Chapter 292 Going to Qingzhou
Capital city!
A courtyard house.
A middle-aged man in Confucian clothes hung up the phone on the table.
"Aren't you afraid that the gods from beyond the sky will come out?" asked a white-haired old man sitting on a rattan chair not far from the table.
"What's there to be afraid of? If anyone dares to come out, I'll kill them all. It's not like I haven't killed anyone before."
"You don't really look like a scholar. The nickname 'Crazy Scholar' given to you by Tianwaitian is not wrong. It suits you very well." The old man showed interest on his face: "I am a little curious about what you did after entering Tianwaitian."
This nickname "Crazy Scholar" was the first time the old man heard it.
"Do you know why I let you enter Tianwai Tian in the first place?"
"Because I'm tough."
"This is just one reason. The most important thing is that only the Heaven Beyond Heaven can allow you to break through to the Yuan Shen realm. I just didn't expect that the final outcome would be like this."
There was guilt on the old man's face. Lu Songling was the most talented person trained in the appraisal institute. At the age of forty, he had cultivated to the great perfection of the Hidden God Realm.
It is only one step away from the Yuanshen realm.
But in the current world, no matter how talented Lu Songling is, it is impossible for him to take this step.
This is the shackles of this world and cannot be changed by human power.
If you want to break through the Yuanshen realm, you have to enter the Tianwai Tian.
The people in Tianwaitian think that no one knows where they are, but as long as they appear in reality, how could they not leave traces?
Behind the appraisal institute is the state apparatus, which had long been aware of the existence of Tianwaitian and even found the entrance to Tianwaitian.
However, there is a large formation in Tianwai Tian. At that time, there were only three people in the entire appraisal institute who could break through the formation. The other two were already old, and even if they entered Tianwai Tian, they would probably not benefit much.
Based on these considerations, they finally decided to let Lu Songling enter Tianwai Tian.
This time it lasted eight years.
Eight years later, Lu Songling walked out of Tianwai Tian, but all his cultivation was wasted.
For the old man, this is the thing he feels most guilty about.
Lu Songling did not say what he experienced in Tianwaitian, and he also suppressed others, not allowing them to ask Lu Songling about the news of Tianwaitian. As long as Lu Songling himself did not say it, no one would force him.
"Old man, what do you think of Lin Ye?"
Lu Songling looked at the old man's eyes and knew that the old man was recalling what happened in the past. He smiled and started to bring the old man back to his senses.
The old man didn't owe him anything, and he didn't need to feel guilty. It was his own decision to enter Tianwai Tian.
"He's a very amazing young man. He must have some secrets."
"Everyone has secrets, old man. Your idea is dangerous. When we first established our appraisal institute, we set a rule: no matter where someone comes from, we won't ask about their origins." Lu Songling joked, "When I cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Hidden God Realm, didn't you also think I had a big secret?"
"You...are you so optimistic about Lin Ye?"
The old man knew what Lu Songling meant by asking this question. He wanted the institute to fully focus on training Lin Ye, but if the institute wanted to fully focus on training a person, it must know the person inside out.
Lu Songling grew up in the appraisal institute. Even if he had some opportunities outside later, the institute was very confident in him.
Lin Ye is different. He is a strange man who suddenly appeared and his strength improved so quickly. It is impossible for the institute to be 100% confident in him.
"Well, I'm very optimistic about him. Maybe he can do what I couldn't do at the beginning."
Lu Songling's expression was very serious. The old man stared at Lu Songling's expression and asked seriously, "Are you going to take the responsibility for him in Tianwaitian?"
“There are indeed Yuanshen Realm experts in Tianwai Tian, but these Yuanshen Realm experts will not leave Tianwai Tian. The most that can leave are those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Hidden God Realm. I plan to have No. 2 and No. 3 stationed at the exit of Tianwai Tian.”
"You want to give him room to grow? What if he fails to break through to the Yuan Shen realm?"
"There is no such thing as a contingency. Don't forget, old man. Time waits for no one!"
The old man narrowed his eyes, obviously touched by Lu Songling's word "time".
"Just do as you say. If other people in the institute have different opinions, I will go and convince them. As for No. 2 and No. 3, they were trained by you. So, shouldn't you accept a few more disciples in your library?"
"The number of disciples in the library is not important, but their quality is."
Lu Songling shook his head, with a look of regret on the old man's face.
Before entering Tianwai Tian, Lu Songling was Sequence One in the Appraisal Institute. After coming out of Tianwai Tian and losing his cultivation, Lu Songling was still Sequence One.
The reason is that Lu Songling has trained two disciples. In just twenty years, he has trained two disciples who have reached the great perfection of the Hidden God Realm, and they are now the second and third sequence extraordinary people in the institute.
The old man did not stay in the courtyard for too long. After learning about Lu Songling's attitude, he left.
In the study, Lu Songling looked towards the south and muttered to himself, "If I can make the stone from Helan Mountain follow you, then why not take a gamble?"
…
…
After staying in Rao City for three days, there was no movement from Tianwaitian. Lin Ye ignored Lao Shi's constant muttering about wanting to kill people from Tianwaitian, put a soul-sealing talisman on himself, and entered the other world.
Another world.
The first thing Lin Ye did when he came back was to walk towards the rockery in the backyard to check on Xiaobai.
There were six balls of Tai Sui, one of which wrapped Xiao Bai, and the other five balls of Tai Sui were still lying quietly on the ground.
After making sure that Xiaobai was fine, Lin Ye returned to the main hall, where he learned some bad news from Xu Bo.
Thirteen shop owners were killed.
One shopkeeper was hacked to death on the street, and another was hanged at home with his entire skin peeled off. The case was reported to the police after being discovered by the deceased's family.
The deaths of these thirteen shopkeepers were extremely tragic, and judging from the killing methods, they were obviously from the same force. The other party did not hide anything and was declaring: they were coming for the Dahan Trading Company.
The company has nearly a hundred shopkeepers so far, covering all industries, and the death of these thirteen shopkeepers has made the other shopkeepers panic. Although no shopkeeper has resigned yet, Lin Ye believes that if more shopkeepers die in the future, the other shopkeepers will have to resign in order to save their lives.
Once these shopkeepers leave, it will be difficult for the business to continue operating.
It is not easy for a company to find a suitable shopkeeper. A shopkeeper needs to have the ability to deal with people, have vision, and understand arithmetic.
Even though Lin Ye had asked Xu Bo to select some potential people for training early on, just like the reserve talents in modern companies, after all these years, only about a hundred people have been trained, and most of them have become shopkeepers in various industries in the business.
Zhenwu Palace, Marquis Zhenwei?
Lin Ye rubbed his fingers on the teacup. He didn't have many enemies in the other world, and the most likely ones were these two.
Zhenwu Temple is a martial arts sect and generally does not rob businesses.
Marquis Zhenwei?
The current emperor's consort.
Lin Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the desk. The content written on the rice paper on the desk was the information about Marquis Zhenwei that Xu Bo had asked someone to investigate.
Marquis Zhenwei, Jiang Beiyu.
Thirty-four years old.
A true disciple of Zhenwu Temple. It is said that six years ago, the third daughter of the current emperor sneaked out of the palace to play, and ended up encountering robbers. Jiang Beiyu happened to be traveling here and rescued the princess.
What follows is the old routine of the hero saving the beauty.
The princess secretly fell in love with him, and the current emperor loved his daughter very much. Although Jiang Beiyu was a disciple of Zhenwu Palace, the emperor still made an exception and recruited Jiang Beiyu as a son-in-law, and also named him Marquis Zhenwei, in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The Marquis Zhenwei’s Mansion is located in Qingzhou.
The headquarters of Zhenwu Temple.
This is the information about the Marquis Zhenwei, and there are also many gossips on the paper.
Jiang Beiyu, the Marquis of Zhenwei, was ruthless and had seized other people's property many times. Some victims complained to the government, which finally alarmed the court, which sent officials to investigate the case. However, the first group of officials were killed by thieves after entering Qingzhou. The second group of officials came to Qingzhou to investigate and reported back to the court, saying that this was a false accusation by the people.
"The one who killed the court officials was a disciple of Zhenwu Temple. Later, the officials were afraid of being killed and did not dare to expose the truth that Zhenwei Hou had occupied other people's land and property!"
There are many such rumors, which are enough to show how unscrupulous this Marquis Zhenwei is.
"Uncle Xu, appease the shop owners. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, go to Mr. Jing."
"Sir, are you going on a long journey?"
The master and servant have been together for more than ten years. After Lin Ye finished his instructions, Xu Bo guessed what Lin Ye was going to do.
"Yes, let's go out for a walk. I have been staying in Nanjiang Province for many years. It's time to go out and see the scenery of other provinces."
"Sir, please take me with you."
"Uncle Xu, you are already so old. If I bring you along, Xu Rui will definitely call me a Zhou Ba Pi."
"He dares!"
Xu Bo glared angrily. Having followed the young master for more than ten years, he had become accustomed to the young master often saying words he had never heard of, and he could guess what these words meant.
"It's okay if you don't want me to go, then take Xiao He with you. Xiao He is very clever, and with him by your side, he can serve you well. This way, I can rest assured."
"Okay, take Xiao He with you."
Lin Ye smiled casually. Over the years in the other world, many of his trivial matters were taken care of by Xu Bo, and it was indeed much more convenient to have Xiao He around.
the next day!
A carriage drove out of the Lin Mansion. In addition to the carriage, there were more than a dozen guards on horseback accompanying it. Flying the flag of the Dahan Trading Company, they set out from the gate of Canglan County and headed towards Qingzhou, west of Nanjiangzhou.
It was also on this day that many dignitaries in Canglan County learned that Dahan Trading Company was actually owned by Master Lin of the Lin Mansion.
These people suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were rumors that the Lin family was extravagant and even the toilet was made of gold. It turned out that they were the owners of the Dahan Trading Company and did have the financial resources.
And just the next moment after the carriage drove out of the Lin Mansion, a carrier pigeon flew out of the Lin Mansion and headed north, flying towards the capital, flying towards the most powerful mansion in the capital.
