Chapter 481

After listening to the explanation of the Sky Eye staff, Tang Yin nodded and asked again: "What did Lord Jiang do during his time in Beijing?" "Drinking and eating!" The young man answered truthfully: "Lord Jiang eats and drinks with the ministers in the court almost every day." "Oh!" Tang Yin chuckled and said: "If that's the case, Lord Jiang is quite hard in Beijing." "Yes, yes, yes!" The young man didn't dare to express his opinion, but just nodded continuously, but he silently added in his heart: If getting drunk every day is also called hard work, then Jiang Lu is indeed very hard.

Guided by the Sky Eye staff, Tang Yin went up to the third floor and stopped in front of the door of an upper room. The young man whispered: "Sir, Lord Jiang lives in this room." Tang Yin responded and gently pushed down the door. The door slid open immediately, and there was no lock inside. Tang Yin paused for a moment and pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the room, a strong smell of alcohol hit him in the face, which choked his nose. Le Tian and Jiang Fan frowned and followed Tang Yin.

Those who didn't see Jiang Lu heard his heavy snoring first. Tang Yin walked slowly to the middle of the room, walked around the screen, and looked up. He saw Jiang Lu didn't even take off his clothes, his limbs were spread out, and he was lying on the bed sleeping with his head covered. Tang Yin walked up to him and called in a low voice: "Jiang Lu? Jiang Lu?" He called twice, but Jiang Lu didn't respond. Tang Yin had no choice but to increase the volume and called again: "Jiang Lu, Master Jiang!" Jiang Lu seemed to be sincerely against Tang Yin. No matter how he called, he didn't respond.

Seeing this, Le Tian hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Jiang Lu hard. Seeing that he was sleeping like a dead pig, he stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Lu's nose and slightly closed his mouth. It wasn't long before Jiang Lu couldn't breathe. He gurgled twice in his throat, and a mouthful of saliva that he didn't swallow choked his throat, and he began to cough violently. This cough also woke him up. He wanted to breathe in, but he couldn't breathe in any air. He wanted to open his mouth, but his mouth was tightly held. This time, Jiang Lu was completely awake. He opened his eyes and subconsciously turned over from the bed and sat up. He was shocked and horrified: "Who dares to murder me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yin, who was standing in front of the bed, put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Master Jiang, I'm not here to murder you, but to visit you!" Hearing the voice, Jiang Lu was shocked and looked up at Tang Yin. After seeing Tang Yin's appearance clearly, he seemed to still not believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes hard and looked at Tang Yin again. This time he was 100% sure that he was not seeing things wrong. He was originally a little drunk, but he was frightened in an instant. He jumped out of the bed like a ball. Then he rolled to the ground, knelt on the ground, and shouted urgently: "No... I didn't know that you were coming, and I didn't come to greet you. I hope you won't be offended!" Tang Yin smiled at Jiang Lu and said softly: "Jiang Lu?" "Your humble servant is here!" "Get up!" As he spoke, Tang Yin walked to the window, waved his hand to push the window open, so that the air in the room could circulate, and then he took a deep breath of fresh air outside the window, turned his head, restrained his smile, looked at Jiang Lu, and asked: "Jiang Lu, how are you doing with the things I told you to do?" Jiang Lu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up immediately. He lowered his head, his eyes rolled, and said faintly: "Since I came to the capital, I have been trying to make friends with the ministers in the court and get closer to them. The purpose is to recommend you to them..." Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him. What he wanted to hear was not these meaningless processes, but the results. He raised his head and said, "Just get to the point!" "Oh..." Jiang Lu groaned, and said cautiously, "Through my contacts with many ministers in recent days, I have said a lot of good things for you, but if you want those ministers to support you, you still... still lack something." Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you still lack?" "Gold." Jiang Lu swallowed hard.

Tang Yin's face sank at first, then he smiled, and asked with a smile, "Jiang Lu, when you left Yancheng, you brought a lot of gold and treasures, right?" "Yes, sir!" Jiang Lu's face was covered with cold sweat, and he said tremblingly, "20,000 taels of gold and 15 treasures." "Where are the things?" "The gold has been spent, and the treasures have been given away, but... the effect is minimal." "If I remember correctly, I later added nearly 10,000 taels of gold to you." Tang Yin said faintly.

"Yes, but...but all that gold has been spent! Sir, the price of going to Beijing is too expensive, and you have to invite the ministers of the court to eat. You can only go to the best restaurant in the capital, and you have to invite geishas, ​​maikos, etc. Wait, every time you spend money, it's not a small sum, so...gold is spent very quickly..." Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he laughed angrily. He said quietly: "It's been spent so much. There is so much gold, but there is no progress. Mr. Jiang, I have to wonder if you have done anything for me, or are you using my gold to enrich yourself?" Hearing this, Jiang Lu shivered with fright. He felt weak and almost collapsed to the ground. He kept shouting: "It's wrong, it's wrong! Your Majesty! No matter how brave I am, I would not dare to deceive you, let alone use your money to enrich my own pocket..." Tang Yin wanted to speak, but suddenly his brows suddenly He wrinkled, tilted his head and remained silent for a moment, then turned around and walked up to Lotte. He stretched out his hand and reached into Lotte's waist, and pulled out the sword hidden in his clothes. He changed the topic and his tone became soft and cold. Said: "Some people think that they act covertly and do not show traces, but there are airtight walls in the world. If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself!" As he spoke, a thick black mist emitted from Tang Yin's palm, The sword body shrouded in the steel sword immediately merged into one, and the sword body shimmering with cold light also turned into jet black.

At this time, even a blind man could see that Tang Yin had activated his true energy, and the murderous energy emanating from him made the air in the whole room freeze, making people feel suffocated.

Jiang Lu looked at the spiritual sword in Tang Yin's hand, and when he heard what he said, he was so frightened that three of his souls flew out of his body. Tears and snot flowed from his nose, and he wailed in a trembling voice: "My lord, I don't have any I'm really not lying to you..." Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin's face turned completely gloomy, and the murderous intent on his body became even stronger. Without any warning, he shook his arm and the spirit sword in his palm came out. It's just that his spiritual sword didn't stab Jiang Lu in front of him, but the wall behind him.

There was a muffled sound in the ear, and the spirit sword pierced the wall, directly piercing it. At the same time, a short and slight scream came from outside the wall.

This scream shocked the bodies of Letian and Jiang Fan. The two were just stunned for a moment, and then they immediately realized that someone was eavesdropping outside the room. They both jumped away and jumped to the window sill, raising their eyes outside. Looking around.

The room was on the third floor, and it was completely suspended outside. When the two of them went up to the window sill and looked around, there was no human figure outside, and they could only see a large tip of the steel sword that had pierced the wall.

Lotte's sharp eyes did not ignore the drop of blood that fell from the tip of the sword. He stretched out his fingers to catch the blood drop, wiped it slightly, then put it under his nose and smelled it carefully to confirm that it was human blood. Only then did he Returning to the room, he raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Sir, the eavesdropper outside the room has been injured and ran away!" "Run away?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did he run to?" "I didn't see it, outside. There is no one in the garden downstairs!" At this time, Jiang Fan also jumped down from the window sill and said to Tang Yin.

The expression on Tang Yin's face did not change, but he took a deep breath in his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said quietly: "No matter how deep the opponent's cultivation level is or how fast he runs, even if he is not injured, he can't survive." There is only one explanation for disappearing in such a short period of time..." "The other party is a dark spiritual cultivator!" Letian and Jiang Fan said in unison with their eyes widened in shock. Except for the shadow drift of the dark spiritual martial arts, which can instantly flash into their line of sight, the two of them can't think of anything else that can allow people to do this.

That's right, only dark spiritual cultivators can do this. Dark spiritual cultivators would not come to him for no reason. It seemed that this matter must have something to do with that iron plate. Tang Yin thought about this aspect, and so did Letian and Jiang Fan, but they were not as calm and determined as Tang Yin. They both said in surprise at the same time: "Sir, could it be..." Tang Yin raised his hand, He interrupted the two of them and said calmly: "I know." Jiang Lu, who was still kneeling on the ground, was dumbfounded. He thought he was dead this time, but he didn't know that Tang Yin's drawn sword was not directed at him. , what he said just now was not directed at himself, it was a complete false alarm. "My lord...outside...this...what is going on?" Tang Yin turned around, looked at Jiang Lu, and said with a smile: "Jiang Lu, get up!" "Ah, yes, yes, sir!" Jiang Lu Lu pinched her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her face. It took her a long time to stand up from the ground.

Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said seriously: "It seems that trouble has come to the door. We can't stay in Shangjing for a long time. The sooner we leave, the better." Letian and Jiang Fan, who knew the stakes well, nodded hurriedly and responded: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. !" Jiang Lu didn't understand what was going on, but he could also feel that a spiritual martial arts master was targeting him, and he might also be plotting against Tang Yin.

At this time, Tang Yin asked him: "Jiang Lu, according to your estimate, how much gold would it cost to bribe an important minister?"
