In the letter that the bird brought back, Zheng Wang, the commander of the Military Intelligence Branch No. 1 who had arrived in Pingjiang City, sent him a piece of information.

The information said two things -

The layout of Maple City and Pingjiang City has been completed.

Zhou Dashanren, the owner of Zhouzhuang, celebrates his 15th and 60th birthday on the first lunar month.

This second incident has nothing to do with Li Chenan.

But this matter is a big deal for people in the world!

Zheng Wang said several key pieces of information in that intelligence——

One: One of the great elders of the Qinggang, a martial arts leader in the south of the Yangtze River, Chang Bai wrote a letter and left with generous gifts.

Second: Heroes from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River also set out before the new year to celebrate his birthday in Zhouzhuang!

Third: This person is most likely the chief steward of Qinjian Villa who was destroyed by Xi Wei’s trick fifteen years ago!

Zheng Wang told Li Chenan this news not because he wanted Li Chenan to go there in person!

Why does such a nonsense require the presence of the dignified Prince Regent?

He wanted to investigate by himself and sort out the relationship between the Great Good Person and the Green Gang this week——

The core of the Qinggang is the Fish and Dragon Society!

And Xi Wei was once one of the eight elders of the Fish and Dragon Society!

Fifteen years ago, Qinjian Villa was plotted by Xi Wei. Jiangnan martial arts gathered at Qinjian Villa and killed everyone in Qinjian Villa.

It is said that it is for a sword.

Qinjian Villa is good at playing the piano and even better at forging swords.

For example, the two world-famous Fujian swords were made by the ancestors of Qinjian Villa hundreds of years ago!

But no one knows what kind of sword the Qinjian Villa has forged, because after the Qinjian Villa was destroyed, hundreds of people in the world dug deep and searched but could not find a decent sword.

The sword disappeared and seemed to have never appeared in the world.

The huge Qinjian Villa was destroyed. Fifteen years later, there is news in the world that Zhou Dashan has a peerless sword in his hand...

If he was really the butler of Qinjian Villa, how did he escape?

Could it be that it was because of his collusion with Xi Wei that the mechanisms of Qinjian Villa malfunctioned and were easily breached by people in the world?

That sword is already in his hand!

Will Xi Wei appear at his 60th birthday party?

Could Mr. Zhou Dashan be a member of the Fish and Dragon Society?

Now that the Fish and Dragon Society has become the Green Gang, will Xi Wei stand behind the Green Gang?

What did he want to do by doing these things?

Zheng Wang needs to investigate it himself.

He never expected that the regent would also want to go and have a look!

Li Chenan really wants to see it.

These scandals are of secondary importance.

But because the name Zhou Mingfang, a good person of Zhou Dynasty, once appeared in the memorial written by Jiangnan Dao.

twice!

One time, it was said that during the autumn grain collection last year, Zhou Dashan donated 300,000 taels of silver to Zhouzhuang's 100,000 people to offset taxes. The imperial court should commend him!

Another time it was said that Zhou Dashan spent 500,000 taels of silver to open twelve free schools throughout Guangling Prefecture, and the Imperial College should be rewarded to encourage them.

Li Chenan felt that he should be commended and encouraged, but Wen Boyu denied it.

He said...

This person betrays his trust and betrays his family in order to seek glory. He is the second hypocritical person in Jiangnan.

Li Chenan asked who was number one?

Wen Boyu said... Jiangbei Yi'antang!

Well, Li Chenan didn't know about these Jianghu affairs before, but fortunately, the Imperial City Department has records of them.

So during the short period of time in Kyoto, he stayed in the dark building of the Imperial City Division for a longer period of time. Finally, he had a vague understanding of the Jianghu. Now he wants to go into the Jianghu and see with his own eyes.

.

"If so many martial arts masters gather, it would be inappropriate for you to go!"

For safety reasons, Amu looked at Li Chenan and said seriously: "It would be better if we take advantage of the opportunity of those people from the world to go to Zhouzhuang and go directly to Pingjiang City!"

After all, temples are different from rivers and lakes.

After all, this guy is the regent of Ning State!

After all, there was some order in the temple, but the world was in chaos.

If his identity is discovered by those in the world, if those so-called knights who carry their heads in the world drown him in the world, this is not just a matter of having no one to explain to.

This may cause chaos in Ningguo!

But Li Chenan shook his head and grinned: "We have Xiao Wu's poison and a few fireworks, so don't be afraid!"

"Besides, we just want to go take a look."

"I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch!"

Xiao Baozi turned his head and looked at Li Chenan, "What's the show?"

"This Zhou Dashan has hidden the sword for more than ten years, and now he suddenly wants to take it out and give it to the world's martial arts heroes... I'm afraid he has other intentions."

"Besides, I also want to see where this great Zhou Dashan got so much money."

"There are more than 12,000 hectares of land in Zhouzhuang, and now almost all of it is in his name."

"There are more than 30,000 farmers in Zhouzhuang, with a population of about 100,000, and most of them are tenants of his family!"

"In the 10th and 11th years of Zhaohua, there were continuous severe droughts in Jiangnan Province, and Chinan County in Mingzhou was the worst."

"Zhouzhuang is in Chinan County!"

"In those two years, Zhouzhuang's vast hectares of fertile land yielded no harvest."

"In the spring of the eleventh year of Zhaohua, a nobleman from the palace went to Jiangnan once!"

"Then, this Zhou Dashan man took all the farmland in Zhouzhuang into his pocket and took out more than three million taels of silver in one go!"

Li Chenan took a piece of food with chopsticks, took a sip of the fake Huapingchun, and raised his eyebrows: "This great person Zhou, where did he get so much money?"

"Not only did he become a big landowner in Chinan County, but his reputation in the world also suddenly became famous after the eleventh year of Zhaohua."

"It's not about his martial arts. The Imperial City Division doesn't know whether his martial arts is powerful or not, but it's about the fact that many Jianghu sects have received support from him in the past ten years or so."

"Those people in the world are so poor! They have the purpose of making good friends!"

"So when he celebrates his birthday, so many Jianghu sects will send people to congratulate him... This is reasonable."

Xiao Baozi asked: "Then should we prepare any gifts?"

Li Chenan smiled: "Someone has already prepared a gift."

"What gift?"

"A coffin!"

Xiao Baozi and others were startled:

"...who prepared it?"

"A sixteen-year-old boy. His surname is Qin. I don't know his surname. Yan Jidao said he would call him Xiaoqin."

"The owner of Qinjian Villa is named Qin."

"He came from outside the customs. He set out in October last year. He just carried a coffin. He didn't walk very fast, but he should have arrived in Jiangnan by now."

Xiao Baozi and others were taken aback, and Amu asked: "He is here to seek revenge from that Zhou Dashan? Does Zhou Dashan know his identity?"

Li Chenan shook his head: "Except for Yan Jidao, I'm afraid no one in the world knows his identity, and no one knows why he came here carrying a coffin."

"But the news that the descendants of Qinjian Villa came out to avenge the family's destruction has been released."

"So the good man Zhou invited the world's martial arts heroes to celebrate his birthday on the pretext of appreciating the sword. His purpose... must have been to gather everyone's hands to eliminate the descendants of Qinjian Villa."

Amu asked again: "Is he a disciple of Yan Jidao?"

"right."

"Will Yan Jidao also come to Zhouzhuang?"

"No, but his other female disciple may come."

"who?"
