Chapter 229 Chen Jiusi? Can he do it?
Xiaohu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiusi, how was Yelu poisoned to death?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "This is actually quite simple."

Then Chen Jie said, "The dragon-patterned pufferfish is not poisonous, and the antidote is not poisonous, so where is the poison?"

"The poison is actually in Yelu himself."

"On Yelu's own body?"

Chen Xiaohu frowned and said in confusion: "Brother Jiu Si, I don't understand."

Chen Jie smiled and took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xiaohu.

"Take a look."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohu immediately took the book and found out that it was the secret book of the Five Poison Sect, and it was the chapter on Gu.

Xiao Hu frowned and said, "I don't think I've ever seen this book before!"

Chen Jie said: "This is one of the core books of the Five Poison Sect, called the Gu Poison Chapter."

"Ah, Brother Jiu Si, where did you get this secret book of the Five Poison Sect? I think the one I gave you didn't have any chapters on poison."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie smiled but said nothing. Where did he get it from? Of course it was the inheritance of Changchun Valley. Changchun Valley was a famous medical family, and medicine and poison had been inseparable since ancient times.

This chapter on poison is one of the collections in Changchun Valley.

It also talks about some inheritance issues of the Five Poisons Sect.

The Five Poisons Sect is located in western Hunan, where ethnic minorities gather, including the Tujia, Miao, Hui, Dong and many other ethnic groups.

Many ethnic groups live together, forming the mysterious Xiangxi.

The Xiangxi Five Poisons Sect was formed by these ethnic groups, and they also brought many ethnic groups' unique methods into the sect.

There are five sects that form the core, so together they are called the Five Poison Sects.

These include the Miao people's Gu poison, the corpse poison of the corpse chaser, etc...

Changchunzi, the master of Changchun Valley, had been to western Hunan and fought with people from the Five Poison Sect, so he obtained some of their skills, such as this half-volume of the Miao people's book on poison.

Chen Jie's original idea was to prepare poison and put it inside the antidote.

Then they would use the poison of puffer fish to trick Yelu into swallowing the poisonous antidote, or they would mix poisons together: the antidote is non-toxic, while the puffer fish is non-toxic, but when mixed together they become highly poisonous.

But after thinking about it, there is always a flaw.

Yelu was a man who was very good at finding flaws, so Chen Jie could not leave any handle for him.

If you want to poison Yelu, you have to make sure he has no chance of fighting back.

So after flipping through the books, Chen Jie came across the chapter on poison in the inheritance of Changchun Valley.

There is an chapter in the chapter on poison called the human chapter, which records a process of using humans as a petri dish to cultivate highly poisonous blood Gu.

It was written that the best breeding ground for this kind of blood parasite is the fishermen by the river, especially those who often eat raw fish.

These fishermen look very strong, but they have a large number of water bugs living in their bodies, which would be fine if they don't usually get sick.

If it is stimulated by the blood parasite, these water insects will immediately become the nutrients of the blood parasite. The blood parasite can grow up in a short time, and then the blood parasite will bite the internal organs of the cultivator, and the cultivator will completely lose his value.

After reading this article, Chen Jie immediately thought of Yelu. Although this man was not a fisherman, he ate sashimi almost every day. You know, even ordinary fishermen did not eat sashimi every day.

Eating sashimi for a long time caused a large number of parasites in his body. Well, they should be the water insects recorded in the chapter on poison.

Such a Yelu is a natural incubator for the blood parasite. As long as he swallows the blood parasite, he will definitely be poisoned by it and achieve his assassination purpose.

So Chen Jie hid the blood Gu in the antidote.

The blood parasite itself is not poisonous. It becomes poisonous only after it is cultivated. In other words, it is not poisonous, but a biological instinct that causes it to start tearing apart the host's internal organs.

As for the master and disciple Wu Kuaidao, Chen Jie had already given them medicine to prevent the growth of blood parasites. Secondly, although the two were masters of sashimi, they seldom ate it.

The reason is very simple, that is the industry practice of their industry.

The first lesson for all sashimi apprentices is to eat sashimi, and they have to eat it every day for a whole month. At this time, you will naturally feel physiological discomfort when you see sashimi.

That is what common people say: eating too much will hurt you.

From then on, they would never think of eating sashimi again. This would put an end to the habit. When they were making sashimi for their hosts, they would steal other people's sashimi.

It is precisely because of this that there is no environment suitable for the growth of blood parasites in their bodies. In addition, with the antidote given by Chen Jie in advance, the blood parasites do not pose any harm to them.

At the beginning, Ahetai fed the slaves the antidote and it was fine. The reason was simple. The slaves had not seen any meat for a whole year, let alone raw fish. They usually ate sorghum rice mixed with bran. Where did the parasites come from to provide a growth environment for the blood parasites?

Therefore, the slaves were fine after drinking the antidote.

Chen Jie told Xiaohu the whole cause and effect. Xiaohu exclaimed, "Brother Jiusi, you are so powerful. Who can stop you from poisoning like this?"

Chen Jie just smiled and said, "That's good. Now that Yelu is dead, the situation in Mianshui has improved a lot. We can take this opportunity to recruit all the other small gangs in Mianshui. Then Mianshui will belong to our Fishermen's Gang alone."

"In addition, the county magistrate Tang Wannian has also surrendered to us, so we have an advantage in the officialdom. Now I have laid a solid foundation for them. As long as Zhou Chu and his men do not mess around, in a month or two, they will be able to build a copper wall and iron barrel around the entire Mianshui River. In this way, even if the court sends down the Luhuachi again in the future, we can successfully undermine them."

"From now on, this Mian River is our Mian River."

After hearing this, Xiaohu's eyes lit up: "Brother Jiusi, then we have become the local emperor of Mianshui."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "What else?"

Xiao Hu said: "Brother Jiu Si, since we are the local emperor, why should we leave Mianshui?"

Chen Jie said: "Haha... If we stay in Mianshui, we can only be frogs in the well. Huzi, remember, this Mianshui is just our starting point, our goal is the world!"

"The world!"

When Xiaohu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Brother, you can definitely become the emperor."

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Xiao Hu said: "Because brother, you are only suitable to be an emperor, otherwise it will be difficult to realize your ambitions no matter what you do!"

Chen Jie rolled his eyes at Xiao Hu and said, "When did you learn how to flatter?"

Xiaohu said: "I'm not exaggerating, everything I said is true."

Seeing Xiaohu like this, Chen Jie said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell your subordinates now that it's still a day and a night's journey to Mianshui, so everyone should be alert. Also, when you get to Huangzhou Prefecture, you must keep a low profile and not cause any trouble until you understand the situation clearly."

"Yes, Boss, I'll go right away."

Xiaohu said this and ran to convey the order.

……

In this way, without any conversation along the way, the group soon arrived at Huangzhou Prefecture.

Huangzhou Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Hubei Road, and there were a total of eight county towns under its jurisdiction, namely Huanggang, Macheng, Huangpo, Yong'an, Mianshui, Luotian, Guangji and Huangmei.

With a population of nearly 800,000, it is a veritable big city.

The city of Huangzhou was even more magnificent. After a bumpy journey, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Huangzhou city.

I saw the Huangzhou city wall, which was worthy of being the city wall of a provincial capital, and was much higher than that of Mianshui County.

The city wall of Mianshui County is only three meters high, but the city wall of Huangzhou Prefecture is more than six meters high.

The area within the city is also much larger than that of Mianshui County.

The entire Huangzhou Prefecture is divided into five urban districts: east, west, south, north and center. The area of ​​one of the urban districts is comparable to the size of Mianshui County.

The situation in the city is also very complicated, with various forces intertwined and each occupying one side.

Before coming, Chen Jie had already investigated all the forces involved.

The most powerful one among them is the city center area, which is the sphere of influence of the Darughachi of Huangzhou Prefecture and the third young prince of Ruyang Palace.

The third young prince of Ruyang Palace, as the local Darughachi, has a cavalry unit of 2,000 men and is known to be invincible.

Then there is the prefectural government office located in the East City. The East City Gate is where the prefect is located.

The prefect Chu Tian was born into the family of the current prime minister Tuotuo and was a slave of Tuotuo, so he had a high status. Although he was a Han Chinese, he still had a place in Mianshui County and was a person who had the final say.

Unlike Tang Wannian from Mianshui County, he is a very opinionated person.

Moreover, Dongcheng is also the sphere of influence of Hong Jianmen, and Hong Jianmen is also an important force under the control of Prefect Chu Tian.

Apart from East City, there is West City. West City is the Tongpan Yamen, which is in charge of all the interrogations, lawsuits and other related cases in the city. The top leader is the Tongpan, who is a Mulan noble named Ulutai!

Its sphere of influence is mainly West City, which is also the territory of Chunxiang Pavilion. Chunxiang Pavilion is a female cultivation sect. The current leader is Madam Chunxiang, who is also the legal wife of Tongpan.

In addition to these three major forces, there is also the garrison office in the northern city.

The garrison office was supported by the King of Qi, and its agent was Batan, the same Batan who was killed by Chen Jie. However, he was only an agent in name only.

In fact, the real agent of the Garrison Office is Li Yongzhen, a disciple of the Kunlun School.

He is a powerful warrior at the Wolf Smoke Realm and an inner disciple of the Kunlun Sect.

As for why it was the Kunlun Sect, it was because the Kunlun Sect had surrendered to King Qi Li Siqi and became Li Siqi's assistant.

The condition that Li Siqi gave them was to allow them to enjoy privileges within Qinghai Road and to have priority in selecting disciples, and the Prince Qi's Mansion would fully support them.

Therefore, the Kunlun faction has completely turned to the side of King Qi Li Siqi.

This is also the first example of the six major sects expressing support for a certain imperial power.

Some people say that Kunlun is trying to curry favor, others say that Kunlun has brought shame to the Han warriors by surrendering to the imperial court. However, the Kunlun sect does not care about this at all, and even threatens that whoever dares to speak ill of them again will be gambled with according to the rules of the underworld, and the loser will shut up!
And Kunlun has now realized that reputation in the martial arts world is nothing but a passing cloud and is not as important as tangible benefits.

Therefore, Kunlun sent a large number of disciples to join the Prince of Qi's Palace and serve the Prince of Qi's Palace.

The Prince Qi's Palace also attached great importance to it, and therefore directly sent Kunlun disciples to each of his forces.

Therefore, the Beicheng Town Garrison Office is also Kunlun's territory.

Apart from these, there is only West City left.

West City is a mixed bag, similar to the former South City of Mianshui County, where various small sects divide the streets for management.

This also includes the former fishing gang.

This is the current balance status of Huangzhou Prefecture.

It can be said that the situation in Huangzhou Prefecture is different from that in Mianshui County. In Mianshui County, the county seat is divided by two major gangs, and these two gangs are both Darughachi Prefectures, managed by Yelu.

But this is not the case in Huangzhou Prefecture. In Huangzhou Prefecture, each force supports a martial arts sect, and then fights with each other to gain benefits.

Among them was the young prince of Ruyang Palace, whose force consisted mainly of two thousand black cavalry.

The Dongcheng prefect Chu Tian’s power mainly comes from the Hong Jian Sect.

Ulutai, the magistrate of Nancheng, mainly relies on Chunxiang Pavilion for his power.

Batan, the defender of Beicheng, gets his power from Kunlun, a supporter of the Prince of Qi's Palace.

The most chaotic place is West City, which is a mixed bag of people, with many sects mixed together, including the former fishing gang.

The Fishermen's Gang was also a big force in the city back then. Unfortunately, when the power was divided in Huangzhou Prefecture, the Fishermen's Gang failed to find a qualified backer and was kicked out.

Chen Jie looked at the distribution of power in the entire Huangzhou Prefecture and had to say that the ruthless people in Huangzhou Prefecture were much more powerful than those in Mianshui County.

Moreover, after asking around, Chen Jie also found out that there were four dragons and eight tigers, twelve top masters in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Especially the four dragons, they are true masters, and it is said that each of them has the strength of Changhong Realm.

I wonder if everyone is familiar with Changhong Realm.

After Hua Jin comes Bao Dan, after Bao Dan comes Lang Yan, after Lang Yan comes Chang Hong Jing.

Among the four dragons and eight tigers of Huangzhou Prefecture, the four dragons are all strong men in the Changhong realm and are also real big bosses. However, these four do not act easily.

Therefore, general affairs of Huangzhou Prefecture were handled by the Eight Tigers.

Each of the Eight Tigers is a strong man in the Wolf Smoke Realm, and these twelve are the most powerful in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Jie was thinking about the masters of Huangzhou Prefecture, and the convoy had slowly arrived at the foot of the city.

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the city, Chen Jie saw a group of people gathered at the foot of the city. There were five hundred black-armored knights guarding on the side, and hundreds of people waiting at the door.

The most conspicuous among them are a few people standing at the city gate, whose temperament is obviously different from others.

These people were all elegant and graceful, wearing official robes, and looked like they were of noble status.

One of the young men was wearing black armor and looked very imposing.

Chen Jie rode up to Ah San and asked, "Brother Ah San, who is that?"

Seeing this, Ah San said, "Oh, the Third Prince."

Chen Jie was stunned, and Ah San said, "Huangzhou Prefecture Darughachi, the third son of the Prince of Ruyang, the third brother of the princess, Kuyuk Timur."

"Who?"

Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Asan. What was his name?
"Kuko Timur, how come you know this name?"

Ah San looked at Chen Jie curiously. Chen Jie shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just thought he must be a hero because he was wearing a black armor, so I was curious."

After hearing this, Ah San said, "I thought you knew him."

Chen Jie smiled bitterly. How could he not recognize him?

Kuyuk Timur is a famous figure in later generations. You may feel unfamiliar with this name, but if you change his name, everyone will know who he is as soon as they hear it.

He also has a Han Chinese name, called: Wang Baobao!

That’s right, it’s Wang Baobao, the man called the most extraordinary man in the world by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was also the last famous general in the late Yuan Dynasty.

His mother was the sister of Prince Ruyang. Later, when his parents died early, he was sent to the Prince Ruyang's Palace, and Prince Ruyang Chagan Temur adopted him as his son.

Therefore, it ranks third in the palace.

"Third Brother!"

When Zhao Ya saw Wang Baobao, she immediately shouted excitedly.

He immediately jumped off his horse, and everyone followed suit. Zhao Ya ran directly to the city gate, bowed to Wang Baobao and said, "Greetings, Third Brother."

Wang Baobao was also very happy to see his sister. He performed the desert etiquette and hugged Zhao Ya.

However, his armor hurt Zhao Ya so much that she said, "Third brother, it hurts."

Wang Baobao was immediately embarrassed and said, "Haha, I forgot, I haven't taken off my armor yet."

Zhao Ya looked at Wang Baobao and asked, "Third brother, are you training again?"

Wang Baobao laughed and said, "Haha, I have nothing to do with the affairs in the city, so I will go outside the city to practice the black armor cavalry when I have nothing to do."

Zhao Ya said, "Third brother, do you still like training soldiers so much?"

Wang Baobao said: "Haha, a real man should fight to the death on the battlefield. This kind of military training is the joy of being a man."

After saying this, Wang Baobao pointed behind him and said, "Come, Yaya, let me introduce you to the officials of this city."

As he spoke, Wang Baobao pulled Zhao Ya to the back.

Then a fat official wearing a flying bird costume saluted Zhao Ya and said, "Huangzhou Prefecture Governor, Chu Tian greets the princess."

Chu Tian said this with a smile, and when he smiled, the chubby wrinkles on his face were stretched out, making him look particularly festive.

He is a harmless guy.

If you didn't know that he was one of the four dragons and eight tigers in the city, no one would have thought that this fat guy was actually a master.

Zhao Ya clasped her fists in return: "Greetings to Governor Chu."

As soon as the two met, Wang Baobao pointed to another person and said, "This one is the local Tongpan, from the Wu Keercha family's Wulutai."

"Urutai has met the princess."

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Tongpan."

At this time, Wang Baobao said: "As for the rest, they are all officials of this government, so I won't introduce them to you one by one. Just clasp your fists and salute with everyone else."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, Zhao Ya is here in Huangzhou Prefecture, please take good care of me."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said, "Of course, of course."

"I've been waiting to see the princess."

Everyone bowed to Zhao Ya one by one. Zhao Ya then said to Wang Baobao: "Brother, let me introduce someone to you."

Wang Baobao asked, "Who is it?"

Zhao Ya said: "Chen Jiusi."

Chen Jie stepped forward immediately upon hearing this. Zhao Ya said, "Jiu Si, this is my third brother, Kuyuk Timur. Oh, he also has a Chinese name, Wang Baobao."

"Third brother, this is my new staff member, Chen Jiusi, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen is very capable. If you have any problems, you can ask Mr. Chen for help."

Hearing this, Wang Baobao said with a calm smile on his face: "Oh, Mr. Chen, hello."

Although Wang Baobao looked quite friendly, Chen Jie could see contempt in his tone and eyes. Yes, it was contempt. This Wang Baobao obviously didn't take him seriously! But this was exactly what he meant.

As he had just arrived, Chen Jie didn't want to make too much noise, so it was better to keep a low profile.

So Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Chen Jiusi, I greet the young prince."

Wang Baobao frowned when he heard this and said, "Just call me Darughachi."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, you should leave first."

Chen Jie frowned, not knowing what had irritated Wang Baobao. He could only clasp his fists and say, "I'll take my leave."

Zhao Ya looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Third brother, he didn't know either. He didn't mean to call me that. Don't be angry."

Wang Baobao smiled at Zhao Ya and said, "I'm not angry, but have you, as an aide, investigated this?"

Zhao Ya said: "I have investigated and found that he is a native of Mianshui and is very talented. The roads under his management are free from looting and doors are not locked at night."

Wang Baobao squinted his eyes and said, "No one picks up lost items on the road, and no one locks their doors at night. That's the government's business. What does it have to do with him? He's the magistrate of Mianshui County."

Zhao Ya said: "No, he is the leader of the fishing gang."

Wang Baobao said coldly: "A gangster in the underworld is trying to exercise the power of the imperial court. Do you still regard such a person as a treasure?"

Zhao Ya said: "Third brother, I have my own way of doing things. I don't care about your affairs, and you don't care about mine either."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao said, "Okay, Yaya, we get angry when we discuss court affairs. Today we are happy, so let's not talk about these. Let's go, there is a banquet in my house, let's just eat and drink today, and not talk about other things."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Humph, that's better. Besides, you are not allowed to touch my people, otherwise I will ignore you. I mean what I say."

Wang Baobao said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, Wang Baobao said, "Then please come in, Yaya."

Zhao Ya said: "Humph, if you can't do it, I will really ignore you."

Wang Baobao said: "I know, I know..."

At this time, Chen Jie also returned to the team. At this time, Ah San came over and said, "The young prince is not easy to approach."

Chen Jie said, "Brother Ah San, I just called him Little Prince, but he got angry. Why?"

Ah San heard this and said, "Although he was raised by the prince, he has been in the military camp since he was a child. He has reached his current position step by step, all by relying on military merit. Therefore, we mostly refer to him by his position, and never call him the little prince."

"He felt that the title of young prince was an insult to him, as if it was saying that he got to his position through nepotism."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "No wonder, I call him Little Prince, but he looks down on me anyway."

Ah San said: "That's right, from now on, we should just call other people "Daruhachi Sir"."

Chen Jie nodded slightly: "Yes, that makes sense. By the way, Ah San brother, after entering the city, you go to the Darughachi Mansion first. I will settle my family first and then go to the Darughachi Mansion to find you."

After hearing this, Ah San said, "Okay, but hurry up."

Chen Jie said: "Well, the house I bought is in the west city, close to the central Yelu Mansion. It will be very quick."

After hearing this, Ah San said, "I'll go and tell the princess for you. She will agree."

Chen Jie said: "Thank you, brother Ah San."

Ah San said, "Haha, from now on we will all share the same ladle, why are you saying this, Captain Chen?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Yes, yes, three hundred households."

Chen Jie also clasped his fists and followed the group into the city.

As soon as they entered the city, Asan rode his horse up to the princess. Wang Baobao knew Asan, so Asan saluted Wang Baobao, and Wang Baobao nodded in return.

At this time, Ah San came to the princess's ear and said, "Princess, Chen Jiusi said he wanted to settle his family first before going to the banquet."

"Oh, it's okay, let him settle his family first."

Zhao Ya said. After hearing this, Wang Baobao frowned and said, "How can this be? He is Ya Ya's staff member and should focus on Ya Ya's affairs. How can he be allowed to do whatever he wants? Is there still hierarchy?"

"Third brother."

Zhao Ya called out to Wang Baobao, who said helplessly, "Okay, whatever you want to do, I don't care."

"But my party welcomes my sister, not people like him who have no respect for their superiors."

Wang Baobao was speaking angrily. At this time, the prefect Chu Tian, ​​who was standing beside him, forced a smile on his face and said, "Master Darughachi, special people must have special qualities. You should be more tolerant."

After hearing Chu Tian's words, Wang Baobao's expression relaxed. Chu Tian still had a lot of face in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Even though Wang Baobao had just arrived, he was still very caring, so when Chu Tian spoke up at this time, Wang Baobao had to give face.

Zhao Ya also said: "Master Chu is right. Chen Jiusi is indeed talented. Whether it is governing the country, solving criminal cases, or martial arts, he is a rare talent."

"Haha, criminal case solved?"

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Wulutai, the Tongpan of Huangzhou Prefecture, said, "Haha, Princess, don't exaggerate. If you say that he has the ability to govern the country, I can't verify it in a short time, and it's not easy to expose it."

"But the criminal case was solved?"

"I'm afraid he can't do it?"

Wulutai said with a look of disbelief that solving a case is not something that anyone can do.

Zhao Ya frowned upon hearing this and asked, "The judge doesn't believe it?"

Wulutai said: "Haha, I am the judge of this prefecture, in charge of criminal cases. How can I not know that the circumstances of criminal cases are complicated and treacherous? How can anyone dare to say that he is proficient in criminal cases? Isn't it ridiculous? Hahaha..."

After hearing what Wulutai said, Zhao Ya said, "Master Tongpan, you don't believe it?"

Wulutai said: "I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, you can find an old case and give it to my aide to see if he can help you solve it."

Zhao Ya spoke.

Wulutai waved his hand and said, "Hey, Princess, you are joking. How can we hand over such a serious case to any random person? Princess, you can't treat this case as a joke."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya frowned and looked at Wulutai and asked, "Wulutai, what do you mean?"

Wulutai said: "Please don't be upset, Princess. I just said it casually. It's nothing to worry about. It's nothing to worry about."

As he said this, the prefect Chu Tian on the side said, "Okay, you two, okay, you two."

"Since the princess said that this person is proficient in solving cases, he must have his own unique way of doing things. We can't just reject him. If there are difficult cases in the future, we can let him try. Who knows, there might be unexpected gains."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "What Governor Chu said is very true."

On the other side, Wang Baobao said, "Haha, there will be a chance, but by then, I hope that the aide you value, Yaya, is not a big empty pillow."

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Brother, don't worry. The staff I selected are definitely talented and will definitely impress you."

Wang Baobao said: "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

As he spoke, Wang Baobao rode his horse and said, "Hurry up, everyone. The whole lamb in the mansion should have been roasted."

As they spoke, the group rushed straight to the Darughachi Mansion.

At this time, Chen Jie led his men to turn around and take a detour to enter West City. West City was quite prosperous, and the Mian River was far away from it.

At this time, the curtain of a carriage was lifted, and then a little head was seen appearing. It was Ruirui.

"Wow, sister, this place is much more prosperous than our Mianshui County..."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Ruirui, quickly pull your head back and don't fall out of the carriage."

Ruirui said: "Sister, sister, look, there are candy figures for sale over there. I want to eat some."

"Sister, there is a chest-breaking stone over there. I really want to see it."

"elder sister……"

Ruirui called out, and Su Yunjin said, "Ruirui, come back soon. If you don't come back, I'll be angry!"

After hearing this, Ruirui said, "Sister, can you just let me watch for a while? It's really interesting."

Su Yunjin said: "Don't mess around. You are unfamiliar with the place. Don't cause trouble for your brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Ruirui immediately shrank his head and said, "Oh."

But at this moment, a horse suddenly came over, and then handed in a string of candied haws through the window.

Ruirui was startled, then turned around and saw Chen Jie and said, "Brother-in-law."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't stay still. Be honest and listen to your sister. Huangzhou is not like our Mianshui. I don't know how many dangers are waiting for us. You don't want to be captured like last time, do you?"

Ruirui was stunned and said, "Oh, I see."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Be good, eat your candied haws."

Chen Jie handed Ruirui another cigarette and said, "Give one to your sister."

Ruirui said: "Sister, if you don't like it, I can eat two."

Chen Jie said to Ruirui, "You little greedy cat, you only know how to take as much as you can. Don't worry, I bought a lot, and there's more if you want to eat more."

Ruirui heard this and said, "Brother-in-law, I was just kidding you. Ruirui only eats one candied haws a day. This one is for sister."

As he said that, he handed the candied haws to Su Yunjin: "Sister, have some candied haws."

Chen Jie then rode his horse to another carriage and said, "Wan'er."

Du Juan opened the car window curtains, and Huang Wan'er asked, "What's the matter, husband?"

Chen Jie said: "We've been on a long journey, so let's have some candied haws."

Huang Wan'er took the candied haws and said, "Thank you, husband."

In this way, the group leisurely came to a big house in the west city. This big house used to be the residence of a silk merchant. Unfortunately, when they went out to purchase goods, they encountered bandits on the way and their money was torn up.

The house was put up for sale, and Chen Jie bought it.

Moreover, the mansion had been cleaned in advance, and some domestic servants and workers were mobilized from the Mian River.

It can be said that almost all the people in this yard are from Chen Jie's fishing gang. Chen Jie's purpose is to make the two ladies feel that although they have changed places, their living environment has not changed much, so that they can rest assured and take care of their pregnancies.

Soon Chen Jie settled his family in the house.

He let Xiaohu be responsible for the subsequent settlement of the house, and followed Chen Jie on horseback to the Darughachi Mansion.

"stop."

The black-armored cavalrymen outside the Darughachi Mansion stopped Chen Jie and asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Jie looked at the black-armored cavalry and felt that they were much more powerful than those from Mianshui, especially their armor, which was a dark red color. At first glance it looked black, but upon closer inspection it was like a flame buried under charcoal.

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "I am Chen Jiusi, a centurion under the command of the princess."

The black-armored cavalry said, "What centurion Chen Jiusi? I don't know him. Let's go. Our Darughachi Mansion is not something that anyone can enter. Let's go!"

Chen Jie frowned and was about to speak when he saw a man appear at the door. When he saw Chen Jie, he immediately said, "You are Captain Chen under the command of the princess."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I am Chen Jie."

Upon hearing this, the man came down immediately and said, "My dear brother, this is a captain under the command of Princess Zhao Ya. I am here to take him into the palace on the orders of the Princess."

The black cavalryman looked at the man in front of him and said, "General Wang, are you serious?"

The young man said, "Why would I lie to you, brother?"

The black cavalryman heard this and said, "Okay, since it's General Wang who's speaking, I'll let him in."

"But my Darughachi Mansion is an important place of the imperial court and you are not allowed to wander around, do you understand?"

The black-armored cavalry was very arrogant. Chen Jie bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."

"go in."

Having said that, Chen Jie followed General Wang and walked inside.

As they walked, Wang the Lieutenant General said, "They are all arrogant and brave generals who were transferred from the White Deer Army by Lord Darughachi. We are always troubled by them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie bowed to Army Officer Wang and said, "I have yet to ask for your name."

"Oh, you're welcome, Brother Chen. I'm Wang Wenyuan, a sixth-rank recorder and military officer under the prefect."

Chen Jie said: "Chen Jiusi, a seventh-rank centurion."

Officer Wang: "Haha, Brother Chen is a close friend of the princess, unlike us lowly officials, hahaha, no need to report your rank."

Chen Jie said: "What's the difference between status and no status? Brother Wang helped me out this time, and I haven't thanked you yet."

Wang Wenyuan said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to be polite. The main reason I came here is that my prefect wants to make friends with the princess, so he wants to make friends with you."

Chen Jie looked at Wang Wenyuan and said, "Brother Wang, can you express such a calculation out loud?"

Wang Wenyuan said: "Haha, anyone with a discerning eye knows it, so why bother deceiving yourself? It makes you look more upright."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Wang Wenyuan and said, "Hahaha, Brother Wang is really a wonderful person."

As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the mansion, and then they saw that the level of luxury here was not comparable to the Yelu Mansion in Mianshui County.

The two soon came to a large courtyard. At that time, there was a group of people singing and dancing in the courtyard. They were dancing Mulan's traditional dance.

There is an iron rack in the middle, with charcoal underneath and a whole lamb tied to the rack. The chef is rotating the grill there.

When Chen Jiusi arrived, he saw Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao sitting in the main seats, eating roasted whole lamb and singing.

When Chen Jie arrived, Zhao Ya saw him and nodded slightly. When Wang Baobao saw Zhao Ya nod, he turned around and saw Chen Jie. His face became ugly, but he didn't say anything. He always felt that his sister's aide was not a good person.

While he was thinking about this, Chen Jie was taken to a separate seat at the outermost edge of the banquet.

Wang Wenyuan's seat was originally very close to the front, next to the prefect, but seeing how lonely Chen Jie was, he sat next to him and said, "I'll drink a few cups with Brother Chen."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Haha, there's no need to be like that. Chen is not that fragile."

Wang Wenyuan said, "Come and drink if you are so kind to me."

Seeing that Wang Wenyuan was sincere, Chen Jie did not refuse to drink with him.

The two of them didn't know how many cups they had drunk. Wang Wenyuan stood up shakily and said, "Jiu Si, I'm going to the toilet first. I'll come back and drink another 300 cups with you."

With that, Wang Wenyuan walked straight to the backyard. A full quarter of an hour passed like this. Chen Jie felt something was wrong. Why did it take so long to go to the toilet? Did he fall in the toilet?

Chen Jie was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a scream was heard: "Ah! Someone's dead!"

With the cry of death, the singing and dancing in the venue suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at everything in shock. What was going on?
At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard, and a man who looked like a housekeeper ran over and said, "Master, someone died in our toilet."

After hearing this, Chen Jie suddenly felt something was wrong. Toilet, could it be Wang Wenyuan?

Chen Jie had a good impression of Wang Wenyuan. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the prefect Chu Tian stand up and say, "Who, hurry up and go check it out."

After hearing this, a group of people rushed directly to the toilet.

Then Chen Jie saw Wang Wenyuan lying on his back on the ground, without even his pants on, and there was a mark on his neck caused by a sharp sword cut.

He killed the enemy with one sword. He is a master with sword.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately stepped forward and took a closer look. Suddenly, someone pointed at the wall and said, "Look at the wall!"

In an instant, everyone saw the pattern on the wall, which was a blooming plum blossom!
"Ah, Anmei, it's the Plum Killer!"

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes in shock, the Plum Blossom Killer.

The next moment, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly, and Wang Baobao clenched his fists.

Zhao Ya didn't understand who the Plum Blossom Killer was, so she looked at Wang Baobao and asked, "Third brother, who is the Plum Blossom Killer?"

Wang Baobao said, "I don't know. The Plum Blossom Killer emerged half a year ago. He specializes in assassinating officials of our court. In the past six months, seven officials have died at his hands."

"But to this day, no one has solved the case and caught the murderer."

Zhao Ya asked, "What is the job of a local judge? How come he can't even catch a killer?"

When Tongpan Wulutai heard this, he frowned and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Wang Baobao: "That's enough."

Wulutai said nothing. At this time, Zhao Ya said, "Brother, this Plum Blossom Killer is too arrogant. We must catch him for the sake of the court!"

Wang Baobao said: "I want to catch it, but I can't catch it at all."

After hearing what Wang Baobao said, Chu Tian said with a sad face: "Master Darughachi, Wang Wenyuan is the person I value most. Please help me catch this damn plum blossom killer!"

Wang Baobao was stunned when he heard this and said, "Wulutai, how many days will it take for you, the Tongpan Yamen, to solve the case?"

Wulutai said, "Sir, all seven cases of the Plum Blossom Killer have not been solved. It will probably take at least half a year to solve this case."

"Half a year? Haha, what do I need you to do for half a year? Third brother, hand this case over to my captain Chen. He will definitely solve it within a month."

"Him? Is that okay?"

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Wang Baobao looked at Chen Jie with suspicion.
