God Catch starts with adding points

The sloppy Taoist glanced at the wicked monk, "You are wicked, but, with this wine, what's the matter with recognizing a father?" He raised his head and stepped on the stool, "Everything in this world is imaginary, only this wine it is true."

When Lu Bai went up to eat, Gu Qinghuan had almost eaten, so she ordered the two women to be escorted up, and listened to their side of the story first.

The woman in the bamboo hat was very hot-tempered, and she pulled the cloak and said: "Don't tell them that they are like dogs, they are obviously bullying others, but they put us in custody and send us to Ankang City, what's the difference between that and a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? I figured it out, the crows in this world are generally black."

Gu Qinghuan made a dish for Lu Bai without saying a word.

Yun Niang said calmly beside her: "Since that's the case, there's nothing to say. For a drowned person, a straw will catch it. It seems that you two haven't reached the coffin yet. Please go down."

The woman in the bamboo hat froze, hesitated for a while and then said stiffly, "Hmph, I'm right, Zhiran, don't talk nonsense to them."

Yun Niang poured a glass of wine for Lu Bai, "It's also a science to make friends. Some people claim to be loyal, but they always think of ways to push their friends into the pit. The key point is that she always uses the banner of being good to you."

Yun Niang glanced at them lightly.

She is too familiar with this kind of friends, and this kind of intrigue is indispensable when she was in the brothel.

"You" the woman in the bamboo hat is not convinced.

"Rou Chuan" the girl in the cloak pulled the girl in the bamboo hat, bowed to Lu Bai and the others, and said, "My friend has a quick temper, and he can't speak wisely. If there is something offensive, please forgive me."

Yun Niang said lightly: "There is a big difference between having no brains and having brains without using them."

The woman in the bamboo hat named Rou Chuan raised her eyebrows, "You!"

Yun Niang raised her eyebrows and glanced at her lightly, "Since there is nothing to say, you can go down with Jin Yiwei."

"I" Rou Chuan swallowed the rest of the words in her stomach.

Girl Zhiran saluted again, "We have offended you so much"

Yun Niang interrupted her, "She should apologize for her mistakes. A true friend should point out a friend's mistakes, not cover them up."

Girl Zhiran has nothing to say.

After a long while, Yunniang said: "If you two have nothing to say, you can leave."

After being so excited, Rou Chuan said coyly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now."

Yun Niang poured a glass of wine for Gu Qinghuan, and said flatly: "I don't know how much trouble I'll save by talking this way earlier, so let's say your own side of things now."

Rou Chuan muttered, but didn't speak, but looked at Miss Zhiran.

Girl Zhiran said softly: "My family and Rou Chuan's family were originally wealthy families. My grandfather used to be the magistrate of Ankang City. In my father's generation, although he didn't become an official, he passed on his poems, books, farming and reading to his family in Ankang City. Rippo is respected."

However, all this changed with the rise of the Shi family.

The Shi family, like Rou Chuan and Zhiran's family, belonged to a famous family in Ankang City. Later, the head of the Shi family gained a backer in the capital ten years ago and became a high-ranking official. Become the leading family in Ankang City.Seven years ago, the head of the Shi family became the head of Ankang City, and the power of the Shi family was unparalleled in Ankang City for a while.

When Shicheng Lord took office as the Ankang City Lord, Ankang City was hit by floods, food production was reduced, and the people were in dire straits.

At that time, the Shicheng Lord issued a city lord order in the name of being sympathetic to the people. Instead of exempting the people from taxes and corvees, they postponed them.

If it is still unaffordable in the next year, it will be pushed to the third year, and the increase has risen by 20.00% of the total amount. At this time, the three-year period will not be in arrears. People must pay off the taxes and corvees in arrears. Compulsory use of land as collateral.

Lu Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. Isn't this the legendary interest rate? The person who launched this policy is a talent.

People are short-sighted.

It was a famine year, and there was no harvest in the fields. All the hungry people wanted to survive the famine in front of them, and they couldn't predict what would happen next. Therefore, the city lord's order was implemented smoothly.

Although Rou Chuan and Zhi Ran were vigilant at the time, they were both short of food at that time, and if they could save money, they would save money.

Lu Bai smiled.

He knew all too well what their family was thinking at the time.

"The saved food is to take advantage of the famine and exchange it for the fields in the hands of the people at a low price?" Lu Bai said.

Rou Chuan and Zhi Ran are both wealthy families, and they are still officials. If they say that their family can't stand the huge profits, Lu Bai will not believe it. The people who suffer the most are the common people. In my hands, I can't survive the huge interest, and I have to pledge the land to the big landlord or the government at that time.

At this time, how much the land can be mortgaged is uncertain. If you meet greedy officials and landlords, I am afraid that it will not be enough to sell the pot and sell the iron, and you will have to sell the sons and daughters.

After such a toss, maybe the rich gentry's money will be returned in full, and the common people's Tian Sanqi will be divided.

Win-win.

Only the people suffer,

Zhiran was silent for a while, then shook his head, "No, the Shi family has bigger hearts, they plot all the fields in Ankang City."

Three years later, when the land merger was in full swing and the rice fields were golden, the Ningjiang River suddenly burst its embankment, turning the fertile land in Ankang City into a vast ocean, and Ankang City once again had no crops.

Now there is no need for Miss Zhiran to say, Lu Bai already knows what happened.

These big landlords have desperately annexed the land. I am afraid that they have taken out all their wealth. The land belongs to real estate, which is like borrowing money to buy a house.

Now the family has been emptied, and the fields that I bought have not yet yielded, and the city lord has cut off the leeks.

"Tsk tsk." Lu Bai admired.

This stone city lord is tall.

He guessed that the Ningjiang River broke its embankment, and there was a lot of fame in it.

Miss Zhiran sighed softly, "In order to survive the difficult time, my father borrowed money from the seventh son of the Shi family. However, Ningjiang broke the embankment again the following year."

No matter how stupid the landlords of Ankang City were, they knew the problem this time, but it was too late to regret it now.

They couldn't pay the loan, couldn't pay the taxes, so they could only hand over the land they acquired with great difficulty to the Shi family.

The two girls, Rou Chuan and Zhi Ran, are pretty, and Young Master Shi Qi likes them very much, so the scene of Jin Yiwei chasing them appeared.

Lu Bai shook his head, "Break the embankment again? The leeks were cut too roughly."

But it's normal, as long as no one finds out that the breach of the dike was caused by the Shi family, this is an aboveboard conspiracy.

Yun Niang waved to Jin Yiwei to put the two girls down.

Before leaving, Lu Bai asked them: "Do you know that your two names are a perfect match!"

"Huh?" Rou Chuan and Zhi Ran were at a loss.

After they went down, Lu Bai asked: "Who is the backstage of this Shi family, so arrogant?"

Although the Shi family has risen in the past ten years, Gu Qinghuan has collected a lot of information and knows a lot about the Shi family, "Among the original four aristocratic families, behind the Gu family is the Xiyan Pond; behind the Mo family is the Immortal Building; Behind the Chen family is Lanke Villa, and behind the Lu family is Jianzhai." Gu Qinghuan said.

It was with the support of these sects that Gu Mo, Chen Lu became one of the four major families.

However, more than ten years ago, this situation changed. With the birth of Sword Immortal, although the Lu family became the head of the four great families, Jianzhai lost its spokesperson in the court.

Not only that, there is even a gap between the two.

Because Jianzhai is known as the world's sword sect, it is difficult for sword cultivators to stand out, but now a sword fairy has taken away their limelight, and Jianzhai's embarrassment can be imagined.

Not to mention these, just to say that in order to continue the influence of Jianzhai in the court and the secular world, Jianzhai can only choose a spokesperson again. This time, in order to recover quickly, they chose the mode of raising Gu, that is, picking three families as training targets, and finally from A suitable family is selected from the three major families as their spokesperson in the secular world.

Shi Zhong, the head of the Shi family, was in the limelight in the capital at that time, so the Ankang Shi family was selected by Jianzhai and became one of the three major families.

"The practice sect chooses aristocratic families and political power in the secular world, mainly for silver, medicinal materials and rare treasures, especially silver. With silver, everything behind will be available." Gu Qinghuan said.

Therefore, the ability to earn money is the only criterion for a practice sect to select a secular spokesperson.

She thought that the rampant cutting of leeks by the Shi family probably had something to do with the fact that Jianzhai's gu-raising model was coming to an end, the three major families were about to decide the winner, and Jianzhai had to choose a new secular spokesperson.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lu Bai was stunned.

From this point of view, it is not easy to be the spokesperson of this practice sect in the secular world. In order to collect money for the practice sect behind it, he has to do all kinds of dirty and tiring work, and most of the money will not reach his own hands.

It's no wonder that as soon as a sword fairy came out of the Lu family, they immediately established Yiqiu Villa independently.

The world has been suffering for a long time.

Lu Bai reckoned that he, the sharp sword in the hands of the Eight Great Sects, would not have an easy life in the future. He would definitely be forced to do something and become a pawn in their hands. If he wanted to change this fate, he would have to do something. Chess players have become a practice school like the Eight Great Schools, so they dare not underestimate them.

Lu Bai's realm is breaking through now, comrades still need to work hard.

There was heavy snow, and when the lights were turned on at night, there was still no sign of stopping.

There were not many rooms in the inn, so they were given to the female relatives. Lu Bai also got one room because of his noble status. As for the rest of the people, they could only sleep in their clothes in the lobby of the inn.The snoring sounded one after another in the lobby, and the sloppy Taoist priest's dream words "Master, give me wine" echoed, which was a rare experience.

When I woke up in the morning, the sky was finally a little less.

In order to rush to Ankang City to plunder merit points as soon as possible, Lu Bai decided to set off without delaying the schedule.

This trip, there is one more monk, one, two girls, and Ankang Jinyiwei.

Although the road is difficult to walk, there are many people pushing carts.

They stumbled and walked for some time, and finally at night, they heard the sound of evening drums.

This is the goal that Lu Bai and the others set when they set off:

Arrive at Baiyun Temple at night.

Baiyun Temple is a one-day journey from Ankang City. It was originally a Taoist temple opened by a wandering Taoist priest. Later, because Ankang City is not far from the Peach Blossom Temple where he hides from the world, Taoist priests often pass by for a night. Over time, the reputation of Baiyun Temple has been raised, and the incense has also flourished.

The team was already tired, but after hearing the sound of the drums, they cheered up and rushed towards the temple. Not far away, the Jin Yiwei in front stopped and muttered a few words, and one of the Jin Yiwei turned his horse around and came to Lu Bai's car, " My lord, two corpses were found ahead."

Chapter 312

Lu Bai rode his horse and came to the two corpses.

The two corpses were leaning against the tree trunk, and their bodies were covered with snow. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that they are two corpses.The corpse was that of a man with a strange smile on his face. He looked very strong and had no scars other than frostbite.After checking with his men, he told Lu Bai that the two died of freezing.

"Frozen to death?" Lu Bai was puzzled.

It's in the wilderness, and it's in the Baiyun Temple, how could it freeze to death here.

Seeing the weird smiles on their faces, his disciples muttered in their hearts, "Could it be a monster?"

Lu Bai waved his hand, "When people are on the verge of freezing to death, they will have hallucinations. They feel that they are very warm and their bodies are relaxed. That's why they show this kind of smile."

When Lu Bai said this, the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lu Bai scanned the two corpses again, seeing that he couldn't find anything, he sent people to continue on their way to Baiyun Temple.There are steps up to Baiyun Temple, which are paved with bluestone slabs, and the two corpses are beside the bluestone slab road.

As Lu Bai and the others walked up, they saw three more corpses one after another on the road. They were all strong men who froze to death.

Lu Bai went up to the Baiyun Temple full of doubts, and saw that the door of the Baiyun Temple was wide open, and the inside was in a mess. Many Taoists were busy tidying up, putting back the dismantled door panels, putting the incense burner, stone pier, and statues back one by one.

When they saw Lu Bai while they were busy, a trace of panic flashed across their faces, but after seeing the person clearly, their faces relaxed a little, but they were still on guard.

Gu Qinghuan got out of the carriage with Yunniang's support, and asked in surprise: "What happened to the Taoist temple, was it a thief or a strongman?"

After saying this, Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but look at the sloppy Taoist priest.

The sloppy Taoist hurriedly cleared the blame, "You little girl, don't wrong the good people. This Taoist temple is not worth my attention, and they don't have wine."

Lu Qinghuan chuckled, "I didn't say it was you."

The sloppy Taoist priest nodded, "Oh, I see. You see, we must be suspicious of the wicked monk. Don't tell me, this monk is so wicked. Maybe he came to the Taoist temple to make trouble."

The wicked monk rolled his eyes, "I am your uncle's Buddha, I am with you all day, why are you making trouble?"

The sloppy Taoist priest smiled, "Maybe it's your sleepwalking that ruined the Taoist temple, you old bald donkey don't like the Taoist temple, it's not a day or two."

The wicked monk sneered, "I still don't like temples."

The sloppy Taoist slapped his forehead, "I forgot about this."

Lu Bai was startled, are these two really monks and Taoist priests?

While they were talking, the Taoist leader came out to welcome them. The Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe and had white hair. He should have a childlike face, but now his face was ashen and rotten, as if he had been injured.

After they saluted, after Lu Bai confessed his purpose of staying overnight, the Taoist chief let them in with a sigh of relief, "The wilderness small temple, I'm afraid there is nothing to entertain guests, as long as some simple food and drink, I hope you don't take offense."

Lu Bai waved his hands. They were very satisfied with the tiles to cover themselves, and besides, they also brought dry food.

After entering the door, he was supposed to go to the main hall, but Lu Bai discovered that there was a stage set up in the open space in front of the main hall. The stage was being dismantled, but it hadn't been completely dismantled. He could vaguely see the red and green gauze hanging on it. drapery and scenery.

"Hey!" The wicked monk was delighted, and he asked the sloppy Taoist priest, "I didn't expect you dogs to have such a habit."

The sloppy Taoist priest was very innocent, "I don't know either. If I had known earlier, I might have lived in the temple."

The Taoist priest heard their joking words, and said with a wry smile: "Since we built the temple on this wilderness, we are aiming for a pure and clean place, and we will not pursue the pleasures of the world. As for the stage"

The Taoist priest shook his head, "Hey, it was all done by Young Master Shi Qi of Ankang City."

It's this Seventh Young Master Shi again.

Lu Bai wondered, "Why, did he come to Baiyun Temple to rob people?"

The Taoist shook his head.
