Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 561: The whereabouts of Zhanzu

Since I was brought here by the night guards just now, I have already revealed that this old man with a white beard, whose original name is Yinglu, is not simple. Now even the important officials under King Qi are looking for him to discuss matters. It seems that this old man is much more powerful than Gui Bugui imagined.

After listening to Zhongyong telling the story of the two great masters entering the city outside the door, the owner of the grocery store hesitated for a while, and said to the general of the commander outside the door: "Lord Zhongyong, I already know what you said, I will send someone to investigate about Dafang Master, and I will inform you immediately after I find out."

After a few words, the white-bearded old man pretended to yawn, and then said to the commander general outside the door, "Is there anything else Zhongyong has to do? If it's all right, it's getting late, little boy. The old man won't leave you as an adult."

At this time, the commander general, who was standing at the door, was a little confused. After a pause, he first laughed dryly, and then continued: "There is a small matter, His Royal Highness Qi is a young man with a temperament and a good ranger. There is some deficit in the money account, and His Majesty has issued an order several times. This time, another 100,000 stone of military rations were sent, but the state of Qi suffered a severe drought this year, and the state treasury was afraid that it would not be able to provide this military ration. If Mr. Zheng can share the worries of the monarch, this 100,000 stone military ration will be distributed. From monarchs and ministers below, Mr. Zheng will be grateful."

"Lord Zhongyong, your words are serious, but it's just a little food. Your Highness needs to spend it. Besides, the little old people are all citizens of the Qi State, and their lives are in the hands of His Royal Highness. How dare you care about that. A little food?" Speaking of which, the white-bearded old man chuckled. After a pause, he continued: "Since the little old man is a citizen of the state of Qi, he should share his worries for the monarch. In recent years, the little old man has found that the two industries of cooking salt and metallurgy in the state of Qi are declining day by day. As a person of Qi, the little old man is willing to share the master's worries, volunteer to be in charge of the salt and iron industry of Qi, and also ask the adults and His Royal Highness to fulfill the little old man's heart of serving the country."

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, Zhong Yong stood at the gate for a while without saying a word. After a long while, the commander-in-chief took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zheng, Yan Tie Guigong was a law enacted by Emperor Gaozu after he pacified the world. Not to mention you, even His Royal Highness King Qi did not teach it privately. the right to..."

"Lord Zhongyong, then the little old man will not be **** others." After the white-bearded old man laughed, he continued: "Tomorrow morning, the little old man will take his nephew to deliver ten stones of food to the King Qi's mansion, delaying the delay. If not, the army will go north to pursue the Huns."

"Mr. Zheng, you are joking, it's 100,000 stone rations..." After hearing the words of the white-bearded old man, Zhong Yong's heart raised in his throat again. Sure enough, I heard the old man surnamed Zheng in the door sneer, and then said: "Didn't you just agree on ten stone grains? When did it become one hundred thousand stone? Lord Zhongyong, you will change for a while, yes Do you want to frame Xiao Laoer? Where is this small grocery store worth 100,000 rations? To be honest, it will take Xiao Laoer’s uncle and nephew two years to earn it back.”

At this time, the general of the commander was also tangled in his heart. Since King Qi took the throne, the entire state of Qi has been a mess. There is absolutely no way to get the 100,000 stone military rations now, and the old man inside the door seems to be an ordinary grocery store owner, but in fact this person is extremely rich and has eyesight. Up to His Royal Highness King Qi, down to the merchants and pawns, all have inextricable connections with this person. Zhong Yong even suspected that the reason why Emperor Wu sent Liu Hong, who had just come of age and had not yet been deeply involved in the world, to be the monarch of Qi State, was the old man who manipulated it behind the scenes.

But now I can't offend this old man no matter what. Seeing that it's time for the military rations to leave, it's too late to think about getting rations from other countries. During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Han laws were strict, if the rations could not be delivered to the front line on time. At that time, the officials overseeing the **** of military supplies in the state of Qi could not escape death. And the supervising official is the general Zhong Yong, the captain of Qi.

Just when the commander general was struggling, the white-bearded old man inside the door smiled lightly, and then said: "Master Zhongyong, although the little old man can't afford 100,000 stone rations. But finally I also know a few rich owners who have some food. If the adults don’t dislike their countrymen’s ignorance of etiquette, the little old man can introduce them to the adults. If the big guys gather together, maybe they can really gather the 100,000 stone grains.”

At this time, Zhong Yong could only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't dare to say anything. For fear that the white-bearded old man in the door would lead the topic to the salt and iron monopoly again, the old man was relieved after hearing a few polite words, he said goodbye immediately, and hurriedly walked out of this small grocery store.

After waiting for the commander general to walk out of the grocery store, he smiled and said to the white-bearded old man: "Old man, I really thought that you gave up the wealth of your family, so it turns out that you have changed the soup, old man. , the medicine is still in the pot. By the way, Zhang Mingfang died hundreds of years ago, what is the name of the original Yinglu now?"

"It's called Zheng Yu now. After Zhang Mingfang, there are a few more names, but they're all gone. They're all the names of some Yamano villagers. If you don't return, you probably won't want to hear it." The oil lamp was turned on, and he glanced at the people who did not return through the light, then smiled slightly, and said again: "Little old man is no better than your alchemists and cultivators who have magic skills, you can't see their faces until they are lit. Mr. Wu Mian is by my side, right? Xiao Laoer has several friends of monks, and his ears are already filled with Mr. Wu Mian's name. When I see him today, he is really like a fairy."

After hearing this, Wu Mian just glanced at the white-bearded old man slowly, and didn't mean to say anything.

After Zheng Yu finished speaking, Bai Wuqiu, who couldn't wait, pointed to his nose and said to the white-bearded old man, "How about me, Laozi? My name is Bai Wuqiu, what do your fellow monks say? Lao Tzu's?"

Before Zheng Yu could speak, Gui Bugui said first: "Sir, don't interrupt children. Once you start talking, it will be endless, and it will be dawn in a while. Brother Zheng Yu, don't talk to children. General knowledge. Let’s get down to business. The original turtle shell should still be in your hands, right? I found a place for it, the old man. Zhanzu can only use it once. It’s been three hundred years, so you should know Got it. It's time to give it another home."

"Unfortunately, it can only be used once..." After listening to the words of Guibugui, Zheng Yu sighed softly, and then continued to say: "But once I saved my life, otherwise, When Qin destroyed the state of Qi, I was no longer alive. It was only then that I learned to be good, and I abandoned the high-walled house and moved to this small family's home. Anyway, saving my life is more important than anything else. Or what you said back then, the older one lives, the more afraid of death."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yu sighed, and then continued: "The turtle shell is useless after one use, but after all, it is a heavy treasure, and it is not suitable to keep it around, so I hid it..."

Speaking of this, the white-bearded old man smiled strangely at Gui Bugui, and then continued: "Brother Fugui, guess where I can hide the ancestor of divination?"

"Give it if you want, or grab it yourself if you don't give it to me. What do you mean by the old thing?" His words were swallowed back just now, and Bai Wuqiu was already full of anger. A belly of anger fell on Zheng Yu's body.

"Who are you yelling at, kid?" The monster behind Zheng Yu didn't dare. He took off his clothes on the spot, revealing his body full of scars and tendons. He wanted to rush over to meet Bai Bai again. No effort required.

Gui Bugui gave a wry smile, raised his hand and tapped each of the two monsters who had already rushed together and were about to fight together. I saw that their bodies were fixed in place. The old guy ignored the two monsters, smiled at Zheng Yu who was still smiling bitterly, and said, "Old man, I thought of it when I came here, brother, you won't hide Zhanzu by your side, since it's Qin Mie When you were in the state of Qi, brother, you used a tortoise shell, so it should be lying on the ground with the starved Qi Gongwang now?"
