Longevity begins with Seven Injuries

Chapter 93 Tang Sect Killer "Greedy Wolf" Comes Out Again!

The first time Su Que heard Ou Tianci's name was not through other martial artists.

Instead, as "Greedy Wolf", he heard the name Ou Tianci during the mission dictated by "Xuan Hu" when he was meeting with Tang Sect killer "Xuan Hu".

He also didn't know what this Ou Tianci had done that someone wanted to pay for his life.

Just as Su Que was thinking, Duan Han whispered next to him:
"Ou Tianci was arranged by people from Ben Leijun's side, not from me. You need to be careful in what you do."

Although, the imperial court regulations stipulate that the prefect is the one who takes charge of everything in the prefecture.

However, the personal force in this world is too strong.

People who have practiced martial arts are much better than those who have not practiced martial arts.

As a result, although this world is similar to the ancient background of Su Que's previous life, the system and social structure in it are quite different from those of the previous life.

In this world, often the army in a prefecture will not accept the control of the prefect, a civil official.

Because it is almost the strongest military force in the whole government, and it is in this army.

Even if the magistrate wrote to the court to complain, the speed of writing was slow.

If this matter is revealed, the martial arts experts in the army can even kill the magistrate and his relatives with only one person.

Even if the prefect invites powerful martial arts experts to serve as bodyguards to protect the courtyard, it may not be as powerful as those in the army.

Ben Leijun refused to accept Duan Han's control.

Not only Li Tunshan, the chief general of the Ben Lei Army, but also some generals below Li Tunshan who are slightly lower than Li Tunshan, all look down on Duan Han, an ordinary person.

As an ordinary person, Duan Han naturally did not dare to fight against Ben Leijun.

On the surface, he still maintains a good relationship with Ben Leijun.

The generals of the Ben Lei Army saw that Duan Han respected them, and they have not dealt with Duan Han yet.

"I see." After hearing Duan Han's words, Su Que said.

Anyway, his idle job will not overlap with Ou Tianci.

As long as you don't see this person in the future, nothing will happen.

After waiting for a while, a man in official uniform walked in, surrounded by several officials and servants.

Su Que looked at his face, and it was somewhat similar to Ou Tianhao who died under his hands.

It seems that this man is Ou Tianhao's brother, Ou Tianci.

It has to be said that practicing martial arts does have a great change in a person's image.

This Ou Tianci looks robust and energetic, much more majestic than the potbellied Duan Han.

"Congratulations to Brother Tianci for taking office!"

Seeing Ou Tianci coming, Duan Han left Su Que's side, with a smile on his face, he walked forward and cupped his hands in congratulations.

Su Que immediately retreated behind the crowd and silently watched those people congratulate Ou Tianci.

He wanted to leave quietly, but there were not many people in the entire government office, if he left halfway, it would be obvious.

If Ou Tianci finds out at that time, he doesn't know if this kid from a rich family will be dissatisfied and what he will do to him.

He just stood there obediently and waited for a while, so as not to have follow-up troubles.

Ou Tianci's face was full of spring breeze, and he responded to everyone's compliments.

After about a stick of incense, after both Ou Tianci and Duan Han had spoken, the crowd dispersed to do their own work.

Su Que went to the clerk's office, assigned tasks to the seven clerks under him, and then left.

……

Ou Tianci and Duan Han were polite for a while, and then asked the governor of the government office to understand the situation of the government office.

This governor was also arranged to come to the government office to become an official through Ben Leijun's channel, and belonged to the same camp as Ou Tianci.

Ou Tianci was sitting on a precious sour wood chair, holding a lustrous jade teacup in his hand.

Inside the teacup is the tea brewed from precious tea leaves, which are exuding wisps of heat, bringing out a refreshing fragrance.

On the coffee table beside Ou Tianci, there is an exquisitely crafted purple gold incense burner, which burns high-quality sandalwood, and wisps of light smoke curl up from the incense burner.

These things were not in the government office, they were all brought by Ou Tianci.

He is not good at martial arts, and his ability to enter the third blood depends on the accumulation of resources.

He was not good at studying, and he was able to obtain fame because of the Ou family who bought the test questions and prepared them in advance.

However, he knows how to enjoy himself and lives a luxurious life.

With his thumb and slender index finger wearing a jade wrench, he was pinching the lid of the teacup with exquisite patterns painted on it.

After touching the tea leaves a few times, he brought the cup to his lips and sipped the tea carefully.

The governor just stood aside, waiting for Ou Tianci to drink tea.

Even facing the magistrate, he would not do this.

After all, the personal and family strength in this world is extremely high.

A person with an official status does not necessarily have the power of a martial arts master or a martial arts family.

Therefore, they do not necessarily have the social status of martial arts masters and martial arts families.

Although the great ancestor of Liang Guo established his country with martial arts, the successive emperors of Liang Guo were all masters of martial arts.

However, when they choose local officials, they still consider those who have the ability to govern, not those with high levels of martial arts.

After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Those who have the ability to govern need more time to study and study, so they have no time to practice martial arts.

In this world, there has never been a person who is number one in civil and martial arts.

Although, with a civil servant as the top leader in the local area, there will be some difficulties with the local military martial arts masters.

However, based on the comprehensive evaluation of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, these disadvantages are better than some martial arts masters who manage the local chaos.

Some civil servants with governance skills naturally also have the ability to build a good relationship with local martial arts masters.

In the southern region, because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the imperial court's supervision force is relatively weak, so the phenomenon of selling officials and nobles is extremely serious.

In the Central Plains, all the states are under the high-handed rule of the imperial court, and there are much fewer selling officials and nobles.

Ou Tianci carefully sipped the tea, put down the teacup, slightly stuck out his tongue, and licked away the drop of tea that stuck to his beard.

Then let the governor continue to talk about the official position in the government office.

The position of Tongzhi is the deputy of the prefect, only one level lower than the prefect.

In order for Ou Tianci to get this position, the Ou family spent a lot of money and lost a lot of connections.

After Ou Tianci got this position, he wanted to help the Ou family earn money.

Part of the wealth will be given to the Ou family, while the other part will be given to the generals who have helped Ben Leijun, including Li Tunshan.

Li Tunshan, as the strongest martial artist recognized by the government, also wants to make money.

After all, Jiannan Mansion is not only the only one with Ben Leijun, but also has the Yang Yang Sect, the White Lotus Sect and other forces.

People from these forces are not low in strength, and each occupies a part of martial arts resources.

If Li Tunshan wanted to snatch it hard, he might be able to snatch it, but he and Ben Leijun would also be seriously injured, and the gain might not be worth the loss.

Therefore, if he lacks resources, he often has to use money to buy them.

Hearing the official position mentioned by the governor, Ou Tianci waved his hand suddenly, telling the governor to stop talking:

"You mean, there are five idle jobs in the government office?"

"Exactly." The governor said.

The five idle jobs he mentioned included Su Que's "research".

Although idle jobs are not important, they can be sold for a good price to some wealthy families who are keen on official status.

It is precisely because the idle job is not important, so if you sell it to some dudes, you don't need to worry about these dudes taking advantage of their official positions to cause disasters.

"Find a reason and dismiss these five idlers." Ou Tianci said to the governor.

"This..." The governor hesitated a little.

"What's wrong?" Ou Tianci turned his head, squinting at the governor.

The governor said: "Among the five idle positions... there are three positions, which were arranged by Duan Han."

"Hmph." Ou Tianci snorted softly, shook his head, then took a leisurely cup of tea, and took another sip of tea.

After he put down the teacup leisurely, he said, "Don't pay attention to Duan Han, just talk to him directly."

"Duan Han is a powerless civil servant after all. He is afraid of my Ou family and Ben Leijun."

Ou Tianci's uncle, Ou Haofeng, was the commander of the Ben Lei Army and a member of Li Tunshan's faction.

That's why Ou Tianci thinks that Ben Leijun is also one of his backers.

Ou Tianci continued: "Moreover, the death of my brother Ou Tianhao is also related to Duan Han."

"If he hadn't lured my brother to Yushui City, my brother would not have died in Yushui City, and now he can't even find his bones."

"My family has built a very luxurious grave for my younger brother."

"Who knows, there is no corpse inside, only a coffin made of good wood and my brother's clothes."

"If it wasn't for the way that Duan Han was greeted with a smile every day, and he respected my family very much, my family would definitely hold Duan Han accountable."

"Now, if my family doesn't take revenge on Duan Han, he should burn incense!"

"What did he dare to say about what I did?"

"Besides, Duan Han must have made a lot of money after being the magistrate for so many years. Now it's our turn."

"Your Excellency is right!" The governor nodded and bowed, and then said:
"These five official positions are all idle positions. These officials usually leave the government office after a short period of time after they are ordered."

"We can remove them from office on the grounds of dereliction of duty."

"Good." Hearing this, Ou Tianci nodded and stood up, "Now go talk to Duan Han."

……

After hearing what Ou Tianci said, Duan Han's expression rarely changed.

He didn't expect this person to do such a thing on his first day in office.

"Removal..." he murmured.

"Oh? I wonder what brother Duan's opinion is?" Ou Tianci said, looking at Duan Han majesticly with a pair of eyes.

Duan Han put away his changing expression, and smiled at Ou Tianci:
"I don't have much advice, but I do have a request."

"What request?" Ou Tianci asked.

"It's better not to dismiss them, I will tell them one by one, let them resign their official posts." Duan Han said:

"Give me some time."

"Five days." Ou Tianci said.

"Okay." Duan Han replied, sighing inwardly.

After Ou Tianci and the governor left, Duan Han went to the desk, took out a piece of paper, picked up a brush on the pen holder, and dipped it in ink from the inkstone.

After writing a few lines on the paper, put it in an envelope, called a trusted aide, and asked him to take it to Li Yujing.

……

In the afternoon, Zuifeng Tower.

Duan Han was wearing casual clothes, followed by a cronies, and walked in.

In a box, I met Li Yujing.

In the private room, there are two middle-aged men with strong stature. They are all masters of martial arts at the pulse opening state, but they are not one of the thirty or so masters at the pulse opening state in Jiannan Fucheng.

After Duan Han entered the box, the two martial arts masters of the Pulse Opening Realm guarded the doors and windows respectively, and at the same time kept an eye on whether there was anyone above the box.

After Duan Han saluted Li Yujing, he sat down.

There is no food on the dining table, but there are paper and pens.

Duan Han first said softly: "Miss, I don't know about that..."

Li Yujing sighed, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and wrote: "Our strength is not enough now, so we should not act rashly."

"Ou Tianci is from the faction of Ben Leijun Li Tunshan, so let him go and give him those official positions."

"Among these official positions, I will notify Su Que, and you will notify others."

Duan Han nodded, then picked up the pen and wrote small characters on the paper:

"When will the young master attack Jian'an Fucheng, there will be a little help."

Li Yujing read it, took the pen and paper, and wrote on it:

"Li Tunshan is a martial artist with fifteen veins, and his martial arts attainments are not low, so he should not be underestimated."

"My brother is borrowing troops everywhere, and when he is sure, he will take down Jiannan Mansion in one fell swoop."

"What you have to do is still pay attention to the Ben Lei Army, and then find a way to find out the general who secretly refuses to accept Li Tunshan and win him over."

Li Yujing and Duan Han are both members of a newly rising rebellious army "Breaking Heaven Army".

The reason why the power behind the Mo Jin Chamber of Commerce is mysterious and unknown is because after going back layer by layer, its final force is the anti-army "Breaking Heaven Army".

On the surface, Li Yujing is the daughter of a wealthy family, but in fact, she is the fraternal twin sister of Li Xuanji, the "King of Qin" of the Heaven Breaking Army.

They are descendants of a country that was destroyed by Liang Guo, and they want to overthrow Liang Guo and restore the country.

Duan Han and the masters of the Pulse Opening Realm are their loyal retainers.

Outside, the retainers generally referred to Li Yujing as "Miss" and Li Xuanji as "Master".

"Okay." Duan Han nodded after reading Li Yujing's words.

Li Yujing immediately picked up the paper, put it on the candle and burned it.

……

On this day, Su Que concentrated on practicing, not knowing that so many things happened.

In the evening, when he returned home, he found several candles lit in the living room, which was very bright.

Walking over, I saw two female figures, they were Su Jing and Li Yujing.

"Xiao Que, come here."

When passing the hall, Su Jing waved to Su Que.

Su Que walked over while thinking about what the two women were going to say.

Seeing Su Que coming, Li Yujing said:

"Xiao Que, I want to tell you something..."

"There is something wrong with the government office. Within five days, you need to write a letter and resign from the official position."

Su Que frowned slightly, and asked, "I don't know why, what happened?"

Li Yujing told about what Ou Tianci did, but she didn't say that she belonged to the Heaven Breaking Army.

After all, Li Yujing said: "Xiao Que, you don't need to worry about it. I'll help you find another official position after you find a vacancy."

"Sister Jing has done so much for my family, I am really grateful." Su Que cupped his hands, "I understand your difficulties, so I will just resign."

After finishing speaking, he apologized, exited the hall, and returned to his room.

Back in the room, he thought to himself.

Originally, life was still peaceful, but when Ou Tianci came, such things happened.

The resignation had an impact on him.

Without an official position, he has no salary.

Salary is his ostensible income, which is used to improve his family's situation, and can buy calligraphy and paintings and other things.

Moreover, without his official position, he lacked aura, and no one invited him to participate in the poetry, calligraphy and painting meeting.

In this way, his true identity is less concealed.

The most important thing is that he now has such strength that he can change the status quo, and he doesn't need to be at the mercy of Ou Tianci, a clown.

'Ou Tianci...'

"Didn't someone buy his life? I took this mission..."

After killing Ou Tianci, at least for a short time, no one would shout about betraying their officials.

Su Que remembered his identity as Tang Sect killer "Tan Lang".

"Tanlang, I'm going out of the mountain..."
