Chapter Eighty-Three: On the Trick of Being an Official
This million taels of silver is exactly the property carried by Mei Xun and Yun Qingyang, originally Mei Xun paid a deposit of 200,000 taels first, and Zhuo Mubai used the remaining 800,000 taels of silver tickets as bait that night to kill the two good hands who were protecting Yun Qingyang. The night was too dark that night, and there was another scuffle, but after dawn, it was picked up by Chu Xundu.
Seeing that Han Zhenyi gave orders one by one in the field and arranged many matters one after another, Xiao Qianli quietly left with Liu Suifeng, Chu Xun and Guo family sisters and brothers.
When he came to the outside of the village, Xiao Qianli turned around, looked at the Guo family sisters and brothers with a smile, and said, "Now that the big thing is over, where do you two plan to go?"
Guo Yuying and Guo Pengcheng glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, Guo Pengcheng spoke: "Last night's incident, thanks to the seniors' action, otherwise my sister and brother would have missed a big thing." Now my sister and brother still have some miscellaneous matters, and when the matter is finished, they will come to your church to thank their predecessors. Dare to ask where the seniors have always stayed? I can meet the two of us in person. ”
Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, and Liu replied with the wind: "We are all under the Pure Yang Sect of the Jade Void Peak of Kunlun Mountain, and the teacher is the Pure Yang Sect. ”
The two of them bowed respectfully and thanked each other, and then turned to leave. Running out of the hundreds, Guo Yuying smiled and said, "Brother, don't you obviously admire that Pure Yang Sect Sect very much, why don't you just open your mouth to apprentice?"
Guo Pengcheng shook his head and said: "This senior is really a master in the world, his style of action is bright and fair, and he is full of opportunities, even if I am a horse, it is difficult for me to catch up." It's just that I think there are still some things in our family that have not been dealt with, and I plan to deal with the family affairs first before going up the mountain. If my predecessors look up to me Guo Pengcheng, even if I am saddle in front of the horse and behind the horse, serving tea and pouring water, I will admit it!"
Guo Yuying sighed lightly, nodded and said, "What you said also makes some sense, in that case, let's go home first and deal with the aftermath of our mother's death!"
Guo Pengcheng said with a smile: "Sister, since my father passed away, our cultivation has not made any progress, don't you plan to follow your predecessors and cultivate superior martial arts?"
Guo Yuying smiled bitterly and said: "How can I not know that the senior of the Dao Elder is very skillful? Just looking at those apprentices, all of them are dragons among people, their cultivation is only higher than ours, and their style of action is clean and neat. If we don't do something to come out, why will we get into the eyes of others?"
Guo Pengcheng smiled and nodded: "I have already thought about this point, after we arrange the family affairs properly, and then we will go to secretly protect this Pure Yang Shan Hall for a period of time, and after those children are properly settled, there will be a reason to ......."
Guo Yuying suddenly smiled, and said happily: "Brother, now you have a good idea, let's go home without further ado!"
The two made up their minds and immediately flew away.
And Xiao Qianli and the other three still stayed in place, waiting for a long time but did not see Li Chengyuan come out, Chu Xun waited anxiously, and was about to enter the village to look for it, but saw Li Chengyuan walk out with a bitter face, with the spear and long bow behind him, but holding a child in one hand.
Several people were stunned, and Chu Xun asked, "Third Senior Brother, why did you bring out Xiaopi and Xiaohou together?"
Li Chengyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I originally planned to hand them over to the magistrate as well, but who knew that these two children seemed to identify me, and no matter how I persuaded them, they refused to stay in Qingpingzhuang, and they had to follow me, so I had no choice but to take them out." Please give me some instructions, what should I do about this?"
Xiao Qianli looked at these two dirty, but immature-faced children, and couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "In that case, you can ask these two children if they still remember some of the situation in their hometowns? ”
Li Chengyuan nodded, pulled Xiaopi and Xiaohou to squat aside, muttering and whispering.
Xiao Qianli remembered something and ordered: "You wait here, and come when you go for the teacher!"
Liu Suifeng, Chu Xun and Li Chengyuan all agreed, and watched Xiao Qianli like an immortal, tiptoeing to the ground, and his body had fallen into the village lightly.
As soon as Xiao Qianli entered the village, he stretched his body with all his strength, and rushed to a place, and soon came to a medicine field with a size of hundreds of acres, and saw that there was no one in the silence, and he was immediately relieved.
When he saw this place for the first time, Xiao Qianli had already been moved, these medicines are all extremely rare and precious medicinal materials, if you want to exchange these medicinal materials from the system, you don't know how many tens of thousands of exchange points will be spent, and these ready-made medicinal materials are all planted here, if you don't dig them up, wouldn't it be a big waste?
At this time, he only had a primary method of collecting herbs, and those medicinal materials he didn't know didn't dare to dig easily, so as not to destroy the medicinal properties, he slowly paced all the way in the medicine field, while digging out the medicinal materials he knew one by one - this herb picking technique is different from ordinary medicine farmers, as long as it is a herb that can be identified by the primary medicine collection technique, he only needs to see the direction clearly, and with a stroke of his hand, he can collect this medicinal grassland untouched, and then put it into the treasure bag in his arms.
He collected the herbs as he walked, but unconsciously collected all the herbs he knew, and when he saw that at least half of the herbs in this medicine field had not been collected, he couldn't help but sigh, and secretly wondered how to take the remaining herbs with him.
When Xiao Qianli's gaze inadvertently swept over a medicinal field that he had walked before, the names, characteristics, and medicinal effects of the medicinal herbs that he had not been able to identify before had been clearly displayed in his mind.
"What's going on? Could it be that I'm ignoring something?" Xiao Qianli hurriedly turned his head to look around, but saw that most of the herbs that could not be identified before could now be recognized, and he was suspicious in his heart, his consciousness sank into the sea of knowledge, and he hurriedly glanced at it, and then he suddenly realized that he had just worked hard to collect medicinal herbs for half a day, and now his medicinal collection skills had unconsciously upgraded to the intermediate level. Presumably because of his high concentration, he failed to pay attention to the upgrade prompt of the system.
Xiao Qianli's joy is not trivial, the medicine collection technique has been promoted to the intermediate level, and his medicine collection speed has suddenly increased greatly, just with a wave of the sleeves of his robe, a small piece of medicinal herbs has entered his treasure bag, and in the end, in the hundreds of acres of medicinal fields, there are only a few pieces of medicinal herbs left that still cannot be collected.
Looking at the few pieces of specially treated land, there were still more than 100 strange-shaped herbs growing on them, Xiao Qianli frowned, and the intermediate herb collection technique could not be recognized, presumably these herbs were also extremely valuable.
"Entering the treasure mountain and returning empty, this is a big taboo!" Xiao Qianli was ruthless, took off the long sword from his back, and used the incomparably precious pure Jun sword as a shovel to dig out the strangely shaped herbs and soil, this area of more than 100 herbs, dug him for more than half an hour, and it was even more troublesome than the thousands of herbs just now.
Finally dug up the hundreds of acres of medicinal fields, Xiao Qianli breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the Chunjun sword cleanly, and then put it back into the sheath, and just walked a few steps out, I saw a group of people surrounding Han Zhen and coming over.
Seeing Xiao Qianli, Han Zhen hurriedly rushed forward and said with a smile: "Where is the master?" The lower official has already arranged things properly, and is leading people to inspect the situation in the village, so it is better to make some arrangements as soon as possible. Tonight, the official set up a banquet in the palace, and was about to invite the master to come. ”
Xiao Qianli took out a piece of loose silver from his arms, and said with a smile: "I have the best intentions." Now although Yun Qingyang and Mei Xun have died in the hands of this seat, but Yun Qingyang has been operating for many years, I don't know how many of his belongings are still hidden in this Qingping Village, since this good hall has fallen under my Chunyang Gate, these belongings are not only used for repair, maintenance and daily expenses, but also ask Han Cheng to take it from the people and use it for the people. ”
I saw Xiao Qianli squeezing it lightly with his hand while talking, and the piece of loose silver suddenly turned into a round ball, and was pulled into a thin silver wire by him casually, and then closed his palm, spread it out, and the silver wire was pressed into a small short stick, and then this small short stick was placed in Han Zhen's hand.
Seeing Xiao Qianli show his means, Han was really stunned, looking down at the small silver stick in his palm, who didn't know that this was this Pure Yang Sect Master to warn himself: "The dignified head of the Sanshan Sect and the owner of Qingping Village are all dead in my hands, if you, the city guard, do things honestly, otherwise, how can you, a small Daxing city lord, resist my ability?"
"These martial arts characters are really terrifying, it's better not to go against his will. Han Zhen had a cold sweat oozing out of his back, and nodded again and again: "This is nature, this is nature, this official has always loved the people like a son, and real people can rest assured!"
Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Han Zhen on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Han Chengshou, now that the truth of this case has been revealed, this seat wants to congratulate you." ”
Congratulations? Han Zhen was almost about to cry, although he had tried his best to draw the revenge of those martial arts people to Xiao Qianli, but he was the first city guard, so how could he completely stay out of the matter? Not to mention that this earth-shattering case involved the lives of more than a thousand babies, although the case can barely be closed now, but if the top investigates it, I don't know if I can save this black yarn hat.
But he definitely couldn't provoke Xiao Qianli at this time, so he had to reluctantly squeeze out a smile and arch his hand: "Joy and joy......"
Xiao Qianli knew that he didn't understand at all, so he smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "Stupid! Now that the first evil has been punished, it is the time when the people's hearts can be used." If it can be operated well, it will alarm the upper echelons and mobilize the whole county to severely crack down on evil things such as child abduction and trafficking, so as to promote public order in the whole county...... At that time, I'm afraid that you, the official, will have to be greatly promoted to a few levels. As for how to operate with the help of power, you don't need me to teach you these things, right?"
Han Zhen was reminded by his words, and suddenly realized, even Xiao Qianli felt extremely close to him for calling him a "stupid", and nodded again and again: "I can't imagine that the ability to teach is not only amazing, but even the ability to be an official is several times better than my old fritter in the officialdom for more than ten years! No, the real person in charge must stay for a few more days, and Han must ask you for more advice!"
Xiao Qianli chuckled and said: "Now that this seat has important matters, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, as for the Kunlun Mountain Yuxu Peak where the Pure Yang Palace of this sect is located, it is in Heyuan County, and it is better to ask Han Cheng to take care of it in the future." ”
"That's a certainty, that's a certainty!" Han was truly grateful, nodded again and again, and had firmly remembered the words Kunlun Jade Void Pure Yang Palace in his heart, and watched Xiao Qianli leave, so he waved his hand and ordered: "You continue to inspect, this official suddenly remembered a major event, and he was anxious to go back to the mansion to take a closer look......
