Chapter 150 Wuzhai
Three days later, Feng Jiang entered the boundary of Yizhou, which belongs to Hanzhong County.

Feng Jiang hardly stopped on the road, traveling both night and day.

At this time, Saint Academy must have taken action. He must rush to Yizhou as soon as possible, so that he can feel the changes in the situation in Yizhou at close range.

In particular, some changes in the gathering places of the Miao people are what Feng Jiang needs to focus on.

The county seat of Nanzheng County, where Hanzhong County is located.

Feng Jiang came all the way, and he paid more attention to the news of the Miao people.

Especially when in the restaurant, the tippers who donate more than ten or twenty words to the shop almost know everything. Although some things may be exaggerated and hearsay, it also made Feng Jiang feel different about the Miao people in Yizhou. little awareness.

If I was still confused when I was in Chang'an, now some of the situation in Yizhou has become clearer.

"Spicy enough." Feng Jiang grinned.

After entering Yizhou, the diet has changed a lot.

If you want to find something light, you can't get it. The locals really like spicy food.

Now Feng Jiang has a lot of money, so he doesn't have to worry about not having enough money.

Although he was in a hurry along the way, Feng Jiang was not stingy when it came to eating and drinking, and he couldn't treat himself badly.

Sitting in the restaurant, having a drink or two, I was sorting out what I had seen and heard along the way in my mind.

There are quite a few gathering places of the Miao people in Yizhou, but there are a few big ones that are well known.

Mainly the five major Miao villages, which are the five major surnames of the Miao nationality, namely Shu, Kua, Meng, He and Wu.

As for others, there are also some scattered Miao villages, if not a thousand, there are hundreds.

These are regarded as independent, and they are not willing to allow foreigners to enter their territory.

If you enter by force, you will probably die.

The Han people in Yizhou generally know these rules, as long as they don't cross the border, these Miao villages will keep their own.

The local government almost turned a blind eye, and the Miao Village has its own leader, who is just reporting to the government, and the government can't control the other side.

As long as these Miao villages don't make noise, everything will be fine.

In addition to these Miao villages that are still independent, in fact, more Miao people have integrated into the Han people.

They may still retain some customs of the Miao nationality, but they have blended with the Han people in terms of living expenses, and it is difficult to distinguish them from each other.

They even have some Chinese surnames corresponding to their own, and they actively integrate into it.

Compared with those independent Miao villages, the lives of these Miao people are better.

Is it the art of poison?
Whenever people talk about those Miao villages, this word will appear, which is daunting.

It is said that they are proficient in the art of Gu poison, unless they are the poisoners, there is no solution, and the end is extremely miserable.

The people in Yizhou are very afraid of this, and they don't associate with those people in Miao Village.

Feng Jiang knew a little about these things.

In fact, it is a special method of using poison.

There are countless strange poisons in the world, and similarly, the methods of poisoning are also changing, making it hard to guard against.

Miao Village's Gu poison technique is one of the most famous ones.

It's not that there is no cure for all Gu poison techniques, it can only be said that some top-quality Gu poisons are really difficult to deal with, and even the person who poisoned them may not have a way to dissolve them.

In Hanzhong County, there is no gathering place for Miao villages with five surnames. The five villages are basically distributed in the central part of Yizhou, southwest and several counties in the south. Feng Jiang has to continue to go south.

"Guest officer, the small one has been marked." The waiter respectfully put a map on Feng Jiang's table.

Feng Jiang glanced at it. It was a map of Yizhou with five black circles drawn on it.

"Guest officer, Wuzhai in Shu County, Wuzhai is the first among the five Miao villages, and Shuzhai in Bajun can be ranked second. There is basically no disagreement about the ranking of the two. The remaining three villages are similar in strength and difficult to distinguish. Bozhong. Kuazhai in Yuejuan County in the south of Shu County, Hezhai in Zangcang County in the south of Ba County, and finally Mengzhai in Yizhou County in the south."

Listening to Xiao Er's narration, Feng Jiang nodded secretly.

Combined with the map, he has a more intuitive understanding of these.

Chengdu City in Shu County is the seat of Yizhou Prefecture's pastoral government, and its status is extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, Wuzhai here is also the number one force in the five major Miao villages, which is a bit surprising.

Feng Jiang put away the map. This map is actually very rough. It was bought by the waiter outside the shop, that is to say, the names of some counties and counties are marked, and the others are basically blank, that is, some lines are connected to act as officials. road.

"These positions shouldn't be wrong, right?"

He was sitting in a corner, but no one noticed him.

It's best to keep a low profile when inquiring about these news by yourself, after all, the authentic forces of various Daoming families are already in Yizhou.

"Guest officer, don't worry, I'm dissatisfied with you saying that the younger one is actually a Miao nationality, but his ancestors have long been mixed with the Han people, but I can assure you that I still know the Miao village very well." The waiter patted his chest and assured.

"Not bad." Feng Jiang put a piece of silver on the table, "Your reward."

"Thank you, guest officer, thank you very much." The waiter hurriedly grabbed the silver in his hand.

One tael of silver was worth two months' wages.

"What's the latest news?"

"Why not? I heard that the disaster victims in Shu County are making trouble, and they all headed towards Chengdu. This is because they want to let Master Zhou make the decision."

"Hey, this famine is the most serious in Shu County. I dare not say that there are ten rooms and nine empty houses. Half of the people in a village escaped to find a way to survive. But how many people will survive in the end?"

"Is there no other news other than these? There are victims of disasters all day long. It sounds like a panic. Is there no good news for everyone to relieve their mood?"

"There is no good news, but I have heard one thing. If it is true, it will be terrible."

"What news? Let's hear it."

Feng Jiang was amused. This guy was playing hard to get, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

The news from people like this is basically unreliable, this is Feng Jiang's judgment.

The world is full of people who like to show off, and they enjoy the feeling of being held up.

"Hey, lucky you guys, I overheard this too."

"Hey, if you want to talk, hurry up, don't keep it up."

"Hmph, what's the rush?" After saying that, he immediately went on to say, "Something happened in Wuzhai."

"What Wuzhai?"

"Hey~~ Look at what you asked, are you from outside?" He glanced at the person who asked the question, "I won't explain what Wuzhai is, you can ask your friends beside you."

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"It is said that many people died in Wuzhai."

"Huh? Could it be that Wuzhai has internal strife? No, Wuzhai, oh no, the five villages are all united, so it is unlikely that such a thing will happen."

"You're right, it's true that the five villages are united, but what if outsiders break in and cause massacres?" He chuckled.

"You mean there are some masters of the rivers and lakes breaking in?" A middle-aged man asked.

"Does it need to be said? He must be a master." He said affirmatively, "It is said that nearly a thousand people were killed and injured in Wuzhai, and countless houses were burned."

"Nonsense." An old man in his sixties said, "What kind of power is Wuzhai? How can it be so easy to bully?"

"Hmph, old man, I don't want to argue with you. Anyway, that's what I heard."

"Young people, don't listen to the wind and the rain. You must have your own judgment and ideas." The old man said coldly, "But I don't blame you. You are still young, only in your 30s? That happened more than 50 years ago. The old man was still a young man in his twenties back then."

"Old man, what do you want to say? What happened in Wuzhai is related to what happened more than 50 years ago?"

"Yup?"

Many people around asked questions.

"Rely on the old and sell the old." The young man who spoke just now was very annoyed.

It was originally a moment for him to enjoy himself, but he didn't expect an old man to jump out and steal his limelight.

"More than 50 years ago, there was a fierce conflict between the Bashan School and Wuzhai. Here I want to mention that the Bashan School 50 years ago was a serious and famous school, not the peerless school today. Conflict, the Bashan faction including the head, the elders, and the elders are almost dead. You will say, how is it possible? The fact is that it is the case. Wuzhai surrounded the Bashan faction, and finally the Bashan faction escaped. Well, since then a famous sect has fallen like this. Frightened by the strength of Wuzhai, this matter is rarely rumored, and even if it is mentioned, it is generally said that the Bashan sect offended people, resulting in the sect being almost wiped out."

"Really? But you are not afraid of offending Wuzhai if you say it now?"

"It's been so many years, what's the point of talking about it?" The old man said indifferently, "The old man said this to tell you that Wuzhai is so powerful that you can't imagine it. Young people, you want to trouble Wuzhai , then you have to weigh it, whether you have the strength of a famous sect."

"Whatever you say." The young man who spoke just now said angrily, "It's been so many years, who knows if Wuzhai is still as strong as it is, and ah, can't it be stronger than the Bashan faction The sect made a move?"

"Young people, the salt that old men eat~~"

"Bah, believe it or not."

"Haha~~ It seems that Wuzhai is really amazing."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Wuzhai has existed for so long, how many generations have passed since the Central Plains dynasty changed, and they still stand, how can it be normal?"

"It is."

Feng Jiang frowned slightly.

It seems that the strength of Wuzhai and other four villages should not be underestimated.

However, the Nabashan faction is only a famous faction after all, and it is different from the faction that made the move this time.

This time, various famous and authentic sects took action. The quality of the masters among them is worlds apart. Can Wuzhai really resist?
"Xiaoer, who do you think is right?" Feng Jiang asked.

"Of course it's the old man." The waiter in the shop whispered, "My grandfather mentioned that matter to us in private, but we juniors are not allowed to spread it to the outside world. In fact, some big sects in Yizhou basically I still know it, so I don’t want to provoke Wuzhai, lest I follow in the footsteps of the Bashan sect.”

Feng Jiang nodded secretly.

The waiter left, and Feng Jiang couldn't help but look at the drunk guy.

Feng Jiang was amused, but this guy was extremely depressed.

Everyone here should not believe his words.

To be honest, Feng Jiang felt that this person was a sensationalist at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said might be true.

"This dude doesn't mind saying something, right?" Feng Jiang walked to his table with a flagon and asked with a smile.

Although it was a question, the person sat down directly opposite him.

Anger appeared on this person's face, and he was in a bad mood at first, so where did the guy come to talk to him?

Have you promised yourself?

"Huh? Good wine." But his expression soon eased, and the aroma of the wine in the glass attracted him.

Feng Jiang filled his empty wine glass with wine, which was the pot of wine he brought over.

Since he is not short of money now, the cost of food and drink is the best, so the wine is naturally the most expensive in the restaurant.

He saw that this person's wine was mediocre, which was considered to be of a lower-medium grade in restaurants. In many cases, wine can quickly bring the relationship between the two parties closer. Even strangers can get acquainted with each other after just one meal.

"Full up." Feng Jiang filled him up again.

"Haha~~ Little brother is really bold, one pot of such good wine is worth a hundred pots of old brother."

"I just feel that the old man is very hit-and-miss." Feng Jiang smiled, and put the jug directly on his side, "Xiao Er, have another jug."

"Little brother, I don't know what you want to ask? Could it be the incident just now?"

"That's right, my little brother wants to hear more details." Feng Jiang nodded and said, the other party was not a fool, he knew he had a purpose.

"Look, who would believe it?" He motioned Feng Jiang to look at the guests around him. Since he was disturbed by the old man, no one paid attention to him.

"I don't care about others, I'm just curious about what the old man said just now." Feng Jiang said with a smile, "So something really happened in Wuzhai?"

Seeing the other party's face darken, Feng Jiang couldn't help but hastily smiled and said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's because Wuzhai has long been famous in Yizhou. I heard that even the local government can't control it."

"You're right." The man's face brightened a bit, "I'm dissatisfied with you saying that some business in my brother's family has contacts with Wuzhai~~ Don't believe me, although Wuzhai is not big and we Han people But some things are still needed, such as tea from other places, porcelain, etc., in exchange for some special medicinal materials in Wuzhai.”

Feng Jiang nodded, completely isolating contact with outsiders is obviously unrealistic.

"It's also because of this relationship. Brother, I know a lot more about Wuzhai than the average person. The delivery date agreed a few days ago, but Wuzhai failed to deliver on time. He didn't hide his anger, he just said a few words, probably because something big happened in Wuzhai and many people died. Since he said it was a big thing, there must be a lot of people died. Cough~~"

Seeing Feng Jiang staring at him all the time, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he said this: "Actually~~ the thousand casualties I said just now are nonsense, that person didn't specify the number of people. However, there must be hundreds of casualties, otherwise he It won’t be said that something happened. And these dead people must have something to do with people outside, otherwise they wouldn’t be so angry.”

"So that's the case." Feng Jiang sighed.

"Little brother, your accent sounds like a foreigner, um, it seems to be from the east, south of the Yangtze River?"

"Brother, you are really knowledgeable. My younger brother is from Wujun, Yangzhou." Feng Jiang praised.

"Haha~~My brother's family is a merchant, and he has many contacts with merchants from other places, but I have met some people from your side. I wonder if the little brother came to Yizhou?"

"To be honest, brother, I came to Yizhou this time to find a way to do business."

"Oh? What business? I'm a local, and I'm familiar with everything. If necessary, I can help."

The goods from the south of the Yangtze River are very popular in Yizhou. If they can make some connections, the money will be rolling in.

Especially when he saw this one, he was young, but the food and drink were first-class, so he still had this kind of vision.

Although my family is also in business, but my father's management was not good a few years ago, and he lost almost all of his savings for decades in a few big losses, otherwise he would not drink this ordinary wine.

Of course, this restaurant is the best home in the city, even if it is ordinary wine, most people can't afford it.
