On the Avenue.

Chapter 195 A gentleman takes revenge, killing people with blood
Those people followed closely behind Chen Shi's wooden cart, staring at Chen Shi. One of them, a woman wearing a red apron on the upper body and a cassia skirt on the lower body, activated the Thousand Mile Sound Signal Talisman, and it was unknown who she was trying to contact.

They were following very skillfully. When they reached a fork in the road, one person left the main road and entered the fork. In front of Chen Shi's wooden cart, a woodcutter who was resting got up at this time, picked up two loads of firewood and continued on his way, but his eyes fell on Chen Shi.

When they reached the next fork in the road, there was a town nearby. A scholar who was eating noodles in the market saw Chen Shi's wooden cart passing by. He did not bother to finish the ramen in the bowl. He just slurped the noodles at the corner of his mouth, stood up, took out the money, put the money on the table, and quickly walked towards the provincial capital post road.

Along the way, the people following Chen Shi changed two or three times, each with a different appearance, but the woman in the hehuan skirt remained the same.

Chen Shi was sitting in the car, seemingly unaware of anything, but in fact he took the entire scene in sight and felt a chill in his heart.

"This Prince of Yudu can actually mobilize so many people in Xinxiang to monitor me. It's hard to imagine how powerful he is!"

By evening, the wooden cart drove into the provincial capital of Xinxiang.

Chen Shi had been to the provincial capital once before. When Qianyang Mountain Lord revived, he took over his body and flew him to Xinxiang provincial capital. At that time, he was in a small temple looking outside. This time he came to the provincial capital in person, and what he saw was naturally very different from the last time.

The provincial capital of Xinxiang is built along the coast. On the east side near the sea, there is a towering city wall that stands tall and gives a strong sense of oppression.

The city wall is steep, and on top stands a huge bronze mirror. From time to time, there is a creaking sound of gears turning. The bronze mirror moves, illuminating the sea and driving back monsters.

Under the east wall is the slum, where the poor of Xinxiang Province live. There are all kinds of shacks, muddy, cramped and crowded streets, and people here are a mixed bag of all kinds of people. Besides people, the most common are Xinxiang rats, which are very large and come out of the sewers from time to time to steal all kinds of food, sometimes even children.

The west of the city is the wealthy area, where dignitaries, merchants and landlords often live.

The south and north of the city are civilian areas with developed commerce and a wide variety of goods.

When living in the city, there is no need to worry about evil spirits, because the city is guarded by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Book of the Earth. Any evil spirit that sneaks into the city will be discovered immediately and killed directly.

If someone died in the city, the body had to be burned immediately to prevent it from becoming evil.

But this is Xinxiang after all, and there are many rats in Xinxiang. From time to time, a rat dies and is illuminated by the moonlight, turning into evil spirits to hurt people. Sometimes the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Earth Book cannot find it, which will cause quite a stir.

These things are difficult to remove and will hide in the sewers. At this time, there will be talisman masters hired by the government to enter the sewers to kill evil spirits.

Chen Shi's wooden cart drove into the west of the city. His residence was in the west of the city. When Governor Xu Jian sent the house deed and the land deed, he also sent a map of the house. Chen Shi followed the map to his house. He saw that the house was quite large, with a high gate and two drum stones in the shape of book boxes on the left and right in front of the door, and three steps.

Chen Shi walked forward and knocked on the door. The door opened and a beautiful girl opened the door a palm-wide crack. She blinked her eyes smartly, glanced at Chen Shi, and was extremely happy. She hurriedly opened the door.

"The master is back! Juanzi, Xiaofeng, come here quickly! The master is back!"

She opened the door completely and welcomed Chen Shi in. She was overjoyed, as if she had known Chen Shi for a long time. She smiled and said, "Master, we sisters have been looking forward to your return home for a long time. Now you are finally back!"

Chen Shi was stunned and felt the enthusiasm coming towards him, but it was clearly the first time he saw this girl.

Upon hearing the words, several more girls ran out from the yard, and came to Chen Shi like colorful baby birds, singing and dancing, chirping and talking about how the master had worked hard and how the master had not been home for many days. This enthusiasm made Chen Shi really difficult to bear, but at the same time he felt extremely happy.

Another girl came with a copper basin filled with hot water of just the right temperature, and a maid warmed the water with a clean white towel and used it to wipe Chen Shi's hands, face and neck.

There was also a servant who took the dog and the wooden cart to the back door, opened the back door and let the dog and the cart into the house.

Heiguo was very unhappy. He barked twice and complained about the unequal treatment.

But immediately a servant came over and combed its hair. Another servant brought the exotic beast meat, cut it into strips, and fed it to it one by one, serving it like a master dog.

Hei Guo's anger turned into joy and he was very satisfied.

Even wooden carts have people to take care of them, cleaning the dust, oiling and waxing them.

Chen Shi didn't know when he sat on the armchair, nor when he picked up the teacup and drank the fragrant tea, and he didn't know when these girls undressed him and changed into comfortable casual clothes.

There was also a girl half kneeling and half squatting at his feet, rubbing Mr. Chen's calves, and then pounding them upwards with her little fists. There was another girl behind him rubbing his shoulders with just the right amount of strength, neither too light nor too heavy.

"The master's happiness is unimaginable to outsiders." Chen Shi put down the teacup, feeling emotional.

At this time, the door was opened and the door panels were removed by the servants, revealing the theater opposite. The sound of stringed instruments and music began, and then a gorgeous singing girl dressed in costume walked onto the stage and danced gracefully.

When her voice starts singing, it sounds like a lark, melodious and pleasant.

The singer sang a song of everlasting sorrow, then leaped into the air, with colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind, and shuttled around the theater. The singer stepped on the fluttering ribbons, rose gracefully, and arrived above the lotus pond in front of the theater, where she danced on the lotus leaves.

Two more girls came to the left and right sides of the lotus pond and waved their long sleeves. The white sleeves formed a bright moon, which just covered the singer in the middle.

The singer was lying on her side, leaning against the bright moon. She looked sad and sang a mournful song, as if she was blaming the king for his ruthlessness, yet also singing a bit of longing for him.

"Master's life is so happy." Chen Shi clapped his hands and shook his head in admiration.

This is a life that only gods can live. I didn’t expect that Mr. Chen also enjoyed it.

"Gotta burn some of this for my grandpa!"

Mr. Chen was kindhearted. While enjoying the music, he thought, "Grandpa has worked hard all his life, but he has never enjoyed himself."

When it was time for dinner, the maids helped Mr. Chen change his clothes and put on another set of dining attire to prevent the smell of food from seeping into his regular clothes. Then another girl brought warm water and wiped Mr. Chen's hands and face.

Chen Shi had just sat down when the cook had already prepared the meal. The girls came in one after another, carrying bowls, plates and dishes, and filled the table with delicacies from the mountains, the land and the sea.

Chen Shi didn't need to pick up chopsticks himself, as a girl would pick up food and feed him. He only needed to move his eyes and the girl would know which dish he wanted to eat, and would immediately pick it up and put it into Mr. Chen's mouth. A maid would then wipe the corners of Mr. Chen's mouth attentively.

I am enjoying myself here and don’t miss Huangpo Village.

Chen Shi sighed comfortably. What's the point of fighting and killing in this kind of life? Just enjoy it.

In the government office, Governor Xu Jian listened to the report from his spy, who described Chen Shi's behavior in detail in the mansion. He nodded with satisfaction and smiled to Xia Mingdong, the imperial censor, who was standing beside him: "Lord Xia, Xijing's move is brilliant. Even if you are a hero, you will fall in the land of gentleness."

Xia Yushi laughed and said, "Chen Shi is tired of living in poverty. Once he enters this land of comfort, his anger will disappear and he will be immersed in the pleasures of life and unable to extricate himself."

General Cui Zhen also laughed and said, "As the saying goes, poverty breeds evil, and wealth breeds conscience! When Chen Shi was poor, he was vicious and evil, and wherever he went, he killed people. Two governors of Xinxiang, one Xinxiang county magistrate, one Lei county magistrate, and one governor of Gongzhou all died because of him. Now that he has money and wealth, he is naturally timid in doing things, fearing that he will lose his wonderful life now."

Bao Tixing laughed and said, "When people have concerns in their hearts, they become cowardly. This is true for us, and Chen Shi is also like this."

In the government office, all the dignitaries of Xinxiang Province gathered together, and Chen Shi’s residence was full of their people. Chen Shi’s every move and every word was under their control.

This was Chen Shi's first time living in the house in the west of the city, so they naturally took it very seriously and kept sending people to report to him. "Living in a house like this, the money spent every day is like water. With his little money as a talisman master, the money he earns in a month may not be enough to cover his daily expenses!"

The commander-in-chief Zhai Qingzhai said with a smile, "If he has no money, he will go to find money. If he wants to find money, he can only come to us. In this way, the boy will be ours."

"In this way, Xinxiang will be peaceful!"

Everyone laughed.

At this time, someone else came to report: "My Lords, Master Chen was bathing, and the maids wanted to bathe with him, but Master Chen chased them out."

"What a pity! She is still a novice and has never tasted meat."

Governor Xu, Censor Xia and the others all laughed and said, "My Lords, do you want to make a bet? Let's bet on how long he can last before he can eat meat!"

Deputy General Yan Wangyan said with a smile: "I bet that he will have sex tonight! With so many beautiful girls, I don't believe he can resist! I bet one thousand taels of silver!"

"I'll bet for two days!"

Li Yin, the Minister of State Affairs, said with a smile, "A young scholar is still a young scholar after all, he still has some self-control. I will also bet one thousand taels of silver!"

The gentlemen were interested and placed their bets.

Not long after, someone came to report: "My Lords, Mr. Chen is pruning bamboo."

Governor Xu was stunned: "Trimming bamboo? He is not sleeping with a woman at this time, why is he trimming bamboo? Go and check again!"

After a while, someone came to report, "Mr. Chen is asking where the former governor's widow lives."

In the government office, all the officials were stunned. The former governor was Li Xiaozheng. Li Xiaozheng explored the stone ship and his life or death was unknown, but it was expected that he was dead. His widows Xia Weiyin and Yan Jingshu lived with their families in a house in the southwest of the city and had never returned to their hometown in Quanzhou.

"My Lords, Master Chen has transformed bamboo into a bird."

Someone else came to report, "The bamboo that Mr. Chen just cut turned into many birds and flew away."

In the government office, all the officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bao Tixing suddenly said, "I checked the files. Chen Shi once had a conflict with Lord Li's family in Xinxiang County. It seems that it was because a nanny in the Li Mansion killed a student who was taking the imperial examination in Xinxiang County and took away the man's divine fetus. Chen Shi teamed up with another teacher to kill the Li family!"

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the lords, and they all stood up. Lord Li Yin hurried out and said angrily: "He even dared to touch my sister-in-law. He is tired of living!"

Yan Wang and Xia Mingdong were also startled and rushed out. Yan Jingshu was the married daughter of the Yan family, and Xia Weinyen was from the Xia family, so they were naturally very concerned.

"Three adults!"

Governor Xu said quickly, "He is a young scholar. According to Xijing news, we must not touch him!"

Li Yin was awed and said, "I almost caused a disaster! Thank you, Lord Xu, for reminding me!"

Governor Xu said, "But we can't let him do anything wrong! Go and protect the two ladies. Don't make any mistakes!"

Li Yin, Yan Wang and Xia Mingdong said yes and flew away.

It was now night, the moonlight was bright, and the Li Mansion where the former governor Li Xiaozheng lived was quiet. In the past, when Li Xiaozheng was still alive, as the governor, the Li Mansion was bustling even at night, with constant singing and dancing, guests and hosts toasting, laughter soaring into the sky, and string music playing until dawn.

But when a person dies, all other matters end. The Li Mansion is now much quieter, with only some family members and maids living here. In order to save expenses, all the servants were dismissed.

Second Madam Yan Jingshu is practicing. She has neglected her practice for a long time.

The world is not fair to women. Cultivation is difficult, and it is even more difficult for women. Not only do they have to be pregnant for ten months, but they cannot cultivate the Nascent Soul during pregnancy. If they cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, they must destroy the Nascent Soul before they can get pregnant.

She was a well-known talented woman in the Yan family, but after she married into her husband's family, she had to abort her Yuanying when she became pregnant.

She gave birth to three children, and her youngest son Li Tianxiu was only twelve years old.

After Li Tianxiu was born, she had no intention of practicing. After all, with Li Xiaozheng at home, her practice was meaningless. Now that Li Xiaozheng's life or death was unknown, the burden of the family fell on her and the first wife Xia Weiyin. She had to practice, hoping to achieve something and turn the tide.

Just then, the sound of birds singing came from outside, which was very clear and pleasant.

Yan Jingshu opened her eyes and saw a kingfisher with bright green feathers flying on the window frame.

Yan Jingshu was surprised. Where did the kingfisher come from so late at night?

At this time, many kingfishers flew over and landed on the window frames. Some flew into her room. They had sharp beaks and turned their heads to look at her.

Yan Jingshu felt something was wrong, and a loud shout came from outside: "My two sisters-in-law, those birds are wrong, hide quickly!"

As soon as the sound reached her ears, the kingfisher suddenly flew up and turned into a bunch of emerald green bamboos with one end of the bamboo pointed and extremely sharp!

When Yan Jingshu saw these bamboos, she couldn't help but think of the scene where her son Li Tianxiu was pierced by bamboo!
"It's him!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Each of the green bamboos contained terrifying power, which transformed into stabbing swords and crisscrossed back and forth in this small room. The extremely sharp sword energy instantly pierced dozens of holes in the wall of the room!
If you look along these holes, you can see that Yan Jingshu's body is also pierced!

At the same time, Madam Xia Weiyin was stabbed on the bed by dozens of bamboos. The sharp bamboos pierced through her body and she died on the spot!
At the Chen residence, Chen Shi stood by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky. He gently raised his hand, and the paper crane in his hand flapped its wings and flew up, turning into a fairy crane and flew away.

In Qiaowan Town, Wencai Academy, private school teacher Fu Leisheng had already gone to bed when there was a knock on the window.

He got up, put on his clothes, opened the window, and saw a paper crane pecking at the window.

Fu Leisheng was slightly startled and opened the paper crane. Under the moonlight, there was a line of elegant but powerful handwriting on the paper.

"Chief examiner Tian Huaiyi, classmate Shen Yusheng, the great revenge has been taken, the noble lady surrenders, sir, please do not worry. Student Chen Shi, I bow my head!"
