Chapter 14 One hundred thousand taels of silver
Qin Yun and Tian Bo left on horseback and finally returned to their homes separately.
And on the Huayang River they had just passed by, the pleasure boat finally slowly landed.
"Brother Yu Bai, say goodbye."
"Brother Wang, it's dark, be careful on the road."
Yu Bai's talented man and another friend parted.
Yu Bai was quite handsome and elegant, but with a hint of decadence. Just as he was about to leave with his servants, a madam walked down the boat, and the madam said repeatedly: "Young Master Yu."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yu Bai's talented man said calmly.
The madam smiled and said, "My Rumeng Pavilion Master has admired Master Yu for a long time and has always been very happy with Master Yu's poems. I wonder if Master Yu can meet Master Yu at first sight."
"I came to Guangling, and I still have important things. I can't go to see the Pavilion Master." Yu Bai's talented man said calmly.
"My pavilion master really admires Mr. Yu very much. Why don't Mr. Yu meet me to comfort my pavilion master's pain of missing you?" The madam said repeatedly.
"No need." Yu Bai's talented man saw that the other party was still talking, so he turned around and left.
The madam watched from behind, and could only stomp her feet, but she had no choice but to go back to the pleasure boat.
Yu Bai's talented man walked leisurely with his servants to protect him.
"Master, that Rumeng Pavilion Master really has the means to invite the master several times. Even the master came to the boat at the invitation of his friend. The madam on the boat was hers, and they all came to invite him." The guard smiled, "And she has not appeared yet."
"Ru Meng Pavilion Master." Yu Bai's great talent smiled, "I was originally a famous prostitute in the capital, but she was not very famous in the capital! But in the capital, there were more high-ranking officials and powerful people. She has accumulated some money over the years and has some connections with high-ranking officials. When she got older, she returned to her hometown Guangling County and built Ru Meng Pavilion! She was the leader of the palace. I heard that she chose the courtesan the year before, so she used her connections to win the position of the courtesan.”
"It would have been fine if she was young, but she deserved it. But she is no longer young, not as good as she was back then. There are not many people chasing her. She won the position of courtesan the year before yesterday, and many people in Guangling County were very unfair and felt it was unfair!"
"She wants me to help her, but why do I help her?" Yu Bai's talented man sneered, "Woman, you have to see yourself clearly. When you are old, don't argue with those little girls."
"Master, how old is the Lord Rumeng Pavilion this year?" asked the guard.
"Although you can refine your energy and continue your youth, you're still thirty-five." Yu Bai's talented man shook his head, "It's too big for a famous prostitute."
"So big?"
"I'm a teenager older than me, and I'm almost the same as my mother." Another servant next to me was also surprised.
The talented man Yu Bai smiled.
...
Walking all the way, the beach at the shore of the pleasure boat was close to the inn where you were temporarily staying. Yu Bai's talented man quickly took his servants to the inn to escort him.
"Master, Master." A waiting servant came across the inn.
"What's the point of making a fuss?" said the talented man Yu Bai.
"Master, I have heard about the cultivator." The servant said excitedly.
"Cultivation Immortal?" Yu Bai's great talented man's eyes lit up, "Speak quickly, who is the cultivator, whose name is, and where is it?"
"The news I heard from Yanfeng Tower is a cultivator named Qin Yun." The servant said, "I heard that it is a local from Guangling County. When he was thirteen years old, he combined a sword to refine Qi in the nine floors. He left home six years ago to travel around the world. Now he has returned and has knocked on the immortal gate. He is a god! Just in Yanfeng Tower tonight, the cultivator "Qin Yun" threw the young master Liu Qi of the Liu family from Guangling County directly down the stairs, and his face was covered with blood! The cultivator also said, "Miss Chen Shuang is my sister. If he offended Miss Chen Shuang, he would offend me Qin Yun."
The servant also learned it on purpose.
"Yanfenglou, Miss Chenshuang?" Yu Bai's great talented man felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Where does this Qin Yun cultivator live?"
"He is from Guangling County, and is in Qin Mansion." The servant said, "The only one in Guangling County can be called Qin Mansion, and the mansion of Yinzhang's captain 'Qin Liehu'. This Qin Yun is the second son of Qin Mansion."
Yu Bai's great talent nodded: "Afu, you will send my post to Qin Mansion tomorrow."
"Yes." The servant Afu said respectfully.
Yu Bai's great talent had deep eyes, but he said silently in his heart: "I wonder how deep this immortal Qin Yun cultivator has to have with that famous prostitute, Miss Chenshuang, and I wonder if he has the ability to help me!"
"Also, go and inquire about what kind of friendship this immortal Qin Yunxiu and that girl Chenshuang have." Yu Bai's great talent told me.
"Master, don't worry." said servant Afulian.
*******
Early the next morning.
Qin Mansion, martial arts training ground.
Qin Yun was practicing sword leisurely, but he was still unhappy, but the sword light was hazy, like a dream. If Miss Chenshuang’s “Sword Dance” is a combination of swordsmanship and dance skills, giving people a beautiful enjoyment. Then Qin Yun is purely swordsmanship itself, which can make the viewer feel as if he enters a dream world and can’t help but be intoxicated by it, which is beyond the scope of “skills”.
"Hu." Put your sword in the sheath and go for breakfast.
Drinking thick rice porridge, I suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from outside, and soon I saw Qin Liehu and Qin An coming together.
"Dad, you haven't been back for two nights." Qin Yun smiled, "Hurry up and have a bowl of porridge."
Qin Liehu sat down, and immediately took a few sips, drank a small half of a large bowl of porridge, and then ordered: "Everyone else goes down."
"Yes, lord." The maid who served him retreated.
Only Qin Liehu and two sons remained in the hall.
"Brother, have you brought your wife and children here?" Qin Yun smiled. He didn't notice it when he came back last night, but only discovered it this morning.
"The monster was eyeing me before. Although you said you had solved the disaster, how can I feel at ease? It would be fine if I die alone, but if there is any accident in my wife and children..." said the eldest brother Qin Anlian, "I'd better come back, there is a father here, and you second brother! I feel more at ease here."
"Yes." Qin Yun nodded slightly. Yes, my elder brother is an ordinary person after all, how can he not be afraid of monsters?
Qin Liehu looked at Qin Yun: "Yun'er, I heard from your elder brother that on the night you came back, I went to investigate in secret and solved the disaster? But that old demon Chu Yong?"
"The one hiding in the big brother's house is a cat demon, hiding for half a year." Qin Yun took two sips of porridge and smiled, "She was also ordered to act, and the monster leader Chu Yong was instructed. That night, I caught the cat demon and went to the underground palace of the old monster Chu Yong. The old monster Chu Yong also admitted that he wanted to turn the big brother into a demon servant and use it to threaten his father. After knowing everything, I took the monsters, including the old monster Chu Yong, to a pot!"
"You really did it."
Qin Liehu sighed, "I saw the underground palace and knew it was the old demon Chu Yong. I thought at that time, whether it was Yun'er, you were the one who took action! But I thought at that time, you were too young, and it was not long before I knocked on the immortal gate. I should not be able to defeat such an old demon."
"Dad, you underestimate your second brother." Qin An said beside him.
"It's been six years, Yun'er's strength is better than I expected." Qin Liehu said with a smile.
"The old demon Chu Yong's skin is quite thick, even if thousands of arrows are fired at once, and even some powerful crossbows cannot break his fur." Qin Yun sighed.
"Yun'er, it's a big problem for my Guangling County City. This old demon entrenched here and caused a lot of disasters. There are bone pits in his underground palace, all of which are left over from their sucking people." Qin Liehu shook his head, "These demons really deserve to be killed."
"Eat people? Bone pit?" The eldest brother Qin An was surprised.
"Man eats livestock, and monsters can also eat people, which is very common." Qin Yun said, "Monsters also divide good and evil, and there are good monsters. However, the old monster Chu Yong should indeed kill them."
"An'er, don't spread the story of your second brother killing the monster Chu Yong." Qin Liehu instructed.
"I understand." Qin Anlian nodded.
...
At this moment, the county magistrate's office and the county magistrate's office are naturally very large because there are 600 personal guards stationed there.
A man in brocade robe stood nervously in a small courtyard waiting.
"The county magistrate suddenly summoned me, I don't know what happened." The man in the brocade robe was panicked. There was no way. Although he was the patriarch of the "Liu Family" a famous wealthy family in Guangling County, the Liu family was even called one of the three major families of Guangling County. But the Liu family knew that the Liu family was dependent on the power of the county magistrate! In front of the county magistrate, their Liu family was a dog!
Dog, loyal and guarding the house.
The owner threw a bone, and the dog shook his head and tail and went to eat happily.
One day, the owner will kill the dog! The dog can only die!
"I did nothing wrong. I did everything the county magistrate ordered." Thoughts appeared in the mind of the man in the brocade robe.
"Captain Liu, come with me." An old servant walked over and said with a smile.
"Butler Wang, I wonder what happened to the county magistrate suddenly summoned him?" Liu clan leader tried to please him and stuffed a silver note into Butler Liu's hand. Butler Liu glanced at a silver note of 100 taels, showed a smile, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Master, he is in a good mood, I'm afraid it's not a bad thing."
Clan Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, it was introduced into a garden.
An old man in a simple gray robe sat opposite a man in a green robe.
"Greetings to the county magistrate, the commander!" As soon as the leader of the Liu clan came, he immediately saluted respectfully.
Needless to say, the county magistrate is the existence of absolute power in Guangling County, and is full of military and political power. No one dares to violate his orders. Below the seventh rank, be executed first and then report, and above the seventh rank, can also be detained directly. In order to deal with monsters, the "county magistrate" must be guaranteed! Like some local wealthy families, the county magistrate can find a reason to destroy the family and destroy the clan.
The man in the green robe was the most powerful man in Guangling County, and was a powerful man in the innate Xudan Realm, and was the commander of the county magistrate’s personal guard!
"Your Liu family needs to pay the money this year, don't wait for the end of the year." The plain old man in gray robe said casually, "I need it within half a month, can I get it all?"
Chief Liu was in a state of trouble.
The Liu family relies on the power of the county magistrate to make a lot of money, so they naturally have to pay their money every year. However, it is usually the end of each year, and now it is only March.
"By the way, I need 100,000 taels." The old man in the plain gray robe added another sentence.
The Liu clan leader raised his eyebrows. Isn’t it usually 80,000 taels of silver a year? How did it increase?
"Don't worry, magistrate, I will definitely get 100,000 taels in half a month." However, Clan Liu did not complain at all.
"Yes." The old man in gray robe nodded slightly, "I heard that Liu Qi from your family ran into the second son of the Qin Mansion last night at Yanfeng Tower?"
"Yes, yes, yes." said Liu Clan Chief, "I have already punished him severely."
"I'm lucky. The second young man from Qin's family didn't do anything ruthless." The old man in gray robe waved his hand casually, "Okay, go down."
“Yes yes.”
