The girl noticed that her brother was strange and turned to look.

After seeing the person who came, the girl swept away the old haze in her heart, and smiled, "Master!"

Hou Ping was dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhi nodded, took two steps, and came to the inner courtyard.

Chen Liujia, who was following him, suddenly found himself following the air, raised his eyes to look around, and after confirming the direction, he walked forward stupidly.

What are you doing in such a hurry, isn't it good to take a walk together?

Hou Ping saw that the woman quietly went to the inner courtyard first, and without hesitation, he hugged his fists and said, "Senior." ”

Glancing at the girl beside Hou Ping, Zhao Zhi said calmly: "Presumably you are Hou Baojun's eldest brother, right?"

Hou Ping laughed and said: "Little sister is disturbed, if the seniors find that Hou Baojun is hippie and playful when teaching, the seniors will deal with it according to the rules of the teacher, no need to be polite!"

Hou Baojun was stunned and moved, and was in a trance for a while.

They didn't say anything when they arrived, but they sold themselves when they came up.

How can anyone be such a brother?

Zhao Zhi smiled and looked at Hou Ping, "Let's call you Hou Shopkeeper." ”

Hou Pinggang wanted to speak.

Zhao Zhi said to herself: "Shopkeeper Hou, a group of people outside the door, I have stopped it, you don't have to thank me, Hou Baojun asked me when he went down the mountain, asking me to keep your Hou family, just this time, as a master, to help my apprentice sweep the snow in front of the door." ”

Hou Ping was silent.

Zhao Zhi glanced at the side room of the inner courtyard and continued: "I heard from outsiders that there is a pill tax evasion incident in Qingyun County, and its spearhead is directly aimed at the Qingyun Sect on the mountain, but this Qingyun Sect is a sect of cultivating immortals, and rarely deals with the world, how can this pill be sold smoothly and in large quantities to Qingyun County, presumably the shopkeeper Hou should have heard of it, right?"

Hou Ping was quietly moved, his fists trembled slightly, and he bowed his head and said: "Hou has been doing business in Qingyun County for more than a few years, and I know a little about every business transaction in Qingyun County. ”

Zhao Zhi was expressionless, quietly waiting for the following.

Hou Baojun looked at the two of them left and right, looking a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that his brother should thank his master, and then his master raised his hand to indicate that it was okay, and the two sides met each other, laughing and talking about harmony, why did this atmosphere become weird?

Hou Ping glanced at Hou Baojun, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "Baojun, you go to the room to take care of Xiao Lao's injury first, I have a few words to say to your master." ”

Hou Baojun turned his head blankly, saw his master nodding in agreement, turned around stupidly, and went to the room.

After the girl left, Hou Ping swallowed his throat and looked at the woman in white in front of him for the first time.

did not wear a crown or hairpin, a plain white precipitation, and there was a fairy wind in the standing posture.

is a true immortal.

In the world, there has never been a shortage of rich ladies like Hou Baojun, and there has never been a shortage of immortal monks who cultivate immortals on the mountain. But the opportunity is weak, and the cultivation of immortals is not advancing but retreating, and it is difficult to break through all day long, so it is a good fate to worship a good master, which is to be a good fate that is a blockbuster.

Hou Ping, who was bittersweet, once again apologized and hugged his fists, "It is a great fortune for the Hou family to be able to accept Hou Baojun as a teacher!"

Zhao Zhi shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Hou, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhao Zhi doesn't pay much attention to the person in front of him, although he is Hou Baojun's brother, but he has been deeply influenced by the world, and his words and deeds are secretly in line with the unique atmosphere of business.

Hou Ping pondered for a moment and said: "What the predecessors said does exist, presumably the predecessors have already learned from others that the accomplice of this matter is the Hou family, but the seniors think about it carefully, this Qingyun Sect deliberately avoids taxes and sells pills at low prices, isn't it also for the benefit of the ordinary people of Qingyun County, the price of the pills produced by the imperial court is extremely expensive, and ordinary portals can only buy one of them with a few months' income, if someone suddenly suffers from a serious illness at home, the money that has worked hard for half a lifetime will be used to buy pills to heal the sick." ”

Zhao Zhi was expressionless and ignored.

Hou Ping kept sighing, how did he not want to see the price of life-saving pills at a high level, which is good for the rich, as long as people get out of serious illness, but for poor people, having no money to buy medicine, it means waiting for death.

Zhao Zhi thought for a while and said indifferently: "These words, if I were Fu Yuan's friend, I would definitely kill you on the spot, because you violated the laws of the dynasty, and you don't know where the crime is!"

Hou Ping was panicked, and just about to explain, Zhao Zhi shook his head and said: "I know you are helping some people to speak, but you tell me that it is tantamount to a fool's dream, I am an immortal master, I only chase the immortal way, and what you said is just a trapped plea of the weak in my opinion." ”

Zhao Zhi raised her head and looked at the sky, "You know, poor people must have something to hate. ”

Hou Ping stopped the panic on his face and looked sad.

In the inner courtyard, a man came in at an inopportune time.

Zhao Zhi retracted her gaze, turned around and stood aside, looked at Chen Liujia and said, "You talk to him." ”

Chen Liujia, who had just arrived in the inner courtyard, was stunned, what are you talking about, this is all settled?

Hou Ping looked at Chen Liujia, who was close at hand, and sighed.

Since Master Hou Baojun brought Chen Liujia in, it seems that he insisted on taking away the pill account book.

Hou Ping said: "Lord Chen, what will you do after you take away the account books?"

Chen Liujia, who had come back to his senses, paused and said, "Of course, it is to block the source of the smuggling pills, and we can't let it appear in Qingyun County again and disrupt the market." ”

Hou Ping sneered: "Lord Chen is so decisive in solving the case, I don't know how many grades can be promoted in the imperial court, and how many more percent will be added?"

Chen Liujia didn't answer, he narrowed his eyes, and his gaze stayed on the eyes of the man in front of him, "What do you mean by what the shopkeeper said?"

Hou Ping laughed dryly and said, "Does Lord Chen know the price of each pill sold by the imperial court? and Lord Chen can know the price of each pill in Qingyun Sect?"

Chen Liujia instantly understood his meaning, shook his head and said: "I know what the shopkeeper said, and I also know that the price of the imperial pill is terrifyingly high, but for the court as an official, what I want to fulfill is not to relieve the common people, but to maintain the court of the Fuhua Dynasty under the order." ”

Hou Ping grinned and said with a smile: "It is said that Lord Chen is a good official, and he is really a good official of the Fuhua Dynasty!"

Chen Liujia was silent.

Hou Ping reached into the placket of his chest and took out an account book.

Hou Ping raised the account book and handed it to Chen Liujia, and said sarcastically: "Lord Chen, promotion and fortune are just around the corner." ”

Chen Liujia looked at the account book within reach in front of him, and hesitated for a while.

He also knew that the pill sold by this Qingyun Sect was not in accordance with the rules, but the impact was not so bad, on the contrary, as soon as this pill came out, it was more loved by the people, and as for the unbearable, it was only the Fuhua Dynasty behind him.

Worrying to himself, Chen Liujia, as the son of man, also hopes that this elixir can always be kept in Qingyun County, but as an official, he can't allow corruption and perversion of the law in his jurisdiction.

Chen Liujia took the account book with both hands.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhi turned around and said indifferently: "Let's go." ”

Chen Liujia nodded lightly and followed the woman.

Hou Ping watched the two leave, smiling lightly.

Chen Liujia saw the hesitant action just now, so it seems that this Lord Chen still has some conscience.

At least, not the kind of person who is responsible for the government and the people.

In fact, Hou Ping has always been confused about one thing, since Hou Baojun's master has already helped the Hou family solve the immortal master outside the door, why did he personally take Chen Liujia into the Hou Mansion to get the account book?

Not public or private?

It should be as the fairy woman said, just for the apprentice's request.

Hou Ping looked up, stunned.

If you really cultivate immortals, won't you eat the fireworks of the world?
