Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 598 The cooperation of the Xie family

A month later, Aunt Liu left the customs with a solid cultivation base.

The Jindan Banquet held by the Liang family was also held as scheduled.

The monks who came to participate in the Golden Alchemy Banquet of the Liang family, apart from belonging to several counties in Xinhai County, also belonged to the rich and powerful families in the lower counties of Xinhai County.

As the sheriff of Xinhai County, Liang Zhaohuang can be said to be the No. 1 in Xinhai County, and he is the direct subordinate and immediate boss of the wealthy families in the following counties.

For the rich and powerful in various counties, it is difficult to get in touch with Liang Zhaohuang and Liang Jiala, and to make friends, and they can't find a way.

But this time, the Liang family held the Jindan Banquet, which was naturally the best time for them to give gifts and make friends.

For the rich and powerful in various counties under Xinhai County, regardless of whether they received the invitation from the Liang family, the congratulatory gift must be delivered, and the Liang family should put their own name on it. Minor.

After Liang Zhaohuang learned about these situations, he naturally asked his clansmen to fill up the invitation and sent it to the rich and powerful families in the counties under the county who gave gifts.

At the same time, he seemed to understand the role of the "Tongqupu" with "hands and eyes reaching the sky" in Luyang County back then.

Liang Zhaohuang was even thinking about whether to set up a shop similar to 'Tongqupu' in this Xinhai county town?

In addition to the counties and rich families of Xinhai County, there are also some counties who are friendly with each other in the adjacent counties of Xinhai County to participate in the "Jindan Banquet", just like the Wangmen of Jinsha County who had exchanged with Jinsha County before. Lingshui' Jinjia.

In Yingzhou Xinli, the prefects of the various counties, relatively speaking, did not have much communication and knowledge before. Now the prefects of the counties are actively digesting the gains from the development of the East China Sea and improving themselves; Expand the network of relationships, down to the counties under the county, up to the Xie family in the middle of the prefecture, and the most suitable and extensive communication partners are undoubtedly the prefects of the neighboring counties.

Therefore, although Yingzhou has only been established for a few years, the Liang family in the eight counties of Yingzhou has already established some contacts with the prefects of several counties. Go to the invitation card, the invitation is not only to participate in the banquet, but also to deepen communication and friendship.

In addition, Liang Zhaohuang personally wrote an invitation card among the Xie family of the Yingzhou family 'Lanzhiyu' and sent it to his family members, inviting his former boss Xie Wenyun to attend the Jindan Banquet.

Regardless of whether the other party will come or not, the invitation from the Liang family will be delivered.

As for the outside of Yingzhou, the inland of the Xian Dynasty, the Liang family knew and made friends with the various families, such as the 'Chiding' Wang family and the 'Longjiang' Yang family, etc., were too far away, so they did not send invitations.

After all, it was just a golden elixir feast for the Liang family, not a Nascent Soul feast.

With the holding of the Jindan Banquet, the nobles from all the counties in Xinhai County, the counties in the county, and the counties from the surrounding counties have all rushed to the table one after another.

However, the members of the Xie family from the Yingzhou aristocratic family never came.

Seeing that the auspicious time had come, Liang Zhaohuang could only order the Jindan Banquet to start first.

But when the banquet was over and Aunt Liu was about to give the Golden Core Lecture, she was notified by the family's children that Xie Wenyun from the Xie family of the Yingzhou family had come.

Liang Zhaohuang frowned when he heard this, but he still asked Jin Danyan to wait a while, and led people to welcome him out.

After a few years, Liang Zhaohuang saw his boss and collaborator Xie Wenyun again. The appearance of the other party has not changed much, but his temperament and momentum have changed a lot.

Not only has his cultivation already reached the mid-term Golden Core level, but he is even more confident and high-spirited.

But it can also be seen that 'Lanzhiyu' Xie's promotion to a third-rank family has a huge impact on him.

"Haha... this subordinate has seen the old boss!"

When Liang Zhaohuang saw Xie Wenyun, his face was full of smiles, and he stepped forward to pay respects.

"Haha... No need, you are also a Jindan real person now, and you are the head of a county, you and I can be friends of the same generation."

Xie Wenyun returned the gift with a smile and said.

"Originally, after accepting the invitation from your Liang family, I came to the banquet with people and gifts, but something happened on the way, which delayed me for some time. I hope I didn't come too late."

"It's not too late! It's not too late... as long as the young master can come." After speaking, Liang Zhaohuang asked with concern: "Young master, did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

Xie Wenyun heard the words, nodded, shook his head again, and said: "It's not troublesome, but on the way here, I found a demon cultivator who is good at seizing houses and hiding, as mentioned in your previous memorial. , After chasing and killing him all the way, although he was beheaded, it was delayed for some time."

The kind of shadow magic cultivator who is good at hiding!
Liang Zhaohuang's heart couldn't help but move when he heard the words. Hearing what the other party said, he could find such a hidden phantom demon cultivator on the way here.

"Young Master Xie..." Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the Xie family already has a way to track down the ghostly shadow that seized the house and was lurking?"

Xie Wenyun nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and said: "The State Shepherd's Mansion attaches great importance to these latent demon cultivators after receiving your memorial, so under the personal leadership of Master State Shepherd, they have already researched the means to track down those demon cultivators."

"Now, on Yingzhou Island, our Xie family is conducting a large-scale investigation to clean up those hidden magic cultivators."

"Next, the investigation of Moxiu will be carried out throughout Yingzhou."

Liang Zhaohuang nodded slightly when he heard the words. Sure enough, for their Liang family, and even the newly rising prefects in Xinhai County, it was difficult to track down and deal with the phantom magic cultivator, but it has been passed down for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. For the Xie family, who had been promoted to the top of the third-rank family, it was easy to find a way to investigate and deal with the demon cultivators.

This is the difference in background and strength.

However, now is obviously not the time to talk about things, the Jindan Banquet is still going on inside.

Liang Zhaohuang immediately led Xie Wenyun into the Golden Alchemy Banquet, and Aunt Liu continued to teach the Golden Alchemy.

With the end of Aunt Liu's Fa lecture, the entire golden elixir banquet was successfully completed without any problems in the middle.

All the county tycoons and prefects who came to participate in the Jindan Banquet dispersed, but none of them left Xinhai County.

These people are all well-informed people, but after the Jindan Banquet, basically they have already got the news that the Xie family from the Yingzhou family has come, and they are in the Liang family.

These people, no matter if they were the prefects of the county or the wealthy families of the county, stayed at this time because they wanted to find an opportunity to visit the children of the Xie family who controlled Yingzhou.

After all, these prefects and rich families of the county are all based in Yingzhou, and the Xie family can be regarded as their direct superiors.

Usually it is difficult to build a relationship, but since there is an opportunity at this time, naturally they are not willing to give up.

Liang Zhaohuang was well aware of this, and even the family leaders of various counties in Xinhai County, such as the Wu family, the Song family, and the Lin family, had already sent people to inquire about the news.

However, Liang Zhaohuang blocked all these things temporarily.

After the golden pill banquet, another small banquet was held in the family, mainly for Xie Wenyun.

At the banquet, everyone talked about the cooperation in Ludong County, the battle in the East China Sea, and the final battle to attack Bafang Island.

In this way, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the topic also came to the matter of this investigation of hidden magic cultivators.

However, before Liang Zhaohuang started asking, Xie Wenyun was the first to talk about it, saying:
"This kind of phantom magic cultivator is a magic cultivator who specializes in devouring souls. It abandons the body and specializes in cultivating demon souls. After the soul devours the body, it hides in the flesh of others. It is not a special method, and it is the most difficult to track down."

"The State Shepherd's Mansion also developed an investigation method after carefully studying the method of this soul-devouring demon cultivator."

"It's just that this kind of investigation method involves some foundations and secrets of my Xie family, so it can't be spread to outsiders. I can only send people from my Xie family to investigate everywhere and be responsible for eliminating these phantom demon cultivators!"

"I am now the inspection captain appointed by Yingzhou State Shepherd's Mansion, and I am one of the persons in charge responsible for tracking down this kind of phantom cultivator."

"This time I came to Xinhai County, not only to attend the Jindan Banquet of your family, but also to check Xinhai County and its subordinate counties to see if there are any hidden phantom demon cultivators!"

The investigation methods cannot be issued, and the Xie family's children must investigate everywhere?
When Liang Zhaohuang heard this, he didn't believe it immediately, he just looked at Xie Wenyun, but the other party smiled and didn't explain further.

He suddenly understood that this was probably the intention of the Xie family. He wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the demon cultivators and investigate all the counties and counties in Yingzhou, so as to strengthen and deepen the Xie family's understanding of all the people under Yingzhou. The understanding and mastery of counties and counties.

After all, the counties and counties under Yingzhou were basically established by the various clans.

The Xie family's Yingzhou Island was even laid down with the help of Xianchao, and it took the seat of the Yingzhou family.

His understanding and grasp of the counties and counties under Yingzhou is basically only some superficial information reported by the counties and counties themselves.

As for the specific internal situation and detailed information, the Xie family is blank.

Now, it has been a few years since the establishment of the tripod in Yingzhou, and the Xie family has initially stabilized their status as a family in Yingzhou, and the situation on Yingzhou Island is almost sorted out.

It also happened to be the most suitable excuse to investigate the shadow demon cultivator, so I wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the counties and counties under the prefecture, grasp and understand the specific situation and information of each place, and strengthen and deepen the Xie family's understanding of each county. The control and rule of counties and counties is also a conceivable choice.

Otherwise, after the 30-year tax holiday is over, the Xie family may not even know if there is any problem with the taxes paid by the counties and counties.

Not to mention the control over the entire Yingzhou.

As an aristocratic family in the state, the 'Lanzhiyu' Xie family obviously would not allow such a situation to exist.

Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts turned straight, he had already figured out the front and back, and at the same time, he also understood that Xie Wenyun's coming here at this time was not only to participate in the Jindan Banquet, but also to let him stand in line!
Stand on the side of Xie's house, or on the opposite side?
This is undoubtedly a dilemma. If you stand on the side of Xie's family, you will offend the various counties and powerful figures in the counties, and even harm your own interests; but if you stand opposite Xie's family, their Liang family may be regarded as a typical target by Xie's family immediately. To target, even to kill chickens and monkeys!
Thinking of this, Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help showing a wry smile, looked at Xie Wenyun, and said: "Xie Xiaowei, the Liang family and I believe that we have respected fellow Taoists and the Xie family over the years. We cooperated happily when we were in Ludong County. Now Why did you come to harm me!"

Xie Wenyun smiled when he heard the words, and said: "This is not harming you, but just another cooperation. Isn't the cooperation between you and me very pleasant all the time?"
