The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 699 Iceland
"As long as you are a good thing, you useless thing, don't shut up!"

A minister said: "My lord, Mr. Xiang died for no apparent reason. We can't swallow this breath."

Another person came in. This funeral was really lively. The first person to come in was Duke Wen. He didn’t have an imperial decree in his hand, but he was just as arrogant. The boss of Dongchang was very dignified. A large group of guards surrounded him, as if he was the emperor. Same.

Wang Feng asked, "Duke Wen, what are you doing with so many soldiers here?"

"Of course it's a funeral." Duke Wen looked at the people in the yard cheerfully with his hands behind his back: "It seems that only the third son is the most filial among the three sons in this family, but it's a pity that the most filial man, The one who killed Mr. Xu Ge."

Xu Weifeng's eyes rolled wildly: "You...you spit blood on you!"

Wen Gong said: "Don't be so excited, I haven't explained the reason yet. If you are innocent, what are you afraid of? These days, the miscellaneous family has never been idle. The emperor asked the miscellaneous family to investigate the case of Mr. Xu Ge. I have been busy for days and nights without closing my eyes, and finally there is news. Here you go, bring that bastard in."

The soldiers came in carrying a man and threw them in front of the crowd.Looking at it, it was the housekeeper of the Xu family, Lao Hu, and Xu Weifeng's face turned purple.

On Duke Wen's white face, there was a smile like New Year's Eve: "Housekeeper Hu, tell the truth about the matter."

Butler Hu trembled: "Eldest young master, it was the third son who made the master angry. Really, a villain never dares to lie. The master had an argument with him that day, and he vomited blood to death. Three The young master also gave the younger one 1000 taels of silver and asked the younger one to leave here."

"That's right." Wen Gong went on to say: "These days, the Zajia has been sending people to watch everyone in your Xu family. I don't know who goes out of the house, where they go, whether they go to a kiln or a casino." Check them out one by one. Last night, three people left the mansion, the second young master went to the kiln, and the fifth lady went to Cuilan Tower to meet his lover. But this is Butler Hu who wants to leave the city overnight, which is very unfortunate. , let the miscellaneous people get caught."

Xu Weifeng scolded: "You are not a man and a woman! You framed me! You framed me!!"

Duke Wen greeted left and right: "Come here, send Third Young Master Xu to prison. He doesn't need to participate in the funeral of Elder Xu Ge."

It is related to the dignity of the Xu family, Wang Feng stepped forward and was willing to ask: "Mr. Wen, do you want to discuss this matter? Now it's Mr. Xu Ge's trivial matter. It would be too disgraceful if he was just taken away like this." It's for the Xu family's face. It's better to ask the emperor and see what the old man has to say."

Duke Wen rolled his eyes: "My lord, the miscellaneous family advises you not to meddle in your own business. You can't get involved in the troubles here and abroad. Don't get yourself burned, you still have a big family."

For a big family, these few words are the key points, and Wang Feng's words were held back.

Xu Weizhen stopped them: "I want to ask clearly... Third child, are you really mad at me?"

"Boss, you are being framed by their nonsense. I know, you wish me bad luck, and no one will dare to block your eyes from now on."

"Housekeeper Hu watched us grow up, he won't talk nonsense, why are you mad at father, and even say that the emperor is mad at you, do you want to trap our Xu family in a place of infidelity?"

Duke Wen has seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and has no interest in this kind of family affairs: "Don't be dazed, take him away."

The news about the Xu family spread throughout the streets and alleys. In the beginning, the rumors that the emperor was angry with the ministers were much less, and now everyone knows that the third child was angry with his own father.

Even if he can come back, he won't be tolerated anymore.The Xu family was not in a bad position, the boss won the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was very respectable, even the ministers and friends of Xu Guolu before his death were not so high-ranking.

After Xu Guolu was buried, some days passed, and people began to go to court normally.

Feng Yueqing's efforts during this period have been very fruitful. Foreigner's business houses can be seen everywhere in the capital. There are many people from all over the country who do business with outsiders. Even among those who set up street stalls, some have their own families and become bosses.

"My lords, Feng Yueqing's contribution to our dynasty is obvious to all. At the beginning, many people said that this matter is absolutely impossible. But the people who are rich are the common people. The common people have more money. Only you officials can be greedy, otherwise Even greed has no place to be greedy, am I right?"

The topic is so embarrassing that the crowd is speechless.

Tian Haofeng said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country and the people, Mr. Feng has done such a great feat. It is really a blessing to my court. I dare you, please give me your grace."

Li Tianxing had already meant this: "Come here, give Feng Yueqing a yellow jacket and a three-eyed feather."

Feng Yueqing knelt down to thank her.

Li Tianxing said with a chuckle: "Although I said that officials should not be greedy anymore, you can do business. With your official positions and status, it is naturally much easier to do business with foreigners than ordinary people. Officials are not greedy, but pocket money There is not much money here, I know that, so today I made a rule, if anyone wants to do business with foreigners, please feel free, don't be restrained, I will not take any money except for the imperial court's taxes. Of course Yes, if the taxes can meet my requirements, they will all be rewarded with yellow jackets."

Once the news is out, it will be a great benefit to the officials.As early as the time of Emperor Gaozu, there was a rule that officials were not allowed to do business. This was to let officials take their family, country and world as their own responsibility and have no distractions.

But in this way, if there is no money in his pocket, he naturally wants to be greedy.How could they care about other people's money if they were richer than those merchants.

Of course, among these people, there are also some people who see money and want to make money without stopping.Such people can basically kill each other, and there is no cure.

…………

The South China Sea is vast, and Wudi went out to sea, following the direction pointed out by the mud bodhisattva, and has been wandering for more than a month.

Beyond that is a vast sea, and may have to go to cold regions.In the distance, Wudi saw a glacier, tall and majestic, very spectacular.

"Master, is that the Iceland that Clay Bodhisattva mentioned?" Juetian said.

Is it right? You have to see it to find out.

The entire island is made of glaciers, but the weather here is very cold in all seasons, and no matter how big the sun is, it will not melt.Ordinary people might stay here for less than an hour before they would freeze. Wudi and the others felt very cold and their limbs were stiff because they had inner body protection.

The island is not small, they went up to search.

There are no houses, and it is even more impossible for people to live there. However, there are many ice and snow caves here.There is also a plain, that is not a plain... It is a huge ice lake. Looking down, you can see fish schools in the sea under the thick ice sheets, and huge whales that occasionally pass by. This scene is enough to shock people. It makes you feel like the world will collapse at any time.

Walking on the back of a whale should feel like this.
