The first cause of all realms

Chapter 164 Actions of all parties
In the state government office, Nie Wendong, who was rarely seen in the past, sat in a side room, playing chess with others.

Since Xu Wenji came to Qingzhou, he has never been to the Taoist temple he built in the downtown area. He only wears a Taoist robe but never leaves his body.

His appearance is very good, if you don't know the basics, you really think he is a true Taoist practitioner.

The person playing chess with him has a face like a crown of jade. Although he is old, he has the air of a great Confucian who has read poetry and books. He has a slight smile on his face, which can easily make people feel good.

Surrounded by a faint musk fragrance, several delicate young girls sat on their knees and waited on them.

"Brother Chu seems to be absent-minded?"

Nie Wendong played with Heizi, and looked at the person sitting opposite him indifferently.

He has three virtues, beauties, cultivating Taoism and playing chess, but there are not many people in Qingzhou who are qualified to play chess with him.

The Patriarch of the Chu family sitting opposite was one of them.

"Brother Nie is really calm, but Chu is not so kind."

Chu Xuan smiled, and seemed to sigh:

"Xu Wenji pressed on every step of the way. The matter of the granary has defrauded us of 18 stones of grain, and he also asked me to give up [-] mu of fertile land under the pretext of refugees. He really regarded us as clay figures..."

"Brother Chu's family has a big business, why do you still care about some acres of grain fields?"

Nie Wendong didn't take it seriously.

He knew a little about the family background of the Chu family, not to mention the shops, gold and silver, etc., the good farmland alone was worth tens of thousands of hectares, and this was just the good farmland.

For them, [-] mu is a pain in the heart, but it's just a pain in the heart, far from the level of hurting the muscles and bones.

"District?"

Chu Xuan smiled wryly and shook his head:

"After all, it is the foundation accumulated by our ancestors. If brother Nie needs it, someone from Chu will offer it with both hands without saying a word, but how can I bear it if I want to give it to these lowly mud legs?"

With that said, he paused slightly:
"It's fine if it's just like this, but if he repeats it again and again, no matter how big my family is, I'm afraid it will be wiped out..."

"That's true."

Nie Wendong nodded, dropped his hand casually, and pretended to be casually asking about the last time Chu Xuan went to see Xu Wenji.

"I can't hide it from Brother Nie. At that time, my younger brother was seeking peace on behalf of Qingzhou's gentry family. I was also willing to offer 30 taels of gold, 100 million taels of silver, and [-] acres of fertile land, in order to ask him to raise his hand..."

Chu Xuan followed suit, and did not hide anything, telling the story of the last meeting.

"30 taels of gold, 100 taels of silver, and [-] mu of fertile land..."

Although he already knew it, Nie Wendong was still a little surprised when Chu Xuan said it himself: "Brother Chu really has a great family..."

The four families have been cultivating Qingzhou for many years, and their wealth is huge, he knows this.

But he was a little surprised that they were willing to pay such a price. Even if the four big families had great fortunes, this price would still hurt.

After all, their family has huge wealth and many people to support.

"He refused?"

After being surprised, Nie Wendong sighed a little.

For this price, if it were him, he would be tempted no matter what, but he knew that Chu Xuan was kicked out.

"Refused."

There was a haze in Chu Xuan's eyes:
"He made a condition that we must never agree to. He wants to count our furniture, and even check the household registration, the fields..."

Check household registration.

Nie Wendong's eyes froze, and then he was dumb:

"If so, it is indeed impossible to agree."

It's nothing more than family property, how can a house slave see the light?

It is common practice for families in Qingzhou to keep domestic slaves, and the smaller squires all support a large number of people, let alone the four great families.

Compared to gold and silver, these are the things that can kill them.

"Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?"

Chu Xuan sighed:
"Ji Longshan, who deserves to be killed, has attracted this Xu Wenji. It really makes me wait like a fight. I can't kill it, I can't avoid it, it's uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable!"

"Jilong Mountain..."

At the mention of this name, Nie Wendong felt his throat itch, and couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of thick phlegm into the 'spittoon' kneeling beside him.

"Eating the master and the lowly slave, even if you cut him into pieces, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Nie Wendong's face was livid, and his city mansion was also showing signs of color at this time.

In his whole life, when he was young, he had family members to take care of him, and when he was young, he went to the house, shepherds and took care of one side, and the friends he made were mostly from the world's elite, from aristocratic families.

To learn literature, you can walk around the street on horseback.

Learning martial arts is also superhuman.

But whatever you ask for, you can follow your heart, and you only fall on that lowly slave who devours the master.

"My lord, don't be angry. Although we have a suspicion with that Xu Wenji, we will definitely do our best to suppress the bandits this time, so that the master-eating slave will not get away with it."

There was a smile in Chu Xuan's eyes, but his expression was solemn.

Naturally, he knows the grievances and enmities between Ji Longshan and Nie Wendong in detail.

This famous long-stay bandit was just a failed scholar many years ago. Although he is not considered a poor family, he is not bad.

But later, for some reason, he entered Nie Wendong's sect and became a disciple, working for him in exchange for money to practice martial arts.

This person is not good at humanities, but his talent in martial arts is first-class. In just a few years, he has emerged in Qingzhou and caught Nie Wendong's eyes.

But who knows, this Ji Longshan fell in love with Nie Wendong's daughter by accident, and was discovered by Nie Wendong for some reason.

The results speak for themselves.

The fight during it was naturally extremely complicated, but in the end, Nie Wendong killed his own daughter, and Ji Longshan went crazy and wounded the former, then went out of Qingzhou and fled to Changliu.

"Nie lost his composure..."

Nie Wendong dropped the chess pieces, closed his eyes, and let out a breath of foul air slowly:
"Even if you are dissatisfied with Xu Wenji in every possible way, please bear with it for a while. Everything will wait until Changliu is destroyed and kills the slave who devours the master."

"Brother Nie, don't worry, we are in agreement on this point."

Chu Xuan restrained his thoughts, nodded in response, but pretended to be curious and asked:

"It's just that my little brother is curious. How did Ji Longshan get to where he is now in such a short period of time?"

Swish!
Nie Wendong opened his eyes with a cold expression:

"Brother Chu already guessed it?"

"A mere lowly slave has such good luck..."

Chu Xuan understood.

"If morality does not match, there will be disasters. How can a muddy leg survive such a good fortune?"

Nie Wendong sneered.

There was an announcement from outside:

"My lord, Mr. Xu, please call all the squires to discuss matters!"

"Let's go and talk back."

Nie Wendong casually dismissed the yamen servant who was passing through the door, and looked at Chu Xuan with a smile on his face:
"Out of this Qingzhou prefecture, the blank document is just a blank document, and there is no one under him. It is up to us to decide what will happen."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

Chu Xuan shook his head:

"Xu Wenji's disciples and old officials are all over the world. If there is no one who can use him here, I'm afraid..."

"These days, I have never been idle."

Nie Wendong pulled out from the case, pulled out a thick pile of letters, and sneered:

"Most of his protégés and old officials are on the top. According to the information, they have not changed. Even Wang Muzhi, who is close to Longyuan Dao City, has no time to care about him because he wants to assist the little prince to ascend to the throne."

Chu Xuan's eyes moved slightly.

"Maybe someone is clinging to him, but apart from that old servant, the rest are insignificant."

Nie Wendong looked indifferent:
"The boy from the six doors who stirred up wind and rain in Mulin Mansion is probably the most outstanding among those who cling to him.

But after all, it's just one,
little people. "

……

……

In the night, a bird like a hawk fell through the clouds, chased along the Datao River, and finally landed on another big ship with the "Lin" flag.

flutter~
After releasing a bird similar to a hawk, Lin Feng raised his brows and his eyes lit up:
"After dawdling for so long, I finally made a move!"

Startled by the sound of flying birds, Yu Changjing also left the cabin immediately. Seeing Lin Feng's movements, he guessed something:
"But what about Xu Wenji's suppression of bandits?"

The aristocratic family also has its own unique news channel.

Every few months, Lin Feng would receive letters from the family, with all kinds of information, of course, most of them were related to the family and Qingzhou.

This point is far beyond Bai Longxuan's comparison.

"good."

As soon as he exhaled his internal energy, he shattered the letter. Lin Feng didn't hide it, and his expression was quite uplifting:
"It's our turn to be famous..."

There is only one person in a generation as the name of the son of the Lin family, but this should be the title of the direct line, but it was snatched away by a side line, Lin Feng didn't say it, but he never forgot it in his heart.

His ambition is for the son, and the first thing to do is to make a name for himself.

Xu Wenji has been waiting for Changliu to suppress the bandits.

"Brother Lin will soon become famous in Qingzhou, no, Longyuan."

Yu Changjing complimented him.

For this matter, he also has a lot of interest in his heart, but this battle must be a cloud of masters, and even the fourth son of Qingzhou may show up.

Not to mention him, even Lin Feng might not have a chance to stand out.

"By the way, Bai Longxuan was mentioned in this letter."

Lin Feng seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Yu Changjing playfully.

The latter was slightly taken aback:
"Mention us?"

"There is a sentence, it is said that the little white dragon of your Bai Longxuan was planted in Mulin Mansion, the murderer, Yang prison. I don't know how your Bai Longxuan will react."

Lin Feng observed Yu Changjing's expression.

"Lu Wanliu..."

Yu Changjing seemed a little surprised, and seemed to have expected it:
"With Yang Ju's skill, Lu Wanliu's death is not unexpected. I don't know how the door will react, but I probably can't offend the six doors..."

He was a little self-deprecating.

Backed by the imperial court, how could the power of the six doors be provoked by Bai Longxuan?

"The imperial court."

Lin Feng was also a little silent.

The imperial court is an insurmountable mountain, even if it is a big sect like Lanke Temple, Hanging Mountain, and Zhujian Villa, don't they have to bow their heads?

"Dingyang seems not far away."

After a short silence, Yu Changjing bowed his hands and said goodbye. He looked at the faintly visible lights on both sides of the bank and said:

"Brother Lin, it's time to say goodbye."

"There will be a period later."

Lin Feng didn't want to keep him, he put down a black boat, watched the long mirror and the others leave, with a playful look on his face:
"Bai Longxuan, hehe..."

Huhu~
The night wind was very high, and the awning boat went with the waves.

Yu Changjing stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the lights on both sides of the river, he suddenly smiled:
"This idiot is dead after all."

"Brother Yu, you asked us to delay the transmission of the sect. This step is really clever. Lu Wanliu, an idiot, is really dead."

Someone complimented.

"Don't say that again."

Yu Changjing's smile converged, and his expression became indifferent:
"If there is a leak, you know the consequences."

"I'll wait to understand."

The rest of the people are all in the same mind.

The two most talented people in Bai Longxuan today are Lu Wanliu and Yu Changjing. These two are the most favorable candidates for the position of sect master.

Lu Wanliu died, so Yu Changjing was almost the next sect master.

These words carry a lot of weight.

"If I am the head of the sect, you can all take important positions in the sect, even if it is the power of the white dragon, you can let you take it yourself!"

Seeing everyone's sincere words, a smile appeared on Yu Changjing's face.

The rest of the people are naturally grateful for their loyalty.

"Brother, shall we go back to the door now?"

"Do not."

Yu Changjing's foot exerted force, and the awning boat broke through the waves:

"Go for a long stay."

　Good night.I hope the schedule can be adjusted...
