Chapter 193 The news of Wu Shengshi, Qin Jinyang's return
Everyone in Helan Villa did not dare to move.
Everyone's heart beat faster, fearing that the government would suspect them, and they even began to recall whether they had any unusual behavior recently.
Have you ever provoked Shi Chongfeng?
From the ordinary disciples to the hall master and deputy village master, no one thought that that gloomy execution hall actually hid so many secrets.
The leader of the execution hall has had his hands and feet broken, and his body is covered with iron nails. He is like a living dead, which is shocking.
What awaits him must be endless torture from the executioners of the Skynet Division.
There was another group of people in the execution hall who were also nailed to the wooden board, each one wailing in pain and unable to survive. These people were the subordinates of the execution hall master, and they were not given special attention. They were just tortured for a while in a procedural way. Looking at it from another angle, even
It's a good thing.
Shi Chongfeng had been undercover for so long, narrowly escaped death several times, and had already figured out the rebels.
At the same time, a group of prisoners were captured.
These people are not rebels, they are prisoners held in Helan Villa.
These prisoners were miserable.
Everyone was as skinny as a stick, and their eyes were green, and there were even signs of poisoning. There were even several corpses that were carried out alive and dead. The death conditions were so miserable that the eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
Shi Chongfeng narrowed his eyes and loudly announced the cruel side of Xu Yuansheng.
It turns out that deep underground in the deepest part of the execution hall is a secret mine filled with miasma, in which extremely pure silver can be dug out.
If you want to resist the miasma, you need warriors to use true energy to defend.
If Xu Yuansheng wants to keep the secret of the silver mine, he cannot allow anyone to leak the news.
prisoner.
Especially those on death row are the best candidates for coolies.
Xue Bingbing frowned. Among the dying prisoners, he recognized an acquaintance at a glance.
It's Xu Longjie!
Who would have thought that the first generation master of Yao Xing Hall, the junior disciple whom the master valued so much, would actually become like this.
How long can he live?
Can you still live until tomorrow?
Recalling Xu Longjie's high-spirited appearance, Xue Bingbing felt a twinge in her heart.
Xu Longjie made a mistake and deserves punishment.
But after all... alas...
…
According to the laws of Helan Villa, the execution hall is an absolutely forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter.
The disciples only know that the owner of the village is very rich. Looking at the entire Yundong Province, except for the Huangyun Sect that later emerged, Helan Villa has treated its disciples generously. The rewards given to the disciples are also various, and it seems to have more resources.
The owner of the village, Xu Yuansheng, had a reputation as a righteous Bo Yuntian. Among the ten sects, he was the first to set up a Hall of Merit to encourage his disciples to perform chivalrous and righteous deeds with money and rewards.
He often warned his disciples that they should capture the bandits and villains alive. Those beasts should not die easily, and their lives would be worse than death.
Xu Yuansheng's loyalty is not limited to the villa.
He even had plans in the city at the foot of the mountain. In the sub-rudder of Helan Villa, he often issued high-priced rewards for arrests.
Those wandering warriors in the martial arts world who did not like to be restrained would sometimes capture bandits alive in exchange for some money.
When all the secrets were revealed to the world by Shi Chongfeng, people finally saw Xu Yuansheng's true face.
It turned out that he just needed coolies.
He needs warrior coolies with true energy, the kind who are bound to die.
Hypocrisy!
Such a big move.
It's really a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone.
Xu Yuanshengyi and Bo Yuntian have a good reputation in the world.
Your countless meritorious deeds are listed in the official government.
In recent years, your Helan Villa has received more commendation plaques than the other nine sects combined.
If you catch the bandits, you can still maintain your Blood Hell Silver Mine.
You, Xu Yuansheng, have taken all the good things in the world by yourself.
…
The warriors of the Skynet Division went in and out one after another, constantly transporting wealth and resources out of the secret room of the execution hall.
Countless silver ingots were pushed out and eventually piled up into a mountain.
Several large boxes were filled with golden leaves.
According to Shi Chongfeng's announcement, when Xu Yuansheng accumulated silver to a certain extent, he would go to other provinces and use various means to avoid the supervision of the court and exchange the silver into gold leaves, which were easy to store.
In addition to gold leaves, Xu Yuansheng also used silver to buy a large amount of cold jade.
After all, the number of gold leaves is limited, and if there is an endless amount of exchanges, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the court.
Cold jade is a kind of jade that is in great demand, and its circulation is even more exaggerated than gold leaf.
The main raw material of the jade bottle that stores elixirs is cold jade.
The medicinal properties of the elixir are easy to evaporate, and the cold jade bottle can ensure that the medicinal effect is concentrated. However, after one type of elixir is contained, the cold jade is corroded by the medicinal properties. If other elixirs are filled, it will easily be backlashed and destroy the elixir.
If it's more serious, the treasure pill will turn into a poison pill.
Therefore, cold jade is a consumable item that is consumed in great quantities.
In the palace, there is even a special Leng Yusi.
There is a greater demand for cold jade in the world, and the price of cold jade has been rising year by year in recent years.
Seeing the golden light and jade aura in the open space, all the warriors in the square breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone has a dry mouth.
Not finished yet?
Anything else?
How much did Xu Yuansheng hide?
Soon, another type of wood that was needed by all warriors and was more precious than gold leaves was also transported in large quantities.
To forge a treasure requires absolute high temperatures.
This kind of wood is durable in storage. In recent years, Zhongzhou has suffered from internal and external troubles. Enemies have invaded the country and rebels have rebelled in the country. Therefore, wars have occurred every day, and the demand for treasures and weapons has been terrifying.
The price of this wood has tripled.
Even the royal palace provided money to buy large quantities of this wood.
Next, countless precious materials were moved out...
There are a lot of elixirs!
There are a lot of weapons!
There are also a lot of talismans!
These things have a common attribute, they are all scarce treasures, and they are very easy to circulate and exchange. They can be used as gold and silver for currency consumption, and they are not subject to the supervision of the court.
If Xu Yuansheng is willing, he can consume everything here within three days.
It's really scary.
…
Although the warriors of the Skynet Division are well-informed and have raided the homes of many extremely corrupt officials, Xu Yuansheng is, after all, the leader of a mere martial arts sect. It is still astonishing that Xu Yuansheng can save so many resources.
The other six sect leaders were all stunned.
Although their respective sects have some inventory, their families are big and have big businesses, and there are people everywhere who eat, and their daily expenses are also a terrifying amount.
Compared with Xu Yuansheng's family background, he is as shabby as a beggar.
Sure enough, people can make people more angry than others.
The hall masters of Helan Villa were all dumbfounded.
They knew that the owner of the villa was capable and that the villa must have a lot of money.
But I never expected that I would be so rich.
The disciples of Shangdan Hall licked their chapped lips.
The master is really tricky.
He obviously has so much money hidden away, but he still has to sacrifice his life... Sigh...
Sure enough, in the eyes of the village owner, the disciples are always outsiders, and only the senior sister is the only successor.
Xue Bingbing looked away from Xu Longjie, her face full of shock.
She thought that she was Xu Yuansheng's absolute confidant, and she had never disobeyed Xu Yuansheng in any way, but she didn't even know these secrets.
But Xue Bingbing was more worried.
What is the purpose of Tianwang Division in moving out all the master's family assets?
Xue Bingbing glanced at Xu Yuansheng.
Sure enough, the master's face looked ugly, ashen as ever.
In fact, even Xu Wenqing looked astonished. Even her own daughter did not know the secrets in the execution hall.
She was also stunned by her father's treasure.
Pei Fengkong and Yan Jingfei looked at each other, their eyes filled with anger and luck, but still a little entangled.
The three great Celestial Masters of the New Heavenly Army fought openly and secretly, among which Wei Celestial Master and Qi Tianshi fought most fiercely.
If Xu Yuansheng's treasure is successfully transported back by Qi Tianshi, then Wei Tianshi will be very passive.
After all, the New Heavenly Army is an army, and countless righteous people need money to eat, drink, and have sex.
After all, they are members of the New Heavenly Army. Even if Qi Tianshi is annoying, he can still be considered one of his own.
What Qi Tianshi wants is power, nothing more.
And when the Skynet Division gets the resources, they want to kill them with bloody knives.
The Tianwang Division kills people, but it doesn't matter which heavenly master you are under.
Damn it!
Pei Fengkong gritted his teeth.
He fantasized about whether he would get Xu Yuansheng's treasure if he married Xu Wenqing.
If you put this treasure in front of Wei Tianshi, what kind of powerful inheritance will you get?
Damn it.
Useless Xu Yuansheng, it’s all your fault for being blind.
The Xingtang was infiltrated into a sieve by the Skynet Division, but you didn't even know it.
A trash hammer.
The rivers and lakes are wild and grassy, and it is indeed difficult to create a climate.
…
"This old guy Xu Yuansheng secretly accumulated so many treasures, so he wants to pave the way for his daughter to reach the fifth rank!"
The leader of Xiyue Sect couldn't help but sigh.
Several sect leaders around him nodded in agreement.
This old beast has a terrible mind.
On the surface, he looks sanctimonious, but in reality he is ruthless and can still save money quietly.
With so many resources, he must be preparing to break through to the sixth level.
"Haha, do you remember? Xu Yuansheng was crying about poverty some time ago and wanted to borrow money from us!"
The leader of the Red Lu Sect laughed at himself.
"I also lent Xu Yuan Sheng a few pills to help his daughter break through... You beast, you are so shameless, you are so shameless right down to your bones!"
Another sect leader also sneered.
At that time, he also laughed at Xu Yuansheng behind his back for pretending to be fat. If he took such a big step even though he had no money, he would end up screwing up sooner or later.
Now it seems that the clown is actually himself.
"What do you think the Tianwang Division will do with Xu Yuansheng's wealth?"
The leader of the Chilu Sect has a strange yin and yang character.
"What? Xu Yuansheng's wealth? Haha... This is obviously the rebel's supplies... Of course the Skynet Division has appropriated it... No, it's to replenish the treasury for the imperial court!"
The other sect leader was also sneering.
How sad.
No matter how much you, Xu Yuansheng, has ulterior motives, what can you do in the face of the imperial hawks?
The leader of Xiyue Sect carefully looked at the found property.
fine!
The life-sustaining pill that saved his life was not found.
Three Cunning Rabbit Cave.
With Xu Yuansheng's cunning, he would definitely keep this priceless treasure close to his heart.
Speaking of which, my son has been out for so long and it’s time to come back.
He was not afraid of Shi Yingnan's disappearance. His son valued his twin sister and he did not dare to disobey him.
…
"This amount of money is enough to cover one year's taxes from Yundong Province!"
Gao Tingzhen squinted his eyes and sighed in his heart.
It's not easy to save so much treasure in a vast world.
"Someone...make a list of levels, transport all these rebel supplies back to the capital, and put them into the national treasury!"
Gao Tingzhen gave the order directly without any expression on his face.
"As you command!"
After receiving the order, the eyes of the warriors from the Skynet Division turned red, as if two masses of magma were rolling.
Of course, it is impossible for all this wealth to be deposited into the national treasury.
The Skynet Division has the right to withhold part of it.
As for how much this part is, it is entirely up to Gao Tingzhen.
Eighty percent?
Seventy percent?
At least 50% should be deducted!
In short, I made a fortune.
Even if you drink some soup and water, you will really get rich.
The whole place was silent.
Seeing that huge resources are about to be transported away, everyone's hearts are bleeding.
It was a raw feeling of tearing apart.
People can only sigh again in their hearts.
really.
The fastest way to make a fortune is to divide the big fish.
A whale falls and everything comes alive!
This time, it was Tianwangsi who was full.
"Commander Gao...please...please show your respect!"
Xu Yuansheng couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes were red and he clasped his fists, his words full of pleading.
That aloof expression has long been replaced by worry and haggard.
How could he offend the court?
But Xingtang is his hard work. Once he loses this wealth, what will he do to go to the capital to buy Shengsheng Dan?
Even if he has the Ascension Pill, he still needs other pills to assist him in his practice.
silver!
silver!
silver!
Silver is used everywhere.
My daughter has just broken through to the fourth level, which is the critical moment to consolidate her foundation. I still have to find a way to help my daughter improve her foundation.
Although Xiyue Sect's diseased rice plant has miraculous effects and can promote the girl's bones to white jade.
But the white jade bones are also divided into high, medium and low grades. I can't let my daughter stop moving forward.
"Xu Yuansheng, do you know who you are?"
"A guy like you is qualified to plead with me?"
"I spared your life this time, which is enough mercy! This is also because you have done a lot of things for the court. Otherwise, just the crime of harboring rebels would be enough to put you on death row for trial."
Gao Tingzhen's gaze rested on Xu Yuansheng's face. His aloof expression was like an elephant's feet trampling an ant.
"I……"
Xu Yuansheng's eyes were blood red.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say anything.
If you offend the Skynet Division, you can escape.
You can even join the rebels.
You can defect to the enemy country.
A dignified person of the fifth rank, wherever he goes, he is always a welcome guest.
But what about my daughter!
Not to mention that my daughter is not the daughter-in-law of Prince Luan's family, even if she marries into Prince Luan's house, she may still be captured by the Skynet Division.
My daughter must take the right path.
Exhausted mentally and physically, the wrinkles at the corners of Xu Yuansheng's eyes became deeper, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
Xue Bingbing was worried at the side.
Xu Wenqing looked at Pei Fengkong again and again, and winked at her lover again and again.
You are the prince of chaos, please say something for my father.
You stand up and say something.
Junior Brother Pei, can't you see that my father is having a hard time?
Her heartbeat quickened, as if there was a nest of ants living in her heart, and she was on fire.
But Pei Fengkong had no expression on his face and was completely aloof from the incident.
…
Outside the villa.
A motorcade came slowly.
There are all kinds of property in the fleet, and the chariots are also magnificent. They are two extremes from the desolate rustic style of Yundong Province.
The imperial censor Dong Xiyao was ordered by the emperor to personally come to Yundong Province to read out the imperial edict.
First, commend Qi Jiecheng for his meritorious service in the war.
Second, read out the imperial edict and order the successor of Beiying Fei to come to Beijing immediately... to meet the Holy Spirit.
As soon as Dong Xiyao came out of the governor's mansion, his first stop was Helan Villa.
This is an inconspicuous small sect in the world, but the disciples in this sect are extraordinary.
In the battle of Qi Qicheng, he made many military exploits, and every stroke was a miracle.
Dong Xiyao was originally born in the military. When he was young, he fought in the north and south. He most admired young people who risked their lives on the battlefield.
After hearing Lao Liu's deeds, Dong Xiyao said that Potian also wanted to meet Lao Liu.
What's more, this sixth man is the heir recognized by Northern Eagle Flying General.
Dong Xiyao was once Su Zhannan's personal guard. General Su told him more than once that he must go to Helan Villa to announce the decree in person to Zu Laoliu.
Governor Jiang Guangzhong was Dong Xiyao's benefactor. His rapid rise in official circles was indispensable without the support of Jiang Guangzhong's connections.
Since I came to Yundong Province, I must be the first to pay homage to my benefactor.
Because he carried the imperial edict issued to Qin Jinyang, even Jiang Guangzhong, the governor, had the intention to come in person.
It's a pity that the governor is the highest official in the entire province after all, and he is so entangled in trivial matters that he can't leave at all.
But Jiang Guangzhong reminded himself more than once that he must reward Helan Villa well and give Zulaoliu cards.
Although he has not yet met the old Liu Qin Jinyang, Dong Xiyao has already classified Qin Jinyang as one of his own.
"Uncle Dong... hurry up, hurry up... the team is too slow!"
Jiang Xingyang was furious.
Qi Qicheng said goodbye. He hadn't seen his sixth brother for several days and missed him very much.
Heart-wrenching thoughts.
Originally he was supposed to go back to Yuzhi Academy, but he happened to meet Dong Xiyao coming to visit his uncle, so he followed him to Helan Villa.
When Jiang Xingyang was young, Dong Xiyao often went in and out of his uncle's house. It could be said that he was watched by the latter as he grew up. The two had a very good relationship. Jiang Xingyang was not even older than he was younger and treated Dong Xiyao as his brother.
In front of Dong Xiyao, Jiang Xingyang jumped up and down.
Listening to the gossip among the elders, it seems that Uncle Dong secretly liked his mother when he was young, which was also a bad fate.
Unfortunately, my mother died early.
"Haha, I'm not declaring an imperial edict to you. Why are you so anxious... You should go back to Yuzhi Academy immediately!"
"In this battle in Qiji City, you will become famous in the academy, and you will definitely get a lot of rewards... You must practice hard and break through to the fourth rank as soon as possible."
Dong Xiyao smiled.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Xingyang's face.
Very handsome.
So much like her.
It's a pity...it's a pity...
It would be great if it was my son.
"No matter how many rewards I get, it's all because of my sixth brother. I have to thank my benefactor in person!"
Jiang Xingyang looked into the distance with an anxious expression.
"Master Yushi, ahead is Helan Villa!"
A warrior in the team suddenly shouted.
"arrive?"
Jiang Xingyang's eyes lit up and he jumped to the top of a big tree.
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, there was a towering mountain in the distance, with many magnificent buildings faintly visible on the mountain.
It's finally here.
I'm so anxious.
…
The imperial convoy arrived at the mountain gate.
But the mountain guard in front of me is not a disciple of the villa.
He is actually from the imperial court!
Dong Xiyao and Jiang Xingyang looked at each other, and the censor team also stopped.
Someone from the Skynet Division?
Did you go the wrong way?
The duty of the Skynet Division is to catch the rebels. Why are they coming to Helan Villa?
"I am humble enough to pay my respects to Mr. Dong!"
Tianwang Si, who was in charge of blocking the door, suddenly knelt down and said respectfully.
He identified it carefully and quickly recognized it as Dong Xiyao, his former boss.
"Hey...it's you little bastard...hahaha!"
Dong Xiyao looked at it, then suddenly walked forward, slapped the leader on the back of the neck, and laughed.
When I was fighting in the army, this little kid was my own soldier and was always following me. He wanted to block arrows for me again, which was really a bit frightening.
"Boy, when did you get transferred to the Skynet Division?"
Dong Xiyao asked again.
When he met an old friend in a foreign country, he was still a subordinate he had been close to, especially when his subordinate had become successful, he was filled with joy and felt very comfortable.
"Your Majesty... I'm in a humble position... Hehehehe!"
The leader stood up and looked at Dong Xiyao quietly.
Mr. Dong has been promoted again, and this official position is getting bigger and bigger.
So good!
However, I have not embarrassed the adults, and I am doing well now.
"What happened in there?"
Jiang Xingyang interrupted the two people's reminiscence and asked anxiously.
He looked around carefully and saw that there were many warriors from the Skynet Division nearby, and they had already surrounded the villa.
This is not normal.
"Is it a secret operation of the Skynet Division? If it's inconvenient, don't say anything!"
Dong Xiyao knows how special the Skynet Division is.
Although this leader is his old subordinate, he has already performed his duties after all, and the court has its own rules.
"this……"
The leader frowned and thought hard.
If it were yesterday, he would really not dare to reveal his actions.
But now the Skynet Division has begun to close the net, arresting those who should be caught, and killing those who should be killed. The operation is not a secret.
"Sir, there is indeed something wrong with Helan Villa... This sect has a torture hall, which has been infiltrated by the rebels. There are rebel members from top to bottom, and it has long been a nest for the rebels... The owner of the Villa secretly
After accumulating a lot of wealth, the rebels tried to steal it and use it as military expenses. Fortunately, Commander Gao investigated and found out."
The leader briefly explained the problem of the villa in two sentences.
"What...rebels..."
Jiang Xingyang was stunned.
How stupid is the Sixth Brother's master? He was actually infiltrated into the base camp by the rebels.
Fortunately, the village owner was not a rebel, otherwise he would not have known how to explain to his sixth brother.
But according to what the leader said, all the property in the villa will be taken away by the Skynet Division.
This is digging a grave.
If the resources are confiscated, the sect will be disbanded.
"Uncle Dong, you have to help Lanshan Villa. It's not easy for the Villa to get to where it is now, but it's the hard work of Sixth Brother's mentor!"
Jiang Xingyang said hurriedly.
In his heart, with Qin Jinyang's strength, he must be the owner of the village.
Qin Jinyang didn't explain much at first, and everyone acquiesced.
The sixth brother is his benefactor, and the sixth brother's master is his own master.
Since he is his own master, he must help.
Jiang Xingyang knew in his heart that the amount of property confiscated was actually all decided by the Skynet Division.
Not only the Tianwang Division, but also all the officials and subordinates of the imperial court were just looking at what others were doing.
Helan Villa has no background. Anyone who is related to the emperor or a relative will not be confiscated. At most, 20% to 30% will be confiscated symbolically.
"I'll try my best... Gao Tingzhen should be able to give me some face!"
Dong Xiyao frowned and finally nodded.
But it's a bit difficult.
Everyone in the Skynet Division also needs to eat. The reason why they are willing to work hard to catch the rebels is because they have plenty of money.
Silver is always the last word.
But confiscating half of it is interesting enough.
According to the rules, 30% to 50% is the upper limit.
Xu Yuansheng just has no background or support.
"Mr. Dong, please discuss these matters with Mr. Gao! I am just a small leader and cannot make the decision!"
The leader smiled bitterly.
He even felt a little disappointed.
Dong Xiyao helps the villa withhold the wealth, and their Tianwang chief Zayu will have to drink less soup.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Who would have thought that Xu Yuansheng's background is so unfathomable.
"More than 20 years ago, Gao Tingzhen and I were both in Yuzhi Academy. I was his senior brother, and we were both teachers and friends. He would give me this respect!"
Seeing Jiang Xingyang's anxious face, Dong Xiyao patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.
In fact, even without the friendship with Yuzhi Academy, Gao Tingzhen still had to give face to Helan Villa.
After all, Gao Tingzhen couldn't refute Su Zhannan's reputation.
Governor Jiang Guangzhong's reputation cannot be refuted by Gao Tingzhen.
Gao Tingzhen did not dare to refute the prince's face.
This old man has a huge energy behind him.
"Sir, please come in!"
The leader gave the order to let go of the blockade.
The convoy slowly went up the mountain.
…
Under the mountain!
Qin Jinyang flew all the way. Even though he had recovered to the third level, his energy was still exhausted. He happened to pass by a small town and had to come down and take a rest.
This town is the closest to Helan Villa, so he is the most familiar with it.
In the teahouse.
Qin Jinyang was recovering his vitality while listening to the latest news in the villa.
Click!
Suddenly, he crushed the teacup in his hand.
The storyteller didn't know where the news came from, and was recounting the details of the torture of the leader of the Hall of Health and Welfare by Master Xu Zhuang.
He told about Xiyue Zong Lu Soshen.
Under this person's torture, the victim suffered a hundred times more pain than Lingchi's execution.
Crackling!
Qin Jinyang was so angry that he spread out his thunder wings and flew out. Even the door was smashed to pieces by the impact.
…
Everyone in the teahouse was shocked and suffocated.
"Has... the God of Thunder descended to earth?"
A tea guest murmured to himself.
Snap!
The storyteller quickly came to his senses.
"Not long ago, a convoy passed through the town. Do you know who was in the convoy?"
The storyteller has a mysterious expression.
Everyone's thoughts returned.
"When the censors of the dynasty carry the emperor's imperial edict with them...Have you ever heard of Lao Liu in Qiji City? I guess that the censor's motorcade is related to Lao Liu..."
