J inzhou City.
After the Liang Family’s servants returned, they returned the vegetarian meal utensils to Shengde Building, and the content of their casual chat was heard clearly by Liang Sheng.
Hmm?
On this trip, Zheng Wanchun went down the mountain alone, but Liang Ying stayed behind at Jinshan Temple, involving himself and even claiming that he wanted to transcribe Buddhist scriptures for peace of mind?
Who would believe such words? Is he trying to deceive a ghost?
The people of Jinshan Temple must be full of suspicions by now, and the strange attitude of the County Government Office towards Jinshan Temple made Liang Sheng feel a bit uncertain.
Will there be another major incident?
Is it because his fate does not match with Jinzhou City that he has encountered so many major events in the short time since his arrival?
What’s infuriating is that every time he tries to stay away, someone still wants to mess with him, an honest person. It’s infuriating to think about it!
Thinking of this, Liang Sheng became increasingly depressed and wanted to go to Yichun Building to listen to music at the brothels to dispel his melancholy. Still, he turned back home as soon as he stepped outside the door.
He is now an “old immortal,” and there is no point in going to Yichun Building.
County Government Office.
After returning to the County Government Office, Zheng Wanchun went straight to the Inner Hall to find Xia Zhiqiu and report the results of his trip to Jinshan Temple.
“County Lord, today my subordinate briefly inspected the novice monks and Bhikkhu monks in the temple, but did not find anyone who might be that person.
However, Liang Ying has already found an excuse to stay at Jinshan Temple for a long time. Shall we send someone to take care of his daily life?”
After hearing Zheng Wanchun’s account, Xia Zhiqiu shook his hand and said, “No need, Liang Ying is a smart man; he knows what he should do.
Unless he thinks that he already has the ability to escape my control, he might have ulterior motives. There is no need to worry about this now.”
However, at this time, Xia Zhiqiu could tell that there was something wrong with Zheng Wanchun’s expression, which seemed a bit strange, “What, do you have any other questions?”
Zheng Wanchun nodded directly, “County Lord, I didn’t notice it before, but during this visit to Jinshan Temple, I found that they are not simple.
Though Master Xuan Nan tried his best to hide it, he couldn’t conceal it from my perception; he is already a high-level martial artist at the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level.”
“Oh?”
“Such a master has never been heard of in Jinzhou City. I’m afraid there might be some issues here. Moreover, since there might be someone related to that person who has taken refuge in Jinshan Temple, I’m afraid something unexpected might happen.”
When Xia Zhiqiu heard this, he finally became serious, as it was related to that person, “Indeed, we should look into this carefully. I heard that there are several Xuan Generation high monks in Jinshan Temple.
Wanchun, find an opportunity to go to Jinshan Temple and test the other Xuan Generation high monks to see if they are high-level martial arts masters as well.”
“Yes, sir.”
When Zheng Wanchun obeyed the order and left, Xia Zhiqiu laid out a sheet of paper on the desk, dipped his brush in ink and wrote down the character for ‘stillness’. After that, he finally let out a long breath.
In the end, he was still restless.
Originally, after dealing with the Gao Family, Xia Zhiqiu could have already left Jinzhou City. His performance was already an impeccable report card.
However, Xia Zhiqiu ended up staying in Jinzhou City again for more than twenty years, which was actually a last resort.
Since he was destined to stay in Jinzhou City for many years, Xia Zhiqiu was no longer satisfied with the balance of power between the three forces within Jinzhou City.
His original plan was to gradually weaken both the Liang and Wu Families. However, the unexpected involvement of the No-Life Evil Cult turned into a chess piece in his hand in the middle of the game.
Xia Zhiqiu’s move could be described as turning his hand for clouds and covering his hand for rain, making people marvel at the wisdom of Lord Xia.
But now, there is finally a clue about leaving Jinzhou City, as they have finally found a lead on that person. As long as they find that person, they can return to the capital and report to the nobleman.
At that time, he will truly have achieved fame and status, and there will be a place for him in the capital. With the support of the nobleman, it is not impossible for him to step into the realm of innate talent.”
At this thought, Xia Zhiqiu’s eyes became scorching hot. No matter if Jinshan Temple was hiding dragons and crouching tigers, as long as the news was confirmed, he would have only one path to choose.
Jinshan Temple would either bow down to him, or leave behind a legend of its existence. Xia Zhiqiu wouldn’t have the thought that there were people he could not kill.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqiu took a deep breath and glanced outside the window. The setting sun cast a golden hue upon Jinzhou City, living up to its name, sparkling with golden light.
Yet, this place was not his ultimate destination. Dayan Capital was where a real man could achieve great ambitions. How could he be content with playing in the shallow waters of Jinzhou City?
It was getting close. He finally saw the hope of leaving this place.
Liang Sheng’s Mansion.
At dusk, Zhang Rongjun and his son suddenly appeared with generous gifts to visit Liang Sheng, who naturally welcomed them with open doors.
However, Liang Sheng wondered if they were really in big trouble and depending on the situation, he would decide how to handle it.
If the trouble was too great, he might be unable to help and could only apologize. He could not compromise his own principles for Zhang Rongjun.
It was best to stay out of trouble and stay alive – that was the ultimate truth in life.
But after Zhang Rongjun and his son sat down and continuously thanked him, Liang Sheng felt confused.
He didn’t know what had happened and why they suddenly thanked him.
However, after listening to Zhang Rongjun’s description, Liang Sheng could only smile bitterly. He never expected that the lifelong “useless” person he had been would one day become someone’s support.
The matter was quite simple. Zhang Rongjun had been in business for many years and chose the teahouse location with great vision. It was bound to be a lucrative business due to its prime location.
However, such a good place would naturally attract attention. As soon as the news of the teahouse being up for sale spread, people in Jinzhou City had their eyes set on it.
Being cautious, the other party investigated Zhang Rongjun’s background and discovered that they were ordinary merchants who had returned to Jinzhou to enjoy their remaining years. This detail encouraged the other party to try to force the sale of the teahouse from Zhang Rongjun.
Therefore, today’s situation arose with the Zhang Family’s steward hurriedly calling Zhang Rongjun back to take control of the situation. From the very beginning, the other party had been aggressive.
Zhang Rongjun and his son were infuriated, but they had been wandering outside Jinzhou City for many years. Faced with this unreasonable situation, Zhang Rongjun decided to swallow his anger and was willing to pay some money to resolve the issue.
However, the other party was relentless, insisting on having the teahouse which Zhang Rongjun could not accept.
Zhang’s family had decided to permanently settle in Jinzhou and the teahouse was to be the foundation of their future. How could they just give it up?
The other party sneered and outright refused to reason, while a group of local ruffians appeared behind them.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Rongjun and his son instantly turned pale. The other party had come prepared, and never intended to reason with them.
At this moment, two constables happened to pass by. Zhang Rongjun and his son regarded them as their last straw, but they were even more devastated when the constables ignored them and went straight past.
Seeing this, how could Zhang Rongjun not understand the situation? Heartbroken, he couldn’t help but sigh to the heavens.
“Heaven is not on our side! It seems we have no hope of settling in Jinzhou!”
The man on the other side sneered at this, and Zhang Rongjun, disheartened, turned to the manager and said, “Old Zhang, prepare some generous gifts. Tomorrow, we will bid farewell to Brother Sheng and give up on our previous hopes of enjoying our remaining years with him.”
At this moment, the two constables who had been ready to leave and were nearby heard Zhang Rongjun’s words and suddenly stopped.
Brother Sheng?
Driven by an inexplicable force, one of the constables turned back and asked, “Are you talking about Liang Jiasheng from Shengde Building?”
Zhang Rongjun was stunned but then nodded repeatedly, “Yes, the two constables, Liang Jiasheng and I are old friends. We just had a reunion at Shengde Building earlier.”
As soon as his words fell, the two constables suddenly smiled and turned back.
Zhang Rongjun was both surprised and thankful.
Could there still be a chance for a turnaround?
