[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The Road to Powerful Ministers

Eagle-eyed Seventh's control over the Twelve Links is still in place. Ever since Tianfengtang crashed a civilian ship and it was reported that he was being targeted by Jianyitang, he immediately went to Tianfengtang to sit in command. "There is no news at this time, even if you are worried about the situation of other branch halls, Eagle Eye Lao Qi has nothing to do.

"You don't need to worry about the other branches, it's useless to worry." Lu Xiaofeng comforted without sincerity: "Think about how to get through this one first."

"Since you are here, I just have something to ask for your help—help me find the traitor." Hawkeye Lao Qi said without hesitation: "Nowadays, most of the senior elders and rudder leaders in the church have been arrested. They are all the original middle-level gang members. To be honest, I don’t know their details. I want to find out the traitor, but I am not smart enough, and I am afraid of causing public anger or arousing everyone’s suspicion. At this time, nothing else can go wrong."

Lu Xiaofeng gave him a strange look, and said, "Isn't the most important thing now is to repel Jian Yitang's attack?"

"In order to prevent the outside world, you must first be safe inside."

"Then I'd better go, originally I wanted to take you to see Yun Weixi..." Lu Xiaofeng made a gesture to leave.

"What, what, come back, stop!" Eagle-eyed Lao Qi heard this, it's okay, he grabbed Lu Xiaofeng and refused to let him go, and asked anxiously: "Can you take me to see Yun Weijue?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Lu Xiaofeng said confidently, before the Eagle-eyed Seventh got angry, he added: "I will figure it out."

Eagle-eyed Lao Qi firmly believed in Lu Xiaofeng's wise plan, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I am not a fool, the reason why I am in a hurry to find out the traitor is because Jian Yitang is surrounded but not attacked, they must wait for some time or someone , or you just want to negotiate. When you emerge from the water, I will know that you are the leader of the negotiation."

It's not easy for the eagle-eyed old seventh to be the leader of waterways in several provinces, and he can hit the nail on the head with a few words.

"Yes, yes, yes, eagle-eyed old seven, you are wise and powerful, and you really expected well, then I am the emperor, so don't worry about eunuchs?" Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and said, coming with him risking his death, everything is under the control of others bingo?God knows how nervous he was when he swam over and saw someone blocking the way out when he turned around. Who knew if Yun Weizhen would kill him directly.

"Hahaha, Lu Xiaofeng, I believe in you, only Lu Xiaofeng, it can only be Lu Xiaofeng with such loyalty for my friends!" Eagle-eyed Seventh laughed loudly, praising Lu Xiaofeng's chivalry and ability.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him sideways, and said leisurely, "Is the spy still looking for it?"

"When are we going to see Yun Weixuan?"

"Tomorrow morning, Yuyang Tower." Lu Xiaofeng said briefly.

"Then I won't look for it anymore, I don't have enough time." Hawkeye Lao Qi is also a decisive person.

"You have to think clearly, put it on the table and talk about what to give, what to give up, and where the bottom line is. You have to know it yourself." Lu Xiaofeng was very worried. Lipstick survives. "I have to remind you that there are no worthy men under a great reputation, Yun Wei is a good eloquent, with a tongue as sharp as a knife, even I can hardly gain the upper hand."

"Could it be that you want to stand by and watch?"

"I'm just a guide, a guide! I'm a matchmaker, you've already met your master, what do you want me to do? I can be your master or his master." Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and said, "Okay Eagle-eyed old seventh, what good is there, so you tricked me into working hard, today you can't keep your wine, see if I have a drop left for you?"

Lu Xiaofeng pretended to be angry and went into the wine cellar, leaving Eagle-eyed Lao Qi outside the door pacing and thinking.

Now that Eagle Eye Seventh has made a decision, he won't let Lu Xiaofeng do what he wants, and he will go to the front to appease the gang.

"Boss, what can Daxia Lu do?" Seeing the eagle-eyed seventh brother come out, everyone couldn't help asking, it's a matter of life and death, so we must be in a hurry.

"Don't worry, I already have a countermeasure." Hawkeye Lao Qi made a confident gesture.

"Boss, what should we do? Tell us, and we will follow your orders." A big man with beards shouted.If it wasn't for Hawkeye's Seventh being familiar with him, he would have suspected that this guy was a traitor. Did you ask so blatantly?Fortunately, Hawkeye Lao Qi knew that this guy was just a straight person, and he couldn't turn at all.

"Oh, I can't say it yet, you just have to wait." Eagle Eye Seventh sighed.

"Why can't we say that the boss doesn't trust us?"

"I still have to wait, there is no food, and I can't get food out of the water. If I wait any longer, I will starve to death."

"Yes, the most important thing is to fill your belly!"

The middle-level gang members of Tianfengtang started a row, and the eagle-eyed old seventh was not sure whether it was provoked by someone among them, or if everyone's emotions were unstable, so he had to show the momentum of the boss and shouted sharply: "What are you arguing about?" I naturally have my own plans for doing things! Now that Jian Yitang has surrounded us, I'm afraid he has planted nails in it long ago. You guys are so noisy, how can you know that you have fallen into the trap!"

The eagle-eyed old seventh looked around, and the people in the hall looked around, subconsciously distanced themselves from the people next to them, and couldn't tell anything just by looking at the surface.He said in a soft tone: "Brothers, don't worry, I have already figured out a way, and I will definitely give you an explanation the morning after tomorrow at the latest. If brothers still believe in me and obey me as the boss, just wait quietly! Do your job, don't let people take advantage of your loopholes!"

Eagle-eyed Laoqi was one tough and soft, and he guaranteed the deadline himself, which made the helpers feel at ease a lot.Someone resigned immediately, saying that he would strengthen the guard.They are from the Jianghu, and they can still bear it if they don't eat for a day or two.

……

"Master, it's time for dinner." In the evening, he resolutely came over to ask Yun Weizhen to eat.

"No rush, I'll wait for Guo Ping to come back. You still have tasks to do, so eat first." Yun Weijue said without raising his head as he was reading a book.

"They are all martial arts practitioners, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later." Kungfu has reached the level of resoluteness, and appetite is no longer paid much attention to.

"You guys, you just don't know how to take care of yourself. When you get old, it's too late to regret it." Yun Weizhen shook her head with a smile. When she was 20 years old, she always felt that she was made of iron. When she was 40 years old, life and body forced you to become a health care provider. expert.

"The young master is younger than us." Resolutely said with a simple and honest smile, which was teasing Yun Weijuan for being too young.

Yun Weizhen shook his head and said nothing, seeing that he was determined not to eat, he raised his head from the book, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Master, can Lu Xiaofeng bring Hawkeye Seventh tomorrow? Our defense is so tight..."

"You, you and Shan Ran are indeed brothers, and you ask the same questions. Don't worry, if you don't trust Lu Xiaofeng, you have to trust my vision. Don't worry. Just keep an eye on Lu Xiaofeng. If he can find the loopholes, it's a gift." We have checked for omissions and made up for vacancies, and we need to be more diligent in our actions in the future." Yun Weizhen explained again, resolutely, are they too confident?From the establishment of Jianyitang to the present, it has been smooth sailing. Even if there are setbacks, they are small problems. Many things are solved by Yun Weizhen. Have you spoiled them?

The idea of ​​letting them suffer setbacks and education stayed in Yun Weixuan's mind for a second, and he cleared his mind. Jian Yitang can't go wrong, and he represents the face of the court.If you want to hone your subordinates, don't seek quick success, but accumulate more. No matter how bad it is, when they start to establish a school, they will always have to deal with these problems. After sitting in that seat, they will naturally know how to use their brains to solve problems by themselves.

After all, Yun Weijue didn't wait for Guo Ping to come back for dinner. After dinner alone, he went back to recuperate. Tomorrow will be a tough battle.

The next day, when the sky was getting brighter, Yun Weijue got up and had breakfast according to his usual routine. He was on the fifth floor of Yuyang Building overlooking the lake and mountains when Guo Ping came back.

Yun Weijue didn't have time to chat with Guo Ping, and his subordinates came to report again that Lu Xiaofeng and Eagle Eye Laoqi had arrived.

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Eagle-eyed Seventh changed into new clothes, dressed grandly, Yun Weijue could even smell the fragrance on them, so, where did Lu Xiaofeng buy this outfit, could a bosom friend in the brothel help?

"Master Yun, don't come here without any problems." Lu Xiaofeng first bowed his hands and said hello, and then said in Guo Ping's direction: "Master Guo."

"Eagle-eyed Seventh has met Master Yun and Master Guo." Eagle-eyed Seventh also followed Lu Xiaofeng to salute and say hello. Guo Ping's identity was a court official with a military position, but she was only stationed in Yunfu.But who doesn't know that Guo Ping was trained by Yun Weijue alone, and coupled with his status as a master, no one can ignore his existence regardless of the court.But Guo Ping is still willing to be Yun Weijuan's shadow, making many people who fail to sow discord feel sorry.

"You two don't need to be too polite, please." Yun Weizhuo led the two of them to the viewing balcony. This Yuyang Tower is his property, and the repair is naturally in line with his preferences. There is a big viewing platform on the fifth floor. Now, snacks and tea have been placed on it, and this is where Yun Weixie prepared to talk.

There were only three seats on the balcony. Guo Ping sat in the house and sipped tea. He resolutely waited for the members of the Eighteenth Guards to guard outside the house, under the balcony, on the roof, etc., for fear that the eagle-eyed old seven dogs would jump over the wall and assassinate Yun Weixuan, or run away altogether.

In fact, why is it so troublesome, that is, if Guo Ping doesn't come, because of his prestige alone, Eagle Eye Seventh dare not act rashly.

The three of them sat down on the viewing platform, Yun Weijue was not in a hurry to get to the point, chatted about flowers and tea for a long time, Hawkeye Lao Qi was impatient with such small talk, and winked at Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng said: " Master Yun, at your invitation, I brought Eagle-eyed Seventh to the appointment." You asked me to come here, so let's get to the point early, what a nonsense.

"Welcome. I came to the south of the Yangtze River just for the Twelve Links." If you hadn't made a fool of yourself, would you have labored a country's chief minister to leave Beijing?The face is really big!

"Master Yun besieged me and did not attack Twelve Lianhuanwu. Presumably there are other regulations. Please enlighten me." The chariots and horses are all clearly stated, what more do you need as a fig leaf, just tell me, what do you want to do.

"Lu Xiaofeng, didn't you relay what I said to him?" Yun Weijue pretended to be surprised, he really didn't know what he should call Eagle Eye Seventh, so he always used personal pronouns or just ignored it.

"Lu Xiaofeng said it, but Master Yun, this is impossible. The Twelve Links Pier is the foundation that I, Eagle Eye Seventh, took over from my master. It must not be ruined by me. The Twelve Links Pier must not be broken up! "Hawkeye Seventh said firmly.

"It's okay if you don't disperse. According to the rules of the imperial court, the gang will be organized. The imperial court will also provide tax incentives and start-up capital subsidies. Isn't Yanziwu a good example?" Yun Weixuan looked easy to talk.Yanziwu is indeed a representative of government-supervised private gangs. It abides by the laws of the court, pays taxes according to regulations, recruits gang members to report to Jianyitang, and reports to Jianyitang about its operation once every three months... all kinds of things.From Hawkeye's seventh view, is this still a gang? Can he still make the decision?An ancestor on his head is not so constrained.

"Master Yun, bullying..." Eagle Eye Seventh slapped the table angrily, before he could say a word, a burst of anger locked on to him, Eagle Eye Seventh broke out in cold sweat instantly, and his heart beat like a pounding drum.Only at this time did he belatedly realize that the person sitting in front of him was not the savagery at the negotiating table in the past, but a high-ranking member of the imperial court, surrounded by a master to protect him.It is unacceptable to slap the table.

Seeing that Eagle-eyed Seventh's face turned pale instantly, although Lu Xiaofeng was not locked by the Qi machine, he had an experience in the Yun Mansion once, so he immediately reacted, and softly called out with pleading eyes: "Master Yun."

Yun Weizhen nodded slightly, and Guo Ping, who was sitting in the room, dissipated her murderous aura.At this time, the eagle-eyed old seventh was already sweating in his shirt. He tried his best to steady his hand, concealed the breath of the teacup on the table, and slowly sipped his tea.

Yun Weijue picked up a stack of documents on the small shelf next to him, pushed them in front of Eagle Eye Seventh, and said, "This is the disposal of the captured people from the original Twelve Chain Dock, regardless of whether we have reached agreement today or not. , these people must accept the sanctions of the court law."

When Yun Weijue used the word "original", the mentality of the eagle-eyed old seven who hit him seemed to be lowered a bit.

Eagle-eyed Seventh stared at the document, and Lu Xiaofeng took it over directly. It contained the sentences for these people, some from Tianfeng Hall, and some from other branches, "Xiong Yao, male, born in 20 years of Taiping, Wuxi Huishan Bear A native of the village, and later the head of Weiyang Hall in Twelve Links Wuxi. In the 41st year of Taiping, Wuxi wealthy businessman Yang An’s family of 56 members was the main criminal in the murder case. He escaped and hid in Twelve Links. After that, he stole...robbed...killed...killed his family... ..."

There are only a few short lines of a person's crimes, Lu Xiaofeng flipped through them casually, they are all people who have taken their lives, and the case is vicious, everyone has a lot of crimes, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to plead a few words, but he couldn't find a reason.When Lu Xiaofeng made friends before, he only knew their loyalty, but he didn't know that they oppressed the good and slaughtered the people wantonly; the money they squandered, in addition to collecting protection fees on waterways, also robbed the rich and helped the poor, robbed others' riches, and gave to their own poor. .

Lu Xiaofeng put down the document and pushed it back in front of Eagle Eye Seventh. Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's expression, Eagle Eye Seventh knew that the matter was irreversible. Doesn't he know the virtues of his subordinates?Eagle-eyed Seventh also picked it up and flipped through it. There were even records of crimes committed decades ago. It would be hard to believe that Yun Weijue came to Jiangnan because of his sudden rise.It seems that the crash of the fishermen's boat by Tianfengtang this time is just a starting point.Jian Yitang had made such thorough preparations, it was impossible to be kind.

"Eagle Eye Seventh, have you thought it through?" Yun Wei asked calmly.

Hawkeye Lao Qi hesitated to answer, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.Now, he will definitely not be able to fight hard. His personal force is not as good as Guo Ping, and his gang is not as strong as the army. Just because Yun Weijue spread the evidence of this crime and pierced this fig leaf, the reputation of Twelve Links will be rotten. Main street.Outsmart... what can he outsmart?

"Master Yun, at the beginning of the Twelve Links, there were fishermen who couldn't make it through. It was not easy to make a living on the water, and what they were looking for was food and clothing..." Eagle-eyed Seventh began to play the bitterness card.

"Yes, this is the imperial court's dereliction of duty. Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne and has already pardoned the world. I will not pursue the small mistakes before." Yun Weijue almost pointed at the nose of the eagle-eyed seventh son and said, It's the responsibility of the imperial court, you're a fool, you went to the wrong set!

The Eagle-eyed Seventh took a look at Lu Xiaofeng, knew that he was too weak, and begging was useless, and looked at the surrounded Tianfeng Hall in the distance from the viewing platform, gritted his teeth and said, "How will Master Yun plan to deal with me? "

"Don't worry, I've asked Lu Xiaofeng to tell you about the conditions. For the people arrested by Jianyitang, you can give them two more sticks of incense in Qingming for the sake of working with them; They are all His Majesty's subjects, and this official only has the reason to cherish them; those who are insightful people in the gang, who are willing to join the Sword Hall, I welcome them very much; as for you, you will be in the Sword Hall's Elder's House, and you will strictly abide by the rules of the Sword Hall in the future."

Yun Weijue made it very clear that as long as you don't fight against the court, the court will not disturb your life, and even welcomes you to display your talents and help you achieve revenge.

Hawkeye Lao Qi gritted his teeth, he really didn't dare to make up his mind, this is a century-old foundation!

"If there are gang members who want to set up a fishermen's mutual aid organization, Jiangnan River Transport Alliance and the like, and use the name of Twelve Links, I have no objection." Yun Weijue added leisurely.

The dignified first-class gang in Jianghu has been reduced to such a point!Eagle-eyed Lao Qi had read the names of other branch elders, hall masters, and gang members on the document, and knew that if he hadn't been in Tianfeng Hall, this powerful Master Yun might not have condescended to come to Jiangnan.

"Okay! I agree with Eagle Eye Seventh!" Eagle Eye Seventh gritted his teeth.

"That's very good. Please go back to appease the gang first. After an hour, Jian Yitang will come to receive it. What can be taken away and what must be kept, I will discuss it with you." Yun Weizhen said while drinking tea. A casual look.

Eagle-eyed Seventh said in a deep voice, "Farewell!" He turned around and strode out, probably never wanting to see Yun Weizhen's hateful face in his life.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't leave, he was sipping tea, and said: "Everything is under Master Yun's control, Eagle Eye Seventh has no power to fight back, Lu Xiaofeng admires, admires!"

"If there were no soldiers surrounding the Twelve Links Pier, what would be the use of me being able to speak out again." Yun Weijue laughed at himself, and sighed again: "Big fists are the last word!"

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "Master Yun, isn't he afraid that Eagle Eye Seventh will go back on his word?"

Yun Weijue glanced at him, "He dare not, and I will not let him have this chance."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Guo Ping in the room, then at the soldiers downstairs, silent.

"Eagle-eyed Seventh is a person who is used to wandering around, and I fear he won't be restrained by the court." Lu Xiaofeng still did not give up and wanted to beg Ying Lao Qi for mercy.

"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, your ability to make friends is the best in the world, but you look at people... Tsk tsk, I give you a piece of advice, you have to separate people when you make friends." It's the plot where Lu Xiaofeng brings his friends and arrests his friends.

Lu Xiaofeng frowned slightly, wondering why Yun Weijue was so sharp all of a sudden, those things hadn't happened yet, Lu Xiaofeng naturally couldn't figure out what the hell was going on in Yun Weijue's mind, only thought he was making fun of him. "Master Yun has a good sense of people." Lu Xiaofeng asked in a strange voice, full of sarcasm.

"I do." Yun Weijue said without humility: "Take Eagle Eye Lao Qi as an example, if he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he should go to become a monk; if he doesn't want to hurt his followers, he should disband on his own. Jian Yitang can still use ordinary people as a What? Now it's just a matter of grasping your social status and waiting for the conditions of the court's recruitment. In fact, from the fact that you are a prodigal son with no gang and faction, and he is a tycoon in charge of water transportation in several provinces, it is obvious that he wants power. Want to stand out."

"Study literary and martial arts, and the emperor's family. What the rivers and lakes can give him, the court can give more. Lu Xiaofeng, don't worry that your friend will not adapt to the court. Maybe you know what he used to do, Eagle Yan Lao Qi can only be called your past, former friend."

Yun Weixuan put down his teacup and walked out. As long as Eagle Eye Seventh doesn't run, mess around, or stay behind, he will be considered to have completed the task, and the rest can be done by Eighteen Guards. He has more important things to do. something to do.Before that, he had to go to Baihualou to bid farewell to Huamanlou.

When Yun Weijue arrived at Baihualou, it was noon, Qiuhuo still had some power, Yun Weijuan walked into Baihualou covered in sweat.

"Brother Yun, come up quickly, sour plum soup just happened to come from home, drink some to relieve the heat." Hua Manlou greeted.

"Oh, sometimes I really envy you martial arts practitioners, look at how warm in winter and cool in summer." Yun Weizhen sighed after drinking two bowls of sour plum soup in one go.His body is that of an ordinary person, healthy, but without "special functions".

"I heard that Brother Yun's footsteps are light, so he must have learned martial arts." Hua Manlou asked curiously.

"I'm afraid you'll make fun of me, but I really don't know anything about martial arts. I also know medical skills, and I also understand the functions of acupuncture points in the human body; I also have knowledge. I touched my bones and said that my body is a natural material for martial arts, and my bones are excellent. Later... I don't need to talk about it. My little internal energy was passed on to me by others, and it was originally intended to let the internal energy operate in my body. I'm looking for the feeling of practicing martial arts, but unfortunately I'm as stupid as a cow, and I still can't learn it after giving a demonstration. These internal forces stay in my body, which is the effect of strengthening the body. It's not like you, who can fly over walls and grab swords with bare hands. "

It was rare for Yun Weijue to explain, maybe it was because the person sitting opposite was Hua Manlou, Yun Weijue had the desire to tell.He always felt that his inability to learn martial arts was the rejection of him by this world, and perhaps it was the price he had to pay for living in this world.So far, apart from not being able to practice martial arts, he has not found that there is nothing he can't do, which is hindered by "fate".

"Brother Yun, why should you be humble? There are still more people in the world who don't know martial arts. Why should you belittle yourself? Everything in the world can enter Taoism. Practicing martial arts is one kind, and writing is another kind. Practicing medicine and being an official are both." Hua Man Lou opened the solution.

"Qitong, you really got into my heart. I'm going to see another way, so I came here to say goodbye to you and adjust the prescription." Yun Weizhen said.

"Oh, where are you going, what?" Hua Manlou was curious.

"Wanmei Villa, the way of the sword."
