Chapter 434: Accident

For the "meaning" he comprehended, Shen Hao has never slacked off, constantly tempering and exploring himself, although the progress is slow, he can always feel that he is getting stronger.

From the very beginning, Shen Hao discovered that the plasticity of Heiqie was far less than that of Zhenqi, and it was a different kind of energy. Or is this thing not energy at all, but something else?

So Shen Hao has always used Heiche as an enhanced version of Dao Gang. But later he discovered that although the plasticity of Heiqie is far less than that of Zhenqi, it does not mean that it can only have one form.

When the ability to control "mind" becomes stronger, Shen Hao can now make some changes in Heiqie.

For example, if it coagulates in a short period of time but does not disperse, or it adheres to the surface of the body in a large area.

These are all pondered by Shen Hao himself, and have never been used in actual combat before. But this time in the face of phantom killing, these new uses of "yi" developed by him are extremely practical.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. For example, subject to the low plasticity of "will", even if it is most attached to the body surface, it is easy to be directly broken due to the use of true energy, such as swinging a knife, and needs to be reattached to maintain it. This is a burden on Shen Hao in terms of consumption. very big.

But overall, the pros outweigh the cons. I don't know what new usages can be developed in the future.

Seeing Shen Hao ignoring her, Xia Nv pouted and didn't dare to show her temper. She just wondered if the master would bully her like last time?

It's a pity that Shen Hao was too busy to play with Xia Nu at all. After taking a bath, he changed into a dry black robe, put on the goose spine knife and went out again. After Shen Hao left, Xia Nv snorted a few times, turned around and went to wash Shen Hao's clothes.

When Shen Hao went out, he saw a lot of Xuan Qingwei soldiers standing guard around. After asking, I found out that this was arranged by Tang Qingyuan, and there were some people from the Black Flag Camp. Recently, his home is also a key protection area.

"My lord, my subordinate Zhang Cang, he is Li Tie, and we are your new guards."

The carriage is still the same carriage, and the guards have replaced it with a new one. This is another blood debt, Shen Hao nodded expressionlessly, got in the car, but firmly remembered it in his heart. No matter who wants his life, he believes that there will be a day when the truth will be revealed, and he will give it back a hundredfold.

Along the way, apart from the two new guards, there were six more people, all of whom were monks, who ran around the carriage.

As soon as Xuan Qingwei's carriage passed by, passers-by on the street began to whisper to each other. Said, Xuan Qingwei's senior official was assassinated on the street just now!

The news not only spread quickly in the market, but also spread quickly in Xuanqingwei's internal, military, and local yamen's various news channels.

To assassinate a family of Xuanqing guards in broad daylight is a very rare act of madness. Killing officials is "rebellion", and it is so blatant, it is simply a provocation to all the order of the Jing old dynasty.

Even if there is no explanation for this matter and the murderer cannot be caught, this can be regarded as a major blow to Xuan Qingwei's reputation.

Kuang Shengyuan from the Thousand Households Office has hurried back from the imperial city, just happened to meet Shen Hao at the door, asked Shen Hao to come to his office and asked some information, and then said that he would do his best to investigate the murder against Shen Hao of the case. He also said that he would personally supervise the matter.

Kuang Shengyuan had good intentions, but he was also telling Shen Hao: You don't need the Black Flag Camp to do this case, just leave it to us.

What else can Shen Hao say? Bow down and thank you. Anyway, even if he handles the assassination case, he won't be able to handle it. At least he won't be free until the "Ma San case" is over. Now Kuang Shengyuan obviously can't wait, and it's impossible to wait for the matter, so it's no problem to hand it over.

Seeing that Shen Hao was so straightforward, Kuang Shengyuan also smiled and sent Shen Hao to the door of the public house. To him, as long as Shen Hao didn't die, it wasn't a big deal, but the case itself was a rare big one, and if he took the lead and Qianhu took the lead, the big credit would naturally go away. As for whether the case can be solved? Kuang Shengyuan naturally has a solution.

Ignoring these, Shen Hao packed up his mood and went back to his office, and wrote two epitaphs with his own hands, and asked them to take them down for the two guards who died today. As for pensions, the Black Flag Camp has the rules of the Black Flag Camp, and the people below will not treat them badly.

Not long after sitting down, Wang Jian came to the door excitedly.

"My lord, Chen Zongqi has good news!"

"Huh?" Shen Hao raised his head, asked Wang Jian to sit down, sat up straight himself, and listened to Chen Tian asking what progress there was.

Wang Jian said: "My lord, Chen Zongqi led people to check the two shops of the Zhou family in Haixia. There is nothing serious about that grain shop, and it has nothing to do with the "Ma San Case". It mainly deals in the purchase of supplies for the frontier army. Whether there are illegal activities in it has not yet been investigated.

The other is the herbal medicine shop I mentioned to you before. The shop was called Hongfa Pharmacy, and there was a fake owner in front of it, who also came from the Slave Chamber of Commerce, and most people couldn't relate it to the Zhou family. If we hadn't screened the Zhou family's private accounts, we wouldn't have known that the real big boss behind Hongfa Pharmacy was actually the Zhou family.

Chen Zongqi stole the account books from Hongfa Pharmacy, and invited their shopkeeper and the fake owner back. Those two people who didn't have the skill of a cup of tea recruited everything. "

After a pause, Wang Jian continued: "According to these two people, the Zhou family actually does not only have a way to get medicinal materials from the slave trade association secretly. They also have a way to directly trade with the barbarians."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Hao interrupted Wang Jian directly when he heard this, and asked in doubt: "You mean that the Zhou family directly contacted the barbarians?"

Wang Jian nodded yes.

Shen Hao found it strange, and said, "Isn't the Zhou family's mind trapped by the door this time? They dare to contact the barbarians directly?"

"My lord, you are right. The Zhou family did a stupid thing with their brains trapped by the door this time. But Zhou Qing, the drugstore, didn't even know about it. It was Zhou Qing's eldest son, Zhou Lu, who did it secretly. , and according to the account of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy and the fake owner, the reason why Zhou Lu has the courage to hide Zhou Qing from Zhou Qing is actually because several elders of the Zhou family supported him behind his back, and someone from the Xu family in the imperial city gave him instructions."

Wang Jian said that his eyes are bright here, which obviously belongs to another village, which is a surprise.

Shen Hao asked a few more questions carefully, and finally figured out the latest news from Chen Tianwen.

It sounds like this means that the Zhou family had their own idiot son, and now what is being sent to Shen Hao is not only the handle of their Zhou family, but also the turning point of the whole case?

"What about the evidence? Have you got it?"

"Yes. There is the yin and yang account book of Hongfa Pharmacy. There are clear account details on it. The Zhou family and the Xu family have detailed records. Because the account book is very thick, there is no way to pass the notes of thousands of miles. After Chen Zongqi rubbed it Someone has already sent it back, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon.”
