Conquer the World

Chapter 606 Visiting the Old Bank

Subei

Daxingcheng

As the Taoist ruler on the northernmost side south of the Yangtze River, Daxing City's current geographical location is particularly noticeable.Once the great Sui soldier general Pang Ba raised the banner of the Qingjun side in Jiangnan, he used Daxing City as the foundation for a long time. When Pang Ba's army crossed Hebei, he also used Daxing City as the starting point.

Daxing City has a history of at least 500 years. As the first major town in the south of the Yangtze River after the Emperor Taizong Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty laid down his command, there has never been a lack of attention here.At the time, Li Xiao chose this place as the place to attack Nan Chen because the strategic position here was extremely important.

It can be regarded as an important hub in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

The most famous one in Daxing City is Meiyuan.

The emperors of the great Sui Dynasty went to Jiangnan, and this is the one stop they must take.

As one of Jiangnan's seven famous gardens, it once hosted five emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the owner of this Meiyuan, Daxing Jinjia, can naturally imagine its status.Speaking of this, the people have forgotten how many years the Jin family has been masters in Daxing City. No matter which dynasty and family ruled the Central Plains, the Daxing City has always been the family of the Jin family.Even if this is the seat of the governor of New South County, there is a master of the county guard, even if this is the seat of the governor of North Jiangsu, there is an adult of the Governor.But no matter which adult is, as long as he is still in Daxing City, he always visits Meiyuan first.

Governor of North Jiangsu Province, Zhou Huaien, is a frequent visitor to Meiyuan. People in Daxing City often see the Governor ’s carriage parked outside Meiyuan.

As one of the 24 governors of the Great Sui Dynasty, a veritable official in the Fengjiang, Zhou Huaien ’s actions in Daxing City are inseparable from the support of the Jin family. If his decision conflicts with the Jin family, he I will never do it alone, but will do it according to the Jin family's wishes.

It is for this reason that Zhou Huaien's Governor has done exceptionally well.The Department of the Great Sui Dynasty sends people to inspect the government every year, and the officials of the department will secretly visit various places and listen to the people.Then, it synthesizes the performance documents written by the local officials themselves, and comprehensively assesses whether the local officials are qualified.

Among the 24 governors, Zhou Huaien ranked the top among the officials of the year.

Speaking of which, he does not have any outstanding achievements, but his victory is stable.During his tenure, Subei Road has been steady and has never had anything to worry the court.Because it is close to the Yangtze River, there are naturally many floods, but he never reached out to Hube to cross the embankment with one or two silvers, but none of the things he should do.

So even if he finally chose to stand on the side of the rebels, the local people did not scold him much.After all, for many years, Zhou Huaien has really done a lot for North Jiangsu.

Since Meiyuan can be called one of the seven famous gardens in Jiangnan, it is naturally commendable.This garden can be called a model work of Jiangnan gardens, and it is full of beauty but does not look like a family.

Every time Zhou Huaien comes to Meiyuan, he will find different beauty in it.

Sitting in the gazebo by the lotus pond, he tasted a pot of tongue that could be enough for a middle-class family to spend a year in life. He looked at the koi in the lotus pond a little lost.Jin Shixun, the eldest son of the Jin family, who is currently currently in charge of the affairs of the Jin family, glanced at him and smiled and said, "What do you wish the Governor-General has today?"

Jin Shixun

If Fang Jie heard the name, the first time he would think of the general Jin Shixiong, who is now working hard in the northwest of the Great Sui.In fact, Jin Shixiong did come from the Jin family of Daxingcheng, and is the third brother of Jin Shixiong.

Jin Shixiong is already in his fifties, Jin Shixun is the eldest son and is already sixty-two.

It's a pity that this family is not his final decision.He has been waiting for this day for many years, but he has a healthy and long-lived old lady, and she is also an old lady with an absolute desire for power.But even so, no one dared to underestimate the uncle Jin.

"Is there any news from Sanye?"

Zhou Huaien asked.

Jin Shixun shook his head: "The youngest man's situation in the northwest is very hard. Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu controlled the waterway, and Luo Yao's people stopped in the middle, even if I wanted to help him. Bring the team up by ourselves, if we can ... we will not be so concerned about Yang Zhi, who has been imprisoned in the Northeast for more than ten years, let alone take a Pangba. "

"If it doesn't work, let Sanye come back. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwest are not worth his energy. With his ability to lead soldiers, he won't worry about the future."

"Look again, you also know that the stubborn temper of the third son, the nine cows will not be able to come back if they are correct."

"correct"

Zhou Huaien asked: "Why haven't you seen the old lady for a while?"

"she was?"

Jin Shixun shook his head: "I don't understand the matter of cultivation, and my mother has handed over most of the things to me over the years. Almost all the time is closed, and I was very happy when I came out a few days ago, saying that it has improved again. I do n’t know much about this in a realm, so I do n’t have much to ask. But the higher the cultivation level of my mother, the more stable the status of the Jin family in the Tonggu Academy. The reason why Dong Qingfu always gave me the Jin family Very respectful, not because the cultivation of the mother is strong enough. "

Zhou Huaien nodded: "The old lady walked out a few years ago. It is said that in the Tonggu Academy, he taught a few young people who did not know the sky and the earth. This courage and courage, we have never been able to keep up. According to my speculation, the old lady ’s repair Even if it ’s not as good as the legendary 10,000 stars, I ’m afraid it wo n’t be much worse. ”

"Ten thousand stars ..."

Jin Shixun pouted: "His time is long gone."

He just froze for a moment after he finished speaking.

"Who is that?"

Zhou Huaien looked into his eyes and found that not far away there was a hunched old man with a hunched body walking slowly, carrying a package and carrying a long sword.

"Not from Meiyuan!"

Jin Shixun angered slightly: "Those servants are more and more slack, and everyone is going to the garden!"

He had just got up and instructed people to drive the old man away, and suddenly he was in a trance, and the old man came to him without knowing what happened.Shi Shiran took the teapot on the table and took a sip, then applauded in his eyes.This old man, who looked like the same old plum tree, squinted at him and said lightly: "Wan Xingchen has never lived in any age, but if he wants to have one, it is not difficult."

Jin Shixun was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious. He pointed to the old man who had just ordered the next man to take it down, and suddenly found that he didn't know when there was an extra thing in his hand.

He glanced down, and then screamed, he was stunned.

A human head fell from his hand to the ground and rolled into the lotus pool with a thump.

"Old ... Old lady ..."

Zhou Huaien fell down in fright, and when he looked at it, there was still the figure of the old man, as if he had never appeared.

At this moment, a three-story wooden building behind Meiyuan suddenly fell in half, and the broken marks were so straight that the three-story building was cut in half like someone was cutting tofu.The old woman's body was headless in the half of the building that had not fallen.

...

...

Liuzhou

There is a small courtyard on the far west side of the city, which looks no different from the houses next to it.It's just that the owner in this courtyard has always been mysterious, and the neighbors have never seen him come out.Every day, only the servants of the family go out to buy food, and they rarely talk to their neighbors.

The little girl in the neighbor's house was born, and the man who had just become a father was overjoyed. He wanted to ask the neighbor to drink and knock on the door of the small yard. Only a servant came out and asked what happened. Turning in, it didn't take long for him to take a piece of silver and pass it to him to say that the head of the family was unwell. This silver should be a gift.

Fifteen years later, the day the little girl got married, the man with a lot of wrinkles on his face thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to invite the neighbor. Fifteen years ago, he received so many silver gifts, but he did n’t even have a glass of wedding wine To make up, it was not that he did not want it, but that the owner had always refused.So he went to knock on the door again, and found out that he did n’t know when the servant changed. After he explained the intention, the servant went back, and in a short time he returned with a piece of silver to say, there is a happy event in your house, and my host is very happy. Congratulations.

Twenty years later, when this man died, his wife asked his son-in-law to help the neighborhood.The son-in-law knocked on the door of the neighbor's house, and a servant with a face asked what was going on. He explained his intention in the future. Nine-year-old neighbor said to leave, this silver is the mind of the owner.

Ten years later, the woman with two temples leading the family farewell from house to house.After her parents died, she moved to live with her husband. Now that her sons are all married, she works as a copywriter in the county government office. She plans to take their family to the county government. She also misses her son, so she decides to move.When knocking on the door next door, a little book boy asked what happened, she explained the intention, the little book boy went in and came back, handing a heavy purse.

It was at this time that she remembered that she had not seen the housekeeper who was spoken by the people next door since she had memory.I don't know what kind of person it is.Now she is old, but the head of the house has never appeared in her sight.

Only then did she understand something in a trance, three words emerged from her mind.

Practitioner

Yeah, if it ’s not a practitioner, how could such a strange habit?How can you live this long?So she gave a deep salute at the door, murmured that there was a fairy by her side, and then left in awe.

Later, her family was killed bizarrely on the way to the county.If she didn't whisper to herself, she might still be able to enjoy her old age in the county.Or maybe her father shouldn't knock on the courtyard door from the beginning.She didn't even know that the old neighborhood nearby had moved away for various reasons, and then all died halfway.Therefore, the newly moved people do not even know who lives in that small courtyard.

The two little book boys walked and talked in a low voice.Today is the first day for the two of them to come to this yard to serve the head of the house. The former servants are too old, so they changed them.The two of them were selected from the more than 300 servants of the Chen family in Haining. They were smart enough.The old man who lived in this yard seemed to like the little book boy who was particularly eye-catching.

The two of them didn't know what the identity of the tall and tall old man was. They only knew that the owner of the Chen family brought them both last night and explained many things on the way.

A little book boy pushed the door open and opened the curtain for his companion.Another little book boy walked in carrying a tray with a bowl of rice porridge and a few delicate dishes.When the two of them went in, they first leaned over to salute, and after getting up straight, they were startled.

In the house, I don't know when there was an old man with a hunchback, just sitting opposite the owner.

"You have repaired cicadas to treat this room like a cave, it has shrunk for seven or eighty years ... but you are always in the cave but your heart is not there, so you can't take that step in the end."

The old hump-back man reached out and brought the rice porridge on the tray, and then finished the rice porridge with a small dish.

The tall old man looked at him and then asked seriously: "Why are you coming out?"

The humpback old man wiped the grains of rice sticking to his beard: "I'm going to die. I pulled a few old friends down to drink tea."

The senior man was silent for a while and said: "You really don't make sense, we haven't done anything for so many years, just don't want you to come out, but you still came out in the end. This rule was originally set by you, and it is above the upper limit of the state People are not allowed to participate, but you are now breaking this rule. "

The old humpback pouted: "I was the one who beat you, and you followed the rules I said. This rule was originally set by an unreasonable person, who has a fist and who is reasonable Did n’t understand? In addition ... One of the three Zhang Yiyang killed was a clear and upright, you really should n’t try me like this. "

After saying this, the humpback old man got up, picked up the package and picked up the ancient sword, and walked out of the house. The two little schoolboys looked at each other, not knowing what happened.After pondering for a few seconds, the old man suddenly gave birth to a pair of transparent cicada wings, and flew into the sky.A few seconds later, he became two bodies and he fell from the high clouds and smashed two deep pits on the ground.

Finally, he moved into the cave.It's a pity ... it's separation.

The humpback old man carrying the ancient sword trembled and continued to move forward, but disappeared instantly.

"So tired ..."

He sighed somewhat helplessly: "I don't know how many doors can come, and see some old people."
