Cheng Jin shrugged his shoulders and said: "The price is not a problem, as long as I like it." After saying that, he asked again, "Is there any better silk?"

The waiter nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, yes, as long as the general ?" Not caring about the price, even the highest quality silk, our silks also have stock. Would the general like to see it now? "

"Of course." Cheng Jin said as he raised his head.

"Then... General has to wait for a while. I will go back and get it. " As he spoke, the waiter slipped downstairs like a wisp of smoke.

After he left, Gao Mucheng looked at Cheng Jin and asked softly: "General, do you think there's anything abnormal about this place?"

Cheng Jin shook his head, looked around, and said: "This is just an ordinary silk manor, there is nothing special about it."

Gao Mucheng's eyes turned, and said: "Wait until the waiter comes back, I'll test him."

Cheng Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Mucheng in puzzlement. He did not know how he planned to probe further, but Cheng Jin did not ask him.

Not long after, the waiter returned with a well-dressed middle-aged man and two young servants. After arriving on the second floor, his face was full of smiles. He quickly walked forward, and with a bow, he said: "I don't know if General Gao is here to welcome you." While speaking, his gaze shifted, and looked at Cheng Jin, and asked: "May I know who this lord is ??"

Without waiting for Cheng Jin to reply, Gao Mucheng introduced him: "My brother here is surnamed Cheng, and is someone close to the King. She is also a high ranking official who has made her presence known to all.

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" The shopkeeper cupped his hands, nodding and bowing.

Gao Mucheng laughed, then waved his hand and said: "The shopkeeper will accompany my brother to sit, I will go pick out a few pieces of silk."

"Good, good, good. General Gao, go ahead and choose. If there is anything suitable, I will sell the small shop to you for your capital. Ah, there is also this Lord Cheng."

"Ha ha!" Gao Mucheng laughed and praised: "The shopkeeper knows how to act!" With that, he walked to the front of the counter and said to the waiter, "Little brother, help me introduce that model. That model is both good and cheap."

The waiter hurriedly said, "General Gao, don't worry. This lowly one will definitely help the general choose the most valuable and inexpensive one."

"That's good." Gao Mucheng replied, then casually asked: "Did you hear about the King's assassination last night?"

The waiter's heart tightened. He subconsciously looked at the supervisor and nodded: "Such a big thing, of course I've heard about it. I wonder if the assassin has been caught?"

Gao Mucheng waved his hand and said: "Not yet, I let the assassin escape." Pausing for a moment, he pointed to a piece of silk and praised, "This one is not bad, it's smooth and beautiful."

"In the eyes of the General Gao, there are a lot of Sir s who like this model. However, the price is a bit too expensive." The waiter said with a troubled expression.

"Then forget it, that little bit of Salary that I have every month is far inferior to my brother here." While talking, he took a glance in Cheng Jin's direction, and then asked: "Oh yeah, has there been an eyesore from the Spirit Cultivator in your shop recently?"

The waitress didn't even think before blurting out, "No!"

Gao Mucheng's hands that were fiddling with the silk clearly stiffened, and then he chuckled and asked: "You're not a Spirit Cultivator, and you don't even know the Arts of Clairvoyance, how do you know that there definitely aren't any Spirit Cultivator among the customers?"

"This ?" The waiter did not expect Gao Mucheng to catch him in his casual reply, he did not know how to reply, and only paid attention to the manager from their side. He frowned, walked up, and slapped the back of the waiter's head, and scolded: "You don't know anything, what are you spouting nonsense for?" Saying that, he smiled apologetically at Gao Mucheng, and said: "General Gao, I am not very sensible, if there is anything wrong with my words, I hope that General Gao will forgive me."

Gao Mucheng laughed, and said: "I was only casually asking that. If any of you discover any suspicious people, you must immediately report it to the County Head Palace, understand? "

"Yes, yes, yes!" This little one will definitely pay close attention. "

At this time, Cheng Jin also walked over and picked out a few high quality silk fabrics. After paying the silver, he and Gao Mucheng left. When the two of them had left the village, they walked some distance away before giving each other a look and entered an alley by the side of the road.

Cheng Jin took out the piece of silver that he had found in the silks. It was exactly the same as the piece of silver that Gao Mucheng had picked up earlier. He did not immediately state his stance, and asked Gao Mucheng instead: "General Gao, how do you feel?"

Gao Mucheng said in a serious tone: "On the surface, there doesn't seem to be any problems with the silks, but I keep having the feeling that something is amiss."

"That's right!" I feel the same way. " Cheng Jin muttered: "Perhaps this is just intuition! "You said the owner of the silks is called ?"

"His name is Meng Pingan!"

"Do you live on Provincial Capital?"1

"Yes, it's at the East of City."

"Tonight, go and search it. Also, verify if our instincts are correct." Cheng Jin looked at the silver pieces in his hand and said faintly.

Gao Mucheng revealed a troubled face and said, "General Cheng, Old Master Meng and County Head are quite close, if we send troops to search, I'm afraid ? I am afraid that he would have already alerted the other party and let him be prepared. Furthermore, the County Head may not agree to it. "

"Humph!" Cheng Jin laughed coldly and said: "How can a mere County Head let him spoil our great plans? I will borrow a brother from the General Wu s. "

"That's for the best." Gao Mucheng was relieved. With the movement of Directly Subordinate Army, there would be no resistance like Wang Song's. In addition, her Directly Subordinate Army was much stronger than the county army's, so he would be more confident if her Directly Subordinate Army was to come into play.

There was nothing to say at night. Waiting until the time when the time was young, Cheng Jin brought twenty thousand Directly Subordinate Army warriors to let Gao Mucheng lead the way, directly rushing to Meng Pingan's residence.

Meng Pingan was a famous rich man in terms of Chang City, even his entire Zeping County.

However, no matter how big the Meng Family's residence was, it couldn't withstand the siege from the twenty thousand strong army. After the twenty thousand Directly Subordinate Army warriors rushed to the Meng Family's residence, they immediately surrounded the residence in all three layers, with not even a drop of water being able to trickle through. Looking out, lanterns, torches and torches illuminated the outside of the mansion as bright as day.

With such a big commotion happening outside, the people inside must have sensed it. Very quickly, a Domestic Servant opened the door a crack and peeked her head out to see what was going on. When Domestic Servant saw the sea of soldiers outside, she was so shocked that her face turned ashen. Without saying a word, she closed the door and ran out to report to Meng Pingan.

Cheng Jin and Gao Mucheng could see everything clearly. The former sneered, shouted left and right, and said: "Knock on the door, if no one answers, directly smash open the door!"

"Yes sir!" The Directly Subordinate Army Soldier interjected to receive her orders, striding forward with large strides. Raising her fist, she smashed towards the manor door randomly, and at the same time, shouted loudly: "Open, open! If you don't open the door, we'll smash it! "

After knocking on the door for a long time, and seeing that no one had come to open it, the Directly Subordinate Army Soldier was enraged. As he spoke, he waved to her companions: "Smash the door!"

Following his shout, ten odd strong men of Feng Army walked over with hammers in their hands. The hammer was a wooden stake on top, with a wooden stake hanging below. When it was used, people would pull the stake on top of it, making use of the thrust and inertia to create a collision force. It was similar to the Thunderbolt Car principle used to break down the city gates, but it was a bit lighter and easier to carry.

Under the powerful impact of the hammer, the house door quickly became crumbling. Just then, someone inside shouted loudly, "Stop! "Quickly stop ?"

Hearing someone shouting, the Feng Soldier s in front of the gate all pulled on the wooden stake and stopped striking it. Soon after, the house door was opened, and a large group of Domestic Servant s and guards ran out, led by an old man.

Seeing this old man, Gao Mucheng's eyes lit up, and said to Cheng Jin who was beside him in a low voice: "General Cheng, that old man is Meng Pingan."

Cheng Jin did not reply, he only used an ice-cold and sinister gaze to size up the old man, and at the same time, slowly nodded his head.

The old man was obviously someone who had seen the world, after coming out, he saw that there were so many soldiers outside, without a trace of nervousness on his face, he cupped his hands towards the surroundings and asked calmly: "This old one is Meng Pingan, I do not know if you would like to come in the middle of the night, what may I do?"

"We're going to search for the assassin!" A captain of Feng Soldier replied coldly.

"Assassin? Where did this old man get his assassins from? There must be a misunderstanding! " The old man smiled at the Feng Soldier leader, and said: "Moreover, this old one's house has already been searched multiple times, if there was an assassin hidden, wouldn't it be found already?!"

"Don't be so long-winded! It doesn't matter if there's an assassin, move out of the way! " With a wave of his hand, he pushed the old man away horizontally. If not for the surrounding Domestic Servant being fast enough to support the old man in time, he would have fallen to the ground on the spot.

"How dare you!" The old man was angered to the point that his face flushed red, he said angrily: "This old one's relationship with County Head is quite deep, wait for this old one's family to cause trouble, if County Head finds out, I'm afraid that the old man will die!"

Without waiting for the surrounding Feng Soldier to respond, Cheng Jin, who was behind, had already laughed out loud. He rushed to the front and reined his horse in front of the old man, lowered his head and stared at the old man for a while, and said: "Do you think that just because you know the County Head, you will have a Gold Medallion of Life and Death? Even if you bring out the god of heaven himself, we will still search him without holding back! " While speaking, he waved to the Feng Soldier soldiers around him.

All of the Feng Soldier followed orders, and everyone swarmed forward like a swarm of bees.

Seeing that, the old man immediately opened his arms wide, blocking the Feng Soldier, and then raised his head and spoke with a trembling voice to Cheng Jin: "General, do not go too far, if you really want to search this old one's house, find the County Head, or take County Head's orders!"
