Chapter 7 Chief Zhen [Thanks to the leader of "I am the whitest crow in the world" for the reward! 】
“This Master Zhen really lives in Nancheng.”
The Liang family brothers and sisters are all action groups. After deciding on the plan, they immediately went out to find out the address of the Zhen family. Liang Yue I bought a fruit basket with Liang Peng and went to apologize together.
The land price in Longyuan City is absolutely higher in the north and lower in the south. The land close to the imperial city in the north is very expensive. It is the residence of various bureaucracies and dignitaries. The courtiers generally choose to live there for convenience. Daily office work.
Because there are two cities in the east and west areas, they also have their own wealthy areas.
In contrast, the most lively place in Nancheng is Hongxiufang, where Qinlou and Chu Pavilions gather, but the land price will not be higher just because you live close to the brothel. As a result, the south became the poor area of Longyuan City, the divine capital, where most civilians lived.
No wonder Liang Yue was surprised.
For a sixth-grade official of the Ministry of Industry, not to mention living in a mansion in Beicheng, it would not be difficult to at least have a courtyard on the east and west sides, right? It is really a rare thing to appear in this part of Nancheng.
Zhen's Mansion is not even big in Nancheng. The front looks similar to an ordinary house, with multiple porches that make it a little more grand. Perhaps taking into account the status of the courtier, a plaque with a black background and gold paint was installed. There was a concierge on the side, and inside there was a gray-haired old man taking a nap.
"Mr....Mr.?" Liang Yue stepped forward and called twice. The old man was still groggy, and he shouted again: "Mr.!"
"Ah?" The old porter suddenly woke up and looked at the two brothers blankly, "Is something wrong?"
"We are here to visit Mr. Zhen because of some family matters. Please inform us." Liang Yue said.
"Ah?" The old concierge nodded blankly, "What's your name?"
"My name is Liang Yue, and my younger brother Liang Peng is a classmate of the master, Zhen Xiaohao." Liang Yue replied.
“Huh?” The old concierge raised his ears and asked, “What is Yue Peng?”
Liang Yue raised his voice again, "Liang Yue! And Liang Peng!"
"Ouch..." The old concierge agreed, then turned around and walked into the porch tremblingly.
After a while, he came back step by step and greeted: "The master is waiting for you in the study, come with me."
The brothers followed and walked through a hallway. I found that this porch is actually a bit redundant. The courtyard of Zhen Chang's house is not much larger than the Liang family's small courtyard in Ping'an Alley. At most, the building is more regular, with more green tiles, white bricks, and cornices and columns on the four sides of the house. It looks higher-end, but in the final analysis, there are only four or five houses.
In the middle of the courtyard, a young man with his head wrapped in white cloth was kneeling. He looked seriously injured and was kneeling downcast. When he saw the two brothers coming in, he looked up at Liang Peng, his eyes immediately filled with hatred: "What are you doing here?"
"I apologize." Liang Peng said calmly.
Then he followed the old concierge without looking back to the door of Zhen's study.
"The old man is inside, please come in." The old concierge pointed inside and then left.
The brothers stepped into the study. They saw no one at first sight, but what they saw was a wall - the decoration of the Zhen family's study was also very strange.
Normally, the rooms of large families are open from north to south, with at most a screen in the middle. In the center of this study room, there is actually a thick wall, covered by a hanging bead curtain at the end of one side of the wall.
This wall divides a room into two rooms: an inner and an outer room. The outer room only has some flowers and plants, and the inner room should be the real study. The brothers opened the bead curtain and saw a desk and a bookcase placed in this rather cramped space.
A middle-aged man with a pale appearance and a serious face is sitting behind the desk, reading a letter in his hand, his eyes lost in thought. Hearing the sound of the bead curtain, he pressed the letter paper with a book on the side, then raised his head and looked at the brothers: "It's Liang Peng and brother, right?"
This person is naturally the master of the house, the worker The head of the department is Zhen Changzhi.
"Yes." Liang Yue nodded and said: "Today my brother had some conflicts with the young master in the house. I brought him here specially to apologize."
"What happened in the academy "I asked Xiao Hao about it when he came home," Zhen Changzhi said: "The conflicts were all caused by his many provocations. Although Liang Peng's behavior was a bit impulsive, it was understandable. Both of them have made mistakes, so Xiao Hao should apologize first. I have made him kneel for an hour and plan to have him go to the academy to have a good talk with Liang Peng tomorrow."
"Uncle Zhen, Zhen Xiaohao is just a little naughty. He often plays with his classmates like this on weekdays, and everyone is used to it. When I reflected on it afterwards, I was indeed too impulsive, and I was very upset. I was the one who made the big mistake, and he was still punished. He's injured, you'd better not punish him anymore," Liang Peng said sincerely.
Just savoring it carefully, there seems to be a hint of tea in the words.
Liang Yue secretly gave his brother a thumbs up in his heart.
"I have heard about his naughty deeds in the academy, but I just don't have time to discipline him. It is also a good thing for him to be punished this time. Liang Pengqian does not have to blame himself." Zhen Changzhi He said in a gentle tone: "I have heard that you have always been the top student in the academy. Concentrate on your studies and get the honors in the future. I promise you that Xiaohao will never affect your studies again in the future."
< br>"Master Zhen is too kind. My brother will definitely get along well with Zhen Xiaohao in the future, and this kind of thing will never happen again." Seeing that the other party had such a good attitude, Liang Yue also said with a smile.
"Oh, that's the best. It's best if he can learn from Liang Peng's desire to learn." Zhen Changzhi smiled, and then said: "I still have some official duties to finish today. Since this matter has been revealed, I will get busy first. It's my own business."
"Okay, don't bother Mr. Zhen." Liang Yue responded, putting down the fruit basket in his hand, "I brought some fruit to Mr. Zhen. It's not worth much, just to show my sincerity. "This is absolutely unacceptable." Zhen Changzhi's face suddenly dropped, "I have been an official for twenty years and have never received a single gift from anyone, nor have I received any favors from anyone. If you want to give me a gift, you are destroying me." "The reputation is clear."
Liang Yue quickly picked up the fruit basket and said: "It is really a blessing for the Yin Dynasty to have such an upright official as Lord Zhen. Then our brothers will do the same." I'll say goodbye first."
When the brothers left, Zhen Xiaohao was still kneeling facing the door of the study. When he saw Liang Peng coming out, he cursed in a low voice: "You don't have anything for me now! Are you happy?”
Liang Pengyun walked away calmly, and when he turned around, he lightly said: "Congratulations."
Today's things went smoothly unexpectedly. After leaving the gate of Zhen Mansion, Liang Yue said with emotion : "No wonder Chief Zhen has a good official reputation and is really kind and reasonable. How could such a father give birth to such a son?"
Liang Peng shook his head, also expressing confusion.
......
When the two brothers returned home, it was completely late. Liang Peng returned to his room, while Liang Yue stayed in the courtyard to practice boxing.
It was still the Tiger Mighty Fist. When the posture was unfolded, the energy and blood were immediately steaming and as sharp as thunder. It was much louder than the previous two days. This kind of entry is also due to the pill given by Wen Yifan.
At that time, the Nine Martingale spies were accidentally uncovered, and all three of the Royal Guards were injured. Liang Yue was the least injured, with only a bruised leg bone and no internal injuries.
But Miss Wen from the Zhuxie Yamen still gave three pills.
She gave it out casually, saying it was for stabilizing qi and blood and for healing injuries, and Liang Yue believed it.
As a result, Chen Ju tasted it after eating it. It was a very precious Xuanmen Deer Blood Pill. Among the elixirs for replenishing qi and blood, it is absolutely the best. The Xuanmen Alchemy Cauldron lineage is not too rare to practice this kind of small elixir. The output is not large and the circulation in the market is even less. Many wealthy families only ask for a few pills when their children reach the second realm.
Stabilizing Qi and blood is its least valuable effect.
After the three of them took it, they all felt that their qi and blood were gradually filling up, and they were being strengthened in a surge!
Liang Yue now used the Tiger Fist again, and he could already feel the shadow of a roaring tiger beginning to appear in his mind, and his whole person became more and more like a beast king.
This means that his energy and blood are at their peak, reaching the divine palace, and he can feel the charm of martial arts while roaring, and the previous bottleneck has disappeared.
There is only a thin membrane.
It is possible to break through at any time and step into the second level of martial arts visualization!
After reaching the visualization state, you can practice various powerful martial arts techniques through visualizing the charm, which is no longer limited to boxing and kicking. For martial artists, the first level is just to polish the foundation, and the second level is the real introduction and entry into the world of martial arts.
Whether it is martial arts, a practitioner of the three religions, or a mysterious mystic master in legends, all kinds of practice are divided into three major realms - the layer realm, the master realm, and the fairy realm.
The first layer of the realm is divided into seven smaller realms.
Every time you break through a small realm, it is equivalent to climbing a floor. The seven floors of martial arts are enough to trap most martial artists for their entire lives.
Among them, the first level of qi and blood realm can still be seen through hard work, and it is possible to break through it over time. When you reach the second level of visualization, you begin to look at the ethereal understanding.
Without enlightenment, it is common to imagine that nothing will be accomplished in one life.
Liang Yue was practicing boxing hard when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle from the sky not far away, followed by a sharp light that shot straight into the sky.
"Something happened?" He stopped immediately.
This is the imperial guard's exclusive whistle arrow, used to summon troops. One sentry arrow means that the Imperial Guards stationed in our headquarters must go to assemble immediately regardless of whether they are on duty or not; two sentry arrows fired continuously means that the Nancheng Imperial Guards must immediately go to support; if three sentry arrows are fired in succession, then the entire city's Imperial Guards must go immediately to support. All the guards will set off immediately.
Although there is only one whistle arrow this time, it is quite rare in Fukangfang.
Liang Yue immediately put on his official clothes and carried his sword, hurried out of Ping'an Alley and rushed towards the location where the sentry arrow was sent. When he arrived, he saw Chen Ju waiting for people at the street corner.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Something big happened..." Chen Ju pointed to the house behind him, "Zhen Changzhi, the director of the Ministry of Industry, died in his own home!"
"What?!"
Thank you, Teacher Crow, for becoming the sixth leader of a powerful faction in this book. Thank you very much.
