Things turned out just as Su Wangting expected. After daybreak, the Weinan County government learned that the thieves were making trouble and immediately sent officers to investigate. On the one hand, they reported to Jing Zhaoyin and on the other hand, they went around to inquire whether any property of the wealthy families had been stolen.
At this time, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs told the Weinan County Magistrate that the thunder and lightning in the suburbs outside the city last night was because Mr. Changqing of Terma Palace took the initiative to eliminate thieves and bandits, and also handed over several bandits who were captured alive.
Weinan County Yamen saw that the Ministry of Internal Affairs personally intervened, and felt that the situation was unusual. They immediately tortured and extorted confessions. They learned that several groups of green forest thieves from other places had recently set their sights on the treasures gathered in Weinan. Among them, the upper reaches of the Han River were named Yun Yun.
Tingzhai is the most vicious and vicious, and has secretly occupied the Jinguang Temple in the southern suburbs.
The county government sent Pegasus to investigate, and later reported back that Jinguang Temple had been burned to the ground after a night of fire. There were dozens of charred corpses under the rubble, which were difficult to identify. However, the original number of monks in Jinguang Temple was incorrect, and there were also weapons left on the ground.
It should be the group of thieves from Yunting Village.
As for the cause of the fire in Jinguang Temple, nearby villagers have different opinions. Some say it was caused by lightning, while others say it was caused by the monks' improper use of fire. However, it is true that Jinguang Temple has been closed for many days to thank guests. It is thought that it was occupied by Yunting Village thieves.
Later external excuses.
The Weinan County Magistrate did not dare to be careless, so he visited Linlangyuan in person and found Mr. Changqing, who was temporarily living here. The other party took the initiative to admit that he had noticed a burglar offending him last night, so he tracked him out and found a group of thieves making a commotion and intending to invade Linlangyuan. p>
Mr. Changqing was entrusted by Su Wangting to ensure that Linlangyuan was not disturbed. He immediately took action to defeat the thief, but did not report it to the Weinan County Government in time.
When the Weinan County Magistrate heard about this, he was overjoyed that such a Taoist master took the initiative to deal with the bandits and eliminate the hidden instability in Weinan. How could he blame Mr. Changqing?
After hearing the news, Wang Yuanbao, the owner of Linlangyuan, also hurried over. After learning about it, he greatly praised Mr. Changqing and believed that it was thanks to Mr. Changqing's intervention that the treasure fighting meeting could be held as scheduled.
Just imagine, if thieves were allowed to break into Linlang Garden last night, not to mention whether they could steal property, but just caused a burning and killing fight, Linlang Garden might be burned to the ground. The tragic situation of Jinguang Temple is an example!<
/p>
Originally, wealthy people like Wang Yuanbao had monks and Taoists in their homes. In addition to asking them to give lectures on Buddhist scriptures and practices, it was mostly used to decorate their appearance.
Especially when it comes to dealing with nocturnal thieves, we usually don't bother these powerful monks and Taoists. Zhuang Dinghuyuan can handle the matter. If that doesn't work, we can ask a few well-known martial arts masters to sit in and scare away those gangsters.
Thieves.
Mr. Changqing, on the other hand, used simple methods to wipe out several gangs of thieves who had notorious reputations and were wanted by local officials, thus saving the Weinan County government and the four richest men from a huge worry.
Because King Qi is coming to Weinan in the near future, if the prince is frightened by the intrusion of thieves and bandits, the Weinan County Magistrate’s official career will be over. If even the treasure fighting event is hindered, the four richest people will have a hard time in the next year.
As for the matter of Wang Yuanbao and Su Wangting going to count the treasures in private, it is not enough for outsiders to explain.
In the next few days, Mr. Changqing was repeatedly invited to be a guest. The four richest families competed to provide him with gifts. The other three families knew that he was a guest of Wang Yuanbao's family, but they refused to give in. The BMW car he took for the trip was a good deal.
There are also brocade and silk shoes, the four treasures of the study, all of which are exquisite and valuable.
Wang Yuanbao, on the other hand, simply gave a three-entry house in Chongrenfang to Changqing, along with twenty maidservants.
Chang Qing is not a person who covets glory and wealth. He originally just wanted to socialize a little, but when he saw the four rich people offering more and more, he felt that he deserved it. He wanted to decline politely, but when the four rich people saw this, they became even more convinced that he
His conduct is noble and he even plans to have his nephews and nephews respect him as their teacher.
Now Changqing couldn't bear it anymore, so she could only seek help from Su Wangting, and in the name of organizing evil rituals, he left Changqing in Linlangyuan to save him from trivial chores.
"Changqing, didn't you say you want to be like the light? How come you are so afraid to avoid it when things happen?"
Although King Qi will come to Linlangyuan tomorrow, and Su Wangting should be the busiest at the moment, he still takes the time to talk to Changqing.
"That guy Guo Wanjin...actually asked his daughter to accompany him." Changqing couldn't bear it: "He said that his daughter had admired Dao since she was a child, and he hoped that I could give more advice. What does this person think? Do you really think that I don't understand it at all?" p>
Guo Wanjin is also one of the four richest men in Chang'an. He was born in poverty. He was illiterate and uneducated in his early years. Although he is now a wealthy man in Chang'an, his style is still shoddy and he directly asked his daughter to serve Changqing. This move is reasonable. p>
Su Wangting smiled and said: "With a promising young talent like you, anyone with a long-term vision will rush to make friends with you. It would be a great blessing to be your husband."
Chang Qing disagreed: "Men and women should be in love with each other. If they only come here for fame and fortune, when their fame and fortune are gone, they will no longer have any feelings for each other, and they will hate each other. What's more, these businessmen treat their children as if they are nothing."
It’s really shameful to sell goods at such a high price!”
Su Wangting had no choice but to apologize. Changqing suddenly realized that he had scolded the businessman and implicated Su Wangting. He immediately apologized and said: "I was the one who said something unintentionally. Please forgive me, my brother."
"Anyway, Changqing, you have a sincere heart, which is very rare. Unlike me, I have been wallowing in fame and fortune for many years, and I often don't mean what I say."
Su Wangting didn't care, but Changqing couldn't hide his shame and left. Full of dissatisfaction, he went to the side yard to look for Cheng Sanwu.
Changqing now only hopes to improve in swordsmanship so that he will not be unable to fight back against powerful enemies in the future. Senior Yingjun no longer shows up, so Changqing can only find Cheng Sanwu if he wants to practice martial arts.<
/p>
Quickly came to the side yard, Chang Qing came to the door of Cheng Sanwu's room and pushed it open.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cheng Sanwu lying on the bed, with his hands under the back of his head, and Afu lying on him, with a heavy body, supporting her forehead with her hands, taking off her feet and calves from her shoes.
Shaking alternately, the two looked intimate and loving.
As soon as Changqing opened the door, the two people on the bed looked at each other. His face froze, and then he closed the door with a bang and fled in a hurry.
"How dignified! What a decent figure!"
Hearing Changqing's low-pitched curse, Afu immediately laughed heartily and lay on Cheng Sanwu, trembling with joy.
At this moment, Cheng Sanwu looked at the bright flowers and snow in front of his eyes, and felt slender and fit. He could be said to be thin but not exposed, plump but not voluptuous, which made him feel quite comfortable. He asked: "Did you do this on purpose?" Hearing Changqing's footsteps, he immediately
Just press it up."
"What? You're not happy?" Afu had a smile in her eyes, her long fingers kept tapping and making circles on the man's broad chest, and her tone was subtle: "You really didn't react at all. Is it possible... you can't do it?
?"
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Sanwu said angrily: "If it wasn't too expensive, I would have visited all the brothels in Pingkangfang!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I know you are strong." Afu narrowed his eyes and asked: "Or do you want to try other ways of playing? Just like what I did with Du Jianzhang?"
Cheng Sanwu looked disgusted: "Forget it... It's not because of anything else, it's mainly because I really can't get excited when I see you, eldest sister."
"Who are you calling eldest sister?" Afu laughed angrily, and suddenly grabbed Cheng Sanwu's throat with her fingers.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Cheng Sanwu's face turned red and he slapped the opponent's wrist repeatedly: "Mother Yasha, you are the number one dominatrix in heaven!"
Afu snorted coldly, then put her hands away and stood up. Cheng Sanwu sat up from the bed, rubbed his neck, and muttered: "How many years have you lived? Doesn't calling you "big sister" make you look younger? Do you have to call me "old"?
Witch?"
"No matter what age a woman is, she always wants others to praise her for her youth and beauty." Afu is sitting on the other end of the bed. She is currently wearing a raven-green brocade pleated skirt with a bat cloud embroidery on the chest. It matches the door.
The snow-white fox furs on the hangers are like those noble ladies who are in charge of family affairs.
But at this moment, her right knee is bent, her left foot is half-crouched in front of her, her right arm is placed on her knee, and her left hand is supported by her side. She is sitting like a Bodhisattva. She is dignified and somewhat aloof. People who are not familiar with her will really notice.
Her age and temperament are not revealed.
"What? Are you fascinated?" Afu turned her face slightly, with a few locks of hair hanging down. Even if she didn't deliberately use the charm technique, she could still show a breathtaking beauty.
"You...the clothes are very nice." Cheng Sanwu said after being silent for a while.
Afu held her forehead and sighed: "After holding it in for a long time, this is all you said?"
"Otherwise? How can I praise you?" Cheng Sanwu seemed unwilling to accept it.
"I said, you don't have to pretend when we are alone." Afu said bluntly: "You are obviously very wise, but you have to pretend to be stupid, which is very annoying."
Cheng Sanwu said angrily: "I'm not pretending!"
"What's going on?"
Cheng Sanwu scratched his head and frowned: "Have you ever carried a burden?"
"No, I don't do that kind of hard work." Afu is used to pampering herself, and she takes it for granted.
Cheng Sanwu continued to explain: "Ordinary people carry a load of one to two hundred kilograms. Although they can walk, they can only walk. They can hardly spare the energy to do other things. This is probably the case for me."
"Then why can't we put down our burden?" Afu asked.
Cheng Sanwu thought for a moment and replied: "The burden is carrying a big, vicious and greedy black sheep. If the burden is put down, it is likely to break free from the rope, run rampant, and cause harm everywhere."
Ah Fu finally understood that Cheng Sanwu had been fighting against a certain terrifying existence, and the cost was not only physical strength, but also a heavy burden on the soul and mind.
"When you beat An Quti to death with three punches, did you rely on the power of that big black sheep?" Afu asked again.
Cheng Sanwu nodded silently, looking a little sad, obviously not happy to do this.
"Have you ever thought about how to deal with this big black sheep? The Ministry of Internal Affairs may be able to help you." Afu has a clever mind. She can see the deep self-hatred and ignorance hidden under Cheng Sanwu's boldness and recklessness.
Stupidity is his way of comforting himself, and intelligence may only bring him endless troubles.
Cheng Sanwu is not an unintelligent mediocre person, but if he really uses his wisdom, it will either be a horrific incident like the Heyang murder case, or the dangerous situation of Gui Yatou being kidnapped.
Perhaps in his eyes, whenever he uses his wisdom and scheming, something happens that he is extremely unwilling to face.
"I'm afraid that dealing with it is fake, but using it is real." Cheng Sanwu lay down again and said feebly: "I have never dealt with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I can still guess what you people think."
"Yes, I want to use you, there is no need to hide this." Afu held the couch with both hands and slowly crawled closer, like a bright and poisonous snake spitting out a message, silently approaching its prey.
Afu climbed onto Cheng Sanwu and looked into his eyes: "I need your strength."
"What are you going to do?" Cheng Sanwu asked.
"I have a powerful enemy that I can't deal with on my own." Afu's expression rarely showed a chilling look: "I joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs because I wanted to use the power of the Great Xia court to cultivate my own human skills and at the same time serve as a cover.
.But if I want to get rid of a powerful enemy, this is not enough. I need the absolute strength to make the final decision."
"So you have taken a fancy to me?" Cheng Sanwu then asked: "Where is that powerful enemy?"
"What? Are you planning to take action now?" Afu laughed.
"End it early to save you a long night of dreams." Cheng Sanwu said: "The powerful enemy that can make you so fearful is probably even more powerful than An Quti."
"That's natural." Afu's arms were slightly loosened, and he lay on Cheng Sanwu's body. He folded his hands to support his slender chin: "But I don't know where that person is now. He may be hiding, or maybe
Change your appearance and act secretly somewhere."
"That person... is also a Yaksha?" Cheng Sanwu asked.
"No." Afu pondered for a moment, as if considering the words, and wrinkled his nose slightly: "In the eyes of some people, he may be almost like an immortal."
"Immortal..." Cheng Sanwu argued: "I'm afraid this can't be solved with three punches. I'm afraid that if I put down the burden, I won't be able to pick it up again. Can I refuse?"
"Su Wangting sold you to me in order to save Gui Yatou." Afu stared closely at Cheng Sanwu, her blue eyes showing unquestionable determination: "And don't forget, you also asked me,
Now is the time for you to repay your kindness. Or is it that your promise is not worth mentioning and you can go back on it at any time?"
Cheng Sanwu looked at her without any resentment and said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you."
Afu was slightly surprised by the man's firmness. She originally thought Cheng Sanwu would have to bargain a bit, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily.
"You... are you thinking of dying together with my powerful enemy?" Afu asked.
"If he can, I would be very happy." Cheng Sanwu said frankly: "But again, if I die, the big black sheep will break free and run around."
"That is to say, you need to be able to control that big black sheep?" Afu's beautiful eyes turned: "What if I can help you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You have two sets of meridians in your body, one of which is hidden and not used on weekdays." Afu said with a smile: "I guess that if you can exercise it, it may make it easier for you to control that big black sheep, so that you won't have to deal with it in the future.
When facing an enemy, you can only throw out three punches."
