MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 270v1000 Yu Hang's inner demon

The streets of the palace were now deserted. The eunuchs and maids passing by all lowered their heads and walked silently.

The vermilion tile walls and glazed tiles make the palace look magnificent, but no one appreciates it.

 The road paved with bluestone slabs is smooth, with some dark patterns covering it, making it look extremely noble.

 At the end of the bluestone slab, the Prime Minister was standing in white clothes.

He is less majestic than the leader of hundreds of officials and more like a scholar. He is more like a scholar from a scholarly family.

The Prime Minister put one hand in front of him and the other behind his back. He looked at Zhou An and said calmly: "Are you going to find Yu Hang?"

Zhou An frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Yes."

He knew that the Prime Minister's prejudice against him was just a play, but at this time Zhou An was not in the mood to act out this play.

Since his brother is now behind bars, Zhou An wants to get there quickly and eliminate Yuhang's troubles.

If someone really framed her, Zhou An wouldn't mind letting them accompany her aunt. After all, her aunt is still quite lonely down there alone.

"This trip is not a smooth journey, and he didn't tell me the truth about Yuhang. I don't know what the situation is."

The prime minister said slowly: "If you encounter resistance, holding this token can resist an attack from the ultimate enlightenment realm."

 At this point, a token was thrown over by the Prime Minister.

Zhou An took it and put it into the pink purse: "Thank you very much."

"He is my disciple. You don't need to say anything to thank me. It's just that he refuses to explain it to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to go to Lihuangjing."

The Prime Minister shook his head: "As Eunuch Wei said, everything should be done in your own way, but after all, we still need to consider the Qin family's affairs. If it is really the Qin family's problem..."

“These families have been rotten for a long time, so the rotten things must be uprooted.”

“Although the establishment of the Chu State was short-lived, too much was given to them, which was the reason why these families became corrupt.”

“The cutting off of the wrists of strong men was done by the Chu State and also by Yuhang.”

Zhou An hummed to express understanding.

Some of these families who followed the Chu Kingdom to conquer the world still adhere to their original aspirations, but most of them have been corrupted by power and interests. This is what Emperor Xingwu wants to do, to eliminate all corruption with the courage to burn all boats.

The Prime Minister did not continue to speak, then turned and left.

 The two of them are not very familiar with each other. Things that can be explained clearly in a few sentences are meaningless if they are too many.

 After the prime minister left, Zhou An did not stay long and left the palace as well.

Zhou An did not choose to ride in the carriage, but directly used the Flying Dragon Body Technique to rise into the air and fly in the direction of Lihuangjing.

This trip is urgent, and Zhou An feels that all problems should be eradicated as quickly as possible.

 …

The distance from Beijing to Lihuangjing is very long, but it is closer than the border.

 But for Zhou An, flying at full speed did not waste much time.

When passing through some cities, no one stopped him. The town commander even looked at Zhou An who was coming and going, saying that he turned a blind eye.

 It didn’t take long for Zhou An to stop at Lihuangjing.

At this time, there were several soldiers guarding the gate of Lihuangjing.

 Every citizen entering or leaving the area will be strictly scrutinized and will be released only after confirming that nothing is wrong.

Zhou An slowly approached, and when he approached the city gate, he shocked the soldiers guarding the city.

 “Master Zhou...Master Zhou?”

The soldier couldn't believe it and rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if everything he saw was impossible.

Zhou An held Black Jade and nodded: "Do you need to check?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, if it's Mr. Zhou, what kind of examination is needed? Mr. Zhou is serious, you can just go in."

 As a soldier, he knew very well what Zhou An represented and what Zhou An meant by coming here.

Nowadays, the Yuhang incident is also making a fuss in Lihuangjing.

The Qin family is not easy to deal with, and it was Yu Hang who personally killed the second young master of the Qin family.

 For a family that has been given a plaque by the emperor, it is extremely difficult for even the prime minister to deal with it.

 If it is not handled well, other families will be disappointed and may even have many ideas.

Even if it is not said on the surface, if there is a situation where people are not of the same mind, many decisions will be made with half the effort.

Now, everyone in the Chu Kingdom knows that there are only two close friends of Zhou An in the Chu Kingdom.

 One Ye Shuang, one Yuhang.

 Something happened in Yuhang, and Zhou An came.

The soldiers felt that Lihuangjing might not be peaceful. At least in the current world, there are only a few people who can withstand Zhou An.

Thinking of this, the soldiers made way.

Zhou An walked into Lihuangjing and looked around.

This city has its own unique style. Different from the bustle of other cities, the atmosphere of this city is more like an elegant atmosphere.

 Lihuangjing is a city rich in scholars.

 Here you can see scholars holding books in their hands everywhere, either immersed in reading or standing under a tree debating opinions.

 Some people even sat directly on the ground and recited poems in response to a scene.

As for the street vendors, in addition to selling necessary daily necessities, more pens, inks, paper and inkstones are placed in front of the stalls.

 Zhou An's arrival seemed a bit out of place.

Many scholars cast their gaze over, and they were keenly aware that Zhou An had an evil aura coming from the world.

Zhou An didn't care and came to Lihuangjing's Yamen with a calm face.

There are two policemen guarding the yamen gate.

 The catcher had a serious face and stood with a knife in his hand.

 When they saw Zhou An, they all showed surprise.

The two looked at each other, and one of the agents walked up, cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Zhou."

 Zhou An didn't think it was strange that they knew him, and waved.

 “Take me to see your lords.”

The detective nodded repeatedly, without even announcing, he raised his hand and said: "Please come with me, sir."

The two detectives knew the reason for Zhou An's arrival. After all, the Yuhang incident had caused quite a stir in the entire Lihuangjing.

 They were not surprised by Zhou An's arrival.

Furthermore, Lihuangjing’s capital order had said that if Zhou An came, he would just let him in, so the police did not notify him.

Zhou An nodded, took Black Jade in hand, and entered the Yamen under the guidance of the policeman.

In the front yard of the Yamen, there were many policemen standing at this time, looking through various files, looking very busy.

 When several of the detectives saw it was Zhou An, they hurriedly raised their heads, and then quickly lowered their heads.

Zhou An walked to one of the police stations and took a look. He found that the police officers were looking through information about the Qin family. He thought that what these police officers were busy with now was probably related to Yu Hang.

 He didn’t look much and continued walking forward.

The police officer walking in front turned around and held his hands in his hands, saying, "Master Zhou and Master Jingling are waiting inside, so it's not convenient for me to go there."

 After saying that, the policeman left the place without waiting for Zhou An's reply.

The pace is hurried, as if he is afraid of staying around for a while.

 In fact, I don’t blame the policeman for doing this. After all, it was said in the world that Zhou An had a moody temper. The policeman felt that if he stayed here longer, he would be in more danger, so he evacuated quickly.

Zhou An didn't care about the policeman's attitude, and walked into the lobby with Black Jade in hand.

At this time, the lobby was also busy.

 The detectives came and went in a hurry.

Directly opposite, a middle-aged man in official uniform was looking through a file with a serious expression.

When he heard Zhou An's footsteps, he immediately put the file on the table next to him, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I am Lihuang Jingling, my surname is Li."

Zhou An also raised his hands and said, "I have met Master Li. I wonder if Yu Hang is in the Yamen now?"

 According to the rules, Yu Hang committed a crime and is currently in the investigation stage.

 While investigating, you cannot leave Lihuangjing, and the Yamen is the best place.

Hearing this, Li Jingling nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Yu is currently in prison in the Yamen, but Mr. Zhou can rest assured that we have not made things difficult for Mr. Yu, and we are serving him delicious food and drinks."

 Let’s not talk about the relationship between Yu Hang and Zhou An, just talking about Yu Hang’s own identity, he cannot bear the slightest hardship in this yamen.

 After all, if this matter is found out and it really has nothing to do with Yu Hang, it would be a big deal if he is a disciple of Prime Minister Yu Hang.

So Li Jingling did not treat Yu Hang badly. On the contrary, in fact, in the cell, Yu Hang did not receive any pressure.

Zhou An did not ask about the cause and effect of this matter because he felt it was not necessary and could just ask Yu Hang directly.

Although Yu Hang has a silent attitude towards other people, Zhou An's relationship with him is different. Just one look at him and he will know what Yu Hang will say next second.

Li Jingling did not refuse Zhou An's direct request to see Yu Hang. Instead, he stood up and led the way personally.

 Being able to solve the Yu Hang matter can also make Li Jingling relieved. After all, he is currently having a headache about this matter.

 Subsequently, under the guidance of Li Jingling, Zhou An came to Lai Yamen's cell.

 The cell was dark, with only the candles hanging on the wall providing the only light.

 Between the flickers of light and shadow, the gloomy cell looked a bit strange.

 Due to the darkness, the cell was a little damp, and bugs would crawl through here from time to time.

There are also many prisoners in the cells, all of them looking at the ground blankly, like pieces of wood.

Even when Zhou An arrived, these prisoners only raised their heads and glanced, then lowered their heads again, looking at the ground motionless.

Li Jingling took Zhou An for a walk, and finally came to a relatively spacious cell.

Although this cell is tightly guarded and has several large locks on the door, the furnishings inside are different.

Not only were there various kinds of furniture, there was even a jug of wine inside.

Zhou An looked up and saw Yu Hang sitting on the bed, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this time, Yu Hang, still wearing the white clothes of a scholar, was sitting on the bed, meditating.

Yu Hang's complexion is still very good, but Zhou An can feel that Yu Hang's complexion at this moment is only superficial.

 There seems to be a trace of decadence in his heart.

 This is very different from the Yu Hang that Zhou An knew.

 In his opinion, no matter how great the adversity was, Yu Hang had never shown such fatigue. At most, he could only complain a few words.

 After complaining, he will return to his usual personality.

 So looking at Yuhang's current state, Zhou An immediately felt that something was wrong.

When Zhou An arrived, Yu Hang seemed to notice it. Then he opened his eyes and looked in Zhou An's direction, his eyes brightening slightly.

 But soon, there was loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

 “You are here, I knew you would come, but I didn’t expect you would come so fast.”

Yu Hang showed a bitter smile.

Zhou An looked at the lock in front of him, put his hand on it and applied a little force, and the lock broke naturally.

A cell like this can only be said to be a decoration for people in the industry, and more for the police officers guarding the cell. That is the real method of prevention.

“Master Li, I want to have a few words with Yu Hang alone.” Zhou An walked into the cell and said without looking back.

 Li Jingling nodded, knowing the seriousness of the matter, turned around and left directly.

 At this time, only Zhou An and Yu Hang were left in the cell.

After Yu Hang said that, he returned to his decadent look, as if he had been hit by something and lost his confidence.

Zhou An thought for a while, sat down next to Yu Hang, looked directly at Yu Hang, and said slowly: "Lao Yu, what happened? Tell me."

Hearing this, Yu Hang shook his head: "There's nothing to say. I killed the second young master of the Qin family, and it was indeed me who did it. Whatever happens, it doesn't matter what punishment I receive."

In Zhou An's opinion, this kind of gesture is more like showing off.

 He touched his chin and suddenly said: "This is not like you."

Yu Hang was slightly sluggish, but then returned to normal: "What's wrong with this? Killing for life. If I kill, that should be the punishment I deserve."

 “Why kill?” Zhou An asked.

Yu Hang kept silent.

Zhou An continued to ask: "I know you very well. If it weren't for something that forced you, you would never kill a stranger. So there must be something fishy about this matter. If you didn't say anything, , I will check it out myself. After I find out, things will not be that simple. "

Yu Hang sighed: "Old Zhou, there is really no need to check. Just do whatever you want. I have long recognized that there are many things in this world that cannot be changed, including my ideals. I cannot control them alone. living."

Hearing this, Zhou An felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

But if Yu Hang didn't say anything, no matter how big the problem was, it would only remain an unknown mystery.

Thinking of this, Zhou An stood up and prepared to leave.

Yu Hang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old Zhou, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive!"

Zhou An turned around and said: "If you are impulsive, just arrest the head of the Qin family and ask him the reason for the matter. If you don't want to tell me, then I will ask him."

"The court has already asked him, but it has no effect. I have already admitted that it will not have any effect if you ask him." Yu Hang took two steps forward and held Zhou An's shoulders. Zhou An turned his head and smiled: "The way Da Chu asked questions is their way of asking. My way of asking is different. I can ask the essence. If he doesn't tell me, I have countless ways to make him say it. If you just do this to reveal the truth, it will be beyond your control."

For a family that was personally given a plaque by the emperor, if it followed Zhou An's path, things would really get into trouble, but Zhou An didn't care.

 Because in his opinion, there is another hidden secret in this matter. If Yu Hang doesn't tell him, then he should go find someone who knows and ask.

When Yu Hang heard this, he moved his hand away from Zhou An's shoulder and sighed: "I knew if you came, there would be nothing I could do to you."

Zhou An smiled, and then sat back down. The old man said calmly: "Lao Yu, you also know my temper. If you don't let me make things worse, just say it quickly."

 In a few words, Zhou An was able to get Yu Hang to speak.

This is what he can do. If it were anyone else, Yu Hang would really not be willing to speak.

 This method is actually very simple, it is to completely grasp Yu Hang’s psychology.

Just as he valued Yu Hang, Yu Hang also regarded him as a life and death friend.

Yu Hang knew in his heart that if Zhou An asked directly, then according to Zhou An's method of asking, the entire Qin family might be miserable, and it would have some impact on Zhou An.

  He regarded Zhou An as a brother, and naturally he did not want to see Zhou An take these risks, so he could only tell the truth.

 This is considered coercion, but Zhou An feels that this kind of coercion can be used.

Yu Hang was silent for a long time, then sighed again and recounted what happened: "When I first came to Lihuangjing, I was very high-spirited, because in all the cities I passed, after my ideas were successfully implemented, The people have received huge benefits, but here, I have encountered a setback in my life..."

In this cell, only Yu Hang's voice sounded slowly.

There were a lot of things. After talking about it for nearly a stick of incense, Yu Hang closed his mouth and stopped talking.

 After listening to this, Zhou An fell into silence and slowly understood what Yu Hang had said to him.

Lihuangjing is different from other cities. There is a Qin family here, and the Qin family is the biggest difficulty.

 Other families did not cooperate with Yuhang. Instead, led by the Qin family, they opposed the establishment of Yuhang's concept.

They would not object openly. After all, this was the emperor's wish, so they used various methods on Yu Hang, both overtly and covertly.

Moreover, there is no trace of the means, and they cannot be traced at all.

Even if Yu Hang reported these matters to the court, there is no evidence to prove that it was the Qin family who was responsible.

 So it is difficult for Yuhang to move here.

 But because of this, Yu Hang became interested. He found it more challenging.

So, Yu Hang took his people and went to the Qin family, intending to have a good talk with the Qin family.

Yu Hang has encountered similar families before, also like the Qin family.

But after Yu Hang personally came to explain his intention and said that he would not harm the foundation, those families also cooperated.

Yu Hang felt that a family like the Qin family, which founded the country, must be well-versed in this aspect, so as long as it is explained clearly, there will be no problem.

 Unexpectedly, it was met with disappointment.

At that time, he still remembered that the second young master of the Qin family stood in front of him and gave him a performance.

The second young master of the Qin family went to the street, randomly picked up a woman, and performed obscene acts in front of him.

But when Yu Hang was about to stop her, the second young master of the Qin family took out a large bag of money and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

Moreover, the woman actually cooperated with a look of unwillingness.

This scene instantly turned something that should have been illegal into a consensual one.

Yu Hang was very angry, but had nowhere to vent.

 He left angrily and planned to continue to change the city according to his own ideas.

 But what happened next made him completely disheartened.

 He found many people and asked them if they had any opinions on his reforms.

 This is something he often did before. Listening more to public opinion will naturally make reforms go more smoothly.

 But the answers given by these people made Yu Hang instantly feel chilled.

　　When the people heard that money would be spent on them, and that the money came from various families, they all waved their hands and said they were unwilling.

This is not fear, Yu Hang can feel it, it should be a habit that has been developed for a long time.

 The hearts of the people have already adapted to it, and it is deeply ingrained and difficult to change. They are as numb as wood.

 After that, Yu Hang was even more provoked.

The second young master of the Qin family would always go to the street to catch a woman, come in front of him and follow the same routine to provoke him.

One day, when Yu Hang looked at that frail little girl, only thirteen or fourteen years old, standing in front of him, he couldn't bear it.

Especially when he saw the little girl's numb expression, he directly chose to take action and kill the second young master of the Qin family.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Hang is now in prison.

 After Zhou An heard the whole story, he nodded and said, "I understand, Lao Yu."

Yu Hang was slightly startled: "What do you want to do?"

Zhou An stood up and said, "Of course I will rescue you first, and we will talk about other things later."

Yu Hang shook his head: "There's no point in going out. I'm already frustrated. Now I just want to find a place to spend the rest of my life after being punished."

 Zhou An raised his eyebrows, then grabbed Yu Hang's collar with his backhand and raised it in front of him.

This is the first time in such a long time that Zhou An made such a rough move between the two brothers, which actually made Yu Hang feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Hang was about to speak when he heard Zhou An's voice.

"I know what you mean. You originally wanted to change these rotten places, but you didn't expect that even the people were rotten and collided with your ideas, so you felt discouraged. Is that so? "

Yu Hang was told by Zhou An, but he did not deny it and nodded to indicate that it was indeed the case.

“In my life, I hope there will be no more hunger, poverty, and pain in the world, but now the people I want to change are as numb as dead fish. How can I talk about change, so I won’t change.”

Zhou An interrupted: "The people of Lihuangjing are willing to live in this numb state, but think about it, is it like this everywhere when you come?"

Yu Hang thought for a while, then shook his head, saying that this was indeed not the case in many places.

Zhou An continued: "Sometimes, people have a herd mentality. When most people are numb, only a few people can stay awake."

“If you promote your ideas and let the people in this world understand your ideas, then these few numb people will also be affected and become sober. This is what you want.”

“When people in the world wake up, numb people will naturally change.”

When Yu Hang heard what Zhou An said, he lowered his head silently and chewed what Zhou An said carefully.

 After a moment, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Old Zhou, I find that you are more suitable for this matter than me. Your ideas are much better than mine."

 He understood what Zhou An meant and also understood his misunderstanding.

I am eager for quick success and quick success, and I am too eager for success. When I see a small number of people here, I forget most of them.

Yu Hang felt that Zhou An was right.

If the whole world wakes up, the numb people will also wake up.

 In just a few sentences, Yu Hang emerged from his inner demons.

 Zhou An shook his head: "This is not what I thought."

Yu Hang said in surprise: "Whose idea was that?"

 Zhou An remained silent, expressing his unwillingness to say more.

 As a person who has traveled through time, he already knows these thoughts.

These are the thoughts gathered by the sages in his previous life.

 He is not a person who takes credit, so he will not directly say that he came up with it himself.

 Zhou An stood up and patted Yu Hang on the shoulder: "Your inner demon has been revealed, but your affairs are not over yet."

Yu Hang became more relaxed at this time and smiled: "It is true that the Qin family's affairs are difficult to handle. It is true that I killed their second young master."

"Deserves to be killed." Zhou An said calmly: "After someone kicks someone in the nose and hits him in the face, the only way is to take action. After all, some people's reasoning does not make sense."

 At this point, Zhou An had already arrived at the door, opened it, and looked at Yu Hang in the cell.

 “Let’s go, things have to have a beginning and an end. Now that we’re here, let’s solve everything.”

When the cell door was opened, the policeman who was hiding in the dark immediately came up with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Zhou An glanced at it lightly: "You are all doing your own thing. I won't embarrass you, but if I take Yu Hang away today, you can put everything on me, okay?"

 After these words were spoken, several of the detectives looked at each other, then silently stepped back and made way for them.

Yu Hang walked out of the cell, smiled but said nothing.

After the two people got out of the cell, they looked at the sunny weather outside and walked towards the outside of the Yamen. No one stopped them along the way.

 …

Walking on the street, Zhou An put a hand on Yu Hang's shoulder.

"Lao Yu, you are still a little gentle in your actions. If it were me, the Qin family would be so arrogant in front of me. The second time he did it, he would have turned into a puddle of meat."

Yu Hang looked at the familiar scenery around him, shook his head and said, "I can also use the thunder method, but in my position, I can't use it randomly."

Zhou An nodded, looked at a scholar walking by with a book in his arms, turned around and said, "The Qin family should be a family of scholars, right?"

Yu Hang nodded and said: "It is true. This family has produced many officials, and some are even serving as officials in the capital. Who would have thought that such a family of scholars would do such a thing."

When Zhou An heard this, he fell into silence, and this silence happened to be seen by Yu Hang.

Upon seeing this, Yu Hang asked strangely: "What's wrong? There seems to be something wrong with your expression, Lao Zhou."

Zhou An touched his chin: "Lao Yu, have you ever thought about it, the numbness of these people is incompatible with the atmosphere of Lihuangjing."

Hearing this, Yu Hang pondered for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "You mean, in this city where there is an atmosphere of scholars, the people are more or less educated, and it is impossible to be so short-sighted, facing Some are oppressed and don’t know how to resist.”

He really hadn't thought about these things. Now after being reminded by Zhou An, Yu Hang felt that there might be something fishy going on here.

 If nothing else, just talking about the behavior of these people, it is different from the atmosphere in Lihuangjing.

If it were in other cities, it might still be normal, but in a city where scholars are everywhere, it is impossible for the people to behave indifferently when facing their families.

Zhou An looked at the road ahead: "Everything will be clear when we get to the so-called Qin family."

 Then, the two of them stopped talking and rushed towards the Qin family quickly.

 …

The Qin family, as the largest family in Lihuangjing and having a plaque awarded by the emperor, has everything going smoothly here.

To put it bluntly, on the surface, it is just a family, but secretly it has many branches.

 The surrounding families are all following his lead.

As long as the Qin family makes a word here, many families will take notice and cooperate with each other.

 For example, when Yu Hang came over this time, they almost hugged each other into a fist.

The situation in the Qin family is a little different now. There are white cloths hanging everywhere.

 The reason is that the second young master of the Qin family was directly suppressed and killed by Yu Hang.

 So during this period of time, the Qin family's white cloth never stopped.

Logically speaking, the second young master Qin has been buried long ago, and these white cloths have been removed. However, since Yu Hang has not been punished accordingly, the Qin family has always hung them.

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but secretly, they are putting pressure on the court.

●The Qin family is particularly lively today, because families of all sizes are gathered here.

In the reception room of the Qin family, the head of the Qin family poured a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and looked around with a stern expression.

Beside him stood a dusty young man who told Zhou An what was happening on his way to Qin's house.

 Below, the faces of the big and small families all showed solemn expressions, and some even showed fear.

The head of the Qin family put down the tea cup, looked around, taking in all these expressions, and then slammed the table hard.

After this action appeared, it immediately aroused the reaction of many people and turned their attention to it.

The head of the Qin family showed a cold look in his eyes.

“It’s just Zhou An coming, are you afraid of being like this?”

 The heads of many families looked at each other, and one of them showed a bitter smile.

“Zhou An has made a big splash in the world. He never follows the rules. We are worried that he will do whatever he wants.”

 “Are you kidding?”

The head of the Qin family sneered: "Yu Hang killed my son first. He really dares to do whatever he wants. Could it be that the plaque given to me by the emperor is for nothing?"

"I know what you are thinking. You are just worried that you will be implicated. There is no need at all, because if we make a fist, Zhou An will not dare to mess around."

Even though he said this, the worries on the faces of the surrounding house owners did not diminish.

The head of the Qin family took a sip of hot tea: "Today, if Zhou Anruo comes, you will see how I give him a blow."

Many family heads nodded. Although they were still a little worried, they still agreed with the Qin family.

 There is no way, who made this place headed by the Qin family.

The head of the Qin family nodded and did not continue talking. He was still drinking tea calmly.

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded.

 …

 (At present, this book is approaching the late stage, and the problem has been a bit serious recently, so I would like to give you a monthly pass, please) (End of this chapter)
