when there are many times, and four times when there are few times, the main business is leather goods and sour vinegar, and when they come back, they mainly focus on daily necessities such as tea, sugar, and various spices.

After a trip, the gross profit is 3 to [-] taels of silver, after deducting taxes and fees and the cost of hiring caravan security guards, and then subtracting various losses and labor salaries.

The net profit of a trip is only 5000 taels, which is not bad, and the annual income of 3 to [-] taels is much better than most people.

But this Yuan Xiong didn't buy property in Jinzhou, he just rented a yard near the market, the front yard was used as a warehouse, and the back yard was used as a residence.

It may be because he is not at home often, and he is not a native of Jinzhou, so there is no need to buy a house.

But this Yuan Xiong's accent is indeed not from Jinzhou, and it should not even belong to the accent of the Northern Region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even a bit of the Southern Chu Jingzhou accent.

If he was from Nanchu, came to Dazhou to do business, earn money, and his family was in Nanchu, he would definitely go back in the future.

When the relationship between Dazhou and Nanchu was harmonious, people from Nanchu came to Dazhou to do business, and there was no major problem. But now the relationship between Dazhou and Nanchu has broken down, and all Nanchu businessmen are suspected of being "spies".

Therefore, merchants from Southern Chu either secretly left Dazhou and returned to Southern Chu, or they did not dare to reveal their identity as Southern Chu people.

Of course, there are many people from Southern Chu who are used to living in Dazhou, and there are quite a few who have settled in Dazhou and obtained Dazhou household registration.

Jinzhou does not belong to the front line of the battle between Da Zhou and Nan Chu, and the precautions and restrictions on the people of Nan Chu are not so strict.

As long as they are law-abiding Southern Chu people, they will naturally not make things difficult. Similarly, Da Zhou also has a large number of people who are engaged in business and traveling in the Jianghu in Nan Chu. Not good.

Everything looks reasonable, without any flaws.

But it was they who hijacked the "Fourth Prince" and completely exposed their identities. "Chi Kiss", a "tomb robber" organization that has existed for nearly a thousand years, actually pretended to be a caravan for a long time and started a serious business.

Of course, this can be seen on the surface, but no one knows what is hidden under the serious business.

At least, this Yuan Xiong wiped out all traces of him in Jinzhou City after he hijacked the "Fourth Prince" and disappeared from Jinzhou.

Even those who have a good relationship with him or have business dealings with him on weekdays don't know where he has gone now.

As for the core members of the caravan, one by one either disappeared or disappeared out of thin air, and the rest were ordinary guys, who didn't know anything about the situation at all.

Jiang Jingzhao's information is still very detailed, and the core members of the caravan are all attached with a sketch image of the whole body.

This is the most important information, at least when you meet these people, you can recognize them immediately.

In addition, there were all the contents of Ye Liuli's communication with Jinzhou Division, and Jiang Jingzhao also showed Luo Xing one by one.

These contents are probably also included in the inspection department. After all, Ye Liuli was born in the Tianlan sect, and the inspection department is a court institution controlled by the Tianlan sect. Compared with the Nanya, she may trust the Tianlan sect more.

Therefore, there should be two copies of the eagle letter she sent, one to the Jinzhou Division of Nanya, and the other to the Jinzhou Branch of the Inspection Department. As for whether the contents of the two are consistent, it is hard to say .

But with Qing Yi around, Ye Liuli probably wouldn't get two Eagle Letters with different contents unless there was a secret to hide.

"Captain Luo, look, this is the route His Royal Highness Liuli and the others followed Yuan Xiong and others to enter Funiu Mountain. They entered about three days later than Yuan Xiong and others. Once they entered the Funiu Mountains, they could not find them again. The clues left by the fourth prince, we don't know whether the fourth prince was discovered, or the fourth prince didn't have a chance to leave us clues..."

"The fourth prince is a smart man. He knows that even if he secretly leaves clues to the court to rescue him, these people from 'Chi Kiss' will not hurt him for the time being, but since these people dare to hold him hostage, they must have found it." Where is the real tomb of the 'Chi Taoist', otherwise, would they dare to take the risk of offending the Zhou court and being hunted down by the whole world?" Luo Xing analyzed and judged.

On the other side, in the Jinzhou Branch of the Inspection Department, Ming Lanfeng's direct disciple Luo Chengzong also gave almost the same judgment.

"Report."

"Elder Ming Kong, Senior Brother Luo, there is news from the Jinzhou Division of Nanya that Luo Xing and his party arrived in Jinzhou City early this morning, and are now resting at the Jinzhou Division's office!" a Tian Lan wearing the official uniform of the inspector A disciple of Zong came in and bent down to report.

"The speed of arrival is not slow. We only arrived last night, and they arrived this morning. They must have given up their rest time and rushed all night. It's hard for them." Luo Chengzong smiled contemptuously.

"Chengzong, Nanya is good at intelligence information, should we change our strategy?" Ming Kong suggested.

"No need, uncle, the information we got is not much different from Nan Ya, but after entering Funiu Mountain, what we need to be careful about is the old cow in Funiu Mountain!" Luo Chengzong said.

"Bull Demon King Manggu." Mingkong understood who Luo Chengzong was talking about as soon as he heard it.

"This manggu has a grudge against our Tianlan sect, so we must not reveal our identity as a disciple of the Tianlan sect, otherwise our lives will be in danger, but we can borrow someone else's identity, such as following us closely..."

"Chengzong, will this bring down the name of our Tianlanzong?" Ming Kong frowned. This day, a disciple of the Tianlanzong pretended to be a small captain of Nanya. If he said it, he might be laughed at.

"It doesn't matter what the small things are. Once we encounter the Bull Demon King Manggu, we can't match them, we can only outsmart them." Luo Chengzong said, "The Bull Demon King is an extraordinary second-level master. If anyone laughs at me, let him try it himself." try!"

"What you said makes sense, but this season, this Manggu should not be willing to leave his lair." Ming Kong said, "There is a high probability that we won't meet."
