End of Chapter 24
An hour later, Feng Xiu returned to the Feng residence, soaked to the bone.
In the main hall, Feng Ao and Zheng Bo were discussing something when they saw him carrying something, and they both stood up.
"Young Master, how is it?" Uncle Zheng greeted him.
Feng Xiu didn't say anything, and simply threw the strange fish's corpse on the ground.
As the bundle unfurled, Zheng Bo's pupils instantly contracted.
Feng Ao's expression was solemn.
"This is..." Uncle Zheng gasped, his voice hoarse.
Then, Feng Xiu recounted his experiences in the dense forest and the details of the scale.
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
After a long pause, Zheng Bo finally spoke, his face pale, "Does such a thing really exist in this world?"
Feng Xiu shook his head. "Whether such a thing exists or not is not important. What's important is that I killed it."
The first battle after practicing martial arts, although there were occasional bumps along the way.
But the result was good; Qi and Blood Martial Arts can deal with this kind of thing!
Feng Ao was also somewhat shocked, but he was mostly looking at Feng Xiu, a complex sense of relief flashing in his eyes.
"Father, you've never seen anything like this before?" Feng Xiu asked.
Feng Ao shook his head, "We martial artists have abundant blood and qi, and the most yang energy. I have heard of ghosts and other supernatural beings, and I have killed quite a few of them."
"But this is the first time I've ever seen this thing before."
Feng Xiu remained silent.
At this moment, Feng Ao slowly added, "However, since we can kill, there's no need to be afraid."
"Since he came looking for Shouzhuo, this doesn't make sense." At this moment, Zheng Bo frowned and asked in confusion.
Feng Ao also agreed, after Feng Xiu confirmed the existence of the chain of evidence.
In a sense, this matter has already been settled.
Su Wantang only killed Liu Wenjun, who knew the truth, and only gave the rest of the Feng family members a light punishment.
Su Wantang spared Feng Shouzhuo, and not only that, she also helped him recover his health.
"If you wanted to kill, you would have done it long ago. Why bother?" Feng Ao's tiger-like eyes swept over Feng Xiu.
Neither of them were direct witnesses to the battle, and the information Feng Xiu recounted was far less accurate than the actual events.
Zheng Bo also looked at Feng Xiu. Looking at the whole matter, Feng Xiu had already demonstrated his abilities as the eldest son of the family.
In terms of intellect, he is absolutely no less than Feng Ao.
Feng Xiu remained silent for a while before finally speaking, offering his insightful advice:
"Su Wantang's matter is actually over. Now the target of the Feng family is not her, but the owner of the strange fish in the pond."
"It treats Su Wantang as something or other."
Master, you touched your things. Whose things did Feng Shouzhuo touch?
It goes without saying what is most precious to a woman.
Upon hearing this, the two men instantly understood, and Zheng Bo looked astonished.
Feng Aoqi's temples throbbed!
"You traitor!" Feng Ao said angrily.
"This..." Uncle Zheng didn't know what to say, and sighed softly on his wrinkled face.
As Feng Xiu said, Su Wantang's matter is over. Not provoking her or investigating her is the best solution.
After all, they did show sincerity.
but.
Back then, at the appreciation party inside Xianghua Tower, Feng Shouzhou did indeed infringe upon Su Wantang's reputation.
After going around in circles, everything has returned to square one, facing the romantic entanglements caused by Feng Shouzhuo's lower body.
Su Wantang didn't pursue the matter, but someone wanted to kill him!
At this moment, Feng Xiudao was utterly speechless, unable to describe his feelings, and even laughed in anger.
"So what do we do now?"
Now that things have come to this, we've done everything we could, and there's nothing more that Feng Xiu can do.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ao's eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered, "Uncle Zheng, replace all the servants and guards except for the accountants of each manor."
"Starting today, double the number of patrol personnel in the manor to keep an eye on Shouzhuo and prevent him from wandering off. Also, assign personnel to monitor all the underground channels."
"Third, I will handle the matter of the grain merchants and continue to pressure the River Law Division to make a statement. We should also investigate Su Wantang's matter thoroughly in private, without alerting her."
Feng Ao spoke solemnly, clearing out his spies, testing the River Law Division, and protecting Shou Zhuo.
The series of arrangements were well-organized, and Zheng Bo nodded solemnly.
Feng Xiu, somewhat belatedly realizing that Feng Ao hadn't mentioned him at all, pressed on, "What about me?"
"You? Wenzheng, you should just focus on practicing your skills and continue playing the role of your great philanthropist."
"it is good."
Feng Xiu did not refute it. In fact, these were things that Feng Ao should have been responsible for, but he kept putting the burden on him.
Now that he said that, Feng Xiu really felt a sense of relief.
"Also, Uncle Zheng, go to the secret room and fetch a box of Blood-Returning Pills."
Feng Ao originally only wanted his son to exercise and improve his physical fitness. Since he was determined to continue down this path, he couldn't be stingy with his efforts.
When Feng Ao saw the strange fish corpse, he was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
"You must break through to the Body Refinement Realm within three months!" he said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Zheng Bo.
The latter looked surprised, then nodded in agreement.
"Blood-Returning Pill?" Feng Xiu was stunned.
"Young Master, this Blood Rejuvenation Pill is an invaluable treasure. Back then, the Patriarch relied on it to gather his strength and break through to the Divine罡 Realm."
Seeing that Feng Xiu was confused, Zheng Bo offered an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiu couldn't help but feel a little excited. Anything that Feng Ao treasured must have an extraordinary origin.
After calming himself down, he steered the conversation back to the present, "Father, in your opinion, does the River Law Enforcement Bureau know about this matter?"
After listening, Feng Ao fell into a long silence.
"I don't know, but it's best not to know. My Feng family controls the River Laws, sigh~"
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Ao let out a rare sigh, and Uncle Zheng also brought up a past event at the appropriate moment.
"Young Master, you may not know this, but the River Law Pass was obtained by the Patriarch after years of planning and cultivating countless connections. If the Patriarch was unaware of this..."
He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was clear.
Either He Lusi concealed it very well, or they really didn't know.
"In any case, the subsequent irrigation will require the reservoir to be opened. We'll see then." Feng Ao let out a long sigh and couldn't help but rub his temples.
...
...
The successful completion of the Ganlin Grand Ceremony brought an end to the sweltering heat, and the people cheered with joy.
Every household is chanting praises of Young Master Feng's benevolence and righteousness, and the legendary Taoist master Huanglong's profound Taoist magic, and the fervor continues unabated.
The price of grain, which had been rising, also dropped. After the Ganlin Grand Ceremony, the spring planting season seemed to begin seamlessly, giving people hope and making everyone live in harmony.
But in private, the grain merchant families, led by the Feng family, were not prepared to let the River Law Enforcement Bureau off the hook.
Four days later.
Feng Ao, along with the Lin, Zhou, Zhao, Wang, and other large and small families, jointly pressured the River Law Bureau, giving a very simple reason.
If rain failed to come during the Ganlin Grand Ceremony, given the level of agitation among the people at the time, it would be no less than igniting a full-blown peasant uprising.
The demands from each party were quite simple: the River Law Office should provide an explanation for the decision not to open the ponds and reservoirs, and establish specific regulations.
The River Law Certificate is a permit for releasing water, and each household pays a fee every year. Now, the actions of the River Law Office are tantamount to rendering it a worthless piece of paper.
He Lusi's response to the heads of these powerful families was quite embarrassing.
Feng Ao struck the right balance, not pushing too hard, and after making a tough stance, he gradually softened his attitude.
The conversation mainly focused on matters concerning the farm, and he did not appear in public much afterward.
Subsequently, the Feng family's guards and the Zhou family's elite escort team were also arranged.
They patrolled the underground channels within the three farms day and night to guard against any possible strange fish creatures.
the other side.
After Zhou Gang woke up, he listened to Feng Xiu recount the events of the past few days and his speculations, and then remained silent for a long time.
They also joined Feng Ao's ranks, and the Beiling Sect used its own people to conduct a private investigation into Su Wantang.
After Feng Ao took over the family affairs, Feng Xiu's cultivation time increased significantly.
At this stage, both Feng Ao and Zhou Gang want Feng Xiu to improve his strength as much as possible.
Therefore, Feng Xiu also enjoyed Zhou Gang's comprehensive guidance and the enormous benefits of the highest degree of family resources being allocated to him.
They became increasingly diligent in their practice.
