The first cause of all realms

Chapter 147
From winter to spring, everything grows.

Inadvertently, green has emerged from the cracks in the walls, the ground, and the hills, and the fresh breath permeates the earth and the world.

Qingzhou City is as prosperous as ever.

After the fire in the granary, the big storm that many people expected did not come.

The four families filled the granary with grain, the state government recruited artisans, and the towns built outside the city also began to see scale, and even became more and more popular with the addition of subsequent refugees.

In the city, it is also peaceful.

The expected big change has not come, but many people have already noticed something different from the past.

Several major gangs have died down, the four major families have become peaceful, the efficiency of state government affairs has been much faster, the street rogues have almost disappeared, and the government servants patrolling the streets have become amiable.

This is a very subtle change, but for many people, it is already an astonishing change.

Involuntarily, the gate of the inn, which had been neglected for a long time, became crowded again, but the people who came here were no longer dignitaries, gentry and officials, but common people.

And that Mr. Xu who came from the capital was no longer indifferent as before. He even took his granddaughter with him and went out with a ponytail, chatting happily with the nearby villagers.

"Old Xu, you said that the emperor's father sleeps every day and wakes up at five o'clock? But it is said that all the concubines in the harem are as beautiful as flowers, so the emperor is willing to let them guard the vacant room alone?"

"Tell me about the time when you overthrew the chief assistant 'Wang Qinglin' ​​who was in power!"

"I heard that you have to go through three passes to enter Beijing. Which ones are they? I heard it is Hulao Pass?"

……

Under the old tree with branches, a group of people stood or stood, asking about various things.

The entertainment of the ordinary people in Shengdou is too scarce, even listening to people's stories can cost a few copper coins. Listening to the old man telling stories is naturally a lot of people's favorite.

Of course, many of them wanted to be familiar with each other.

No matter what these people asked, Xu Wenji responded with a smile, saying more about what he could say, and understating what he couldn't say. For a while, the atmosphere at the gate of the post station was very good.

It wasn't until the expressionless Huang Sixiang came over that the group of people exclaimed and dispersed, and went back with their little horses.

"Miss, it's getting late, shall we go back?"

Lowering his head, Huang Sixiang had a loving smile on his face.

"OK, all right."

The little girl was a little reluctant to part with her, but obediently carried the pony back to the house.

"Any news?"

Xu Wenji restrained his smile and asked.

"Go back and tell me, there are too many people here."

Huang Sixiang glanced around coldly.

Among the small people who have not dispersed, there are quite a few spies from various families, and because of Xu Wenji's connivance, they even feel a little undisguised.

He hated these people very much, but Xu Wenji didn't say anything, and it was hard for him to strike.

"It's getting late, let's go home!"

Xu Wenji raised his hand, turned and went back to the house.

He was already very old, but his movements were still very agile, and not long after, he had arrived at the backyard of the inn.

"The inn back then was still very prosperous, but now..."

Although it has been tidied up, there is still a decayed smell in the post station, Xu Wenji slightly sighed:
"After the matter here, I have to write to the imperial court and distribute some money..."

Once upon a time, the post station was a must-stop destination for many officials.

It's a pity that with the lack of finances of the imperial court, in recent years, there have been a lot of post stations, and many of the postmen who entertained them have lost their money.

"In recent years, the border has become tense, and the army's expenditure is huge. When Jin Yiwei is in arrears, how can we get a small post?"

Huang Sixiang brought a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of them, with a little consolation:

"You are called Ping Luan this time, and you are actually degraded by others. Why bother? No one will care..."

"There is no small matter in the imperial court. The post station seems insignificant, but there are many people who rely on it for a living. It is easy to abolish the post station. The postmen who can make a living here will have no way to survive..."

Xu Wenji sighed slightly.

Taizu has been in power for many years, and all kinds of legal systems are very detailed, many of which have been criticized for many years, such as the rule that father dies and son replaces.

The son of a postman can only be a postposter.

How can they survive when the station is gone?
"There are talented people in the court, why do you worry too much? The situation in Qingzhou is already very troublesome."

Knowing that Xu Wenji couldn't be persuaded, Huang Sixiang could only change the subject:

"I just received a report from Lingying, that boy Yang is in the Mulin Mansion, but there has been a lot of commotion..."

I don't want Xu Wenji to bother me.

Huang Sixiang narrated in great detail, from entering the Qiufeng Building during the day, killing the Giant Whale Gang at night, subduing the Dajiao Gang, and hanging the brothel boss with his backhand.

On the second day, the yamen interrogator revealed all sorts of miscellaneous affairs of the four families in Mulin Mansion.

No detail was left out, nothing was left out.

"After all, it's from Jin Yiwei, it really feels like there's no taboo."

Xu Wenji smiled.

"After all, it's a bit reckless. Once you scare the snake, the fox behind it will not be easy to come out."

Huang Sixiang also sat down, picked up his teacup and blew lightly.

"The snake hides in the deep grass. If you don't beat the grass to scare the snake, how can you catch it? This kid is very smart. Whether it is the four great masters or Nie Wendong, they are all foxes who have accumulated years. Why don't you give it a go!"

Xu Wenji shook his head:
"Just wait and see, it won't be long before people from the Four Great Families will come to the door."

"If you can't get real evidence, even you, it's hard to judge these companies, right?"

Huang Sixiang frowned slightly.

"Real evidence? We have been together for more than two years. If the four masters had hands, they would have wiped their asses clean. I didn't expect any real evidence."

Xu Wenji blew on the tea lightly, and amid the ripples, his eyes were gloomy:

"What I want is for them to move!"

"If you don't move, there will be no flaws. If you move, you can catch the handle."

Huang Sixiang knew it in his heart, but frowned slightly:

"In this way, isn't this kid in great danger?"

The influence of the four great masters spread all over Qingzhou, and even he would not dare to neglect him once he backfired, that kid...

"So, next, you need to move."

Putting down the teacup, Xu Wenji stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice:

"I have issued a document to suppress the bandits, whether there is no Nie Wendong or the Four Great Masters, the masters under their command will be transferred under my nose in a few days.

But just in case, you still have to go and meet Young Boy.These days, children with a conscience are rare..."

"This……"

Huang Sixiang's expression changed slightly:
"If I leave, won't you be in danger? You can't put yourself in danger."

"It's not a matter of taking personal risks."

Xu Wenji waved his hand, his expression straightened:
"Have you forgotten Fengxian? Her martial arts are still higher than yours..."

Only then did Huang Sixiang feel relieved.

In Qingzhou City, there are only two people who can catch his eyes, except for Fang Qidao, the chief catcher of Six Gates, and that is Yu Fengxian.

There are so many strong people in Qingzhou, but these two people definitely have positions.

Especially the former...

Not long after the two talked, a voice full of spirit came into the station from outside the door.

"Is Mr. Xu here? Chu Xuan, the younger generation, came to pay a visit!"

……

……

"Chu Xuan!"

Qiufenglou, Peony Xiaozhu, Qin Si was dressed in white, with a pure breath, lightly pinching the shoulders of Yang Yu, who held the file in his hand, and spit out a name from his mouth.

Chu Ping's bones were not as hard as he thought.

People who are not afraid of death are not fearless. If they are truly fearless, they will not seek death.

Therefore, it was very easy for Yang Jue to ask Chu Ping what he wanted to know.

However, he only thought that this person could bring out some criminal evidence of the Chu family, but he didn't want to, so he directly pulled out the head of the Chu family, Chu Xuan.

Some people, when they are born, stand at the apex that many people can't reach in their lifetime.

Chu Xuan is such a person.

He is the eldest son of the Chu family, and his mother's family is from the rich family of Baizhou. It is said that his aunt was once an imperial concubine, and she is an imperial concubine with a son.

The family has a huge wealth, powerful and powerful, and he is also very talented, both civil and military. He married a lady from a famous family in Yunzhou. His son, Chu Tianyi, is the head of the four princes of Qingzhou.

After reading the information about this person, Yang Yu had to admit that the world is uneven, unlike some people who are hungry and want to eat dirt...

"Chu Xuan has always been a low-key person. I have never heard of his deeds for many years, but his son has been very famous in recent years."

Qin Si kneaded her wrists and sat down too:

"Although the title of Fourth Young Master of Qingzhou has something to boast about, it does not include Chu Tianyi. This man is truly the proud son of heaven..."

"Young master of the Chu family, who doesn't know?"

Yang Yu nodded.

Before he left Qingzhou, he had heard of the name of the eldest son of Chu.

This eldest son, who was injected with new blood by the rich families of the two states, before his birth, his mother asked for a "Da Huan Pill" from Lanke Temple, and his father even asked for a "Birth Removal Pill" from the imperial court. .

These two kinds of elixirs are both priceless, the former is swallowed by experts and can dissipate the internal energy of a child, and the latter is the treasure elixir that all masters of the five levels of foundation are eager for.

It is one of the best adjuvants when the blood exchange is completed.

This prince of Chu lived up to expectations. It is said that he was born able to speak. He had already read hundreds of sword books at the age of three, and he was already famous in Qingzhou at the age of 16.

I don't know how many masters were defeated by him.

Most of the titles of the four young masters were forced to come together by others. Although the other three were also considered brilliant, they paled too much compared to him.

"I heard that he went to Zhujian Villa two years ago..."

Qin Si stopped her mouth just right. She looked at Yang Qiu's face, and seeing that his expression didn't change much, her heart moved again.

"Zhujian Villa, is it on Nanhua Road? Come and go quickly, it will take a year or two. Guess he just joined Zhujian Villa?"

Yang Jue stretched his muscles and bones, the tingling pain all over his body had completely disappeared, he could not help but praise slightly:

"Master Qin's move is really envious of others."

Yang Yu was a little greedy.

His muscles and bones are strong, but he is not invulnerable to injury. Such supernatural powers are especially valuable for those who lick blood from the edge of a knife.

"Does your lord want to learn?"

Qin Si poured tea for him, and her beautiful eyes flowed:
"My slave can teach you..."

　Continue to code words, now the code words are getting slower and slower, it is difficult... everyone will see tomorrow.
