Chapter 32 Household Affairs
"This feeling is really strange!"
On the cloud bed, Wu Ming touched the dust-free robe on his hand, feeling that the winter was warm and the summer was cool, which was appropriate and pleasant.
I looked outside again: "Compared with the last time, the time flow rate seems to have changed... is it a routine, or is it a change that I only joined after I joined?"
"But since that's the case, I was originally in the name of submissive cultivation and retreat, and now it's just right to make up for it!"
Wu Ming immediately closed his eyes, and in an instant, a layer of luster came out of his face. The true energy in his body filled his limbs and bones, the acupoints of the body, returned to the original state, and the innate body, and achieved success in an instant.
"After a breakthrough in spirit, it is very simple to follow up with the body... After all, I have been stuck in this threshold for a long time!"
Wu Ming smiled, and a light curtain emerged in the sea of consciousness:
[Reincarnation number: Gengshen Sixty-nine]
【Name: Wu Ming】
[Cultivation: Sixth level of innate physical realm]
【Equipment: Black Gold Ring, Dustless Vessel】
【Title: Apostle of the Lord God】
"Oh... I can't take the black gold ring without it, so I can only bring this one out first..."
Wu Ming looked at the robes on his body, but smiled bitterly on his face: "The intermediate magic weapon requires me sixty small skills. When I get down at one time, one hundred and ten small skills will be gone. If any reincarnation person resells this tax, he will definitely lose a lot of money!"
After thinking about it, I put on a big robe outside and covered Wuchen's robe before I walked out calmly.
"Young Master Ming!"
The two dignified and wise girls with modest behavior immediately saluted, and I don’t know how long they had been waiting.
“When is it now?”
Wu Ming felt the dazzling sunshine and squinted his eyes.
"Since the young master was in seclusion, it has been half a day for one night, and it is still half an hour before noon!"
The maid said in detail, and a confused look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
In their eyes, the young master seemed to have a different look after a night, and his skin became more delicate, just like the most superior porcelain, and his dark eyes were even more unfathomable.
"Well, tell the chef to prepare, I want to have a meal!"
Wu Ming raised his hand.
Under the sunlight, my palms were flawless, fair and delicate, and even some of the original calluses disappeared completely.
Martial arts are innate and return to the original state, which has this effect.
Lunch came soon, with three meats and three vegetables, and a pot of soup. It was all full of color, fragrance and taste. Wu Ming ate big mouthfuls and ate sweetly.
In the past, the playboy had to be dizzy every time, so he naturally would not waste it like this. However, now he is focusing on martial arts and the meal is sufficient, but it is just right.
"Young Master Ming!"
At this time, Butler Wu came in and saw Wu Mingfeng sweeping the clouds, but he didn't seem rude to eat. He felt secretly praised in his heart.
This young master has been much more aware of it since the last incident. Not only did his martial arts talent make coach Feng praise him, but he even made great progress in dealing with people and dealing with others, which made his loyalty increase a little more.
After all, with such a master, there will be hope in the future.
In such an era, families like their families who gave birth to children and served the Wu family for several generations, were originally entangled with the fate of the master family, and they all prospered and lost.
"What happened?"
When Wu Ming saw Butler Wu's expression of anxiety, he felt a little moved.
I have to say that although this person is extremely vicious to the outside world, he is still a good dog. After the last Lynch incident, he was well-raised and went out to do things. He did everything properly and made outstanding contributions in this autumn harvest.
Now that it has become like this, of course it is something.
"There is a lawsuit for death in Qingshi Village, and the main culprit is still the other branch of the Wu family, and there is even more scandal..."
Butler Wu's face turned red and white, and he immediately said.
"What does this have to do with me..."
Wu Ming was stunned halfway through his words, and it really mattered!
This time was the Great Zhou Dynasty. He also found out that his location was a township in Chufeng County, Yunping County. This country has three villages under its jurisdiction. The Wu family is centered on the fort and covers an area of 2,000 acres. It is a real giant.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a inspection department in the county town, which was responsible for thieves, and there were also a township inspection in the township, which was registered as an official.
However, even in Yunping County, the Wu family is quite influential, and they are first-class gentry and local tyrants. According to the unspoken rules, although the inspection in this township is included in the inspection department, it is usually the Wu family sent someone to serve as the one.
I remember that the playboy was heartless. This guy seemed to throw it to Feng Han’s previous martial arts teacher. Then the coach was stabbed by Lynch with a sword. Of course, his family was given various pensions and even rewarded several acres of land. However, the position of township inspection was taken back, and Wu Ming had not yet decided which one to hand it over to.
Now that this happens, the township inspector will naturally come forward.
Not to mention, there are also branches of the Wu family.
In ancient times, Wu Ming was the head of the Wu family at this time. Even if there was something wrong with the clan, he had to open a ancestral hall and deal with it with family rules.
‘In ancient D County, the rule of rural areas was weak, and it was entirely based on clan autonomy. Therefore, we had to pay attention to ‘benevolence and filial piety’, and kill people with etiquette and law…’
When Wu Ming thought of this, he felt cold again.
What does it mean to have two thousand acres of land? The entire Yunping County has only 300,000 mu of land, which accounts for almost one percent.
With this foundation in hand, as long as it is not a particularly severe drought or flood, it is a thousand taels of silver every year, and it is not necessary to worry about managing it, and it is the foundation and lifeline of a family's rise!
The Wu siblings have no close relatives, only a few remote branches. What kind of virtue can they protect this?
At this time, I knocked my head and remembered that the Wu family before was just a small landlord of a hundred acres.
However, after Wu Qing rose and even entered the Taoist temple, he was exempted from taxes. There were many people sending it, which made it possible to reach the current scale of 2,000 acres.
In fact, if it weren't for the new squire, the previous playboy was a bit of a prodigal, and might have been able to reach 3,000 acres!
"I'll go... I didn't expect that Sister Wu Qing is so powerful! It's almost equivalent to a juren's position..."
Wu Ming thought to himself, and said to Butler Wu again: "It just so happens... Are some accounts in Qingshi Village still not settled? Call a few people and let's go and have a look!"
Before, he was hiding for the main temple mission, but now he has completed it successfully, and Wu Ming has nothing to do.
"Abide by the order!"
Butler Wu immediately bowed down and called. Wu Ming looked at his back, but for some reason, a throbbing flashed in his heart.
"I'm a little nervous. Could it be that the warriors are on the whim? Just kidding... What else can I do in the Great Zhou world?"
Having said that, Wu Ming's eyes still became a little quiet: "Come on! Call Master Feng Hanfeng and join me!"
Innate warriors, the true qi in their body condenses and return to the innate after birth. Basically, secular diseases rarely get involved, and they will not feel palpitations for no reason.
When Wu Ming saw the servants coming to report the news, he calmed down and smiled again: "I am really... afraid of death!"
...
"The big thing is done!"
Seeing the seven horses protruding from the fort, the person who had been monitoring outside the fort was his eyes flashing and he secretly released a gray sparrow.
The gray bird was inconspicuous, flapping its wings, passing through the air, and then landed on a person's shoulder.
"Master Qingping, is the Wu family's fruit coming out?"
A person next to him saw the gray furry parked on the Taoist shoulder, but his eyes lit up.
It was the two who had been waiting outside Wujiawu Fort!
"Of course this is the case! I arranged for the man to meet the Wu family before, and he was even more sophisticated. He would never admit his mistake!"
Dao Ren Qingping seemed to emit faint fire from his eyes: "Dashi Yu, the rest will act according to the plan!"
"Okay! I wish Taoist priest success!"
Manager Yu bowed and laughed, and he was very confident in Taoist.
...
"Qingshi Village!"
Wu Ming naturally didn't know about this, so he quickly rushed to Qingshi Village with Butler Wu, Feng Han, and four strong servants.
"Mr. Wu is here!"
As soon as they entered the entrance of the village, several village elders were waiting, their faces full of humility.
It’s not enough to be humble. Half of the village is full of tenants, so how can you be hard?
"Where are the people? I'll go see you!"
Wu Ming got off the horse and left, and came to a tiled house in the east of the village.
The yard is not big, the ground is covered with water-milled blue bricks, the windows are bright, and there is also a small burgundy yard. In the countryside, this is simply a luxury house.
‘The main lineage of the Wu family is now only Wu Qing and Wu Ming… The rest are all remote branches, and the branches are in the ten miles of towns. I heard that at the beginning, there were still dirty things for the sake of the land and acres, so Wu Qing was not welcomed…’
If it were the real core, we would have gone to the fort together long ago.
After all, within a dock, granaries, warehouses, millsmiths, livestock houses, and even doctors are prepared. It is like a small kingdom. What is even more rare is safety, which can be compared with the county town.
But now, besides Wu Ming and Wu Qing, the most common people live in are children, servants, and the most loyal tenants.
"It's just... although it's a remote branch, such a thing will still have some impact on my family's voice..."
Wu Ming frowned and went to the main room to check it out.
"The incident happened there, and I never dared to move!"
A village old man said respectfully, lifting the curtain. Wu Ming took a look and saw the old and young, two corpses were restrained, covered with mats, and a pool of black blood was on the ground.
One of the old men looked familiar. In my memory, this person seemed to be one of his distant uncles. However, he had the idea of passing on a hundred acres of fertile land in the past. Now when he saw it, he felt hatred.
Of course, this is not the time to think about this.
Wu Ming's ears moved, and a faint voice came from outside: "I heard that my father-in-law was rid of ashes and was hit by his son, which immediately became a bloody crime..."
"Ah... what about two lives! I have seen Dong too. His eyes are charming and peach blossoms on his face. It's true that it's a disaster!"
"The family is unfortunate, so I have such a sin... The key is that this boy committed suicide in the end, and he is still somewhat conscience..."
...
No matter what the relationship is, this incident will always have an impact on the Wu family. At this time, Wu Ming's face suddenly sank.
"Not good! Dong is hanging!"
Chapter completed!
