Chapter 66 deals with the affairs of the Wang family
Zhang Zhenzhong was a little panicked in his heart, wouldn't this kid's talent in martial arts really be so powerful. If Hanlin finds out about you, no, you must not let him know.
"Master, you can show Hanlin. Yin Tianxing said.
Yin Qingyun came to Zhang Hanlin's side, put his right hand on Zhang Hanlin's wrist, punched a wisp of true qi into Zhang Hanlin's body through his two fingers, and then ran towards Zhang Hanlin's dantian.
The true qi of the new birth in Zhang Hanlin's dantian was constantly boiling, as if he had sensed the true qi from outside, and he was restless.
Yin Qingyun was shocked, and Zhang Zhenzhong asked, "What's wrong?"
Yin Qingyun said with a smile: "Oh, it's nothing, Hanlin has indeed cultivated his true qi, and it is very stable, not like he just cultivated it last night." That's why I'm a little confused. ”
Bai Lingxuan's beautiful eyes flashed, as if she remembered something, could it be the effect of the Seven Star Jade?
Sure, I'll tell Brother Hanlin about it later.
Zhang Tianhong laughed and said: "It is worthy of my Zhang Tianhong's grandson, not only is his medical talent outstanding, but even his martial arts talent is so outstanding." ”
Zhang Hanlin said a little bitterly: "Grandpa, you forgot, that Fu Chenzi senior of the Huangchen Sect once evaluated me as a low qualification. ”
"Ahem, ahem. Zhang Zhenzhong coughed violently.
Zhang Hanlin asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you." ”
"Oh, it's okay, Hanlin, it's very good that you can cultivate your true qi so quickly, since you have already started practicing martial arts, then be diligent, don't give up halfway, you know?" Zhang Zhenzhong's expression suddenly became serious.
Zhang Hanlin muttered, doesn't his father usually let him practice martial arts, and when he mentions this matter, he has a straight face, why is he so enthusiastic today.
But he replied, "Got it, father." ”
"Well, then you can go about your own business. ”
"Oh, then I'll go first. Then Zhang Hanlin took Bai Lingxuan and left.
As soon as Zhang Hanlin left, Zhang Zhenzhong and several people present repeatedly emphasized that they must not tell Zhang Hanlin about the events of that year.
Yin Tianxing said: "Uncle, don't worry, I definitely won't say it." ”
Yin Qingyun waved his hand and said, "After so many years, you know what kind of character I have." ”
Zhang Tianhong snorted coldly and did not speak.
Zhang Zhenzhong really didn't dare to ask his father to hide the matter, so he could only pray secretly.
Zhang Hanlin and Bai Lingxuan were about to go to Baifu, and on the way, Bai Lingxuan told Zhang Hanlin about the Seven Star Jade.
Zhang Hanlin was shocked in his heart and said, "You said that this seven-star jade has the effect of purifying true qi?"
Bai Lingxuan nodded and said affirmatively: "Well, this is what my father said personally, and I tried it myself last night, and it really worked." ”
Zhang Hanlin took out the seven-star jade on his neck, looked at it carefully, and thought in his heart, the seven-star jade was chiseled from a meteorite outside the sky, how could it have such an anti-heaven effect!
Bai Lingxuan said again: "Brother Hanlin, you wore the Seven Star Jade when you practiced last night, right?"
"Yes. ”
"That's right, like when I condensed the true qi at that time, the true qi in my body continued to collapse, and it took many days of polishing before it slowly stabilized. Just now, Uncle Yin said that the true qi in your body is already stable, not like the true qi that has just been condensed, I guess this should be the effect of the Seven Star Jade. ”
"Makes sense!" Zhang Hanlin kept nodding, no wonder after meditating on the true qi yesterday, the condensation process was so smooth, without the slightest hindrance, it turned out to be like this.
Zhang Hanlin was a little frustrated again, just now everyone learned that Zhang Hanlin had condensed his true qi overnight, and they were shocked, especially Zhang Tianhong said that Zhang Hanlin was extremely talented, Zhang Hanlin himself was still a little happy, thinking about whether he really had some talent in martial arts?
After all, Fu Chenzi's evaluation made Zhang Hanlin very frustrated.
But Bai Lingxuan told Zhang Hanlin the secret of the seven-star jade, and Zhang Hanlin 'understood' that it was not his outstanding talent, but the efficacy of the seven-star jade.
With such a cultivation weapon against the sky, Zhang Hanlin should have been extremely excited, but he couldn't be happy.
With a heavy heart, Zhang Hanlin and Bai Lingxuan came to the City Lord's Mansion.
The two asked the guards, knowing that Bai Shen was now in the mansion, and without the slightest stop, the two rushed straight to the main hall.
"Dad, I'm back. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Bai Shen sitting on the main seat, looking at a booklet, Bai Lingxuan shouted loudly.
"Keep your voice down, why are you shouting so loudly. ”
Bai Shen put down the booklet. looked up and found that it was Zhang Hanlin and Bai Lingxuan, Bai Shen said: "Hanlin, come on, sit down, there is something related to you." ”
Zhang Hanlin and Bai Lingxuan sat down, and Zhang Hanlin asked curiously, "What is it related to me?"
Bai Shen handed the booklet in his hand to Zhang Hanlin, Zhang Hanlin picked up the booklet and looked at it, and Bai Lingxuan also squeezed his head over to read it together.
The more Zhang Hanlin looked at it, the more frightened he became, looked at Bai Shen, and said in shock: "The Wang family, a third-rate small family, is actually greedy for millions of silver!"
Bai Lingxuan also opened her mouth wide, this is too hateful.
Wang Tiansheng is a martial arts five realms, and his family can only be regarded as a low-end family, and he has saved so much money in managing the Black Rock Market over the years!
Bai Shen said: "That's right, these are just the silver and silver tickets intercepted, and there are many valuables, which have not been counted." ”
Bai Shen's face showed shame, and he said in a low voice: "I have been in a high position for so many years, and there are people under my nose who are preying on the people, this time I should really rectify the laws and regulations of Dongsheng City." ”
"It really should be rectified, otherwise, if it continues for a long time, Dongsheng City will collapse sooner or later. By the way, Uncle Bai, you said that this matter has something to do with me?"
Bai Shen said: "That's the case, in the past two days, I asked the secret guard to review the people of the Wang family who were arrested, and then sent the secret guard out to investigate again, and found that many of the assets intercepted were forced by the Wang family to oppress the people and forcibly plunder, and some of them were bribed by many forces in the Black Rock Market, and of course, some of them were assets owned by the Wang family itself." ”
"What does Uncle Bai mean?" asked Zhang Hanlin.
"Lingxuan, you go to your mother first, and I'll talk to Hanlin first. Bai Shen said to his daughter.
"Oh, okay. Bai Lingxuan obediently agreed, and then left.
After Bai Lingxuan left, Bai Shen said: " About 300,000 taels of silver in this million taels of silver were robbed and plundered by the people, and about 300,000 taels of silver were bribed by the Black Rock Bazaar, and even bribed by other forces in Dongsheng City, and the remaining almost 400,000 taels of silver were owned by the Wang family itself, you said that you want to build a place of refuge, and the 300,000 taels of silver bribed by other forces to the Wang family can be driven by you, and the 300,000 taels of silver taken from the people will be returned to the people, but what should I do with the silver taels owned by the Wang family itself?"
Zhang Hanlin made a difficulty, why didn't he take this into account at the beginning.
There are so many people in the Wang family who have been arrested, most of them will definitely be released, so if all the money is confiscated, the people of the Wang family may have to beg on the street, but they will all be returned, but they are a little unhappy.
Zhang Hanlin muttered: "Uncle Bai, you said that we will leave 300,000 taels, and the remaining 100,000 will be returned to the Wang family, this will not work." ”
Bai Shen said: "The Wang family has at least a few hundred people, and only one hundred thousand taels of silver are left for them, isn't it a little little." ”
Zhang Hanlin sneered: "Less, I've seen a lot." The ordinary people who were oppressed by them had less silver in their hands than this, and the Wang family did not ignore it and forcibly plundered the people. I think it's too much to give them 100,000 taels. ”
Bai Shen smiled bitterly: "Hanlin, I also agree with your idea, if I were the same age, I would think the same way, but now I will not only deal with this family, but there may be more families involved in the future." If you think about it, if the City Lord's Mansion takes action every time to arrest someone, not only will it confiscate those improper properties, but also take away so much of the property that its family already owns, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction. When the time comes, all the forces in Dongsheng City will unite, and even the City Lord's Mansion will not be able to bear it. ”
Zhang Hanlin thought for a while and said: "Then deduct half of it, leave 200,000 taels for the Wang family, and use the remaining 200,000 taels for various construction projects in Dongshengcheng in the future." ”
"It's still a little less, in case it is ...... by those " Before Bai Shen finished speaking, Zhang Hanlin interrupted him and said, "Uncle Bai, I know that you are thinking about the overall situation, but if the punishment is not serious, it will not play a role in Liwei at all." If you want me to say, leave 200,000 yuan for the Wang family, and let the Wang family release the news that the city lord's mansion has deducted half of his family's property. I'll see which families dare to jump out, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, all the families who dare to jump out at this juncture must have a certain connection with the Wang family. Uncle Bai can quickly cut through the mess and take down these families strongly, if one of these families is innocent, I, Zhang Hanlin, will no longer practice martial arts in this life. ”
"This, this idea is crazy!" Bai Shen was a little shocked, Zhang Hanlin's thoughts were too sharp, and he considered things very extremely, but he was very reasonable.
But being justified is not necessarily beneficial.
Bai Shen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "Do you know what will happen once the City Lord's Mansion dares to do this?"
Zhang Hanlin pondered and said slowly: "If you really do this, it will arouse more family resistance and resistance, and there will even be rumors, such as the City Lord's Mansion greedy for the money of those families, I am afraid it will arouse public resentment." What's more important is that there will be those big families who will jointly write to the lord of the country, saying that you are very incompetent as the lord of the city, and requesting that you be stripped of the position of the lord of the city. ”
Zhang Hanlin said with a smile: "Uncle Bai, you should have thought of what I predicted, right?" ”
Bai Shen was surprised: "Since you have ......"
"Since I have already guessed that this will be the result, why would I let Uncle Bai do this?" Zhang Hanlin asked directly.
"That's right. Bai Shen is now more interested in Zhang Hanlin's thoughts.
Zhang Hanlin picked up the booklet in his hand and played with it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Bai, are you also afraid of these tricks of clowns?"
Bai Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's a question of whether it's feasible or not." ”
