Loan Wusheng

Chapter 67: Magical Bookboy (5k)

"Sir, did the county lieutenant really give you such a big house?"

Zheng Ping stood on the parade ground of the Zheng Residence, looking at the house with carved beams and painted rafters in front of her. She was a little dazed for a moment, and then she couldn't help but said, "Why don't you marry the county lieutenant's sister? Even if that sister is not so pretty, you can just grit your teeth and take her as a concubine later..."

"Forehead."

Zheng Jun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "Sister, this idea of yours is not right! A real man is born in this world, and he should use his fists to gain fame and fortune! If he relies on a big family and loses his original heart, wouldn't that bring shame to his ancestors?"

"Our ancestors are ashamed? If they knew that our family could marry into the Cai family, their graves would be filled with smoke!"

Zheng Ping rolled her eyes at Zheng Jun and continued, "Since you don't want to, then it's up to you. I won't mention it again. But let's start saving money from today and pay the county lieutenant back for the yard! I just don't know if you will be in trouble in the government office if you offend the county lieutenant."

"Don't worry, sister. I will handle this matter properly." Zheng Jun said with a smile, "Instead of thinking too much, why not come and see how I should deal with this yard? Sister and brother-in-law, please choose a room to live in."

"This is not okay."

After hearing what Zheng Jun said, Zheng Ping immediately shook her head like a rattle, and then said, "Your home is your home, and my home is my home! As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. After all, I am also a wife of the Zhou family, so how can I stay in my mother's home?"

"You gave your brother-in-law 100 taels of silver to raise money for a yard. Your brother-in-law has been busy these days and finally found one. Unexpectedly, the county lieutenant waved his hand and gave this place to you. It's really a waste of work."

After Zheng Ping sighed again, she pulled back her hand and tried to return the hundred-liang silver note to Zheng Jun.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but smile and continued, "One hundred taels, sister, take it. Since you don't want to live here, use the money to buy a new house nearby. In addition, please buy me some furniture."

After saying that, Zheng Jun took out another two hundred taels of silver notes.

For Zheng Jun, he has now escaped from the poverty line and achieved a well-off life.

Spend some money to buy furniture for yourself so that my sister and brother-in-law can live a better life.

Give it to peach and give it to Li.

After receiving the banknote from Zheng Jun, Zheng Ping was really shocked, with a complicated expression: "You have only been an official for a few days, how come you have so much money? Have you done anything to exploit the people? Jun, can you..."

"Don't worry, sister. I earned all this money by working hard, including rewards from bandits, rewards from the Qingshui Gang for treason, and daily food and wages." Zheng Jun said, "There are also gifts from superiors, such as the house."

Zheng Jun despised those officials who exploited the people. Let’s not talk about how to be an official, let’s just talk about interests.

How much money can you make by exploiting the common people?
Can you squeeze out a blood-benefiting pill?

It's simply that they don't dare to offend the local tyrants, so they only dare to do trivial things like dividing the people's money 30% and 70%.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ping couldn't help but sigh with emotion and felt extremely relieved, as if a big figure had appeared in her family.

Zheng Jun only delayed for a moment, then continued, "Sister, wait a moment. My brother-in-law has taken half a day off and will be home in the afternoon. I will go to Huichunlou to order some ducks and two jugs of fruit wine, and we will have a drink together."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to walk towards Huichun Tower.

Seeing this, Zheng Ping asked curiously, "You are such a high-ranking official, but you still have to go to people's homes to do things yourself? Can't you find a subordinate official to do things for you? I see that the county magistrates and county magistrates all ask their subordinates to buy wine and vegetables."

So Xu Dianshi and Tian Xiancheng are both dead now.

Zheng Jun thought about it in his heart, but he still coughed lightly and said to his sister: "We are brothers who will fight on the battlefield, not my servants. Why should I order you around? I'd better go by myself."

After saying that, Zheng Jun bowed and left.

However, he didn't really go to Huichunlou to buy duck and wine.

He was going to meet that 'Sun Bu' and tell him the intelligence he had gathered in order to get some credit.

As for what information?
Of course, the carrier pigeons of Meng Xian, the magistrate of Heishan County, all flew to the Yanshan Mountains.

Although Zheng Jun learned this information from 'Bo Zhangjiu', it did not prevent Zheng Jun from reporting it.

There's no big deal in reporting it anyway. What if the Pacification Office thinks I've done a good job and rewards me with two bottles of medicine? Wouldn't that be great?
Wait, why do you talk like a drug addict?

Zheng Jun suddenly felt a bit strange, but he quickly swept it away and walked into the Huichunlou restaurant. Before the waiter came forward to serve him, he heard Zheng Jun shouting, "Give me three roast ducks and three catties of jujube wine. Take them away!"

Zheng Jun was now a well-known figure in Heishan County, so the waiters naturally recognized him. The shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile and flattered him, "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll be right over!"

After saying that, the shopkeeper quickly called a servant and asked the kitchen staff to prepare the dishes.

Zheng Jun pretended to be casual, glanced at the waiter, ordered 'Sun Bu', and said casually: "Let's take him. Let him bring the duck fruit wine and go back with me later."

"what?"

The shopkeeper was a little confused.

Zheng Jun's eyes widened, and the heroic killing intent in the army immediately emerged: "Are you going to let me carry it back by myself?"

"Of course I dare not trouble Master Zheng."

The shopkeeper's legs went weak, but he dared not disobey the "military leader's" wishes.

Mr. Zheng is usually kind and amiable, but I don't know why he is so ferocious today.

"Don't worry, I won't spend less money on you."

After that, Zheng Jun casually threw out two or three taels of silver and said boldly, "No need to give me the change."

Seeing the silver, he naturally had nothing to say and the shopkeeper's face was filled with smiles again.

Sun Bu naturally said nothing throughout the whole process, knowing very well that Zheng Jun must have something to talk to him about.

Soon, the roast duck and jujube wine were prepared. Sun Bu picked up the wrapped roast duck and jujube wine and immediately went out with Zheng Jun. On the street, he followed closely behind Zheng Jun, without any inappropriateness.

When they reached a sparsely populated area, Zheng Jun said, "Meng County Magistrate's pigeon leads to the Yanshan Mountains. No other information is known yet."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Sun Bu was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses: "I see... Did you hear this from Xu Heng?"

"I guess so." Zheng Jun said.

What is obtained indirectly is also considered obtained.

"The county's intelligence said that Xu Heng was a spy for the rebel Zhang Zijian. How is he related to the county magistrate? The carrier pigeon leads to Yanshan, but Zhang Zijian is in Xuanzhou in the northwest."

Sun Bu was obviously somewhat suspicious of this information.

The Yanshan Mountains run through Bozhou, Yunzhou and Shouzhou, but the main part is in Yunzhou. Bozhou and Shouzhou are only branches. For example, Heishan is one of the branches of the Yanshan Mountains.

And the rebel 'Zhang Zijian' was in Xuanzhou, northwest of Bozhou.

It's not even remotely related.

After hearing what Sun Bu said, Zheng Jun's first reaction was, who is 'Zhang Zijian'?
But he soon reacted.

This Zhang Zijian should be the second most powerful rebel of the current Great Zhou Emperor, the bandit King Dayi.

It is said that he was originally a general of the Xuanzhou border army, but he rebelled due to unpaid military pay and has been causing trouble in the northwestern states for several years.

Of course, the number one traitor at the moment is still the group of traitors gathered at Tianwang Mountain.

After all, among those rebels, there really is a Yuandan Martial Saint.

"This is the result of my investigation, believe it or not!"

Zheng Jun had a stern face and spoke to Sun Bu in a very tough manner. At the same time, he thought to himself: "It seems that Bo Zhangjiu didn't care about the county magistrate's affairs before, so he didn't tell the Zhenfu Division about Meng Xian's contact with the Yanshan Mountains. Otherwise, it wouldn't be my turn to enjoy this achievement."

But who owns the Yanshan Mountains?

Is he the great thief on Mount Yan, the vassal of Yunzhou, His Royal Highness the King of Yan of the Great Zhou, or... the Northern Demon Court?

But no matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with me.

After hearing what Zheng Jun said, Sun Bu didn't know what to say for a moment, and then said: "I will report it truthfully. If the information is true, I will take the credit; if the information is false, you will also be charged with false information! Zheng Dutou has a bright future, but you must think carefully."

"Fidelity."

Zheng Jun spoke with great confidence, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Bo Zhangjiu, Senior Brother Wang!
You wouldn't lie to me, would you?

If they lied to me, I could only expose the evil intentions of the remnants of Nanchu, who were trying to overthrow my Great Zhou. I, Zheng Jun, was a loyal minister of the Great Zhou since birth, and I was undercover in Nanchu, searching for evidence.

If you don't believe me, just look, Zhang Qingyu, the remnant of Nan Chu, was killed by me.

After getting Zheng Jun's assurance, Sun Bu said "hmm", ended the topic, and resumed his waiter's temperament. He followed Zheng Jun and delivered the roast duck and fruit wine to Zheng Jun's house.

Say goodbye after seeing you off.

It just so happened that Zhou Pu had just returned from office, and the three of them had dinner together.

After three rounds of drinks, Zheng Ping and Zhou Pu had endless things to talk about regarding how to decorate the Zheng Mansion. Zheng Jun did not spoil their interest and let them express themselves freely. He went to the Bingmasi to train the soldiers and practice swordsmanship.

Zheng Jun now made no secret of the fact that he was proficient in the Treading Wave Blade. Many people had already felt that the deaths of Zhao Da and Zhao Er seemed to have something to do with Zheng Jun.

But no one dares to say.

After all, Zhao Da and Zhao Er were just two yamen runners. If they died, they died. Who would offend an eighth-rank military commander for two dead people?

Moreover, even if he did say it, it might not necessarily make this military leader step down.

After all, the case has been determined to be committed by Lou Wei and Liang Fan. If the case is dismissed, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the county magistrates of Heishan County and the imperial guards of the Zhenfu Division?

Do you still want to stay in Heishan County?
After training dozens of county soldiers as usual, Zheng Jun discussed the recruitment of soldiers with the deputy captain Yang Jun, and then, seeing that night was approaching, he planned to return to his new home.

The yard of the new house is very large and quite spacious.

But for Zheng Jun, this is nothing.

Zheng Jun's blood and energy were vigorous. After returning home, he took a pill of Qi-storing Pill orally and started today's martial arts performance.

According to the experience of Broken Jade Skill, Zheng Jun adjusted his body posture and breathing method to practice.

Be focused and have no distractions.

As his breathing adjusted, the Qi and blood in Zheng Jun's body began to surge, his muscles bulged and contracted, his pores dilated, long tendons appeared under his skin, crystal beads of sweat seeped out of his pores, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was continuously absorbed.

This process repeated itself over and over again, and the spiritual energy was squeezed out bit by bit in Zheng Jun's body furnace, like a trickle, and then gathered together and transformed into huge waves, which continued to echo in Zheng Jun's dantian.

"hiss."

Cold sweat oozed from Zheng Jun's forehead, and his dantian felt a little swollen, as if the true energy was too full.

But soon, this feeling of fullness completely disappeared, and was replaced by the true qi contained in the dantian.

[Practicing the Jade-Breaking Skill, repayment progress +69, current repayment progress: 863/3000. ]

"Every time I take the Qi Storage Pill, my repayment progress can be doubled."

Zheng Jun couldn't help but sigh, taking drugs could make him pay back faster.

However, Zheng Jun did not intend to rest there. The effect of the medicine had not yet ended. He planned to take this opportunity to practice a few more times until the effect of the medicine was completely eliminated.

In the next few days, Zheng Jun will try his best to take one pill a day, and complete the step of 'gathering qi' as much as possible, and reach the stage of 'refining qi'.

Otherwise, Zheng Jun always has a sense of crisis.

This crisis came from the Jade-Breaking Technique that he practiced.

They also come from the three outer elders of the Canghai Sect.

Only by becoming stronger can you become more confident.

"call."

Zheng Jun exhaled and immediately started the second operation.

The Broken Jade Posture Technique is good in every way, except that it is too painful to practice every time.

But the progress of practicing the Broken Jade Skill is definitely not comparable to that of the Eagle Power, and Zheng Jun can only endure the pain and happiness like this.

Close your eyes and breathe in and out.

However, this time, Zheng Jun had just finished boiling his blood and qi, and had not had time to absorb and exhale spiritual energy, when he suddenly felt a breath of air rushing towards him from outside. Zheng Jun frowned suddenly, and then stopped the Jade-Breaking Skill in his hand without hesitation, and immediately drew his sword, extremely alert.

When practicing inner skills, although you should be focused and undivided, this does not mean that you have no perception of the outside world.

Zheng Jun’s reaction to the outside world is extremely strong!

Zheng Jun stared at the direction of the incoming breath, and saw a figure quickly climb over the wall and fall into his yard, looking very miserable.

"Ok?"

Zheng Jun narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and saw a guy wearing a black and gold cloak.

The dressing style is similar to Bo Zhangjiu.

The only difference was that the black iron mask on his face had been broken in half, leaving half of his face exposed for Zheng Jun to see clearly.

After seeing the face, Zheng Jun immediately recognized who this person was.

Sun Bu, a waiter at Huichun Tower and a secret guard of the Zhenfusi Yamen!

Why do you have the same cape?

What do you mean by not giving it to me? Did Bo Zhangjiu embezzle the money for the cloak?
But now was obviously not the time to ask this, so Zheng Jun stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

"Run!"

Sun Bu roared in a low voice: "Damn it, Meng Xian is a puppet of the demon! I went to check the accuracy of your information tonight, and found that the two servants beside him have cultivated magic skills, one is the Five Internal Organs Skill, and the other is the Heart-Erosion Curse!"

"There's someone chasing me all the way, I'm afraid it's coming!"

After hearing what Sun Bu said, Zheng Jun's expression immediately turned cold.

Damn, why didn’t you say it earlier?
Zheng Jun did not hesitate and planned to get up and leave, and go to the Pacification Office to call for thugs to help.

Don't you believe my intelligence? How can there be a bug like you in the Pacification Division?
What a stupid teammate!

Zheng Jun was just about to get up and climb over the wall to leave when he smelled a fishy odor coming towards him.

And towards me, there was a gust of warm and smelly air.

The real boss is here, it seems there is no way to call for help.

"You stink, get out of here!"

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, unsheathed the Beirong sword, the blade glowed with a cold light, and he raised his cold eyes, murderous intent spreading.

"I didn't expect this kid was here to look for you."

A childish voice reached Zheng Jun's ears, and the next moment, the courtyard wall collapsed with a loud bang, the bricks shattered, and dust covered the ground.

Behind the courtyard wall, a black shadow attacked Zheng Jun very keenly.

In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Zheng Jun.

And the fishy smell became stronger at this moment.

"go away!"

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, and without hesitation, he swung the Beirong Sword forward. The sword intent was instantly aroused, and an offensive force like a huge wave suddenly came, like waves, endless, one layer after another!
Zheng Jun's powerful force instantly frightened the attacking black shadow, and it quickly retreated.

But Zheng Jun's knife had already chopped down, and blood splattered immediately. The black shadow had been injured by Zheng Jun.

"It flashed quickly."

Zheng Jun held the Beirong sword horizontally, and a line of blood flashed on the blade. The blood gathered at the tip of the sword, turning into blood beads that kept dripping.

"Your knife is so sharp!"

The dark shadow revealed a look of deep fear, and at this moment, his figure had fully appeared.

He is not tall, looks like a book boy, has blood-red eyes, and exudes a cold aura from head to toe.

The knife that Zheng Jun stabbed just now had hit his left shoulder. The clothes on his left shoulder had been torn, and the knife wound under the clothes was visible to the naked eye.

However, what Zheng Jun could not have expected was that the wound he had cut himself was now surrounded by a layer of red mist and was recovering rapidly, while the servant boy's face was gloomy, with a hint of sickly red in the paleness!
Seeing this scene, Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel a little tricky.

What kind of martial art is this that can actually restore blood?

Why do these magic skills seem to be much more powerful than the regular skills?
At this moment, the servant boy suddenly shouted, "The master has given an order, hurry up and kill him!"

After hearing these words, Zheng Jun, who was already tense, instantly felt a murderous aura coming from behind him. He turned around and chopped at the blade, and a strong bloody aura poured out along with the blade!

This knife is like the roar of a dragon!
The Treading Waves Sword was slashed out, and between heaven and earth, it was as if a dragon broke out of the deep sea abyss and soared into the sky!
The other servant who attacked Zheng Jun from behind suddenly narrowed his eyes, and tried to quickly retract his claws.

However, no matter how fast this servant boy's reaction was, it was not as fast as Zheng Jun's who was blessed with the Treading Waves Sword Intent!
In an instant, the sword intent came overwhelming, and the sharp sword light instantly tore through the sleeves of the servant boy and cut off his pair of claws!
"what!"

A scream was heard and a pair of arms fell to the ground. Zheng Jun's eyes were full of ferocity. Without any hesitation, he raised the knife and chopped it down with force!

With great force and power, it is invincible!
This knife seemed to be intended to split the attacker in half!

Seeing this scene, the attacking book boy felt horrified and shouted miserably: "Brother, save me!"
