Chapter 4197 4199 [Dongchang Secret Library]
After Xiang Nan sneaked into Dongchang, he slowly searched for the whereabouts of Tianxiang Cardamom.
He first went to the most important headquarters of Dongchang, where Cao Zhengchun held discussions with his subordinates.
It was equivalent to the Hulong Hall of Hulong Villa. On weekdays, Cao Zhengchun held discussions with the Dongchang stalls and Jinyiwei commanders, discussing how to expand his power, suppress the courtiers, and deal with Hulong Villa.
Coincidentally, when Xiang Nan arrived, they were discussing Duan Tianya and Haitang's visit to Minzhou to investigate the Giant Whale Gang.
"Lord Governor, my subordinates have found out that the Giant Whale Gang has colluded with the Fuso Iga Clan and the Yagyu Clan to smuggle goods, sell illegal salt, privately accumulate armored soldiers, and have evil intentions." One person said, "If it is not eliminated in time, it will become a serious problem in the future. "
"The giant whale gang is nothing more than a disease of mustard moss. It's not worth worrying about at all." Cao Zhengchun sneered, "The reason why I want to deal with it is just because the **** supports it. Since he wants to support it, then I must be opposed to.
It's best if one or two of Ouchi's secret agents can be killed this time. When the time comes, Hulong Villa will be exhausted. I'll see what Zhu Tiedan can do. "
"In that case, Lord Governor, should we send someone to do something?" Seeing what he said, one person immediately asked.
"That's not necessary." Cao Zhengchun waved his hands and said, "First of all, your martial arts may not be their opponents. Pi Xiaotian and the hundreds of black-clad archery teams are no match for them. It is useless to send a few people there;
Secondly, the Giant Whale Gang has Yagyu Tajima Mamoru and his daughter in charge. They are two of the best masters in Fuso. If they are not under Duan Tianya and Haitang, they may not be able to reap the benefits.
The most important thing for you to do is to investigate clearly where Su Xin is hiding in Tianshan, and to find the little gangster to make things right.
He is actually Gu Santong's apprentice, and he has also learned the indestructible magical power of Vajra. This person is much more useful than Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang. "
Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a large number of people, there are not many available masters.
Because Dongchang has a relatively bad reputation, they are all a group of eggless castrates, and few experts are willing to cooperate with them.
Not to mention famous sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kongtong, even evil sects such as the Demon Sect, Wu Gang, and Five Poison Sect are the same.
And ordinary people are no match for Ouchi's secret agents, so sending hundreds of people up is basically nothing. Therefore, Cao Zhengchun did not want to send anyone, lest he die in vain.
As for success and failure, he was very interested.
In fact, he also wanted to learn the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility and the Great Absorbing Power. But he was really no match for Gu San Tong, so he failed to get it from Gu San Tong.
Now that Gu Santong has a descendant, and Cheng Shifei does know the indestructible magical power, he naturally wants to catch Cheng Shifei.
When the time comes, he will be forced to find out the secret of the indestructible magic power of Vajra and the power of absorbing power. Why should he bother to practice the boy's skill again?
"Yes." Everyone stood up and responded in unison.
"Go." Cao Zhengchun immediately waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat.
…
After hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire Cao Zhengchun for being very good at grasping the main contradiction.
For Hulong Villa, even if the two secret agents Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang died, it would not be a big deal.
Because the backbone of Hulong Villa is the Iron God Hou Zhuwu, Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang are just tools in his hands.
But if he finds Su Xin and the woman Shen Hou loves most, he can control Shen Hou and will have no rivals from now on.
This all shows Cao Zhengchun's vision and cunning. Sure enough, it is not easy to be the governor of Dongchang and compete with the gods.
Xiang Nan then left the meeting hall and continued to search for Tianxiang Cardamom.
Because he did not find the whereabouts of Tianxiang Cardamom in the meeting hall.
It's no wonder that people come in and out of the meeting hall every day. It's impossible to put valuables here, otherwise they may be easily taken away.
It is in line with the saying, "The more it is a den of thieves, the more it is necessary to strengthen the prevention of theft."
So Xiang Nan then went to Dongchang's treasure house.
Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty had great power. They could supervise the army, supervise taxes, and even the imperial palaces in various places were managed by eunuchs.
The Dongchang was a special agency set up by the emperor to supervise civil and military officials. It could supervise and arrest subjects at will without going through interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the Dali Temple.
Therefore, there were many eunuchs sent by the imperial court to supervise the army, supervise taxes, and supervise Huangzhuang, as well as civil servants and military officers at all levels in the world, who wanted to curry favor with Dongchang.
All kinds of gold and silver jewelry, rare treasures, delicacies, silks and satins, etc. are given priority to the East Factory, especially to the governor Cao Zhengchun.
It can be said that although Cao Zhengchun is no longer on the throne, the glory and wealth he enjoys is still above that of the emperor.
For example, the best Yuqian tea was given to Cao Zhengchun first, and the emperor drank it all. The best Su embroidery was given to Cao Zhengchun first, and the emperor wore low-grade tea. Loquats, mangoes, lychees, etc. were sent as tribute from the south. Fruit is also the best thing that Cao Zhengchun eats, and the rest will be given to the emperor...
Therefore, the Dongchang Treasure House not only occupies a large area, but also contains rich contents. It can be said that there are all kinds of gold, silver, soft, rare and rare treasures, etc.
For example, a walnut-sized luminous pearl, a coral tree over four feet high, a whole ivory nearly two meters long, a gold boat studded with jewels, a Buddha statue carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade...
These are rare treasures in the world, but Xiang Nan is not interested. Wealth and honor are like dung to him.
These gold and silver jewelry are very valuable to ordinary people, but to him, they are almost worthless.
But he was soon moved because he saw many rare medicinal materials.
For example, ginseng weighing more than a pound, bezoar the size of a duck egg, fleece-flower root the size of a baby, ambergris more than two feet long, and even rare items such as dog treasure, pig sand, donkey treasure, centipede inner elixir, and spider inner elixir. Spiritual things.
These medicinal materials are extremely precious and often cannot be bought even if you have money. They can even save someone's life at critical moments.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was not polite and immediately used the copying spell to copy all these medicinal materials. Then put the genuine product into your own storage room and put the fake product back into the medicine box.
Anyway, the shape, color, smell, etc. are all the same, so it is difficult to distinguish them.
In fact, the copying spell is a very profound form of transformation. The better you understand the item, the more successful the copying spell will be, and the copied item will look more like the original.
Therefore, many people in the wizarding world can copy spells, but not many can apply them skillfully, and even fewer can copy them. Therefore, most wizards cannot make profits or even save money by using copying spells.
For example, although the Weasley family has no money to buy new books, they cannot use the copying spell to copy a new book from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
Because there is so much content in the book, not everyone can fully remember it. Therefore, the copied books must be full of typos and cannot be used.
But Xiang Nan's medical skills are amazing and he also knows a lot about Chinese medicinal materials, so the medicinal materials he copied using the copying spell were very lifelike. Even the medical saints may not be able to tell the difference.
