Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Chapter 137 In the Fields

Jiang Weichen breathed a sigh of relief. They were not there to arrest him directly, they were just suspects.

Jiang Weichen said, "I know that Hua Yunxuan is dead, but I have been practicing on Qingyun Mountain during this period. Taoist Qingyun can testify to this."

Su Yunhui looked at Taoist Qingyun, who nodded.

Taoism is highly valued in the Song Dynasty, and there are Taoist testimonies. Su Yunhui doesn't know what to do, as there is no clue at all.

Jiang Weichen is the only one who has the motive to kill Hua Yunxuan.

"Come back with me and be investigated. You two must also go as witnesses. If it wasn't you who did it, I wouldn't wrongly accuse you."

Taoist Qingyun, who was implicated for no reason, looked unhappy.

"Master, I'm sorry to have troubled you with this trip. I'd like to treat you to a leisurely evening at Baihua Tower."

After Jiang Weichen finished speaking, Taoist Qingyun blushed and said, "That was the mortal heart training, it's not as dirty as you think."

The three followed Su Yunhui back to Yangcheng and went straight into the yamen.

It was Jiang Weichen's first time to come to the county government office. After a routine interrogation, Jiang Weichen had proof of his alibi, which could be proved by more than just Taoist Qingyun.

Many people in the Supreme Alliance, even the city guards, knew that Jiang Weichen had never returned since he left.

Su Yunhui had no choice but to let him go. Jiang Weichen took out a thousand taels of silver and said, "You have all worked hard for the country and the people. I run a small business in Yangcheng. This small amount of money will be used as a treat for you brothers to drink.

After you gentlemen have concluded the case, I will host a banquet for you all at the Health Preservation Building."

On the way here, Taoist Qingyun told Jiang Weichen that Su Yunhui was actually in the innate realm.

However, it is understandable that if the chief constable of a state is too low in level, how can he catch the murderer in this martial arts world?

At the Xiantian realm, Jiang Weichen was really afraid that he would investigate him to death. He had killed officials in Lianhua Town before.

It’s just that the ninth-rank county magistrate in Lianhua Town did not report it, and Hua Yunxuan didn’t care.

Jiang Weichen decided to make friends. One thousand two taels of silver and a banquet were nothing to him now.

But it’s different for these constables, they only get a few taels of silver as salary a month.

Besides, he was the one who opened the health care building, which only served medicinal food and slimming soup. The prices were extremely high, and he only did business with rich people.

There are currently seven or eight kinds of medicinal foods, including those for nourishing the body, strengthening yang, and losing weight.

These are what those who are fat and full of themselves need.

Business is good except that some people have their own exclusive doctors and don't need it.

Now the reputation of the Supreme Alliance is gradually improving, and business will only get better and better.

The constables were all beaming with joy after receiving the extra money from Jiang Weichen.

Su Yunhui didn't say anything. The salary could not support their martial arts training. Corruption was common, let alone this kind of thing.

However, Su Yunhui also looked down on this little money. Among so many people, each person only got more than 100 taels, which was a huge sum of money for others, but he was at least in the early stage of innateness.

Jiang Weichen did not bribe him alone. After all, he was now a suspect. If he bribed him alone, wouldn't it be a case of covering up one's own guilt?

It would be fine if he lets it go for the sake of the silver, but if he is just out of justice, wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?

Three days later, Su Yunhui and his companions left without finding out anything.

The suspect Jiang Weichen had an alibi, and the concubine interrogated him countless times and even tortured him but failed to get anything out of him.

Jiang Wenguang was the one who actually did it, and Jiang Weichen didn't know how he handled the whole process. In short, he cleared himself of all charges. Apart from simple inquiries, he was not even interrogated.

In the end, Hua Yunxuan died of sudden death due to excessive indulgence and excessive excitement.

Jiang Weichen hosted a banquet for Su Yunhui and others as agreed, and did not offer any more bribes.

I don’t know if we will have any intersection in the future. Even if there is, his behavior has been good enough, so there is no need to do anything else.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wenguang began to take action, spending all his money, and borrowed 20,000 taels of silver from the Supreme Alliance to go to Suzhou Prefecture to build connections.

Jiang Weichen didn't know how many people were eyeing that position, and whether Jiang Wenguang could compete with others.

He doesn't care about these things. It would be better if Jiang Wenguang could get the position, but it doesn't matter if he can't.

It is better to have great power within yourself than to fight for it.

Jiang Weichen bid farewell to the Taoist Qingyun and instructed his men to invite craftsmen to renovate the Qingyun Taoist temple.

Then he began to practice, sometimes at the headquarters, sometimes at night to discuss medical skills with Master Yang, and sometimes to Qingyun Mountain to ask some questions.

In the blink of an eye, it was September, and Jiang Weichen was walking on the fertile fields outside the city.

Watching the tenants busy in the fields, chatting and laughing while harvesting rice.

"Old Wang, is what you said above true?"

"What?"

"We can start contracting land starting next year, right?"

"Who knows? It might be true. None of us have gone hungry this year."

Lao Wang pondered for a moment and replied.

"Why did we sell the land in the first place? Now we have to spend money to contract it back. After all, we've gone full circle, with no land left and no money spent."

"..."

These fertile fields were previously occupied and reclaimed by the Black Tiger Gang.

After Jiang Weichen came to power, he looked down on the little income from the fields.

They were also unwilling to continue exploiting the tenants and improved their treatment.

But with the increase in wages, the income from the fields has become insignificant.

So they decided to rent out all the land and let them farm it themselves.

Every year, the surplus grain is sold to the gang to make wine or sold in bulk, and they only have to pay a little rent every year to pay taxes.

Jiang Weichen also thought about returning the land to them, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

It won't be long before they can't resist the temptation and sell the land after returning it to them.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let them spend a symbolic amount of money to rent land for farming.

This land is not theirs, so they dare not sell it. The Supreme Alliance does not oppress them, but they live better.

And it doesn't take many people to manage this little piece of land.

Jiang Weichen walked across the ridge of the field, entered the village, and saw six or seven children.

One of them had his hands on his hips and his back to Jiang Weichen.

The other four men pinned a boy to the ground.

There was also a little girl who could barely walk and was clapping nearby.

I only heard the boy lying on the ground shouting, "Let me go~"

The boy, hands on his hips, asked, "Will you give me the fish you catch next time?"

"No~"

"Then you can teach us how to catch fish!"

"If I don't teach you, my father says that if you learn it, there will be fewer fish and I won't be able to catch them."

"The pond isn't yours, but you caught all the fish. We didn't even get any soup."

"Humph, that's because you're incompetent. You can't even hold the fish if you catch it."

The child squatted down with his hands on his hips and asked, "A Shui, will you teach us?"

Ah Shui, who was lying on the ground, raised his head stubbornly and said, "If you don't want to teach me, I won't teach you. What can you do?"

"Clap~"

With his hands on his hips, he slapped him in the face.

"Ah, Li Dawang, you dare to hit me in the face? My father said you shouldn't hit people in the face."

Ah Shui, lying on the ground, struggled violently, but his limbs and back were held down by four people of the same age, so he couldn't stand up.

"Pah, I hit you in the face, what? Do you want to teach me?"

"No, I won't teach you even if you kill me."

Ah Shui struggled in vain, he held his head high and said stubbornly.

I saw Li Dawang, whom Ah Shui mentioned, walked over to a little girl who was clapping and said:

"I'm not hitting you, I'm hitting your sister."

"Li Dawang, how dare you? My sister is not even two years old. Are you still a human being?" A Shui roared angrily.

Li Dawang pretended to walk up to the little girl who clapped her hands and sat down on the ground and said:

"Oh, then I won't fight, but I have to pee urgently, what should I do?"

Chapter 138: Seeing the big picture from the small details and finally gaining enlightenment

The little girl sat on the ground without crying. She looked up at Li Dawang, stretched out her hands, and muttered, "Hug me."

But Li Dawang took off his pants and prepared to pee on the little girl.

Jiang Weichen stood in the distance and didn't care. He was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business.

Besides, this is just children's play, it won't hurt anyone.

If no one mentions it when she grows up, the little girl will not remember it.

If you remember and feel that your dignity has been lost, then bully them back.

Jiang Weichen didn't care, but Ah Shui seemed unable to bear it and shouted:

"Li Dawang, I'm not done with you."

Then he roared and struggled violently.
