Chapter 48
Su Lang didn't believe it: "You would be so kind. Honestly, what are your intentions?"
"Go away! You ungrateful guy." Qing Xiaoke suddenly became angry, but immediately turned back to a smiling face. She patted Su Lang's shoulder affectionately: "Fool, where are you thinking? I said we are
Brothers, if you want to go, I will naturally help you. Brothers should love each other and support each other, what do you think?"
Su Lang nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that's right, but you should let me think about it again. Now, your business is over, but mine is not over yet. So many people haven't left yet, don't you?"
You know how troublesome it is to welcome and send you off, and you have to be busy."
Qing Xiaoke stared directly into Su Lang's eyes. After making sure that he was not tricking her, she clapped her hands happily: "Then, I won't delay your work. If you have anything to do, come to me. I will help my brother.
I will definitely take care of you."
Qing Xiaoke skipped away. There was always sunshine and happiness in her world.
Su Lang looked at her back, feeling sad. It would be great to be with such an innocent and flawless girl, but it was a pity that he had no such fate.
Some things are destined from the beginning, and avoidance and misinterpretation will only harm others and yourself. Su Lang has never felt so weak and helpless as now, even in the early stages of rebirth.
He had been wrapped up in a dense net without knowing it, and he had no confidence whether he could break free.
The accidental fall of Yun Zhongyue was like a whirlpool, swallowing up everything around him at an alarming speed. All people and things were sucked in indiscriminately.
Three days ago, Yi Gaifeng, one of the twelve flag bearers of the Tianwu Association, was suddenly kidnapped. The matter was carefully covered up and only a few people knew about it. Su Lang was also a belated observer, but unlike the other belated observers,
The slight difference is that he was involved from the beginning. That day he was ordered to go to Sandu Hall in the east of the city to deliver melons and fruits to Mrs. Ming, which was an important part of rescuing Yi Gifeng.
His role is to alert others.
The Tianwu Society and the Su family believed that the person was kidnapped by the Yun family. Except for Mrs. Ming who did not follow the rules, who in Pingjiang Mansion had the guts to kidnap the Tianwu Society's flag bearer during the authentication conference?
Su Lang came here just to beat Mrs. Ming, shock her, oppress her, and force her to take action immediately.
Their goal was achieved.
While Su Lang was still listening to ghost stories outside the gate of Sandu Hall, Mrs. Ming ordered Yi Gaifeng who was hiding in Sandu Hall to be moved out.
The person was rescued just after leaving Sandu Hall. It is said that the process was very harmonious, and there was no violent conflict between the two parties. As soon as the rescuer revealed his identity, the Yun family members dispersed, and there were no feared Yun family members among them.
.
Yi Baifeng suffered a little injustice at the hands of Mrs. Ming. Two of her front teeth were knocked out, three of her ribs were broken, and there were only a few small pieces missing, but she was basically still a whole person.
The purpose of Mrs. Ming's torture of her old friend without regard for dignity is to find out the real culprit behind the plot against her son. Mrs. Ming hopes that someone is, Yi Beifeng said that person is not, but Mrs. Ming said that person can actually be, Yi Beifeng
Feng said that the person really couldn't be the same, they were too different from each other, and they could never reach an agreement. Mrs. Ming was annoyed, and she ordered to show her old friend a little bit.
A long time ago, the Yun family was known for being good at torture. When the eight families pacified Jiangnan, the ancestors of the Yun family were in charge of the prison and tortured Jiangnan with extremely cruel methods. Some of them had experience and skills. Although they were on a journey this time, all kinds of horrors
The torture equipment was not around, but Mrs. Ming still used local materials and gave her old friend enough respect. After that day and night, Yi Gifeng's life was said to be very difficult. In fact, if Long hadn't returned, Cao Hualu and others secretly reconciled,
The life of Yi Ling Feng is bound to be even more difficult.
This matter was carefully covered up, because there was no evidence, and because it involved some old grudges of the Jiangnan family, it was really not appropriate to expose it during the forensic conference.
Su Lang didn't mind being the stick that alerted the enemy. Heaven was the chessboard and I was the pawn. This was his fate.
Through this incident, he also fully understood the dangerous situation he was in. The Yun family's matter was just the beginning. Yi Gifeng's broken teeth and broken ribs showed that a huge storm was brewing.
The desperate mad woman doesn't know what big move she's going to unleash.
Su Lang couldn't tell how many people this storm would swallow, but he knew that he was in the center of the storm and would definitely experience a journey of ups and downs in the future.
Knowing that the future is bumpy, why bother dragging others along with you?
Staying away from her is the best protection.
…
After several days of closed-door discussions, on the third day, the ten forensic masters finally determined the high-level warrior candidates for this Jiangnan forensic conference. There were twelve people in total, and there were three high-level first-class warriors, all of whom were from Jiangnan.
The descendant of the aristocratic family, Kui Yuan is Feng Hanming from Stone City, followed by Qing Shigong from Wuming Mountain, and then Qing Yuqiu from the Qing family.
The cultivation of the three people is evenly matched. On the same level, since the ranking must be in order, then a choice must be made. Qing Yuqiu, who actually performed best, showed her generosity here. In the final competition, she
He took the initiative to give up the move, giving up Kui Yuan to Feng Hanming, and pushed Qing Shi Gong to take the second seat.
There are four high-ranking second-grade warriors, all of whom are descendants of the eight Jiangnan families, namely Wu Kegong, Wu Keqin, Wu Kezhen, and Su Jian.
There are five senior top three warriors, four of whom are disciples of the Jiangnan family. In addition to Wu Kejian, Su Xia, and Qing Xiaoke, there is also Yi Taihua, a branch of the Yi family. The only outsider is named Ming Shixiu, and the Ming family is also a prominent family in Jiangnan.
In terms of origin, it is still above the eight families in Jiangnan, but Guangming was once overtaken by the eight families who came from behind, and now belongs to the second-rate family in Jiangnan.
The remaining 4th, 5th, 6th and 3rd grade warriors totaled thirty-eight people.
The "Hundred Flowers Warrior" fell into the Wu family, and Yun Zhongyue was ranked second among the fourth-class warriors.
Among the middle-level warriors, children from eight families occupied twenty-two places.
There are a total of eighty-nine warriors in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, and the children of the eight Jiangnan families occupy thirty-four places.
This result was not much different from what was originally expected, and all parties were relieved. A conference without any trouble is a successful conference, which is worthy of celebration.
The list of one hundred and thirty-nine warriors was made into a red list and posted on the bulletin board in front of the city gates and yamen of all counties and counties in Jiangnan. It was made public and announced to the world. The authentication conference was over, but there was enough talk left for the gentry in Jiangnan.
The people had fun for a while, and the legends and stories derived from it were far more exciting and fascinating than the forensic conference itself.
This list full of young talents from the south of the Yangtze River will soon be sent to Shenjing City by fast horse. There are three horses and three lists. One will be sent to the General Assembly by the Tianwu Society for filing, and the other will be sent to the Political Affairs Bureau by the Nanzhou Grand Governor's Office.
Tang and the Ministry of War, along with a handwritten letter from the General Manager, in which the Nanzhou General Manager suggested that the Ministry of War quickly send officials to Jiangnan to select talents and enrich the army.
There is also a list sent to Shenjing City through secret channels. The Beifu Division will issue a separate detailed report on this forensic conference to fairly evaluate the gains and losses of this conference from the perspective of a bystander. This secret report will soon be
They were sent to the Jiuchong Palace and presented to the emperor for inspection. The officials in the inner palace would send people to the south of the Yangtze River as quickly as possible to take away the people they wanted before the Political Hall and the Ministry of War.
The Political Affairs Hall naturally understands this, and the prime ministers, ministers of the Ministry of War, and ministers will consciously suppress the public and private documents submitted by Nanzhou for a while, so as to stagger the time and try their best not to conflict with the internal affairs.
All of these are just routine and procedural matters. In fact, officials from various internal and external departments arrived in Nanzhou early in the morning. They were either walking among aristocratic families, in official offices, or hiding in the auditorium at the venue. Once they found someone they were interested in, they would
We will contact you privately as soon as possible
As for the Tianwuhui Association, they will circulate the list to all states and counties, and submit the red book to the emperor at the end of the year. The emperor will instruct the inner privy council to recruit all warriors who have not been recruited by the imperial court and are willing to serve the imperial court into the palace guard.
Then they were selected from the palace guards and sent to the sword-sharpening room, where they practiced martial arts and discussed the art of war. After a year or two, they were sent to all directions to guard the country's borders.
These people have been selected and left behind. Compared with those of the same year who were selected by Yousi in advance, they are already second best, but their situation may not be worse than those of the same year because they have practiced in the sword sharpening room.
, this experience will give them an extremely glorious title - fellow disciples of the Emperor.
At the closing ceremony on the last day, Cao Zhu, on behalf of the Jiangnan Certification Conference of the Tianwu Association, read out the list of warriors in public and issued tokens. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn. Su Lang, who was sitting in the audience and watching the ceremony, looked around and found that there were people coming from all around the venue.
There were many officials from the capital, half civil and half military, and some internal officials wearing purple robes. These people were sent by various departments in the capital to select talents.
In the past few days, they had been fighting openly and secretly, and each had already obtained what he wanted. Sitting here today is just a show of force, to give a thought to the defeated warriors.
Pinching has always been a reserved project of various agencies, and the high-ranking warriors encountered fierce looting. Among them, only four, Qing Yuqiu, Wu Kegong, Wu Kezhen, and Qing Xiaoke, declined the call, and the rest were all famous.
What makes people a little surprised is that two of the four brothers of the Wu family actually accepted the recruitment of the Supervisory Yuan and swore to serve the imperial court. The Wu family has always hated the official career economy, so it is very surprising that they suddenly made such a move.
The Su brothers have long been interested in becoming officials. Needless to say, Yun Zhongyue, another man who was originally committed to developing his career, politely declined the call from the Ministry of War this time.
Wu Tianyou also declined the call from the imperial court. He was the only son in his family and the only hope for a prosperous family. Although the title of "Hundred Flowers Warrior" was helpful for his career, after much thought, he still refused the temptation of the big sauce vat.
Mountain people think of themselves, putting their family first and then their country, and they only care about shining the lintel of their family.
The conference ended successfully, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It is not easy to organize such a grand event. They have been worried and tormented day and night these days. Fortunately, there was no danger, and the merits were finally fulfilled.
That night, the Tianwu Association held a banquet for guests at Yijiang Chunlou to thank local people from all walks of life for their support of the authentication conference. It was very lively when celebrities gathered, crowns and hats gathered. Most of the new warriors, Jiangnan martial arts figures who participated in the authentication conference, and Pingjiang locals
Military, political, academic, civil and business leaders all came to support us.
