Even though Xie Yu was fully prepared, and with his "Hercules"-like manual crane, the master still didn't approve of it, and it took him a month.
Because Xie Yu cut stone pillars into water pipes, used cowhide wood glue to make a semi-water pumping device, and built many water-dividing tanks that can hold water, so he reported to Kaifeng Prefecture Cao and temporarily took a "horizontal" "Qu Biyuan".
In fact, it is a three-story mixed courtyard that can accommodate many households.
Just as they entered the renovation stage, Jiang Siyeping and the others finally came back.
"What?"
Zhang Bao, a brave man who was good at wielding a pair of willow-leaf swords and a pair of willow-leaf swords, and a three-pronged ghost-headed sword, died unexpectedly. He was said to be an evil dragon, but in fact he was killed by a big crocodile.
That’s it….
It is true that a "nine-seed lotus" has been found that can cure Ouyang Puzhong's eye disease, but at this price...
On the other hand, "Feiyun Little Bodhidharma" Bai Yunrui was engaged to "Little Dragon Girl" Gai Feixia, and with her help, he killed the evil dragon and harvested the "Nine-seed Lotus".
It made it even more obvious that the sacrifices of Ma Long and Zhang Bao were not worth it. Xie Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xie Yu was not happy about the sacrifices of Ma Long and Zhang Bao, and even less happy about the sacrifice of Ma Long and Zhang Bao. What was even more unhappy was that the master of martial arts was Feng Yuan.
In this way, Feng Yuan finally revealed to Xie Yu why he had to fight in the ring. It turned out that the Eighth Prince was secretly kidnapped by the people from Lotus Temple.
For the safety of the Eighth Prince, according to the rules of the world, the old and young heroes of Kaifeng Mansion will fight. If they can win, the people of Lotus Temple will hand over the Eighth Prince safely, if not...
In this way, Xie Yu also took it seriously and took the initiative to ask to compete.
Feng Yuan said nothing and expressed his gratitude.
The nine-seed lotus flower was indeed the right medicine and successfully cured Ouyang Puzhong's eyes.
After Ouyang Puzhong's eye disease was cured, the Eight Kings Arena started for the second time. In the arena, he succeeded in revenge and trampled to death the three-foot demon Lu Kun who had assassinated him. However, he was seriously injured by Guo Changda's teacher, the Kunlun Monk, the Reclining Buddha.
Everyone is holding their breath!
Xie Yu was also killed. White Lotus Yanfeng, Feng Kuizhang, the red-haired dragon god of Shaohua Mountain, and the four sons Feng Yunlong, Feng Yunhu, Feng Yunbiao, and Feng Yunhan also established their reputations among the younger generation.
The four elders of the Spring and Autumn Period died at the hands of the Golden-faced Tathagata Dharma Kong;
Overseas, the wild king ape defeated Ji Chengda, the nine-headed eagle;
The unparalleled swordsman Jiang Botao came on stage and used the toad suction stunt to gouge out the eyes of Five Thunder Vajra Dao and Gongsun Liang.
In the final battle of the arena, the white-browed hero Xu Liang faced off against Feiyun Taoist Guo Changda. Xu Liang failed to defeat Guo Changda using the eight-step cicada trick, but Guo Changda lifted his head above his head and smashed it against the pillar of the arena.
Just when everyone thought that Xu Liang was bound to die, Xu Liang used the immortal's unique skill of hanging paintings to stick his body to the pillar without any damage.
While Guo Da was stunned, Xu Liang used a hidden weapon to kill the bandit who was guarding the Eight Kings.
Xie Yu reacted very quickly, feeling that Xu Liang's skill was not that great. Under the scanning of the Vajra King Curse, he saw that Xu Liang was going to use a hidden weapon, and he immediately understood something.
The blessing of flying on the grass is not as good as the eight-step cicada-catching technique, but fortunately Xie Yu responded in advance and directly jumped into the ring to grab the eighth prince. With a simple protection, he immediately opened the half-sling of money and spread it out with the money dart technique.
Commonly known as throwing money, the method of throwing money can only be used for a few times to see if the other party is cruel. Fortunately, it is not the other party's turn to choose. Bai Yunrui, who came after him, finally came up. He did not take any credit and immediately blocked Xie Yu's pursuit. enemy.
Xie Yu circled the Eighth Prince and returned to his camp in time. The old and young men stood shoulder to shoulder and immediately took advantage of their numerical advantage and rushed straight to the Lotus Temple.
Xie Yu had already used a trick to save the Eighth Prince, so he no longer earned any other credit.
After the Lotus Temple was destroyed, many heroes, young and old, declined the rewards from the court and left Kaifeng Mansion.
Youdao is a first-class meritorious service, and "no fault can save you." Even though Xie Yu was from a low-level workman and servant, under Emperor Renzong's Aiwujiwu, Xie Yu still got the title of "eighth-grade captain with sword".
and some rewards.
Naturally, they cannot be compared with the white-browed hero Xu Liang, who was awarded the title of third-grade sword-wielding colonel, and Xiao Bodhidharma Baiyun, who was awarded the fourth-grade sword-wielding colonel.
With an eighth-grade official status, Xie Yu could get away from many things. He first wrote a letter to "announce the good news" to his family.
Taking advantage of this "collective" award, Hengqu Courtyard was also opened for business, targeting those who "entered Beijing" to prepare for the exam.
It’s still the same method, no rent will be charged for the first three months, and free basic meals will be provided.
Of course, there is no rent for three months. For lower-class single rooms, the free basic meal of rice, noodles and side dishes is also for one person. You can add an extra bowl of porridge, but there is no meat.
Xie Yu used the list shared from the Ministry of Rites to specifically look for "poor" students from other places.
In addition, the reputation of these eighth-grade sword-wielding captains and Kaifeng Prefecture officers is still untrustworthy.
Soon, almost half of the mixed-use courtyard that could accommodate more than 300 bachelors on the third floor was occupied, of course, most of them were free third-class single rooms.
The three-bedroom and one-living structure that Xie Yu lives in is considered first-class because it takes up a lot of space. After all, "every inch of land in Bianjing is precious"!
Xie Yu has not built a few, and most of them are mainly for self-occupation, or symbolically rented out as "first-class housing".
After that, it would be like not having roads in a new park, but waiting for traces of "shortcutting" by nearby residents to appear, and then building roads based on these traces.
As the students moved in, the bookstore, grocery store, and food shop in front of the building also opened.
Needless to say, grocery stores and Japanese food shops are open both internally and externally.
As for the bookstore, it is the focus of Xie Yu's business. Regardless of ancient or modern times, money for scholars and students is relatively "easy to make".
In addition to the same basic books as other bookstores, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, the work-study position of selling calligraphy and painting on behalf of others, and part-time copying of books, just hide Xie Yu's "copying of books" behavior.
Because of what books these students wanted to read, Xie Yu asked the new shopkeeper to write down that the Muchen Beads were collected, and immediately used the Vajra King Curse to add paper and ink to copy them. Anyway, Xie Yu prepared a large number of blank books for people to copy.
No, "share" from other bookstores. Anyway, there is no such thing as "intellectual property" these days. When new books come, what is popular depends on who can copy it quickly and copy it a lot.
With the Vajra King Mantra, Xie Yu can be compared to a personal copy machine, which students in the backyard can rent or buy.
If you have no money, you can copy books or sell "work-study programs" on your behalf.
You can go to the restaurant in front and get your meal with a ticket. You can bring your own food, or you can eat in the restaurant, and there will be someone dedicated to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
It seems that although accommodation and basic meals are free, as long as you come here, at least other living expenses must be covered!
If you come with a bag, bedding, copper basin, teacup, teapot, bucket, small stove, bowls and chopsticks, check with the grocery store.
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, want to eat better, have meat?
In particular, Xie Yu basically "caught" some fish every day when he passed by the Bianshui River entering Kaifeng City. In the past, these fish were used as extra food for the builders who built the house, otherwise the house would not have been built so quickly.
Now, these fish products are delivered to restaurants at a more favorable price, so you can make a small amount of money!
In fact, since the restaurant opened, not only these students, but also nearby neighbors have come to eat often in order to save fire, and they also serve iron pots. The fast food business is a great deal.
On this day, Xie Yu came again to persuade Zhang Ping to stay in his Hengqu Villa, but Zhang Ping once again refused.
He is currently staying in Beijing temporarily with his friend Chen Thou, who was also a scholar in the same year. They jointly sell noodles and split the account 40-60. Of course, he takes the less, which is his own request.
There are customers selling noodles, but there are no customers to read books. Of course, if someone asks him to help find cats and dogs, he will help.
I am a "detective" enthusiast.
He didn't want to move, but Xie Yu offered him takeout pasta service, and he didn't refuse.
Furthermore, if I ask for his help in any case in the future, he has no reason to refuse.
After getting to know each other for a while, Xie Yu knew that Zhang Ping's goal was to enter "Dali Temple"
After deciding the case, he also believed that it was wrong for the Kaifeng Mansion to concurrently handle the business of Dali Temple.
But Mr. Bao’s reputation is too big, and Dali Temple really doesn’t do much.
In fact, it's not just Dali Temple. Because Bao Zheng is so famous, the Ministry of Punishment has long been robbed of his errands.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It falls on Mr. Bao, right?
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many “Qingtian” model stories.
Xie Yu's "Hengqu Courtyard" was able to open smoothly without anyone asking for trouble. It must be said that the eighth-grade Kaifeng Prefecture's errand captain with a sword played a role.
Since Xie Yu allowed it, Zhang Ping and Chen Chou's noodle stalls went to Hengqu Courtyard to do takeout business, because the "affordable" business is naturally very good.
Earning more also gave Zhang Ping and Chen Chou more energy to study.
Of course, I also made some contributions to Xie Yu’s bookstore.
Some time later, Xie Yu received a letter from his hometown, naturally expressing happiness for Xie Yu's "future."
More importantly, Xie Yu saw the meaning of "urging marriage". This, this trick, seemed to be a "nature" that was passed down from ancient times and engraved in his bones.
Scratching his head, Xie Yu received a theater ticket from Chen Chou, saying that there was a freshest "puppet show" performance in Banyue Tower and invited Xie Yu to watch it.
"Puppet show?"
Then go and see what drama there is in this era!
With these curiosity, Xie Yu went to Banyue Tower.
"Thank you, thank you all for the show..."
Just one word different from Xie Yu, you can see that she is already a big star.
Soon the show started.
Skip these "groupies", oh, put on a mask, a bit of mystery, plus it's a bit stuck, a bit "mechanical dance" shadow.
Compared with traditional dance, it does have a fresh temperament!
No wonder it attracts so many customers... Suddenly Xie Yu heard Zhang Ping say: "Weird..."
Xie Yu suddenly became excited, feeling a bit like Conan and the God of Death.
Looking at the stage again, there is a female dancer hanging from the top like an ordinary puppet. This is nothing, thank you, thank you everyone for your appearance!
Xie Yu was also startled, no!
Suddenly, fireworks were set off at the performance site. Amidst the extravagance, someone used a "fire mirror", which is a magnifying glass.
So thank you everyone for your hair, which suddenly started to catch fire, but thank you everyone….
Sure enough, it was abnormal. Xie Yu quickly rushed onto the stage. In the blink of an eye, the Vajra King Mantra had flown out, and the meteorite spear head and water hyacinth were also taken out from the storage space.
He threw the water hyacinth over Xie's head and split it in half with the tip of the spear. The fire that had just started in his hair was quickly extinguished.
Xie Yu fell to the ground first, then jumped up, using the meteorite iron spearhead to cut off the puppet silk, and then took over Xie everyone.
At this time, the security guards of Banyue Tower began to rush over.
Xie Yu quickly showed his identity card, "Xie Yu, Kaifeng Mansion's eighth-grade sword-wielding captain, Xie Yu, Xie Yu was murdered just now. Please invite a doctor to come over."
"What……."
Upon hearing this, the guards looked at each other in shock and did not dare to come near.
People in the audience and on the stage were all talking about it, saying it was fake. I just thanked everyone that there was indeed a fire in their hair.
But if we are serious, is this also a kind of performance?
Suddenly someone shouted: "I'm from the Criminal Department..."
"I am Dali Si..."
Including Xie Yu from Kaifeng Mansion, the "Third Division" of law enforcement came quite neatly.
Boss Jia of the Puppet Theater Company walked out, "Thank you, thank you all for her..."
Xie Yu: "I'm still breathing, but my neck bones are damaged. I won't be able to speak for a short time. Maybe I can find a doctor..."
As soon as he said this, Boss Jia finally believed it.
Based on the residual aura, Xie Yu naturally judged that it was the hand of a dancer on the same stage.
But at this time, Xie Yu couldn't use "aura" as an excuse to directly identify him!
estimate,
It’s another story about “jealousy” and wanting to be in the upper hand. At the moment, saving people is the most important thing.
Zhang Ping rushed up, looking for the murderer.
Xie Yu went with him, you are a detective enthusiast!
Thank you very much. If you hadn’t met Xie Yu here today, you would have been dead.
It didn't take long for the doctor to come, but it really confirmed Xie Yu's "statement". Boss Jia looked very grateful, especially Mr. Bao recently...
Xie Yu is okay, the faces of the people in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment...
Then, Xie Yu saw Zhang Ping walking out with a young man. This man also had the protagonist's luck. Is it true that birds of a feather flock together?
After asking about it later, I found out that this man's name was Lan Jue, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a fifth-rank civil servant!
With this grade, it is estimated that the young Jinshi is capable, and with this surname, his family background should not be simple.
The two are connected by fate and may be partners in the future!
Guo waited for Xie Yu and the doctor to diagnose and treat Xie Hao and Xie together, and jointly considered the prescription. After one dose of medicine, Xie Hao's condition was completely stabilized.
There is no need for Xie Yu to do anything about the rest of his cultivation. He can just support it with money and he will eventually recover.
When Xie Yu came out, Muchen Zhu had almost sorted out Xie Hao's memories before he died.
Xie Hao is worthy of being a traffic star at this time. Looking at other people's communication circles, if you don't talk about it, you are in the middle of the court...
Unexpectedly, this Xie Hao was still the person from the Ministry of Etiquette, Lang Lanjue, the two of them...
When the officials want to take the tribute examination today, they will also hold the martial arts examination, and the registration conditions are...
Xie Yu's face just looked excited...
Suddenly, I heard the people next to me talking about Lan Jue and a scholar named Zhang Ping.
No, the murderer should not be Pipa Fairy Hanyan, but the dancer from the puppet troupe, Li Niang!
The four dancers who dance with Xie Hao Xie are Zhixia, Lingxiao, Li Niang, and Wanzhuang. Li Niang is one of them. Before Xie Hao Xie's death, he vaguely heard something, "Revenge..."
Thinking of this, Xie Yu hurriedly went backstage, and sure enough, the Li Niang disappeared, and Xie Yugang went to find her...
Zhixia, a relatively timid dancer who was frightened on stage, had something wrong and was a bit schizophrenic.
This kind of mental illness can be cured early, but it will be troublesome at the same time. Xie Yu had to take out acupuncture and combine it with the Vajra King Mantra, which delayed some time...
