Ji Xueyan frowned: "When do you think the war between the Great Xia and the Shang Dynasty will break out?"

Although Guangming's power in the Shang Dynasty was not as great as that of Daxia, countless money was invested in construction during this period, with the capital of the Shang Dynasty as the center and radiating to several important surrounding state capitals.

Judging from the news from below, the Shang Dynasty did not act on the surface, but secretly prepared troops and horses, collected spiritual objects, spiritual medicines, etc., and then prepared for the war.

Neighboring countries and forces are also ready to take action.

This time, it is very important to destroy the Wu clan by means of thunder. Daxia's energy is freed up, and then he starts to clean up the Jin Kingdom and the Five Elements Tribe.

Think about it.

Zhang Ronghua said solemnly: "It can be a few years at the earliest, or ten or eight years at the slowest. A war will surely break out between the two dynasties."

"So sure?"

"intuition!"

There is one thing Zhang Ronghua did not say. Even if Emperor Xia succeeds in practicing the simplified version of the Heavenly Emperor's Conferring God Technique, he can only last for twelve years at most. His secret plan has been implemented so far, and some forces have been wiped out, and then the queen, darkness and other forces will be solved. Internal troubles Clear, even if the Shang Dynasty did not send troops, it would send a large army to attack.

The temptation to open up the frontier and crack the soil is too great, and no one can stop the soldiers from up to Emperor Xia and down below.

For example, this time, he did what the previous emperors had not been able to do. He added a lot to his resume and was remembered by future generations as the inheritance of Daxia.

For the first time, Ji Xueyan felt that there was not enough time. When that day came, no one could stay out of the matter. All forces would go to the battlefield, including Jixiatang. He said solemnly: "I thought Jixiatang was developing fast enough, but now it seems It’s still slow.”

Zhang Ronghua asked: "How many people are there?"

"Ninety-six people, all of whom have raised their cultivation bases, have rich combat experience, and are powerful."

"What about attribute martial arts and exercises?"

Ji Xueyan proudly held out her chest, and the skirt in front of her bulged out, with a proud look on her face: "You have taught me for so long how to create attribute exercises and martial arts, learn from experience, think carefully, and overcome difficulties first. If I can’t solve it, I’ll ask the elders in the teaching palace, and I’m already self-sufficient. As my cultivation improves, my understanding of the Tao becomes deeper, I read more books, and the attribute martial arts and techniques I create become stronger and stronger.”

Zhang Ronghua grabbed a handful, it was soft, warm, and substantial, and he praised: "You are already smart, understand the key, and with the accumulation, it will not be difficult if you have the help of the dean and others."

Ji Xueyan glared angrily: "Dishonest!"

continued.

"The property has increased to twelve, and the money earned every day has increased. With the support of resources, the disciples of Jixiatang, including me, have improved very quickly."

She has broken through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm, the same realm as Yang Hongling.

The two girls are very hardworking. In addition to being busy with church affairs, they are also serious about practicing.

"En." Zhang Ronghua responded with a smile.

Those who can enter Jixiatang are extremely talented. Even if they are not up to her level, they are still one in a hundred.

Ji Xueyan asked: "How to deal with the Jin State and the Five Elements Tribe?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "There is news from the front line that a small-scale war has started. The two countries are plotting a bigger plan. Even if the news of the witch clan's annihilation is passed, it will not stop. It is difficult to get off the tiger, no matter whether you retreat or not, even if you surrender. , Daxia will not let them go, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys! If you dare to jump out and commit chaos, the country must be destroyed! If you don’t get rid of them, or if you are soft-hearted, other countries will pounce on them and take a bite when they see an advantage. The situation No, you can escape disaster by surrendering, but if you wait for an opportunity, the border will never be peaceful!"

Take a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for the opportunity. There was no excuse before. Now the two countries have taken the initiative to send "reasons" and destroyed them out of righteousness. The surrounding countries dare not accuse them."

Ji Xueyan turned around and sat on his lap, face to face. Her red lips gently touched Zhang Ronghua's forehead and said with a smile: "What should we do this time?"

Zhang Ronghua shook his head, not thinking about it yet.

The ninth and tenth armies of the Eastern Army stayed in the Wushen Mountains. The 40,000 troops originally stationed there returned together with the remaining 60,000 soldiers and horses from the witch-killing army.

I didn’t go to the Zhongtian Camp. I was busy explaining after the reward, and went to the Destiny Academy. I didn’t know the specific situation of the war. One thing is certain, whether it is to destroy the Jin Kingdom or the Five Elements Tribe, the 60,000 witch-killing army is the main force. The rest will depend on the situation.

"You won't know until you go there."

Ji Xueyan smiled and stood up: "It's already very late, I should go back."

While speaking, Xiafei's cheeks and beautiful face were covered with blush, which spread towards her neck, adding to her charm.

Zhang Ronghua understood. He bent down to hug her, kissed her on her attractive red lips, and said with a wicked smile, "It won't be long before this happens."

Entered the bedroom.

Skirts, bellybands embroidered with mandarin ducks, and stockings were thrown to the ground one after another.

quite a while.

Zhang Ronghua sent her to the door. Ji Xueyan gave him a pair of supercilious eyes and left with a fragrant breeze.

Looking at the sky, it will be dawn in another hour.

When I returned to the room, I didn't fall asleep. I sat on the bed and felt so good after resting for three days in a row.

After taking the remaining ten thousand-year elixir from the last time and practicing hard, my martial arts reached the critical point. I tried to see if I could break through. The power of my soul rushed out and laid a barrier.

Make seals with your hands, change the seals, and use the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Sutra to enter into practice.

Buzz!

The Supreme God and Demon Kung Fu operates, domineeringly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world. As soon as it enters the body, it is refined and transformed into Devouring Heavenly Yuan. It is not known how long it will last.

The real energy in Zhang Ronghua's body could no longer increase. He opened his eyes, the light flickered, and controlled them to rush forward, click! A crisp shattering sound sounded, like a fish leaping into the sea, breaking through to the third level of Sealing Heaven Realm. During the operation, a huge momentum came out, the quality became stronger, and the quantity was also exaggerated. With the improvement of the realm of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Sutra, it has to eight times.

a while.

Receiving the work and standing up, the golden light is restrained and transferred into the body.

Looking at the sky outside, it was completely bright, and the sound of Tian'er's reading could be heard, with resentment and occasional screams. It seemed that it was not what he wanted.

Get off the bed and practice the Great Five Elements Free Transformation Magical Power. Five spiritual lights rush out and evolve into five incarnations. Control them to perform the Great Five Elements Sky-Breaking Sword Formation, Sky-Burning Industry Fire and other magical powers. The main body is not idle either, cooperating with each other. , The terrifying energy flowed, confined to the room.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Ronghua stopped and sensed that his father and mother were here, as well as his uncle's family. It seemed that they had agreed upon it. After thinking about it, he guessed their purpose of coming. They wanted to see a mansion comparable to that of the royal family, and then look at the Queen of the Witch Clan. What do they look like.

Smile slightly.

The five incarnations turned into five spiritual lights and transferred into the body. The practice just now, coupled with the accumulation in these days, has reached the level of perfection in the third realm, and can exert 60% of the strength of the original body. When the skills of the sixth realm are close to the Tao, the power will be even stronger , what if...if by chance I break through to the origin of the Seven Realms Avenue, I don’t dare to think about it, it must be very unnatural, and there is an extra level of expectation.

He called Ma Ning and Ma Jing to help him wash up, took out the black robes made by Yang Hongling and put them on, and walked towards the lobby.

Before he arrived, the hearty laughter of his parents came from inside.

Seeing him coming, Zheng Qingyu came up to him: "Master."

Zhang Ronghua nodded, while Wu Lingyan and Princess Haiyan were waiting beside him.

Except for his father who was still sitting, Zheng Fugui, his uncle and his wife, and Xiao Mi stood up in a hurry: "Qinglin (cousin)!"

Zhang Ronghua responded one by one, and Zheng Rou asked: "Where is Hong Ling?"

"Come over later."

"Okay!" Zheng Rou smiled even wider.

After leaving with her eldest aunt and Xiao Mi, Ning Niang also came, missing the Ma Ning sisters, and only the four of them were left.

Zhang Qin sighed: "This mansion is so big and luxurious. The two white jade unicorn statues at the door alone are worth a lot of money!"

Zhang Ronghua said with a smile: "If you and mother like it, move here to live together."

"I'm not used to living in such a big place, but the current mansion is more comfortable."

Zhang Ronghua understood that his father was leaving private space for himself to facilitate his actions.

Chatted for a while.

Yang Hongling arrived on Xiaosi, and Zheng Rou took her to the back garden. Following closely, Yanbei also came. It was agreed before that during the war between the Wu clan, he would make a trip to his hometown if he could make a great contribution. To settle the marriage between him and his childhood sweetheart, he sent someone to deliver a message yesterday, and this happened.

He is wearing an ordinary blue uniform, paired with military boots, and his hair is tied in a bun. Although he is young, he has undergone the baptism of war and has completed his transformation. He is resolute, decisive in killing, and has a strong iron-blooded spirit. He cupped his fists and saluted: " I’ve seen the General Army!”

The reward from above has not come down, and now he is still a military prince.

Zhang Ronghua frowned, the clothes didn't suit him, and ordered outside: "Bring me a new set of clothes."

"Yes!" Zheng Qingyu responded.

After a while, he came in with a tray, containing a set of black silkworm king's brocade clothes, a black gold belt and fine boots.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Put it on."

Yan Bei hesitated: "The general army, this...."

"You are no longer ordinary. You are no longer the country boy you were before. You are now a military commander of the Great Xia Slayer Witch Army. When the court rewards you, with your contribution, you will be promoted to at least three levels in a row. You will be granted the title of General with a mixed title. You will be promoted to the fifth rank. Such clothes are shabby and not worthy of my status! Besides, this time I go back to my hometown to honor my hometown and to have a grand ceremony. I don’t want to hide it or hide it."

Yan Bei was moved: "Thank you, Zongjun!"

He took the clothes and went inside.

A man relies on his clothes, and a horse relies on its saddle. After putting on new clothes, he becomes more handsome, and with the military aura on his body, he has a sense of majesty.

Zhang Ronghua nodded with satisfaction: "This is like a general."

asked.

"How old are you this year?"

Yanbei said: "This subordinate is eighteen years old and joined the army three years ago."

"Do you have a cousin?"

Yan Bei's excitement showed on his face, and even his voice became trembling: "No, no."

Zhang Ronghua said: "I will give you a nickname, what do you think?"

"My subordinate is willing!"

Think for a moment.

Zhang Ronghua said: "The character Yuan represents Marshal Tiance, and the character Chu means not forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission in mind. Let's call it Yuanchu! The meaning is to make the commander with military merit and destroy the enemy's country!"

Yan Bei almost fainted with joy. He liked this expression so much that he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhang Ronghua stood up: "Dad, uncle, you have lunch here and then go back. Hong Ling and I will take Yuan Chu to his hometown to finalize the marriage."

Zhang Qin and the others had no objection and asked him to get busy with business.

Ask Zheng Qingyu to call Yang Hongling over, under the gaze of everyone.

Zhang Ronghua took out the Kunpeng boat, transformed it into a three-foot-long boat, and floated in the low altitude. After getting up, Xiao Si presided over, waving his hand, four kinds of spiritual light bloomed, evolved into a barrier to resist the nine-day wind, rushed towards the nine-day sky, and disappeared in an instant. not see.

Zheng Shan sighed: "Qinglin is becoming more and more promising."

Zhang Qin was sincerely proud that this was his son. He stroked his beard and praised each other: "Chang'an is not bad either."

Yanbei's hometown is in Anyuan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Feilong County and is affiliated with Anzhou. Anzhou is Shangzhou. The state Yin is Pei Caicai's person, who has just taken office.

Anyuan County has a very good geographical location. It is at the junction. It is the same distance from the Fucheng and the county town. It can be reached in half an hour's walk. It relies on the two to develop well and prosper, comparable to Xiajun.

They left without hiding anyone, and all the forces got the news. Seeing that Xiaosi and Yang Hongling were also there, plus the strong men of Destiny Academy who were secretly protecting them, even the Su family did not dare to kill them at this time.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

Kunpeng Zhou descended from the sky and stopped three miles outside Anyuan County.

Everyone go down.

Zhang Ronghua put away Kun Pengzhou and saw that he was nervous, impatient, and a little scared. He smiled and joked: "I have never seen you like this on the battlefield of the Wu clan. Are you scared now?"

Yan Bei was shy, rubbing the back of his head and hesitating, unable to say a word for a long time.

Yang Hongling glared angrily: "I haven't been home for three years. Isn't this normal?"

Three people and one beast set out on the road, heading towards the county seat.

Under Zhang Ronghua's inquiry, Yanbei introduced his family's situation.

When I was young, my family was in good condition. My father was in business, but he died in the hands of bandits when he went out to buy goods. My mother became ill with longing for her, and died not long after.

When Yan's father left, he didn't have much money left. It was all on the goods and was robbed by bandits. Even if they were later wiped out by the government and their belongings were gone, he and his grandma depended on each other and saved money with that little money. Eat frugally, and then drag him to adulthood.

He is about to receive a crown gift. He has no money and no power. Not to mention relatives and friends, even the neighbors look down on him. A dog can bully him twice.

Huang Shanshan, a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, has a very good relationship between them.

The family backgrounds of the two families were originally the same, but her family was very lucky. After Yan's father left, Huang's father's business grew bigger and bigger. In the end, he became vaguely the richest man in Anyuan County.

Their relationship remains the same as before, without any change.

When I was young, I could still avoid the issue of getting married, but when it came to Guanli (coming out of the cabinet), I could no longer escape. I wanted to marry her, but given the situation of the Yan family, it was impossible. To put it bluntly, Grandma Yan even wanted to marry her. Five taels of silver can't be taken out.

borrow?

When you are poor in a busy city and have no relatives or friends, when you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives. The reality is very cruel. Let alone borrowing money from others, others will look at you with disdain. They will close the courtyard door at any distance and stay away from thousands of miles away. The more mean ones will even say nasty things to you. , Cursing all kinds of ugly words.

once.

Huang's father went to Yanbei and talked about some practical issues without using his power to bully others.

The soul asked back, even if I agree to marry Shanshan to you, based on your family's conditions, two meals a day, let alone meat and vegetable leaves, how can I guarantee her future life?

After that, take the people away.

Yanbei thought about it all night. After dawn, his eyes were red, and he made a decision-join the army!

If a child from a poor family wants to get ahead, there are only two ways to do it, study or join the army.

Studying costs a lot of money, and he has missed the best age. Even if he learned how to read and write with his father when he was a child, he didn't know how to write articles, etc. Even if he got a reference quota at the beginning of the college examination, he could only hand in a blank paper when faced with the test questions. , the latter is the only way out.

I told my grandma about my idea. Although the latter didn't want to, she had no choice but to agree, so she went to the state capital to sign up. After passing the assessment, she trained for a period of time, worked hard, performed well, and was lucky, and was finally classified. To Zhongtian camp until now.

Zhang Ronghua patted him on the shoulder: "The past is gone, and there will only be glory and wealth in the future."

Yanbei blushed and said, "I only have three things in this life. The first is to make grandma happy, the second is to marry Shanshan, and the third is to protect the family and the country, defend the territory of Daxia, reject the enemy's blades outside the country, and defend the country." Peace to one side!"

The last voice was loud and impactful, and the eyes were firm.

While talking, we arrived at Ximen.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw them coming with their spirit beasts, Yan Bei ignored them. They looked like subordinates at first glance. Judging from Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling's clothes, jewelry, and temperament, they looked like big shots.

If there is no mistress, the chief will not ask, and you can enter the city by paying the admission fee. Now that you have to do an interrogation, you step forward and ask, "Please show me the way!"

Zhang Ronghua had three waist cards, one for the Marquis of Nancheng, one for the Prefect and the General of the Hussars. He took out the former, his eyes widened and he almost fell out. He looked at the three gilded small characters "Marquis of Nancheng" on it, and was shocked. Why did this big shot come from the capital? News spread quickly among Daxia. Whether it was the Legend of the Emperor of Heaven or sharp weapons such as the Flame Thunder Bead, it had long been spread. To put it bluntly, any soldier or scholar would know his name. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I have met the Marquis!"

The surrounding soldiers followed suit and saluted.

The common people, merchants and others who were entering and exiting the city were stunned. They saw that the young man in front of them was actually the Marquis of Nancheng. They had never seen such a "big man" in their lifetime, and they were in awe and quickly moved out of the way.

Zhang Ronghua put away his badge, nodded, and led people into the city.

Wait for them to leave.

The chief did not dare to delay and hurriedly passed on the news of the arrival of the Marquis of Nancheng. If he did not report such a big thing, if something went wrong, his small body would not be able to bear it.

On the way to Yan’s house.

Yang Hongling asked: "What do you think?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "I came here with no intention of keeping a low profile."

Yang Hongling smiled, Yan Bei's talent was worthy of his lover's huge investment.

a while.

A few people stopped at a corner in the north of the city and looked at the small courtyard in front of them. It was damaged and old. The walls were covered with moss. The courtyard door was broken at two corners. The couplets on both sides had not been changed for a long time. They had been weathered and the color had changed. White, less than a quarter left.

A familiar scene, nothing has changed.

Yan Bei couldn't bear it any longer, his heart softened, he was touched to the deepest level, his eyes were red, he rushed forward quickly, pushed open the courtyard door, and rushed inside.

I haven’t seen my grandma in three years. Even if she writes home letters every year to report that she is safe, she is illiterate and cannot reply to the letters. Asking neighbors for help is still a waste of their time. She spends money to hire someone to write for her, even if she sends most of her salary back. , with grandma’s frugal character, she was naturally reluctant to part with it.

"Grandma~!"

shouted with all his strength.

kitchen.

Grandma Yan is cooking. After Yanbei joined the army, he couldn't work on his family's fields, so he could only rent them out to others, with a payment every year, plus the salary he sent back. He saved more and more money, and his conditions improved, so he couldn't bear to buy good rice. , specializes in buying old grain, and saves the money to be used when he marries a wife.

Put a handful of old rice and a steamed bun in the pot, sit on the small horse, and add some firewood from time to time.

Hearing the familiar voice coming from outside, his whole body turned to stone, dreaming?

The next second.

Yan Bei rushed in, looking at the familiar face in front of him, it was engraved in his bones, wasn't he the grandson he longed for every night? Unable to hold back any longer, tears of excitement rolled down her cheeks, and she hurriedly stood up and rushed towards him.

Hug together!

Both of them cried, and it took a while before they let go.

Grandma Yan wiped the tears from her grandson's face and scolded: "You are a soldier now and represent the face of the court. Don't cry!"

"Yes." Yan Bei nodded heavily.

We didn’t go out immediately, we just talked to each other here.

In the courtyard.

Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling sat on yellowed bamboo chairs and waited, while Xiao Si lay on the ground and took a nap.

Looking at the simple furnishings in the courtyard, the ground was covered with dirt. It had just rained some time ago, leaving some footprints. Apart from tables and chairs, there was nothing else.

Yang Hongling said: "It's hard for Grandma Yan."

Zhang Ronghua nodded: "It's really not easy!"

"I have a bad feeling."

"Huang Shanshan?"

"Yeah." Yang Hongling responded.

"The Huang family is the richest man in Anyuan County. If the business has reached this level, even if there is no one behind it, the county will know some big names. Huang's father's methods back then were very sophisticated. Soft knives are far more ruthless than hard knives, silently. It stabbed Yan Bei in the heart. With his stubborn character, he would never come back unless he made some achievements! In the past few years, it is not an exaggeration to say that the world has changed a lot. With Huang's father's methods, he wanted to persuade his daughter to marry a rich man. It is easy for a powerful son to combine government and business, protect the family business, and expand the industry."

With Zhang Ronghua's intelligence, how could he not have thought of this?

He just didn't say it out loud, leaving Yan Bei with some fantasy.

The love between childhood sweethearts is indeed enviable, but the reality is far from as sweet as described in the book, and is often cruel.

Yan Bei helped grandma out, and the two of them stood up. Grandma Yan knelt down to salute. Zhang Ronghua stretched out his hand to support her, preventing her from kneeling, and said with a smile: "It's not like this."

Grandma Yan was very enthusiastic. She lived frugally and was very generous at the moment. She ordered: "Xiao Bei, the money is still under grandma's bedside. Take some more and go to Jufulou to buy a table of good wine and food."

Jufulou is the largest restaurant in the city, and its grade is also the highest.

"Yeah." Yan Bei agreed, turned around and was about to enter the house.

Zhang Ronghua stopped: "No need! Let Hong Ling cook later."

Yang Hongling smiled and said, "Grandma Yan, you don't need to work too hard, try my handicraft today."

Grandma Yan insisted, but they insisted even more, so they could only compromise and follow them into the kitchen to help.

Yang Hongling has an orchid heart and can see clearly that she did not take the real spiritual meat, spiritual fish, etc., not because she was reluctant to part with it, but because her old body could not digest it, it would leave disaster behind.

Although the ingredients used are ordinary things, they are also treasures.

When the food was brought out, there were a total of twelve dishes, plus two snacks, which filled the small table. Xiao Si brought a basin and put some food on the side to eat.

Not drinking.

Although Zhang Ronghua shied away, Grandma Yan insisted and let him and Yang Hongling take the lead, so she had to agree.

Endure it till now.

Yanbei couldn't hold back anymore, and asked, "Grandma, how is Shanshan?"

Looking at the anticipation and heat in her grandson's eyes.

Grandma Yan's heart darkened. After three years, she thought he could forget, but unexpectedly, it was the opposite. She saw a deep love in these eyes.

Gritting his teeth, he didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling looked at each other, as expected, time changes everything.

Yanbei had a bad feeling, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "No matter what the result is, I can bear it!"

"Alas!" Grandma Yan sighed.

Tell the whole story.

three years ago.

Yanbei had just joined the army not long ago. During this period, Huang Shanshan came to see her several times, bringing gifts. After that, she did not see her once a month. Half a year later, news came from the Huang family that she was getting married to Cheng Li, the young master of Cheng County Magistrate. They are the parents of Anyuan County, with the power of life and death. One is the richest man in the local area. On the day of the wedding, there was a great pomp. All the big shots in the county, including the prominent people from the neighboring county and county government, all arrived and walked around the city.

Not half a year later, Huang Shanshan gave birth to twins. Judging from the time of pregnancy, they had been together for a while.

After listening.

Yan Bei's fists were clenched, his face was cold, and he was biting his lips. Negative emotions such as anger, heartache, and unwillingness flashed through him one by one. He looked at the sky and left two lines of hot tears.

The man shed tears without hesitation. He was stabbed several times on the battlefield, but his face did not change. He still beheaded the enemy and charged forward. At this moment, he was defeated.

Zhang Ronghua took out the True Dragon Token, placed it in front of him, and said calmly: "Just do whatever you want to do!"

This time I came here to stand on the platform. Even if it breaks the sky, I will carry it for him!

Looking at the True Dragon Order so close at hand, it was less than an arm's length away.

Yanbei knows its privileges. With it, no one in Anzhou can stop him, and he also wants revenge in his heart! Let her taste despair.

In the end, she didn't do it. She seemed to be asking herself: "No name, she wants to get married, and you have no right to stop her! But why didn't she write a letter and tell her about it? Even if she wants to break up, she will break it off cleanly." ! Her Huang family is indeed rich, but I am not a groveling or shameless person, let alone a stalker, so why should I hide it? "

Zhang Ronghua said: "When you are powerful, have experienced a lot, and have a lot of knowledge, when you look back, you will realize that things you could never forget even after death are just like this!"

He took out a bottle of Shangjing wine, an ordinary drink, but very strong, suitable for his current state.

"After today, say goodbye to the past and become a new you!"

Yan Bei grabbed the wine bottle, opened the lid, and drank from his lips. The wine spilled down the corner of his mouth and onto his clothes.

Looking outside.

During the induction, a group of big shots arrived. The leader was wearing a gold-red official uniform, with less gold and more red. There was a blue Luan embroidered on the chest. He was Yin Mu Yuanlan of Anzhou Prefecture. Behind him were the judges and judges, plus the county officials. Shou, Zhenlongdian and others.

The four major departments have branches in the state and county capitals to exterminate demons and ghosts and protect the peace of the country. They are stationed in the Guizhen Dragon Palace in Anzhou.

Just pick one of these people out, and the state capital will be shaken.

The government soldiers, government officials, and people from Zhenlong Palace were enforcing martial law and maintaining order. The huge commotion alarmed the nearby people. Seeing these big shots stopped at the door of Yan's house, they did not dare to go in. They were curious, what were they doing?

Neighbors have been neighbors for so long that they know each other well.

Yanbei has not been home to visit his relatives for three years in the army. Did he make meritorious service on the battlefield? Even if he is just a small soldier, no matter how great his achievements are, he can't reach the top in one step, let alone allow Zhou Yin and others to come forward.

I couldn't figure it out, so I kept watching.

Zhang Ronghua stood up and smiled slightly: "You continue to eat."

Yan Bei put down the wine bottle and followed him.

Outside the hospital.

When Mu Yuanlan heard the news coming from below, his first reaction was that he had made a mistake! The Marquis is far away in the capital, why is Hao Duanduan here? I have never heard that he has relatives in Anzhou. As a member of Pei Cai Cai's family, he holds a high position and knows a lot. The Zhang family is a native of the capital, and his relatives and friends are all in the capital. If he denies this, he should come here to do things!

Pei Cai Cai's faction and Zhang Ronghua's faction can be said to be one faction.

Now that the big boss of his own faction is here, even if he is at the same level, he doesn't dare to show off and keeps his posture very low. He immediately summons the judges and referees to rush here.

The people in the True Dragon Palace are more well-informed. Their palace master and the Marquis are very close. If they don't take the opportunity to show off now, when will they show off?

If you fall into the eyes of the Marquis, if you say a few nice words in front of the palace master, you can be transferred back to the capital, and you don't have to suffer here anymore!

The two groups of people met on the road. When they got here, they met the county guard and others again, and they walked together.

Everyone saluted: "I have met the Marquis!"

Zhang Ronghua nodded, glanced at them, and did not let them back down. This time he built momentum for Yanbei, pointing at him and introducing: "This is Yanbei, a military lord under my command. This time I am here to do something for him."

Yanbei saluted: "I have met all of you, sir!"

Mu Yuanlan nodded, everyone present was a human spirit, knowing that Yanbei climbed up to the Marquis of Nancheng, like a sparrow flying onto a sycamore tree, rising completely.

in the crowd.

County Magistrate Cheng remembered that his youngest son's wife seemed to be childhood sweethearts with Yanbei. Later, he went to join the army. In order to catch up with him and make her the Huang family's supporter, Huang's father suggested that Huang Shanshan be betrothed to Cheng Li.

After thinking about it for a moment, he agreed.

With the support of the Huang family's money, promotion will be faster, and both sides can get what they need.

As agreed in advance, Cheng Li came to visit. Huang's father deliberately created an opportunity for the two to meet. Using the former's knowledge, he worked hard for a period of time, and Huang's mother turned a deaf ear. It didn't take long before he captured her heart. What happened next.

Unexpectedly, the minor role back then had been forgotten, and now that he had climbed up to a high branch, the Marquis of Nancheng was actually allowed to put down his body and take a trip himself.

My heart was in my throat, and I guessed with my feet that Yan Bei's return this time must be related to Huang Shanshan.

She became her daughter-in-law and gave birth to a pair of twins... The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. If there was a regret medicine in the world, she would not have agreed to this marriage even if she had killed him.

Chief Secretary Zhou Wen has been staring at Magistrate Cheng's buttocks for more than a day or two. Over the years, he has secretly collected evidence, but he has no backer. The latter then climbed up to the magistrate, and with his protection, even if he handed over the things He can't be defeated, and he is even in danger, so he has endured it until now.

She knew everything about the Cheng family, including the turmoil between Huang Shanshan and Yan Bei, and even scorned Cheng Li during their wedding. Even if her palace guard was still there, she might not be clean.

His thoughts were spinning so fast that he couldn't find any opportunities even with a lantern. Now he was suing Magistrate Cheng. With Mu Yuanlan's relationship with the Marquis of Nancheng, he would definitely be taken down. Even the magistrate would be unlucky. With luck, we can go one step further.

fail?

impossible! There is no greater hatred than the hatred of killing one's father or taking away one's wife.

All he had to do was to "go beyond" and not follow the rules. He was forced to work in his current position until retirement. After thinking about the pros and cons, he stood up immediately.

County Magistrate Cheng kept staring at him. When he saw him coming out of the queue, he was so frightened that he couldn't care so much. He immediately shouted: "Master Marquis has no one in front of you, so why don't you come back quickly!"

With one step, he stood in front of him.

The movement here attracted the attention of Zhang Ronghua and others.

The governor's face immediately turned cold, and he was holding back his anger. As a county magistrate, he couldn't even control his subordinates. He slipped up at the critical moment. His ability was seriously incompetent and he couldn't bear the heavy responsibility. He secretly decided to find an opportunity to deal with it after this matter was over. He transferred away and shouted: "Quiet!"

Zhou Wen was determined and said loudly: "Mr. Mu, I will sue County Magistrate Cheng for colluding with the richest man Huang, secretly exchanging old grain with yellow sand for new grain in the granary, and lining his own pockets!"

Magistrate Cheng's eyes were blazing and he retorted: "False! Since Cheng became an official, he has always been strict with himself and kept himself clean. Not to mention sneaking in new grains, he has not even been greedy for a penny."

He bowed to everyone and spoke righteously.

"Master Zhou and his subordinates refused to deal with each other. They have always violated the law. This time, they are even more audacious. They actually spit blood in front of the Marquis. Please seek justice."

Seeing that they will continue to quarrel.

Mu Yuanlan had a cold face and waved his hand, and the scene became quiet. He didn't know what happened between the Cheng family and Yan Bei, so he had to suppress it first and deal with it later. For now, he had to entertain the Marquis first.

Without waiting to speak.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Let him talk!"

Mu Yuanlan frowned, always feeling that there was something hidden here that he didn't know about. How could a small county magistrate fall into the eyes of the Marquis? Looking at Yan Bei, an idea flashed, and combined with the current news, he vaguely guessed something.

Zhou Wen stepped forward, bowed and spoke, telling the story in detail.

No matter how well-kept the county government's granary is, there will be some loss, mold, deterioration, etc. every year. These grains cannot be eaten. They should be disposed of directly and purchase new grains for emergency use!

Magistrate Cheng colluded with the richest man Huang and embezzled a large amount of money every year in the name of "loss".

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, the sheriff has no right to speak.

Mu Yuanlan asked, "Where is the thing?"

Zhou Wen said: "There is a secret cabinet in Xiaguan's study, and the evidence of the crime is in it."

Mu Yuanlan looked at his confidant, and ordered him to take someone to get it.

soon.

The confidant returned and handed over a green jade box.

Open the box.

Mu Yuanlan took out the account book and looked at it carefully. The records were very detailed, from purchasing to handling them in the name of "loss", including the people who handled them.

Close the ledger and order: "Take him down!"

The soldiers and horses of the state capital quickly rushed forward and subdued Magistrate Cheng.

But it's not over yet.

He couldn't accomplish such a big thing by himself. There must be someone behind him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide it until now without leaking any news.

An indifferent look fell on the county magistrate: "As the magistrate of Feilong County, it is difficult to escape the blame for this incident under my rule. I will be dismissed immediately and temporarily detained until the case is investigated thoroughly before making a decision."

"My lord, I have wronged you!"

Mu Yuanlan didn't even look at it, looked at the judge, and issued a death order: "No matter what method you use, find out the case within an hour! Those involved will be killed or exiled!"

"Yes!" The judge replied.

The factions he belongs to are different, so he still doesn't have to deal with them. At this moment, he doesn't dare to refute. After climbing to his high position, if there is any trouble in the capital, he will immediately report it. Don't talk about himself, even if the big boss of the faction comes, in this case, He didn't dare to arm-wrestle with Zhang Ronghua. He saw clearly that the case must not only be handled, but also handled beautifully. He must not give the other party a chance, otherwise when he returns, those censors will intervene in him as soon as possible. Ben, once the documents from Dali Temple are handed down, no one can keep them!

Waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Magistrate Cheng was anxious, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw: "Please save me for Shanshan's sake!"

Such a long time has passed.

Yan Bei has calmed down. Such a woman is not worthy of his love. He said coldly: "She is her and I am me. There is no relationship between us."

The officials present finally understood. No wonder the Marquis intervened in the matter. It turned out that the woman from Yanbei was snatched away by the son of Magistrate Cheng. No wonder Zhou Wen jumped out at this time!

The judge shouted: "Shut up!"

Magistrate Cheng continued to struggle: "Once the Cheng family is finished, the Huang family will have to follow. Huang Shanshan will not be able to escape because of the implication. Do you want to see her taken to the capital and beaten into the Jiaofang Division?"

The judge was angry and asked him to continue speaking. If the Marquis of Nancheng was angry, he would be in trouble too. He ordered someone to come forward and roughly remove Magistrate Cheng's chin and take away the relevant people.

Zhang Ronghua said hello and led Mu Yuanlan and Tuiguan into the courtyard. The other people did not have enough status and could only wait outside.

The people around were watching carefully, but they didn't expect a big melon to burst out. When they saw Magistrate Cheng, who was usually arrogant and arrogant, he was taken away like a prisoner. Looking at the dilapidated small courtyard in front of them, the Yan family was so prosperous!

The news spread like a gust of wind. When they learned that Yanbei had climbed up to Nanchenghou, relatives of the Yan family and Danfan, who had connections with each other, came one after another carrying old hens, eggs, or other gifts, hoping to catch a ride on Zhang Ronghua. They were all stopped outside by the soldiers and horses of the state capital.

In the courtyard.

Zhang Ronghua introduced both parties. Yang Hongling was very sensible. After saying hello, he helped Grandma Yan into the house and gave up the space.

The food on the table has been removed and replaced with Lingcha Donghai Wanling Tea. While drinking tea, they chatted. They were all by themselves and spoke very casually.

A cry came from outside.

"Don't stop me, let me in!"

Yan Bei clenched his hands into fists, and his mood that had just calmed down became violent again. It seemed as if there was a flame burning invisibly, and he stared outside.

Zhang Ronghua saw very clearly that if this matter is not resolved, he will always feel pain in his heart, so he said: "I can only help you so far, and you have to face the rest by yourself."

Yan Bei hesitated, then bowed solemnly, with firm eyes, and strode outside.

10,000 words burst!

Relatives came to the house today, and Ba Zhao apologized to his brothers and sisters for the delay.

Please give me your monthly ticket, brothers and sisters, rush to duck.
