Chapter 59: Harvest and Reward
Bell House.
The family members of the Zhong Mansion who gathered in the outer courtyard and waited nervously were relieved to see Zhong Yan return intact.
On the ground next to her, Zhang Hongmei, the concubine of Xue Mansion, fell on her side, blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth, her beautiful face was high and swollen, and clear five finger prints appeared on both sides.
But when he left the city, he was caught by Shi Lingzhen, who was guarding the only gap in the west gate.
Zhong Yan glanced at Shi Lingzhen and bowed his hand to Shi Lingzhen, "Thank you Shi Daoyou." ”
Shi Lingzhen nodded lightly, disapproving, and didn't know if she was jealous that Zhang Hongmei looked better than her, so she deliberately slapped her face like this.
"I showed you the way, but you didn't grasp it."
Zhong Yan said a word, waved his hand, and Yan Sandao, who had returned, lifted the person up and went to the backyard.
Zhang Hongmei is a native of Qingyang City, in her early thirties, she was born in martial arts, she was able to write and martial arts, and she was forced to marry Xue Shanhu in desperation, so she couldn't talk about any diehards.
If she leaves the Xue Mansion to join Li Shangwen, it is not impossible to spare her life, and she will stay in the Li Mansion as a good helper in the future.
Since you choose to stay away, it is better to disappear completely.
Dongcao stepped forward and handed over a stack of silver tickets.
"Husband, these 30,000 taels of silver tickets and two land deeds were sent by the disciples of the Xue Mansion, saying that Guo Qingxue sent them to apologize...... The person has been killed by Madame Yang. ”
Zhong Yan bowed his head and waved his hand to invite Huo Donglai and the three of them into the main hall to set up a wine and feast.
At three o'clock, the city gate was unsealed, and the 'Qi State Attack' was a false alarm.
At noon, the destruction of the Xue Mansion spread throughout the city, and the city was in an uproar.
The prestige of the 'Lower Mountain Tiger' was gone, and it was replaced by the 'Fierce Ape' of Zhongfu.
When the news reached the Feixian Pavilion in Fang City, Ruoyun's heart fell on the big stone, his beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and he was laughed and teased by Narcissus - look at you like that, now you are satisfied, it is estimated that you will come to celebrate with you on the couch in a few days."
In the evening of the same day, Ma Zhida, who was on leave, hurried back to Fang City.
Huo Donglai, who took over a nearby task, walked with Shi Lingzhen.
Before leaving, Zhong Yan invited Huo Donglai to the cultivation room and asked if he knew the purpose of Song Yunhui, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, who came to Qingyang.
"Why is Big Brother asking this?" Huo Donglai's face changed on the spot.
Zhong Yan's heart moved, and he roughly talked about Song Yunhui's escort back to the city by the way.
"I'm just curious, I didn't expect Dongfang Tuo to come out of the customs together, is there anything big in it?"
Huo Donglai nodded, thought for a while and reminded: "It is indeed a big deal, the news has spread in the sect, more than a year ago, there was an inner disciple named Xu Ding'an, I don't know where to find a heavenly spirit root, but he didn't bring it back to the sect, that Xu Ding'an also soul card shattered and died......"
After hearing the details, Zhong Yan was powerless to complain in his heart, it was really better to count people than to calculate the sky.
Xu Dingan was afraid that people would take credit halfway, so he really didn't send the message back to the sect, so he couldn't trace the clues at that time.
But this guy sent a letter to his hometown, and the letter mentioned that he had picked up a Tianling root, and he wanted to use this to bring the little sister of the five spirit roots in the family into the Huoyun Sect.
As a result, last month, Xu Ding'an's friend of the same sect was free and sent his relics to his hometown, learned of the existence of Tianlinggen, and reported to the sect.
"The sect attaches great importance to this matter, and it will definitely find out, not only Elder Song is here, but there is also another elder who took the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall to check from Wangqi City, and is bound to find this Heavenly Spirit Root ......"
Saying that, Huo Donglai stared at Zhong Yan, and couldn't help but ask nervously, "Big brother, this matter won't have anything to do with you, right?" ”
Zhong Yan looked at each other calmly, "What's the use of asking for a Heavenly Spirit Root?" I can't give it away in exchange for benefits. ”
After a pause, he added: "The Hu Cong mage who came to Qingyang to serve before was intercepted and killed, and I participated in it, I thought Song Yunhui was here for this matter. ”
Huo Dong came, "That's okay, Master Hu, if you want to investigate, it's also the capital, and the disciples with a hard relationship won't come to a small place like Qingyang, and they won't be able to ...... the Law Enforcement Palace."
Sending the three of them out of the city, on the way back, Zhong Yan carefully scrutinized it several times, and determined that the probability of involving him was extremely small, so he didn't pay attention to it.
When I arrived at the house, I entered the study, and my wife Jiang Ping was accompanied by Xiaohuan and handed over a cloth bag.
"Husband, Immortal Master Huo asked the concubine to be handed over to you."
Zhong Yan's consciousness swept away, opened it, shook his head and smiled.
He gave three hundred spirit stones as a reward for coming to Qingyang to help this time, but Huo Donglai changed hands and returned them to Jiang Ping, and kept fifty more, as well as two bottles of Qi Condensing Pill and Qi Gathering Pill.
Evening.
I haven't seen each other for many days, and Zhong Yan and Yan Sandao, who are very affectionate, have fought in the cultivation room repeatedly, and they are not happy.
[Ding~ You and your concubine work hard to double cultivate once, and gain +10 for exercise perception, +30 for rune experience, and +10 for cultivation progress]
[Ding~ You and your concubine work hard to double cultivate once, and gain +10 for exercise perception, +30 for rune experience, and +10 for cultivation progress]
……
Five days later.
Li Shangwen, Zhong Xiaozhong and others completed the huge Xue Mansion and cleaned it up.
Gold and silver plus silver tickets, more than six million taels, for the huge Xue Mansion, this amount of cash is small, and the Xue family's family property is more of a business industry inside and outside the city, which was taken away and divided by the Cao Yun Gang and the Ten Thousand Hall.
There are also a large number of jewelry, calligraphy and painting collections, divine blades, precious medicinal materials, land deeds, etc., the value is incalculable.
Among them, the title deed contains Xue's mansion, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, and this house without the formation is built by Xue's mansion itself, and you only need to go to the city lord's mansion for the record to have ownership.
However, these are mortal things.
For Zhong Yan, it was barely the icing on the cake for the intangible benefits brought by the eradication of the Xue Mansion.
And then there's the things found in the various secret rooms.
There are several drawings for the manufacture of mortal weapons.
The secret information of each family in the city, three chests!
There are the city lord's mansion and various important figures in the army, such as Qin Ben's background background, martial arts combat power analysis, and so on.
There is also a concubine of a certain family who gave birth to the heir of a servant in the house.
There are also those of the Xiuxian family, and some things about some people in the Yang Mansion, the Li Mansion, and the Bai Mansion.
Zhong Yan even found his own, but it was relatively simple, only recording basic information such as realm and talisman, obviously he had not been here for a long time, and he had not yet investigated it in depth.
These materials, in Zhong Yan's eyes, are countless times more important than silver coins.
Furthermore.
There are two hundred and twenty-one spirit stones under the grade.
One hundred and thirty-one special talismans used by mortals.
There are hundreds of low-grade pills such as Qi Condensing Pill and Detoxification Pill.
Xue Shanhu killed the monk, but he didn't have a magic weapon, so he probably sold it.
The resources used by these cultivators, the entire family combined, are not as good as the family background of a loose cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining, and it is better than nothing.
There are as many as forty-six kinds of martial arts cheats, but many of them are remnants, and there are only nine truly complete exercises, including the "Tiger Divine Skill" learned by Xue Shanhu.
There is also a mortal double cultivation method called "The Art in the Room", and when he compares it secretly, Zhong Yan feels that it should be much more clever than the so-called 'Imperial Court Secret Book' bought from Fang Market - "The Imperial Maiden's Heart is Frightened".
……
The lights are on.
The hall of the 10th courtyard of Zhongfu.
The Zhong and Li families were smiling and talking in low voices.
Zhong Yangao sat down, raised his hand to signal quiet, and spoke up.
"If you're not careful, you'll lose everything."
"If you lose, not only will the Zhong Mansion be ruined, but you will also be affected by others."
"This matter started because of Yan Sandao, you went to sea to take the first credit, but it was difficult to overcome, there is no reward, I will ask you to open and operate a martial arts gym in the West District tomorrow and make achievements."
Yan Sandao came out to bow down, "Thank you for the grace of the old man, take the risk to save the concubine's life, the concubine will definitely remember the lesson, learn from the pain, and complete the task assigned by the master." ”
Zhong Yan waved his hand and looked at the woman in the blue dress under the hall, and couldn't help but secretly praise her posture in her heart, her beauty and figure were impeccable.
In order to prevent the 'Heavenly Spirit Root' from having the slightest problem in the future, Li Henian can be said to have invested a lot of money and spent a lot of money to buy it from Wangqi City.
"Yunning's sister-in-law helped each other to go to sea together, both of them are the first merits, Xue Fu Gongfa is up to you to choose, and you will be paid another one million taels, if you have other requirements, you can mention it now."
It's too much, and it's just a boat trip to the sea...... Zhou Yunning blinked, Ying Ying bowed, and her red lips opened lightly: "The Zhong and Li families are good friends, and the concubine should do her best, and she doesn't dare to take credit." ”
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Go back to the winter grass collar, and the brothers who are traveling with you can't be busy in vain." ”
Zhou Yunning glanced at Li Yang's family, bowed and said, "The concubine has thanked the uncle for all the brothers!" ”
Zhong Yan looked at Li Shangwen again, "What about you, you performed well this time, what do you want?" ”
Li Shangwen's face was excited, and he hugged his fists and said: "My nephew just hopes to learn more by his uncle's side!" ”
Zhong Yan: "Then you also copied an exercise, and then received 5,000 taels of silver to pay off the gambling debts." ”
Li Shangwen was stunned: "......"
I'll just be polite, how can I treat it differently? The gap is too big!
Zhong Yan laughed, "Why do you want so much money, take the martial arts realm up well." ”
Li Shangwen turned into a bitter gourd face, "Yes, my nephew thanked my uncle!" ”
Li Qiu, who was on the side, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile when he saw his son's expression.
Zhong Yan looked at Li Yang and didn't speak yet.
Li Yang smiled and said: "Uncle, don't say anything about remuneration, the Li Mansion is just running errands, Yunning has already received such a generous gift, if you take it again, my lord will not be able to scold me and other women for being ignorant!" I'm here to congratulate my uncle and ask for a glass of wine by the way! ”
"But it also took risks."
Zhong Yan said a word, and Chao Dongcao directly ordered: "Dongcao, you will give the two courtyards in the North District and the fertile fields in Baigang Village to the Li Mansion. ”
"Yes, sir."
Li Yang sighed, smiled and bowed in thanks, "Thank you, uncle." ”
"Xiaozhong, tomorrow you will send the weapon manufacturing drawings to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yes, sir."
"Xiaohuan, everyone is frightened this time, everyone in the house will receive a reward of three hundred taels, and the monthly money will be doubled in the future."
"Yes, thank you, sir!"
……
A banquet, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and it was not until the end of the day that the Li Mansion and the others left.
Solving a trouble, there is a certain foundation in Qingyang City, Zhong Yan is also in a good mood, and he can't help but get erect late at night, and there is a seven-person party, and the six concubines go into battle.
Jiang Ping, who was pregnant, wanted to talk to Dongcao, but learned from the little mussel guarding the door that many sisters were inside, and muttered to herself: Can the husband afford it?
"Xiaohuan, make a hundred treasure blood pigeon soup for the master tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiaohuan carefully supported the housemother, blinked and asked, "Madam, are you jealous?" ”
Jiang Ping glared at her and laughed angrily: "What kind of vinegar do I eat!" If I wasn't pregnant, I would have been in line first. ”
Xiaohuan covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes!" The lord loves you the most, Mrs. ”
