Chapter 232 How dare Chen Jiusi!
This……

Seeing Chu Tian being nailed to the wall like this, everyone's faces looked very ugly.

Asan pointed to the wall not far away, and saw a clear plum blossom mark on it.

The Plum Blossom Killer is arrogant, too arrogant.

The princess was so angry that she clenched her fists and said, "Chen Jiusi!"

Chen Jie looked at the princess and saw the princess gritting her teeth and said, "I don't care who this Plum Blossom Killer is or what kind of person he is. We must catch him, no matter how great the price."

"If we don't catch him, we will be in vain for the country's laws, in vain for all living beings, and in vain for our efforts. This is a provocation, a provocation!"

Seeing how angry Zhao Ya was, Chen Jie knew that the Plum Blossom Killer was too arrogant.

They are indeed very arrogant. Let’s not even talk about the officials they killed before they took office, let’s just talk about what has happened since they took office.

It took less than a day, and they first killed Wang Wenyuan, a sixth-rank clerk in the prefectural office, and now they killed Chu Tian, ​​the fifth-rank prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture.

If nothing is done about their arrogance, I'm afraid Huangzhou Prefecture will become a place of entertainment for these people.

Where will the national laws and justice be by then? Will the entire Huangzhou prefecture’s officials not be in panic?
Thinking of this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes. Was this murderer going to cause panic among the people of Huangzhou Prefecture, and then take the opportunity to rebel?
You know, the Plum Blossom Killer’s backer is Zoroastrianism.

But if the Plum Blossom Killer was Ulutai, why would a Mulan native like him join the Zoroastrian Church? Did he not even care about his own people?

Mu Lan is a traitor?
As Chen Jie was thinking, he saw the leader of the Hongjian Sect, Zhong Guang, rushing to the side of the prefect Chu Tian and saying, "Ah, Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left just now. I never thought that my leaving would give the thieves an opportunity and cost you your life..."

At this time, Zhong Guang threw himself beside Chu Tian and cried, but Chu Tian could not respond.

Seeing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhong Guang and said, "Master Zhong, I express my condolences."

"Let's take down Prefect Chu's body first."

As Chen explained, Zhong Guang wiped away his tears and said, "Yeah, it should be."

As he spoke, Chen Jie called upon Ah San to come over and help him take down Chu Tian's body, but Zhong Guang insisted on doing it himself.

Chen Jie and Zhong Guang took Chu Tian's body off. Seeing this, Chen Jie wanted to pull the sword out of Chu Tian's chest, but Zhong Guang said, "No, don't desecrate the body."

Chen Jie was stunned, but did not stop it. He checked Chu Tian's body. First, he checked his breath. There was no breath, which meant that his breathing had completely disappeared.

Then he pressed the pulse on Chu Tian's neck and found that the pulse there had also disappeared.

Afterwards, Chen Jie checked Chu Tian's limbs, arms, and entire body. He could basically judge from the biological point of view that this person had lost all vital signs and was dead.

Especially the position of this sword, it hit the heart right away, so the possibility of saving him was almost zero.

Zhong Guang said with a look of grief and indignation: "This Plum Blossom Killer deserves death. All of us in Hong Jian Sect will fight this Plum Blossom Killer to the end!"

"Till death!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said nothing. At this time, Zhong Guang said, "Captain Chen, Princess, although Governor Chu is dead, his brothers are still alive. If you need any help from me, please tell me. We in Hong Jian Sect will never say no."

Chen Jie and Zhao Ya both said, "Thank you, Sect Master Zhong."

Zhong Guang said: "It's my duty. Brother Chu treats me like a brother. I must avenge Brother Chu!"

As he spoke, Zhong Guang's eyes were filled with hatred.

Chen Jie and Zhao Ya could only persuade them, but Zhong Guang said, "My lord, Captain Chen, now that things have come to this, I have nothing more to say. As long as you want to capture Wulutai, I, the Hong Jian Sect, will take the lead."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya and Chen Jie were both stunned.

Why do you want to catch Ulutai? Are you sure that Ulutai is the murderer?
However, the two did not speak, but said: "Master Zhong, the situation is uncertain. If there is a need, we will definitely call Master Zhong."

Zhong Guang heard this and said, "Okay, I know a fifth-rank judge. You can't arrest him without solid evidence. I will solve it in my own way!"

Zhao Ya frowned and said, "Master Zhong, don't be impulsive. If you attack and kill Wulutai without authorization, what is the difference between your behavior and that of the Plum Blossom Killer?"

Zhong Guang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, my elder brother Chu cannot die in vain."

Zhao Ya said: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this Plum Blossom Killer."

Zhong Guang looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Master Zhong, rest assured. I will definitely do my best to find the mastermind and solve the case."

Zhong Guang looked at Chen Jie and said, "Okay, I believe you."

……

The death of the prefect was a big deal, so the next step was for the Darughaci to immediately send someone to investigate the situation and make administrative arrangements. The position of the prefect would be temporarily taken over by the Darughaci.

Wait for everything to settle.

Chen Jie and the princess walked out of the prefectural government office. Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, what do you think of this case?"

Chen Jie said: "At present, it is indeed Ulutai who is the most suspicious."

But Chu Tian was also a little strange.

The princess asked, "What's so strange about that?"

Chen Jie said, "His behavior is very strange. He said Wang Wenyuan was there to investigate the Plum Blossom Killer, but we also saw that there were only two teacups and no extra rice bowls. Moreover, the room was very tidy, with a bed. There was nothing else in his room."

"There's not even a decent room. Do they always do research in the bedroom?"

"And since we are investigating the Plum Blossom Killer, we must collect the intelligence and review it. But did you find a piece of paper with intelligence in Wang Wenyuan's room?"

"That's not true."

The princess frowned and asked, "What's going on with Wang Wenyuan?"

Chen Jie said: "I don't know. It seems that we have fallen into someone's trap. Some people seem to want to use us to do something."

Zhao Ya looked puzzled.

Chen Jie said: "Now that a prefect has died, isn't the sky of Huangzhou Prefecture already half collapsed?"

"The Plum Blossom Killer specializes in killing officials. I guess all officials in Huangzhou Prefecture are in danger now. How can such an atmosphere last long?"

Zhao Ya was immediately shocked and said, "Jiu Si, are you saying that someone wants to shake the foundation of Huangzhou Prefecture? Is it Zoroastrianism?"

Chen Jie said: "It is still unknown. Hasn't the Prince of Qi's Mansion made any move yet?"

Zhao Ya said: "This Huangzhou Prefecture is really full of twists and turns. Where should we go next?"

Chen Jie said, "Let's go to the Rouge Shop and ask. We'll go to Woniugang Mountain Road in the evening."

"Woniugang Mountain Road?"

Zhao Ya was stunned, and looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Where can I gain anything?"

Chen Jie said: "I don't know, but Governor Chu kept talking about this Woniugang Mountain Road at the banquet, so there must be something wrong. I want to go and take a look. Maybe Governor Chu was killed because of this place!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya said, "We have to go, but Huangzhou Prefecture is a dangerous place. I'm afraid something might go wrong. I'll ask an expert to help me tonight."

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

As they talked, Chen Jie and Zhao Ya smiled at each other, and then Zhao Ya said, "You go to the Rouge Shop and ask first. Ah San, you stay with Jiu Si, and I will go back to ask for help."

Zhao Ya waved her hand, and then led her people back to the Darughachi Mansion.

Chen Jie separated from Zhao Ya, took Ah San with him, and began to look for a rouge and powder shop in the city.

After finding a fairly large shop, Chen Jie took out the rouge powder and said to the owner, "Boss, look at this rouge powder. Do you sell it here?"

After hearing this, the boss took the rouge powder handed over by Chen Jie, took a look at it and said, "Brother, we don't sell your rouge here, and most rouge shops in the city don't sell it."

Chen Jie was stunned and asked, "Oh, where can I buy this rouge?"

"Golden Swallow Pavilion is the largest rouge and powder shop in the city. The rouge and powder you are holding is called Raozhirou. The production process is extremely complicated and only their shop sells it."

"And you..."

Sniff sniff...

The shopkeeper sniffed it and said, "The smell is so light and elegant, it's obviously the highest quality. This box alone would probably cost thirty taels of silver, which is enough for an average family to live on for a year."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Thirty taels is quite expensive."

The shopkeeper said, "It's expensive, but you can't buy it even if it's expensive. Where did you get this box of rouge? It's called Chunhuaxiang, and it's custom-made by Jinyan Pavilion for nobles. If you're not a noble, I won't sell it to you even if you have money."

Chen Jie looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "What is a noble man?"

The shopkeeper said, "At least he should be an official."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "That's really a noble person. By the way, what is the relationship between Jinyan Pavilion and the Pavilion Master of Chunxiang Pavilion, Jin Yanzi?"

The shopkeeper said, "The Golden Swallow Pavilion was opened by Golden Swallow."

After hearing this, Chen Jie's eyes flashed with enlightenment and he said, "Oh, that's how it is."

Chen Jie and Ah San walked out of the store together and headed towards the Golden Swallow Pavilion. Ah San asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Jie said: "Haha, of course I'm going to buy rouge for my wife. By the way, brother Ah San, do you have a lover? Buy a box and I'll pay for it."

"Tsk, I don't have that thing. In our Vajra Sect, we cannot lose our virginity until we reach the Changhong Realm. Women can only delay my cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie smiled without saying anything, and soon the two of them arrived at Jinyan Pavilion.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw that the place was surrounded by people. There were carriages everywhere, and many ladies got off the carriages and came into the store to choose rouge.

Chen Jie and Ah San squeezed in. Ah San said, "These women are really strong."

Chen Jie also said: "Yes, there are really a lot of customers here."

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice: "Hey, Captain Chen."

Chen Jie was stunned. When he looked over, he saw Jin Yanzi walking down from upstairs. She saw Chen Jie at a glance.

Chen Jie quickly clasped his fists and said, "Mrs. Jin."

Jin Yanzi said, "There are too many people downstairs, let's talk upstairs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie followed Jin Yanzi up to the second floor, and Ah San followed. When they got upstairs, Jin Yanzi poured Chen Jie a cup of tea and said, "Captain Chen, are you here to investigate a case in our Jin Yan Pavilion?"

Chen Jie was stunned and said, "No, I heard that your Jinyan Pavilion cosmetics are the best, I want to buy two boxes for my wife."

"Oh, I didn't expect that Captain Chen is also a kind and gentle person."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Mrs. Jin is joking."

Mrs. Jin said, "Well, don't even mention buying it. When Captain Chen came to Huangzhou Prefecture, I didn't give him any gifts. I only gave him two boxes of rouge. I wonder what scent he wants?"

Chen Jie raised his nose and sniffed it and said, "Haha, the one on Madam Jin is pretty good."

Jin Yanzi frowned, but soon her expression relaxed and she said, "Oh, this, this is the treasure of our Jin Yan Pavilion, Chun Hua Xiang."

Jin Yanzi said, "Someone come."

Soon someone brought two rouges. Jin Yanzi said, "Ordinary people can't afford this. There are only five households in this city that use this perfume."

"I'll send two boxes to Mr. Chen today."

Chen Jie took it and smelled it and said, "Haha, thank you, Madam Jin. This really cost you a lot of money."

Chen explained as he took out a silver note of 100 taels and placed it on the table, saying, "Madam, if you want to buy it, then buy it."

Jin Yanzi took a look and said, "Haha, OK, in that case, let's just talk about the business. By the way, I just heard someone say that Governor Chu was murdered?"

Chen Jie said: "Oh, yes."

Jin Yanzi frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What does Captain Chen think of him? Who is the one who did this?"

Chen Jie said: "The one who did it was naturally the Plum Blossom Killer."

Jin Yanzi frowned and said, "Plum Blossom Killer, haha, Captain Chen might as well say that he belongs to my husband."

Chen Jie said: "Mrs. Jin, why do you say that? We never said that the Plum Blossom Killer was the magistrate."

Jin Yanzi said, "Captain Chen, let's not beat around the bush. It has been rumored in Huangzhou Prefecture that this Plum Blossom Killer has a powerful background. He is either my husband or the prefect Chu Tian."

"Now that Chu Tian is dead, doesn't my husband become the object of your suspicion?"

Chen Jie laughed when he heard this, "Madam, you are worrying too much. Rumors are just rumors. We will enforce the law impartially and find the murderer. No one can frame you except the magistrate."

Jin Yanzi heard this and said, "Well, Captain Chen is right, but this incident is a big blow to my husband."

Chen Jie said: "It is inevitable that there will be some involvement. Madam, you must advise the magistrate more."

Jin Yanzi said: "Yes, I will."

Chen Jie stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Jin Yanzi: "Send it to Captain Chen."

Chen Jie left the Golden Swallow Pavilion, and Ah San asked, "Did you get anything?"

Chen Jie asked, "Do you smell the fragrance of Jin Yanzi?"

Ah San said, "Yeah, I smell it. It's a light scent, very nice. If it weren't for the small size of the private room and our proximity, it wouldn't be that easy to smell."

Chen Jie then took out the rouge he got from Wang Wenyuan's room and said, "Smell it."

Ah San raised his nose and sniffed, his expression changed and he said, "This smell is exactly the same as that on Jin Yanzi, could it be?"

Ah San suddenly turned around, and Chen Jie pulled Ah San and said, "Don't look back, let's go."

Ah San said: "She..."

Chen Jie said: "Go find the princess."

At this time, on the second floor of Jinyan Pavilion, Jin Yanzi looked at the backs of Chen Jie and the other man as they left, her eyes slightly fixed.

"Difficult guy."

Having said this, Golden Swallow entered the house.

Chen Jie and Asan soon met Zhao Ya, who asked, "How is it?"

Chen Jie handed Zhao Ya a box of rouge and said, "Take a look."

Zhao Ya took the rouge and smelled it, "Yes, that's it. Where did you buy it?"

Ah San heard this and said, "My princess, you would never guess that the one who sold this rouge was Wulutai's wife, Jin Yanzi."

"Golden Swallow?"

Zhao Ya was stunned. Ah San said, "Yes, it is Jin Yanzi. And Princess, Jin Yanzi uses this rouge."

Zhao Ya said: "Jin Yanzi also uses this rouge, so it matches?"

Jin Yanzi looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Yes, it is correct, but I always feel that this matter is strange."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya asked, "What should we do now?"

Chen Jie said: "Woniugang is also 20 miles away from Huangzhou City. We must hurry."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya asked, "Go to Woniugang?"

Chen Jie said: "I always feel that there will be some gains there."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Chen Jie said, "Let's eat first, and then go to the pharmacy. I'll get some mosquito repellent. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand these mosquitoes in this desolate mountain area."

Zhao Ya said: "Yes."

As she was about to go to dinner with Chen Jie, Chen Jie stretched out his hand and said, "Princess, can you return the cosmetics to me?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Ya was stunned when she looked at the powder in her hand. She quite liked this powder.

"Oh, here you go."

Chen Jie explained: "I sent it to my wife."

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Let's eat."

After saying that, she walked away first, walking in front, but muttered: "Who cares, such cosmetics, I say a word, a bunch of people line up to see me off."

After that, he ignored Chen Jie, and then ignored Chen Jie for the whole night...

……

Chen Jie and his group arrived at Woniugang before nightfall and found a place to hide.

I don’t know how long I have been hiding, but Ah San couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, “Jiu Si, how long do we have to wait?”

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

As he said this, he took a bite of the sesame seed cake he brought with him and said, "Give me a bite."

Chen Jie threw him a sesame bun, then looked at A Da and A Er who were looking at him eagerly, and threw one to each of them.

Even though they had eaten dinner at night, they were still traveling all the way and it was almost midnight already, so everyone was a little hungry.

At this time, everyone had a sesame cake and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

Chen Jie handed Zhao Ya a pancake. Zhao Ya took a look and said, "Are you not going to leave it for your wife?"

Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, I did give that rouge to Madam. If the princess likes it, I will give it to her."

"Who cares?"

Zhao Ya took the pancake and started to eat it, and ignored Chen Jie again. Chen Jie felt embarrassed. He knew that he should not have asked Zhao Ya for the rouge at the beginning. Now... what was going on? Who would have thought that a princess would like a common rouge.

Chen Jie didn't say much, just looked at the distant mountains.

At this time in the darkness, the distant mountain looked like an old cow lying there quietly.

This is also the reason why the name Woniugang came from.

Chen Jie and others were waiting for people like this, when suddenly Chen Jie saw a few flashes of fire in the distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Look carefully at that direction.

"The princess is here."

Zhao Ya took a bite of the pancake and said, "Oh, it's great that you came."

Chen Jie said: "Princess, I'm afraid there are experts in this escort team. Have we called for reinforcements?"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Don't worry, Master He is nearby. If there are masters above the Wolf Smoke Realm, Master He will take action."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Where is this?"

Zhao Ya said: "No need to look, Master He wants to hide, no one can find him."

Chen Jie stopped talking, and then he saw a long procession coming from a distance. In that procession, there was a group of people holding torches, driving ox carts, and there was a group of people escorting them in front of the carts.

"Second Master, after passing Woniugang, we will reach the Huangshui River. Our boats are waiting there."

After hearing this, a middle-aged man walking in front said, "Well, everyone cheer up. After this batch of grain is shipped out of Huangzhou Prefecture, each person will be rewarded three taels of silver."

"Oh, thank you, Master."

Everyone shouted to thank the Second Master.

At this time, this second master was sitting in the car, his eyes fixed forward. This second master was none other than the deputy leader of the local fishing gang.

That is Zhou Chuan, the younger brother of Zhou Feng, the Tiger of Blocking the River.

Zhou Chuan is also a martial arts master. He has entered the Baodan realm for many years and is a veteran Baodan master.

This time they received a job to escort food and fodder, and since the amount was large, he came to escort it personally.

Next to him was his deputy, who said to Zhou Chuan, "Second Master, this mission is over. Go and persuade the leader. Our Cao Gang is now divided into pieces. The leaders of the branches in each county have called themselves leaders. We should have listened to the young leader a long time ago and recruited these leaders to strengthen our fishing gang."

Zhou Chuan looked at the man and said, "It is easy to recapture these branches, but the difficult part is how to prevent the suppression by the imperial court."

"Second Master, why don't we learn from the Hong Jian Sect and join the imperial court? Why do we have to be in this state now?"

Zhou Chuan said: "Haha, the leader cannot surrender to the imperial court. The old leader was beheaded by the imperial court just because he resisted the imperial court. His head was hung on the wall of Huangzhou Prefecture for three days."

"The old gang leader was very kind to my brother. My brother swore that he would never surrender to the imperial court in his lifetime, so he allowed the disciples of the fishing gang to develop."

"Otherwise, with the strength of the leaders of the fishing gangs in these counties, who are at the Huajin or Baodan realm, they dare to claim to be the masters. We would have subdued them long ago."

"But if we subdue them, the imperial court will definitely target us. We can't fight against the imperial court, and we can't let down our old leader, so we have become like this."

"A pile of loose sand."

Zhou Chuan sighed. After hearing this, the deputy said, "Second Master, what the old gang leader said is all outdated from decades ago. We can't stick to the rigid rules!"

"If this continues, our fishing gang will really become a second-rate gang."

Zhou Chuan looked at his assistant and said, "So what do you want?"

The deputy said, "Young Master intends to reorganize the fishing gang. Second Master, should we support him?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chuan looked at his deputy and said, "Haha, if I don't want to help him, and you guys are in contact with him like this, do you think I can tolerate you?"

Upon hearing this, the deputy immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Second Master, for your help."

Zhou Chuan said: "Well, it's a good thing that Ah Yu wants to rectify the fishing gang, but this is not a simple matter. I heard that there is a powerful figure in the fishing gang, named Chen Jiusi."

The deputy heard this and said, "Yes, his name is Chen Jiusi."

"He is a powerful character. All the assassins sent by the young leader last time were killed by him."

"Killer?"

Zhou Chuan stared at his deputy in amazement.

The deputy said, "Yes, not long ago, they held a celebration party, and the young leader sent an assassin to the party, but he was killed on the spot by Chen Jiusi."

Zhou Chuan heard this and asked, "Why do you want to kill Chen Jiusi?"

The young leader said: "This man has the spirit of a hero, and he is not willing to be inferior to others. Since we cannot subdue him and make him our dog, we can only kill him with great pain to prevent future troubles."

After hearing this, Zhou Chuan looked at his deputy and said, "Why don't you talk to the gang leader before you do anything?"

The deputy said, "This is just a small matter. What can I tell the gang leader about it?"

Zhou Chuan said: "It's a small matter. Don't you know that Chen Jiusi is having an affair with the Princess of Ruyang King? If he knew that you had tried to assassinate him, he would definitely use some means to deal with you."

"Our fishing gang is already walking on thin ice. If we offend the princess of the imperial court, won't we be miserable?"

"Haha, Second Master, if we don't tell them, how would they know? Don't worry, they can't get anything out of us."

The deputy was very confident and thought he was doing things very secretly.

Zhou Chuan said: "Be careful in everything. The only thing I don't like about Ah Yu is that he is too reckless. He is not as steady as my elder brother. How can we easily provoke a man like Chen Jiusi? And if we miss the target, we will definitely be attacked back!"

"No, Second Master, you are just too cautious. Chen Jiusi is just a small country guy. He can still find him."

"Don't underestimate others."

"Haha, Second Master, how about we make a bet? If he can really find it, I..."

"how are you?"

Zhou Chuan looked at the deputy, who said, "I will kneel down and kowtow ten times to you, and admit that I was wrong."

……

"Hey, stop!"

Just as the deputy was chatting with Zhou Chuan, a loud shout was suddenly heard.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a big tree in front of me fall down with a loud crash, and then I saw several people jumping down from not far away.

Got it by robbery?

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chuan and others were stunned. In Huangzhou Prefecture, there was really no one who dared to hijack their fishing gang’s goods.

Zhou Chuan stood up and said, "Who is blocking the road ahead? The fishing gang is transporting goods today, please give them some convenience."

After hearing this, a loud shout was heard: "You are blind, the chief of the Hubei Road Jianghu, the Princess of Ruyang is here, why don't you get off your horse and accept inspection?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Zhou Chuan frowned and said, "The chief of the Jianghu of Hubei Road, the Princess of Ruyang?"

He turned to look at his deputy and asked, "What did you just say?"

The deputy was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone named Chen Jiusi among you?"

Chen Jie was originally at the back, but he didn't expect the other party to be the first to call his name. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he said, "My name is Chen Jiusi. Does the person in front know me?"

The deputy heard this and said, "Ah, it's really you, Chen Jiusi. You are really fucking insidious. Since you can't defeat us with your underworld means, you ask the imperial court to harm us!"

Chen Jie frowned when he heard that. What kind of underworld tactics were these? When had he ever had any disputes with them?
Chen Jie was completely confused and had no idea what these people from the Huangzhou Prefecture fishing gang were going to do.

While he was thinking about this, Zhao Ya had already spoken: "Everyone stand up and accept the imperial court's inspection!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chuan said to his deputy, "Hurry up and go back to tell Ah Yu that we are in trouble."

After hearing this, the deputy looked at the deputy gang leader Zhou Chuan and said, "Take care, Second Master."

After saying this, he quietly withdrew. Zhou Chuan looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, I am Zhou Chuan, the deputy leader of the Huangzhou Prefecture Fishermen's Gang. Please do me a favor."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Very good, Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, we won't make things difficult for you. Let your people lay down their weapons. We will seize this batch of goods."

Zhou Chuan frowned and said, "My Lord, this won't do. We, the Fishermen's Gang, have never failed in our escort work. If you guys take away our things this time, wouldn't we lose our moral integrity?"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, I am also a member of the Fishermen's Gang. Now that the imperial court wants to seize the goods, don't resist. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

After hearing this, Zhou Chuan said, "Chen Jiusi, I know you. You did a great job on the Mianshui issue. Originally, when you came to Huangzhou Prefecture, I, as the host, should have welcomed you. But today, you actually brought people from the imperial court to confiscate my goods. You are simply a scum of my fishing gang!"

Chen Jie frowned when he heard this and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, this is not right. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Do you still want to fight against the court?"

Zhou Chuan heard this and said, "Hahaha, well, now that it has come to this, just tell me whether you are going to let this guy go or not!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "I can't let it go."

Zhou Chuan heard this and said, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to say."

After hearing this, Chen Jie and the others immediately prepared for the battle, but at this moment Zhou Chuan shouted, "Stop!"

The next moment, these people no longer wanted the goods in the car and turned around and ran away.

Zhou Chuan also ran away. As long as he couldn't be caught, his brother could put all the blame on him. As long as he refused to admit it, even the princess would be helpless.

But if we get caught and interrogated, things will get troublesome.

Therefore, once a gangster encounters such a thing, the first thing he does is to run away.

A group of people started running. Seeing this, Zhao Ya said, "Stop them."

Zhou Chuan then turned around and ran towards the woods. Seeing this, Chen Jie immediately used the Thunder Step to chase after him.

"Leave it to me."

Ouch...

Chen Jie attacked with the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms. Zhou Chuan felt the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms behind him and quickly returned it with one palm.

With a bang, the two of them actually took three steps back.

When Chen Jie is not using the Changchun Gong, his strength should be in the middle stage of Baodan.

Zhou Chuan's strength was also in the middle stage of Baodan, and he was evenly matched with Chen Jie.

At this time Chen Jie used Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms and struck Zhou Chuan with two palms, using all his strength. Zhou Chuan also used a very powerful palm technique at this time, and he was evenly matched with Chen Jie.

Chen Jie slapped Zhou Chuan with one palm, Zhou Chuan turned around to avoid it, and Chen Jie slapped directly on a big tree. Then there was a snap, and the tree broke directly in the middle.

This shows how powerful this palm force is.

Zhou Chuan then turned around and slapped Chen Jie directly, but Chen Jie raised his hand to block it.

After two snaps, Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chuan and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, surrender."

Hearing this, Zhou Chuan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, martial arts is martial arts, and you actually asked the court to help you. You are really insidious."

Chen Jie frowned after hearing this and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Chuan was stunned, looked at Chen Jie's expression and said, "Aren't you here to seek revenge?"

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Revenge? What revenge? Deputy Sect Leader Zhou, please explain clearly."

After hearing this, Zhou Chuan said, "Well, it's not revenge, then it's fine. Since we have no hatred, you let me go and we'll meet again in the future. It can be considered a friendship."

Chen Jie did not give in after hearing this, but pressed on, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, I don't know what you are talking about, but who are you transporting this stuff for?"

Zhou Chuan said: "I don't know."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, why bother? This matter has nothing to do with you. You are just a hauler, why do you have to shoulder the responsibility for the owner?"

Zhou Chuan said: "It is the code of conduct in the underworld. Since the owner has handed the goods over to my fishing gang, I cannot tell anyone about this."

"Then I'm sorry."

As Chen was explaining, he started fighting with Zhou Chuan.

Chen Jie had been hiding his strength because he found that there seemed to be someone on the tree who was always staring at this place. Chen Jie suspected that it was He Yishou. This old guy said he was coming but never showed up. It was very likely that he wanted to see his martial arts skills and find out his background.

Therefore, he only used the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms to deal with Zhou Chuan.

At this time, He Yishou stood on the top of the tree, looking at the people fighting each other below with a slightly focused gaze, which was quite interesting.

Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms?

No wonder the princess favors him. This Chen Jiusi is indeed quite good, but unfortunately not much.

He Yishou was thinking this, but Zhou Chuan became more and more frightened as the fight went on. This Chen Jiusi was very powerful. He was not as strong as he had imagined.

Chen Jie also felt the gaze from above his head, and he kept his Changchun skills hidden and did not use them.

In this way, Chen Jie and Zhou Chuan fought for more than twenty rounds. At this time, on the other side, Zhao Ya and others also captured a lot of disciples of the Fisherman Gang. At this time, Zhao Ya flew up directly and stabbed Zhou Chuan with a sword. Then Chen Jie and Zhao Ya fought Zhou Chuan together.

When Zhao Ya joined the battle, He Yishou, who had been watching the fun, suddenly became nervous and kept staring at Zhao Ya, fearing that Zhao Ya would be hurt.

Zhao Ya’s strength was indeed great. She displayed various martial arts, making Zhou Chuan unable to defend himself.

Zhao Ya's martial arts style is mainly diverse.

The ever-changing scene is dizzying.

However, she also has a weakness, which is that her skills are diverse but not refined. She is proficient in hundreds of schools, but not in any one of them.

For example, Chen Jie is probably not as good as Zhao Ya in terms of martial arts moves.

But Chen Jie has the Changchun Gong as his trump card. As long as Chen Jie uses the Wrath of Spring, Zhao Ya will have no choice but to be defeated.

But in normal fighting, Chen Jie might lose to Zhao Ya in terms of moves.

In this way, Chen Jie and Zhao Ya worked together and captured Zhou Chuan within ten moves.

Zhao Ya placed her sword on Zhou Chuan's neck and said to him, "Don't move. If you move again, I can't guarantee that my sword won't pierce you through."

Zhou Chuan closed his eyes and said, "You can kill me or chop me up as you wish."

Seeing this, Zhao Ya said, "You're still pretty stubborn."

After saying this, Zhao Ya said, "Jiu Si, bring the person over."

Chen Jie then directly sealed Zhou Chuan's acupuncture points and said, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Chuan glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, if you follow the imperial court, you will suffer the consequences. Sooner or later, you will regret it."

Chen Jie said: "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, you should think about your own situation."

Zhou Chuan said nothing when he heard this, and was taken away.

In the woods in the distance, Zhou Chuan's deputy was lying there, watching Zhou Chuan being taken away, his eyes full of anger. "Chen Jiusi, you deserve to die. You actually joined forces with the court to deal with our fishing gang."

I will definitely tell the young leader, just wait for death.

The revenge of the fishing gangs will never last overnight.

Chen Jiusi, you'd better watch out for your head.

Thinking of this, he crawled out quietly and ran away.

Zhao Ya gathered a group of people together. Then Ah San and his companions came back and said to Zhao Ya, "Princess, it's all food. A rough estimate is at least 100,000 dan."

"One hundred thousand stones!"

Zhao Ya's eyes widened when she heard this. Where did Huangzhou Prefecture get so much food? You know, there was a food shortage in the Mian River not long ago, and she even asked her third brother for help, but there was still no food. Wang Baobao selected 30,000 stones of military rations from his 2,000 men to support his sister.

And now there are 100,000 shi of grain at will.

Zhao Ya looked at Zhou Chuan and the kneeling escorts with a dark face and said, "Tell me, who owns this grain?"

After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and refused to speak.

Zhao Yayou looked at everyone and said, "Tell me, who did you sell this grain to?"

Everyone still kept their heads down, Zhao Ya said angrily: "Do you think I can't do anything to you?"

Everyone remained silent, resisting silently.

Seeing Zhao Ya so frustrated, a cold voice suddenly came out: "The princess is asking you a question, didn't you hear it?"

Everyone was startled and saw a person floating down from the sky and landing in front of Zhou Chuan.

"You said."

Zhou Chuan stiffened his neck and said, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. If you want to get anything out of me, it's impossible."

"Noisy!"

Snapped!
The man slapped Zhou Chuan's head hard, and with a loud slap, his head shattered into pieces on the ground like a frozen watermelon.

The ice crystals condensed from the blood splashed all over the faces of the people around him, and with a snap, Zhou Chuan's headless body fell to the ground.

At this time, He Yishou came up to a man who was shaking with fear and asked, "Tell me, who does this food belong to?"

"me……"

"sentimental."

He Yishou raised his hand again and slapped the man to death. Finally, he came to a trembling man and asked, "Tell me, who owns this food?"

"Urutai, Lord Urutai."

The man shouted out the name in a hurry, fearing that it would be too late and his head would be in danger. He Yishou asked, "Who will you sell it to?"

"Sell it to the Zoroastrians. They will take you there on the other side of the Huangshui River."

He Yishou heard this and said, "Very good, do you have any other questions?"

At this time, Adadao said: "Ask, is Wulutai the Plum Blossom Killer?"

"Ok?"

He Yishou looked at the man, who was frightened and said, "I really don't know this!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ya said angrily, "Just because Wulutai dared to sell grain to the Zoroastrians, he can be punished. As for whether he is the Plum Blossom Killer, we can question him after we catch him."

"Someone, go and capture Ulutai."

"Yes!"

Everyone left. At this time, Chen Jie looked at the escort who was kneeling on the ground and trembling and said, "Do you know where this batch of food came from?"

The escort said, "These grains are the stored grains of the local nobles. They were bought by Lord Ulutai."

Chen Jie frowned and said, "So this is not government grain?"

"Well, absolutely not."

"Well, that's strange."

Chen Jie frowned, this matter was becoming even more strange.

Half an hour later.

Snapped!
A tea bowl fell heavily to the ground, and a young man in his twenties glared and said, "What did you say? Chen Jiusi arrested my uncle!"

"That's right. I saw it with my own eyes."

The young man said, "Okay, very good, Chen Jiusi, we'll take over the feud, and we'll see what happens."

"Come here, help me do something."
