Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty The Ten Directions Can't Stop the Style
Xu Zhiqiong defeated La Gugang.
To end this duel, the rules set in advance must be met, either one party dies or the other party surrenders.
The Tunu people have such a strong character that they naturally choose to surrender.
La Gugang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Zhiqiong, promising never to set foot in Yongzhou again. The other judges were also trustworthy and left Yongzhou that day.
Although he won the duel, this battle was too lucky. If Xu Zhiqiong and La Gugang were to fight again, La Gugang might not lose.
During this period of time, there were always trivial matters, but Xu Zhiqiong forgot one serious thing. He had not been to the Punishment Department for a long time.
Sixth grade Sheng's rashness, Master fell into a deep sleep without saying anything.
Xu Zhiqiong doesn't even know the basic attributes of the sixth level, and he hasn't been able to master the sixth level skills so far.
Go to the Punishment Department, exchange merit with the lady, ask about the skills of the sixth grade, and give the lady a good hug. Why do you always forget such a refreshing thing?
I have accumulated more than 300 merit points, and I am almost at the sixth level. How can I forget such an important thing?
No matter how big the matter is today, I have to go to the Punishment Department and see who can stop me.
Xu Zhiqiong was just about to find a secluded place to set off, but was stopped by Zhou Qinglin: "Xu Zhonglang, please invite Shi, the director of the Punishment Department."
This is really strange. I want to go to the Punishment Department, and Shi, the director of the Punishment Department, comes to invite me?
I haven't even met Shi, the director of the Punishment Department, why would he invite me?
"Which punishment department chief Shi?"
Zhou Qinglin said: "We will punish the evil director Shi, Li Muliang, and Li Changshi!"
"Isn't he unconscious?"
"Wake up! Just woke up!" Zhou Qinglin said with joy on his face, "As soon as I heard that you defeated Judge Tunu, our chief officer woke up immediately."
What a coincidence!
Xu Zhiqiong knew why he had been putting off changing his merits. Whenever he thought about changing his merits, there were always some trivial things that would trip him up.
The head of the Punishment Department, Shi Naifang, needs to be given this face, and the opportunity is rare, so he really should go and see what other Punishment Departments are like.
Xu Zhiqiong learned the key to open the door from Zhou Qinglin. He used his left foot as a pivot to turn five times, and his right foot as a pivot to turn one and a half times. Then he came to the Yonglu Punishment Division.
This was the first time Xu Zhiqiong came to the Evil Punishment Department outside the capital, and it was also the first time he discovered the differences between the Evil Punishment Department.
The Yonglu Punishment Department is smaller than the Jingcheng Punishment Department, much smaller.
The scale of the punishment department in the capital is comparable to that of the imperial palace, while the size of the Yonglu punishment department is comparable to that of the prefect's yamen.
Not only is the area smaller, but the buildings are also much lower. The only thing that remains unchanged is the thick fog that envelopes the Punishment Division.
Zhou Qinglin took Xu Zhiqiong to Chang Shi's Mansion.
The scale of Chang Shi's Mansion was larger than that of Xu Zhiqiong's Zhonglang Courtyard, with five in and five out. When they arrived at the main courtyard in the middle, Zhou Qinglin led Xu Zhiqiong to Chang Shi's bedroom. No communication was needed, and Li Muliang directly asked Xu Zhiqiong to
Came to the bedside.
Li Muliang wears a mask, with a tall figure and a lush beard that almost covers his entire lower jaw. Looking at the outline, he is somewhat similar to Zhang Fei in Xu Zhiqiong's mind.
His voice was rough and low, but somewhat lacking in energy: "Xu Zhonglang, thank you for preserving the livelihood of the judges in Yongzhou."
"We are all in the same camp, but what Chang Shi said is out of context."
Li Muliang sighed: "Tonu is gone now, I'm afraid he will come again in a few days."
"They made a written pledge not to set foot in Yongzhou again. The written note was also stamped with the seal of the Tununan Royal Provincial Punishment Department. This is always a matter of credibility."
"Written evidence?" Li Muliang smiled bitterly, "When you have free time, go to the bookstore and have a look. There are hundreds of written evidence left by Tu Nu.
I served as the Director of the Punishment Department, and fought sixteen times with Tunu, each with a victory or defeat. After each battle, a written document must be written. The written document must state that the two families have been reconciled and there will be no more war. But is this useful? ?
There was a written document at the beginning, but less than half a month after it was established, Tunu called. In the end, they still bullied me into having no one in the two states!"
Li Muliang sighed repeatedly, and Xu Zhiqiong heard something different.
Xu Zhiqiong quickly changed the subject: "Li Changshi, now that you have woken up, I am relieved. I am going to Tielang Pass..."
He wanted to find an excuse to leave, but was interrupted by Li Muliang: "To be honest, I woke up a long time ago."
This man is quite straightforward.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded slightly and didn't say much. He didn't want to embarrass Li Muliang.
But Li Muliang was not afraid of embarrassment and took the initiative to ask: "Do you know why I keep pretending to sleep?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment: "Chang Shi doesn't want to pretend to be the sixth grade and rely on the strong to bully the weak."
Li Muliang shook his head and said with a smile, "You really think highly of me! To tell you the truth, I pretended to be the sixth grade to duel with the Tunu people three times, and killed their lieutenant twice. In order to protect the two-thirds of an acre of Yonglu Prefecture, I I've done a lot of dirty things,
This time I pretend to be awake because my old injury has not healed. If I really go to a duel, I may not be able to defeat a sixth-level person. If I lose, the judges of Yonglu and Luzhou will also be dispersed. This place Then he returned to Maosha,
Don't laugh at me, and don't underestimate me. You will do whatever it takes to fight for an inch of land, and that's how it is at the border. As long as any land falls into the hands of Judge Tunu, the Xuan people in that place will have no way to survive."
Xu Zhiqiong did not underestimate Li Muliang. He knew that guarding the border was not easy, it was not easy for the soldiers, and it was not easy for the judges.
Li Muliang looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "Actually, I shouldn't call you Xu Zhonglang. The Taoist sect has its own rules. I wonder how I should call you in the Taoist sect?"
What is supposed to come will eventually come. Xu Zhiqiong deliberately separated the name of the judge and said: "Among the Taoists, my surname is Ma and my name is Shangfeng."
I thought I could get over it, but I didn't expect Li Muliang to repeat it several times: "Ma Shangfeng, Ma Shangfeng... I have heard of you. You are a famous young hero in the capital."
Xu Zhiqiong let out a sigh of relief: "Chang Shi deserves the award."
"This is not a reward, Brother Ma. If I remember correctly, you have been in the sixth level for less than a year, and you have already reached the sixth level. I have never seen such talent in the Taoist sect. It's a pity..."
What's a pity?
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned.
Li Muliang said: "It's a pity that Brother Ma is not reused in the capital, but he is still squeezed out by Feng Jing'an and others!"
He even knows this!
The information about the long history of punishing evil is really well-informed.
Li Muliang sat up from the couch, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Brother Ma, I know that the two prefectures of Yonglu are far less prosperous than the capital, but a young hero should not be buried like this.
If you don't give up, you can stay in Yonglu Punishing Evil Division. The Zhonglang Courtyard here is a bit dilapidated and cannot be compared with the capital city, but Shaoqing's Mansion is by no means inferior to your Zhonglang Courtyard!"
Li Muliang wanted to keep Xu Zhiqiong as a young minister in the Punishment Department.
Xu Zhiqiong remained silent.
Li Muliang said: "Brother, don't dislike the poverty in the north. In recent days, there have been many wars and merits can be obtained everywhere. This is the place where you can use your skills. With your mind and talent, you can be promoted to the fifth rank in less than a year. By then I will I will give you the land of Yongzhou, and you will establish a new branch and a department to punish evildoers. Your future will be limitless!"
Xu Zhiqiong did not mind that the Northern Territory was poor. Li Muliang was right. There was a war going on in the Northern Territory, and merit was indeed easy to obtain.
But Xu Zhiqiong could not give up the capital easily.
The prince is in the capital, the second brother is in the capital, and the lantern yamen is in the capital.
The pretty lady, the senior sister, the thief woman, and Lin Qianniang are all in the capital.
The most important thing is that Liang Daguan’s family is in the capital!
If Liang Daguan's family had been left alone, the two prefectures of Yonglu would have fallen into the hands of the Tunu people. At that time, it would be a fool's dream to talk about setting up a separate punishment department.
Li Muliang said: "Brother Ma, is there anything else you can't give up on?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "There are indeed many things that we can't let go of."
"I have been to the capital several times. It is difficult to leave the bustling city. The bustling and noisy places are rather disgusting. But there is one place that really makes people forget to leave. I don't know the hook-and-rail sheds in Qiaotou Tile Market.
Has Brother Ma been there?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I won't go to that kind of place."
Li Muliang smiled when he heard this: "Before the war broke out, the two states were flooded, and Goulan was also quite prosperous, and the style was not inferior to that of the capital."
"How can I say this..." Xu Zhiqiong didn't want to hurt Li Muliang's face. Where can Goulan dare to compare with the capital?
"Brother Ma, don't believe it?" Li Muliang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yongzhou was hit by war, and the Goulan was gone, but the Goulan in Luzhou is still there. I asked Zhou Qinglin to take my brother to have a look."
"What's so interesting about this?" Xu Zhiqiong shook his head repeatedly. "There's something I've never understood. I hope Li Changshi will give me some advice."
Li Muliang nodded and said, "Brother Ma, please speak."
"It's been a while since I entered the sixth rank, but I still don't know what skills the sixth rank has?"
Li Muliang pondered for a moment and said, "The person who introduced you to the elite class didn't tell you?"
"There was something urgent at the time, so we didn't have time to talk about it."
Li Muliang was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "Brother, don't blame me for being stingy. Sixth-grade skills are the same as innate skills. They are the means for our judges to settle down and live. We can never tell others easily.
If you agree to stay in the north, I will tell you the details. If you refuse to stay, I forgive my brother for the inconvenience of saying more."
If you don't say it, don't say it, but you still threaten me?
Xu Zhiqiong stood up and said, "In that case, Ma will take his leave."
"Wait a minute," Li Muliang stood up and stopped Xu Zhiqiong, "I only said this because I am a brother. Luzhou Goulan has its own style. Brothers, you are here, so you might as well take a look."
While they were talking, Li Muliang called Zhou Qinglin, but Xu Zhiqiong repeatedly declined. Zhou Qinglin invited him warmly, took a dental plaque from Li Muliang's hand, and took Xu Zhiqiong to an attic.
There are four floors in the attic. Zhou Qinglin went up to the second floor and walked along the corridor to the door of the fifth room.
He put the tooth tag on the door, and the door opened a crack.
Zhou Qinglin pushed open the door, stretched out his hand and said: "Xu Zhonglang, please!"
A blizzard of snow blew towards his face, and Xu Zhiqiong shivered. The weather was not suitable for going to the fence.
Besides, I still have to find my wife!
"Brother Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. I'm really in a hurry, so I'll take the first step."
"No," Zhou Qinglin said, "Since Chang Shi has given instructions, I will take you to see it no matter what. Brother Xu, please don't make things difficult for me."
Xu Zhonglang should be called Brother Xu to prove his identity and had arrived in the mortal world. The two took off their masks and walked two streets in the wind and snow. They came to a group of tile-roofed houses.
The tile-roofed house was neatly built, but it was this neatness that prevented Xu Zhiqiong from feeling the unique personality and elegance of Goulan.
Think of the peony shed in Beijing. The vermilion-colored wooden building is gorgeous and grand. At a glance, a blooming peony comes to mind, and you can feel the status and aura of the No. 1 shed in Wa City!
Think about the jasmine shed again, with its snow-white fence and snow-white gauze. After the gauze faded away, it was still snow-white, but white... Even if you don’t need to smell it, the fragrance of jasmine comes straight to your mind.
This tile-roofed house is a little less interesting. I feel that this place is no different from an ordinary house.
"Brother Zhou, I really have something else to do..."
"Brother Xu, this is the No. 1 shed in Luzhou. It's called Shifang Goulan. The shopkeeper's nickname is Mi Shifang, which means there is no place in the world that can compare to this Goulan!"
Xu Zhiqiong laughed!
"There are only four directions in the world. What else does he mean by the ten directions?"
Zhou Qinglin also laughed: "You have to count the heaven and the earth!"
Xu Zhiqiong originally didn't want to go in, but now he was angered.
"Think of heaven and earth, this is so crazy and forgetful! I want to see what kind of Shifang Shifang he is!"
The waiter pushed open the door and opened the door, feeling a burst of warmth.
The walls are hot, the floor is hot, and there is a little smoke and smoke.
Xu Zhiqiong is familiar with this. Geothermal heat and fire walls are also found in the capital, but they are not common among hooks.
But the hottest place is on the stage.
Two handsome singers were singing a song "Red Lips" due to each other. Their throats were clear and their singing skills were superb. Twenty dancers around them danced to the song. Their dance postures not only matched the melody, but also matched the artistic conception of the words.
A dancer is sitting in front of the mirror, and two dancers are nearby, painting her eyebrows and lips, sometimes dressing her makeup carefully, sometimes playing and laughing.
A dancer has her hands wrapped with a ribbon and splashes flower petals downwards in mid-air to create the illusion of flying flowers like snow. Several other dancers are grouped around the mirror to create the illusion of glittering pearls.
What a great song, "Red Lips", but it perfectly interprets the phrase "white snow condenses the beautiful face, bright pearls touch red lips".
In terms of elegance, Xu Zhiqiong firmly believes that this is the real Yangchun Baixue and will definitely not be inferior to Yinggeyuan.
However, the lyrics are straightforward and the dance movements are clear and intuitive. Even those who have never studied can understand the meaning expressed in it, and it does not reduce the intimacy that the hook should have at all.
This really combines elegance and elegance to the extreme!
What's more important is that whether they are dancers or singers, there is no sense of being forced to make a living on their faces. Their faces are full of enthusiasm, and they must give their best to every chant and every dance.
Go all out!
Zhou Qinglin smiled and said: "Brother Xu, how is the atmosphere here?"
The charm here is irresistible!
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Why is such a good place not opened in the capital?"
"Why open it in the capital? The capital is layered with layers of exploitation and there are so many rules. No matter how charming you are, you are not allowed to show it," Zhou Qinglin said with a smile, "I don't know how to scorn the world. I will waste my life after all the fireworks. How many heroes have traveled thousands of miles to come here."
Luzhou, just to take a look at Shifang Goulan!
In this Shifang Goulan, no matter whether it is singing, dancing or acrobatics, if you can compete for the top spot, you can earn more than a hundred taels a year. You can easily buy a family property in the north.
Girls can come and go freely, they don’t need to write documents, sign deeds, or be whipped or slapped. They can earn money, divided 50-50, and be diligent on stage, and there will be rewards. Even if they don’t have much talent, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will be rewarded two or three times a year.
You can earn even ten taels of silver,
The girls are all fighting for the family business, so naturally they try their best. Shifang then asked famous experts for guidance, and they have prospered today. Brother Xu, there are seven stages in Shifang Goulan. This one is good at singing and dancing, and the one next door is famous for it.
Brother Xu is good at opera, do you want to go and listen to it?"
"Not busy, not busy, let's watch the singing and dancing first!"
From "Red Lips" to "Jade Butterfly", the stage is getting hotter and hotter, and the gauze on the singer's body is getting thinner and thinner.
"Brother Xu, there is also a stage that specializes in Tunu singing and dancing. Shifang Goulan does not accept Tunu guests, but it accepts a lot of Tunu artists. Brother Xu, do you want to go and see it?"
"I'll go and see it later!" Xu Zhiqiong's eyes were a little dull. A gust of wind blew on the stage, and the gauze floated up.
Zhou Qinglin sighed: "Brother Xu, if you have something important to do, I won't dare to force you to stay, but if you have some free time, please stay here for a while."
"I do have something important to do," Xu Zhiqiong sat under the stage, staring intently, "but it doesn't hurt to sit down for a while."
