Chapter 16 Secret Collusion

Chen Tiankui picked up the secret folder on the table and said, "This is a secret report from the Jinyi Guards!"

"Some time ago, the Qingcheng faction massacred the Fuwei Escort Bureau. Lin Zhennan, the chief escort officer of the Escort Agency, contacted a local Jinyiwei Hundred Household House and was willing to hand over a family-inherited martial art, the "Evil Sword Manual", in exchange for protecting

He will hand it over only after his whole family safely arrives in Beijing."

"However, the news leaked and reached the ears of Xichang. For some reason, Xichang paid special attention to this matter and decided to jointly handle the case with Jin Yiwei."

"Evil Sword Manual!"

Lin Mang was surprised.

Doesn’t this technique require you to wield a sword from the palace to practice it?

etc……

Lin Mang's eyes darkened, he took the secret report and read it, secretly thinking: "Xichang suddenly intervened, did you learn the truth?"

"But how did the people in the West Factory know about it?"

Seeing Lin Mang frowning and thinking, Chen Tiankui couldn't help but ask: "Is there any problem?"

"No!" Lin Mang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir, your humble position will definitely fulfill your mission!"

"It doesn't have to be like this!" Chen Tiankui shook his head and said: "Xichang is the main force in this matter. Xichang has sent a eunuch with a palm seal to lead people from the capital. You are sent there just because Lin Zhennan's family members are now on the run.

On our territory."

"If this can happen, it will happen. If it doesn't, there's no need to force it!"

"As long as the killings in Jianghu do not endanger ordinary people, there is no need to interfere too much."

Lin Mang nodded and said: "I understand, I understand!"

Chen Tiankui waved his hand and said: "Go!"

"I resign from my humble position!"

Lin Mang bowed his hands and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

…

Returning to the courtyard and looking through the secret reports, he felt somewhat confident.

This West Factory must have known something, otherwise they wouldn't have sent a eunuch with a palm seal from the capital.

In the past, except for the factory officials, all the officials in the East Factory were drawn from the Jinyi Guards, but later their members began to be gradually reorganized and were replaced by eunuchs.

Today, there are very few members of the Jinyiwei in the East and West Second Factory, and almost all of its officials are eunuchs.

Even some Dongchang fans are eunuchs.

Although he is a eunuch, he also practices martial arts and his strength is quite impressive.

Of course, there are also people selected from martial arts circles or people trained by Dongchang since childhood.

I'm a little curious about the factory worker in the West Factory.

I know from my memory that the original intention of the emergence of the West Factory was to contain the East Factory.

Compared with the East Factory, the West Factory was not established for a long time.

Unlike Jin Yiwei, the scope of activities of the East and West Second Factory is more limited to the capital.

Only when necessary will we send people out of Beijing.

The power to supervise all officials in the world fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei, so there were thousands of offices and hundreds of offices in various places.

In the final analysis, this is a game between the emperor and the big guys in the court.

After all, I don’t know how many people want to send people to the Jinyi Guards. If the Jinyi Guards decline, then what is the point of sending them.

As for the East and West Second Factory, all the princes in the court have always looked down upon those eunuchs.

"grown ups!"

Outside the courtyard, Wang Dasheng came in with a knife in his hand, cupped his fists and said, "Sir, are you calling me?"

"Yes." Lin Mang put down the secret report in his hand and said: "Let me know, we will set off for Xiangling Town early tomorrow morning. There is a mission from above."

Wang Dasheng's face lit up with joy, he cupped his fists and said, "I obey!"

Mission means meritorious service!

Lin Mangxian glanced at him and warned: "Don't be careless. Also, people from the West Factory are involved this time. We are just here to help."

"Okay, go down and get ready!"

After sending Wang Dasheng away, Lin Mang got up and headed to the martial arts training ground.

…

at the same time.

Tiansheng Restaurant in the city.

It's still a private room on the third floor, but this time the guests have changed.

Outside the box door, Zhou Shijin saw the figure coming from the corner of the stairs, he quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Master Tao!"

"Thank you, Mr. Tao, for the compliment. Zhou has been waiting for you for a long time."

Tao Ning looked cold and asked in a cold tone: "Clan Chief Zhou invites you again and again. What do you mean?"

Zhou Shijin stepped aside, bowed and said, "Master Tao, please come inside?"

Tao Ning stopped where he was and counted his breath before he walked towards the box.

Both sides sat down,

Zhou Shijin smiled and said: "It is Zhou's honor to invite Mr. Tao."

"I know it would be too rude to invite you. I just hope that today's dishes will satisfy you."

With that said, he stood up and unveiled a dish himself.

A faint golden sheen reveals.

Zhou Shijin explained: "This dish is called Golden Buddha Jumping Over the Wall!"

Tao Ning squinted her eyes and looked at the lifelike golden Buddha on the plate, with a smile on her face and said lightly:

"This dish... is pretty good."

“I just don’t know, how about the other dishes?”

The smile on Zhou Shijin's face grew stronger, and he reached out again to open a plate.

"Master Tao, please see, this dish is called Jade Cabbage!"

On the plate, quietly placed is a delicately carved cabbage-shaped jadeite, which is so green.

A look of shock appeared on Tao Ning's face, and he said with deep meaning: "Clan Chief Zhou, these dishes are all hard food."

"But no reward for no merit, I'm afraid there should be other things besides eating today, right?"

Zhou Shijin praised: "Master Tao clearly knows that there is indeed something that requires Master Tao's help."

"I wonder what the relationship between Master Tao and Lin Xiaoqi is like?"

Tao Ning's expression suddenly turned cold and she asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Shijin was determined and said hurriedly: "Master Tao, please don't misunderstand me."

"To be honest, my Zhou family has some grudges with Lin Mang."

"Furthermore, Lin Mang forcibly occupied an opportunity that should have belonged to my Zhou family. However, he is an official and we are the people. If we have troubles, we should not argue."

Tao Ning's expression was joking.

If another person had said this, he would have truly believed it.

But the Zhou family...

hehe!

Tao Ning picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Clan Chief Zhou, you might as well say it directly if you have something to do. There is no need to hide it."

He had already guessed what was going on.

Lin Mang, Lin Mang, there is a price to pay for arrogance!

Zhou Shijin said bluntly: "In that case, I won't hide it from Mr. Tao."

"The thing is like this..."

Then he explained what happened.

After listening, a hint of jealousy and greed flashed in Tao Ning's eyes.

Fifth grade martial arts!

He has never been exposed to such martial arts before!
