Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 70 Confrontation
"This man is crazy!"

Several government officials not far away were jumping around like injured chickens. Everyone present was shocked. If someone hadn't blocked Zhou Huan, Lang Wannian might have been so scared that he peed his pants.

A quarter of an hour later, Lang Wannian came out of the Beijing Times with a cold face, very, very angry at this moment!
This is the capital, and someone actually dares to kill someone in front of the imperial officials!There are three government officials and one miscellaneous official of the sixth grade, but this official is also the official of the imperial court!
Lang Wannian can imagine that this matter will spread throughout the capital soon, and even the palace will hear the news!
His boss wanted to get a share of the Beijing Times, so he sent him to do this. The powerful people in the capital were interested in the family fortunes of ordinary people. If the other party did not have a deep backing, they would send someone to accuse the other party. , and then forced the other party to hand over all their property or even sell themselves into slavery.

The Beijing Times is backed by the Wudang faction, but so what?

The people behind Lang Wannian will not infringe on the interests of the Wudang Sect, and will even provide some benefits to satisfy the Wudang Sect. But later on, the Wudang Sect will be in a state of ecstasy. As for civilians like Zhou Huan, it is like Just like those wealthy businessmen and common people who were deprived of their property and were left homeless, haven't they read the passage of the great master Zhou Huan?

Only one person in the Liang Empire is considered a human being!
Do they think that by finding a backer and a powerful person to take refuge, they can make money and make a fortune without any worries?But they don’t know that the world is like wolves eating sheep.

But today, someone dared to kill someone in front of him?He failed in this job, damn Wang Huan!
"Which Wang Huan is crazy about Mr. Lang? Everyone has seen it. He usually stays in Ruyi Tower. Where should we go?"

"Go, why don't you go? The man surnamed Wang attacks the imperial officials and wants to kill the three tribes. We will go to Ruyi Tower now."

After saying this, Lang Wannian glanced at the panicked Qingmeng not far away. When he was attacked just now, the Wudang Sect people actually stood by and watched!
"Lang Wannian, how do you do things?"

Qingmeng came to Lang Wannian's side and said in a deep voice.

"That's not what we promised!"

"Really? Anyway, things have come to this point, what else do you want?"

Lang Wannian looked at Qingmeng and asked, this young boy still thinks that everything can be done as he wants after entering the water?

At this time, a group of people appeared in front of everyone, wearing the clothes of the inner guards.

"The Za family passed by here and heard that someone murdered a court official. Everyone, please hand over the trafficker to me for interrogation."

The speaker was a fair-faced and beardless father-in-law in his 30s, while his inner guard stood behind him with a long knife in his hand.

"Eunuch Liu, what brought you here? My errand was personally ordered by Guo Shangshu. Eunuch Liu, you..."

How could Lang Wannian not know the hot Eunuch Liu in front of him?He is the emperor's caring person.

"Stop talking nonsense and take people away."

Eunuch Liu didn't say much, and his inner guards swarmed up and surrounded Zhou Huan.

"Mr. Wang, please go with the Zajia family. The Zajia family will ensure that you are safe and sound. How about that?"

In response to his harshness towards Lang Wannian, Eunuch Liu's attitude towards Zhou Huan is very, very kind.

"Of course, thank you very much, father-in-law."

Zhou Huan jumped on a fast horse without hesitation, which put a smile on Eunuch Liu's face.

"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment!"

Someone shouted in the distance, but the voice was like speaking in the ears before anyone was there, and everyone could hear it very clearly.

"Let's go, Eunuch Liu, I've been holding in a lot of anger today, can you buy me a drink?"

"Okay, let's go!"

Eunuch Liu smiled, clamped the horse hard, and the two men turned and left, while his inner guards drew their long knives and formed a sword formation to meet the people who were rushing towards them!
The rushing figure did not take action in the end, but watched Zhou Huan and Eunuch Liu turn around and leave with a sigh.

"Meet the Lord."

Qingmeng, who was standing aside, quickly came up to salute, but Master Qingxu just looked at Zhou Huan's retreating back, his face as dark as water.

He felt that something was really wrong.

Liu House.

Eunuch Liu's home is in a large house next to the imperial city. The interior is very luxurious, with changes every step of the way and a scene every step of the way. When the servants passing by see Eunuch Liu, they all bow down and salute. These servants are all wearing silk and satin. , all of them had red faces and were very respectful.

"Not long ago, an official wrote a letter reprimanding me for living in excessive drinking and extravagance. I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks?"

"I have never interacted with Eunuch Liu, nor do I know his character, so I cannot comment."

"Mr. Wang, you are overly concerned. The whole family is very happy that you can get on my horse and leave with me today. You know, people in the world say that we are eunuchs who are messing with the government. We will be disliked wherever we go. Last time The Za family showed kindness and rescued a scholar who was imprisoned. However, after he was released from prison, he was hanged and refused to accept my favor." "Eunuch Liu, you are overthinking. Since that man is a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, You must put your life's future above farming and studying. If you get the reputation of an eunuch, not only will you suffer, but your family will suffer as well. Since ancient times, using eunuchs to build your reputation has been a golden road."

"That's right, that's right. Human relations and sophistication are all worth it. Does Mr. Wang have any other advice?"

"Eunuch Liu might as well check the cause of the scholar's death to see if he was killed by someone else. The people Eunuch Liu can save with kindness must be capable people, and the more capable people are, the more afraid they are of death."

"..."

Eunuch Liu blinked, then blinked again, and then suddenly patted his thigh hard.

"Look at this idiot like me, why didn't I think of this back then? They killed someone, and they could put a shit basin on my head, and their own family could benefit. No wonder that incident spread all over the world, no wonder those scholars What do you mean, you will starve to death without eating the food that comes to you!"

"Those of us who run newspapers are best at turning dark things into white ones, turning bad things into good ones, pondering the various situations in the world with a dark psychology, and pouring bowls of poisonous chicken soup for everyone's soul."

"Poisonous chicken soup?"

Chicken Soup for the Soul Eunuch Liu certainly knew that Master Zhou invented this term to describe something that warms people's hearts.

"Mr. Wang, the Zajia family first apologizes to you. This time the Ministry of Rites attacked the Beijing Times. The Zajia family had already heard about it, but they waited aside to take advantage. Later, when they saw you killing Mr. Wang, the Zajia family saw that the matter was serious. , I was afraid that you would go to jail and suffer a lot, so I came forward."

"Eunuch Liu, you don't have to be selfless to help others. I don't like the Confucian thing that looks at character first and intention first. Help is help. As long as you don't reach out after deliberately adding insult to injury, I'm very grateful."

"Mr. Wang, Senior Brother Qingxu did something wrong before. I want to apologize to you first."

A voice came from behind the screen, which surprised Eunuch Liu. A person walked out from behind the screen. It was none other than Qingjing Zhenren, the master of Xuanwu Temple.

"The leader of the Wudang Sect is so talented that he can break into the Za family's house at will?"

Eunuch Liu's face showed anger. He wanted to say something but was blocked by Zhou Huan.

"Eunuch Liu, please calm down for the sake of my face. I happen to have something to talk to the Wudang faction."

"it is good."

"Master Qingjing, I wonder why you are here?"

"Mr. Wang Huan and Wang, Senior Brother Qingxu is an upright man, not ordinary, and made a big mistake in handling the Beijing Times. Mr. Wang, please return to Xuanwu Temple with Pindao. Pindao guarantees that with the reputation of the Wudang Sect, whether he kills officials or others, The Wudang Clan will bear all the responsibility for the matter."

Zhou Huan stared at Master Qingjing. The two had been working together for three months. Zhou Huan still understood Master Qingjing's character, but now, Zhou Huan would be seeking death if he listened to him and sought asylum from the Wudang Sect!

It is a serious crime for Zhou Huan to kill an official, so what about the Wudang sect who can protect Zhou Huan?
At that time, everyone in the world will think that Zhou Huan has received a great favor from the Wudang Sect, and Zhou Huan can only rely on the Wudang Sect!
Unless Wudang Clan helps Zhou Huan from the beginning, Zhou Huan can only sneer if he reaches out in the middle.

"Neither you nor I want to see things come to this point. Fortunately, Eunuch Liu came forward that day. Otherwise, Master Qingjing rescued me on the way, and I would really have no excuses."

Zhou Huan simply made it clear that if Master Qingjing Qingxu kidnapped Zhou Huan on the way that day, it would have been a good choice for the Wudang Sect at that time.

"Mr. Wang, you..."

"Master Qingjing, if I say that the newspaper office was closed down and I was imprisoned, I have already prepared for it. Would you believe it?"

"I believe in a person who can create such a career in three months."

"Then if I say one more thing, whether it was Eunuch Liu or other father-in-laws, it was within my expectation to come out to save me when I was in trouble. I wonder if Eunuch Liu and Taoist Master Qingxu believed it?"

After letting out a long breath, Taoist Master Qingjing and Eunuch Liu looked at each other. After a few minutes of silence, Eunuch Liu asked.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?"

"Then why do you want to kill officials?"

"Because I was upset and I was happy."

Zhou Huan's answer shocked both Taoist Priest Qingjing and Eunuch Liu.
