Great Wei scholar

This is a universal book in the world, which records many things, including national power, division of different races, various cultivation systems, and so on.

There are a total of 170 five volumes, each volume is divided into upper, middle and lower volumes, and each volume is extremely thick, twenty or thirty times that of normal books.

Since it's fine, Xu Qingxiao intends to read more books to understand some things, it's impossible to really sit still.

In one day, Xu Qingxiao finished reading the first volume, and learned a lot, knowing the division of forces in the world.

The layout of the entire world consists of five major plates.

Eastern State, Southern State, Western State, Northern State, and Central State.

Each big state is blocked by sea water, so it is five different big plates.

However, the Zhongzhou plate is the largest, and the combined area of ​​the four states in the southeast and northwest is just the same as the area of ​​Zhongzhou.

Therefore, since ancient times, Zhongzhou has been the land of Longxing, and it is also known as a holy land.

The five major states are too involved, and we can’t finish talking about three days and three nights, and they are relatively quiet with each other. After all, there are internal troubles and foreign enemies. They are as strong as the Great Wei, and they have not unified Zhongzhou, let alone conquering the whole world. What idiots say in their dreams.

Just conquering the entire Zhongzhou is an unparalleled difficulty.

In the five divisions of Zhongzhou, the Great Wei Dynasty was established in the central region, occupying the best resources, the Tuxie Dynasty occupied the eastern region, and the Chuyuan Dynasty occupied the northern region. These two countries must be singled out. Wei didn't dare to move.

Especially now it's even more troublesome.

The southern region is the poorest, and there are deserts everywhere, and many evil cultivators are in the southern region, which is relatively chaotic and not a place for normal people to go. Fortunately, the Buddhist lineage is in the south. It's already been played out.

As for the west, it is a paradise on the sea, the archipelago is the king, there are hundreds of countries, and some of them have surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, for example, in Fanbang, the Hu people are all from the west.

When the Great Wei was at its strongest, it did indeed conquer the kingdom of heaven on the sea.

And Xu Qingxiao is most concerned about the Immortal Dao forces are also recorded, there are seven holy places in Immortal Dao.

Taishang Shengzong, Zhantianjianzong, Ruyiqizong, Tiangu Danzong, Taicangfuzong, Qixing Daozong, Guiyuanzhenzong.

Each of the Seven Great Sacred Lands is king in different domains, but the Supreme Sacred Sect and the Seven Star Dao Sect are essentially the same. The two compete with each other, and the rest do not interfere with each other. After all, they have different professions.

And the mountain gate where the seven holy sects are located does not belong to any dynastic force, it is equivalent to a separate force, does not fight for power, and cultivates immortality behind closed doors.

The three major dynasties also have their shadows. In the Great Wei Dynasty, the Dao Supervisor is where they settled down, and they will also accept some tasks issued by the dynasty on weekdays.

Then they will release the task, and if they think the price is right, they will accept the task, but the Supervision Department is set up in the suburbs of the capital, and they don't like to be in the busy city, which Xu Qingxiao can understand.

As a cultivator, I always like to be clean.

Close the book.

I have to say that this dusty tome is a good thing. If I read it all, I don't say I am proficient in everything, but at least I know a thing or two about everything.

Okay, try to finish this book.

Get up, leave work, clean and tidy.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Nan comes or not. Waiting for Yang Hu and Yang Bao to join the job, relying on Zhou Nan is unreliable.

After returning home.

Yang Hu and the others did not come back, Xu Qingxiao waited for an hour before they appeared in front of them.

Just like yesterday, I still failed to join the job today, the reason and excuse are still the same, I am busy with business.

"continue."

Xu Qingxiao only left two sentences, and then continued to read the book.

eighth day.

As always, what made Xu Qingxiao a little curious was that Zhou Nan still didn't show up, but for Xu Qingxiao who was addicted to reading, it didn't matter.

Yang Hu and Yang Bao are still not employed.

The ninth day.

same as usual.

tenth day.

Have a holiday.

No.11.

same as usual.

No.12.

same as usual.

……

No.15.

It's the same, but the brother sent a letter, telling Nanyu Prefecture that there are several counties asking for teacher Zhou Ling to give lectures, so he will come later.

Li Xin also sent a letter saying that the waterwheel project has been completely completed, and now we are waiting for the results. It looks good so far, at least the crops can enjoy the water source.

Zhou Nan disappeared for eight days, a little weird, ask him what he has been up to after get off work?There is a high probability that he resigned from office. The job is too hard, and there are no people around him. It is normal to resign.

After get off work, I asked someone to ask about Zhou Nan's situation. If no one paid attention to me, I went home.

No. 16th...

outside the school.

"Today, if you go to join the job again, you can go directly to the official staff member Wailang, whoever you want, give him my token and tell them that it has been delayed for ten days. If you can't do it today, I will go in person tomorrow."

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Except for reading a lot of books, the rest of the stunned made no progress. The Ministry of Punishment aired himself for sixteen days, and the Ministry of Officials aired his subordinates for ten days.

And it's all trivial things.

If big things left him alone, Xu Qingxiao would not have any fluctuations, but this kind of trivial matter stuck with him, it seemed a bit ugly.

But it's okay.

It's almost time, Xu Qingxiao doesn't plan to toss about like this anymore, he wants to start working.

"Yes! Your lord!"

Yang Hu and the others nodded. They were also extremely irritable in the past ten days. Only one of them had been delayed for ten days, and the salary was okay. The main reason was that this feeling made people very uncomfortable.

Without saying anything, Xu Qingxiao left the school directly.

Go to the punishment department.

As in the past, enter your own master room and prepare for a new day of study.

However, a letter appeared on the long table.

It's Zhou Nan's letter of resignation.

For Zhou Nan's resignation, Xu Qingxiao was not too surprised. After all, it was Zhou Nan's fate to follow him. It's fine if he didn't do good things for himself. He was still angry outside, and he could persist for such a long time. It can be seen that Zhou Nan is genuine. love this job.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have dragged on for so long.

"Forget it, go see him."

Xu Qingxiao didn't read the content of the resignation letter, since it's fine anyway, why don't you go and see Zhou Nan and apologize, after all, you are the one who hurt Zhou Nan anyway.

Otherwise, even if he is unpopular, he will not resign.

Walking out of the main room, Xu Qingxiao looked at the officials walking back and forth, and blocked anyone at random.

"Do you know where Zhou Nan's family lives?"

Xu Qingxiao asked, very straightforward, he knew that the punishment department was against him, everyone probably knew not to provoke him, so Xu Qingxiao didn't talk about anything, so as not to suffer from it.

"Zhou Nan? My lord, my subordinates don't know, and I have to deliver letters. I hope my lord will forgive me."

Seeing Xu Qingxiao standing in front of him, the scroll official was a little flustered, especially when Zhou Nan was mentioned, there was a strange flash in his eyes.

Almost instantly, Xu Qingxiao realized that something was wrong.

"Tell what you know. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you don't say it, even if this official has no right, it's still easy to get rid of you as an official."

"You should know that you have a very good relationship with me, right?"

Xu Qingxiao's tone became inexplicably cold, and he said a word firmly.

"This... this... my lord, this subordinate really..."

The scroll official wanted to explain, but seeing Xu Qingxiao's extremely cold gaze, he couldn't help swallowing.

"My lord Xu, this matter is nothing. Zhou Nan went to the file vault every day to get files. Because he made a few mistakes, he was punished by the treasury with [-] sentences. Now he is recuperating at home, and the Ministry of Punishment has also dismissed him from his post."

"Master Xu, this matter really has nothing to do with me. The subordinates don't know the specifics at all. I hope you will let the subordinates go."

The other party said with some trepidation.

"Twenty punishments?"

In an instant, Xu Qingxiao's eyes became colder and colder.

Zhou Nan is not a warrior, but just an ordinary person. The Ministry of Punishment's punishment is not a joke. It doesn't mean that the skin is bruised, but it will definitely be purple and bruised.

"Where does he live?"

Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.

"I live in Linhe Street, so I really don't know the specific subordinates."

The scroll official spoke in a weeping tone, and it seemed that he really didn't know.

Xu Qingxiao didn't say anything, he walked directly outside the Ministry of Punishment.

Linhe Street was not too far away, so Xu Qingxiao quickened his pace a little, and arrived at Linhe Street two quarters of an hour later, asked the people about it, and found Zhou Nan's house not long after.

Zhou Nan's house is a place similar to a courtyard house, with more than a dozen families living together, it is impossible for him to have a house in Kyoto with his salary.

Walking into the courtyard, there are children playing, some old people basking in the sun, and a few young people are doing some coolies, repairing tile houses and so on.

Seeing an official Xu Qingxiao approaching, everyone was a little surprised and at a loss for no reason.

"May I ask where Zhou Nan's house is?"

Xu Qingxiao asked everyone with a gentle expression.

"Zhou Nan's house? My lord, it's right there."

Someone came back to his senses and pointed to the second room on the left.

"Thank you."

Xu Qingxiao nodded, thanked her, and walked directly to the front of the room.

Knocked on the door and waited.

Soon, a voice sounded, relatively weak.

"Who?"

It's a female voice.

"The head of the criminal department, Xu Qingxiao."

Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and revealed her identity.

When the door opened, a woman looked at her in surprise. The woman's eyes were red and she looked haggard. She looked at Xu Qingxiao with surprise and curiosity.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

The woman spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.

"I have something to discuss with Zhou Nan."

Xu Qingxiao spoke.

"Sir, please come in."

Hearing that she was looking for her husband-in-law, the woman didn't dare to say anything, she turned sideways to let Xu Qingxiao in.

After entering the room, a strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils.

Immediately after that, there was a person lying on the bed, and it was Zhou Nan.

"My lord! Why are you here?"

Zhou Nan's weak voice sounded, he wanted to leave, but soon the wound was involved, and he frowned instantly.
