Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Troubles of the County Honor

The New Year is approaching, and there are more people on the official road, although the world is in turmoil, but for businessmen, it is to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and take advantage of the New Year to naturally earn a little more.

Xie Zheng and Xie Miao galloped on both horses, but this time, they were not to investigate the case, but to invite people.

The last time they visited Funiu Town, whether it was Xie Zheng or Xie Miao, their hearts suffered a great impact, and it also made them understand that this world is more complicated than they imagined.

The two of them did not hide the affairs of the Peng family, and truthfully explained to the county one by one, after all, even if they didn't say it, the other party could know the exact situation from Peng Songlai.

After listening to the story of the Peng family, the county was speechless for a long time, and finally only said four words: What a strange person.

But Xie Zheng and Xie Miao never thought that just two months later, they had to invite the strange person in the county honor's mouth.

Lin'an County, located on the main road, runs through the north and south, if you look at it from a military point of view, then this is the place where soldiers must fight.

Gu Yaosen, the county magistrate of Lin'an County, that is, Peng Songlai's eldest son-in-law, has been tepid since he took office, but under this tepidness, he also infiltrated the whole county, one-third of the servants rushed home, and the two businessmen knelt in front of the yamen all night.

Gu Xianling, who has a kind face, even if he uses thunderous methods, is like a gentle wind and drizzle, but that chill can penetrate into his bones, and this is also one of the reasons why Su Chongshan is willing to befriend the other party.

But just recently, Gu Xianzun, who has always been difficult, also made a difficulty, and the seven rich families in the town were looted overnight, but the strange thing is that there was no trace left at the scene, and those belongings seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the whole thing was weird.

If it is only one or two, then Gu Yaosen's prestige can be suppressed, but this time there are too many rich people involved, and the union is also a force that is not weak, not to mention that this kind of thing is under his rule, and it also makes him duty-bound.

When the case reached an impasse, Gu Xianzun suddenly remembered the strange man on Funiu Mountain, in fact, after that incident, Peng Songlai sent his youngest daughter Peng Mi to live temporarily, so that the two sisters could talk about their hearts, and Peng Mi was kept away from the sad place.

Compared with the narrative of Xie Zheng and the others, Peng Mi undoubtedly spoke in more detail, and it was easier for Gu Yaosen to believe.

Therefore, this time the matter was quite strange, and even Xie Zheng's uncle and nephew were difficult to find out the truth for a while, so Gu Xianzun hit Mu Yi with his idea, after all, in the mouth of his sister-in-law, that Mu Yi was a fairy-like existence.

Gu Yaosen is not worried about whether he can invite Mu Yi, but he is also the lord of a county, and he believes that Mu Yi will give him some face.

So this task also fell to Xie Zheng's uncle and nephew, who were quite familiar with Mu Yi, but he didn't know that Xie Zheng's uncle and nephew were suffering all the way, they were not women like Peng Mi, or people like Gu Yaosen who could only read and become officials.

For Mu Yi, they have an instinctive awe, which is the awe of power and the unknown.

Although Gu Xianzun said it simply, they didn't think that it would be so easy to invite Mu Yi, the last time it was actually the Su family who came forward to let Mu Yi go down the mountain, and they didn't think they had such a big face.

As for the county honor, it may be unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, but they believe that the existence of Mu Yi will definitely not care too much, and even if it really provokes Mu Yi, it is not impossible for Lin'an City to change the county honor.

Therefore, the closer they got to Funiu Mountain, the heavier their mood became.

"Third uncle, what if he refuses?" When he was resting for a while, Xie Miao couldn't help but ask his third uncle after all.

Xie Zheng withdrew his gaze from the pedestrians on the official road, and glanced at his nephew lightly, "What else can I do?" Naturally, I went back to get back to the county lord. ”

"But ·····" Xie Miao couldn't help but wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xie Zheng with his eyes.

"You remember, if you offend the county zun, let's eat at most and fine some money, after all, your third uncle is also an old man in the county government, he just arrived, if it weren't for your third uncle in the middle to appease, do you think those errand servants would really be so honest? So he won't go too far. But I offended the one on Funiu Mountain, hehe. Xie Zheng smiled when he said this, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"If you offend the lord on Funiu Mountain, we don't know how we will die by then." Xie Zheng's last words were said in his heart, and he didn't tell Xie Miao, the main reason was that his nephew was too young, and if there was something in his heart, he would definitely not be able to hide it, so it was better to let him be confused.

Xie Miao glanced at his third uncle in puzzlement, but thinking of what he saw and heard that night, he simply closed his mouth, he was just a little wooden when he didn't investigate the case, not stupid.

"What then?" Xie Miao asked.

"What to do? We just need to bring the words of the county lord, as for how to decide, it has nothing to do with us. Xie Zheng said directly.

While the two were talking, they also set off again, and the two fast horses galloped on the official road, which aroused the indignant eyes of many people, but when they saw the poor clothes they were wearing, they could only scold with hatred in their hearts.

Before noon, the uncle and nephew of the Xie family climbed the mountain, and Mu Yi was boiling medicine to replenish his body at the door, and now his body was a bottomless pit, as if he couldn't fill it.

Seeing the uncle and nephew of the Xie family, Mu Yi was also a little surprised, generally this kind of person is really going to the Three Treasures Hall without anything, but since the other party has already arrived on the mountain, Mu Yi will not drive them away, just listen to their intentions.

"I haven't seen him for a while, and the temperament of the Taoist master is even more extraordinary, and he has the appearance of an immortal." Xie Zheng opened his mouth and said.

Mu Yi laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, he has nothing to do with the extraordinary now, let alone what kind of immortal, how can there be an immortal squatting at the door to decoct medicine by himself? And because on the mountain, he just wore a white coat casually, with neither a square scarf nor a crown on his head, but just tied his hair behind his back at will.

Although it can't be regarded as sloppy, it definitely doesn't match the temperament.

Even the muscles on Xie Miao's face next to him couldn't help twitching, obviously, some couldn't accept that his third uncle flattered Mu Yi like this.

"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me?" Mu Yi asked directly.

"That's right, my little nephew and I are on the orders of the county honor, and we want to invite the Dao Elder to Lin'an." Xie Zheng said directly.

"Thank you for your kindness on my behalf, Xiaodao has no plans to go down the mountain recently." Mu Yi refused directly without thinking about it, although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was in inviting him, but as long as he thought about it, it was definitely impossible to simply see him, and he must have encountered some trouble.

The last time Mu Yi helped Peng Song come, it was because Su Chongshan came forward, as for the county honor, so what?

Don't talk about now, it is estimated that even in the past, Mu Yi would not care too much, because in the past, he and Lao Dao both regarded the world as their home, and now, what can the other party do?

You must know that during this period of time, Mu Yike has not given up the Five Thunder Talismans, and now he has three spare ones on his body, so he dare not say that he despises everything, but even if the county lord wants to deal with him, he has to weigh it carefully.

What's more, the other party still has a request for him.

(Last week's list ended, the second place in the overall list, thank you, especially Su Su and Sister Yu, there is nothing to repay, with a body... Ahem, what, I was going to add more, but the end of the year is busy, and I have been guaranteed two more every day during the recent period, and after the New Year, I will pay off my debts! ))
