Chapter Seventy-Four: News

The owner of Yunyin Village in Aoki Mountain ordered Song Heguang to go to Zixu Town and negotiate with Lu Jianping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The time limit set by the owner of the village is half a month.

Song Heguang stayed in Zixu Town for nearly a month, and he had already exceeded the deadline given by the owner of the village.

It stands to reason that the owner of the village should send someone to investigate the situation.

What surprised Lu Jianping was that the thieves of Aoki Mountain had not appeared for a long time, as if Lu Jianping's existence had been forgotten by the owner of the village.

In this regard, Lu Jianping felt very uneasy.

Lu Jianping practiced the [Dog Sword Technique], and after cultivating to break through to the second layer of the Heaven and Man Dual Realm, he immediately left Zixu Town and went to investigate the movements of Yunyin Village in person.

In order to prevent the people of Yunyin Village from learning the news, Lu Jianping did not notify anyone when he left.

Everyone mistakenly thought that Lu Jianping was still staying in the study to retreat and cultivate, even Deacon Liu was no exception.

Lu Jianping's first stop was Chenxu Town, which had a first-order spiritual field and was close to the Frozen Valley.

Chenxu Town is the most prosperous economy among the twelve towns of Xuyue Valley, and the wealth of Chenxu Town accounts for at least 30% of the overall Xuyue Valley.

The wealth of Chenxu Town has attracted the attention of Yunyin Village, and now, the owner of the village leads more than 20 monks to be stationed in Chenxu Town.

Lu Jianping didn't want to attract attention, so he changed into an ordinary farmer's dress.

Lu Jianping found an inconspicuous inn, and then sat in the corner near the window, quietly observing the other people in the inn.

"Eat, eat quickly, melon baby, don't waste these dishes, hurry up and eat!"

Next to the table closest to Lu Jianping, there was a family of three.

The man was dark and thin, his clothes were shabby, his skin was rough, and he was obviously exposed to the wind and sun on weekdays, and he was not well fed and clothed.

The man urged and slapped the little boy on the head with his big palm.

"I can cook these home-cooked dishes. If you buy vegetables and cook them at home, you can save at least half of the money, and this meal will be a big loss!"

The woman's face was pale and appeared to be chronically malnourished. Her palms are covered with calluses and she is clearly a regular farmer.

When the woman spoke, she looked at the dishes on the table with a distressed expression, and her tone was full of complaints.

On the table, there are a total of three plates of dishes, which are ordinary home-cooked dishes and are not worth a few dollars.

The couple looked at the dishes, but they were reluctant to move the chopsticks, it seemed that they planned to give all these dishes to the little boy.

"You are really a hillbilly who has never seen the world, and if you have long hair and short knowledge, it is specially made for you!" The man listened to the woman's complaint, and immediately became a little annoyed and angry, "In the past, I was a subordinate who had nothing, and I could only pick up the leftovers of the master's family to feed you. But now, the owner of the village gave us a family of three and divided 30 acres of fertile land. In the future, we will definitely get better and better, and one day, we will become rich people who do not have to worry about food and clothing. Three plates of side dishes are not worth mentioning at all, can you afford to show me a face for this little money?"

The man's tone was very polite, as if he was reprimanding the woman.

However, Lu Jianping could hear the meaning of annoyance and anger from his words.

Lu Jianping estimated that at this moment, the man had already regretted buying three plates of dishes.

At twice the cost price, he bought three-point dishes, which made the man feel that he had suffered a big loss.

The man's former identity was very humble, and he didn't dare to be angry with the inn, so he could only vent the sulkness in his heart on his wife.

Listening to the man's words, Lu Jianping's brows furrowed tightly.

Lu Jianping sensed the aura of conspiracy from the man's words.

"I'm in for this meal, and I ask your family of three not to refuse. Lu Jianping ignored the reaction of the family of three, sat down beside the little boy by himself, and then arched his hand at the man, "I heard that the owner of the village is a good person, so I went to the town to inquire about the news to confirm the truth." Brother, can you tell me what the owner of the village has done?"

Lu Jianping would rather believe that the sow gave birth to an elephant than that the owner of the village is a good person.

Not long ago, more than a dozen villages in Xuyue Valley were looted, thousands of people died, and thousands of people were plundered by bandits, which is enough to prove the cruelty and bloodshed of the village owner.

The owner of the village gave this man thirty acres of fertile land, which sounds incredible.

In order to let this man explain wholeheartedly, Lu Jianping took the initiative to show favor and pay for this family of three.

Listening to Lu Jianping's words, a warm smile immediately appeared on this man's face.

"The name of the benevolence and righteousness of the owner of the village is known to everyone in Chenxu Town, and you can know it with a little inquiry. The owner of the village distributed all the fertile land of the Li family to the people, and each of us was given ten acres. The owner of the village not only gave us the fertile land, but also was merciful and exempted from all taxes, and from now on, we no longer need to hand over grain, let alone serve forced labor. The owner of the village is definitely the most benevolent and virtuous person in the Tianxuan Continent!"

A hint of fanaticism appeared on the man's face, and he had obviously become a die-hard fan of the owner of the village.

When the woman and the boy heard the man's words, they all showed admiration, and it could be seen that they admired the owner of the village very much.

The others in the inn nodded in agreement after listening to the man's words.

Seeing this, Lu Jianping's brows furrowed even deeper.

Distributing the Li family's land to the common people is indeed a benevolent act, and no one dares to deny it.

If the abbot was a respected monk, Lu Jianping would definitely have a sense of admiration for this monk.

What made Lu Jianping feel incredible was that the host of this matter turned out to be the owner of Yunyin Village.

The owner of Yunyin Village is the leader of the bandits who have done a lot of evil, how could he do such a thing that is not beneficial to himself?

Just when Lu Jianping wanted to continue to ask, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the inn.

A dozen ornately dressed monks, with swords at their waists, and swaggering on their toes, were slowly passing through the streets.

Hundreds of people, crowded along the road, welcomed the monks with the highest zeal.

Judging from the direction of action of these monks, their destination was the Zhenbo Mansion in Chenxu Town.

"Smack!"

Lu Jianping took out a string of copper coins, slapped them on the table, and then walked towards the outside of the inn without looking back.

The measures of the village owner to divide the land and exempt him from taxes made Lu Jianping full of unease.

Lu Jianping felt that the owner of the village must have contained a terrible conspiracy in doing so.

Most of the people in Chenxu Town are honest farmers, their minds are not very smart, and they don't have much knowledge, so they are easily bewitched and deceived.

Asking these ordinary people for news is really asking for fish.

Lu Jianping decided to find an opportunity to ask the monks of Yunyin Village the truth of the matter.
