Tianlao Official Office.
Zhou Yi pushed the door open and went in, bowing and saluting.
"Uncle Niu, are you looking for me?"
Lieutenant Niu put down his hand and motioned for Zhou Yi to sit down: "This kid's method is too rough. Are you not afraid of the Jinyi Guards' investigation?"
After just listening to the jailer's report, Niu Xiaowei concluded that Zhou Yi had used methods to kill Liu Shilang. This kind of thing was not uncommon in Tianlao. If an official sends a political opponent to prison, he will be forced to pay a sum of money to buy his life.
"Uncle Niu, what do you mean? We are just delivering food honestly."
Zhou Yi pretended to be dumbfounded, neither denying nor admitting.
The bodies of Liu Shilang and Luo Hu were both cold. It can be said that they died without evidence, but it was not without risks. Fengyang country does not have the supremacy of law. Guilty and innocence are all decided by the superiors. Why can't you ask for it under Mimuki?
Lieutenant Niu snorted: "No wonder Mr. Lei told me that you are the most cunning kid in this prison!"
"Master Lei is so complimentary."
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Master Luo has a house in the capital and has hidden thousands of taels of silver. The silver belongs to Uncle Niu, the boxing book belongs to me, and the house belongs to the widow."
"Be particular!"
Niu Xiaowei praised Zhou Yi and became more and more satisfied.
Niu Xiaowei would rather divide his own interests and complete what he promised Luo Hu. Niu Xiaowei thought that he couldn't do it. After all, bullying widows and depriving them of their families was commonplace.
"After all, Master Luo and I have the gift of passing on our skills."
Zhou Yi didn't want to be in the limelight, and the nourishing prescription was not the most important, but he really wanted Liu Shilang to die.
Mr. Liu is such a villain!
This kind of person has no bottom line in doing things. If he is not beaten to death with a stick, he will suffer endless disasters. If the new emperor is made happy and his official position is restored, Zhou Yi will have no choice but to escape.
Captain Niu asked curiously: "I have known for a long time that you are addicted to martial arts, but how can you become famous in practice?"
"I have been weak since I was a child, so practicing martial arts is to strengthen my body."
Zhou Yi picked up the lid of the teacup on the table, twisted it in his hand, and turned it into a handful of powder.
Niu Xiaowei had also been to a martial arts school back then. The guard couldn't stand the hardship of physical training. He didn't even develop a skin mask, but he also understood the division of martial arts realms.
"Iron bones can turn rocks into clay. How can you be so powerful without making a sound?"
"I have been working hard for ten years, and I have never stopped using nourishing decoctions. My talent is already considered inferior."
What Zhou Yi said was not modest. According to what Wei Chang said, one can train his muscles and bones in seven or eight years in the martial arts world, but those who live in the martial arts world do not have time to practice every day.
A true disciple of Master Luo, he has been bathing his body with decoctions since he was a child. By the age of sixteen or seventeen, his muscles and bones have become fully developed, and he is said to be an innate master in the future.
Zhou Yi was envious but not jealous. After all, the genius disciple had died in the rebel army.
Living is the foundation of everything.
Whoever lives longer and outlasts his peers, you are a great master!
Lieutenant Niu clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "You are also a second-rate master in the martial arts world. Why don't you go out and make a living? It's much more enjoyable than sitting here delivering food to people."
"Second-rate is nothing. The top ten martial arts schools in the capital all have masters in refining the internal organs. It is rumored that Master Chen of the Golden Sword Martial Arts School has begun to cleanse the marrow. He has the power to pull down the nine oxen to support Liang Yizhu. In the end, there is not even a whole corpse. Leave!"
Zhou Yi shrugged and said, "I fought so hard that my whole family was executed. How can I be as safe and comfortable as I am?"
The end of the universe is Kaogong!
Zhouyi has already stood at the end of the universe. Moreover, Tianlao has a humble and powerful position, is rich in wealth and does not involve official struggles. It is simply perfect!
Hearing this, Lieutenant Niu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: "Tell me, kid, can I be promoted to prison chief this time?"
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's difficult!"
"How to say?"
Lieutenant Niu straightened his body. He asked this question to many people, and they were all congratulating and flattering.
Everyone believes that the next person to be the prison commander of Tianlao must be Niu Xiaowei.
If outsiders dare to come in and don't understand the rules of the sky prison, they will end up in the cell in a short time!
After careful consideration, Zhou Yi said: "In order to reduce the crime, Mr. Lei must explain Long Ni's plan to the court. How dare your new majesty trust the officials in the prison? He will probably parachute one of his confidants as the prison chief."
After ten years in Tianlao, Zhou Yi had already discovered it.
The mobility of Tianlao official positions was so low that it was almost hereditary.
Lei Siyu's father was a school captain, Niu Xiaowei's grandfather was a former jailer, and even Zhou Yi's father and grandfather were jailers.
The residences of Zhongcheng, the fourth-rank censor in the court, all rented, and Zhou Fu, a junior official, bought a house in Shenjing. Of course, the censor may be pretending to be poor, but it is enough to explain the problem of prison.
Lieutenant Niu snorted unconvinced: "We have all kinds of rules here, both overt and covert. If someone doesn't understand them, can they manage them?"
"I really don't understand the rules, but I can let the Jin Yiwei arrest people. Who among us can resist the investigation? In the end, everyone changed. All the rules are set by others!"
When a strong dragon crosses the river, it is not the dragon who is unlucky, but the local snake who is crushed into dregs.
Seeing Captain Niu's face turning dark, Zhou Yi quickly expressed his loyalty and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Niu, I will definitely support you."
"What good can you do as a food delivery person?"
Captain Niu sighed: "Master Lei also advised me in this way. He took refuge in Long Ni back then, which was why he had his family confiscated and was exiled. Otherwise, the Lei family's generations of Tianlao Captains, no matter which dynasty or generation, would not be short of wealth." !”
The nobles of the imperial court will be reduced from generation to generation. After five generations, the ancestral shadow will be exhausted and they will be no different from ordinary people. However, Tianlao is an iron rice bowl that can be passed down to future generations.
"Uncle Niu, don't worry. If a new adult comes, you will help him!"
Zhou Yi consoled him: "Tianlao has been around since the previous dynasty. No matter who comes to be the warden, it won't be long before it becomes the Tianlao line."
Tianlao is relatively independent and has little contact with various government offices. When the prison door is closed, it becomes a place outside the world.
No one who becomes a superior prisoner and has such great power and interests would think of changing Tianlao!
Niu Xiaowei nodded slightly in agreement and changed the subject: "You are already twenty-seven this year, and you still go to Chunfeng Tower to hang out every day? My eldest brother has a niece who is dignified..."
"Uncle Niu, I have an appointment with Miss Nongyu tonight to talk about the avenue. Let's take the first step!"
Zhou Yi waved his hands again and again, and even after traveling through time, he couldn't escape the urge to get married.
It was acceptable to be just a jailer, and he enjoyed teasing his grandchildren in his later years. However, the existence of the immortality fruit made it impossible for Zhou Yi to stay with anyone forever.
The first is the fear of exposing the secret. The Taoist Fruit of Immortality is the treasure that Zhouyi relies on.
Neither disguise nor the art of transformation is absolutely safe. If you stay with the person next to you for a long time, something may go wrong at any time.
Secondly, beauties age easily. After a few decades, a woman loses her youth, and Zhou Yi doesn't know how to deal with it.
The ladies at Chunfeng Tower are so good. No matter how many years later, they will still be young and beautiful, and they only talk about money, not feelings, and no worries!
Captain Niu glanced at Zhou Yi and waved his hand in disgust.
"Go, go, my niece is gentle and virtuous, I can't let you mess with me like this!"
…
Lower value.
Zhou Yi did not go to Chunfeng Tower, and all banquets and entertainment were prohibited during the national mourning period.
Of course, this did not affect the business of Chunfeng Tower. They opened a back door to secretly welcome customers, but the price went up.
Return to the house.
Zhouyi read the Spring and Autumn Annals for a while, thinking about reviewing what he did today.
"Mr. Long's matter is a bit messy, but after saying this, it's not bad for the body and mind to feel comfortable!"
Being cautious does not mean being depressed and useless. Moreover, martial arts practice also involves state of mind, especially inner Qi practice. Without clear thoughts, progress will be slow or even stagnant.
Throughout the ages, truly strong people rarely rely on talent and resources, but mostly rely on a strong state of mind!
Zhou Yi is naturally an exception. As long as he lives forever, the strong will be nothing more than withered bones in the grave, stories in storybooks, or perhaps the world has forgotten their names.
"There's no harm in exposing your strength to Captain Niu."
Zhou Yi had already revealed his plan, not to compete for power, but to make his life in Tianlao more comfortable.
If you don’t have desires in the system, you will be strong. If you don’t seek advancement, no one can cure you.
As long as it does not affect anyone's interests, and others are not willing to provoke him for no reason, a very capable and flexible food delivery jailer will take care of him on weekdays.
I'll take care of myself, and I'll be lucky today!
"Tomorrow I will go see Master Luo's lover and send him to the countryside to avoid the limelight. As for the money and prescriptions in the house, wait until a year and a half before leaving. It will be safe by then!"
Zhou Yi possesses the most precious treasure in the world, and everything else is nothing.
Now, Shenjing is at its most chaotic, with the Forbidden Army, Black Cavalry, and Jinyi Guards searching and arresting people everywhere. What if Master Luo's house has been discovered?
Zhou Yi went in and threw himself into a trap. Tomorrow someone else would bring him food.
Even if there are no Jin Yiwei, there are still Master Luo's disciples or clan members, a fight will be inevitable... This is all dangerous!
Everything has to wait a few years, and what Zhou Yi does not lack most is time.
After thinking about everything thoroughly, Zhou Yi got up and punched a few times, then went back to his room to meditate and practice the Guiyuan Jue.
The Guiyuan Jue has been slow to advance, and even third-rate masters have not reached it. However, the method of cultivating internal energy has always been about gaining strength from behind and getting stronger with age. Don’t be impatient!
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night is quiet.
A thin shadow jumped over the wall and landed in the darkness, and the night clothes blended into the darkness.
The figure moved furtively along the wall and towards the house.
suddenly.
His feet went soft and his body fell sharply.
Shadow reacted quickly, his inner energy circulated in his legs, and he stepped on his left foot and moved his right foot sideways a few feet to avoid falling into the pothole.
"Grandma, whose yard is digging traps?"
Shadow used the moonlight to see the sharp spikes in the pit shining with cold light, and his heart beat faster in fear. With light and silent steps, he quickly touched the edge of the master bedroom window, opened the window paper and blew incense.
Shadow waited for a moment to confirm that the medicine was taking effect, opened the window and got in, rolling along to weaken the sound of landing.
"ah……"
There was a shrill scream, and the shadow was pricked with holes by more than a dozen nails on the ground.
I don't know what kind of medicine was applied to the nail. Shadow only felt numb and numb. He couldn't muster any strength. He tried to use his internal energy to detoxify, but it had no effect.
"The secret medicine of Jinyiwei is in the hands of the so-called top masters, and they are at the mercy of others!"
Zhou Yi's voice sounded at the window, and he noticed it as soon as the shadow entered the yard. Moreover, he never meditated in the master bedroom, and was just a dummy under the quilt on the bed.
"Hero, spare your life..."
Shadow lay on the ground and begged, and was about to find a reason to relent, but before he could say anything, he saw several crossbow arrows coming.
Half an hour later.
Zhou Yi leveled the land with a shovel and looked up at the jujube tree in the yard.
"The dates produced next year will definitely taste good. Give them to your colleagues!"
