As an official, you are just an official. As you have some money, you can still enjoy it after retiring. Your son, Bai Qi, is an official in Sichuan. Therefore, even though it was for the sake of living and leisure, government officials were unable to drag things on.
As Mr Wu stepped into the back garden, the white jade steps greeted him from the parlour.
White Jade Rank was thin and didn't seem to be 60 years old. At this age, it seemed a little too early to retire.
"Mr. Wu?" Neglect! "Halt!" Bai Yu Chi greeted Mr. Wu and welcomed him into the parlour.
It seemed that this was the first time they had met, and they had mutual respect and courtesies. White Jade Step immediately said, "I've heard that my husband is building a house here. He has been wanting to visit us for a long time. He's been too busy. The place hasn't been peaceful recently, so he rarely goes out."
"The reason why I invited Mr. Wu to come today is all because of Ol 'Nine's recommendation. Other than asking for mister's help in settling the accounts, it's mainly because I want to borrow mister's talent …"
"Mr. Bai, if you have something to say, please say it. I will definitely do my best."
"Alright!" The white jade step raised two fingers and said, "There are two things. The first is because you know that Teacher has great talent and the place hasn't been peaceful recently. You know that and would like to consult your defense method."
Without waiting for the other party to reply, she said the second thing, "The second thing is that I have a daughter who practices martial arts. You can speak to her if you want."
Mr Wu nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard of it.
White Jade smiled and said, "This girl's mouth is giving me a headache. She has been back from the Nine Flower Mountain for two to three months. "The girl doesn't like needlework and red hair, always using a knife and shooting at people isn't a solution."
My teacher smiled and said, "Your daughter has been taught by a different person. She must have outstanding martial arts and is well-known for her skills. That's something to be proud of."
White Jade Step sighed, shook his head and said, "That's what worries me the most. Old bro, you must be joking. We are after all the family members who passed down poems and books. Of course, in this day and age, it was not a bad thing for them to get a little blood. However... "We can't just cripple the civil affairs, right?"
Bai Yu Jie then returned to the main topic, "Sir, I have heard a lot about your literary skills. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to come over immediately and visit me. In the future, teach this naughty daughter of yours a good lesson. There are two things that I need you to agree on, sir. "
Mr. Wu said, "Old mister, you're being too serious. Even though I've read books for a few days, and they are written in bold characters, it is too far for me to marry you. Not to mention the Anbang plan. First of all, if the old gentleman pleads on the grounds of keeping the family safe, I shall be ashamed to be of no help. "
Bai Yu Chi sighed and said, "That's enough." As for teaching my daughter how to read, don't decline. "
"This matter has made it even more difficult for me." My husband said, "I am indebted to the gentry of the land for his respect and entrusting my children to me. If I accept your invitation, I will come to your house to read with you." It was inevitable that he would resign from the library there. As a result, dozens of children's studies would be wasted. This one will become the talk of the people. "
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a slightly unhappy expression appeared on her face. "So you're saying that Mr. Wu isn't willing to play the tune?"
Mr Wu stood up and clasped his hands. "Please forgive me. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do it. "
White Jade smiled and said, "It's just that my little girl said that she would change her mind and study with you. That way …"
Mr Wu smiled slightly and said: "There are many sages in the house. I am just a common man. Besides, I will be away for a few days or I might have some medicine, so it would be bad if I delayed Miss's lessons." I hope that old mister can forgive me this time around, and that I won't take any offense into account! "
White Jade smiled wryly and said, "People have ambitions, but they can't be forced to do it. Since Mr. Wu had said so. These two things were forgone. May I ask what is your name, mister? "
"Snowplume." Mr Wu stood up, bowed and left.
The white jade step read "Wu Xueyu" in a low voice, and could not help but be a little depressed. Even with his reputation and identity, there were still times when he was unable to accomplish such a thing. This was something he had never thought of.
If he said it was too late, then it was too soon.
After Wu Xueyu's sudden alertness, the meteor hammer was now less than three feet away from his head. He would not even be able to survive if he was hit by this meteor hammer. It was definitely not fun to be carried on that chain even though the chain was more than ten feet long.
Wu Xueyu suddenly became alarmed and quickly took a step forward with his right leg. There was no time for him to do anything, and one of them had already appeared beside him in a flash.
People, people, hands!
With a "pu" sound, a palm landed on Wu Xueyu's shoulder.
"Get out of the way!" Along with this person's tender rebuke, her palm's force spat upwards, and with a "chi" sound, Wu Xueyu's body was sent flying eight feet away.
It was unknown whether it was due to the coincidence of this palm strike or Wu Xueyu's exquisite movement technique. In short, this round was indeed marvelous. Wu Xueyu was not injured at all, not even his clothes were stained with dirt.
In front of him stood a slim and graceful girl.
He had a tall stature, a slim waist, and eyes as bright as water. They were big and round, looking straight at him. There seemed to be a little fright on his face, but it was more of a pout: one hand weighing the hammer, the other on his waist, wanting to curse and show mercy with his mouth. There was a hint of loveliness in her demeanor. He looked about eighteen or nineteen.
No one knew who started to cheer, but there were cheers everywhere.
All the martial artists ran over, thinking it was all because of Miss Bai's skill. Prime Minister Wu was blessed with great fortune. They all spoke at once. They didn't notice that the two of them had left without a word.
Ling-Huai Pass was no longer a peaceful place.
The victims from all directions rushed over one after another. Streets, alleys, inns, hotels, and even temple halls. As long as one could live in a place, it would be filled with people. There were even some who slept out on the streets. His clothes were tattered and tattered, his eyes were filled with desolation. It was shocking.
In fact, even at the Huaihuan Pass, he was suffering from hunger. He had failed to collect anything for three years in a row. Today, he was like a clay buddha crossing a river — he could no longer protect himself, and he did not have the ability to help others.
If there was a natural disaster, there would definitely be a natural disaster. This was like the law of iron, and there was no exception to it in Huai Pass.
It was not excessive to describe everything that had happened here with the words "night and day".
The Tong Oil King was the first person to be met with misfortune. It was a family of eight, and not a single one of them managed to survive. They had all died on the blade, and their wealth was gone. With the addition of the heartless fire, all that was left was a piece of rubble.
This was followed by "Wu Fu Lin" Dining Hall's Zhang Shanchun. This family had suffered a very tragic fate. 24 people, from top to bottom, were killed, including the servants and the kitchen servants.
Perhaps there was nothing easier than setting fire to the world these days, and the Chang Clan was no exception. Just like the Ding Clan, they had also suffered a fire. Twenty-four people died and a cremation was conducted. All the money they had saved for the coffins had been saved. It was a very clean and efficient way to go about things.
After the two events that happened one after another, the entire city was shocked. Everyone left to tell their news, panicking for an unending period of time. Just when everyone's lingering fear was about to disappear, another piece of news that was even more captivating happened.
The "political exchange flagship" bank, which was known as the number one bank of the two families, was suddenly in big trouble. The bank had been robbed clean, and the large amount of money deposited thousands of miles away had all gone to waste.
The master of the silver number, Bao Zhaotong, and his three concubines were all killed. Bao Zhaotong himself was killed, his body still hung on the front door of the bank. The people who passed by all started to watch, to the point that it was once very lively here. This case had affected the government and the province. The province sent Qiu Taizong of Jiuzhou under the name of "Golden Blade Shock". The head constable of the Anhui Province came to Huaihua quickly that night, restricting them to solve the case within half a month. The main culprit of the release is in custody.
After Grand Leader Qiu's orders, he called for his three elite subordinates and quickly arrived at Chu Huai. He took off his clothes, transformed into a common citizen and stayed at the "Lucky Spring Willow" Inn in the northern suburbs.
There were hundreds of cases in Qiu Taizong's life, and none of them were more difficult to deal with than this one. This was the first time he felt a chill in his heart. He had no confidence in solving this case.
That night, it was completely silent, except for the sound of insects.
Qiu Taizong drank three hundred bottles of old wine. His eyes were bloodshot. He was born with a good tolerance for alcohol and had a record of one thousand. He was just borrowing the liquor to pour out his worries. He had borrowed the wine to refresh his spirit. The more difficult and major the issue, the more he needed to share the two cups.
Qiu Taiquan heaved a long sigh. Looking at the Eight Bow Brothers and "Cloud King's Wing" Wang Shiliang, he sneered and said, "This matter is too troublesome. Maybe the four of us will die here. A moment of glory is always lost! "
"Cloud Descending Wings!" Wang Shiliang snorted and said, "Don't be too discouraged, Big Brother. "At least we have the documents. If necessary, we can borrow the God's camp inside the clock. I don't believe these robbers have the guts to go head to head with the officials."
"Golden Blade Shock across the Nine Regions!" Qiu Taizong looked at his eight bowing brothers in shock. He said, "You've handled a lot of cases, so you must be very experienced." Don't you see what's happening? "
Wang Shiliang was stunned and said, "Oh, you mean..."
"Heh heh!" You still want to borrow the god's opportunity camp? " Qiu Taikou smirked and continued, "Just based on our identity? Not bad, you have the documents, who will listen to you? You don't have to think about solving a case by relying on them. "
Wang Shiliang said, "At least let's sell our accounts to the local state, county, and third class police. How big of a climate can a few thieves make?" "In my opinion, all of them are disasters caused by a few victims of the disaster who were extremely bored to death." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Qiu Taikou said coldly, "Do you really think so? Humph! "Let's look behind us."
