In Langshan Town, dozens of miles away from Jiangning Fucheng, in the Shipping Department where Haimen Port is located. Yu Wen Ruochen, the field officer on duty who is nearly middle-aged, thin and tired, is also holding a stack of goods that he just left.

After signing the documents, he slowly walked out of the official hall where he kept vigil and stretched his body.

Then he took off his somewhat wrinkled official uniform, revealing his undershirt and lining, and tightened his cuffs and hips; he began to perform a round of Wu Qin Xi in front of the faint morning dew and skylight; until his forehead

With beads of sweat on my chest, I drank most of the cold tea soup.

As a field officer of the Municipal Shipping Department, your duty is to issue public certificates (certificates, public inspections), that is, navigation permits, based on the goods declared by the docking merchants, the people on the ship, and the places they are going to; and even send people on board.

The ship is "checked" to prevent weapons, copper coins, women's mouths, fugitive criminals, etc. from being carried;

Of course, Langshan Town, where the Shipping Department is located, is just one of the 21 places where the imperial court set up Shipping Departments along the coast, allowing reception of foreign vassals and tributes, and international trade. Moreover, compared to Yangzi Port, which is directly adjacent to the sea in the north of the Yangtze River

; Haimen Port, located in Langshan Town, has always been slightly inferior.

Therefore, for a long time, Haimen Port and the Shipping Department have mainly contacted some so-called island vassals/upstart princes located on the coast of the East China Sea; and those large and small princes in the outer seas who are rich in resources and strength, and even ocean-going foreign vassals that often travel back and forth for half a year or several months, also

I would not choose this Haikou inner port.

However, Haimen Port also has a natural advantage; that is, any foreign ships, business travelers and pedestrians who want to enter the Yangtze River waterway must go through the inspection of the Haimen Port Municipal Shipping Department, and hundreds of soldiers in Langshan Town

, is the ready backing and confidence of the Haimen Port Shipping Department.

Therefore, the reputation of Haimen City Shipping Department is really not outstanding among the 21 City Shipping Departments; not to mention compared with Guangzhou Panyu Port in Lingnan and Annan Jiaozhou Jiaozhi Port, it is even inferior to Duli Port in Jilizhou, Liaodong.

; Or Yuzhou Port in Haizhou, Huainan; Penglai Port in Dengzhou, Henan.

However, the daily traffic of small and medium-sized ships, the flow and scale of people and goods are not inferior at all; therefore, just those immigrants of all kinds who go to the inland to recruit from foreign vassals are given to the field affairs and supervision of the local shipping department.

City and promotion officials; bring huge profits.

Therefore, Yu Wen Ruochen has another identity in private, that is, one of the peripheral organizations of Donghai Grand Society and one of the senior members of the inner circle of Feng Lin Society. Although Feng Lin Society is usually inconspicuous, in the eyes of the world, it is nothing more than a member of the inner circle.

It's a private gathering of some art, tea and wine enthusiasts.

However, there are many potential conveniences and benefits in private. For example, you can use your authority to sell inside information privately; you can exchange interests with other members, or pay a certain price to buy relevant information from the meeting; inquire about officialdom.

Follow the latest trends, etc.;

Of course, as a newly minted city official, he was able to become an inner circle member of Fenglinhui related to Donghai Grand Shrine; it was also thanks to his family background and surname. As the name suggests, his ancestor Yuwen was a member of the Northern Zhou Dynasty

, Sui and Tang dynasties, and became a prominent and prominent family.

At that time, Yu Wenhuaji, who was the commander of the Imperial Guard of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, encouraged the Xiaoguo Army who was eager to return to the north, launched the Jiangdu Revolution, killed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and established King Yang Hao of Qin as emperor; he was poisoned to death a few years later.

Yang Hao proclaimed himself Emperor Xu; but his younger brother Yuwen Shiji took the initiative to defect to the great ancestor Li Yuan.

Therefore, the descendants of Yuwen Shiji, together with the Yang family of the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, became the only state guest families in the Tang Dynasty. However, by the time of the Anshi Rebellion, the Yuwen family was no longer there; only a full family was left.

Yu Wenjin, who was in the civil war squad, followed the Kaiyuan Emperor in a hurry to the west.

But this also became an important turning point for this ancestor, because he met Liang Gong who was born at that time and was impressed by him. Pei Shu, who was born with another Yulin disciple, became the first group of hardcore followers of Liang Gong.

Since then, he has fought in the north and south, traveled across the sea, and achieved success and fame.

When Liang Gong, who served as an assistant to the four emperors in five dynasties, finally returned to the outside world and founded the Xia Dynasty, the Liang family was divided into three major streams. The Western Kingdom Daxia/Tiancheng dynasty, the only one with the title of king among the foreign vassal princes, lived in the capital permanently.

The Jingzhao family, and the Nanhai Office that continued to conquer overseas.

Later, with the development of Xinzhou/Beiju Luzhou on the other side of the ocean, a fourth branch was branched out from the descendants of Liang Gong, and the East China Sea Office was set up with Yizhou Island as its territory.

Among the princes from Yuanzhou on the other side, the Yuwen family was one of the accompanying families who came to Yizhou.

Of course, when it comes to Yu Wen Ruochen's branch, it is already a branch branch within the branch branch; with the Yu Wen family of Pingzhou Domain in Yizhou Island, they almost left the fifth server. But because Yu Wen Ruochen was good enough, in the end

He graduated from the Civil Service School of the Third Auxiliary School and found a position in the Municipal Shipping Department.

Therefore, he not only joined the outer circle of Donghai Grand Shrine, but also received the approval and support of the direct members of the family. He had enough financial resources and surplus to maintain and create a relatively self-disciplined and upright person, who was also kind to others and had harmonious relationships; he firmly held his position and

Looking for opportunities to go further.

After all, Donghai Grand Shrine, which has many resources and backgrounds of the Haifan, is vaguely fearful and restricted by the imperial court; it is also constantly seeking to penetrate into the imperial system. Obviously Yuwen Ruochen is one of them; however, when he returns

The public hall couldn't help but be stunned.

Because, with Wang Yin, the local garrison general in Langshan Town, smiling, a young official wearing a dark crimson robe representing the identity of the censor and a small falcon crown was waiting for him, thoughtfully

Under his eyes, it was like the sharp sword light instantly dissected his insides.

"Yuwen's affairs came just in time!" Wang Yin, the town general, pretended to be calm and introduced: "This is the newly appointed censor of various river patrols by the imperial court. Jiang Shangxian was present, and he was appointed as the third envoy and the vassal court.

, with the joint instruction of our Department of Transportation, we made a special trip to inquire about the detailed accounts of some ship transactions."

However, when Yu Wen Ruochen heard these words, he was so shocked that all the blood in his body was about to freeze. His first reaction was that the tricks he had done and the secret accounts he had accumulated for many years were finally exposed.

Did you notice it? The next moment, he could only keep his expression unchanged and said:

"Please give it to Shangxian, and I'll go get it and present it!"

Later, Yu Wen Ruochen, who felt that a catastrophe was imminent and the earth was falling apart, gathered his energy and went to the cabinet where the documents were stored. He looked at the volumes, documents and documents written by his own hands with a heart filled with sadness and determination.

Case file; it’s time to put an end to all this.

Immediately, he picked up the wind lantern that illuminated the night, swung the remaining kerosene and splashed it on the key points of the cabinet, took out the hidden quick fire, and threw it out without hesitation. The next moment, the bright fire was rising.

The flames illuminated his face that stretched out and suddenly became a little ferocious.

At the same time, the heavy door of the attic that had been bolted was shattered into pieces by someone's palm. Like flying fragments, it penetrated many bookshelves and cabinets in an instant, and slipped through again.

In the middle of the gap, Yu Wen Ruochen, who had just lit the fire, was knocked to the ground with a hiss in pain.

However, Yu Wen Ruochen, who had been beaten to a bloody head, jumped up from the collapsed bookshelf with unexpected agility and agility, and crashed out of the pane on the other side. Just as a fire was being put out

Amidst the shouts, he rushed to the other end of the building without hesitation.

It was a steep cliff near the mountain and the sea in Langshan Town; then he fell like a bird and hit the rugged rocks head-on. The next moment, his body was like a spring stretched to the limit.

, fell back in the air and fell into Jiang Tian's hands.

Then, with a delicate expression, Jiang Tian easily removed his lower jaw to prevent further self-mutilation by biting his tongue. The general Wang Yin who witnessed everything was dumbfounded as an ox egg; then he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, shouting hissingly

Said: "I don't know anything about Shangxian Mingjian..."

Then Jiang Tian was a little surprised. He found a thin metal needle in Yu Wen Ruochen's sleeve pocket. He squeezed out some red and black liquid and smelled it. He couldn't help but frown and muttered: "My last

I hate those bastards like you who inject yourself into transformation whenever you disagree!"

After a while, in the temporarily arranged interrogation room, Jiang Tian asked someone to take out a newly discovered extract, which came from the spinal cord of the hydra/six-headed dragon snake. Then, he placed it under the candlelight

Once lightly roasted, a strange fragrance like orchid and musk suddenly erupts.

As for Yu Wen Ruochen, who was the first to be inhaled by the scent, his tense and distorted expression instantly relaxed; and then turned into a dull and dull look with distracted eyes, but this was a special state in which the external body perception became more sensitive. This is

This is the effect of this suspected neurotoxin.

And when the current mayor, who was hiding in a villa and skipping work, was promoted and hurried over after hearing the news, Jiang Tian also initially got what he wanted. But the answer was a bit unbelievable and made people laugh and cry. First of all, Jiang Tian

Tian uncovered a major smuggling case that had been going on for many years from him.

In particular, various prohibited items were smuggled to foreign vassals; and in the name of transporting the population of foreign vassals, they protected some wanted criminals and thieves with heinous crimes; they secretly fled overseas to avoid pursuit and punishment from the imperial court, and even those who suffered the consequences.

Their bounty and revenge.

Secondly, in his confession, he mentioned an association called Fenglin Society; its senior members are secretly spreading a variety of secret medicines, such as making people stay energetic for a long time and becoming more energetic in bed.

, just some sequelae such as photophobia and fire fear.

And this needle was his last resort in exchange for a large amount of money, just in case. As a result, the Qilin Society and its related forces hidden behind the scenes once again revealed the slightest bit to Jiang Dao in this ship company.

but he knew very little about the original target of the investigation.

I only vaguely know that in recent years, along with this standard official ship that appeared in the city ruins, there were many other ghost ships that were reported to have "sinked" in the waves, but then reappeared in the rivers and waterways afterwards. That's all.

His records were all erased by his habit.

But when things have reached this point, Jiang Tian has been able to preliminarily determine that, in addition to the exposed Feng Linhui, there are major problems within the Donghai Grand Shrine; and as the family behind Yu Wen Ruochen, the Pingzhou Yuwen clan is also an important retainer of the Donghai Palace.

One of the aristocratic families; there are also many suspects.

But then, further support is needed. For example, formal authorization from Liu Zhan, the Prime Minister of the Third Division, and Pei Wuben, the vassal secretary of the Zongfan Court, and his brother-in-law; rather than the kind of verbal order sent by telex first

, and a simple procedure to confirm the process will be added later.

Just when Jiang Tian returned to the ship as a temporary mobile base with the only important witness who had remained conscious so far, he heard a faint call again in the dark; it seemed that Linghu Xiaomu was the first

Activated for the first time as a marked ability of telekinesis?
