C47 The King of Earth Xiao Letian

"Xiang Shaolong, you idiot. Now you know what it's like to have a falling out with book reader?" This group of intellectuals who occupy the highest point of public opinion, once they get down from black hand, they will be no weaker than bandit! " Xiao Letian put down the information brought by the pigeon, Sima Yun's words on the silk scroll were still fresh in his mind.

The night after Sima Yun's warning, Xiang Jia Village encountered the encirclement and annihilation of the local Green Camp soldiers. The one commanding the army was actually Chief Qian. That night, the sound of gunshots rang out in Xiang Jia Village. The flames soared to the sky, and when the wolf-like Green Camp soldiers rushed into the mansion, they discovered that the hundreds of people in the entire Xiang Jia Village had all disappeared.

Xiang Shaolong was not Idiot. He was Xiang Shaolongson of the North, Friends of the Jianghu. Furthermore, there was also the trade road that led to the Zhangjiakou in Yan Qing. During his many years of operation, Xiang Shaolongson had befriended bandit and the mounted bandits, who were outside of the city. When he found out that the Qing soldiers were going to annihilate the Xiang Jia Village, he split the whole village into dozens of small teams and dived into the deep mountains, heading straight for the business outside the mouth.

The cunning rabbit had three holes, not to mention Dragon Lord.

When the news of the disappearance of the entire village of Xiang Jia Village was spread to the Northern Capital City, the calm and composed Qingliu Leader Weng Tonghe surprisingly frowned, and wandered around the house. Housekeeper was puzzled. Even if his master saw Emperor and Empress Mother, he would always be neither humble nor haughty. Why was he acting a little haughtily today?

When Housekeeper tried to persuade him, Weng Tonghe shook his head and said, "You don't understand. You don't even understand. "Ever since this Xiao Letian appeared, I suddenly had a premonition that things were going to change. I could feel that the smell around me had changed …"

"Assassinating two evil spirits, even the killer turned traitor? He actually let him go? This was simply unimaginable in the past. I have already promised to protect one of his Family's High Scholar's spots, and that is their Xiang Jia Village's hope of making a comeback in hundreds of years … But? But he actually let them go halfway? Could it be that he, Xiao Letian, has a bewitching evil art? "

Weng Tonghe paced back and forth in the study irritably, "Now it's fine, there's actually someone on the way to inform us? Thousands of Green Camp soldiers carrying firearms were not even able to capture a single survivor? The entire manor had fled. If there was no wife, then there would be no one to blame … Why is it that when you stick to Xiao Letian, things become so complicated! "

In the end, Weng Tonghe was so angry that he was already shaking. "This is evil spirits. This is the biggest enemy of us, the biggest enemy of life and death …"

Even Housekeeper was shocked by the old master's words. He didn't expect that the noble scholar Leader would give such high praise to two evil spirits. He wanted to fight against the Confucian who had thousands of years of heritage? Isn't he overestimating me?

"Old master, if that's the case, I'll go and take a look. There must be even better assassins in the world. I don't believe that he can't kill them!" Housekeeper said angrily.

"Stupid!" On one hand, Xiao Letian is already on his guard, and on the other hand, his prestige has already risen. Famous people in Beijing are always being assassinated, do you think the court is just a decoration? "

"Also, I am a dignified Imperial Advisor, not a deranged homicidal maniac. Killing for the sake of demonstration is a righteous cause, I have never regretted it. "However, when Enemy has already set out to fight me fair and square, I will definitely not shy away …

At that moment, Weng Tonghe's face was filled with holiness, his heart was filled with strong confidence. Confucian's thousands of years of accumulation had given him countless connections and resources, he would never believe that two evil spirits could win, never.

"Mo!" I want to make a report and promise Xiao Letian will enter Han Lin! "

"Huh?" Housekeeper's jaw almost fell off. This is the master's plan, why is he still in a hurry to send me off?

Weng Tonghe smiled, and as if he had an ingenious plan in front of him, he lifted the pen and began to hold Xiao Letian for the fourth rank. Just as he was writing, a figure was already crawling on the roof of study for two hours. The shadow had heard everything that was said in the room clearly, and he held a Penetrating Bone Nail in his hand, hesitating on whether to make a move.

Jianghu People, who wanted to assassinate Weng Tonghe, had no one other than Xiang Shaolong. However, China Popular's thousands of years of respect for book reader made him hesitate. Weng Tonghe was currently at the peak of second rank. Moreover, it was Qingliu Leader. He had never heard of any sort of vulgarity from Weng Hanlin.

Was it really good to kill such a high ranking official? But why did this official want to assassinate Xiao Letian? Why did you kill my Xiang Family after the matter was exposed? Was this what a court official should do?

It was only today that he finally got an accurate answer from Weng Tonghe. It turned out that Weng Hanlin had made a choice on the basis of the life and death of the entire Confucian, so killing Xiao Letian was definitely an act of helplessness.

Look at the current Weng Hanlin, he actually personally protected Xiao Letian as an official, is he going to turn Xiao Letian into a friend? Or did he want to have a fair fight? Wu couldn't understand it, but he secretly described it as a confrontation between the Easterners and the eunuchs at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right there. Xiao Letian didn't do anything to make people angry. Even if he was unforgivable, he had just returned home, so there was no chance for him to do bad things no matter what he wanted to do. At that moment, Xiang Shaolong was at a loss.

On the second day, Weng Tonghe's clasp was placed in front of empress dowagers. When Ci Xi and Ci An saw it, they laughed. This Weng Hanlin, he really wants to drag Xiao Letian to the Hanlin House with a belly full of playthings? That was a clean and simple place, and he could not help but rub it.

"Oh Shu Ping, oh Shu Ping!" You don't even have to think about it. You don't even have to buy a second rank top disciple with the surname Xiao, why would you want a fourth rank top student like you? "Forget it, I'll just leave the clasp in there."

It took three days for Weng Tonghe's farce to reach Xiao Letian's ears. At that time, Xiao Letian frowned as he understood that Weng Tonghe was trying to get something out of it. He, the clasp, did not have any hope of passing. He only wanted to send a signal to the people, saying, "I, Weng Shu Ping, am so magnanimous, and I am so fond of talent."

"Truly shameless. These people from the Qing Dynasty would always powder their faces. Why don't they just bully Old Wu and steel …" Xiao Letian didn't take it to heart at all after hearing it, and started writing his "Journey to the West" as soon as he finished. However, not long after, Fan Lian unexpectedly walked in from outside with a weird expression on his face.

"Aiya, Manager Fan, why are you so relaxed today?" How is the progress in purchasing the scattered silver … "

"Mr. Xiao... "I didn't come here today for that. I have a letter for mister to take a look …" Fan Lian took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Letian.

Opening the letter, he saw that it was a letter from Fan Ru, the elder brother, to Brothers. At the beginning, there were only procedural greetings and words of reminiscence. He hoped that Brothers would be able to return to the Family. In the end, Fan Ru also told Brothers a piece of good news, although the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not regain his status as the Fan family's Royal Merchant, but he had already handed over some leather goods and salt products that were not in his mouth to the Fan family to do. It seemed like there was hope for him to regain his status as the Family's.

When Xiao Letian finished reading the letter, Fan Lian bitterly smiled and said, "The letter was full of demonstrations, showing off to me, but …" However, someone brought me a message from my brother... He said that as long as I tell him everything about you, mister, he will ensure that I return to the Family, and that the Fan family will even be able to recover his status as a first stage Royal Merchant … "

Ah!" Xiao Letian finally understood that some of the forces in the capital had already set their eyes on Fan Lian and wanted him to be Spy. Perhaps they thought that throwing out a first grade Royal Merchant's position was already a heavenly gift. A group of lowly Trader would just rush over like a vicious dog stealing a bone.

"What do you think?" Xiao Letian said with a smile.

"Humph!" This is just coaxing a dumb dog onto the wall. Not to mention a predetermined Royal Merchant, even if he were to give Royal Merchant a real one right now, I still wouldn't be interested in him. "From mister's book, I can already see Trader's power. The West views Trader as a pillar of the Country, unlike the Daqing who views us as Slave …"

"With Royal Merchant's reputation, he can only earn twenty-three million taels of silver a year. However, he has to pay them ninety percent of the bribes every year. Only then will Idiot be able to work for them." "My brother is a complete brainwashed idiot …"

Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Alright, old shopkeeper, don't be angry. Since your brother has written a letter, you can agree to it temporarily. If you refuse at once, it will arouse suspicion. "Then, you will just have to pass on some useless information. Maybe one day, your identity as a double-faced Spy will be of great help to me."

After saying that, Xiao Letian suddenly stood up, took out his pocket watch and looked at it carefully: "It's almost 11, it's already time for lunch, today I will make the two of us Liuhe Building s to go have a drink, three days ago Liuhe Building's Owner already said he wants to treat me …"

It was no longer Liu Tie's destitute look. When he came out of Qing San Ye's house, he was accompanied by eighteen burly men. The valiant smell of a hundred elite soldiers could rush to the end of the street. At first, Xiao Letian was disgusted by this kind of grand display, but it was a pity that Shi Dakai had given the absolute order to not let Xiao Letian leave the restaurant unless he had enough guards with him.

This was only Security on the surface, but he was protecting three times as many people in the dark. At first, Xiao Letian wasn't used to it, but after hearing about the passing of time, even an unpopular High Scholar in the countryside had to wait on seven or eight servants. He was the famous Alone overseas, so there weren't many servants with him.

When Xiao Letian and the rest reached the entrance of the shop, they found out that the shopkeeper had already been waiting for them at the door. It turned out that someone had already booked a room with the "Sky" sign in advance.

"Greetings to Master Xiao … Grandpa Xiao, you're so lucky... "Zhou Tie, to the top of the building, please enter …" When Xiao Letian appeared, it caused a huge commotion. At this time, Xiao Letian was already the grandson of the Yi County. From Liu County Order down, as long as the yamen was on duty, there would be no one who didn't take Mr. Xiao's money.

constable head, Main Book, Classic History... Since this place was not far from the County Yamen, these Wu Tie who wrote the blood letter and pressed the blood palm before all smiled and came over to pay their respects to Xiao Letian.

Zhou Tie and the others who were usually like grandpa were all stunned. The County Yamen's adults and his men, who were usually like grandpa, were laughing like mad today, especially Wang Hu, who was not only smiling respectfully but also looking at them with a trace of fear in his eyes.

He had personally seen Xiao Letian burn Tai Ling. He had already completely lost his courage when facing two evil spirits who dared to act so recklessly, and now, even if Xiao Letian forced him to rebel, he could not reject it.

During this period of time, Liu County Order and Wang Hu began to bribe the officials of underhand with the silver dollar s of Xiao Letian. After killing an inconspicuous treasurer and a Grand Master who wanted to keep the secret for a while, the entire official level of Yi County became quiet.

"Look, that grandpa is the one who wrote The Journey to the West , the one nicknamed Grand Master of Western Studies, Xiao Letian. That's the famous Alone overseas …"

"Aiyo, hey, I was really lucky today. To be able to catch a glimpse of a great grandmaster and get a bit of that literary aura, my ancestor's grave is already emitting green smoke …"

"Gentlemen, what kind of official position is this Grandmaster? Just how big is it? "

"Tch!" "What a gavel! Great Grandmasters are the founder of our sect. They can't compare to Kong Meng but they are still more than enough to fight against Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming and the others!"

Amidst crowd's discussion, crowd sent Xiao Letian to the third floor like a crowd of celebrities.
