This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"This feeling is amazing!"

Above the cloud bed, Wu Ming touched the Dustless Gown in his hand and felt that it would be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which is appropriate and pleasant.

Looking at outside again: "The time flow seems to have changed since last time… is it regular or did it change after I joined?"

"But since that's the case, my excuse for closed-door cultivation is just right!"

Wu Ming immediately closed his eyes. In an instant, his face glowed with radiance with his body with limbs, orifices, flesh, and acupoints full of True Qi, returning to the Origin, the Innate body engraved achievements.

"Mental breakthrough, the physical follow-up will be very easy… After all, I've been stuck at this level for a long time!"

Wu Ming smiled when in the Sea of Consciousness, a light curtain emerged:

[Reincarnation Serial Number: GS-69]

[Name: Wu Ming]

[Cultivation Base: Mortal Body 6th Layer Innate]

[Equipment: Dark Gold Ring, Dustless Gown]

[Title: Overgod Apostle]

"Alas… Dark Gold Ring can't be taken without it, the rest can only bring this piece out first…"

Wu Ming looked at his vest on his body but he smiled bitterly: "Intermediate-Grade Magical Artifact, I asked for 60 Minor Merits. Once coming down, 110 Minor Merits would be gone. If any Reincarnators tried to resell, it would definitely a loss of money!"

Thinking about it at this time, he wore a big robe to cover the Dustless Gown and walked out.

"Young Master Ming!"

Two dignified and sensible girls immediately saluted him, not knowing how long they've waited.

"When is it now?"

Wu Ming narrowed his eyes, feeling the harsh sunlight.

After Young Master retreated into seclusion, it has been a night and half a day, it will almost be noon!"

The maid whispered carefully and a color of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In their eyes, after a night, the Young Master seems to be different, his skin became more delicate. It was like the most excellent porcelain and his black eyes were unfathomable.

"Well, tell the cook to prepare, I want to eat!"

Wu Ming raised his hand.

Under the sun, his palms are white, delicate, and flawless, and even the original calluses and dead skin have disappeared completely.

For Martial Path, reaching Innate, returning to Origin, this effect is inherent.

Lunch soon came up, there were three meat and vegetal dishes plus a pot of soup. All of them are full of color and flavor, Wu Ming savored it sweetly.

In the past, the dude had to eat seven meat and eight vegetarian dishes every time. Naturally, he would not be wasteful but now, he is concentrating on martial arts and this amount of food is sufficient, it is just right.

"Young Master Ming!"

At this point, Steward Wu came in and saw that Wu Ming was on cloud nine, he didn't want to appear to be rude so he did not disturb him.

This young master has learned a lot since the last incident. Not only his achievement and talent in the Martial Path made the Instructor praise but even the life of the people and hopes have made great progress so his loyalty could not help but raise a few more points.

After all, following such a host's family, there is hope for the future.

In this age, they were born to serve the Wu family for many generations as servants. They were intrinsically entangled with the fate of the main family, bound together in good and bad times. If the Lord suffers, they all suffer.

"What happened?"

Wu Ming saw Steward Wu's eager expression and his heart throbbed.

I have to say that although this man is extremely wicked, he is still a good henchman. After the last Lin Qi incident, I've done a good job of treating the injury and making things right, this autumn harvest is among the most prosperous.

That was true, but of course, something happened.

"There is a lawsuit asking for a life in Qinshi Village, the main offender is from the Wu Family's side branch, and there many other scandals…"

Steward Wu immediately said and his face was both white and red.

"What does this have to do this me…"

Wu Ming said half-heartily, but suddenly he was startled; it was indeed related!

This is the world of Great Zhou and he has found out that he is in a township of Clear Phoenix Prefecture and Peaceful Cloud County.* This township has jurisdiction over three villages. The Wu Family is centered in Dock Fort and covers an area of 2000 acres, it's a real giant.

In the Zhou system, the county has the Inspectorate, which is responsible for thieves but there is also a Township Inspector in the townships.

However, even in the Peaceful Cloud County, the Wu Family is still quite influential but it is a first-rate local tyrant. According to the unspeakable rules, although the Township Inspector is still in the Inspectorate, it is actually the Wu Family's man.

I remember that this dude was careless and heartless. The son was thrown at the Martial Arts Instructor Feng Han and then, the head was cut off by Lin Qi. Afterward, his family received all kinds of pensions and even a few acres of land. But the Township Inspector's post was received and Wu Ming had not yet figured out which one to hand over.

Now, encountering this matter, the Township Inspector will naturally come out.

Needless to say, there is the existence of the Wu Family's side branch.

In ancient times, Wu Ming, who is the Wu family patriarch, would need to open the Ancestral Hall himself if something goes wrong in the family and deal with it.

'In ancient D county, the rule of the village is weak. It was all based on the clan autonomy so it is necessary to pay attention to 'filial piety', rituals, and sacrifices…'

Wu Ming thought of this and his heart turned cold.

What is the concept of two thousand acres? The entire Peaceful Cloud County only has 300 000 acres of land, amounting to almost 1%.

With this foundation in hand, as long as there was not a particularly severe drought, it would be thousands of taels of silver coins every year. It's an unshakable harvest, not even bothering to operate, the roots of a family's rise!

Sister Wu's brother has no close relatives, only a few distant side branches but what kind of skills and abilities does he have to be able to hold this?

At this time, after he knocked his head for a few times, he remembered that the former Wu Family was just a small landlord with a hundred acres.

It was only after Wu Qing's rise, even after she entered the Dao Institute, that he was exempted from taxes and so many people wishing to join, making the size of two thousand acres.

In fact, if it wasn't for the new Township Inspector, the former prodigal losing some money, it would may even be three thousand acres!

"I'm going to…I didn't think that Elder Sister Wu Qing is so fierce! It's almost equivalent to a person's status…"

Wu Ming thought about it and said to Steward Wu: "Exactly… Isn't Bluestone Village not finished with some accounts? Call a few people, let's go!"

Before returning, all the Overgod Palace's missions were completed so Wu Ming had nothing to do.

"As you bid!"

Steward Wu immediately bowed and called someone. Wu Ming looked at his back but did not know why there was a throb in his heart.

"Inexplicably flustered, is it a whim of a Martial Artist? Just kidding… What else I can do in the Great Zhou world?"

Having said that, Wu Ming's eyes were still a little stunned: "Come here! Call Master Feng Han to join me!"

Innate Martial Artist, True Qi condensed into the body and return to Innate. Basically, they are rarely affected by secular diseases and would not feel palpations for no reason.

Wu Ming saw the messenger go to report the message. He calmed down and smiled: "I am really… afraid of them!"

……

"The event is done!"

Seeing that the seven riders stood out in the fortress, the one who had been monitoring outside the fortress blinked and secretly released a grey sparrow.

The inconspicuous grey sparrow fluttered its wings, walking through the air and fell on a person's shoulder again.

"Daoist Qingping, is the Wu Family's fruit coming out?"

The man next to him looked the gray bird resting on the Daoist's shoulder with a bright gaze.

It is the two people who have been waiting outside the Wu Family Fortress!

"Naturally! I've seen the man arranged under the Wu family. He is an elaborate person who never admits his mistakes!"

Daoist Qingping's eyes seemed to release a smoldering fire: "Deacon Yu, the rest will act according to the plan!"

"Good! I wish you all the best!"

Deacon Yu grinned, his confidence in the Daoist is very high.

……

"Bluestone Village!"

Wu Ming naturally did not know this and with Steward Wu, Feng Han, and four elite family members, he quickly rushed to Bluestone Village in horseback.

"Great Young Master Wu is here!"

As soon as they've entered the village, several old villagers waited, their faces full of humility.

Not humble, half of the villagers are tenants of other people, how can the spine be so hard?

"There are people out there? I will see you all!"

Wu Ming dismounted and walked into a tile house in the east of the village.

The yard is not large, the ground is made of water mill bricks, the windows are bright and there is a small sunbathing yard. In the countryside, this is simply a mansion.

'The main family of the Wu Family only has two people, Wu Qing and Wu Ming. The rest are from remote branches and the branch is in a village ten miles from here. I heart that in the beginning, for the sake of the land, there are dirty deals and Wu Qing was not allowed to see…'

If it was a core, I would have to go to the fortress together.

After all, within a fortress, granaries, warehouses, mills, blacksmith shops, even doctors are prepared. Just like a small kingdom where safety is unusual, this county is as dangerous.

But now, in addition to Wu Ming and Wu Qing, the people who live here are only composed of family, servants, and the most loyal tenants.

"It's just… although it's a distant branch, this kind of thing has some impact in my family's voice…"

Wu Ming frowned and went to see the main room.

"The incident happened here, I have not dared to touch anything!"

An old villager respectfully said as he opened the curtain. Wu Ming glanced at it and saw one old and one young corpse covered in mats, making a black pool made of blood on the ground.

One of the old men was familiar. In memory, this person seems to be a distant uncle or the like but he had the idea of spreading a hundred acres of good land in the same year. Now when I see it, I feel quite aberrant in my heart.

Of course, this is not the time to think about this.

As soon as Wu Ming's ear moved, he caught a faint voice: "I've heard that it was a father-in-law who was smashed by the son, immediately becoming a bloody case…"

"Ah… Two lives! Then I've seen Dong's peach blossom eyes which are so fascinating, it is really a disaster!"

"Unfortunately, this evil creature is a stumbling block… The key of killing yourself, in the end, is to be of little conscience…"

……

Regardless of the relationship, this incident has a lasting impact on the Wu Family. At this time, Wu Ming's face suddenly sunk.

"Not good! Dong is hanged!"

At this time, another woman was panicking, making Wu Ming's face darker.
