Central Capital, the residence of Prince Zhao.

Suddenly a guard complained, saying: "My lord, something is wrong!"

Wanyan Honglie was mate with the concubine Bao Xiruo to admire the flowers, but when the guards reported it, his expression changed and he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

The guard glanced at Bao Xiruo, and Wanyan Honglie immediately understood, "Xiwei, I will come whenever I go."

Bao Xiruo nodded slightly, but was still a little shocked. The Kingdom of Jin is now in great power, what could the Sixth King of the Kingdom of Jin care about?

In the side hall of the palace, Wanyan Honglie asked with a straight face: "Let's talk, if there is nothing serious, you should know the consequences."

"My lord, before you sent General Wuhu to the Song Dynasty to pretend to be bandits and bandits to rob. Now General Wuhu has sent news that they were annihilated by the Imperial City Division's sneak attack. Only he was seriously injured and sent a message. An accident." The guard hurriedly reported, and at the same time handed a note to Wanyan Honglie.

"Ah, bastard!"

Wanyan Honglie became jealous in an instant, trembling all over with anger, roaring angrily: "A man of one thousand gold, his soul has returned to the Great Song Dynasty, what a royal city secretary, if I don't take revenge on me, Wanyan Honglie is inhuman!"

Chapter 6

Jiang Chi ordered his subordinates to clean up and wanted to return to Lin'an Mansion. The jade pendant was extraordinary, but it involved a lot. As a member of the Han family, he had to find out the murderer behind the scenes.

On this day, they were resting on the way, but Huang Rong bought a pot of wild game, which also made Jiang Chi lucky to be able to repay the cooking skills of this gourmet master, so he was very happy, "Miss Huang is a good cook."

"Of course, I have honed my skills for more than ten years." Huang Rong said with a smile on her face.

Jiang Kuang nodded, but did not refute.

"Brother Jiang, you can call me Rong'er from now on." Huang Rong said inadvertently, which surprised Jiang Chi and was stunned for a long time. Could it be that because he traveled through time, he won't be able to take away the opportunity from that kid Guo Jing?

Huang Rong is smart, intelligent, and beautiful, Jiang Chi would be lying if he didn't fall in love, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call you Rong'er from now on!"

It's best to be able to get closer, who doesn't like beautiful women, if you can win her heart, it will take away the opportunity from that idiot Guo Jing, so what, I don't owe him, let alone the matter of men and women, I can't be humble.

"Save some soup for the old man!"

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air came from far and near, and an old and powerful figure appeared in front of Jiang Chi and the others in a few breaths. His eyes were fixed on the pot, and he couldn't help licking the dry skin. lips.

"You two, don't you want to leave a sip of soup for the old man?" The old man's white hair was disheveled, his body was covered in mud, and he looked extremely sloppy, like a beggar.

With a thought in Jiang Chi's mind, he immediately remembered who it was. There is such a capable beggar in the world, isn't it the leader of the beggar gang? Who else can there be besides him.

Nodding his head, he said: "Let's sit down and eat together, Rong'er will add a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Anyway, only the two of them ate this pot, and the guards and escorts of the Imperial City Division did not dare to come up to eat together, this is the rule.

"You're welcome to be so old, thank you little brother." Hong Qigong quickly thanked: "The old beggar can control everything, except his own mouth. In order to satisfy his appetite, even the palace hall can Dare to break in."

He was at ease, but Jiang Xiao shook his head after hearing this and said: "The old man is joking, the forbidden area of ​​the palace is so important, if you really break into it, even the magic crossbow in the hands of the imperial guards can kill you Shooting into a hedgehog, not to mention those priests who live in the palace and sit in the gate, even the congenital masters, the elderly need to pay attention to it in the future, if the officials did not think that you have done nothing wrong in resisting foreigners, and tacitly allowed you to enter and exit the forbidden palace, how could you Can still stand here."

Thousands of tens of thousands aimed at the divine machine crossbow, even the innate masters could hardly survive.

Hong Qigong was startled, looked carefully at Jiang Chi, then shook his head, "Although little brother is an official of the imperial court, don't fool the old beggar, although the magic crossbow is powerful, it is not enough to stop me."

He didn't think there was anything powerful about the Divine Machine Crossbow, Jiang Chi sighed slightly, and said, "I just remind the old man, believe it or not."

After forming a good relationship, if you really want to kill yourself, offend the officials one day, or offend people who shouldn't be offended, even the masters of the five innate talents can only die.

Hong Qigong didn't care about Jiang Que's reminder, looked at him and asked, "I don't know the name of the little brother? It's rare for an official to be as gentle as you."

Can invite his old beggar to eat meat and soup together, enjoy the delicacy of the mountains, if someone else would be so polite.

"I've been in Xiajiang, and I've heard Qigong's name for a long time." He clasped his fist a little bit, and performed the etiquette of a junior in the world. He is now practicing martial arts to build a foundation, and Hong Qigong has walked in the innate realm for many years. If he can give his advice That's good too, not to mention that Hong Qigong still has the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick in his hands. For Jiang Chi, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.

"You know me?" Hong Qigong was taken aback, wondering if he was so famous that even people in the government knew about it.

Jiang Kuang nodded, "There is no one like Qigong who has such a good appetite, has such advanced martial arts, and claims to be able to freely enter and leave the forbidden palace, except Hong Qigong, one of the legendary nine-fingered god beggars." others."

Qi Gong was silent, Huang Rong took the lead after drinking and eating, "Qi Gong, you ate our meat, did you pass on some martial arts to Brother Jiang, such as the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon and the Dog Beating Stick?" .”

She knew the martial arts that Jiang Xiao didn't know how to attack. The Ninth Rank Dao Kung Fu was just a way to increase the level of cultivation, not a technique of killing and fighting.

puff!

"What did you say?" Hong Qigong was stunned by Huang Rong's words, and he was stunned for 2 minutes, "The dog-beating stick method is the secret of my beggar gang, and the Eighteen Palms of Subduing Dragon is a matching martial art , you girl is trying to kill me as an old beggar."

Huang Rong's expression froze, but she said shyly, "Qigong, why don't you take Brother Jiang as your apprentice, so that it won't be considered a violation of the rules."

However, Hong Qigong shook his head and said: "Little girl, don't think that the old beggar doesn't know your background, if you stand up for this kid like this, I'm afraid your father Huang Laoxie will take off a layer of his skin if he finds out. Abduct his daughter, tsk tsk tsk!"

Jiang Chi's old face darkened, and he blinked and said, "I don't need Qigong to worry about this matter, I will deal with it myself. If Qigong teaches the beggar gang's unique knowledge, I will be grateful, and I will also carry forward the unique knowledge."

If the unique knowledge of the beggar gang can be integrated into the vajra bracelet, it will surely evolve some offensive methods, and it is unknown whether it will even make the Ninth Grade Daogong a higher level.

Wanting to learn from the beggars' sect, Hong Qigong would not allow it, looked carefully at Jiang Chi, and suddenly said: "Brother Ruojiang, you are willing to resign from office and go into hiding, and worship under my sect, inherit my mantle, and take over as the head of the beggars' sect in the future." It is not impossible to pass on the dog-beating stick method and the eighteen dragon-subduing palms to you."

He saw at a glance that Jiang Chi's aptitude was good, but his aura was strong and upright. It was a chance to get such an apprentice, and there would be successors, so it would not destroy the Beggars' Clan.

Huang Rong quickly gave Jiang Chi a wink, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, this is a great opportunity. If you can worship under Qigong's sect, you can't help but hold the whole gang of beggars in your hands, and you can also get Qigong's inheritance and protection. Innate Dao is not a problem either."

After all, the officialdom is not a place to stay for a long time, and there are constant grievances and grievances. She doesn't want Jiang Chi to be tricked out by someone inadvertently. Those who can enter the officialdom are a group of old foxes who eat people and don't spit out their bones.

"I make my own decision on this matter, Rong'er, you don't have to persuade me." Then Jiang Chi turned his attention to Hong Qigong, "Can Qigong change the conditions, firstly, the officials treat me well, wouldn't it be nice if I resign from office and go back to hiding?" I'm sorry for him, secondly, the Beggar Gang is too big, I heard that there are Dirty Clothes Gang and Jingyi Gang, I don't want to get involved in right and wrong, and thirdly, the exercises I practice are the fusion of the world's enlightenment, I'm afraid I won't be able to inherit your exercises, To tell you the truth, I want to use Qigong Beating Dog Stick Technique and Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms only to deduce suitable fighting martial arts for me."

Inheriting flawed martial arts?

He still can't do this, but in the end it is easy to damage the foundation, and he can't reach the Dao.

Hearing this, Hong Qigong's old face had already darkened, and he said angrily: "If you don't inherit the mantle of the old beggar, you still want to learn my martial arts? You must know that the law is not passed on to others."

No relatives, no reasons, no master-student friendship, who would pass on martial arts lightly, otherwise there would not be so many martial arts lost, even if it is passed down to disciples and sons, it is impossible to pass them all down.

Jiang Chi was not annoyed if he couldn't get Qigong's beggar's gang skills, and said lightly: "Since Qigong doesn't want me, I won't force it, let's discuss the Tao, dare to ask Qigong what is acquired and what is innate ?”

Hong Qigong was taken aback, he was not good at discussing Taoism, but seeing Jiang Chi's eagerness to seek Taoism, he had no choice but to say: "The day after tomorrow is the process of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians and continuously accumulating true energy. The bridge connecting the two meridians to heaven and earth is considered to be Houtian, but it is divided into the early days, middle stages, late stages, and consummation states according to how many meridians have been opened up. Nowadays, most people in the world are only in the early and middle stages of Houtian. There are also only a handful of people who are in the late day after tomorrow and reach the perfect state.

As for the innate state, in the old man's understanding, it is the bridge between heaven and earth, and the two channels of Ren and Du. Means, this is innate, this state is easy to say but difficult to do, the people in the world are stuck in the acquired consummation and can't make any progress, and the theory of innate five uniqueness is not groundless. "

There are very few strong people in the innate realm, so the rumors in the world are raging. Now, after hearing Hong Qigong's explanation, Jiang Xiao suddenly understands that there is also such a saying here that those who have not opened the bridge between Ren Du and Tiandi are counted as acquired.

"Thank you Qigong for pointing out the maze!" Jiang Que Wushi taught him that everything depends on self-cultivation. Even if he traveled to Qingxuan Continent for the first time, he was just an ordinary disciple in Haoran Xianzong.

"It's okay, you will know these things even if the old man doesn't tell you, the difference is only sooner or later." Hong Qigong didn't think that the theory of acquired nature was so precious, and it was not difficult to obtain it by means of the Imperial City Secretary. He was nothing more than a favor that went along with the flow.

"Qi Gong is in charge of the beggar gang, he found a way out for the world's poor, and he loves my Han family loyally, and protects the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Jiang Que admires it. I don't know if Qi Gong is willing to join our Imperial City Division and protect the people of the world? "

He couldn't find the Dog Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Jiang Chi could only feel regretful, but if he tied Hong Qigong by his side with the morality of the world, he would not only have a master standing in charge in the future, but also get his advice before he cultivated to the innate realm. It kills two birds with one stone.

Even Huang Rong's eyes were burning. If Qi Gong went to the Imperial City Department, it would be fun in the future, and she wouldn't stay in Jiang Chi's mansion all day, so she persuaded: "Qi Gong, you have the world in your heart. Brother Jiang can grant your wish."

Hong Qigong was stunned for a moment, a little moved, but then shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm an old beggar. Reasonable, let alone you, the Secretary of the Imperial City, the reason why you have a heart for the world is just because you can't bear to see the suffering of the people in the world."

After finishing speaking, Hong Qigong drifted away, leaving behind a dumbfounded Jiang Chi, who had no choice but to say in a deep voice, "Go back to Lin'an Mansion!"

The jade pendant in his hand is of great importance, and the person behind the scenes must be sent to the imperial prison newly set up by the Imperial City Division.

Ask for collection!

Chapter 7 Invite Your Excellency to Prison

In Lin'an Mansion, in the case-handling yamen of the Imperial City Division, the old god Jiang Chi was pondering over the exquisite jade pendant, and secretly sneered, "No matter who is behind the scenes, they must be taken down and questioned, colluding with other races to destroy our Han family, disaster... The people of my Han family, even if they die a hundred times, they will not be able to escape the blame!"

If these scumbags hadn't opened their eyes and didn't see, how could those thousand golden soldiers have gone south and entered the vicinity of Changzhou, looting thousands of gold and silver, countless jewels, and dozens of boxes of elixir.

"My lord." Just as he was thinking, Wang Qi, who had joined the Imperial City Division, walked slowly and said, "My lord, my subordinates have already found out the ownership of this jade pendant."

This Wang Qi was originally a scholar, but he was smart, and he knew that the Secretary of the Imperial City was the confidant of the official family, otherwise the official family would not be able to sit safely in the palace.

"who is it?"

Jiang Que was not surprised, Wang Qi became the first chief officer of the Imperial City Division, and he could mobilize the guards and chazi below if he got his order, if he couldn't investigate this, he would be nothing but a waste.

"Privy Envoy Shi Miyuan." Wang Qi paused and replied respectfully.

"Find me all his files." Jiang Xiao didn't know much about this person, and Jia Sidao had only heard rumors on the Internet that he was a famous traitor. Compared with him, Shi Miyuan was not as famous. Not too big.

"My lord, these are all files of Shi Miyuan." Wang Qi quickly sent in the files with a serious expression on his face, because Shi Miyuan was not simple.

Opening the case file, Jiang Chi was slightly taken aback, "The former Shangshu Youpu shot the third son of Shi Hao, a Jinshi in the 14th year of Chunxi, a former prime minister and privy envoy, if it wasn't for my crossing over, that bastard Jia Sidao would get the official house in advance Appreciation has become the prime minister, I am afraid that Shi Miyuan will still have power in the court and the public for many years."

But even if Shi Miyuan is not the prime minister, as a privy envoy, he has great power and is in charge of military and political power. If he unites with several other big men in the privy council, Shi Miyuan can speak his mind, just like the emperor.

Frowning slightly, Jiang Xiao played with the jade pendant and asked, "How can we be sure it's him?"

Shi Miyuan is old and treacherous, and has been in the court for decades. To put it bluntly, Li Zong Zhao Yun is not a prince, and Shi Miyuan is responsible for becoming emperor. This is the work of a dragon. It's not easy to explain there.

"My lord, there is a word of Buddha written on this jade pendant. That Shi Miyuan was enlightened by the monks of Shaolin Temple and given the nickname Jingzhai. It is said that the monks of Shaolin Temple once said that he would take him into Buddhism. Now that Shaolin has closed the mountain, this jade pendant Naturally, it was made by Shi Miyuan, and his subordinates looked through the files and found that he had produced such a jade pendant, and he also had an identical piece in his hand, which represented a token." Wang Qi replied respectfully, he had already heard about this kind of jade pendant. After inquiring clearly, it turns out that Shi Miyuan, Mr. Shi was a treacherous minister.

"Shi Miyuan is in some trouble." If the evidence is solid, he can use the law to crush Shi Miyuan to death.

Wang Qi was startled, and suddenly said: "Master, are you afraid of Master Shi's identity?"

The majestic Imperial City Secretary will also be afraid of the other party's failure?

"You don't understand." Jiang Xiao shook his head, and said lightly, "Then Shi Miyuan has the merits of following the dragon. Whether we have any real evidence, the officials can't convict him."

From the merits of the dragon, as long as he does not commit suicide, the officials will save his life.

After pondering for a while, Wang Qi said: "My lord, Shi Miyuan colluded with foreigners to harm the people of our Han family. As the imperial city governor, are you just sitting by and watching?"

How innocent ordinary people are, Jiang Xiao really couldn't bear it, his face showed a trace of anger, "Shi Miyuan really deserves to die, he has contacts with Jin Guo, he must have letters, if he can take the opportunity to arrest him, maybe he can find it."

As long as there is iron-like evidence, he can send Shi Miyuan to the Imperial Prison as a warning to others.

"Wang Qi." Jiang Que immediately ordered: "Go and ask the brothers below to prepare some experts to search together with Ben Tiju."

"Yes!" Wang Qi nodded, "Your subordinates will go prepare now."

Shifu, in the hall.

The old god Shi Miyuan was drinking tea on the ground when he suddenly yelled, "Master, something is wrong."

The old housekeeper's horrified voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, breaking the silence in the peaceful hall, "What's the sense of panic? What happened?"

It hasn't collapsed yet.

"Master, the whole group of Jin soldiers who went south was wiped out, and the Kingdom of Jin is questioning us, and even said they want to take back the money they gave us before." The old housekeeper explained, and Shi Miyuan's eyes widened.

"What did you say? The whole army of one thousand gold soldiers was wiped out?" He shook his head and said, "Impossible, those one thousand gold soldiers are all elites, even the regular army of Song Dynasty would never want to wipe them out.

The old butler looked distressed, "Master, it is said that the people from the Imperial City Department did it, and only the leading general was summoned back, but he also died in the end, but the Sixth Prince has already blamed it, saying that we should report to the Imperial City Department." It’s only because of the informant that the secretary has this calamity, so I have to give you an explanation, sir.”

The butler had a bitter look on his face. He thought it was just a seamless plan, but who knew it was all for nothing, and caused a lot of trouble for no reason. Although there was money in the account, once the matter was revealed, everything would be closed.

"Explanation? Master, what explanation should I give him to the Kingdom of Jin? Tell them that letting him wait to go south is already for the sake of money. If the sixth prince doesn't know what is good and what is bad, he will never want to find me again in the future." Shi Miyuan said with a look on his face. The anger, what is this called, do you think you are easy to bully?

Outrageous!

He is not afraid that Wanyan Honglie will be held accountable. This is Lin'an Mansion, the center of the Southern Song Dynasty. Now that the Jin Kingdom is in decline, the Mongols on the grasslands have risen under the leadership of Temujin, and the Jin Kingdom is their number one confidant.

The butler didn't dare to answer, and could only smile wryly.

"Is this done cleanly?" Shi Miyuan asked coldly again: "If those vicious dogs of the Imperial City Division smell the smell, maybe something bad will happen."

Although he kept the matter of betraying the country and seeking glory a secret, if he left a handle on the Imperial City Secretary, his life in Lin'an Mansion might not be easy in the future—even if he was once an invincible prime minister, who ruled the emperor's fortune, now he is gone. You are a privy envoy in charge of military and political power.

"Master, don't worry, the letters between us and the sixth prince are all in the mansion, and the token jade pendant is only owned by the leading general, but I heard that the general escaped from the sky at that time, so the jade pendant is still in his hands. "The old housekeeper pondered for a while, then began to analyze.

Shi Miyuan nodded irresistibly, "Since this is the case, the old man can rest assured, haha, although the Imperial City Secretary is like a dog, he still can't bite the old man."

With a cold snort, Shi Miyuan was extremely proud.

"Master, something is bad."

Just when Shi Miyuan and the old housekeeper were about to discuss further, there was a tragic sound at the door of the mansion, and the guard at the gate screamed in pain. After a while, there was no movement, and it was unknown if he was dead.

"What's going on again?" Shi Miyuan slapped the table, furious, "It's impossible to treat this old man as dead, but he's bullied one after another, and the old man's not dead yet!"

Just as he was furious, a cold and stern voice came from far to near, "Master Shi, something happened to you, I should go here."

If you enter the marsh prison, you will die if you don't die.

"Imperial City Secretary!" Shi Miyuan's old face turned black, and he was very angry, "Just because you vicious dogs want to bite this old man? You can know that this old man was once a prime minister, and now he is a privy envoy to the world, in charge of military and political power, If your Imperial City Secretary retreats just like that, the old man will act as if nothing happened, but if you don't know what to do, then don't blame the old man for not being sympathetic."

Jiang lacked an official uniform and black boots on the marble floor as he came in, his eyes fell on Shi Miyuan, "Master Shi, colluding with other races and bringing them into the customs is a serious crime of treason, even if you have great power, you can't wash away your sins, follow me Let's go, the prison is ready."
