Chapter 154 A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall
During this period, after Shen Qing killed the tiger monster and shot the leader of the Mi Gang to death, Shen Qing unknowingly gained a certain reputation in the county.

Under the name of Shen Qing, Tian Xiaohu made many friends in the county, so it was very convenient for him to get information.

After spending almost half a day, Tian Xiaohu had already gotten a general idea of ​​many things that happened in the inner city.

"You mean, the Zhou family is not only selling off the assets in the city, but is also preparing carriages and horses to evacuate Taiping County?"

Shen Qing sat at the octagonal table in the living room, listening to the news brought by Tian Xiaohu.

Tian Xiaohu nodded and said, "I have a friend who often goes to the Zhou family. He said that now the Zhou family is packing their bags and dismissing some servants who don't want to follow. They are planning to evacuate."

"Where are they going?"

"The county capital, Yongzhou."

Shen Qing fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed, his hands placed on the table, his fingers tapping on the table in turn, making rhythmic sounds.

His brows knitted slightly, and he asked the question that concerned him the most: "The Zhou family was doing fine before, why did they suddenly want to go to Yongcheng, the county capital? Have you found out about this?"

"I'm not very clear about the details, but I heard that someone from the Zhou family in Yongzhou came and asked them to move out." Tian Xiaohu said truthfully.

"Yongzhou Zhou Family? What kind of immortals are these?"

Tian Xiaohu asked: "Qingzi, do you know the Thirteen Great Men of Yongzhou?"

"I don't know, what's the explanation?"

"I heard that in Yongzhou, the county capital, there are thirteen noble families controlling thirteen trades. Even the county government is controlled by them. The Zhou family is one of them. I heard that it is the most powerful family, with the innate ancestor in charge."

Tian Xiaohu leaned against Shen Qing and continued, "The Zhou family in Taiping County is a branch of the Yongzhou Zhou family. The owner, Zhou Dingwen, is the son of the concubine of this ancestor."

After listening to this, Shen Qing said, "So someone from our family came to ask Zhou Dingwen to return to the branch?"

"should be."

Shen Qing stood up, took a step forward, and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "No, no. If I were Zhou Dingwen, I would definitely not agree to let my family go back. I have everything I want here. Isn't it good to be a local emperor? Not only will I have nothing if I go back, but I will also have to look at other people's faces. It's simply asking for trouble. Only a fool would agree to this, unless..."

Tian Xiaohu replied: "Unless what? Is Zhou Dingwen really out of his mind?"

Shen Qing glanced at Tian Xiaohu and said, "Unless he stays in Taiping County, it will be more terrible than having nothing."

"what?"

What could be more terrifying than this?

At this moment, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of Tang Wanrou.

At this special moment, the saints of the Huangtian Sect's Fang Army appeared outside the city and took the bows and crossbows from the county army arsenal.

There is a great possibility that the Huangtian Sect wants to attack Taiping County.

Shen Qing's whole body was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more this became true.

Only if the Huangtian Sect attacked the city and a war broke out in Taiping County would Zhou Dingwen be so frightened.

The Huangtian Sect is a real rebel, composed entirely of common people. Once they take over Taiping County, they will definitely target the rich owners like them.

At that time, it would not be a question of having nothing, but a question of life being in danger. Only then would Zhou Dingwen have the motivation to leave Taiping County.

Shen Qing's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Besides the Zhou family, has anything else happened in the county recently?"

Tian Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "In addition to the Zhou family, the Song family is also a little abnormal."

"What happened to them?"

"Before Song Gongming died, the other families were anxious to divide up the Song family's assets, and the Song family also tried their best to resist, but these past few days the Song family has been very honest and has not shown any resistance at all."

"Did you accept your fate, or did you find a backer and endure it?"

Shen Qing didn't know why, but he connected the changes in the Song family at this time with the Huangtian Sect, and always felt that there was some connection between the two.

"Also, the Taiping Escort Agency in the inner city has gone bankrupt and disbanded. There has been no news about Escort Captain Tang and his family. I think they have left the county." Tian Xiaohu said casually.

Shen Qing was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help feeling disgusted with the county magistrate Du Yuntong.

If things went as he expected, the Taiping Escort Agency must be his doing.

Previously, they used the tiger demon to eliminate dissidents and weaken the county's martial arts power. If they encounter problems, they will just cover them up.

If the Huangtian Sect really attacked the county town as he expected, Shen Qing would not have the slightest confidence in such a county magistrate.

"That's all I've found out."

Shen Qing stood at the door. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He turned around and said, "Xiao Hu, do you want to go to the county town?"

"Going to the county town?"

"Yeah." Shen Qing did not hide anything and said frankly: "I feel like I can't stay in this county anymore. I want to move to another place."

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

He thought that the Huangtian Sect was not a good group of people. Since he already knew that the Huangtian Sect was going to attack Taiping County, it would be unwise to stay here.

It just so happened that he had the appointment document from the Yongzhou Military Department in his hand, and going there would be a good opportunity for him to enter the imperial court and learn more advanced martial arts to strengthen himself.

Now he is in troubled times and if he doesn't move forward he will fall behind. He must keep climbing up.

Otherwise, your life would be in danger at any time.

I don’t even know how I died.

When Tian Xiaohu heard Shen Qing's words, his face was full of surprise and he was a little confused.

It took less than half a year to move from Hongshan Village to the outer city, and then from the outer city to the inner city.

Now that he has just settled down, he has to go to a new place again. He just thinks Shen Qing is too troublesome.

However, when Tian Xiaohu recalled everything Shen Qing had done, he realized that almost every choice he made was extremely correct.

He decided to follow Shen Qing that day, and he should have believed in his choice.

After just a little consideration, Tian Xiaohu agreed.

"At home, if I am well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. I have nothing to worry about. Qingzi, I will go wherever you say to go."

Shen Qing said, "Then go back and pack up, and keep an eye on the Zhou family. If they leave, we will leave too."

"to make."

After Tian Xiaohu left, Shen Qing went straight to Linfeng Hall without delay.

Although many of his current judgments are just guesses, he is 70% sure in his heart.

It is only right and reasonable to inform the uncle of the hall master.

If he is willing, he can leave with us. If not, I have fulfilled my obligations as a disciple.

Probably influenced by Shen Qing.

Now, many new people have come to Linfeng Hall to practice martial arts, and the outer courtyard has become prosperous again.

When Shen Qing found Li Linfeng, he was having a small gathering with some old friends in the backyard.

Seeing Shen Qing, Li Linfeng ended the party early, intentionally or unintentionally, and then walked to Shen Qing's side and said, "Let's go to the study."

"it is good."

Li Linfeng knew how capable he was, and he could see that Shen Qing was now even stronger than when he was young, so his attitude had changed a bit, and he no longer put on airs like before.

After walking into the study, he gave Shen Qing a seat so that they could talk to each other on an equal footing.

However, Shen Qing still maintained his disciple etiquette, which made Li Linfeng have a very good impression of Shen Qing.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Shen Qing went straight to the point and said, "Master, I feel that things in the inner city have been a little uneasy these past few days. I want to go to the county city of Yongzhou. Do you have any ideas?"

"Did you notice it too?"

What do you mean? Shen Qing was very surprised.
