He screamed like a pig being slaughtered and collapsed to the ground. Blood gushed out from his broken arm, forming a pool in an instant.

Zhao Wuxian threw his crushed arm next to Master Lu and said coldly, "Do you think you can threaten me like this?"

Manor Master Lu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Gu Yasi sucked in a breath, his legs trembling, sweat pouring down, and said, "Mr. Zhao, spare me, I was just helping the Lu family and taking care of the government office, I didn't join them in murdering you and your family."

Zhao Wuxian said coldly: "Now you know? What should I do?"

Gu Yasi said without hesitation: "I am blind and have mistaken such a treacherous person as my friend!"

"As a government official, I must report this to the prefect, expose his true colors, and seek justice for you and the Zhao family!"

"Gu is willing to pay you 10,000 taels of silver to make amends for your crime!"

Hearing what Gu Yasi said, Manor Master Lu glared at him and said, "Gu Changqing, you, you..."

Gu Yasi snorted coldly, "What do you mean by you? Lu Chengyun, don't try to get close to me anymore. I, Gu Changqing, will never tolerate evil!"

"Despicable!"

Lu Chengyun gritted his teeth, feeling so painful and angry that he fainted.

Zhao Wuxian let go of Gu Changqing and said, "Secretary Gu, words are not enough. Please sign a written document and I will not pursue the past matters any further."

Gu Changqing's shoulders drooped, and he felt as if he was disabled.

The bone must be broken.

But it's better than being broken.

He endured the piercing pain, dared not say more, and nodded in agreement.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The case in which Lu Chengyun had an affair with his cousin, plotted to seize Zhao's property, and persecuted Zhao's children caused quite a stir.

Zhao Wuxian's biological father, Zhao Shiji, is listed in the royal family tree.

Even if he has fallen, he is still a real royal relative.

Someone actually intended to assassinate him?

Killing his own children?

Almost there?

This incident even alarmed Zhezong.

Because of some folk opinions, Lu Chengyun was portrayed as being instructed by Taizong's lineage to persecute Taizu's lineage.

There is fierce factional fighting in the court now, and there must be someone who is not hiding the politics of Cheoljong and his new party and is using it to make a fuss.

The princes of Taizu's lineage in Beijing were also dissatisfied.

Although they had never met Zhao Shiji and Zhao Wuxian, at a time like this, they couldn't help but sympathize with them.

They wrote petitions one after another, demanding severe punishment for the Lu family and maintaining the dignity of the royal family.

In order to avoid being blamed, the descendants of Zhezong and Taizong would certainly not let the Lu family off easily.

In the end, the Lu family was charged with treason and all three clans were implicated.

In order to appease Taizu's lineage and show that Taizu and Taizong were of the same blood, Zhezong generously conferred the title of Duke of Jingguo on Zhao Shiji.

After falling into the lake, Zhao Wuxian, who survived the disaster, became the only son of Zhao Shiji and naturally became the prince of Jingguo.

The Duke of Jingguo was conferred the title in Suzhou.

Zhezong transferred all the confiscated land, houses and shops of the Lu family to Zhao Shiji to show his grace.

He also granted Canglang Pavilion as the Jingguo Palace.

This was originally the private residence of the prime minister Zhang Dun. It is unknown how Zhezong obtained it from Zhang Dun.

The word "Jing" means stability and no unrest.

This was Cheoljong’s attitude.

On the day the mansion was demolished, a plaque with the words "Duke Jingguo's Mansion" was hung high, being very conspicuous.

The high-ranking officials of Suzhou, the local prominent families, and even the princes and nobles in the capital all sent people to congratulate.

Zhao Shiji turned a disaster into a blessing, but he was not very happy.

No one would be happy to know that the son they had raised for more than 20 years was not their own.

If Zhao Wuxian hadn't arrived in time, he would have been poisoned to death by the bowl of medicine.

Not everyone can withstand this kind of blow.

Therefore, he has been depressed recently and only puts on a forced smile when faced with guests' congratulations.

Fortunately, having an old person in the family is like a treasure.

The old lady is still alive. She is a daughter of the Zhe family, a military family in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Wuxian lost his mother at a young age, and was able to study and learn literature despite Lu's disgust, all thanks to the old lady's support.

The mansion is newly built and is in perfect order.

The guests were welcomed and seen off with great courtesy and without any mistakes.

Three days after the banquet.

The Jingguo Mansion finally quieted down.

The old lady and the servants were in the backyard, holding the list and counting the gifts.

"Now that I have received a gift, I have to return it. Reciprocity is the norm."

The old lady, supported by her maid and leaning on a cane, was in good spirits and was giving instructions to Zhao Shiji.

"I know!" Zhao Shiji said stiffly.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "My Lord, Madam, there is a young man named Murong Fu outside the door who wants to visit you."

"Murong Fu?"

"He claims to be from Canhe Village in Yanziwu outside the city!"

The old lady said: "I heard that the Murong family seems to be a family of Jianghu people."

Chapter 8 Canglang Pavilion, Murong Fu came to give gifts! (Seeking flowers and comments)

"Someone from the underworld?"

When Zhao Shiji heard that Murong Fu came from a family of Jianghu people, he waved his hand and said, "No, no!"

"and many more!"

The old lady called the housekeeper and said, "Go and ask the young master to see him!"

"Mother, it is forbidden to use martial arts to cause chaos, and the court has issued a clear order prohibiting making friends with people from the underworld..." Zhao Shiji said hurriedly.

The old lady tapped the ground with her cane, gave him a cold look, and said, "You are so pedantic!"

Zhao Shiji choked.

"A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If someone comes to visit you and wants to make friends, you will offend him if you refuse to meet him."

The old lady was mature and prudent, and said, "We are new here, and we want to take root in Suzhou Prefecture. We need to make friends with the secular world and the underworld. Since you don't like people in the underworld, Wuxian will handle it from now on."

"Yes!"

Zhao Shiji responded.

Canglang Pavilion!

Amid the sound of cranes calling, Zhao Wuxian's punches moved like a python, rolling past with force like waves, one wave after another rising.

It was as if thousands of troops were galloping.

He exhaled and shouted, his whole body beating and shaking.

He threw a punch without any internal force, and the life-size boulder standing outside the pavilion exploded and broke into pieces.

He exhaled slowly, stood with his fist clenched, his eyes filled with divine light, there was only a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his skin was as soft and smooth as jade.

The young man is like jade, nothing more than this!

“Practicing boxing integrates the inside and outside, and improves the skin, flesh, tendons, membranes, veins, bones, and marrow in all aspects, which is considered to be the foundation.”

He silently comprehended it for a moment, and the body-tempering effect of the fist resonance was already very weak.

"The boxing classics are not as effective as before for me now. I need a more sophisticated martial art that can train my acupoints!"

Jiuzhou martial arts are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang. Each level is further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

"Taizu Boxing Classics" is classified as middle grade in the yellow level.

It's only slightly stronger than the common martial arts.

The reason for this division is that each type of martial arts can reach a different level of realm.

When it comes to building the foundation, "Taizu Boxing Classics" is not inferior to any other magical skills.

But it is only a foundation-building martial art, lacking in depth and height, and its subtleties are difficult to reach the level of other magical skills.

"As for the martial arts world of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a book called "The Divine Art of the North Sea" in Langhuan Blessed Land!"

"Outside Xiangyang City, there is the Dugu Nine Swords!"

"Quanzhen Sect has the Nine Yin Manual!"

"The Xiaoyao Sect has the 'Eternal Youth Technique'!"

"The first two are not difficult to obtain, but the latter two are a bit troublesome."

Zhao Wuxian was deep in thought.

The butler comes in.

"Sir, there is a young man from the Jianghu named Murong Fu who is here to visit the mansion. The old lady wants you to meet him."

"Murong Fu?"
