When she came to the Lin Mansion, her little cousin Lin Daiyu was wearing an emerald green robe and was boxing in the courtyard.

That's right, the little cousin who used to look sick can already fight vigorously as she has practiced martial arts for many days.

Seeing Song Xuan's arrival, the little cousin's face turned red, and she was a little embarrassed to put away her fists, put her hands on her waist and shouted cousin.

Song Xuan nodded with a smile, "Martial arts training is a persistent thing, and it's gratifying that you can have this persistence." ”

"Then cousin, how far have I practiced to be considered a master?"

"Master?"

Song Xuan didn't know what to think, his eyes looked in the yard, and finally pointed to a weeping willow in the corner.

The willow tree was at least a few decades old, and its trunk was as thick as a man, and its emerald green willow leaves swayed in the wind, looking full of life.

"See that willow tree?"

"Well, see, is there anything special about this willow tree?" Lin Daiyu asked with some curiosity.

"Go, pull it out!"

"Huh?" Lin Daiyu let out an exclamation with a small mouth, looked at the willow tree in disbelief, and then looked at her cousin, always feeling that her cousin's gentle smile was a little narrow.

"When you can uproot that weeping willow with just two hands, you will barely be a little master!"

"Reluctantly, little master?"

Lin Daiyu muttered twice in a daze, and then sighed a little dejectedly, "Then I'm still far from this goal." ”

"There's no hurry, there's still time! By the way, did my cousin go to the yamen or was he at home? ”

"Cousin has something to do with my father?"

Song Xuan's head.

"My father is in the study, and my cousin can just go over there. By the way, if you come here so early, you shouldn't have eaten yet, I'll go to the back kitchen and ask people to prepare more breakfast. ”

"Good!"

Song Xuan was not polite, nodded and walked towards Lin Ruhai's study.

He has been to this place a few times, but he is also very familiar with it, and through the corridor with the characteristics of Jiangnan water town, Song Xuan knocked lightly on the door outside the study.

"It's Song Xuan here, right?"

"Cousin"

Song Xuan pushed the door in, looked at the handsome middle-aged guy in front of him who was in a much better mental state, and said in surprise: "Uncle does my cousin know that I am coming?" ”

Lin Ruhai put down the books in his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that you raided the Jiang family last night, I guessed that you would come today, but I didn't expect to come so early, you didn't rest much last night, right?" ”

Song Xuan waved his hand, "When it comes to my cultivation, it's okay to not rest for a few nights." ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter from the Hu family from his sleeve robe and said, "Cousin, you know countless people, help me see, is this Hu Hai really taking refuge or is he deliberately misleading me?" ”

Lin Ruhai read the letter from beginning to end and said: "The content of his letter is very detailed, if it is true, it can be regarded as a complete statement of stand, and it does not look like a fraud."

When you can't see the truth of some things, and you don't know how to distinguish whether others are sincere, then don't look at his character, and analyze it directly from the perspective of interests.

Among these major families, the Hu family is the weakest one, and most of the businesses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not intervened.

Standing in line with the others, the Hu family could not reap any benefits, but had to bear the risk of rebellion.

But on your side, it is different, the other few have fallen, the Hu family will become the leading wealthy family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with little risk and big benefits, if you are the head of the Hu family, how will you choose? ”

Song Xuan pondered for a while, and a smile appeared on his face, "As soon as my cousin said this, I had the bottom in my heart." ”

Lin Ruhai pointed to the letterhead and said, "If what Hu Hai said is true, then next, the first thing you have to face is the congenital-level killer of Tsing Yi Lou, can you deal with it over there?"

If not, I still have someone available here, and ...... then"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Song Xuan shook his head and said, "Uncle don't worry about this, unless the Xiao family and others can invite a martial arts master, the other killers are all local chickens and dogs in my eyes."

If they really have the ability to invite a martial arts master, then even if they are planted this time, I will admit it. ”

Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard this, "It's not that exaggerated. What kind of existence is a martial arts master, even if I don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I also know that it is an existence that even the imperial court needs to be afraid of or even wooed.

In the entire Mingzhou, the known martial arts master is only the old immortal of Sanfeng Zhenren, if the eight major families of Yangzhou really have the ability to invite this real person, their sphere of influence has long been more than the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang! ”

Song Xuan also laughed, "To be honest, these big families are really decisive enough to do things, as soon as I made a move on my side, they began to hire killers on their side, and even began to plan mob turmoil."

Being able to entrench in the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for so many years does have something.

Speaking of which, I really didn't expect them to dare to be so unscrupulous! ”

Lin Ruhai bowed, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for three hundred years without falling, and it can only be maintained for so many years purely by the suppression of Taizu's almost invincible martial arts strength.

But there are pros and cons to this approach.

Taizu is here, and all conspiracies and tricks are jokes, but when Taizu is not there, all the contradictions that have been suppressed before will erupt.

The contradictions between the various strata of Shinong and industry, the contradictions between the localities and the imperial court, the contradictions between various ethnic groups, and the contradictions between the imperial court and the martial arts......

In fact, in the past three hundred years, these contradictions have long reached an extremely severe level, and they have never been resolved, and they are all suppressed by force by the Xuanyi Guard and the army established by Taizu. ”

Saying that, Lin Ruhai's expression became serious, "Taizu hasn't appeared in public for twenty years, and for such a long time, all parts of Kyushu have actually been ready to move for a long time.

On the side of Mingzhou, it is actually better, although it is difficult to collect taxes, but at least there is no one who dares to rebel openly, and the power is still in the hands of the imperial court.

As for other states, such as Yuanzhou and Tangzhou, the situation is very complicated, and the imperial court is about to lose control over there! ”

"The situation is already so dire?" Song Xuan's face became serious.

Although he stayed in the imperial capital all the year round, his previous position in Xuanyiwei was not high, and he really didn't know much about local information.

Lin Ruhai sighed, "The situation is difficult. Now Da Zhou Ming still maintains unity on his face, but basically he relies on the residual power of Taizu to deter the whole world.

If Taizu still doesn't show up in the future, the situation will only become more and more serious.

If the news of Taizu's death comes one day, it is estimated that it will be the day when the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall apart. ”

Song Xuan frowned, "Isn't my cousin too pessimistic?" Although the imperial court is very weak, it is still orthodox after all, and those armies composed of warriors and the masters of the Xuanyi Guard are not something that anyone can compete with! ”

Lin Ruhai smiled meaningfully, "The rebellion outside is not terrible, what you are afraid of is the army of warriors you mentioned and the masters inside the Xuanyi Guard."

Without the suppression of Taizu, human nature has never been able to stand the test! ”
