Chapter 107 Secret
Entering the room, it was an airtight secret room. A candle was lit and the smell of pine filled the room. The maid closed the door lightly.
"Which force does the guest want information about?"
The short and fat manager behind the desk stood up, cupped his hands, and asked.
Jiang Ding sat down with his hand on the hilt of his sword and said softly: "I want some information about the Golden Sword Sect and Jianghu."
"All the information about the Golden Knife Sect? Or is it about a few people?"
"All."
"What level of information does the customer want?"
The short and fat manager asked, and then explained: "Intelligence is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Heaven-level information requires centuries-old medicine and treasure materials in exchange. Information below the heaven-level can be paid for with taels of silver."
"Treasure material?"
"This information can be given to the guests." The short and fat manager said: "It is the mineral material that can be used to cast the magic weapons inherited by the great sect. The power of the magic weapons is far stronger than ordinary swords and swords."
Jiang Ding thought of the white sword in Wan Qianyu's hand, which indeed seemed to be something that could increase the power of his internal energy.
"Prefecture level."
"The price is twelve thousand taels, and capital verification needs to be done first." The short and fat manager raised his hand: "Don't be surprised, guest. Even if the information of such a big force does not involve top-secret things, the price is this. If you want to ask some lone warriors The price will be much less.”
Jiang Ding handed over two banknotes paid by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
The short and fat manager carefully observed every detail of the bank note, and then smiled: "Please wait a moment, guest, I will personally deliver the information to you later. If you need to call someone, just pull the red rope on the table. ”
After a while, the short and fat manager led someone to bring back piles of books. The piles were one person high and half a person wide, making the secret room quite cramped.
"You can only watch it, but you can't take it away. You can come here to check it within fifteen days, but you can't spread it anywhere else, anywhere."
He didn’t say what the consequences would be, so he closed the door and retreated.
Jiang Ding picked up the first book, "The Origin of the Golden Knife Sect in the Year 207 of the Yue Emperor Calendar", and slowly turned the pages.
The founder of the Golden Knife Sect was just a layman. One day, he encountered an old Taoist who was seriously injured. He felt pity or for other reasons and rescued the Taoist. After the Taoist recovered from his injury, he gave him a book of exercises and a set of exercises. Pills.
The Kung Fu is the top one. The "Golden Sword Soul Killing Kung Fu" can be practiced to the point of innateness. The elixir is called Xiantian Dan, which allows warriors with perfect internal energy to break through the innateness.
From this, the Golden Knife Sect started. For more than a hundred years, its disciples have penetrated into all walks of life in the dynasty. There are important officials in the army and civil servants who came from the Golden Knife Sect.
Other major factions are similar.
It can be said that in the three hundred years of the Yue Kingdom, the world is no longer the world of the Chen royal family, but a world shared with various sects. It is not a world that the emperor wants to do.
The strongest person in the sect, the Golden Sword Ancestor, is an innate mid-term master, and his record...
Jiang Ding read slowly, without taking a break for seven or eight hours, stacking the books on the other side. He quickly became familiar with the number of inner-qi realm warriors on the surface of the Golden Knife Sect, as well as the strength and character of the major masters. Have a comprehensive understanding of family background, etc.
Turning to the latest information on Jianghu.
"...Tang Wang, Marquis of Zhendong, secretly broke through the innate world and planned to proclaim himself emperor and establish a country. He sent letters to the three sects and six sects respectively, saying that the new dynasty planned to establish a nine-rank family sect system. The three sects and the royal family were ranked first rank. From now on, only first-rank civil and military officials are allowed. It can be held by members of the three sects and the royal family, and the six sects are ranked second grade. The second grade civil and military officials are selected from the six sects..."
"...the master of the Wolf God Sect, the Wolf Lord, is not happy. There are several generals from the Wolf God Sect who have vague signs of mutiny..."
"...The royal family is born in the past, and the 'Mountain King' Chen Wu leads the Yueshen cavalry to sit in Chizhong Mansion, waiting for an opportunity to quell the rebellion..."
After reading the last piece of information and entering it into the microcomputer, Jiang Ding pulled the red rope.
"What are your instructions?"
The short and fat boss appeared, holding his hands and asked.
"I need information about three Golden Sword Sect disciples. I want them to have returned to the Golden Sword Sect within the past month. Their status is neither high nor low, and their crimes are extremely heinous."
Jiang Dingdao.
The short and fat manager showed a hint of surprise.
"This is also considered Golden Knife Sect information and can be given to guests for free."
……
"Zheng Tu, a master of inner energy, is a disciple of the inner sect of the Golden Knife Sect. He once killed Zhou Jinzhong, the seventh-rank official who impeached an important official of the Golden Knife Sect. He dominates his wife and daughter, and eats the hearts of girls. He must take one of them to the house every two months... …” “Wu Kuang, a master of internal energy and a disciple of the inner sect of the Golden Blade Sect, established the ‘Flower Hunting Sect’, a peripheral organization of the Golden Sword Sect, and collected and kidnapped women from all kinds of good families to pay tribute to the senior leaders of the sect, and made friends with important figures in the court and major factions...”< br>
"Weekday and..."
Jiang Ding walked silently on the bustling Yuejing Street, thinking about the information about the three people, and sighed.
"There are too many people who deserve to be killed...but the sword is not sharp enough, and things in the world cannot always go as one wishes."
Unknowingly, I had arrived in front of a simple house with green bricks and green tiles, and the word "Zhou Zhai" was written on it. The wooden doors and bricks all looked old, dusty, and lost their original luster.
There are two warriors guarding the door.
Jiang Ding did not believe Tianjilou's words and spent some time visiting the surrounding neighbors with Yinliang.
This week Jinzhong was indeed an upright official and treated people well. After his death, his mother hanged herself. His wife and two daughters wanted to go to their parents' home, but they were forced by Zheng Tu from Jindaomen and were not allowed to go out all day.
Zheng Tu came every day at first, and recently he came every five days, morning and evening.
As for the government, there are many important ministers and generals in the court who are from the Golden Sword Sect, and they all hold important positions. Who would stand up for an official who does not know whether to live or die?
He just reported to Zhou Jinzhong that he had died of typhoid fever and never asked about it again.
Jiang Ding waited silently at a tea stall. A few hours later, a middle-aged man with a mustache walked to Zhou's house.
“I’ve met Mr. Zheng!”
The two warriors guarding the door quickly nodded and bowed in salute.
"Do your job well and I won't treat you two badly."
Zheng Tu patted the two of them on the shoulders and walked into Zhou's house with a smile on his face. After a while, screams and sobbing came from inside.
Jiang Ding sighed and walked towards the door.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
The two body-refining warriors, both of whom were not in the inner Qi realm, looked at him warily, put their hands on the handles of their swords, and warned: "This is the property of the Golden Knife Sect!"
"It's seeking revenge."
Jiang Ding grunted, swiped his sword, and sheathed it again. A shallow blood mark appeared on the throats of the two gatekeepers, and they fell softly.
"Zheng Tu, back then you robbed my woman. Today, retribution has come. You will die!"
Kicked the door open.
A man with a mustache is chasing three women, one large, two small, each with their own charm.
His expression changed, he pulled out a thin long knife, and stared at the intruder: "Friend, I don't know you, am I admitting it wrong?"
"No mistake."
Jiang Ding slashed at him with one sword, nothing fancy, just powerful and fast.
"You are looking for death!"
Zheng Tu shouted angrily, and the internal energy in his body exploded, all pouring into the blade, and he slashed three swords in an instant, one on the left, middle and right, and the sword was bright.
Three golden slashes!
Many people in the Golden Sword Sect like to practice the superior sword skills. After practicing for ten years, Zheng Tu is confident that even in the sect, there are not many people who can surpass himself in this sword's attainments.
He seemed to see the head, chest, and waist of this unknown madman with his head, chest, and waist broken off.
bite!
During the exchange of swords, Zheng Tu's expression changed drastically, revealing a look of fear.
"Spare your life, I am Jin Daomen..."
In just an instant, three swords were cut off by one sword, and the sharp sword edge pierced through the chest. His vision suddenly went dark and he passed out.
Jiang Ding grabbed him by the neck and dragged him behind him.
He glanced at the three frightened women with a complicated expression, threw out a piece of silver, then pulled a wide cloth, covered the unconscious Zheng Tu, and carried him away quickly.
