Chapter 409 Yungong Mountain [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"Undercover?" Liang Yue looked at him.

"That's right." Chen Ju said with a serious face: "When I first came to Yunlu City, I was just doing business, but not long after, someone from the Yihuo Sect came to me and tried to get me to join the sect. I refused without even thinking about it at first, but the next day someone in the family sent me a message, asking me to pretend to get along with the Yihuo Sect members to get information."

After a pause, he continued, "You know, Chen Daoguan, the great general of the Nanzhou Military Town, is a direct descendant of my Chen family. In terms of seniority, I have to call him Eighth Uncle."

Liang Yue had heard of this. Among the four great families in Shendu, the current Chen family was the weakest in officialdom. However, no matter how weak it was, it was only compared with the other three families. It did not have important ministers like Qi Kunlun, Song Zhili, and Liang Fuguo.

Outside the realm of the four great families, the Chen family's power is still enough to look down on the world.

Among them was Chen Daoguan, one of the great generals of Wu'antang.

The officialdom of Nanzhou has its own system, so it is naturally impossible for Emperor Mu Bei to send people related to them to guard Nanzhou. Therefore, the main generals of the Nanzhou military town are all from the Shendu family, so as to ensure that there is no collusion between them.

The current commander of the military town is Chen Daoguan, and this is the main reason why the Chen family’s business can grow in Yunlu City. It is impossible for other aristocratic families in Shendu to expand their businesses to such a large scale in Yunlu City.

"In fact, when the Righteous Fire Sect first started making trouble, the imperial court had already noticed it, and the Nanzhou Military Town has been on high alert." Chen Ju continued, "It's just that the three great families in Qingdu have not relented, and the imperial court has not sent an order to the military town to send troops. But my eighth uncle has a hunch that sooner or later they will have to send troops to suppress the bandits, so he asked me to contact the Righteous Fire Sect first and collect more information about them."

"So I joined the Righteous Fire Sect and donated a lot of money. They didn't have many pilgrims in Yunlu City, and I contributed the most. My name is often mentioned here."

"But in fact, I have only been a member of the church for a short time, and I have not been exposed to any core affairs. I am just a big pilgrim who donates money. Although I seem to have a high status, I am actually an outsider. So I didn't find out anything useful until that day..."

Having said that, Chen Ju poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

Liang Yue had already sat down and was listening to him carefully.

At present, he believed everything Chen Ju said. His friend's character might be in ruins, but his wisdom was even more devastated.

If you say that Chen Ju was able to make up such a logically rigorous lie in such a short time, it is not a question of whether Liang Yue believes it or not, but if he had this ability, his status in the family would not be so low.

If he had any value in training, he would not have to spend his own money to enter the Imperial Guard Station.

Later, thanks to Liang Yue, he was able to enter the Zhuxie Yamen. It was probably because of this experience that the family felt that he still had a chance to be saved, so they sent him to Yunlu City to manage the business. Although he was not in the center, he was able to take charge of things on his own, which was considered a distant transfer and promotion in the family.

But Liang Yue knew at a glance that Chen Ju was still the same Chen Ju.

Apart from vulgar tastes, there is nothing else on his mind. In a sense, he is a very pure person.

Chen Ju continued, "That day, Yuan Qizhu of the Righteous Fire Sect found me..."

"Oh, yes. They have a hall in every prefecture. The head of the hall is called the incense master. Several halls are considered a banner. There are only three or five banner masters in the entire sect, and they are considered to have a very high status. Above them is the Holy Lord who only exists in legends. The Yuan Banner Master is named Yuan Fukang, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Righteous Fire Sect in Nanzhou."

"He knew that I had some connections in Yunlu City, so he asked me to invite Zhao Faxian to dinner, saying that he wanted to ask for something. Of course I refused. Although he wanted to get information, I didn't want to get involved."

"But he immediately found two female believers to persuade me."

"I am convinced."

Having said this, Chen Ju paused, with a hint of aftertaste in his expression.

Liang Yue also knew why the Chen family came to him to be an undercover agent. He was very suitable to play the role of a dandy boy who was bribed and corrupted.

Purely true to life.

"Later, I helped him invite people. So although I was the host of the dinner that day, it was actually a meeting between Yuan Fukang and Zhao Faxian. I was just the middleman."

"Then do you know what they talked about when they met?" Liang Yue asked. "Of course I heard about it." Chen Ju said, "It seems to be related to a case in Yungong Mountain, which is a mountain outside Yunlu City. It seems that a floating corpse was washed down by the river on the mountain. Zhao Faxian, as a criminal justice officer, investigated the case. Yuan Fukang hoped that he would not continue to investigate and just regard it as an accidental closure. He also gave Zhao Faxian a gift. I don't know what was in it. He asked Zhao Faxian to go back and take a look before making a decision."

"As for whether Zhao Faxian agreed or not, I don't know what happened next, but the next day, I heard that he suddenly disappeared."

"I guess..." Chen Ju pondered, "It is indeed possible that Zhao Faxian did not agree to their request, so the Yihuo Sect attacked him."

"How big of a case is it that makes them dare to take action against the Qingdu prison officer?" Liang Yue also frowned and pondered, "Do you know the specific details?"

"Then I don't know." Chen Ju said: "I didn't dare to ask too much. After all, the people of the Righteous Fire Sect are still somewhat dangerous."

"Oh, I see." Liang Yue nodded.

It seems that I have to look for someone from the Ministry of Justice here next. Only officials know the inside story of the items found in Zhao Faxian's home and the Yungongshan case.

If it was really the Righteous Fire Sect that was behind this, then things would be simple.

The two had just finished their conversation when they heard another knock on the door.

Liang Yue exchanged glances with him, then dodged and hid behind the screen.

Chen Ju asked, "What's wrong?"

"Young Master, I'm here to deliver today's visiting card. Master Feng Xiang from the Yihuo Sect has come to see you three times and has always wanted to meet you." It was the servant of the Chen family who was reporting outside.

"No, no, haven't these people cheated me enough?" Chen Ju shouted.

"Lord Song from the government office also invites you to meet him at his house." The servant continued.

"No!" Chen Ju frowned and whispered to Liang Yue, "This old man is the household registration officer of Yunlu City. He asks for money secretly or openly all day long. He is so old, and I don't know what he wants to do with all the money he has collected. Is he going to buy Yunlu City as a cemetery?"

"Captain Zhang from the government office has come to look for you many times." the servant continued.

"No!" Chen Ju still refused. "If he has anything to say, just bring the imperial documents to me. Don't bother me again and again in private!"

"Miss Liu from the Fairy Boat in the Clouds sent someone with a message saying that she is willing to see you." The servant finally said.

Chen Ju suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Prepare the carriages and horses, and go to the Fairy Boat in the Clouds!"

"No?" Liang Yue looked at him strangely, "Aren't you hiding from trouble at home? Are you not afraid of danger anymore?"

"You don't know, this Fairy Boat in the Clouds is the number one pleasure boat in Yunlu City, and Miss Liu is the top girl in the Fairy Boat in the Clouds. I have invited her for a long time. Today, she finally agreed. How can I let her down?"

As he said that, he smiled and waved to Liang Yue, "You should come too. We haven't been together for a long time. I will set up a banquet in the pleasure boat to welcome you."

"That's fine." Liang Yue nodded, "It's just right for me to call two more people to come together."

"Who is it?" Chen Ju asked, "The men you brought with you?"

Liang Yue replied: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Chen Ju shuddered, "Ah?"

　Good morning.
