Chapter 45: The Variables of This Troubled World

Liu Si followed the official to the county office with trepidation.

He didn't know why the county magistrate sent someone to call him over, but the two had never been masked and had never known each other.

Moreover, for a big man like the county magistrate, a small person like himself who doesn't even have a serious name is insignificant, and it can be said that he is the lowest dust, and he is not even qualified to appear in front of the county order.

This kind of incomprehensible thing made Liu Si's heart can't help but have all kinds of speculations, "Could it be that I was quietly engaged in a tandem on the canal, intending to kill the overseer and escape at night, and was discovered?" ”

Life on the canal is not something that people can live at all, and in the days after Lu Heng left, the deductions of those officials and supervisors on hard labor became heavier and heavier day by day, and more and more people starved to death every day.

Finally, Liu Si couldn't stand it anymore, so he began to quietly engage in a series in secret, planning to unite the laborers on the canal, kill the overseer, and then go into the mountains to become bandits.

There's no way around it.

It is dangerous to go into the mountains and become a bandit, but there is hope for survival.

If you continue to work as a coolie on the canal, you will probably end up dead.

The officials on those canals have killed too many people.

And they first killed the big brother who took care of themselves, and then took away the little brother who taught them to read, and they were full of evil.

Damn it, damn it!!

But before Liu Si could act, the county's order arrived on the canal.

The construction of the canal was suspended, and the conscription was canceled, so everyone could go to Heyang County to receive a bag of grain and then return to their hometown.

This series of uprisings was buried in the hearts of all participants, and no one planned to confide half a word.

After all, once this matter is exposed, most of them will be determined to be intended to rebel.

Exile at the least, beheading!

Therefore, although the official who came to invite Liu Si had a very good attitude, so good that it didn't look like the official messenger in his cognition, as the mastermind of that incident, he was still a little worried.

"If you take me to the Ascension Hall, I'll have to find a way to escape." Liu Si secretly thought about it in his heart, but he soon found that the place he was taken to seemed to be the backyard of the county government.

It is said that the backyard of the prefectural government is usually a place where guests are invited to banquets by the prefectural government.

I am actually qualified to be invited to the backyard of the county government?

Isn't it the wrong person?

Liu Si fell into deep doubts.

It's really the current treatment, and it can't fall on him anyway.

When he came to the backyard of the county office, a scene that made Liu Si even more puzzled appeared.

First, the official saluted him respectfully and said goodbye.

Then I saw a middle-aged man in a dark cyan official robe who took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face, and said, "In Han Tong, Zhixian County, Xiaheyang, I have seen Mr. Liu Si, please come with me,"

Zhixian?

Liu Si knew that this was also an official position of the county magistrate, and he was the biggest official in the county anyway.

This directly froze him in place.

The county lord is saluting this little man himself?

It's so bizarre.

However, Liu Si's mind is much firmer than ordinary people after all.

Under such circumstances, he still kept himself calm and asked, "Xianzun, I don't know why you want to invite me over?" ”

"Actually, it's not that I'm going to ask you to come over, sir." Han Tong shook his head lightly and said, "I am also entrusted by others. ”

"Entrusted?" Liu Si was shocked in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked, "Dare to ask the county honor, who invited me over?" ”

If he didn't ask this, he felt that he would have trouble sleeping in the future.

What kind of person can let the county magistrate personally invite an ordinary person like himself to come over?

Or is it the same courtesy?

"I can't say anything about that." Han Tong smiled, "That big man doesn't want to reveal his identity yet. However, sir, you can rest assured that the big man just wants to thank you for your kindness, and there is no malice. ”

As he spoke, he took out ten silver tickets and a jade pendant from his hand and handed them to Liu Si.

"This is a silver ticket of 1,000 yuan, Mr. will use it temporarily, and when it is used up, he can come to the county office at any time to withdraw it. This jade pendant is a token of that person, no matter what difficulties Mr. encounters in the future, he only needs to hold this jade pendant to the county office, and he will naturally get help. ”

Han Tong explained to Liu Si with a smile.

"Shhh...... It's a great payout. Liu Si gasped, but he didn't reach out to take it, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I haven't seen so much money in my decades of life, it's enough for me to spend a long, long time, but I won't accept it."

"You said that this is the big man in order to thank me for my kindness, I have the kindness in my heart, please take the money and jade pendant back, and also tell the big man that I Liu Si has always done things with all my heart, and I have never tried to repay others."

After speaking, he suddenly smiled and asked, "County Zun, if I do this, you won't arrest me, right?" ”

"How dare you." Han Tong shook his head again and again, put away the silver ticket and jade pendant at the same time, and said with a smile, "Mr. is quite chivalrous, which is really rare in this world, I admire it very much, I don't know where my hometown is, and I will go over to visit in the future." ”

"......" Liu Si was slightly silent when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he still told Han Tong about his hometown.

He knew that Han Tong was actually helping the big man ask, he had just rejected once, and it was not good to refuse again, not to mention that it was just the address of his hometown, which did not touch the bottom line he set for himself.

"Haha, I made a note of it." Han Tong laughed loudly.

"Can I go now?" Liu Si asked.

"Of course, Sir can leave at any time." Han Tong nodded and said, "I'll show Mr. the way." ”

……

Lu Heng looked at the back of Han Tong and Liu Si leaving, and was quite admirable.

The heart of this benefactor is extraordinary.

Originally, he wanted Liu Si to live a stable and prosperous life, so as to repay the kindness of a meal when he first crossed.

But now I have something else in mind.

"If Brother Liu is given a bigger stage, will he be able to bring some unexpected variables to this troubled world?"

However, then he shook his head and suppressed the thoughts that had popped up.

"The top priority is to break through to the fourth layer of qi refining first, improve your strength, and solve the crisis that the Zhaoyang army is about to attack the city." Lu Heng took in his thoughts and said secretly, "It's not too late to think about Brother Liu's arrangements in the future." ”

I just saw Liu Si, and it can be regarded as a temporary matter.

This made Lu Heng feel that his thoughts were much more accessible and his state was better.

It is the most suitable time for a breakthrough in cultivation.

So, he went directly back to the abandoned courtyard, sat cross-legged, and the outline of the Hundred Ghost Gatehouse behind him emerged.

Prepare to transfer to "The Secret of Immortality".

Break through the fourth layer of Qi refining!
