Chapter 18 Leaving the capital
Quiet room.
Zhao Mu closed his eyes and practiced, and the true energy flowed in his body like a river.
The power of the Great Vajra Pill absorbed over the past three years has been continuously stimulated by the circulating Qi, making the Qi in the body more and more powerful.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A roar suddenly came from within his body, and Zhao Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
In an instant, the dark room glowed with light.
His eyes seemed to have turned into two lanterns, lighting up the dark room.
And his cultivation has finally firmly entered the acquired realm.
In today's Great Jin Dynasty, except for a few innate masters, he is no longer afraid of anyone in terms of martial arts.
At the same time, "Tianmen Six Paths" also broke through again and opened its second door.
He could clearly feel the improvement of his physical qualifications. It was a feeling that was close to cleansing the muscles and marrow. It was very mysterious.
"Now my training qualifications should be comparable to those of ordinary martial arts geniuses, right?"
All these years of hard work have finally paid off.
Zhao Mu smiled, closed his eyes and continued practicing.
Eight days passed in a flash.
In the evening, Zhao Mu went out to have a meal when he suddenly heard the conversation of people passing by him.
"Do you still remember Mrs. Zhang and Liang Min?"
"Who is it? Is he famous?"
"They are the family members of Liang Xiaozhong, the junior high school secretary."
"It's them, what's wrong?"
"I received a guest just now, and I asked Zhang and Liang Min to accompany him for the drink."
"Tsk, tsk, mother and daughter are serving together. Which disciple of Liang Xiaozhong is this?"
"It's not a disciple, it's an enemy. I just saw that the guest deliberately tripped Mrs. Zhang when she was serving tea and spilled the tea on herself. Now Mrs. Zhang is being whipped."
Enemy?
Zhao Mu was a little curious.
Regarding Zhang and Liang Min, he had met them once when they entered the Jiaofang Division, but never paid attention to them again.
I heard that over the years, many of Liang Xiaozhong's old friends have come to take care of the business of the two mothers and daughters. The mother and daughter seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life.
Unexpectedly, another enemy came to visit today.
I just don’t know what kind of enemy it is that it took so many years to seek revenge?
Zhao Mu thought for a while, then turned around to see the excitement.
A luxurious guest room with many good people gathered around the door.
room.
A young man, probably in his twenties, was sitting at the table drinking tea. There was also a blood-stained whip on the table.
A mutilated female corpse lay on the ground, and it turned out to be Liang Xiaozhong's wife, Mrs. Zhang.
Next to Mr. Zhang, Liang Min was sitting there blankly, as if he was stupid, saying something vaguely.
"Old Shen, who is this person?"
Zhao Mu touched it, and a colleague watching the excitement asked.
Old Shen lowered his voice and replied: "I heard that this person's name is Qiao Yan, and he is a relative of the family that Zhang and Liang Min killed at the Great Buddha Temple."
"This Qiao Yan has been living in Yongzhou. I heard that he has made a lot of money over the years, and even spent half of his wealth to donate a sixth-grade official."
"This time Qiao Yan came to Beijing to report on his work, and he deliberately appointed Zhang's mother and daughter to serve him. It was obvious that he came to avenge his relatives."
Suddenly the crowd was separated, and District Judge Liang Xingnan walked into the room with a young man.
He looked at the body on the ground.
Liang Xingnan frowned slightly: "Mr. Qiao, after all, Mrs. Zhang is a member of our Jiaofang Division. If you beat her to death as soon as you come here, don't you think so little of our Jiaofang Division?"
"Master Liang, please don't talk nonsense. Mrs. Zhang deliberately poured boiling water on me. She was the one who committed the murder. Can't I fight back?"
Qiao Yan looked indifferent: "By the way, I want to redeem Liang Min's body. Master Liang, please give me a price, and she will return to me from now on."
"You want to take Liang Min away?"
Liang Xingnan looked unhappy.
It was not that he wanted to protect Liang Min, but Qiao Yan had not yet explained the matter of beating Zhang to death, so he turned around and took Liang Min away.
Such domineering behavior made him very unhappy.
Liang Xingnan hummed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I'm afraid you can't take Liang Min with you today."
"Who said we can't take it with us?"
Suddenly a voice came, and the crowd parted, and Zheng Jingren, dressed in the uniform of a hanging mirror officer, walked in slowly.
"Master Zheng?"
Liang Xingnan's expression changed, and he quickly saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Mr. Zheng. I didn't know that you were coming, and I was unable to greet you from a distance. Please forgive me."
"Haha, what is Master Liang guilty of?"
Zheng Jingren smiled and walked to Qiao Yan: "But this subordinate of mine just wants to redeem himself for a woman from the Jiaofang Division. Is Master Liang going to be in trouble?"
"No, no, no, my lord has misunderstood. How dare you embarrass your subordinates? I will ask someone to bring Liang Min's body deed. Please wait a moment."
Liang Xingnan was sweating profusely.
Today's Zheng Jingren is not someone he dares to offend.
Soon, Liang Min's body deed was brought.
Qiao Yan waved his hand, and his men immediately came in and carried away the bodies of Liang Min and Zhang.
He looked at Zheng Jingren: "Sir, my subordinates will take them to pay homage to my nephew who died tragically at the age of five. We will catch up with you later."
"Well, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you at the post station outside the city."
Zheng Jingren nodded, and the two left together.
Before leaving, Zheng Jingren pretended to be unintentional and glanced at Zhao Mu in the crowd, as if to remind him of something.
Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and found Liang Xingnan while everyone dispersed.
"Brother Zhao, are you here?"
"Well, after all, it concerns Zhang and Liang Min. I have to come and take a look."
"Hey, you have done something wrong to yourself. Back then, the mother and daughter beat the scholar's family to death, even the five-year-old child was not spared. Today is their retribution."
Liang Xingnan shook his head and sighed, and pulled the young man next to him: "Here, let me introduce you. This is my son Liang Jian. I recommended him to join the Jiaofang Department two days ago."
According to the rules of the Jiaofang Division, every registered official has the right to recommend juniors to join the Jiaofang Division as officials.
Liang Jian bowed his hands and saluted: "Greetings to Zhao Duzhi. My father told his nephew at home that you are a noble and elegant person. Now that I see you, you are really impressed."
"The good nephew is joking, I am just a lazy cloud and wild crane, but the good nephew is handsome and has the air of a father."
Zhao Mu said with a smile.
"Okay, brother Zhao, please stop praising me. Young people are arrogant and arrogant. If you continue to praise them, they won't know who they are."
Liang Xingnan patted Liang Jian and motioned him to do something: "Brother Zhao, are you busy today? How about we go have a drink?"
"Okay, by the way, Brother Liang, I'm going back to my hometown to visit my parents' graves in the next two days, so I want to take a leave of absence and leave the capital for a while."
"Brother Zhao is really filial. When are you going to leave?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"So fast?"
"Well, go early and come back early."
"Then we won't get home until we get drunk today."
"nature!"
"Hahaha, let's go."
…
Although I don’t know, what is the big event that Zheng Jingren is talking about?
But the two have known each other for many years, and Zhao Mu knows very well that Zheng Jingren will not make mistakes without aim.
So two days later, he took Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun and left the capital.
The three of them did not go to other cities, but found a secluded mountain village and rented a small courtyard to live temporarily.
Half a month passed in such a hurry.
On this day, Zhao Mu was sitting in the yard, while Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun were busy cooking in front of the stove.
Although the two women are dressed like village women, the charm between their eyebrows is still touching.
"Brother Mu, come over and eat quickly."
"okay!"
When the food was served, Zhao Mu just picked up his chopsticks when he suddenly frowned and looked coldly outside the village.
"What's wrong, Brother Mu?"
Hua Xinzi asked.
"There are a lot of people. You two stay in the yard while I go out and take a look."
Zhao Mu put down his chopsticks, jumped out of the yard, and rushed out of the village.
