"This feeling is really strange!"
On the cloud bed, Wu Ming touched the dustless robe in his hands. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was comfortable and comfortable.
He looked outside again. "Compared to last time, the flow of time seems to have changed … Is it normal, or did it change after I joined?"
"But since this is the case, I can make up for it with the excuse of cultivating in seclusion!"
Wu Ming closed his eyes. In an instant, his face glowed. The vital energy in his body filled his limbs, and the acupoints in his body returned to their original state. He had achieved an Innate Body.
"Now that my spirit has broken through, it is easy for my body to follow up … After all, I have been stuck at this stage for a long time!"
Wu Ming smiled. In his sea of consciousness, a light screen appeared:
[Reincarnator Serial Number: Geng Shen 69]
[Name: Wu Ming]
[Cultivation: Sixth Tier Innate Body Stage]
[Equipment: Black Gold Hoop, Dustless Robe]
[Title: Chief God's Apostle]
"Sigh … I have to bring the Black Gold Hoop. I can only bring this out first …"
Wu Ming looked at the dharma robe on his body and smiled bitterly. "A middle-grade dharma artifact cost me 60 small merit points. After this, 110 small merit points will be gone. If any Reincarnator were to resell it, he would definitely suffer a huge loss!"
After thinking for a while, he put on a large robe to cover the dustless robe. Then, he walked out calmly.
"Young Master Ming!"
Two dignified, sensible, and well-mannered girls bowed immediately. They had been waiting for a long time.
"What time is it now?"
Wu Ming felt the glaring sunlight and squinted his eyes.
"Since Young Master went into seclusion, it has been a night and half a day. In less than an hour, it will be noon!"
The maidservant said softly. A hint of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes.
In their eyes, their Young Master seemed to have changed after one night. His skin had become even more exquisite, like the finest porcelain, and his dark eyes carried an unfathomable feeling.
"Yes, instruct the chef to prepare. I want to eat!"
Wu Ming raised his hand.
Under the sunlight, his palm was white and flawless. Even some of the calluses and dead skin had completely disappeared.
When martial arts reached the Connate level, returning to the origin would have such an effect.
Lunch was quickly served. There were three meat dishes and three vegetables, plus a bowl of soup. Everything looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. Wu Ming ate in big mouthfuls.
In the past, that foppish playboy would always be in a mess. Naturally, he would not be so wasteful. But now that he was focusing on martial arts, the amount of food was just right.
"Young master Ming!"
At this moment, Manager Wu came in, and when he saw Wu Ming sweeping away everything like a whirlwind, yet didn't seem to be lacking in manners, he praised in his heart.
Ever since the last incident, this Young Master had become much more enlightened. Not only did his martial talent cause Instructor Feng to praise him endlessly, even his conduct and treatment of others had improved greatly. This caused Instructor Feng's loyalty to him to rise a little.
After all, only by following such a master would there be hope for the future.
In this era, the children of the Wu Family had been servants of the Wu Family for several generations. Their fates were intertwined with that of the Wu Family. They were bound together for good or bad.
"What happened?"
When Wu Ming saw Manager Wu's somewhat anxious expression, his heart skipped a beat.
It had to be said that although this person was extremely vicious to the outside world, he was still a good lackey. After the incident with Lin Qi, he recovered from his injuries and went out to work. He had done a good job, and in this autumn's harvest, he had made outstanding contributions.
Now that he had become like this, of course, there was something wrong.
"There was a murder case in Bluestone Village, and the main culprit was a side branch of the Wu Family. There was even a scandal …"
Manager Wu's face turned red and white. He immediately said.
"What does this have to do with me …"
Wu Ming was stunned halfway through his words. It really had something to do with him!
This world was Dazhou. He had also heard that he was in a village in Chu Feng County, Cloud Ping County. This village governed three villages, and the Wu Family had a fort as the center. They occupied two thousand acres of land, and were truly a giant.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a patrol office in the county town, which was in charge of robbers. There was also a patrol office in the village, which was listed as an official.
However, even in Cloud Ping County, the Wu Family was quite influential. They were first-class tycoons. According to the unspoken rules, although the patrol office was in the patrol office, as usual, the Wu Family sent someone to take up the post.
He remembered that the playboy was heartless. He seemed to have casually thrown the post to Feng Han's previous martial arts instructor. After that, the instructor was killed by Lin Qi. Of course, the family of the Wu Family gave him all kinds of compensation and even rewarded him with a few acres of land. However, the post of the patrol office was taken back. Wu Ming had not decided who to give it to.
Now that such a matter had happened, the patrol office naturally had to step in.
Needless to say, there was also the side branch of the Wu Family.
In ancient times, the current Wu Ming was the head of the Wu Family. Even if there was a problem within the family, they had to open their own ancestral hall and deal with it according to the family rules.
"In Ancient D County, the rule over the villages was weak. It was all based on the clan's autonomy. That was why they had to pay attention to 'filial piety' and kill people according to the rules …"
When Wu Ming thought of this, his heart turned cold.
What did two thousand acres of land mean? The entire Cloud Ping County only had three hundred thousand acres of land. This was almost one percent of the total land.
With this land, as long as there was no particularly severe drought or flood, they would be able to earn a few thousand taels of silver every year. It was an unshakable harvest. They would not need to worry about managing it. This was the foundation of a family's rise!
The Wu Family siblings did not have close relatives. They only had a few distant branches. How could they protect this land?
At this moment, he knocked his head and remembered that the Wu Family used to be a small landlord with a hundred acres of land.
It was only when Wu Qing became famous and entered the Dao Academy that she was exempted from taxes. Many people sent their land to her, which was how the land grew to its current size of two thousand acres.
In fact, if it was not for the fact that she was a new Squire and that the previous playboy was a bit of a prodigal, the land might have been three thousand acres!
"Damn … I didn't expect Sister Wu Qing to be so powerful! Her position is almost equivalent to that of a Juren … "
Wu Ming thought to himself. He then turned to Butler Wu and said, "Just as well … Don't Green Stone Village have some unfinished accounts? Gather a few men, let's go take a look! "
Previously, he had been holed up for the main Deity's Hall mission. Now that he had successfully completed it, Wu Ming had nothing to do.
"Yes, Master!"
Housekeeper Wu immediately bowed and went to call someone. Wu Ming looked at Housekeeper Wu's back, but he didn't know why his heart palpitated.
"I feel a little flustered. Could it be the Sudden Inspiration of a martial artist? What a joke … I'm in a Dazhou world. What else can happen to me? "
Although he said that, Wu Ming's eyes still turned gloomy. "Men! Call Master Feng Han and Feng Feng over! "
A Xiantian martial artist would condense the zhenqi in their body and return to their Xiantian state. Basically, they would not be affected by worldly diseases and would not feel fearful for no reason.
When Wu Ming saw that his subordinates had gone to report the news, he calmed down and laughed. "I'm really … afraid of death!"
…
"It's done!"
Seeing the seven riders emerging from the fort, the eyes of the person who had been watching outside the fort flashed and he secretly released a gray sparrow.
This gray sparrow was inconspicuous. It flapped its wings and flew through the air before landing on the shoulder of another person.
"Daoist Qingping, has the son of the Wu family come out?"
The eyes of the person beside him lit up when he saw the gray sparrow perched on the Daoist Qingping's shoulder.
It was the two people who had been waiting outside the Wu family fort!
"Of course! The person I arranged has seen the son of the Wu family before. He is a meticulous person and will definitely recognize him! "
Daoist Qingping's eyes seemed to emit a fire. "Deacon Yu, we'll act according to plan!"
"Good! I wish Daoist Zhang success! "
Steward Yu cupped his hands and smiled. He was very confident in the Daoist Qingping.
…
"Green Stone Village!"
Naturally, Wu Ming didn't know about this. He brought Steward Wu, Feng Han, and four strong servants to Bluestone Village.
"Young Master Wu is here!"
As soon as they entered the village, a few village elders were waiting with humble expressions on their faces.
They had to be humble. Half of the village was made up of other people's tenants. How could they be strong?
"Where is he? I'll go and see him! "
Wu Ming dismounted and walked to a tile-roofed house in the east of the village.
The courtyard was not big. The ground was made of terrazzo bricks and the windows were wide and bright. There was even a small grain-sunning ground. For a village, this was practically a mansion.
"Currently, the main branch of the Wu Clan only consists of Wu Qing and Wu Ming... The rest of the Wu Clan members are from the side branches, and their branches are scattered across the surrounding villages. I heard that in the beginning, Wu Qing disliked them due to the issue of the land..."
If they were the real core members, they would have gone to the fort long ago.
After all, in a fort, there were granaries, warehouses, mills, blacksmiths, livestock houses, and even doctors. It was like a small kingdom. What was more rare was that it was safe. It was almost comparable to a county town.
But now, other than Wu Ming and Wu Qing, most of the people living there were servants, servants, and the most loyal tenants, which could be seen from this.
'Just that … even though they are distant relatives, such a thing has still affected the reputation of my family …'
Wu Ming frowned and went to the main house to take a look.
"The crime happened there. No one dared to touch it!"
A village elder said respectfully. He opened the curtain, and Wu Ming took a look. Two corpses, one old and one young, were hastily collected and covered with mats. There was a puddle of black blood on the ground.
One of the corpses of the old man looked familiar. In his memory, this person seemed to be a distant uncle of his. Back then, he had also set his sights on the hundreds of acres of fertile land in the family. Now that he saw it, he felt disgusted.
Of course, this was not the time to be thinking about this.
Wu Ming's ears twitched, and a faint voice sounded from outside. "I heard that the father-in-law was digging his ashes, but he was caught by his son. It immediately became a murder case …"
"Sigh … two lives! I've seen Madam Dong before. Her eyes are seductive, and her face is full of peach blossoms. She is indeed a source of trouble! "
"It's the misfortune of the family to have such a vile spawn … Most importantly, he committed suicide in the end. At least he had some conscience …"
…
Regardless of the relationship between the two families, this incident would definitely affect the Wu family. At this moment, Wu Ming's face suddenly darkened.
"Oh no! Madam Dong hanged herself! "
At this moment, another old maid cried out in panic, causing Wu Ming's face to darken even more.
