Chapter 154 A Gentleman Does Not Stand Under a Dangerous Wall

During this period, as Shen Qing killed the tiger demon and shot the rice gang leader to death, Shen Qing unknowingly gained a certain reputation in the county.

Under the banner of Shen Qing, Tian Xiaohu also made many friends in the county, so it was very convenient for him to get information.

It took almost half a day for Tian Xiaohu to have an overview of many things happening in the inner city.

"Are you saying that the Zhou family is not only selling off their assets in the city, but is also preparing carriages and horses to evacuate Taiping County?"

Shen Qing was sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the living room, listening to the news brought by Tian Xiaohu.

Tian Xiaohu nodded and said, "I have a friend who often goes out to the Zhou family. He said that everyone in the Zhou family is now packing their luggage, and dismissing some servants who are unwilling to follow is a sign of evacuation."

"Where are they going?"

"The county seat is Yongzhou."

Shen Qing was deep in thought. He frowned and put his hands on the table. He tapped his fingers on the table in turn, making a rhythmic sound.

He frowned slightly and asked the question he was most concerned about: "The Zhou family was in good order before, why did they suddenly go to the county town of Yongcheng? Have you heard about this?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that it seemed that someone from the Zhou family in Yongzhou asked them to move." Tian Xiaohu said truthfully.

"The Zhou family in Yongzhou? What kind of immortality is this?"

Tian Xiaohu asked: "Qingzi, do you know the Thirteen Giants in Yongzhou?"

"I don't know. What can you say?"

"I heard that in the county town of Yongzhou, there are thirteen high-ranking sects who control thirteen industries. Even the county government is theirs and they have ignored them. The Zhou family is one of them, and I heard it is still the most powerful. One family, the innate ancestor of the family is in charge.”

Tian Xiaohu leaned against Shen Qing and continued: "The Zhou family in Taiping County is a branch of the Zhou family in Yongzhou, and the owner Zhou Dingwen is the son of this ancestor's concubine."

After hearing this, Shen Qing said: "Does this mean that someone from my family will let Zhou Dingwen, the branch family, return?"

"Probably."

Shen Qing stood up, took steps, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he shook his head and said: "No, no. If I were Zhou Dingwen, I would definitely not agree to my family's return. I have everything I want here. Isn't it better to be a local emperor? I won't say anything when I go back, and I will still have to pay for it. Looking at other people's faces is simply asking for trouble. Only people with a weak brain will agree, unless..."

Tian Xiaohu replied: "Unless what? Is Zhou Dingwen really out of his mind?"

Shen Qing glanced at Tian Xiaohu and said: "Unless he stays in Taiping County, it is more terrible than having nothing."

"ah?"

What could be more terrifying than this?

At this moment, Shen Qing couldn't help but think about Tang Wanrou.

Now at this special moment, Huangtian Sect's Fangjun saints appeared outside the city and obtained the crossbows from the county army's arsenal.

There is a great possibility that Huang Tianjiao wants to attack Taiping County.

Shen Qing's whole body was shaken, and suddenly the more he thought about it, the more he felt like this.

Only when Huang Tianjiao attacked the city and started a war in Taiping County would Zhou Dingwen be so frightened.

Huang Tianjiao is a real rebel, they are all Guizhou leaders. Once they take over Taiping County, they will definitely take action on their rich bosses.

At that time, it would not be a matter of having nothing, but that his life would be in danger. Only then would Zhou Dingwen have the motive to leave Taiping County.

Shen Qing's face suddenly became serious.

"Besides the Zhou family, has anything else happened in the county recently?"

Tian Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "In addition to the Zhou family, the Song family is also a little abnormal."

"What happened to them?"

"Before Song Gongming died, other families were anxious to divide the Song family's property. The Song family also tried their best to resist, but these days the Song family has been very honest and showed no resistance at all."

"Did you accept your fate, or did you find someone to support you and endure it?"

Shen Qing didn't know why, but he related the changes in the Song family at this time to Huang Tianjiao, and always felt that the two were somewhat related.

"The Taiping Escort Bureau in the inner city also went bankrupt and was dissolved. There is no news about Escort Tang and his family. They think they have left the county." Tian Xiaohu said casually.

Shen Qing was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel disgusted with the county magistrate Du Yuntong.

If it doesn't go as he expected, the back of the Taiping Escort Agency should be his handiwork.

The tiger demon was used to eliminate dissidents and weaken the strength of the county's martial arts.

If you encounter problems, you will just cover them up.

If Huang Tianjiao really attacked the county town as he expected, Shen Qing would not have the slightest confidence in such a county magistrate.

"That's all I've heard about."

Shen Qing stood at the door. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. He turned around and said, "Xiao Hu, do you have any intention of going to the county town?"

"Going to the county town?"

"Yes." Shen Qing did not hide anything and said calmly: "I feel that I can't stay in this county anymore and want to change places."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

He saw that Huang Tianjiao was not a kind person. Since he already knew that Huang Tianjiao was going to attack Taiping County, it would be unwise to stay here any longer.

It happened that he had the appointment document of Yongzhou Military and Horse Division in his hand, and when he went there, he happened to enter the imperial court to obtain higher martial arts, so as to strengthen himself.

Now that he is in troubled times, he must keep climbing up if he does not advance or retreat when sailing against the current.

Otherwise, life is in danger at every turn.

I don’t even know how I died.

When Tian Xiaohu heard Shen Qing's words, his face was full of surprise and he didn't quite understand.

It took less than half a year to move from Hongshan Village to the outer city, and then from the outer city to the inner city.

Now that he has settled down and is going to a new place again, he just thinks Shen Qing is too troublesome.

However, when Tian Xiaohu recalled what Shen Qing did, almost every choice he made was correct.

He decided to follow Shen Qing that day, and he should believe in his choice.

Tian Xiaohu agreed after a little consideration.

"At home, I eat enough and the whole family is not hungry, so I don't have any worries. Qingzi, I will go wherever you say."

Shen Qing said: "Then you go back and pack up, and keep an eye on the Zhou family. If they leave, we will leave."

"Okay."

After Tian Xiaohu left, Shen Qing went straight to Linfeng Hall without delay.

Although many of the current judgments are his guesses, he is 70% sure in his heart.

It is reasonable to inform the hall master uncle.

If he is willing, he can leave together. If not, he has fulfilled his obligations as a disciple.

Probably influenced by Shen Qing.

Now, many new people have come to Linfeng Hall to practice martial arts again, and the outer courtyard has become prosperous again.

When Shen Qing found Li Linfeng, he was having a small gathering with some old friends in the backyard.

Seeing Shen Qing's figure, Li Linfeng intentionally or unintentionally ended the gathering early, and then walked to Shen Qing's side and said, "Let's go to the study."

"Okay."

Li Linfeng knew that he had some skills, and he also saw that Shen Qing's strength was now stronger than when he was young, so his attitude had also changed a little, and he was not as arrogant as before.

After walking to the study, he gave Shen Qing a seat and talked to each other on an equal footing.

However, Shen Qing still held the disciple's etiquette, which made Li Linfeng have a very good impression of Shen Qing.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Qing said straight to the point: "Master, I feel that the inner city is a little uneasy these two days. I want to go to the county city Yongzhou. I wonder if Master has any ideas?"

"You also found it?"

What do you mean by also? Shen Qing was very surprised.

There is another chapter later.
