Chapter 349: Antiquity (1)
Sun Changming secretly said that the imperial examinations in history were somewhat similar to those in his previous life. Wang Tianli found that the master had made up his mind and did not want to stay. He walked out and said: "I will go back first. Refining those large magic weapons cannot be done without me.
"If you have any new ideas, please remember the hard work of our old guys and share them with us first."
Sun Changming sent him out, and the old man couldn't wait to leave with his legs and feet that were even more agile than the young man - Sun Changming probably understood the mentality of these technical house masters: to explore new technologies, that is worthy of respect, Mr. Sun; to ask Long
Snake list, that is Mr. Sun who is not doing his job properly.
When Mr. Sun turned back, he happened to see Ayu coming back at a snail's pace. With a full body of evil aura, he came to him and clasped his fists forcefully: "My lord, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate!"
Sun Changming communicated with him with his eyes, and after understanding something, he asked: "What's wrong with those two?"
Ayu gritted his teeth and said: "One of them alarmed the local Chaotian Division. The Baihu led people to chase the subordinate for three hundred miles. The subordinate could only kill her and scatter her soul!"
Sun Changming smiled coldly: "There must be something behind these people, and each of them is a big case! You first investigate within our jurisdiction, and you can't let go of a human scum!"
Every Dandelion puppet may collude with other people around him and use various means to make these people provide convenience for him. And those who have received the benefits and turned a blind eye may not know that there is something wrong with these puppets.
.
Sun Changming hated these "traitors" who took refuge in monsters, and naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Ayu agreed, but was worried: "The one I killed on the spot was involved with the Zhongjing Zhenfu Division, and I am worried that there will be some trouble."
Sun Changming thought for a while and said: "What you reminded me is reasonable. I'm afraid they will go directly to Mr. Liu Zhi. Your Excellency is currently involved in military affairs, and we can't cause trouble to you.
I will communicate this matter with the adults in advance. If there is anything going on in the prison, let them come to me!"
Then, Sun Changming asked again: "Has Zeng Yuanxiu of the Wuyu County branch of Guangqingtang been caught?"
"Caught it." Ayu said, "I know your Excellency is concerned. I have already interrogated you on the way. Here is the confession." Sun Changming took it and looked at it. As he expected, Zeng Yuanxiu involved many people, including Guang Qing.
Both inside the hall and outside.
Sun Changming called Yun Fan over: "The reply to the General Secretary's Yamen will be sent out immediately. Use the magic talisman to expedite it." Yun Fan agreed and then asked: "Sir, do you want to notify them at the branch office in Wuyu County?
"
Sun Changming smiled coldly: "No need, Ayu has arrested Zeng Yuanxiu, Zheng Yunqiang will come back to find me soon."
Zeng Yuanxiu is the branch officer of Wuyu County and the second stall in the back hall. He is a well-known figure in the branch office of Wuyu County - he is responsible for purchasing the elixirs from the herb collectors. Good or bad, and the price is all decided by him.
between.
He was drawn into the group by a puppet herb collector. At that time, he was just a boy in the back office. He found an opportunity to enter the Tongcoff Gorge in person and joined Dandelion. He soon made rapid progress and reached the position of second gear.
Sure enough, less than two hours after Ayu returned, Zheng Yunqiang once again found the Wangyunya Hundred Household Residence Hall aggressively. He was stopped by the school captains at the door. Zheng Yunqiang pointed at the top of the Baihu Residence Hall and shouted loudly: "Sun Changming, you
Don’t be ignorant of good and evil!”
Sun Changming ignored him. In fact, after Ayu came back, he read Zeng Yuanxiu's confession and immediately sent people secretly to arrest all other relevant personnel in Zeng Yuanxiu's case.
A-Yu only captured puppets, relying on his powerful strength and quickness to not let anyone go. But for other related personnel, A-Yu couldn't take care of them by himself, so others took care of them.
In Zeng Yuanxiu's case, most of the relevant suspects were in Wuyu County. If Zheng Yunqiang was still in Wuyu County, his successful arrest would be hindered by Zheng Yunqiang. But Sun Changming was sure that Zheng Yunqiang would come to find him - Zheng Yunqiang came to Wangyunyabai.
At the household office, the captains who arrested other suspects rushed to Wuyu County.
Zheng Yunqiang made a fuss under Wangyunya Baihu House, but Sun Changming never showed up. He thought that Sun Changming did not dare to see him, so he angrily went to live temporarily in a nearby market, and then reported to the main office again.
The next day, Mr. Sun sent people to Wuyu County and successfully arrested all the suspects and brought them back to Wangyunya. Sun Changming immediately ordered people to interrogate them.
Zheng Yunqiang went to Baihusuo again in the morning to make a fuss, and then returned to his residence in the market angrily. At noon, he suddenly received a message from the main number: Come to the door to apologize, and declare to Mengjiang Dusi that I
Guangqingtang must abide by the law and fully cooperate with Mengjiang Dusi’s investigation!
Also: I hinted to Mr. Sun Changming that I, Guangqingtang, would express some personal feelings towards him.
Zheng Yunqiang was stunned for a moment, what happened?!
He knew that the headquarters had used connections last time and warned Sun Changming through the Chaotian Division’s Yamen. Why did he suddenly relent?
There must be some changes that he doesn't know about. But since the general manager has given in, how can he, a small shop owner, still have the confidence to resist?
He hurriedly came to Baihu's house, and his aggressive attitude changed drastically from the previous two times. He apologized with a smile, and stuffed a lot of spiritual jade into the school captains guarding the door: "Please give me a message, Mr. Bingsun,
Just say that Zheng Yunqiang came to apologize."
The captains were finally proud, but they all put on airs and stuffed the spirit jade back: "Shopkeeper Zheng is a very important person, you are the one who can block our Wangyunya gate and curse!
We, the little soldiers, don’t dare to take advantage of your benefits, so you’d better take them back as soon as possible. If Lord Sun takes advantage of you, we will be implicated!”
Are you pretending to be a grandson now? It's too late! Where's the majesty of the past few days? Are you scared? Haha.
Zheng Yunqiang secretly complained, and he ruthlessly took out a few more high-level elixirs and stuffed them at him: "I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to inform Mr. Sun. I will give you a generous reward in the future."
The captains still refused to accept it, and were pushing Yun Fan to come out. They glared at the captains and cursed: "My lord, I told you that shopkeeper Zheng gave it to you, so just keep it. The third-level elixir.
, if you take it, you will be able to improve to a great level. Are you stupid, not wanting such benefits?"
The captains shrank their necks, and Yun Fan added another sentence: "These are your true words."
The captains quickly collected them, but there was no need to communicate. Yunfan waved directly to Zheng Yunqiang: "Come in." Zheng Yunqiang quickly picked up another bottle of fourth-level elixir and forced it to Yunfan. Yunfan hehe
Smile and put it in your arms with peace of mind.
Zheng Yunqiang finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and things were not out of control. On the way in, Zheng Yunqiang smiled and asked in a low voice: "Master Yun, can you tell me what is going on? I Guang
Qingtang will surely be richly rewarded."
Yun Fan glanced at him sideways: "You'll know when you get in." Zheng Yunqiang felt unsure again.
Sun Changming sat solemnly in his study. Zheng Yunqiang came forward and bowed to him: "Sinners, please see the commander."
Sun Changming didn't waste any time. He threw the case files of Lei Shihu and Zeng Yuanxiu in front of him and said coldly: "Read it yourself."
Zheng Yunqiang opened it and looked more and more frightened. His hands were shaking, and then he kowtowed heavily: "Please believe me, Guangqingtang, I have no knowledge of this matter!"
Zheng Yunqiang immediately understood why the head office suddenly became timid.
Guangqingtang has a very deep background, and it spends a lot of money and treasures every year to maintain this "background". However, Guangqingtang's background is also to protect the company from doing business and making money, not to protect a few employees who have committed serious crimes.
.
Including him, Zheng Yunqiang, sitting in the position of Semicolon shopkeeper is not to let you dominate, but to make you make money for the company. If you can do this, you are the famous Semicolon shopkeeper.
It's bullshit if it doesn't reach you.
Therefore, as soon as the case broke out, Guangqingtang would not think of using the court's connections to suppress Sun Changming, but would immediately compromise with Sun Changming to minimize the loss.
Of course, if Sun Changming insists on not letting go, he will still use whatever means he should use.
Sun Changming snorted coldly: "If this were not the case, do you think your Wuyu County semicolon would still exist?"
Zheng Yunqiang broke into a cold sweat and expressed his position again: "Please rest assured, sir, everyone in Guangqing Hall will fully cooperate with your investigation. I am ignorant of the truth and have been deceived by traitors. I have offended you a lot in the past few days. Please forgive me. Why don't you make a fool of me?"
"
Sun Changming interrupted him: "No need, I am very busy with official duties recently."
Zheng Yunqiang said hurriedly: "Your Excellency has worked hard for the people up and down the Mengjiang River and guarded the Tongcoff Gorge Destruction Territory. It is really a great achievement for your hard work! I, Guangqingtang, deeply admire your character. Although our Guangqingtang is a merchant, we are also loyal and responsible.
.The headquarters has given me an order to donate a sum of money to Mengjiang Dusi to help the master improve the defense line of Mengjiang."
Sun Changming snorted secretly, I guess you guys know each other!
"Donation is not necessary, but I have sent someone to discuss with you before about borrowing money from the bank account."
Zheng Yunqiang secretly complained, but did not dare to disagree: "Don't worry, sir, we will start the next step of negotiations immediately."
Sun Changming nodded: "Okay, you can rest assured that I will handle the case impartially and no innocent people will be involved."
Zheng Yunqiang breathed a long sigh of relief, kowtowed and said goodbye.
After coming out, Zheng Yunqiang hurriedly contacted the main office, and then followed the instructions, took out twelve Yunsha beads from the semi-colonial warehouse and put them in his arms, and came to visit Sun Changming again that night.
"What we discussed during the day was official business, but I have offended your lord in the past few days, and I am really uneasy. I would like to give you a small gift as an apology, and please accept it with your smile."
Sun Changming looked at Yun Shazhu and chuckled: "You Guangqingtang are indeed well-informed. You actually know that I have reached the Dinxia Realm and am in urgent need of rare treasures from heaven and earth. No wonder your business has become so big."
Zheng Yunqiang was secretly surprised that he was actually in the fifth realm! How old is he?
Over at the headquarters, they also synthesized various intelligence and analyzed and concluded that Sun Changming might be about to break through the realm. This Yunsha Pearl is a precious treasure of heaven and earth. It is an urgent need for the strong men in the Dinxia Realm. Only then did they choose it.
Got this as a gift.
Unexpectedly, he was not "about to" break through the realm, but had already been promoted to the fifth realm!
But what surprised Zheng Yunqiang was that Sun Changming actually returned the Yunsha Pearl: "The current market price of twelve Yunsha Pearls is 4.8 million spiritual jade. You can collect the whole 5 million and donate it to Mengjiangdu.
Secretary is ready."
"Ah? This" Zheng Yunqiang couldn't figure out what Sun Changming meant.
Sun Changming said calmly: "This time, I have been dealing with business affairs from the beginning, and I have never thought of taking advantage of your Guangqingtang.
When Mengjiang Dusi was founded, your Guangqingtang donated 1.5 million spiritual jade. I will keep this favor in mind. If I accept your Yunsha Pearl, it will appear that I have selfish motives."
Zheng Yunqiang still persuaded: "This is your apology gift. We can donate another sum of money to Meng Jiang Dusi."
Sun Changming waved his hand: "No need, let's handle it like this."
Zheng Yunqiang had no choice but to come out again with the Yunsha Pearl in his arms. He stood blankly outside Sun Changming's door for a while, but he still couldn't understand Sun Changming's personality, so he had to smile bitterly and leave.
But those five million spiritual jade must be donated.
When the head office learned about this situation, they were also very surprised. In this era, all officials were taking public money into their own bowls. This was the first time that someone who gave a gift to a private person was asked to confiscate the public account.
But since Sun Changming insisted on this, the headquarters also instructed Zheng Yunqiang: handle it this way for the time being, and then act as the opportunity arises.
Sun Changming rejected the Yunsha Pearl and sent Zheng Yunqiang away, but he was also thinking about his own problem in the Dinxia Realm.
The primary reason why he rejected the twelve Yunsha Pearls was indeed what he said to Zheng Yunqiang, but it was not that simple.
The Yunsha Pearl is indeed a remarkable rare treasure of heaven and earth. It was condensed by a sixth-level cultivator who collected the evil spirits in the nine auspicious clouds. Among the rare treasures of heaven and earth that can be taken in the Dinxia Realm, it is considered to be very outstanding, and it has swallowed this
After planting exotic treasures, you can gain the ability to "walk in the clouds", and your flying speed is faster than other Xiaxia monks; you have a strong amplification advantage in water and light attribute magic.
But Sun Changming still looked down upon him.
In terms of cultivation, Sun Changming is very confident. I have a second brother, so there is nothing to worry about. In the Dinxia realm, one must take the top-notch rare treasures from heaven and earth.
Another reason is that Sun Changming actually does not want to get involved in personal relationships with Guangqingtang.
Sun Changming knew very well that he was marked by Lu Guangxiao and Liu Zhi; and Guangqingtang's background was too complicated, and among their backers there were many political opponents of Lu and Liu.
It doesn't matter if they meet on official business, but in personal terms Sun Changming is respectful and grateful.
But without the Yunsha Pearl, Sun Changming could not complete the "meal". In the battle for the Dragon and Snake List in the capital, many hidden methods may not be used. Sun Changming would not dare to be a hero in the world with just his cultivation in the Dinxia Realm.
I think this is enough.
He took off the sixth gourd from his waist, reached in and patted the second gourd on the forehead: Have you finished digesting it?
The second child was still a little confused. He didn't know why the elder brother came to him suddenly. Sun Changming explained his intention. The little loach thought for a while and then said to the elder brother: Why is the elder brother troubled?
Sun Changming couldn't hold it back: I've been talking about the rare treasures of heaven and earth for a long time. How can I be promoted without the rare treasures of heaven and earth? Are you listening to me?
Little Loach then said, Brother, you have misunderstood me. I mean, the top-notch rare treasures of heaven and earth are right in front of you. Why is Brother still worried about these things?
Right in front of him? Sun Changming was a little confused and looked around. Among the hundreds of empty houses, how could there be any treasures in the world?
Little Loach further explained: Fenqiu. The "ancient spirit" of Fenqiu is the top rare treasure of heaven and earth.
"Ancient style?" Sun Changming recalled Fenqiu, but he really couldn't remember seeing such a thing in Fenqiu.
The second brother said: The eldest brother was too weak at that time, so he naturally turned a blind eye. You will understand if you look at it now.
Sun Changming was still a little confused at first. If there was such a top-notch rare treasure, why didn't any monks come to collect it? But he soon understood that the monks did not dare to enter Juehu Village, so naturally this treasure was not known to outsiders.
.
"I'll go back and have a look tomorrow."
The next day, Sun Changming put down the Dandelion case and continued the investigation with his lieutenants. He left Wangyunya alone and headed for the village.
According to the second brother, rare treasures like "Ancient Qi" can only be seen at night, so he first went back to the village to visit Master Bao and the others.
Brother Mantou saw him and jumped up excitedly: "Great, A Ming, you are here, tell me what to do next, I think I seem to have encountered the bottleneck of practice you mentioned.
.”
Sun Changming also smiled and said: "Let me see quickly." He grabbed Brother Mantou's wrist and slowly transferred the spiritual energy. After a moment, Sun Changming showed a strange expression. It was time to think about it and change it for Brother Mantou.
It’s a skill.
The last time I went back to the village to visit everyone, Brother Mantou's realm was about the spiritual body realm and the aura level, but he was very suitable for practicing the Destiny Armor Technique. His attainments in this magical art could reach the power of the second realm.
Come this time, Brother Mantou is already at the peak of the first realm, and he is stuck here and cannot break through. However, the destiny armor technique breaks through again, and its power is comparable to the strength of the third realm.
In fact, Brother Mantou didn't encounter a bottleneck, but the martial arts he majored in were incompatible with the divine arts.
The skills are just Chaotiansi's ordinary skills. What Brother Mantou needs to do at this stage is to accumulate, and then make a breakthrough through accumulated accumulation before he can enter the second realm of burning.
However, the destiny armor technique has progressed too fast and has been hindered by the realm. It is currently stuck here and cannot progress. Moreover, it is somewhat unstable to control the powerful magic of the third realm at the level of the first realm. Naturally, Mantou
I felt uncomfortable in various ways and thought I had encountered a bottleneck.
Moreover, Sun Changming also made an unexpected discovery. The cold feeling in Brother Mantou's body, which came from the evil spirit of the village, had not increased during this period of time. It seemed that the elixir he gave them last time had an effect, and it did not get better.
It did not continue to get worse.
Sun Changming pondered for a moment and decided to solve the problem before Brother Mantou first. He took out a few elixirs, carefully selected them, and found a second-level elixir. The effect was not the strongest, but it would not have any effect.
side effect.
"If you eat this elixir, you can break through to the Burning Light Realm."
Brother Mantou was overjoyed: "Is it that simple?"
Sun Changming smiled again and said: "It's really that simple."
Brother Mantou took it, looked at it, swallowed it in one gulp, and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate. Sun Changming quietly came out, closed the door, and protected him outside. Fourth Uncle Yao and Fifth Master Bao looked at him, and Sun Changming nodded and said, "Don't worry.
Let me take care of him and nothing will happen to him."
He took out the wine and food from the storage bag, ate and drank with Fourth Uncle Yao and Fifth Master Bao, and then got them drunk easily.
Then Sun Changming used his spiritual energy to check the bodies of the two of them, and found that their condition was worse than that of Brother Mantou. It was still getting worse, but it seemed that the speed had also slowed down.
"The elixir should have some effect, but it can only delay it, not cure it."
"And Brother Mantou has the best effect, mostly because he has already embarked on the path of spiritual practice and is stronger."
In any case, I finally saw some hope and gave Sun Changming some encouragement.
When the sun was about to go down, Brother Mantou succeeded in breaking through. He opened the door and walked out, his face glowing red. He moved his body and said to Sun Changming: "It's really different. The awkward feeling before is gone."
null!"
Sun Changming asked him to sit down and said to him: "During this period, you should stop practicing the Destiny Armor Technique. This magical technique is too far ahead of your own realm.
Just wait a moment, and I will find a more suitable natal skill for you."
Speaking of this, Sun Changming remembered another detail: "How did you practice the destiny armor technique?"
The method of practicing this magical art is to continuously swallow various treasure materials with strong defensive power and refine them into oneself. It is said that Brother Mantou had to swallow the treasure materials of third-level monsters before he could cultivate the destiny armor technique to this level.
, but his realm is low and it is impossible to hunt third-level monsters.
Brother Mantou slapped his thigh and said: "Actually, it's just one, don't be picky about food. I eat everything. Ever since I practiced this magical skill, I want to taste everything I see in and outside the village, even a piece of dead wood.
I'll take a bite of a piece of loess first to see if it helps.
If there is no progress, forget it. If it is beneficial, keep eating. Every time your belly feels full, start practicing this magic right away and continue eating after digestion."
Sun Changming is speechless, not picky about food, and has balanced nutrition, so does he grow quickly?
That is to say, it is unclear what Brother Mantou ate to practice the Destiny Armor to this point. He secretly smiled bitterly and stopped worrying about this issue.
"It's still the same elixir as last time. You continue to take it." He left the newly refined elixir behind, stood up and patted his clothes: "I'm leaving, take care of yourself. I'll take a look when I find a new technique.
you."
"Okay, you are a person who does big things, so you don't have to worry about us all day long. The village is doing well, at least it's much better than before." Brother Mantou was quite content and said goodbye to A Ming with a grin.
Sun Changming came out of the village, but did not go to Fenqiu behind the village. Instead, he flew up in the air and found a tall tree in front of the village. He caught a cicada on the treetop and rubbed one out with his fingers.
He planted the spiritual seeds, raised his hand to release the cicadas, and then went to the back of the village.
He still didn't dare to set foot in Fenqiu's area easily, so he found a big tree on the edge and hid among the branches and leaves.
It was getting dark, and there was deathly silence inside and outside the village. No living thing dared to wander outside at this time.
The cicada flew higher and higher, and through its eyes, Sun Changming saw everything inside and outside the village. This was extremely dangerous, but Sun Changming was particularly curious: Where did the giant beasts rushing to Fenqiu come from?
Chapter completed!
