Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Tang Guan, Gong Hanyu, Gong Lengyue, Gong Lengxing and others took up their knives and swords and ran up to the city wall to kill the few soldiers guarding the city wall. Unexpectedly, there was an ambush on the city wall.

Xie Wen, Gongsun Ren, Yang Feng and others led the crowd to throw out many grenades.

Boom! There was a shocking explosion, which caused Situ Qiang, Tan Jingtian and others to fly into the air, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Situ Yan knelt down at the foot of the city wall and burst into tears.

Prior to this, he had accompanied his brother all the way to besiege and assassinate Shi Tianyu.

Now that her brother is gone, Situ Yan no longer has any spiritual support in her life.

Don’t you know how to live from now on?

~~
Tang Guan, Gong Hanyu, Gong Lengyue, Gong Lengxing and others fled in a hurry and fired green flame arrows as a warning, meaning that Zhong Wanqiang and others should withdraw from the Qiansui Temple. Zhong Wanqiang had no choice but to give up the battle with Master Xuwang and lead the Beggars' Sect disciples to flee out of the city.

However, outside the city, they encountered grenades thrown by two thousand soldiers from the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion in Fucheng, led by He Sihai and the Dai brothers.

There were bursts of earth-shaking noises, flying dust, billowing smoke, and screams one after another.

The Beggars' Sect disciples were blown to pieces again.

~~
Tang Guan dodged several grenades and said in horror: "Why didn't you go to Yantai County?"

He Sihai sneered, "Ge Xiuwei's 30,000 rebels are not enough for Lord Shi to kill alone. What are we going there for?"

Then he roared again: "Kill!"

The Dai brothers and two thousand soldiers threw grenades again, blowing up the Beggar Gang disciples to pieces.

The people in the underworld hurriedly fled on horseback. Zhong Wanqiang, Ding Huajiang and others ran faster than rabbits.

He Sihai and the Dai brothers ordered that all the intact heads of the wounded rebels be chopped off and taken back to Fucheng to be hung.

~~
Shi Tianyu returned to Fucheng, floated down from the air, and walked to the Qiansui Temple.

Zhang Hui ran over excitedly and said with a smile: "Sir, I brought some people to prepare two red cannons behind the Qiansui Temple. I was holding torches and ready to light them, but I never used them. What a pity."

~~
Shi Tianyu laughed, hugged Zhang Hui, kissed her, and then let go of her. He walked into the Qiansui Temple and drifted the two red cannons back to the system space. Then, seeing He Sihai leading his troops back, Shi Tianyu ordered the two thousand soldiers to pile up all the bodies of the rebels and then set them on fire.

~~
Then, Shi Tianyu returned to the Fucheng government office and immediately summoned all the officials to announce their rewards.

No matter what, Shi Tianyu could predict that he would not be in office in Fucheng for too long, and he had to quickly promote a group of confidants.

If you want to achieve great things, you must have a group of people to support you.

So, after all the officials arrived, Shi Tianyu sat solemnly at the desk in the court and announced the promotion of He Sihai and the Dai brothers on the grounds that they had made great military achievements and quelled the rebellion.

It was announced that He Sihai was appointed as the magistrate of Anzi County.

Dai Yuguang was appointed as the magistrate of Pingting County.

Dai Yutian was appointed as the general manager of Qiansui Temple in Fucheng.

Jiang Xiaohe and Liu Laifu were promoted to deputy general managers of Qiansui Temple.

Although it's a bit messy, there are excuses.

~~
He ordered Su Xing and Xu Huan to draft an official document immediately, and sent Jiang Xiao in disguise to fly to Beijing on horseback to submit the document directly to the Ministry of Personnel without going through the Sichuan Governor's Office, in order to achieve the goal of cutting the Gordian knot.

Then, he led several trusted men into the inner hall and whispered to He Sihai to secretly investigate Bai Youlong's illegal gold mining.

He required Dai Yuguang to repair the road from Pingting County to Fucheng and build one hundred stone arch bridges, and asked Wang Chao to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to the Anzi County government and 1 million taels of silver to the Pingting County government.

He also announced that Su Xing was promoted to be the general manager for bringing clear spring water into the city, and allocated 600,000 taels of silver to Su Xing.

Wang Chao was full of complaints but he dared not say a word.

Now, Shi Tianyu’s prestige in the Fucheng government office is too high.

Wang Chao no longer dared to talk nonsense.

~~
Liu Cong turned a blind eye.

No matter what Shi Tianyu said, Liu Cong agreed.

It can be seen that Shi Tianyu now has more connections and background than before. Now, when Shi Tianyu promotes his confidants, he does not need to go through the Sichuan Governor's Office and can report directly to the Ministry of Personnel.

It seems that Shi Tianyu is about to be promoted.

~~
Liu Cong decided in his heart that no matter where Shi Tianyu was assigned to work in the future, he would follow Shi Tianyu.

Otherwise, if I stay in Fucheng, I will definitely not be able to make a living.

When Shi Tianyu was the only one left in the court, Zhuo Yue cleverly sent Shi Tianyu two hundred gold bricks.

~~
Shi Tianyu threw two hundred gold bricks into the large garden of the system space, and then led Zhang Hui, Helan Minyue, Liu Rufei, "Dudu" and "Shiyu" back to the system space.

After Shi Tianyu sent Liu Rufei back to locker No. 19, he hugged Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue and went back to locker No. 18 to rest.

Early the next morning.

He got up, showered, changed his clothes, and then went to locker No. 3 to have breakfast with ladies Wang Jing, An'er, Tan Ruofeng, Zhu Lili and others. Then, he went back to the Fucheng government office to handle official business.

~~
Early in the morning, bright sunshine poured in from the main gate of the Fucheng government office, bringing a warm breath of spring to such a quiet and cold day.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Dai Kun, Tian Lufeng and others came on horseback.

They were terrified when they heard that a rebellion had broken out in Fucheng last night.

However, when they arrived at the Fucheng government office, Shi Tianyu said that the battle was over and all the rebels had been wiped out.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others were greatly shocked. It felt like a dream and they could not believe it was real.

Shi Tianyu then recounted with exaggeration how He Sihai and the Dai brothers led the Qiansui Temple guard battalion in a bloody battle, and also how Jiang Xiao and Liu Laifu led 300 detectives to protect the safety of the Qiansui Temple.

Anyway, Shi Tianyu did not take any credit for himself, but attributed all the credit to his trusted subordinates.

In this way, it is convenient to promote a group of trusted confidants under your command.

~~
Ma Zhifu didn't care about the life and death of Shi Tianyu, He Sihai and others. After chatting for a while, he asked Shi Tianyu to immediately withdraw the silver from the treasury of the Fucheng government office, hand it over to the Bushi Mansion for storage, and then send it to the Ministry of Revenue.

Shi Tianyu has already withdrawn nearly two million taels of silver from this money and allocated it to Su Xing, the general manager who brought the spring water into the city, and the county government of Anzi County and Pingting County. If the money of all the landlords in Fucheng is collected and first deposited into the treasury of the Busi Mansion, then Shi Tianyu will not be able to keep it and will directly give it to Wei Xueyan to transfer to the Ministry of Revenue. Shi Tianyu can withdraw nearly half of the silver as the expenditure of Fucheng to promote the "Three Policies of Shi", handle some practical matters of people's livelihood, and win the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu had planned this in advance, so he said with a smile that after hearing the news, the Jinyiwei had sent people to Fucheng to escort the two million taels of silver back to Kyoto, and that they would escort the money directly to the Ministry of Revenue, as he heard that the Emperor would inquire about the matter.

Ma Zhifu was so angry that he was fuming and couldn't say a word, but he hated Shi Tianyu in his heart.

No matter who is the governor, he would hate Shi Tianyu to death at this moment.

~~
Governor Lu Yuan and Commander-in-Chief Gao Yingqiang were also very annoyed. They were about to speak and question Shi Tianyu why he was making such a fuss. Did a mere prefect really think that the Governor's Office and the Three Sichuan Offices did not exist?

However, Wei Xueyan led her troops here. In addition to Kou Yanming, Li Zhenhai, Murong Sheng, "Wu Qian", Shao Qicong and other Jinyiwei masters, she also brought 30,000 Jinyiwei, all of whom were wearing Feiyu uniforms, embroidered spring swords on their waists, and all rode tall and majestic horses.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Shi Tianyu and others quickly knelt down to welcome Wei Xueyan and pay their respects to Princess Changxiang.

~~
Wei Xueyan said calmly: "My dear ministers, please stand up!" She personally helped Shi Tianyu to stand up and supported him in public.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others were very embarrassed.

Shi Tianyu welcomed Wei Xueyan and her party into the inner hall of the government office and served them the best Longjing tea. He also reported to Wei Xueyan that the headquarters of the remnants of the Mahayana Sect was in the "Ghost King Valley", and took out several printed pictures and handed them to Wei Xueyan.

He also pointed out the people in the picture including Master Harmony, Zhou Fuquan, Guo Dongxiang, Xie Zhichuan and others.

As a result, Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others dared not say a word, no matter how dissatisfied they were in their hearts.

After all, Shi Tianyu not only quickly put down the rebellion, but also personally found the location of the headquarters of the remnants of the Mahayana Sect.

Shi Tianyu's contribution is huge. After the incident is reported by the Jinyiwei, it will definitely attract the attention and praise of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian, the Nine Thousand Year Old, and Wei Xueyan, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

It is simply impossible for Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang to bring down Shi Tianyu.

~~
With the pictures as evidence, Wei Xueyan immediately sent Kou Yanming to lead some Jinyiwei to the "Ghost King Valley" to investigate the situation and verify the facts. She also publicly praised Shi Tianyu for his decisiveness and great contribution to maintaining the security of the court, and said that she would definitely report to the Emperor.

Wei Xueyan's skin is whiter than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks around, she has an elegant and noble temperament that impresses people.

As a result, Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Dai Kun and others did not dare to question Shi Tianyu in public, nor did they dare to ask Shi Tianyu to hand over the seized silver to the Bushi Mansion.

Then, Wei Xueyan took the evidence provided by Shi Tianyu and led the experts to escort two million taels of silver back to Kyoto.

~~
As for Fucheng’s initiative to “return land to the people”, how much money did the Fucheng government collect from the landlords?
Wei Xueyan really didn't ask any questions, knowing that the money Shi Tianyu handed over must have been discounted.

However, because he had a great respect for Shi Tianyu in his heart, and Shi Tianyu had found out the location of the headquarters of the remnants of the Mahayana Sect, he took the initiative to hand over two million taels of silver to the court.

Therefore, Wei Xueyan secretly helped Shi Tianyu and no longer asked how much money Shi Tianyu had retained.

Wei Xueyan also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was hope for her to recommend Shi Tianyu to Zhu Youxiao again to be promoted to a second-rank official, concurrently holding the title of Minister of Six Ministries, and to be promoted to the position of Chief of Military Affairs and Grain Officer for the entire country.

Now, with just one small move, Shi Tianyu raised enough tax revenue for a year for the Ming court.

This year, the Ming Dynasty court had a great harvest!

Shi Tianyu is really amazing.

Out of public interest and overall consideration for the Ming Dynasty, Wei Xueyan hoped that Shi Tianyu could be promoted to the position of the chief military officer. In this way, would the Ming Dynasty still be plagued by internal and external troubles?
~~
Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Dai Kun, Shi Tianyu and others saw Wei Xueyan off from Fucheng.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang led their troops to Yantai County again, and found that Zhu Xiang, Qiu Feng and others were leading the common people to pave the road, filling all the potholes that were caused by the bombing last night.

Zhu Xiang told Lu Yuan and others how Shi Tianyu led his troops to quell the rebellion and wiped out 30,000 rebels in less than half an incense stick of time.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others were all dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others led their troops to the "Ghost King Valley" in Pingting County, where they met with Kou Yanming and others who were investigating and collecting evidence.

~~
Kou Yanming could tell from the scene that a fierce fight had indeed taken place in the narrow valley of "Ghost King Valley" last night. Relying on his own martial arts skills, he analyzed the caves and valleys of the narrow valley of "Ghost King Valley" for Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others, and found out which places had the soil and rocks loosened by the high temperature of Shi Tianyu's "Kunlun Flame Power", which places had the rocks cracked by Master Heyin's "Great Kasyapa Air Cover", which places had been scratched by Zhou Fuquan and others with "finger knives", and which places had been stabbed and scratched by Xie Zhichuan's "Fifteen Deadly Swords".

As martial arts masters, Lu Yuan, Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing were very impressed by Kou Yanming's analysis and praised him as the leader of the new three great masters in the capital.

~~
After Kou Yanming finished his investigation and evidence collection, he said goodbye to Lu Yuan and led his troops back to Kyoto.

Lu Yuan, Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang and others returned to Chengdu in a depressed mood.

They didn't get any money and didn't get any credit for suppressing the rebellion, so they all felt unhappy.

Ma Zhifu rode his horse for a while, then rode side by side with Gao Yingqiang, discussing secretly how to get rid of Shi Tianyu.

~~
Now, in the evidence submitted by Shi Tianyu to Wei Xueyan, it has been confirmed that Xiong Baitong, Zhong Wanwang, Zhong Wanqiang, Xue Tielong, Guo Dongxiang and others are all remnants of the Mahayana Sect.

Before this, Ma Zhifu had sent Tian Lufeng to contact the martial artists in Xiongjiazhuang to attack the Qiansui Temple in Fucheng, and he was really afraid that the truth would be revealed.

~~
After Shi Tianyu sent Wei Xueyan and her group away, he sat down in the middle of the courtroom desk and was about to interrogate the two big landlords, Qiu Zhengba and Jiang Ziwei. At this time, Zhang Hui came hurriedly and wanted to talk to Shi Tianyu, but she seemed to have something to hide, and she stuttered and didn't get to the point. Shi Tianyu leaned over and took Zhang Hui's hand, smiling and said, "Hui'er, what's wrong with you today? Is there anything we can't say to our family?"

However, Zhang Hui still couldn't say it as she was too embarrassed to speak. She let go of Shi Tianyu's hand, blushed, and said, "Sir, please sit for a moment. Hui'er will let someone else talk to you." Then she turned and left.

~~
Shi Tianyu temporarily reviewed the official documents.

After a while, Zhang Hui led a few people into the court.

These people walked to the court, clasped their hands, bowed and greeted Shi Tianyu: "Mr. Shi, good morning!"

The people who came were Jiang Meilin, Li Tianxiao, Huang Rucai from the Snow Mountain Sect, and Guo Xiaotian from the Huashan Sect.

Shi Tianyu immediately stood up to greet her and said with a smile: "Oh, so you are the beautiful sister from the Snow Mountain Sect? Please come in!"

He immediately invited Jiang Meilin and others to the inner hall to drink tea, and personally poured tea and served water.

Out of gratitude for the Snow Mountain Sect's kindness in taking Zhang Hui in and accepting her as a disciple, they warmly welcomed Jiang Meilin and others.

~~
Compared to the time they met in Guxiang County two years ago, Jiang Meilin was less cold and more mature, as beautiful as peach blossoms after the rain. Li Tianxiao introduced Guo Xiaotian to Shi Tianyu, bowed and said, "Brother Shi, this is Brother Guo Xiaotian, the eldest disciple of Huashan Sword Sect. Brother Guo has now abandoned the notorious Hua Tiangang, completely left Longquan Villa, and joined the Xiaoyao Sect in Jiangnan, where he is a disciple of Master Linghu Zhan."

Shi Tianyu politely bowed to Guo Xiaotian, and then looked at Guo Xiaotian's long neck in surprise.

Because Guo Xiaotian’s nickname in the underworld is “Giraffe”.

However, Shi Tianyu had been in the officialdom and had already learned to be tactful, so he also praised him casually. Anyway, if he had anything good to say, he would just say it. He then said, "I have heard of Brother Guo's great name for a long time. It is a great honor to see Brother Guo's chivalrous spirit today."

~~
Seeing that Shi Tianyu was elegant, handsome, and polite, Guo Xiaotian did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly praised him, "Master Shi is dedicated to the people, and his iron fist is well-known in the court and the country. He is known as Shi Qingtian. I have long wanted to come to visit Master Shi. I didn't expect that I could meet Master Shi in the Fucheng government office today. I am so lucky! Master Shi, please give me more advice and guidance in the future."

I was also muttering in my heart: Shi Tianyu is a gentle and handsome boy, how could he be as scary as people in the world say! Shi Tianyu is so gentle and handsome, how could he be an iron-fisted prefect? ​​He is just a little kid.

~~
Jiang Meilin smiled brightly and said, "Master Shi, do you still remember us common people? You are the prefect now."

Hearing Shi Tianyu still calling her "beautiful sister", her face flushed and she was filled with joy.

This was what Shi Tianyu called Jiang Meilin when the Snow Mountain Sect took in Zhang Hui.

This name has never changed. It sounds familiar, it sounds friendly, it makes you feel good, and it sounds sweet.

Shi Tianyu said jokingly, "Haha! Beautiful sister, I may forget anyone, but I will definitely remember you! In the martial arts world, you are like a painting that becomes more and more attractive the more you look at it, a landscape with winding paths leading to a secluded place. Do you want me to forget you? It would be better for me to forget myself."

~~
"Ha ha!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the inner hall of the government office.

It’s just that everyone’s state of mind is different.

Guo Xiaotian saw Jiang Meilin smiling brightly after being coaxed by Shi Tianyu, and couldn't help cursing Shi Tianyu in his heart: Shi Tianyu is a piece of shit! It's really outrageous to flatter Jiang Meilin in such a vulgar way in public. How can he be like a prefect?

Isn't this just a small gangster in the underworld? Pah!

~~
Li Tianxiao secretly admired Shi Tianyu in his heart.

He thought: I haven’t seen him for two years, and Shi Tianyu has been promoted again. How long has it been since we last met in Guxiang County?

~~
Jiang Meilin smiled shyly, as elegant as a summer lotus, graceful and charming.

I also thought: Shi Tianyu is a gentle and handsome boy.

However, people in the government and the public all say that he is cruel and ruthless, iron-fisted and bloody. How could that be true? He is tall and graceful, and looks like a prince! He is graceful, born with a rich and noble appearance, and very cute.

~~
Seeing Jiang Meilin staring at Shi Tianyu in a daze, Guo Xiaotian couldn't help feeling jealous, so he changed the subject and said, "This tea smells so good! Is this Longjing tea from Jiangnan?" Jiang Meilin was flustered when she heard that, and she quickly lowered her head to taste the tea, with her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.

Shi Tianyu immediately instructed Zhang Hui, "Hui'er, isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Go to the Sichuan Inn later and book the entire building. I will accompany you today and have a couple of drinks with Brother Li and the others."

In fact, it has been guessed that Jiang Meilin and others must have come for the matter of Jiang Ziwei, the big landlord. He just wanted to use the warm hospitality to embarrass Jiang Meilin and others from speaking out.

~~
Huang Rucai said hurriedly: "Oh, Lord Shi, no, we are mainly here to ask Lord Shi for help with something."

Although he remembered the time when Shi Tianyu played a trick on him, he did not blame Shi Tianyu. Instead, he thought that Shi Tianyu was a really good guy, as he became a prefect in just a few years.

No wonder I was teased by Shi Tianyu back then. Shi Tianyu is truly a man of many talents.

However, at this point, he could only speak first and propose to release Jiang Ziwei. Otherwise, if they continued to chat, it would be difficult to speak as the conversation became more intimate.

~~
Shi Tianyu hurriedly said in a more cordial manner: "Brother Huang, who are you talking about? We are a family, we can talk about anything. As long as I can do it, I will do it."

Seeing Shi Tianyu being so kind, Li Tianxiao said, "Brother Shi, Jiang Ziwei is the uncle of my mentor. We are here today to ask you, Brother Shi, to help release Uncle Jiang."

He bowed and explained his purpose, but he found it difficult to speak and spoke haltingly.

~~
When Shi Tianyu saw that Li Tianxiao and Jiang Meilin and their group had indeed come for this matter, he was immediately embarrassed and his face changed drastically. He thought to himself, if he released Jiang Ziwei, then should he also release another big landlord, Qiu Zhengba?

If this is the case, how can we talk about new policies in the New Year?

Well, the people are cursing me behind my back!
~~
Seeing Shi Tianyu's face suddenly change and his brows furrowed, Jiang Meilin quickly whispered pleadingly, "Brother Shi, my great-uncle is nearly 70 years old. He can't stand being in the dungeon! Please let him go."

Shi Tianyu felt distressed when he saw Jiang Meilin's colorful clouds suddenly disappear and the spring was as deep as the sea.

He has always been extremely tolerant towards beautiful women and is born to be amorous.

But think about it, if I just let Jiang Ziwei go, how can I convince the people?

He arrested Jiang Ziwei with his own hands, and then released him with his own hands. So, how will the people view him in the future?
~~
Huang Rucai said hurriedly: "Master Shi, in this matter, please don't consider the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. Just do the sake of our master and release our great-uncle!" Seeing that Shi Tianyu remained silent for a long time, he quickly brought up Jiang Chaoyuan.

After all, the Snow Mountain Sect did do Shi Tianyu a favor in the past.

Many years ago, if the Snow Mountain Sect had not withstood all kinds of pressure and taken in Zhang Hui.

At that time, Shi Tianyu had to take Zhang Hui to travel around the world, and it was at least difficult to ensure Zhang Hui's safety.

~~
Zhang Hui also quickly pleaded with Shi Tianyu: "Sir, our master and his family withstood the pressure of the people in the martial arts world and took Hui'er in. You should just consider it as a repayment and release Uncle Jiang, okay?"

Shi Tianyu was even more embarrassed. He looked at Jiang Meilin and said, "How about this? I will accompany you to the dungeon. You can persuade Jiang Ziwei to return the land to the villagers and hand over 30,000 taels of silver for bail. I can also explain to the officials and the countless villagers. In the future, I will take care of him in other ways and never let him lose money. Is that okay?"

I had no choice but to give in, but I didn't cross the bottom line.

~~
Jiang Meilin's nickname in the martial arts world is "Fire Phoenix". She is violent and arrogant. She immediately became angry and shouted, "Shi Tianyu, are you so heartless and ungrateful?" Since she entered the martial arts world, people in the martial arts world have always been courteous to her, either because of her beauty or because of the martial arts status of Jiang Meilin's parents.

Today, seeing that she had begged Shi Tianyu in a low voice, but Shi Tianyu still didn't give her face, it really hurt her self-esteem.

So, Jiang Meilin slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Shi Tianyu angrily, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

~~
Peng Jinshi, Chen Biao, Pan Dong and others in the court heard the noise and rushed into the inner hall with the yamen runners. They asked in surprise, "Master Shi, what happened?"

Huang Rucai got furious when he saw Peng Jinshi and others coming in with iron chains and handcuffs in their hands, and shouted, "Hmph! Shi Tianyu, you don't recognize your relatives just because you're an official? Don't you remember how our Snow Mountain Sect treated you back then? Don't you remember we helped you? You're such an ungrateful person! Hmph! Let's go!" With a "swish", he drew out his sword, pushed Peng Jinshi away with his shoulder, turned around and left, very angry.

This situation will definitely happen as long as Shi Tianyu does not agree to release the people.

People in the underworld are hot-tempered.

This was something Shi Tianyu had expected.

~~
Chen Biao asked hurriedly: "You? Why is this happening?"

"Hmph!" Jiang Meilin's pretty face turned cold and she pulled Li Tianxiao's sleeve and left.

The people of the underworld all have bad tempers and are not easy to mess with or persuade.

Everyone seemed to have eaten a lot of chili peppers.

~~
Shi Tianyu said: "Forget it, let's go back to the court to do our work."

He reached out his hand in annoyance and patted Peng Jinshi's shoulder.

Zhang Hui felt a pain in her heart and was very sad. She burst into tears and chased after Jiang Meilin and her group.

The Snow Mountain Sect is her maternal family. Now Shi Tianyu has embarrassed Zhang Hui's maternal family so much, which really makes Zhang Hui sad.

Moreover, this was the first time that the Snow Mountain Sect came to ask Shi Tianyu for help. Why was Shi Tianyu so disrespectful?

Peng Jinshi was very puzzled when he saw this, and turned around and asked Shi Tianyu in a low voice: "Master Shi, what's going on?"

~~
Shi Tianyu lowered his head in distress and walked out with his hands behind his back. He was indeed in a difficult situation.

Because I really owe a favor to the Snow Mountain Sect.

And now, Zhang Hui is already Shi Tianyu's wife.

But, after thinking about it carefully, I still can't let go.

Once Jiang Ziwei is released, all the efforts to "return the land to the people" will be wasted.

However, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he turned around and whispered to Peng Jinshi, telling him this and that.

Peng Jinshi stood there blankly for a while, then turned around and went about his work.

~~
It’s a bright spring, but my heart is not at peace.

Huang Rucai walked out of the government office angrily, cursing Shi Tianyu: "This little bastard, this dead dog official, is really inhumane. It's a shame for our Snow Mountain Sect in the past." Suddenly, Li Tianxiao behind him pulled his sleeve.

Huang Rucai immediately stopped talking and turned around to see Zhang Hui running up to him crying.

~~
Jiang Meilin turned around and saw Zhang Hui coming out crying. She couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Hui'er, why did you come out? Go back! I know Shi Tianyu is in a difficult situation." Zhang Hui was startled and stunned. She was a good person, but not the smart one.

~~
Guo Xiaotian was delighted when he saw this, and immediately scolded Shi Tianyu, destroying his image and elevating himself, saying: "Yes, Miss Huier, a dead dog official like Shi Tianyu is not worthy of you following him. No wonder people in the martial arts world call him cold-blooded and ruthless, the world's number one devil!" Huang Rucai also scolded: "That's right, Shi Tianyu is the devil of the martial arts world!"

Zhang Hui then yelled at Huang Rucai: "You stupid monkey, you are not allowed to scold my young master!"

Others wanted to scold Shi Tianyu, but Zhang Hui didn't want to do that and yelled at Huang Rucai.

Huang Rucai was suddenly very embarrassed and his face turned red.

~~
Li Tianxiao was more steady. Although he felt that Shi Tianyu was unkind, he did not want to curse him in public, so he advised: "Okay, this is the streets of Fucheng, not the mountains and forests." Huang Rucai did not dare to say anything, and Guo Xiaotian also blushed.

Zhang Hui suddenly came up with a bold idea. She pulled Jiang Meilin and said, "Senior sister, Hui'er will take you to break out of the prison. Humph! We will release the person ourselves." Jiang Meilin asked in astonishment, "Breaking out of the prison? That's a capital crime!"

After saying that, he shook his head again.

Although he has a hot temper, he is also wise.

~~
Li Tianxiao felt that Zhang Hui's words made sense, so he persuaded her: "That's right! Junior Sister, no matter how cold-blooded and ruthless Shi Tianyu is, he can't capture Hui'er and kill her, right?" Huang Rucai also felt that this was a good idea, so he echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Hui'er is familiar with the government office environment, and must know where the dungeon is. Let's not kill people randomly."

~~
Guo Xiaotian wanted to perform well in front of Jiang Meilin, so he encouraged Jiang Meilin to break into the prison, saying, "Miss Jiang, we come from a famous family, so why should we be afraid of a few constables?"

Jiang Meilin hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

I'm not afraid because I have Zhang Hui to take the blame.

If the truth is revealed, Shi Tianyu will not punish Zhang Hui, right? He will not arrest Zhang Hui, right? He will not kill Zhang Hui, right?

Then, Guo Xiaotian and his friends found an inn to stay in.

As soon as it got dark, Zhang Hui led the way into the dungeon and kidnapped Jiang Ziwei's family.

~~
That night, Li Tianxiao, Jiang Meilin and the other five people had a full meal and finally waited until dark. Then they changed into night clothes, ran through the streets and alleys, and went straight to the dungeon in the backyard of the government office.

The stars are hazy, and the night sky is as peaceful and undulating as the lush green mountains, forming a thick ink painting.

It was a dark night. Li Tianxiao and Jiang Meilin, led by Zhang Hui, headed straight for the dungeon, relying on the dim light of the yellow lanterns in the government office.

But, weird?
There was no guard in the dungeon, and the door was wide open. Could it be that Shi Tianyu understood Zhang Hui's intentions and deliberately withdrew all the troops so that the Snow Mountain Sect could enter the dungeon to rescue people and release Jiang Ziwei's family?

~~
Suddenly, Huang Rucai screamed, "Oh no! I've fallen into that dog official's trap!"

Just as Li Tianxiao, Jiang Meilin, Huang Rucai and the other five were hesitating at the entrance of the dungeon, torches suddenly lit up behind them, and a group of officials drew their swords and surrounded them. Chen Biao clasped his hands and bowed to Zhang Hui and said, "Miss Hui'er, it's so late, why are you in the dungeon? Lord Shi is waiting for you to cook at his mansion!"

Pan Dong, Peng Jinshi, Liu Laifu and Jiang Xiao came over with a group of detectives.

Jiang Xiao walked in front with a smile on his face. He bowed to Zhang Hui and clasped his hands.

~~
Zhang Hui angrily said, "Jiang Xiao, Chen Biao, what do you want?"

He actually drew his sword and looked like he was about to take action.

Chen Biao said with a smile: "Miss Hui'er, don't be angry. I will have to eat at your house in the future."

Jiang Xiao also smiled, not angry, and still had a cheerful look on his face.

Jiang Meilin saw that Chen Biao and the others would not use force against Zhang Hui, but would hold Zhang Hui back and make her helpless and at a loss. Huang Rucai could not hold back and cursed: "Bah! Dead dog official, why don't you get out of the way?"

Peng Jinshi laughed and said in a friendly manner: "Miss Hui'er, Master Shi is hungry, so he asked the clerk to wait for you here. Please go back to the mansion to cook." Li Tianxiao said angrily: "Humph! Let's go!" Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly flew to the roof first. Knowing that it was impossible to break into the prison, Shi Tianyu had already prepared for it, and Jiang Ziwei's family had been moved away by Shi Tianyu a long time ago.

~~
Jiang Meilin hugged Zhang Hui and whispered, "Hui'er, you go back. You and your servant have a deep bond. Hey! Shi Tianyu has no choice but to do this! If you let my great-uncle go, all his efforts to return the land to the people will be wasted. I understand. But I have to save my great-uncle. We are all in a dilemma." After that, she separated from Zhang Hui, and flew to the roof with Huang Rucai and Guo Xiaotian.

Li Tianxiao, Jiang Meilin, Guo Xiaotian and others disappeared into the night in an instant.

~~
"Alas, Shi Tianyu, this damn devil, is really capable! It's really weird." Huang Rucai ran out of the city, cursing like a shrew. I don't know if she was cursing Shi Tianyu or praising him?

Jiang Meilin said with emotion: "Alas, Shi Tianyu has given us enough face. If we were replaced by someone else, we would definitely lose our heads." After turning back to persuade him, she spurred her horse and rode away.

Huang Rucai, Guo Xiaotian, Li Tianxiao and the others did not dare to delay and hurriedly rode their horses to follow. They all thought that according to the rumors about Shi Tianyu's character, if someone went to the dungeon of Fucheng government office to rob a prison, there would probably be bloodshed on the spot.

Come to think of it, Shi Tianyu still cares about the old friendship.

It was human nature for Shi Tianyu to release Jiang Ziwei, but it was also reasonable for him not to release Jiang Ziwei.

~~
"This?! Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Huang Rucai asked Jiang Meilin blankly, but Jiang Meilin did not answer.

Jiang Meilin rode her horse wildly ahead, no longer willing to talk to anyone.

Huang Rucai had no choice but to ride his horse to catch up.

The four of them rode their horses to the Xiling Snow Mountain overnight.

~~
Xiling Snow Mountain stands tall in the sky, covered with snow all year round, with dangerous peaks, strange rocks, exotic flowers and trees, rare birds and animals, and rapids and waterfalls.

Early the next morning.

After listening to the reports from his two disciples and his beloved daughter, Jiang Chaoyuan remained silent.

Linghu Zhan looked at Jiang Chaoyuan with a smile.

Ren Jing was very angry and said angrily: "How can Shi Tianyu be so unkind? Has Shi Tianyu forgotten how we withstood all kinds of pressure and took in Huier for him?" She was really angry and sad.

~~
Jiang Chaoyuan quickly persuaded Ren Jing, saying, "Forget it, Madam. I understand Shi Tianyu's difficulties. If he releases my uncle, it will be difficult to report to his officials and the people, and Shi Sanzheng will not be able to implement any of his policies. Let's be more generous and help Shi Tianyu deal with people's livelihood issues. The greatest heroes serve the country and the people. If we don't cause trouble for Prefect Shi, we are helping him."

As one of the leaders of the nine major martial arts sects, he is knowledgeable and understands Shi Tianyu's difficulties.

Moreover, Jiang Chaoyuan had witnessed Shi Tianyu's ruthless methods when Shi Tianyu was only fifteen years old.

~~
Ren Jing was a woman after all, and it was difficult for her to understand Shi Tianyu's difficulties. She still said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't Shi Tianyu report to his officials and the people of Fucheng? Isn't he the prefect? ​​Isn't it just a matter of Shi Tianyu's words to release my uncle? If he releases my uncle, won't Shi Sanzheng be implemented? Shi Tianyu is so iron-fisted, it's impossible, right?"

Jiang Meilin also hurriedly persuaded Ren Jing: "Mother, you can't say that. Shi Tianyu is in a very difficult situation. His Shi Sanzheng is very popular among the people. Fucheng is really well governed by Shi Tianyu. If you ask him to release his uncle, then the other arrested landlords must be released as well! Isn't Shi Tianyu's Shi Sanzheng in the New Year over?"

After saying this, my heart was pounding. Why did I defend Shi Tianyu today? Why didn't I hate him for being so ruthless and ungrateful?
Jiang Meilin's face immediately flushed, and she looked graceful and embarrassed.

~~
Ren Jing angrily scolded Jiang Meilin: "You?! You kid, how can you say that Shi Tianyu is heartless and ungrateful, and you are also the one who speaks well of Shi Tianyu? Did Shi Tianyu give you money? Were you bribed by him? Really!"

Guo Xiaotian and Li Tianxiao glared at Jiang Meilin unhappily, then looked back at their mentor.

Now, Guo Xiaotian has left his master and joined Linghu Zhan's Xiaoyao Sect.

It was so uncomfortable to follow Hua Tiangang in the past. I felt like Hua Tiangang was just a dog of Longquan Villa.

~~
Jiang Chaoyuan was a smooth person, but he also had his reasons for being smooth, so he advised: "Okay, you guys go out and practice swordsmanship. Alas! Even if Shi Tianyu doesn't let you go, if the news gets out to the world, people in the world will think that our Snow Mountain Sect and Shi Tianyu are at odds, and they won't always come to the Snow Mountain to cause trouble for me." After saying that, he walked out with his hands behind his back, and went to instruct his disciples in practicing swordsmanship.

Everyone stared at Jiang Chaoyuan in a daze, feeling that whatever Jiang Chaoyuan said made sense.

Eh! This is really confusing.

~~
Ren Jing was unwilling to give up. She quickly caught up with Jiang Chaoyuan and asked in astonishment, "My husband, are we going to let this matter go? Are we really going to let this go? That would be too shameful for our sect, wouldn't it? Will the Snow Mountain Sect still be able to travel the world? This is truly a disgrace."

Jiang Chaoyuan smiled and said, "Madam, how about we go and have a fight with Shi Tianyu? Or learn from Lin'er and the others and go to Fucheng to rob the dungeon at night?" He couldn't help laughing. He felt that Ren Jing was too naive. She became more adorable as she got older.

Ren Jing was very curious and said, "Then go and see how Shi Tianyu treats my uncle and the other landlords. If Shi Tianyu is unfair, I will not let him go."

"Okay!" Jiang Chaoyuan nodded in agreement, thinking it would be nice to take his disciples out to broaden their horizons.

Linghu Zhan also nodded.

Guo Xiaotian started to complain, saying, "Ah! I have to go to Fucheng again, isn't it annoying?"

Jiang Meilin spoke well of Shi Tianyu and said to Jiang Chaoyuan, "Dad, Fucheng is so beautiful now. It used to be shabby. When Shi Tianyu first became the prefect, he started to implement the policy of 'one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing', and he made Fucheng really beautiful. At the beginning of this year, Shi Tianyu proposed the policy of 'three policies of stone', which is to build 100 stone arch bridges in Yantai County and Pingting County to solve the problem of villagers' difficulty in walking. He also wanted to bring spring water into Fucheng and the county towns to solve the problem of drinking water for the people. Now, he is still returning the land to the people. In Fucheng, no one will fail to praise Shi Tianyu when they mention him. I didn't expect that Shi Tianyu, who is still like a child, could do so many good things."

Having said that, my heart was pounding again.

~~
Li Tianxiao looked at Jiang Meilin meaningfully, and suddenly felt sad. Huang Rucai said sarcastically, "Junior sister, don't forget that the dead stone demon is Wei Zhongxian's running dog. He was the first person to build a thousand-year-old temple in Sichuan."

Jiang Meilin then angrily rebuked Huang Rucai: "In this world, who among the officials dares not to build a Thousand Years Old Temple? Maybe Shi Tianyu was forced to do so? You are such a crooked monkey, always thinking the worst. Humph! You are such a piece of shit!"

Li Tianxiao and Huang Rucai were stunned.

Jiang Chaoyuan and his wife were also confused.

Linghu Zhan stared at Jiang Meilin in a daze.

Guo Xiaotian suddenly became depressed, with tears rolling down his eyes.

~~
Spring is back, everything is waking up, and everything is in bloom.

The flowers are pure and beautiful, with their beauty reflected in the clear yet hazy ochre color, and the clusters of stamens.

Fucheng.

After the reconstruction, the Shifu is filled with blooming flowers and the fragrance of birds singing.

Shi Tianyu got up early in the morning, squatted down, and gently stroked "Dudu"'s head.

Zhang Hui also leaned over to feed Dudu a bone.

Shi Tianyu said to Zhang Hui jokingly: "Hui'er, you are not angry today? Do you have food to eat?"

Zhang Hui turned her head away and said angrily, "Humph! I would cook for Dudu, but I would never cook for a heartless and ungrateful person like you."

She was still sulking, and was upset. She was still upset that Shi Tianyu refused to let her disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect go even though they came to plead for mercy. These days, she didn't sleep with Shi Tianyu, which benefited Helan Minyue and Batu Yinping.

At this time, Batu Yinping and Helan Minyue walked out of Shi Tianyu's bedroom, stretched their bodies, and felt that living in this newly built stone house was also very comfortable. The whole city was like a forest park, and the air was particularly fresh.
