Chapter 537: Return
After a night without saying anything, the two of them rested in this temple for a night, and then got up and left, but when the fisherman left, he looked at the temple with a rather strange face, and seemed to be a little unwilling.
It wasn't until the young man called a few times that he shook his head and left, and the two of them talked while hurrying, and soon walked a long way. When the young man began to talk about sex, he asked the fisherman why he had paused in front of the temple before leaving.
The fisherman's face was pale, but his mouth was surprising, "In this temple, I originally wanted to wait, there is another person, but that person is missing for some reason", the young man was stunned when he heard this, and immediately recalled that the reason why he was chased and killed was that he secretly took a dart and pressed a box of gold bars, which was originally extremely secret.
In addition, he was rushed by the bandits, and he didn't know where he was, and this fisherman could just wait for him in that temple, which was simply an unpredictable prophet and unpredictable. As the young man thought about it, there was a look of horror on his face.
However, after the fisherman noticed this, he smiled and said, "Where do I have the ability you think, it's just a legacy of the predecessors, you will naturally know what this matter is when you enter the door in the future, but for thousands of years, we have chosen disciples in this vein, and there are very few bad pools, the so-called lonely yin is not born, the lonely yang is not long, it should be a pair of melons, but now there is only one of you, I can't say whether this matter is good or bad, it depends on your own creation." ”
After the fisherman finished speaking, he did not mention this stubble, and the young man did not dare to continue to ask when he saw this. After the two of them left the temple, Xu Yao Shi Shiran walked out, the two people who appeared in the temple before, the young man was just a stunned young man who had just entered the innate realm, and there was no need to worry at all.
But the fisherman was unfathomable, by no means an ordinary grandmaster, and after feeling that he was not coming out in the dark, Xu Yao completely hid his figure. The Chongming family can survive under the pursuit of the Qiqi clan to this day, and it is not trivial to hide their own kung fu, so the gap between the two in cultivation is huge, and the fisherman has not seen through Xu Yao's hiding place.
After these two people walked in this ruined temple, the latent luck on Xu Yao's body became more and more vivid, as if he was about to break out of his body at any time, Xu Yao felt this, and smiled slightly, he did not act recklessly, and he really gained something, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Yao left the ancient temple and went straight to the Shangyong City.
After some waves here, Xu Yao's journey after that was slow, but unexpectedly flat, Xu Yao entered the Shangyong City Gate, and then went straight to Pu Yuanwai's house.
When Pu Yuan saw Xu Yao, he was also quite happy and put Xu Yao
Welcoming into the middle hall, after the tea ceremony, he asked Xu Yao: "Why didn't the Geng family's tiger skin arrive, did this slave dare to give up Mr. and go home first?
Xu Yao shook his head slowly when he heard this, and then said, "What I experienced this time in Suzhou City can only be described in one word. ”
Seeing that Xu Yao said so seriously, Pu Yuan was a little shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked what was going on. Xu Yao argued with the shopkeeper Lu after returning the silver and the tiger skin after drinking, and talked about the accounts collected, the theft on the road, and the killing of the tiger skin by the robbers. When Pu Yuanwai heard this, he was shocked at first, and then sighed again and again: "Gold and silver cloth are just some things that need to be outside the body, not enough to worry about, but the Geng family has lost both wealth, how can I tell my daughter?"
After beating his chest for a while, Pu Yuanwai suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Xu Yao, "Before Xianggong came to my place, did he ever go back to Jiang's mansion?", Xu Yao pointed to his umbrella package when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "If Xiaosheng goes back to Jiang's house, how can he bring these things?"
Pu Yuanwai nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Exactly, exactly, but the Jiang family is now in an eventful time, and the Xianggong should not go back", Xu Yao was surprised when he heard this, so he asked what was going on. It turned out that not long after Xu Yao left, a major event occurred here, which caused Pei Zhizhou, the parent official here, not only to lose his black hat, but also to be treated as a prisoner, tortured, and thrown into prison.
After Pei Zhizhou suffered a catastrophe, the Jiang family, who was quite close to him before, naturally suffered from the pond fish, except for Jiang Wenlun, who was still running up and down for Pei Zhizhou, the rest of the people, including the elders of the Jiang family, mostly withdrew from the matter and watched coldly.
As for why the governors of a county have fallen into bad luck, this matter has to start with the annual tribute in Wuling County. Since Xiong Mu ascended the throne and divided the world, Zangjian Villa has become the absolute overlord of the entire Wuling County. As long as it is on the territory of Wuling County, what Xu Zimo said is like a golden rule, and what Xiong Mu, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, said, is effective.
Since this Wuling County has been under the actual rule of the Tibetan Sword Villa, the taxes of this county are naturally collected by it, and after gathering in one place, most of them are kept for their own use, and the small half is paid to the Southern Chu court. Therefore, although the bureaucratic system in Southern Chu is still nominally within the system of the Southern Chu court, in fact, it has long been killed and seized by the powerful forces of the rivers and lakes entrenched by all parties.
For example, Xu Zimo, the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa, was named a prince in the Southern Chu court, and nominally had all the Southern Chu officials in Wuling County
The power to depose and promote is only the top forces such as Zangjia Villa, and they will not mess with these large and small officials on their own turf.
The ancients had clouds, Wu Anbang, Wen Dingguo, on martial arts killing, so that all the big and small officials in Wuling County lined up in a line, it was not enough for the Tibetan Sword Villa to come out of the elder to kill, but if you want to put the governance of Wuling County in order, it is not enough to call the whole village of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and then pull out the old immortals in the Tibetan Sword Pool.
Moreover, these top forces in the rivers and lakes have always been based on their own martial arts inheritance, as long as their own martial arts can be passed on, and there will be strong people from generation to generation, that is the eternal stability of the country, and no one who will be the official of this Wuling County can change this world.
Martial arts are inherently upward, the elixir medicine, the magic weapon, and the magic classics are all good things that everyone wants, as for those yellow and white vulgar things, gold and silver jewelry is more, what is the use of coming?
And at the level of the top forces in the rivers and lakes, Wuling County is equivalent to a cornucopia of monopoly, killing chickens and taking eggs, doing all the stupid things like fishing, where will it be done, when it comes to the real crisis, the Tibetan Sword Villa, which usually only collects benefits and does not do things, is afraid that it is more concerned about this Wuling County than anyone else.
Of course, when the world is peaceful, the Tibetan Sword Villa only monopolizes important resources everywhere, and it is over with extensive taxation. Not to mention what resources are important in Wuling County, the annual tribute of each county and city is the main means of collecting money in the Tibetan Sword Villa.
In the late spring of each year, the Tibetan Sword Villa will send envoys to all parties to collect the tribute of the previous year, and after the envoy of the Tibetan Sword Villa arrives, such as Pei Zhizhou, the head of a county will personally open the county treasury, take out the taxes collected in a year, count the accounts in person, and then hand over with the Tibetan Sword Villa.
Although Pei Zhizhou does not know how to greet people, and has a peculiar pedantry of scholars, this Zhizhou's position has not been promoted for more than 20 years, but this matter of paying tribute has long been familiar.
Who knew that on the first day, Pei Zhizhou also took everyone to count the gold nuggets in the warehouse, and after the other night, he opened it with the collector's villa and took a look, and it turned into clods.
When the treasury gold was sealed and counted, the famous squires in the county were all present, and they suddenly turned into clods, naturally they were all surprised, although Pei Zhizhou had been sitting in this position for more than twenty years, it was unlikely that he would suddenly make a mistake in such a major matter.
But since the end of the year after the sealing of the tribute, the key to the county treasury has always been in Pei Zhizhou's hands, and the doors and windows of the county treasury were intact overnight, and the tribute gold inside was gone, all of which were replaced with clods of soil, and Pei Zhizhou was in an embarrassing situation of yellow mud falling off his crotch, not but also.
