Chapter 56 Black Moon Branch

After returning to Shangqing, Zheng Junhao's first thing was to find out the details of the white-robed Taoist.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. If you come to pick a fight without knowing anything about it, you will inevitably fall behind.

If you want to get information about a person, you can naturally ask ordinary disciples, but generally you can only get a few words, and it is difficult to get a full picture.

If you want to fully understand the details, you also need to find someone who is well-informed and has extensive connections.

Among the people Zheng Junhao knew in the Shangqing Sect, there happened to be one person who met this requirement, and this person was the Taoist girl Hu Zhu.

It happened that he also wanted to find Hu Zhu to get the disciple orders and Taoist robes of his inner disciples, so after returning to Shangqing Sect, they first returned to their residence, packed their bags, washed and rested for a day, and then went straight out. Went to look for Hu Zhu.

Before arriving at Hu Zhu's residence, Zheng Junhao discovered that the handyman who had previously caused trouble for the two of them had long since disappeared. He had apparently been kicked out by Hu Zhu.

He was replaced by another young handyman.

This handyman must have just taken office not long ago, and he was full of passion for everything around him. When he saw Zheng Junhao arriving, he also stopped him and said:

"You two gentlemen, stay here. The Taoist lady's residence is just ahead of you. Do you want to see the Taoist lady if you have something to do?"

Although Zheng Junhao and his two men were also prevented from entering, the servant's attitude was much more respectful than the previous one.

From this point of view, the reason why the handyman was so arrogant and unreasonable was his own problem, not the atmosphere of Hu Zhu's residence.

"The two of us are old acquaintances with your Taoist daughter. We came here this time to discuss something, and I hope that the higher-up will inform the two of us."

If someone respects me a foot, I will treat him as a foot. If this handyman treats the two of them with respect, Zheng Junhao will naturally not put on any airs.

After hearing the words, the servant cupped his hands and asked the two of them to wait for a while, then ran towards the inner courtyard in small steps.

After a while, someone walked out of the inner courtyard. The man was tall and strong, and was undoubtedly the steward.

"Two distinguished guests, please come in quickly. The Taoist lady is already waiting for you inside."

Before they even got close to the two of them, the handyman started to greet them.

And Zheng Junhao was not restrained. At this moment, he directly followed the handyman into the inner courtyard and met Hu Zhu.

Hu Zhu was wearing a white gauze skirt, and she had a somewhat otherworldly temperament. Although it was far from that of Dao Lan, she was still stunning among mortals.

"Did your trip to the mountains to collect herbs go smoothly?"

Seeing Zheng Junhao, Hu Zhu smiled and asked softly.

"I came here just to tell you this." Zheng Junhao sighed and pretended to have a headache. This also aroused Hu Zhu's curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

"The two of us gathered medicine and returned. On the way back to Shangqing, we encountered three thieves who wanted to steal all the elixirs from us. Fortunately, he underestimated Yaxi's cultivation and was counterattacked by us. In our After being tortured to extract a confession, it was discovered that this person was sent by the white-robed Taoist, and he is here just to inquire about the white-robed Taoist. "

Zheng Junhao told Hu Zhu exactly why he came here. Naturally, it was impossible to tell the whole story without any reservations, but at least most of it was true and it would not affect his judgment.

"The white-robed Taoist you are talking about is Xi Xuanzi who specializes in selling ferocious beast inner elixirs?" Hu Zhu touched his chin, thought for a while, and said

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Hu, can you tell me the details?" Seeing that Hu Zhu actually had clues, Zheng Junhao was secretly happy. He knew that he had found the right person this time, so he continued to ask.

"This Xi Xuanzi is the largest evil beast inner elixir dealer in Wuliang Mountain. The reason why he is so big is because he is backed by the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, or in other words, he is part of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, and he is The leader of the branch of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce in the Shangqing Sect.

Because the Black Moon Merchant Guild was at odds with my superior, the sect leader had long wanted to eradicate it, but because he could not find a legitimate reason, it was never carried out. As time went by, the matter was settled.

Xi Xuanzi obviously knew this very well, so he was very naughty. No matter what happened, he could rely on his strong financial resources to get his own way, so there was no clue left for a long time. I think this time he dared to secretly send someone to rob him. You, maybe it’s because you have a lot of grudges with him.”

After listening to Hu Zhu's words, Zheng Junhao suddenly realized that the more than sixty inner elixirs he had asked for were too many, too much for Xi Xuanzi to bear, so he sent someone to snatch them back, but this person was afraid of the Shangqing. Causing trouble played into Han Zhao's hands, and Zheng Junhao was highly valued by Han Zhao. If he killed Zheng Junhao, he would definitely trigger a large-scale investigation by Han Zhao.

If he is found out by investigation, if nothing else, his Black Moon branch will definitely not be able to continue to operate. In this way, he will really steal the chicken but lose the rice, lose his wife and lose the soldiers.

That's why his request to the assassins was to try not to kill them unless absolutely necessary.

"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Hu, for this foundation-building high-grade elixir, I will give it to fellow Taoist to express my gratitude." With that said, Zheng Junhao took out a foundation-building top-grade elixir from his storage bag and handed it to Hu Zhu.

After Hu Zhu accepted it, she was naturally happy. She had just reached the late stage of foundation building and was only on the seventh level. Now she needed these top-grade foundation building elixirs.

And within the Shangqing, even if she is a Taoist girl, she will not receive particularly many high-grade foundation-building elixirs, and most of the elixirs handed out have been used and consumed, so Zheng Junhao’s elixir at this time, It seemed very valuable.

Zheng Junhao was able to give such an expensive gift without changing his face. It seemed that he truly regarded him as a friend.

So, from then on, Hu Zhu positioned Zheng Junhao's position in a very deep place, and the people in this place were all people completely worthy of her trust.

However, what Hu Zhu didn't know was that among the elixirs the two of them got this time, there were a hundred foundation-building elixirs. And Hu Zhu had done him such a big favor, so it was natural for him to give one away. Why? Will it hurt?

However, this also depends on personality. Even though some people have great wealth, they are extremely stingy and unwilling to give a penny to others.

After Hu Zhu accepted the elixir, there was a sudden knock on the door. After getting Hu Zhu's consent, the person who knocked on the door pushed the door open and entered.

The people who entered were two women, both carrying a wooden tray, on which were placed a Taoist robe and a token. They must be Zheng Junhao's disciples, Ling and Taoist robes.

"Your Taoist robes and disciple orders have been made and sent to my house these days. When I saw you arriving just now, I sent my maid to pick them up. You can try to see if they fit." He raised his hand to signal to the maid. "Back off," Hu Zhu said.

Hearing this, Zheng Junhao picked up the Taoist robe on the wooden plate, looked at it, and then put it on.

This Taoist robe is made of green silkworm silk. It is cool and comfortable to wear, and the size is moderate. It can be seen that the people of Shangqing put their heart into it.
