The whole Xuan Wu Mansion was spotless.
The haze of the past had dissipated, and now it had completely turned into an ocean of joy.
The dead were gone, and the living were here.
Although Xuanwu was not here, Su Peipei, the Count's wife, decided to celebrate the New Year.
Suddenly, the servants and maids in the Count House cheered.
They happily put up red paper and set off firecrackers.
Not long ago, the New Year was too depressing because of the war.
Now they could finally go all out and have fun.
And every servant and every maid could get a red envelope.
Everyone had three red envelopes.
One for Count Xuanwu and his wife, one for Shen Lang and his wife, and one for Shen Wan and his wife.
Shen Lang's parents had been living in a big house outside the castle, and they also had more than a dozen servants.
As a result, Su Peipei insisted that the old couple also give red envelopes to all the servants in the Count House.
The meaning was very clear. In the Xuan Wu Mansion, the two of them were also the masters.
As for the money for the red envelopes?
Shen Lang had a private stash of money.
…
The maids in Shen Lang's courtyard were also dressed up, and everyone wore beautiful silk cotton-padded jackets.
"It's snowing, it's snowing."
Bing'er suddenly cheered.
The maids looked up and saw that it was indeed snowing.
And the snow was very sudden.
It was sunny not long ago, and there were no snow seeds.
All of a sudden, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
The snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, falling from the sky, and it was very beautiful.
Then, all the maidservants rushed out and happily played in the courtyard.
The last snowfall was even heavier.
But the Count House was in a great crisis, so no one was in the mood to enjoy the snow.
This time, they could have a good time in the heavy snow.
An elderly aunt, who was embroidering a Pixiu on Shen Lang's shoes, glanced at the heavy snow outside and said.
"This snow won't last long."
It was freezing outside, but Shen Lang's room was as warm as spring.
The fragrance was pleasant.
Mulan was the most beautiful Mulan.
Shen Lang was the most unrestrained Shen Lang.
Although it was daytime, the room was lit with red candles.
The bedsheets and quilt were all bright red. They were used in the bridal chamber that day.
The injuries on Shen Lang's body had already healed.
Therefore, Mulan was going to fulfill her promise.
In beautiful words, Mulan wanted to make up for Shen Lang's wedding night.
To put it bluntly, Mulan wanted to skin Shen Lang alive and eat him alive.
Even though he had peeked at it many times.
However, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful Mulan.
Her entire body was fragrant, and even her breath was intoxicating.
Her skin was as white as snow, but it was dyed with a layer of red.
Her eyes were like water, overflowing with charm.
Her beauty was peerless and captivating.
Her lips weren't covered with rouge, but they were bright red.
She had also drunk a little, so she was still a little lewd.
A vixen's charm wasn't rare.
But for a pure and cold goddess like Mulan, once she became charming, it was enough to captivate people.
Her small mouth gently kissed Shen Lang's forehead, nose tip, and lips.
Shen Lang trembled, "Wife, there's no need for any prelude, just do it."
"Wife, don't take pity on me because I'm a peerless handsome man. Ravish me to your heart's content, trample on me, eat me up!"
Mulan said coquettishly, "Okay!"
Then, Mulan took off her dress and put it on top of him.
Instantly, the air was filled with flames and wine.
It was like a raging fire.
Too beautiful to behold!
Just like the snow outside, it was fluttering freely.
…
Three minutes later!
Everything was over!
Bing'er looked at the sky and said dejectedly, "Why is it so fast? Why did the snow just start and then stop?"
"Yeah, the clouds in the sky are all gone."
"Aiya, the sun is out."
"This is too fast. How can there be snow like this?"
The aunt who repaired Shen Lang's shoes said, "I told you, it didn't snow for a long time. There are no snow seeds and no clouds. It will be over soon."
…
In the room!
Shen Lang was ashamed to see anyone. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Three minutes, only three minutes!
Mulan smiled and kissed him, comforting him, "My dear husband, don't be angry, don't be angry. I heard that men are like this on their first time."
Shen Lang cried, "The thing is, it's not my first time."
Mulan said, "That time doesn't count. You were unconscious. You don't know anything."
Shen Lang said, "There must be something wrong with my body. There must be something wrong with my body."
Mulan said, "No, it's not like that. Husband is great. You're just excited. Do you remember the last time? You were covered in wounds. It must have been a long time before you got injured. So Husband is really strong. You can fight with a demoness like Chou Yao Er for a few hours. You can see Husband's ability. "
Sigh!
It really wasn't easy being a wife.
She even used Husband's cheating record to comfort him.
When Shen Lang heard this, he felt that it made sense.
That's right!
Chou Yao Er is so strong. She's a prehistoric female T-Rex.
I can fight with her for three thousand rounds.
Not to mention my sweet wife.
I must be too nervous and excited.
Men are all like that. Everyone is like that.
Hahahaha.
Hahaha.
Haha!
Wu!
How can I, Shen Lang, cheat in the future? That would be so embarrassing. I'll be laughed at by those women.
But he was worrying too much!
He was too excited because it was his first time.
… …
Within the capital's palace.
The Monarch's anger was like this strange snow, fierce and murderous.
The entire hall was covered in dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
No one dared to breathe too loudly.
No one dared to move.
No one dared to fart. If they did, they would hold it back.
All the palace maids and eunuchs felt their necks were cold and itchy, as if their heads would be removed at any moment.
It snowed for three minutes.
It stopped!
The Monarch suddenly smiled. "I'm a bit hungry. Go get a bowl of glutinous rice balls."
"Yes!"
The eunuch's feet did not stick to the ground.
A moment later, he came back with a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
There were about nine thumb-sized balls.
The Monarch got tired of eating anything. Nine was the most he could eat.
If he ate more, he would have to finish it. If he got tired of it, he would get angry.
After eating, it was just right, but he still wanted more.
"Xuan Wu Mansion's Prince Jin Mucong, how is he doing at the Guozijian?" The Monarch asked.
The eunuch said, "He's a simpleton."
The Monarch said, "He hasn't left home since he was a child. It's not easy for him to study alone in the capital. Send him a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Remember to make it hot and add rice wine. I know they add rice wine to their glutinous rice balls. "
The eunuch smiled. "Your Majesty has a good memory. I heard that not only rice wine, but also dried osmanthus."
The Monarch smiled. "Then add it. This child is an honest man. Don't let the people at the Guozijian bully him."
The eunuch said, "Yes, Your Majesty is merciful."
The Monarch's anger was like the inexplicable snow in the sky.
It came quickly and left even faster.
How temperamental.
… …
In the afternoon.
The Governor of Tiannan Province, Zhu Jung, appeared in the palace.
"I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"
Zhu Jung knelt on the ground, motionless.
The Monarch Ning Yuanxian said, "What's the Governor's fault? This is obviously a great victory. Chou Tianwei gathered his people in the Eastern Sea. He has no respect for the law. The people have suffered for a long time. If it wasn't for the war in The Southern Kingdom, I would've sent an army to kill him. Now that Zhang Chong and Xuanwu have joined hands to eliminate him, it's a good thing. "
Zhu Jung knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Yes!"
The Monarch said, "Xuanwu's memorial has also arrived. He said that he's willing to reduce his private army by two thousand. He didn't mention his own contribution and only mentioned Zhang Chong's great contribution. This man is a gentleman. He added a new land to the State of Yue and expanded our territory. From now on, our Eastern Sea will be at peace. "
Zhu Jung closed his eyes in pain and said, "Yes."
The Monarch said, "I heard that Zhang Chong's son died in the battle of the Nu Tiao City?"
Zhu Jung said, "Yes."
The Monarch said, "What a pity. A young talent died just like that. Give me a decree to Zhang Chong to comfort him. Confer Zhang Jin the title of General Yingyang. "
Zhu Jung said, "Yes."
The monarch continued, "Zhang Chong and Count Xuanwu joined hands to annihilate the great pirate Qiu Tianwei. Their meritorious service is not small. I hereby decree that his mother be conferred the title of third-rank Lady of Imperial Mandate."
Zhu Jung said, "Yes!"
The Monarch said, "Tang Lun, the Earl of Jin Hai, colluded with pirates and invaded our country. He has no respect for the Emperor and is unfilial. Let Black Water Station cooperate with Zhang Chong. "
"Yes!"
… …
Nu Jiang's Governor Zhang Chong and Black Water Station's Qianhu led thousands of warriors into the Jin Hai Count House!
Search the house!
Extermination!
Other than Tang Lun, the other sons were kept in the dark.
If they dared to disobey, they would all be killed.
The Monarch decreed,
Stripped of all titles of the Tang Clan.
Reclaimed all fiefs of the Tang Clan.
Disbanded all private armies.
The Tang Clan, male, female, old, and young, totaled more than 700 people. They were all loaded into prison carts and escorted to the capital.
Crown Prince Tang Lun was released because he reported the crime.
But because he couldn't stop his father from committing a heinous crime, he was stripped of all titles.
At this point!
The Jin Hai Count House that had been passed down for more than 300 years was destroyed!
The Tang Clan was no longer in the State of Yue's list of nobles!
… …
Governor Zhang Chong received three consecutive decrees from the Monarch.
The first decree praised Zhang Chong's contribution in eliminating the pirate Chou Tianwei. Hearing that his son Zhang Jin died in battle, the Monarch was very sad and conferred the title of Eagle General to Zhang Jin. Hearing that Zhang Chong had eye problems, the Monarch gave him medicine.
The second decree conferred the title of Third Rank Lady to Zhang Chong's mother.
The third decree stated that Zhang Chong's achievements in Nu Jiang Prefecture were outstanding. The new policies were well promoted and it was a great contribution. Therefore, Zhang Chong was removed from the position of Nu Jiang's Governor and was promoted to the Right Minister of the Censorate.
These three decrees were each more important than the one before.
It seemed that Zhang Chong had become a rising star in the political circle, making countless people envious.
Generally speaking, the Censorate only had one Minister of Third Rank.
But sometimes, when a meritorious official needed to be rewarded, but there was no particularly good position for the time being, they would specially appoint a Right Minister of the Censorate as a transitional position.
This was a Minor Third Rank position.
Zhang Chong was promoted from Fourth Rank to Third Rank and became a central high-ranking official of the State of Yue.
He was really popular.
For a time, countless people came to visit, and the door was crowded.
… …
In the study of the Jin Hai Count House, there were only Zhang Chong and Tang Lun.
Tang Lun said, "Grandpa Zhang, now that you are in the limelight, I, Tang Lun, am facing a disaster. The world is really unpredictable."
Zhang Chong smiled sadly and did not speak.
Tang Lun said, "Can I commit suicide?"
Zhang Chong shook his head and said, "No."
Tang Lun said with tears streaming down his face, "Can't even commit suicide?"
Zhang Chong said, "No!"
Of course not!
Thunder and rain were all favors. What would happen if you, Tang Lun, committed suicide?
Wouldn't it seem like you were wronged, wouldn't it seem like you died with hatred?
Of course, you had to be punished openly and be executed for your crimes.
Tang Lun said, "Grandpa Zhang, my son Tang Yun has no one to rely on. Please take care of him on the account that we fought side by side."
Zhang Chong smiled bitterly and did not speak.
"Grandpa Tang, please be on your way," Zhang Chong said.
Then, the Black Water Platform Warriors came in and helped Tang Lun change into prison clothes, put shackles on him, and escorted him into the prison carriage.
Two hours later!
More than a thousand Black Water Platform Warriors and a thousand Supreme Court Soldiers escorted more than seven hundred prison carriages and left Jin Hai City in a grandiose manner, heading towards the capital.
Regardless of gender, age, or lineage, the Tang Family, distant or distant, they were all captured in one fell swoop.
Instantly, cries shook the heavens!
Along the way, countless people watched.
"Good!"
"Good catch!"
"The Tang Family has committed heinous crimes, they should have been caught long ago."
"Monarch is wise!"
Countless feces, rotten vegetables, and leaves were thrown at the prison carriage.
The Duke of Jin Hai, Tang Lun, was covered in filth, even the blood of women.
But he did not move, allowing the people to vent.
… …
On a building.
Zhang Chunhua looked at this scene and said with a trembling voice, "Father, does Tang Lun have this much public anger?"
Zhang Chong shook his head and said, "Although he doesn't love the people like his own children, he won't go so far as to blame the people of Jin Hai City. Jinshan Island earns huge profits every year, and the taxes on the Tang Family's fief are not high."
Zhang Chunhua said, "Then why do the people hate him so much?"
Zhang Chong said, "The human heart is like water, how deep it is. The people's heart is like smoke, how chaotic it is. Since ancient times, the human heart has been the most unreliable thing. "
Zhang Chunhua said, "Seeing the Tang Family's demise, it really makes one sigh! Fortunately, the Monarch's eyes are sharp, knowing that you have done a great service, so he sent three decrees to reward you, father. "
Zhang Chong smiled and did not say anything.
Zhang Chunhua said, "Everyone says that the position of Yanzhou's Governor is basically yours, father. But I need you to transition to the position of the Right Minister of the Imperial Censor. Your daughter congratulates you on your promotion, father. "
Zhang Chong looked at his daughter lovingly and suddenly said, "Chunhua, how are your studies recently?"
Zhang Chunhua said, "Not bad, other than throwing Boundless Breeze into the latrine, I have been studying well."
Zhang Chong said, "Through my relationship with Governor Zhu Jung, I want you to go to Sky-sea Pavilion to be a scholar's attendant, study there for a year and a half, is that okay?"
Zhang Chunhua's face changed, "Father, why? What is going to happen? "
Zhang Chong said, "Go, go! Since young, you have never listened to the small things, but never disobeyed the big things, this is the big thing! "
Zhang Chunhua burst into tears, "Your daughter does not want to leave father's side."
Zhang San said, "Go, go now. We'll set off immediately!"
… …
Dozens of warriors from Black Water Platform rushed into Xuan Wu Mansion.
Count's Madam Su Peipei received this Black Water Platform Qian Hu.
"Count's Madam, I heard that Jin Hai Count House's third son Tang Yan is in your mansion?" Black Water Platform Qian Hu said, "The Tang Clan has committed treason, colluding with pirates to invade your Jinshan Island. The Monarch is furious, so he wants to capture the entire Tang Clan."
Su Peipei said, "Thank you, Monarch, for your kindness, Tang Yan did come to my house before. But Madam, you know that he has a big grudge against my family, he had a fight with my daughter Jin Mulan, so we chased him out. "
Black Water Platform Qian Hu frowned, "Indeed."
Su Peipei said, "Of course it's true. Why should I cover up for my enemy?"
For a moment, this Black Water Platform Qian Hu was speechless.
Su Peipei said, "Although Chinese New Year has passed for more than 20 days, it is still considered Chinese New Year as long as the first lunar month is not over. Please accept these red packets, it is to pay for the tea. You have worked hard for the country during Chinese New Year."
Then, a servant came forward and brought a plate of gold coins.
The Black Water Platform Qian Hu quickly got up and said, "We don't dare, we don't dare!"
In the end, they did not accept the gold coins and left.
… … …
Xuan Wu Mansion Book Collection Vault.
Shen Lang was writing furiously, while the Martial Maniac Tang Yan was in a daze. Occasionally, he would use his finger as a sword and stab out. Then, he would reflect on how he stabbed and how he should adjust.
Finally, Shen Lang finished analyzing the ancient secret manual sent by Sword King Li Qianqiu.
It was more than 200 pages.
This sword art was called Snow in the World.
Shen Lang was busy analyzing it and restoring it to the paper, so he did not have the time to understand it.
But from the name, it did not seem particularly powerful.
In fact, it was hard to tell if a secret manual would be awesome before it was deciphered or even cultivated.
For example, the Meteor Fall Sword Art.
After the first Sword King mastered it, it was unparalleled in the world.
That was how this sword technique became famous in the world. It was so awesome that it soared into the sky.
After all, these were ancient secret manuals that had not been cultivated before.
It was hard to say whether it was powerful or not.
This was similar to gambling on stones. After cutting it open, it could be a priceless ice type or a waxy type.
However, Sword King Li Qianqiu was very powerful. He only needed to comprehend a little to see whether this secret manual was powerful or not.
This secret manual must be quite powerful for Li Qianqiu to take a fancy to it.
"Here, I've analyzed it all. Take it!"
After Tang Yan took it, he left immediately.
He did not say goodbye or thank you.
When he saved the Count's wife, Su Peipei, he did not need anyone's thanks.
Even now, he did not know that something had happened to the Jin Hai Count House.
"Hold on!" Shen Lang said, "Let me give you a set of clothes."
Tang Yan was stunned and nodded. "Okay!"
A moment later, Tang Yan put on the clothes Shen Lang gave him.
This clothes was so strange. Why did it cover his face?
Tang Yan left!
Su Peipei said, "The experts from the Black Water Platform will definitely find him. Will they send people to catch him?"
Shen Lang shook his head. "No, they won't. When it comes to Tang Yan, no one will be fooled. If the warriors from the Black Water Platform go to catch him, they will be treated as robbers. Won't they be wronged? "
Su Peipei said, "Didn't you tell him to go to Sky-sea Pavilion?"
Shen Lang said, "He won't go. Other than Li Qianqiu, he won't listen to anyone. He will definitely go to Sword Island. But I left a letter for Senior Sword King, asking him to send Tang Yan to Sky-sea Pavilion to avoid trouble. "
Looking at Tang Yan's disappearing figure, Su Peipei said, "I don't know why, but when I see Tang Yan's figure, I suddenly think of Jin Mucong."
Shen Lang was stunned. "Me too."
Madam Count said, "It's been more than a month. I almost forgot about him."
Ugh!
Madam Count said, "Lang'Er, what does the Monarch mean? I really don't understand. "
Shen Lang also sighed.
This monarch was really temperamental, and he was too good at causing trouble.
Madam Count said, "When will he give us a decree? When will he bestow the Raging Tide City to us? Only then will it be considered a success and the dust will settle! "
Shen Lang said, "Soon!"
But this Monarch was really hard to guess!
… …
Zhang Family's old residence.
Zhang Chong had stepped down from his position as the governor and was about to enter the capital as the Right Physician of the Censorate.
Almost all the officials of Nujiang Prefecture were present to see him off.
All the officials shed tears to express their reluctance.
Countless flattery flew.
Zhang Chong was like a fresh flower blooming in brocade, adding oil to a raging fire.
Too red.
Too hot!
It was like a golden path in front of him.
Many officials had even changed the way they addressed him in advance.
Those with some integrity would still be called Doctor Zhang.
Those without integrity would directly call him Governor Zhang.
Because in their opinion, the so-called Right Physician of the Censorate was completely a transitional position. The position of Yanzhou's Governor was already in the bag.
Zhang Chong also smiled and accepted everyone's flattery.
When he was the governor, he rarely smiled and never accepted invitations to banquets. He was a cold-faced official.
But now, it was rare for him to be so affectionate.
Therefore, many officials were even more excited. They even called him Department Zhang.
That meant that from now on, everyone was a political group.
We are all officials of the Zhang Department. We will follow Lord Zhang's lead.
Zhang Chong smiled and did not refute!
After midnight, the banquet ended.
Everyone left!
Zhang Chong came to the backyard and came to the memorial tablet of his beloved son, Zhang Jin.
His back was bent.
All smiles disappeared.
After a while, Zhang Chong let out a beast-like roar.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"I, Zhang Chong, am loyal and devoted. Why are you doing this to me?"
…
The next day, Zhang Chong rushed to the capital to take office!
He had not arrived yet.
Someone from the Censorate submitted a memorial.
Zhang Chong had embezzled a huge amount of money.
The Monarch ordered a thorough investigation.
Sure enough, it was found that Zhang Chong had embezzled tens of thousands of gold coins when he was the governor of Nujiang.
The Monarch was furious!
Zhang Chong had not yet taken office and was directly arrested by the Supreme Court!
He was escorted to the capital!
