When Jiang Yifeng was kidnapped, the Su family's warriors had already noticed it and sent people to follow him while reporting the matter to Su Yingxue.
After Su Yingxue heard the news, she suppressed the panic in her heart and immediately mobilized all the strength of the Su family to start a blanket search of Su City.
Only then did she realize that after several months of getting along, the man she initially looked down upon had become the most important part of her life.
The Su family's approach quickly caused a sensation.
Many ordinary people began to speculate when they heard that the Su family made such a big fuss over a son-in-law.
"This Su family's adopted son-in-law is really amazing. He took Su Dongchu to visit a brothel before, but not only was he not kicked out of the Su family by Su Yingxue, he actually managed to get the Su family to mobilize so much effort to find him."
"Hey, maybe it's because this son-in-law is so good in bed, and the taste of it makes Su Yingxue want to stop."
"I can testify to this. It is said that the husband-in-law can turn the wheel, and the Madam of Chunxiao Tower will kneel down and beg for mercy."
"Up and down, left and right, the husband can control the steering."
Now that Su Yingxue is in charge of the Su family, deploying such a large force to find Jiang Yifeng will naturally arouse a lot of talk.
However, these people soon discovered that things seemed to be more serious than they imagined.
Because when they went to rice shops, restaurants, and cloth stores to buy things, they found that many shops were closed. After inquiring, they learned that the Zhao family, the Wang family, the Song family, and the county governor's office had all joined the search for the Su family's son-in-law. middle.
Only then did they realize that the inconspicuous son-in-law of the Su family was by no means as simple as they seemed.
Of course, there are far more than these four forces being mobilized this time. People from Chunxiao Tower, Caibang Zhu Family, Foot Travel Qian Family, and Coal Village are also looking for Jiang Yifeng.
Among so many forces, the most active ones are the villagers of Mei Village.
They don’t know who revealed the news to them. Anyway, when they heard the news for the first time, they didn’t even verify the authenticity or open their mouths. They spontaneously picked up torches and searched all over the mountains and fields on the cold winter night. .
As for the other forces, except Chunxiao Tower, they were all initiated by Su Dongchu.
As the boss of Yuelu Academy, Su Dongchu only needs to raise his arms and his younger brothers will immediately go home to gather manpower.
However, this behavior made the gentlemen of Yuelu Academy very angry, because when they were teaching, they found that all the students were gone.
After knowing the cause and effect, these gentlemen went to Hu Fuzi to complain.
"Master, Su Dongchu relies on his ability to write poems. He often skips school. This time he even led other students to skip school."
"We must set rules for him, otherwise he will become more and more disobedient and lead to other students being misled."
"Master, we can't let him do this again."
After hearing the complaints from the gentlemen, Master Hu smiled slightly and said, "What you see is a lack of rules, but what I see is unity. Looking at it from another perspective, it is actually acceptable."
After hearing this, the gentlemen immediately understood that Master Hu supported this behavior, and even though they were dissatisfied, they did not say anything else.
After the gentlemen left, Hu Fuzi stood up, picked up the briquettes tongs and tinkered with the briquettes stove, then put his hand on the stove to bake, with a smile on his old face.
"The lifeless Yuelu Academy finally began to glow with life."
At this moment, this teacher who had been exploring all his life finally understood which path to take.
the other side……
Jiang Yifeng woke up again and was accepting Zhong Bugui's apology.
Zhong Bugui's face was full of sincerity, "Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that Junior Sister would be so naughty as to knock you out."
Jiang Yifeng rubbed his temples. He didn't want to hear an apology, he just wanted to stay away from the brothers and sisters as soon as possible.
So, he said: "There is no need to apologize, but I have a request."
Zhong Bugui asked hurriedly: "What's the request?"
Jiang Yifeng said: "After I solve the trouble you encountered, please disappear from my eyes immediately."
Zhong Bugui smiled and nodded, "That's natural. As long as the problem is solved, we will never disturb Mr. Jiang again."
After hearing this, Jiang Yifeng felt relieved and asked, "Tell me, what exactly is going on."
Zhong Bugui thought for a while and said: "This incident happened in Yecheng, Bashu County. Yecheng was built next to the Ye River. On weekdays, there is nothing wrong with it. But as soon as the rainy season comes, the Ye River will overflow, so..."
After listening to Zhong Bugui's description, Jiang Yifeng had a rough understanding of what happened.
It turns out that a sect called the Witch Cult appeared in Yecheng. They made a lot of money under the guise of preventing the Ye River from flooding.
Of course, if it was just about making money, it wouldn't alarm the Momen. The problem was human sacrifice.
Every year when the rainy season is about to come, the witch sect will look for those beautiful girls on the pretext of choosing brides of the river god, dress them up carefully, and throw them into the Ye water.
If the Ye River did not flood, it would be the work of the witchcraft.
But if the Ye River floods, the witch church will say that the girl they selected did not satisfy the river god and start a new round of sacrifices.
Over time, ordinary people living in Yecheng were in panic all day long.
Jiang Yifeng frowned slightly, "With the strength of Mo Sect, can't we destroy this witch sect?"
Zhong Bugui smiled bitterly, "The Momen can naturally destroy the Witch Cult easily. The key is that the Witch Cult has many loyal followers. If the Witch Cult is destroyed directly, the problem may not be solved, and the county magistrate of Yecheng is also involved."
Jiang Yifeng asked: "Then why did you ask me to borrow money?"
Zhong Bugui replied: "After observing the situation of the Ye River, my uncle discovered that as long as we dig canals to divert water and dredge the river, the Ye River will stop flooding. Momen has no money, so we can only borrow some from Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yifeng: "..."
By co-authoring, you are taking yourself for granted!
Besides, just because Momen looks so poor and talks about borrowing money, he probably won't be able to expect them to repay him in this life.
At this time, Zhao Toutou saw that Jiang Yifeng was silent and asked: "Is there anything you can do? If you can't, just lend us the money."
Jiang Yifeng rolled his eyes at Tou Tou Zhao, "Do you think Momen can solve the problem if I lend you the money?"
Zhao Toutou said confidently: "As long as canals are dug to divert water and the rivers are dredged, floods will not occur in the Ye River. Wouldn't this solve the problem?"
Jiang Yifeng sneered, "Have you ever thought about it, the Momen know this, the witchcraft know it, but ordinary people don't."
Zhao Toutou was confused, "What do you mean?"
Zhong Bugui thought for a while and explained: "Master Jiang means that in order to make money, the witch sect will not allow the Momen to dig canals to divert water and dredge the rivers."
However, Tou Tou Zhao disagreed and said contemptuously: "A third-rate sect, the Mo Sect can be destroyed easily."
"Can you stop focusing on growing breasts and grow a brain?"
Jiang Yifeng glanced at the two balls and continued: "There are so many believers in the Witch Sect. They don't need to do it themselves. As long as they send believers to cause trouble, what can the Mo Sect do?"
Zhao Toutou's face was red with embarrassment, he put his hands in front of his chest and said angrily: "Even if what you say makes sense, you can't look around, otherwise I'll pluck out your eyeballs."
"It's as if no one cares about it."
Jiang Yifeng turned his head to the side.
Although Zhao Toutou is very big, it is wrapped too tightly and is far less beautiful than Shishi's looming beauty.
Moreover, Shishi is so good at hooves. She shows him from different angles every time. He doesn’t know how much of the big and white thing, so how could it be so rare and tightly wrapped?
"you……"
Mr. Zhao was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Seeing this, Zhong Bugui quickly comforted Mr. Zhao a few words, and then looked helplessly at Jiang Yifeng, "Master Jiang, please don't irritate junior sister, she has a bad temper."
Jiang Yifeng was unhappy when he heard this, "I have to let her go if she has a bad temper. My temper is not good yet. Will it stop you from knocking me out three times?"
Zhong Bugui could see that Jiang Yifeng was full of resentment and knew that he was in the wrong. After hesitating for a long time, he took out a wooden ball and sent it to Jiang Yifeng.
"Mr. Jiang, I will give this to you as an apology, so don't be angry."
Jiang Yifeng looked at the wooden ball and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle."
Zhong Bugui explained: "There is a trap inside, with hundreds of poisonous needles hidden inside. When using it, press the switch and then throw it out with force, which can cause large-scale damage."
Jiang Yifeng raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this the Tang Sect's hidden weapon?"
"Tangmen?"
Zhong Bugui was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Yifeng, "Master Jiang, there is no Tang Sect in Jianghu. Could it be that they also make such hidden weapons?"
Jiang Yifeng nodded.
Zhong Bugui said with a smile: "If I have the chance, I would like to ask for advice, but the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is really the Mo Sect's hidden weapon, and the Mo Sect's mechanism technique is unparalleled in the world."
"I believe this."
Jiang Yifeng nodded again.
In fact, after Zhao Toutou left last time, he specifically inquired about information about Momen, and finally concluded that Momen was the Mo family in his previous life.
As one of the hundreds of schools of thought, the Mohists studied natural science and created scientific theories such as geometry, physics, and optics.
However, the Mohist family is most famous for its mechanism skills.
Jiang Yifeng guessed that the Tang Sect may have split from the Mo Sect, or it may be that he mastered the Mo Sect's mechanism skills by chance and was so good at hidden weapons.
It's a pity that the Mo family's machine skills are not only hidden weapons, but can also create many other things, but the Tang clan obviously only inherited hidden weapons.
Wait a moment!
Jiang Yifeng suddenly thought of something, and a crazy idea brewed in his mind.
If gunpowder was invented and combined with the Mohist mechanism, wouldn't it be easy to invent firearms?
And the public losers…
The public losers' carpentry skills are unparalleled in the world. If they were told the principles of the steam engine and combined with superb carpentry skills, a steam car would be able to be built.
Oh My God!
I only remembered such an important thing now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng returned the wooden ball and smiled slightly, "It's easy to see from the expression on your junior sister's gritted teeth that this hidden weapon should be very precious. How can I accept it if a gentleman doesn't take away someone's love?"
He paused, glanced at Mr. Zhao, and continued: "Your junior sister and I often quarrel, mainly because she is too reckless, and many of her ways not only fail to save people, but actually harm them."
In order to leave a good impression on Zhong Bugui, Jiang Yifeng could only slightly change his image, at least he had to look full of justice.
"Master Jiang, you are so kind and righteous!"
Hearing this, Zhong Bugui quickly stood up and bowed his hands respectfully towards Jiang Yifeng, "But even so, I can't take back the Pear Blossom Needle in the heavy rain."
"Why?"
Zhong Bugui replied: "Young Master Jiang is a scribe. He has no means to save his life when he is in danger. This hidden weapon should be used for Young Master Jiang's self-defense!"
"this……"
Jiang Yifeng pretended to be embarrassed, and finally sighed and said: "Zhong Daxia is still thoughtful. Only when I am safe can I save more people, so I will accept it without any difficulty."
After speaking, he put the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle into his clothes and continued: "I have thought of a solution to the matter you just mentioned."
"any solution?"
Zhong Bugui and Zhao Toutou looked at Jiang Yifeng at the same time.
Jiang Yifeng said calmly: "The method has two steps. The first step is to get rid of the witch religion first, so that the people who have been bewitched will no longer believe in the witch religion, let alone the river god marrying a bride."
"The second step is to dig canals to divert water and dredge rivers. Only by completely solving the flooding of Ye River can the witchcraft religion disappear completely."
After listening to Jiang Yifeng's method, Zhong Bugui frowned slightly and said, "Master Jiang, it is easy to get rid of the witch cult and dig canals to divert water, but it is very troublesome to make ordinary people no longer believe in the witch cult."
Jiang Yifeng smiled and said: "I have a method that can easily solve this trouble. Do you have paper and pen?"
"have!"
Zhong Bugui took out a wooden tube and shook it twice, turning it into a writing brush with its own ink.
Jiang Yifeng picked up a pen, wrote down his own method, and handed it to Zhong Bugui.
Zhong Bugui looked at the ink that had not yet dried, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what is written on it?"
Jiang Yifeng was startled, "Are you illiterate?"
Zhong Bugui scratched his head in embarrassment, "I've had headaches since I was little when I saw the characters, so I don't recognize them."
Jiang Yifeng asked: "Then why are you bringing pen and paper?"
Zhong Bugui blushed, "This makes me look like a scholar."
Jiang Yifeng: "..."
However, when he thought about it again, he felt that this was normal.
The literacy rate has been very low since ancient times. The reason why he thinks the literacy rate is high is that he is surrounded by wealthy people, so the literacy rate is naturally high.
In fact, the literacy rate in Dazhou is only about one percent, and only one person in a hundred people can read.
"Senior brother, it's not good."
At this time, Mr. Zhao's face darkened, "I heard a lot of people coming towards us, we have to leave quickly."
However, Zhong Bugui hesitated.
After thinking for a long time, he folded the method written by Jiang Yifeng and handed it to Zhao Toutou, "You take this back and I'll keep it."
Zhao Toutou was startled and said hurriedly: "Senior Brother, we have enough time to escape now, we don't need you to cut off the rear."
"I'm not a queen!"
Zhong Bugui shook his head slightly, looked at Jiang Yifeng and said, "Although I don't have much contact with Mr. Jiang, I found that he is a man of great talent. I want to stay by his side and learn from him how to benefit the world."
Hearing this, Zhao Toutou was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Zhong Bugui, and then left.
When Zhao Toutou left, Zhong Bugui followed Jiang Yifeng out of the ruined temple, and was stunned for the next second.
Because he saw that wherever he looked, there were people holding torches looking for Jiang Yifeng. The number was beyond his imagination.
Those holding torches were like stars in the dark night, illuminating the cold and biting night.
Zhong Bugui asked enviously: "Why is it that Momen has been practicing the benefits of rejuvenating the world and eliminating the harm of the world, but you are not the only one to win the hearts of the people?"
"Maybe it's because Momen likes to fight alone too much!"
After Jiang Yifeng finished speaking, he looked at the clock and did not understand. He grinned and said: "A gentleman once said that all forces that can be united must be united. In this way, any difficulties and enemies will be paper tigers."
