Self-cultivation of male support

Wulin has existed for a long time. It is said that when the founding emperor of this dynasty went to war in the world, there were many people from the rivers and lakes around him who gave advice and advice, shed blood and tears, and belonged to the founding heroes.

Therefore, those in power at that time allowed the development of martial arts intentionally or unintentionally, and it has continued to this day. They can also make the other party shout the slogan "The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and the court is the court, and they have nothing to do with each other." It has the confidence left by the ancestors.

The reason why Jianghu people can enter the court as officials is because some of their ancestors served in the court.

Shi Yan said quietly: "Xiao San, do you know what the major sects in today's Jianghu rely on to make a living and maintain their glamorous life?"

Hang Yunsan was born in the rivers and lakes, and he knew this very well, so he opened his mouth and said, "Part of it is doing business, Zhongdi, no matter whether it is leasing your own land to others for farming, or letting the doormen open up joints outside to do business, it is all right. It is a very good choice, with less taxation, high profits and wide sources of information.

Of course, there is another part, or most of the reason, is to collect tolls, that is, according to the size of the sect, the area within a fixed radius where their sect is located will be under their jurisdiction.

Anyone who passes by here will have to pay them part of the toll. If the sect is big and the location is good, if you pass by often in a year, the filial money that needs to be sent by the cooperative merchants is not a small amount. "

This toll fee is indeed a solid toll fee at the beginning. There is a fixed number among the sects. The caravans passing by will act according to the rules. The disturbance of bandits and bandits is a matter of mutual benefit.

But now, it has become a very serious form of exploitation in disguise, eating and asking for cards one after another, unless those people are fed, it is almost impossible to do business in that area.

Especially in the martial arts before, the dragons had no leader, and the old emperor deliberately indulged. This phenomenon is extremely serious. Now, it has a hidden tendency to become a serious problem for the court.

Shi Yan pointed at Hang Yunsan's head with his finger, and sighed long: "You are a Jianghu person who still regards yourself as a serious person, and now you are wearing the fourth-rank official uniform of the Eastern Palace with a sword, after all, it is just a It's just an insignificant addition."

Hang Yunsan was very puzzled, and hurriedly put down the grapes in his hand, and expressed his loyalty to Shi Yan: "Father, you know me, and I believe it is you, not your identity. If you are the leader of the martial arts, I am the leader of the world." Knight, if you are the prince of the East Palace, I will be the guard with the sword! Is there any problem with this?"

This is a big problem!

Shi Yan said: "But now I am not only the leader of the martial arts alliance, but also the prince of the East Palace."

Hang Yunsan was very confused, he felt that he understood, but he didn't seem to understand, he just looked at Shi Yan in a daze, speechless.He felt that under Shi Yan's eyes, Shi Yan had seen through all his little thoughts.

This person is too scary, but once you make up your mind to follow him, it's too reassuring.

So he slowly lowered his head and did not speak, half kneeling beside the chair, and continued peeling the grapes in silence, but this time the grapes in his hand came out not as round and complete as before, with potholes on them and lost their crystal beauty .

But a picky person like Shi Yan, as if he didn't notice it, just picked it up and fed it to his mouth, and ate it. After eating, he whispered to Hang Yunsan: "Do you know how much the court's annual tax is? You know because According to the promise of the founding emperor, people in the Jianghu will not pay taxes to the court no matter whether they are doing business or in the middle of the land, or collecting tolls?

Do you know that the so-called justice, the so-called chivalry, and the so-called happy enmity of the people in the Jianghu are stepping on the bottom line of the court, spending the court's taxes, exploiting the people of the world, and fulfilling their freedom? "

As soon as Shi Yan's voice fell, the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music around him stopped, and the dancers performing songs and dances knelt on the ground silently and did not dare to raise their heads. No sound.

Hang Yunsan was stunned for a moment by Shi Yan's sudden temper. Since he knew Shi Yan for so long, he felt that Shi Yan was an unfathomable person. He had never seen him lose his temper. This was the first time that he was at a loss. , I didn't know how to deal with it, so I could only knelt on the ground stiffly like the others and begged Shi Yan to calm down.

Calm down?What anger?

In fact, Shi Yan wasn't angry at all. He didn't leave behind the current mess, he didn't make the promise to let people in the world trade freely, and he didn't cause the current bad situation. Why should he be angry?

But as the prince of the imperial court and the leader of the martial arts, he has a special status, and he really needs to be angry like this, so that everyone knows that he is angry, so that the next thing can be handled easily.

A few days after the news spread, the wise man came to the door automatically, expressing his willingness to do his best for His Highness, and he would not hesitate to do so, but His Highness obeyed his orders and dared not have second thoughts.

But what surprised Shi Yan was that among the people who came to invite Ying Ying, there were the fifth prince Xie Chaozhou and his cousin Xie Chaoshu.

Right now, to be precise, Shi Yan's surname is also Xie, they belong to his old Xie family, and these two are his cousins ​​to a certain extent.

Xie Chaozhou agreed very much with Shi Yan's desire to clear the rivers and lakes, and immediately expressed his opinion: "I am not afraid of your taboo, back then, the humble minister also had the idea of ​​peacefully conquering the rivers and lakes without a single soldier, it is a pity... ..."

It's a pity that everyone knows what happened later.

Xie Chaoshu said: "In order to cooperate with Master Xie's actions, I have done a lot of homework in private. I think you have guessed it. There is nothing to hide. Since you have the heart, I also want to do my best for His Highness. I hope His Highness will not dislike you."

Shi Yan nodded. Didn't the fifth prince Xie Chaozhou marry Zong Shixiang with the idea of ​​subduing the forces in the world for his own use?Although the purpose is impure, it is to draw the forces of the Jianghu and the money of the Jianghu into his own purse, and has no intention of entering the national treasury.

But when he really ascended the throne as the empress in the later period, the power in the world was completely disintegrated in his hands.

Right now, although Shi Yan and his considerations are different, the things to do are almost the same.

So he said to the two: "Then do your job well."

Said it was a business, Shi Yan still left enough time for all parties to prepare, and did not rush to make a move. After all, he still wanted to see how many people with a clear mind on this issue.

After finally waiting for a month, Shi Yan decided not to wait any longer, nor to give anyone a chance, so he went to bid farewell to the emperor.

"So far, there are 350 famous sects, large and small, in Jianghu, and only [-] sects have come to surrender. They are all second-rate sects. Jurisdiction.

A lot of impossible demands were put forward, which meant that the court was like a fat sheep, heh.

The remaining two families didn't say anything, they acted as if they were at the court's disposal. One family was Xie Chaoshu's father-in-law's family, Duan Youran's mother's family, Duan's Villa.

The other one is the predecessor of the Martial Arts League that you represent, Zhejian Villa. Hang Yunsan, in the name of the deputy owner, took the initiative to join the imperial court, which is considered smart. "

Shi Yan snorted and said, "If you can't figure it out after beating like that, he can just die. But what is this family thinking? You can guess Jiang Hu's attitude towards the court by looking at the attitudes of other sects. Hard to carry.

After all, who wants to be controlled as the third grandson if he can be his own master and be free?

This is a feeling that the law does not blame the public, and there is nothing we can do about them!Heh, it's a beautiful idea. Giving them a month is the most benevolent. Now it's not the time of the first emperor. The court has no way to deal with the world. If they insist on toasting, don't blame them for beating them! "

The Jianghu people never thought that they would be hurt by Shi Yan, and they would gather together in private to discuss peaceful evolution. A group of people formed a small group to hold a meeting, and they were noisy and didn't have a specific idea.

In the end, the leader slapped the table and said loudly: "Everyone, if you want me to tell you about this, I still need to send someone to discuss it with the leader.

The news that the leader lost his temper in the East Palace before spread to the world, and we understand why, but this is our ancestral foundation, and the whole family depends on this little thing for survival. It’s really not that the leader just said it and we handed it all over thing!

I think the leader also meant the same thing. Give us time to come up with a charter as soon as possible.

I suggest!The previous idea can continue!Since the noble lady of the royal family dislikes the lord's vicious looks and refuses to marry him, isn't it just a good thing for us in the world?

We know what our alliance leader is like, even if he hurt his face in the extreme north and turned into a ghost, but our sons and daughters are brave enough to choose a beautiful and gentle girl to marry , Never mind that the prince is not a prince, just don't believe that the pillow wind is blowing every day, and His Highness's heart is not biased toward us?

This can extend us for one day, and it can also extend us for a hundred days, a thousand days, or even longer, what do you think? "

Take a closer look, isn't the person who raised his arms and shouted exactly Cheng Yuhua who was kicked back by Shi Yan earlier?The elder brother of Zong Chixian's former fiancée Cheng Yumei.

After looking at Cheng Yuhua for a moment, someone looked hesitantly and said, "It's not impossible, we don't know what happened to His Majesty on the dragon chair, but His Highness came from our rivers and lakes, and there are people around His Highness who speak good things for us every day.

Maybe it won't show up in a day or two, but after a long time, I think it will definitely work. "

Then someone went on to say: "This plan is very good! I remember that there is a thirteen-year-old girl in Brother Cheng's family. Wouldn't it just be a good match for our lord? Or just her!"

Cheng Yuhua nodded in satisfaction.

Now someone heard the way, stood up and objected directly: "No, even if it's a marriage, you can't choose a girl from the Cheng family to marry the leader. You have forgotten the old man, but you haven't forgotten!

In the early years, the girl from the Cheng family was assigned to Zong Chixian, the owner of the Zongzhuang. Later, because of the girl's death, the Cheng family chased and killed the owner's wife, Ding, who was also the owner's mother Ding Wan for more than ten years. It has only stopped in the past few years.

With such an embarrassing identity, let's not try our best to cover up the past, pretend that nothing happened, and talk about it on the stage, how stupid is it? "

Knowing everything and wanting to curry favor with Shi Yan again, Cheng Yuhua, who returned to the power circle, twitched his eyes, choked his throat, and panicked in his heart. There was nothing more irritating than what this old man said.

He knew it was false, but he couldn't help it, and he didn't dare to refute it.

Here, a group of old men who add up to several hundred years old gathered together for the position of the leader's wife, or the crown princess, and almost beat their brains out.

As for the person involved, Shi Yan felt that he was a very straightforward Jianghu person, so he didn't use any complicated methods to deal with the small tricks deliberately made to test him in the Jianghu this time.

Just one man and one horse, holding his big iron sword, fighting all the way from the capital to the Wulin League, thousands of miles away, all the way, but when they encounter trouble, they are not relentless at all. According to the extent of their troubles, it seems A broken leg, a broken hand, or a broken head, there is no ambiguity.

From a hundred miles away from Beijing, his reputation as a god-killer spread throughout the north and south of the country faster than the speed of his horse.

From the capital city to the Southern Martial Arts League, a few people claiming to be members of the martial arts league would pop up almost at any time along the way, wanting to talk to the leader of the martial arts league.

No matter who these people are behind, whose interests they represent, and what they want to talk to him, Shi Yan doesn't listen: "I gave you a whole month to talk to me, and each of you has become a jagged gourd with nothing to say .

Running out now to show off my ability, do you really think that I, the prince, have nothing to do all day long and just play tricks with you?late! "

When Shi Yan rode on a horse, whenever he met someone who claimed to be from the martial arts and wanted to have a peace talk, he would bend down and ask the other person patiently: "What's your name? Which faction?"

After the other party reported his family name, he took out a thick booklet from his arms, straightened up on the horse, and carefully searched for the person's location from the booklet.

If there is no name on the list, it's fine, it's considered a life escape.

If he is on the list, heh, then I’m sorry, but he can only act according to his reasoning, do not do more and do less, be whipped, be boarded, or go to the guillotine, all have his rules.

Along the way, it can be said that there are sparks and lightning. Wherever it passes, the sound of pain and wailing is endless for three months.

People on the other side can't say anything, after all, Shi Yan is not wronged at all. When he created a bloody scene and made the people around tremble with fear, he threw out the crimes he had prepared in his hand. One after another, when and where he did what kind of evil thing, he should be punished by the court, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no wrongdoing.

It can be said that those people's old bottoms have been stripped clean, and the color of their underwear has become a joke among the people along the way.

This behavior has completely stripped the face of some people in the world who claim to be chivalrous and righteous, and their righteousness is thin.

Sleeping with my sister-in-law, sleeping with my father's concubine, the brothers and sisters born to my father and my aunt are actually his sons, and his daughter-in-law has an affair with his father, and the child born becomes his son, etc. , It is known all over the world through this way.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the evidence collected by Shi Yan. People's enthusiasm for this kind of gossip has greatly exceeded people's expectations.For a time, there were various forms of performances based on these people, and the popularity of them was astonishing, completely nailing these people to the pillar of shame.

With the passage of time, the century-old good reputation of Jianghu people has been destroyed, and the private business of various sects has frequently encountered problems. The caravans entering and leaving the areas under their jurisdiction are no longer willing to obediently pay high tolls.

What's more, the caravans in the past began to hire expert bodyguards who came out of nowhere, and when they arrived at their territory, they didn't pay tolls, and started fighting without saying a word, which caught them by surprise.

Watching helplessly as the other party raised his chin, he patted his ass and left without leaving a single cent.

For hundreds of years, the rules handed down from the ancestors, how has it ever been humiliated like this? !

These people were completely impatient, and finally realized that Shi Yan really didn't plan to have a serious talk with them, nor did he plan to follow the path they expected. All the previous predictions had directional deviations, and it was a bad idea after all.

But now, besides letting go and giving it a go, is there any good way?

"Damn it, what's the reputation of my family outside now? The mother at home went to buy a vegetable, and was beaten so hard that she couldn't get out of bed for more than a month. That's the most compassionate. She eats fast all the year round, chant Buddha, and cooks meals for the whole family by herself. man!

There is a grievance and a debtor, so what can't be done against me?Why implicate innocent old people?

Didn't the dog just kill a few prostitute women?The money paid to their parents is enough to feed and drink for three generations of their parents, and the person involved will not pursue it, but he wants to make this head.

The bullshit leader of martial arts, ever since he became the leader, he hasn't reaped any benefits, and behaves like a man with his tail clamped every day.

My Xiao family must let him know that the truth of the world is not up to him alone, even if he is the prince! "

After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away, with a ruthless look in his back!

The eyes of the rest of the people flickered, and they left in silence. The group of people who had gathered together to choose a princess for Shi Yan finally fell apart at this moment.

Shi Yan wasn't in a hurry at all. He was going so fast that he could reach the place in only thirteen days. After walking for two months, he was still on the way, and he was still far away from the southern martial arts.

He could clearly feel that the assassination, poisoning, assassination and other behaviors became more frequent along the way. Shi Yan knew that this was someone trying to stop his behavior, and he had reached the point of jumping over the wall in a hurry.

But he was not in a hurry at all, he touched the horse under his crotch: "This is just the beginning."

No matter who came or how many people came, they couldn't stop him from moving forward.

So gradually, the people he met on Shiyan Road approached him with an excuse, from the beginning of "wanting to talk to the leader".

Became "Leader, please think about the reputation of the entire martial arts world!"

Up to now, the people who came to look for him one after another, knelt down in front of him and cried pitifully as soon as they met, and said: "Please forgive me, His Royal Highness, don't go any further, we have surrendered...you Anything you want can be negotiated..."

Then, as Shi Yan expected, he took out a poisoned dagger from his bosom, and wanted to greet Shi Yan, and at the same time cast fishing nets in all directions to catch those who chopped off the horse's legs, reined in the horse's neck, and poked the horse's eyes. , There are also those targeting Shi Yan's upper, middle and lower routes, hundreds of people came out in one breath.

Gululu came out like dumplings.

A silent battle ensued, with blood splattered everywhere, muffled groans and occasional cries of pain sounded one after another, obviously this was a group of killers of very high quality and quantity.

But there is no doubt that this group of people failed again. When the last person fell down, his eyes were full of despair, that young man standing firmly in the middle of the crowd, holding a big iron sword in his hand.

He didn't even splash a drop of blood on his body, and he was still clean.

Is this the strength of the ally?Is this the number one strength in the world?

He had no chance to discuss it anymore, and fell down weakly, squeezing the blood gathered in the puddles under his body to disperse.

Standing among the piles of corpses, Shi Yan slowly took out the thick booklet from his arms, and asked the same question as before: "What's your name? Which faction?"

Even if no one at the scene answered his words except for the crows on the trees in the distance, the people behind him would still get a clear picture of the lives of everyone at the scene within half an hour, and then Take their seats and make their previous crimes known to the public.

Of course, this time the guards skillfully added a line: "Assassination of the prince of the country is a heinous crime."

The entire martial arts world was emboldened by Shi Yan, and everyone heard the words "what's your name, which faction" changed their expressions, and all the adults in the court who were engaged in logistics work were also frightened by Shi Yan's viciousness. Yes, I have used [-] points of caution in running errands for him, for fear that this guy won't be able to hold back for a while, and use his own brain to sharpen the knife.

In the fourth month, Hang Yunsan appeared in an inn thirty miles away from the Wulin League, and sat opposite Shi Yan, who had recently killed the Quartet.

Hang Yunsan said to Shi Yan with a complicated expression: "After this time, the backbone of the martial arts was severely injured, and the damned people died cleanly. Those people you left behind on purpose are at best empty-handed. I'm afraid their kung fu will be completely useless." up.

The remaining people are nothing to worry about, either they have long wanted to belong to the imperial court, or they really have no skills, and others will look down on them even if they rebel.

With you in the lead, the follow-up work of the imperial court went very smoothly. A total of 3000 taels of property have been obtained before and after, and a total of [-] taels was obtained. The head of the household department was too excited to see the silver entering the warehouse five days ago, so he fell from the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Going down, I lost three teeth, and I have been leaking my words recently. "

After Shi Yan lost his temper last time, Hang Yunsan really worked hard to understand these things.

For this result, Shi Yan had already predicted: "Half a year ago, when my father and I were checking accounts, they told our country that the empty treasury could starve to death mice. Last year, only a mere 600 million taels of tax went into the national treasury. His disaster relief is not enough, let alone others."

Shi Yan was still very leisurely complaining to Hang Yunsan: "At that time, my father said that if he finds an opportunity in the future, he may have to rely on copying the house to enrich the treasury, and the people will inevitably give him the title of copying the house emperor.

After this experience, the emperor who wanted to come to father's house copying is gone, but I, the prince who destroyed the family, can sit firmly. "

Hang Yunsan rubbed his face vigorously, and said helplessly: "Father, you never thought that with your previous reputation and your recent actions, which girl would want to marry you in the future? It is said that you are Do you know what happened? A murderous maniac, superhuman, nothing more than that!

Before Weichen came, His Majesty lost his temper a lot, saying that you are the first prince of the Eastern Palace who has not been able to marry a wife since ancient times!Too much deception! "

Shi Yan went upstairs with his hands behind his back in a very happy mood, and he muttered something about Hang Yunsan that he didn't hear clearly, but he carefully recalled the shape of his mouth, it seemed to be: Great?

What's so good about this motherfucker?This was tricked by those sour scholars behind the scenes!

Shaking my head vigorously to get rid of this strange thought, it must be a hallucination, a hallucination caused by recent stimulation!
