-= Seeing that Xu Rong was convinced or not, he had already really lost the upper hand on his mouth, so he raised his hand and said, "There is an urgent matter below, I want to ask Mr. to do it, I don't know if Mr. is willing?" ”

Xu Rong listened and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the students will not be able to do this thing." ”

Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "Mr. is too modest again, I am afraid that only Mr. can do this thing." ”

He was afraid that Xu Rong would have to be humble again, so he immediately said: "Although our county is also in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many mountains and hills in the county, the water network is also quite dense, and the cultivated land is mostly scattered and small, and the ownership is very vague. In addition, since the emperor's ascension to the pole this year, he has encouraged agriculture, and the people in the county have reclaimed a large amount of wasteland, and the land area has become even more difficult to measure. Therefore, I would like to count and register all the land area, ownership, and barrenness under the rule of our county one by one, so as to lay the foundation for future governance......"

Xu Rong listened to Qiu Yizhi's gushing words, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: This is obviously supporting me far away! However, he agreed too early and too simply, and now there is no room for return!

I only heard Qiu Yizhi continue: "Although this matter is trivial, it is a major matter related to the long-term stability of the county magistrate, and it must be done by a talented person like Mr. It's just that the literary style in this county is not prosperous, and there are not many people who can read and hyphenate, so please ask Mr. to look for a few on this matter. ”

As he spoke, Qiu Yizhi took out two ingots of gold from his sleeve and handed them to Xu Rong, and continued: "These two ingots of gold are two taels to say the least, which is enough for Mr. to have half a year's curtain, and he can also buy some supplies such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and hire two helpers." As for Mr.'s residence, I think Zhao Chengxiao has found a very good house for Mr., and Mr. lives here and is not wronged......"

Qiu Yizhi kept babbling, saying that "Mr. still has something to do, just come to me to say", this article is finished-and Xu Rong has been stunned by him, and he can't say half a sentence with his mouth open.

Seeing Xu Rong's stupid and stupid expression, Qiu Yizhi felt funny in his heart, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and only smiled and said: "Okay, there are a lot of fine and soft things brought from Jinling, and they have to be sorted out, and when the yamen is in a mess, it is really unsightly, so Mr. Lao will come over to order it in the past few days." With that, he walked into the yamen without looking back.

When everyone saw it, they drove the car, carried it, and followed the fish of Qiuyi into the Yamen of Shanyin County, leaving only a lone Xu Rong standing in front of the gate of the county Yamen, not knowing what had happened.

After sending this Xu Rong away, Qiu Yizhi was in a good mood, and ordered everyone to pile up their luggage in the courtyard behind the county hall at will, and they didn't need to tidy it up immediately, and they had a full meal first.

Everyone was very nervous because they had encountered robbers on the road before, and they were even more tired after arriving at the county seat, so they were very happy to hear Qiu Yizhi's order.

Qiu Yizhi had extorted a sum of money from countless officials who wanted to trust the door in Jinling City before, and now although he is not rich, he is also very wealthy, so he took out dozens of taels of silver and handed it to Wu Ruofei, who has extraordinary cooking skills, and asked her to command in the middle, go to the restaurant to order banquets, buy ingredients and cook in person, in short, set up a few tables of tables, so that everyone under his command can also feast.

Wu Ruofei took the silver, walked around the front and back of the Shanyin County Ya, went into the kitchen to take a look, and raised his eyes to look at the sky, and then said to Qiu Yi: "Childe, I see that the county government is very spacious, and it doesn't look like it will rain this day, why don't you set a few tables in the yard, and I will cook a few dishes for you, how about you taste it?" ”

Wu Ruofei was already interested in cooking, and Qiu Yizhi was already overjoyed, so naturally there was no reason to refuse, and he said "good" in a row.

So Wu Ruofei gave orders one by one: first took out the pen and ink and opened a list, because the two sisters Yang Yinger and Yang Qiaoer were familiar with the county, so they asked them to go to the market to buy ingredients; He also asked Zhao Chengxiao to lead a few of his own soldiers to place tables, chairs and benches neatly in the courtyard.

Wen Lingjiao, who was guarding the side, saw that everyone had gone out to run errands, and she couldn't help but feel empty, so she took the initiative to step forward and said softly: "Miss Wu, you see that they are all gone, but I am the only one here, I don't know what I can help with?" ”

Wu Ruofei listened, covered his mouth and smiled: "Miss Wen, don't worry." I also need two helpers to cook, Qiu Gongzi, Mr. Lin and Miss Wei Chi are all rude, how can I get it? I kept Miss Wen and Miss He'er just to ask the two of them to come and give me a hand. I didn't know how to speak, but unexpectedly, the young lady took the initiative to ask, which was in line with my heart. I just wonder if the young lady is willing to give in and help me do some menial work? ”

Wen Lingjiao listened and nodded busily.

Qiu Yizhi on the side couldn't help but admire this scene when he saw it: this Wu Ruofei can be hot in Jinling City, where beauties gather, in addition to being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she also has her own means of dealing with the world, and it doesn't take a few words to make people happy and convincing, like a spring breeze - no wonder the literati admire her; It is no wonder that rich and high-ranking officials spend a lot of money for her; It's no wonder that the old bustard of the Qinglou offered her 300,000 ransom silver......

Wen Lingjiao saw that Qiu Yi's eyes were staring directly at Wu Ruofei, how did she know that his heart was fluctuating, but she said angrily: "What are you looking at? Spread your hands and wait to eat. ”

Qiu Yizhi knew what Wen Lingjiao was thinking, and only smiled: "I just think that Miss Wu is quite lawsome in giving orders like this, if it is not a woman but a bearded eyebrow, presumably the fame will not be under me." Then he laughed.

Lin Shuhan also helped: "That's right, the decision to kill is not inferior to a seven-foot man, and Lin also admires it very much." ”

Wu Ruofei listened to them talk more and more energetically, so he also scolded with a smile: "You two big men don't work, forget it, you are still talking about cool things, believe it or not, I sprinkled a handful of laxatives on one of your meals, so that you dare to make noise!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let's step back and let a few of you boudoirs show off here, okay?" Lin Shuhan said, then dragged Qiu Yizhi to the outside of the county government with one hand, and said again, "When I just entered the city, I saw that several peaks outside the county were neither high nor low, and the green trees were delicate, it was a beautiful scenery, why don't you accompany me to see it?" ”

Qiu Yizhi also said: "Mr. Don't hide it, in Xiafu to this county, it was a big event, and the scenery around here has not been well appreciated." You might as well take advantage of this good time to go and have a look, maybe Mr. Lin can make a few good poems, let me taste it below! After that, he came out with Lin Shuhan.

The two of them did not leave the city, so they climbed the city wall of Shanyin County, which was not tall, and looked at the mountain scenery in the southwest.

But I heard Lin Shuhan say: "Although Lord Qiu was born poor, his identity is extremely noble, I don't know why, he has such a relationship with Wen Lingjiao, a cult saint?" ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he realized that Lin Shuhan invited him to enjoy the mountain scenery, but in fact, the drunkard's intention was not between the mountains and rivers, so he replied: "I knew that Mr. would have this question, and I would have to ask Mr. sooner or later." Now there are no outsiders around, so I just want to talk to Mr. in detail. ”

So Qiu Yizhi told Lin Shuhan in detail how he met Wen Lingjiao in Guangyang City, and the process of the separation of the two on the eve of the rebellion - but in it, he used the power of the Tianzun Sect through Wen Lingjiao to rescue the emperor who was still the King of Youyan from the heavenly prison, which is related to the foundation of today's imperial court, so he will skip it.

Lin Shuhan listened very seriously, and while listening, he nodded and said, "Although the teachings of the Tianzun Sect are perverse, it is not completely unreasonable that it can last for hundreds of years. Just looking at a weak woman like Wen Lingjiao, her knowledge and ability are no longer under her eyebrows, and she doesn't know what kind of person her brother, that is, the leader of the Tianzun Sect, is such a powerful person! ”

Qiu Yizhi sighed and said: "This person is haunted, I only know that this person seems to have a very thorough grasp of the world's major affairs, but I don't know what kind of identity he is hiding, let alone where he is now, it can be said that the dragon sees the beginning but not the end!" ”

Lin Shuhan nodded: "My lord just said that Wen Lingjiao was assigned by his brother to come to Jiangnan to do business, but I don't know what she is doing here?" ”

Qiu Yizhi frowned and said, "This is another strange thing. Wen Lingjiao said that she had received the news that the Jiangnan Tianzun Sect had spread widely in recent days, but the sect leader had not made arrangements for missionary matters, and wanted to find out who was pretending to be the sect leader and making his own claims. Saying that, Qiu Yizhi added, "Wen Lingjiao told me about this matter, how much is true and how much is false, and how much is hidden, I don't know very well, Mr. Lin will listen to it." ”

After Qiu Yizhi said this, Uncle Lin frowned and pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Even if Wen Lingjiao didn't lie to the adults, the matter here is confusing and difficult to decide. ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded again and said, "I am also worried about this matter, and I want to ask Mr. if you know any clues about the activities of the Jiangnan Tianzun Sect?" ”

Lin Shuhan shook his head and said: "The teachings of the Tianzun Sect are absurd, the people Lin knows, whether they are true Taoism or false Taoism, have always grown up reading the quotations of the saints, and I really haven't heard that any of them will believe in any Tianzun Sect......"

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he raised his hand and scratched his head vigorously, sighed and said, "It's no wonder. In the next step, he also followed several brothers to handle the rebellion case of the Tianzun Sect. Among them, the believers, except for a few backbones, are poor people who do not have enough to eat, or businessmen who have been caught for being rich and unkind. Not to mention serious scholars, there are very few good people who fish and weave. However, in the brothels of Qinglou in the capital, there are many people who are entrusted to the cult - Gu Erniang, who was hired by Yin Tai and wanted to kill us, is one of them. ”

While he was talking, he saw Wu Ruofei climbing the city wall step by step, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Young Master Qiu is really a treasure land of feng shui here, and outside the city is the magnificent scenery of green mountains, no wonder Mr. can watch it for so long." The meal is almost ready, just wait for the two of you to come over, and it can be served. ”

Qiu Yizhi agreed, and he wanted to beckon Uncle Lin to go down to the city wall to eat.

But I heard Lin Shuhan say: "If not, you know a lot of people on the banks of the Qinhuai River. I want to ask you, among the people who do the business of your academy, are there any people who believe in the Tianzun Sect? ”

Wu Ruofei was stunned for a moment and said, "Good and dignified, why did you ask about this?" ”

Uncle Lin said coldly, "Have you forgotten? The Wen Lingjiao who came with us, Miss Wen, is a great figure in the Tianzun Sect! ”

Wu Ruofei listened, as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Oops! Blame me, blame me. At that time, I was still vague when I was talking in the mountains and forests, and I saw that this Miss Wen was also a fairy-like figure, and she actually forgot her identity as a saint, and she was also one of the best in the entire Tianzun Sect. ”
