Chapter 5 Taking office (Part 1)

"Let's play around." Hou Xiaobai seemed to refuse, and Song Zheng looked at it with a secret smile. Xiu Zhijie had an ordinary appearance, so it's no wonder that Hou Xiaobai was lukewarm towards him.

Hou Xiaonian was afraid that Xiuzhijie would lose face, so he quickly said: "Let's go to Taiji Lake together..."

Xiu Zhijie tapped his fan on his palm: "I haven't gone to Tai Chi Lake yet, and I'm just about to go play, why don't we come together?" He looked at Hou Xiaobai expectantly, but the girl turned her face to the side and kicked her boots gently.

.

The middle-aged monk reminded him from behind: "Young Master, today we have to wait for Chen Baihu to receive him. This is crucial to our mission on this trip."

Xiuzhijie also became entangled. If things go wrong, his father will definitely break his legs when he goes back. But the person he admires in his heart is right in front of him, as if there is a little white cat scratching his heart. Finally he gritted his teeth and said: "

Uncle Fang, Chen Baihu has a lot of things to do, and he may not have time to see us today. I will go out with Miss Xiaobai first, and you guys will wait in the city. If Chen Baihu summons me, contact me immediately with the homophonic bone talisman, and I will fly back right away.

."

"This..." Uncle Fang, a middle-aged monk, hesitated for a while. But Xiuzhijie said eagerly to Hou Xiaonian: "Xiaonian, let's go. Miss Bai, what do you like to eat? Candied haws? Nian'er cake? Candy candy?

I'll buy it for you..."

"If you don't eat, you will gain weight." Hou Xiaobai refused lightly. Xiuzhijie felt bored and touched his nose pitifully.

Song Zheng followed him. He didn't care about joining someone else. Anyway, he just needed a cover. Hou Xiaonian smiled apologetically at him, and Song Zheng smiled and said it didn't matter.

After coming out of Huzhou City and walking for more than ten miles to the southwest, a vast expanse of water appeared in front of us. From a distance, we could see the mist steaming in the air, spiritual energy taking shape, and sometimes mythical beasts appearing. From time to time, there would be a line above the center of the lake.

The dragon-shaped spiritual mist condensed out, soared into the sky, and then in a burst of thunder, scattered into spiritual rain all over the sky, and fell back into the lake with a splash.

Xiuzhijie was very happy to be able to go out with Hou Xiaobai. He was trying to tease the girl along the way, but unfortunately Hou Xiaobai was never cool with him, which made Xiuzhijie very depressed.

When he got near Taiji Lake, he also saw that Miss Xiaobai seemed to have a good impression of the guy who was traveling with him. Only then did Xiuzhijie realize that he only had eyes for Hou Xiaobai and didn't even say hello to him.

After he quietly approached, Xiaonian asked: "Who is that guy?"

"Song Zheng? We met on the road. My little sister and he... got along quite well." Hou Xiaonian carefully selected his words, trying to make Xiuzhijie understand without overly attacking him.

Xiu Zhijie was unhappy. He himself was mediocre in appearance. One look at Song Zheng and he understood why Miss Xiaobai looked down on him. Song Zheng's appearance was already good. After his rebirth, his skin was healthy and smooth, and his temperament was sharpened due to many painful experiences.

As deep as the mountains, she has a calmness and calmness, which will attract the attention of the opposite sex unconsciously.

Xiuzhijie scratched his head and didn't know what to do. He knew that he couldn't blame Song Zheng for being lukewarm towards Hou Xiaobai; even if Song Zheng was really together with Hou Xiaobai, it was Hou Xiaobai's choice. She had this

that power.

"Alas" Xiuzhijie sighed quietly and fell behind a few steps, feeling sorry for himself.

Song Zheng arrived at Tai Chi Lake and took a deep breath. A stream of spiritual energy spiraled into his belly. He couldn't help but feel refreshed: "It's a good place. The energy of heaven and earth is rich."

However, Hou Xiaonian was still thinking about getting lucky. Seeing the crowds of tourists around him, a stone in a place like this might have been turned over seventy or eighty times. How could it be their turn? He urged again and again: "There is nothing interesting to see in a place like this."

, let’s choose some secluded place and take a look at the unique scenery.”

Xiuzhijie wanted to pursue Hou Xiaobai, of course he tried hard to please his brother-in-law and agreed repeatedly. Song Zheng had his own plan in mind and agreed. The four of them avoided the crowd and walked to a secluded place by the lake. On the way, Song Zheng asked: "Brother Zhijie, I

I heard that Humi allocates fixed allocations every year. Is there any extra share for you?"

Xiuzhijie was not wary and replied casually: "Of course not, we are just here to find a solution. That Chen Baihu is said to be a powerful figure in the Longyi Guard in the city and is qualified to speak in the distribution of Humi shares.

That’s why I went to meet you.”

Song Zheng asked again: "How are the lake rice, jade clay, and Tai Chi stones distributed?"

Xiuzhijie looked at him, and Song Zheng smiled and said: "I'm just curious, if it's not convenient to tell me, forget it."

"It's nothing inconvenient to say. You can ask elsewhere." Xiuzhijie said: "Tai Chi Stone is too precious. It is said that it will be taken away as soon as it appears.

Those really big shots, such as the powerful Zhenguo people and the Taikoo family, will inform Huzhou in advance. They will line up in order and whoever's turn it is will get it. It is said that they will buy it at the market price, but they don't know how much it will cost.

Humi and Yuni were led by Long Yiwei, and together with the Yihu, Shuangzong, Sanshijia, Bai family, Hongjia and other top forces in the city, they agreed on the next year's share in advance every year.

Once it's settled, it won't change.

It’s almost time to discuss next year’s share these days, so I’m here.”

He added another sentence: "If you also want to do these businesses, I advise you to forget it. Our family still has some connections, and we asked several powerful people to intercede, and Chen Baihu agreed to meet us.

And even though he agreed, he didn't know when he would be able to see her. Even if he did, it's unclear whether he would be able to accomplish this.

Alas, I don’t know if it will work out or not, the Yuan Yu has been spent like water, and I don’t know what my father thinks.”

He kept shaking his head, but he muttered the last sentence secretly.

Song Zheng smiled and said: "I don't do this business."

From Xiuzhijie's words, he roughly understood how the greatest benefits of Huzhou City were distributed every year. At the same time, he also understood that Long Yiwei was really at the top of the Hongwu Empire; they could also be in charge of such a thing.

He frowned subconsciously: Long Yiwei was so extravagant, but Bai Laoqi was dead... He felt more and more that this trip was dangerous and he couldn't be careless.

Hou Xiaonian comforted Xiuzhijie: "Although Yuan Yu spends a lot, once the matter is completed, it will be a huge profit." He stared at the ground tightly, and when he saw the stones on the roadside, he would go over and look at them, which made him confused.

Song Zheng couldn't help laughing.

As I was walking, someone suddenly shouted in front of me: "Where did you come from, you bastard? Don't you understand the rules of quarrying in Taiji Lake? Do you have a brand?"

Hou Xiaonian and others tensed up, as five monks wearing Longyi Guard uniforms came menacingly.

They may have some wealth, but if they face Long Yiwei, they will only end up with their family destroyed. Hou Xiaobai is a little unconvinced: "We are just curious and have never gone into the water to look for the Tai Chi Stone."

The leader, Long Yiwei, sneered: "You are monks and can penetrate your spiritual senses deep into the water. According to Huzhou's laws, searching for Tai Chi stones without the quarry's sign is a serious crime!"

Hou Xiaonian quickly grabbed his sister and said with a smile: "Master Cha, we are outsiders and we really don't know the rules. Please show your respect. It's just a small thing. Let's have tea..."

He pinched a few Yuan Yu and stuffed it into the Long Yi Guard, but unexpectedly the other party bumped it in his hand and said with a cruel smile: "With this little money, do we think our brothers are beggars?"

Song Zheng frowned. The reason why Long Yiwei was notorious was that these ordinary officers had the greatest "contribution".

Hou Xiaonian said helplessly: "Master Cha, tell me the number."

"For the four of you, one thousand yuan in jade each."

Hou Xiaonian defended: "It has nothing to do with the three of them..."

"Hey, it's relevant if I say it's relevant." He squinted at the four of them and sneered: "What, you're not convinced? Two thousand yuan in jade each! How about you want to try the hell of our Long Yiwei?"

Hou Xiaonian swallowed his anger. Eight thousand yuan in jade was not a small amount. It was also a huge sum of money for the Hou family. He only took a thousand yuan in jade with him when he went out. His father only gave so much for the sake of his precious daughter. If

He alone can only get three hundred at most.

Xiuzhijie gritted his teeth and came forward. He had money on him, but it was a bribe for Chen Baihu. Now he had to use it for emergency purposes. Not to mention naming Chen Baihu, he was not that stupid.

"Xiao Nian, let me do it..."

Song Zheng stretched out his hand, stopped the two of them, and asked the five people: "Do you want a brand? Is this brand enough?"

The five Long Yi guards thought they had seen it wrong and were about to curse. Suddenly they remembered what they had been told above. They felt weak and almost knelt down. Song Zheng cursed: "Get out!"

"Yes, little one, get out of here."

Hou Xiaonian and Xiuzhijie looked stunned, and the five Long Yi guards quickly ran away with their tails between their legs. The sign in Song Zheng's hand flashed away, and none of the three of them could see clearly what the sign was.

"Brother Song," Hou Xiaonian shouted subconsciously, wanting to ask but not daring to ask. Song Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, let's play with ourselves."

But obviously it can't be played.



The five Longyi guards fled far away, each wiped away cold sweat, and said in shock: "What do you mean, Lord Qianhu? Why don't you take office after you come to Huzhou City?"

"Hey, you idiots, haven't you noticed? Mr. Qianhu is playing a game of private visits on private servers. Is the target? Have you noticed the girl next to him?"

The other four people suddenly realized it. At their level, they could only imagine such a conclusion.

It's like an old farmer guessing what the emperor in the Forbidden City ate.

"Don't worry about this for now. The superiors sent down an order the day before yesterday, asking everyone to keep an eye on it. Now that you have discovered your Excellency, it is a credit to you to report it as soon as possible."



The four of them went back absentmindedly. Song Zheng glanced at the Yin Yang Shuiyan from a distance and felt that these two magical places were related to certain heavenly laws and indeed contained great secrets.

When entering the city, a carriage passed by and stopped about ten feet away. As soon as the window was opened, someone said: "Xiu Zhijie, it's really you."
