Golden Summoner

It's just that after a morning, the Sun family members should not have discovered the disappearance of Sun Hao, and Xia Pingan has already completely changed his appearance in Shangjing.

Xia Pingan took a look at the Dawan Guild Hall more than 100 meters away. Outside the Guild Hall, Tang Long had just gotten into the carriage and sat beside the coachman in front of the carriage, like a bodyguard. The carriage had just left the Guild Hall, and the people sitting in the carriage were the Tang family the elder.

When I was getting a haircut in the shop just now, the mirror in the shop was facing the door of the Dawan Guild hall in the distance. From the reflection of the mirror, Xia Pingan saw the elder of the Tang family come out of the hall and got into the car.

It seemed that the elder of the Tang family would stay in Shangjing for a while, but he didn't know what that elder Tang was doing in Shangjing.

Xia Pingan didn't dare to look any further, he just glanced at it. It was inevitable that people would notice him, so he quickly averted his eyes. He didn't even dare to use his remote viewing ability to follow him. Who knew that the Tang family elder sitting in the car would You won't feel anything, the perception ability of such a master is too terrifying, Xia Pingan doesn't want to startle the snake.

Speaking of stalking, Xia Pingan thought of the boundary bead of the Thousand Fantasy Boy that was still in the warehouse of his own space. Like Xing Sun, he is the strongest scout and stalking tool. Unless he is a strong person above the Seven Suns Realm, no summoner below the Seven Suns Realm will be able to find the Thousand Magic Boy.

If I could fuse that Boundary Bead, summon the Thousand Illusion Boy, and use the Thousand Illusion Boy to stare at that elder of the Tang family, the elder of the Tang family would definitely not find anything.

However, if you want to fuse the Realm Beads, you have to find a place to stay. You can't just find a hotel on the street or just start the fusion. It's too dangerous to fuse the Realm Beads in these crowded places.

There is definitely no way to go back to the apartment. The newly found place must be safe enough, at least not like that apartment. Any cat or dog will dare to find a bunch of bounty hunters and police to surround the apartment. If you want to come It's too dangerous to make dumplings for yourself.

He wanted to find a quiet place where he could not be disturbed when he was merging the Realm Beads to practice. Even if there was garbage like Sun Hao, he would not dare to easily invite the police and bounty hunters to make trouble.

While walking on the street, Xia Pingan was thinking about where to stay.

In the past, when he was looking for a place to stay in Shangjing, his main consideration was cheap, but now this issue can be left behind.

Sun Hao's garbage is like a rich boy. Last night, Xia Pingan counted the things in the space equipment of that guy Sun Hao. In addition to the five or six thousand gold coins, there were almost 3000 gold tickets. Now Xia Pingan , is already a person with a net worth of over ten thousand.

With almost [-] gold coins on him, he can be regarded as a "little rich" person with a little wealth in this capital city, although the money can't buy any very good mansions in the capital city. It is not uncommon for those top-level mansions and real estate properties to cost one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins, and there are not few mansions with hundreds of thousands of gold coins. It is still possible.

In addition to renting a house, the money can also buy a lot of Jiezhu, which can quickly improve one's strength in a short period of time.

Xia Ping'an had already thought about how to use the money.

As for where to live...

Xia Ping'an's head suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a place - Pingshan.

The Judgment Army's camp is in Pingshan, north of Shangjing City.

At the foot of the Ping Mountain, close to the Judgment Army camp, there are quite a few other courtyards. It is the oldest high-end residential area in Shangjing City. Those who can live around the foot of Ping Mountain are either rich or expensive, except for the rich. In addition, at the foot of Ping Mountain, there are many embassy districts in the capital of Dashang, and there are several important government offices of Dashang. The security there is absolutely top-notch.

If he had lived at the foot of the Ping Mountain near the Judgment Army camp before, and that Sun Hao had given him ten guts, he wouldn't have dared to find a bunch of people to block the road casually, and give himself a siege .

Would those bounty hunters and policemen dare to make trouble under the eyes of the Judgment Army? Absolutely not.

I am a member of the Shadow Guard of the Judgment Army. In case of an emergency, I can still find an organization and backer nearby.

Seeing a high-end ready-to-wear store on the street, Xia Pingan went straight to the store.

A few minutes later, Xia Pingan came out of the shop again, with a different appearance——Xia Pingan was wearing a double-breasted black silk gown and straight black trousers. Inside the gown was a purple silk vest and a white shirt. shirt, a section of silver pocket watch chain protruding from the inner lining of the robe, and around the waist is a custom-made rhinoceros leather belt with a gold lion head and white jade buckle.

Wearing this outfit worth more than five gold coins, it feels like two words - exquisite.Let people know that they are rich at a glance.

Xia Pingan directly called a carriage on the street, and let the carriage go directly to Pingshan.

In the wealthy districts at the foot of Ping Shan, there are also dental agencies that sell and rent houses.

……

More than an hour later, Xia Pingan stopped the carriage at the entrance of a high-end dental shop. Xia Pingan, who was wearing several gold coins, got off the carriage. As soon as he entered the dental shop, there was an enthusiastic welcome. welcome up.

In the world of the rich, everything can be done smoothly, and the people around are full of kindness, patience and thoughtfulness.

Xia Pingan just stated his request, and soon, the people in the dental office took out a lot of prepared houses and apartment types for Xia Pingan to choose.

Xia Pingan looked through the materials brought out by the dental office, and picked out a house from them.

That house is a small courtyard with a single family, blue tiles and high walls, which has the temperament of Huizhou architecture. The small courtyard is in an alley, and there are luxury houses on both sides.

"How do you rent this house?"

The man in Yaya immediately started talking, "Ah, sir, you are too discerning. The owner of this courtyard was an official of the Protocol Department of the court. He retired and returned to his hometown. He just moved out last month." , so I kept this house for my children and grandchildren to study in the capital. The yard is next to Pingshan Mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer, surrounded by several embassies. There is only less than one mu of land, but there are two floors in this small courtyard, as well as a basement. The furniture is ready-made, which is suitable for a decent person like you. Our dental office sends people to clean the house every few days. The house is clean and you can move in at any time, and the price of this set is not expensive, only 130 gold coins a year, and the deposit is 200 gold coins..."

130 gold coins a year is indeed not expensive for Xia Pingan now. Even if he lives here for ten years, it will be less than [-] gold coins, but for ordinary people, this is a sky-high price.

Without much effort, Xia Pingan rented the yard directly after drinking two cups of tea in the tooth shop and chatting for a few words. After the tooth shop lowered the annual rent by 6 gold coins.

Thinking of the boundary bead to be fused, Xia Pingan gave himself a pseudonym, also called Yangcheng.

The people from the dental shop helped to clean up the house and prepare to buy things for moving in. In the evening, Xiaopingan got the key and settled down in the yard again.

What satisfied Xia Ping'an the most was the basement in the yard, which was actually the summoner's practice room. There was a secret door in the basement, which could be locked from the inside, so it was not easy for outsiders to enter.

As soon as the people from the tooth shop left, Xia Pingan came to the basement, sat cross-legged on the warming bed for training, took out the boundary bead that could summon the Thousand Illusionary Boy, and began to fuse...

At the same time, after disappearing for a day, the members of the Sun family finally discovered that the son of the Sun family, Sun Hao, and the bodyguards around Sun Hao were missing...

The Sun family sent people to look for it, but they only found Sun Hao's carriage.

Chapter 196 First Arrival in Daozhou

"Master, the Daozhou City is ahead. I saw many people in the official post in front, and the banners were flying. It seems that the officials from Daozhou City came to welcome the master..."

The wheeled carriage was driving on the official road, and Zheng Ti, who was driving in front, lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, and said to Xia Pingan in the carriage.

"Understood, just stop at the official post in front..." Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Zheng Ti and ordered.

Zheng Ti, who was driving, nodded and continued to drive.

Xia Pingan looked at Han Yu's "On Advising Officials" in his hand, reading it with gusto.

This Han Yu's article is really excellent, even if he wrote this article to scold himself, but this "On Admonishing Officials" is also impeccably written. When it came to "Shangshu", Han Yu picked up the words, scolded himself all over, and made himself speechless.

Seeing Xia Pingan reading Han Yu's article, Xue Yue, who was also sitting in the carriage, couldn't help it, "...then Han Yu's "On Admonishing Officials" satirized the teacher's position as an advising doctor. That treacherous Prime Minister Pei Yanling framed Mr. Lu, the civil and military courts, everyone knows that Mr. Lu was wronged, but only the teacher dared to stand up to argue for Mr. Lu, and denounced the traitor. I don't know where Han Yu's face will go this time put?"

Xia Pingan smiled, "Xue Yue, you are too straightforward and too hot-tempered. You are not a sage. I have been an advising doctor for many years. I have never spoken. Han Yu can't understand it. Write an article and scold me. The sentence is also normal, Han Yu's article is very well written, you should learn more!"

"Why didn't the teacher refute Han Yu at the beginning?"

"It's all about doing something and not doing it. You have to remember that admonishing an official is like a sword. When you meet someone who doesn't like sharpening a sword, the sword is usually used a lot, and the sword will not be sharp. How can you overcome thorns and thorns at critical moments? In the position of an admonishing doctor, this risky admonition can prevent His Majesty from doing foolish things, prevent Lu Zhi and others from being harmed by Pei Yanling, and prevent His Majesty from becoming a faint king who killed loyal ministers in vain, that's enough!"

"Teacher, who is the one who sharpens the sword?"

"Taizong likes to sharpen his sword, and Wei Zheng is sharp!" Xia Pingan said.

Xue Yue seemed to have realized something, but still looked angrily, "Everyone knows that Pei Yanling is a treacherous, flattering, incompetent, and good at manipulating people. Back then, the treacherous prime minister was an envoy, but he just made some books and accounts to fool His Majesty. It didn't increase a bit, but let His Majesty think that he has good financial management skills, and he is promoted and reused one after another. The traitor should be killed and demoted. The teacher wrote a letter to impeach the traitor this time. Could it be that His Majesty has not woken up..."

Xia Pingan looked at Xue Yue, but he was thinking in his heart that this Xue Yue's temper was really upright, if he hadn't kept him by his side to teach him all the time, this Xue Yue would have been convicted for his words at this moment and be demoted to the sidelines.

I don't know if I can change the fate of Xue Yue, and if the divine power I get will increase after the successful fusion of the Jiezhu this time.

Except for the student Xue Yue, Zheng Ti, who is now driving as his servant, has died long ago according to historical records.

What happened to Zheng Ti should be the most annoying thing in Yangcheng's life. This Zheng Ti was originally a loyal and upright person. Because he had no money to bury his father, Yang Cheng was still living in seclusion in Xiayang Mountain. After helping him bury his father, this Zheng Ti was willing. Being a slave and servant, serving Yangcheng around, but Yangcheng is loyal and unwilling to repay favors, only willing to treat Zheng Ti as a student, and teach Zheng Ti to read, study "Book of Songs" and "Guofeng", but Zheng Ti is indeed not a material for reading, and in the end I felt sorry for Yangcheng's teachings, and I couldn't study further, so I was so ashamed that I hanged myself.

The death of Zheng Ti was also the most annoying thing for Lord Yangcheng in his life. When Zheng Ti died, Lord Yangcheng held a funeral for him, and even took off his clothes to plead guilty in Zheng Ti's mourning hall, and asked the servants around him to whip himself with thorns to make atonement.

This time, Xia Pingan will not let the tragedy happen again by merging this boundary bead. After helping Zheng Ti to bury his father in Xiayang Mountain, Xia Pingan accepted Zheng Ti and asked Zheng Ti to be a servant by his side. If he doesn't study, but only works, then Zheng Ti really does his best, and he has been alive and well until now.

In fact, there are two most difficult parts of merging this Jiezhu. One is knowing when to risk your life to speak out after being recruited by the imperial court in Yangcheng to become an admonishing doctor and then get the chance to be demoted to Daozhou. The second is to be demoted After arriving in Daozhou, I knew what to do to relieve the suffering of the people in Daozhou.

The Thousand Illusion Boy summoned by this Boundary Bead should be related to the dwarf who was paid tribute to the imperial court by the people of Daozhou...

……

Soon, the carriage arrived at the official post in front. There were more than 100 officials from Daozhou City and the flag bearers gathered here to welcome the arrival of the new governor.

Xia Pingan got off the carriage, took out the seal, and showed his identity. The officials in Daozhou City greeted Xia Ping'an, opened the way, and prepared to go back to Daozhou City.

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Pingan was already thinking about where to start when he arrived in Daozhou. The dismissal of tribute was no small matter, involving various interests. The officials under him and the observers above him might be involved. Since Emperor Yangdi, Daozhou has been paying tribute to dwarves. All the dwarf figurines in Tang Dynasty come from Daozhou. According to later generations, dwarfs have formed an industrial chain in Daozhou. Many people get rich by paying tribute to dwarves. I came this time to cut off the way for many people to get promoted and get rich.

Those officials and guards of honor who greeted Xia Ping'an walked on the official road with majesty, making the people along the way look sideways.

In less than an hour, Xia Ping'an's carriage followed those officials to the east gate of Daozhou City.

After walking for such a long time, with the scorching sun above their heads, the flag players were all wilted, but they barely kept their spirits up.

Just when the convoy was about to enter the city, suddenly, a woman rushed out from the side of the city gate, knelt down in front of the guard of honor, and cried loudly, "The women have been wronged, please let the governor give the women Make the decision!"

Seeing that this happened to the newly appointed Lord Inspector just after he entered the city, the officials who welcomed Xia Ping'an turned green all of a sudden.

"Where did you come from, drag me away..." An official on a horse sneered, and was about to order the woman blocking the way to be dragged away from the city gate.

"Wait a minute..." The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xia Pingan had already got out of the carriage, directly past the officials and the bannermen, to the place where the wronged woman was kneeling, and took a look at the woman.

The woman kneeling on the ground was in her twenties, with a coarse linen skirt, rough hands and face, and a dusty face. At first glance, she should be a peasant woman from the countryside near Daozhou City. She must have been waiting here for a long time.

"I am the newly appointed governor of Daozhou, Yangcheng, and the entire Daozhou is under my rule!" Xia Pingan glanced at the people watching the excitement around him, said loudly, and then reached out to help the woman, "You have Why are you wronged, why are you blocking the way, you can get up and talk about it!"

"Mister He begs my lord to make the decision for me..." The woman kneeling on the ground didn't get up at all, but kowtowed and wailed loudly. Green and covered with dust, "My child just turned one year old and was snatched away, please help me get my child back, woo woo woo woo, if I don't have a child, I don't want to live anymore, woo Woooo..."

"According to my "Laws of the Tang Dynasty", all plunderers and plunderers who are slaves and slaves will be strangled; Say it, I will definitely decide for you, I want to see, who in this Daozhou city is so bold?" Xia Pingan probably knew who did it, but he still said Tang Lv loudly , The righteous speech is strict, which makes the surrounding people a little commotion.

"The woman's child was snatched away by that person and a few police officers!" The woman raised her head and pointed at one of the officials standing behind Xia Ping'an.

Xia Pingan turned his head and looked at the officials of Daozhou City behind him.

There are quite a few officials who came to greet him today, all of them are from the governor's office in Daozhou. There are officials of the Six Caos, such as the judiciary and the secretary, as well as some minor officials.

The person that the woman pointed at was the Sihu of the Six Caos of the Governor's Mansion. The position of the Sihu was to count the household registration of the population. In Xia Ping'an's eyes, he was a small official like a sesame mung bean, but in the eyes of ordinary people In the eyes, this kind of small official is also a great big shot.

Sihu from Daozhou City is a pig-like man in his 30s, with foamy eyes, black eye bags, and a fat stomach. At that time, this Sihu introduced himself. Xia Ping'an still remembered this guy as Wang Qi.

Seeing the woman pointing at him, and Lord Inspector looking over at him, that Sihu Wang Qi's expression changed, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. I have never done anything to kidnap children!"

"Then why did she correct you?" Xia Pingan asked calmly, "Are you saying that she falsely accused you? If she falsely accused you, I can also decide for you and punish her innocently!"

"It's you, just ten days ago, you came to my house with a few policemen, snatched away my child, injured me with an iron ruler, pushed me to the ground, and I will die if you turn into ashes I recognize it, the neighbors around my house can testify..." The woman looked at the Sihu, gritted her teeth, wiped her tears, and directly in front of everyone, she tore off her clothes, revealing a bruise on her shoulders "Look, my lord, this is the mark left by that person beating me with an iron ruler. Poor my husband died of illness when the child was just one month old. Now they are coming to snatch my child again. God, I am What sin did you do, why did you treat me like this..."

The women rushed to the ground and howled, their voices were mournful, causing those around to hear her to look at her with sympathy, and many women onlookers almost shed tears when they heard it.

And with such a commotion, more and more people were watching at the gate of the city. With a blink of an eye, people on the inner, outer, and outer floors were surrounded.

"This... this..." The Sihu's forehead was sweating, and he looked at his colleagues around him for help, especially the Sicang official, but the Sicang official turned his eyes away, not wanting to take the trouble, seeing Xia Ping'an's gaze became cold, and that Sihu Wang Qi could only falter and say, "Lord Inspector... this... can you go back to the official office and explain this to your lord..."

"Where I am in the Tang Dynasty, under the emperor's empress land, there is a place of reason. The place where my official is located is the court. Why do you have to go to the Yamen to talk about it!" Xia Pingan said loudly, murderous and righteous, and what he said The countless onlookers around were shocked, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now. In front of the countless people in Daozhou City in this city, you can explain it to me now. If you don't explain it clearly, I will immediately say it." I want your head for the crime of plundering!"

Hearing what Xia Pingan said, that Sihu Wang Qi gritted his teeth, lowered his head and argued, "My lord... my lord... I didn't rob people. This official is... preparing a tribute for His Majesty!"

Actually carried out the emperor and the tribute?

Xia Pingan has been staring at that Wang Qi's face, looking at that Wang Qi's face, Xia Pingan sneered in his heart, actually wanted to use the emperor and the tribute to suppress me, you are in front of so many people, don't say the emperor and the tribute are still Well, if you say it now, you are looking for death.You probably don't know how you passed the Jinshi exam.

"When did my Tang Dynasty use children and young children as tributes? I came to Chang'an just now, why didn't I know?" Xia Pingan asked.

"This...this...children and toddlers can't be used as tributes, but dwarf figurines can. You must have seen those dwarf figurines in Chang'an City. Those dwarf figurines were trained by those children. It's the soil offering from our Daozhou City!" This Sihu Wang Qi actually had a needle hidden in his cotton, and wanted to turn himself against him.

"Oh, is that so?" Xia Pingan smiled, "So, you admit that you once robbed this woman's child?"

"My lord, it's not about robbery, it's about collecting soil for tribute!" Sihu Wang Qi continued to argue.

Xia Pingan asked the woman who complained, "He took your child away, did he give you money and silk?"

The woman shook her head, "No, these people always rob children directly..."

When Xia Pingan heard this, his face turned cold for an instant, and he pointed directly at Sihu Wang Qi, "Come here, take this traitor who robs people down for me!"

The officials and servants who greeted Xia Pingan looked at each other for a while, but they didn't move.

Xia Pingan looked at Daozhou City's military recorder and the yamen's guard, "Disobeying the governor's order is tantamount to rebellion. Why, under the eyes of the people of Daozhou City, you two want to be like him. Want to rebel?"

The recorder of the governor's mansion joins the army and is responsible for monitoring Liu Cao, while the head of the guard team directly obeys the governor's orders. Hearing Xia Ping'an's crime of treason, the two officials were all excited, and without a word, they quickly ordered the guards , and pushed that Sihu Wang Qi to the ground.

"My lord, I don't agree. You can't take me. I'm collecting tribute for the imperial court. I didn't commit a crime, I didn't commit a crime..." Sihu Wang Qi was pushed to his knees, still yelling.

"According to the imperial court's decree, the contributions of the counties are all produced from the local land, and the price of the quasi-silk is not more than fifty horses. The regular system is here to stay. It has been added to this, and the rent and tax are also discounted. Don’t levy subjects. You say that the purpose of plundering people is to pay tribute. Then let me ask you, where is the compensation that the court gave to the people who paid tribute? , Why didn’t it go to the woman? Dare to embezzle the soil offering compensation for His Majesty, it is also a capital crime!”

Sihu Wang Qi's expression changed instantly, "This... this..."

Sihu Wang Qi couldn't tell, because the so-called compensation to the people had already been swallowed up, how could it be distributed, and embezzling so much court land for compensation was also a capital crime.

"You keep saying that the purpose of robbing children is to pay tribute, but the imperial court stipulates that the price of land offerings should not exceed [-] horses, and at the same time stipulates that the government's levy should compensate the loss of property of the tribute. You abduct children and don't discount the rent , do not pay silk property, how is this different from thieves who rob people? You keep saying that this is for your majesty and the court, but in fact you are doing this beastly thing under the banner of your majesty, deceiving your majesty and letting your majesty He and the imperial court are separated from the people of Daozhou, causing the people of Daozhou to be separated from their flesh and blood, and also slandering the reputation of His Majesty and the court, this crime should be punished!"

Xia Pingan pointed at Sihu Wang Qi, "As an official of the imperial court, if you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated. Come on, kill this animal stick here immediately, and give an explanation to the people of Daozhou!"

The guards holding down Sihu Wang Qi hesitated for a moment, but still pressed Wang Qi to the ground, and beat Sihu Wang Qi with a stick, making Sihu Wang Qi scream loudly.

At the beginning, the guards didn't dare to use too much force, and kept their hands and feet tied.

"Xue Yue, this Wang Qi has done a lot of evil, if there are any accomplices in the governor's office, check it out for me when you get back!" Xia Pingan said directly to Xue Yue who was next to him.

"Yes, my lord!" Xue Yue replied beside him.

Hearing this, the faces of some officials around changed again, and the strength in the hands of those guards exploded, and they began to hit him with all the strength they could.

Wang Qi, who was screaming loudly just now, only had the strength to hum after screaming a few times. Later, that Wang Qi didn't even have the strength to hum, and he was completely silent.

In front of all the people in Daozhou City, as soon as Xia Ping'an arrived in Daozhou City, he shot the evil officials at the gate of the city, deterring all the officials in the governor's office.
