Having experienced the destruction of the Jurchen invasion, the prosperity of the capital city this summer was very different from previous years. Merchants and travelers from other places filled the streets and alleys of Bianliang more lively than in previous years. Inside and outside the city, people from different directions and with different purposes gathered and traveled non-stop.

Everything is waiting to be rebuilt.

May 5th, Little Candle Workshop.

The sun was at its zenith, and the semi-circular building was packed with people, both inside and out. On the ring in front of the building, two martial artists were fighting fiercely, and cheers from men and women were heard from upstairs and downstairs from time to time.

Little Candle Workshop was originally one of the most famous brothels in the capital city, but today, it was not a song and dance performance that appeared in front of this building. Those who appeared and gathered upstairs and downstairs were mostly heroes of the green forest and respected figures of the martial arts world. Among them were the original boxers and masters of the capital city, the established elders of the Imperial Boxing Hall, and even more green forest people from outside with different eyes and different appearances.

Some of them were tall and imposing, with young disciples or followers, and were grandmasters who had opened schools and taught apprentices in other places. Some carried swords and sabers and had arrogant eyes, and were often young people with some skills who had just come out to make a name for themselves. There were monks, Taoists, and old men and women who looked unremarkable, but were actually the most difficult to deal with. Today, on the Dragon Boat Festival, hundreds of heroes of the green forest gathered here to add color to the green forest assembly in the capital city, and at the same time, to seek a way to become famous.

On the front of the building were some officials from the capital city, the helmsmen of large families, who came to help stand on the platform and select talents. Although it was not during the martial arts examination period, the people who practiced martial arts had become popular after the capital city had suffered from the war. Hidden in various events, there were also such grand gatherings unfolding, which could be regarded as a martial arts conference. Although the people selected might not be able to convince everyone that they were "the best in the world", it was still an opportunity to become famous, which made the martial artists who entered the capital city during this period flock to it.

Sitting in the center of the building, slightly to one side, was also a man with his hand on a giant Que sword, sitting upright like a pine tree, occasionally commenting and discussing with the people next to him. That was Tie Tianying, the chief constable of the Ministry of Justice.

****************

At the end of last year, the land within a hundred miles of Bianliang became a battlefield. A large number of people migrated and left, and when the Jurchens attacked the city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died in battles of all sizes. As a result, when the Jurchens left, there were already a large number of population vacancies, commodity vacancies, and power vacancies in the capital city.

The Wu Dynasty was prosperous, so people from other places flocked to it.

Merchants seek profit, and may fear war, but they will not avoid opportunity. In the past, in the war between the Wu Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, they also retreated and paid tribute after negotiations. It seemed humiliating and disgraceful, but afterwards, the mutual market between the two sides filled all the vacancies with the profits of border trade. The Jin people are barbaric, but at most they will fight a few times, and perhaps they will fall into the previous cycle again. Although the capital city is not peaceful, how many times can there be such a vacuum opportunity in a hundred years?

Large merchants from other places focused on the profits of border trade, and even if small and medium-sized merchants transported goods to the capital city, they could make a lot of money. The wealthy gentry and prominent families from other places coveted the power vacuum in the capital city at this time, and promoted their officials and merchants to enter the capital, seize the opportunity, and get a share of the pie. Literati and scholars who had heard about the invasion came to the capital city with the idea of saving the country, either to promote the idea of saving the country, or to serve various senior officials, trying to find an opportunity to enter officialdom. In short, the capital city became more and more lively as a result.

The situation on the white path and on the surface was already so prosperous, and the movements between the underworld and the green forest were not peaceful either. Those who have learned literature and martial arts want to serve the emperor. Even if they cannot enter the high-end imperial establishment, it is often a way out for people in the green forest to find some high-ranking officials, wealthy families to hold their thighs. At this time, all kinds of underworld and green forest people gathered towards the capital city, either alone, wanting to become famous through martial arts, or in small and large gangs, each with their own ambitions. After the Jurchens left, the publicity for martial artists also played a big role, so that recently, grand gatherings of masters and experts meeting friends with martial arts have been heard inside and outside the city, and some martial arts celebrities or spirited young people have made a name for themselves in the capital city with their hard work.

As for the assassinations and private fights that occurred under this wave of martial artists due to various power struggles and interest disputes, they broke out repeatedly and endlessly.

The original green forest celebrities and underworld figures in the capital city were therefore greatly impacted. The experts and bosses who survived the defense war were either challenged by newcomers or had quietly retired. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward, and a new generation buries the old. In fact, not many people were able to survive during this period.

The fighting of the lower-level green forest, the infighting of officialdom interests, and the competition of wealthy families, during this period, were intricately gathered inside and outside the million-person city of Bianliang. At the same time, there were also various new things and new policies introduced. The gathering of more than 100,000 troops gathered outside the city had already begun to plan to strengthen the Yellow River defense line. The gathering of various voices and information also brought huge workloads and dizzying working conditions to officials at all levels in the capital. Among them, Kaifeng Prefecture, the Patrol Department, and the Ministry of Justice were the most impacted. Several chief constables of the Ministry of Justice, including Tie Tianying, Chen Qinghe, and Fan Zhong, were already operating at overload and were extremely busy.

There are a total of seven chief constables in the Ministry of Justice. Usually, Chen Qinghe is in charge of the capital, and he is in charge of major cases. However, in the past, there were many powerful forces in the capital, and the situation in the green forest was relatively peaceful. Sometimes, if something really big happened, the chief constable of the Ministry of Justice usually couldn't handle it. That was something that the major forces would naturally solve. The current situation has changed. Tie Tianying, who had returned to the Ministry of Justice to report on his duties, was left behind. Later, Fan Zhong was transferred back to the capital. They were all first-class experts in the Jianghu world and were well-known. Sitting here could deter many people after all.

Not long ago, Tie Tianying kept a close eye on the Qin Mansion and Ning Yi, which was the result of trying to figure out the emperor's will. The Secret Investigation Department and the Ministry of Justice had frictions over many things. At that time, because the Northern Expedition was the main theme, the Prime Minister of the Right was in favor with the emperor. Even Cai Jing consciously avoided it, and Wang Fu was even more obedient. Later, in the Fang Qifo incident, Tie Tianying was also severely plotted against by Ning Yi. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to get back at him, and in the process, he officially confronted him.

After the Su Tan'er incident, Tie Tianying suddenly realized that if the two sides fought to the death, his side would not be able to get rid of the other party. He was wary of Ning Yi's strange personality, but Chen Qinghe, Fan Zhong, and others felt that he was making a big deal out of it. After confirming that Su Tan'er was not dead, they were relieved and quickly went to deal with the other things that had piled up in the capital.

Tie Tianying was also overwhelmed with various things. He was dizzy with busyness, but of course, there were more things and more kickbacks. Whether it was a wealthy family or a newcomer in the underworld who wanted to make a big career, to gain a foothold in the capital, in addition to being brave and daring to fight, who would not give the Ministry of Justice a little face and smooth things over?

He was on a continuous loop of banquets, receiving money until his hands cramped. He either tried to win over and encourage newcomers with backgrounds, or knocked down the guys who had crossed the line. In such busyness, Tie Tianying was always wary of Ning Yi. However, since Qin Shaoqian was imprisoned, the case of the Prime Minister of the Right had been dug deeper and deeper. Many people who had been watching the situation at the beginning had now recognized the situation and began to join the ranks of overthrowing the Prime Minister of the Right. In contrast to the prosperity of the capital city at this time, the Prime Minister of the Right's faction was declining day by day and gradually collapsing.

As Ning Yi said that day, they watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse. For bystanders, every power change seemed to be grand, but in reality, there was nothing surprising. Before Qin Siyuan was imprisoned or at the beginning of his imprisonment, the Prime Minister of the Right's faction was still very active, and others were still watching the situation. But soon after, the Prime Minister of the Right's faction turned to seek self-protection. In fact, in the Wu Dynasty court in recent decades, there were not many ministers who could resist under the joint suppression of the Cai faction and the Tong faction.

With the imprisonment of the Prime Minister of the Right, the most deeply involved was the Yao family, a prominent family in the capital. Yao Zunian, a great Confucian scholar, and his family were arrested by the Ministry of Justice, and the foundation of their foundation was shaken. Jue Ming, a Zen master who originally had a deep relationship with the Qin family, was soon ordered to reflect in the temple and could no longer come forward to run around. Some disciples and family members who had a close relationship with Qin Siyuan were more or less affected. As for Ning Yi, in the April and May period when new talents emerged in the capital, his Zhuji was also closed everywhere. Some were instigated by people with ulterior motives and smashed, and the shops were destroyed and no longer opened.

If Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and others had not paid attention to this person, perhaps not many people would have noticed this force related to the Prime Minister of the Right in the context of the fall of the Prime Minister of the Right. No matter how big Zhuji's business was, the identity of a merchant would not attract too much attention. Every big family had such retainers, but they were just lackeys. It was also under the attention of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and others that senior officials such as Wang Fu noticed this most special figure among the Qin Mansion's staff. He was not of high origin, but he came up with ingenious plans and made achievements in several major events. However, after the initial running around, this person quickly settled down. Especially in late April, after his wife was affected and survived by chance, his forces quickly fell silent on the lively stage of the capital, and it seemed that he no longer intended to cause any trouble.

Everyone withdrew their attention.

Only Tie Tianying still retained a part of his heart at this time. In the context of the rising fame of Chen Jianyu, "Tai Yi" in the capital, Tang Hensheng, the "Eastern Heavenly Divine Fist" of the Southern Green Forest, leading his disciples to kick eighteen martial arts schools in a row and winning consecutive victories, the heroes of Longxi entering the capital, the Great Bright Religion beginning to spread to the capital, and the underworld fighting twice a day, whenever he passed the closed Zhuji shop, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

In the level he had understood in the past few years, with the power of the Prime Minister of the Right's mansion, "Heart Demon" Ning Yi had a pivotal position in the Bianliang underworld. He certainly wouldn't do childish things like kicking the gym, but in the past, none of the underworld bosses in the capital dared not give Zhuji face. Of course, there was the reason of the Prime Minister of the Right's face, but there were many people in the green forest who wanted to kill him to become famous. Once they entered the capital, they often didn't return. He had a grudge with Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Bright Religion, and was even able to firmly suppress the Great Bright Religion in the south for the past two years, preventing it from going north. This was strength.

For big figures like Cai and Tong, they were too lazy to even look at this kind of unconventional strength, but after the Prime Minister of the Right fell, the power he retained on hand was the most. Although Zhuji's shops were closed and many people left, the core strength of it had not been touched.

According to Tie Tianying's understanding of Zhuji these days, the structure of this shop established by Ning Yi was very different from the shops outside at this time. Although the origins of its internal employees were from all walks of life, after entering Zhuji, after a series of "showing favor" and "giving benefits", the core members were often extremely loyal. In the past few years, most of them lived together in groups, living and encouraging each other, meeting and chatting together every few days, and performing programs or competing in martial arts from time to time.

They had experienced several major events, including the earlier disaster relief publicity, the later clearing of the fields and strengthening the walls, and the resistance against the Jurchens. Zhuji internally publicized these things as extremely enthusiastic. If it weren't for the lack of doctrines like the Manichaeism and the Great Bright Religion, Tie Tianying really wanted to portray them as an underground cult and report them to the higher authorities.

During this period, the part belonging to Zhuji's guards was particularly tenacious. Some of them believed in Buddhism and were religiously muddled. They often engaged in ascetic practices and were completely different from ordinary martial artists. The Ministry of Justice had preliminary news that they were former Liangshan bandits who had repented and joined Zhuji to atone for their sins. Tie Tianying didn't believe it at the moment. However, these people enjoyed being abused when fighting with others, were not afraid of death, and were extremely troublesome. The other part was the green forest martial artists that Ning Yi had successively taken in. After several major events, these people's loyalty to Ning Yi had risen to the level of worship. They often believed that they were fighting for the country, for the people, and for the people of the world. Tie Tianying scoffed at this, but he couldn't find a starting point for turning them against him for a while.

These people added up had rarely met their opponents in the capital. At this time, many of the remaining ones had even faced the test of the Jurchens on the battlefield. At present, new talents were emerging in the capital, but they had restrained themselves and were lurking in the dark. Since Ning Yi said to him, "I won't give you Fang Qifo's head again", Tie Tianying had always had a premonition that that man would not give up.

Even if his wife was safe, he would choose to take revenge.

Because of this feeling, in the days from the end of April to the beginning of May, on the one hand, he was dealing with various matters in the capital, and on the other hand, he was trying to investigate and infiltrate Zhuji in his spare time to find out the other party's thoughts and arrangements. It was a pity that after the Jurchen attack, the Ministry of Justice's manpower was not enough, and he couldn't spare too much energy to do this for the time being. In the case that Chen Qinghe and Fan Zhong were unwilling to wade into the muddy water again, at the end of April, he wrote another letter to Zong Feixiao, telling him to pay more attention to Zhuji's movements.

It was Zong Feixiao who forced Su Tan'er into the river a few days ago. If Ning Yi wanted to take revenge, he would definitely bear the brunt. Tie Tianying believed that Zong Feixiao would understand the seriousness of it.

On the one hand, he was doing these things. On the other hand, the trial of Qin Siyuan in the capital seemed to be coming to an end. Zhuji was still silent. On this day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Tie Tianying was invited to the martial arts conference at the Little Candle Workshop to oversee the situation, and he heard people talk about Ning Yi again.

That person was a famous figure from the green forest of Huainan, nicknamed "Red Fist" Ren Hengchong. After entering the capital, he challenged two famous masters in a row. When commenting on the martial artists in the capital, he said, "Before I entered the capital, I heard about the evil reputation of 'Heart Demon' in the Jianghu world. This person hid in the capital and did all kinds of evil with the power of the Prime Minister of the Right. During this period, dragons and tigers gathered in the capital, and the situation changed, but I haven't heard of his name appearing."

Someone next to him said, "This person is famous for taking advantage of the situation. Now that the Prime Minister of the Right's evil name has spread and he has been disgraced, how dare he, as a lackey, come out to be arrogant again? Moreover, I have also heard of the name of Heart Demon. He mostly uses unorthodox methods and wins by taking advantage of the situation. Everyone with knowledge in the world disdains him. Now that heroes are gathered in the capital, this person is probably hiding."

"He is indeed hiding." Someone nearby interjected. This person was holding a treasured sword, and his figure was as straight as a pine tree. It was Chen Jianyu, "Tai Yi", who had recently risen to fame in the capital in the past two months. His nickname was originally "Tai Yi Sword", but later people felt that this person's name already had the word sword, so they removed the sword from the nickname and used "Tai Yi" as his title, vaguely aspiring to be the best in the world, which showed his momentum even more.

Everyone looked at him. Chen Jianyu looked at the competition on the ring and said, "The residence of this Heart Demon in the capital, if one wants to inquire, is not a secret at all. He lives in the Huangbai Hutong, and the mansion is heavily guarded, probably because he is afraid of people seeking revenge. He doesn't even dare to show his face when he becomes famous. Recently, quite a few people have come to challenge him. I went there yesterday and openly issued a challenge letter. Humph, this person actually didn't dare to accept the challenge, and only dared to have his housekeeper come out to reply... I used to hear people say that this Heart Demon has killed countless people in the green forest, and can vaguely compete with Zhou Tong, Grandmaster Zhou, for the title of the best in the world. Only now do I know that seeing him is not as good as hearing about him."

"Hahahaha." That "Red Fist" Ren Hengchong laughed loudly, "How can he be worthy of the title of the best in the world. Back then, in the green forest, there were rebels Fang La and Fang Qifo who were famous in the south. Although they were rebels, their martial arts were really strong. Sikong Nan's light work was superb, and his Soul-Searching Blade was hard to defend against. Grandmaster Zhou's iron arm was invincible, and Hongyan Baishou, although a flash in the pan, was also a solid name. What's going on now, a person who is famous for his scheming can also be praised as the best in the world? In my opinion, now in the green forest, these grandmasters are all fading, but there are a few people who can compete for the title, such as the rebel Chen Fan, who is Fang Qifo's disciple. When he avenged his master, he personally beheaded Sikong Nan, which can be considered as one..."

"If you really want to talk about the best in the world, I know a person who deserves it without any doubt." Before Ren Hengchong could finish his words, someone interrupted him from a seat not far away. It was Tang Hensheng, known as the "Eastern Heavenly Divine Fist". This person founded the "Eastern Heavenly Martial Arts Hall" and had many disciples in the southeast, who were very famous. At this time, he said, "If you want to talk about the best, Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Bright Religion, is not only superb in martial arts, but also upright and kind, and helps the poor in times of need. Today, he is the only one who can be the best in the world."

That Ren Hengchong said, "Old Tang, the best in the world can only be known by fighting, and it's not something that can be counted by comparing character."

Both of them were famous for their fist techniques. Although Tang Hensheng was highly skilled in martial arts and had a great reputation, Red Fist was not easy to deal with either. In the martial arts world, it was not strange to compare skills. At this time, Tang Hensheng smiled, "Brother Ren, what do you think of Tang's martial arts skills?"

Ren Hengchong was unwilling to offend him too much on this matter, and cupped his hands, "Master Tang's fist techniques have reached a state of perfection. Ren is also a person who practices boxing, and I admire this very much."

Tang Hensheng smiled proudly, "Tang's martial arts skills can't be said to be the best in the world, but I clearly recognize the realm of martial arts skills. At the beginning of last year, Tang once exchanged blows with Lin, the leader of the Great Bright Religion, and a few years ago, Tang also asked Zhou Tong, Master Zhou, to teach him fist techniques. To be honest with you, I lost both times, but I can say whether the realm of martial arts is high or not."

Iron Arms Zhou Tong, the leader of the Great Bright Religion Lin Zongwu, both of these two can be regarded as towering figures in the green forest. Half a year earlier, there was still the position of Heart Demon, but at this time, everyone naturally scoffed at it. Tang Hensheng was able to exchange blows with these two one after the other, so it was no wonder that he could beat all the masters in the capital. Everyone yearned for it and stopped to listen to him.

He heard him say, "Tang has always been extremely admired by Zhou Tong, Master Zhou. In terms of martial arts, both of these two have reached a state of perfection, but if you really want to judge who is higher or lower, Tang believes that Leader Lin's martial arts cultivation is unprecedented and surpasses Master Zhou by half a step. Everyone has not had the opportunity to exchange blows with Leader Lin. If you have the opportunity in the future, you may wish to take the initiative to ask him for advice when you see Leader Lin. Leader Lin is open-minded, modest, and welcomes people who spar with him. He is not only not angry, but also gives a lot of guidance. Tang has received guidance from Leader Lin and benefited a lot. His subordinates are full of talents, such as Mad Tiger Wang Nanda, Quick Sword Lu Bingyuan, and Monkey King Li Ruoque, who are all grandmaster-level experts... Saying something like Heart Demon today is nothing more than a chicken and dog. But since we are talking about it today, these two days, we may as well go to the residence of that Heart Demon and issue a challenge to him."

Tang Hensheng made this suggestion as he spoke. The people here at the moment all want to become famous, such as that "Tai Yi Sword". Previously, he had not gathered everyone to challenge him, so others did not know that he had challenged Heart Demon and was avoided by the other party, which was a pity, so he said it at this gathering. This time, someone proposed it, and everyone echoed one after another, deciding to go to that Heart Demon's home together tomorrow to submit a challenge letter.

Hearing them discuss this, Tie Tianying's heart moved. He intuitively felt that Ning Yi would not be moved by it at all, but in any case, if he could find some trouble for the other party and force him to lose his temper, perhaps his side could find loopholes and seize some handles of Zhuji, or perhaps have the opportunity to see the power that Zhuji was hiding at this time. Thinking this way, he immediately spoke out to encourage them.

These people were of course side-door forces in the capital that could not be brought to the stage. They and Tie Tianying did not expect that a few days later, a huge firefight involving the power of Zhuji that they could not be involved in at all would appear in front of them.

All of this started from the final settlement of Qin Siyuan's case, and although the subsequent development had some clues, it was still beyond Tie Tianying's expectations...
