Volume 2 Fengqi Anxi House Chapter 142 Anxi Academy
"You should do it on your own, I am a scholar."
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
"Scholar?" The man with a sinister eyebrow smiled and said to the people around him, "Did you see that in this world, scholars are forced to live in [Yingtian Restaurant]!"
"you……"
Bai Xiaosu wanted to defend.
"Let's eat vegetables!"
Lu Jiuzhang stopped him.
There's no need to argue with these people, it's better to eat first, it's almost cold.
…
Changshui County.
Wang Xiancheng paced around the room. After a while, he shouted loudly, "Butler, butler!"
"master!"
The housekeeper quickly opened the door and ran in. He bowed aside and waited for Wang Xian Cheng to give orders.
"Is there still no news about the evil cultivator from Ghost Sword Sect?" Wang Xian Cheng asked with a gloomy face.
"I just got the information that there was a battle outside the city of Anxi Prefecture. A person who was suspected of being an evil cultivator was killed by a thunderbolt!" the housekeeper said.
"Killed by the sky thunder? How is it possible?" Wang Xiancheng didn't believe it, "Then Lu Jiuzhang is really so capable? He is only at the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism, how can he summon the sky thunder?"
"Master, do you still remember Miaodi Village?" the housekeeper asked.
"Are you saying that in Miaodi Village, there was a thunderstorm that killed a ninth-level martial arts monster into ashes?" Wang Xiancheng said, "It seems that Lu Jiuzhang was also present that time!"
At that time, Wang Xiancheng had no conflict with Lu Jiuzhang, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter.
"That's right!" The housekeeper nodded, "I think this thunder has something to do with Lu Jiuzhang!"
"How is it possible?" Wang Xiancheng looked unbelieving, "That thunder can only be emitted by the fifth or even fourth grade of Confucianism and Taoism! Lu Jiuzhang is only the ninth grade of Confucianism and Taoism, the gap is too far!"
"Is it possible that Lu Jiuzhang is accompanied by a master?" the housekeeper asked.
"It's even more impossible!" Wang Xiancheng shook his head, "If there were people of the fifth level of Confucianism and Taoism accompanying him, Lu Jiuzhang would still hide in Tibet? A strong person of the fifth level of Confucianism and Taoism is always a guest no matter where he is.
"
"Why should you look at my eyes and even be expelled from Changshui County by me?"
Wang Xiancheng did not believe that Lu Jiuzhang had such a powerful force, "No matter what, Lu Jiuzhang has disgraced me and broken my nephew's legs. There is no way I can let him live."
"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only ask the prefect for help."
"Grind the ink for me, and I will write a letter of divorce. You send someone to deliver it to the prefect of Anxi Mansion. After all, they are from the same faction. The prefect should not sit idly by and ignore it."
"How much money does our family have? Give some away. Even if the prefect doesn't want to do anything, for the sake of the money, he will arrange for someone to help me."
Wang County Cheng said slowly.
"Bang bang bang..."
Just when Wang County Cheng was giving instructions, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
Wang Xian Cheng had a dark face. He and the housekeeper were discussing important matters. The boy was so mean-spirited that he knocked on the door at this juncture.
"Squeak..."
The next second, the door to the room was pushed open, and a boy rushed in in a panic.
The boy looked extremely nervous and said hurriedly, "Master, something has happened. A secret message has been sent!"
"Secret letter?" Wang Xiancheng took the envelope from the boy's hand and read it carefully.
His face was livid, as if water was dripping from his face.
"You go out first!" the butler said to the boy.
After the boy had gone far away, the butler asked, "Sir, what happened?"
"The Hero Village has been destroyed!" Wang Xiancheng tore the secret letter in his hand to pieces, furious, "There is news that the Hero Village was destroyed by a young man, a big black dog, and a young girl.
of."
"If it's not that guy Lu Jiuzhang, who else could it be?"
Wang County Cheng was furious.
Hero Village is the main source of income for Wang County Cheng.
Now that the hero's village has been destroyed, it is really difficult to build a similar bandit den and still do it silently.
"Master, calm down!" the steward advised, "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only turn to the prefect. Lu Jiuzhang must be dealt with, otherwise it will not be enough to solve the hatred in the master's heart."
"In terms of silver, after excluding expenses, our palace still has about 530 taels of gold left."
"The prefect has too little money. I'm afraid the other party won't take action easily. The old slave suggested that three hundred taels of gold should be enough!" the steward suggested.
Previously, Wang Xiancheng wanted to ask the prefect to intervene and make the Demon Slayer Department of Anxi Prefecture remove Lu Jiuzhang from his position.
He also asked the prefect to send a group of masters to kill Lu Jiuzhang.
It looks very powerful, but in fact it was just Wang County Cheng who deliberately deceived the other party.
It was just to force Lu Jiuzhang to leave Changshui County and kill Lu Jiuzhang on the way to Anxi Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuzhang not only escaped from danger, but also lost his property.
This made Wang Xian Cheng even more angry.
"According to your request, three hundred taels of gold will be sent to the hands of the prefect." Wang Xiancheng said gloomily, "Yan Mo, I will write a letter, and you will go to Anxi Mansion in person and hand it over to the hands of the prefect."
"Remember, this letter cannot be blocked by Chen Xuanfeng, it must be secure."
The butler nodded, "Understood!"
…
Anxi Mansion, Yingtian Restaurant.
Lu Jiuzhang took the token, left the restaurant, and went to the bank first to exchange all the silver into gold and silver notes.
These things were easy to carry and were common throughout the Zhou Dynasty, which avoided a lot of trouble.
Prices in Anxi Prefecture are indeed much more expensive than in Changshui County, but they are not particularly outrageous.
That [Yingtian Restaurant] is really a scam. If the prices in Anxi Prefecture were so expensive, then everyone in the house would probably starve to death.
"Master Jiu, where should we go next?"
After coming out of the bank, the big black dog asked.
"Anxi Academy!"
Lu Jiuzhang said, "Let's go somewhere. It's the only academy in Anxi Prefecture. Let's go and see what's special about it."
In the final analysis, Lu Jiuzhang still wanted to see if there was any way to make progress in Confucianism and Taoism.
I have been stuck in the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism for some time.
Nowadays, martial arts has reached the eighth level, but Confucianism and Taoism still make no progress.
"What else is there to do in the academy?" The big black dog was a little reluctant.
"You can take a walk around Anxi Mansion and meet up at [Yingtian Restaurant] in the evening. Bring your token and no one will make things difficult for you."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
The token of [Yingtian Restaurant] is still very useful!
At least there shouldn't be any danger in Anxi Mansion.
Those people dumped all the graves of the prefect’s second uncle, isn’t it okay now?
Still alive and well!
This is enough to prove that living in [Yingtian Restaurant] is still very safe.
"Well, I'll go shopping with the Bai family girls. Master Jiu, you can go by yourself."
The big black dog nodded.
The one-armed villain was not interested in the academy either, so he followed the big black dog.
Lu Jiuzhang went to [Anxi Academy] alone.
The academy is in the east of the city, and it would take some time to get there. Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, so Lu Jiuzhang walked forward.
