Chapter 2244 2246【Lei Laowu】


    The next few days were uneventful.


    Xiang Nan was busy working in the inn during the day, and when he had time, he asked the scholar to teach him how to read and write.


    In fact, Xiang Nan can write well, and he is much better than Lu Xiucai in terms of poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.


    ??But Li Dazuo couldn''t read, and he had a pole lying on the ground and didn''t know how to read. So he suddenly became a literary giant, with a wealth of knowledge and a wealth of work. Anyone could see that it was inappropriate.


    So he could only pretend to be illiterate, starting from the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Literature.


    "Human beings are inherently good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If you don''t teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to be dedicated..." Xiang Nan held the book, shook his head and recited.


    "Big mouth, that''s ok. You''ve only studied for a few days and you can already memorize the Three-Character Sutra." Guo Furong couldn''t help but said in surprise when she saw that Xiang Nan recited the words correctly and fluently without stuttering. .


    “Because I want to cherish the opportunity to study now. I wanted to study before, but my family didn’t have money. Now that I finally have some money, of course I can’t slack off anymore,” Xiang Nan explained.


    “Big Mouth said yes, let us give him a very warm applause.” Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu clapped her hands and said with a smile, “Xiao Bei, you must learn from Uncle Big Mouth in the future and stop being lazy.”


    "I know, sister-in-law." Mo Xiaobei nodded.


    …


    In addition to reading and practicing calligraphy, Xiang Nan also did not forget to practice Qigong.


    ??Turning Wave Palm, Flame Knife, Finger Finger Magical Power, Widow''s Sword Technique, each martial arts requires accumulated practice over a long period of time in order to achieve the state of being able to do whatever you want and integrate them.


    So he would practice every night when he went home, regardless of wind or rain, cold or heat.


    Every effort is rewarded. With his hard work, his martial arts has naturally improved significantly.


    Let''s not talk about anything else, just the flaming sword, and he has already reached the third level. Under the movement, his hands were as hot as a soldering iron. If you place it in a basin of cold water, you will have a basin of boiling water in a matter of seconds.


    ?Such martial arts can be called a magical skill.


    ?Seeing that Xiang Nan had mastered the flame sword to the third level in just one month, Yang Huilan couldn''t help but admire him more and more.


    She had obtained the secret book of "Flaming Knife" for more than two years and practiced hard day and night, only to reach the second level. In comparison, Xiang Nan is truly a martial arts wizard.


    …


    In terms of daily life, Xiang Nan’s family now has six maids serving him.


    Four of the maids serve the big-mouthed woman. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and toilets are all served carefully and thoughtfully.


    The big mouth girl is naturally very satisfied.


    She never dreamed that her son would be so successful that she could live a good life even when she was old.


    ?Two maids serve Yang Huilan, namely Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui.


    ?Yang Huilan specially changed the names of the two of them. Sai Diaochan was renamed Jixiang, and Xiaocui was renamed Ruyi. Every now and then, she would set rules for them, either making them stand or kneeling.


    ??Yang Huilan is smart and ruthless. She doesn''t even take killing people seriously, so she can easily deal with two weak women.


    In less than half a month, Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui were trained by her to be obedient. Even Xiang Nan admires her shrewdness and determination.


    …


    During this half-month period, Tongfu Inn also helped Lao Luo solve the problem of selling chickens.


    But unlike the Chicken King Competition in the play, Tongfu Inn bought it directly.


    It is now the largest restaurant within a hundred miles, with as many as 600 or 700 diners coming and going every day. Although three hundred chickens may sound like a lot, they are only enough for three or four days. So there is no need to hold a chicken king contest, the diners alone ate all the chickens.


    ??Without the Chicken King Competition, there would be no chicken theft cases, and Xing Baotou and Yan Xiaoliu would naturally not have the eight methods to prevent theft. For everyone in Tongfu Inn, it was a lucky escape.


    …


    In the next few days, heavy rain fell continuously in Qixia Town and its surrounding areas.


    Heavy rain caused Cuiwei Mountain to collapse, blocking the Xiliang River.


    ?The river was blocked, and the sewers in several towns along the coast were also blocked.


    With a blocked sewer, domestic sewage cannot be discharged and can only be left to rot and ferment in the town. This makes several towns along the coast stinky, filthy and unbearable.


    Fortunately, Louzhi County received donations from Xiang Nan a few days ago and has more than 2,000 taels of silver on hand. Coupled with donations from many merchants, we finally collected four thousand taels of silver and are organizing manpower to dredge the river.


    ?However, the river is so blocked that it cannot be cleared in a day or two, so it will still stink for a while.


    And because of the unpleasant smell in the town, the business of Tongfu Inn was affected. After all, in such a smelly environment, few people can have a good appetite.


    Since there were few people to eat, Xiang Nan had a lot of time. However, he was not idle, but was even busier than before.


    Because he wanted to capture the tomb robber Lei Laowu.


    There is a tomb of King Xin in Taiping Mountain, where Zhu Youjian, King Xin of the Ming Dynasty, was buried.


    The world in which "Wulin Gaiden" is set has a big gap between history and reality.


    In the history of "Wulin Gaiden", the Qing soldiers did not successfully enter the pass. In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army defeated the main force of Houjin and achieved a decisive victory, strangling the newly rising Houjin in the cradle.


    As a result, history has changed, and today the world is still dominated by the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, and King Xin Zhu Youjian was his cousin. He was buried in Taiping Mountain after his death.


    No one knew he was buried here. Unexpectedly, heavy rain for days caused Cuiwei Mountain to collapse, exposing the underground palace in Taiping Mountain, thus attracting tomb robbers.


    ?Lei Laowu comes from a family of tomb robbers. His descendants have made a living by robbing tombs for several generations, so he will definitely get wind of it.


    Once the tomb of King Xin is stolen, the government and the public will definitely be shaken. In the play, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of War, a dignified third-rank official, personally led a team to investigate the case, which shows that the court attached great importance to it.


    If the case cannot be solved, then Magistrate Lou will be in trouble. The inability to guard the royal tomb led to the tomb being stolen, and the bones of the royal descendants exposed in the wilderness. The crime of deceiving the emperor was absolutely inevitable.


    ?At that time, being dismissed from office was a trivial matter, and if things went wrong it could be beheaded.


    Xiang Nan didn’t want anything to happen to Lou Zhixian, so he had to arrest Lei Laowu.


    …


    Xiang Nan came to Taiping Mountain.


    After searching carefully, I finally saw the hole dug by Lei Laowu in a tree hole behind the mountain.


    I saw that the hole was only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Xiang Nan tried it, but couldn''t even put his head in, so he had to admire Lei Laowu''s bone-shrinking skills. It was really a unique skill.


    ?After finding the robbery hole, Xiang Nan conducted careful surveys and determined that the hole should have just been dug by Lei Laowu.


    Because the soil at the entrance of the cave is still new, it doesn’t look like it was dug out for a few days. And if you listen carefully along the entrance of the cave, you can even hear a crackling sound coming from inside. It is expected that Lei Laowu is digging.


    “Okay, it’s better to come early than to come by chance. I’ll just sit back and wait for the rabbit.” Xiang Nan jumped up to the treetop, closed his eyes and practiced his internal energy, and waited quietly for Lei Laowu to appear.
