Chapter One Hundred and Twenty One The Troubled Water Bandits
It was not until the evening that my elder brother Liang Zhaojun came back.
Liang Zhaohuang went to pay a visit. The eldest brother was having dinner with spiritual meals. When he saw him, he called him to have dinner together.
He accompanied his elder brother to finish the spiritual meal and drink spiritual tea before he talked about the serious matter.
"Brother Seventeen, your trip was quite smooth, right?"
The eldest brother Liang Zhaojun asked first.
"Thank you for your concern, it's still going well." Liang Zhaohuang said, and said in a change of the subject: "But this trip, I encountered something. The Lu family in the "Yunshui" had a connection with the river bandits and the water bandits, and bribed some river bandits. The water bandits wanted to intercept me."
Liang Zhaohuang said, saying all the news he met the river bandit demon cultivator on Lujiang and the news he heard from the demon cultivator.
"Brother, this 'Yunshui' Lu family has always been entangled."
"I used the battle to fight in the River Inspection Department in the previous period, but I was a little better than anti-smuggling. Then the county magistrate came forward to suppress the possible revenge of the Lu family from the official face."
"Now, the Lu family is not giving up and actually contacted the bandits. It seems that they are going to take revenge on our Liang family from the underworld."
"We have to make plans early."
The eldest brother Liang Zhaojun heard Liang Zhaohuang's words, but his face was a little strange and said:
"Seventeenth brother, you may not know."
"Since about two months ago, some river bandits and water bandits entered the Changbu River Basin and invaded the water transport."
"I didn't know the reason before, but I just took my family's children and recruited some river inspection officers to clear out all the bandits and water bandits who entered the Changbu River."
"The results of the battle are pretty good, and after several clearings of river bandits, the family's children also received good training."
"The last group of water bandits are left now. According to the river bandits I captured, the ones called "Little Bandits of Lianwan" are still entrenched in a lake near Sanhekou."
"I have investigated their intelligence clearly. I have been preparing materials and personnel these days, and I am planning to wipe out the last batch of water bandits."
"Little Corps in Lianwan?" Liang Zhaohuang's expression changed slightly and asked, "Brother, have you investigated their information clearly? How many foundation-building monks are there in the Little Corps in Lianwan and how many Qi-refining monks are there?"
"Haha... Seventeenth brother, aren't you worried about brother?" Liang Zhaojun said confidently: "Brother, I've already figured out their bottom. There are three foundation-building cultivators in the 'Little Bandits of Lianwan', all of whom are in the early stage of foundation-building cultivation, and twenty-one Qi-refining cultivators."
"I have sent a message to my second sister and asked her to come back from the county town first. I was worried about where to find the third foundation-building monk, and I was still thinking about whether to ask Junhui's cousin to help contact an assistant."
"But now there is no need. Seventeenth brother, come back, the foundation-building cultivators are enough!"
"This time, our brothers and sisters joined forces to clear out all the river bandits and the water bandits that invaded the Changbu River Basin, and also expose the reputation of our Liang family."
The eldest brother Liang Zhaojun said confidently and enthusiastically.
However, Liang Zhaohuang did not look excited on his face, but instead frowned and thoughtful.
"Seventeenth brother, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Seeing this, Liang Zhaojun couldn't help asking.
"Brother, do you remember that I told you before that I encountered river bandits robbed and killed in Lujiang, and then the other party was taken down by that person and asked about the rewards from the Lu family?"
Liang Zhaohuang frowned and said.
"Of course I remember." Liang Zhaojun nodded.
"I asked some information from the river bandit demon cultivator and knew that there were three major bandits on Lujiang, and ten small bandits were entrenched. This 'Little Bandits in Lianwan' was one of the small bandits."
"According to the information I got from the River Bandit Demon Cultivator, each of the ten small bandits has at least five foundation-building monks in charge."
Liang Zhaohuang said with some concern.
"Seventeenth brother, you mean there is a fraud in it!"
Liang Zhaojun instantly understood what he meant and did not frown slightly.
"You must be careful!" Liang Zhaohuang said in a deep voice: "In this way, brother. The matter of dealing with the 'Little Bandits of Lianwan' is temporarily suspended. I will investigate the facts and figure out the situation before deciding how to clear them."
"Brother, what do you think?"
Liang Zhaojun nodded in contemplation and said, "Okay, be careful."
After talking about the water bandits, Liang Zhaohuang turned the topic to the patriarch and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I heard that my second uncle has returned to Liangyuan Township and hasn't been back for a month?"
Speaking of this, the eldest brother Liang Zhaojun looked slightly stiff, and then shook his head and sighed: "Seventeenth brother, you should go back to your hometown to pay homage to your second uncle in person."
"I have asked Ruizhao to return to his hometown to hire his second uncle twice, but his second uncle has always been reluctant to come back to the county town."
"well!"
Liang Zhaojun sighed as he spoke.
Ruizhao, also known as Liang Ruizhao, the eldest of the fourth generation of the Liang family, is also the eldest son of the eldest brother Liang Zhaojun.
Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang understood that the reason why the second uncle returned to his hometown and stayed in Liangyuan Township and refused to come back was probably not simple.
It's not just because of Liang Rui's concubine.
So he stopped asking questions and prepared to return home tomorrow to see the situation before talking about it.
After suppressing the topic of the second uncle, Liang Zhaohuang talked about the gains of this trip and said:
"Brother, I went to the Huaiyang Mountains this time to explore a stronghold of the "Beast Control Sect" there, and gained some of the "Beast Control Sect's"'s martial arts inheritance and information."
"However, there may be some problems with the inheritance of these martial arts, and the information needs to be sorted out."
"After I have studied it, I will confirm that there is no problem, and then send these exercises and materials to the family's 'Book Pavilion' for family children to learn and study."
"Okay! Seventeenth brother, you can decide these yourself." Liang Zhaohuang smiled and nodded, saying, "The family intends to let you take over the fifth uncle's class and be the next inheritance elder. These things that are related to the family's inheritance are enough for you to control."
Liang Zhaohuang knew about the inheritance elders.
The current patriarch of the Liang family is the second brother Liang Xuelin, and the inherited elder is the fifth uncle Liang Xuegui.
In a sense, the elders in inheritance master the Liang family’s inheritance and maintain the Liang family’s inheritance is more important than the clan leader.
Liang Zhaohuang was the first monk to build a foundation in the Liang family, and now he is also the strongest monk in the Liang family.
The Liang family was also quite confused about his arrangements for his status in the family.
The eldest brother once wanted to get Xian to replace him as the next patriarch.
However, Liang Zhaohuang had self-knowledge and was not a material to lead the family development, so he refused.
After the last discussion, he decided to let him replace Uncle Wu, as the elder of the family inheritance, protect the family inheritance, and also have the right to supervise the patriarch.
However, now that the Liang family has just developed, the handover between the old and the new has not been completed, the patriarch is still the second brother Liang Xuelin, and the inherited elder is still the fifth uncle Liang Xuegui.
After talking to my elder brother about the changes in the county and family over the past few months, Liang Zhaohuang said goodbye and left.
After returning to his residence to rest for a night, Liang Zhaohuang left the county town and rushed towards Liangyuan Township.
