Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 374 Origin of Zheng Xuan

Chapter 374 Origin of Zheng Xuan
"Should ordinary people call me Mr. Zhao or Mr. Zhao?"

Zheng Xuan was holding a bottle of wine with playful eyes and made a joke.

"It doesn't matter. Many people say that I don't have any official airs."

Zhao Kang smiled and poured out the tea in the cup, took Zheng Xuan's flask and poured a glass of wine.

Qi's wine tastes more sour, Jing's wine tastes more fruity, and Qian's wine is close to white wine, but still far from it.

Even with Zhao Kang's alcohol capacity, he wouldn't get drunk even if he drank two pounds. At most, he would be a little dizzy.

The two of them had a drink, and Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "That's it, Mr. Zhao, if you have any business with me."

Zhao Kangdao: "The Qian Kingdom is not as martial as the Jing Kingdom. Everyone is a martial artist. There are not many fifth-grade peak experts like Mr. Zheng."

"I have also sent people to check the famous masters in the Jianghu of Qian Kingdom, but none of them have Mr. Zheng's name, so I am just a little curious."

Zheng Xuan laughed at himself: "He is just a nobody from a mountain village, how can he be famous?"

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Zhao Kang said: "That's not what you say. As the saying goes, the civil and martial arts learned are sold to the emperor's family. In today's world, everyone wants to spread their fame overseas. A master like Mr. Zheng will never be lonely no matter what. Ji Wuming is the one."

"Do you dislike fame, or do you want to remain anonymous?"

Zheng Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Zhao, do you want to find out about me?"

"If I want to recruit someone, I have to know their background, right?" Zhao Kang smiled, not hiding his little thoughts.

Zheng Xuan fell silent for a while and looked at Zhao Kang for a while before speaking: "Mr. Zhao, can I ask a question?"

"You ask." Zhao Kang nodded.

Zheng Xuan: "How high is your position in our Qianguo court? How much power do you have?"

"About this high and this big." Zhao Kang pointed to the sky with a smile. .

Zheng Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Stop teasing me."

Zhao Kang suppressed his smile: "This is no joke."

Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then thought of some rumors, and looked at Zhao Kang in shock: "Your surname is Zhao! You are still so young, so I know who you are!"

"It seems that I will have to change my name again in the future." Zhao Kang sighed.

Zheng Xuan said excitedly: "It's really you, why do you have to do this yourself?"

"I came to Qingzhou not just for disaster relief." Zhao Kang said.

There are many clans in Qingzhou clan, and most of them are related to the grain industry.

Let these people stumble this time, and it will be much easier to rectify them later.

Hearing what he said, although Zheng Xuan didn't understand the reason, he didn't ask any more questions and looked at Zhao Kang thoughtfully.

Zhao Kang smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Zheng wants something?"

Zheng Xuan raised his head: "Since it's you, I won't hide it anymore. As you know, our Jianghu in Qianguo is not big compared to Jingguo, but it is not small either."

"I come from Tieshanmen, do you know anything about it?"

Zhao Kang was slightly surprised: "Youzhou Tieshan Gate? Wasn't it destroyed a year ago?"

Zheng Xuan clenched his fists subconsciously, "Yes! There were 72 people in this sect, from the sect master to the handyman disciples. They were all beheaded and exterminated. I was the only one who escaped!" Looking at his appearance, Zhao Kang knew that this iron man There must be something fishy about the destruction of the mountain gate.

As the saying goes, Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibitions with force.Warriors with advanced cultivation have always been a huge headache for those in power in the court.

If nothing else, there are the first-level killers trained by Prince Ning Xiao Feiyu, such as Ling Wuya.

When there are enough people like this, putting them on the battlefield can even become a key force that can turn the tide of the war.

Therefore, no matter which country they are in, warriors are important targets of the court's control.

Zhao Kang was aware of this, so during his return to China, he paid a lot of attention to the trends in the Qian Kingdom.

So I understand it more or less.

The Tieshan Sect where Zheng Xuan was located was a well-known sect in Youzhou, but it was destroyed by troops sent by the imperial court a year ago.

The situation reported by local officials in Youzhou at that time was that Tieshanmen was related to a group of grass bandits in Youzhou, so the local government combined with several sects who had enmity with Tieshanmen to destroy them.

Zhao Kang also didn't expect that the strong man in front of him with the fifth-grade peak cultivation level would actually be a remnant of Tieshan Sect.

He said: "It seems that Tieshanmen was destroyed, something fishy happened?"

Zheng Xuan's eyes filled with grief and anger, and he immediately got up and knelt down, and said tremblingly to Zhao Kang: "Please ask the Imperial Master to make the decision for the 72 people in our Tieshan Gate! Our Tieshan Gate has never colluded with bandits and bandits."

"It was all framed by the Lin County magistrate, the Fiery Fire Sect, and the White Dragon Sect!"

Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Zheng, you get up first and then talk. If there is really an injustice, I will naturally give justice to Tieshanmen!"

Zheng Xuan stared at Zhao Kang as if the person in front of him was his only life-saving straw. Zhao Kang helped him up and asked him to calm down first.

It can be seen from the fact that Zheng Xuan was seriously injured that day but escaped desperately to report the news, and rescued Wu Xinyi when asked to do so, that this person's character is definitely not bad.

Therefore Zhao Kang is willing to believe him once.

Zheng Xuan suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and told Zhao Kang the truth about the destruction of Tieshan Gate.

"I am the deputy sect leader of Tieshan Sect. In addition to recruiting disciples, Tieshan Sect's main source of income is escorting goods for the Chamber of Commerce. There are many bandits and bandits in Youzhou."

"There are risks in transporting goods by major chambers of commerce, so these people will hire some sects to escort their caravans. It was precisely because of this that Tieshanmen was destroyed."

Zhao Kang nodded slightly and motioned for Zheng Xuan to continue.

Zheng Xuan sighed and said: "A year ago, the sect master was entrusted by Zhang Jun, a county official, to work with the Bailong Sect of the Fierce Fire Sect to escort a batch of goods to Liucheng."

"Originally, everything went smoothly along the way, but unexpectedly, just when we were about to arrive at Liucheng, we encountered bandits. The bandits were quickly dealt with, but during the fight, the truck transporting the goods overturned, exposing the What’s inside.”

"Are the goods inside prohibited items?" Zhao Kang said softly.

Zheng Xuan nodded: "It's salt!"

Zhao Kang's eyes flashed: "Private salt?"

"Yes! Zhang Jun has been secretly selling private salt."

Zheng Xuan said sadly and angrily: "The sect master is upright by nature. When he saw that the goods being escorted were private salt, he immediately went back to Zhang Jun to find out the reason and reported it to Lord Zhou Mu."

"But I didn't expect that Zhang Jun had sinister intentions. He first used his words to stabilize the sect master, and then joined forces with people from the White Dragon Sect and Liehuo Sect to frame our Tieshan Sect for selling illegal salt together with the bandits."

"People from the White Dragon Sect and the Fierce Fire Sect collaborated with him, and Zhang Jun even found a group of bandits to give perjury. So far, all the members of my Tieshan Sect, Mo Bian, had their homes raided by troops sent by the imperial court, and I was the only one who escaped."

"During my escape, I was chased by the government and the White Dragon Sect's Liehuo Sect. When I was seriously injured and unconscious in the wilderness, I was accidentally rescued by my family master. Then I came to Qingzhou and became the martial arts master of Qingluan girl..."
