Volume 1 The Scourge of Ascension Chapter 19 The Matter Is Settled
In a blink of an eye, the next day, today he was going to report to the academy, it was already two days later than originally expected, Cheng Hao didn't want to delay any longer, although it didn't mean much to him to study now, but he had to give his parents an explanation.
After explaining to Xu Mu and his wife, he went out in the direction of the academy, and Xu Qing followed behind him, and after the two got along well, she completely became Cheng Hao's follower.
There is no need to inquire along the way, as for the scholars who only need to follow those who are hurrying, the entire street is almost everywhere, which shows how much Chu attaches importance to literati.
It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, countries were divided into one place, and wars were continuous. The state of Chu was originally only a small country, the first king seized the throne by force, and later became the king, and was supported by the military generals to pacify the world, laying the foundation for nearly a thousand years for the current state of Chu. In addition, in the previous dynasties, there were many cases of military generals seizing power, so they were extremely afraid that the generals who held military power under their subordinates would follow suit, so they vigorously developed the imperial examination, abolished the restrictions on the family, and the civil management was extremely rich. As a result, the state of Chu began to prevail in reading, and academies were set up in various prefectures, counties, counties, and even some towns and villages. There is even a saying among the people that "everything is inferior, only reading is high".
Under such a national policy, many ordinary people have seen the hope of coming forward, but it has also made the generals not pay attention, and even the Six Doors organization is often excluded by the civil administration. If it weren't for the country's inability to do without their restraint on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid it would be difficult to be as powerful as it is now.
Qingcheng Academy is not far away, and for Cheng Hao, a student who came a few days late, Mr. Academy did not blame, but was more respectful. This attitude reminded Cheng Hao of the Qingcheng faction, if it weren't for that, there would be no other possibility.
But even so, Cheng Hao didn't care too much, if it was his own opportunity before, but now reading doesn't mean much to him, and he may not be able to come a few times a year. After dealing with the matter here, he took Xu Qing back.
At the entrance of Xu's Medical Center, the street that was originally crowded with pedestrians seemed a little deserted when it approached here, and some passers-by also looked panicked when they walked by. Zhou Quan's matter has not yet come to fruition, and the shop destroyed by Cheng Hao has not been asked by anyone today, and it is still unrecognizable, neither of them can be provoked by ordinary people, and passers-by are afraid of getting into trouble.
A day ago, after Zhou Quan was taught a lesson by Cheng Hao, he knew that he was not an opponent. So he ran to his uncle, who is now the prefect of Qingzhou, hoping that he could ask someone to help him teach Cheng Hao a lesson. Originally, for the Qingzhou prefect, this was just a gesture. It's just that before the two of them had time to act, they heard that Cheng Hao destroyed the coffin shop, which made the prefect unable to make up his mind for a while.
In the entire Qingzhou territory, as the prefect of this place, he can be regarded as a high-ranking person, and he also knows something about martial arts people, and he knows that the masters of the rivers and lakes who can have the strength of Cheng Hao are not ordinary people, and his subordinates can't play a big role at all. So he thought that maybe it might be possible to ask the elders of the local Qingcheng faction to help, originally the Qingcheng faction and the officials in the Qingzhou territory were mutually beneficial, but now when he met a person like Cheng Hao, it was indeed a good way to find the Qingcheng faction to solve it.
Thinking of this, he came to the inn with Zhou Quan full of confidence, and also saw Ying Tianxing. Unexpectedly, Ying Tianxing gave him a stern warning, and even vaguely revealed the relationship between Cheng Hao and the Qingcheng faction. In this way, where does this prefect dare to care about this matter, he is a big man in Qingzhou City, but in the entire Qingzhou territory, in addition to the prefects of their counties, there are also county governors, assassins, and Qingzhou governors, these mountains are pressing him.
The special status of the Qingcheng faction may not even dare to offend them easily. is a small prefect of his own, if the other party wants to needle himself, I am afraid that the accumulation of his life will be wasted in an instant. Even if Zhou Quan was his nephew, he didn't dare to care about this matter anymore.
The prefect of Qingzhou didn't dare to care about this matter, as for Zhou Quan, Ying Tianxing only glanced at him, and let him leave safely. Thinking that Cheng Hao had already taught Zhou Quan a lesson, now that the coffin shop was also destroyed by Cheng Hao, the matter may just pass.
Early this morning, the prefect got up and changed his clothes under the service of his subordinates. Suddenly, I heard a report from my subordinates that Zhou Quan was killed last night, and the murderer did not leave any clues.
Hearing this, the prefect was shocked, and immediately figured out the reason for the matter, knowing that he was lucky to be safe and sound now. As for the Zhou family members who came to report the case, they were sent away, and they listed all kinds of evidence of Zhou Quan's life of bullying others, and bluntly said that someone did the right thing for heaven, and the government would not investigate this matter. Even if it is a relative, does it matter if you can have your own life?
At this time, Cheng Hao was taking Xu Qing back to the entrance of the medical hall, looking at the sparse pedestrians on the street, and was about to sigh, but he heard a noise in the distance.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A group of five people, dressed in fast service, posted a notice on the wall every other way, causing many onlookers to come in this direction at this moment.
Cheng Hao was curious, and he also followed to take a look, and when he saw the content of the notice, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, now his uncle and aunt should rest assured!
"Cousin, cousin, what's written on it?" Xu Qing pulled Cheng Hao's clothes and asked anxiously, she really didn't know what was written on it at all, seeing that Cheng Hao seemed to be very happy when she saw it, she also became curious.
"Well, it's a good thing, the bad guy who bullied your father and mother has been arrested. Of course he wouldn't tell this kind of dead man's thing, so he lied to her that Zhou Quan was arrested. Hearing Xu Qing's applause, he praised the prefect for eliminating harm for the people, and he was a great good official. That Zhou Quan forced their family to be cornered, and even wanted to arrest her, but she hated Zhou Quan to death.
Looking at Xu Qing's happy appearance, Cheng Hao smiled and didn't speak, a person like the prefect of Qingzhou can be regarded as a good official? I'm afraid that if I can't afford to offend myself, I'm afraid that my cousin's family is already on the way to flee today, and maybe it's even worse and not impossible.
Of course, Cheng Hao won't say this kind of thing, first, he doesn't want to hit Xu Qing's mood. Second, of course, I have to take care of my cousin's affairs.
Xu Mu and his wife naturally heard the noise outside, and ran out to take a look at it, and they were immediately excited, coupled with what Cheng Hao said yesterday, they naturally understood that this was Cheng Hao's credit. admired Cheng Hao even more, he was so capable at such a young age, he would definitely be a big man in the future, and he was also envious of his cousin who he hadn't seen for many years.
Seeing Xu Qing's intimacy with Cheng Hao, the two suddenly had a plan, and they were thinking about how to keep Cheng Hao in the future. After all, when it comes to Cheng Hao and Xu Qing, it is already a fourth-generation relationship, and it is not impossible for the two of them. Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Cheng Hao naturally didn't know what Xu Mu and his wife thought, and when he saw them coming out, he said hello. "Uncle and aunt, Zhou Quan's matter has been resolved, now you can rest assured, right?" As if showing off, the child's heart was undoubtedly revealed. Perhaps the state he showed in front of his elders was the most in line with his real age and character, but his strong strength brought him a world that was different from ordinary people.
"Okay! Thanks to Hao'er, my uncle has written down this matter, and Brother Jiahai has given birth to a good son!" Xu Mu sighed, thinking that he, as the head of the family, was almost cornered, if it wasn't just in time for Cheng Hao to come over, their family didn't know what would happen.
"Whatever my uncle said, it is right for the family to help each other. He was a little embarrassed to be praised, and as he spoke, Cheng Hao pulled Xu Qing back to the hospital. Seeing that Xu Mu and his wife were overjoyed, they only hoped that these two children would be as they thought in the future, childhood sweethearts.
What the two of them thought in their hearts, Cheng Hao naturally didn't know. Now that he has said hello to the academy, it is time for him to plan for the future.
Although reading is not the main purpose, it cannot be completely left behind, and the most important thing is the question of cultivation. It's only been a few days since I went out, and I've encountered so many conflicts. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he had a certain strength, I am afraid that when I first met Xu Cheng, I could only be soft on him, and there would be no follow-up, but this is the way it is, different states will face different lives.
This strong strength also made him truly realize the true meaning of survival. Compared with relying on reading to take the imperial examination, and then earning a place in the officialdom, the strength of one's own strength is the most reliable. Thinking about the prefect of Qingzhou, such a figure still has to bow his head in front of a powerful martial artist? Moreover, the matter of Zhao Wuji has not yet been resolved, and there is an agreement with Nangong Que, all of which must have strong strength as the foundation.
Thinking about this, Cheng Hao couldn't help but feel that time was a little tight, since he met those elders of the Qingcheng faction, Cheng Hao knew that in order to allow himself to have such a cultivation so quickly, Zao Wou-Ki must have paid a great price. In such a state and the six doors, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
Nangong Que's matter can be put aside for the time being, and now it is imperative to find the clues of Zao Wou-Ki as soon as possible. Fortunately, the cooperation with the Qingcheng faction kept him from being blinded.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao couldn't sit still, said hello to Xu Mu, didn't let Xu Qing follow, went out alone, and went straight to the Qingcheng faction.
In the backyard of the inn, after explaining his intentions, Ying Tianxing seemed to have been prepared and took out two pieces of information to him, which were about Zhao Wouji.
Opening the first one, Cheng Hao was stunned.
It reads: In the city of Jizhou in July, the Sword Saint fought against the six doors and three congenitals, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
"Can't escape?"
Seeing this, Cheng Hao couldn't help but feel worried about Zao Wouji's situation, and he couldn't wait to rush over to help, but the battle between the innate powerhouses was not something he could handle. But the more this happened, the more anxious he became, and he didn't know what to do.
