Under the illumination of dozens of torches, there were more people in the Ma mansion at night.
In the crowd, Wang Kai and Wong Yuanwai were staring at a corpse that was dragged out of the collapsed ruins and spat, "That Ma guy has caused me a lot of trouble these years, and today I finally killed him."
The dozens of people around the ruins were slowly moving all kinds of broken bricks and rotten wood. Wong Yuanwai ordered people to put away the corpse and shouted to the crowd, "Hurry up, everyone! Clean this place before dawn, and all the wood and bricks will belong to you. This is a rare windfall."
Zhou Qingfeng believed that Ma Chaitou was a suspect, so he naturally pulled Wang Kai and Wong Yuanwai to prove their loyalty. The two cultivators who came with him were Wang Kai's bodyguards. The two spells were used at the right time, which helped him win. However, it was not convenient to clean up the mess late at night, so Wong Yuanwai simply sent people to knock on the doors of the neighbors around the Ma mansion. Soon, a lot of free laborers came to clean up the scene.
The poor people were not picky. In this cold winter, a few pieces of rotten wood could be used to keep warm. Many people called their children to come and pick up some cheap things. Not only could they pick up some broken building materials, but they could also pick up some gold and silver.
When a broken beam was moved away, the dust suddenly bulged, followed by a pile of broken bricks and rotten wood. The laborers who were picking up the debris all ran away, but a puppet bird fell from the sky. It stretched out its claws and picked up a dirty person from the ruins.
"Little Brat Zhou, I thought you were dead," mocked the flat hair man as he threw the man out of the ruins. In fact, it had been maintaining the military link with the person, so it deliberately teased him. "Next time, let's see if you dare to run around like this. You're really not afraid of death."
The unlucky person who was buried was Zhou Qingfeng. He patted the dust on his body and angrily crawled back into the collapsed ruins to dig out the 'dog meat' that was still buried inside. Only then did he have the time to say to Flat Hair, "I really almost died. Fortunately, there were three big shields, and my puppet wolf was strong enough. "
Zhou Qingfeng was indeed hit by the explosion, but he hid in the time and space island the moment he was blown away, which reduced a lot of damage. When he came out again, he was pressed under the ruins of the collapsed hall. He could only come out after part of the ruins was cleaned up.
"What was that thing that exploded?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. He felt that the power of that thing was much greater than a normal grenade. It was almost equivalent to a small-caliber grenade. If it weren't for the armor and the time and space island, he would have definitely been killed.
"You should be glad that it's a 'Dark Thunder Bead'. This thing's power is considered weak. After it explodes, it turns into a ball of darkness. It's especially suitable for the assassin to take the opportunity to escape. If it was a Yang Thunder Bead, you would definitely be blown to death. However, the Crafty Sting itself would also be blown up. "
"Where's the Ghost Thorn? Did he run away again? "Zhou Qingfeng hated the assassin more and more.
Flat Hair landed on Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder. He was surprised to find that the kid was really fine. "The assassin's injuries were much worse than yours. I think he really ran away. He won't be able to come out again without resting for half a year. "
Zhou Qingfeng and Flat Hair were chatting. Wang Kai and Wong Yuanwai walked up and smiled, "Zhou Shao is really brave. He killed Ma Chaitou and the assassin without any effort."
"Brave my ass." Zhou Qingfeng looked at his dirty clothes. He patted them and they were covered in dust.
Wang Kai looked at Flat Hair who landed on Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder and thought, "Since when did this Zhou brat hook up with Guo Buyi? If I knew you had someone like that, why would I bother you? "He cupped his fists and smiled," Zhou Shao, how was the Sound Canceling Talisman I gave you? "
"It was, it was. I couldn't hear anything from outside." Zhou Qingfeng acknowledged Wang Kai's loyalty. "The two helpers you sent helped a lot. If it wasn't for them, that Ma Chaitou wouldn't have been easy to deal with."
"Then about the medicine we agreed to sell before …?" Wang Kai dragged out his tone and asked.
"That's good. We'll do it according to our agreement." Zhou Qingfeng nodded.
Wang Kai immediately clapped and cheered. "I'll take care of the Ma mansion being destroyed at night. I won't let Zhou Shao worry. "
Zhou Qingfeng found that he couldn't pat the dust off his body, so he gave up and sighed, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. But don't forget to share half of the Ma mansion with me. After all, I helped you get rid of an opponent. "Then he left with Flat Hair and Dog Meat.
Returning to his territory in the west of Fu Shun City, Zhou Qingfeng ordered people to boil water and clean himself. He soaked in a large wooden basin and asked lazily, "How much did we get this time?"
The Phantom Sting's Yin Thunder Bead blew up everyone present. The two cultivators Wang Kai sent to help simply ran away. Zhou Qingfeng was trapped under the Ma mansion's hall, but the people around him didn't stay idle. After knowing that his life wasn't in danger, Xu Bing took people to ransack the Ma mansion and found all the valuables that could be easily taken away.
The things were packed up and transported by Flat Hair through the air. Gold and silver weren't the most important, but there were many unexpected things. For example, the human-faced demon found a secret room in Ma Chaitou's bedroom. After Flat Hair broke it open, he found a lot of information about Fu Shun's border defense.
"The written records in Ma Chaitou's hands are much more detailed than what we know, even more detailed than the records in Fu Shun. The earliest record I saw was more than ten years ago." Xu Bing sat in front of the large wooden basin where Zhou Qingfeng was bathing. She grabbed a document and handed it over.
Zhou Qingfeng still wasn't used to the vertical text from right to left, but after reading a few sentences, he was shocked and asked, "This guy is a constable, but why did he record the number of patrolling soldiers and the time? Moreover, it was recorded more than ten years ago. "
"To be exact, it was recorded more than ten years ago until now." Xu Bing waved the other ten or so documents in her hands. The two looked at each other for a few seconds and said in unison, "This guy is a spy?"
In Liaodong, other than Daming, there were only the Jurchen and Mongolians. The Mongolian forces had long been dispirited, and only the Jurchen could plant spies all year round. To be exact — Jianzhou.
"Hey …, this Nurhachi is interesting." Zhou Qingfeng quickly flipped through the other documents and quickly found that the contents of Ma Chaitou's records were all-encompassing. Not only did it contain the Ming Dynasty's military forces, but it also contained a lot of business information. There was even a slave trading file that recorded the slaves' abilities, and the various craftsmen's jobs were written in the suffix.
"According to the records we saw in the history books, Nurhachi used rooms to attack the city many times. If he didn't bribe the guards, he would create chaos in the city. From the looks of it, these spies weren't arranged at the last minute, but had been lying in ambush for many years. "Xu Bing said.
The Ming Dynasty's border generals felt that the Jurchen and Mongolian barbarians were the same, good at fighting and straightforward, and easy to recruit. They liked to use barbarians as servants and generals. This naturally made it easier for Nurhachi to plant spies. Right now, Liaodong had probably been infiltrated into a sieve by the Jin Dynasty's ruler.
"Can you find Ma Chaitou's connections?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
An intelligence network would definitely have more than one person. Xu Bing took out another name list and said, "This Ma Chaitou's connections are not recorded, but there are quite a number of his connections. Basically, they are all his yamen runners and servants. I think he would sort out the records once a month and use the opening of the horse market to report information. As for who he would give it to, only Ma Chaitou himself would know. "
For some reason, Zhou Qingfeng thought of the Jurchen merchant Ma Chengta. He told her his guess, but Xu Bing couldn't confirm it and could only make a record.
The value of Ma Chaitou's records was great. It greatly enriched the database in Xu Bing's hands. There were many situations that Daming Qianhu didn't record, but this constable did. And with this information, Zhou Qingfeng could grasp a lot of the underground secrets of Fushun and Liaodong, such as some smuggling networks, roads, people, and footholds.
In addition to the things obtained from Ma Chaitou, Xu Bing also handed a bag to Zhou Qingfeng. "This was torn from Gui Si when he was attacked by Flat Hair during the fight."
There was a bright golden bead in the bag. When it was taken out, it carried a hot air. Xu Bing smiled and said, "Flat Hair said this is the 'Yang Thunder Bead'. It should be bought by Gui Si together with the 'Yin Thunder Bead'. The 'Yin Thunder Bead' is less powerful. After it explodes, it prevents the enemy from escaping. This' Yang Thunder Bead 'is simply a powerful bomb. It is equivalent to the full power of a Level Five spell. "
Zhou Qingfeng accepted the bead as his trump card. He stretched his body in the big wooden basin and said happily, "Although I didn't kill Crafty Sting, he shouldn't be causing trouble for the next half a year. In this half a year, I can develop ten times stronger than I am now. At that time, I will have money and people. Why would I be afraid of an assassin? "
"What if he comes to assassinate the people around you? For example, me. "Xu Bing reminded coldly, which shocked Zhou Qingfeng. "When can I have the power of spells like you?"
Xu Bing didn't envy Zhou Qingfeng for having the Time Island because it must be shared by both of them. However, she was quite envious of Zhou Qingfeng's mastery of spells. It was too magical. As for Xu Bing's safety, Zhou Qingfeng also had a headache. "I didn't have the ability from the beginning. It took a long time. I feel that this is an ability that is stimulated by a huge emotional impact in the heart. "
Xu Bing had already analyzed the process of Zhou Qingfeng awakening the Horizon Light. The result of her analysis was that she had to walk her own path. Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was getting stronger, she could only continue to explore patiently.
"Get up and follow me back to the room."
"What?"
"I watched the whole process of you attacking the Ma family with binoculars from afar. I'm a bit scared now. I can let Tan Feng or Flat Hair protect me during the day, but you have to protect me at night. You have to sleep with me. "
"Uh … I can let Dog Meat accompany you. That dog is quite clever and has a high level of intelligence."
"I don't want a dog. I want a living person."
"If you let me sleep with you, can I do that with you?"
"That?"
"That's the one …"
"Oh, that! You're quite direct, but I understand. But when I want to sleep with you, I'll let you know. Right now, I just want to find someone to let me sleep peacefully. If you dare to touch me, I'll let you know the consequences. "
