Astral Apostle Chapter 156: Help and excitement

After Wu Zheng woke up, he didn't care about anything else, he hurried out of Anhe Academy, and hurried to the south of the city with the book boy. On the way, he anxiously asked the book boy for the specific situation several times.

Not long after, Wu Zheng came to a large gate with the words "Lu House" written on the plaque.

This Lu family is a big family in the prefecture. There was an ancestor who held a high position. Although it declined later, it is still strong.

In the early years, the old lady of the Wu family operated and managed, and finally let her daughter marry into the Lu house as a concubine, which was considered a high branch for the Wu family.

Although her daughter is a concubine, she is quite favored, and the two families have occasional contacts. While Wu was studying in the prefecture, he often received extra care from the Lu mansion.

So, when something happened at home at this time, Wu Zheng hurriedly came to his sister for help.

He informed the concierge and waited anxiously for a while before he was allowed to enter. He followed the servants into the courtyard, and then came to a mansion and saw his sister.

As soon as they met, Wu Zheng seemed to have found the backbone. He shivered about the accident at home and asked anxiously:

"Sister, this kind of change happened in the family. Dad and two younger brothers died unexpectedly. The family property was looted by the villager, and the villagers were all scattered. What should I do for my brother?"

The sister of the Wu family was also panicked. Because she was a concubine, she could not hold the master, so she hurriedly said: "Elder brother, please rest in a hurry, and let me report to the master."

After she finished speaking, she got up and went to inform the mistress, and then went to Lu Ancheng, the master of the Lu family, and explained the matter in detail.

After a while, Lu'an City invited Wu Zheng to the main hall for a talk.

Wu Zheng came here with the family, and saw Master Lu, Mistress Lu and his sister already in the main hall.

He hurriedly walked forward to meet him, said a good word of greetings, and then sat down with his **** on the edge of the chair.

Lu Ancheng had a solemn and old-fashioned appearance, so the servants served tea and said slowly: "I already know the matter, the old lady Wu is my old friend, and I am very sad when I hear that he has suffered. You and I The two have always had contacts, and I will definitely help you in this matter and help you win your home.”

Wu Zheng was overjoyed, cupped his hands again and again, and a series of words of gratitude came out of his mouth. After all, he was a scholar with ink in his belly.

Lu Ancheng scraped the tea foam with the lid of the cup and said in deep thought:

"There are a lot of rumors that are not detailed, so I will send some Zhuang Ke to you to go to Wujiazhuang to find out first. If the strongman who committed the crime has not left, don't act rashly. If the strongman has left, you Just look at who has occupied the property, and whether your title deed and IOU are still there. If the title deed and IOU are still there, then it's easy to do, go to the county government for a walk, and ask the government to preside over justice."

Wu Zheng nodded quickly and wrote it down.

Under the training of the old lady, he devoted himself to studying since childhood. .

"What if the land deed is gone?" Wu Zheng asked hurriedly.

Lu Ancheng took a sip of tea, smacking his lips, and said calmly:

"But it's not difficult, as long as you find the official endorsement, your Wu family has never been short of the magistrate's filial piety in the past, he knows that the surrounding area is your Wujiazhuang property. After a while, the matter has become most of the time. If it still doesn't work, you can come back and tell me that I have a good relationship with the prefect, and I can say a few words for you, and this property will return to your Wu family's hands justifiably... What if there is no land deed, since it is yours, those who have no knowledge of making trouble with the people, think that they can take it away!"

Wu Zheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and gave a big gift. He said gratefully, "I am deeply grateful for this help from Taigong Lu! If the old lady in Japan needs it, I will do my best to help him, and he will definitely die!"

Lu Ancheng received a salute, paused, and said slowly: "The words are serious, let's sit down. Although this matter is not difficult, but I have a few good words, but I want to persuade Mr. Wu."

Wu Zheng immediately straightened his back and said solemnly, "Mr. Lu, please speak."

Lu Ancheng stroked his beard and changed the topic, suddenly he spoke earnestly and said:

"Young master, listen to me, you are a person who wants to gain fame. As long as you are in high school, why don't you worry about your family business? Even if you win your family business, you have to preside over it yourself. What energy do you have to study? It's distracting, but it's all about abandoning the basics. Why don't you make a deed with me after you take back the land and lease all the land to me, and I'll let people take care of it for you and give you some money every year. When you come to Japan to get the fame, you have In your spare time, it's not too late for you to take over."

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu'an City deeply, got up and bowed without hesitation:

"This is the best of both worlds, Mr. Lu's benevolence and righteousness! When I take back the property in the middle of the country, I will trouble Mr. Lu to take care of it."

Only then did Lu Ancheng smile. He stepped forward to help Wu Zheng up, and said with a smile, "Don't be polite, sir, you and I are very close friends. I'm not too busy to do anything. Lang painstakingly studied the scriptures in order to come to Japan's high school!"

After negotiating this matter, the two held hands and wentssips.

After chatting for a while, the Lu Mansion hosted a banquet to entertain Wu Zheng, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, Wu Zheng said that he was going to take leave from the academy, so he said goodbye to Mr. Lu.

Out of the gate of Lu Mansion, Wu Zheng was sobered up by the cold wind on the street, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

How could he not know Master Lu's plan, before he passed the exam, the property belonged to the Lu family, and he just needed to give him some money every year to get rid of him.

If you get the title by yourself, then the leased property, Mr. Lu will naturally return it to him, forming a good relationship.

If you don't pass the exam for a lifetime, you'll have the family business for generations, and I'm afraid I will be named Lu in the future...

Wu Zheng felt that he had no choice, sighed twice in his heart, rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, and then took the book boy and left the Lu Mansion.

……

On the other side, because "Crossing the Mountain Tai Sui" Fang Zhen walked together, Zhou Jing and his party had one more person.

I met Fang Zhen by chance, everyone ate a drink, delayed for a while, and hurry up after lunch, everyone still failed to reach Anlin Mansion before sunset, so they had to find an inn outside the city and stay overnight, Re-enter the city in the morning.

Many passers-by who missed the time to enter the city also settled in the inn. There were many people with mixed eyes. After having a meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

In the early morning of the second day, the city gate opened. Li Chun came forward to check, took the road test certificate, and filial piety, and then led the crowd into the city.

On the way, Li Chun had already explained to Zhou Jing that it is better to go to the county seat and village. If you want to enter the prefecture city, you need an "identity certificate" and a "travel certificate", which is generally called a road test certificate.

In the early days of the Great Xia Dynasty, the investigation was relatively strict, but after a hundred years of corruption, it is now extremely loose.

There are so-called countermeasures. Forging road test certificates has become a common black market business. Even if the craftsmanship is poor, there are many people entering the city every day from various prefectures.

In today's world, the upper and the lower are effective, and there are corrupt officials everywhere. If you make money, you don't even need to forge them. Some local officials are too lazy to check. road certificate.

In addition, the job of guarding the gate of this city is also a fat job, and not everyone is qualified to do it.

Small power can also make money, as long as you give enough filial piety, the gate sergeant will open one eye and close the other when inspecting. And if you encounter greedy people, even if you have a qualified road test certificate and don't honor some money, people can trouble you.

At the end of the day, the gate sergeant can get a lot of money just for extra money.

Of course, the money can't be swallowed alone, and the senior officers who are stationed in the city defense must be honored and paid everywhere.

The sergeant who guards the gate not only makes money for himself, but also for his superiors. Without such eyesight, he is not qualified to be sent by a superior officer to do this errand.

Normal businessmen naturally hate this kind of rule and dare not speak out, but it is convenient for the people of Green Forest and Jianghu to act.

Entering the city, everyone found an inn to settle down.

Because of his sturdy figure, Zhou Jing was a little conspicuous, but he changed into a coarse linen coat. Although he still looked large, at least it was not so scary.

Li Chun took the Lu family brothers and sisters to find a middleman to discuss some arms sales, but it was inconvenient for Zhou Jing to follow.

He didn't stay idle either. He practiced the basic training method in the room for a while. Later, when he received an invitation from Fang Zhen, the two went to hang out on the street, while Zhang San and other five personal attendants waited in the inn.

The two left the inn and walked down the street, looking left and right.

Although this Anlin Mansion cannot be compared to the main world, it is considered prosperous by the standards of ancient cities in the feudal period.

"This is the first time my brother has come to Anlin Mansion?" Fang Zhen asked with a smile.

"For the first time indeed."

Zhou Jing responded casually. In fact, he did not know everything, but there was no need to say it.

Although the map data given by the main world is out of date for hundreds of years and people are different, the basic layout of some cities will not be easily changed.

At the time of the designation of the delivery area, Zhou Jing had seen the general layout of the surrounding palaces and cities, including Anlin House. Although he didn't know the more detailed layout, at least he knew which direction the city gate opened.

“This Anlin Mansion is the prefecture of Jingzhou, where merchants are prosperous, and heroes come and go. It is one of the most prosperous cities in the Luhe area. The aquatic products here are the most delicious. Why don’t I wait for a taste?”

Fang Zhen is cordially invited.

Zhou Jing looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's still early, let's talk about it until lunch, just to call the other brothers together."

"Alright." Fang Zhen nodded.

After walking for a while, there was a sudden noise nearby.

The two followed the sound and found a small river with a stone bridge on it. At this time, two groups of people were facing each other on the bridge, and there were many people around to watch the fun.

"The Mai Yi Gang and the Hutou Gang have met, and it's a good show to watch."

"Hey, it's just a dog bites a dog to the left and right, it's better to hit both."

"I guess ten people will fall into the water today and bet three coins."

"Follow."

The civilians watching the play whispered and talked a lot, but they were never afraid.

Hearing the crowd talking, Zhou Jing carefully looked at the two groups of people on the bridge.

A dozen people on each side of the bridge, bare-handed, were shouting at each other, swearing and greeting each other's relatives.

Fang Zhen asked the people next to him. Knowing the situation, he laughed happily:

"It turned out to be two gangs of pranksters on the street. They met on the bridge every three or five times and threw each other into the river. The people here are used to it."

"Does the officials care?" Zhou Jing asked casually.

"These rascals are idle, and even if they are caught in prison, they will be released after a few days, and there is nothing to squeeze out. As long as they don't kill people and don't hurt the people, officials and officials don't bother to pay attention to them, and they can still enjoy themselves on the way. "

Fang Zhen shook his head, it was no surprise that there were such scumbags in any city.

They were chatting here, and the two groups on the bridge finally scolded each other and pushed each other.

"Dog things, enter your mother!"

"Good darling, watch me tear your mouth off!"

The two groups of poppies on the bridge soon started fighting, crowding into a pile, blocking the road. From time to time, poppies were pushed off the bridge and fell into the river.

Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen were in the crowd, watching the fun with the people.

At this moment, two people suddenly ran out from the opposite bank, chasing one after the other, heading towards the stone bridge.

The one who escaped in front was a thin figure with a mask and a square scarf. His feet were extremely fast, and he shuttled like a fish in the crowded street. He was extremely agile.

In the back is a handsome middle-aged man, who is full of anger at this time, carrying a long stick, and striding to chase the thin man in front.

"Leave the little thief and pay me back!"

The middle-aged man shouted violently, which immediately attracted the attention of the crowd watching the lively crowd.

"Hehe, come and get it if you can!"

The people who were watching the lively on the bridge quickly got out of the way and didn't want to get involved.

The two chased and fled, and soon approached the stone bridge.

A large group of pranksters were fighting on the bridge, and no one got out of the way, blocking the way.

Suddenly, the skinny person rose into the air, like a dragonfly, stepping on the heads of the rogues, flying across the bridge.

"It's so easy!"

The people around saw this hand, but regardless of the cause and effect, they couldn't help but cheer and applaud.

Fang Zhen's eyes lit up and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, you are very skilled, I wonder if you can do it?"

Zhou Jing touched his chin and smacked his lips: "If I cross the bridge like this, I can stomp all these sloppy heads into the cavity."

“…but it is.”

Fang Zhen couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jing's burly and majestic body, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

At the same time, the middle-aged man who was chasing behind also rushed to the bridge, but instead of stepping on the head, he slammed out a long stick, inserted it into the crowd from below, and let out a low growl.

"Go away!"

The next moment, the long stick slammed like a big gun.

Whoa!

The several sloppy skins that were entangled in front of him were all thrown out, and fell into the river.

The bridge deck was immediately empty.

This scene was much more intense than the skinny man just now, causing the people to show shock and uproar.

The middle-aged man strode forward, picking up long sticks, and knocking all the sloppy skins into the water, as if he was doing it with a single hand.

He didn't even look at the drowning man, and hurried across the bridge, chasing after the thin man in front of him.

"Hey, what a domineering marksmanship!" Fang Zhen, who really knows what to do, exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Jing is also interested.

The two fleeing and chasing, one agile and agile, the other a domineering marksman, are both proficient in martial arts, and they are not like ordinary characters.

I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the city, I met a master.

At this moment, the two men rushed forward.

The onlookers around Zhou Jing avoided one after another, revealing that he stood out from the crowd.

The skinny person noticed a burly man like Zhou Jing, and immediately rolled his eyes, suddenly threw a burden at Zhou Jing, and said loudly:

"Brother, the person in the back will be handed over to you, see you at the same place later!"

After all, he turned his footsteps, but he wanted to use Zhou Jing as a cover to make it easier for him to escape.

At the same time, the middle-aged man also rushed to the front. Seeing that the burden was thrown to Zhou Jing, he didn't have time to think about it. He used a stick as a spear, raised his chest to Zhou Jing, and shouted: "Back off!"

Zhou Jing raised his brows, but did not dodge or evade, holding the long stick directly in his big hand.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and the force of the impact only made his arm tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, without saying a word, Zhou Jing squeezed the head of one stick, turned his hand to pick it up, and even pried up the middle-aged man on the other end.

"What?!"

The middle-aged man was shocked. He didn't expect that this "blocker" had such amazing strength. Not only could he easily take a shot from him with his bare hands, but he could even pick him up with one hand.

He couldn't take out the long stick from Zhou Jing's hand, so he had to let go and stumble to the ground from mid-air, looking at Zhou Jing cautiously, sweating on his back, as if he was facing a great enemy.

But Zhou Jing ignored him and turned to look at the thin man who had run several steps, shaking his hand and throwing a long stick.

Hoo!

There is a sound of breaking the air, and the long stick is shot like a javelin.

Although the thin man ran away, he kept paying attention to the movement behind him. When he saw Zhou Jing easily prying away the middle-aged man, his heart sank.

At this time, when he realized that the long stick was shooting, he gave a strange cry and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Crack!

The long stick passed by, with great strength, it was nailed into the ground, inserted deeply, and stood at an angle.

If this is shot, people will be stabbed in the opposite direction!

The skinny person gasped, scared to the point of death, secretly regretting getting into trouble, and running away without looking back.

At this moment, however, Fang Zhen, who was beside him, had already unfastened the whip around his waist.

"Dare to provoke my brother~IndoMTL.com~ Come back to me!"

The whip rope is agile, coiled like a python, and wrapped around the waist of the thin person.

Fang Zhen pulled hard, and the small man was like a cloud and mist, and was dragged back in front of Zhou Jing, and fell to the ground in an embarrassment.

Without waiting for the little thief to speak, Zhou Jing clasped his neck with one hand and lifted him into the air, letting him kick in panic,

"I'm just here to watch the fun, but you dare to tease your grandfather? I'll give you two choices, either apologize obediently and go with me, or take three punches from me and see if you can handle it It's your choice."

Zhou Jing's fist swayed in front of the little thief, showing a sinister smile.

The small man looked at the fist of the sandbag, his teeth chattered, and he shivered:

"Hero... ah no, grandpa is joking, I'm so small, I don't need three punches, I'll be torn apart with one punch from you, grandpa spared me a small life, I know I was wrong!"
