Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 285 I don't know if you can hold an ingot of gold, but a hundred breaths...

"General, is it really possible?"

Hearing that he could worship Xue Fang as his teacher, the kid named Guo An blinked in disbelief.

Then he sighed again:

"But……"

"I'm not very talented, and my brain is stupid. Last year, my father took me to visit more than a dozen martial arts teachers, and none of them wanted me!"

From Guo An's point of view, Xue Fang is a big shot. Just now, the little eunuch next to him said that the other party has not confiscated another disciple. It must be that he has extremely high requirements for the matter of recruiting disciples, and he would rather be short than excessive.

A person with poor talent like myself is probably not good enough.

Unexpectedly, Xue Fang said:

"Diligence can make up for one's weakness. Natural talent is important, but most people can't reach the level of talent in their entire lives."

"I took you as my apprentice, and I didn't think about cultivating such a powerful master. I just hoped that you would have the ability to protect yourself and your family."

"The next time a bad person bullies your mother, you can personally make the other person punished, instead of being unable to do anything, you can only wait for others to help you."

Guo An nodded with a vague understanding, and waved his small fist:
"General, I will learn from you, learn skills, and beat bad guys!"

Xue Fang smiled gratifiedly:
"Okay, now take your mother back and find a doctor to heal her injuries. With me here, no one will embarrass you."

As soon as the words came out, the woman hurriedly dragged Guo An away from this land of right and wrong, and at the same time kept lowering her head to thank Xue Fang:

"Thank you Commander Xue, thank you Commander Xue!"

"Tomorrow, I will definitely prepare a generous apprentice ceremony!"

Guo An showed a bit of reluctance, kept turning his head to glance at Xue Fang, and at the same time raised his fleshy little fist, extremely excited:

"Master, I will come to you tomorrow!"

"Come early tomorrow morning!"

Because of Xue Fang's intimidation, the common people and all the handymen made way for the mother and son, allowing them to leave safely.

Even the dignitary who died with a handyman didn't say much.

"Learn the skills, beat the bad guys..."

The little eunuch Yan Gao couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"What a naive child."

"There are so many bad guys in the capital, how can he fight them? Besides, he probably doesn't know that the master he wants to worship is actually not a good guy!"

Hearing Yan Gao's ridicule, Xue Fang didn't show any anger, but just laughed at himself:
"If one day, this child can use the skills I taught him to defeat me, a bad guy, then I will die without regret."

"but……"

"I'm afraid I won't survive today."

The little eunuch was slightly taken aback.

He had heard Xue Fang say similar words before, and now he heard the other party mention it again, and suddenly felt curious:
"Why did Commander Xue say such unlucky words?"

"You are one of the eight great commanders of the capital, and your cultivation is at the peak of the Bright Moon Realm. Your elder brother is also the head of the Annan Protectorate, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers, and a genuine Sunshine Realm! Who dares to kill you in the capital?"

Xue Fang didn't open his mouth to explain.

He just looked at the dignitaries and said loudly:
"My lords, the north gate is where I, Xue, is stationed. It is my duty to maintain order and make the official road unimpeded. Therefore, please restrain yourself."

He paused and said again:

"Last night, a thousand brothers from the imperial guards were killed outside the city. Not only you as family members, but I, Xue, as a robe, are also deeply saddened, but please believe that no matter what happens, His Majesty will do justice to us. !"

"And you are here to disturb the people's livelihood and obstruct the official way, which will only make His Majesty unhappy!"

Xue Fang's words are not without reason.

But the rich and powerful rarely listened to advice.

After all, what they did today was to show their loyalty to Jing Hong!They think that no matter how big the incident is, they won't be punished too much. On the contrary, they will gain more trust from Jing Hong!

Even if he was punished and demoted at the beginning, he would be promoted after a while.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the court before, and they have already figured out the way.

"Commander Xue, we won't stay here for too long! As soon as we meet the heir of the Prince of Rejection and ask him a few questions, we will leave immediately and we will never hinder your official duties!"

"Yeah, it's dusk now, it's getting dark, and there aren't many people going in and out of the city. We'll give up some of the official roads, and it won't affect anything!"

"As for disrupting people's livelihood..."

"We don't want something like that to happen just now. Since Commander Xue has personally killed that idiot, let's forget about it! As long as the people are willing to give up enough space, not only will we not use force, we can also Give them some compensation!"

"Yes! We can give copper coins, fifty copper coins per person!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, it aroused the anger of the people:

"Fifty coppers? Where are you sending the beggar?"

"Why don't you just give us some of the paper money in your hand?"

"Dog officer! Last month, I saw you go to Fengyue Tower to order Miss Amei. With a flick of your hand, you got an ingot of gold, and you went downstairs in less than a hundred breaths! Why are you so stingy today?"

……

After the last sentence, many officials and wives suddenly changed their faces, forgetting that they were crying, angrily grabbed their man's ears or sleeves, and asked him:
"Say! Is that you?"

The officials raised their hands and shouted:
"Ma'am, I am wronged! How could you suspect it was me? My monthly salary is handed over to you on time for safekeeping. Where did I get a piece of gold?"

Mrs. Guan refused to believe:
"I don't know if you can hold an ingot of gold, but a hundred breaths..."

"lady!"

The official begged for mercy in a low voice:
"There are so many people watching, save some face for my husband!"

Madam Guan snorted coldly:
"It must be you! See if I go back and not deal with you!"

There was also an official's wife who came out directly and asked the commoner who spoke:

"Tell me, who is that dog official you mentioned just now?"

"..."

The commoner was an ordinary-looking dark man, who took two steps back in fright.

"Say! I'm the wife of the Minister of Rites. I can assure you that no one will trouble you afterwards after you say it!"

The official lady took off a silver hairpin from her head, threw it out, and said:

"This hairpin is worth 300 taels of silver. If you tell me, it is yours."

The swarthy man showed timidity, leaned over to pick up the hairpin, but he didn't dare to speak, he just pointed to the jade bracelet in the hand of the officer's wife.

Obviously, he thought he was not paid enough!
"..."

At this moment, everyone was stunned by this person's aggressive behavior.

Civilian extorting Mrs. Madam?
Aren't your hairpins and jade bracelets hot to hold?Aren't you afraid of getting rich afterwards?

The official lady was also annoyed for a while, but for some reason she held back her breath and took off the jade bracelet from her wrist:

"You have a good eye! This jade bracelet was put on by my mother on the day I got married. It has not been taken off for more than ten years. You can take it away today, but I will buy it with 100 taels of gold later. Come back, I wonder if you are satisfied with this reward?"

The swarthy man rubbed his hands, nodded, boldly walked up to the official wife, and took the jade bracelet away with his own hands.

When I took it, I rubbed the other person's palm by the way, and scratched it lightly with my fingers.

"you……"

The official's wife was extremely ashamed and indignant, she wanted to order the servants to grab this man and beat him to death with a stick, but for some reason there was an intoxicating numbness in her palm, which made her lose her mind all of a sudden.

"I can't tell, this person is still a veteran of Huajian!"

Mrs. Guan was very surprised in her heart, and there was a flash of strangeness, but on the surface she remained calm, pretending that nothing happened:

"Okay, can you talk now?"

"Who is that dog officer?"

"Is it my husband?"

On the side, the husband of the official wife, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, glared at the dark man with a threatening look, and at the same time said kindly to his wife:
"Ma'am! Why don't you believe in your husband?"

"My husband is not that kind of person!"

"It's embarrassing for you to do this to your husband!"

"face?"

Madam Guan sneered:
"It's just that a bastard who was not in the top [-] in the mansion died, but you called all the hundreds of people in the mansion to the north gate to cry for funerals. Does that make you honorable?"

"Jin Xian, Mr. Jin, when I married you, how did you promise me? You will only marry me and have children with me in your whole life!"

"But what happened later? After you were promoted, you married eleven concubines within three years and gave birth to nine children!"

"Last year, my three-year-old Mu'er drowned and died. You just cried and had a hasty funeral in the mansion!"

"But today, the son born to you and the bitch died! Not only did you carry the coffin to the north gate, but you also asked me to cry with you?"

"Why? Jin Xian, tell me, why!"

"Today you asked me to cry for a concubine, but tomorrow you will straighten that bitch? And tomorrow, are you going to divorce me and drive me back to my mother's house—"

boom!
While the official's wife was chattering, the Minister of Rites named Jin Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to slap the woman!

"Bitch! Say one more word, and I will divorce you immediately!"

At this moment, the minister of the Ministry of Rites regretted bringing his wife out.

Inserting the concubine into Dong Shen's imperial guards, sending him to die, and deliberately holding a big funeral, showing that he is at odds with the son of the prince of the north. Unspoken thing.

Because there were too many involved, he did not explain clearly to his wife in advance, which also led to an accident.

"You, you hit me?"

The official's wife was trembling with anger, she covered her cheek with one hand, and tore the official robe of the Minister of Rites with the other:
"Jin Xian, have you forgotten? If my father hadn't single-handedly picked you up and took care of you repeatedly, how could you have taken the position of Minister of Rites at this age?"

"At the beginning, I didn't dislike your poverty, I didn't dislike you as an official, and I married you without thinking about my own life. What did I want? Didn't I just want you to treat me well?"

"It's good now. You've become prosperous, promoted, and rich, and you've changed your mind, haven't you?"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was ashamed and angry by his wife, so he hurriedly called a few servant girls:

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and bring Madam back to the mansion!"

A few servant girls hurried forward and grabbed Mrs. Guan.

Mrs. Guan struggled desperately and shouted:
"I'm not going!"

"There is a funeral in the house, bad luck!"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites scolded:
"Then go back to your mother's house!"

"Go and ask your father, what did I, Jin Xian, do wrong today?"

Mrs. Guan is not a fool. After hearing this, she seemed to understand something.

She knows that her husband always seeks stability in his work, and he doesn't like to make a fuss. It's too abnormal to move the funeral to the north gate and block the gate of the city with a coffin for a concubine!

In addition, dozens of other dignitaries also gathered together to hold the funeral at the North Gate, which is even more suspicious!
"Could it be..."

"Did I blame him?"

Mrs. Guan calmed down a little and stopped making noise.

"Bitch, finally sensible!"

Seeing this scene, the Minister of Rites also heaved a sigh of relief.

What he did just now made him lose face in front of others. In the future, he will inevitably be laughed at by his colleagues at banquets and used by the common people as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Fortunately, everything is over, as long as you can get promoted and get rich, it doesn't matter if you lose face.

But at this moment, an untimely voice appeared:
"that……"

"I want to answer the lady's question just now."

Everyone heard the news and looked.

I saw the dark man who spoke before raised the hairpin and jade bracelet in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Ma'am, you misunderstood, the official who spent an ingot of gold in Huayue Tower to order Miss Amei is not Master Jin!"

This statement came out.

Jin Xian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled kindly at the man.

In fact, for people of his class, it is not a shame to spend money on women in brothels, on the contrary, it can be used as bragging capital at banquets.

But he went downstairs in less than a hundred breaths...

Once it is confirmed, it will make people unable to lift their heads for the rest of their lives!

"Ma'am, look! I told you earlier, is it a misunderstanding?"

Jin Xian grabbed his wife's arm, and his attitude was quite correct:
"Okay, don't lose your temper anymore, the funeral has to go on!"

"Although the one who died this time was only a concubine of my Jin Xian, he was also a soldier who died for the country. I, Jin Xian, are proud of him! I am also extremely saddened by his death!"

"That's why I will make a big fuss about the funeral this time!"

Mrs. Guan frowned slightly, thinking that the words were not true, but she nodded her head to express her understanding.

But just when Jin Xian, the Minister of Rituals, thought that everything could go according to plan, the dark man couldn't help but speak again:

"Ma'am! Wait, I haven't finished yet!"

"The official who ordered Miss Amei with one ingot of gold was not Mr. Jin, but Mr. Jin spent two ingots of gold to order a pair of Bingdilian, and... I personally counted at the door, from entering to leaving, Master Jin only took 82 breaths, and only one of the girls took off their clothes!"

As he spoke, the dark man took out an ingot of gold from his pocket and offered it with both hands:

"Master Jin, I am a buddy of Huayuelou. Our boss asked me to return this ingot of gold to you."

"Two ingots of gold are the price of a pair of twin lotus, but you only used half of it, so I will refund you half!"

"..."

The crowd was silent.

This time, everyone saw it.

This dark man is here to make trouble!
