Chapter Thirty: Capturing Sparrow Divine Skill

  Zhang Jun continued to pronounce: "The principal offender, Jiaxing Prefecture Governor Wang An, as the parent official of a prefecture, knowingly broke the law. He will be escorted to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

  "Zhao Si, who committed a crime, is exempt from punishment due to his death. Zhou Tai, who reported the crime, has made contributions and will not be rewarded or punished as his merits and demerits cancel each other out."

  "Shen You, for his meritorious service in disaster relief, is hereby released from detention. Furthermore, considering Shen You's achievements, he shall be exempted from paying taxes for three years, with the hope that he will continue to work hard and share the burden of the imperial court."

  Shen You hastily got up and saluted Zhang Jun, saying: "Thank you, sir!"

  Hehe

  Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Shen You, you have suffered, the official will memorialize to the imperial court to confer upon you the title of Ren Yi Yuan Wai Lang, this can be considered as compensation for you!"

  Upon hearing this, Shen You thanked him again, took off his prisoner's uniform and changed into the clothes Yang Chengye had brought for him.

  "Good, the imperial envoy is wise and just, he's simply a reincarnation of Judge Bao!"

  The crowd outside the hall heard Zhang Jun's verdict and cheered.

  Only Yang Chengye sighed, Wang An was the disciple of Prime Minister Qin Hui, when he arrived at the Ministry of Punishment in the capital, would they really dare to sentence him guilty?

  He was acquitted and released at the time, and continued to serve as a governor in another place.

  Yang Chengye has personally experienced the corruption of Southern Song.

  At this time, Zhang Jun looked at Yang Chengye and asked: "Young Master Yang, I don't know what you plan to do next?"

  "Why don't you follow this official to the capital? With your intelligence and talent, your future prospects will be boundless!"

  Yang Chengye cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I only hope that my sworn brother will be innocent. As for me, three years from now, I will go to the capital to take part in the imperial examination."

  "Good, you have spirit!"

  Zhang Jun stroked his beard and praised: "In the future when you arrive in the capital, if there's anything you need, you can come find me!"

  Yang Chengye and Shen You left the county government office, took a carriage out of the city and returned to the Shen family.

  On the carriage, Shen You sighed: "I didn't expect this imperial envoy to be a good official, and it can also be considered as a clear stream in today's muddy world!"

  Yang Chengye did not comment on Shen You's praise for Zhang Jun, and instead asked him: "Big brother, what do you think about exempting three years of taxes?"

  "What else can we do? It's simply too good, let alone exempting three years of taxes, even if it's just one year, we'll make a huge profit. As for the aid provided to refugees, that's just a drop in the bucket."

  "Brother, I've decided, we're going to improve the meals for the disaster victims."

  Yang Chengye knew that the Huai River would recede in three months, and the refugees would return to their hometowns. In other words, Shen You only needed to provide assistance to the refugees for another three months.

  "Big brother, I have an idea."

  Yang Chengye suddenly thought of something and said to Shen You.

  "Brother, you speak." Shen You looked at Yang Chengye.

  Yang Chengye said: "Your starting point is good, but providing free supplies to disaster victims is not advisable and will only make them lazy."

  "It would be better for you to provide work instead of relief, let the disaster victims work and pay them wages, so that both parties benefit."

  After hearing Yang Chengye's words, Shen You smiled and said, "It's still better for you, brother, to think things through, let's do it this way."

  The two returned to the Shen family home, where the Shen family members had already received news and came out one after another to welcome them. Even all the refugees stood on both sides of the road to welcome them.

  Yang Chengye said a word to Shen You and then hastily left, he didn't like this scene, letting Shen You deal with it himself.

  Yang Chengye returned to his own room in the Shen family, planning to continue practicing and continuing his great cause of catching sparrows. Unexpectedly, Wu Ruolan had arrived.

  "Ancestor, what do you lock yourself in your room every day?"

  Wu Ruolan asked Yang Chengye as soon as she entered the house.

  Yang Chengye replied: "Mother, as long as big brother comes back safely, I will be at ease."

  "The child intends to study hard and read books. After all, in three years, he will go to the capital to take the imperial examination. If not, how can he face his deceased father with a reputation that has fallen to the level of his grandson?"

  After hearing Yang Chengye's words, Wu Ruolan was overjoyed and tearfully said: "My son has grown up!"

  "But even if you lock yourself up and study hard, you still won't be able to pass the imperial examination and gain a good reputation. Your mother has already asked your elder brother to hire a tutor for you, so that he can guide you. What do you think?"

  Yang Chengye smiled and said: "As expected of Mother, she has thought of everything, I'll just follow her arrangements."

  Upon hearing this, Wu Ruo Lan smiled and said: "Alright then, you're also tired, go rest early."

  Watching Wu Ruolan's departing back, Yang Chengye helplessly shook his head.

  He is now practicing internal strength, then using Zhou Botong's internal strength mind method to guide the output of internal energy, and then practicing the Easy Muscle Forging Bone Chapter has become Yang Chengyi's daily must-learn lesson.

  Shen's family lived behind the mountain, and Yang Chengye came here every day. The sparrows all over the mountain became his target for practicing lightness kung fu.

  From catching one at the beginning to catching dozens in the end, Yang Chengye's lightness skill has also improved a lot.

  Eyes, ears, skin and other senses can detect the position of the sparrow. The brain receives signals and sends instructions, and the body acts according to the instructions. This is a training for reaction ability, and the better coordination, the faster reaction.

  In this process, the light work has made great progress, and it is incomparable with several months ago.

  Yang Chengye felt that his lightness skills had improved quickly, but they wouldn't always progress at this speed.

  He felt his progress slowing down over time, and recently it's been almost stagnant.

  "Nowadays, there's no more progress in lightness skill, if you want to continue improving, you can only rely on inner strength to make up for the deficiency, but this is not a long-term solution."

  After practicing a set of Quan Ma Que Shen Gong, Yang Chengye thought that the quality of lightness skill depended on the method, apart from innate talent.

  Jin's book is most outstanding in lightness kung fu, belonging to Yun Zhonghe, Tian Boguang, and Tie Zhang Shui Shangpiao Qian Ren.

  Yang Chengye believed that although his natural talent was not as good as theirs, given time, he would not be too far behind.

  As for the method of movement, Yang Chengye didn't have any to begin with. Every excellent lightness skill has its unique body method and internal force circulation route, making the user not only faster but also more energy-efficient.

  Xu Zhu came down from the Drumming Mountain so quickly because he had obtained Wu Ya Zi's seventy years of skill, which was not much different from his own. Relying on his internal strength, he ran wildly and that day the figure would have found it difficult to escape even if he wanted to.

  If Cloud He and Yu Zhan also obtained 70 years of cultivation like Xian, their lightness skills would be so powerful that they could fly to the sky.

  Yang Cheng didn't have any qinggong skills and could only practice the martial arts recorded in the Nine Yin Manual.

  Heart-destroying Palm, White Python Whip, Snake-shape Weasel Turning Skill, and Great Fierce Demon Fist are all being cultivated, and becoming increasingly proficient.

  Even Yang Chengye, who is known for his sound skills, has cultivated to the second level. When he raises his voice and opens his sound, all living beings within a range of 10 meters will get headaches and feel like their heads are splitting open. Those closest to him may even be shaken so severely that they bleed from their seven orifices and die.

  All this is thanks to his life of opening up, and the decades of inner strength instilled in him by Huang Chang.

  Yang Chengye practiced Taoist kung fu, and there is also a saying that medicine and martial arts are not separated. He also planned to exchange a few medical books. Although he was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he was only a forensic doctor. As the saying goes, traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, who dares to guarantee that they can cure all diseases? If you can improve, why not do it with pleasure?

  But his idea was soon shattered.
