Chapter 398: Eight Days (II)
Huangquan, this is a very distant and familiar name, every Quanzhou person knows.
Feng Moxiu's two biggest exploits, one is to lead the Fengjiazhuang Township Brave Regiment, the predecessor of the Fengjia Army, in the last national war, to bravely kill the enemy and repeatedly make meritorious achievements all the way up, until the last decisive battle made great achievements and was awarded the Red Sword Marquis, and the other is to be ordered to exterminate Huangquan, which finally destroyed Huangquan after more than ten years.
Quanzhou people love to listen to this kind of drama the most, especially the section that invades the old nest of Huangquan, every year there are new compilations and new creations, one version after another has been staged until now, from old to young everyone can find their favorite version to be addicted, they like the story, but never thought that the drama is full of evil and more terrifying than the demon Huangquan will one day be involved with himself.
The commotion quickly subsided, and people waited eagerly for the person in front of them to continue reading, and as the content of the announcement continued to reach their ears, the crowd gradually became agitated again, discussing the content of the announcement with the people around them.
According to the government, the incident that night was a premeditated attack, and the culprit was the remnants of the Huangquan organization who were still on the run, and the mastermind of this incident was most likely one of the eighteen ghost guests of Huangquan, Qianzuke, and the target was Feng Zhiping, the son of the Sword Marquis, whose purpose was to kidnap or kill Feng Zhiping to take revenge on the Red Sword Marquis who single-handedly destroyed Huangquan.
Not only that, according to the results of the investigation over the past year, it was also Huang Quan who kidnapped Feng Zhiping on the eve of the wedding a year ago, and they wanted to blackmail the prince to order the Red Sword Marquis to achieve their unattainable criminal purpose.
And the turmoil on the night of eight days ago was another revenge of Huangquan Yusins, they wanted to repeat the old tricks, but unfortunately they didn't count the presence of Feng Zhiyou, the second lang of the Feng family, and there was also a famous young master on the rivers and lakes under the seat of Zen Master Xinhong of Songshan Temple, and the famous young master of the rivers and lakes, the two worked together to repel the enemy and protect the son of the world safe and sound.
The fugitive failed to escape, and was captured by the Red Sword Marquis who rushed to hear the news before leaving the city, and the thieves were arrested and resisted, and finally one was killed and one was injured, and the injured were confirmed by interrogation to be one of the seven personal disciples of the Thousand Foot Guest, which one has not yet been asked, and the wounded prisoner is still on trial, and he will be beheaded at a later date after the trial.
As for the lockdown, it is to clear the remnants.
The attack was well organized and well planned, and it was obviously not a day's work, and the city must have been mixed with the eyes of a large number of Huangquan remnants, monitoring the movements of Quanzhou City for a long time, from the Jianhou Mansion down, every important person and even every civilian is the object of their surveillance, and at the same time, it may become the object of their murder at any time.
In order for Quanzhou to develop stably and for the people to live in peace, the Marquis of Chijian and the prefect Kang Youdao urgently discussed and ordered the city to be closed that night, and the next day it was expanded to the entire territory of the blockade.
During this period, the Jianhou Mansion joined hands with the Quanzhou Prefecture Yamen and the Quanzhou Branch of the Tianting Prison directly under the tripartite to form an inspection team to strictly investigate and crack down on hidden suspects.
At the end of the announcement, the government offered a reward to encourage the masses to supervise and report, and those who looked and acted suspiciously could directly go to the nearest arrest to report the case, or report the case to the "Chaoyangtang", a temporary reporting department set up in the Yamen.
In order to avoid retaliation against the whistleblower, the government promises to properly handle confidential matters, of course, the whistleblower can also choose to disclose his identity, so that he can not only get a bounty, but also receive the government's honorary awards, the highest award is the Quanzhou prefect personally awarded the title of "Quanzhou Light", these honors are not just vanity, each of them will be registered, whether it is the imperial examination, business, property or agricultural and military endowments in the future, there will be different degrees of convenience.
For most people, the imperial examination and taxation are undoubtedly the most attractive, especially the former, two equally excellent scholars who can not only play on the spot, but also have connections, especially when it comes to the examination, sometimes the relationship is even more important than knowledge, you must know that the examiner's selfish thought is not only the three-year cold window of a certain lifter, but also the years of his life.
Therefore, those who can be officials are more or less nepotistic, close to their own families, cousins, and in-laws, and far away from them, such as master and apprentice, fellow disciples, and world friends, among which the most typical representative is Feng Zhiping's grandfather Sheng Zhong Zhangsheng, who is an official, his children and grandchildren are officials, and students are officials, and even the boudoir hired by the family is a female official in the original palace, it is no exaggeration to say that he still controls half of the court, and the prime minister who is the head of the civil officials has to pay three respects to him.
Because of him, over the years, there has been a strange and funny unspoken rule in the court - Feng Moxiu participates casually, and if he participates, he will be promoted to become rich; Mrs. Sheng and Xiao Shizi can only praise but not degrade, and whoever moves will die.
This is influence.
Under the premise of both prosperity and loss, the officials rely on each other for warmth, which to a large extent ensures the possibility of family continuity and the fate of future children and grandchildren.
Among all kinds of relationships, money transactions are undoubtedly the most inferior and unreliable one, but it is the simplest and most effective one, especially for the majority of poor students, they have no way to integrate into these circles from a mediocre background, and they want to stand on the same starting line with others In addition to luck, they can only use money as a stepping stone.
As a result, most of the talented and able to put down their bodies are on the list, and the talented but clear and high often become poets who are attached to the landscape, and the two cannot say who is right and who is wrong, but can only say that the road is facing the sky, and each chooses one side.
This phenomenon is undoubtedly intolerable to the imperial court, so the crackdown on fraud in the scientific examination over the years is extremely severe, but you have a ghost head knife I have a little trick, the volume seal has more than a line of blank, the sealing line is two millimeters wider, and even the font, lack of pen, the volume seems to be written wrong and rewritten in a few places, fraud can never be eliminated, candidates can only reluctantly continue to repeat the old way of their predecessors, as much as possible before the test into a certain circle, show a big face, let people remember themselves, like themselves, help themselves.
Therefore, the power of the word "convenience" on the announcement can be imagined, and this may be the first and only official letter of "support" issued by the government throughout the ages.
The most speechless thing is that you haven't reported him yet, people only say convenience, not how to be convenient, even if you go to sue people, they will say that you have bad intentions and are cranky, and the three big seals on the payment are even more out of the minds of all the reporters.
Three seals, an official seal of the prefect, a seal of the Marquis of Red Sword, and the last one is the great seal of the Heavenly Hearing Supervisor!
Who would dare to report it?
The Celestial Auditor invites you to spend the night.
Even if there is no seal of the Heavenly Hearing Supervisor, the seal of the Marquis of the Red Sword is enough alone.
You must know that the Marquis of Red Sword has three seals, a private seal, an official seal, and a knight seal, and his knight seal has a more well-known name - Tiger Fu.
There are only six people in the world who use the tiger charm as the seal, and the other five are all military marquis, the most famous of which is the only surviving Wang Zhan Wang who has the merit of founding the country and auxiliary luck, and the remaining four are the four generals who guard the south, northwest and the hinterland of the capital, each of which is hereditary and reckless for the millennium, but Feng Mo Xiu is the marquis, and his background is ordinary, and he has only been established for more than 30 years, but he has the same honor and power as those in front of him.

With the tiger talisman as the seal, it represents glory and power, as well as the emperor's deep trust in them.
So when I saw this seal, many of the people who recognized it were excited, and there were many people who knew the Tiger Fu Jue Seal, and there were few people who had seen it, as for whether this seal could be taken out and covered casually, no one cared, and it was not the first time that the Sword Marquis acted unexpectedly, he was happy, and people cared more about the meaning of this seal.
The baby son was assassinated twice, and the Red Sword Marquis was really annoyed, and he brought out the Feng family army and pulled him to the sky to listen to the prison and swore to fight Huang Quan to the end, and the terrifying energy that these two parties could explode together no one could imagine, let alone dare to touch it.
This is the idea of ordinary people, the eyeliner left by the various intelligence networks is mixed in the crowd, and after seeing these two seals, their hearts trembled, and they understood that this is not for the people of Huangquan, but for their own people, Quanzhou This place can't stay for the time being, when will the sword marquis's anger disappear and come back.
And those rich businessmen who died in the family breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Hou Ye was going to destroy them and replace them, but they dared to do it, and the people they killed were all meticulous, no wonder they were so grandiose.
One of the most excited was the rich merchant who died of the concubine, who was originally angry and sad, but today he listened to the housekeeper repeat the content of the announcement, and he was in a cold sweat at that time, and he rushed to the scene panting to take a look.
The woman who has slept with herself for half a year is actually the famous Huangquan remnant, who is not afraid?
Why, no wonder you are so good at serving people, and you dare to be specially trained!
My yellow-faced woman is really right, what a goblin!
It's bad, this goblin won't practice any evil methods, take Lao Tzu to pick yang and supplement yin, right?
The fat rich businessman's face turned pale, and he left in a hurry with the housekeeper, and in the following years, a certain medical hall in the city had more frequent customers, and several pharmacies each had a large amount of long-term transactions, which made Quanzhou have one more project on the original commercial basis, and became a famous rare medicinal materials distribution center in Changping County.
As for the others, after reading the announcement, they were all relieved, and many doubts were solved, and many interesting stories were derived.
First of all, there was no civil strife in the Feng family, the son did not fight, and the brothers were in harmony, so the books and dramas were greatly changed, and Feng Zhiyou's image of being cold and dark became bright, and he became a warm brother who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, according to the investigation of the good deeds, Feng Zhiyou surpassed his brother Feng Zhili in one fell swoop in just a few days, and became the most wanted candidate for Quanzhou women, which also included a large number of Jianghu women, whose popularity from Quanzhou City all the way out of Quanzhou boundary, went straight to all parts of Changping County, and spread to the capital at an alarming speed.
Secondly, the monks of Songshan Temple are really powerful, Wen can recite scriptures to guide people to goodness, martial arts can eliminate thieves and punish adultery and eliminate evil, it is really a monk who is both civil and military, and it is much more useful than those monks who can only play tricks, so the temples with warrior monks in Changping County have pilgrims skyrocketed, and the Songshan Temple thousands of miles away is not only crowded, but also inexplicably received a lot of anonymous huge donations, so that the monk who manages the money is happy and worried, only after inquiring about what happened, crying and laughing to go to Xinhong Zen Master to report the situation.
A few days later, the happy and sad person turned into a grudge, originally this incident made his reputation on the rivers and lakes a lot better, which made him very happy, but a handwritten letter from his teacher made him fall into the bitter water.
Feng Zhiping was curious, and after getting permission, he took it over and looked at it, almost dying of laughter.
The letter was very long, thousands of words long, and Zen Master Xinhong first praised the "bad disciples" in a short and obscure ancient style Ignoring the righteous act of life and death, it adds up to less than 30 words, and the rest is a straightforward rebuke in addition to the payment, saying that the grudge should not be like a mouse who falls into the eyes of money to collect money everywhere, saying that the fate is not his kind of transformation, which damages the morality of Taoism, saying that he should not live in the Hou Mansion for a long time and not go to the greedy red dust, and the most important thing is that he should not take the business in the name of exorcism.
Therefore, after studying in the Qian Temple, it was decided to leave only a small part for daily needs, and the rest was used to help the poor people, donate the school to distribute good porridge, and resolve the bad karma on their bodies with various good deeds.
In the end, Xinhong scolded the people who should not provoke the Falling Moon Temple, and the people who lost their own people and threw him as a master also made the whole temple lose face, threatening him to remove him if he did not repent again, let him immediately find a temple to repent sincerely, the smaller and more dilapidated temple, the better, the best is a deserted temple in the deep mountains and old forests, and suffer his body and discipline his behavior.
Feng Zhiping understood this paragraph, Xinhong's words were harsh, but he didn't want to discipline him at all, his main purpose was to inform the resentment that Luoyueguan knew that he was still alive and organized a group of people to come out, and he was currently rushing to Quanzhou, so that the resentment could hurry up and run, find a deserted village and hide in a wild place, don't be tough.
Feng Zhiping was speechless, Zen Master Xinhong, who has always been known for not smiling, was so humorous?
Isn't faith fake?
I didn't explain much, and after I got the letter back, I only said one sentence: "Master said that everything is practice." ”
Feng Zhiping was completely speechless, and he didn't know that Zen Master Xinhong was like this, or he lured the wolf into the room and blackened it.
In the end, the resentment did not leave, in his words: "The entire Changping County is not as safe as here, and the little monks don't believe that they dare to come in!"
Feng Zhiping thought so, and it was very funny, looking at the monk's posture was to make up his mind to stay in the house and not go out, although there was not much of his mouth in the house, but it was a bit embarrassing to always hide and not go out, but the monk himself didn't mind, he naturally had nothing to say, patted his chest and said that he wanted to live as long as he wanted, and took the opportunity to be vulgar.
Resentful, Feng Zhiping is the same, more worried than him.
The monk wanted to hide, at least there was a place to hide, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.
The reason is because of a woman, this woman is none other than the "demon girl" of the Empty Xuanguo who played the piano on the six-story platform of the drunken Jinlou that night, and her name is Jing Wuxin.
