Just when Xu Changqing and Miluo County Ling felt helpless, suddenly there was an exclamation from all around, and many people followed the sound and raised their heads to look at the sky in the distance.

I saw a red light flying from the sky in the distance, although the speed was not galloping, but it was several times faster than the fastest galloping horse, and the light flew across the sky and quickly came to the top of the Xu family ancestral hall.

This red light was particularly dazzling, emitting a blood-colored light, so bright that people could not see the figure in the light clearly, this light did not fall directly into the Xu family ancestral hall, but stopped in the air above the main gate of the Xu family ancestral hall.

The crowd in the square in front of the door immediately quieted down, staring blankly at the strange scene in front of them, and the whole square became silent, I don't know who shouted: "It's a fairy!"

Then the noise outside the ancestral hall resumed, but after a few breaths, some people began to kneel on the ground, their foreheads on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, and then more people knelt down, and finally everyone knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to the person in the air to pray for blessings.

If you look at it from the air, you can see that the squares and streets around the ancestral hall of the Xu family are full of people kneeling in the dark, most of them are terrified, out of fear of the power of gods and ghosts, ordinary people are full of awe of this miracle, and they can't afford to resist at all.

Even in the ancestral hall, there are many people who kneel, but most of the people here are well-informed and not so easy to fool, and many people just watch coldly from the sidelines.

When Xu Changqing and Miluo County Ling saw the blood-colored light, they always felt that the color was too red and too weird, and there was a faint smell of blood on the tip of their noses, and they secretly said that this mountain Tongzi was probably not a serious person who cultivated the truth.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both suppressed this thought in their hearts, and before they thought of how to curb the Shan Tongzi Immortal Method, it was better not to provoke him easily.

The person in the red light is Shan Tongzi, he usually rarely goes out of the house, today the big housekeeper of the Xu Mansion came to the door, begging him to go to the Xu family ancestral hall to sit in the town, and promised heavy profits, he reluctantly came out.

Along the way, Shan Tongzi saw countless people crowded in the market, and knew that today's incident was secretly planned by someone, and when it came to the Xu family ancestral hall, the crowd was even denser, and there were fights and stampedes.

Shan Tongzi is not a person with lofty ideals, but he is still trustworthy, and after receiving the money from the Xu family, he has to help the Xu family solve the trouble.

Shan Tongzi stood in mid-air and said in a deep voice: "You mortals, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, you don't sincerely pray for blessings, but you are here to make noise and disturb the people, are you not afraid of heavenly punishment?

There were crowded people around the ancestral hall of the Xu family, the servants of the Xu family's courtyard, and the township warriors led by the county lieutenant, everyone was stunned at first, and immediately understood that the immortal who had just arrived was dissatisfied with their behavior today, and everyone immediately began to kowtow again, and after some timid people kowtowed, they got up and dispersed in different directions.

Some people demonstrated, and more people began to follow suit, and more and more people left around the Xu family ancestral hall, and in the end, only the official officials, Xiang Yong, and the Xu family's courtyard servants remained in the field.

The square was in a mess, all kinds of garbage were piled up here, and the broken rice dumplings, squeezed shoes, socks, bandanas, and confetti were thrown all over the ground.

Hundreds of people spent half an hour without dispersing the crowd, because the words of the old fairy in the red light were all dispersed, it seems that in the underdeveloped county towns and countryside, the power of gods and ghosts in the hearts of the people is much greater than the government.

Miluo County Ling's face was a little weird, he didn't think that Shantongzi had any impact on his power by dispersing the crowd, but he knew that Xu Changqing had never liked to deal with Shantongzi, and today he actually invited Shantongzi, it seems that it was to prevent himself from making trouble again, and Xu Changqing also fought hard.

Miluo County Commander deepened his impression of Shantongzi this time, this Taoist priest dared to openly interfere in secular affairs, although it seemed that he had done a good deed, but this was a clear violation of the prohibition of Jingyun Temple, Miluo County Commander pondered whether to report this matter to Yuezhou Mansion.

Xu Changqing was also surprised by Shan Tongzi's behavior just now, but Shan Tongzi came to help him, and he didn't know what to say, so he immediately shouted into the air with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect Shan Tongzi Immortal Master to come, it really made the little brother's birthday banquet more brilliant, and the little brother is grateful!"

The Immortal Master of Shantongzi is really compassionate, and he has just come here to resolve the risk of stampede here, which is really immeasurable! ”

Xu Changqing's words are exquisite, that is, the arrival of Shan Tongzi is to give him a cheer to help him, so that the leaders of Miluo County can see their backers, and use the official identity of Miluo County to suppress the momentum of Shan Tongzi to prevent him from dominating.

Shan Tongzi and Miluo County Ling are also human spirits, how could they not hear Xu Changqing's intentions, Shan Tongzi laughed and lowered the light, fell steadily to the ground, and put a shuttle-type magic weapon into his sleeve in a very fast time, this action is very secretive, and most people have not seen it.

Xu Changqing and Miluo County Ling saw this action, and the two immediately judged that Shan Tongzi's strength was not enough to fly directly, and it seemed that he was only a low-level monk, and the pressure on his heart was immediately reduced a little.

After the thin Taoist priest dressed as Shantongzi landed, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Miluo County Commander with a fist, and a faint bloody breath came to his nose.

Although Miluo County Ling didn't want to have too much contact with Shantongzi, seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, he also hugged his fists with a smile on his face and said: "Dao Chang is merciful." ”

After a few words of greetings between the two sides, Xu Changqing announced the beginning of today's feast, invited the guests to take their seats, and a large number of servants came up to guide more than 1,500 guests into each table to take their seats.

In addition to the seats in the main hall are arranged in advance, the seats in the square outside are all seated at will, everyone is a figure with a head and a face, there is no dispute over the seats, everyone quickly sat down.

All kinds of cold dishes began to be served one after another, and the wine was also delivered, today's banquet Xu family has been preparing for a long time, the ingredients are carefully prepared, the freshest and most expensive ingredients, and the chef is also a group of chefs specially invited from Yuezhou Mansion.

Five rooms have been temporarily set up in the backyard of the Xu family ancestral hall, which have begun to run at full capacity at this time, and the cold dishes are prepared in advance, which can be directly served to the guests to cushion their stomachs, and the hot dishes in the back are the main event.

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the ancestral hall of the Xu family, and the Xu family also invited the band, opera troupe and circus team for the patriarch's birthday banquet today, so as to leave a lifelong unforgettable memory for the leaders of Miluo County.

Xu Changqing is definitely a character, he has just been extorted 500,000 taels of silver, and he has been unwell, but as today's birthday star, he adjusted his mentality and body in a short time and entered the state.

He raised his glass and came to the steps of the main hall of the ancestral hall first, and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the guests who came to his birthday banquet today, and hoped that everyone could have a good meal today.

After saying some words, Xu Changqing turned his head and entered the main hall, and first toasted from the main table.

Today, at the main table sat Xu Changqing, Miluo County Commander, County Cheng, County Lieutenant, Shan Tongzi, Huang Xuan and six Miluo top seven family patriarchs, Xu Changqing simply touched a glass with each person at the main table, and then began to toast table by table in the hall.

Of course, except for the main table, when Xu Changqing toasted at other tables, he just touched his lips with his wine glass, and he didn't really drink, and there were no unsightly guests who forced him to drink at the banquet of Xu Changqing's 60th birthday.

The birthday banquet in the ancestral hall of the Xu family has entered a stable stage, but the masters sent by the Xu Mansion to intercept and kill Xu Jiuye are not so lucky.

After Li Mao and Xu Jiuye watched Xu Heyuan and the second housekeeper flee in the desert, they did not chase after them, nor did they go out from the main gate of Xu's mansion, where more and more people had begun to gather to receive zongzi, clothes, and cloth, and going out from there would only delay more time.

The people who distributed free things in the three places today were all locals of Miluo County hired by Yang Da for money, and each of them was paid for three days, and the ordinary people did not know that the government did not allow private soup kitchens and clothes, and they did not have any worries, so they naturally came to receive things happily.

Yang Da's two sons and their partners secretly took back and burned the notices posted all over the city for free, and these evidences could not fall into the hands of the government, otherwise they would likely be wanted by the government.

Li Mao had already touched the mansions of Xu's Mansion, Huangfu and Shantongzi the night before, and took Xu Jiuye, Xiaozhuzi, and Xiaozhu through the entire Xu's Mansion and came to the back door of Xu's Mansion.

Today, most of the servants in the Xu Mansion have been transferred to the Xu Family Ancestral Hall to help, and there is no one in the mansion, even if there are servants who stay behind to see Xu Jiuye and his party, but seeing that they are so familiar with the mansion, they did not dare to step forward to stop them, so that they and their party passed through the mansion smoothly.

Li Mao and his party went out of the back door of the Xu Mansion, Yang Da and his son had been waiting at the back door for a long time, and they had been waiting anxiously, and they were relieved to see Li Mao and them come out safely.

Li Mao knew that Yang Da was waiting for him to save his wife Yang Hong, and signaled them to be calm, he turned back to Xu Jiuye and said: "Ninth Master, we are making such a fuss today, which is enough for the Xu family to drink a pot, and you have suffered most of the anger over the years, and the rest is to find a way to let Huang Xuan give the head and rescue Yang Hong's affairs."

It's more dangerous for you to follow us without martial arts, you and Xiao Zhuzi go back to the boat to hide first, and when we finish the two things, we will go to meet you, and then we will leave Miluo County. ”

Xu Jiuye knew that he couldn't help much with the next things, so he took Li Mao's hand and said: "Virtuous nephew, in fact, today's trouble, Uncle Wei's resentment has all dissipated, Huang Xuan's affairs can be done, you can't retreat for you, you must not force yourself."

After all, there are still people we need to take care of, and we can't put the lives of the living into it for the sake of the dead, you must listen to Uncle Nine, okay?"

Li Mao patted Xu Jiuye's arm and said, "Don't worry, I still have to go to Jinling Mansion, and I won't die here easily." Little bolts, little pillars, the two of you hurry up and protect Uncle Nine to go to the boat to meet Aunt Nine and them, you must protect their safety!"

Small bolts and small pillars hold their heads high to indicate that they have definitely completed the task.

After Li Mao saw Xu Jiuye and the three of them disappear into the crowd, he turned back to Yang Da and his son and said, "Let's go, let's go save your lady and mother!"
