Chapter 22 Internal Strength
At eight o'clock in the morning, Longshan County Ya, South Street Hutong.
In the huge courtyard, the housekeeper Wang Fugui is directing the gatehouse to trim the courtyard trees.
At this moment, the door of the east wing opened, and Han Ze walked out of it.
The maid Peony, who was wiping the doors and windows, said happily: "Ah, master, are you done cultivating?" Are you hungry? I'll bring you breakfast. ”
Han Ze was in retreat the night before yesterday, and by this morning, it had been a day and two nights.
When Yueji heard the sound, she immediately rushed over and waited for Han Ze to wash up.
After all, Han Ze received an education in modern society, and he usually didn't have much of a fight, so the maids and cooks were not as restrained as other big families.
After washing, Han Ze asked Wang Fugui while eating breakfast: "Did anything happen in the city yesterday?" ”
Wang Fugui lowered his voice and said: "Back to my lord, the night before yesterday, there was a bizarre murder case in Lijiazhuang in the north of the city, a family of three committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well. But the old well dried up a few years ago. ”
When Han Ze heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He immediately thought that the fact that the shopkeeper of Dade Qian Bank, who had been mentioned by the members of the Gang before, drowned in his bed, and the two deaths were very similar.
Han Ze asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”
Wang Fugui nodded and said: "Yesterday afternoon, near the old temple in the south of the city, many people saw a woman in red holding an oil-paper umbrella. ”
"Why, it came out in broad daylight?" Han Ze scolded secretly, and then asked, "How is the Zhenwei Dart Bureau doing now?" ”
Wang Fugui said: "Now Yuan Sihai's sister Yuan Fang is the chief darthead. However, the business plummeted, and it was robbed by another Sihai dart game. By the way, the boss behind this Four Seas Dart Bureau is Song Defei, the brother-in-law of the county master. ”
"I seem to have heard of this Song Defei, I heard that it is very powerful?" Han Ze asked.
Wang Fugui said indignantly: "This Song Defei relies on the support of the county magistrate, and he is flying in Longshan County, and he has to participate in any business, such as green buildings, hotels, inns, cloth piles, tea houses, pawnshops, clock shops, money houses, etc...... If you don't give him a share, he will try his best to sabotage you. ”
Han Ze was surprised: "A small Longshan County, there is such an awesome character? ”
Wang Fugui knew that some "fresh" terms often appeared in his master's mouth, and he could roughly guess what it meant after many times.
"Yes, sir, this Song Defei is very awesome. However, in a small estimate, all this must have been Dai Kang's idea. ”
Dai Kang is the county magistrate of Longshan County.
Han Ze had heard his story.
In the ancient feudal society where "the imperial power is not lower than the county", the county commander is in charge of the military and political power of a county, which can be described as a general emperor of the soil, covering the sky with one hand and calling for wind and rain.
Of course, Dacang is different from the general ancient feudal society, there are warriors who fly to the sky, but one person breaks the army, and local martial arts families also abound, all of them are murderous guys who don't blink, which annoys them, and they can cut off the head of the county lord in minutes and kick it as a ball.
The county magistrate will definitely not be able to cover the sky with one hand.
However, Dai Kang can become the county magistrate of Longshan County, and naturally he also has his reliance, first of all, he himself is a master of quenching the double heaven, and in terms of skill, Huang Dapeng is slightly inferior.
Secondly, Dai Kang has raised many masters of the rivers and lakes, all of whom can be used as ten, and the tigers are also afraid of wolves, which is enough to suppress the martial arts families in Longshan County.
And it is said that Dai Kang still has a backer on the side of Fucheng, so although many people in Longshan County can't get used to him, they have never been able to kill him.
Wang Fugui said: "Master, don't you know, this Song Defei has always coveted Yuan Fang's beauty, and has asked people to go to Yuan's house several times to talk to the matchmaker, but Yuan Fang has knocked him out. ”
"So Song Defei became a shareholder of the Four Seas Dart Master, making money is one thing, and it is estimated that he also wants to say goodbye to Yuan Fang."
Han Ze nodded, "You go to the gym and find Jiang Yong." ”
"Hey, good sir."
"Wait a minute, come back."
"What's the matter, sir?" Wang Fugui asked suspiciously.
"Don't call me lord in the future, call me old." Han Ze didn't bother to let him change his words before, "I will be called Young Master in the future." ”
"Okay, I see, young master!"
Wang Fugui responded, turned around and trotted all the way to the martial arts hall, and soon came back with Jiang Yong.
"Brother Han." Jiang Yong shouted enthusiastically outside the door.
Although he hasn't known Han Ze for a long time, Jiang Yong has already regarded him as a confidant in his life and has nothing to talk about.
Even when he learned that Han Ze had not yet married a wife, he had to introduce his sister to him, but Han Ze refused on the grounds that he would not consider lifelong events for the time being.
However, Jiang Yong has never given up, and always mentions from time to time how gentle and beautiful his sister is, virtuous and generous.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you're here, please take a seat."
"Brother Han, do you have anything to do with me coming over?"
Two people have their own opinions.
After the maid served Jiang Yong tea, Han Ze smiled and said, "I came to Brother Jiang to ask you, where can I buy high-level internal strength and mental methods?" ”
Hearing Han Ze's words, Jiang Yong was not surprised, Han Ze had asked him before.
According to the degree of rarity, the internal strength method is divided into four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, the highest in heaven and the lowest in yellow, and each level is also divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
The different levels of internal strength and mental methods, the efficiency of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, the effect of refining the acupoints and viscera, and the cultivation of the divine soul are very different.
Like Huang Dapeng's practice of "Kunpeng Heart Method", it is a yellow-level middle grade.
Don't underestimate the yellow-level mid-grade internal strength method, this is almost the highest level of internal strength heart method that a martial artist with no door or sect can come into contact with.
Huang Dapeng also changed his name for this reason, his original name was Huang Dakun, and he changed it to Huang Dapeng, just to let people know that he practiced the internal strength of the yellow level.
Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes basically practice the inner strength of the big road goods that are not even in the grade.
Huang Dapeng easily agreed to teach Han Ze boxing, but he never mentioned the internal strength method.
This kind of thing is not unique to the earth.
In addition, secret techniques and secret medicines also have strict hierarchies.
"The yellow-level low-grade internal strength method, presumably Brother Han can't look down on it, as for the yellow-level middle-grade ...... To be honest, this is really hard to come by. ”
After a pause, Jiang Yong said: "I know that there is an underground auction in Longshan County, and occasionally there will be high-level internal strength methods for sale, but they need to be introduced by acquaintances. Brother Han, if you really want to try your luck, then I'll help you contact you. ”
Han Ze hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Senior Brother Jiang." ”
"What ...... be polite"
The two then chatted about the cultivation experience of Chasing the Wind Fist, and Jiang Yong left.
……
Jiang Yong is very efficient.
In the afternoon, Han Ze was taking a nap in the courtyard, and the two little maids next to him were holding a puff fan and took turns to help him fan the wind, so Jiang Yong came over happily and told him that he had been contacted.
He was lucky that an underground auction that was only held once a month, or even a few months, was caught up by him.
Han Ze immediately followed Jiang Yong and took a carriage to Dongcheng.
Longshan County is divided into inner and outer cities, Han Ze has been active in the inner city before, and it is the first time to come to the outer city after entering the city.
This side of Dongcheng is the road out of the city to Wulin Mansion, the water and land transportation is developed, and the trade is also extremely prosperous, and it is the place where the martial arts families and gangs in Longshan County must fight, so this land is mixed with dragons and snakes.
Han Ze sat in the carriage and saw the laborers on the big ship from a distance, carrying the goods shirtless.
The noisy docks, the huge merchant ships, the sparkling lake, and the mines on the horizon all seemed so unreal, but they made Han Ze feel a kind of excitement.
He has been active in the inner city, and it is the first time that he has seen the world clearly, and finally understands why Liu San said that Longshan County is an important border town in Dacang Kingdom.
Longshan County is much more prosperous than he imagined.
Jiang Yong took Han Ze around and around and came to the door of a rice village in the southeast of the city.
A young man in a long shirt at the door greeted him and shouted enthusiastically: "Senior Brother Jiang, you are here." ”
After Jiang Yong's introduction, I learned that this young man in a long shirt was the son of the shopkeeper of Mizhuang, named Lu Chun, who had previously learned boxing in the Huangjia Boxing Gym.
Under the leadership of Lu Chun, they came to a teahouse by the dock.
After waiting for a long time, a young man with a figure of eight came over, and after the joint, he took Han Ze and Jiang Yong on a small boat.
The small boats interspersed left and right between the countless huge merchant ships, and they wandered for a long time, and the people who circled could not distinguish between the east and the west.
Finally, they stopped by a large merchant ship.
The ship is three stories up and down, as tall as a building, with a sharp head and tail and crash guards on both sides.
The three of them climbed up the wooden spiral ladder that had been lowered.
A short and fat man in a gray robe greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Contemptible and Jin Sheng, welcome the two distinguished guests to the merchant ship Black Bee." ”
