From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

In the golden autumn of October, the paddy fields in Baimu Town have already been harvested, and the wheat that was planted is ripe.

The grain seeds given by Chen Yu produced a good harvest in the Zheng family's garden.

One dou of white jade wheat seeds can harvest six shi of grain, and the yield per mu is more than three times that of ordinary wheat planted at the same time!

On the day of harvest, the head of the Zheng family personally invited him to come and watch, and his words were full of sincere gratitude.

Chen Yu was puzzled. The yield of white jade wheat in the space was four times that of ordinary wheat. It was six or seven times higher than the out-of-season wheat planted in June.

The seeds degenerate somewhat quickly.

This is also due to the fact that the Zheng family’s garden is nourished with good fertilizers all year round, otherwise the yield would be even lower.

Come to think of it, without the spiritual energy and nourishment of the jade dew of creation, white jade wheat is just ordinary wheat.

The fact that it can still maintain a relatively high yield in the outside world is a fundamental change from other wheats.

Chen Yu estimated that within five or six generations at most, this mutant wheat would become indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Eunuch Li left Beijing last month to serve as the chief examiner and has not returned until July.

Even though he was a eunuch, the examiner of the provincial examination was missing, so the court naturally sent people to investigate.

The emperor wanted to know who had swallowed his money. Could it be that Eunuch Li and others had absconded with the money?

When the imperial envoy who was investigating the case arrived at the provincial capital, he learned that the chief examiner and others had returned to the capital to report after the results were announced.

It seems that Eunuch Li and others disappeared on the way back to Beijing.

Eunuch Li himself had no accomplishments, and only gained the emperor's favor because of his ability to handle affairs and make money.

But among the guards accompanying them, there was one martial artist at the fourth level of the acquired realm and three martial artists at the second level of the acquired realm. It would be impossible for ordinary bandits to target them.

The imperial envoy had no idea that the emperor had given Eunuch Li a mission to make money, otherwise he would have thought that one of the guards had evil intentions and harmed all the people traveling with him.

No one is found alive, and no body is found after death. This is totally an unsolved case.

But he didn't have the courage to tell the emperor that he couldn't investigate the case and was powerless.

Such a big thing, who knows how many political enemies are staring at me. Not to mention other things, I can't bear the emperor's anger alone.

We have to give an explanation to the emperor, what should we do?

Just when the imperial envoy was feeling depressed, his subordinates suddenly reported a piece of news.

It is said that there was a candidate named Xu who visited the examiner with his father before the provincial examination.

This candidate took the exam last year but failed. Could he visit the examiner this year to bribe him?

This candidate failed the exam twice. Could it be that he killed Li Yanchou?

He did not tell his superiors about Eunuch Li's rampant selling of fame and honor. After all, the various families in the state capital gave him a lot of money.

Upon hearing this, the imperial envoy immediately asked someone to fetch the file and pretended to check the native place of the candidate named Xu.

Although he felt that the possibility of Xu Xiru and others assassinating the examiner was very small, how could a country boy threaten an official of the imperial court?

These country bumpkins may not even have heard of warriors.

But what does this mean? It means he can close the case!

It doesn't matter who did it. As long as there is suspicion and motive, and a few tortures, there is no case in the world that cannot be solved!

He didn't expect that he was about to catch a big fish by accident.

When Xu Yan returned to the town, after much deliberation, he decided to tell several of his disciples about how he had killed Eunuch Li and others.

He didn't intend to keep it secret. If his disciples knew about it, it would be equivalent to the six major families in the town knowing about it.

They had no objection to this.

After all, relatively speaking, what Xu Yan did was at most the extermination of three clans.

He can forge armor, raise private soldiers, and set up a new military system. If the imperial court gets to know about these actions, all the eggs in the town will be shattered.

Besides, if it weren’t for Xu Yan, the people of Baimu Town would have been enslaved by bandits two years ago and would not have been able to live the peaceful life they have today.

Once Xu Yan explained the details of the situation, they were no longer anxious.

There was no drought there, and the killing took place in the wilderness, so after a few rains, all traces disappeared.

He then threw their bodies off the cliff and hid the silver in a cave.

It would be strange to find any clues along the official road that is thousands of miles long.

However, what was to come had to come. After all, many local wealthy families knew what had happened to Xu Yan and others in the state capital.

The imperial court will always investigate, and my group is the most suspicious, so there is no reason why they wouldn't investigate me.

The best plan now is to hide the barracks in the town. If the imperial court knows about the thousands of guards, they will have to rebel.

We must intensify training during this period and be prepared for war in case we are exposed.

Sure enough, on October 26th, hundreds of people came from outside the town.

Everyone was riding a horse and looked very handsome.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a white face and long beard, wearing the official uniform of the fifth rank.

Ever since the town was attacked by tens of thousands of refugees, the town’s sentries have been deployed fifty miles away.

Although the scout could not tell the middle-aged man's identity, he knew that it was a serious matter just by looking at his official authority from afar.

This large group of people naturally noticed the galloping cavalry, but they didn't take it seriously.

There is nothing much in the six northern counties now, except for a lot of refugees and bandits.

He thought it was some bandits who dared to spy on him, and now they were scared and ran away.

When Fan Xigu saw the scout who was suspected to be a thief, he felt a little uneasy.

In the past few years, there has been a severe drought in Beijun and many refugees have left. Who knows whether the candidate named Xu is still alive.

It is impossible to tell the emperor that the strongman who killed the imperial envoy was poisoned by the refugees.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

When He Qiao heard the message at the training ground, he knew that it was most likely the imperial envoy from the court coming to investigate the case.

It was going very quickly. He didn't have time to think about it. He asked everyone to move all the facilities of the martial arts field into the house and left a few people to watch over them.

The soldiers of the guard battalion were organized into sentry units and took their weapons and hid in the houses of the people in Baimu Town.

Only then did he take a few personal soldiers and hurried on horseback to report to his master and senior brothers.

A group of people came on horseback at a very fast speed.

It was noon when everyone arrived at the street.

He Qiao delivered the message two hours ago. At this moment, the six major families and Xu Yan pretended that they did not know that an imperial envoy was coming.

The sun was shining brightly and few people were walking around in Baimu Town.

As soon as you enter the town, the most eye-catching thing is the Shan family's mansion.

Fan Xigu led many of his men and went directly to inquire where Xu Xiru's home was.

The candidate's file did not contain any details about his father running a martial arts school.

The head of the Shan family saw the visitor in an official uniform, and couldn't tell what rank he was. Behind him was a group of followers leading horses and carrying swords. So when he saw him, he knelt down in fear and trepidation.

"I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't go out to greet you. Please forgive me."

"Hmm," Fan Xigu replied calmly, without asking him to get up. "I want to ask you, is there a scholar named Xu Xiru in this town? Where is his home?"
