Chapter 410: Granting good fortune, confiscating the family and destroying the family
While Qiu Zhengyang was making intensive preparations, Tie Tang brought Fang Lexian, Tie Long, Tie Hu and others to the Yanxia Cave.
Compared to the Si family, this is the highlight.
Three thousand miles of haze, eight hundred miles of water.
Yanxia Cave is extremely vast, much larger than Qingshui City. It contains thousands of towering mountains, thousands of trees, countless exotic flowers and plants, and a sea of bamboos, trees and pines.
Tie Tang has a lot of expectations for Yanxia Cave.
If this place can be built well...Three thousand miles of haze will become a treasure trove for Qingshui City, Qingshui County, and himself.
Before that.
He has teamed up with many experts to transplant various medicinal fields and spiritual mothers in the cave to the depths in advance.
The corpses inside have also been handed over to various aristocratic families, and the ruined landscape has been simply repaired by Tie Tang and others, giving it a new look.
Seventy percent of the entire Yanxia Cave is open to the public.
The remaining 30%, nearly a thousand miles in radius, was divided into private lands by Tie Tang, which was mainly used to cultivate various medicinal fruits, immortal treasures, spiritual rice and other special plants.
Moreover, the main formation of Qingshui City's city defense formation is in the county government office. At this time, it is exactly where the Yanxia Cave is located, and part of the formation's starlight is also introduced into the cave.
After Tie Tang and others arrived, Yanxia Cave had already received its first batch of tourists.
Most of them have good temperaments, are well-educated, and wear gold and jade. They are obviously not ordinary people.
These people are all descendants of Qingshui City's aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen, but they are not the top group, they are all middle-class people.
The reason why they were able to enter in the first batch did not rely on personal or family power or financial resources, but on the credit of those bastards who stayed in advance.
The first-class aristocratic family in the city boasts that they have great eyes and hands. No big or small affairs that happen in the city can escape their eyes and ears. Naturally, there is no need for a person like Hunzi.
However, lesser aristocratic families and some merchants with insufficient power are extremely fond of those bastards.
With these gangsters reporting on them on a daily basis, they can quickly keep up with the changes in the situation in Qingshui City.
The price paid for it is just some ordinary things, not worth talking about at all.
At this time.
They seized the opportunity and entered the unexplored Yanxia Cave one step ahead of the four major aristocratic families, including the Lu family.
Tie Tang saw many disciples still wandering around the outside and asked the others with a smile: "Is there anyone familiar with you here...?"
Everyone glanced at it, confused, but Tieniu stood up first, pointed at one of the young men in green robes and said: "This man's name is Su Zhan. He has a good character. He came to me to build a coffin a few days ago. He is very happy."
Sir, why do you ask me to do this?"
"Our Yanxia Cave is opening for the first time, so we naturally want to make a name for ourselves. In today's era... the aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley."
Fang Lexian's eyelids twitched, as if he guessed what Tie Tang was going to do, and asked casually: "What do you want, brother?"
"Let's see if I give him some luck!" Tie Tang pointed his finger, and the void rippled slightly, but nothing strange was seen.
Su Zhan, who is still unaware below, is exploring this place together with three friends. His eyes are clear, his face is handsome, and his cultivation has reached the realm of spiritual wisdom. He is only one step away from comprehending the heart of heaven and cultivating the soul.
In front of him was a sea of clouds, mountains, and mist. Even if he used his magical power, he wouldn't be able to discern too many mysteries. Su Zhan was about to take a detour when he suddenly heard the sound of a dragon coming from the dense mist.
"There are actually monsters here?" Su Zhan was a little surprised and stepped back a few feet warily.
But at this time.
A green and black ferocious dragon head poked out from the clouds and mist, holding two fist-sized precious fruits in its mouth, like fire jade, and its whole body was filled with red flames.
Plop!
The dragon spit out two precious fruits in front of Su Zhan, turned around and flicked its tail, and disappeared into the vast sea of mist.
"Is this... for me?"
Su Zhan curiously picked up the two precious fruits, but he couldn't recognize them and hesitated whether to eat them.
A friend in front turned around at this moment and saw the treasure in Su Zhan's hand. He was extremely surprised: "Brother Su, where did you get the Fire Lotus Jade?"
"Oh? Is this thing called Fire Lotus Jade? I have never seen it before."
"This is a good thing. It can ventilate the blood and strengthen the lungs. It is said that it can also condense the soul, but I have never eaten it, so I don't know the specific effect."
"There is actually the ability to condense the soul? It suits me just right!" Su Zhan thought about it day and night, dreaming of cultivating the soul.
After hearing this, he swallowed a fire lotus jade without hesitation.
This precious fruit melted in his mouth, and blazing flames broke out all over Su Zhan. He was so frightened that he quickly used his witchcraft to extinguish it.
"Brother Su, don't panic, this is normal."
Sure enough.
After a while, the flames slowly extinguished, and wisps of black and gray mist floated out from Su Zhan's head. His internal organs rumbled, and his energy and blood surged like the sea.
Su Zhan hurriedly sat down on the same spot and started to use his exercises to refine the medicine.
After half a stick of incense.
"Gugua~gua~"
A huge frog croaked.
I saw a huge illusory figure flying out of Su Zhan's head, which was the Manggu Zhu Clam with the meaning of the Five Ancient Poisons.
"I have cultivated into the soul, I have cultivated into the soul!"
Su Zhan was so excited that he stood up and danced, unable to conceal his joy.
The people around looked at it with envy. Naturally, they knew that after Su Zhan cultivated his soul, he would be like a snake turning into a dragon or a dragon turning into a dragon, with the power to reach the sky.
"I didn't expect that Brother Su was the first to be blessed. This is such a good place."
Tie Long, Tie Hu and others standing high up were dumbfounded and a little confused.
"Sir, although we have a lot of precious fruits, if everyone gives out a few, it will be a waste of money and we won't be able to make many achievements."
Tie Tang smiled and said: "I have clearly written in the announcement, 'Those who are destined can get it.' Whether they are destined or not... Apart from their own luck, it is not up to me, so why are you panicking?
”
After enlightening one person, Tie Tang did not waste any time and selected a dozen people in succession, either giving spiritual fruits or immortal treasures, or guiding the vitality of heaven and earth to turn into a storm of vitality that hovered above someone's head.
The most powerful method...
It was Tie Tang who used the divine pupil of the sun and moon to see through the blood, soul, and skills of the people below, tailor-made a new magical power or skill for them, and turned it into an unknown classic and sent it to them.
No matter whether these people who get the opportunity suspect that there is something fishy inside, the benefits have actually fallen on them.
Just this.
It’s worth the price.
Tie Long was stupid and still didn't understand Tie Tang's meaning, so he asked naively: "Sir, you can't hide here all day and make lies, can you?"
"You idiot, why am I lying? The fact that they can get the opportunity I gave them also shows that they have a certain destiny.
If not, why is your third brother the first one not to mention anyone else’s name, but to mention Su Zhan?”
After Tie Tang's vision and state of mind improved, he gained a deeper understanding of the hidden avenue.
Everything that everyone does may affect their own cause and effect, thus producing a deeper butterfly effect.
The fact that Su Zhan's name can be spoken from Tieniu's mouth is by no means an accident. Instead, it can be regarded as an inevitable phenomenon.
After hearing this, Tie Long was still a little dissatisfied: "Sir, it's enough for you to be here. If you're not here... who can give these people treasures?
As time goes by, everyone will understand that there is nothing to gain from coming here, and naturally they will not come again."
"The treasures of heaven and earth are where the virtuous live. I will not stay here all the time, but I have not completely blocked the aura and opportunities here.
Even if no one controls it, there will always be people with extraordinary luck who can get some treasures here.
In addition.
Yanxia Cave is a blessed place, and being able to come here to practice is also an opportunity.
After ordinary people come in, they can climb high and look far, and their spirit and mood can be cleansed, they can be less likely to suffer from all kinds of diseases, and they can live longer and longer. This is also an opportunity.
What I have done is just to take these benefits one step ahead, expand them a little bit, attract more people's attention, and accumulate reputation, and you will understand it later."
Tie Long seemed to understand, and looked at Fang Lexian. He knew that this businessman of the Fang family had a unique understanding.
"Brother, you are really talented. I really don't know how you came up with these ideas." Fang Lexian praised.
It's not that what Tie Tang did was so amazing or wonderful, it's just that these thoughts... in Fang Lexian's opinion, should not be said from Tie Tang's mouth.
Tie Tang waved his hand: "Brother, stop teasing me. You are an expert in this field. You will have to come up with more ideas in the future."
Fang Lexian smiled slightly and tried to ask: "Do you have any other methods behind you?"
"Every outsider can get the opportunity, so naturally we can't lose it to our own people. Later, you will find some people close to you and let them join in. I will give them some great blessings and let them publicize it after they go out." p>
Tielong said in confusion: "Sir, isn't this still the same?"
"Haha~"
This time, before Tie Tang could speak, Fang Lexian explained first: "There are still some differences. I gave you what I gave you before, and I don't ask for anything else.
Now I not only want to give more, but also ask them to do things, which is tantamount to looking for a 'sitter', do you understand?"
"Looking for excuses? If you say that, why don't I understand? It's so futile. How could I, Tielong, know this?"
Everyone laughed loudly, but they were also shocked by Tie Tang's plan. What he did was really not like a genius, but like a veteran in the business world.
The opening of Yanxia Cave has brought a glimmer of life to the stagnant Qingshui City.
And on the other side.
The team led by Qiu Zhengyang, like bull heads and horse faces threatening their lives, surrounded the Si family's residence with a strong evil aura.
In order to prevent anyone from escaping, Qiu Zhengyang not only contacted He Changsheng, but also called Li Qingwan and came with three battalions of troops.
Si Yuanlong, who was still plotting in the Ji family at this time, immediately became anxious after receiving the message from his subordinates, and rushed to the door of the Si family with several clan elders.
"Qiu Zhengshou, Mr. He is arresting the county, eh? Captain Li is here too? Why are you here?" Si Yuanlong's feet and stomach were spinning, but he was still holding on.
Ever since Tie Tang became the county governor, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
What's more, I didn't expect that the enemy I provoked in the past would not come now. It seemed that he didn't take the Si family seriously at all.
Qiu Zhengyang didn't talk nonsense. He stepped on the glow and looked down at Si Yuanlong and others.
"You know what you are guilty of for what you have done, so just go ahead and arrest me. Qiu, because of his love for the village, can give you some dignity."
"Master Qiu, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense." Naturally, Si Yuanlong would not give in so easily.
But the clan elders behind him, as well as the Si family members who came in a hurry, were a little ready to make a move.
Si has a lot of family members.
Some people boast that they have never done dirty work, and maybe the involvement is not deep. Surrendering early would not be a bad thing. Maybe not only can they save their lives, but they can even be acquitted.
But Si Yuanlong's lineage has been in charge of the Si family for many years. Si Yuanlong didn't speak, and they didn't dare to turn around immediately.
What's more.
The Si family also has the biggest trump card.
That is General Zhenxi, who is far away in Jiangdu Prefecture, Si Guangji, who is in the witch god realm.
As long as this backer remains... they don't believe that Qiu Zhengyang really dares to uproot everyone in the Si family.
Qiu Zhengyang clasped his hands behind his back and his eyes were bright: "I, on the orders of the Governor of Tie County, came to clear out the Si family, but those who resist... will be killed without mercy.
Everyone, think about it!"
"Where is the Tie Tang man? Let him come over!" Si Yuanlong gritted his teeth in anger, and his eyes were about to burst.
Qiu Zhengyang immediately angrily rebuked: "The county governor is busy with official duties and has important matters of his own. Do you think that I, the supervisor, can't touch you?"
When it comes to actual law enforcement, in fact, Tie Tang, the county guard, does not have as much power as Qiu Zhengyang, the supervisor.
But everyone present understands...
Qiu Zhengyang has been the supervisor of Qingshui City for decades. He has not come before and will not come in the future.
Now he's here.
And dare to come!
That could never be his own intention, it must be Tie Tang’s instruction.
Si Yuanlong suppressed his anger and bowed his hands, maintaining the last dignity of the family leader.
"Sir Qiu, this matter is of great importance. I need to inform my father, and please... think twice!!!"
The last few words were almost spoken by Si Yuanlong through clenched teeth, and the threat was obvious.
He Changsheng was a little impatient in waiting, and urged: "Old enemy, what nonsense are you talking to him about? I'll just take the blame for the Si family."
Qiu Zhengyang chuckled and said: "I, the Supervisory Palace, must do things openly and aboveboard, how can I be criticized by others?"
He looked at Si Yuanlong and waved his hand: "I'll give you a stick of incense time, just go and pass it on."
Qiu Zhengyang had already received Tie Tang's instructions and knew that Si Guangji would not do so and did not dare to interfere in the affairs of Qingshui City.
Such an action... can make Si Yuanlong completely give up, and can also cause civil strife in the Si family, and some people will surrender without taking action.
After all, they are all from the same hometown, and there is still a sense of friendship. Qiu Zhengyang does not want to do things too badly.
Otherwise, with a wave of his hand, soldiers and horses entered the house, and unless the blood flowed into rivers, the sun and the moon lost light, the matter would not be solved.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After receiving the news, the heads of the other three major aristocratic families also came with their confidants, and even many people from some subordinate vassal aristocratic families came.
But.
Almost no one dares to take the lead in interceding for the Si family.
They...
They all vaguely realized something.
This time.
Tie Tang means it, Qiu Zhengyang means it.
This new county governor, who has just taken office not long ago, has already penetrated into the hearts of all the aristocratic families in Qingshui City.
In addition, many aristocratic families lost their manpower in Yanxia Cave and suffered heavy losses.
The first- and second-rate aristocratic families were okay, but the third- and fourth-rate aristocratic families immediately fell into despair after the death of some of their pillars. At this time, they couldn't even take care of their own family affairs. How could they dare to stand up for the Si family?
Time passes slowly.
After a stick of incense.
Si Yuanlong walked out of the inner palace with a livid face.
His famous father...
No response.
What this means is clear to everyone.
They were abandoned by Si Guangji.
Or rather.
Si Guangji did not dare to provoke Tie Tang, so he could only choose to retreat in this game.
"No wonder Tie Tang didn't even come. Has he already reached this point..." Si Yuanlong was filled with sorrow and was helpless.
At this time, several clan elders secretly transmitted the message: "Long'er, you can leave. We old bones have no hope, but you are different.
As long as you escape to Jiangdu Prefecture, I don't believe that the evil thief Tie Tang dares to arrest you. Just go away and I will cover you later."
"Third Grandpa..."
"As long as you don't die, you still have a chance. Before others can react, you give the order quickly and we will take advantage of the chaos to cover you."
Si Yuanlong felt cruel, knowing that if his order was followed, many people in the Si family might die.
But he has no choice.
If you want to survive, you have to sacrifice the lives of other tribesmen.
Si Yuanlong stood up and glanced at other aristocratic families and the three most critical allies.
"Tie Tang violated discipline and law. If he can slander our Si family today, he can also kill your Ji family, Gou family, and Yang family in the future.
Now that he is about to succeed, he has set up a large defensive formation so that you will not be able to leave even if you want to.
Everyone, what are you waiting for?
Don’t you understand the meaning of dying lips and cold teeth?”
Qiu Zhengyang watched Si Yuanlong bewitching others coldly, but did not speak to stop him.
Because what Si Yuanlong said is at least half right.
These rotten and corrupt people will have to be eradicated sooner or later, so today we will let them do it together and catch them all in one fell swoop.
However...
No matter how much Si Yuanlong's tongue spreads like a lotus flower, all the major families remain indifferent. Even among the three allies, only one of the Ji family is ready to make a move.
Gou Hanfei, the head of the Gou family, lost his life in the Yanxia Cave. He had previously faced off against Tie Tang, but was defeated miserably. He was already frightened inside.
The head of the Yang family was the most foresighted. As early as when Tie Tang was dealing with the Gou family, he chose to sit on the sidelines and stand in a neutral position.
Because the head of the Yang family knew that no matter how hard Tie Tang tried, the Qingshui City family would never be completely wiped out.
There will always be aristocratic families that will survive, or new aristocratic families that will emerge.
And for the head of the Yang family...
The Si family was destroyed, and although he lost a powerful ally, if he managed it well, he might still be able to take the opportunity to carve up the Si family's territory and expand the Yang family's power.
Everything has two sides.
It depends on where you stand and what angle you look at it from.
The premise is.
You have the right to choose.
The Si family does not have the power to choose, but the Yang family does.
The head of the Ji family is the most troubled person. The younger members of his clan have just been humiliated by people from Tie Tang, and he is very angry in his heart.
Besides, what Si Yuanlong said... is not completely unreasonable.
It can be the Si family today, but will it be his Ji family tomorrow?
No one can guarantee it!
So.
Ji Jianzhang, the head of the Ji family, stood up, looked at Qiu Zhengyang and said: "Master Qiu, I think there may be some misunderstanding about this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiu Zhengyang waved his hand and uttered two words coldly.
