Chapter 100 Sir, You Are Not Cruel Enough

Chen Shi squeezed out of the crowd, took off his hat and threw it on the side of the road.

His clothes were a bit long, so he tore off a piece and wrapped it around his palm. He tied a knot on the back of his hand with his teeth, then squeezed it hard and it worked quite well.

The cloth is linen, the texture is rough, but the grip is very good.

"This way, when the blood comes out, you don't have to worry about the knife slipping out of your hand."

At this time, thunder rumbled in the sky. Chen Shi looked up and saw a dark cloud covering the clear sky. There was moisture in the wind, so it would probably rain soon.

Chen Shi called Hei Guo over and asked, "Hei Guo, have you seen Mr. Fu?"

The black pot immediately led the way in front, and Chen Shi followed it, weaving through the streets, and soon arrived at the home of County Magistrate Zheng Shiyun.

Zheng Shiyun had been the county magistrate for many years. He was powerful and influential in Xinxiang County. He was also a very scheming person and did not have many enemies in Xinxiang County.

However, at this moment there was wailing in Zheng Shiyun's home. Chen Shi rushed in and saw the servants of the Zheng family lying on the ground. Zheng Shiyun was pierced through the chest by a bamboo pole and stuck to the wall, but it was not a fatal injury and he was crying out in pain.

Zheng Shiyun's wife and children were at a loss. They wanted to pull out the bamboo pole, but it was impossible. They wanted to pull Zheng Shiyun out, but the end of the bamboo pole that was inserted into his body had broken and pierced into his flesh. If they pulled it out, the flesh would be pulled out as well.

"All the county yamen runners were sent away. No one was guarding the yamen. No one checked when they heard the fight. The only one who could give this order was Zheng Shiyun, the county magistrate. Therefore, Zheng Shiyun knew who the noble lady was! Mr. Fu came here to force him to tell us who the noble lady was."

Chen Shi reached out and grabbed the bamboo pole, saying, "Zheng County Magistrate, who is the noblewoman who bought Shen Yusheng's divine fetus from you?"

Zheng Shiyun was in unbearable pain, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said in a hoarse voice: "You also come to ask who the noble lady is, well! I'll tell you! The Li family, the family of Governor Li! Do you dare to provoke them? You only dare to deal with me! Who did I provoke?"

Chen Shi pulled out the bamboo pole and Zheng Shiyun screamed in agony, but he managed to get down from the wall, only a few pieces of flesh were torn off by the cracked bamboo.

Chen Shi looked at the bamboo pole. It should have been broken from Wencai Academy. It was very tough. Fu Leisheng used too much strength, causing one end to break.

Chen Shi's face was as gloomy as water. He asked, "Ten years ago, the top scholar in fifty provinces, who sold his divine fetus? Who bought it?"

Zheng Shiyun said, "Ten years ago, I was not even a county magistrate, so how could I be qualified to sell his divine fetus? All the people who sold the divine fetus back then are dead. I heard that the people who bought the divine fetus were afraid that the news would leak out, so they killed them all."

"How many divine fetuses has Lord Zheng sold over the years?" Chen Shi asked.

Zheng Shiyun became alert and said cautiously, "I have never sold it. If it weren't for the family of Governor Li who came to ask about it personally, how could I do such a heinous thing?"

Chen Shi walked out holding the bamboo pole, breaking the broken end of the pole as he walked.

The bamboo pole was originally more than one person tall, but after he broke it off, it was only more than three feet long.

Zheng Shiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him walk out of the Zheng residence.

"I do not believe."

Chen Shi's voice came from outside the wall.

Zheng Shiyun was shocked. Outside the wall, Chen Shi made a sword gesture with his left hand and injected his true energy into the bamboo pole. The bamboo pole was like a sword. As he pointed the sword gesture, it shot out like lightning. The huge force pierced through the wall and went through Zheng Shiyun's throat.

Zheng Shiyun flew up with a whoosh, fell backwards, and hit the old tree in his home with a bang, three or four feet above the ground.

"Ziwu Xiezhan Sword... can it be used like this?"

His limbs drooped limply and he didn't move.

There was crying sound coming from Zheng's house.

"Whoever steals the divine fetus must die!"

Chen Shi left, "Mr. Fu doesn't want to dirty his hands, I'll do it for you!"

"Chen Shi, what are you doing here?"

Chen Shi, under the guidance of the black dog, caught up with Fu Leisheng. Fu Leisheng couldn't help but frown, stopped and shouted, "Today is your big day, you are the best in Xinxiang, the true god has descended and given you a divine fetus, you will soar to the sky! Don't you want fame?"

He was standing outside a house on the corner of the street. There was a bundle of bamboos, about twenty or thirty pieces, and a hatchet was standing next to it.

"Mr. Fu, you're not ruthless enough."

Seeing this, Chen Shi knew that he was here to look for bamboo, so he immediately stepped forward, grabbed a hatchet, and cut the thin bamboo poles into three or four feet long. He sharpened one end, tied them into a bundle, and carried them on his back.

"I'm worried about you, a scholar, killing people." Chen Shi held the hatchet in his hand, and the linen wrapped around his hand fit his hand perfectly.

Fu Leisheng took a fancy to the bamboos of this family, which were about 17 feet long and extremely tough.

He cut off the front end of the bamboo with a sword, picked up the bamboo and walked away, saying coldly: "I am determined to die, I won't care about you when I get there!"

The owner of that family went out to look for a hatchet, but found that it was missing, the bamboo had been chopped into pieces, and the bamboo had been carried away. He couldn't help cursing.

The two men came to the dock by the Qingqu River and raised their hands to hail a pleasure boat. Chen Shi asked, "Boatman, do you know where Governor Li's family lives?"

The father and daughter on the pleasure boat recognized Chen Shi. The boat girl smiled and said, "I remember you. You are rich, not like those poor people! Governor Li's family lives on East Street. It's a big house owned by a wealthy Lingnan businessman! Why are you asking about this?"

"Send them a bundle of wood!"

Chen Shi jumped onto the pleasure boat, threw her a silver ingot, and said, "Please take us there."

The boat girl saw that it was a silver ingot of two or three taels, and she couldn't help but smile with her eyebrows curved, saying: "Okay! Father, hurry up! These two people are looking for revenge, let's send them over, hurry up and don't get implicated!"

Fu Leisheng looked at the boat girl, who giggled and said, "We have been sailing on this river for many years. We have seen all kinds of people. You look murderous and you are looking for revenge. Hey, my love, what's the point of carrying these bamboos when you go to seek revenge?"

Chen Shi said seriously: "If one end of these bamboos is sharpened, they will become sword-shaped, which is suitable for the first style of Ziwu Zhanxie Sword, the stabbing sword style."

The boat girl shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate for you to carry it like this. I have a fish basket on my boat. You can put the fish in the basket."

She took out a fish basket that could hold twenty or thirty thin bamboos. Chen Shi found it light enough to carry it on his back, so he thanked her.

The boat girl chuckled and said, "Are you two going to collect the bodies?"

"Need not."

Chen Shi tightened the fish basket and said, "I have killed too many people. I wonder how much it would cost to collect the bodies." "Boom!"

There was thunder in the sky, but it didn't rain and it was just gloomy.

The boat girl took out an umbrella, put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you have killed many people! Take it quickly, otherwise you will get soaked."

Li Xiaozheng was the new governor of Xinxiang Province. He stayed in Xinxiang County for only one day before taking office immediately.

After all, he is an important official appointed by Xijing. Xinxiang Province is an important place. The Zhao family has brought disaster to the area and released the devil, sacrificing countless people. There is a lot of work to be done and there is no time to delay.

However, although he left in a hurry, his family did not have to be in such a hurry. They could have fun while walking slowly towards the provincial capital.

Governor Li was an upright man and was not interested in women. He only married two wives, Weiyin, the daughter of the Xia family, and Jingshu, the daughter of the Yan family, who were listed as his principal wife and concubine.

In addition, there were three concubines and several maids.

As for concubines, there are none.

He cherishes his reputation very much.

On this trip, the two wives and three concubines each brought their household servants, children, and servants to play in Xinxiang County for a few days to wash away the fatigue.

Madam Xia Weiyin said with a smile, "The master went to Xinxiang Province to take up his post the day before yesterday. He was very busy with official duties and mundane matters. It was inevitable that officials from all walks of life came to pay him an audience, and there were also personnel appointments and dismissals. It was very noisy. They were going to kill the heads of the Zhao family again, and heads were falling to the ground. We women can't stand seeing this, it's too bloody. But two days have passed, and I think all the heads that should be chopped off have been chopped off. Let's go slowly, so that the master won't be without women around him and be fascinated by some foxy woman again."

Second Madam Yan Jingshu said, "Sister is right. This Xinxiang is not like other places. The officials in Xinxiang were originally from the Zhao family. Now that the Zhao family has fallen, they are at a loss. When they see the master, they don't know how to curry favor with him. Isn't it better to give him money, treasures and women? Although the master has a good reputation, the key is that he can't remain calm."

The two ladies smiled knowingly, invited the Lingnan rich merchant, and said, "Master, thank you for your hospitality these days. We will leave for the provincial capital today, so we dare not disturb you anymore."

The Lingnan tycoon was an old friend of Li Xiaozheng, and his business was also the business of the Quanzhou Li family. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Would you two ladies stay for a few more days? I would also like to show my filial piety."

Madam Xia Weiyin waved her hand and said with a smile, "We are living in your house, and everyone in your family feels uncomfortable. We dare not speak loudly. It is disturbing, so how can we cause you more inconvenience?"

The Lingnan rich merchant dared not disobey, and immediately ordered people to prepare some silver and treasures, saying: "I know the two ladies and the master don't need these, but at least it is a token of my heart."

The two ladies did not think much of it and said, "Never mind, just consider it as your filial piety." After that, they ordered people to accept it.

The second wife, Yan Jingshu, ordered the servants to pack up and prepare to set off.

At this time, the young master Tianxiu came over, looking energetic.

Yan Jingshu asked, "Why is my son so happy?"

"Mother, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Zeng gave me a new divine fetus, which will make my cultivation more efficient!"

Li Tianxiu laughed and said, "It was put in from the back of my head. It still hurts a little."

The two ladies were shocked.

Li Tianxiu is Yan Jingshu's youngest son. He is treated as a treasure in daily life. She holds him in her hands for fear of dropping him, and holds him in her mouth for fear of melting him.

The young master has been extremely intelligent since childhood, but he just doesn't like studying, and he has not yet achieved divine status.

Someone in the Li family originally said that there was a concubine named Li Tianqing who was favored by the true god and was given a first-grade purple jade divine fetus. It would be better to give it to the young master.

Later, nothing happened.

This time when I came to Xinxiang County, I heard that in this small county, someone was given a divine fetus by a rays of light from heaven during the literary examination. It turned out to be the first-grade Wenchang divine fetus that countless people dream of, and it made others envious.

At that time, Yan Jingshu and Xia Weiyin were talking about this, and Yan Jingshu said casually: "If Tianxiu can also be granted a first-grade divine fetus by the true god, I will be satisfied."

"Most likely it was Mrs. Gu who acted on her own!"

Yan Jingshu was a little angry and ordered someone to call Mrs. Gu.

After a while, Mrs. Gu came over.

The woman was about 40 years old and was originally the wet nurse of the Li family. Seeing that she was sensible, the two ladies promoted her to be the manager of the inner court, in charge of all matters big and small.

Mrs. Gu was indeed smart and capable. She handled everything properly, saving the two ladies a lot of worry.

Yan Jingshu scolded Mrs. Gu, paused, and said, "Since you have done your job, there is nothing I can do."

"Was the child whose divine fetus was dug out given a proper burial?" Xia Weiyin asked.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Of course we gave him a grand funeral. We didn't steal him by force, but bought him with great money. The child's family is from the countryside, and he has more than one son, so it doesn't matter if one is missing. We gave him enough money."

Xia Weiyin nodded gently and said, "After all, it is a matter of damaging one's moral character. If it gets out, it will be bad for the Li family's reputation. The master cherishes his reputation."

Mrs. Gu understood and said, "I will handle it. Only the county magistrate and a few yamen runners know about this. Madams, the carriages are ready and the things are packed. You should set off as soon as possible."

Xia Weiyin nodded slightly and walked out surrounded by the girls.

Yan Jingshu asked Li Tianxiu, smiling, "You have a new divine fetus, how do you feel about it?"

Li Tianxiu was inexplicably excited and said, "Mom, I feel a hundred times more energetic, and my cultivation has also increased by who knows how many times!"

Yan Jingshu said sternly: "Since you have been blessed with a divine fetus, you should study hard with Mr. Zeng and stop being indecisive! If you mess around with those maids again, I will break your legs!"

Li Tianxiu quickly said yes, and when he saw a tall horse, he said excitedly: "Mom, I'm going to ride a horse!"

Yan Jingshu had no choice but to let him do it.

Everyone walked out of the manor and boarded the carriages outside the manor.

Li Tianxiu rode his horse and galloped out of the city, saying with a smile: "Mom, I'll wait for you outside the city!"

Yan Jingshu hurriedly said: "Mr. Zeng, take your men and follow Tianxiu!"

A scholar in his fifties bowed and said yes. He was about to mount his horse when suddenly there was a whoosh and a flash of green light passed through the back of Li Tianxiu's head while he was riding wildly, and went out from the front of his head, bringing up a flash of blood!
