The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day after the Little New Year.
A flying boat took off from Zhaori Peak and drove rapidly in the direction of the rising sun.
This is a spaceship that is twice as big as the county passenger spacecraft. It is also three stories high. The difference is that its design is more comfortable and luxurious. There is only one suite on the top floor. On the balcony outside, there are round tables and chairs and even swaying bamboos, like a moving courtyard.
There are about a dozen rooms on the middle floor, some large and some small. The large one is equipped with a study room and tea room; the small one is just a single room for rest and meditation.
The deck is decorated in the style of a living room, with a wing room and an aft hall, which can be used for discussions and rest.
This is Master Zhexi's private flying boat. It is a third-level mid-level boat with strong defensive capabilities. Its speed reaches two thousand miles per hour, which is comparable to the late-stage monks of the Zi Mansion.
Their destination this time was Qingzhou, which was more than 20,000 miles away. With the speed of this airship, it would take a day and a night.
Master Zhexi's only son, Zhao Xi and Zhao Mosheng, was currently serving as Siyun of the Fourth Grade Salt and Grain Transport Department in Qingzhou. According to the regulations of Xu State, officials from other places can visit relatives once every three years. Zhao Xi returned to his hometown two years ago, so he naturally needs to stay there this year.
So Zhao Beiqing simply took his whole family and went to Qingzhou to visit his son.
In addition to Qin, Zhao Yue'er, Mammy, and Caiyan Caiyun, the people on the flying boat also included Yang Zhen, Zhao Gui, several guards, and a foundation-building elder in charge of the family's business. In addition to using storage bags, the cabin of the flying boat is also filled with various local specialties of Shuyang County. Since you are traveling far away, it is also a good idea to do some business on the way.
In addition, there is the newly appointed deputy general manager of the Zhao family in the county, Zhao Jiuyi, a monk in his fifties who has perfected his Qi training.
As for the original deputy general manager Zhao Zhe, he has been taken down.
The case of damage to Yaoyuan Lingzhi at the end of last year has come to light.
This case was exactly what he secretly ordered Zhao Qianan to do. This sounds incredible, but it is true. With Zhao Zhe's cultivation strength, he was completely unable to compete with Qin Wan who had the support of the great elder. He was increasingly marginalized in the county, so at the suggestion of the fourth elder at the time, he planned this trick, trying to get the family to send another deputy general manager of the foundation-building period to replace him, while he returned to the family to send another good job.
The same is true for Zhao Qian'an. In the past, he could reimburse a lot of spiritual stones every year by relying on the medicine garden. Later, Qin Wan strengthened the management, and his medicine garden suddenly lost its oil and water, and became increasingly difficult. He had long made plans to find another way out.
The two hit it off immediately and secretly captured Zhao Gui's mountain rat and raised it into a monster in an attempt to frame the crime. As a result, the plan was disrupted by a few words from Patriarch Yunjun, and the matter did not cause any trouble at all.
In addition, the criminals who planned to poison Yang Zhen were also found, including Zhao Li. He is the executor, and he is the one who contacted the killer organization. As for the subsequent instructions, it was the fifth elder who was in charge of the family's various properties at that time. During the harvest day inspection, many of his cronies were arrested, he was reprimanded by his family, and his financial path was cut off, so he developed a desire for revenge.
Due to Zhao Li's involvement, the position of the main accountant in Jia Sheng County was also lost, and Yang Zhen's behavior and habits were leaked by him. He was ordered to pay compensation for the corruption committed over the years. He had to pay compensation even if he could not afford it.
These people were all punished to mine the Zhao family's spirit stone mine. The family's spirit stone mine was auctioned by the sect, and the annual output and turn-in were fixed. Going there was just hard work and delayed cultivation, which was considered a serious punishment.
This is a completely acceptable result for Yang Zhen. As for asking Zhao Li and others to pay with their lives, that is unrealistic.
…
From Shuyang to Qingzhou City, we go all the way southeast. In the afternoon, they came to a large lake with no end in sight.
Although it is cold winter, the lake surface is not frozen. Under the sunlight, the water surface is like a layer of sparkling broken silver, crystal clear and beautiful.
Zhao Beiqing held his granddaughter in his arms, pointed downwards, and explained to her:
"This is Yun Lake. Our Yunzhou is named after this lake. The radius of this lake is nearly five thousand miles, and even our flying boat would have to fly for two hours to get out of this lake..."
"There is a golden elixir ancestor in the lake who was transformed by a snake demon. The story of "The Legend of White Snake" that Yue'er told her grandfather two days ago is quite similar to this ancestor..."
"Who is so bold and dares to amuse me behind my back!" A shout came from below.
I saw a shocking wave of water suddenly erupting on the calm lake!
The water waves were like pillars, extending all the way to the spacecraft, as if they were going to knock the spacecraft down directly, and a huge water column coiled in the air.
Then I saw a long white figure rushing out of the water column, its body was actually a hundred feet long!
The white figure came to Feizhou in an instant, and everyone's eyes were dazzled. This figure had turned into a young woman wearing white silk and satin, with a gorgeous face.
This woman's eyebrows were full of beauty, her eyes were moving, and her voice was charming but also cold and majestic:
"Who are you and why did you arrange this seat?"
Zhao Beiqing put his granddaughter down, stood up, and said with cupped hands: "Zhao Beiqing, the junior Yunxiao Sect's Demon Control Palace Selection Hall, has met Master Yun Su."
"Oh, it turns out to be Hall Master Zhao of the Demon Control Palace," the woman said with a sweet smile, "I wonder how Master Kuang is doing?"
"Master Kuang is in charge of Hanzhou, and the demons are all well-behaved." Zhao Beiqing replied in a deep voice.
"Haha," the woman covered her mouth and said with a smile, "No one in the world knows Master Kuang's reputation. The slave family has always admired him very much..."
"But..." She changed the subject and spoke in a stern tone: "Master Kuang didn't ask you to arrange this seat, did he? There was a recent "Legend of White Snake". I heard it came from your Zhao family. Could it be..."
She suddenly smiled, like a flower blooming for the moment, infinitely beautiful: "Brother Zhexi is interested in me, and you made up such a story to coax me?"
This woman was majestic at one moment, and charming at the other. At this time, her face was flushed, like a girl who had fallen in love for the first time, and everyone was stunned.
"How dare you," Zhao Beiqing said with a calm expression: "This story is spread from Shuoyang. It is a local folk legend in the Daming Lake area. Real people should never mind it."
"How can I not mind?" The woman's eyebrows stood up, and she was furious: "The Legend of the White Snake! White Snake, doesn't it mean that I am a snake demon? Listen to that name again, Bai Suzhen. The white one is Yunhu. Su. , my Taoist name is Yunsu. Zhenzhe, the real person! Aren’t they the real person Yunsu of Yunhu? Isn’t that—this person?”
"You actually still want to quibble!"
"I just heard you say it was your granddaughter who told it? Is it the person in front of you? Come on, tell me sister, where did you hear this story?"
She stretched out her hand, and Zhao Yue'er was grabbed by her.
Zhao Beiqing, who was in the later years of the Tang Dynasty Purple Mansion, couldn't even resist, so he watched his granddaughter being kidnapped!
