Seeking the Flying Sword Path Chapter 14: One hundred thousand taels of silver
bsp;Qin Yun and Tian Bo left on horseback, and eventually went back to their respective homes.
On the Huayang River they just passed by, the painting boat finally slowly docked.
“Brother Yu Bai, say goodbye.”
“Brother Wang, it’s dark, be careful on the road.”
The great talent Yu Bai parted with another friend.
Yu Bai looks quite handsome and elegant, with just a hint of decadence. Just when he was about to leave with his servants to **** him, an old madam stepped out of the boat, and the old madam said: “Master Yu.”
“Oh, what’s the matter?” The great talent Yu Bai said calmly.
The old madam smiled and said: “My Lord Rumeng Pavilion has admired Young Master Yu for a long time, and has always been very fond of Young Master Yu’s poems. I wonder if Young Master Yu can meet the Lord.”
“I came to Guangling and I have important matters. I’m sorry that I can’t go see the Pavilion Master.” Yu Bai, the great talent, said calmly.
“My pavilion master really admires Mr. Yu very much. Why don’t you meet Mr. Yu to comfort my pavilion master’s lovesickness?” the old bustard continued.
“No need.” Yu Bai, a great talent, said when he saw the other party, he turned around and left.
The madam watched from behind and could only stamp her feet, helplessly returning to the boat.
The talented man Yu Bai walked leisurely with his servants to protect him.
“Master, the master of Rumeng Pavilion is really resourceful. He has invited the master several times. Even the master came to the boat at the invitation of his friends. The madam of the boat is one of hers, so he invited them all.” The guard smiled. Said, “And she hasn’t shown up yet.”
“Pavilion Master Rumeng.” Yu Bai, a talented scholar, said with a smile, “She was originally a famous prostitute in the capital, but she was not well-known in the capital! But in the capital, there are more high-ranking officials and powerful people, and she has accumulated a lot of money over the years. With some money and connections with high-ranking officials, she returned to her hometown of Guangling County and built the Rumeng Pavilion! As the head of the pavilion, she heard that the oiran was selected the year before, so she used her connections and tried her best to win the oiran position. “
“If only she had been young, she would have deserved the title. But she is no longer young, and is no longer what she used to be. There are not many people chasing her. She won the position of oiran the year before last, and there were many in Guangling County. People are very unfair and feel it’s unfair!”
“She wants me to help her, but why should I help her?” Yu Bai, a great talent, immediately chuckled, “Women, you have to see yourself clearly. When you get older, stop fighting with those little girls.”
“Master, how old is Master Rumeng Pavilion this year?” the guard asked.
“Although I can refine my qi to maintain my youth, I am still fifty-five years old.” Yu Bai, the great talent, shook his head, “It is too big for a famous prostitute.”
“So big?”
“She is more than ten years older than me, and she is almost the same as my mother.” Another servant next to him was also surprised.
The great talent Yu Bai smiled.
……
Walking along the way, the boat docked close to the inn where they were temporarily staying. The talented man Yu Bai quickly escorted him to the inn with his servants.
“Master, master.” A waiting servant ran over outside the inn door.
“What’s all the fuss about?” said the talented scholar Yu Bai.
“Master, I have heard about the immortal cultivator.” The servant said excitedly.
“A cultivator of immortality?” Yu Bai’s eyes lit up, “Tell me, tell me quickly, who is this cultivator of immortality, what is his name, and where is he?”
“The news I heard from Yanfeng Tower is that it is an immortal cultivator named Qin Yun.” The servant continued, “I heard that he is a local from Guangling County. When he was thirteen years old, he combined the human sword with the sword to refine Qi. On the ninth floor, he left home six years ago to travel around the world. Now he has returned and opened the gate of immortality. He is a member of the immortals! Just tonight at Yanfeng Tower, this immortal cultivator ‘Qin Yun’ brought Liu Qi from the Liu family of Guangling County. The young master was thrown down the stairs, his face covered with blood! The cultivator also said, ‘Miss Chenshuang is my sister, and if you offend Miss Chenshuang, you will offend me, Qin Yun.'”
This servant also deliberately learned it again.
“Yanfeng Tower, Miss Chenshuang?” Yu Bai, a great talent, was moved in his heart and asked, “Where does this Immortal Qin Yunxiu live?”
“He is from Guangling County, and he lives in the Qin Mansion.” The servant continued, “In the entire Guangling County, there is only one house that can be called the Qin Mansion, and it is the residence of the Yinzhang arrester ‘Master Qin Liehu’. This is Qin Yun is the second son of Qin Mansion.”
The great talent Yu Bai nodded: “Afu, take my post and send it to the Qin Mansion tomorrow.”
“Yes.” The servant Ah Fu said respectfully.
Yu Bai, a great talent, had deep eyes, but he said silently in his heart: “I don’t know how deep the relationship between Qin Yunxiu Immortal and the famous prostitute Chenshuang is, and I don’t know if he has the ability to help me!”
“Also, go and find out from me now what kind of relationship this Immortal Qin Yunxiu has with that girl Chenshuang.” Yu Bai, the great talent, ordered.
“Don’t worry, Master.” the servant Aflian said.
******
Early the next morning.
Qin Mansion, martial arts training ground.
Qin Yun was practicing his sword leisurely, still unhappy, but the sword light was hazy, like a dream. If we say Miss Chenshuang’s “Sword Dance” is a combination of swordsmanship and dance skills, it gives people a beautiful enjoyment. As for Qin Yun, it is purely the swordsmanship itself that can make viewers feel as if they have entered a dream world and can’t help but be intoxicated by it. This is beyond the scope of ‘skills’.
“Huh.” Sheathed the sword and went to have breakfast.
While drinking thick rice porridge, I suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from outside, and soon saw Qin Liehu and Qin An walking over together.
“Dad, you haven’t been back for two nights.” Qin Yun said with a smile, “Hurry up and have a bowl of porridge.”
Qin Liehu sat down and drank less than half of a large bowl of porridge after a few sips. Then he ordered: “Everyone else, get out.”
“Yes, Master.” The serving maid stepped back.
Only Qin Liehu and his two sons were left in the hall.
“Brother, have you brought your wife and children here?” Qin Yun said with a smile. He didn’t notice it when he came back late last night and only found out this morning.
“The monster was targeting me before. Even though you said you solved the problem, second brother, how can I feel at ease? It’s fine if I die alone, but if anything happens to my wife and children…” the eldest brother Qin An said, ” It’s better to come back, I have dad and you, my second brother! I feel more at ease here.”
“Yes.” Qin Yun nodded slightly, yes, the eldest brother is an ordinary person after all, how can he not be afraid of monsters.
Qin Liehu looked at Qin Yun: “Yun’er, I heard from your elder brother that the night you came back, you went to investigate in secret and solved the disaster? But that old monster Chu Yong?”
“There is a cat demon hiding in the eldest brother’s house. He has been hiding for half a year.” Qin Yun drank two mouthfuls of porridge and said with a smile, “She also acted under orders. The one who ordered her was the demon leader Chu Yong. That night I After catching the cat demon, I followed the lead to the underground palace of the old demon Chu Yong. The old demon Chu Yong also admitted that he wanted to turn his eldest brother into a demon servant to threaten his father. After knowing everything, I will kill those monsters. Including the old monster Chu Yong, he was served in one pot!”
“It was really you who did it.”
Qin Liehu sighed, “When I saw the underground palace, I knew it was the old monster Chu Yong. I thought at that time, could it be Yun’er who did it! But I thought Yun’er was too young at the time. It hasn’t been long since I opened the gate of immortality, so I shouldn’t be able to defeat this old demon.”
“Dad, you underestimate your second brother.” Qin An said from the side.
“It has been six years. Yun’er is stronger than I expected.” Qin Liehu said with a smile.
“Old demon Chu Yong’s skin is very thick. Even if thousands of arrows are fired, even some powerful crossbows, they can’t break his skin.” Qin Yun said with emotion.
“Yun’er, you are here to get rid of a big problem for our Guangling County. This old demon is entrenched here and has caused a lot of troubles. There is a pit of bones in his underground palace. They are all the bones left behind by cannibalism. “Qin Liehu shook his head, “These monsters really deserve to be killed.”
“Eating people? Pit of Bones?” The eldest brother Qin An was surprised.
“It is very common for people to eat livestock and monsters to eat humans.” Qin Yun said, “Monsters are also divided into good and evil, and there are also good monsters. However, old monster Chu Yong should indeed be killed.”
“An’er, please don’t tell anyone about your second brother’s killing of the monster Chu Yong.” Qin Liehu asked.
“I understand.” Qin An nodded.
……
At this moment, the Sheriff’s Mansion is very large because there are 600 personal guards stationed there.
A man in brocade robes stood nervously in a small courtyard waiting.
“The Lord Sheriff suddenly summoned me. I don’t know what happened.” The man in brocade robes was panicking and had no choice. Although he was the head of the ‘Liu family’, a famous wealthy family in Guangling County, and the Liu family was even called One of the three major families in Guangling County. But Patriarch Liu knew that the Liu family relied on the power of the county governor! In front of the county governor, the Liu family is just a dog!
Dogs are loyal and guard the house and the courtyard.
The owner throws a bone, and the dog wags its tail and happily eats it.
One day, the owner wants to kill the dog! Dogs can only suffer death!
“I did nothing wrong. I did everything the Sheriff ordered me to do extremely well.” Thoughts appeared in the mind of the man in brocade robes one by one.
“Clan Chief Liu, come with me.” An old servant came over and said with a smile.
“Steward Wang, I wonder what the reason for the sudden summons by the county governor is?” Patriarch Liu came forward to please him, and at the same time thrust a banknote into Steward Liu’s hand. Steward Liu glanced at it and saw it was a one hundred dollar bill. After paying two taels of silver notes, he showed a smile, and then whispered: “Don’t worry, the master is in a good mood. I’m afraid it’s not a bad thing.”
Clan Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, he was introduced into a garden.
An old man in simple gray robes and a man in green robes sat opposite each other.
“Meet the Governor, Commander Fang!” As soon as Patriarch Liu arrived, he immediately saluted respectfully.
Needless to say, Lord County Sheriff, the entire Guangling County has absolute power, with military and political power in one body. No one dares to disobey his orders. Those below the seventh rank will be killed first and then reported. Above the seventh rank, they can also be directly detained. In order to deal with monsters , we must ensure that the ‘Lord Sheriff’ sticks to his word! Like some local wealthy families, the county governor can destroy his family and annihilate his clan at random.
The man in green robe is the most prominent person in Guangling County. He is a strong man in the Xiantian Void Core Realm, and he is the commander of the personal guards of the County Governor!
“Don’t wait until the end of the year for the money your Liu family needs to pay this year.” The simple gray-robed old man said casually, “I need it within half a month, can you get it together?”
Clan Chief Liu felt a knot in his heart.
The Liu family, relying on the power of the county governor, has made a lot of money, so it is natural that they have to pay tribute every year. But it usually happens at the end of every year, and now it’s only March.
“By the way, I need one hundred thousand taels.” The simple old man in gray robe added.
Clan Chief Liu raised his eyebrows. Isn’t it usually 80,000 taels of silver per year? Why did it increase?
“Don’t worry, Lord Sheriff, I will collect one hundred thousand taels within half a month.” Patriarch Liu did not complain at all.
“Yes.” The old man in gray robe nodded slightly, “I heard that your Liu Qi collided with the second son of the Qin family at Yanfeng Tower last night?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Patriarch Liu said, “I have already punished you severely.”
“Luckily, the second young master of the Qin Mansion didn’t do anything cruel.” The gray-robed old man waved his hand casually, “Okay, let’s go down.”
“Yes, yes.”
Clan Chief Liu immediately retreated obediently, but there were many doubts swirling in his heart: “Why did the Lord Sheriff suddenly mention the second son of the Qin Mansion? Even if he knocks on the immortal gate and has not entered the innate world, it is nothing, Commander Fang He is still an immortal in the Xiantian Void Realm!”
