I wanted to embrace my master and return home

Gu Mou left the imperial garden, pretending to be a friend of the prince who returned after leaving the capital for a few years, and casually called a little eunuch to inquire about it, only to find out that the lineage of Prime Minister You who beheaded Ye Fu's family before was also surnamed "Yu". Tiange has also planted a side branch in the imperial palace under his feet, and the number is not small, penetrating more than half of the imperial court.

In the few years after Ye Mansion was ransacked and Ye Xunliang left Qi Shi Kingdom, the emperor was seriously ill and was bedridden, and the Prime Minister You's family gradually showed their true colors. It turned out that what they wanted was not just the military power in the hands of the national teacher, but serious throne.

After the emperor died of illness, looking at the harem's heirs withered, the Yu clan directly overthrew the state system, the right prime minister usurped the throne and seized power, and the ministers who held important positions in the palace were replaced by members of the Yu clan. Didi changed his surname to Yu.

Unexpectedly, Si Tiange had a big appetite, and he was in charge of the upper realm of cultivation, punishing life and death, and was in charge of the lower realm of cultivation.It's no wonder that there are not many schools of cultivating immortals in the Qishi area, and even less of those who have cultivated some famous halls. Usually, the weird cases that happen to eunuchs, and those involving demons and monsters, are reported to Sitian Pavilion. From the beginning of time, Sitiange Yu's hand has already reached out to Qi Shiguo, a precious land with every inch of land and every inch of gold.

Gu Mou came out of the palace and didn't pay attention when he came. Now he saw that most of the people coming and going on the street looked worried. After asking, he found out that after the country changed hands, the tax revenue only increased every year.The people not only had to pay taxes to the palace, but also paid an extra share to Sitiange, the censor institution. Sitiange set up inspectors in every city, and the imperial inspectorate was printed with the Yu family emblem.

After the Yu family took over Qi Shi, they made great efforts to build and expand the territory. Not only did they not decline, but they became more prosperous, but the suffering was indeed the civilians left by the previous dynasty.

"To tell you the truth, the small restaurant run by our family has been getting better and better in recent years, but the income is getting less and less. In the past, I could save a considerable amount of silver every year. After paying the taxes and money in the past few years , it is only enough for the few children in the family to study and make ends meet.” The owner of a restaurant said with a bitter face.

"Yeah, and because my family couldn't pay taxes, my elder brother was arrested and sent to the army. I heard that he went directly to the front line. He hasn't even sent back the family letter. It's said that the military department was afraid that the soldiers would be distracted by their love for their families, so they tore up all of them. Alright." Xiaoer said.

The steward who collected the money also interjected to complain: "Oh, and those members of the Yu clan are really domineering. We all walk around the cultivators we meet on the road, and beat them with whips if we offend them. As if sorry."

"Keep your voice down! If those people hear it, we won't open the store!" The boss looked around in a panic and scolded the diners in a low voice.

Gu Mou sighed, dropped the meal money and left the restaurant.

Walking to Tiansheng Street, compared with the last time, the pavilions on this street have been repaired more magnificently. Although the early years were not as luxurious as they are now, they can still be regarded as the people's living and working in peace and contentment.Nowadays, the common people walking on the street are divided into two extremes. The wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials who are associated with the government are very luxurious and luxurious, while the ordinary people who work are pale, their backs bowed by the pressure of life, and their heads are bowed when they walk.

And Jinyun Temple is no longer a pure place of Buddhism, but has been changed into the largest inspectorate, with a huge Yu family emblem printed on the plaque.

It seems that even if Ye Xunliang obediently stayed in Qi Shiguo, he might not be able to live a good life.

Gu Mou walked to the place where the crime occurred in the file. It was a huge garden built next to the moat. Now it has been blocked layer by layer, and the people are not allowed to approach. Monks, and migrant workers dragging mud trucks in and out.

"Who are you? Where's your badge?" The monk Sitiange guarding the gate stopped him vigilantly.

"I am the lord of the Pavilion of Heavenly Abundance, and I am here to assist in the investigation of the case of the evil wind swallowing people."

The monk wondered: "Impossible, why did the Lord of the Pavilion of Heaven come to us..."

Gu Mou didn't want to waste any time with them, so he took out the Jade Order of the head of the sect with no expression on his face, startled the two monks, and quickly stepped aside and said: "If you are offended, it is really ours to ask you to show the Jade Order. Disrespectful, please come in!"

After entering the garden, I saw the situation clearly. All the lush flowers and plants had been cleared away. There was a big hole in the center of the garden. Four or five migrant workers were digging out the soil. I don't know what they were digging.

Gu Mou said: "If it is really the work of a monster, what is the use of digging this piece of soil?"

"Xianzun, to tell you the truth, there is something wrong with this piece of soil. You can see if the people who dig the soil are all physically strong, but they have dug for four months, and they have only dug such a shallow hole. It is Yulaoge. The Lord ordered it to come down, saying that there is an infinitely powerful martial arts being suppressed here." The monk in charge of reception replied.

"Shenwu?" Gu Mou frowned. He was not interested in Shenwu. Although this thing is rare, it is not a rare thing for the upper cultivation world. Whoever finds it usually belongs to him.

"Yes, the four people who were "eaten" that day were actually eaten by a monster coveting Shenwu. It is said that the monster is hiding under Shenwu, and the land where Shenwu is buried is extremely compacted. , and cast a spell, so we can only dig a little bit."

"The monster is dead, the case has been solved, why not make an announcement?" Gu Mou said.

The monk scratched his head and said: "This... this... I don't know either. The pavilion master just said that there is a god, and then sealed off the place, but said that if someone comes to ask, there is no need to hide the matter of the god. It is also good if someone helps out." , but after all, only a few insignificant people died, and no sect cares about this matter, but you are the first one to see it in person."

"Irrelevant?" Gu Mou looked at him coldly, and said, "It's also under the jurisdiction of your Sitian Pavilion after all, and you call the people insignificant?"

"This... I, we don't mean that..." The monk blushed and couldn't speak fluently.

"What is there to explain to him? An expatriate has nothing to do with Sitiange's affairs!" A domineering voice sounded from behind. Everyone turned their heads, and a man in Sitiange's family robe walked over with his hands behind his back Followed by a group of attendants, and a woman in fine clothes.

It was Yu Yanxi, the young lord of Sitian Pavilion, in a golden robe and black boots, and next to him was the young lord's wife, Mrs. Liu, who just passed the door last month.

It's strange to say that since ancient times, aristocratic families have paid attention to the right family when marrying wives, not to mention the identity of the young master of Sitian Pavilion, but the Liu family married by Yuyanxi can only be called a scholarly family with an innocent family background, and it is Shenshui Palace. The offshoot of the main family is no longer under the jurisdiction of Shenshui Palace, and has no real power in the world of cultivating immortals.

What's more, Liu Peiyun is still a concubine, but the old pavilion master agreed to Yu Yanxi to marry her in. The wedding was held in a grand manner, and there were no seats left. It is conceivable that the two of them are affectionate, and it can be regarded as a good story in the cultivation world.

But when I saw her today, I didn't feel that Yu Yanxi cared much about this woman.

"Didn't you say that outsiders are not allowed to come in? If I hadn't taken the time to come down to visit you today, I wouldn't have known that this place has been reduced to a vegetable market, and anyone can come in and out at will!" Yu Yanxi snorted arrogantly .

"Young Master Yu, I'm just here to investigate the case. Since you have eliminated the demon, why didn't you report it." Gu Mou said coldly.

"Report? Where to report? Our family still needs to report? You have always reported to Si Tiange. When did you have the qualification to listen to Si Tiange's report?"

Yu Yanxi was ten years younger than Gu Mou, and she spoke very aggressively, regardless of what she said, every time she said a word, the monks next to her would tremble in fright, for fear that Gu Mou would turn his back on them and slap them off.

Gu Mou also frowned, he sounded very worried, but he didn't want to fight with a junior himself. He had never seen Yuyanxi before, and only mentioned it a few times from Zhang Sirun. During those years when he was in Qi Shiguo, he was in Tianfu. In the family letter sent by Ge, in addition to Zhang Sichen's report on the monthly situation, there are also Zhang Sirun's fragmentary thoughts, saying that among the monks sent by Sitiange to study, there is Young Master Yu, who is extremely domineering and always noisy when he is only a teenager. Wanting to meet Gu Mou, he said that he admired him very much, and felt that his demeanor, which no one would look up to, had a special personality!

Where did his inexplicable hostility come from now?

"What are you looking at this young master, what kind of eyes are you, you don't look down on this young master, this young master still doesn't look down on you!"

Gu Mou looked at his sword-trenchment, and asked a little puzzled: "When did I despise you, I have never seen you before."

Gu Mou looked down on Si Tiange, but he never took the initiative to attack, and he didn't know when he attracted the hostility.

"This young master got married last month and sent invitations to all the families, except for the Tianfu Zhige twice, but all the other families arrived, only you didn't come, not even a word of congratulations, and you don't even have a congratulations. Who will show the appearance of a person!" Yu Yanxi said with a livid face.

"Strange, if I don't drink your wedding wine, I don't like you? There are too many things that I don't like." Gu Mou sneered. He was traveling when the Yu family sent the invitation, so naturally he couldn't accept it. Arrived, and even if I received it, I didn't bother to join in the fun.

"Do you think that if Tianfuzhige is a little bigger, we can't afford to provoke you? This young master tells you, no matter how powerful you are, don't even think about stepping on Sitiange's head. You are some kind of god, and this young master gets married Just send a second-rate elder to prevaricate, can a school of respected masters look down on people like this?!"

This second-rate elder should be referring to Zhang Sichen. At that time, Zhang Sichen didn't know where he was traveling, so he could only go to congratulate Sitian Pavilion by himself. Gu Mou said indifferently: "I didn't mean not to congratulate, but just outside. I only learned about this from letters, but your ignorance makes me look down on you."

"You... Who are you saying is brainless! Say it again!" Yu Yanxi was so ashamed and indignant at being scolded, her blood surged, and she immediately drew out her sword and rushed over.

Gu Mou waved his sleeve lightly, and as soon as the Yuyanxi man rushed up, he was thrown three feet by the wind in his sleeve, and fell into the big hole that the workers were digging with his sword.

"Husband!"

Liu Peiyun was taken aback, and hurried to the edge of the pit, turned her head and shouted anxiously to the crowd: "Come and save the young master! What are you doing!"

Several monks ran over in a hurry, and the others were too frightened to move any more. The receptionist bowed and apologized with a pale complexion: "Don't blame the Immortal! The young master has always been like this. We didn't hold him and bumped into the Immortal. , it was our fault!"

At this time, Yu Yanxi climbed up on hands and feet, made a mess, was supported by the attendants, and shouted at him angrily: "How dare you treat this young master like this! If my father finds out, I can't spare you! You should What is yourself!"

"If your father knew that his son was so rude to the heads of other sects, he might put you in his mother's womb to be reborn. Sitian Pavilion can raise such an arrogant and ignorant offspring like you, which is an eye-opener for me. !" Gu Mou's words were chilly, and he raised his legs and walked towards him.

Liu Peiyun saw that Wenwen was weak, but at this time he stood up in front of Yuyanxi, and saluted hurriedly with a pale face: "The immortal is calm! My husband is not in good health, and I feel unhappy, so I spoke a little too aggressively, and Peiyun replaced him." I apologize to you!"

"Why are you apologizing to him? He did it first!" Yu Yanxi pushed her away without mercy, and after seeing Gu Mou's icy and horrifying eyes, she suddenly fell silent and took a step back .

"Yes...you were the one who took the initiative against this young master first, this time it's just...forget it..." Yu Yanxi swallowed, stumbled and said.
