Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"Damn it! Who is he?

Who did it?

This is the third stronghold that has been removed in the past few days. "

The man wearing tiger skin spoke to the tall and thin man next to him with an ugly expression.

There were seven or eight corpses in front of them, all of which were tied with ropes and hung in the air.

There was almost no trauma on each corpse.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the internal organs of these corpses, without exception, have all been shattered into pieces by the internal energy, even the spine and sternum are no exception.

Each one was hung in the air like bacon.

The tall and lanky man didn't say anything, he just reached out and groped around the body.

Soon, each of them took out tokens from the waists of these corpses.

And, I faintly discovered that the right corner of the token was broken or full of cracks.

"Same as before, it was all done by people in the sect!"

This stronghold does not belong to any other church, but to the famous Shenlong Sect.

The Shenlong Sect has a total of twelve strongholds in Lin'an Prefecture, each of which is responsible for the Shenlong Sect's twelve industries.

Every force these days cannot do without money.

This is true even for the famous Wudang, Shaolin, and Kunlun sects.

In the early years, the Shenlong Sect relied on donations from believers.

There was no shortage of money at that time, and there was no need for any money at all.

But later, as the scope of influence became larger and larger.

Training disciples, developing spies, purchasing weapons, and purchasing medicinal materials. All of them require money, and all of them are inseparable from money.

Under such circumstances, the Dragon Sect could only start opening various industries like most sects.

Thereby earning enough money to subsidize the internal economic expenses of Shenlong Cult.

Now.

The various industries of the Shenlong Sect have long been spread throughout the Song Dynasty, Manchuria, Qing Dynasty, Mongolia, and even overseas. A steady stream of money will flow to Shenlong Island every month to maintain the development of the Shenlong Sect.

This is also the reason why Shenlong Sect has been able to survive under the strong suppression of Mingjiao.

However, in recent days, several Shenlong Sect strongholds in Lin'an Prefecture have been attacked by unknown persons.

Not only were all the disciples and elders stationed there killed without exception, but all the stored banknotes and valuable items were also snatched away.

There is an internal secret order within the Shenlong Sect.

That is, if you want to be killed by someone outside, then break off the upper left corner of the token.

If you are going to be killed by a mole, then break off the upper right corner of the identity token.

This is also the reason why these people judge that everything in front of them is done by the insider.

However, if it is a spy, he should take away the token and hide his identity.

How could you put the token here openly?

"Sir, all the banknotes have been taken away. In addition, the 300-year-old yellow ginseng has also been taken away. The total loss exceeds 10,000 taels."

The tall and thin man sneered.

"Oh, ten thousand taels!"

He waved away his subordinate's report and said to the tiger-skinned man in front of him: "Counting the previous times, we have lost nearly fifty thousand taels of silver in the past few days. This mole seems to be hiding very deep.

However, we have to resolve this matter, otherwise the leader will come in person. "When the tall and thin man said this, his body couldn't help but tremble, as if thinking of that person would make him feel very scared.

The tiger-skinned man shook his head and said: "I know half of the bank vaults of these strongholds and you know the other half. Other than that, no one else knows. Only the shopkeepers of the strongholds know.

Under such circumstances, the fact that he was able to take away all the banknotes and open all the bank vaults before we arrived was unusual and not something we could solve.

I suspect this matter may have something to do with Mrs. "

The tall and lanky man's face changed wildly.

After taking a look at the disciples around him and not paying attention here, he said coldly: "If you want to die, don't take me with you. Don't forget, all the strongholds in Fuzhou have been destroyed because of the missing wife. Put to death.

Stop talking nonsense. This matter is related to Madam, so you should pretend you don't know. "

The tiger-skinned man smiled coquettishly and said no more. Instead, he watched his subordinates clean up the body. After a while, he continued: "This shop must send another disciple to handle it. This is an important shop. Every day The running water is the highest among all the shops in Lin'an Prefecture."

"Okay, let me arrange the arrangements!"

"Then I'll withdraw first. If you need anything, come to me at your usual place." After the tiger-skinned man finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for the tall and thin man to speak.

The tall and thin man pouted his lips, shook his head, and continued to supervise the work of the disciples.

The tiger-skinned man walked alone, without any subordinates around him.

He walked alone on the streets of Lin'an Mansion, without stopping at all, and walked straight to the west of Lin'an Mansion. Anyone who is a gourmand in Lin'an Prefecture will know that there is the best restaurant in Lin'an Prefecture - Zui'an House.

The chefs in the restaurant come from all over the world, and you can eat delicacies from all over the Song Dynasty there. But not many people know who is the boss behind this restaurant, and no one knows that this restaurant is actually an industry of the Shenlong Sect.

Many dignitaries often come here to dine, and tens of thousands of taels of silver are paid into their accounts every day, so it can be regarded as one of the most important industries of Shenlong Sect in Lin'an Prefecture.

The tiger-skinned man hurriedly returned to Zui'an Building. After seeing that everyone was safe and sound in Zui'an Building, he walked up to his room on the top floor of Zui'an Building.

As soon as he opened the door, beads of sweat broke out on the tiger-skinned man's forehead.

Just because there was a woman with her back to him, drinking tea.

The incense in the distance was also lit, and the faint aroma of peach blossoms was refreshing.

"Gudong!"

Without any hesitation, the tiger-skinned man knelt on one knee on the ground. He respectfully kowtowed to the woman in front of him three times and said, "Zhao Baifang, I have met Madam."

"Get up."

The Houpi man let out a long sigh of relief and slowly walked into the house and closed the door.

Su Quan turned around, looked at the tiger-skinned man in front of him, and suddenly smiled, "Zhao Baifang, have we met?"

"Yes, Madam. The subordinates had the honor to meet Madam the year before last. At that time, the leader was in retreat, and it was Madam who met us." Zhao Baifang answered cautiously, always paying attention to every move of the woman in front of him, for fear that she would suddenly attack him. Killed with one palm.

"You don't have to be so nervous, and you don't have to be so afraid. You are the first one who remembers to kowtow after seeing me. I won't kill you, so you don't have to be so nervous." Su Quan gently picked up the teacup. He took another sip and said, "This tea is pretty good."

"Madam, this is a new bird's tongue produced this year. It is specially provided to the royal family and is available to the entire Lin'an Mansion. Except for the royal family, only fifty kilograms have been released to the outside world. I was lucky enough to get one kilogram and two taels. If you like to drink it, I will give it to you. Get ready." Zhao Baifang said to Su Quan somewhat flatteringly.

"Pack it up. I'll take it away in a moment. Where is Hong Antong?"

"The leader has arrived in Fuzhou."

"Oh, use your channel to send him Feige a message and tell him that I am in Lin'an Mansion."

"Subordinates don't dare!" Zhao Baifang immediately knelt on the ground: "Madam, don't worry, I will never betray you. I will never report Madam's location to the leader."

Su Quan interrupted Zhao Baifang and said, "I'll say it again, you use your channel to send him Feige a letter and tell him I'm in Lin'an Mansion. Do you understand?"

Zhao Baifang was suddenly startled and looked at Su Quan's expression that didn't look like he was joking.

Zhao Baifang hesitated again and said in a deep voice, "It's Madam."

"Okay, pack the tea and take it away with me.

I will come find you again after Hong Antong arrives at Lin'an Mansion! "

"It's ma'am."
