Chapter 44: Upside Down

From the founding of the Chu Kingdom to today, it has been extremely bumpy, and it is only now that it is slightly stable.

But the situation cannot be said to be very good.

There are strange monsters inside, and there are those who have gone astray.

There are Da Yue and the barbarians on the border outside, and if you are not careful, there will be worries about the overthrow of the country.

The emperor of the Chu Kingdom is a man of great talent and strategy, with strategy and courage.

All the military generals are guarding the border.

The literati stabilized the internal affairs and barely achieved a balance between the inside and the outside.

What is more courageous is the establishment of the Tianjian Division, using the strategy of using the people of the world to manage the people of the world.

With the operation of the three parties, the Chu Kingdom is moving in a good direction.

But there is one word that cannot be separated from this - money.

Does it cost money to maintain the army?

Does it cost money to pay for the salary?

Does it cost money to build various facilities?

It all costs money, and a lot of money.

But the emperor also understands that he cannot raise the tax standard because of money, otherwise the internal troubles will be even greater.

What if there is no money?

Do business!

Do business as hard as you can!

But as a member of the royal family, doing business is a loss of face.

At this time, the Ninth Princess came into being.

On the surface, the Ninth Princess was a person who was not favored by the royal family.

But secretly, the Ninth Princess's business involved a wide range of things, and made a lot of money for the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom.

And the royal family also had something to say.

She was already out of power, so she could do whatever she wanted, anyway, it was not us who asked her to do it.

I have to say that this was a great move.

All officials who had a little vision understood the meaning.

Therefore, the Ninth Princess must not be offended, and County Magistrate Zhang knew it very well.

If the Lin Mansion had not given him a lot of money, he would have ignored it long ago.

Now let him offend the Ninth Princess, isn't this asking for trouble?

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor said that if it was against the law, he could be arrested, but this was not against the law.

There was no other way. If she was arrested, the royal family's financial resources would be cut off. He knew what would happen if the financial resources were cut off.

"I'll find a reason to release the courtesan later, and this matter will end here." Magistrate Zhang thought, and left the Lin Mansion quickly.

...

The sudden death of the young master of the Lin Mansion was widely spread in Sheng County.

After hearing the news, some people who had been oppressed applauded and ran back and forth in the streets and alleys, passing the festive news to people they knew.

Coupled with Xiaoyue's previous incident, the people felt happy in their hearts, and they felt that the blockage in their chests was relieved.

At this time, in the Fulong Escort Agency, Xu Bai was sitting on a small stool as usual, looking at the locust tree in front of him.

The golden progress bar was very close to completion. He estimated that he would succeed tonight, so he did not leave the backyard at all.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, have you heard the news?"

In the front yard, Liu Er kept waving.

Until now, the escorts still dare not set foot in the backyard, after all, this locust tree is too strange.

Xu Bai heard the sound, stood up from the small stool, walked to the front yard, and asked what happened.

"The young master of the Lin family died suddenly, and died in a woman's belly. I am so happy." Liu Er waved excitedly.

He thought that Xu Bai had not gone out all day today and might not hear the news, so he brought the news by the way, and just took this opportunity to chat more and get closer.

He, Liu Er, was specifically trying to curry favor with Master Xu.

"What did Magistrate Zhang say?" Xu Bai pretended to be surprised and asked.

"The Lin family asked to deal with the courtesan, but Magistrate Zhang drove the person out and took the courtesan away. The butcher next to him had a relative who worked there. Later, he heard from the old housekeeper that Magistrate Zhang was unwilling to deal with the courtesan." Liu Er said.

Unwilling?

Xu Bai touched his chin.

This situation was beyond his expectation.

However... there seems to be room for maneuver here.

"Okay, I got it. Tell the brothers to practice as soon as possible. If there is a dart, the skills will not be rusty by then." Xu Bai said, pretending to be indifferent.

Liu Er is a wise man. Knowing that Xu Bai doesn't want to talk anymore, he didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye and left.

After Liu Er left, Xu Bai returned to the small stool and sat in the backyard staring at the locust tree.

While staring, he fell into deep thought.

To be honest, County Magistrate Zhang is not a good guy.

He is also involved in Xiaoyue's affairs.

Xu Bai has wanted to deal with him for a long time, but this is different from dealing with Lin Fenghua. This is an official appointed by the court, and he is also a scholar.

If he really deals with him directly, it will be a lot of trouble.

But think about it carefully. What Liu Er said just now seems that County Magistrate Zhang doesn't care about the Lin Mansion.

If he doesn't care about the Lin Mansion, there is room for maneuver here.

As for how to operate, there is no rush now.

The progress bar of the locust tree is about to be filled up. Let's wait until it is full. County Magistrate Zhang is promoted to a higher position, and he can't escape.

The most important thing at the moment is the progress bar.

"It will be done in the evening. I have wasted so much effort and I don't know what it is." Xu Bai thought.

Time slipped away, the sun set, and night fell.

All the escorts left the escort agency and returned to their homes, except Xu Bai, who was still in the backyard, sitting on his unique little stool.

To be honest, this little stool was very comfortable to sit on, not at all uncomfortable.

The only drawback was that the legs would get numb after sitting for a long time.

The sound of the night watchman sounded in the street not far away, and the night watchman began his daily routine every night.

In the dark night, only the sound of the night watchman could bring warmth.

It was a little cold at night, and Xu Bai put on a coat, still staring at the locust tree.

The progress bar grew slowly, and finally, when the last bit of the progress bar was full, light blue words appeared in front of him.

[You observe the locust tree in the backyard and comprehend the inverted yin and yang. ]

The words appeared, and Xu Bai's expression did not change.

He had been working so hard for a long time that he was numb.

After the light blue words appeared, they did not last long, and turned into smoke in an instant.

After a while, new words appeared.

[Detected fusion options, fusion in progress. ]

[Four Directions Slaughter Heart Method + Reversing Yin and Yang = Reversing Chaos in Four Directions. ]

[Fusion Successful! ]

As the last line of text appeared, it disappeared, and a huge amount of information was integrated.

As a huge amount of information was integrated, Xu Bai found that the golden airflow in his body also changed.

The color was still light gold, without any abnormality, but it seemed that there was something more.

Xu Bai tasted it a little and understood the reason.

Shen Yuan!

This is the Shen Yuan unique to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism!

Reversing Yin and Yang is not only a mental method, but also a mental method of Shen Yuan!

When he named the True Yuan Force before, it was taken from Zhen Qi, Shen Yuan, and Jing Shi. Now it is finally worthy of the name and completely in line with the name of the True Yuan Force.

——Cure obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Xu Bai silently chewed the information in his mind, and after a moment, he smiled.

"It is worthy of being called the inversion of the four directions."

This time, after the fusion of the mental method, in addition to the previous group fighting ability of the four directions being more courageous as they kill, it also has the effect of inverting yin and yang.

The so-called inversion of yin and yang can be summed up in two words.
