Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 14 We Didn't Misunderstand
Misunderstand?

There is no misunderstanding between the Chu family and you.

Chu Wujiang still remembered that his uncle said that Governor Liu admired his cousin Chu Zhiyuan very much.

At the same time, Prefect Liu is from the civil official faction and is a man of the current Prime Minister Fang Yuan.

Fang Xiang was born in a poor family, and he looked down upon the noble families. He always wanted to take advantage of them, and once said a famous saying:

"To govern the world, one must be a scholar."

Of course, Fang Xiang also said something else, which he himself denied without confirmation, that is -

"Nobles can be trusted, and sows can climb trees."

One can imagine the Prime Minister's attitude towards the nobles.

Magistrate Liu is a lackey of the Prime Minister. He is considered an honest official and has good handling capabilities.

He was sent to Longzhou with the intention of weakening the nobles.

Because of their different positions, the two sides naturally do not get along.

So Chu Wujiang sneered:
"Prefect Liu, there is no misunderstanding here."

"Zhenhai Marquisate colluded with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and sent the Mother Ghost to assassinate Chu. Their methods were extremely despicable."

"And Magistrate Liu is guilty of negligence."

"Chu has reported this to the governor and the inspector-general, and asked them to investigate this matter."

You are not qualified to handle this matter.

Get out of here now.

However, Magistrate Liu was a dignified fourth-rank official of the imperial court, and he was not easily frightened. He immediately shouted:

"Master Chu, this is a serious matter, how can you make a rash conclusion?"

"Master Beiku can only prove that the Chu Mansion was attacked by the Kind Mother Ghost, but he cannot conclude that it was done by the Marquis of Zhenhai."

"Mr. Chu, you can't expand the case just for your own selfish desires!"

"The case is still unclear, please take back your order."

Magistrate Liu is not a fool.

His guilt in the attack by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was actually relatively small.

Because the imperial court had been carrying out a siege and suppressing campaign, they were not completely wiped out.

At most, he would be impeached by the censor and given a poor grade in the assessment.

His teacher was the prime minister, and at most he would be transferred to another place to become a prefect, which would only delay his work for two or three years.

But if the Chu family breaks up with the Zhenhai Marquisate, then the situation will become serious.

Unfortunately, Chu Wujiang didn't intend to give him face. He clapped his hands and sneered:
"well said."

"It's a pity that everyone can say these words except the prefect."

"Uncle Fu, bring up the information."

The old butler immediately handed over a stack of yellow paper.

Chu Wujiang's uncle Xiao Shouyi and the Chu family's own intelligence network are not pushovers either.

After the young marquis reminded that the mastermind might be the Zhenhai Marquisate, the intelligence machines of the two families began to operate at high speed.

Of course they are not gods and have not found any solid evidence.

Just found some scattered clues.

For example, Chu Zhiyuan bought a lot of precious fish for his mother to nourish her body.

These precious fish are good materials for alchemy, and the largest supplier in Longzhou is the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

For example, the prefect once wanted to marry his daughter to Chu Zhiyuan, but was rejected by Chu Zhiyuan, etc.

These clues were scattered, but when they were sorted out at this time, they all pointed to one result.

The Zhenhai Marquisate colluded with Chu Zhiyuan and wanted to wipe out the Chu family.

At the same time, Magistrate Liu was an accomplice.

In the previous life, this cannot be used as evidence.

The problem is that this world is not a society ruled by law that particularly values ​​evidence.

When Prefect Liu saw these materials, his hands trembled a little, and he immediately refuted:

"This has nothing to do with this case!"

"I am only selecting talents for the country out of my love for them!"

"Mr. Chu, you cannot slander a loyal and good person!"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"Prefect Liu, go explain these words to the Inspector General."

The Inspector-General, representing the imperial power, toured the country and collected evidence of officials' crimes.

If Prefect Liu was involved in this case, even the Marquis of Zhenhai would have to suffer a lot, let alone him.

Master Bei Ku of Da Bei Temple chanted the Buddha's name:
"Namo Amitabha."

"Donor Chu, please forgive others when you can."

"In my opinion, it is unlikely that Magistrate Liu will be involved in this case."

Because no matter success or failure, the person with the least motive to assassinate Chu Wujiang is Governor Liu.

The problem is that Chu Wujiang can't kill the Marquis of Zhenhai, but he can bite the prefect Liu to death and be buried with him.

That's the threat.

The court will definitely give him an explanation.

Prefect Liu looked at Master Beiku with tears of gratitude and quickly explained:
"Mr. Chu, I would never do such a thing."

If you have any request, just mark it down.

Chu Wujiang smiled.

This is what he wants.

"Master Sadness has a point."

"The Kind Mother Ghost needs something close to her body to evade the Chu family's strict defenses." "The existing evidence shows who the biggest suspect is."

"I don't think the prefect would understand."

Chu Wujiang will not take the initiative to deal with Chu Zhiyuan, but it is up to the prefect to handle it.

His goal is to capture the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

As for the other small shrimps, there is no need to do it yourself.

Prefect Liu gritted his teeth and agreed:
"I understand."

"Chu Zhiyuan is a major suspect!"

"The government will arrest him immediately."

well.

The martial arts examination is about to begin.

My cousin, don't get involved. Just stay in the government office and eat jail food.

Now that Chu Wujiang has made things bigger, he has been able to use little effort to block the power of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion and can now kill rabbits while taking advantage of the situation.

Chu Wujiang smiled:
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Prefect."

Prefect Liu had a gloomy face and quickly left the Chu Mansion.

After confirming that Chu Wujiang was indeed attacked by a ghost, the level of this case directly reached the level of Tongtian.

After all, whether in the past life or this life, the size of the case depends on who the victim is.

If a noble person is harmed, even a small theft will be a major case.

Master Bei Ku of the Great Compassion Temple was also anxious to go back, and he began to gather his fellow martial artists to wipe out the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect together.

Although the Wangui Sect did not succeed in killing Chu Wujiang, it really muddied the waters in Longcheng.

The old housekeeper looked at the figure of Governor Liu going away and couldn't help asking:

"Sir, if Magistrate Liu wants to arrest Chu Zhiyuan, I'm afraid he will destroy the evidence."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"I know."

"Prefect Liu is just pretending, he won't really convict Chu Zhiyuan."

"But this is enough. He should forget about taking the martial arts exam this year."

"The next step is to see whether Zhenhai Marquisate will cut ties with him."

"Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

Chu Wujiang took the information that his uncle had urgently compiled and could roughly guess why his cousin was so anxious.

He refused the prefect's invitation to marry his daughter.

The Marquis of Zhenhai has a legitimate daughter named Hong Yanling, who is on the list of young phoenixes and nicknamed "Pian Ruo Jinghong". It is said that the prince of the King of Donghai was pursuing her, but was rejected by her.

So to sum up, Chu Wujiang came up with a very traditional story.

The two of them were in love with each other, but their status was too different.

In order to make up for all this, the distant cousin chose to usurp the position of the Magpie's Nest and snatched the position of the Magistrate of Longcheng County for the Marquis of Zhenhai.

Now everything is clear.

It's really touching.

But what does this have to do with me, Chu Wujiang?
Now that the situation has been reversed, it depends on whether the Zhenhai Marquisate will abandon this white glove and declare that it has nothing to do with them.

Chu Wujiang smiled slightly:
"Uncle Fu, please receive other guests for me."

"Lord Zhongyong, Lord Shunyi and others, I will not see you anymore."

"I will spend the rest of the time in seclusion practicing."

He created a storm in Longcheng and hid himself in the eye of the storm to enjoy the rare tranquility.

The old butler quickly agreed:

"Yes, son."

"I have already called in the goalkeeper and the soul-chasing dog. Even if the mother ghost shows up, it will die on the spot."

Chu Wujiang nodded and walked into the practice room.

After a day or two of hard work, the elixirs from the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion have been confirmed to be safe, and it's time to take them and practice martial arts.

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath, took out the Qianyuan Pills, and swallowed them one by one.

As soon as the pill entered the mouth, it turned into a warm current and slid into the body along the throat.

This warm current spread throughout his body, and Chu Wujiang felt a gentle force flowing through his limbs and bones.

He felt his muscles trembling slightly and his bones seemed to be reforged.

Originally, it was impossible to finish eating these ninety-nine Qianyuan Pills in one go.

But Chu Wujiang was surprised to find that his body seemed to be able to accommodate more pills.

It is insatiable.

Could it be that [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss] has enhanced the body's potential, resulting in an increase in the amount of medicinal power that can be accommodated at one time?

Chu Wujiang was still thinking, his body began to emit a faint light, and even a new star was lit on the heavenly book.

[Body and Mind: Copper Skin and Iron Bones (Blue)]

Chu Wujiang actually relied on elixirs to create a new fortune.

This was originally a physique that a warrior needed to practice the "Iron Shirt" and spend nearly ten years of hard work to develop. Now, it was condensed directly into a pot of pills.

It really is worthy of being a body-building elixir produced by the Tiandao Sect. No wonder the young marquis feels as if his wife has been robbed.

Changes in body and mind can be brought about by more than just luck.

When you are in the body-building realm, you can crush your opponents by relying on your physical fitness.

Chu Wujiang felt delighted.

From outside the training room came the old butler's voice:
"Sir, the daughter of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, Hong Yanling, is here to visit."

People from Zhenhai Marquis Mansion actually dared to come.
