Behind me is the earth

Ren Pingsheng lay down on the soft bed, pulled Ruan Tang to let her lie down too, and then rested his head on her soft belly.

Xiaowan was feeding him strawberries.

After Chujiang Province introduced strawberries from Wuzhou, they grew even better than those from Wuzhou. They are large and juicy and extremely sweet. The flesh is cool and leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth after eating.

He closed his eyes and smelled the fragrant smell of Ruan Tang's body.

The babbling sounds around him gradually faded away from his ears. He relaxed mentally, but left part of his attention on the group of militiamen and the boat in the middle of the lake. They had finished talking about business and were having fun. On the group of people having fun.

Meng Jin was born in the Wuyang Meng family, a wealthy family in Yuntai County. He graduated from Yuntai Military Academy and had good martial arts skills.

During last year's war to unify the South in Wuzhou, Meng Jin, who had been in charge of the government for two and a half years, even though he had received the best examination results, was decentralized to the counties in Wuzhou and could only be the mayor of a large town. , or go to some small counties to be an assistant officer such as a county magistrate or a county captain.

If you stay in the department, you can only get a department-level position.

Therefore, in order to express his ambition as soon as possible, he responded to the call and followed the army going south to serve in the new southern city.

At that time, due to the sudden expansion, there was a serious shortage of reserve officials. Any reserve official who followed the southward movement could at least get the position of county magistrate. Reserve officials like him who are the best in the assessment can basically get a prefecture official position.

Originally, he was arranged to serve as the prefect of Sanqu County in Guangnan Province. But during this process, due to the complex internal environment of Jinshan County, Jiujing left a whole team here, including dozens of first-class officials such as Shangshu and Taiwei.

At that time, due to the stability during the preparation period, it was definitely not possible to abolish all the troops, so it was necessary to install officials with sufficient capabilities.

During the exchange between the first and second route armies, Qin Sheng took the opportunity to recommend Meng Jin.

And Meng Jin became the county magistrate of Xicheng County in Jinshan County.

Although it is only a county magistrate, as the old capital of Jingnan and the largest city in the south with millions of people, Jinshan County also enjoys a higher administrative level. His rank is the same as that of the prefect of Sanqu County. He is a department official. .

Moreover, in order to maintain stable operations during the war, there were still a large number of former officials, which made the situation here complicated. The work requirements in such a place are higher, but doing the same thing is more likely to be seen by the adults in the court, and naturally it is easier to accumulate political achievements, which is what he wants.

This time, someone suddenly beat a drum at the yamen gate late at night to report the crime.

Meng Jin was woken up from a deep sleep. After hearing what the whistleblower said when he entered the lobby, his anger immediately disappeared when he got up!

He asked someone to detain the informant in the county government office.

The government office was closed and no one was allowed in or out.

Meng Jin sensitively felt that if this report was true, the implications would definitely be huge. Even the people in the Xicheng County Yamen can't guarantee that they are not involved with the people behind this kind of thing.

Fortunately, the reporting time was late at night, and those government officials and scribes had already gone home. There was only one class of government officials left on duty.

These government officials are all locals and have many contacts with local gangsters.

He relied on these people for ordinary things, but when faced with such a big case, he didn't dare to trust them.

He immediately sent his cronies to the Xicheng County militia camp and called in two platoons of militiamen.

These militiamen are all from Wuzhou, and they train in the barracks on weekdays. They have little contact with the outside world and are trustworthy.

A platoon guards the yamen to prevent people from the yamen from leaving.

He went out with a platoon of militiamen.

"Sir, there are a lot of people on this boat. If the news is true, those people have guns in their hands, and they may be some desperadoes. If something happens, there may be quite a fight."

On the boat, next to Meng Jin, a thin man about thirty-five years old, wearing a green robe, said.

"If we don't catch it here, it will be difficult to catch it if we wait for the building boat to dock. This kind of matter must be resolved quickly and must not be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the possibility of the news leaking, and the more powerful the figures behind the scenes will be. Time for mediation.

Let Zhou Xun follow me for a while. You and the militiamen will be on guard in secret, waiting for my orders at any time.

Pay attention to your surroundings. If you disturb the thieves and they jump into the water, don't let them escape. "

Meng Jin stared at the building and said.

"Okay, I understand."

The man responded.

The boat pushes through the water waves and creates ripples.

In Jinshan Lake, there are countless boats, large and small, but a few small boats do not attract attention.

When the boat was about to approach the building, several shouts came from the deck: "Stay away, don't hit the boat!"

At this time, Zhou Xun knelt and jumped, and the boat beneath him suddenly pressed down violently. The sound of "bang bang" water came from the bottom of the boat.

The next moment, Zhou Xun was already standing on the deck of the ship.

The people on the deck immediately picked up their clubs and surrounded the uninvited guest.

"Show your tricks and don't get yourself into trouble!"

Zhou Xun stood up and stamped his foot lightly, and a big hole was broken in the fine teak wood used on the deck.

At this moment, these thugs immediately saw that the man in front of them was a warrior.

Of course, there is nothing unusual about the current warriors, especially here at Jinshan Lake, where we have seen many warriors. Which rich and powerful family doesn't have a few martial arts practitioners? Which big shot comes out without a few warriors to protect him?

However, just because they have seen many warriors does not mean that the status of a warrior is not valuable.

He hesitated for a moment.

At this time, Meng Jin also jumped on the boat.

"Miss Xiangjun, will you perform on stage today?"

Meng Jin landed firmly on the deck and patted his elegant black clothes.

"Master."

Zhou Xun saluted quickly and said.

"Um."

Meng Jin responded and looked behind the thugs, a madam who looked like he was in charge.

"Oh~ It turns out that my distinguished guest, please let me know. Our ichthyosaur boat is docking to pick you up. Why are we going to such a big fight?"

When the madam saw this posture, he quickly came up with a smile and said: "It's a coincidence that your distinguished guest is here. Miss Xiangjun has already rested."

"Have you rested? Did you really rest, or did you sleep with a man?"

Meng Jin walked forward, and the thugs quickly retreated.

The Fish Dragon Boat is not weak in Jinshan Lake, and there is a warrior in charge. Since the opponent is a warrior and doesn't seem to be causing trouble, thugs like them who are paid to eat will naturally not use their small bodies to get beaten.

"Young Master is joking, everyone in Jinshan Lake doesn't know that our girl Xiangjun is a housewife who only sells her art but not her body."

The madam said with a smile.

"It's not clear. Of course, we won't know until we inspect the goods. It's empty talk, so why should I believe you?"

Meng Jin spoke and walked into the building boat, while his ears moved slightly. Among the chaotic sounds, looking for the report information, that group of people engaged in criminal activities.

"Oh, sir..."

The madam was a little confused whether these two people were here to have fun or to cause trouble.

"Shut up! Why don't you go find Miss Xiangjun for my young master? My young master is here because of her fame. If you don't satisfy my young master, don't wait until tomorrow morning and let your broken ship sink into the lake!"

What the hell, you dare to call it a fish-dragon boat? Do you want to rebel? "

Zhou Xun deliberately spoke in a Wuzhou accent.

This arrogant look made the madam even more unsure of her decision.

Especially Zhou Xun’s accent.

Coming from Wuzhou, being so arrogant probably has some background.

"Okay, Madam, let's go and call Mr. Xiang over. I heard that although Mr. Xiang is a woman, the "March Song" is the most sonorous and powerful. As long as you satisfy me, I will naturally not be short of your silver."

Meng Jin said.

Listening to the young master's voice, the old bustard felt gentle. He thought to himself that he is worthy of being our son. Even though he is domineering, he still knows some etiquette. He said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will go right away. The master will rest in the hall first."

She was unsure of their identities at this time and was already a little at a loss.

"Go ahead, we don't need you to worry about it."

Meng Jin waved his hand.

Seeing the madam go down, Meng Jin winked at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun nodded and hurriedly walked towards the corridor, listening carefully to the sounds coming from each room as he walked.

"It's quite clever."

In the painting boat not far away, Ren Pingsheng secretly commented.

In order to confirm whether the reported news was true and to prevent criminals from being alert and escaping, the two men boarded the ship to investigate and check the location. What they did was quite satisfactory and there were no mistakes.

"This young man looks brave and resourceful. As a bait, he might be able to catch the big fish behind this."

Ren Pingsheng thought.

With this drive and sense of responsibility alone, this young official is not bad.

His telekinesis can easily cover Jinshan City. Even if it is covered for a long time, with his current mental telekinesis strength, it will not cause much loss. As long as the person behind the scenes takes action around the Xicheng County Government Office, he will immediately be able to identify the person behind the scenes through subtle clues.

The power of mind is much better than the Sky Eye system on earth!

Although a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to monitor the entire city all the time, as long as he monitors it occasionally, when someone chants his name, title, etc., his attention can be focused on it immediately.

In this way, some people, forces, spies, etc. who do not agree with the country's ideals and even seek to subvert it are often unable to hide.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the boats in the middle of the lake!

Xiang Jun wore exquisite makeup, and there was resentment in his eyes for being woken up late at night. He followed the madam and walked out of the boudoir step by step: "Mom, what is the identity of that young master who can make my mother so cautious?" .”

The old bustard said seriously: "Mom is not sure, but Wu Di's accent and behavior are arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't look like a good person. You will deal with it carefully later. If he is really a liar, our fish dragon boat will not be a vegetarian." !”

"If he is a warrior, he is not a liar..."

Xiangjun said, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "bang bang bang" explosion. A sharp sound roared past her ears, and a burning pain came from her neck.

She stretched out her hand and touched it, and suddenly felt a sting like a needle!

There was no bleeding, but it looked like he had been burned.

"Mother!"

Xiangjun suddenly watched in horror as the madam fell to the ground. Looking carefully, her tears and blood had stained her skirt red.

She screamed in horror and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Only then did she see a few chopstick-thick holes in the shipboard beneath her feet. Wooden stubble was torn and flying around the holes. On the opposite side of the holes, bursts of shouting and yelling came, accompanied by There were also the roars of men and the terrified screams of sisters.

"What the hell is going on? What happened?"

Xiangjun squatted on the ground in fear, trembling, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Go, help me to the bow."

The madam's weak voice came.

Only then did Xiangjun realize that the old bustard was not dead yet.

He quickly climbed forward and took two steps. It took all his strength to control his trembling thighs and help the madam up.

At this time, more and more people in the rooms on both sides were affected by the chaos on the ship. They put on their clothes and wanted to come out to see what was going on. When they saw the blood-stained madam, many people were shocked to realize that something happened on the ship!

"Bustard, let the boat dock quickly, what the hell is going on down there!"

"If your family is still going to do business in the future, is there a murder happening down there?"

"Damn it, you can't even feel safe when you go out to play. Why the fuck is the security situation so bad!"

Someone was holding up his pants and running outside.

These prostitutes don't care whether the madam is injured or not. Everyone screamed in terror. Those who can spend money here have money at home, live a prosperous life, and have a precious life. They don’t want to die here as a romantic ghost.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The gunfire was almost continuous. Xiangjun, who had just walked to the bow of the ship, saw several black grappling hooks on the edge of the deck, and a strong man with a gun climbing up. This made her even more frightened, and her legs became weak.

It's over, it's over, it must be robbers who came to rob it.

However, in Jinshan County, although there are many gangs, the fish and dragon boats have also been managed up and down. Where did this river-crossing dragon come from? And everyone is carrying a gun!

The madam got into the house, took out a porcelain bottle, carefully took out a ball of green, sticky ointment, and applied it on the wound on her stomach. The ointment condensed on the wound, and was originally leaking out. The bleeding wound stopped immediately, and the madam breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did I have the energy to see those people climbing on the deck.

The thugs on the ship hid, and the Ming Jin master who was worshiped was also tied up and thrown on the deck.

Not long after, there was a commotion on the ship, and a dozen tied people were thrown to the deck.

Several of them looked familiar to the madam, they were all guests on this ship.

Soon, the young man in black attire who came for Miss Xiangjun walked out of the boat and stood on the deck.

He stood with his hands behind his hands, and the people around him gathered around him, looking respectful. (End of chapter)
