Chapter Five Hundred and Four Black Market Transactions

The cold wind blew the torches and made a sound of rushing sound, and the woods were completely surrounded by the imperial guards.

Feng Jixing looked at the bodies of the soldiers in the Gentian camp all over the ground, frowned, and his face was so angry that his blue veins popped up, and said, "Zhang Wei, who is the person on duty tonight?"

Zhang Wei clasped his fists and said, "The centurion of the 7th Battalion of the Fourth Imperial Army, Liu Daren, lord... He accepted three thousand gold tickets, so he opened the side door privately and let these people leave the city."

"Liu Daren was beheaded, and all the imperial guards under his supervision were fined for three months."

"yes."

...

On the side, Wei Qiu and Bai Yin were holding a tray with embryos, long swords, battle knives, shields, wrist armors, iron boots, etc. Lin Muyu checked the injuries of several injured Longtian Legion soldiers, stood up and said to Chu Yao on the side: "Sister Chu Yao, these soldiers are dependent on you. You must rescue them. Try not to let them lose their arms and legs, otherwise they will be ruined."

"Um."

Chu Yao had a hint of fatigue on her beautiful face. She had treated seven soldiers who were seriously injured in the fire. Lin Muyu shook her hand with some pain and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."

"It's okay." Chu Yao smiled slightly: "I am the deacon of the Lingyao Se. This is my duty. Ayu, please deal with the things you should deal with. Come and see me later."

"Um."

Lin Muyu turned around and went to Feng Jixing, while Feng Jixing looked at the embryos one by one, pondering without saying a word.

"How is it?" Feng Jixing asked.

Lin Muyu frowned and said, "17 people died in the Longtian Camp and 21 people were seriously injured. A medium-grade book made us lose so many people, which is simply hateful."

Feng Jixing patted his shoulder and said, "Ayu, calm down first and calm down your anger. This matter must be investigated from the beginning."

"What's there to check?"

Lin Muyu said: "The embryos in these people are all weapons, shields, etc. produced by Lanyan City. And they call us empire hawks, so we can see that they are all from Yihe Country. How many people in the world can write mid-grade books? Apart from the heads of several aristocratic families in the Tianshu Pavilion, there may be no more."

Wei Qiu clasped his fists and said, "General Feng, these families sold powerful spiritual books and earth books to the rebels of Yihe Kingdom. This is clearly a treason. Please ask General Feng to thoroughly investigate the Tianshu Pavilion."

"Tianshu Pavilion..." Feng Jixing clenched his iron fist and sighed: "I will investigate thoroughly, but I can't be too hasty. The matter of Tianshu Pavilion is really too sensitive. Once a big fight occurs, I'm afraid that many talents will be lost. This is something that Your Highness doesn't want to see."

"Will my people die in vain?" Lin Muyu whispered: "Brother Feng, if you don't check it, I'll check it."

"A Yu... don't be impulsive."

"I'm not impulsive, but I can't tolerate it if I get out of the country." Lin Muyu gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care which of the four major families sells heavenly books to Yiheguo privately. As long as I find out, I will definitely give them some color."

Feng Jixing asked, "Then what are you going to do."

Lin Muyu directly ordered: "Wei Qiu, immediately return to the camp, mobilize 10,000 iron cavalry of the First Legion, surrounded me at night, prepare arrow boxes and crossbows, and shoot directly if they want to fight against the Heavenly Book."

Wei Qiu turned over and said, "I will do it now."

Looking at Wei Qiu Juechen's figure, Feng Jixing looked dead and said, "Ayu, Tianshu Pavilion is guarded by 5,000 imperial guards. Are you going to attack the imperial guards?"

"Then you just need to remove 5,000 imperial guards. I want to check the Tianshu Pavilion at night. Brother Feng, please go with me. I believe that the major families in the Tianshu Pavilion should not dare to do anything randomly."

"Okay." Feng Jixing nodded and asked again: "Do we need to go to His Highness to ask for an order?"

"No, Xiaoyin is going to bed, let her have a good night's sleep. The incident happened suddenly, let's talk about it first."

"Okay, let's go."

...

Late at night, the sound of horse hooves rose on the road of the imperial capital, and the heavy snow became heavier and heavier. Countless Gendan Legion soldiers appeared around the Tianshu Pavilion, and torches were connected. In the distance, the soldiers of the Longdan Camp pulled their longbows away and aimed at the Tianshu Pavilion. As long as there was a slight action, it would trigger a massacre.

"Bang."

He kicked open the door of the Tianshu Pavilion with heavy kicks. Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing walked in side by side. The dense soldiers of the Longtian Camp behind him quickly surrounded the courtyard of the Tianshu Pavilion. The sword blades were unsheathed, and rows of sword lights were chilling under the torches.

"Who,."

In the Tianshu Pavilion, a group of imperial soldiers rushed over with weapons, but saw Feng Jixing's resolute face.

"All the imperial guards, withdraw all the troops." Feng Jixing said with his commander's token raised.

“Yes, commander.”

The five thousand imperial guards all left the Tianshu Pavilion in a blink of an eye. However, the heads and people in the Tianshu Pavilion were all alarmed. Ji Lin walked over in a white robe surrounded by Ji En and others. Immediately afterwards, the people from Liu Mansion, Ouyang Mansion and Prince Zhong Mansion also appeared in the square. The snow was falling heavily, but everyone was no longer sleepy. Looking at the countless soldiers of the Dragon Gallery Army who were tense, they knew that something must have happened.

Ji Lin quickly walked forward, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Marty Yun Ling, Marquis Yun Zhong, the two marquises came to the Tianshu Pavilion late at night, I don't know what happened..."

Lin Muyu took out a sword embryo from Wei Qiu's hand and said, "The medium-grade earth book on this embryo comes from the Tianshu Pavilion."

Ji Lin was stunned and said, "Isn't this the six-ring sword? Why... why is it actually in the hands of the Hou Yun Ling?"

"I'm going to ask you this."

Lin Muyu said lightly: "His Queen's Highness has long ordered that all the written embryos in the Tianshu Pavilion must be included in the warehouse to wait for the dispatch of the Ministry of War. However, these dozen or so carved spiritual books, and the embryos in the earthly books appeared in the hands of a group of thieves in Yiheguo. Ji Lin is in charge of the affairs, do you know what's going on?"

As he said that, he slowly raised the six-ring sword, and the light was dim. After induced the power of heaven and earth, it took about ten days to restore spiritual power to the earth. A local book could only be used five times in a lifetime. Although the spiritual power of this six-ring sword was dim, it could still see the yellow-colored power of heaven and earth. It was undoubtedly the earth book. Lin Muyu whispered: "This medium-grade earth book was activated, killing seventeen people in my Dragon Dan Legion. Who should I settle the score for these seventeen lives?"

Ji Lin trembled all over, and then he realized the seriousness of the situation. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master Yu, I have no idea about this matter, but... but this six-ring knife's mid-grade diary was indeed from the old man's hands, and I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"No."

Feng Jixing walked forward and said lightly: "We are here today to thoroughly investigate this matter. Come here, who is the person who contains the embryo of the Heavenly Book Artifact? Bring it to me."

In the crowd, a short and fat man rolled forward and said, "Two commanders, the young one really has nothing to do with this matter. I am just responsible for collecting the embryos into the warehouse. I don't know anything else..."

"Take out the inventory list." Lin Muyu said.

"yes."

He quickly took out a book of accounts.

Lin Muyu glanced at it. In the past half a month, Tianshu Pavilion has collected 14 local books, 71 spiritual books and 224 personal books. In the catalog of local books, this flame-based medium-grade local books was quickly found. The six-ring knife is undoubtedly the details of the entry into the warehouse, but there is no details of the exit.

"Why did the embryo that was put into the warehouse disappear?" Lin Muyu asked coldly.

The fat man kowtowed on the ground repeatedly: "The villain doesn't know..."

"I don't know." Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Come here, drag the fat man down and chop him up. I see if he knows."

"yes."

Two soldiers from the Gentian camp stepped forward and grabbed the fat man's arms. The fat man's face turned green. When did he see such a situation? His pants became wet instantly. He knelt down and begged for mercy with a pale face and said, "General Yu, Xiaodi knows... Xiaodi knows... Just last night, Ji Zhao, the general manager of the Ji Mansion, went to the warehouse and took a batch of embryos and left. Xiaodi didn't dare to ask more..."

"Ji Zhao."

Feng Jixing looked cold: "Where is Ji Zhao? Get out."

In the crowd, a pale-faced man slowly walked out, knelt on his knees, and sat dejectedly in the snow. His hair was already gray and he was wearing a luxurious leather robe. Feng Jixing smiled faintly at Lin Muyu and said, "Don't investigate, it was me who made it. I sold nine spiritual books and three local books just to exchange for some small money to spend it."

Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile: "Xiao Qian, how much did you change these embryos?"

“Everything is here…”

Ji Zhao took out a pile of gold tickets from his arms and threw them into the snow. They were all gold tickets worth 100,000 gold coins per one. It seemed that there was at least 10 million gold coins. Yiheguo was really rich, and he was willing to spend so much money for these heavenly books.

On the side, Ji Lin looked pale and bowed to Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing bowed and said, "Two commanders... Ji Zhao is my cousin. He has been loyal to the empire for many years. I hope the two commanders can get along with each other. I... I only have such a cousin..."

Lin Muyu stepped forward and helped Ji Lin up and said, "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to plead for it anymore. Feng and I will do our business and hand over Ji Zhao to His Highness the Empress. We also hope that you can supervise the Tianshu Pavilion more in the future and not let such things happen again."

"Yes... Thank you, Commander Yu..." Ji Lin looked dim.

...

He took Ji Zhaohe's golden tickets and handed them over to the people of Huoquesi, and then handed them over to the empress.

The heavy snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was rustling on the cloak.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing walked on the streets of Zetian Palace with their horses.

"A Yu, is this the end of this matter?" Feng Jixing asked.

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded, but stopped talking.

Feng Jixing smiled: "You should be able to see it too..."

"Yes." Lin Muyu whispered: "If Ji Lin had not supported him, how could a mere Ji Zhao do such a big thing? However... the empire needs someone like Ji Lin to take charge of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, so we can only turn a blind eye. This time, dealing with Ji Zhao is a shocking tiger. Let's give Tianshu Pavilion a warning."

"Yes." Feng Jixing focused his attention.
