In the small garden of the Zishan Sect, Xu Zun and Zhuang Jingchen were walking and talking.
Zhuang Jingcheng was telling him about the historical origins of Xiazhou and Yonghui.
"When Taizu Li Xuanzhen regained Xiazhou, King Xia was willing to surrender to Daxuan, but he put forward several conditions," Zhuang Jingcheng said. "The most important condition is of course to retain the throne of the Ruan family and allow it to be hereditary, etc.
"Among these conditions, Daxuan cannot station troops in Yonghui."
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "So it is not an unwritten rule that troops cannot be stationed in Yonghui?"
"Yes, this agreement is not only verifiable, but also shows that King Xia attaches great importance to our land of Yonghui." Zhuang Jingcheng said, "There are natural dangers blocking the way from Hanzhou and Shuzhou to Xiazhou, but only
You can drive straight in through Yonghui, so the king of Xia wrote the terms.
"Taizu thought that Xiazhou was an uncivilized and barbaric land and was not suitable for expeditions, so he agreed to the conditions of King Xia and from then on merged Xiazhou into our Daxuan territory.
"And I, Emperor Daxuan, have kept my promise and have never stationed troops in Yonghui since the founding of the country!"
oh……
Xu Zun understood that because of this, Yonghui became a vacuum zone, causing the county government to become a decoration, and so many gangs and gangs were established.
"So, is the Xiazhou Ruan family... very powerful?" Xu Zun asked.
"It's not that powerful, right? In the past, he was just a local emperor in Xiazhou. Even though he had some strength, he was still far behind my Daxuan." Zhuang Jingcheng replied, "However, since Ruan Changkong was born decades ago, things seem to have changed.
There have been some changes.”
"Ruan Changkong?" Xu Zun searched his memory, but no relevant content popped up.
"Master Xu doesn't even know about the famous shaman leader, right?" Zhuang Jingcheng introduced, "Ruan Changkong is the uncle of the current Xia King Ruan Wenyu. He is not only the best in martial arts, but also has great appeal.
"Under his influence, Xiazhou's strength has improved today, and it should be stronger than before."
oh……
After hearing Zhuang Jingcheng's introduction, Xu Zun fell into deep thought again.
First, Qiu Dingtian died in Xiazhou, and the iron coffin case was related to the Ruan family in Xiazhou.
Secondly, this evil ghost murder case seems to have a vague intention to target Xiazhou.
And the most important point is, is the purpose of the Queen Mother sending herself to Yonghui also related to Xiazhou?
"Sir, don't worry. A wild land will always be a wild land." Zhuang Jingcheng guessed Xu Zun's thoughts and immediately said with relief, "A mere Xiazhou, no matter how powerful it is, how can it pose a threat to Daxuan?"
?It’s not enough to cause trouble at all, it’s not enough to cause trouble..."
"Elder Zhuang," Xu Zun thought for a while, then changed the subject and asked, "What do you mean by the words that Master Wanqi complained about you before he died?"
"This...I don't know!" Zhuang Jingcheng frowned and said, "To be honest, Sect Master Wanqi does have some discord with us elders, but we really can't figure out why he said such things.
"It feels like he should be the one who wants to destroy the Zishan Sect, right?"
"Why did Elder Zhuang say this?" Xu Zun was curious.
"You may have heard," Zhuang Jingcheng said, "that Master Wanqi's temperament has changed drastically in recent years, and he has become extremely radical. He always does things unscrupulously and leaves no room for error. He is as good as the flower corpse of the Tan Gang.
.
"We, the elders, naturally tried to persuade him many times, hoping that he would restrain himself. But instead of listening, he even got into trouble with us, and the relationship was very bad."
Zhuang Jingcheng's words, Li Ronger indeed said to Xu Zun that under the leadership of Wan Qifeng, the Zishan Sect has been arrogant and domineering in recent years, domineering and doing very extreme things.
This can be seen only through their seizure of the large warehouse site after Yan Sen's death.
"Master Xu," Zhuang Jingcheng said to Xu Zun, clasping his fists, "Actually, our Zishan sect was not like this before. There are certainly some means to establish a sect and expand the family, but things like killing people in the street cannot be done no matter what.
But now, alas..."
After Zhuang Jingcheng finished speaking, he naturally waited for Xu Zun to continue.
However, Xu Zun didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes were focused on one place, and he didn't respond for a long time.
"Mr. Xu...Mr. Xu?" Zhuang Jingcheng raised his voice and asked, "Are you...are you okay?"
Hearing the call, Xu Zun calmed down and said, "Okay, I know all of this!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xu," Zhuang Jingcheng said sincerely, "from now on we will definitely restrain our disciples and we will never break the law or discipline again.
"From now on, our Zishan faction will resolutely support the county government and uphold our Daxuan laws. Well... Mr. Xu, I hope you will bear with me regarding the matter of Head Wanqi!"
Xu Zun understood what he meant. After all, Wan Qifeng represented the Zishan Sect. If this matter was reported to the court, the Zishan Sect would definitely be blamed.
If they had not taken decisive action at Guanlan Palace and helped Xu Zun and others, they would have been severely punished in the future, and might even have been in danger of being exterminated.
"Elder Zhuang," Xu Zun looked at Zhuang Jingcheng extremely seriously and said, "If you want to keep your Zishan Sect, it depends on your performance.
"Now I have an opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds. I wonder, are you willing?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhuang Jingcheng hurriedly bowed to the end and promised, "The Purple Mountain Sect is willing to listen to Master Xu's orders..."
…
An hour later, at the Kuhe Pier, there was a wine shop where a ghost murder occurred.
Xu Zun sat on a seat by the river, holding a pot of freshly boiled wine and taking a sip.
Because it is brewed with bitter river water, the wine has a pungent bitterness, but for some reason, after sipping the taste, this bitterness is slightly sweet.
Could it be... is this the legendary happiness that comes after all hardships?
Ta, da...
At this time, Li Ronger, who was wrapped in gauze, staggered to sit in front of Xu Zun.
"Gang Leader Li," Xu Zun was a little surprised and said hurriedly, "You are so seriously injured, you should rest in the car!"
Li Ronger stared at Xu Zun blankly. After staring for a long time, she actually took the wine bottle from Xu Zun's hand, then raised her neck and took a big sip.
Seeing this, Xu Zun knew that Li Ronger had something to say, so he had to wink at Zhao Yu and others, and Zhao Yu and others exited the wine shop, leaving only the two of them.
"Master Xu..." Li Ronger put down the wine bottle and looked at Xu Zun with complex eyes for a long time before saying, "Since there is a traitor around me, by analogy, the same will happen around Yan Sen and Tao Lang!"
"Well," Xu Zun nodded, "that's why I came here to re-investigate the scene."
"My sister is dead," Li Ronger said expressionlessly, "Help me find out the murderer behind the scenes, Sanhe Gang will give it to you!"
Although Li Ronger's face was expressionless, her tears were falling silently.
"That's serious," Xu Zun said, "It seems that Gang Leader Li also thinks that the mastermind of this case is not Wan Qifeng alone?"
"Such a big game cannot be completed by Wanqifeng alone!" Li Ronger said, "Besides, the chaos in Yonghui will not be good for their Zishan sect. I really can't think of why they would do this!
"I also want to know, why do they do this?
"Cough cough... cough cough..." After coughing for a while, she added, "And... just call me Ronger from now on..."
