Chapter 46: The Covenant of the County (Part 2)
"Of course... There is another thing, I heard that there is a little immortal master here, I don't know..."
When Zhang Sheng saw Li Jue say this, he naturally agreed again and again.
Little Immortal Master? Ma Qiang thought about it, he should have said himself, so he stood up and said, "Is the county lieutenant talking about Xia, Zai Xia is not an immortal, but he is just a mortal, but he has more knowledge than ordinary people." ”
A sergeant behind Zhang Sheng came over and whispered a few words to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng nodded, and then bowed to Ma Qiang, "Taishou learned about the methods of the little immortal master, and admired it in his heart, I don't know if the little immortal master can move to the county guard's mansion, Lord Taishou has already prepared a banquet." ”
Saying that, Zhang Sheng hurriedly bowed to Li Jue and said, "Of course, it is best for Doctor Li to go." ”
Only then did Ma Qiang understand that Zhang Sheng was not only for Li Jue, but also for himself.
Although the official reputations of Liu Wei and Guo Xun are not very good, if they have a relationship, many of the plans behind can be realized.
Ma Qiang said, "His Holiness asked, I dare not refuse, please wait a while, I will explain." ”
"Of course."
Ma Qiang told Lu An and others that he was going to the county guard mansion for a banquet, and asked them to go back to the wine house first, Lu An was a little worried and said, "Although Liu Taishou is a member of the clan, his private morality is not good, I let Qingcheng go back with lime, and I called Guo Jin and others to wait for you outside the mansion, if you find that Liu Taishou wants to be unfavorable to you, run out of the door, and I should answer you there." ”
Although Ma Qiang felt that it was a little unnecessary, he still agreed, and then went to the county guard mansion with Li Jue and Zhang Sheng.
Jixian County was not too big, and after a while, everyone came to the outside of the county guard's mansion, which may be very luxurious for people in this era, but in Ma Qiang's view, it is neither as tall as the buildings of later generations, nor as magnificent as the Forbidden City.
That's it.
This is the same as when later generations are accustomed to seeing all kinds of beauties on the Internet, and then look at the so-called beauties around them in the real world, it is extremely difficult to have a feeling of amazement.
Outside the county guard's mansion, there was already a group of people waiting there, the first person was a rare fat figure in this era, with a greasy face and a goatee, thinking that he was too guarded by Liu Wei.
"Ah, yes, this should be the little immortal master, I have seen the little immortal master in Xia Liu Wei."
Before Liu Wei could step forward, he took the initiative to come down and bow to Ma Qiang, followed him, and the people behind him also bowed.
What the heck?
Anyway, if you are so superstitious, why don't you go to worship Cheng Zhiyuan.
No, then again, didn't I explain that slashing ghosts out of thin air is just a trick to use chemical reactions...
"Liu Taishou, the kid is just a mortal in the mountains, not an immortal master, please don't listen to the rumors in the countryside."
A person with a left-handed science and a right-handed Ma Zhe is called an immortal master, are you insulting science or Ma Zhe?
"Immortal master, don't be humble, the matter of you and the Taiping Dao Cheng Immortal Master about fighting is now known all over the city, if it is not an immortal master, who dares to fight with Cheng Immortal Master, who doesn't know that Cheng Immortal Master is a great sage and good teacher, and he is a strange person in the world."
Looking at Liu Wei's yearning look, yes, this person seems to really worship Cheng Zhiyuan.
But if you think about it carefully, there is still some truth in the superstition of a clan like Liu Wei, Liu Bang used the matter of cutting the white snake to say that the White Emperor and the Red Emperor, Liu Wei, as a descendant of the clan, naturally wants to believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world.
"Lord Taishou, it's windy outside, it's better to..."Liu Wei said one person next to him.
"Yes, yes, go in and speak, Immortal Master, please! Oh, and Doctor Li, I already know what happened today, don't worry, I will definitely punish County Lieutenant Zhang, and you please. ”
County Lieutenant Zhang looked at Li Jue with a pitiful face, Li Jue sighed and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the county lieutenant, it's just that the old man is jealous, and please don't blame Lord Zhang Sheng." ”
Liu Wei looked at Zhang Sheng and snorted, "Today, thanks to Doctor Li's intercession for you, otherwise I would have had to pull out your teeth!" ”
Ma Qiang dared to bet on a pack of spicy strips, but Liu Wei just thought Zhang Sheng had bad breath.
Everyone came to the hall of the mansion together, and the table and stool had been set up in the hall, fortunately, it was not a mat, Ma Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, if he was to sit up, he would really cry.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was a divided meal system, and there were wine and dishes on each table, Ma Qiang looked at it, most of them were meat, and it was really unhealthy to eat in this era, no wonder he didn't live long.
"Come, little immortal master today... By the way, I don't know the name of the little immortal master. Liu Wei suddenly remembered something and asked.
Ma Qiang's face is black, and he doesn't even know the other party's name, so he asks others to come to your house for dinner...
"Boy Ma Qiang, there are no words yet."
"Oh, Immortal Horse!"
Come on, call it whatever you like!
Ma Qiang is almost powerless to complain.
"Come, I'll introduce the immortal master." Liu Wei began to introduce the guests attending the banquet.
This is actually a small banquet, and there are not many people, all of them are officials in the Taishou Mansion.
After Liu Wei finished his introduction, he began to introduce Ma Qiang, "You may still know that Ma Xianshi fought with Cheng Xianshi of Taiping Dao today, and both parties performed the technique of killing ghosts out of thin air, which is really amazing." ”
"Lord Taishou." Ma Qiang stood up and bowed, "Didn't Lord Taishou hear that the villain had already said before, the so-called killing ghosts out of thin air is just using turmeric to turn red when it encounters alkaline water, not immortal art." ”
"Hehe, although this technique is not an immortal technique, it should also be the secret of the Daomen, if it is not an immortal master, how can you know?"
"My lord, there is no immortal art in the world at all, and my lord will know after I fight with that Cheng Yuanzhi in ten days."
"There is no immortal law? How to fight? ”
Looking at Liu Wei's expression, I have long seen through you, Ma Qiang is about to say dog, is this okay?
It's really the old saying, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, others just believe that you are a fairy, and even if you beat him, he thinks you are testing him, what do you say?
Liu Wei saw that Ma Qiang had nothing to say, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the struggle between Ma Xianshi and Cheng Xianshi is not easy to mix in the next mortal, but if Ma Xianshi wants to turn the conflict into a jade silk, he is also willing to contribute his meager strength." ”
"The villain is grateful to the adults, but that Cheng Zhiyuan used the words of the gods to deceive people's hearts and sell useless talismans to defraud money, and he will inevitably fight with him in the future."
Ma Qiang also thought about relying on this time to make a name for himself while keeping Taiping Dao away from him, how could he let Liu Wei destroy it.
Hearing this, Liu Wei stroked his beard and nodded, "It's okay... In the next lick for a county guard, there is a reluctant request, and please ask the immortal master to agree. ”
"Your Excellency, please speak." Ma Qiang was also a little curious about what Liu Wei called himself to do.
"Hey..." Liu Wei suddenly didn't know where to find a handkerchief and began to cry, the tears and snot, one by one.
"Lord Taishou.. What are you? ”
"The immortal master doesn't know anything, it's too difficult to keep this one!
In recent years, the county's disasters have been continuous, but the taxes demanded by the imperial court are unwilling to be reduced, and the official is also very uncomfortable when he sees the people going bankrupt for the payment of taxes..."Saying, Liu Wei woke up with a snot for a while, and then continued, "If the immortal master is willing to teach the official the art of turning stones into gold, then the people of this county will no longer have to pay taxes, and they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, even that Xianbei, the official can also bribe heavily to make it no longer violate the people, so he also asked the immortal master to teach me immortal arts, so as to save me the people of Guangyang County!" ”
Ma Qiang's mouth opened slightly, and only an elegant old man with white hair and beard flashed in his mind.
I've never seen anyone so brazen!
Isn't it just that I'm greedy for money, just say it, what nonsense is this, and save the people of a county, bah, I really have to have a little stone for gold, I can have one or two gold in the hands of the people, and I, Ma Qiang, will walk back to Dasong Village upside down!
