The document was sent back to the Pacification Office, and Liu Zhenyuan quickly replied, saying that the "enemy of the king of hell" Doctor Shan had already set off for Liaodong.
He is a good friend of the Medical Immortal and his medical skills are equally extraordinary. I believe there will be a way.
Cao Jinxing and Shen Xiang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhenyuan also told Cao Jinxing to assist Shen Xiang in investigating the case and that he didn't need to rush back to report... With Shen Xiang around, there was no need for Cao Jinxing at all, so this was just giving him a vacation.
Cao Jinxing was of course happy. The next day, he followed Lei Zongliang and the others to the horse market, leaving Shen Xiang alone to continue digging deeper.
The so-called largest horse market is actually just that.
The Mongols from the Three Guards of Doyan entered Luotuogou with a large number of horses and Mongolian specialties in exchange for food, tea, porcelain, silk, etc.
Among them, a Mongolian noble exchanged three carts of high-quality sable fur and ginseng for 30,000 bolts of silk brought by Lei Zongliang.
This was agreed upon in advance.
Lei Zongliang completed his mission that day. In order to avoid any more trouble, he decided to take the goods back to Jiangnan first.
Before leaving.
Lei Zongliang repeatedly assured him that once the firearms were completed, they would be sent to Cao Jinxing's residence in the capital. He also gave him a waist bag made of golden flame snake skin and eagle feathers, which was specially dyed silver-white. It looked like a combination of a belt and a shoulder bag, and was very exquisite.
"My brothers worked overnight to process the materials, and together with the best embroiderer in Guangning, we hurriedly made it using natural silk. I hope you won't mind."
Lei Zongliang smiled and said, "Golden Flame Snake skin is light and flexible, and is most suitable for making a belt. The carved feathers are hard and not easy to deform. Considering the existence of Xue Liuli, I made this waist bag based on your previous skin bag. Not to mention 60 kilograms, as long as you can afford it, it can be tripled and it will be as strong as before."
"Thank you very much."
Cao Jinxing didn't expect him to give such a gift. He could only say that he was indeed a businessman with a keen eye. "I was just wondering how to take Fourteen with me. You're a big help. Thank you brothers for me."
"You are too polite, sir."
A man from the guard team behind Lei Zongliang said: "Brothers have eaten the eagle meat and snake meat of the adults. This is just a small token of your appreciation. If it were in Jiangnan, the needlework would be better."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "Jiangnan embroidery is famous all over the world, but it's just a shell. There's no need to thank you all. See you again if we're lucky."
Everyone bowed and said, "See you again if we are lucky."
Lei Zongliang jumped on his horse and returned along the way he came.
As soon as they left, the inn was mostly empty.
On the third day, the "enemy of the king of hell" doctor Shan arrived. He was an old man in his sixties, with white hair and a youthful face, and he was in very good condition.
His apprentice "Xinglin Prodigy" was abducted to Liaodong by Wu Yunfeng, and it was Cao Jinxing who extracted the poison. After knowing this, the old man looked at Cao Jinxing very favorably.
He was an excellent doctor. He spent half a day familiarizing himself with the symptoms and another half a day preparing the medicine. Combined with Cao Jinxing's detoxification acupuncture method learned from a medical immortal, more and more snake corpses recovered.
Including the leader of the Wanma Gang and the leader of the Eight Horses, "Red Horse" Wang Zhengkai.
After repeated investigations by Shen Xiang, it was confirmed that this incident had nothing to do with Wang Zhengkai, but as the gang leader, he was also at fault for failing to notice that his horses were inferior in quality.
After understanding the whole incident, Wang Zhengkai felt extremely ashamed and wanted to resign.
But the Wanma Gang had just encountered a major change, and it still needed a backbone to stabilize the overall situation. He could only "make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence" and devote himself to reorganizing the Wanma Gang.
It took another five days.
All the snake corpses regained consciousness.
Shen Xiang's investigation also made a breakthrough, and he found the profit-sharing account book from Daoli and Shanzi.
With such irrefutable evidence, even if Qiu Luan wanted to argue, he would have no choice but to plead guilty in front of the profit-sharing account book.
"I don't think Qiu Luan will be able to show off his power this time."
Cao Jinxing flipped through the account book and said, "80-20. Everyone knows that this profit sharing is because of Qiu Luan! He is so loyal and brave! I wonder if he has anything to say!"
"such a pity."
Shen Xiang sighed: "The time is wrong."
He took out a secret letter and handed it to Cao Jinxing: "Take a look, the Liaodong General sent a message that Shi Yi should be imprisoned today and sent to the capital for a thorough investigation. But just now, a letter came from above that Shi Yi should be executed on the spot, and all the cases have been investigated up to this point."
"Why?"
Cao Jinxing frowned: "Is Qiu Luan so powerful? He can escape with this?" He took the letter and read it, and understood - there were changes in Mongolia and the border was unstable.
"I see……"
Cao Jinxing murmured, "Altan Khan and Dalai Sun have joined forces, and the court needs him to stabilize the border... hehe."
Just him?
Good-for-nothing!
Shen Xiang said: "It shouldn't happen, but this kind of formation is to put pressure on the court. He is needed to guard the border. After all, last time, Altan Khan did not invade Datong because of him."
That's because that bastard was afraid of death and bribed Aldan Khan, formed an alliance with him, and asked him to change his route to attack the capital. Then he could "enter the pass to serve the king" again, show his loyalty and courage, and take the opportunity to open a horse market, thus fulfilling Aldan Khan's wish.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence.
Cao Jinxing said disdainfully: "He is lucky."
Shen Xiang also had a bad impression of him. The more he investigated, the more he found that this great general was just a show on the outside but a rotten inside . "Yes, but since this man has dirty hands, he will be exposed sooner or later. I understand why you say he has no chance... Forget it, everything here is over. I'll take a rest tonight and return to Beijing tomorrow. Do you have anything else to do?"
"No."
"Then set off tomorrow morning."
"good."
That night.
Zhou Mingrui brought some wine to give them.
The two of them sat on the threshold of the inn.
Cao Jinxing asked: "Have you found the goods?"
Zhou Mingrui said: "No, I have been looking for it for half a month, and all the evidence shows that the pearl was transported back to Chahar. Half a month has passed, and even if we find it, we can't sell it anymore."
Cao Jinxing immediately looked sympathetic.
In this case, the reputation of the escort agency will be ruined. The escorts don't care about your difficulties. If you fail to deliver the escort, you are useless!
"fine."
Zhou Mingrui smiled instead: "The escort agency has been in business for many years, and we can still afford to lose the goods. At worst, we can just start over again!"
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "You have great ambition... It would be better if you don't clench your fist or get angry when you say this next time."
“…”
Cao Jinxing raised his head and took a sip of wine: "Reorganize your words."
"Fuck Mingzhu! Fuck Chahar!" Zhou Mingrui cursed viciously, "Next time I see them, I will smash these bastards to pieces!"
"Hahaha, that's right."
Cao Jinxing laughed and raised the wine jar.
Zhou Mingrui also raised the wine jar.
"Dry!"
The two wine jars touched in the air.
Make a crisp sound.
"See you in the rivers and lakes."
"See you in the rivers and lakes."
…
The next morning.
Cao Jinxing and Shen Xiang rode back to the capital quickly.
I brought tea when I came here, and this time I brought back frozen snake meat, snake gall, eagle meat, and the [Wanshi Horn Bow].
It took two days to return to the Zhenfu Division.
Looking at the familiar vermilion gate, Cao Jinxing and Shen Xiang both felt as if they were in another world, especially Shen Xiang, who almost couldn't come back...
"Finally I'm back."
In the inner hall of the Pacification Division, seeing that the two of them were fine, Liu Zhenyuan let out a long sigh: "Before receiving that letter, I didn't sleep for two days and two nights! Twelve, you must be more careful next time!"
The black-scaled golden flame snake is hard to guard against, so you can't blame Shen Xiang for not being careful enough.
But at this time, Shen Xiang certainly wouldn't say much, he just cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for worrying me, brother. Shen Xiang will be careful in the future and put his own safety first!"
"Um."
Liu Zhenyuan looked at Cao Jinxing and said, "Thirteen, this time it's all thanks to you. If you need anything, just ask your Twelve Brother for it! If he doesn't give it to you, I'll beat him until he gives it to me!"
Shen Xiang: “…”
Cao Jinxing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "He owes me two... no, three pills!"
Shen Xiang: “…”
"What two or three?"
Liu Zhenyuan waved his hand and said, "I'm in charge. Twelve, you get thirteen per bottle! It's settled!"
“?!”
Shen Xiang's eyes suddenly widened.
What the hell?
It is said that all parents in the world favor their youngest child. Now has the eldest brother also started to favor his younger brother?
Cao Jinxing said with a smile: "Thank you, brother. You are fair and just! You are really like Di Gong in the world, Longtu..."
Um?
Why does it sound familiar?
The corner of Shen Xiang's mouth twitched.
Liu Zhenyuan almost couldn't hold it in. He didn't expect Thirteen to be able to make such a joke. He then said seriously, "This time you thwarted the Mongolian Chahar tribe's conspiracy, killed Snake Mother, Che Gen, and Su Ri, and saved no less than a hundred people. It's a great achievement! The same goes for Twelve. Not to mention the merits of assisting Thirteen, you were able to find the root cause of the chaos in the horse market and eliminate the accumulated problems in the army. The merits are also not small. The commander-in-chief specifically instructed you two to each choose a fifth-grade martial arts method, plus a fifth-grade magic weapon from the Magic Weapon Pavilion."
"Divine Weapon Pavilion?"
Shen Xiang was stunned.
Cao Jinxing was also surprised.
"That's right."
Liu Zhenyuan threw out a key: "After you pick it, go to guard the imperial prison and have a good rest. The rebellion in Shandong is still going on. Maybe they will need your support for something..."
