"What Hall Master Chu said is a bit misleading."
Cao Xuan was holding a tea cup in one hand, and in the other hand was a spiritual seal under the stone table.
He squinted his eyes and said: "You are now the largest outside leader of the Iron Banner Gang. There are thousands of members in the gang under your command, and your strength is as strong as the leader. I heard that Iron Madman is planning to promote you to the deputy flag leader of the gang. It seems that
How could you not know about such a big deal as purchasing the 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbow'?"
But what surprised him was that Chu Xisheng, who was opposite him, kept his face as usual and didn't react at all.
"How long have I been a member of the Iron Banner Gang? Besides, I've been busy lately. How can I have time to take care of so many things?"
Chu Xi chuckled, and then asked curiously: "You said that Uncle Kuang is going to promote me to deputy flag leader? Where did this news come from?"
Cao Xuan was shocked and confused, this guy was acting as if nothing happened until now.
Is he just pretending, or is he really fine?
He looked down at his left hand under the table again.
Could it be that my memory was wrong? I made the wrong seal?
Cao Xuan looked carefully and thought that this gesture should be correct.
The seal is perfectly formed, each finger is in the correct position, and the whole thing looks like an orchid.
However, Cao Xuan made a new seal just in case.
"This is what Tie Kuangren said not long ago before he went to the Seventeenth Chain Pier. He also said that if anything happens to him in the future, you will inherit the Iron Banner Gang. Many people heard these words at the time."
When he said this, he gave a cold laugh: "Why do you need to fool me, Hall Master Chu? One of the 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbows' costs one hundred thousand taels of magic silver, and three of them are three hundred thousand. Iron Madman wants to use the money from your gang."
How could he not ask you, the master of Xishan Hall, what you want before purchasing?"
"I don't know if I don't know." Chu Xisheng still drank tea with a calm expression: "Chu is still relatively junior and has no chance to hear about this matter. Our Xishan Hall is large, but until now, none of them have been handed over to the general helm.
Why should people ask me for my opinion? As for the deputy flag leader, Uncle Kuang obviously said it casually."
He burst out laughing: "Besides, even if the 'Four-Armed God-Killing Crossbow' thing is true, it doesn't matter. There are so many forces that have the 'Four-Armed God-Killing Crossbow'. As far as I know, the Iron Banner Gang used to
There are three of them.
It is said that in the water battle in the upper reaches of Xunyang County a few days ago, the Seventeenth Chain Dock also used four-armed God-killing Crossbows. They had one more than our Iron Banner Gang. In order to prepare for the seventeenth chain dock, Uncle Kuang spent a lot of money to purchase them.
The four-armed god-killing crossbow is a matter of course. Do you, the royal guards, need to be so defensive?"
Cao Xuan frowned.
The purpose of Iron Madman's purchase of the 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbow' is not just to strengthen the Iron Banner Gang's combat power.
This person is obviously preparing for his promotion to the fourth rank.
It is rumored that when the 'Iron Armor Hunyuan Gong' is promoted to the fourth level, the body will be sealed in the mountain and cannot move for three days.
However, Chu Xisheng was tight-lipped even about things like the 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbow'. It was simply delusional for him to further inquire about the place and specific time of Iron Madman's promotion.
The key is that there is nothing unusual about this child so far.
It was as if he had never practiced the "Nine Refinements of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body".
Cao Xuan began to doubt himself again. Did he get the wrong book?
Give the normal "Nine Refining Ultimate Purple Gold Body" to the guy on the other side?
It's not impossible. He just picked it up casually from the bookshelf that day without looking through it carefully.
In addition, there is another situation. This person's physique is rather special, and the third level of "Nine Refinements of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body" has not been able to show its effect on him.
You need to practice to the fifth to eighth level, or even higher levels, before you will experience symptoms of itching and pain all over your body, and be controlled by their Jin Yiwei.
This was quite common in the past, with about one in five or six people.
Cao Xuan barely suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and said calmly: "Since Hall Master Chu doesn't know, forget it. However, Hall Master please pay more attention to what heavy ordnance the Iron Flag Gang will purchase in the future."
He then looked thoughtfully at Chu Xisheng up and down: "The hall master seems to have condensed the outer strength. He must have trained the Nine Refining Ultimate Purple Gold Body to the third level. The progress is very fast."
When Chu Xisheng heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and a strange light appeared in the depths of his eyes.
He smiled casually: "Fortunately, it's mainly because Master Qianhu's elixirs are enough. However, this horizontal training of domination does not seem to be interesting. If others are faster, they will not be able to guard against it.
Moreover, the more I practice, the heavier my body becomes, which affects my sword speed and body skills. The key is that I have to spend a lot of time polishing the outer gang, which makes me not enough time to practice sword practice every day."
Cao Xuan frowned secretly when he heard this.
Is this guy not going to continue practicing?
He immediately shook his head: "That's because Hall Master Chu has not yet practiced the Nine-Refined Ultimate Purple Gold Body to a deep level. The Purple Gold Body after the fourth level will only initially show its strengthening effect on the physical body. When you reach the sixth level,
, not only will it not affect your sword speed and body skills, but it will also be further strengthened.
Many of us in Jinyiwei have cultivated this external skill, both internally and externally, and their strength is extremely impressive. For example, the commander of our Jinyiwei’s office has cultivated the Nine-Refined Ultimate Purple Gold Body to the sixteenth level.
It is powerful and can withstand the full bombardment of divine weapons. His physical body is also several times stronger than that of masters of the same level. Therefore, this person's combat power is super high. He is ranked in the sky list as a second-level body and can confront first-level masters head-on.
"
He looked at Chu Xisheng with a smile: "It just so happened that your information about the Anti-God Flag last time was timely and accurate. I brought you the reward from above. It is the fourth to fifth level of the "Nine Refining Ultimate Purple Gold Body", but
You can only hold this book for one month, and remember to return it after one month. It contains the true intention and is very precious. Currently, we only have two copies at Qianhu Office in Xiushui County."
While he was talking, he placed a thin book in front of Chu Xisheng.
Cao Xuan brought this book over, originally intending to force him to find out when and where the iron madman was promoted to the fourth rank, and then use this book as a reward for Chu Xisheng, and also as a rope to further pull Chu Xisheng into the abyss.
But now the situation has changed, and Cao Xuan had to change his mind and give the book out in advance.
After Chu Xisheng took the book, he flipped through it and then threw it aside without interest.
"It's boring! My talent is not very good. It's already very hard to catch up with the super geniuses on the overall list. I also have to concentrate on cultivating the Nine Refiners Ultimate Purple Gold Body."
Chu Xisheng shook his head and said: "I have to cultivate to the sixth level so that my sword speed and body skills will not be affected, but how much time will be wasted? And there is no sixth level yet. Lord Qianhu, why don't you give me something practical, such as
A sixth-grade magic weapon, or a secret medicine that can be used to advance to seventh-grade with the Yang Yuan Gong?"
Cao Xuan's lips twitched slightly.
The price of a sixth-grade magic weapon is at least 10,000 taels, and weapons and armor are even more expensive, starting at 20,000 taels of magic silver.
The top secret medicine required to advance to the seventh level of Yangyuan Gong is as high as fifteen thousand taels.
Why should I give it to you, a disobedient guy?
He drank tea with a smile and said disapprovingly: "Actually, it won't waste much time. Hall Master Chu can purchase some more 'Four-turn Golden Body Pills' and 'Five-turn Golden Body Pills'. These are specially designed for the quick completion of "Nine Refining Extremes"
The elixir made from "Yuan Zi Golden Body" has been improved by our Jin Yiwei for thousands of years, and its poison is extremely small.
Hall Master Chu, you are the deputy of our Jinyiwei. You can buy it from within at a 20% discount. Now there is a Xishan Hall that can provide you with a way to practice. You can afford it. As for the sixth part of "Nine Refiners of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body"
Heavy--"
He took out fifty-seven pieces of rice paper and placed them in front of Chu Xisheng: "These are the important imperial criminals and magic masters who have been scurrying around Xiushui County recently. Their strength ranges from eighth to sixth level. Our Xiushui Jinyi Guards are currently seriously injured.
, have no time to care. You can use the resources of the Iron Flag Gang to remove one or two, and you can exchange them for the sixth level of skills."
Chu Xisheng looked through them casually and found that they were all pictures of wanted criminals.
But he frowned and looked at Cao Xuan suspiciously.
"Why do I feel that Master Qianhu really wants me to master this external skill?"
Cao Xuan's heart trembled, knowing that his performance just now was too worrying and impatient.
His face remained calm, and he sighed slightly: "Since Hall Master Chu has mastered this technique, it would be a pity not to continue practicing it. You don't know, I also practiced "Nine Refining Extremes" in the past.
"Yuan Zi Golden Body", but later gave up halfway due to lack of money, and regretted it for a long time.
Now is the best time for you to practice the "Nine Refinements of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body". After this age, your bones and fascia are set, and you will have to do twice the result with half the effort during practice.
Not only can this technique use elixirs to quickly reach the eighth level, but as long as you overcome the difficulties of the ninth to tenth level, the subsequent practice will be much simpler than other golden body hegemony. Moreover, each level of improvement can be greatly strengthened.
The physical body can benefit people endlessly. Those who have cultivated this skill to a profound level have always had super combat power."
Chu Xisheng looked at Cao Xuan for a while, then smiled and took the book and the many portraits into his arms.
"Forget it, I'll practice first and see. By the way, Master Qianhu, do you have anything else to ask about, just asking about the 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbow' and these wanted criminals?"
Cao Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart.
There are many things he wants to ask, but he can only give up now.
The only thing that made him happy was that his recruitment of Chu Xisheng into the Imperial Guard was of some use.
At least Chu Xisheng, the most wanted criminal and magic master who fled to Xiushui County, can help.
※※※※
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Xisheng refused Cao Xuan's banquet and left the 'Fumanxiang' bakery shop through the back door.
The man in black robe, who had been silent all this time, sat down directly opposite Cao Xuan.
At this time, not only did his demeanor change greatly, his posture became very casual, and he looked at Cao Xuan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
He no longer looks like a follower, but like Cao Xuan's boss.
"You asked me to come here specifically just to let me hear this?"
This person's voice is very strange, neither male nor female, it is difficult to distinguish male and female, and it seems that the voice has been deliberately changed.
"Excuse me, Special Envoy, there was an accident today." Cao Xuan frowned and bowed his hands respectfully: "I gave him the third-level Gaiden version of the "Nine Refinements of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body", and as a result, everything happened to him.
As usual, you are not affected by my seal at all."
The person in front of him not only had an official position half a rank higher than his, but was also a special envoy sent by Fu Si in Dongzhen. Cao Xuan could not be disrespectful.
These are all the sequelae of the previous robbery in Jinyiwei Prison.
Dongzhen Fusi and Dongzhou Wanhu Office have lost trust in him.
The man in black robes raised his eyebrows with relief in his eyes: "Is it because of his physique? There is often one among five or six people. It is not surprising that if he is allowed to cultivate to the seventh or eighth level, he will not be able to escape the trap."
He then spoke in a cold voice: "Then what is so special about this person that deserves your attention?"
"As mentioned before, this person is in charge of the Thousand People Hall, and his strength can directly compete with the Long family in the inner city, or even surpass them. And based on my judgment, he may be able to conquer 6,000 Xishan Orions in the near future.
, the power has greatly increased. In the future, it is even possible to inherit the Iron Banner Gang and become the leader in water transportation in Dongzhou."
Cao Xuan explained attentively, with strange eyes: "In addition, he is closely related to the Nishen Banner. When Qin Muge's notes and maps were discovered, Chu Xisheng was at the scene. What is surprising is that not long after
After that, Xiang Kui and Wang Zhen, the two key figures at the time, both joined Xishan Hall and became Chu Xisheng's subordinates. As far as I know, recently all forces have undercover agents who have infiltrated Xishan Hall for unknown purposes.
In this battle in Xishan, Xishan Hall also exposed a master of the fifth-grade level, who silently killed six sixth-grades. In addition, the talent and martial arts displayed by this person were astonishing, and he had already entered Qingyun.
There is hope for the overall ranking. But more than half a year ago, his talent was mediocre. All in all, there are many mysteries hidden in this person."
The man in black robe looked clear.
The higher-ups have always been paying close attention to the Iron Banner Gang in Xiushui County.
But the key is still the Anti-God Flag——
As Cao Xuan said, this Chu Xisheng is indeed a key figure.
He looked at the tea cup left by Chu Xisheng, thoughtfully.
The man in black suddenly thought: "Do you think those hunters will surrender to Chu Xisheng in the near future?"
Cao Xuan didn't know what he meant, but he still replied respectfully: "Exactly! This man is very skillful. He should be able to overwhelm all the hunters in the Western Mountains within ten months."
The man in black smiled when he heard this, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
※※※※
After Chu Xisheng returned to Chu's house, he threw the "Nine Refining Ultimate Purple Gold Body" to Chu Yunyun.
He smiled suddenly: "That Lord Qianhu, it seems that he has to let me cultivate this golden body. This martial arts requires at least the official position of Baihu within the Jinyiwei, and a lot of meritorious deeds."
, but this time it was given to me for free."
Chu Yunyun flipped through the book and fell into deep thought: "The content this time is more complicated, give me six days."
Within six days, she was able to eliminate all limitations and hidden dangers of this technique.
She then looked at Chu Xisheng: "The more eager he is for you to achieve this skill, the more it shows that he attaches great importance to you. This person is careful and has a knife hidden in his smile. You must be careful and guard against it."
"How could I not know?"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xisheng's eyes, and then she stroked her forehead helplessly: "The problem is that I am a bit defenseless now."
This time he expanded Xishan Hall's gang to one thousand, and also recruited twenty eighth-grade masters.
——Most of them come from Zhengyang Martial Arts School.
The origins of most of them are questionable.
What's ridiculous is that not long ago, Chu Xisheng sold their names and doubts to Cao Xuan in exchange for merit.
Chu Xisheng thought that her Xishan Hall was almost turning into a ghost hall, full of undercover gangsters.
But he couldn't refuse yet.
These people came here under the guise of defecting to the same sect. If Chu Xisheng refused, it would be very damaging to her reputation.
Chu Xisheng had a headache because of this.
Who can believe that the number of seventh-grade masters in Xishan Hall now may exceed that of the Iron Banner Gang’s chief helmsman?
These people came in and out of Chu's house, seemingly inadvertently spying on everyone, making it impossible for the brothers and sisters to practice normally in the inner courtyard.
Only when Liu Ruoxi showed up to them in person could Chu Xisheng feel at ease.
The key is that the arrival of these people has also made his Xishan Hall a new storm outlet, pushing the two of them to the forefront of the storm.
Even Lu Luanli has become suspicious recently.
Lu Luanli recognized most of these undercover agents. What did they want?
Could it be that the clues to the flagpole of Nishen and the treasures of kings are also hidden in Xishan Hall?
So in the past few days, her black and white eyes were like searchlights, scanning all directions to see clearly.
What Chu Xisheng can only be thankful for is that the two siblings have already cultivated into the 'White Horse, Not a Horse'. Otherwise, I don't know what troubles it would cause now.
Today's Xishan Hall seems to be majestic, but in fact, there are internal and external troubles, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.
"That's right!" Chu Xisheng remembered something again: "Just now, the Linhai Zhou family sent me a message that the magic weapons left by Shen Yunxiang and Yue Wei had been sold on the overseas black market, and they were exchanged for 40,000 yuan.
Two thousand taels of magic silver.
Now we have more than 95,000 taels of cash in hand. After deducting the 30,000 taels of the two secret medicines that I will use to advance to the seventh level in the future, it will take two to practice the twenty 'four-turn golden body pills' of the 'Nine Refiners of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body'.
Wanba, you need 10,000 taels to practice your magic. For the remaining 27,000 taels, I want to buy you some battle pictures. Yunyun, what do you want?"
This is the benefit of him joining the Iron Banner Gang, opening an incense hall, and building his own power.
If it were any other errand, he didn't know how long it would take him to get such a large sum of money.
Even at several tax offices in Xiushui County, Chu Xisheng's monthly income of two thousand taels is the limit. Now he earns tens of thousands a month.
Chu Xisheng also left tens of thousands in debt in the hall, but he regarded the money as an investment and he did not plan to take it back yet.
The twenty-seven thousand taels in his hand can be exchanged for an excellent magic weapon or battle map.
After Qin Muge's 'death', all the totems of his secret moves were washed away.
Chu Xisheng has always remembered this matter.
"My battle map is not in a hurry." Chu Yunyun shook her head: "In my current state, the increase in ordinary battle maps for me is minimal, which is a complete waste of money. The battle maps that can strengthen my strength are at least one million taels.
To start, we can’t afford it now.”
Chu Xisheng's face suddenly stiffened.
After completing the canal, he thought he was already very rich and wealthy.
But at this moment, he realized his poverty again.
"Now there is a matter that is more urgent than my battle plan." Chu Yunyun's little face was solemn: "Just now, Lu Pingyuan came over to report that a change occurred in the county a day and a half ago. A supervisory censor came to Xiushui County in person on orders to
Jun Cheng Zuo Tianlu was dismissed from office.
This person even imprisoned the entire Zuo Tianlu family, young and old, on the five major charges of being affiliated with Zuo Qiandu Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, slandering the imperial court, falsely accusing ministers, infringing upon public property, embezzlement and perverting the law. This also included
Zuo Yameni, and within a few days, they will be sent to the capital for trial and questioning."
Chu Xisheng was shocked when he heard this, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.
He stood up so hastily that his clothes fluttered and rolled up, forcing the coffee table next to him to overturn.
"Slandering the imperial court and falsely accusing ministers? What's going on? I heard that Zuo Juncheng is in this county. Although he was ignored by the county governor, his relationship with the imperial court is still stable. His teacher was the former emperor's teacher and the emperor's teacher.
The minister of Qiandi."
Chu Yunyun's face was cold and her voice was solemn: "Lu Pingyuan said it was for the 'ten big coins' that the imperial court was about to issue. Zuo Tianlu, together with many colleagues, impeached the Minister of Household Affairs."
In fact, the emperor and the Ministry of Revenue had intended to issue these "ten big coins" as early as two years ago.
At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was in rebellion and attacked the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Chu Yunyun also wrote a letter at that time, clearly expressing her opposition to this matter.
She believed that even if the court was short of money, it should not exploit the people so unscrupulously.
So the emperor was forced to withdraw his decree, but kept his minister of household affairs.
Unexpectedly, after two years, the discussion of ‘being one of the top ten’ has returned with a vengeance.
Chu Xisheng frowned, then strode out without hesitation.
※※※※
Chu Xisheng still knows a lot about "being a big money man".
In his world, Wang Mang issued ten coins, Emperor Liang Yuan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties issued it, Emperor Wu of Zhou issued it, Suzong of the Tang Dynasty issued it, and Cai Jing also issued it.
The reason was that the imperial court was short of money, so it issued "ten big coins" to alleviate the financial crisis.
This is ten pieces of money, which is nothing in modern terms. It is nothing more than a slightly heavier copper coin that replaces the face value of ten cents.
Modern one yuan, two yuan, five yuan and one hundred yuan are not even metal currencies, they are just a piece of paper, there is no big difference.
But in ancient times, this was a political act of naked exploitation and squeezing the people.
The imperial court used copper coins that weighed slightly more than one penny to easily take away the wealth of ten penny.
This may not have any negative consequences at first, and may even be convenient for businessmen.
But in the future, there will definitely be a large number of stolen coins among the people.
The cost of stealing ten pennies is only slightly more than the cost of one penny, and the localities will definitely follow suit.
This principle is similar to modern counterfeit banknotes, mostly large denominations of one hundred and fifty dollars.
Few people would print counterfeit one-dollar bills because the cost and labor are not enough.
And once stolen money becomes popular in the world, it will bring a lot of negative consequences. For example, prices will skyrocket, people's wealth will shrink, etc.
In the end, the imperial court will also suffer the consequences, because those who want to obtain the offerings and utensils needed by the imperial court must buy them with money. If the goods become more and more expensive, and the money depreciates day by day, how can the finances not collapse?
The truth?
Only the merchants and powerful families will not be harmed. They will refuse to use the money and pass the crisis to the people and the court.
But now, Chu Xisheng doesn't bother to care about the dangers of "being a big money maker". He only cares about Zuo Qingyun.
This guy was imprisoned without incident. No news was leaked beforehand, and no news was given to him afterwards.
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but feel annoyed with Wu Meiniang.
This woman is Zuo Qingyun’s good friend, so why doesn’t she want to send him news? Does she still need him to pay for her?
Chu Xisheng rode the best horse in the stables in the hall and rushed to Xiushui County in just two seconds.
He went straight to the county government office, and then entered the county government prison under the leadership of a seven-pin red-robed head catcher.
Now, as the leader of Xishan Hall, he still has a good reputation and is willing to give up money.
So a new red-robed head catcher from Liumen simply agreed to help and arranged for him to meet Zuo Qingyun.
The prison of the county government is half buried underground. Only the first floor is on the surface, and the second, third and fourth floors are all underground. It is said that the foundation and four sides of the prison are made of basalt up to three feet thick and as strong as five feet.
It is difficult for a master of quality to escape from the underground.
When Chu Xisheng followed this man into the prison, passed through the narrow corridor, and reached the fourth floor through the layers of thick iron doors, he couldn't help but frown.
The air here is turbid and there is a foul smell lingering there.
Surprisingly, there are many guards here. In addition to the jailers, there are also many people wearing royal uniforms.
"They are all from Jinyiwei Tianya. They were brought here by the supervisory censor."
The red-clothed catcher whispered in Chu Xisheng's ear: "I gave them half of the money and asked them to accommodate you. However, Hall Master Chu still has to be careful and try not to offend them."
Chu Xisheng looked at these Tianya Jinyi guards thoughtfully.
The royal guards in this world are divided into three yamen: "Heaven", "Earth" and "Army".
The 'Tianya' directly controls the bodyguards and is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials. They do not have any local organization. In addition to a 30,000-strong Jinyi personal army, there are only 12 thousand households and 72 thousand households.
Patrol the world.
The ‘Military Office’ was established in the army, distributed within the county soldiers and border troops in various places, and was responsible for supervising all Daning troops and horses.
Chu Xisheng and Cao Xuan belong to the "diya", responsible for general inspections and arrests, and monitoring local forces.
The "Diya" is the largest in scale. They use the "Southeast, Northwest, Central" five major towns and Fusi to control several states. There are also Wanhusuo, Qianhusuo, Baihusuo, general banners, small banners, etc.
Wait, its tentacles have spread to every corner of Daning, with nearly one million people.
However, the one with the most authority is undoubtedly the ‘Tian Ya’.
The commander-in-chief of Tianya is also the most powerful, ranking at the top of the Tianban.
Chu Xisheng met Zuo Qingyun in a prison on the south side of the fourth floor.
Zuo Qingyun was in a very bad condition. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his clothes were disheveled, his beard and hair were messy, and his energy was very listless, looking depressed.
When he saw Chu Xisheng, he smiled bitterly: "You're here anyway. I don't want you to see me in such a miserable and miserable state."
Chu Xisheng didn't speak, he glanced around.
The smell here is very bad, it's chilly to the bone, and some of the straw in the corners has rotted due to moisture.
Outside the fence, there seemed to be traces of spilled food, and there was a bit of rancid smell.
Chu Xisheng glanced briefly, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Zuo Qingyun: "What happened? Why was he suddenly imprisoned? You don't treat me as a friend. You haven't made any noise for so many days.
Leak. As far as I know, the charges against Zuojun Chengan were very serious?"
He thought that these days, Zuo Qingyun's spirit was not guarding his home.
Chu Xisheng also asked about the reason, but Zuo Qingyun hesitated.
It now seems that Zuo Qingyun had predicted this result more than 20 days ago.
"My father is not stupid enough to impeach the Minister of Household Affairs. He has water in his head. The emperor is obviously determined to issue ten coins. How can he stop it? He will also bring trouble to my family."
Zuo Qingyun laughed out loud: "I can't tell this matter in advance. It's useless. It will make people worry in vain. But don't worry, the crime this time is quite serious, but my family still has many connections in the capital. My father's
Those colleagues are also working hard for my family. When the emperor loses his temper, the most he can do is to be relegated to serve as an official in the frontier."
Chu Xisheng looked at Zuo Qingyun up and down, looking dubious.
"Tsk! Do you think I'm not a good person? It's delicious and delicious here, and there's nothing wrong with me."
Zuo Qingyun opened his hands to indicate that he was fine, and then he shouted outside: "Zhang Baihu, please bring me some wine and meat. I want two roast geese and ten kilograms of braised pork opposite the Yamen. Get some more."
Wine, food, and the best rice wine.”
Just a moment after he opened his mouth, a middle-aged man wearing Baihu clothing walked outside the cell door. He glanced inside, frowned first, and then let out an inaudible hum.
As he waved his sleeves, someone hurriedly brought a dinner plate in soon after.
As expected, there was roast goose, braised pork, peanuts, soybeans, and rice wine on the plate.
"Look, I'm living a pretty good life here."
Zuo Qingyun saw that Chu Xisheng was still hesitant to speak, so he said cheerfully: "Chu Xisheng, if you treat me as a friend, stop talking nonsense and just drink and eat meat. In three days, we will
You will be escorted to the capital, and you will probably not see me again after you leave. This may be the last time you and I have a drink in Xiushui, ah! No, there is still a farewell, so you have to come over then."
Chu Xisheng frowned slightly, and silently filled up the drink handed over by Zuo Qingyun, and had a drink with Zuo Qingyun.
"That's right!" Zuo Qingyun drank a lot of wine, then picked up a roast goose and ate it like a wolf: "By the way, your land registration has been finalized. These people in the county are quite ruthless.
, but my father still managed to get three hundred hectares of land for you to farm. All the procedures have been completed, and the land registration book has been recorded. All you need to do is go to Mr. Li and get the land deed."
Chu Xisheng looked around at the silver and thought thoughtfully: "Your family doesn't use any silver in this prison? I will send some to the imperial guards in Tianya later."
"No need." Zuo Qingyun laughed dumbly, and then shook his head firmly: "Listen to me, it's useless for you to give me money. No matter how much you give, they won't treat me any better. If you don't give it, they won't dare to treat me.
How am I doing?"
Chu Xisheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Then I'll listen to you and I won't give it to you!"
He poured another bowl of wine for Zuo Qingyun: "Come and drink, you and I will stay drunk until today."
Unfortunately, the wine given by Jin Yiwei was too little. Chu Xisheng was still not drunk after all, but Zuo Qingyun was confused after drinking.
As soon as Chu Xisheng walked out of the county prison, his face was as cold as iron.
Chu Xisheng thought about Zuo Qingyun, a fool. Who did he think he could hide his current situation from?
At the same time, on the fourth floor of the county prison.
A member of the Jinyiwei family named Zhang walked to Zuo Qingyun's cell. He looked at Zuo Qingyun who was drunk on the ground with a bit of disgust, and then kicked away the empty dinner plate.
Then he stepped heavily on Zuo Qingyun's hand, causing Zuo Qingyun's face to suddenly twist and he let out a scream.
Zhang Baihu looked at him intently, his voice as cold as ice, as if spitting out from between his teeth: "You think I don't want others to see the truth, so I can do nothing about you, right? Zhang has a way not to hurt you.
Even the smallest amount can make you miserable. How dare you call me over? Do you think you are still the yamen of the Jun Cheng family?"
Zuo Qingyun opened his eyes and looked at this person intently, then spit out blood foam with a sound of "poof" and sprayed it on Zhang Baihu's face.
But then he was overwhelmed by an even stronger pain.
This chapter has been completed!
