Chapter 42: Rumors about Nanguan Shaoxia(1/3)

 Also at this moment when the Nascent Soul is transformed.

Ninghe's spiritual awareness of thirty-three miles has been extended again, extending to a radius of forty-two miles.

It continued to grow slowly after that.

And within Ning He's field of vision, even without opening his Dharma Eyes, he could see the aura of heaven and earth surrounding him.

The appearance of Yuanying at this moment is like another sharp change of the soul, allowing the wonders of heaven and earth to appear before our eyes.

After Ning He realized this, he also took back his spiritual consciousness and his wonderful senses.

Otherwise, if you look around now, you will see colorful things everywhere.

Although it doesn't affect anything, I can still see clearly as usual.

But it’s not as natural as usual.

Afterwards, Ning He quickly calmed down and continued to fill in the books as before.

Because for Ning He, the breakthrough in realm is a matter of course, and it is not worth paying special attention to.

If you blindly think about breakthrough opportunities, it will become an obsession that gets you into trouble.

This is the way Ning He has always been: don’t think, don’t observe, don’t fight, don’t discern, just let everything take its course.

And when Ning He was replenishing his books, as merchants who got up early passed by the tea stall, the stall became lively again and regained its previous fireworks.

Ning He actually likes this lively feeling, and also likes to listen to these businessmen chatting about all kinds of things.

Sometimes when I hear something interesting, I can add it to the travel diary I am currently writing.

But now, these three travelers who were traveling together were talking about an acquaintance.

When Ning He heard it, it was a rumor about Nanguan Shaoxia.

It's just that what they talked about was a little outrageous.

Some people say that Nanguan Daxia is an old man in his 70s or 80s. He acquired great martial arts skills and turned Pingcheng upside down.

Others say that Nanguan is a young hero who is only twenty-three or four years old, but he does not do good things. Instead, he gathers some bandits and robs some big businessmen.

Didn’t I see that the three people Nanguan Shaoxia was looking for all had rich families?

But there are also some people who know some inside stories, and know that Nanguan Shaoxia seems to be revenge for someone, not for money.

The three of them chatted, and the news they heard was all kinds of different, as if they were talking about the same people, but different people.

And there are more rumored versions in the county where they are located.

This is also just over a month since the Nanguan Shaoxia incident, and Liangcheng is nearly a thousand miles away from Pingcheng.

As a result, the real inside story has not been completely revealed, and they only listened to what Xingshanglu said on the road.

Afterwards, the three people chatted, exchanged the information they heard, argued and integrated with each other.

In the end, he became a sixty-year-old man and became a master of martial arts. He then gathered a group of men to rob the wealthy businessmen of Pingcheng.

They feel this is more reasonable.

But it’s reasonable.

And when they think about it, if this is true, then Pingcheng will be a dangerous place now.

Maybe the walkways in Liangcheng are not safe either.

Thinking like this, they paid for the tea quickly and wanted to finish delivering the goods and go home early.

There was also a tea customer who advised Ning He and said, be careful as there have been a lot of bandits recently. If that doesn't work, the shop owner should close the stall and go home to hide it, right?

Ning He smiled and nodded at the tea guest's suggestion while sipping the green mountain tea in the cup.

This tea was specially sent by Zhang Yuanwai two years ago.

And when Ning He was listening to these strange rumors...

Noon.

In the study room in the backyard of a rice shop in Liangcheng.

Zhang Wewei, whose belly seems to be a little bigger, is looking at some brochures at the table.

Above are the goods to be traded after the year, as well as the account of the fees paid.

These are all for Mr. Liu’s inspection.

It's just that Mr. Liu hasn't come back yet, so he can only stay in his study.

Moreover, Mr. Liu sent someone to send a message back a year ago, and these account books should not be handed over to Jin Cao, the chief accountant.

Although the chief accountant is one of my own, the Hongshang Association is a big deal and it is half of Mr. Liu’s private affairs, so it would be best if fewer people are involved.

The guards are now following Mr. Liu wholeheartedly, listening to Mr. Liu's words, and waiting for Mr. Liu to come back.

As time goes by.

The guard finished reading them all and took a break while sipping the sobering tea.

Footsteps were also heard outside the house, and the scholar said through the door: "I went to Jin Cao's Mansion today to inquire. Mr. Liu is on the way and will be back in about ten days."

"I understand." The guard put down the tea cup, "Come in and talk about Pingcheng. Several big shopkeepers have been talking about this recently."

Crunch—

The door opens.

The scholar walked in and asked, "Is it about Nanguan?"

"That's exactly what happened." The guard rubbed the jade ring on his index finger, "Some people who don't know much about the inside story thought Nanguan was a thief who robbed wealthy businessmen.

Moreover, during these days, none of us in Liang Chengguan’s family sent anyone to check whether this rumor was true or not.

This makes several big shopkeepers in our city who often visit Pingcheng dare not even go to Pingcheng.

But I heard that Nanguan seems not to be a bandit, but to avenge someone?"

"No matter whether it is revenge for someone or not." The scholar sighed: "Hundreds of lives have been lost in these years, plus there are many people from all walks of life gathering in Pingcheng.

Even if this is nothing, Pingcheng is still in a bit of chaos."

"So how was your inquiry today?" the guard asked, "What did our government say? These shopkeepers only believe the government."

The guard said, also thinking of the shopkeepers who came to him yesterday evening and asked him to ask someone to go to the government to inquire about the inside story and see what arrangements the government had.

As a result, the scholar is the person sent by the escort to inquire.

I happened to ask Mr. Liu about it.

And now.

When the scholar heard the shopkeeper's question, he said truthfully: "I heard from Jin Cao's chief accountant that although the prefect has received a letter from Pingcheng, he still has to send someone to personally investigate to determine whether the news is true or false.

It can be regarded as assisting Pingcheng to solve the case and capture Nanguan.

As for who to send, it seems that each county will send a few experts?"

"I think so. The officials have to give an explanation." The guard became more and more like a big shopkeeper. "Although I persuaded these shopkeepers that Pingcheng was not in chaos, I also persuaded them that Nanguan was not a gangster who robbed the road.

But these shopkeepers believed that I could issue them certificates of capital, but they also knew that I was a small guard before, so they didn't believe that I could get to know the high officials in Pingcheng, or know about Pingcheng's affairs.

But now that the government is acting, I feel at ease."

When the guard said this, he shook his head and didn't care.

I looked at the calendar again.

In ten days, Mr. Liu will be back.

Then organize the book carefully.

And he was quite busy at the end of this year. He was going back and forth to socialize, and he didn't have time to go back to Zhou County to see his uncle, nor to see his husband.

In addition, my family has moved here, and now I have taken root in Liangcheng.

Then go there when you have time.

And the next morning.

While the guard was drinking tea and listening to a play with several shopkeepers again, and sitting at the front, telling these inside information.

A lot of letters were also circulated in Liangcheng City and were scattered in various county government offices.

The Yamen of Zhou County, not far from Liangcheng, received the letter at noon today.

The letter basically asked the county magistrate to send an expert to Pingcheng to investigate and assist Pingcheng police officers.

When the county magistrate of Zhou County saw this letter, he thought about it for a moment and felt that the Jianghu incident usually passed quickly, so why did he still send someone?

Besides, Nanguan seems to be avenging his father, not killing innocent people indiscriminately.

But think about it carefully.

The county has recently been abuzz with rumors about the Nanguan incident, and a group of big merchants did not dare to sell goods from Pingcheng.

So the county magistrate thought about it for a while and felt that he should understand it.
To be continued...
