The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 38 The thugs who came to my door
Jia Zheng came to Aunt Zhao's side and was soon amused by her few words.

Although Aunt Zhao is a shrew in the original novel, she was a concubine chosen by Lady Jia from among her own maids.

You can be ignorant and brainless, but you will never have a bad appearance.

But it's impossible to say that she is really brainless.

This woman was very successful and blessed. She gave birth to Jia Tanchun and then Jia Huan, and they both grew up.

Throwing a tantrum without thinking may be a means of self-protection.

However, after pretending for a long time and getting used to it, she really became a shrew.

Although Jia Huan was only a few months old, he was not raised by Lady Wang.

Jia Zheng likes to stay by her side. He doesn't believe that this woman has no tricks.

Of course, Aunt Zhao, who came from a maid family, could not have any great wisdom.

It's nothing more than knowing how to please and serve Jia Zheng.

Perhaps the more serious a person is in normal times, the more he likes the women in his family to be simple and direct.

It is best to be serious in front of others and romantic behind their backs.

Jia Zheng is a pedantic person with character flaws, so he is likely to be attracted to aggressive women.

Mrs. Wang was furious.

Jia Zheng hadn't rested with her for a long time.

But after getting angry, he actually thought to himself that the more Jia Zheng behaved like this, the more it proved that his idea was correct.

At this time, Wang Ziteng was not the governor of the Beijing camp, nor was he even a Beijing official.

When Old Master Wang was still alive, he had always tried his best to cultivate Wang Xifeng's father, Wang Boteng.

When Wang Boteng was young, he performed well, but unfortunately he was a child from a wealthy family.

When he grew up, he was not good at literature and it was too late to switch to a military career.

Not to mention that he couldn't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts, Wang Boteng didn't have the courage to take up martial arts.

On the contrary, Wang Ziteng, the second legitimate son, performed quite well in the local area.

He definitely has the ability, but he is the second son, not the eldest son.

When Old Master Wang got older, he felt that his eldest son did not seem to be responsible.

The eldest grandson, Wang Ren, is even more of a playboy, even worse than his father when he was young.

So when he got older and resigned from his official position and returned home, he took Wang Boteng and his son back to his hometown in Jinling to take care of the family property of one acre and three mu of land.

It’s more than enough to be a rich man.

But Old Master Wang did not bring Wang Xifeng back to Jinling.

And he raised her in the capital and gave her to Wang Ziteng as his wife.

From that time on, the power and connections of the Wang family had actually been transferred to Wang Ziteng.

Wang Xifeng also had the opportunity to go to the Jia family from time to time.

Play with people like Jia Zhen and Jia Lian.

It was because she had more contact with the Jia family members that she was able to adapt to the role of the housekeeper's wife so quickly after marrying into the Jia family.

Not to mention that Mrs. Wang wrote a letter to Wang Boteng in Jinling on the same day, and Wang Ziteng who was an official in the south.

When Li Jingxiao reported to the Jinyiwei, not only was he ridiculed, but even the Jinyiwei commander was very polite to him.

Although the Jinyiwei were the emperor's personal army, the emperor could punish people, and the emperor emeritus could also punish people, even kill them.

Li Jingxiao was also responsible for the case of the imperial mausoleum. Anyone who was not stupid would not give him a hard time at this time.

What if this guy holds a grudge and uses his power to investigate the case to settle personal grudges?

Even if nothing happens in the end, he will definitely make you miserable.

If he really finds out something, it will be over.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao not only received the full military pay of a thousand households, but also got the power to train troops outside the city.

However, Li Jingxiao would not be so foolish as to recruit all 1120 people in the Qianhu Division before investigating the case of the imperial tomb.

So he didn't stay in Jinyiwei for long before returning to Daolusi. Shen Boping, Rao Guangxian, Yu Fubao and others were filled with emotion when they saw Li Jingxiao in a bright red Qilin robe.

I knew you had a bright future, but I never imagined that after only two months in office, the emperor personally promoted you twice.

If calculated according to the reward bestowed by the retired emperor, Li Jingxiao would have been promoted seven levels in a row based on the rank of Jinyi Qianhu.

Shen Boping originally planned to let Li Jingxiao go to the imperial mausoleum to avoid disaster, but he never knew that this would lead to great merit.

I can only say that luck has come, and it makes people jealous, but they can't be jealous enough.

Moreover, the three of them also attended the court today and saw with their own eyes those dozen or so mandrills with sharp teeth and claws, which were no shorter than normal humans.

Li Jingxiao relied on a long stick to kill so many strange beasts without any injury, so it was not surprising that he was promoted.

To put it bluntly, he is very lucky and has great strength, so no matter how much others envy him, it is useless.

Li Jingxiao proposed to transfer Zhao Junming and more than a dozen of his subordinates to the Jinyiwei.

Shen Boping did not hesitate at all.

He even asked Li Jingxiao if he wanted to take the opportunity to be transferred.

On the Daoluo Division side, Zhao Junming was first promoted to the chief flag, and then he took the strong men of 5 small flags to go to the Jinyiwei together.

From now on, Li Jingxiao will have his own team.

Li Jingxiao was really tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, there was actually not much difference between a dozen people and fifty or so people.

If it is really necessary, you can directly find Xia Shouzhong or Dai Quan and mobilize the soldiers of the East Factory or the Dragon Guard.

But it is necessary to promote Zhao Junming first.

He repeatedly assured Shen Boping, Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao that even though he was now mainly responsible for investigating the case, he was still a member of the Daoluo Division.

If there is any trouble, send someone to notify us directly.

Even in the future, Li Jingxiao might continue to work in the Daoluo Division.

Otherwise, you will have to go to the Qianhu Suo.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Daolu Division is in charge of strange things, and Li Jingxiao is reluctant to give up the opportunity to gain experience.

As soon as he left Shen Boping's official hall, Zhao Junming quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, the Taoist priest Liu from Tongzhou is here.

He also brought two fellow disciples dressed as Taoist priests."

Li Jingxiao's face lit up with joy, as he was just short of manpower. Liu Hongshi, a Maoshan Taoist priest who was not doing well, not only had no connection with the court, but was also the most suitable person to recruit as a thug.

As soon as they met, Liu Hongshi, his senior brother Shi Delong, and his junior brother Lin Yi hurriedly saluted Li Jingxiao, who was wearing a Qilin robe.

Li Jingxiao smiled and helped the three of them up, "Brother Liu is truly trustworthy. I was just wondering when you would come to visit me.

I didn't expect to invite Brother Shi and Brother Lin along, so we can get drunk today."

Medicinal wine was invented by Taoist priests, so people like Li Jingxiao and Liu Hongshi could naturally drink it.

As for the precepts, it is not allowed to drink alcohol.

Liu, Shi and Lin couldn't help but feel happy. Before coming here, they were worried that this young master would look down on them, his fellow disciples who were not doing well.

However, after meeting him, even though he had been promoted, his attitude remained the same as Liu Hongshi had said.

The three of them hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Li Jingxiao took the three Taoists and Zhao Junming's small flag and went directly to Zuixianlou and asked for two private rooms.

He let Zhao Junming and his men eat and drink by themselves, while he stayed with the three Taoists.

I didn’t expect that all three Taoist priests were so generous.

We drank for more than two hours and had two jars of wine, but it was just enough.

Li Jingxiao did not continue to persuade them to drink, and took the three of them back to Zhenwu Temple.

When Jia Heng and Jia Chen saw Li Jingxiao wearing the Qilin costume, they were so excited.
