Chapter 11: Righteousness from all over the world, waves rise in the southeast
Looking at the corpse with ropes attached, Xu Xing sighed for a long time.
It is difficult to obtain the Tao, and it is even harder to cultivate the Tao.
It is extremely difficult to be sincere and upright at all times, not to be deceived by external things, and not to lose your ambition.
Even a great boxer like Lian Sheng, who is only one step away from the master level, cannot be consistent and eventually gives up halfway.
However, this emotion was fleeting. Xu Xing picked up the iron stick with one foot, picked up the long stick with his still intact left hand, and turned around.
He raised the iron rod at an angle, turned to look at Zheng Michang, Ma Ningyuan, and Shen Yishi who were hiding in the corner, shivering, and asked calmly:
"Who is Zheng Michang?"
Zheng Michang forced a smile. Just as he calmed down and tried to calm down, and wanted to say something, Xu Xing kicked up a piece of gravel and pierced his throat.
Since there was no need to torture the information, Xu Xing was naturally too lazy to talk nonsense with this beast and just made him confused.
Xu Xing looked at the two people again, his tone did not waver at all, and asked again:
"Who is Ma Ningyuan?"
Now, he is like an impermanent man holding a book of life and death, just one click of the judge's pen, and he is about to take his life.
Ma Ningyuan was so frightened that his legs were trembling and he could not speak. However, Shen Yishi stared at Xu Xing and suddenly said:
"Master Xu, my name is Shen Yishi, and I am your uncle's friend.
This Mr. Ma is not a heinous person. If you kill him, there will be no one in Hangzhou to take on important responsibilities and preside over affairs. I am afraid it will harm the overall situation of the southeast. ”
Shen Yishi said this very quickly, obviously fearing that Xu Xing would be impulsive and send Ma Ningyuan back to the west.
"Oh?"
Xu Xing raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that there was someone here who knew him and his uncle.
Just as he was about to say something, a large group of people came rushing in behind him. These people were all villagers in the manor.
They were holding torches and various weapons. As soon as they crossed the threshold, they saw the miserable scene of mess and blood in the living room. They immediately aimed their swords, guns, swords and halberds at Xu Xing.
Shen Yishi suddenly changed his color and shouted angrily:
"Get out!"
The villagers looked at each other in confusion. Just as the leader of the nursing home was about to say something, he saw his master's cold eyes sweeping towards them.
He immediately shuddered and left without saying a word.
Xu Xing looked at Shen Yishi, with an added layer of surprise in his eyes. He was really capable of training his servants to do such things.
He dragged the iron rod to Shen Yishi, nodded slightly and said:
"Are you the most wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, Shen Yishi? I heard my uncle mention you. He said that although you are a businessman, you rarely smell like copper and you are still a semi-elegant person."
When Shen Yishi heard this comment, he sighed and said with a wry smile:
"The editor is still so mean. There are no half-hearted people. He just scolded me that Shen is neither down-to-earth nor enlightened, and can only be a businessman stuck in the mud."
Xu Xing said seriously:
"It's rude to scold my father at my son. My uncle treats me like my own father. Boss Shen, I don't want to say that."
However, thinking of his uncle's sharp-tongued appearance, Xu Xing couldn't hold back and burst out laughing:
"However, with his temperament, that's probably what he meant."
Shen Yishi also laughed and said slowly: "Your uncle wrote a letter before, asking me to take care of you more, but now it seems..."
Looking at the living room, he couldn't help but sigh: "With your level of boxing skills, why do you need me to take care of you?"
Xu Xing thought of that thin figure, his smile faded, but his heart felt warm. He waved his hand and said with emotion:
"The old man just loves to think about things."
Although Xu Xing and his uncle spent less time together and more away from each other due to practicing boxing, the two had quite compatible personalities and often communicated through letters, so they had a deep and unusual relationship.
After saying that, Xu Xing looked at Ma Ningyuan again and said slowly:
"As for the man named Ma, I thought he was the same as Zheng Michang and He Maocai. However, what he said just now is quite upright and bloody.
In this case, I will let this man go first. I will let my apprentice come to collect the debt for him arresting my apprentice Qi Dazhu for no reason. ”
Just now, although Xu Xing was outside the house, he could clearly hear the conversation in the living room with his extraordinary hearing.
After hearing Ma Ningyuan's categorical words just now, his view of the Hangzhou prefect changed greatly.
I know that this is Hu Zongxian's die-hard confidant, and I also know that Ma Ningyuan is a man with backbone and blood.
In this case, Xu Xingzi had no need to kill him.
Of course, how to deal with this person in the end depends on Qi Dazhu's opinion.
Now, it might as well let him play his role in the position he is good at.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing said again:
"However, he must first release the farmers who were wrongly accused in prison, clear their names, and restore their innocence."
Before Shen Yishi could speak, Ma Ningyuan immediately responded:
"Of course, of course."
Xu Xing nodded slightly.
Shen Yishi could tell that even with Xu Wenchang's relationship, Xu Xing still changed his mind because of his own rules and temper.
Obviously, this is a person who acts according to his own rules and is not influenced by the outside world.
Thinking of this, Shen Yishi was a little curious and couldn't help asking:
"Master Xu, I don't think you are the kind of person who acts unscrupulously and without regard to the consequences. If I weren't here today, what would you do?"
Xu Xing chuckled, his eyes sparkling, and he said leisurely:
"People like Zheng Michang, regardless of the situation in the southeast, mobilized officers and soldiers to forcefully plant seedlings and promote the conversion of rice to mulberry. They must have been under pressure from the DPRK and China.
This also means that the contradictions and differences between the Yandang and Qingliu in North Korea have reached their peak, and there must be a fight.
I have also heard something about Hu Butang's temperament. He was thinking about Yan Song's kindness and was unwilling to join the Qing Dynasty to fight against this old thief. He also did not want to see the people in chaos, so he could only exert his efforts in the dark.
In the end, he will probably be the one to fix the mess.
In this case, I might as well kill all these people in the name of Japanese pirates, and then notify my uncle to take over.
Waiting for the death of several senior members of the Yan Party, even if Hu Butang didn't want to take action, in order to guard against Zhu Tiandu, he could only take the entire Zhejiang region and even the southeast into his hands, using this as a basis to consolidate his power.
After this change, the imperial court should also realize that the situation in the southeast has been turbulent and overturn is imminent. This national policy of "changing rice to mulberry" has no ground for implementation. ”
After hearing Xu Xing's plan, Shen Yishi had to admit that this young man's actions seemed reckless and dangerous, but in fact they were a quick and decisive move to cut through the mess.
His act of killing first and then showing off, and the general pulling out the chariot, is tantamount to coercing all parties in the southeast to advance and accelerate differentiation, which is also a good way to solve the dilemma.
Thinking again about Xu Xing's recitation of the poem just now, Shen Yishi couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.
Wen Chang's nephew is really versatile in both civil and military affairs. It would be a waste to simply be a martial artist with fists.
He couldn't help but speak and praised:
"Once this plan is implemented, it will be considered foolproof and will ensure that the Southeast is worry-free."
After seeing that Xu Xing was not an unreasonable person, Shen Yishi calmly replaced the slightly distant title of "Mr. Xu" with a more affectionate name.
When Xu Xing heard this, he just sighed and shook his head silently.
Even Ma Ningyuan on the side couldn't help it anymore and asked:
"Master Xu, what do you mean?"
After serving as an official for many years, Ma Ningyuan's level of observation was naturally not low, so he followed Shen Yishi's previous title and called him "Master Xu". Although he was not dissatisfied with Xu Xing's attempt to coerce Hu Butang and force the governor of Zhejiang Province to make a decision, he had to admit that this was indeed a clever plan.
Moreover, Xu Xing is probably the only person in the world who has the ability and means to put this strategy into practice.
Xu Xing danced the iron rod in his hand like a stick flower and replied calmly:
"Nothing in the world is ever perfect, and now the people in the court are almost crazy. Yan Dang, Qingliu, and even the emperor himself are all involved, and they will not stop.
Among these forces, I am afraid that none of them really wants the Southeast to be better off. The Yan Party is like the emperor's old man with white gloves. They are doing something to change rice into mulberry, just to harvest money.
Instead of changing rice to mulberry, they would have other means.
Most likely Qingliu hoped to take this opportunity to force Southeast to rebel and make the situation so unmanageable that the emperor, who cherishes his feathers, would have to abandon the strict party for the sake of reputation.
What's more, Zhu Tiandu is not an easy person. Will he really sit back and watch the turmoil in the southeast without intervening?
With internal and external troubles coming at the same time, this is a situation where the building is about to collapse. How can a so-called foolproof strategy be able to stop it? ”
Thanks to his foresight ahead of the times and the historical information at his disposal, Xu Xing's analysis of the situation was simply penetrating.
Ma Ningyuan and Shen Yishi were dumbfounded and couldn't believe that such thorough words came from the mouth of a martial artist.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
They didn't even notice the disrespectful attitude towards the emperor in Xu Xing's words.
Seeing the shocked looks of the two people, Xu Xing sighed again, shook his head and said:
"Now that the situation is like this, you and I can only fight for it.
I hope that my actions can buy Hu Butang and the others more time to reorganize their military affairs in preparation for the war. ”
After saying that, Xu Xing ignored the two people who were thinking blankly, turned around and ran to the tied body, reaching out and groping for it.
After practicing boxing in the north for many years, Xu Xing also developed a habit of searching the body every time he killed a boxer.
The martial arts inheritance in this world has always been extremely confidential and solemn.
Martial arts have had a saying about disciples since ancient times. If such disciples get the true inheritance, they have to hang up a curtain to cover their practice, and even their family members are not allowed to watch.
Therefore, martial arts also has another name, called "Gua Zi Xing".
Therefore, all boxing masters who have professional skills will keep the most essential boxing records inherited from their masters closely to prevent Xiaoxiao from taking advantage of them.
Fortunately, the most essential parts of these martial arts inheritances are often short in length and easy to carry.
Just as there is a saying in Zen Buddhism, "The Tripitaka has twelve parts, and Caoxi is dead in one sentence."
The more advanced the boxer's boxing skills are, the more he will keep these secrets close to him.
Because they believe that the safest place in the world is only around themselves.
When Xu Xing first started out, he didn't know this. It was from the words of Lu Zhu, a young "old Jianghu", that he understood this principle and developed a habit.
He has a lot of boxing skills, and apart from exchanging boxing records with northern boxers, most of them were learned through this method.
Thinking of those days when they traveled together and each time they defeated a powerful enemy, the two of them would use their boxing skills to decide who could touch the body first. Xu Xing couldn't help but smile and miss his old friend.
I just don’t know, how is the young monk doing in Shaolin?
Xu Xing touched it, and sure enough, he took out a leather booklet from Liansheng's chest.
He only weighed it with his wrist and rubbed it with his fingers, and he knew it was a good product.
Generally speaking, what can be recorded on this kind of parchment is the essence of each sect that has been passed down for many years, rather than the boxer's personal experience.
Moreover, the paper is rough to the touch and looks like it has been turned over day and night.
But Xu Xing opened it with great expectations and found that it was not a boxing secret book at all, but an account book.
He was a little disappointed at first, but after a quick glance, he realized that the record was clearly a record of the Blackstone organization accepting bribes from various officials to do their dirty work.
Xu Xing glanced sideways and saw that Shen and Ma were not paying attention, so he quietly put the account book into his sleeves.
Although he had a vague plan in mind, he decided to hand over the account book to Xu Wei.
This kind of exhausting and scheming work should be done by my uncle who is full of bad intentions.
Xu Xing also realized one thing from this. If he killed this person, he would probably cause some trouble in the future due to his high status in the Blackstone organization.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing suddenly remembered that he seemed to have deliberately spared someone a moment ago.
I don’t know if she resisted or not. If she didn’t die, I would just ask.
In the fierce fight just now, Xu Xing's kick towards Xiao Yu was actually as strong as possible.
Because he suddenly remembered that Lu Zhu had mentioned this female swordsman to him, saying that this person still had a conscience and might have a chance to change.
Although Xu Xing teased Lu Zhu as a flower monk because of this, when he really met Xiao Yu, he still followed his friend's instructions and tried not to hurt her life.
Of course, if Xiaoyu really failed to survive the blow and died on the spot, there was nothing Xu Xing could do.
After all, when masters compete with each other, he has no choice but to take action at the critical moment.
Fortunately, although Xiao Yu is good at swordsmanship, she also possesses the essence of Wudang Tai Chi.
Between life and death, although she failed to guard against Xu Xing's mandarin duck legs, she used Tai Chi to absorb most of the energy and saved her life.
Xu Xing stepped forward and poked his finger in front of Xiaoyu's nose. He felt that there was still a faint breath and couldn't help but nod.
Sure enough, he's not dead, okay.
When you meet the young monk in the future, give this woman to him as a gift for reunion.
When Xu Xing thought of Lu Zhu's possible reaction, he felt it was extremely amusing and couldn't help but smile, and settled the matter immediately.
Then, Xu Xing came to Lei Bin again, rubbed for a long time, and finally took out a book wet with blood from his lower back, which recorded the essence of "continuous short play".
Xu Xing didn't know that professional killers like Blackstone were not like ordinary boxers. Most of their martial arts were trained by experts within the organization, so they naturally didn't carry secrets.
Among them, Lei Bin is an exception who has become a monk halfway. He also has some thoughts of retiring, so he carries the boxing secret book with him.
Looking at this only harvest, Xu Xing couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, this man didn't hide the book in his chest. If he was hit by his "old bear hitting a tree", I'm afraid the secret book would be shattered on the spot. .
Yes, there is finally something gained.
Xu Xing was not greedy either. He was here to kill people and solve some problems for his uncle. It was an unexpected surprise and a relief to find an account book and a secret book.
After Xu Xing finished searching for the boxing secret books, Shen Yishi and Ma Ningyuan finally came to their senses.
But when Ma Ningyuan faced Xu Xing, he was obviously still a little timid and unwilling to step forward. Shen Yishi took advantage of his offer of incense to Xu Xing and stepped forward without hesitation and asked:
"Tafa, according to your plan, which route among the thirty-six ships will we arrange for today's scene?"
Although Shen Yishi had the ability to arrange this matter, he still wanted to know who Xu Xing originally planned to frame.
Without hesitation, Xu Xing took out a well-wrapped flag flag from his sleeve. It was a large gold-patterned flag with a lifelike and unruly roc embroidered on it.
Shen Yishi took over the flag and felt shaken.
Xu Xing rubbed the cloth, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and said slowly:
"This flag has been silent for many years. Now that the world is in chaos and people are displaced, it is time to see the light of day again."
Shen Yishi turned the flag over and saw five stern and dignified characters engraved on the back with iron paintings and silver hooks.
"Universal justice!"
This is the leading flag of the original "Second Man in the World", the eight-armed Shura Yue crossing the sea!
