The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 34: Complaint, Gluttonous Feast (Please read and collect)

An hour later, Wei Jinkui left with great satisfaction. He strode away, and although his steps were steady, his speed was extremely fast.

A century-old family, even one that only occupies one county, actually has a very strong network of relationships.

Therefore, when a pack of wolves share the food, they are in a hurry.

After Chu Zhou sent Wei Jinkui out the door, he slowly put away his smile when he saw him go away.

When I returned to the courtyard, there were already four people sitting around the small square table.

Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu, and Fan Zhong, they stared at the land deed on the square table with their eyes almost bulging out.

"These five hundred acres of fertile land are the fertile land of our Xuanzhen Temple, right?"

"Who says it's not? Look at the places marked above. The size and location are all the same."

"So, Master Wei Wu has returned these fields to us again?"

"It was less than five months ago. Five months ago, we gave away the good farmland, and five months later, it was returned to us without even a rent payment.

It’s really, really incredible!”

As they said this, the three of them looked at Chu Zhou with expressions of reverence on their faces.

Chu Zhou, on the other hand, acted very calm. He took a quick look and asked, "Tell me, what did you see from this land deed?"

Yi Huai spoke the fastest: "Brother is awesome, brother is mighty!"

"Don't flatter me!"

Chu Zhou grinned, wanting to laugh, but he held back: "Xu Cheng, can you tell me?"

“Returning this land deed means that we will have an equal relationship from now on. Master Wei Wu is a man of particulars.

But, if Wei Fangjie were to become our junior fellow apprentice, wouldn’t it be a little… a little… inappropriate!”

"What's wrong with having you as my senior brother? Are you afraid that you can't control me?"

Xu Cheng smiled shyly, which was considered as his agreement. There was nothing he could do, as they were only thirteen years old and had just started learning martial arts.

And Wei Fangjie is already twenty years old, and is a martial artist who has achieved success in the physical realm. He is also considered a well-known young talent in Baisha City.

Now that I have become their junior fellow apprentice, they are afraid that they won’t be able to control me, right?
In response, Chu Zhou simply said: "Senior brother is senior brother, junior brother is junior brother!"

After a pause, he looked at Fan Tiehu again and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, what do you think?"

Fan Tiehu is a man of few words, but his words are concise and to the point. He simply said, "He wants to learn the martial arts of our Xuanzhen Temple."

Chu Zhou nodded, but then shook his head: "What you said is not right, at least not completely right."

"The reason why we can take back everything from Xuanzhen Temple, and even more, is not because of anything else, but because our fists are hard enough and our strength is strong enough. We will be even stronger in the future.

So, they will just give us back what we already have, and even give us more.”

"So, what should you do now?"

"Practice martial arts!"*3
"Go!"

"Yes!"

The three little ones went to practice martial arts again, but this time, they were more energetic.

After the three kids left, Chu Zhou looked at Tian Qi and couldn't help but smile. He then looked at Fan Zhong, who had been silent, and said, "I told you that anything you took from us must be returned to me."

Fan Zhong lowered his head slightly and said sincerely: "The master of the temple is mighty!"

"Okay, get busy!"

Those who needed to practice martial arts practiced martial arts, and those who needed to be busy were busy. After sending everyone away, Chu Zhou sat back in his original seat.

He was in a very good mood, very happy, but there was not much youthful pride and arrogance in him.

After just a moment of happiness, he forced himself to calm down and think carefully about what had happened, the gains and losses, and even the future path.

It should be said that with Wei Jinkui's frankness, Chu Zhou finally had a clear understanding of the upper structure of Baisha City.

Even if it's not all, and not necessarily objective, Chu Zhou is willing to believe him 90%.

Originally it was only 60%, but in the end, his move of returning the land deed and asking Wei Fangjie to join Xuanzhen Temple increased the reliability by 30% out of thin air.

There is a saying that goes, don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does. Judging from Wei Jinkui's actions, he is willing to put the Wei family and Xuanzhen Temple together.

Since they are willing to bind themselves, he naturally has nothing to worry about.

The most commendable thing is that he did not say all this right away, but waited until Chu Zhou made a decision before speaking.

The Tianqi said it very clearly, it is a return!
As for Wei Fangjie's apprenticeship, according to his wishes, he would offer a generous apprenticeship gift and hold a grand ceremony.

This is considered to be giving enough face.

As for the "Raging Dragon 2.0" that the Wei family coveted, Chu Zhou was more open-minded. It was just a martial art. If you are willing to learn it, I would be happy to teach you!
Stand up, raise your hands, stretch yourself,
Amid the crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other, Chu Zhou's figure first expanded to two meters, then shrank to one and a half meters.

After returning to normal, he waved his hands, twisted his hips, and did a few stretching exercises. He just felt relaxed all over, both physically and mentally.

This comfort and relaxation is not only physical, but also psychological.

Because he knew clearly that after today, Xuanzhen Temple would be truly accepted by Baisha City, with a signboard erected and peace and stability.

He hasn't felt this way for a long time.

However, looking at the land deed on the table, Chu Zhou suddenly had a strange thought in his mind. A pack of wolves sharing food.
Therefore, the situation that the Xue family is facing now is very similar to that of Xuanzhen Temple back then!
I just don’t know, does this mean good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil?

Or, will the dragon slayer eventually become the evil dragon?
The messy thoughts only disturbed him for a moment before Chu Zhou put them behind his head. He leaped and reached the open space outside the yard.

With fists in hand, they started fighting slowly and leisurely, using the same Seven Moves of Wandering Dragon, but without the fierceness or sharpness, only the roundness and freedom of movement, which allowed them to attack and repel as they pleased.

On the surface, his speed was getting slower and slower, like an old grandfather practicing Tai Chi, but in fact, the strength in his body had already gathered into a river, rushing like a flood.

His energy and blood were like the vast ocean, embracing everything and washing away everything, rising and falling in tides, moving freely.

But all of this was firmly under his control, flowing with his mind, as he pleased, rushing wherever he wanted, without any leakage.

However, this slow punch has already stirred up the storm in the outside world.

The air, like a sticky liquid, was stirred by his hands and feet, forming tornadoes that were some big, some small, some wide, and some flat.

The grass and trees on the ground were flying, and the dust was rising. Every time he punched or stomped his feet, there was an air explosion, with visible shock waves spreading outward.

The three little ones had already stopped practicing their boxing. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them, as if they were watching a myth.

As for the thatched hut behind them, it even seemed to be crumbling due to the repeated air explosions.

Roar……

Finally, Chu Zhou slowly stopped his attack, but the grass and dust turned into an angry dragon, circling in the air, roaring non-stop.

After staying there for a while, Chu Zhou opened his eyes again, but the outside world was calm.

He heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling full of energy and in the best possible condition.

Late stage of body tempering?

No, the body tempering has been completed!
And with his current control over strength, qi and blood, he can practice internal training at any time and become a martial artist.

……

A pack of wolves sharing the food is just a saying, but when it comes to practical implementation, how should it be done specifically?

Chu Zhou was very curious about this!

And the county magistrate did not disappoint him. In the afternoon when Wei Jinkui returned, someone came to his door and beat a drum.

The rumbling sound of the drum startled countless people. Then, the county magistrate came to the court and the woman filed a lawsuit, accusing the Xue family of taking human life and harming her young son.

The woman's surname was Feng. Her husband died early, and she raised two children alone. She made a living by washing clothes. It could be said that her life was quite difficult.

But even so, he still sent his youngest son to the private school run by the Xue family, hoping that he would be able to read and write. Even if he could not achieve fame and success, he might be able to help people keep accounts and do accounting, and become a shopkeeper, so that he could earn a living and live a better life.

In fact, the saying "the poor are good at literature but the rich are good at martial arts" is very true, because martial arts require improvement, and medicated food, food supplements, pills, and medicated baths are not something that an ordinary family can afford.

On the contrary, if you study literature, as long as you have some talent, you will have a greater chance of changing your destiny.

To be honest, the woman's youngest son is quite capable. At a young age, he knows his mother's hard work and studies very hard. Moreover, he is very pretty and likable, and is often praised by his teacher.

But the bad thing was that one day, the county magistrate, Mr. Xue, had a sudden inspiration and went to the private school and met the young boy.

When the woman found her son again, what she saw was a cold corpse.

As for the woman, she had reported the case to the authorities before, but the case was suppressed.

But this time, no one pressed!

It is said that above the lobby, under the plaque with a bright mirror hanging high, the county magistrate was furious and immediately sent Captain Wang to seal off the Xue Mansion.

County Magistrate Xue died, but none of those evil slaves escaped.

But this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, countless major cases, important cases, and murder cases involving the Xue family were uncovered.

The Xue family is a centuries-old family, and the position of county magistrate has even become exclusive to the Xue family. Although they have accumulated a large amount of wealth, the sins they have committed and the laws they have violated are too numerous to list!

After all these were uncovered, the Xue family's reputation became worse than that stinking ditch.

It is said that the second son of the Xue family was lobbying the dean at the academy and had already achieved results.

The headmaster was willing to write a letter for him to his former classmate and superior, the county magistrate, to inquire about the matter.

But when the news came, the headmaster almost scolded the second son of the Xue family like a dog, tore up the letter in front of him, and directly expelled him from the academy.

Well, no matter what happens behind the scenes, reputation is extremely important if you want to go far as a civil servant.

This is also the reason why the county magistrate first ruined the Xue family's reputation.

Because, with the Xue family being so notorious, no one would be willing to lend a helping hand.

Then, these cases were reopened, investigated one by one, and settled one by one.

What about murder and robbery, what about forced buying and selling, what about usury, what about forcing women into prostitution...

The Xue family really did all of these.

Later on, it was not just the officialdom that was affected. Even among the people and in Baisha City, it caused a trend and public outrage. The Xue Mansion had become a notorious place.

Of course, what the people cannot see is that beneath the water is a feast for the upper echelons of Baisha City!
