Domineering

Chapter 210 Inner Ghost Hall (for Subscription)
"Hallmaster Chu's words are a bit deceiving."

Cao Xuan was holding the teacup in one hand, and in the other hand was the seal of the spiritual formula under the stone table.

He squinted his eyes and said: "You are now the biggest leader of the iron banner gang. There are thousands of members under your command, and your strength is as good as the leader. I heard that the iron madman is planning to promote you to the deputy banner leader of the gang. How could you not know such a big event as the purchase of the 'Four-Armed God Killing Crossbow'?"

But what surprised him was that Chu Xisheng on the opposite side kept looking normal and didn't respond at all.

"How long have I only joined the Iron Banner Gang? What's more, I've been busy recently. How can I have time to care so much?"

Chu Xi let out a laugh, and then asked curiously, "You said that Uncle Kuang is going to promote me to be the deputy banner leader? Where did you get the news?"

Cao Xuan was baffled, this guy had acted as if nothing had happened until now.

Is he faking it, or is he really okay?
He looked down at his left hand under the table again.

Could it be that my memory is wrong?Wrong seal?
Cao Xuan looked carefully and thought that this gesture should be correct.

This Dharma seal is perfect, the position of each finger is correct, and the whole is like an orchid.

However, just in case, Cao Xuan made a new seal.

"This is what Tie Madman said not long ago before he went to the [-]th Lianhuanwu. He also said that if there is anything wrong with him in the future, you will inherit the Iron Banner Gang. Many people heard these words at that time."

When he said this, he let out a sneer: "Why did Hall Master Chu fool me? The 'Four-Armed God-Punishing Crossbow' costs 10 taels of magic silver for one frame, and 30 for three frames. Iron Madman wants to use the money from your gang to buy it." , how could he not have asked you, the Hall Master of Xishan, what you wanted?"

"If you don't know, you don't know." Chu Xisheng was still drinking tea with a calm expression: "Chu's qualifications are still inexperienced, so I don't have the chance to hear about this. Our Xishan Hall is large, but so far, we haven't handed it over to the main helm. Why should people ask my opinion? As for the matter of the deputy banner owner, Uncle Kuang obviously said it casually."

He let out a laugh: "Besides, even if the 'Four-armed God-killing Crossbow' is true, that's okay. There are too many forces with the 'Four-armed God-killing Crossbow'. As far as I know, the Iron Banner Gang used to There are three.

It is said that in the water battle in the upper reaches of Xunyang County a few days ago, the Seventeenth Lianhuanwu also used the four-armed god-killing crossbow. They have one more than my Iron Banner gang.It is reasonable for Uncle Kuang to prepare for a rainy day and buy a four-armed god-killing crossbow with a lot of money in order to guard against the Seventeenth Serial Pier.You Jinyiwei, do you have to be so defensive? "

Cao Xuan frowned.

Iron Madman purchased the 'Four-Armed God Killing Crossbow' not only to strengthen the Iron Banner Gang's combat power.

This person is obviously preparing for his promotion to the fourth rank.

It is rumored that when the 'Iron Armor Hunyuan Gong' is promoted to the fourth rank, the body will be sealed in the mountain and cannot move for three days.

However, Chu Xisheng kept tight-lipped about such things as the 'four-armed god-killing crossbow'. It was simply delusional to ask further about the place and specific time of Tie Kuangren's promotion.

The key is this son, so far there is no abnormality.

It was as if he had never practiced the "Nine Alchemy of Extreme Yuan Zijin Body".

Cao Xuan began to doubt himself again, did he take the wrong book?
Gave the normal "Nine Alchemy Primal Purple Gold Body" to this guy on the other side?

This is not impossible, he took it from the bookshelf that day without carefully looking through it.

In addition, there is another situation, this person's physique is quite special, and the triple "Nine Refining Ultimate Yuan Zijin Body" has not been able to show its effect on him.

It needs to be practiced to the fifth to eighth level, or even a higher level, before the symptoms of itching and pain all over the body will appear, and they will be controlled by their Jin Yiwei.

This was quite common in the past, about one out of five or six people.

Cao Xuan barely suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said calmly: "Since Hall Master Chu doesn't know, then forget it, but in the future, if the Iron Banner Gang wants to purchase any heavy ordnance, Hall Master please pay more attention."

Then he looked up and down at Chu Xisheng thoughtfully: "The hall master seems to have gathered the outer gang, and he must have trained the nine-refinement extreme element purple gold body to the third stage, and the progress is so fast."

Chu Xisheng's expression changed immediately when he heard the words, and a strange luster appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He smiled casually: "Fortunately, the main thing is that the elixir provided by Lord Qianhu is sufficient. However, it seems that this kind of horizontal practice of domineering body is not very interesting. Others can't guard against it if they are faster.

And the more I practiced, the heavier my body became, which affected my sword speed and body skills.The key is to spend a lot of time polishing the outer handle, so I don't have enough time to practice swords every day. "

Cao Xuan secretly frowned upon hearing this.

This guy isn't ready to continue practicing?

He immediately shook his head: "That's because Hall Master Chu hasn't trained the Nine Refined Ultimate Yuan Zijin Body to the deepest level. The Zijin Body after the fourth stage will initially show the strengthening effect on the physical body. You have cultivated to the sixth stage. , not only will not affect your knife speed and body skills, but will be further strengthened.

Many of us Jinyiwei have cultivated this external skill, both internal and external, and their strength is extremely strong.Just like our Jinyiwei's Diyadu Commander, he has cultivated the nine-refined extreme element purple gold body to the sixteenth level. Not only is the outer body strong, but he can resist the full bombardment of the magic weapon head-on. His physical body is also stronger than the same level of masters several times.Therefore, this person's combat strength is super high-grade, and he is ranked in the heaven list with a second-grade body, and he can face-to-face against a first-grade master. "

He looked at Chu Xisheng with a smile: "It just so happens that your information about the Nishen Banner last time was timely and accurate, and I brought you the reward from above. It is the fourth to fifth level of "Nine Alchemy Extreme Yuan Zijin Body", but You can only keep this book for one month, remember to return the book after one month, it has real intentions on it, it is very precious, currently we only have two copies in the Qianhu Office of Xiushui County."

While speaking, he placed a thin book in front of Chu Xisheng.

Cao Xuan brought this book with him, originally intending to ask the time and place when Tie Kuangren was promoted to the fourth rank, and then used this book as a reward for Chu Xisheng, and it was also a rope to further pull Chu Xisheng into the abyss.

But now that the situation has changed, Cao Xuan had no choice but to change course and give the book out ahead of schedule.

After Chu Xisheng took the book, he flipped through it casually, and then threw it aside without interest.

"It's boring! My talent is not very good. It will be very difficult to catch up with those super geniuses in the general rankings. I also have to focus on cultivating the Nine Refined Extreme Primordial Purple Gold Body."

Chu Xisheng shook his head incessantly: "I have to cultivate to the sixth level so as not to affect my sword speed and body skills, but how much time will it be wasted? And there is no sixth level yet, Master Qianhu, why don't you give me something practical, such as A sixth-grade magic weapon, or a secret medicine for Yangyuan Gong to advance to seventh-grade?"

The corners of Cao Xuan's lips twitched slightly.

The price of a sixth-grade magic weapon is at least 1 taels, and weapons and armor are even more expensive, starting with [-] magic silver.

The top secret medicine for Yang Yuan Gong to be promoted to the seventh rank is also as high as 5000 taels.

Why give you this disobedient guy?
He smiled and drank tea, and said disapprovingly: "Actually, it won't take much time. Hall Master Chu can buy more 'Four-turn Golden Body Pills' and 'Five-turn Golden Body Pills'. The elixir refined from "Yuan Zijin Body" has undergone thousands of years of improvement by Jin Yiwei, and the poison is extremely small.

Hall Master Chu, you are the vice-hundred household of our Jinyiwei, you can buy it from the inside at a [-]% discount, and now there is another Xishan hall that provides you with a posture of cultivation, which is completely affordable.As for the sixth stage of "Nine Alchemy Ultimate Yuan Zijin Body"—"

He took out 57 pieces of rice paper and put them in front of Chu Xisheng: "This is a criminal of the imperial court and a magic master who has fled in Xiushui County recently. His strength ranges from eighth rank to sixth rank. Our Xiushui Jinyiwei is currently seriously injured and has no time to spare." Ignore it. You can use the resources of the Iron Banner Gang to get rid of one or two, and then you can exchange for the sixth level of cultivation."

Chu Xisheng flipped through them casually, and found that they were all pictures of some wanted criminals.

But he frowned and looked at Cao Xuan suspiciously.

"How do I feel, Lord Qianhu seems to want me to cultivate this foreign skill?"

Cao Xuan's heart trembled, he knew that his performance just now was too impatient.

His face remained calm, and he sighed slightly: "Since Master Chu has already mastered this exercise, it would be a pity not to continue to practice it. You don't know, I also practiced "Nine Alchemy Extremes" in the past. "Yuan Zi Jin Body" was later abandoned halfway due to lack of money, and I regretted it for a long time.

Now is the best time for you to practice "Nine Refining Extreme Yuan Zijin Body". After this age, the bones and fascia are fixed, and it will be half the effort to practice.

This technique can not only use the elixir to quickly reach the eighth level state, but after that, as long as you overcome the difficulties from the ninth level to the tenth level, the subsequent practice is much easier than other golden body overlords.And every level of improvement can greatly strengthen the physical body, which will benefit people endlessly.Those who have cultivated this skill to a high level have always possessed super-grade combat power. "

Chu Xi stared at Cao Xuan for a while, then smiled, and put the book and many portraits into her arms.

"Forget it, I'll practice it first and see. By the way, does Lord Qianhu have anything else to do, just ask about the 'Four-armed God Killing Crossbow', and these wanted criminals?"

Cao Xuan smiled wryly in his heart.

There are many things he wants to ask, but now he can only give up.

The only thing that comforted him was that it was somewhat useful for him to recruit Chu Xisheng into Jinyiwei.

At least those wanted criminals who fled to Xiushui County, magic masters, Chu Xisheng can help.

※※※※

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Xisheng rejected Cao Xuan's invitation and left the 'Fumanxiang' bun shop through the back door.

The man in black who had not spoken all this time sat down directly opposite Cao Xuan.

At this time, not only did his momentum change drastically, but his posture was also very casual, and he even sized Cao Xuan up and down with scrutiny.

He no longer looked like a follower, but rather Cao Xuan's boss.

"You asked me to come here on purpose just to let me listen to this?"

The voice of this person is very strange, neither male nor female, it is difficult to distinguish between male and female, it seems that the voice has been deliberately changed.

"Forgive me, Special Envoy. There was a little accident today." Cao Xuan frowned, and cupped his hands respectfully: "I practiced the third-level rumored version of "Nine Refining Extreme Primordial Purple Gold Body" for him. As usual, it is not affected by my seal at all."

The person in front of him is not only half a rank higher than him in official position, but also a special envoy sent by the governor of Dongzhen, Cao Xuan cannot disrespect him.

These are all sequelae of the robbery of Jinyiwei Prison.

Dongzhen Fusi and Dongzhou Wanhusuo have lost trust in him.

The man in black raised his eyebrows, his eyes relieved: "It's because of his physique? There is usually one out of five or six people. It's not surprising that if he cultivates to the seventh or eighth level, he will be hard to escape."

Then he said in a cold voice: "Then what is so special about this person that deserves your attention?"

"As I said before, this person is in charge of the Hall of Thousand People, and his strength can already compete head-on with the Long family in the inner city, and even surpass it. And according to my judgment, he may take down six thousand Xishan hunters in the near future. , The power has greatly increased. In the future, it may even inherit the Iron Banner Gang and be the leader of Dongzhou Water Transport."

Cao Xuan explained intently, his eyes were different: "Besides, he is closely related to Nishenqi. When Qin Muge's notes and maps were discovered before, Chu Xisheng was there. What is surprising is that soon After that, the two key figures at that time, Xiang Kui and Wang Zhen, both entered Xishan Hall together and became Chu Xisheng's subordinates. As far as I know, recently, undercover agents from various forces have sneaked into Xishan Hall for unknown purposes.

And this time in the battle of Xishan, Xishantang also exposed a master of the fifth rank and above, who silently killed six sixth ranks.Also, the talent and martial arts shown by this person are astonishing, and there is already hope of entering the Qingyun General Ranking.But more than half a year ago, his talent was mediocre.All in all, there are many mysteries hidden in this person. "

The man in black had a clear expression.

For the Iron Banner Gang in Xiushui County, the higher ups have always been concerned.

But the key is the Anti-God Banner——

As Cao Xuan said, this Chu Xisheng is indeed a key person.

He looked at the teacup Chu Xisheng left behind, thoughtful.

The man in black suddenly had a thought: "You said those Orions will surrender to Chu Xisheng in the near future?"

Cao Xuan didn't understand what he meant, but he still replied respectfully: "Exactly! This person is very skilled, and he should be able to subdue all the hunters in the Western Mountains within ten months."

The man in black smiled when he heard the words, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

※※※※

After Chu Xisheng returned to the Chu residence, he threw the "Nine Refined Extreme Yuan Zijin Body" to Chu Yunyun.

He smiled: "That Lord Qianhu, it seems that he must let me cultivate this golden body and domineering body. This martial arts, in Jinyiwei, at least requires an official position of a hundred households, and there are still a lot of meritorious deeds in exchange for it." , but gave it to me for nothing this time.”

Chu Yunyun casually flipped through the book and fell into deep thought: "This time the content is more complicated, give me six days."

Within six days, she was able to get rid of all the restrictions and hidden dangers of this exercise.

Then she looked at Chu Xisheng: "The more eager he is to let you complete this skill, the more he can see how much he attaches to you. This person is careful and hides his sword in his smile. You must be careful."

"How could I not know?"

A cold light flashed in Chu Xi's voice, and then she stroked her forehead helplessly: "The problem is that I'm a little bit overwhelmed now."

This time he expanded the number of helpers in Xishan Hall to one thousand, and also recruited twenty eighth-rank masters by the way.

——Most of them are from Zhengyang Wuguan.

Most of them are of dubious origin.

The ridiculous thing is that not long ago, Chu Xisheng sold their names and suspicious points to Cao Xuan in exchange for meritorious service.

Chu Xisheng thought to himself that his Xishan hall was about to become an inner ghost hall, full of undercover undercover boys.

But he couldn't refuse.

These people came under the banner of defecting to the same sect. If Chu Xisheng refused, it would hurt his reputation.

Chu Xisheng had a headache because of this.

Who can believe that the number of seventh-rank masters in Xishan Hall may exceed the head of the Iron Banner Gang?

These people came in and out of the Chu residence, seemingly inadvertently spying on all sides, making it impossible for their brothers and sisters to practice normally in the inner courtyard.

Chu Xisheng could feel at ease only when Liu Ruoxi personally watched the door for them.

The key is that the arrival of these people also made his Xishan Hall a new storm, pushing the two of them to the cusp.

Even Lu Luanli has become suspicious recently.

Lu Luanli recognized most of these undercover agents, what was their intention?
Could it be that the clues to the Nishen flagpole and the treasures of the kings are also hidden in Xishan Hall?
So in the past few days, her black and white eyeballs are like searchlights, sweeping in all directions, discerning every detail.

Chu Xisheng can only be thankful that the two brothers and sisters have already cultivated into a 'white horse is not a horse', otherwise they don't know what troubles will be caused now.

The current Xishan Hall seems to be majestic, but in fact, there are internal and external troubles, and it may be overthrown at any time.

"By the way!" Chu Xisheng remembered something again: "Just now, Linhai Zhou's family sent me a letter saying that all the magical artifacts left by Shen Yunxiang and Yue Wei have been sold on the overseas black market for 2000 yuan. [-] taels of magic silver.

Now we have more than 5000 cash in hand, and after deducting the 3 taels of two secret medicines for my future promotion to the seventh rank, the 1 'Four Turn Golden Body Pills' for practicing "Nine Refining Extreme Yuan Zijin Body" will cost 7000 Eight, you need [-] taels to practice the spell.For the remaining [-] taels, I want to buy you some battle maps, Yunyun, what do you want? "

This is the benefit of him joining the Iron Banner Gang, opening up the Xiangtang, and building his own forces.

If it were other errands, he didn't know how long it would take to get such a large sum of money.

Even in the several tax offices in Xiushui County, Chu Xisheng's monthly income of 2000 taels is the limit.Now he takes tens of thousands a month.

Chu Xisheng still put tens of thousands of debts in the hall, but he regarded the money as an investment, and he didn't plan to take it back for the time being.

The 7000 taels in his hand can already be exchanged for an excellent magic weapon or battle map.

After Qin Muge's 'death', all the totems of secret moves were washed away.

Chu Xisheng kept this matter in mind.

"My battle plan is not in a hurry." Chu Yunyun shook her head: "In my current state, ordinary battle plans can only increase me very little, which is a complete waste of money. Battle plans that can strengthen my strength are at least a million taels To start, we can’t afford it right now.”

Chu Xisheng's face froze immediately.

After finishing the canal business, he thought he was rich and well-to-do.

But at this moment, he realized his own poverty again.

"Now there is a matter that is more urgent than my battle plan." Chu Yunyun's small face was solemn: "Just now Lu Pingyuan came to report that there was a change in the county a day and a half ago. An inspector censor came to Xiushui County to order Zuo Tianlu, the county magistrate, was dismissed.

This person even imprisoned Zuo Tianlu's family for the five major crimes of being affiliated with Zuoqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the current dynasty, slandering the imperial court, slandering ministers, embezzling public property, and corrupting the law.It also includes Zuo Ya Nei, and within a few days, they will be sent to the capital for trial and questioning. "

Chu Xi was shocked when he heard the words, and he suddenly got up from his seat.

He got up so hastily that his clothes fluttered, and he rolled up with force, forcibly overturning the coffee table next to him.

"Slander the court, slander the ministers? What's going on? I heard that Zuo Juncheng is in this county. Although he was dismissed by the county guard, his relationship with the court is still stable. His teacher is the former emperor's teacher, the son of the emperor. The minister of the hidden residence."

Chu Yunyun's face was cold, and her voice was solemn: "Lu Pingyuan said it was for the 'top ten coins' to be issued by the imperial court, and Zuo Tianlu, together with many colleagues, impeached the Minister of the Household Department."

In fact, the emperor and the Ministry of Households intended to issue these "top ten coins" as early as two years ago.

At that time, the Manchu Dynasty rebelled and attacked the Hubu Shangshu group.

Chu Yunyun also wrote a letter at the time, clearly expressing her opposition to this matter.

She believes that even if the imperial court is short of money, it shouldn't exploit the people so recklessly.

So the emperor was forced to withdraw his will, but kept his household minister.

Unexpectedly, after two years, the discussion of "becoming the top ten money" will come back again.

Chu Xisheng frowned, then strode out without hesitation.

※※※※

Chu Xisheng knew very well about "being the top ten money".

In his world, Wang Mang issued ten coins, Emperor Liang Yuan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties issued it, Emperor Wu of Zhou issued it, Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty issued it, and Cai Jing also issued it.

The reason is that the imperial court is short of money, so the "Ten Ten Money" was issued to alleviate the financial crisis.

This is the top ten money, which is nothing in modern times.It is nothing more than a slightly heavier copper coin, replacing the face value of ten Wen coins.

Modern one yuan, two yuan, five yuan and one hundred yuan are not even metal currency, they are all a piece of paper, there is no big difference.

But in ancient times, this was a blatant exploitation and a political move to squeeze the people.

The imperial court used copper coins that weighed a little more than a penny to easily take away the wealth of ten pennies.

In the beginning, this may not have any bad consequences, and may even be convenient for businessmen.

But in the future, there will definitely be a lot of pirated castings among the people.

The cost of stealing ten pennies is only a little more than the cost of one penny, and the localities must be eager to catch them.

This principle is like the modern counterfeit banknotes, which are mostly 50 yuan and [-] yuan in large denominations.

Few people will print counterfeit one-dollar bills because the cost and labor are not enough.

And once the stolen top ten coins are circulated in the world, it will bring a lot of evil consequences.For example, prices are soaring, people's wealth is shrinking, and so on.

In the end, the imperial court will also reap the consequences, because the offerings and utensils needed by the imperial court must be purchased with money. If the goods become more and more expensive, while the money is depreciating day by day, how can the finances not collapse? reason?

Only merchants and aristocratic families will not be damaged. They will refuse to use the top ten money and pass the crisis on to the people and the court.

But now, Chu Xisheng didn't bother to care about the harm of "becoming top ten money", he only cared about Zuo Qingyun.

This guy was imprisoned just fine, and there was no news about it beforehand, and no news was given to him afterwards.

Chu Xisheng couldn't help but feel annoyed towards Wu Meiniang.

This woman is Zuo Qingyun's good friend, why doesn't she want to send him news?Should he pay for it?
Chu Xisheng rode the best horse in the stables in the hall, and it took only two quarters to reach Xiushui County City.

He went straight to the county government office, and then, led by a seven-rank red-clothed headhunter, entered the county government prison.

Now he, the face of the Hall Master of Xishan, is still easy to use, and he is willing to give up money.

So a new headhunter in red from Six Doors simply agreed to help and arranged for him to meet with Zuo Qingyun.

The prison of the county government is half buried underground.Only the first floor is on the surface, and the second, third, and fourth floors are all underground.It is said that the foundation and four sides of the prison are all basalt rocks as thick as three feet, and it is difficult for a master of the fifth rank to escape from the ground.

When Chu Xisheng followed this person into the prison, walked through the narrow corridor, and came to the fourth floor through layers of thick iron gates, he couldn't help frowning.

The air here is stale, with a foul stench lingering.

Surprisingly, there are a lot of guards here, besides the prison guards, there are also many people wearing Jinyiwei costumes.

"They're all from the Jinyiwei Tianya, and they were brought over by the supervisory censor."

The headhunter in red whispered in Chu Xisheng's ear: "I gave half of the money to them, and asked them to accommodate you. But Master Chu still has to be careful, and try not to offend them."

Chu Xisheng looked at the Jinyiwei in Tianya these days, thoughtfully.

Jinyiwei in this world is divided into three yamen: 'Heaven', 'Earth', and 'Army'.

'Tianya' directly drives the guards and is responsible for supervising all officials.They don't have any local institutions, except for a 3-strong Jinyi pro-army, there are only 72 million households, and [-] thousand households, patrolling the world.

The 'junya' was set up in the army, distributed among the county soldiers and frontier troops in various places, and was responsible for supervising all the Daning army horses.

Chu Xisheng and Cao Xuan belonged to the "Diya", responsible for general inspections and arrests, and monitoring local forces.

The scale of the "diya" is the largest. They use the five towns of "southeast, northwest, and central" to control several prefectures, and there are ten thousand households, one thousand households, one hundred households, general banners, small banners, etc. Wait, the tentacles extend to every corner of Daning, with nearly a million people.

But the one with the most authority is undoubtedly the 'Tian Ya'.

The commander of Tianya's capital is also the most powerful, ranking at the forefront of the Tianya list.

Chu Xisheng met Zuo Qingyun in a prison on the south side of the fourth floor.

Zuo Qingyun's condition was very bad, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his clothes were disheveled, his beard and hair were disheveled, and his spirit was also very listless, looking depressed and depressed.

Seeing Chu Xisheng, he smiled wryly: "You're still here, I really don't want you to see me in such a mess."

Chu Xisheng didn't speak, he glanced around.

The smell here is very bad, and it is cold to the bones, and some straws in the corners are also rotten due to the damp.

And outside the fence, there seemed to be traces of overturned food, exuding a bit of a bad smell.

Chu Xisheng glanced at him, then looked away, and looked at Zuo Qingyun: "What's going on? Why did you get sent to prison all of a sudden? You don't treat me as a friend too much. You haven't said anything for so many days. Leak. As far as I know, the imperial court charged Zuojun Cheng'an with serious crimes?"

He thought of Zuo Qingyun's ecstasy these days.

Chu Xisheng also asked why, but Zuo Qingyun hesitated.

It now appears that Zuo Qingyun had already predicted this result more than 20 days ago.

"It's not my father, who is stupid enough to impeach the Minister of the Household Department. He's out of his head. The emperor is obviously determined to issue the top ten money. How could he stop it? It also hurt the family."

Zuo Qingyun laughed involuntarily: "I can't tell you about this in advance. It's useless to talk about it, and it's useless to worry about. But don't worry, the crime this time is quite serious, but my family still has a lot of connections in the capital. My father's Those colleagues are also working hard for my family. When the emperor extinguishes his anger, at most he will be demoted to the frontier as an official."

Chu Xisheng looked at Zuo Qingyun up and down, with a dubious look on his face.

"Tsk! Don't you think I'm in good shape? I eat and drink here, and there's nothing wrong with me."

Zuo Qingyun opened his hands to indicate that he was all right, and then he shouted outside: "Zhang Baihu, please bring me some wine and meat, I want two roast geese and ten catties of stewed meat from the opposite side of the yamen, and some more Food and wine, and the best rice wine."

Just a moment after he opened his mouth, a middle-aged man in Baihu's clothes walked out of the cell door. He glanced inside, first frowned, and then let out a faint hum.

With a flick of his sleeve, someone hurriedly brought in a dinner plate not long after.

Sure enough, there were roast goose, braised pork, peanuts, soybeans, and rice wine in the plate.

"Look, I'm doing pretty well in here."

Seeing that Chu Xisheng was still hesitant to speak, Zuo Qingyun said hesitantly: "Chu Xisheng, if you treat me as a friend, stop talking nonsense and just drink and eat meat. After three days, we will I will be escorted to the capital, and after you go out, you probably won't see me again, this time may be the last time you and I drink in Xiushui, ah! No, there is a farewell, you have to come over then."

Chu Xisheng frowned slightly, silently filled up the wine that Zuo Qingyun handed over, and clinked a glass with Zuo Qingyun.

"That's right!" Zuo Qingyun drank down the wine, then picked up a roast goose, and gnawed like a wolf: "That's right, your land registration has been finalized. These people in the county are very ruthless." , but my father still won [-] hectares of land for you, and all the procedures have been completed, and the yellow book of land registration has been recorded, you just need to find Master Li Bo to get the land deed."

Chu Xisheng looked around at the money, thoughtfully: "Your family didn't use the money in this prison? I'll send some to the Jin Yiwei of the Tianya later."

"No need." Zuo Qingyun laughed dumbly, and then shook his head firmly: "Listen to me, it's useless if you give money. No matter how much you give, they won't treat me any better. If you don't give me money, they won't dare to treat me How am I?"

Chu Xisheng was stunned, and then laughed: "Then listen to you, don't give it!"

He poured another bowl of wine for Zuo Qingyun: "Come and drink, today you and I will not be drunk forever,"

It's a pity that Jin Yiwei gave too little wine, Chu Xisheng was still not drunk after all, but Zuo Qingyun, who drank in a daze.

As soon as Chu Xisheng walked out of the county government prison, his face became as cold as iron.

Chu Xi thought to himself, Zuo Qingyun, a fool, who does he think he can hide from his current situation?
At the same time, on the fourth floor of the county government prison.

Jin Yiwei Baihu surnamed Zhang walked to Zuo Qingyun's cell. He looked at Zuo Qingyun who was drunk on the ground with some disgust, and then kicked the empty dinner plate away.

Then he stepped heavily on Zuo Qingyun's hand, causing Zuo Qingyun's complexion to twist suddenly, and he let out a scream.

Zhang Baihu stared at him fixedly, his voice was as cold as ice, as if spitting out from between his teeth: "You think I don't want others to see the truth, so I have nothing to do with you? Zhang has a way to not hurt you The slightest bit, but it can make you miserable. How dare you order me around, do you think you are still the yamen of the county magistrate's family?"

Zuo Qingyun opened his eyes and stared at this person intently, then spit out bloody froth with a 'pooh' sound, and sprayed it on Zhang Baihu's face.

But then he was overwhelmed by stronger pain.
