Chapter 100: The Fishing Village
With the Night Qilin's eyes illuminating the pitch-black cave, Jiang Wujian's speed was also mentioned as the fastest, and the whole person's state of mind was also excited.
A dazzling light in front of him pierced people who couldn't open their eyes, Jiang Wujian covered his eyes, and saw the faintly visible scene outside the cave entrance, and the speed under his feet sped up a little.
Jiang Wujian's mood changed a little after he met the Night Qilin, and this change was not a good thing for Jiang Wujian.
The death of the night qilin caused Jiang Wujian's state of mind to have a wrong qualitative change, which was a very dangerous thing, and it was easy to lead Jiang Wujian to a state where he lost himself and fell into his inner demons in terms of cultivation.
"Whew! It's finally out. ”
Standing in front of the entrance of the cave, there is a cliff dozens of meters high at your feet, and below is a large river that flows calmly.
Jiang Wujian jumped into the river, dozens of meters did not need to be like this, but Jiang Wujian wanted to really feel his relaxed mood.
The water splashing high above the calm river swayed in circles after falling, and Jiang Wujian, who poked his head out, wiped the water droplets on his face, raised his head and screamed loudly.
Collecting his mood, Jiang Wujian swam to the shore, ignoring the wet clothes on his body, and lay on the shore again, looking at the sky, stunned.
"Little brother, are you alright?"
When he was in a daze, a crisp children's voice sounded in Jiang Wujian's ears, and the simplicity of the voice suddenly hit Jiang Wujian's heart, making Jiang Wujian's heart startled, and when he was sluggish, it seemed that a ball of evil thoughts invaded his mind.
"You.. Be.. Who?"
Jiang Wujian saw a little girl about four or five years old, squatting in front of him, looking at him with a pair of innocent eyes, and her clear and bright eyes were like a pearl.
"Come, pity. ”
Suddenly, a woman called from a distance, and the little girl turned her head and smiled happily when she heard someone calling.
"Mother, come and see the little brother, he seems to be injured. ”
There was anxiety in the childish voice of the poor girl, and she was unguarded against a stranger, and the only thing that was unique was concern.
"This son, are you alright?"
Maybe she was afraid that Pian Ya would be hurt, or maybe she didn't look like a bad person, Pian Ya's mother came to Jiang Wujian's side, and she was concerned and defensive in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. ”
Jiang Wujian smiled kindly at Piya, and said to Piya's mother when he sat up.
"Childe, the front is our village, if Childe doesn't dislike it, let's go to the village to recuperate. ”
Lianya's mother invited Jiang Wujian, seeing Jiang Wujian's friendliness to Lianya, and also knowing that Jiang Wujian was not a bad person.
"Then thank you sister-in-law, I'll borrow your village to recuperate for one night. ”
Jiang Wujian was not polite, he really needed to recuperate, there were too many things he had experienced during this period of time, and he needed to calm his mind.
"The people in our village are all fishermen, there are more than 100 people in the village, the village is not big, in previous years it was peaceful, and the people in the village lived a comfortable life, but in recent years, the government and taxes have increased, coupled with the rampant bandits, the life in the village is not as good as day by day. ”
In the village, some people complained before Jiang Wujian met, of course, this was not because Jiang Wujian wanted to eat and drink them.
It's that they can't take out good things to entertain Jiang Wujian, and they are very unhappy.
"Lin Bo, you don't say a word, let Jiang Gongzi eat with peace of mind. ”
The person who spoke was the village chief of this village, called Lin Yuan, and the people in this village were all surnamed Lin, and this Lin Bo was also the eldest person in the village.
"Lin Yuan is the most capable person in our village, thanks to him all these years, the people in the village can not only fish, but also grow some crops, otherwise they would not be able to live at all by fishing. ”
Lin Bo seemed to like Jiang Wujian very much, and kept talking about it next to Jiang Wujian.
"What's the matter with the bandits?"
Jiang Wujian received the favor from the village and wanted to do something for the village, and all he could do was to solve the bandits in the village.
"Those robbers are also kind-hearted, they only rob things and don't hurt people, and they are also bandits because people from nearby villages can't survive anymore. ”
Lin Yuan didn't seem to have any hatred for those robbers, and Jiang Wujian admired Lin Yuan's state of mind.
"Where's the bandits?"
Jiang Wujian asked this, which made Lin Yuan look at Jiang Wujian in surprise, not knowing why Jiang Wujian asked about the traces of the gang of robbers.
"Childe, you.. Are you from the government? ”
Lin Yuan's address to Jiang Wujian had changed, and there was some fear in his eyes.
"Uncle Lin, I'm not from the government, I asked about the robbers' tracks, I wanted them not to come to the village to rob again, don't worry, I won't hurt them. ”
Jiang Wujian didn't expect this village to be so sensitive to the people of the government, it seems that the people of the government are the people who are most afraid of in this village.
"They didn't hurt anyone, they grabbed some food, and they didn't get in the way. ”
Lin Yuan was very scared, he was afraid that after Jiang Wujian angered those robbers, he would hurt the people in his heart when he came back.
"Since Uncle Lin said this, then I won't go. ”
Jiang Wujian knew that Lin Yuan was worried that the robbers would retaliate after he left, as long as he didn't hurt anyone, Jiang Wujian would forget it.
As for the people in the government, Jiang Wujian has a way to take care of it and let the people in the government suppress those robbers.
After three days of recuperation, Jiang Wujian left the fishing village, and the poor girl has been pestering Jiang Wujian for the past three days, and the little girl likes Jiang Wujian very much.
"Poor girl, why haven't you seen it these days.."
Jiang Wujian wanted to ask where Piya's father went, but before he could ask, Liya's mother appeared, so Jiang Wujian had no choice but to stop asking.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take Mercy around for a walk, I'm going to leave today, this girl has a relationship with me, I also like this little girl, if Sister-in-law doesn't want to stay in this fishing village in the future, you can go to the Jiang Mansion in Sword Casting City to find Qingyu'er, she can let Sister-in-law and Mercy live in Jiang Mansion. ”
In the past few days, Jiang Wujian found that Piya's mother was particularly nervous, this tension was not quite like the relationship between ordinary mother and daughter, Jiang Wujian guessed that the mother and daughter might have their own secrets.
Later, Jiang Wujian asked Na Lin Bo to find out, it turned out that the mother and daughter were not from the fishing village, they came to the fishing village three years ago, and the people in the fishing village saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful, so they took them in.
"Limber, I'm leaving today, and I'll come back to see you when I have the chance. ”
Jiang Wujian likes this kind of life in the fishing village very much, Jiang Wujian has not thought about things outside these days, and has taken pity to play in the village and live in harmony with the people in the fishing village.
"Hell, when you come again, I will bury the old man in the mound a long time ago, but if you really come, go to the mound to see me, the old man will be very happy. ”
Lin Bo's indifference made Jiang Wujian admire him very much, how could anyone not want to live longer.
"Limber, with your mentality, it will be no problem in another hundred years. ”
Jiang Wujian chatted with Lin Bo for a while, and finally gave Lianya's mother a jade crystal before leaving.
"Childe, this is absolutely unacceptable, this is not a small amount of money. ”
Mercy's mother didn't dare to ask for it, Jiang Wujian let her subordinates do not say anything, Jiang Wujian's care for this woman is mainly because of Mercy, and the other is that this woman is not greedy for money.
After leaving the fishing village, Jiang Wujian didn't go to find those robbers, he wanted to go to the official mansion, and learned from Lin Yuan's mouth that the place where this fishing village belonged was a county government called Yunhua County.
The distance for ordinary people to walk from the fishing village to Yunhua County Mansion is about a day, and Jiang Wujian is not an ordinary person, and it took an hour to come from the fishing village.
In the Yunhua County Mansion, Jiang Wujian was sitting with a middle-aged man, who was the biggest official in the Yunhua County Government.
"Jiang Gongzi, come.. Drink tea, this is the best tea in my Yunhua County, I won't tell you, this tea is a tribute to the Nine Emperor Palace, I picked up a little tea dregs, but even if it is tea dregs, it is also a rare good tea on the market. ”
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes with a very enjoyable expression.
"Haha, so I want to taste it, then thank you to Long County. ”
This middle-aged man is the county magistrate of Yunhua County Government, and Jiang Wujian came here precisely for Lin Yuan's fishing village.
"Does the fishing village Jiang Gongzi said have anything to do with Gongzi?"
Long Xianzhi was so polite to Jiang Wujian, it was because Jiang Wujian gave him a big gift when he came to see him, and this big gift was ten jade crystals, if these ten jade crystals were nothing in front of these big city lords in Sword Casting City, but it was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for a small county rule.
"The people of that fishing village have saved my life, and I don't need much help from Long Xianzhi, as long as Long Xianzhi asks your people not to go to that fishing village to collect official taxes and not let the robbers there harass, this is the meaning of a sentence for Long Xianzhi. ”
As soon as Jiang Wujian finished speaking, Long Xianzhi looked embarrassed and took a sip of tea without saying a word.
"This... As for the robbers, I can solve the problem, but as for the official tax, it will be difficult to deal with, after all, this is to be explained to the above. ”
Long Xianzhi put down the tea bowl and looked at Jiang Wujian in embarrassment, and only promised Jiang Wujian to solve the robbers.
"Can these exempt them from official taxes?"
Jiang Wujian took out ten jade crystals again, pushed them in front of Long Xianzhi, and looked at Long Xianzhi with a smile.
"Haha, Jiang Gongzi is really for the country and the people, as a county magistrate, how can I not accept Jiang Gongzi's intentions. ”
Long Xianzhi saw that Yujing's eyes lit up, and the speed of collecting Yujing was really fast, and when he looked at Jiang Wujian again, the affection on his face was a little more.
"As long as Long Xianzhi can understand my intentions, then my trip will not be in vain, but my heart has arrived, and I hope that Long Xianzhi will also follow my wishes. ”
After Jiang Wujian finished speaking, the momentum on his body changed, and an invisible pressure permeated the air, Long Xianzhi's face suddenly changed greatly, and there was more fear in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Wujian again.
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I will do what Mr. explains, and I will never deceive Mr. ”
I thought that Jiang Wujian was just a rich kid from a big city, and Long Xianzhi didn't take it too seriously, and was so pressed by Jiang Wujian's momentum, Long Xianzhi knew that Jiang Wujian was a cultivator.
Therefore, in the title of Jiang Wujian, he changed from Gongzi to Mr., which is a great honorific title for Jiang Wujian.
"What Long Xianzhi said, I naturally believe it, as long as Long Xianzhi does what he says, I will not treat you badly. ”
After Jiang Wujian finished speaking, Long Xianzhi was sitting in the chair and suddenly there was a sound, and a crack cracked in the chair under Long Xianzhi's buttocks.
"Don't worry, sir, I will do what I say. ”
Long Xianzhi wiped the sweat on his forehead, knowing that his chair was cracked, and he didn't dare to get up.
"I believe that Long Xianzhi is a person who keeps his promises, if Long Xianzhi wants to go to Sword Casting City to develop in the future, Jiang can be used as a recommender and let the city lord Luo Hu give Long Xianzhi a beautiful difference. ”
Jiang Wujian knew that Long Xianzhi was a smart man, and here he was the Emperor of the Soil, if he went to Sword Casting City, no matter how beautiful his errand was, he would not be able to enjoy himself here.
Jiang Wujian told Luo Hu to Long County, and it was very easy to investigate him and then ban his official title of county magistrate.
Long Xianzhi knew what Jiang Wujian meant, and he was even more curious about Jiang Wujian's identity, of course, Long Xianzhi didn't dare to ask.
