Take a Door with You

Based on the analysis of the current situation, at least we can know that the Shenhou Mansion is not short of manpower, and there are many masters.

"Overnight, sixty-one rich and powerful families in the city received threatening letters, all of which fell from the sky. None of the senders were broken into or caught, and they didn't even see it."

"Bang, I saw the order, but no one."

"Either they are masters, or there are ghosts in every household."

"If it's the former, to be able to be such an infallible master last night, the strength must not be weak, at least the lightness kung fu must exceed ordinary people. And it must cover the entire Xijing City. Two or three masters will definitely not work, and the number must not be small."

After Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised, he frowned again.

In the vast city of Xijing, if you want to deliver the "God's Order" and "Statement of Guilt" in one night, without anyone noticing or revealing any flaws, how much ability is required, I dare not go into details think.

Every household is strictly on guard, and there are masters in charge, so they can't catch even one person?

How strong is it?

How high is the light work?

Assuming that it is not an expert who sends the letter, but there is a ghost inside, it is also not easy to accurately place the ghost in sixty-one families, or even more wealthy families.

And not to be discovered, even more difficult than foreign masters committing crimes.

In short -

The energy of the Shenhou Mansion was beyond Lu Yu's imagination.

"If you can't catch the current situation, you can only go to Wuqin Village to have a look."

Lu Yu looked at Yang Huaigu: "What's the details of Wuqin Village?"

"Ordinary cottage."

"On the surface, there are a total of five village masters. The real master is the Dazhai master 'Han Qinhu', known as the 'Scarred Tiger'. There are few black households, who have reclaimed hundreds of acres of Susukida, and then forcibly expropriated and requisitioned them in ten miles and eight townships, which is notorious."

Yang Huaigu obviously knew about Wuqin Village beforehand.

But lo and behold!

Obviously, it is easy to find out that Wuqin Village has a lot of evil deeds, but this cottage is still located in the mountains.

The mediocrity of the government can be seen.

Lu Yu frowned even more as he listened.

It's not that the government is angry because the government allows bandit villages like Wuqinzhai to exist.

This is nothing to him.

He was puzzled: "Although 'Tiedan Shenhou' acts recklessly, he doesn't look like someone who has anything to do with a village with such a reputation."

"The lower officials have dispatched people to investigate quickly, and there should be news in the afternoon."

Yang Huaigu's subjective initiative is extremely strong——

First, quickly investigate the situation of each family in Xijing City and count the numbers.

He also confiscated all the decrees and indictments of the gods to minimize the impact of the situation, and try to hide it as much as possible.

I also learned about Wuqin Village in advance.

In the end, they sent people to Wuqin Village to investigate as soon as possible.

All the work beforehand was done by him.

This kind of subordinate is too comfortable to use.

"well done."

Lu Yu praised briefly, and then fell into deep thought: "What is the current attitude of the sixty-one families, including the major yamen in Xijing Prefecture, towards the 'Shen Hou Ling'?"

Shenhou Mansion asked the Yamen not to intervene.

The sixty-one families were required to send the 'criminal' and 'penalty money' to the 'Wu Qin Zhai' by themselves.

Facing the threat from the Shenhou Mansion——

How should the yamen at all levels in Xijing respond?

How should the sixty-one powerful families respond?

Would you rather believe in something than in nothing?

Or turn a deaf ear and resolutely resist?

Lu Yu has already seen that among the sixty-one families' crimes, some were sentenced to ten or eight years in prison, and some were sentenced to death. Among them, Diao Nu and Evil Servants are okay, but there are also members of various bloodlines who have been included in the list.

Are they willing to be punished?

impossible.

Long.

For example, the Pan family in Xijing.

The Pan family was divided into eight households after being a member of Duke Pan, the governor of the government. They have recently declined, but with the help of Mr. Pan's old friendship, they were able to trade under the name of the Ministry of Households. There is friendship, so the business is booming.

In Xijing City, the Pan family has a saying that 'pearls are like earth and gold is like iron', which describes that they have millions of assets and are extremely rich.

Pan Gong's legacy.

Take care of the government.

Powerful and powerful.

In the past, no one dared to provoke the Pan family.

But this time, among the sixty-one families, there was the Pan family, and it was the sixteen-year-old head of the Pan family who was named. This person's name is Pan Sheng, because he lost his father when he was young, and his widowed mother was indulgent and spoiled, he has a extravagant temperament and arrogant speech since he was young. Although he also went to school, he only knows a few words, and he just fights cocks and horses all day long, and travels around mountains and rivers.

A few days ago, relying on his wealth and power, Pan Sheng forcibly bought his beloved "Wu Yinglian" as his maidservant, and ordered his slaves to beat Wu Yinglian's fiancé-in-law, Feng Yuan, to death, causing a catastrophe.

But the cover-up was timely, there were official contacts to excuse, and there was no shortage of money to open the way, so that nothing happened.

I thought I could always get away with it.

pity.

Known by the Shenhou Mansion, the government does not hold the Shenhou Mansion under its control.

The Pan family was ordered to hand over Pan Sheng, and he was sentenced to 60 years in prison and fined 1,200 taels of silver.

A fine of silver is nothing, let alone one thousand two hundred taels, if it can buy your life, it is twelve thousand taels, and the Pan family is absolutely unambiguous.

But it is unacceptable for Pan Sheng to be imprisoned by the Shenhou Mansion for 60 years.

The Pan family will definitely not obey.

"It's not just the Pan family."

"Princess Yongjia of Lu Guogong's mansion is arrogant and domineering. He rode horses in the street and burned people and fishing boats. He was sentenced by Shenhou Mansion to three years in prison and fined sixty taels of silver."

Yang Huaigu shook his head.

There are too many situations like the Pan family and Lu Guogong's mansion.

Pan Sheng was indeed too much.

But Princess Yongjia, in the eyes of the people at that time, was not considered a major evil, or even a minor evil.

But the Shenhou Mansion actually wanted to sentence her to three years in prison?

Isn't it absurd!

On the contrary, it is a fine of silver——

Sixty taels?

The majestic princess of the Duke's Mansion, who is he looking down on?

In short, the sentencing standards and fine standards of the Shenhou Mansion, in the eyes of Yang Huaigu, including Lu Yu and many other officials, are a bit nonsensical and confusing.

But whatever.

Lu Yu was not prepared to intervene in how the 61 Family responded.

He can guess—

The Xijing government will definitely not compromise with the Shenhou Mansion, otherwise the court will not be able to explain it.

As for Sixty One.

If it is a family that is a villain and a villain, for the sake of insurance and peace of mind, most of them are willing to send the person together with the fine money to Wuqinzhai to protect the house.

But people like the Pan family and Lu Guogong's mansion, they will definitely not follow, they definitely don't want to send their own children, even dudes, to the tiger's mouth, they can only resist or escape.

That is.

The Shenhou Mansion is bound to punish a group of wealthy families, and the Yamen cannot escape revenge.

"How to punish?"

"How to revenge?"

"It's burning again?"

"How to burn it?"

This is a problem.

...

same day.

Forty miles outside Xijing City, there is Wuqin Village on Wuqin Mountain.

Han Qinhu traveled like the wind, and when he reached the back mountain, he stood in front of an old man wearing a silver mask, and said respectfully: "Senior, almost all the seven papers and Kaihua papers in the neighboring county and collection have been bought back. There are fourteen papers in total. 10,000 sheets, 70 taels of silver. There are other items, 112 taels of silver, this is the list, seniors please have a look."

Daliang's papermaking technology is developing well, and the price is not high.

On average, about 70 Wen per hundred sheets.

140,000 sheets, only 70 taels were used.

Writing utensils such as pens, inks, and inkstones are much more expensive. If you purchase a large amount, you will spend more money, which costs 112 taels.

Cao Xin is too rich now, hundreds of thousands of taels are small numbers.

Less than two hundred taels.

Sprinkle water.

But for ordinary scholars, the consumption over the years is not a small number.

Han Qinhu stood aside, feeling strange, never imagined that the first thing this strange person in front of him did after he was restrained with poisonous pills to control Wuqin Village was to ask him to send people down the mountain to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Take control of a bandit village.

You do this?

Isn't it professional?

Han Qinhu had no idea what this man wanted to do.

But he knows the times—

Can't beat it again and again.

He was also forced to take poisonous pills, and was tortured to death.

I have no choice but to submit.

On this side, the silver-faced old man, that is, Cao Xin, lazily paid attention to what Han Qinhu was thinking, and said in a hoarse voice: "Leave two thousand sheets, and send the rest to the old man. The remaining two thousand sheets will be paid every day." Cut it into forty-nine pieces of paper that are seven inches long and three inches wide, and transcribe these one hundred sentences, each sentence in a thousand copies."

As Cao Xin said, he took out a stack of paper, which was exactly the size of 20*10, and the writing on each sheet was different.

Although Han Qinhu is a rough man, he can still read a few big characters.

He took it respectfully, and looked down——

[Tonight, the Xijing government office is set on fire, and the idlers and others retreat]

"Burn the Xijing government office?"

Han Qinhu stared at him, he was not too frightened, but more surprised: "Senior, this is—"

"Keep watching."

Cao Xin didn't explain.

Han Qinhu hurriedly continued to look through——

[Tonight the Xijing Armory Station is set on fire, and the idlers retreat]

[Tonight, the commander of Xijing will be set on fire, and the idlers will retreat]

[Tonight, the mansion of Yin Yin in Xijing Prefecture was set on fire, and the idlers and others retreated]

[Tonight, the mansion of the Commander in Xijing was set on fire, and the idlers and others retreated]

[Burn Lu Guogong's mansion on fire tonight, idlers and others retreat]

[The Pan family's mansion is set on fire tonight, and the idlers leave]

...

Turn over one by one.

Han Qinhu's face became more and more serious.

Here -

Xijing Yamen.

official residence.

Mansion of a mansion.

One after another, a full hundred, a full hundred places. Any place placed in Xijing City or even Xijing Mansion is a well-known forbidden place, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

But the old man in front of him actually wanted to threaten with 'fire'?

Han Qinhu was stunned for a moment, then startled, and then he had a flash of inspiration, and lost his voice: "You are the god of iron courage?!"

fire!

fire!

In Xijing Mansion, who is the most famous in terms of the project of "burning fire", and the God of Tiedan is the second, who dares to be the first?

This person first set fire to all the gambling houses in Xijing City around the New Year's Eve last year.

After stealing the fierce fire oil from the Xijing Armament Station, they became more and more rampant——

yamen.

city ​​gate.

shops.

Including Lu Guogong's mansion, they were all burned.

Famous and fierce.

Especially on the Tao, the titles of 'Iron Dan Shenhou' and 'Shenhou Mansion' are so resounding that no one can match them.

When Han Qinhu saw these notes, he thought it was a joke at first, but once it was connected with the 'Shenhou Mansion', it——

"You do have a bit of a brain."

"It's a pity that you don't need to be on the right path."

Cao Xin did not deny it, and said to Han Qinhu: "This old man is a "sick old man" under the command of Shenhou. He was ordered to build the "Longevity Hall". Wuqinzhai is the first hall of my Changsheng Hall."

"really!"

Han Qinhu was startled and didn't know what to say for a while.

Shenhou Mansion?

Changshengtang?

He has somehow become a man under the command of Lord Tie Dan Shenhou?

And it seems to be involved in the crazy plan to burn down Xijing City?

This, this, this!

How outrageous!

"rest assured."

"You don't need to burn the city of Xijing, let your brothers copy these notes carefully, and hand them over to the old man before noon."

Cao Xin waved his hand and asked Han Qinhu to step back and do his work.

There are more than 200 bandits, handymen, and servants in Wuqin Village. There should be no more than ten people who can read, but they are only asked to copy the cats and tigers. More than 200 people copy together. It takes two minutes to copy a sentence, and it takes twelve or thirteen hours. I can finish copying.

And count the time.

From Xijing City to Wuqinzhai, forty miles away, one or two hours is more than enough.

"There's not much time, so copy as much as you can."

Cao Xin is not in a hurry.

He didn't count on all these bandits. As early as a few days ago, after confirming the list of the sixty-one families in Xijing, he had already asked those little savage primary school students to transcribe in the original fairyland.

Prepare a lot.

It's just a supplement at this point.

"The dignitaries have always flouted the law and despised human life. Even if I find out that they are guilty, they will not be willing to be punished."

"In three days, those who can take the initiative to come to Wuqin Village are at most those twenty or so servants who committed crimes."

"But I'm afraid I won't come in the first two days. I have to see the government and how the top dignitaries respond before I act."

Cao Xin had already predicted this.

Recalcitrant.

The powerful put pressure.

The army is under pressure.

False and submissive.

Darkness.

It is difficult to accurately predict the reaction of the Xijing government, but Cao Xin can still guess the general direction——

It was a matter of the authority of the imperial court, and all the officials in Xijing were afraid that no one would dare to compromise, at least they would not dare to make a compromise publicly.

For example, Wuqin Village.

This is the only public stronghold of the 'Iron Dan Shenhou' crime so far.

It's good to catch them all.

It doesn't matter if you follow the vine.

Xijing Yamen will definitely not let this place go unattended.

But for Cao Xin——

One pot, it doesn't matter.

Closely monitored, not out of the way.

This Wuqin village is a den of bandits, and if they don't do anything about personnel, they will end it if they end it.

It would be more in line with Cao Xin's intentions to closely monitor and expect to catch big fish for a long time.

He is very clear about his original intention of doing these actions——

On the one hand, it is to punish rape and eliminate evil, and to restore the atmosphere in Xijing.

Secondly, in order to make a name for himself, he would invite good doctors from all over the world to come and study the original fairyland herbal medicines together, and then further study various medicines that can prolong life or increase internal strength to help practice.

When this battle started, the Daliang court had to think carefully about how to treat a fairy like him.

"It's best to get the supervisory power and law enforcement power of Xijing Mansion. In other respects, Shenhou Mansion and the imperial court will not interfere with each other."

This is Cao Xin's initial idea.

As for whether the imperial court will agree——

"Ah!"

"If you don't agree, there will be no peace in Xijing Prefecture!"

Cao Xin is determined to increase his reputation and summon good doctors. This is related to his future practice and cannot be compromised.

...

He ordered Han Qinhu to go down to do things, and put more than 100,000 sheets of paper into the original fairyland together with a lot of pens, inks, and inkstones. They will be used in the future, even if they can't be used up, the little savages in the territory can also use them.

Be afraid of less, not more.

After finishing these, Cao Xin sat cross-legged on the back hill of Wuqin Village, and practiced his kung fu.

It seems that they don't care.

I don't care about the reaction from Xijing City.

But in fact, the divine carving Axia roams the sky, keeping an eye on the movement between Xijing City and Wuqin Mountain all the time, but if there is any abnormality, he can immediately convey it to Cao Xin through the "Beast Controlling Circle".

There is an animal circle.

In addition, the divine eagle Axia is originally a golden eagle alien, with outstanding intelligence.

In terms of high-altitude reconnaissance, it is 800 miles better than Haidongqing, and the Xijing City and the dozens of miles around Wuqin Mountain are under Cao Xin's strict control.

Cao Xin, who has the original fairyland, is always elusive.

Now with the addition of divine sculptures, how can the Xijing government and even the Daliang court fight against him?

"With so many hole cards, how can you beat me?"

Cao Xin has this confidence.

immediately.

While he was meditating, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a message came from the divine sculpture in the sky——

[Xijing City, the army moves out! 】

...
