In order to show the majesty of the court and express the royal concern for the people, Emperor Xianlong ordered a group of grain merchants who were hoarding goods to make the country difficult to make money and beheaded in the Western Market.
Suddenly many people came to watch.
"Good guys, these are all high-ranking officials and senior officials."
"Tsk, tsk, people have misfortune and good fortune. It's really hard to predict this fate."
"Yes, who would have thought of it. But they are not worthy of sympathy at all, because they hoard goods and drive up food prices to benefit the country."
"Yes, this kind of person deserves to be killed!"
"Kill! Kill them all!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Since there were so many people involved in beheading, the executioner divided the prisoners into several rows and brought them forward one by one to kill them.
These wealthy businessmen were so scared that they were shaking like chaff, and their bodies were as soft as a pile of mud.
The executioner pushed them down on the chopping block like chickens, and then swung the big knife down and their heads fell to the ground.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the air.
After one group was killed, another group came forward to kill them.
The onlookers kept clapping their hands and cheering. For them, it was a happy thing to see the government killing people.
This can make their ordinary life exciting and can also temporarily vent their emotions.
After all, their lives have been affected to some extent since martial law.
Not to mention the price of food. With the skyrocketing prices, ordinary people cannot even afford a bucket of rice.
"I heard that this is all thanks to Mr. Zhao."
"It was Master Zhao who discovered that these profiteers were driving up food prices. If it weren't for Master Zhao's wisdom, we might not be able to eat this cheap food."
"Yes, yes, we all have to thank Mr. Zhao."
…
…
In the Bad Man's Yamen, Zhao Xun is eating Xiao Long Bao.
He did not go to the West Market to watch the execution because he did not have this habit.
In this world, food and love are the only things you can’t live up to.
Zhao Xun would rather spend more time tasting delicious food.
"Brother Ming Yun's case is now concluded."
Wangcai looked very happy.
After all, although Zhao Xun was nominally handling this case, Wangcai actually played a big role in it.
"Yes, I can breathe a sigh of relief after this case is over. It's the time when we need to be united in dealing with the outside world. Everyone has the energy to work together."
Zhao Xun paused and said: "I just took this opportunity to ask the Sixth Senior Brother to send a message and invite the senior brothers and sisters from the academy to come and play in Chang'an City. It is understandable that the mountain chief is unwilling to move for the time being, but the senior brothers and sisters from the academy It’s better to come first.”
"That's true. With so many experts around me, I feel more at ease."
Wangcai was very timid, so of course he would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of her.
"The people in the Demon Sect don't know what they are waiting for. Is it really the door of darkness?"
Zhao Xun suddenly remembered the fragment left by the high priest in Jie Li's ancient sea of consciousness. After thinking hard for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe it's just a gimmick?"
Wangcai scratched his head and said: "If you can't figure it out, let's just leave it alone. Sooner or later there will be a fight anyway, whether it's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and run around. Brother Mingyun, don't worry too much. You have the protection of the mountain chief. What's the matter? It’s so scary. High priest? I’m afraid he’s just a native chicken and a tile-dog. Relax, we Chang’an people are the best.”
"Stay steady and we can win."
…
…
From Dongyue Kingdom to Chang'an, the distance is thousands of miles.
Wei Wuji wanted to arrive, but it only took a moment.
This is the magical power of top practitioners.
Essentially, this is a kind of teleportation technique, but people from different sects have different names for it, and the one that is transmitted in the end is magical.
Of course, Wei Wuji came to Chang'an because he saw an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, rather than an invitation from the high priest of the Demon Sect.
To put it bluntly, he didn't care much about the so-called High Priest of the Demon Sect.
What the High Priest of the Demon Sect said was dispensable in his opinion.
There was only one thing he really cared about, and that was whether he could kill the dog emperor, Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong and Wei Wuji had a bloody feud, and Wei Wuji devoted himself to practicing martial arts largely for revenge.
It's just that there is an academy in Chang'an, and the academy has a mountain chief.
It was impossible for the mountain chief to watch Emperor Xianlong being killed by an East Vietnamese.
Because this is related to the scholar’s face.
So Wei Wuji has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity where the mountain leader is forced to be distracted.
He needs helpers, helpers to help him lure the mountain chief away.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect is the best choice.
Rather than saying that Wei Wuji came to show respect to the high priest at the invitation, it is better to say that the two of them got what they needed.
The Demon Sect has the purpose of the Demon Sect, and the Dongyue Sword Pavilion has the purpose of the Dongyue Sword Pavilion.
As long as both parties can achieve their goals, it's a win-win situation.
However, after Wei Wuji arrived in Chang'an, he did not go to see the high priest immediately. Instead, he went to a ruined temple to meet an old friend.
He met this old friend seventeen years ago. At that time, Wei Wuji had not yet achieved great success in martial arts, and his swordsmanship was not considered top-notch.
But that old friend said something to Wei Wuji, which had a profound impact on Wei Wuji.
That is, you can only protect your loved ones and loved ones by becoming the strongest person in the world. Otherwise, you can only watch your beloved relatives and friends disappear from you one by one.
From that moment on, Wei Wuji was immersed in the world of spiritual practice and devoted himself to martial arts.
Now that Wei Wuji's cultivation level is almost the strongest in the world, he wants to express his gratitude to this old friend.
…
…
"Junior brother, what do you mean by calling us all to Chang'an City? Are you afraid that it will be inconvenient to call people in if there is a real fight? Don't worry, if there is any slight change in the weather, we will come to reinforce you."
The first words that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said after arriving in Chang'an City made Zhao Xun feel warm in his heart.
His senior brothers and sisters in the academy really have nothing to say about him, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as hard-working and uncomplaining.
"Haha, Third Senior Brother, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."
Zhao Xun scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was actually really afraid that it would be inconvenient to call someone in a fight. But now it seems that I was overthinking it. In fact, it is a good thing for you to come to Chang'an for a while, and it will be good for a change of environment. "
"When it comes to eloquence, if I don't agree with anyone, then I will obey you, my junior brother."
Long Qingquan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Second senior sister Liu Yingying took a step forward and said very forcefully: "Then you have to arrange the best accommodation. You must not settle."
"That's nature, that's nature..."
"Second Senior Sister, I will arrange a separate house for you. It is a separate courtyard of my family in Chang'an. It has a three-bedroom apartment. There will be no problem for you guys to live there. This courtyard is also close to the bad guys' yamen, so it will be easy to fight. To take care of you, what do you think, Senior Sister?"
Zhao Xun turned to Senior Sister Xiao Ning and smiled.
Compared to the sharp-tongued Second Senior Sister, Senior Sister Xiao Ning is obviously much easier to talk to.
She smiled slightly and said, "Just do as you say, little junior brother."
This little junior brother's cry was so sweet that it touched Zhao Xun's heart.
Zhao Xun felt a tingling sensation and quickly cleared his throat and said: "Without further delay, I will take all the senior brothers and sisters there now."
...
...
The Zhao family has several villas in Chang'an City. The one where Zhao Xun took his senior brothers and sisters was located a block away from Dongshi City, and not far from the Delinquent Office.
This house is very low-key. Not many people know that it is the property of the Duke Chengguo, and it meets all of Zhao Xun's requirements.
It's better to keep a low profile. After all, he asked the senior brothers and sisters from the academy to come here to take charge, not to show off their prestige.
After all, this matter is still somewhat illegal, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
"This is it when we get there."
Zhao Xun led the man to his own courtyard in a familiar manner, then walked up and knocked on the door.
After a while, someone opened the door and saw Zhao Xun in front of him. A smile immediately filled his face.
"Oh, it's the young father-in-law who's here. Why are you here?"
Zhao Xun rarely came to live in other courtyards on weekdays. He usually lived and ate in the bad people's yamen. On holidays, he usually went directly to the Duke's Mansion to stay.
That's why the servants from this other courtyard asked like this.
Zhao Xun cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, I will arrange for some senior brothers and sisters to stay in another courtyard. You must take good care of them and don't neglect them."
"The villain has taken note of it."
When working for noble people like the Duke and his family, obedience is the most important thing.
It's never wrong to talk less and do more. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, otherwise you may get into trouble.
Zhao Xun led his senior brothers and sisters into the courtyard, and heard the third senior brother Long Qingquan exclaim: "Okay, this courtyard is well built. It is quiet and elegant. I didn't expect that such an elegant building could be built in Chang'an City." 's yard."
Zhao Xun knew that the third senior brother was an ultimate hedonist.
It's really not an easy thing to get a compliment from him.
Of course, Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister are also very satisfied. On the contrary, the tenth senior brother, who had always been naive, frowned and said, "Junior brother, why do I think this house is weird?"
strange?
Zhao Xun was a little stunned for a moment, what did this mean.
"Why did Tenth Senior Brother say this?"
Zhao Xun asked after swallowing a mouthful of spit.
"It's hard to describe this feeling, but it's just weird."
The tenth senior brother looked around, looked around carefully and said, "It's just that there are too many rules. The layout of the academy is completely different from here. The emphasis in the academy is to teach without distinction and follow one's own will. But here everything is strict. Just like it’s natural that there should be a tree here, and there should be a cluster of flowers there.”
Although the tenth senior brother was a fool, Zhao Xun understood what he said.
"There is really nothing we can do about it. As you know, Tenth Senior Brother, my family is also a family of ministers. Although it is not as good as the royal family, it still pays attention to etiquette and rules. In fact, it is much better here. If you were in the Duke's Mansion, you would feel even more depressed and cramped. .”
What Zhao Xun said is also true.
He is a time traveler, and he was actually very uncomfortable in the first few days after traveling to this world.
Because the life in Guogong Mansion is too stylized.
Straightforward, there are basically no variables.
In comparison, life in the other courtyard is already much easier.
Of course, it is completely incomparable to the leisurely life in Zhongnanshan Haoran Academy.
Life in the academy is an idyllic experience.
But when I walked to a waterless place, I sat down and watched the clouds rise.
No exaggeration at all.
Coupled with the wild and unruly character of the mountain leader, the construction of the academy has no rules at all.
The mountain chief thought that there should be a bamboo building next to the bamboo forest, so he built a bamboo building.
The mountain chief thought there should be a pavilion next to the goose pond, so he erected a pavilion.
The senior brothers and sisters in the academy also played their best in the academy and lived their lives into their ideals.
"Okay, it's just a few days anyway. Once we defeat the demon sect monsters, we can go back and live."
The tenth senior brother nodded.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, Tenth Senior Brother is just showing off invisibly.
Just a few days, does that mean they can defeat the Demon Sect practitioners in just a few days?
This is a good thing. But the premise of all this is that the grassland barbarians and the demon sect can't help but attack the city.
From the current point of view, these guys' ninjutsu is really good, but after so long, they have no desire to attack at all.
Of course, Zhao Xun knew they were waiting for the opportunity.
However, with the senior brothers and sisters from the academy here, Zhao Xun seemed to have taken a reassurance and was not worried at all.
"Oh, by the way, I'll take the senior brothers and sisters to see the room first."
The house has three floors, divided into front yard, back yard and garden.
The front yard is mainly used for entertaining guests, the backyard is the main residence, and the garden is a place for entertainment and recreation.
As a junior brother, Zhao Xun should still fulfill his duty as a landlord and lead his senior brothers and sisters to familiarize themselves with the environment.
...
...
When Zhao Xun led his senior brothers and sisters to the backyard and saw the room, the second senior sister Liu Yingying, who was always picky, couldn't help but admire: "This room is really nice, and the details are very exquisite."
The Sixth Senior Brother also nodded in agreement: "When I was in Shuzhong, I felt that the people of Bashu knew how to enjoy, but now it seems that the people in Chang'an really know how to enjoy. How much money does a house like this cost, Junior Brother?"
"Well...I really don't know very well."
Zhao Xun said a little embarrassed.
As a prince of the country, he had no interest in such worldly things.
If he hadn't accidentally joined the bad guys and come into contact with many things he had never been exposed to in this world, Zhao Xun would really be a canary imprisoned in a cage.
"I don't care about this, as long as all the senior brothers and sisters are happy here, it will be great."
Zhao Xun's little mouth is very sweet, as if it has been smeared with honey.
"Well, let's move in first. How will the rooms be allocated?"
The senior sister raised her eyebrows and said.
Long Qingquan jumped out quickly and said: "Of course, senior sister has the final say. The academy pays attention to seniority. Now that the mountain chief is not here, senior sister is the biggest."
Zhao Xun thought to himself, "What a guy, I didn't expect that the third senior brother is a professional dog licker."
This licking really makes people feel very comfortable.
As expected, the senior sister nodded very helpfully and said: "In that case, I will choose the one on the north side, and you can choose the rest."
Second senior sister Cui Yingying said: "Then I'll choose the one next to it."
The senior brothers and sisters in the academy chose the rooms that suited their liking in order, and then joked and joked: "We are all here. Junior brother, why don't you do your best to treat us as a landlord?"
