Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Shangguan Shu nodded with tears in his eyes.

Shi Tianyu then took Shangguan Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Let's go shopping. I still have a banknote worth ten thousand taels of silver with me. I'll take you to buy some new clothes, new jewelry, whatever you want to buy. Just buy what? In addition, take your maid and groom with you. Later, I will show you a new house of mine. In the evening, you let the maid and groom cook in the new house, and we invite my father-in-law to come over. Have dinner together and have a simple wedding, but without any outside influence.”

As long as she can marry Shi Tianyu, why does Shangguan Xiaoxi care about these things and links?

~~
Shangguan Shu also nodded.

It was naturally a huge regret not to hold a grand wedding for her daughter. However, I heard Shi Tianyu say just now that he would definitely compensate Shangguan Xiaoxi in the future, and would ask Long Live Lord to grant Shangguan Xiaoxi the status of his royal wife.

Thinking about how to prevent those people in the world who still hated Shi Tianyu from coming to assassinate Shangguan Xiaoxi, Shangguan Shu also felt that Shi Tianyu's suggestion was reasonable.

~~
Shangguan Xiaoxi jumped happily and followed Shi Tianyu out of the Heheng Chain Silver Branch. Shangguan Shu immediately ordered someone to find Tang Ye, took out a banknote worth one hundred thousand taels, handed it to Tang Ye, and said, "Tang Ye, you have been an orphan since you were a child and have been following me for twenty years. Thank you for your hard work." You. My daughter Xiaoxi, I can’t help but whomever she likes. Please go away. One hundred thousand taels of silver can ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, and that your descendants will be prosperous and you won’t have to fight in the world. It's a shame. But I hope we can still be friendly and not try to undermine each other. I can't help you if you don't succeed!" After that, I apologized to Tang Ye. It's very polite to owe one's body.

Naturally, he doesn't want to turn against Tang Ye and fight with each other in the future.

~~
As the leader of the Money Gang, his eyes are so sharp. However, the Money Gang is engaged in legitimate business and generally does not participate in fighting in the world, unless someone robs their money, robs their escort car, and smashes their bank account.

Therefore, Shangguan Shu would rather use money to resolve some grievances than use a knife. This is also the most important reason why the Money Gang can survive in the world for thousands of years. The Money Gang is also the only gang in the world that can exist for thousands of years without falling.

Shangguan Shu's family has enjoyed prosperity and wealth for dozens of generations.

If you can spend money to eliminate disaster, then let the money do the suffering.

~~
When Jing Ji came back and saw this, he was speechless, but with tears in his eyes, he also liked Shangguan Xiaoxi in his heart, but Shangguan Xiaoxi loved someone else. Love cannot be forced, what can be done?

Eh!
~~
Haha!

Tang Ye looked up to the sky and laughed, with tears in his eyes, but he stuffed the banknotes back into Shangguan Shu, knelt on the ground again, and said with choked sobs: "Thank you, the gang leader, for treating me so generously. Tang is not talented and is willing to continue to work for the money gang. Until the last moment of his life, Tang knew one thing in his heart. After leaving the Money Gang, Tang would be nothing. So, Tang would just follow the gang leader into the world. Don't worry, although my heart is very painful, I am also very distressed. , However, I will never do anything to disgrace the Money Gang.”

After saying that, he covered his face and started crying, tears streaming down his face, and he felt really uncomfortable.

Jing Ji also knelt down on the ground, hugged Tang Ye, and cried with Tang Ye.

~~
Shangguan Shu stood stunned for a while, took out his sweat towel, wiped the tears of Tang Ye and Jing Ji, then helped Tang Ye and Jing Ji up, helped Tang Ye and Jing Ji sit on the chairs, reached out and patted Tang Ye and Jing Ji. Jing Ji sat down on his shoulders.

Jing Ji quickly got up, boiled water to make tea, brought tea and poured water.

The three of them were speechless for a long time, and then went to the "Tianwaitian" inn together to entertain Bu Si Lu Yuan, Ancha Sima Zhifu, and Du Commander Si Gao Yingqiang.

~~
During the banquet, Shangguan Shu still praised Shi Tianyu for his two powerful efforts in western Liaoning, and for having done a lot of practical things in Guxiang County. Now he has set off an upsurge in Fucheng to promote the important tasks of "one correctness, two grasping and three repairs", which will definitely become a sensation in the world in the future. The young prefect.

Shi Tianyu has become Shangguan Shu's son-in-law, so his father-in-law naturally wants to say good things for his son-in-law, which makes Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang all dumbfounded.

Shangguan Shu's status in the world is extremely high. Although he rarely participates in the fighting in the world, his status cannot be underestimated by any official.

In this world, no one dares to offend Guanshu.

The Money Gang has a very complete network of branches all over the world. After all, it has experienced thousands of years of evolution. Therefore, its escort team is very large, and its overall force value is also high, which is not comparable to that of ordinary banks and escort agencies.

~~
After coming back to their senses, the officials of the Third Division also repeatedly praised Shi Tianyu for his talent, good looks, superior martial arts, and his courage to act and take on responsibilities, especially for the annihilation of the two major gangs, Black Hand Hall and Perak Hall in Guxiang County, and the annihilation of the two major gangs in Fucheng The Iron Fan Gang and the Spirit Snake Gang.

This luncheon, at least on the surface, was very lively and the atmosphere was very good, but Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, and Gao Yingqiang all felt very strange: Hasn't Shi Tianyu always had a grudge against people in the world? Why would a truly No. 1 gang in the world like the Money Gang actually put in a good word for Shi Tianyu?

strangeness! How strange!
As expected, there was a big tree supporting Shi Tianyu behind him.

~~
On the streets.

Shi Tianyu went shopping with Shangguan Xiaoxi and bought some new clothes, new jewelry, new carriages, new horses, several new maids and servants who were so thin that their flesh was almost invisible, and then asked Shangguan Xiaoxi to come to her new residence. have a look.

Shangguan Xiaoxi was very happy when she heard that she could visit her new residence.

That was also her wedding room!

Shi Tianyu asked Shangguan Xiaoxi and others to close their eyes and hold hands together.

He said that he would give Shangguan Xiaoxi a surprise.

~~
Not to mention asking Shangguan Xiaoxi to close her eyes means asking Shangguan Xiaoxi to die, and Shangguan Xiaoxi is also willing to do so.

Waiting for love for five years is not easy.

Shi Tianyu raised his left middle finger and led Shangguan Xiaoxi and others to locker No. 02 in the system space.

~~
This was originally the residence of Tan Ruofeng and his son Shi Jiahan.

However, now, Tan Ruofeng's mother and son have moved away and moved to locker No. 03, living with Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Xiangxiang and others. Tan Ruofeng was the beloved daughter of Tan Shifu, who was once the most famous but not the richest financier in the world. Her Shimazhuang originally had groups of people from the world coming to eat and drink for free every day, which was very lively.

Tan Ruofeng also liked liveliness since she was a child.

Therefore, in the courtyard of locker No. 02, although there were maids and servants waiting on her, she was still lonely after all. However, in order to have a child, Tan Ruofeng endured it.

Now I move to locker No. 03 and start having fun with Wang Jing and others.

Although I was not willing to have multiple maids serving one husband, I gradually started to look away from it after becoming a mother. At the same time, it was quite refreshing to be able to go to the ground with Wang Jing and others to fight with various people from time to time.

In addition, there are many courtyards in Locker No. 03. Each lady and Tan Ruofeng's own maids and servants live in different courtyards. This place is located between mountains and green lakes, with roaring tigers and wild wolves. Snakes and beasts are everywhere, and water monsters are beating the waves, which makes Zhu Lili and her son Tan Ruofeng feel very fresh.

It’s great to live in such a paradise!
~~
At this moment, Shangguan Xiaoxi entered locker No. 02, opened her eyes, and suddenly felt like she was in a dream.

Shi Tianyu introduced various advanced living facilities to Shangguan Xiaoxi and her maids and servants, and a maid was transferred from locker No. 03 to serve as the housekeeper in locker No. 02.

With this housekeeper, Shangguan Xiaoxi and the maids and servants living here knew everything from then on.

Then, Shi Tianyu took Shangguan Xiaoxi to visit the master bedroom and the main living room. After visiting the bathroom in the master bedroom, Shi Tianyu hugged Shangguan Xiaoxi and covered her mouth with his.

Shangguan Xiaoxi was a little scared, a little shy, and a little expectant. She gradually became confused and intoxicated, and rolled onto the bed with Shi Tianyu.

Without waiting until the evening, Shangguan Xiaoxi and Shi Tianyu completed the glorious task of their wedding night half a day earlier, at noon.

When the two woke up, it was already evening.

~~
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Shi Tianyu raised the middle finger of his left hand, walked out of the system space, and walked to the vicinity of the Heheng Chain Bank branch. He used the "Heavenly Escape Sound Transmission" to let Shangguan Shu come out, and asked Shangguan Shu to tell Tang Ye and others not to follow him.

After seeing Shangguan Shu, Shi Tianyu relied on his pair of golden eyes to find that no one was following him, so he raised the middle finger of his left hand, pulled Shangguan Shu into the system space, and led Shangguan Shu to one of the large courtyards of locker No. 02.

Shangguan Xiaoxi excitedly threw herself into Shangguan Shu's arms.

~~
Shi Tianyu asked Shangguan Xiaoxi to introduce various living facilities to Shangguan Shu first, then raised the middle finger of his left hand, returned to the ground, ordered some exquisite Sichuan dishes from the "Tianwaitian" Inn, put them in the rice bucket, raised the middle finger of his left hand, went to the master bedroom of the system space garden, and brought the food to Yang Miaoyun.

However, Yang Miaoyun cursed angrily: "How long do you want to trap me with the illusion of the heavenly palace? You are despicable and shameless. You deceived me and made me become your wife. You are a piece of shit." Because she didn't understand these living facilities, she hadn't taken a shower or changed clothes until now. After waking up, she just sat there. After the happiness, her mind became a little clearer.

However, he still believed that Shi Tianyu was using the "Illusion of Heaven" of the "Sacred Heart Technique" to confuse his mind, and he still believed that he was in a fairyland in his dreams.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I'm not lying to you. This is my house outside Fucheng. While you were asleep, I used the Immortal Steps to return to Fucheng to handle official business. It was really fast. It only took half an hour to get here from Yuhuang Lake in Kunyang Prefecture. Let's go. I'll take you to see your sister Li Gongchun. From now on, you two poisonous sisters can keep each other company."

He reminded Yang Miaoyun again that Li Gongchun was also his wife.

~~
Yang Miaoyun asked in shock, "What? Li Gongchun? Is Li Gongchun here too? You, you, what do you mean? Did she, she, she marry you too?"

Shi Tianyu nodded with a smile and reached out to hug Yang Miaoyun.

Yang Miaoyun angrily pushed away Shi Tianyu's hand, suddenly drew her sword, stabbed Shi Tianyu with it, and cursed: "Shi Tianyu, you bastard, you dare to let me be your concubine, I will kill you. Humph!"

When Shi Tianyu was about to hear the sword pierce his throat, he used his "Finger Magic" and flicked his finger.

Clang! Yang Miaoyun's sword was deflected.

Yang Miaoyun was shaken by this power, and her sword grip was crooked and she stumbled.

It took him a while to steady himself with the help of his sword.

~~
Shi Tianyu laughed again and said, "Yang Miaoyun, I didn't ask you to be my concubine. You are also my wife, and Li Gongchun is also my wife. You are equal, but you two have a companion. She is the Red Snake Fairy, and you are the Poison Fox. You are both very poisonous and have common topics. In the past, you were both members of the Yihua Palace's subordinate organizations, so you two will not be lonely if you live together. Besides, I am going to destroy the Yunlong Gang and rescue the leaders and disciples of the six major martial arts sects in the southwest. Without you in the way, it will be smoother. That day, at Dianchi Lake, I deliberately provoked a rift between you and me. The rumors of Guo Tangguan, Jin Zhencai and others will surely spread all over the martial arts world soon. Will those people in the martial arts world let you go? Your father's martial arts is not the best in the world. Can he protect you? Piaomiao Valley is now half dead in the martial arts world. It has no money and no people. It will be destroyed soon. If you agree to live here and agree to be with Li Gongchun, I will take your father here later and live with you. Think about it carefully, put away your sword, and don't fight. You are not my opponent. In addition, if you don't want to be with Li Gongchun, I will hire some maids and servants to serve you."

What you said makes sense and the life prospects are also good.

However, Yang Miaoyun could not accept the reality of multiple women sharing one man.

~~
Yang Miaoyun held the sword woodenly, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, she leaned on the sword, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears. She felt very sad. All her dreams as a girl were shattered. She never expected that when she grew up, she could only be someone's concubine.

God!

~~
Shi Tianyu stretched out his hand and grabbed the cold jade sword in Yang Miaoyun's hand. The cold jade sword flew out of Yang Miaoyun's hand and into Shi Tianyu's hand.

Yang Miaoyun came back to her senses and roared, "I can't have more women serving one man, never! If you destroy me, I will fight you."

He actually clenched his fist and pounced towards Shi Tianyu.

I really want to fight with Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu raised his hand and tapped the acupoint in the air, sealing Yang Miaoyun's "Zhongwan Point".

Yang Miaoyun rushed forward with a punch, but was instantly immobilized.

Shi Tianyu put the cold jade sword into Yang Miaoyun's scabbard, picked up the lunch bucket, hugged Yang Miaoyun, and flew to one of the large courtyards of locker No. 07.

~~
Li Gongchun, who was pregnant, was shocked when she saw this. She asked in shock, "What? Is Yang Miaoyun also your new wife? Are you using the money from the treasury to cheat young girls again?"

Shi Tianyu put down the rice bucket, released Yang Miaoyun, pressed Yang Miaoyun's "Tian Ding Point", and untied Yang Miaoyun's "Zhong Wan Point".

He laughed again and said, "I am a second-rank official. How can I have only one wife in my life? Even ordinary landlords and ordinary officials have three wives and four concubines, don't they? You don't know the outside world, do you?"

After that, he turned his head and said to Yang Miaoyun: "Learn from your poisonous sister Li Gongchun and try to get pregnant with my child as soon as possible."

~~
Li Gongchun glared at Shi Tianyu angrily but could not say anything. She was already pregnant, what else could she say?

No matter how poisonous it is, it's impossible to break your own stomach with one punch, right?
Besides, this world is indeed just as Shi Tianyu said, don't all men with a little money have three wives and four concubines?
Therefore, Li Gongchun had to persuade Yang Miaoyun to be more open-minded, saying that women are like this, there is no other way, sister will take you to see the surrounding environment first, the scenery here is very beautiful, there are mountains, water, all kinds of rare birds and animals, it is a paradise on earth.

It is also said that one hand cannot tango, and flies do not bite seamless eggs.

If you, Yang Miaoyun, hadn't fallen in love with my husband, why would you sleep with him? My husband wouldn't force a beautiful girl to do anything. I'm an experienced person, and I know that you must have voluntarily undressed my husband.

Isn't that kind of thing just that simple?
After that, he took Yang Miaoyun's hand and explained to her the living facilities here and introduced the excellent living environment here.

~~
Shi Tianyu then floated away, passed the large garden of the system space, picked up a few jars of good wine from the warehouse, carried a few jars of good tea, and returned to locker No. 02.

But Shangguan Shu was extremely excited, with tears all over his face.

Although he was very rich, he had never seen such good living facilities. He did not expect that his daughter would marry such a good man and live a life as poetic as a painting.

There is also TV to watch. What kind of life is this?

Even in the imperial palace, there is no such comfortable life!

Is this paradise?

Could it be the “Phantom of Heavenly Palace” in the Sacred Heart Sutra?
Could it be that Shi Tianyu successfully cultivated the "Sacred Heart Technique" and gave me an illusion? However, Shi Tianyu was so young, how could he successfully cultivate the "Sacred Heart Technique"? That was a technique created by Emperor Shi Tian "Xu Fu" who spent a thousand years!
~~
Shangguan Shu was so excited. Although he was confused, his doubts were overshadowed by his excitement.

Shi Tianyu came back and had dinner with Shangguan Xiaoxi and Shangguan Shu. Shi Tianyu toasted Shangguan Shu repeatedly.

Shangguan Shu asked many times what this place was?
Shi Tianyu only said that this was Qingcheng Mountain.

Shangguan Shu said, "I have been to Qingcheng Mountain more than once, but I have never seen such scenery."

Shi Tianyu smiled and said that his father-in-law should just tell Xiaoxi to live in the mountainside of Qingcheng Mountain. In this way, if there is any vendetta in the future, Xiaoxi will not be implicated. A real man must protect his wife, children, old and young.

These words moved Shangguan Xiaoxi to tears again.

However, Shi Tianyu has always been like this, and what he says now is not hypocritical or false.

Shangguan Shu thought about it and for the sake of his daughter's safety, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After dinner, Shi Tianyu raised the middle finger of his left hand, held Shangguan Shu’s hand, walked out of the system space, and returned to the Heheng Chain Bank branch.

Shangguan Shu felt as if he had come out of some fairyland, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the big iron house of his Heheng Chain Bank branch. He was even more shocked, and turned around to see that Shangguan Xiaoxi's new home was gone.

In front of him, only Shi Tianyu was waving at him.

Shangguan Shu turned around and looked at the big iron house of the Heheng Chain Bank branch, then turned around and looked at Shi Tianyu, and was suddenly stunned.

When Jing Ji and Tang Ye heard the gatekeeper say that the gang leader had returned, they came out of the big iron house. Shi Tianyu said with a smile, "Brother Tang, Brother Jing, my father-in-law is drunk, please help him." Tang Ye and Jing Ji hurriedly helped Shangguan Shu back to the big iron house.

Shangguan Shu finally came to his senses.

~~
Shi Tianyu walked to Lu's mansion alone to meet Lu Yuan and his wife.

I have to show my face in front of Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang.

Otherwise, the three officials would have thought that Shi Tianyu was still "ill"!

Shi Tianyu arrived at the Lu residence, bowed and greeted Lu Yuan and Zou Hanzhen, and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'm here to pay my respects to you!" Lu Yuan supported Shi Tianyu, and saw that Shi Tianyu was in high spirits and had "fully recovered". He was overjoyed and took Shi Tianyu's hand affectionately and led him to his huge study.

Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang were already sitting inside.

~~
Shi Tianyu walked into Lu Yuan's study, and unexpectedly saw Xiang Laixiang sitting next to Dai Kun. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that he didn't kill Xiang Laixiang.

Xiang Laixiang had a pale face, sunken eyes, a sharp chin, and white hair and beard. He had been tortured in prison to the point that he was almost unrecognizable.

At this time, Xiang Laixiang saw Shi Tianyu coming, so he quickly stood up, clasped his hands, bowed and said: "I greet Lord Shi."

Although he said this, he secretly cursed Shi Tianyu's ancestors in his heart.

However, after Xiang Laixiang was released from prison, he learned that Shi Tianyu had become sworn brothers with Lu Chusheng and was considered to be on Lu Yuan's side, so Xiang Laixiang had to bow to Shi Tianyu again.

At least, on the surface, we have to respect our enemy Shi Tianyu.

After all, he is a higher-ranking official than you.

~~
Shi Tianyu did not return the greeting, but smiled and said: "Master Xiang, you are really a public outrage in Fucheng. In order to protect you, I sent you to Chengdu. It is mainly for your protection. You must understand my painstaking efforts!"

There is no better way to say good things than to lie with open eyes in officialdom.

~~
Haha!

Lu Yuan and Dai Kun burst into laughter, secretly cursing Shi Tianyu for being despicable and shameless for saying such words.

Xiang Laixiang bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Lord Shi, for saving my life. I will never forget your great kindness."

Although he said this, he actually wanted to eat Shi Tianyu alive right now.

~~
Shi Tianyu waved to Lai Xiang and said, "Master Xiang, please take a seat!"

After saying that, he sat down too.

Lu Yuan asked the maid to serve tea to Shi Tianyu, and then introduced the situation to Shi Tianyu, saying: "My dear nephew, Lord Dai has been recommended by your uncle to be the chief of the Sichuan Salt Transport Department, Xiang Laixiang was also bailed out of prison by your uncle, and was recommended by your uncle to be the assistant magistrate of the Ansi Mansion, and Tian Lufeng was promoted to the deputy governor of the Salt Transport Department. You must maintain good relations with the lords in the future!"

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your teachings, uncle. I will definitely build good relationships with all parties."

After that, he turned to Dai Kun and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Dai, on your promotion! I was just about to recommend you to Uncle Lu! I didn't expect Uncle Lu to act faster. I am really ashamed! Mr. Dai is also very lucky. It is worth your life to have a colleague like Uncle Lu!"

Even Lu Yuan praised it.

~~
"Haha!" Dai Kun laughed loudly towards the sky, feeling very proud.

I knew that what Shi Tianyu said was a lie, but nice words were pleasant to hear.

Shi Tianyu immediately changed the subject and turned to Lv Yuan, who was also grinning, and said, "Uncle, I heard that Sichuan is planning to build a Thousand Years Temple. I decided to build two temples in Fucheng and Anzi County first, so that you can promote them in Sichuan later. I also want to thank you for your support."

Lu Yuan, Dai Kun, Xiang Laixiang and others were shocked and delighted when they heard the words, and praised in unison: "Oh, good! Good, good, good! My dear nephew, you are really smart." There was no need to talk to Shi Tianyu, Shi Tianyu took the initiative to ask Ying. Lu Yuan and Dai Kun's conspiracy was about to succeed again, so why not do it?

What's more, Shi Tianyu immediately said that he wanted to build two thousand-year-old temples, one more than Pan Ruzhen in Jiangnan built.

This achievement will definitely be recognized by Wei Zhongxian.

~~
Dai Kun was secretly happy, thinking: Shi Tianyu is dead this time. His Majesty is weak. If the throne is replaced soon, the gossips of officials in the world will drown you, Shi dog cub. Humph! Shi Tianyu, you are too naive. This is the officialdom, not the rivers and lakes. You should quit the officialdom and go to the rivers and lakes to lick blood. The rivers and lakes may be more suitable for you, a little dog cub!
~~
Shi Tianyu didn't care about Dai Kun's strange look, and turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Uncle, since I took office as Gu Xiang, I have never asked for money from the higher authorities. Now, in addition to building two thousand-year-old ancestral temples, I also have to do the important tasks of 'one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing'. This is the memorial I drafted to ask for money from the Bushi Mansion, please support it, uncle." After taking the initiative to ask for money, he handed the memorial to Lu Yuan.

No matter what you do, you use the art of war, one thing after another.

~~
Lu Yuan took the memorial, opened it, and exclaimed, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver? My dear nephew, even the current imperial treasury does not have that much silver, right? Other prefectures and states have requested approval of a maximum of ten thousand taels of silver, and your uncle can only approve five thousand taels of silver for them at most. So, since you have become the sworn brother of my son and have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, your uncle must show his appreciation no matter what and approve you sixty thousand taels of silver." He took a breath of cold air, but had to approve it, so he gave a big discount.

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the desk, and hurriedly picked up the pen to approve it, so as to prevent Shi Tianyu from continuing to dwell on the matter.

~~
However, Shi Tianyu did not say anything, knowing that he could not approve so much silver.

However, I was already satisfied to be able to get 60,000 taels of silver.

Before coming here, I had already foreseen that this should be the largest sum of silver approved by Lu Yuan since he became the governor.

Now, the entire Ming Dynasty was extremely poor.

~~
Dai Kun and Lu Yuan were in sync with each other and said immediately: "Oh, everything is going well! Congratulations, Mr. Shi!" He felt very comfortable seeing that Lu Yuan gave Shi Tianyu a big discount. He congratulated him on the surface, but in fact he was disturbing him to prevent Shi Tianyu from making any more requests.

After Lu Yuan finished marking the memorial, he picked it up and blew dry the ink.

Shi Tianyu stood up, bowed forward, took the letter, and said, "Thank you, uncle."

~~
"Master Ma is here!"

At this time, a guard came in to report that Ma Zhifu had arrived.

Everyone quickly stood up to welcome Ma Zhifu.

When Ma Zhifu arrived, he went straight to the point and said to Lu Yuan, "Lord Lu, Yantai County is in the process of 'one rectification, two arrests, and three repairs'. The former county magistrate Cheng Xiuzhu forcibly demanded a bribe of 20,000 taels of silver from the merchant Zhuo Yue. I have already filed a case. Now, I have come to report and ask Lord Lu to decide whether to announce the evidence of Cheng Xiuzhu's crime. Although Cheng Xiuzhu is dead, we still need to search his house and investigate his previous bribery."

~~
Lv Yuan did not answer Ma Zhifu directly, but asked Dai Kun and Shi Tianyu for their opinions, because this might involve Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang. After all, Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang have served in Fucheng for many years. How could they not be bribed by Cheng Xiuzhu? Oh, I feel really annoyed. Damn it, it seems that it is not a good thing for Lv to deal with Dai Kun, an old man.

However, he still wanted to protect Dai Kun, so he deliberately said, "My dear cousin, nephew Shi, what do you two think?"

Also tell Ma Zhifu that the Lu and Dai families are in-laws, so Ma Zhifu, don't do anything rash.

~~
Dai Kun was so frightened that he was sweating coldly and his legs were shaking.

However, thinking that Cheng Xiuzhu was already dead and there was no evidence, he plucked up the courage to say, "I suggest that we handle this impartially. Confiscating Cheng Xiuzhu's property will help the Censorate conduct an in-depth investigation and collect evidence, and uncover more corrupt officials."

He suddenly remembered that Cheng Xiuzhu had eavesdropped on the relationship between Shi Tianyu and Dai Ruyi in the Dai Mansion, and he was planning to kill Cheng Xiuzhu's entire family.

~~
Shi Tianyu said with a smile: "I have no objection."

Just go with the flow and help Dai Kun succeed.

Even if you want to kill someone to silence them, you don't have to do it yourself.

Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang must be more anxious than himself at this moment.

~~
Ma Zhifu clasped his hands, bowed and said to Lu Yuan: "Well, I will not disturb you, Master Lu, to rest."

He said goodbye and left immediately.

Shi Tianyu naturally didn't want to sit with Dai Kun, Xiang Laixiang and the like, so he stood up and said goodbye, saying to Lu Yuan: "Uncle, I will return to Fucheng tomorrow morning and start the construction of the Qiansui Temple as soon as possible. It is expected to be completed in the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. When the time comes, please invite the civil and military officials of the court to Fucheng for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Oh, please let An Ziwu accompany me to the treasury of the Bushi Mansion to withdraw the silver tomorrow morning, and I will take the silver back with me."

~~
Lu Yuan thought that after the two ancestral temples in Sichuan were built, he and Shi Tianyu would be recommended by Wei Zhongxian for promotion, so how could he not agree? He said, "Okay! I will ask An Ziwu to wait for you in front of the treasury of the government office early tomorrow morning. Goodbye, nephew. You have a heavy responsibility, so you should rest early and take care of yourself."

Shi Tianyu nodded, turned and left Lu's house, came to the "Three Immortals" Inn, returned to the room he had booked, raised the middle finger of his left hand, opened the system space, walked into the locker No. 02 in the system space, and went to celebrate his wedding with Shangguan Xiaoxi.

~~
In Lu's mansion.

Lu Yuan said to Dai Kun, "My dear relative, you and Lord Xiang may have important matters to discuss. Please go back to your west wing. I still have some documents to review." He implied that Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang should kill Cheng Xiuzhu's entire family to avoid any future troubles.

Dai Kun understood what he meant, and then he and Xiang Laixiang clasped their hands, bowed and said goodbye.

~~
Back in the west wing, Dai Kun closed the doors and windows of the small study, and whispered to Xiang Laixiang: "Brother, are there any other underworld gangs that can be contacted? We have to wipe out Cheng Xiuzhu's entire family, otherwise, if his wives and concubines can't stand Ma Zhifu's torture, they will confess that you and I have been accepting bribes for many years, and you and I will be imprisoned again! Once we are involved in these cases again, Lord Lu can't protect us. Ma Zhifu has always wanted to squeeze Lord Lu out and let him be the boss himself. Now, if the two of us run into Ma Zhifu's knife, even Lord Lu will be finished."

~~
Xiang Laixiang whispered, "My dear, Ma Zhifu will send people out of the city early tomorrow morning to Yantai County to arrest Cheng Xiuzhu's family. It's too late for us to contact the underworld gangs now. Besides, we don't have any money now! At least we have to advance three thousand taels of silver. I am already penniless. Oh! It's all because of that bastard Shi Tianyu. If I hadn't been in jail last time, I would definitely be able to come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, the money in my family has been confiscated by the Fucheng government office and used to carry out the important task of 'one rectification, two arrests and three repairs'."

~~
Dai Kun heard this and felt great resentment towards Shi Tianyu in his heart, so he cursed Shi Tianyu in a low voice: "Shi Gouzai's poison is rare in the world. Brother, don't worry, if you and I join hands, we can definitely kill Shi Gouzai. Well, I know you have no money now. You sit for a while, I will go to Han Fenghuang to discuss and see how much money you can come up with. You also think about whether you can contact some underworld gangs now, and help our two brothers wipe out Cheng Xiuzhu's family as soon as possible, otherwise, you and I will be dead, we both received a lot of bribes from Cheng Xiuzhu in the past!" After that, he got up and went to the bedroom to find Han Fenghuang.

~~
Facing Dai Kun asking for money, Han Fenghuang said angrily: "Where can I get the money now? Shi Tianyu only gave me two gold ingots and a silver note of one thousand taels. I used the silver note to buy a big house and hired some maids, servants, cooks, grooms, sedan bearers, and bodyguards to guard the house. Now, I only have two gold ingots left. Oh, it's all your fault. You made a good family penniless. If you marry my daughter Yi'er to Shi Tianyu, you won't have to worry about a mountain of gold and silver now!"

Although she said this, she was worried that her husband's affair would be exposed, so she quickly took out two gold ingots and stuffed them into Dai Kun's hands.

~~
Dai Kun smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, what can you accomplish with this little money? Now, please find Zou Hanzhen. She should not be asleep yet. Borrow some money from her. Later, I will go to the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office to act as an agent. I will receive new bribes soon and will be able to pay off this loan soon. You can borrow 30,000 taels of silver from Zou Hanzhen. Go quickly! This must be done tonight. Otherwise, you and I will be dead. That Ma Zhifu is jealous of my promotion, and it's a lucrative job. Doesn't he hate me to death? He arrested Cheng Xiuzhu's family with the purpose of killing Xiang Laixiang and me."

~~
When Han Fenghuang heard that Dai Kun would receive new bribes, her eyes lit up immediately. She loved money the most, so she quickly said yes and went to find Zou Hanzhen to borrow money. Dai Kun returned to the study and asked Xiang Laixiang, "Is ten thousand taels of silver enough?"

~~
Xiang Laixiang shook his head and said, "It will cost at least 20,000 taels of silver, right? That means killing all of Cheng Xiuzhu's family, including men, women, old and young, leaving no one alive. Add the maids, servants, cooks, sedan bearers and grooms of the Cheng Mansion, there must be at least dozens of people, right? Asking the Jianghu gang to help, it will cost a thousand or several hundred taels of silver for each person killed. My dear brother, this money must be paid, it is the life-saving money for our two families."

Although he said this, he secretly thought: Now I am penniless, I have to make a few thousand taels of silver from this matter to live on, right? If I walk by the river, my shoes will definitely get wet!
Besides, I suffered in prison for you, Dai Kun. Humph!

~~
Dai Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then 20,000 taels of silver."

Just at this moment, Han Fenghuang came over with a few silver bills and handed them to Dai Kun.

Dai Kun looked through the banknotes carefully, took out a few, and handed the rest to Xiang Laixiang, saying, "This is the money Han Fenghuang borrowed from Zou Hanzhen. Brother, you must do a good job on this! Hey, where are you going to find someone now?"

Xiang Laixiang took the banknote without counting it. He had been the Tongzhi of Fucheng for a long time and had been in charge of finances for a long time, so he had a very good feel for it.

When he sees money, his eyes light up.

Moreover, he was sure that he would make some money, so he said, "It's late at night now, where can I find someone? The best way now is to ask the guards of Lu's mansion to do this."

~~
Dai Kun exclaimed: "How can this be possible? Won't it implicate Lord Lu?"

Xiang Laixiang smiled and said, "No. When I was the Tongzhi in Fucheng, I held financial power and often represented you to come to Chengdu to give gifts to the people in the Sansi Mansion. Therefore, I got to know a guard in the Lu Mansion nicknamed "Floating Light and Phantom". His name was Lu Tongtian. He is the successor of the Shadow-shooting Skill. He is highly skilled in martial arts and excellent in Qinggong. Floating Light and Phantom refers to his good Qinggong. Now, the city gates have been closed for a long time. Only he can sneak out of the city and go to Yantai County to kill Cheng Xiuzhu's family. Don't worry, my dear brother, this man is greedy for money and can get things done."

~~
Dai Kun nodded, but he felt uneasy.

Xiang Laixiang turned around and found Lu Tongtian who was not on duty tonight. He gave Lu Tongtian three thousand taels of silver and ordered Lu Tongtian to kill Cheng Xiuzhu's family overnight. He repeatedly reminded him to wipe out Cheng Xiuzhu's entire family and leave no one alive.

However, not a single blade of grass or tree in the Cheng Mansion can be touched, and the illusion must be created that Cheng Xiuzhu's family members committed suicide by taking poison.

In one night, he could earn three thousand taels of silver. Lu Tongtian was so happy that he quickly sneaked out of the city, stole a horse, and rushed to Yantai County overnight. He used the shadow-shooting skill to break the hearts of all the people in the Cheng family, wiped out Cheng Xiuzhu's entire family, and created the illusion that Cheng Xiuzhu's family members committed suicide by taking poison. He wanted to search for some money and food, but the money in the Cheng Mansion had already been transferred away by Cheng Xiuzhu's family.

After Cheng Xiuzhu was killed by Tang Guan, Cheng Xiuzhu's wife and concubine quickly deposited the money into the Heheng Chain Bank branch.

Although what was exchanged were silver bills, where could Lu Tongtian find these silver bills?
This probably requires digging three feet deep into the ground.

However, Lu Tongtian did not have enough time, so he had to give up searching for the gold, silver and jewelry in the Cheng Mansion. The next morning, he rode back to the Lu Mansion in Chengdu and continued on duty. For the time being, he was unnoticed.

Xiang Laixiang also earned 17,000 taels of silver from Dai Kun by handling this difficult matter. She quickly bought a house and hired maids, servants, and bodyguards to protect it.

~~
Early the next morning.

The shocking bloody incident that occurred in Cheng Mansion shook Yantai County and shocked the Fucheng government office.

Wang Chao had no choice but to go to Yantai County in person to investigate the case. He met up with Tian Lufeng, Yuan Weiqing and others who had just arrived in Yantai County. They found that all the bodies had taken poison and the stench was unbearable. So they had no choice but to temporarily give up investigating the case.

The case was temporarily left unresolved.
