Yuzhu Academy was originally established by officials exiled to Lingzhou in order to educate the people and cultivate disciples and talents. Yuzhu Academy was built on the mountain, and the mountains and forests are located in many bamboos, so it is named after it. The academy is quiet and has beautiful scenery. The officials, gentry, literati and scholars of Lingzhou often gather here.

In a water pavilion surrounded by green bamboo in the academy, several people were authentic tea papers, chatting and laughing freely, and it was so comfortable. One of them sat in the first seat, Zhang Shibi, the current governor of Lingzhou, was in his forties, with a white face, some powder, slender eyes, and three long beards under the jaw. After careful decoration, his expression was calm and majestic.

Those who were arranged by the court to serve as officials in Lingzhou were usually people with no background. This was true for Zhang Shibi. He had been an official for many years and had only climbed to the position of governor step by step. Even though Lingzhou was not a good place, Zhang Shibi made up his mind to make some political achievements. After taking office, he drastically cleared up some bad policies and punished a group of corrupt officials. The officialdom in Lingzhou was suppressed, winning the praise of many gentry and famous scholars, and his reputation grew.

Dada dada...

Zhang Shibi talked with a group of friends with a strong heart. A burst of rapid footsteps destroyed the atmosphere, but a slight official rushed over.

"I'm so panicked, what's the point!" Seeing that the person coming was his subordinate, Zhang Shibi shouted loudly, with an angry face.

The little official's feet softened and he immediately fell to the ground, "Sir, I really have important things to report."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Well……"

"It's okay, I'm the ones here who are my best friends, so don't worry."

"Report to the Lord, many villages along the coast were robbed by a group of bandits, and many tax officials were killed. Qiongzi, who paid tribute this year, was all robbed..." The minor official reported carefully.

"hiss--!!!"

Zhang Shibi, who had always been calm, could no longer remain calm. He took a breath of air conditioning and his face turned pale and turned red. Qiongqiong was a tribute, and the tribute was robbed, but it was a huge matter. If the thief was not captured and the tribute was recovered, the blame would inevitably fall on him. In any case, this matter must be investigated strictly.

After considering it, Zhang Shibi's expression turned right and asked the minor official: "Where did the bandits come from?"

"It was said that it came from the sea." The little official replied hurriedly.

When Zhang Shibi heard this, his face couldn't help but twitch and said, "On the sea..."

Many bandits in Lingzhou are famous. He had heard of them before he took office. He didn't think so at first, thinking that it was the officials who tolerate traitors. As long as they acted decisively, the bandits would naturally be wiped out. After taking office, they knew how rampant bandits in Lingzhou were rampant. The people in Lingzhou were tough. Many people served the people in the day and at night, and it was difficult to distinguish who was the people and who was the thief. They were familiar with the local mountains and forests and terrain, and they came and went without a trace. The little people in the government wanted to pursue them was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket. Especially now, a group of bandits who are called masked thieves robbed the gentry and were unscrupulous.

Zhang Shibi kept receiving complaints from some traitors, hoping that he would destroy the masked thieves. Zhang Shibi had already ordered the county governments to send people to arrest the masked thieves, but there was no progress. It was not that the county governments were silly and disobeying, but the masked thieves were really cunning and fierce. They were very beautiful in every robbery, leaving no clues, and there was no pattern to follow. There were many people and all were martial arts. Generally, the government did not dare to provoke the little men. Moreover, since the masked thieves became famous, several groups of bandits who claimed to be masked thieves have also learned some methods of masked thieves, making it difficult to distinguish between the authenticity of the government.

There is no clue about the masked thief. Now there is another group of pirates. There is nothing to do on land, let alone on sea?

"I am plagued by civil affairs, and I will gather with all the wise men again, say goodbye, say goodbye."

Zhang Shibi just thought about it and felt a headache. He was not in the mood to chat here, saying goodbye to his friends, rushing back to the state office, and summoning his aides to discuss countermeasures.

If many scholars in Daxia cannot be officials, they will rely on officials and become staff members and provide advice for the chief officials. There are many powerful figures and are also well-known in history books. As the governor, Zhang Shibi has a high position and is naturally accomplices, and there are also many talented people among them. Even though he has limited knowledge of this group of pirates who plundered tributes, he will quickly help Zhang Shibi come up with a series of countermeasures.

Since it is a pirate, there are always places where the ships dock. Just find the nest, explore the realities and reality, and then send a large army to catch them all in one go. This strategy is simple, but it is very feasible to capture the key points of the pirates, but the premise is to first understand the origin of the pirates. Before this, it is not advisable to use officers and soldiers to search in large numbers, as it will only alarm the snakes and make the pirates flee far away. Therefore, it is better to investigate secretly.

Therefore, Zhang Shibi ordered the county government to send people to investigate secretly, and report it immediately if there is a clue. In addition, Zhang Shibi also sent some of his own guards. These guards are not ordinary soldiers, but some of the martial arts who have defected to Zhang Shibi over the years. Some of them come from some sects and some of them have been roaming in the world. Officials of Daxia generally have their own guards. After all, many warriors are lawless and relying on their high martial arts skills to kill officials is not a strange thing. Zhang Shibi was able to get to this day, and he has relied on these guards to get rid of dangers many times. Moreover, these guards are familiar with the affairs of the world, and often find help from friends in the world to solve some problems.

Therefore, Zhang Shibi believed that things would soon be obvious, and he just waited to send a large army to suppress the pirates and capture them in one fell swoop.

The subordinates went out to investigate, but Zhang Shibi did not sit in the prefecture and waited for news. He went to check the situation of the Lingzhou naval army and prepared to arrange the encirclement and suppression of pirates. As a result, after checking in person and understanding the situation of the naval army in private, Zhang Shibi's original high confidence suddenly fell to the bottom. Now many warships in the Lingzhou naval army are outdated and disrepaired and cannot be used. The naval army soldiers are dissatisfied. The lieutenant generals colluded with private salt dealers to buy private salt, and occasionally they would do some unsubstantiated business. If it weren't for the skin of the official army, they would be almost the same as a group of water bandits. Such a naval army would have found the nest of the pirates, and could really defeat those fierce pirates? Zhang Shibi was really unsure.

The navy had to rectify it, and Zhang Shibi was a little nervous and immediately started to do this. As a veteran in the officialdom, he was familiar with such things, and he was just to use both kindness and power. He first threatened him on the charge of selling private salt, and then made a promise to encircle and suppress the gold, silver and treasures obtained from the pirates, and divided them to the navy. The navy immediately screamed, hoping to fight with the pirates immediately, but...

After a few days, the reports from the county governments came up. After reading them, there was nothing useful. The guards also returned one after another, but they all found nothing. They went to the docks and other places to inquire and ask about some gangs in the martial arts, especially some gangs that often walk on the sea, who knew nothing about this group of pirates. The group of pirates seemed to emerge out of thin air, without any trace.

Zhang Shibi and his staff were at a loss. At this time, an escort made a suggestion: "You may ask Yulou for help in this matter."

Tingyulou is an assassin organization with its power throughout Daxia. As long as it can afford the price, anyone dares to kill. In addition, Tingyulou also does some spy intelligence and steal important items. Through them, they can obtain some information and things that are usually difficult to obtain by means.

This is an extremely dangerous underworld organization. Not only ordinary people, but the lives of court officials are also under their threat. Therefore, the Daxia court has always wanted to wipe out Tingyulou. However, Tingyulou has been established for hundreds of years and has become a powerful force. Its members are hidden in various identities. Before it was exposed, no one knew that they were members of Tingyulou. The court designed several times and failed every time, but instead made Tingyulou hide deeper and become a terrible poisonous snake hidden in the shadows. However, Tingyulou has never shown hostility to the court and is still doing business, and even the business of the court officials is not refusing.

As an official of the court, Zhang Shibi was really unable to help such a gangster organization, but there was no other way at this time, so he had to instruct the guards to contact Tingyulou, hoping that the matter could be solved with the power of Tingyulou.

Three days later, Zhang Shibi received a report from his subordinates that Tingyulou took over the deal, but for a while, there was no news from Tingyulou. Zhang Shibi really had no choice but to take the Lingzhou naval army to the sea for a few days, but of course he got nothing. He and the navy returned in disappointment.

The robbery of Qiongzhu was spread in Lingzhou. While people were amazed, this group of pirates were so bold that they wanted to rob Qiongzhu. Even if they were robbed, the government would not have any mistakes. What a sum of money it would be! Any one of them would be enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime.

At the same time, Xiao Tianlei was also worried about how to deal with this group of Qiongzi.

It is no secret that the magistrate Zhang Shibi ordered a secret investigation into the origin of the pirates. There is no airtight wall in the world. The county governments mobilized a lot of people for this. The news spread quickly. The secret investigation naturally became an open investigation. The magistrate could not have thought of it. The Brotherhood is now a local tyrant. Among the members of the Brotherhood, some fathers, brothers and uncles were working in the government office, and they got the news early.

Xiao Tianlei did not expect that this matter would attract the attention of the prefect. He was relieved to learn that the Qiongzi stolen was a tribute. However, he did not have any special thoughts because of this. He did not think that they could find out anything.

Xiao Tianlei is very vigilant and considers keeping it confidential before doing things. Although his fleet is now rampant in Qionghai, it has no reputation and has no interaction with people in the world. He usually does business normally. Once something happens at sea, he will either kill all the people or catch them back as hard work. Outsiders cannot know the inner feelings at all. This time, Xiao Tianlei only has a temporary idea and his hands and feet are clean. It is difficult to find out what he wants.

However, Qiongzhu is a bit difficult to take action. Scarce is expensive, and most of the things can only be sold at a low price. Qiongzhu is a tribute and will also attract some attention. That is not what Xiao Tianlei hopes to see. In fact, these Qiongzhu can also be stored there. However, Xiao Tianlei likes to use everything for the best use. He always feels that these beads are annoying and selling them for gold and silver.

"Or why not grind them all into powder! Yes, grind them all into powder and make skin care products!"

Xiao Tianlei's inspiration flashed. Isn't Qiongqiong just a large pearl? It's better to grind it into powder and make beauty and skin care products. Of course, Qiongqiong wasted a little bit of it. If you want to do it, you can make it high-end. So Xiao Tianlei found some powders, oils and the like that often used for makeup to compare it, and tried to make a high-end skin care product.

Cosmetics were not developed successfully in a short period of time. During this period, Xiao Tianlei took his brothers out to do a ticket, but this time his goal was different from the past, and it was a temple.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and many people don’t know how much money they donate every year. The temples and Taoist temples also have a lot of land and industries, so they don’t have to pay taxes. It’s a pity not to rob them. These temples and Taoist temples do not have fortifications. There are usually some monks and Taoist priests in the interior, at most they can cultivate the level of qi. If you want to talk about powerful characters, you have to go to those famous temples and Taoist temples that specialize in martial arts.

"Robber Le, the Bodhisattva will not blame us, right?"

"Bodhisattva? Who has seen it? Even if there is, Bodhisattvas still need gold, silver and jewelry? Those monks are just a group of scammers who cheat money under the guise of Bodhisattvas. We have to spend some time to rob them and do our best. If they don't rob them, who will not rob them?" Xiao Tianlei has no good feelings for such guys who are not doing childbirth. If he really talks about the harm of these temples and Taoist temples, he still knows a lot, but he just said that, maybe the brothers don't understand it very much.

"What Russian brother said is definitely right. Russian mother said that Russian brother is the lower realm of the stars in heaven, and he knows the things in heaven best!" Xiao Tianfu took over the conversation.

Xiao Tianlei was also helpless about his brother's superstition. He seemed to be unable to explain his affairs except for this statement, so most of his friends agreed with this statement. Xiao Tianlei really couldn't explain it, so he could only let them go. For the moment, the benefits of this matter outweigh the disadvantages.

A few friends with some doubts thought it, and thought it made sense, so they immediately lost their worries and shouted, "Snatch him!"

"Snatch him!"

After all, some people are only concerned about robbing the temple. Most of the members of the masked thieves are still Shanyue people and do not believe in Buddhism. Shanyue people generally believe in various natural gods, mountain gods, water gods, etc.

After unifying the thoughts, the following matters are simple. Now Xiao Tianlei's robbery group has been highly professional. At the command, the various systems cooperated without interruption to investigate which temple has more oil and water, formulate robbery and transportation plans, and then find a suitable night to sneak in to deal with the monks responsible for the vigil, and use the smoke to make the rest of the sleeping monks sleep even more dead, and then you can move things with peace of mind.

Two days later, the governor Zhang Shibi received a report from the county magistrate of Le'an County, saying that the Qingliang Temple in Le'an County was looted by a group of masked bandits, and even the golden paint of the Buddha statue was scraped off. It was so vicious, insatiable, and no grains of rice were left. Needless to say, it must be the genuine masked thieves. Although there are many bandits in Lingzhou, most of them are masked. After becoming famous, many masked thieves appeared. However, with such a clean and clean style, there was no branch in this one.

"Lawless! Extremely rampant!"
