Lord of Puro

Chapter 517 He said he had good intentions
With Curie in hand, Li Banfeng carefully looked through the materials and studied the principles of the magnetic shock cannon.

According to Shen Jingye's description, Xiao Zhenggong was arrested by Liao Zihui because he was thinking of crossing the boundary.

Li Banfeng didn't know how Xiao Zhenggong survived, but he knew how Xiao Zhenggong was arrested. All newspapers in Provo had reported the news, and some newspapers even provided photos. When Luo Zhengnan learned that Xiao Zhenggong was still alive, he was frightened and called Li Qi immediately.

According to Lao Luo's description, Xiao Zhenggong's experience was similar to Li Banfeng's previous experience, except that the halo of Zhai Xiu turned into the boundary between the lands.

Xiao Zhenggong was surrounded by boundaries, and then the boundaries lit up, and then he became the brightest man in Prozhou that night.

The magnetic stun cannon is not used to close boundaries, nor does it have the function of strengthening boundaries. Its only function is to change the trajectory and brightness of the boundaries. This results in a result that whoever uses the magnetic stun cannon will be caught.

Li Banfeng felt it was a pity that so much effort and materials were used to make only this thing.

Suishenju didn't feel sorry at all: "Ah Qi, since this thing is useless, quickly dismantle it and destroy all these parts, so as not to attract more trouble."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "You can't say it's completely useless."

Putting aside other things, this thing can change the boundary and the halo created by the home repair technique. This proves that the nature of the boundary is very close to the halo of home repair, and may even be completely the same.

Is it possible that the boundary of Pro Province came from a group of powerful home cultivators?

Was there a great war among the home cultivators back then, and after the fierce battle, many high-level home cultivators determined their own territories, which became the boundaries of today?
If there really was such a great battle between the house repairmen, my lady should have mentioned it. Even if she didn't want to mention it, she should have mentioned other magic weapons as well.

Perhaps because it happened so long ago, my wife forgot about it, and the people of Prosperity also forgot about it.

But if all the official lands were won by the home cultivators through fighting, why are the local gods from other sects? How did they snatch the lands from the home cultivators?
It is impossible to explore historical events, but this magnetic shock cannon is definitely useful. At least it has caused substantial changes to the boundary.

Whether it is possible to change the way of change requires some in-depth research.

Li Banfeng was still reading the information carefully, but Suishenju reminded him, "Don't read it anymore. It says the method of construction, not the theory of theory."

You are right, this is purely an engineering manual that introduces the construction methods, and there is very little explanation on the principles.

If you can't find the principle, you can only figure it out on your own, but the academic issues of dark matter are not something that an undergraduate student can figure out.

Who can understand this knowledge?
Li Banfeng walked out of his residence, stood on the balcony, and looked at the beautiful sunrise in the sky.

Beautiful sunrise...

He thought of a person, Teacher Song, who was as beautiful as the morning sun.

Teacher Song teaches mathematics, but perhaps he can recommend an expert in dark matter research.

……

Liao Zihui went to the train station in person and took the special case envoy Xu Shouming to the Customs Office. In the next stage, the cases related to private detective Spider Bin, the Neizhou entrance of the soda kiln and the famous general Zhao Xiaowan will all be handled by Special Envoy Xu. Liao Zihui's task is to fully cooperate with Special Envoy Xu in carrying out related work.

Xu Shouming had some understanding of Purozhou. He and Liao Zihui had worked in Purozhou for many years. They both worked hard to become the chief envoy of the customs. However, Liao Zihui succeeded and Xu Shouming was transferred back to another province.

Tang Huanjie knew the special relationship between the two and was worried that there would be conflicts.

There was indeed a festive mood, but Liao Zihui remained calm: "What happened in the past is in the past. Xu Shouming is not that kind of person."

When they arrived at the Customs Office, Xu Shouming made it clear: "We must work together and fully cooperate with each other to complete this arduous task."

Liao Zihui stated in person: "As for manpower, material resources, and financial resources, Envoy Xu only needs to speak up, and the Customs Defense Office will do its best!"

Xu Shouming smiled and said, "This operation has a special project and special funds. The funds of the Customs Defense Department are also very tight. How can I dare to ask General Liao for money?"

This is to clearly tell Liao Zihui that the money is not yours.

Liao Zihui looked natural and nodded repeatedly.

Xu Shouming continued, "The Customs Office is very busy and cannot allocate manpower. I am also embarrassed to trouble General Liao in terms of manpower."

What he meant was very clear, he doesn't need your support in terms of manpower.

Xu Shouming brought a lot of people this time, a total of 126 people, covering all kinds of trades.

Liao Zihui smiled and nodded frequently.

Xu Shouming continued, "The higher-ups attach great importance to this special operation and have purchased a lot of equipment for us. These equipment need to be kept specially. I don't think our customs office has any extra space, so General Manager Liao will have to take care of this matter."

This sentence expresses two meanings.

One meaning is that Liao Zihui does not need any material support.

Another meaning is that Xu Shouming needs a special office location. He wants the task force to have its own signboard and territory, and does not want to work in the Customs Office.

Liao Zihui readily agreed and contacted Ma Wu for help in renting a mansion for Xu Shouming in Lushui City.

Ma Wu was worried. He should help with this matter. After going through so many twists and turns, Liao Zihui had some friendship with him. Moreover, Liao Zihui made it clear that he would pay the rent as usual, not a penny less, and would never force Ma Wu to get any advantage.

But Ma Wu didn't know much about Xu Shouming's background, so it was difficult for him to judge which place to rent.

Luo Zhengnan came up with an idea: "Fifth Master, let Jiang Xiangbang's headquarters be given up and see what attitude General Liao has."

Ma Wu was stunned: "Lao Luo, isn't the Jiang Xiang Gang headquarters your territory? How can you give it to them?"

Lao Luo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "If General Envoy Liao likes it, I will give it to him. I don't want to stay there for even a day longer."

Luo Zhengnan was telling the truth. Ever since he heard that Xiao Zhenggong was alive again, he felt scared whenever he saw the headquarters of the Jiang Xiang Gang.

But is it appropriate for the special task force envoy sent from other states to live in the former residence of Jiang Xiangbang?

Ma Wu told Liao Zihui about the matter. He thought Liao Zihui would refuse, but Liao Zihui was very satisfied: "Jun Yang, it's settled, in Jiang Xiangyuanzi!"

Ma Wu reminded him, "General Envoy Liao, you said this. If Special Envoy Xu blames me, you have to bear the consequences for me."

"Who can he blame?" Liao Zihui sneered, "He came to Purozhou on business, brought more than a hundred people with him, and asked for his own land and plaque, and we gave them to him.
It's already difficult to accommodate so many people. We helped him find such a suitable place. What is there for him to blame?

This matter came from Xiao Zhenggong. Xiao Zhenggong is the leader of Jiang Xiang Gang. Isn't it appropriate for him to work at the original site of Jiang Xiang Gang?

Junyang, you have to ask him for the rent, not a penny less, don't be polite to him, if you are embarrassed to ask, I will help you to ask!"

From Liao Zihui's reaction, one can see the relationship between the two people, and Ma Wu also knows how to get along with this Special Envoy Xu.

Xu Shouming really didn't pick a place and even expressed his gratitude to Ma Wu. After the staff were settled, Xu Shouming didn't rush into investigating the case. Instead, he invited a few old friends to come and have a drink and reminisce about the past.

He actually has quite a few friends in Prozhou, including Shen Jinzhong, the holder of the golden seal of Sanyingmen, Han Yaomen, the boss of Qingyun Society, and Bai Wuchuan, the boss of Baihe Gang. These people all have a good relationship with Xu Shouming.

At the banquet, Xu Shouming said politely: "I am back to Pro Province with a mission this time. Whether I can get the job done depends entirely on your care.

I want to catch the private detective Spider Bin. This series of events is all caused by him. If you see Spider Bin's whereabouts, please inform Xu. "

Everyone immediately agreed: "Special Envoy Xu, don't worry, we will tell you immediately if we have any news about the fake foreign devil."

This is nonsense, just as nonsense as "I'll treat you to a meal some other day".

Xu Shouming did not call these old friends to chat. He took out a piece of agreement: "Whoever can find clues about Spider Bin, we only need clues, not the person, and this deed will belong to him. With this deed, the freight for business in Pro Province will be reduced by half!"

After this sentence came out, everyone was a little restless.

In Prozhou, only Li Qi and Ma Wu's business can reduce the freight by half. If the rest of the people want to save some travel expenses, they have to find them to ship the goods. Not only do they have to pay the difference, but they also have to have a good relationship with them before they are willing to help you.

Now that they have this opportunity, they all want to do something practical.

Especially the White Crane Gang, they are a gang of physical cultivators. Spider Bin was once their disciple, and some of his connections also came from the White Crane Gang.

But Bai Wuchuan was a little worried. Is this contract real?

He knew that Xu Shouming and Liao Zihui did not have a very good relationship, and the freight issue was after all in the hands of Liao Zihui.

This is indeed true. Although the freight is controlled by Liao Zihui, at this critical juncture, as long as Xu Shouming opens his mouth, Liao Zihui will have to agree. He cannot make things difficult for Xu Shouming on the issue of freight, otherwise it will leave room for criticism.

Driven by this interest, within three days, Bai Wuchuan, the leader of the White Crane Gang, brought news that someone had seen Spider Bin at Yesong Bridge.

Ye Song Bridge was the territory of Li Qi and Ma Wu. Xu Shouming was not in a hurry to take action. He greeted Ma Wu first: "Jun Yang, I want to arrest someone in Ye Song Bridge. Traffic will have to be stopped for two days. Can you make it easier for me?"

Since Xu Shouming had said so much, Ma Wu naturally could not refuse, so he agreed to it.

Xu Shouming sealed off Ye Songqiao, did not search or arrest anyone, and then spread the news through the Baihe Gang.

The message he spread was that Spider Bin did not have to be arrested, but the things in Spider Bin's hands and pockets must be taken.

How do you say this?
Spider Bin knows it clearly in his heart.

He was indeed in Yesong Bridge. From the day the traffic was blocked until now, he had been hiding in the city and dared not show up.

Doesn't he dare to run? Is there no chance for him to break into the new land?
Yes, but Spider Bin didn't dare to gamble. If he failed and fell into the hands of the Customs Defense Bureau, he was sure he would die.

He wanted to continue to fight with the Customs Defense Bureau, but after receiving the news released by the task force, Spider Bin became a little shaken.

The thing in his hand refers to the famous general Zhao Xiaowan. This spear has always been in his hand, but so far, he has not learned how to use it.

The thing in the pocket refers to the entrance to Neizhou. Xu Shouming came here just for this matter, and Spider Bin had also heard rumors about it before.

If it was the Customs Office that came to arrest people, Spider Bin would keep trying. Blocking the traffic would put a lot of pressure on the Customs Office, until the Customs Office could no longer control the situation, and the matter would definitely end in nothing.

But the task force is not the Customs Department. They will not leave until the case is solved. This matter cannot be avoided. Now that Xu Shouming is here, he must give an explanation to the other states.

Now that I have told them the address of the famous general Zhao Xiaowan and the entrance to Inner Province, does that count as giving them an explanation?
After much deliberation, Daboyans made an attempt.

The attempt was extremely risky, but Spider Bin tried it anyway.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, he placed the famous general Zhao Xiaowan at the gate of the Guanfang Hall.

The Exploding Tiger Spear was extremely powerful. As soon as Spider Bin arrived at the Customs Office, Ye Songqiao's Customs Envoy Zheng Siyi had already sensed it and rushed in with people to check.

A long spear was poking at the entrance of the customs hall, with spider silk wrapped around the spear.

Zheng Siyi quickly reported the news to Liao Zihui, who complained, "Why are you telling me? This is not your mission. Tell Envoy Xu right away!"

Xu Shouming was very happy to hear the news.

His deputy envoy Hou Haitao suggested: "The famous general Zhao Xiaowan is the spiritual totem of Pro Province. This spear seals her soul. She should be sent to Yue Province immediately for comprehensive research."

Xu Shouming sighed and said, "Xia Shumin died in Pro Province. What lessons have you learned from this incident?"

Hou Haitao thought for a moment and said, "The biggest lesson I learned is that you should never overestimate your own capabilities. With his limited foundation, he shouldn't have challenged Li Qi."

Xu Shouming nodded: "You are right, is there anything else?"

Hou Haitao thought for a moment and said, "In Pro Province, when commanding a battle, don't rush too far forward. It won't do anything and will cause trouble for your subordinates. If you're not careful, you might even lose your life."

Xu Shouming laughed and said, "With Xia Shumin's ability, rushing forward would be a death-seeking move. You are right about this. Is there anything else?"

Hou Haitao shook his head. He couldn’t think of anything else.

Xu Shouming said: "There is another most important lesson. Don't rush to do what Liao Zihui is avoiding.

Getting the Xuansheng Red Lotus depends entirely on luck, while sending it away requires skill, and it is not just ordinary skill. Liao Zihui believed that he did not have this skill, so he suddenly fell ill and avoided this mission.
Even Liao Zihui didn't dare to do it, but Xia Shumin insisted on doing it. Do you think he could succeed?"

Hou Haitao thought for a moment and said, "Special Envoy, are you going to hand Zhao Xiaowan over to Liao Zihui?"

Xu Shouming said seriously, "Don't be impatient when speaking. Speak slowly. It may not be Zhao Xiaowan."

Hou Haitao said: "That spear is so powerful..."

"Does it have to be Zhao Xiaowan if it's powerful? Did you hear it speak, or saw it kill someone?" Hou Haitao thought about it and said, "Our equipment here is still limited. We have to send it to other states for identification before we can get a result."

Xu Shouming sighed and said, "Only if you are really capable of sending it to Yuezhou. This spear may not be very useful, but it has a great reputation. If we lose it, it will really become Zhao Xiaowan's, and we will be guilty of a great sin.
If Liao Zihui can send him to Yuezhou, the credit will still belong to us, and at most Liao Zihui will get a share, so why not do it?"

Hou Haitao suddenly realized and knew what to do next.

The spear was still in the customs hall. Zheng Siyi used the same old trick and prepared the handover documents, as well as the photos and videos, waiting for Xu Shouming to take the things away.

But Xu Shouming refused to accept it and asked Hou Haitao to deal with Zheng Siyi every time.

Zheng Siyi had no choice but to contact Liao Zihui.

Liao Zihui had no choice but to let Zheng Siyi take good care of him.

"Zhao Xiaowan" got three tasks and completed one.

The task force's special envoy Xu Shouming ordered that traffic on Yesong Bridge be restored, but passers-by must be strictly checked.

Deputy Special Envoy Hou Haitao thought this was too hasty: "Restoring traffic so quickly, isn't it obvious that they are going to let Spider Bin go?"

Xu Shouming smiled and said, "I want to let him go, but it's not so obvious. Ye Songqiao is Li Qi's territory. Li Qi is a balance person, and he is also a well-known ruthless person in Pro Province. It is definitely right to be cautious when doing things in this place.
We have captured Zhao Xiaowan, which is a gain. We will restore the traffic as soon as possible to tell Li Qi that we have no intention of offending him.
If Spider Bin is sensible, he will definitely send us the entrance to Neizhou. Once we find the entrance to Neizhou, we won’t check and will just let them go. Then the matter of Ye Songqiao will be over.”

Hou Haitao blinked and said, "Special Envoy, are we not going to catch Spider Bin anymore?"

"Why arrest him? Is he that important? We have already taken what we should take, why should we push him to the limit? Do you know what will happen if you push a Prosperous man to the limit?
We were given three tasks. If we had completed all of them, it would not reflect the difficulty of the task. We completed two of the key tasks and gave up one. This proves that we have done repeated research and made difficult choices. This can truly reflect the importance of this task! "

Hou Haitao looked at Xu Shouming and always felt that he was a little strange.

He had worked with Xu Shouming in other states for more than ten years, and had never seen Xu Shouming put so much thought into it. Prostate was different. Only here did Xu Shouming feel willing to show his true abilities.

Xu Shouming's speculation was absolutely correct. Traffic in Yesongqiao was restored on the first day, and on the second day, the Yesongqiao Customs Office received an anonymous letter. On the letter was a map of a soda kiln with the location of a factory marked on it.

Xu Shouming immediately gave an order to lift the strict checks on passers-by, and Ye Songqiao restored its original order.

He handed the contract for reduced freight to Bai Wuchuan as a token of his gratitude. He also invited Ma Wu to dinner, apologized for the inconvenience caused to Ye Songqiao, and was even willing to compensate for the business losses.

Ma Wu naturally would not bother with these trivial matters. Xu Shouming handled all the matters properly and left Yesong Bridge safely. He led his men to the soda kiln without causing much trouble and also left a long spear for the Customs Office.

In the customs hall, Liao Zihui knocked on the table and hummed a few lines of a tune. This time he had met his match.

Outside the customs hall, Green Water Beggar picked up a newspaper, read it twice, and seemed to know where his opponent was.

When they arrived at the Wujie Hospital, Green Water Beggar asked Cuitik, "Have you been to Black Rock Slope?"

Cuitik thought for a moment and said, "I have been there. The last time was three months ago. I opened a clinic there."

"Do you know the newspaper Tuberose?"

"Yes, their newspapers and magazines are very interesting. I buy every issue."

Green Water Beggar asked again: "Do you know who owns the Night Fragrance Newspaper Office?"

Cuitik answered truthfully: "Their boss's surname is Ye, which is not a very common surname."

Green Water Beggar took a handful of cold stale rice from his begging bowl and chewed it. "I found He Jiaqing in Heishipo. He Jiaqing ran into the Night Fragrance Newspaper Office. I could have caught him, but the local god of Heishipo came. Do you recognize the local god of Heishipo?"

Tritik shook his head.

Lu Huazi took out half a fish from the bowl and nibbled on the meat. "The local god of Heishipo is called Tang Shijiang. Among all the local gods in Purozhou, he is the only one I really like."

Cui Tike said: "Such a powerful local god took the initiative to protect He Jiaqing, which proves that they have formed an alliance."

Lu Huazi shook her head: "I don't think Tang Shijiang is protecting He Jiaqing, he is protecting the Night Fragrance Newspaper Office."

Cuitik didn't quite understand: "Local God, protecting a newspaper?"

Lu Huazi spat out the fish bones and laughed, "You can't figure it out, right? I can't figure it out either. A special envoy named Xu from another state came. He is said to be on an equal footing with Liao Zihui. He actually invited Ma Junyang to dinner. Can you figure this out?"

Cuitik thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Is Ma Junyang's status so high?"

"Ma Junyang didn't, but another person did. This person is unfathomable. I have some grievances with this person. If he is secretly protecting He Jiaqing, then this matter will be difficult to handle."

Cuitik knew who Luhuazi was referring to. The person he was talking about was Li Qi.

Lu Huazi shook the bowl, and the bowl that was originally full of food became empty: "Find out the identity of Boss Ye and tell me immediately."

Cuitik didn't want to reveal Li Qi's name, but this matter could not be concealed.

……

Soda kiln, abandoned factory.

Shi Gongxing didn't dare stay in the workshop, so he ran outside the factory and hid in a warehouse.

He knew that there was not only the crucian carp bones in the factory's pool, but also another person.

Hou Haitao, deputy special envoy of the task force, led more than 50 people and walked straight to the end of the workshop.

He came here today to explore the way. If he really found the entrance to Neizhou in the workshop, he would immediately report to Xu Shouming, and their mission in Prozhou would be successfully completed.

The three subordinates put on diving suits, carried oxygen tanks, jumped into the pool, and dived in the water for a while. They saw the huge crucian carp skeleton.

One diver was very surprised and took two photos with his camera. Another diver took out a video camera and recorded the skeleton.

There was also a diver trying to communicate with the skeleton. He carefully stroked the skeleton, just like stroking a shark in the sea. This can calm some large marine creatures and is a common way to express goodwill.

The crucian carp skeleton was very well behaved. It floated motionlessly in the water, like a well-behaved pet, allowing the diver to stroke it.

After obtaining enough information, the three divers immediately surfaced and returned to shore.

They reported on what they observed and Hou Haitao was very satisfied with the results.

Just complete the task and don't do anything unnecessary. Hou Haitao strictly followed Xu Shouming's orders and prepared to leave the workshop immediately.

wow~
The water surface rolled, and a woman's voice came up from underwater: "Who are you?"

Everyone was very surprised, especially the three divers. They didn't expect that the crucian carp skeleton could speak.

Hou Haitao was quite alert and responded promptly: "We are from outside the state of Provo. We came here with goodwill and friendship."

wow~
Waves rolled up on the surface of the pool again, and the huge crucian carp skeleton slowly floated to the surface from the bottom of the water.

The divers said they saw moving fish skeletons, but Hou Haitao could not imagine what the picture would look like.

Now he saw that there was no blood or flesh on the clean fish bones, but the fish was still swaying back and forth on the water.

Hou Haitao didn't know what words to use to describe it. To be honest, he was quite scared.

Xu Shouming told him that the appearance of the people of Neizhou was very special and he should not offend them because of this.

If you don't want to offend, your best option is to give compliments.

Hou Haitao thought of a word: "Too spectacular!"

Is this word appropriate? This is all Hou Haitao can think of at the moment. He will consider the wording later. Today, he can only say hello. Other matters will be handled by the special envoy.

“You think it’s spectacular?” the woman’s voice sounded again, “Is this how you express your kindness?”

Even if the words were inappropriate, the other party didn't need to be so angry. Hou Haitao had other misunderstandings here. He looked at the three divers.

One of the divers made a stroking gesture, meaning they had touched the skeleton underwater.

Hou Haitao quickly explained: "Our way may be different from your customs, but we sincerely want to convey kindness. Every physical contact is our way of conveying..."

Pfft!
Hou Haitao slipped and fell to the ground.

The originally dusty ground was covered with a layer of slippery slime for some reason.

Two subordinates tried to help Hou Haitao up, but they fell to the ground as soon as they took a step.

More than fifty subordinates fell down. They struggled hard but kept slipping and no one could stand up.

Hou Haitao shouted at the fish skeleton: "We have no ill intentions, please believe us!"

The fish skeleton was still shaking, and waves were rising on the pool again.

Two long snakes swayed their bodies and slowly emerged from the water.

Is this really a snake?

Why can't I see the scales and the snake head?

No, this is not a long snake, these are two tentacles.

Behind the tentacles, Hou Haitao saw a huge snail shell.

Hou Haitao turned around and said, "Quick, prepare the steam machine gun!"

His response was correct, but none of his men could stand up, not even the two fifth-level Wanderers (Travelers).

The men stumbled and crawled to the side of the machine gun. The heavy boiler with the gun barrel kept sliding in the workshop. They could not fix the machine gun, let alone ignite it to produce high-pressure steam.

The giant snail crawled out of the pond, looked at the high-pressure machine gun in the distance, and greeted Haitao: "This is also your way of showing kindness."

Only then did Hou Haitao realize that the woman who had spoken before was not the crucian carp skeleton, but the snail girl.

The snail crawled towards Hou Haitao: "Today, I will show you my kindness."

Hou Haitao struggled to crawl in the mucus.

The snail girl opened her huge mouth, revealing layers of teeth.

……

The next morning, Xu Shouming came to the official headquarters and met with Liao Zihui directly.

Without greeting or testing, Xu Shouming said directly: "Old Liao, you have to help me."

Liao Zihui forced a smile and said, "Special Envoy Xu, what do you mean? You are not arresting people from Neizhou and want me to send them to Yuezhou for you, right?"

Xu Shouming took out a stack of photos and handed them to Liao Zihui: "I asked Hou Haitao to go to the entrance of Neizhou to investigate the situation. He took more than 50 people there and did not return for a day and a night.
Then I sent people to investigate near the entrance, and saw this scene in the abandoned factory. "

Rows of skeletons were hung on the ceiling of the workshop, and each skeleton was handled very cleanly without leaving any flesh or blood.

Liao Zihui was stunned for a long time and asked, "Was this done by someone from Neizhou?"

Xu Shouming said: "I can't be sure. I lost more than fifty men. I can't make any more attempts. Lao Liao, you have to help me."

Liao Zihui shook his head: "I can't help you. Report to the higher-ups as soon as possible and wait for them to send someone to balance the situation."

PS: Balance people, how to solve this problem?
