Chapter 196: The Stone Record

"Good morning, Lord Lu. ”

When Ji Niangzi heard the voice, she turned around and saluted, her little face was white and red, and there was a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Well, I'm still a little hungry, so I'm looking for something to eat. ”

Lu Qian nodded and smiled slightly.

"It will be fine soon. Ji Niangzi smiled gently, walked over, and touched her little daughter Yaoyao's head: "Good, go and practice calligraphy." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Yaoyao nodded heavily, turned around and jumped, leaving the kitchen like a bunny.

As soon as she left, Ji Niangzi's face was slightly red: "Lord Lu, the slave family has a reluctant request, I don't know if to talk about it?"

"Say it. Lu Qian glanced at the porridge cooked in the pot and nodded secretly, it was the sea fish porridge he liked.

"The slave family wants to learn martial arts. Ji Niangzi said weakly.

"Okay, like Ruoshui, you can just go find a female martial artist to practice. ”

Lu Qian nodded happily in agreement.

"Thank you, sir!"

Ji Niangzi suddenly showed a look of joy, bowed deeply, and said: "It's just that the slave family is dull, and when practicing martial arts, you will definitely encounter difficulties. ”

"No problem, but I usually don't have time during the day, so can I do it at night?"

Lu Qian replied casually.

When Ji Niangzi heard this, her face showed gratitude, and she hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, my lord!"

"You're welcome, the porridge is going to stick to the pan. ”

Lu Qian waved his hand slightly and pointed to the boiled sea fish porridge.

"Oops!"

Ji Niangzi exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly turned around to cook the meat porridge.

Soon, the delicious fish porridge came out of the pot, and Lu Qian sat down and ate it directly. Soon after, a large table of breakfast was brought from the kitchen.

Lu Qian was not polite at all, and swept it all into his stomach.

During this period, Su Yingluo's three little guys woke up and grabbed food from him, naturally they were not his opponents.

Eating about the same, Ruoshui came over.

Just then, Lu Qian asked, "How is it, has the information of the merchants in the county been collected, and when will the Qingyang County Residence Travel Guide be compiled?"

This is a small treasury related to him, so naturally he has to hold on.

Ruoshui shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "The county town is too big, there is not enough manpower, and it will take three or five days to see all the merchants and shops." ”

"Three or five days?"

Lu Qian frowned: "I'll send ten more people to you later, let's get it out as soon as possible, besides, how is the bookstore business?"

"The bookstore is doing well!"

Ruoshui talked about this, and immediately smiled: "According to Lord Lu's intentions, after compiling the list of divine skills, divine soldiers, and anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, the reputation of the bookstore will be completely launched! Many martial arts people have heard about it and come to buy those few lists! In addition, it also sells well, I have recruited more than a dozen talented scholars, writing about the rivers and lakes every day, and there are ghost stories, all of which sell well!"

"It's a dead end written these days, and someone else writes?"

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face showed surprise.

Ruoshui Waner smiled and said: "Without him, if the Shui Book Bureau has the most money and the best benefits, someone will naturally come to write it." In addition, there are some rich ladies who also write some short poems to sell on weekdays. ”

"I see! What's the best-selling book right now?"

Lu Qian suddenly realized and asked with interest.

"It's a book called "The Book of Stones", written by a woman. ”

Ruoshui thought for a moment and replied.

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Qianleng paused.

"It tells the story of a woman who jumped out of the stone, holding a double knife, making trouble in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and dying together with the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and then being summoned to life by one hundred and eight demon generals, becoming the lord of the demon race, and finally breaking the situation of the three divisions of the world of the lich and demons, and the story of unifying the three worlds. ”

“...... Is this woman's name Monkey King?"

"No, this woman's surname is Lu, her name is Fengxian, and her name is Sanzang. ”

"What kind of nonsense, this is the best seller, and who is this author?"

Lu Qian asked with a frown.

Ruoshui smiled: "This man doesn't like it, but the woman likes it very much, and someone has bought a lot of sets." There are also people who write fandom and illustrate characters for free. As for the author, she was originally a crazy rich lady, but unfortunately, after she was cured, she could no longer write such aura!"

“......”

Lu Qian suddenly wanted to meet this rich lady.

At this time, Ruoshui Liu's eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "It's just that there seem to be a lot of disciples of the three major sects in the bookstore recently, and when they came to buy books, they saw that the divine skill rankings were stepping on one by one, and there were some disputes. ”

When Lu Qian heard this, he immediately became vigilant: "Hmm, this is the southeast of Daxuan, thousands of miles away from the three major sects, how could a large number of disciples of the three major sects suddenly appear?"

"They are all here to test martial arts and literature. ”

Ruoshui replied.

Ji Niangzi next to her added: "The slave family has also heard about it, it seems that the dozen or so states of the three major sects have been cut to the number of martial arts and scholars, and they came over to participate in the scientific examination. ”

"It's a borrowed student!"

Lu Qian suddenly understood.

The influence of the three major sects is huge, and there are many elite disciples, and they are all participating in the martial arts in a swarm, and it is not good that all the disciples of the three major sects who participate in the palace examination in the end.

Zhao Xuanji naturally didn't want to see this situation, so he limited the number of hires in those dozen states.

Unexpectedly, the disciples of the three major sects did not give up, and actually came to Qingzhou to participate in the martial arts examination.

In this way, wouldn't the county exam in 12 days be more intense?

Lu Qian tapped on the table, his brows furrowed slightly.

The arrival of the disciples of the three major sects is not just as simple as squeezing out the quota of martial arts.

The various sects of martial arts have always acted according to the faces of the three major sects.

In other words, when the disciples of the three major sects came to Qingzhou, there must be a lot of martial arts people who also ran over! This group of guys, acting unscrupulously and doing whatever they want, will definitely cause a lot of trouble!

"It seems that the patrol house has to be built quickly!"

Lu Gan's eyes flashed, and he got up and said: "Ruoshui, you hurry up and compile the guide, as for the affairs of the sect disciples, you don't have to pay attention, if someone dares to make trouble in the bookstore, just send a signal!"

"Yes!"

Ruoshui nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Lu Gan left directly, summoned Sun Hei, and prepared to go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for money.

The construction of a patrol house is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, so naturally you have to ask the county guard to get the money, and besides, where to build it must also be planned and agreed by the small engineering department of the city lord's mansion.

It's just that before he could walk out of the Zhenfu Division, those people from the Xuanhuang Sect stopped him at the door, and they all opened their mouths to resign and return.

Lu Qian looked at Zhong Yuan and the group of people in front of him, and said coldly, "Do you really want to leave?"

"Yes, please be gracious. ”

Zhong Yuan, who was the leader, bowed his hand and bowed.

This group of goods is a thief!

Lu Qian sneered in his heart, and his gaze swept over everyone: "Okay! Hand in the letter of resignation!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly handed over the resignation letter with a bulging hand.

Lu Qian took them all, opened them and took a look, and found that there were stacks of golden tickets inside, which happened to be fifteen thousand taels of gold.

"Get out!"

Putting away the envelope, Lu Qian waved his hand and said coldly.

Everyone's faces froze, a little ugly, but they still left one by one.

Soon, Zuo Xi floated over and said solemnly: "That Elder Lei has disappeared, there is a letter of resignation for you in the room, as well as his official seal." ”

"Huh, hang the seal and leave?"

Lu Gan took the envelope handed over, opened it and saw that it was some high-sounding words, between the horizontal and vertical words, in fact, there were four big characters:

Don't want to give money!

"Congratulations, sir, clear out the inner ghosts! From now on, the Suppression Division will be controlled by the adults!"

Sun Hei looked overjoyed and congratulated.

Lu Qian put away the letter, his eyes were cold: "There is no inner ghost! Then you can transfer people over! Pass the order and let them come over on the 11th of Zhou in Shashui County!"

"Yes!"

Sun Hei took the order and left quickly.

Subsequently, Lu Qian and Zuo Xi left the Zhenfu Division, rode on the Molin horse, as fast as lightning, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

On the other side, after the Xuanhuang Sect that had just left quickly parted ways, there was a yellow-faced old man who got into a carriage.

Inside the carriage, a man in Tsing Yi was sitting.

It's just that the face of this man in Tsing Yi has only one cheek!

It looks extremely weird and infiltrating!

The two did not speak, and waited until the carriage drove to Qingyun Wharf in the middle of the Qingyang River before the carriage stopped.

"Lu Qiao is really dead?"

A deep voice came from the belly of the faceless man in Tsing Yi.

"Yes! In addition, the people from the Xuanhuang Sect were all driven away by Lu Gan!"

The yellow-faced old man trembled when he heard this, his face showed fear, and he bowed his hands.

"Did you find Ghost Luoyan?"

The faceless man asked again.

"I didn't ...... No. The yellow-faced old man replied in a trembling voice.

"Is that ......?"

The faceless man groaned for a moment, and on the forehead of his face, a blood cicada appeared, and a low voice sounded again:

"Then you can die. ”
