Bai Su looked at the laughing people with a blank expression.
She murmured, "Master Shen... is there really such a sister who is not out of the fifth degree of mourning suffering in He Yin? Or is it..."
Shen Tang coughed twice and cleared his throat.
He said shamelessly: "Well, when necessary, you can have such a 'sister'. You have to be flexible."
Bai Su: “…”
It’s not that she didn’t understand, but she didn’t expect that Master Shen could create a sister out of nothing so naturally and casually. Was his purpose just to “frame her”
No, no, no—
How can what Lord Shen did be called "frame-up"
This is clearly acting in the name of justice!
With Lord Shen's kindness, if he could really eradicate those ruthless rich people and unfair officials, it would be like "escaping death" for tens of thousands of people in Heyin, and they could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Using extraordinary means in extraordinary times, this is extraordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary!
Bai Su convinced herself in this way.
She said calmly, "Master Shen is right. If I don't take revenge, how can I stand tall in the world in the future? I wonder where Master Shen's 'sister' has ended up? Who killed her? I might be able to give you some advice."
Shen Tang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.
Compared to those who are smart but often act smart, Shen Tang prefers to deal with smart people who know the current situation, because communication is less laborious and there is no need to worry about tacit understanding. Bai Su's answer made her feel comfortable, and she smiled and asked: "My sister must have died in a prestigious but less powerful family. The family is not so complicated, but they have done a lot of evil..."
Bai Su then asked, "How is the evil master's family?"
Shen Tang: "This man is greedy, violent, lustful, treats the people like grass, and has a lot of wealth at home... The more anger he can cause, the better. Lady White, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Bai Su pondered for a moment.
Try to find the right person in your mind.
She had a clear mind.
They knew that the target chosen by Shen Tang must be the "chicken" that was killed first when Shen Langzhu entered He Yin, to serve as a warning to the monkeys. If those monkeys were not afraid but jumped up and down to make trouble, they could also change from "monkeys" to "chickens"...
You have to choose this "chicken" carefully.
They cannot be too strong, but their reputation must be either too great or too bad - and their downfall must be such that tens of thousands of people in Ha Yin applaud and cheer for them!
To be honest, there are quite a few suitable candidates.
Looking at this young young master, Bai Su had countless complicated thoughts flashing through her mind.
To be fair, what He Yin did was enough to expel him from the human race! Bai Su could also use this opportunity to push her enemies out and use Shen Tang to eliminate her old enemies. She could have done so, but -
I can't harm Master Shen for my own selfish desires!
Revenge can be taken at any time, but if I harm Lord Shen for my own selfish desires and ruin his plan, wouldn't I be a villain who repays kindness with enmity? Bai Su's thoughts turned, and she put her enemies aside for the time being, saying, "He Yin Zhang is quite suitable."
"Zhang family? The family that adopted the daughter?"
Bai Su nodded and said, "Yes! In order to seize the good farmland of the people and use it as his own sacrificial land, the head of the Zhang family secretly found a lot of ruffians and used despicable means, such as beating and poisoning, setting up traps and selling, which caused dozens of families to be destroyed... The brother of the head of the Zhang family is even worse. He likes children. Two years ago, there was a sudden epidemic in a village under the jurisdiction of He Yin. The brother of the Zhang family sent his servants to deceive the suffering people, saying that he had a good medicine to cure the disease, but the medicine was hard to obtain and needed the cooperation of children in the people's families to exchange it. In this way, he killed more than 20 people..."
For more than a month, every night in the middle of the night, one could hear the painful cries for help from children in this man's house. The servants and maids shuddered at the sound, but no one dared to stop them.
Who dares to stop it
No one was killed.
So what if someone died
They are just a few guys digging for food in the mud.
I sued the officials, but they didn't do anything.
I tried, but it didn't work.
Why didn't it work? Because the younger brother of the Zhang family's patriarch did give him a dose of medicine!
Why did they still die after drinking the medicine? Because the people who drank the medicine were common people, with lowly blood and dirty bodies, and they were not worthy!
That dose of medicine was effective. Didn't you see that a member of the Zhang family also had similar symptoms, and he developed a fever after taking a dose of medicine, but he was full of energy the next day? So, the responsibility lies with the common people themselves, not the brother of the head of the Zhang family.
The lawsuit is not established!
What's even more outrageous is that the younger brother of the Zhang family patriarch turned around and sued the commoner, saying that he had slandered his reputation and that according to the law, his tongue should be cut off!
To put it bluntly, it means cutting off someone's tongue.
Poor woman who sued Zhang's master's brother, she went to seek medicine to save her sick husband, but her daughter was raped - the daughter was sent back with a high fever for two days, pus and foul smell in her lower body, bleeding continuously, and died on the third day - as a result, her daughter died before her husband, and she herself was tortured by having her tongue cut off. Of course, if the woman had money and food at home, it could be used to offset the punishment.
But as soon as her husband died, his brothers came with the elders of the clan and forcibly occupied several acres of good land, claiming that their sons were young and they were afraid that the woman would remarry and take away her nephew's wealth. How could the woman have extra money and food to offset the torture of cutting off her tongue
Once this matter is exposed, how can other victims of deception dare to stand up and seek justice for themselves and their children
Their tongues are fine, but it's the same as if they had had their tongues cut off.
Bai Su could talk about things like this for a long time.
Even Qi Shan and the others couldn't help but frown in disgust.
The more Shen Tang listened, the colder his expression became.
Qi Shan and the others were all scholars with a keen sense of the air in the surrounding heaven and earth. They clearly felt that the cold murderous intent emitted by Shen Tang affected the air in the surrounding heaven and earth, and the temperature around them also dropped slightly. She asked, "Is the brother of the Zhang family master still alive?"
Bai Su sighed and said, "This person is living a good life."
When she went to Zhang's place to check out the business, she also worked for a few days at the home of Zhang's master's brother, disguised as a housekeeper, and saw the man up close. He was fat, with big ears, a lot of fat on his face, and fierce eyes and eyebrows, just like a wild boar that had turned into a spirit.
Shen Tang's expression did not change, but his right hand on his knee clenched tightly: "Has this person committed any other evil deeds?"
Bai Su was slightly startled and hesitated for a moment.
Shen Tang said: "Can't tell?"
Bai Su shook her head and replied, "It's not that I can't tell you, I'm just afraid that telling you would pollute Master Shen's ears..."
Shen Tang suppressed his anger.
He said bluntly: "It's okay, I can handle it."
Shen Tang can be considered "well-informed". What storms and waves has she not experienced? No matter how disgusting Bai Su's words are, she can keep calm. But she never expected that some people's behavior can trample on the bottom line without limit.
"This person has a collection of 'Three Beauties' in his house, and he often shows off to others." She carefully observed the expressions of Shen Tang and the others, and seeing that they had no reaction, she continued, "One is the Beauty Pot, the second is the Beauty Bowl, and the third is the Beauty Paper..."
Shen Tang was prepared to be disgusted, but when he heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it...
Qi Shan, Gu Chi and Chu Yao's expressions changed.
Only Kang Shi had a relatively simple environment before, and had not been exposed to so many dirty things, so he asked: "What do you think of this?"
Qi Shan and the other two glanced at him.
You are the only one who has so many problems!
Shen Tang asked suspiciously: "Then?"
Bai Su said: "The beauty pot is a container for urinating and defecating, the beauty bowl is a container for clearing phlegm, and the beauty paper is a container for wiping away filth."
Shen Tang: “???”
Shen Tang: “!!!”
A container for urination.
A device for clearing phlegm and spitting.
A tool for wiping away filth and feces.
Bai Su was also shocked for a long time when she heard it for the first time.
Such an extravagant and lustful "way of enjoyment" was beyond her imagination, and she could not imagine that there were such disgusting people in the world. When the brother of the Zhang family's patriarch felt itchy in his throat and wanted to spit, the "beauty bowl" opened its mouth to receive it. When he wanted to urinate, the beauty pot undressed him. When he defecated, he did not use the expensive and soft silk toilet paper, but let the beauty paper mouth lick it clean with her tongue.
In order to show off, the younger brother of the Zhang family head spent a lot of money to buy several sets of "beauty three-piece suits" and used them as gifts to entertain people.
This matter is also widely known in Heyin.
Shen Tang's face was already too pale to be looked at, he gnashed his teeth and said, "I will chop this insect into pieces with my own hands and feed it to the pigs! No, I will chop off his legs first, shave off the bones and flesh, feed the meat to the pigs, burn the bones to ashes and mix them with rice to stuff into his mouth! Fuck - this abominable bastard will never be cruel enough no matter how I kill him!" Bai Su shivered in fear due to the sudden drop in temperature.
Chu Yao said, "My lord, please calm down."
When Shen Tang heard the name, he managed to regain some sanity.
She took a dozen deep breaths before suppressing her eager Danfu Wenxin. She said, "Okay! Let's choose Zhang! Calculating the time, it's almost the New Year, so it's just right to kill him and offer sacrifice to the ancestors!"
Perhaps because of her high favorability, Bai Su did not doubt Shen Tang's words. The difference was when to do it - before the New Year or after the New Year? Talking helped to vent the accumulated emotions. After saying these words, she felt much better.
"Master Shen, there is no need to get angry over such a villain."
Shen Tang's face still looked ugly.
At this time, the news about Li Li came through, barely diluting the depressing atmosphere—Zhao Feng and Gong Shuwu walked in front, and Li Li followed behind with big strides, the corners of his mouth raised so high that they almost reached his ears. Shen Tang barely pulled himself together.
Asked: "Is there any happy event?"
Gong Shuwu keenly noticed that the atmosphere here was a bit heavy.
Shen Tang asked again: "Is it related to Li Li?"
Gong Shuwu smiled and eased the atmosphere.
"Indeed, my lord, you are as good as a god."
Shen Tang barely raised the corners of his mouth.
Didn’t Gong Shuwu think his “compliment” was too stiff
She felt embarrassed for the other person.
Shen Tang turned his gaze to Li Li, who looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He frowned and thought for a while before roughly guessing the truth - the only thing that could make Li Li smile and make Gong Shuwu bring people over in person was that one thing.
Because Zhao Feng, an outsider, was still around, some things couldn't be said too much, so Shen Tang chose to take the initiative and asked Li Li with a faint smile: "Is that Qi-absorbing method really effective?"
Li Li was puzzled.
The method of absorbing qi
What is the Qi-absorbing method
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gong Shuwu bowing and saying, "Li Li has been practicing hard day and night, and with his excellent physique, he finally lived up to the lord's high expectations. Although it is still very weak, it is indeed 'martial energy'. Li Li, why are you still standing there?"
Li Li came to his senses after being scolded by Gong Shuwu.
Although I don't understand the meaning, I don't act rashly.
He immediately clasped his fists to express his gratitude and loyalty.
Zhao Feng heard this and asked, "What is the method of absorbing qi?"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "It's a secret method passed down from our ancestors. It's said that it can give older people with a certain amount of talent a second chance to absorb Qi into their bodies. I thought it was just a trick to fool children, but I didn't expect Li Li to actually succeed. I guess the reason why the predecessors failed was because they didn't have enough talent..."
After saying that, Shen Tang sighed half-truthfully.
Zhao Feng was overwhelmed with information in such a short time that he almost didn't react. He looked at Li Li in great surprise, and after a while he said, "Did Li Li really have no martial energy before???"
Gong Shuwu was not lying to him
Shen Tang asked: "General Zhao doesn't know?"
Zhao Feng replied: "I really don't know."
When resting in place before, Li Li had gotten itchy hands and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a dozen of his own men, beating them so hard that their faces were bruised and swollen and they were crying and screaming.
He doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.
As for not feeling the martial energy around him
When a Wudan warrior improves to a certain level, he can perfectly restrain his martial energy. As long as he doesn't take action, you can't tell whether he is a Wudan warrior or not. Seeing that Li Li has such a high talent, Zhao Feng thought he was also a natural general like Gong Xichou.
So I didn't doubt it.
Who knows—
It turned out that Lili was an ordinary person before
You're already old enough to cultivate the first bit of martial energy
Only Zhao Feng and Gu Chi knew the shock in his heart, but he completely gave up the idea of poaching - no matter how talented Li Li was, he had missed the golden period of cultivation. His bones and meridians had begun to stiffen, and he was no longer as flexible and shapeable as when he was young. This meant that his future achievements would not be too high, at least not as great as Gong Xichou!
In comparison, he was more interested in the "Qi-intake Method" - there were many talented people in the world who missed the opportunity to enter the Dao through martial arts due to poverty. Even if their ceiling was not high, as long as they successfully condensed their martial courage, they would be far better than ordinary people.
As long as Lord Shen spreads this news—
I don’t know how many people are willing to follow.
Zhao Feng became alert.
If this is the case, it won't be long before Master Shen grows to the point where he threatens his master and becomes a serious concern!
But his expression remained normal, and there was no sign of anything wrong.
Zhao Feng said with emotion: "There is such a secret method in the world. I am ignorant of it. With my natural talent, diligent study and hard practice, and with Brother Banbu's guidance, I believe that within two years, I will have some success!"
After that, he tried to probe again: "But, there is one thing I don't understand. Master Shen has few people under his command, which is not conducive to his becoming the governor of Heyin. Why don't you use this method as a lure to recruit soldiers for your own use?"
Shen Tang pointed his lips in the direction of Li Li and said jokingly with a smile: "How could I not want to? It took me so many years to succeed in learning Li Li. If he hadn't begged me so hard, I wouldn't have agreed to let him waste his time on that secret technique."
Only then did Zhao Feng remember what Shen Tang had said before.
The threshold for this secret technique is very high.
It's of no use to ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a false alarm!
After chatting for a while, Zhao Feng went down to take care of other things.
Shen Tang stood on tiptoe and patted Li Li's shoulder, teasing the still confused Li Li: "After you go back, don't neglect the practice of the 'Intake Qi Method'. If you don't understand something in the practice, you can ask Banbu or Yang Duwei for advice. Remember to be sincere. You started too late. If you want to catch up, you need to work harder. Do you understand?"
Li Li clasped his fists and said, "I will remember the Lord's teachings."
