Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Xuan naturally didn't care about whether the matter was settled or not. He just wanted to find a few people and get a good martial art. He wished such a good thing could happen more often.

After rolling up the rice paper containing the secret book of the Nine Yin Divine Claws, Song Xuan handed it to Song Qian very naturally.

"This claw technique is pretty good. If you're interested, you can try it. It never hurts to have more life-saving skills."

Song Qian took it with a smile and looked at Huang Rong provocatively: See, I have a brother, do you have one?

Huang Rong's face was filled with disbelief, and then a look of envy appeared on her face.

During her time wandering the martial arts world, she had become accustomed to the fickleness of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world. Not to mention advanced martial arts like the Nine Yin Divine Claws, even for an ordinary technique that could cultivate internal strength, it was not uncommon to see brothers killing each other and fathers and sons fighting each other.

Even though her father had many martial arts skills, he was still very wary of his disciples except for her daughter.

There was no intention at all to pass on the martial arts in the Nine Yin Scriptures to other disciples.

"You two siblings have such a great relationship!"

Huang Rong was really envious. She had few brothers and sisters since she was a child. Since her mother passed away, her relationship with her father had been bumpy. They always quarreled at the slightest provocation.

If she had a brother who protected her like this at home, she wouldn't have to run away from home in anger because of a quarrel with her father!

Song Qian smiled complacently, and then tactfully held the portraits drawn by Huang Rong in her arms. "I'll arrange for my subordinates to start the operation. If we're lucky, maybe we can find the person you're looking for in the next two days!"

Taking money to help others eliminate disasters, although this martial art was given to her by her brother, Song Qian has a good impression of Huang Rong and doesn't mind finding a few people for her.

After watching Song Qian leave, only Song Xuan and Huang Rong were left in the room.

Seeing Song Xuan's tall and handsome figure, Ms. Huang's heartbeat suddenly quickened for no reason.

"If Miss Huang is tired, you can stay in the west wing for one night."

Song Xuan sat at the desk, picked up the brush and continued to write his work log. Cases like rebellion had to be reported to the imperial capital.

"Ah... Oh, that, I'm not sleepy. I've already been lying in your bed for half the night..."

As she spoke, her face turned slightly red and she put her hands behind her back to make herself look as natural as possible.

"Well, I don't have anything to do. How about I help you grind the ink?"

Song Xuan casually replied, "Okay!"

......

Chapter 99 Song Xuan must be nailed to death in Yangzhou City!

That night, at the Xiao family in Yangzhou City.

Xiao An, the head of the Xiao family, looked exhausted.

Yangzhou City is the capital of Jiangzhe Prefecture. There are eight aristocratic families in the city, and the Xiao family is one of them.

These eight families had existed long before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At that time, they were not considered wealthy families. However, when Emperor Taizu of Zhou led his army to conquer Mingzhou, these eight families stood on the right side and gradually developed into the subsequent eight great families.

They originally thought that as long as the Great Zhou did not perish, the eight great families of Yangzhou would exist forever. This idea was not only held by the children of their families, but even the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang prefectures recognized their superior status.

Until today, the Xuanyiwei Qianhu Zhenpacification Envoy, who had been silent all this time, suddenly launched an attack, and everyone was awakened.

The reason why these major families have been able to survive until now is not because they are so strong, but because the higher-ups have never intended to touch them.

But now, the Xuanyiwei Pacification Envoy, who they had not taken seriously before, has become a knife on their necks!

"Everyone, tell me, what should we do next?"

Rubbing his forehead, Xiao An's face was very gloomy. He looked at the other family patriarchs in the hall and many officials in Yangzhou City, and asked.

To put it bluntly, except for the prefect, most of the garrison commanders and officials of the major government offices in the city are from the eight major families.

This was also the reason why they dared to treat Fang Tong, a captain of the Xuanyi Guard, like a dog. But now, Song Xuan, who suddenly landed from the imperial capital, completely disrupted the situation in Yangzhou City.

"What else can we do? Hundreds of people from the Jiang family have been imprisoned, reportedly on charges of treason. Song Xuan has already drawn his sword. If we don't resist, he'll kill us sooner or later!"

The head of the Sun family had a ferocious look on his face, with veins showing on his forehead. Among the scholars beaten to death by Song Qian during the day, there was his son.

He wanted to unite with several other major families to take action against Song Xuan, but some of the other clan leaders were still hesitant.

"Brother Sun, isn't it too early to draw conclusions about this matter? I heard that the Jiang family was wiped out because he sent assassins to assassinate Song Xuan, which caused the disaster?"

"Yes, this may be a personal grudge between Song Xuan and the Jiang family. Why don't we wait and see what happens?"

The head of the Sun family snorted coldly, "You are really naive. You have lived in wealth and luxury for so long that you have lost your courage.

Do you think that the Jiang family alone can satisfy Song Xuan?"

A clan leader frowned and asked, "Brother Sun, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?"

The head of the Sun family laughed and said, "I have been very busy these days. I have sent people to collect all the information about Song Xuan.

Do you know how a young man of just 20 years old could rise from a newly promoted second-rank Xuanyiwei to a captain of Xuanyiwei, and even to the position of Zhenfushishi? "

The head of the Sun family raised his hand and made a beheading motion on his neck, saying in a deep voice, "He made his way by killing people!"

"The first time this man left the imperial capital, he annihilated the Tian family, a powerful clan in the northern part of Mingzhou. He slaughtered thousands of people from the three clans of the Ming family before he caught the emperor's eye and achieved his current position as the Pacification Envoy."

The head of the Sun family had a gloomy expression and stared at everyone coldly, "A large family with a history of hundreds of years has only just allowed him to be promoted from the chief flag of the Xuanyi Guard to a centurion.

What do you think, if Song Xuan wants to be promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households, how many big families does he need?

Do you think one Jiang family is enough?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the clan leaders who were originally hesitant fell one by one.

They are not afraid of the old-timers in officialdom, nor are they afraid of those who are greedy and lustful. What they are afraid of is this kind of young and ambitious person who is just starting out.

Seeing that everyone began to look pensive, the head of the Sun family continued, "For someone like Song Xuan, if you have the resources and connections to help him climb the ladder, he will naturally be friendly with you.

But unfortunately, although we have great power in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture, we cannot make any move in the entire Xuanyiwei system.

Our only use to him is to contribute our lives and become a stepping stone for his advancement!

The Jiang family has been destroyed. I want to ask, who among you wants to become the next Jiang family and follow in his footsteps? "

Chen Yan, the head of the Chen family, had a gloomy expression on his face. The Chen family and the Jiang family had the closest relationship, and they had many intermarriages.

If the Jiang family is really convicted of treason, then all nine generations of the family will be executed. The Jiang family is finished, and the next to be unlucky will be their Chen family.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and immediately stood up with a look of indignation on his face.

"Everyone, Song Xuan has already become powerful. I'm afraid that we, the great families of Yangzhou, have already been targeted by him!"

"So what does Brother Chen mean?"

Chen Yan said in a serious tone, "That man is from the imperial capital. I guess his family is not short of money. Giving money is useless. As for women, with his current status, what kind of women can he want?

The tactic of using money and sex to win him over is useless to him."

The head of the Sun family frowned and said, "If winning them over doesn't work, then we should all pool our money and pay a large sum of money to hire the innate killer from Qingyi Tower to take action!"

Chen Yan praised: "This is a method, but we can't rely entirely on the killer. We must keep a backup plan."

"What do you mean, Brother Chen?"

Chen Yan said with a sinister look in his eyes, "Officials are forcing the people to rebel. The Black Guards are slaughtering civilians in Yangzhou City. The people can no longer bear this and are rising up to attack the government. This kind of thing should be familiar to you, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Brother Chen, do we have to take this step?"

Even the head of the Xiao family showed hesitation. "This move would kill one thousand enemies but injure eight hundred of our own. Even if we can use the riot to get rid of Song Xuan, the subsequent wrath of the imperial court will greatly implicate the entire Yangzhou city's officialdom.

I'm afraid all the connections we've accumulated in Yangzhou over the years will be burned to ashes!"

Chen Yan sneered, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child! We spent so much money in Yangzhou and raised so many people, isn't it just for this day?

As long as our major families don't fall, there will be plenty of opportunities to reintroduce people into the government. But if we fall... you all understand the principle that if the skin is gone, the hair will fall off, right?"

As he spoke, he looked around at the officials in the hall. Most of these people came from major families. At this moment, they all stood up.

"The interests of the family are above everything else. We will naturally follow the decision of the clan leader!"

"So..." The head of the Xiao family stood up and said in a cold voice: "The Yangzhou City garrison commander is a member of my Xiao family. If you want to do it, then do it thoroughly.

At that time, I will order the Yangzhou garrison commander to send troops into the city at the same time, under the pretext of suppressing the people's riot. Once they enter the city, the army will charge directly at the Xuanyi Guard's Thousand Households Station. Even if Song Xuan is a skilled martial artist, he will have no chance of survival under the army's crossbows!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the clan leaders nodded.

"So good!"

"Since we've done it, let's get rid of Lin Ruhai as well!"

"A riot to resolve all the troubles in Yangzhou is not a bad idea."

"Well, then it's settled!"

The head of the Xiao family made the final decision, "Brother Chen, go contact the assassins from Qingyi Tower. Don't worry about the money, it's just a number to us!

As for the other clan leaders, they should make preparations in advance. It would be best if Song Xuan died at the hands of the assassin. If the assassination failed, they should immediately start a riot!

This time, Song Xuan must be completely nailed to death in Yangzhou City!"

Chapter 100 What does this little girl surnamed Huang mean?

Early in the morning, Song Xuan was training someone.

The two Xuanyiwei generals who had kidnapped Huang Rong yesterday without authorization were scolded by Song Xuan in front of Huang Rong.

After cold sweat broke out on the two men's faces, Song Xuan finally waved his hand and said, "This won't happen again. If you dare to act on your own again, watch out for your heads!

Also, pay attention to the people Miss Huang is looking for!"

"As ordered!"

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stood up and apologized to Huang Rong, and then carefully left the yamen hall.

After the two walked away, one of them said with a look of fear on his face: "The flattery hit the horse's leg. It was a close call. I almost died!"

But another person didn't care, "Who said you took a picture of the horse's legs?"

He smiled somewhat complacently and said, "Given your temper, if we really did something wrong, would you just give us a few mild reprimands?"

"what do you mean?"

"Hey, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady. At your age, you are full of vigor and need a woman the most. How can anyone not be moved by such a beautiful girl?

Otherwise, why would the Lord send someone to look for that girl?"

"I understand!" Another general clapped his hands and said, "My lord, you must be dissatisfied with our direct kidnapping method. It's too low-level.

I will try to understand your thoughts more in the future. Next time I encounter this kind of situation, I will try my best to create opportunities for you to be a hero and save the damsel in distress!"

"Haha, I think so too. Brother Qian has such awareness. He has a bright future ahead of him!"

"It's the same here. Brother Zhao is also a brilliant man who can see things clearly!"

...

Although the two spoke quietly, with Song Xuan's current level of cultivation, he could still hear the conversation between these two smart people very clearly.

Even Huang Rong vaguely heard some of the content. At this moment, her face looked a little strange, and she subconsciously distanced herself from Song Xuan.

Song Xuan looked calm as he took a sip of tea. "People in the system are always like this. Once they think they've found a shortcut to please their superiors, they'll go for it wholeheartedly.

As long as there are people and power structures, this kind of thing will never be stopped."

Huang Rong smiled brightly, "Sir, there's no need to explain. I see this kind of thing all the time. Some things really can't be solved simply by killing people!"

Song Xuan smiled slightly, and when he heard hurried footsteps, he looked up and looked outside the door.

But Song Qian, wearing a light yellow long dress, was seen walking quickly towards them, holding a thin man in one hand.

After entering the hall, Victoria Song threw the man to the ground and said, "Brother, when I came back, I saw this man looking around outside the government office. I didn't think he was a good person, so I arrested him."

The man was not tall and was thin. He had a mustache and wore a conical hat on his head. He looked really shifty.

Hearing Song Qian say this, he quickly got up from the ground and knelt in front of Song Xuan, "Sir, I am not a bad person, but I am here on the orders of my master to deliver a letter to you."

Song Xuan looked at him scrutinizingly, "Who is the master you are talking about?"

The thin man hurriedly said, "My master is the head of the Hu family in Yangzhou City!"

As he spoke, he carefully pulled out a piece of letter from his sleeve and raised it with both hands respectfully. "The master said that if you have any questions, you will understand after reading this letter!"

Song Xuan took the letter, stroked it through the envelope, and only took out the letter after he felt there was nothing wrong with it.
