Chapter 1380: Pay tribute!

Capital city, Mianyue Tower.

This place is full of lights, wine and women, and luxury.

The thinly dressed woman sat on the stage with a pipa in her arms.

As soon as her embroidered mouth opens, she starts singing a beautiful song.

Along with the sounds of the pipa and the soft and warm fragrance of the breeze around.

It's so delicious that it makes your bones crack!

In the audience.

The coquettish woman raised her glass to toast and showed her courtesy to the wealthy and powerful.

The capital city is full of extravagance and worldly life.

All of this is clearly reflected here.

Zhou Bangren was dressed in brocade and sitting at the table in the hall.

He had a ruddy complexion and looked normal.

His hands were clasped together, veins bulging and feeling slightly damp.

The toes were shaking violently.

This looks like shaking legs.

In fact, it is because of fear.

What he fears is nothing else.

Instead, there was a detective disguised as a servant standing beside him, and a black flag hanging beside him.

And a lit sky lantern!

Ever since the detective found me a few days ago.

He asked me to bring him to Mian Yue Tower to contact the boss.

At first Zhou Bangren wanted to refuse.

However, the detective forced him to come by offering him the antidote to the Xuanyin Magic Finger.

The so-called Xuanyin Phantom Demon Finger.

It was a martial art created by Ye Lingzhou and was used to force confessions.

Those who are infected feel unbearable pain and itching, and life is worse than death.

If there is no antidote or method to reverse the qi and blood, death is certain within seven days.

Wang Ye once used this move on Zhou Bangren when he was in the capital.

Before leaving Beijing.

Wang Ye asked Xiang Jiuzhen to send someone to deliver life-extending pills every seven days.

That's why.

Zhou Bangren is the only one who can live to this day.

At the same time, he could not refuse the request made by the detective.

after all.

That feeling of extreme pain and itchiness all over the body that is difficult to get rid of.

It really makes his life worse than death!

That's why he brought the detective here.

"You seem very scared!"

Looking at Zhou Bangren's appearance, the detective said, "You've been a member for so long..."

“This shouldn’t be…”

“I used to wait passively for contact…”

After hearing what the detective said, Zhou Bangren said, "This is the first time I have contacted the higher-ups..."

Probably trying to hide his nervousness.

Zhou Bangren picked up the tea bowl beside him.

Crash...

Suddenly, the tea bowl in his hand made a series of noises.

The tea splashed out.

This shows how nervous Zhou Bangren was.

Seeing Zhou Bangren's appearance, the detective's eyes narrowed.

He snapped his fingers.

Swoosh! A stream of energy broke through the air and hit an acupuncture point behind Zhou Bangren's ear.

Suddenly Zhou Bangren's breathing became heavy.

A blush appeared on his face.

The originally trembling palm suddenly stabilized.

"What did you do to me?"

Feeling all this, Zhou Bangren spoke.

"Give you a hand..."

Hearing this, the detective said, "You keep shaking, which will easily reveal your flaws..."

"This will ruin things..."

After these words came out, Zhou Bangren wanted to say something.

Dengdengdeng…

At this moment, a man in brocade clothes came to Zhou Bangren.

He bowed and said, "My master invites you to a private room for a chat..."

Here we come!

After hearing the man's words, Zhou Bangren's heart moved.

At the same time, he asked, "Who is your master?"

As soon as these words came out, the man smiled slightly: "Since you have lit the lamp and hung the flag..."

"Why ask when you already know the answer?"

At this point, the man raised his hand and said, "You two, please?"

Hearing this, Zhou Bangren nodded.

He stood up and followed the man towards the private room deep inside the room with the detective.

…

Follow the man's steps.

The detective and Zhou Bangren arrived deep in the Mian Yue Tower.

During this time, both of them were put on black hoods before they could continue moving forward.

Although he couldn't see, the detective felt that he was going downhill.

As we keep moving forward.

He only felt that the noisy sound in his ears gradually became smaller, and finally there was the echo of footsteps in the empty space.

The decadent fragrance gradually dissipated.

Instead, there is a light and elegant fragrance.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This atmosphere is completely different from the atmosphere outside.

"You two..."

At this moment, the man said, "Please stop!"

“We’re here!”

While they were talking, the black hoods of the two were taken off.

When I raised my eyes again.

The detective found himself in front of the door of a dim room.

There is a wooden door in front of me.

The lights flickered, reflecting the figure of a person reading a book.

At this time, the man leading the way came to the door.

He knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the person has been brought here..."

"Um!"

At this time, a voice came from the door: "Zhou Bangren, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice..."

"I heard your teacher mention you..."

"They say you are smart, capable, and worthy of training..."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir..."

After hearing the words from the door, Zhou Bangren said, "I am only trying my best..."

“Humble, good…”

A faint voice came from the door: "Speak..."

"What do you want to do when you see me this time?"

"Your Excellency..."

Hearing this, Zhou Bangren said, "The matter of Tiansheng Bank has been settled..."

"I am here to pay a visit to you, my Lord..."

"At the same time, I would like to ask you if you have any other instructions..."

These words were given to Zhou Bangren by the detective.

This not only shows that Zhou Bangren is ambitious.

at the same time.

You can also see what the other party can do next.

"oh?"

After hearing Zhou Bangren's words, a voice from inside the door said: "Interesting..."

"Your teacher just nominated you to come up..."

"You just take the initiative to visit and find something to do..."

"It seems like you are very ambitious. You want to leave your teacher behind so soon!"

At this point, the voice from inside the door became heavier.

Plop! Upon hearing this, Zhou Bangren knelt directly on the ground.

He said to the inside of the door: "Teacher, I will never forget your kindness in helping me..."

"I'm just..."

“Don’t be afraid…”

Before Zhou Bangren could finish his words, a voice came from inside the door: "Having ambition is a good thing..."

"Only ambition can accomplish great things..."

"I like ambitious people like you!"

At this point, the voice inside the door paused.

Following the sound of two papers being flipped, the voice continued: "This month, Luzhou Prefecture encountered a lot of unexpected events when paying tribute to the government..."

“This isn’t a big deal…”

"But some officials who didn't know what was happening reported the matter to the Ministry of Justice, and also mentioned some of Guangping Prefecture's affairs..."

"It just so happens that you are the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice, so it will be convenient for you to handle things..."

"I'll leave this matter to you!"

Offer tribute!

Luzhou Prefecture! Guangping Prefecture! Upon hearing these words, the detective's heart skipped a beat.

Just from these few sentences he derived an extraordinary piece of information.

First it was Songjiang Prefecture.

Now it is Luzhou Prefecture and Guangping Prefecture.

These three places are thousands of miles apart!

It's actually related to the matter of offering sacrifices!

This shows that the tribute paid by Songjiang Prefecture was just the tip of the iceberg.

Behind it.

The states and cities involved in the tribute may be far beyond your imagination! (End of this chapter)
