………………
The grain boat trudged along the Xiaodi River slowly. No one could have imagined that a killer would leave at such a snail's pace. He would either run all the way or hide in Linjing City without moving, but no one chose to crawl like this.
Hou Zi crawled away, so he was safe; after three days, he completely returned to his true self, and he would complete the next task assigned by Zheng Xing with his true identity.
If you want to repay a favor, you can't go there with your head covered.
The friend Yu Zhengxing mentioned was from Sanjiang Prefecture, which is very close to Fufeng City. Yu Zhengxing sent this mission to kill two birds with one stone, and it was also a reason for giving him a holiday to go home and visit.
It's a bit of a coincidence, but Anhe Country is a small country in the Splendid Continent. There are only five states in the country, so it is not surprising that it finally landed in Guangchuan Prefecture.
After three days, he couldn't stand the grinding process anymore. He abandoned the boat and went ashore, and got a bad horse. The speed was much faster. Compared with riding a boat, he still preferred riding a horse, which was under his own control and he could do whatever he wanted. Feel.
The scenery along the way has become more and more familiar. Even if he is as determined as he is, he can't help but be excited. He can't imagine what it would be like to return home after ten or more decades.
Maybe, instead of being indifferent?
A few days later, a majestic city appeared in his sight. Different from the custom of Shan State, all cities in Anhe had city walls, which was very spectacular.
Surrounded by the most familiar local accents, the most familiar clothes, the most familiar food culture, and the most familiar street architecture, he does not need to blend in. He is already a part of this environment.
The Wen Mansion is the premier mansion in Sanjiang Mansion; the Wen family is also one of the most wealthy families in the area. In this world, any wealthy family is almost without exception related to cultivation. Without the support of cultivators in the family, you cannot become a wealthy family.
The biggest background of the Wen clan is the clan's great uncle Wen Jinglai, who was born in Anhe Taoist sect, reached Tongxuan level, and was also a very powerful monk. However, this big tree fell down a few months ago. It also plunged the entire Wen family into panic.
Wen Jinglai's death was due to an internal dispute between the Taoist sect, that is, the dispute between the Anhe Taoist sect and the Wu Guo Taoist sect in the south. If the Anhe Taoist sect still pays attention to the Quanzhen sect, this Wu Guo Taoist sect is a giant. He has no tyranny. He is said to be the Wu sect, but in fact he has controlled several Taoist sects in small countries. This time he wants to attack the Anhe Taoist sect and take it for his own use.
In any school, internal strife is always cruel. It may not be as publicized as it is externally, but in private, it excludes dissidents and fights against dissidents, which is merciless at all.
It sounds nice to say that in troubled times, unity, working together, and supporting each other is the norm. But if you hold on, the door will disappear.
Wen Jing was a figure who advocated independence in the Anhe Taoist sect. Of course, there was also a faction that supported the merger, and they were entangled with each other. From the beginning, the majority of people supported independence, but now they are alone.
This is also the reason why Anhe Taoist Sect has established a good relationship with the Quanzhen Sect in recent years. As a small Taoist sect in a small country, how can they have the strength to face attacks from both front and rear, internal and external difficulties?
No one could explain the specific reason for what happened, and Hou Zi didn't care; the struggle between these forces was beyond his current small shoulders.
His goal is very simple, to find the Wen clan and send Yu Zhengxing's heart to him, that's all.
We quickly found the Wen Mansion. From the outside, we couldn't tell much about it. It was a huge house and the water inside was very deep.
He didn't go in rashly. He knew that Yu Zhengxing's intention in sending him was not just to be a good boy; the building was about to collapse, the pillar of a family fell, and the rules that maintained the family's operation would inevitably be affected. If there was no strong force,
If a family member is in a power vacuum, all kinds of conflicts and abominations accumulated over decades or hundreds of years will burst out in a concentrated manner, or they will fall apart.
Branches and direct branches, all kinds of dogs biting dogs, and people doing tricks to harm others are the thresholds that a family must go through if it wants to be prosperous. If it passes, it will become more prosperous; if it cannot be passed, the Wen family will become the history of Sanjiang Prefecture, and in time
In the passage of time, the glory of the past is lost and forgotten.
What Yu Zhengxing meant was to help Wen find another family backbone, help him get on his horse, and give him a ride. Well, it probably wouldn't be far, as he himself still had a lot of troubles to deal with.
As for the wealth and resources in the treasure gourd, it would be a bad idea to divide them equally; if he takes the lead, the people behind him will be able to make a fool of themselves.
To achieve this, it is necessary to accurately understand the specific situation within the Wen clan.
After leaving Wen Mansion, it was still too quiet here. There were only people with status coming and going, and there was no suitable person to ask. After turning two streets, it suddenly became lively, bustling, with people surging and rubbing shoulders; various shops, wine shops,
Row after row.
Wandering around the street, I set my sights on a middle-aged man with a wretched figure, a deer-like head and rat-like eyebrows. In just a short moment, this guy had already entered two shops, ate for free, and threatened someone.
A foreign scholar extorted a small amount of money and muttered on the street corner with a few gangsters about the street green leather, which is abundant in the local area, fighting, stealing sheep, collecting insurance premiums, and doing things in peace.
Smiling slightly, he walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulders, "Agua, why are you here?"
Qingpi was startled. He didn't know this man at all, and his name wasn't Agua. But this man had a strong figure. Although he was not a big man with a big back and a heavy back, he had a fierce feeling about him.
Lifting is a basic skill, so if you struggle to break away, you will no longer struggle. Instead, you will lower your eyebrows and say:
"Brother, why are you looking at the stranger? I'm not Agua. I'm afraid I've recognized the wrong person. But if brother is in trouble, I'm bound to do it!"
I felt that this guy had secretly put one of his hands into his arms. Hou Tzu had already twisted Qingpi's two hands behind his back, and a finger band held his two thumbs together.
"I said you are Agua, and you are Agua! Why, take a step to speak?"
Qingpi was horrified. He was not very familiar with this method of restraining people. It was the method used by public servants to control disobedient criminals. This was still the beginning. The next methods would be even more cruel. One person could not handle it with two hands.
It can all be ruined for you.
He hurriedly begged for mercy, "This class leader is so noble. I have paid enough for this month's payment. If you are not satisfied, I will give you another separate payment?"
Hou Tzu covered up the crooked coat he was wearing, and in the eyes of others, they looked at each other with their arms around each other, and one of them had his clothes half hanging off. This was his old profession, and he was in the criminal justice industry.
This set of tricks is so familiar that it can easily take someone away from the public without others noticing.
He took Qingpi to a quieter open-air tea shop, took off his finger cuffs, put him on a chair, and sat down in a row, with one hand still on his shoulder.
"I don't want your confession, I will give it to you!"
