Start with a red name

Chapter 146: Ravage Yuanzhou, Conspiracy Behind the Scenes

"Duh!"

"Duh!"

"Duh!"

"..."

"when!"

There was a series of sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh, like flying knives piercing into chests.

As the inherent strength spread, the people who were stabbed by the sword could no longer mobilize any strength in their bodies, and could not even open their mouths to scream.

The flying knives seemed to have become the carriers of the "immobilization technique", and everyone was stabbed by the flying knives and had the effect of being stiffened and immobilized.

This was true for everyone, including the "Mr. Qin" and the middle-aged man who used threats and bribes to coerce Liang Wenying.

However, amidst the series of sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh, there was also a noise.

With a crisp "dang" sound, the flying knife was directly slapped away by a white and slender hand.

The person who made the move was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties and still had some charm.

Originally, she was inconspicuous around "Young Master Qin", but as she slapped out with her palm, her momentum surged, and she suddenly shone like a torch in the dark night.

However, her sudden burst of momentum only ended there.

Geng Xuan, who was ten steps away just a moment ago, appeared in front of her as if he had teleported the moment she slapped the flying knife away.

The moment she swung her palm, exposing her chest.

Geng Xuan gently pressed his palm on her heart.

The soft touch did not affect Geng Xuan's performance.

The power of the Yin Wind Hua Gu Palm penetrated into the woman's body unhindered, blowing through every corner of her body in an instant like a cold wind.

When the cold wind passes by, the internal organs and muscles become soft and weak, and the bones suddenly become as soft as noodles.

——Because Geng Xuan deliberately controlled the amount of power he exerted, there was no change in appearance, but in her perception, that was the case.

Therefore, this woman followed those who were immobilized by the flying knives and stood there involuntarily.

It’s a long story, but from the moment Geng Xuan broke through the wall to the moment he forcibly restrained seven people, including “Young Master Qin”, the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged woman, it only took a breath or two.

When Geng Xuan withdrew his hand from the woman's chest, Liang Wenying, who was standing there stubbornly, and several high-ranking officials behind him finally realized what had happened in that short moment.

The people behind Liang Wenying stared with wide eyes at the mysterious figure who suddenly appeared in front of them and turned the situation around in an instant.

Liang Wenying no longer had a deadpan expression and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Geng Xuan ignored him, but looked up and glanced at the rich red name above his head again, and said to Fan Hongsheng, Wei Wanzong and others standing outside the broken wall:
"If you have anything to say, talk to him."

As he spoke, he called Hong Quan in again, motioned to the people in the room including "Mr. Qin" and the middle-aged man who were immobilized, and said:
"Take your people to conduct an interrogation and dig out as much information as possible."

"Yes."

Hong Quan immediately arranged for people to drag these people out of the room one by one and walk in different directions.

Hong Quan himself carried the middle-aged woman, who had reached the Marrow Refining Realm but whose whole body strength had been dispersed by Geng Xuan, out of the room.

Geng Xuan still reminded: "Be careful."

If during the interrogation, the middle-aged woman took advantage of the opportunity to mobilize her strength and escape successfully, it would not be a big deal, but it might endanger Hong Quan's safety.

Hong Quan was obviously aware of this, but he just responded respectfully and went out with the woman.

If he can't even handle this matter, he wouldn't deserve to be called the second best in the Giant Bear Gang!
While Geng Xuan was making arrangements for Hong Quan, Fan Hongsheng, Wei Wanzong and others had entered the study room one after another through the gap created silently by Geng Xuan's palm.

Upon seeing them, Liang Wenying, who had been suspicious of Geng Xuan, immediately showed a look of surprise on her face.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to greet him, Fan Hongsheng immediately took his hand and took him to a corner of the study and started talking to him in a low and quick voice.

It can be seen that Liang Wenying, who had always had a dead face under the soft and hard tactics, coercion and inducement of "Mr. Qin" and the middle-aged man, now began to look uncertain because of Fan Hongsheng's narration.

He was startled and surprised, sometimes horrified and sometimes happy, just like he was running a face-changing shop.

Geng Xuan did not go to listen to the negotiations between Fan Hongsheng and others and Liang Wenying. He walked out of the study.

In the front yard, the men and women who had been crowded together because of the loss of their beloved sons and daughters had been taken away elsewhere.

At this moment, the yard, which originally looked very spacious, was crowded with more than 170 Xuanyou horses and a large number of figures shuttling back and forth.

However, neither humans nor horses had time to pay attention to these things.

The Xuanyou horses were leisurely swinging their tails and burying their heads in the food bowls, first drinking a lot of clean drinking water taken from the deep well.

Then he took big gulps and quickly swallowed the fine material mixed with Xuanyoudan powder into his stomach.

This morning, around nine o'clock, the team set out from Wanfufang and has now arrived at Fengzefang, which is nearly a thousand miles away. It is not yet completely dark.

After this practical experience, Geng Xuan gained a more profound understanding of the significance of Xuanyou Horse to this world.

After taking a quick look around and seeing that everything was in order, Geng Xuan turned around and went to the backyard.

Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, Gu Laosi and four other people with rich experience in interrogation are interrogating seven people separately in different rooms.

Before he even got close, Geng Xuan heard the hysterical roar of "Young Master Qin".

"who are you?"

"What on earth are you going to do to me?—Ah!"

"Do you know what you are doing? ... Ah, let me go quickly ... Ah!"

"Ah... do you know who my father is?... You don't know how to live or die... ah..."

"Ah... I... want to... kill... ah..."

"..."

After listening for a while from a distance, Geng Xuan shook his head and walked away, muttering softly, "Pretty tough."

When passing by the doors of other rooms, you can also hear various groaning and groaning sounds.

When passing by the room where Hong Quan was interrogating the middle-aged woman, Geng Xuan deliberately stopped for a moment.

What surprised him was that, unlike other rooms, it was unusually quiet inside.

Apart from the occasional sound of Hong Quan fiddling with equipment, there was no other noise at all.

Geng Xuan, sensing something strange, pushed the door open and walked in, only to see the middle-aged woman's hands and feet fixed to a wall in a spread-eagle position.

Hong Quan was taking various small blood-stained iron parts off her body and throwing them into the toolbox next to her.

Seeing Geng Xuan pushing the door open, the middle-aged woman turned her eyes slightly and looked at him.

There was no emotion in her eyes, no humiliation or pain, just a calm face.

Well, it’s not like I don’t have any emotions at all.

It was a kind of condescending look and mockery with a strong sense of superiority.

As if to say, "Is that all you have? Why don't you try it too?"

Geng Xuan looked away, ignoring the provocation implied in the woman's eyes, and instead looked at Hong Quan who was putting the last small blood-stained part into the toolbox.

Closing the lid, Hong Quan whispered to Geng Xuan, "Boss, I can't pry her mouth open."

As he said this, he lowered his head in shame.

Geng Xuan nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Go look somewhere else."

Hong Quan left with the toolbox.

Geng Xuan and the middle-aged woman were the only two people left in the room.

The middle-aged woman who had not said a word when Hong Quan was there looked at Geng Xuan and finally spoke.

"Are you coming in person?"

As she spoke, her eyes revealed an eager anticipation.

Geng Xuan stared at the woman acting like this for a while, then suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on her forehead.

The next moment, the proud swan-like look in the woman's eyes suddenly dimmed and became dead silent.

A thick red air rushed towards me.

After refining, this person brought Geng Xuan a full sixty-five points of good luck.

He broke Lu Kuan's record of contributing 61 points alone and became the new "top".

"Ke Hongyin."

Geng Xuan repeated the name softly.

It was not until after this person's death that Geng Xuan found out her name through Hongyun's "account records".

This is a gain after all.

At the same time, this person also brought eight points of bad luck to Geng Xuan.

Before that, Geng Xuan rushed into the house before the man with the nail in his forehead died, and captured the red name before he was finally killed.

This person also brought Geng Xuan thirty-three points of good luck and four points of bad luck.

Geng Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The quality of the red names of everyone in that room is quite high!"

Not only "Mr. Qin", but also the middle-aged man, the middle-aged woman, and the pretty girl who looked to be in her early twenties, all had very high-quality red names.

The few people who came from Fengzefang and stood behind Liang Wenying might not be very strong, but the quality of the red names above their heads was not much inferior to those of the opponents.

Among all the people in the room, the one with the best quality of red name was Liang Wenying, the owner of Fengzefang.

Geng Xuan estimated that if the good fortune was quantified, the good fortune he could contribute to himself would be at least over 80 points.

If we put aside all positions and take a purely third-party perspective, there is not a single good person in that room.

Just as Geng Xuan was turning these thoughts in his mind, while waiting for the results of the interrogation by Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, Gu Laosi and others, Liang Wenying walked out from the study in the distance.

He looked around and immediately hurried towards where he was.

Fan Hongsheng, Wei Wanzong and others followed closely behind him.

When Liang Wenying was a few steps away from Geng Xuan, he stood still and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Boss Su, from today on, you will be the most distinguished guest of our Fengzefang for generations to come!"

"Okay, I received your kindness. Let's stand up and talk." Geng Xuan said.

Liang Wenying was stunned by the indifferent reaction of "Boss Su", but she stood up swiftly.

He had learned a lot from Fan Hongsheng and others, and had some understanding of the likes and dislikes and preferences of the "Boss Su" in front of him. He knew what was the safest way to act at this time.

After Liang Wenying stood up, Geng Xuan asked, "You guys came here at this time, maybe you have something else to do?"

Liang Wenying nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Qin is the legitimate son of Qin Hexuan, the owner of the nearby Wanpingji Hall. They are not the only seven people coming here this time.

They also have another team of more than 50 people. I am afraid that people in the neighborhood will see them and have conflicts with them, causing trouble.

Just before they entered the main gate of Fengzefang, they were brought in through the side door and are now all placed in a courtyard at the back.

I originally thought that we could just let Fangzhu Fan and Fangzhu Wei take these people down.

Master Fan said that he still needs to ask for your opinion on this matter first."

Geng Xuan nodded and gave Fan Hongsheng an undisguised look of approval.

Although Fan Hongsheng could not see through the true nature, the days of getting along with him were enough for him to know what would make him, the "Boss Su", feel happy and what would make him feel unhappy.

Geng Xuan looked at Liang Wenying and asked, "Those people didn't notice what happened here, did they? Young Master Qin was yelling quite loudly, is it possible that they heard him?"

Liang Wenying shook her head and said:

"They are some distance away from here, and unless there is a big commotion here, it will be difficult for them to notice.

Moreover, every time they come to my Fengzefang, I arrange people to treat them to delicious food and drinks.

No matter how unpleasant our talks with the top management of Wanpingji were, they always returned with satisfaction.

They had long lost their vigilance towards our hospitality.

As usual, they would be pretty much drunk by now.”

Geng Xuan nodded, because Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and others were interrogating "Mr. Qin" and others.

He called Xie Hang and asked him to gather all the gang members who were tending the Xuanyou horses in the front yard.

Another forty people were organized to accompany him, who were "carefully selected" from Wu Youxin's logistics cavalry and Fang Jintang's cavalry.

"Yes." Xie Hang responded loudly and immediately started to make arrangements.

As for why Hong Quan and Cheng Hui were both entrusted with important tasks at the first opportunity while Xie Hang continued to tend the Xuanyou horse in the front yard as one of the "Big Three" of the Giant Bear Gang, it was naturally because Geng Xuan had no expectations of his ability to interrogate people.

In this regard, let alone compared with Hong Quan and Cheng Hui, even compared with people like Gu Laosi, the clumsy Xie Hang has no advantage at all.

However, for general actions, as long as there are clear instructions, Xie Hang can still complete them well without any slack.

Soon, more than fifty people were organized by Xie Hang.

Finally, led by Liang Wenying, the group entered a narrow corridor with high walls on both sides through a side door.

After walking forward for several hundred steps, we finally entered the courtyard at the other end of the corridor.

In the spacious yard, dozens of Yuanzhou horses, which are considered good horses locally, were tied to hitching posts.

Next to the horse post was a row of horse troughs. Several people, led by an old man over 60 years old, were adding horse feed to each trough from time to time.

These people were all surprised when they saw Geng Xuan and his group enter.

However, Liang Wenying, who was beside Geng Xuan, immediately made a gesture to silence them.

These people all shut their mouths tacitly, and under the leadership of the old man who was over 60 years old, they took the initiative to move aside.

The old man also pointed to a house inside the yard that was more spacious and imposing than the surrounding buildings.

The house was brightly lit, with a lot of light shining outside through the door that was not completely closed.

Also wafting out of the house was the strong smell of alcohol and the chaotic, incoherent shouting of people who were drunk.

After arriving at the door that was not closed tightly and looking inside, Geng Xuan lost interest in taking action.

He said to Xie Hang, "This time, you will take the brothers in the gang and do your best to capture them alive."

As he spoke, he looked at the other forty people who had followed but had not yet officially joined the Giant Bear Gang, and said:

"Just stand guard outside and prevent anyone from escaping. Don't get involved in any physical action.

However, you must help keep those who are subdued and captured alive in custody."

While Geng Xuan was making arrangements, someone outside the house heard the noise outside.

"Who's outside?" a gruff voice asked.

Naturally, no one responded to this.

"Who's outside?"

With the crisp sound of a bowl falling, the heavy voice sounded again, and then the sound of footsteps came towards the door.

Geng Xuan glanced at Xie Hang and stepped aside.

Soon, a fat man with bare chest, hairy chest and weighing more than 300 kilograms appeared at the door in the middle of winter.

Just when this person appeared at the door, before he could see clearly what was happening outside.

A flash of sword light flashed, and Xie Hang had already stabbed the sword in his hand deeply into the man's chest.

Because of drunkenness, both the thinking and body reactions are much slower than normal.

By the time the fat man realized he needed to mobilize his strength and organize his defense, it was already too late.

When the fat man realized what was happening belatedly, he screamed and roared in pain, and slapped Xie Hang with his huge palm like a palm fan.

Xie Hang had already swiftly drawn out his long sword, leaving a huge wound from which blood was gushing out. He then dodged forward and came to the right armpit of the fat man, which was left empty due to his right hand being swung out.

Another sword stabbed deeply.

And quickly pulled it out.

The fat man roared and continued to swing his palms, but his movements were obviously slow and deformed.

Soon, another bloody groove appeared on his lower back.

In a very short period of time, after making three "bloody wounds" on the fat man's body, Xie Hang no longer paid any attention to this man, but quickly pounced on other targets in the house.

If the purpose was to kill, in the situation just now, Xie Hang was confident that he could kill the other party with one strike.

But didn’t the gang leader have a requirement that we try to capture them alive?

It would just take a lot more effort.

However, this won't delay anything much.

Just as Xie Hang left the fat man behind and pounced on other targets.

The other members of the Giant Bear Gang had already taken action, looking for suitable targets to attack.

After about two cups of tea, the noisy sounds in the house stopped.

Xie Hang personally dragged the fat man, who weighed more than 300 kilograms, out of the house like a dead pig.

The other members of the Giant Bear Gang, who were all injured to varying degrees, also came out, escorting the prisoners one by one.

Although almost everyone was injured, fortunately everyone was still there.

Behind them, a group of people who had been called in to help and were now also held as captives in the Giant Bear Gang, came out of the house, escorting half-dead captives.

Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the heads of these captives, and he felt inexplicably sad.

There were fifty-four captives in total, three in the Bone Refining Realm, a dozen in the Blood Refining Realm, and the rest were all in the Flesh Refining Realm.

In terms of strength, they are far inferior to the guards of Anleji.

Even compared with the guard level of Kangleji and Baiyuanji, it is still inferior.

However, the density of red names above these people's heads is no less than that of the elite guards of Anleji.

Geng Xuan quickly understood the reason.

Even if Anleji's elite guards were stronger and more vicious, the population base around Chiwu Mountain was limited. Furthermore, even if the other markets and the neighborhoods adjacent to Chiwu Mountain were not as powerful as Anleji, they were not pushovers.

To control the powerful Anle Group, we also need to use methods and techniques.

In comparison, the guarding strength of these Wanpingji may not be comparable to that of Anleji, but the prosperity of the surrounding population is far greater than that of the area around Chiwu Mountain.

The densely populated neighborhoods do not have the strength to challenge the market head-on.

Wanpingji's biggest concern about the surrounding neighborhoods might be that "if the owner of this neighborhood is killed, the neighborhood may be in chaos, and it will be more difficult to collect grain."

As a guard of Wanpingji, he also concurrently performs the duties of a "grain collection clerk".

Moreover, he doesn't need to take any responsibility for killing a few troublemakers.

According to Mr. Chai, every autumn harvest season, in order to suppress the arrogance of the unruly people, many rice shops would pick out some tough bones to kill.

If you really can't find any, just get a few together to liven things up.

In such an environment, how could the sins of killing carried by these market guards not be heavy?

After handing all the captives over to Hong Quan, Geng Xuan said to him:
"Interrogate them all. It would be best if you can get something out of them. But if you can't, that's not a big deal.

After the interrogation, you will personally take care of these people with our gang."

"Yes."

Hong Quan responded, but then asked:

"Then how do we deal with Qin Lang?"

This "Qin Lang" is naturally the real name of that "Qin Shao".

Although "Mr. Qin's" bones were harder than Geng Xuan had imagined, they were far from comparable to those of the middle-aged woman.

Having been "served" personally by Hong Quan until now, I have basically reached the stage where I can answer whatever he asks.

Geng Xuan said, "Of course he's treated the same as everyone else. Do we really want him to enjoy any special treatment?"

Liang Wenying, who was hearing this, changed her expression and wanted to say something.

Fan Hongsheng, who was standing beside him, reached out and gently placed his hand on his shoulder before he could open his mouth.

A force neither light nor heavy passed through his palm and spread into Liang Wenying's throat, directly making him lose the ability to speak.

After arranging all this, Geng Xuan went straight to the study and waited quietly.

Outside the house, Fan Hongsheng released his hand on Liang Wenying's shoulder. Without saying anything, he looked at him meaningfully.

He reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, then followed Geng Xuan into the study.

Wei Wanzong, Mr. Chai and several other high-ranking officials of the Jiafang family also entered the study.

Liang Wenying stood there in shock for a moment, then said to several high-ranking officials of Fengzefang nearby:

"You are no longer needed here. Go and persuade all the residents gathered in the large sun-drying area outside to go back.

Tell them that the matter has been resolved and not a single grain of food will be shipped out of Fengzefang. Let them go back with peace of mind."

After making arrangements and sending these people away, Liang Wenying took a deep breath, a friendly yet respectful and humble look reappeared on his face, and he walked into the study.

After entering the study, Liang Wenying immediately took out her treasured tea.

He personally served cups of brewed tea to everyone one by one.

While Geng Xuan was enjoying Liang Wenying's flattery, he was waiting for the result from Hong Quan.

About two cups of tea later, from time to time, a thick red gas would fly in quickly from outside the study and penetrate into the center of Geng Xuan's eyebrows.

As these residual energies are quickly refined, the benefits of good fortune increase visibly.

The first red gas that floated over came from the fifty-four captured guards.

On average, each person contributed more than twenty-eight luck points to Geng Xuan.

These fifty-four people alone brought Geng Xuan one thousand five hundred and twenty-six points of good luck.

Compared with their outstanding contributions to good luck, these people's contributions to bad luck are unremarkable.

All fifty-four people combined brought him seven points of bad luck.

This gave Geng Xuan a clearer understanding of Wan Pingji's strength.

They have done such evil, but their strength is so weak. Not to mention compared with Anle Market, they are far inferior to markets like Kangle Market and Baiyuan Market.

Yes, in a market dominated by only one company, how strong can the rice business be?

However, the importance of food cannot be overemphasized.

Komihang does not have the qualifications to arbitrarily charge other forces just for the grain in its hands.

In the eyes of more powerful forces such as Wuyou Palace and Jinsha Gang, the existence of Mi Bank only makes it easier for them to obtain resources such as food in a more concentrated and easier manner.

They don't need to send people to the fields to collect taxes.

If any rice shop dares to use the rice in its hands to threaten these forces with starvation and demand more resource allocation.

Then this rice shop is basically finished.

——Although there are rice shops in every market and even in every densely populated place, there is no affiliation between these rice shops.

Their relationship is like that between the car dealerships in Kangle Market and those in other markets. It is equivalent to a license to enter a certain industry, allowing them to trade with similar guilds in other places.

Even if someone within a guild is ambitious to achieve a more advanced integration, other forces will not allow this to happen.

Because this is almost the same as holding their vital points.

Forces like the Jinsha Gang and Wuyou Palace, if they think about the fact that one day even their clothing, meals, and use of cultivation resources will have to depend on the wishes of a certain guild, with different levels of hierarchy, they will resolutely prevent this possibility from happening.

……

After the last of the fifty-four captives brought Geng Xuan thirty-one points of good luck, no new energy came for a long time.

After another two cups of tea, six balls of red gas flew towards Geng Xuan almost one after another.

Geng Xuan quickly refined the six balls of red energy.

In total, I gained 284 points of good luck and 20 points of bad luck.

Among them, four people, including the middle-aged man, brought him more than 40 points of good fortune.

And "Young Master Qin" Qin Lang, and a person named Yan Sirou, both brought him more than fifty points of good luck.

Her contribution was only slightly less than that of the middle-aged woman named Ke Hongyin.

The twenty points of black luck came from the contributions of these two people.

However, "Mr. Qin" is not very good in this regard.

He, or Wan Pingji behind him, only brought him four points of bad luck in total because of his death.

But the one named "Yan Sirou" alone brought sixteen points of bad luck to Geng Xuan.

Apart from Xu Nianwei, she contributed the most individual bad luck.

When Geng Xuan heard the name Yan Sirou, the first thing he thought of was a pretty, very young woman.

If age factor is taken into consideration, she is the one with the highest efficiency in "accumulating sins per unit time".

Not only can he surpass "Qin Shao", talented people like Wu Youxin can also surpass veteran actors like Lu Kuan and Ke Hongyin.

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance!”

Although he knew in his previous life that appearance had nothing to do with a person's character, when he saw a beautiful young woman who met his aesthetic standards in every way, he couldn't help but think -

Her heart may be as good as her looks.

It’s a pity that Geng Xuan has a pair of true seeing eyes.

Geng Xuan felt that sometimes it would be good to be able to block the Eye of True Vision for a short period of time.

Just when Geng Xuan was thinking about these boring thoughts, Hong Quan led Cheng Hui, Gu Laosi and other people who were involved in the interrogation into the study.

……

"Those guards, as well as the five men in the study at the time, were all from Wanpingji. The purpose of their trip was to collect grain."

"The most important thing is actually those two women."

"The older one is called Ke Hongyin, and the younger one is called Yan Sirou. They are not from Wanpingji, but from Wuyou Palace."

"That Yan Sirou is the Left Envoy of Wuyou Palace and the beloved disciple of Xi Hanyue, who is also famous for her beauty.

That Ke Hongyin was Xi Hanyue's confidante, and had been following her since she was still selling herself in a brothel.

It is said that the friendship between the two is very deep. They are master and servant in name, but sisters in reality.

……

Yan Sirou was sent by Xi Hanyue to Yueluyuan for training, with the purpose of collecting grain from various rice shops in Yueluyuan.

Ke Hongyin was assigned to protect Yan Sirou."

Geng Xuan remained calm as he listened to Hong Quan's report.

The others were all horrified.

Especially Liang Wenying, a variety of expressions were intertwined on her old face.

And Hong Quan's report has not yet ended.

"...The various rice shops are putting pressure on the various neighborhoods, and these rice shops are also under pressure from Wuyou Palace."

Having said that, Hong Quan looked at Geng Xuan and expanded on this issue.

“According to Ke Hongyin’s explanation, this was an operation that affected the entire Yuanzhou.

The top forces in Yuanzhou had already made their divisions before taking action.

The food from Yueluyuan and the medicinal materials produced around the 17 markets in the southern section of Chiwu Mountain are considered the "food" area of Wuyou Palace.

In other grain-producing and medicine-producing areas of Yuanzhou, other forces are also doing the same thing.”

The atmosphere in the room was so cold that it seemed as if ice crystals were about to form directly from the air.

Geng Xuan calmly gestured to Hong Quan, "Continue."

"Under pressure from Wuyou Palace, Wanpingji worked hard to gather food and fodder while exerting all its might to suppress the local communities below in an effort to alleviate its own predicament.

At the same time, Wan Pingji is still trying to find other solutions.

Just a few days ago, Wan Pingji received accurate information that Fengzefang was secretly looking for high-quality men and women of appropriate age in the square, preparing to send them to the inner square near Chiwu Mountain for training.

Qin Hexuan, the master of Wanpingji, immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

In the end, he reached an agreement with the people of Wuyou Palace. He used this group of high-quality men and women of marriageable age as the price, and not only gained Wuyou Palace's tolerance in the matter of urging grain, but also got some additional benefits.

After the agreement was reached, Qin Hexuan immediately took action.

After that, Wan Pingji captured more than 90% of the targets in less than two days and handed them over to Wuyou Palace.

So, theoretically speaking, Wanpingji does not have an urgent need for grain.

What Qin Lang and others are doing today is no longer due to pressure from Wuyou Palace, but is going with the flow.

The reason why Yan Sirou and Ke Hongyin traveled together was that Wan Pingji had just handed over the men and women abducted from Fengzefang to Wuyou Palace. Because of this bond and Wan Pingji's active invitation, this trip came about.

Another thing is that it is said that after the Wuyou Palace examination, they were very satisfied with the quality of those men and women.

This also made Yan Sirou and Ke Hongyin curious about Fengzefang, and they wanted to take a look at it to see if there were any suitable targets. "

As early as when Hong Quan began this long story, the study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

As Hong Quan organized and pieced together the information he had interrogated from different people and laid out the truth in front of everyone, everyone was stunned.

"Snapped--"

The teacup in Liang Wenying's hand fell directly to the ground, porcelain fragments splattered everywhere, and the already cold tea also splashed everywhere, soaking a large area of the ground.

He didn't care about these, but just murmured:

"I see, that's how it is! There is actually such a twist behind this!"

Liang Wenying murmured to herself, and suddenly her eyes fixed.

“No, although people from Wanpingji have been visiting frequently these days, their understanding of Fengzefang is far from this level.

What's more, I have been very low-key in this matter. People in the neighborhood don't know the specific situation at all, let alone Wanpingji!

How could they lock on to those target candidates so accurately and transport them away from Fengzefang quietly?

With tens of thousands of eyes watching, how could it be so easy? "

Hong Quan looked at Liang Wenying who was questioning him and said, "The reason is actually very simple. You should be able to guess it."

"Who?!" Liang Wenying's eyes flashed with sternness and she asked directly.

As for the reason why Hong Quan reminded that it was "very simple", it is actually not difficult to guess by working back from the results.

It's nothing more than someone being a traitor and providing the other party with a fairly accurate list of personnel.

With the list in hand, Wan Pingji only needs to "follow the map" to intercept all the desired targets.

Moreover, it was hard to believe that nearly a hundred people were able to kidnap and transport someone out of Fengzefang quietly without causing any noise.

It can be roughly imagined that the insider not only provided the list, but also probably helped to capture people and transport them out of Fengzefang.

Whether it is arresting people or transporting them out, things will be much easier with the cooperation of such a person.

It was because she had figured this out that Liang Wenying's questioning of Hong Quan suddenly became so harsh.

His eyes also became extremely vicious.

I think he has already started to rehearse in his mind how to deal with the other party after catching this "traitor".

Looking at Liang Wenying in this state, Hong Quan's face showed pity.

Seeing his expression, Liang Wenying's heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably realized that a "disaster" was about to happen.

Hong Quan said softly: "This traitor is called Liang Mingrui."

In an instant, Liang Wenying froze there, without any movement.

At this moment, Fan Hongsheng whispered to Geng Xuan: "Liang Mingrui is Liang Wenying's youngest son."

Geng Xuan nodded slightly.

"Why...why...why did he do this?"

Liang Wenying did not question the authenticity of the information provided by Hong Quan. Its authenticity was too easy to verify.

Since these words came out of the other person's mouth, regardless of whether he accepted it emotionally or not, Liang Wenying had already accepted this answer rationally.

Now, the biggest confusion in his mind is "why".

Hong Quan stared at Liang Wenying, sighed, and said:

“You probably don’t know, but a few days ago, Liang Mingrui fell madly in love with a woman.

Then, without using too many tricks, he rolled into bed with the woman.

But soon, Qin Lang brought a man who was said to be the woman's husband and blocked the two of them on the bed. "

Hearing this, Liang Wenying closed her eyes in pain.

There is no need to hear about what happened afterwards.

As an old hand like him, how could he not know that his idiot had completely fallen into someone else's trap.

Looking at his gnashing teeth, if Qin Lang were still alive, he might not even think of sparing his life, but would personally go up and bite the other person to death.

The information you want is basically all clear.

Geng Xuan did not delay any further and said to Hong Quan:
"Don't tell me the rest of the information for now. Write it down and I'll look at it when I have time... Are those men and women who were sent to Wuyou Palace still in Yueluyuan?"

“Yes, everyone is still in Wanpingji.

It is said that Wuyou Palace will wait until all the food and grass are collected elsewhere before returning to Yuanjing with these men and women."

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Then don't waste time, let's take action now."

Hearing this, Hong Quan was not surprised at all and replied, "Yes."

Then I started preparing immediately.

As for why his gang leader was so anxious about this matter, he did not think too deeply about it.

Anyway, being decisive and ruthless in doing evil is the right thing to do.

Seeing that Fan Hongsheng, Wei Wanzong and others were also preparing to set off, Geng Xuan raised his hand to stop them:

"You guys just don't go."

He only said half of this, leaving the other half unsaid, "Even if you go there, I won't let you do it."

Several people were stunned at first, and then looked unhappy, feeling sorry that they could not participate in this matter.

Geng Xuan said:

"Aren't there still a few Jiafangs? The night is long and dreams are plentiful. Don't rest tonight, but continue on your journey.

If there is any problem, don't do anything, just pass the news to me.

If there is no problem, bring everyone to Fengzefang to meet up."

Hearing this, Fan Hongsheng and others immediately cheered up and strode out of the study.

Uncle Chai followed while patting his old waist.

Geng Xuan suddenly called out, "Master Chai, please stay and follow me. I am not familiar with the roads here, so please be my guide."

Soon, more than 170 Xuanyou horses, which had received sufficient rest, left Fengzefang at night, then split into two groups and galloped in different directions.

　The monthly ticket volume reaches 1,000, and the achievement is achieved.

　　There will be more updates on the first of next month, thank you everyone.

　　I had originally planned to fulfill it immediately, but due to some unexpected schedules, I used up the stock that I had squeezed out with great difficulty. I hurriedly wrote in the last two days, and tried to release the additional chapters in the early morning of December 1st.
