Chapter 477 Zhang Kui of Tianfeng Sect
Chapter 477 Zhang Kui of Tianfeng Sect
Qin Beihuang was a little cautious and took a pill and took it himself first.
Only after confirming that it was the antidote did he give it to Jiang Ningwan.
After taking the antidote, the two men meditated for a while, and the effect of the drug wore off, and they gradually woke up.
Zhang Kui then spoke: "You are the few people I have seen who can resist the Hehuan Powder. You are worthy of being the God of War of the North and the First Female General of Daning."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him. She saw that Zhang Kui looked clear-headed and not drunk at all. He was not as crazy as he looked before.
"You already knew who we were?"
"So you gave up drinking a long time ago?"
Zhang Kui smiled, lifted his sleeves, and revealed the scars on his arms. "I cut myself 132 times before I was completely weaned."
Jiang Ningwan was shocked. It turned out that he had already quit smoking, but he paid such a painful price.
This kind of perseverance is far beyond the reach of ordinary people and is truly admirable.
After saying that, Zhang Kui looked at her with a smile, "You are the first person who offered to help me quit."
"So I think you wouldn't support this kind of harmful alcohol flowing into all places and endangering the people of the world."
Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised.
It seems that Zhang Kui knows a lot about Qianqiuzui.
Jiang Ningwan then said frankly, "We came to Liyang to investigate this wine, because it has already entered our army."
"I've seen the harm it causes, and Kyoto City has already banned this wine, but the people behind it have changed the name and continue to sell it secretly, making it difficult to stop."
“We have to find the root cause and eradicate it.”
After listening, Zhang Kui nodded solemnly, "I see, it seems I've found the right person this time!"
He quickly stood up and gestured for invitation, "Please come in and sit down and talk."
The two followed into the room.
Close the door.
Zhang Kui said seriously, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Zhang Kui. I used to be a martial arts master in the martial arts world, and now I am a member of the Tianfeng Sect."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan took out the red string bracelet and asked, "Is this your token of love?"
Zhang Kui picked up the red string, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, "This is my third sister's bracelet."
"The brothers of Tianfengmen all know him. They recognize him."
Then he hurriedly asked, "Did the brothers in the prison give you any clues?"
Jiang Ningwan nodded and took out the note written in blood.
"After we got the paper, we looked for you, but we couldn't find you. We thought something had happened to you."
Zhang Kui explained, "You saw me before you went to the government jail. I was discovered and they wanted to kill me to silence me, but they didn't suspect I was pretending to be drunk. So they knocked me unconscious and threw me into the Liyang River."
"I hid for a few days before I dared to come into the city to find you. I didn't expect you to go to Mingyue Tower. It seems that you have found Mingyue Tower."
Jiang Ningwan was terrified and asked, "Who is the one who wants to kill you and silence you?"
She sincerely hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Prince Rong.
I don’t want Qin Huaizhao and Ling Jinlan to be involved.
Zhang Kui sneered, "Who else could it be? Of course it's someone from the government."
"They didn't suspect I was drunk and pretending to be crazy, but they were afraid that I would come into contact with you, afraid that you would become suspicious and know something you shouldn't know."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank.
Qin Shuangchi also frowned and clenched his palms.
He raised his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "The arsonist at Tianfeng Gate was shouting on the pleasure boat that Prince Rong was collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country. Is that true? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Kui's expression was firm. "Of course it's true! But no one believes us."
"Before we founded Tianfengmen, many of our brothers who were harmed by Rumengzui first sued the officials and then Prince Rong, hoping to seek justice."
"But what we got in return was the destruction of our family and even our household registration. We can't even leave Liyang, and we can't file a complaint with higher authorities."
"Later, everyone was forced to found the Tianfeng Sect."
"Since the founding of Tianfengmen, no one has been a pirate. They are all ordinary people who want justice and want to fight them to the end."
"We have never robbed ordinary people's goods. We only rob those Ru Mengzui that are shipped to other places. Once we have accurate information, we will destroy them on the spot."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt a chill down her spine.
It seems that Prince Rong is deeply involved.
"So what happened on the Liyang River on the full-moon night?" Jiang Ningwan asked.
Zhang Kui unfolded the blood-stained note and spoke slowly, "That night, the owner of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce was on the boat, discussing where to send Ru Mengzui next."
"Many of our brothers have infiltrated the pleasure boat, hoping to gather crucial intelligence and assassinate them simultaneously. If we can kill them all, it would be worth it to die together."
"But unfortunately..."
Zhang Kui sighed, regretting that the enemy was not killed, but many of his brothers had lost their lives.
He lowered his head to look at what was written on the paper and slowly said, "Qi Jishan is the owner of a small business in Liyang, and he is the owner of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce's new partner."
"They want to sell a large amount of Ru Meng Zui to the Zhenxi Army."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan punched the table.
"They really did have a premeditated plan. It seems the wine's appearance in the army wasn't accidental!"
Zhang Kui nodded. "According to our investigation, the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce hired many shopkeepers, specifically those small shopkeepers with poor business, and had them travel around to negotiate deals and sell Rumengzui."
"If it succeeds, there will be a very generous reward, so those people are willing to cooperate."
"Even those who want to cooperate with the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce have to queue up. Being selected will bring you great wealth."
"When they go to other places, they will also seek cooperation with shopkeepers. People who drink this wine will become addicted and keep buying it. They transport it and make money in the long run."
"So you see, most of the businessmen in Jincheng are so wealthy because they made their fortunes by selling Rumengzui."
After listening to this, Jiang Ningwan finally understood how difficult it would be for Tianfengmen to succeed.
He is preventing everyone in Liyang from making money.
They can't even get past the hurdle of ordinary people.
It is not easy to get to this point.
"Where is the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce? We've been to Jincheng and haven't been able to find it."
Zhang Kui: "You definitely won't be able to find it since you just arrived."
“Even our locals took a long time to find out how to join the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce.”
"If you want to join the Chamber of Commerce, the requirement is to cooperate with us at least two or three times. If you want to cooperate, you must first start with the Oiran Competition at Mingyue Tower."
"First, purchase a large quantity of more than 100 jars of Ru Meng Zui and successfully sell them. You will receive a discount on your second purchase."
"You have to sell three or five times and be recognized by the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce before you have the opportunity to be personally met by the owner of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce to discuss business."
"Only after shipping large quantities will you have the opportunity to officially join the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce."
"We from Tianfengmen have not yet found the location of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce."
"But what I can be sure of is that the owner of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce is definitely not from Daning."
"Although there are many winemakers in Liyang, none of them can make Ru Meng Zui!"
“The things they can make people addicted to don’t come from Daning.”
"I've lived in Jincheng for so many years, and before the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce appeared, there was no such thing as Ru Meng Zui."
"That's why I concluded that Prince Rong is collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country!"
