Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 103 The End of the Xiao Family
Even though it was only an increase, this little bit of experience was enough for him to practice the Monkey King Skill for a long time.

"Marrow cleansing and body tempering."

In order to confirm the effect, Song Changming stayed and waited for a while.

But unfortunately, after the man who gambled for the marrow opened all the shells, he did not find any high-quality chalcedony.

He then went to another stall that was selling white jade shells, and when he saw high-quality chalcedony, he bought it without hesitation.

The piece of chalcedony I got has more yellow inside and is clearer and more transparent.

The quality was undoubtedly better than the one he had just eaten, and the selling price was three silver coins, which was already very expensive.

From the happy look on the customer’s face, it was clear that he had won the bet.

Song Changming ate it again.

The numbing feeling just now appeared again, more obvious, lasting for a few seconds before disappearing.

Song Changming kept staring at the martial arts experience value on the panel.

Sure enough, his Monkey Power and Body Refining Experience Points increased almost synchronously, this time by two points.

It’s still not much, but this only means that the quality of the chalcedony he ate was not good enough.

However, there was no sign of increasing experience points for the other physical exercises.

It can be concluded that this chalcedony does have an effect similar to marrow cleansing.

Although it is not as exaggerated as a complete transformation, it is undoubtedly a great thing for warriors who are focusing on marrow cleansing and body refining.

For Song Changming, this discovery today was an unexpected surprise.

This kind of good stuff that can directly help him and increase his physical training experience is not often seen on a daily basis!
If I can collect more in the future and combine it with the Spirit Monkey Skill, my body refining efficiency will increase dramatically.

But just like wild ginseng, high-quality chalcedony is still a bit expensive and cannot be purchased indiscriminately.

In addition to chalcedony and aquatic creatures with strange blood, some precious plants in the sea are also worthy of his attention.

Maybe you can find more treasures that can directly increase your body training experience.

A day later, the county magistrate sent a group of officials from the Grain Transport Bureau to regain control of the port and establish rules and regulations.

At the same time, in order to guard against the resurgence of the Dinghai Sea Gang, he ordered the elite troops under the command of the captain to be stationed directly at the port and continue to assist the Caoyunsi in its work.

The patrol team brought by Zhuang Ren can now return.

Song Changming returned to the county town on the same day to complete the mission. At the same time, he received a reward of two hundred silver coins from Zhuang Ren as an encouragement for his outstanding performance in this mission.

In addition to him, every patrol guard who went on a mission also received more or less money, but none of them received as much as Song Changming.

Song Changming also knew where the reward came from, so he didn't ask any more questions.

They all drank the soup, and the only ones who actually ate the meat were their chief general and the captain.

There's money here, just take it.

I can use this money to exchange for some high-quality chalcedony later.

Afterwards, the Dinghai Sea Gang seemed to want to vent their anger, and would occasionally return to the port to cause trouble for the government. They also took actions against government ships traveling on the sea and river, which was a headache.

The new county magistrate continued to dispatch troops and fought with the underworld gang until the end of the year, when the fight finally came to a temporary halt.

The port problem has not been completely solved yet. The reason is that the new county magistrate is still in the period of unstable establishment since taking office.

Before Xiao Jingchuan left, he almost emptied the entire Donglai County's development potential for the next few years, causing the county magistrate to be stretched to the limit in deploying troops, which was why he was never able to drive away the Dinghai Sea Gang.

But after the New Year, the Dinghai Water Gang is still lingering.

It was as if the previous quietness was just for going back home to celebrate the New Year, but now work starts again after the New Year.

Not only that, apart from the county seat, other county towns in Donglai County also experienced chaos and turmoil from time to time due to various reasons, which made people feel anxious and overwhelmed.

In fact, it was not only Donglai County that was experiencing turmoil, but other major states and counties were no exception.

It can be said that the entire Dahan Dynasty was in turmoil due to the current situation, with chaos and turmoil everywhere.

Fortunately, the old emperor has not passed away yet. With the power in his hands, he can still shock the six princes under him and prevent the situation in the world from sliding into an irreversible situation.

In addition, after the New Year, a piece of news from outside the county was reported back to Donglai County, causing quite a stir.

The army led by Xiao Jingchuan was completely defeated!

Several captives were escorted back to the imperial capital. However, the leader of the rebellion, Xiao Jingchuan, the former governor of Donglai County, was unwilling to be captured after the defeat and eventually chose to commit suicide with a knife at the end of his rope.

Such an ending is undoubtedly very sad.

Once upon a time, this county magistrate of the Xiao family was a powerful figure in Donglai County, comparable to a local emperor.

Now, in just half a year, he has fallen so fast that there is no chance of recovery.

And with Xiao Jingchuan's defeat, the entire Xiao family was basically completely destroyed.

Most of the family members died along with Xiao Jingchuan, and the rest were all captured.

Only a few female family members were left, and they were sent away in advance by Xiao Jingchuan, giving them a chance to escape.

Of his two sons, the eldest son is still being tortured in the imperial prison and has little chance of survival.

The other Xiao Yanli has been missing for a long time and there is no news of him.

If the Xiao family still has a chance to revive, it can only be through Xiao Yanli.

But these are no longer important to the entire Donglai County.

The Xiao family has completely become a thing of the past, and no one will mention it again in a few years.

Song Changming was also quite emotional when he learned about this at home.

He personally had no feelings towards the Xiao family. He just felt that this towering building, with years of foundation, collapsed and was destroyed in just a moment, and it was unexpected that the result would be like this.

"I don't know if the Fourth Miss can accept such an outcome," Song Changming said to himself.

The only person he had a relationship with in the Xiao family was Xiao Shuyun. At the same time, in a certain prefecture in the north.

Inside a house, the cries of a group of old, weak, women and children could be heard lingering in the air.

"Miss." Min'er looked at the delicate figure standing under the jujube tree in front of her, and was quite worried.

"I'm fine." Xiao Shuyun's voice was a little hoarse and trembling, but there was no cry in her voice.

Her eyes had already turned red, but she was trying hard not to cry like the other women in the room.

"Before leaving Donglai County, I had already imagined countless outcomes and was mentally prepared."

Min'er knew that her young lady was just holding on. She wanted to bury the pain of losing her father and the sorrow of being homeless deep in her heart and not show it.

Right now, there are quite a few people following her, all looking at her.

She could no longer show her weak side as easily as she did when she was younger.

"No news yet, Third Brother?"

Xiu Er shook her head and said, "The Third Young Master has not been found yet."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Shuyun held onto the jujube tree beside her, closed her eyes, and just stood quietly in the yard, digesting the emotions in her heart.

"One day, I will be able to stand on my own. Even without my third brother or anyone else, I will revive the Xiao family!"

On the other side, on a wide official road, a convoy was moving slowly forward.

Among them, next to one of the carriages, there was a two-meter-tall burly figure riding a tall horse, looking straight ahead with a stern and serious expression.

This person was Lu Zheng, who had left Donglai County and was another old friend of Song Changming.

Inside the carriage, a hand lifted the curtain and a person's face appeared. It was Gu Wenhui, who had relocated with his clansmen early on.

"Xiao Jingchuan is dead." Gu Wenhui said lightly.

"Well, as you said, this has come true." Lu Zheng nodded.

"It's somewhat of a pity." Gu Wenhui shook his head.

"The first force to defy the imperial court was wiped out so cleanly and efficiently. Those who were ready to make further moves will probably retreat and wait and see.

Whatever, it's just a matter of waiting a few more years, which gives me time to prepare more."

Seeing him say this, Lu Zheng was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is the chaos in the world really unstoppable?"

Gu Wenhui looked at Lu Zheng and smiled. "This world is always divided and united, and it goes on and on. There is no such thing as eternal prosperity. Now we are just following the trend. It's just a matter of time."

After hearing this, Lu Zheng didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front of the carriage.

"Sir, we are almost at the imperial capital."

Gu Wenhui leaned his head out of the carriage and looked at the towering city wall in the distance that seemed to be connected to the horizon. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"From now on, my Gu family will take root here again."

Time is like a river, it can only flow away and never return.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

Over the past year or so, there has been chaos and rumors everywhere.

More and more people are realizing that the peaceful days of the past seem to be fading away irretrievably.

No one can predict how long this turmoil will last, and whether the world situation will become more serious in the future.

Splendid streets, flowers all over the building.

"It seems that there are a lot more wanderers in the city recently." Song Changming drank the tea in the bowl and looked at the noise on the street outside the building, and couldn't help but say.

Liang Zhaolong, who was standing by, heard Song Changming's question and immediately explained, "It's because Liu Dingsheng is going to retire from the underworld in the county city in a few days. I guess many people related to him have heard the news and come here recently."

"Liu Dingsheng?" Song Changming was stunned. In order to break through the Bull Demon Skill a while ago, he turned a deaf ear to everything else and had been practicing hard in seclusion.

Only now have I started to pay attention to the current hot news in the city.

"Is that the chivalrous thief who used to rob the rich and give to the poor every now and then?"

"Yes, it's him." Liang Zhaolong nodded.

"I heard that he is originally from Donglai County. Now he wants to retire, so he came back here to retire."

"It's quite ceremonial." Song Changming curled his lips and said, "Is this person wanted by the government? Is there a reward on him?"

"There was one in the early years, but this man was quite resourceful. He asked the government to withdraw the wanted reward for him a few years ago. Now he is no longer a wanted criminal." Liang Zhaolong said.

He knew his chief patrol officer. If Liu Dingsheng still had the reward money on him, his chief patrol officer might come to his house and ask him to retire in prison.

Song Changming is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"What a pity." Upon hearing this, Song Changming immediately lost interest in this once famous thief.

He is not a man of the world. When others became famous, he was just a kid who knew nothing.

Perhaps only those star-chasing people in the world would regard him as a role model for us.

"Keep an eye on the streets during this period. Most of these gangsters are impulsive. Don't let them disrupt the law and order in the city." Song Changming finally instructed Liang Zhaolong.

"I understand." Liang Zhaolong nodded.

As he was speaking, a patrol guard suddenly came walking quickly.

"Boss, something happened in the downtown area."

Song Changming and Liang Zhaolong looked at each other, and what they said was exactly what happened.
