The third master covered his mouth and fell to the ground. There was blood from the corner of his mouth. He was motionless and looked like he had been knocked unconscious.

Zhao used his internal energy, and it definitely hurt, but it wasn't to the point of knocking him out.

Looking at the third master lying on the ground, Zhao of course understood his little intention, which was just to be a turtle, which was embarrassing, but he didn't need to be beaten.

He picked up his waist badge and hung it back on his waist. He didn't care about the pretentiousness of the third master on the ground. It would not look good to argue with such a gangster. He threw the money to the shopkeeper and settled the bill. He didn't ask for change. He kicked to attract money and held the umbrella. building.

I ordered a large bucket of hot water, took a comfortable bath, asked the shopkeeper about the location of the ferry, and went to bed regardless of the time!

I stayed in the carriage for more than ten days. Although the carriage was spacious, it was really not very comfortable. After all, it was a carriage, not a palace!

After more than ten days, my body is almost exhausted! I finally had a comfortable sleep, so I had to enjoy it!

When I woke up, it was already bright. Although there was no rain, everything was wet and uncomfortable. After dinner, we staggered to the ferry.

At the ferry, Lu Wenyu was already waiting, wearing a bright red official robe, which was extremely eye-catching.

"Fifth Master" Zhao quickly walked over and said hello. The boat didn't come, so the two of them waited slowly in the river breeze. Fortunately, the weather was good, otherwise these two people would really be no different from two fools.

The boat will arrive only when the sun comes out. The boat is not big, but it can be considered luxurious. It has two floors, with lanterns hung by Jinyiwei. There is no one else except the boatman.

The two got on the boat and went down the river without stopping.

This time it felt much more comfortable. Apart from the slight shaking of the boat, there was no other discomfort. Zhao was on the upper level, admiring the scenery along the way, which was quite leisurely.

Going down the river, although taking advantage of the current, it took eight full days to reach Jiangzhou.

Before arriving at Jiangzhou Ferry, Zhao could vaguely feel the energy of Mr. Lu from a distance, seeing various colors along the river, black, white, green, and purple. He hadn't arrived yet, but a group of people It's like bringing your biological father home.

Zhao went back to the cabin and changed into his official uniform, then stood silently behind Lu Wenyu, trying his best to act like a nephew.

Not long after, the boat stopped, and several senior officials, who could tell by their official uniforms, quickly came over to help Lu Wenyu, "It's been a hard journey, Mr. Lu, thank you for your hard work. The subordinates have prepared delicious dishes, just in time for Mr. Lu to catch the wind and wash away the dust!"

Several people almost unanimously ignored Zhao Jiu behind Lu Wenyu. Only the eyes of those in black and white flying fish suits flickered, and then calmed down after looking at each other for a few times.

However, Lu Wenyu waved first, dealt with a few people, and then said to several Jinyi guards, "Zhao Muzhi, from Beizhen Fusi."

Hearing this, several thousands of households lost interest. None of them were from Beizhen Fusi. Let alone their bosses, at most they were just colleagues from different departments. Naturally, they were not worthy of their concern. However, these people were all veteran officials, and they still had the proper etiquette. They all smiled and exchanged greetings with Zhao. After all, they were not fake from the fourth rank.

Without much delay, the group rushed to the restaurant under the leadership of several local officials. It is said that Lu Wenyu is here to take over Lu Wenyu, which is nothing more than to please Jin Yiwei, or at worst to become familiar with him. Now all local officials in Jiangnan are in danger, fearing that if one person does not serve him well, his political career will soon be in place.

After a meal, everyone was enjoying the meal. Officials, big and small, took turns to greet Lu Wenyu with all kinds of compliments, as if they were free of charge. Their incisive and skillful flattery skills made Zhao even blush.

You have to be a scholar, okay!

It's just that Zhao was much colder here. When several officials learned that Zhao was from Fusi, Beizhen, and was in charge of Zhao Prison, they were almost frightened to death. They came almost respectfully and left in a nonchalant manner, almost running away. .

Zhao didn't mind this either. He came here as an official through free prostitution, not to mention Beizhen Fusi, who was famous for his small notes.

After having enough wine and food, Zhao helped Lu Wenyu back to the inn and sat across from him to drink tea.

"How's it going? Did you enjoy the meal?" Lu Wenyu spoke in a calm tone, as if he was digesting the alcohol.

Zhao told the truth, "It's okay, but the way they look at them, the word Beizhen Fusi doesn't sound right."

"It sounds good, but it doesn't sound good. It's just that we arrest people every day. It's normal for them to be afraid. It's human nature. I understand."

"What you're saying is that if you get something for free, do you care whether it's good or bad?" Zhao said mockingly to himself.

"Fifth Master, if you have something to say, just say it directly. It's not your style to take things step by step."

Lu Wenyu was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Jiu, and then slowly said, "There is indeed something wrong. You have to go to Chuzhou to kill someone."

"who?"

"Caogang leader Shi Huiming!"

Zhao didn't know why, why did he kill the leader of the Cao Gang? In my impression, the Caobang and the government have always had a good relationship, which can be said to be a cooperative relationship. Besides, Caobang is also an important factor in maintaining regional stability. Isn't stability the most important thing for the government? Why would you risk destroying this stability?

After thinking about it, I really couldn't figure it out, so I could only ask, "Mr. Lu, are you sure it's Caobang? Isn't it a grass or a tide?"

"What? You can't even kill a fourth-grade person?" Zhao Jiu's answer was beyond Lu Wenyu's expectations. Naturally, Lu Wenyu thought that Zhao Jiu thought the leader of the Cao Gang was a first- and second-grade expert.

"That's not true." Zhao realized that Lu Wenyu had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "The leader of the Cao Gang is also plotting rebellion?"

After thinking about it, this explanation probably makes sense. Killing only one can minimize the impact, which can be a small punishment but a big punishment without affecting stability.

"Just tell me whether you will do it or not?" Lu Wenyu said impatiently, "So much nonsense!"

"Do it, I must do it, don't be angry, Fifth Master. I'm just afraid of killing the wrong person." Zhao Jue reacted, he earned his own money, and he still cared about these things, damn, this official uniform, he almost forgot his original intention, he deserved to be beaten!

Zhao Jue decisively said, "Five hundred taels, Fifth Master, this is not much!"

Lu Wenyu did not bargain, and put five hundred taels of silver notes directly in front of Zhao Jue.

Zhao Jue picked up the silver notes and checked them against the light. Yes, they were real!

"I am willing to serve Fifth Master."

Lu Wenyu did not mind Zhao Jue's nonsense, and smiled as if he didn't hear it, but asked seriously, "Shi Huiming is in Chuzhou, when do you plan to leave?"

Chuzhou? Zhao Jue was stunned. Isn't Chuzhou upstream of Jiangzhou? If you want to kill someone in Chuzhou, just stop in Chuzhou. Why do you have to go to Jiangzhou? There is something fishy inside!

But Zhao Jue didn't ask why, just smiled and said, "I'll leave when I wake up tomorrow, but my dog ​​will have to trouble you for a few days."

"Okay" Lu Wenyu was a little surprised. This kid's enthusiasm for money is really not comparable to that of ordinary people. Is it a scam?

Zhao Jue didn't think as much as Lu Wenyu did. He just wanted to make money. There was no business for several months, even the God of Wealth would be panicked!
