"Alliance leader, our martial arts school in Yangcheng has been closed down."

Niu Gui rushed into the yard and said directly.

Jiang Weichen stared at Niu Gui, not knowing whether he heard what he had just said.

If he heard that Chunhua was pretending to be his sister, the truth would be exposed.

Then Jiang Weichen's eyes turned cold. At the end of last year, the Supreme Alliance did not pay the 100,000 taels of silver.

But Jiang Weichen paid all the grain and commercial taxes for that year.

The Song Dynasty collected commercial tax at 3% of the transaction amount. In previous years, the combined revenue of the two gangs amounted to taels.

Excluding the fertile land outside the city and protection fees, the total amount was only about 300,000 taels.

After deducting the gang members' salaries and other expenses, the actual net income was only about 200,000 taels.

Jiang Weichen paid an additional 10,000 taels of grain and commercial taxes.

Hua Yunxuan was not satisfied and sent someone to ask him to pay the remaining 80,000 taels.

Jiang Weichen naturally refused and paid the tax in accordance with the tax policy of the Song Dynasty.

He doesn't do those dirty things like human trafficking or occupying land, so why should he pay so much more?

Hua Yunxuan then sent people to search and harass repeatedly, affecting business.

Jiang Weichen wanted to make the most of his time to practice, so he ignored it. He didn't expect that the martial arts school would be closed down directly.

Chapter 132 Mr. Jiang, you are poisoned

Jiang Weichen asked with cold eyes: "What's the reason this time?"

"The officer said that the Song Dynasty prohibits privately opening martial arts schools and teaching martial arts."

Jiang Weichen asked, "Does the Song Dynasty have such a law?"

Niu Gui didn't have the energy to understand the laws of the Song Dynasty, but he thought that there were martial arts sects everywhere that accepted disciples and taught martial arts, so there shouldn't be such a law. So he replied uncertainly: "I don't think there is such a law!"

Niu Gui didn't know, but Jiang Weichen knew, as he had just taken a casual look at it a few months ago.

Although the Song Dynasty valued culture over military affairs, it had not yet reached the point of explicitly prohibiting it.

After all, there are warriors everywhere in this world, not just in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, most of the top strong people are from foreign races.

Tianlong's top masters, one monk, two hangers, three old men and four masters.

The identity of the Sweeping Monk is unknown, and one of the two is Duan Yu, the prince of Dali.

Among the three elders, the Tianshan Child-Fairy is in Tianshan, which belongs to the Western Regions and is not in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Li Qiushui was the Queen Mother of Western Xia. Wuyazi was in the Song Dynasty, but he hid in a cave and imprisoned himself.

Among the four great masters, Xiao Yuanshan was from Liao, and Murong Bo was a descendant of Xianbei, both of whom were determined to rebel.

Jiumozhi was the Tubo national teacher, and Qiao Feng was from Liao.

Most of the real top masters are foreigners. If the Song Dynasty dares to ban martial arts, it will only weaken itself and strengthen others in disguise, which is digging its own grave.

Although the existence of Jianghu people is difficult to control, they are usually scattered and cannot gather together to rebel.

Moreover, foreign invasion is also a powerful defensive force.

Apart from being disobedient to discipline, no other rebel army posed as much harm to the Song Dynasty as it did.

The Song Dynasty may look down on military men, but it is not so short-sighted.

Jiang Weichen said with a cold look in his eyes, "Please ask Jiang Wenguang to come see me and tell him that I have a great fortune to give him."

I had originally thought of waiting until I dealt with the Qiu Shui Sword Sect before taking any action. I had been holding back before and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

But Hua Yunxuan is getting more and more demanding, and his term will be up in less than a year.

He has a family behind him and has been very corrupt over the years. Plus, nothing major has happened in Yangcheng in recent years. If he bribes someone and builds some connections, he will most likely get promoted.

Jiang Weichen originally wanted to concentrate on his cultivation and ignore him for the time being. He would avenge Yang's son when his realm was higher, but Hua Yunxuan didn't want him to be content.

The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn’t stop!

"Alliance Leader Jiang, you invited me here because you have thought it through?" Jiang Wenguang received Niu Gui's invitation and thought that Jiang Weichen wanted to make peace with the county magistrate through him.

Jiang Weichen smiled and said, "No hurry, Sir Jiang, please take a seat. Niu Gui, you should also take a seat. Come, Sir Jiang, have some tea first."

Jiang Weichen personally served tea to Jiang Wenguang. When he turned around, Niu Gui hurriedly said, "Alliance leader, I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself."

After saying that, he quickly reached out to take the teapot.

Jiang Weichen ignored Niu Gui and said, "This tea is my treasured collection, specially used to entertain distinguished guests. If you want to drink it, there is another one next to it."

Niu Gui's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, his face flushed red. Jiang Weichen turned around and faced him. He thought the leader was going to pour him tea.

The momentary different treatment made Jiang Wenguang feel very proud. He happily picked up the teacup and carefully tasted the delicious tea that the Supreme Alliance specially prepared for its guests.

Jiang Wenguang took a sip and then felt a little disappointed.

He is a tea lover, but the good tea that Jiang Weichen mentioned is only the good tea of ​​Yangcheng, which is not top-notch and costs dozens of taels of silver per bag.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, please tell me what you want me to do."

Jiang Wenguang put down his teacup and said.

Jiang Weichen sighed, "Alas, Master Jiang, you have been poisoned."

Jiang Wenguang's face froze. He looked at the teacup he had just put down and said in surprise, "Alliance Leader Jiang, this joke is not funny at all."

"I know Lord Jiang doesn't believe it. There are four clinics in the city, oh no, five. You can go there for treatment."

Jiang Wenguang's face changed, and Niu Gui, whose face was still a little red, came back to his senses instantly.

He thought to himself: I said the leader was not a stingy person, why didn’t he let me drink the tea? It turns out he poisoned it in advance.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, I am not a guinea pig for you to test medicine on. Although you have martial arts skills, there are more than a thousand Yangcheng city guards, yamen runners, and police chiefs, all of whom have certain martial arts skills. Many minor officials can also be transferred from the surrounding towns.

You have already offended Lord Hua. If I request to mobilize some manpower, equipped with some bows and crossbows in the government office's reserves, Xiantian can be kept. Are you sure you are not kidding?"

Jiang Weichen agreed, "Indeed, if all these people were to gather together and equipped with bows and crossbows, I would be doomed to die. But would I be so foolish as to wait for you to gather all your men?

Yangcheng is now full of gang members from my Supreme Alliance. I will definitely get the news if the government mobilizes a large number of people.

If I run, the master will die of the poison."

Jiang Weichen sighed, "Alas, when you die, you have nothing left."

Jiang Wenguang's face turned pale, and he regretted coming over. He shouted, "What are you doing? The one targeting you is Hua Yunxuan. Why didn't you poison him, but poisoned me instead?"

“As you said, even a small city like Yangcheng has more than a thousand yamen runners skilled in martial arts, not to mention Suzhou, which is a level above.

Moreover, the Suzhou prefect can mobilize the Hunan Army in Suzhou, so Hua Yunxuan cannot die in my hands.

I don’t want to be a wanted criminal, so I can’t be a suspect.”

If his realm was high, he would just go up to Hua Yunxuan and chop him with a single blow.

The Suzhou prefect would not offend himself for the sake of others.

But he was not strong enough. If he dared to kill the county magistrate, the Suzhou prefect would become the chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys in order to maintain the stability of his rule.

Jiang Wenguang said in shock: "You want to kill Hua Yunxuan."

Jiang Weichen shook his head and said, "No, it's you who wants to kill him now. It has nothing to do with me."

"Why did you choose me? There are so many people around Hua Yunxuan." Jiang Wenguang asked in a collapsed manner.

"Because Lord Jiang is closest to that position, if he spends all his savings and smooths things over, he's most likely to become the county magistrate.

The person who sits on it has something on me, so he won't cause me trouble in the future.

If you find someone else, you can only use it once."

Jiang Wenguang secretly cried out in bad luck. He was in a position that was neither high nor low, and he thought he would be safe and secure, but he didn't expect this to happen. However, he still said, "You asked me to kill Hua Yunxuan, why should I listen to you?"

“You’ve been poisoned, and the poison will take effect in three days. No one in Yangcheng can cure it.

And within three days, you can't leave Yangcheng and find a famous doctor."

Jiang Weichen had already been studying poison identification with Old Yang before leaving Yangcheng.

In the past two months, Jiang Weichen mainly studied the formula of the body-tempering soup with Old Yang.

But we still exchange experiences occasionally. I have memorized a lot of medical books, and Mr. Yang has rich experience.

The two sides complement each other. It is not easy to develop strange poisons, but general poisons are not a big problem.

The poison that Jiang Wenguang was poisoned with was just one of them. Old Yang said that no one in Yangcheng could cure this poison.

Jiang Weichen believed in Master Yang. Although he didn't know how skilled the doctors in other clinics were, Master Yang was the best doctor in Yangcheng.

Although this poison is not a rare one, it is the result of the cooperation of the two.

It is easy to poison but difficult to detoxify. The other doctors are not as good as Mr. Yang in medical skills, and they don’t know what the poison is, so they can’t detoxify it in a short time.

Chapter 133 Misunderstanding

Jiang Wenguang’s forehead was sweating, and he said angrily: “I killed Hua Yunxuan, but I didn’t have a good ending, and I also offended the Hua family.

Since both sides are going to die, why should I listen to you?"

Jiang Weichen shook his head and said, "You are the second-in-command of Yangcheng, and you have a lot of contact with Hua Yunxuan, so you must know his diet and daily life.

I have a poison that will not cause any abnormalities in the victim, but if the victim becomes overly excited within three days, it will cause sudden death. Most people should not be able to detect it."

Niu Gui and Jiang Wenguang's expressions changed. Where did Jiang Weichen get these strange poisons?

"When Hua Yunxuan dies, you can use your savings and smooth over some connections. Maybe the position of county magistrate will be yours."

Jiang Wenguang's heart was moved for a moment, but he woke up instantly when he saw Jiang Weichen smiling.

"That's a nice thing to say. If I kill Hua Yunxuan, how do you know you won't kill me to silence me and distance yourself from me?"

"Don't worry, Yangcheng is currently the headquarters of my Supreme Alliance. We are in the same boat because we have killed people together.

When you become the county magistrate in the future, I hope you will take good care of me.
