Passers-by had to travel by boat for transportation.
The fertile fields outside the city also suffered as a result, flooding everywhere, and the farmers wailing.
The prices of food, melons, fruits and vegetables on the market have increased one after another.
The series of troubles caused by the continuous heavy rain made the Wang family, which is now in power, more and more headache.
Fortunately, within a short period of time, the granaries in Xuanjing City were adequately stocked. There were too many ransacks and exterminations before, and the empty warehouses were filled up one after another.
Coupled with the retreat of the chaotic army, without the consumption of military affairs, the accumulation gradually became abundant.
In a restaurant in Zhonghuan Town.
"This big consumer of food and meat is the martial arts practitioners of the gang sect. Nowadays, there are fewer martial artists and natural supplies are abundant. Although the price of goods has risen, it is still within the acceptable range of the public."
"From this point of view, after Wang Zongbing took office, he promoted the bandits and cleansing operations led by Master Zhu Chenzhu, which has indeed achieved good results. There are fewer and fewer sects and gangs in the past, and the order in the city is becoming more and more orderly."
"Drink together for the commander-in-chief!"
"Drink together!"
A table of Wenxiu scholars toasted together.
These academy students are the main force in discussing these political affairs in the city.
On the other side, behind a screen in the corner.
A circle of several people gathered around the table for a banquet.
Liang Zhen looked at the two friends sitting across from her, and listened to the faint voices coming from outside.
"It seems that the market in Xuanjing is not bad now, and it is just suitable for me to settle here."
He patted the honest boy sitting beside him.
"In addition to market research (market research), there is one more thing I want to ask two friends."
On the opposite side of the two, a man was full of smiles, his body was full of fat, and he seemed to be in a posture of being kind and rich.
The other woman was in the middle of her life, and her body was covered with all kinds of pearls, gold, agates and the like, and her eyes were a little picky.
These two are the new rice merchants in Xuanjing City, the Zhou family and the Qin family.
"We have worked together for many years, Lao Liang, don't talk nonsense, just tell me what you need, and I have nothing to say from my side if you can help." The man surnamed Zhou waved his fat hand cheerfully.
His Zhou family is not one of the three big families, but just the same surname.
However, although it is not as prominent as Da Zhou's, his side is also one of the best in terms of business scale among rice merchants, which should not be underestimated.
"It's the same here. Your old Liang's store has given us a lot of convenience, and a little help is fine." The middle-aged woman in the Qin family said slowly.
But the tone is not as refreshing as the previous one.
Liang Zhen's face remained unchanged, making it impossible to see his thoughts at all.Also thank you again and again.
"My nephew has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he also has a bit of talent. I was not able to shape him in the countryside before. Now that I have come to Xuanjing, this big place in Taizhou, I think I can always give him Find a good mentor.
Therefore, I would like to ask the two of you to introduce one or two.See which one is convenient for you. "
The young man sitting next to him was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a strong physique and pure eyes. His pupils seemed to be able to see the bottom at a glance, and he seemed to have no thoughts.
"I've heard about Liang Zhen's nephew. Now, on the surface of Xuanjing, if one can teach martial arts, one-on-one apprenticeship is the only way to do it." The woman surnamed Qin regretted, "And at this age, It's actually a bit bigger."
"I heard that there is a list circulating on the ground of Xuanjing, that is, there are ten masters of Xuanjing?" Liang Zhen asked curiously.
"Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. How can this list be counted? It's just rumors." The man surnamed Zhou waved his hand and said, "However, due to policy reasons, the boxing academy is not allowed to open, but you can try it and come to the door apprentice."
"So that's it. Then, I'll try it out later." Liang Zhen nodded clearly.
It's just that he didn't know that a strange color flashed in the eyes of his nephew Liang Zhen who was beside him.
Liang Zhen came to Xuanjing with his uncle at home this time, not simply to learn from a teacher.
He has a special hidden talent since he was a child, and as a side effect of this talent, he has been extremely concerned about the opposite sex since he was a child.
He stayed in his hometown before, and didn't have any outstanding members of the opposite sex, so let's forget about it. Now that he's here in Xuanjing City, it's not comparable to the counties in his hometown.
Liang Zhen was dazzled.Along the way, he seemed to be honest and responsible, but in fact, his thoughts had already drifted to unknown places along with the beautiful girls and women around him.
Soon, after eating, Liang Zhen took him back to the house that the Liang family bought in the city, and let him have a good rest.
Liang Zhen agreed in person, but he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.
As soon as he closed the door, he changed his clothes and went out through the back door.
Just when he went out, a team of horses galloped by on the street. A small white horse in the lead, a beautiful girl with a hot figure and long hair in many small braids, immediately attracted his attention.
Liang Zhen stood by the wall, staring straight at the girl's slightly shaking sensitive parts, feeling fascinated.
"It's really different in the big city... It's really different..."
However, he only dared to indulge his eyesight.
"How is it? Is that girl strong enough?" A hand was on his shoulder.
Liang Zhen was startled, took a step forward quickly, and looked back.
A white-faced boy with a frivolous expression looked at him with a smile.
Chapter 226
"Brother!!" Liang Zhen was overjoyed and recognized this person.
"Junior brother, you didn't notify senior brother when you came to my ground." The white-faced young man looked at the leaving horse team from afar.
"But your vision is a bit high. The girl who just passed by is Wang Shuyi, who is in charge of the royal family. She is known as one of the four beauties of Xuanjing. As soon as you get started, you want to come to the most difficult one. Difficult, difficult, difficult."
"What are you afraid of, a fair lady and a gentleman are so jealous. We are not ungrateful people. If good things come true, I will not let her down." Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows.
At this time, he completely lost the simple and honest appearance before.
"That's true, junior brother, you are very talented. As long as you match up with a woman with a higher cultivation level, you will be able to make rapid progress and improve your cultivation level. And you can also make the other party give up on you.
In this way, I can create an opportunity for you.As long as that Wang Shuyi sleeps in your bed, she will definitely be inseparable from your ability. "
When Liang Zhen heard this, he immediately raised his hand in awe.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. Although I, Liang, love beautiful women, I don't want to force her. This matter has to be based on your love and I will be willing."
"Junior brother really won the true biography of the old man who respects the master." The white-faced young man said with a smile.
"However, Xuan Jing seems to be calm now, but it is actually dangerous. I'm afraid the younger brother came here for the simple purpose of seeking flowers and asking Liu?" He tentatively asked.
"Senior brother Huiyan, I am here to investigate the inexplicable disappearance of many martial artists recently. The other members of the same sect are not as suitable as I am, so this matter is my turn." Liang Zhen explained.
"It's okay to investigate, but you have to be careful. Now Xuanjing City, with your speed, you can go to most places, but there are a few places, you must be careful." The white-faced boy reminded.
"Appreciate further details."
"First, the headquarters of Xunri Liuye is located in the largest Zhu Mansion in Zhonghuan Town. There is Zhu Chen, the person in charge of Xunri Liuye, whose strength is unfathomable. I wanted to go in and get something , and finally got close, and was almost discovered." The white-faced young man sighed.
"So powerful? Even you, brother, were almost discovered, that's really terrifying." Liang Zhen's expression suddenly became solemn.His brother's leg skills are extremely strong, and his movement is as silent as a fallen leaf. Even he was almost discovered. One can imagine the sensitivity of the other party's five senses.
"Yes, we must stay away. The second is where the headquarters of the three major families are located. There are many masters there, so we need to be cautious.
The third is the Thousand Bat Water Pavilion of the Wandu Gate.Don't rush in casually, this place is full of poisonous nets, it can be called a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.It is easy to be poisoned if you are not careful. "
"Understood! But where should I start my investigation? Do you have any suggestions, brother?" Liang even had a headache.
"Speaking of which, if you can really achieve good things with Wang Shuyi...it would be a good thing." The white-faced young man looked at Liang Zhen and began to think.
His junior brother can be regarded as a top genius who is rarely seen in a hundred years in the master's school. He is very suitable for the master's martial arts, and his future is limitless.
With the combination of his talent and skills, maybe he can make her give up if she gets close to Wang Shuyi just once.
"Brother, stop talking, I'm not that kind of person!" Liang Zhen waved his hand and said seriously.
"I'll send Wang Shuyi to your room tomorrow night, how about it?" the white-faced young man said indifferently.
"Really!?" Liang Zhen cheered up.
"Can I still lie to you?"
"Senior brother's great kindness, I will never forget it! Please accept my little brother's worship!" Liang was very happy, and immediately bowed his head.

Wangfu.
Wang Shaojun gently played with a long sword that was as sharp as autumn water in his hand, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother, why do you want to cover the Wanqingmen again?" Wang Shuyi frowned aside.
"Our Wang family has treated them with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. It is a small family in the district that can survive until now without being besieged. It is all because Master Zhu sees in the face of my Wang family. He, Wei He, still doesn't know what is good or bad, and always asks for your help. .
Does he not know that favors are also consumed?After helping once or twice, three times or four times, is it possible to help for a lifetime?My royal family owes him something! "
Wang Shuyi was quite dissatisfied at this time.
"Shuyi, you don't understand..." Wang Shaojun shook his head, there were many things he couldn't say.
His friendship with Wei He is not just superficial.There is no way to tell outsiders about many internal friendships.
"Forget about it, this time, brother, you also transferred all the food stored in our mansion to Wandumen, and gave you the cheapest cost price. Isn't that a bit too much? I promised my friend before, It is impossible to convert some grain for its business turnover!" Wang Shuyi said dissatisfied.
"The food shipment for next month is here, you just take a batch first, it's just a trivial matter." Wang Shaojun frowned.
Now the banner of the Wang family is gradually being handed over from Wang Zhihe to him.
As the strongest master of the new generation, the top representative of Xuanjingcheng's youth generation.
Wang Shaojun's current position, city, and character are all enough for him to gradually take charge of the overall situation and gain a firm foothold.
It's just that the relationship with Wanqingmen has become a big problem for him right now.
"It's not a matter of food transportation, but Master Zhu's intention is that he is already dissatisfied with us and the Wandu Sect.
Brother, why did you commit the crime knowingly?It is not that we are short of food, but that our position and attitude are wrong. "Wang Shuyi said rightly.
"I have my own opinion on this matter." Wang Shaojun waved his hands and did not want to talk about it. "Tell me about the meteor thief?"
"Meteor Pirates? Meteor Pirates failed to catch them last time, so I'm afraid they are more cautious now. What is there to say?" Wang Shuyi said displeased, "There is a banquet at Zhu Ting Pavilion, the most outstanding group of people in our generation Organization, they asked me to invite you, can you show up."
"I will not get involved with your young people's affairs." Wang Shaojun shook his head, he is married now, and his age is not as old as before.
There is nothing to talk about with these young people in their twenties.
"You go by yourself. If there is something you fancy, come back and tell me."
"Brother! What nonsense are you talking about!?" Wang Shuyi's eyes were high above her head. Except for a character like her own brother, there are really few people in Xuanjing City who can catch her eyes.
And Wang Shaojun said a few more words.
When Wang Shuyi left the small hall and walked out of the palace, a servant who had been waiting for a long time hurried forward.
"Second Miss, what you asked for has been sent back." The servant carefully stuffed a note into Wang Shuyi's hand.
Wang Shuyi opened it and saw that there was a line of addresses on it.
This is the specific location of the Wandumen in Heiwu Mountain that she obtained after she bought her elder brother's food transporter and inserted her own people.
Just find out the specific location of the Wandu Gate, and then give this address to Lord Zhu Chenzhu, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to make a move.
At that time, even if Master Zhu is dissatisfied with his elder brother Wang Shaojun, because of his younger sister's remedy, it will not have any major impact on the Wang family as a whole.
Wang Shuyi has already seen that Master Zhu Chenzhu's thoughts on Wandumen.Now it's just a secret preparation.
"Well done, here is the reward." She casually threw a gold leaf.
"Miss Xie for the reward." The boy accepted it with a happy face.
Wang Shuyi took the note and was going to send people to check it in many ways. After it was completely correct, she planned to hand it over to Master Zhu Chenzhu.
This is the nomination certificate.

By the side of a stream, several elk slowly lowered their heads to drink water, but they didn't pay attention at all. There was a person sitting cross-legged among the grass flowing up the stream.
