a very dark dark guard

Chapter 83 Magnolia City

In front of all the people, I made a good show of the Fu family's family scandals.Now their money is gone, their houses are gone, their land is gone, and their family relationships are all fake.

Fu Yifu is not a good person, otherwise the people in Huaicheng would not applaud him for his suffering.

Can he raise a son for his original wife and lover out of kindness?

Absolutely not!

But he couldn't give birth to a son by himself. After knowing this, he might swallow his anger and still recognize this son because no one died.

I don't really care about the relationship between their father and son. We should go to the next stop and find the guard Jia and the others.

The upline that Fu's father and son confessed to was also in the city where Jia and the others were going.

Huaicheng is a small city, the city where the Fu family's online is located is the only 'provincial city' bordering other countries in the north.

The reinforcements invited by the Fu family came from this provincial capital.

This 'provincial city' is built among the mountains, on the top of the mountains, and how many surrounding hills are within its jurisdiction.

Including the inn where we met Zhaoxing Laoyue Lou Shasha.

The north is sparsely populated, and some areas have harsh climates.

Except for the traffic arteries, the surrounding areas of the provincial capitals, and the capital area, almost all of them are deserted places.

The natural environment in those places is poor, and it is difficult for ordinary people to survive.

The northernmost area is full of snow-capped mountains, with blizzards falling all the year round, the earth is covered with ice and snow, and there is not a single inch of land that can be cultivated.

There are quite a few ferocious beasts and raptors, and they come out to look for food during the day and night.

The capital of Tengxue Kingdom is located at the junction of the north and the south of its own country, with four distinct seasons, fields can be farmed in the valleys, and fruit trees can be planted on the mountains.

The capital Yaocheng was built on a mountain, and the whole mountain is a city.

The palace on the top of the mountain faces the south wind and shelters from the north wind, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.

Yaocheng means looking at the hometown in the distance, which means that Tengxue people still remember their distant hometown even though they have settled in Pingqi mainland.

My original plan was to go to a small town further north, buy fields and land, and live a secluded life.

Now I have something to do first, we stayed in Huaicheng for three days with Ximen Wuhen.

When we're done, we take the rest of the Fu family's property and the money embezzled by the officials and lords and leave.

I ransacked the shop father and son so cleanly that there was not a penny left.

The clothes on his body were exchanged with the beggars, and the beggars used their capital to set up stalls for small business.

Those "loyal" nurses and housekeepers are counting on us to leave so that they can take back the money distributed to the people. Anyway, there are people in the Fu family who can make a comeback at any time.

I guessed what they were up to, telling August and the others to stay in Huaicheng and watch in secret.

Before I left, I told those bad-hearted guys that I had put a curse on them, and if they had any bad intentions, they would be tortured to death.

In fact, the 'Qi' I injected into their bodies was working.

Yueba and the others were left to protect the common people. My "Qi" can only punish the wicked, but cannot protect those who are hurt by them.

On the eighth day of the month, they came and reported the situation to me.

We met before entering the provincial capital. According to Yue Ba, the father and son of the Fu family were indeed ruthless. Seeing us leave, they immediately went to the homes of orphans and widows who had received money with the nursing homes to demand property.

If people refused to give it, they would take away the widowed mother's child and threatened to sell both mother and child.

The yin and evil energy in their hearts soared, and I felt from a distance that the control 'qi' thread was rampant in their bodies, and several of them fell to the ground in pain, screaming not like human beings, blood oozing from the skin, and bleeding to death from the seven orifices.

I used their blood to draw a big "curse" on their foreheads.

This frightened them, and they left the child and ran for the door.

Before leaving, the torch fell to the ground, and the haystack was lit by mistake, and the family's dilapidated thatched house was on fire at one o'clock.

The mother and child were trapped in the fire, and Yue Ba and the others appeared in time to put out the fire and rescue the mother and child.

They waited in the city for another two days, and saw that the dogs of the Fu family were terrified. No one dared to harm others, let alone get involved with the Fu family and his son.

They packed their bags and escaped from Huaicheng overnight, and the Fu family father and son could no longer find helpers in the city.

They were penniless, and the people in the whole city hated them to the bone, and no one helped them.

The father and son also had a quarrel, because of their life experience, they had a big quarrel and broke up unhappy.

I'm afraid the days ahead for the two of you will be even more miserable.

Seeing that they were not doing well, they came back to report to me on the eighth day of the month.

Having died a few people, they naturally know how powerful they are, and dare not risk their lives to try the 'curse' with themselves.

"Have they contacted the upline?" We rested on the mountain path outside the provincial capital. The further north we went, the cooler the weather was, and we sat in the mountains with a breezy breeze.

"No, they dare not, for fear of being silenced." Yue Ba's eavesdropping skills are top-notch.

"On the day you distributed the money, a group of people came twenty miles outside the city. When they saw the fireworks, they withdrew. When we left Huaicheng, they didn't show up again," Nan Jiu added.

"Master An, do you think we should bypass Yulan City and send Yueba in to contact Jia's guards and bring them out?" Director Zhang suggested with a worried expression on his face.

Cough, Manager Zhang has changed his name to Master An since he came out of Huaicheng.

I really want to correct him, but I don't think it's necessary. It's just a title. He calls it whatever he likes.

"Why do you want to avoid it?" Ximen Wuhen asked.

"Our actions in Huaicheng are too big. I'm afraid it has attracted the attention of the city officials of Yulan City. If we enter the city at this time, if we are ambushed..."

Tengxue Country has three provinces. On the surface, the high-ranking officials in each province are officials appointed by the royal family, but in fact they are more like feudal vassals here.

The official position of "senior official" is called provincial official in Tengxue Country.

The power is huge, and the appointment of local officials in the province can be directly decided without asking the emperor for instructions.

In other words, if you want to be an official in the province, it is useless to have a good relationship with the emperor, you must be appreciated by the provincial officials.

The city official of Huaicheng has such courage, but because his cousin is the concubine of the provincial official, although she is not very favored, she can still find a "fat job" for him.

The confession from the city official was asked by Ximen Wuhen, and the Fu family had no relationship with the provincial official, so the two of them were extremely afraid, fearing that they would be silenced.

The upline they confessed to was the wife and brother of the provincial official.

The provincial officials of the three provinces of Tengxue Country had already read their documents.

Feng Province is a large province of grain, melons, fruits and vegetables in the middle of the three provinces, and the royal family attaches great importance to it.

Yulan City is the provincial capital of Feng Province, surrounded by magnolia forests, and the city name comes from this.

The provincial officials were hereditary from the Wan family, and passed down to this generation, which is the seventh generation.

The ancestors of the Wan family devoted themselves to the royal family. In order to save the life of the prince at that time, the whole family of more than two hundred people were slaughtered to death.

Only the youngest son, who had just turned three years old, was hidden in a bucket and sank into a deep well to save his life.

The child was carried away by the prince who quelled the rebellion. When the prince ascended the throne, the child lived with all the princes.

When he grew up, he was sent to Feng Province as a city official, and the official position was hereditary.

The current governor of Feng Province is Wan Shize, the 'wonderful flower' among the seventh generation descendants of the Wan family.

This man has no intention of being an official and loves painting, but he is really not good at painting. His paintings only have emotions and no skills.

However, he is a persevering person, the uglier he is, the more he paints, the more he paints, the uglier he is, and he never gives up.

Those who flattered him, who did not have a collection of more than a hundred ugly paintings by him at home, could not be called flattering him.

This is how the name of the great painter Wan Shize spread.

He devoted himself to diamond painting, and left his wife to deal with official affairs.

Wan Shize's first wife is Mo Qiwei, the cousin of the reigning monarch of Tengxue Kingdom.

She handles provincial affairs on behalf of Wan Shize. Her younger brother has secretly trafficked/sold/sold people for many years.

After Wan Shize inherited the post of provincial official, within a year, there was a missing person incident in Huaicheng.

And they all disappeared in the inn for no reason, as many as eight times a year.

This data is not obtained from the original body's memory, but from the confession letter of the official Huaicheng.

Wan Shize has been a provincial official for seven years, the official of Huaicheng has been a city official for six years, and the Fu family and his son have opened an inn for six years.

The time was right, and the city officials never recorded the report information of the victim, nor did they report it upwards.

Some sufferers leapfrogged to Yulan City to beat drums to complain, and all of them were imprisoned, some of the "honest" ones were released, and the "dishonest" ones never heard from again.

It is wishful thinking to go to the capital to sue the imperial court.

The sufferer was threatened and dared not speak up, so that there were always unsuspecting travelers who were victimized in Huaicheng.

Fu family father and son had an accident, their upline already knew, these few days is enough time for them to set up a net, waiting for us to walk in.

Manager Zhang was worried that we would walk into the enemy's ambush circle. He and Yue Nanxiang didn't know martial arts, so they would only become my burden.

"Zhang... Chief An, don't worry. We are a group of people who know martial arts. If we can't keep the two of you who don't know martial arts, then we are too weak. In that case, even if you don't drag us down, we can't win against them."

Ximen Wuhen nodded and said, "Director An must have confidence in our family."

His family refers to him, me and Yun Zhou.

Yun Zhou quickly pointed at me and said, "Ma'am, you are amazing!"

Then he pointed to Ximen Wuhen: "Brother, you are amazing!"

Finally pointing at himself, he said, "Yunzhou, amazing!"

Ximen Wuhen changed his previous cold image, hugged Yunzhou, stroked the top of his head, and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law is good, I have taught you so many times for my brother, I finally remembered."

I couldn't help but rolled my eyes, Ximen Wuhen is indeed teaching Yunzhou to speak these days, but the content he teaches, as long as people with normal minds don't want to learn.

Like a brother who is mighty and domineering, with the best martial arts in the world; and a brother with unparalleled martial arts, the most ruthless man in the world...

He wasn't embarrassed at all when he said it himself. Fortunately, Yun Zhou couldn't remember so many words, only the word brother.

Ximen Wuhen said with a look of relief: "Brother-in-law, he will call you brother."

Two big men over 1.8 meters hug each other, it is really difficult to see the 'parent-child relationship' between them.

Because they are all too handsome, I don't think it's hot eyes, but the scene of Ximen Wuhen's old father-like expression and Yun Zhou sneaking on his shoulder and nibbling chicken feet is a bit funny.

Manager Zhang became even more worried. He looked at me and at Ximen Wuhen, hesitant to speak.

Yue Nanxiang now seizes all the time to practice kung fu, she doesn't care about other things at all.

The disappearance of Yunzhou and I in the inn room aroused her. She was so anxious and unable to do anything.

This is what Director Zhang told me later, when Yue Nanxiang saw Ximen Wuhen demolish the inn, she realized that she also wanted to have that kind of strength.

Manager Zhang saw her working so hard, and wanted to accompany her, but unfortunately his body didn't allow it, and he sprained his waist the first time he practiced.

It was obviously too much to travel these few days, it was Yue Nanxiang's secret guard who carried him to Yulan City.

I decided to enter Yulan City, but we can't all go in. I left Nan Jiu and others outside the city, and brought Yue Ba into the city with us.

She walked ahead of me and entered the city half a day earlier than us. The five of us walked into the city swaggeringly without any disguise.

Yulan City is built on the mountain, the main city is on the mountain, but the area below the mountain is also considered the urban area. The houses are arranged in a ring shape, and the streets are also rings. The big ring is surrounded by a small ring, and the houses are built in the middle of the ring.

At regular intervals, a wide road will be left between the houses, allowing four carriages to walk side by side.

There are farmlands and vegetable beds on the outside. We waited until the sun was about to set before entering the city. There were many farmers returning home from work on the road.

The foot of the mountain is full of small courtyards of farmers’ homes. There are no inns or restaurants, so you have to go to the mountain to stay.

Standing at the bottom of the mountain, you can see the 'signboard' flying on the mountainside, and it doesn't take much time to walk up.

The streets of the entire mountain are paved with bluestone slabs, the slope has been adjusted artificially, there are no steep slopes, and all the steps are very low, so the elderly and children can easily step up.

Adults can step up several steps in one step, and there are slide cars specially set up for transporting heavy objects, and things can be dragged from down the mountain to up the mountain.

The principle is similar to that of the cable car, and there are also special "sedan bearers", and you can hire them for a little money to carry you up the mountain or up the mountain.

The local residents have long been accustomed to this living environment, and no one will spend money to take a sedan chair unless there is an emergency or a sick patient who needs to be transferred.

We are not in a hurry to stay, and appreciate the local customs and customs while walking.

This is the time when the city is full of smoke and fire. Every family starts to cook pots and cook. Children playing outside are called back by their parents. Some night businesses hang up lanterns to prepare for business.

We first went to the wonton stand on the side of the road to eat, and asked the boss where to stay.

The boss saw that we were old and young, and it was obvious that we were a "family" going out for fun, so he recommended an inn with a kind boss, a clean store, and an affordable price.

"We are not short of money, so you can tell me which store is the most expensive in this city, not the best, but the most expensive." I waited for the boss to introduce, handed over a silver ingot, and squeezed out a kind smile.

The boss trembled and almost threw the silver ingot out.

I held his hand and told him to put away the silver ingot.

"That, that, the most expensive... is the one above!" He put the silver ingots into the pocket of his worn apron tremblingly, and pointed to an inn on the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, if you glance around, you can probably see the signboards of four or five inns.

The one he was referring to didn't have the biggest signboard, but it was the only one with a gold border.

The store may seem to create a sense of low-key luxury.

After supper, we strolled slowly to the door of the inn.

"Fengqi Inn." I read the words on the signboard and walked in first.
