Chapter 115: The Ghosts in the Ancient Castle and the Evil Spirits (Part II)
"Do you suspect that I am the murderer?"
The culprit squinted at the demon slave and stepped closer to him step by step.
The three nominees of the Feng family were about to draw their swords, but they were stopped by the demon slave.
"No, Emperor Song misunderstood.
If something happens to a guest in Yijingzhai, it is always necessary to conduct a routine investigation.
At that time, it is good to give an explanation to the young master of Snake Slashing Villa.
After all, in this Yijing Village, there are not many masters who can kill Tiannu with one sword.
The young owner asked if there was no confession from Emperor Song, I am afraid that it would be in vain.
If everyone speaks clearly, there will be a lot less trouble. β
"Hmph, you don't have to talk to me about those official words.
Man is not killed.
If the waste of Liu Chang's family has any opinions, let him face me himself.
I have not yet agreed to cooperate with you,
Yaksha King you do this, it doesn't seem like a good start. β
The demon slave stupidly withdrew from the culprit's room, flicked his sleeves with hatred, and then went to the courtyard where Liu Chengwu lived.
Still nothing was found at the scene.
Before the Assassin King, Tianzong had always been secretly developed by the leaders of various places.
The culprit Liu Shao was an important arrangement used by Tianzong to seek the southern kingdom forty years ago.
Although he was imprisoned for decades, he was once an emperor, and his hidden power was immeasurable.
Feng Demon Nu wanted to cooperate with him to integrate the largest faction of the Heavenly Sect, so he naturally didn't want to tear his face with him at this time, and he didn't even dare to directly stimulate him and say something heavy about inviting him out of the inner village.
After all, this madman, if he doesn't agree with each other, it's hard to imagine what crazy thing he will do.
As for the Snake Slashing Villa, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, not to mention that the real core character Liu Chang has never appeared.
The safety of the owner of the waste village must be taken care of, otherwise he will not invite the Buddha into the house, but will be burned.
He turned his head to look at Benzi,
"Brother Ben, the pattern of the castle tower is limited, and it is indeed a bit cramped to arrange so many distinguished guests to live.
Can Brother Ben find a more spacious place to live for the people of Snake Slashing Villa in Qichongzhai,
By the way, do your best to be the landlord and accompany them to garrison the Seven Villages? β
It's a big mouth,
"Hey, what a big deal, why did Brother Feng say it so politely.
Well, that's a good idea.
Although it was Liu Chang who rescued the culprit back then, he also imprisoned him for so long.
Who knows what kind of resentment will accumulate in the heart of that madman.
It's time to separate them, and keep them as far apart as possible.
The seven-fold village is not big enough,
There's a whole area there's empty in Wuchongzhai right now, how about I take them there to settle down? β
"Wuchongzhai? Will people be too mixed? β
"No, no.
Recently, the following group of people have been almost tried.
Most of the problematic ones have been cleaned up,
The rest of them are silent, how can there be anything?
Besides, I will bring more clansmen to guard over and tighten the access to Wuchong Village.
New faces are not allowed to cross the outer three villages. β
Although the Benzi people are rude, they are extremely steady, and the demon slave nodded again and again when he heard it,
"Okay, then do it according to Brother Ben's wishes,
If there is not enough manpower, you can call up the seal room together. β
"Well, I don't have to.
I've taken care of it. β
After the incident in Snake Slashing Villa, the trees fell and scattered, and there were not many sword slaves who chose to stay by Liu Chengwu's side.
The four fierce slaves are not in the pool, so they naturally take the opportunity to swim back to the rivers and lakes.
There are only Ding Si left, Ji Liu, and Geng Qi, Liu Wuying, who was greatly damaged by Qingyun's ability to shatter the meridians with the hands of the Blue Devil.
Now that Jiliu has been killed again, there is no real master around Liu Chengwu.
If it weren't for Lao Tzu's reputation and the former prestige of Snake Slashing Villa, he would have had no value at all.
So he has no right to resist the arrangement of sealing the demon slave,
In the shock and confusion after Ji Liu was killed, he was relocated to Wuchong Village along with a dozen sword slaves around him.
Yes, Benzi is also very satisfied with moving into Wuchongzhai,
Most of his energy during this period of time was focused on rescuing his beloved son is Ben Qing.
He didn't believe in the promise of sealing the demon slave,
The only thing he can believe in is himself.
During the Dazhai Tianpu, he was constrained by the two kings of Tianzong everywhere,
Once he arrives at Wuchongzhai, he is the king of heaven, Laozi, the outer three villages and the middle three villages, let him call, so comfortable.
It was Ben Qing who was sent out as a secret spy since he was a child.
In the past 20 years, father and son have gathered less and separated more, and they are in a hurry to see each other.
Sometimes it is Benzi who thinks about his son but suddenly can't remember his son's face, and suddenly burst into tears.
In the Jinan operation, Ben Qing was arrested by mistake, and the old father's guilt for his children surged in his heart over the years.
The son must not be fine, otherwise he will be so sorry for him.
No matter what the cost, he must come back alive!
"The person I wanted, how did you choose?"
It was Benzi who found Feng Gou, the person in charge of Wuchong Village, whose real name is Ben Gou's clan leader.
Feng Gou nodded and greeted him,
"I've found it, I've found it, but the patriarch wants to take a look?"
"Hmmm! I'm picky.
This time, there should not be too many people, and it needs to be reduced to less than ten people.
I've seen it myself. β
In a few moments, dozens of men and women were summoned into the hall.
It was Benzi who nodded and beckoned to everyone,
"Sign up in turn."
The white-clothed swordsman at the head of the team took two steps, holding his sword and saluting.
"The first sword in Xiaxiongnan, Nan Guo...... Uh~"
It was Benzi's big fist that came over,
The white-clothed swordsman was caught off guard, and a punch hit the door, blood flowed for a long time, and a few teeth were knocked out......
The white-clothed swordsman let out a soft snort, and was carried around by the fist wind, and collapsed to the ground with a pop.
"Whoa! What can be achieved with this kind of reaction speed! Next! β
Someone on the left and right dragged the unconscious white-clothed swordsman down.
The scarface man who was lined up behind the white-clothed swordsman saw this kind of battle, his legs kept shaking, and although he had heard the call of Benzi, he still didn't dare to take half a step.
It was Benzi who saw the sword eyebrows upside down and shouted,
"Someone! Knock him out for me! β
Several warriors from the Ben tribe surrounded the generals, and they couldn't help but say that it was a fist and kick.
beat the scar-faced man until he was silent, and then he threw him out of the door like a dead pig.
"Next, be serious!"
The sword flashed, and the third person actually shot directly!
The black-faced swordsman jumped high, his body spinning in the air at high speed, and the sword aura emitted made everyone in the room feel their skin tense and feel a dull pain.
"Feng's Secret Sword! Are you from the Feng family? β
When the young swordsman saw that Benzi recognized the sword, he stopped slashing it, took the momentum and put away the sword, turned over and landed, and his breath was still as steady as ever.
Everyone in the hall felt a lightness in their chests, and it seemed that their breathing had returned to smoothness.
"In Xia Feng Keng, I am willing to die for the adult."
It was Benzi who smiled and nodded,
"Good, good, good!
Strong, let's go and rest first.
Come here, arrange for a good student, and take him to pay a month's salary first.
Next! β
γγγγγ time to knock on the blackboardγγγγγ
In this chapter, the author rubbed the fairy spirit of the great god again. Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian's appearance was really unintentional. Because it is a historical fact that Sun Tengzu and his grandson went out of Beiliang, when they mentioned Beiliang, they couldn't help but think of Xu's father and son. What's more, the lip gloss of Tongxiaoda is also good, and Huyan Longda and Huan Dan are also famous generals in the history books.
Okay, let's get back to business. In the previous section, about Liu Bei's lineage, we went through it a little bit. We talked about Liu Sheng, the king of the Eastern Han Plain, and his heir Liu Yi pushed the Marquis of Linyi, followed by Liu Bei. In addition to the proofreading in geography, if we analyze Liu Bei's experience, we can actually see many unusual.
First of all, as we mentioned earlier, Liu Bei's "less" loneliness and poverty did not last long. When he was a student, he followed the best teacher of the Han Dynasty, the Chinese costume fighting eagle and walking the dog. Liu Bei's first official was the son of the Pingyuan Liu's cousin: Pingyuan Liu Ziping knew that he had martial arts, when Zhang Chun rebelled, Qingzhou was edicted, sent to engage in the generals, crossed the plain, Ziping recommended to be engaged, and then followed, encountered the thief in the wild, prepared for the death of Chuangyang, after the thief went, the person took the car to spare. Later, with military merits, he was the captain of Zhongshan Anxi. Liu Bei's first public position was that of Liu Ziping in Pingyuan, that is, an adjutant, and his starting point as an official was in Pingyuan! Liu Ziping is not very clear about his official position, but since he is involved in the thief, he should be a county commander or a county lieutenant (military attachΓ©). At this time, we can look back at Zhang Shiping, why did Su Shuang fund Liu Bei back then. Because they knew that Liu Bei was not in vain, he would definitely return to the plains to become an official, and it would be of great benefit to them to open up business routes in advance, which was an investment. If Liu Bei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, this does not make sense, but if he is the descendant of King Wai of the Plains, it is logical.
When Liu Bei was young, like Yuan Shao, he was the eldest brother of the rivers and lakes, and he recruited troops and horses when he got funding and stood on his own. So when he was an official, he also had a ruffian. When I was first in the plains, there were probably clansmen up and down, and I could cover up big and small things. But since he was tired of military exploits and moved to Anxi County to lead the county lieutenant, his violent temper was suddenly revealed. There is a superintendent postal officer, which is roughly equivalent to the officials of today's Commission for Discipline Inspection who came to the county. Liu Bei's request was refused, so he rushed into the official post in a rage, tied up the superintendent, and scolded him with a cane in broad daylight, almost killing someone. Of course, this matter is a serious crime, and Liu Bei has no choice but to abandon his official position and die. This paragraph is the prototype of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Zhang Fei pumping the post, in fact, in the official history, the real reckless person is this (Jianghu) big brother. is obviously a matter of Liu Bei's loss, but in the romance, it has become a positive image of fighting corrupt officials, this is the author's Spring and Autumn penmanship.
Later, Liu Bei rescued the officers and soldiers for meritorious service, and was named Xia Micheng, the county is called Cheng, and the country is called the prime minister, which is a civilian position under the county order, in Kong Rong's territory. Liu Bei naturally didn't want to be a civilian, so he abandoned his official position and returned to the plains to become a lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty. Gaotang belongs to Pingyuan County. At this time, Liu Bei's sworn friend Sun Zhan, who was a brother and sister to him when he was a student, helped him again, transferred him to Pingyuan County as the Pingyuan Order, and soon after, he was crowned as the Pingyuan (country) minister. Once again, the county is called Cheng, the country is called the minister, and the plain order is a direct jump to the plain phase.
Many people say that Liu Bei's starting point is low, where is it low? At that time, it was a county (country) county system, and the county guards were at the same level as the national ministers, and they were all officials at the prefectural and municipal levels. The county can be given to the prince, but the prince does not participate in the local management, and the minister of state is the actual manager. At that time, Liu Bei's starting point was at the same level as Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and Kong Rong of the Beihai phase. In the same year, Cao Cao had only just obtained the official position of Dongjun Taishou, and Yuan Shao had just squeezed out his boss as Bohai Taishou.
Liu Bei's starting point is not only not low, but also very high. Why? The county is also divided into large counties and small counties. Why is Yuan Shu so good, because he got Nanyang. Population statistics of Nanyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang County, 37 cities, 2,439,618 taxpayers, one county in the world. The numbers are not intuitive enough, we can compare.
Plains Country, nine cities, 12,658 people.
Beihai country, eighteen cities, eight hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred and four people.
Jibei Kingdom: Five cities, 235,897 people.
East County: Fifteen cities, 603,393 mouths.
Kong Rong and Bao Xin only have the strength of Liu Pingyuan, and Cao Cao's jurisdiction is only half of the population under Liu Bei's jurisdiction. Some people say that Cao Cao's family has money, and he keeps private soldiers. Isn't Liu Bei saving? Liu Bei may not lose to the Cao family when he doesn't climb the Mi family, let alone after he climbs. Cao Cao and Tao Qian went to war, Mi Zhu welcomed Liu Bei into Xuzhou, at this time Liu Bei had more than 1,000 private Youzhou elite horses, and recruited thousands of refugees, and Tao Qian gave him 4,000 Danyang soldiers, a contract of 10,000 people. What is the level of Danyang's combat power? Sun Ce started with only 500 Danyang soldiers, and Li Ling relied on 5,000 Danyang dead soldiers to crisscross Mobei. Therefore, at least half of Liu Bei's starting 10,000 people are elites with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Cao Cao started with a private placement of Xiangyong, and Sun Ce was 500 Danyang soldiers and 3,000 borrowed soldiers.
So why did Cao Cao and Sun Ce, including Yuan Shao, develop very well? Because they are all growing themselves in battle, and Liu Bei has been waiting for speculation to collect Tao Qian's inheritance and Liu Biao's inheritance, in terms of martial arts, this is really incomparable.
Finally, we will introduce Liu Bei's eldest brother Mi Zhu, an ancestral breeder, with 10,000 servants, and a huge amount of money, who is the richest man in Xuzhou. The Cao family is actually also from Xuzhou, and they are not ranked in Xuzhou. What is the concept of a huge family asset? Let's take Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang again, the two of them have accumulated a lot of money, and the official exchange rate of the Han Dynasty is 10,000 yuan, which means that these two people put together about 10 million levels, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the Mi family. Lu Su is a cow in Jiangdong, there are more than 100 customers, and the Mi family is two orders of magnitude smaller. Mi Zhu's dowry is 2,000 slaves, which is enough to humiliate Lu Su. The Mi family, who is so wealthy, why is he in a hurry to go to Liu Bei in the plains? Naturally, it's a business dealing. Mi Zhu's Mi, written in the history books, is written as elk, this is a Xia surname, governing Xuzhou Elk Country, in the Han Dynasty has been a family of landlords who have not fallen for thousands of years. Such a big family recruited the wrong son-in-law, and since then it has disappeared in history, which is a pity.
Therefore, Liu Bei's official trajectory before entering Xuzhou did not leave the plain, which confirmed the origin of his plain branch. He is not poor, and even rich to rival the country; Second, the starting point of the official is not low; Third, the starting soldiers are not weak; Fourth, there is also a good teacher, the master of scripture and learning, Lu Zhi, the ancestor of Fanyang Lu, one of China's top families, Kong Rong, Liu Biao, Xu Jing, these old scholars will sell Liu Bei's face because of this; Fifth, there is a good brother, Gongsun Zhan, a big family; Sixth, it is a true national relative. Such a one-handed king bomb, every day is said to be a weaving mat and selling shoes, relying on struggle to lay the world, as if Cao Cao, who was dismissed from office, Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine, and Sun Jian, a small and medium-sized official in the county, are all old people...... Then please think carefully about who this Zhaolie Emperor has won with real kung fu in addition to his own Liu Zhang? The answer is clear.
