In Fan Datong's view, half a year ago, a small spiritual stone mine was discovered on Wutou Mountain, thirty miles west of Yongchang County. As a local governor, it stands to reason that he should report to the imperial court and let someone from above carry out the development plan.

But when he saw the wealth, he suppressed this matter, and secretly organized nearby villagers to dig ore many times in half a year, and many people died in half a year, and he was all treated as missing at that time.

Now that the veins are gradually drying up, he saw that it was no longer profitable to report to the imperial court, and Yongchang County was suspected of being a murderer, so the imperial court sent the Taoist Yamen to investigate.

And under his co-optation and cover-up, the investigators of the Dao Division hastily went through the motions, and then decided on the matter as missing and covered the coffin, and then the current situation was followed...

..

Fan Datong seemed to be a little ashamed after speaking, and after sighing, he drank a glass of wine.

Lu Qing watched him move, his expression changed several times with his eyes flickering.

To say that Fan Datong's words barely make sense, but a picture suddenly passed through his mind... It was the indifferent, xenophobic and vigilant eyes of the people of Yongchang County that he saw today.

If it's just a private mining vein, is it so dangerous for everyone?

The expressions of the people of Yongchang County told him that it seemed that there was more than just dead people here, as if there was something more directly pressing on their hearts.

Does this Fan Datong still have something to hide from himself?

Of course, in addition to this, he has a question...

..

"Oh, then, according to Brother Fan, there is no such thing as a dangerous and dangerous abnormal incident in Yongchang County?"

"That's nature!"

"But I still have a question.."

"Brother Lu, but it doesn't matter, you and I are with whom!"

“.. Haha! Well, let me ask you, why did Brother Fan reveal such a confidential secret to me when he saw that I was only one-sided?

Lu Qing said in a playful tone at this time the part of Fan Datong's remarks that made him the most suspicious.

He and this Fan Datong don't look at it now, it's very lively, in fact, no one on either side takes it seriously... If Lu Qing thought that after this Fan Datong two taels of yellow soup was in his stomach, he would open his heart to himself, then he would really be a fool.

Fan Datong.. Is it really a big rice bucket?

"Hahaha! Brother Lu was suspicious, it was indeed Fan who was a little abrupt. But everything Fan said was the truth, and he did not deceive you, Brother Lu.

As for the reason, it's very simple...

First, this matter has been known by the imperial court, I want to fold the past only to be bold and try, anyway, Brother Lu will find out the truth in a few days, why don't I confess to you first, so it won't break the harmony between us..

Second, because Brother Lu, you are a monk of Qingyun Palace, not an official of my Great Xun Dynasty... There are some things I can say to Brother Lu boldly, Brother Lu thinks what I said is right?"

Fan Datong raised his head and laughed loudly, and Lu Qing heard that Fan Datong intended to test him in his words, so he thought about it for a while and said.

“.. Brother Fan's words are a truth! Yes, although my Qingyun Palace is a citizen of Daxun, it is independent in the world. What is dirty inside you, it really has nothing to do with me, and I can't control it.

I said this, but I correctly understood what Brother Fan meant?"

"Eh, what's dirty, Brother Lu is a little impersonal when he says this, so it should be called human exchange.. But what you said is not bad, it is not coarse. ”

Fan Datong took it upside down at this time, and after his face sank slightly, he corrected some of Lu Qing's statements, but Lu Qing only snorted slightly when he heard this, and he didn't want to pay attention to it.

"Please also ask Brother Fan to advise on the third reason, Brother Fan is waiting for this third dish today. To be honest, Lu was already itching. ”

When Fan Datong heard this, he clapped his hands with a meaningful smile, and Wang Fu, the butler behind him who had been serving the banquet, took out a white jade plate at this time...

Lu Qing has never seen anything good in the palace, and at a glance, he found that this white jade plate is extremely exquisitely made, it should be an antiquity of the previous dynasty, and there is a red velvet cushion on the plate, which should be something inside.

Fan Datong's arrangement can be said to be quite successful, even Lu Qing is a little curious, what is this thing down there?

Seeing that Fan Datong said proudly at this time: "Brother Lu, please look, this is Fan's third reason!"

After he finished speaking, he lifted the red silk scarf that was shrouded in the tray!

And Lu Qing suddenly felt that his heartbeat was a little faster when he saw it...

I saw that on the red velvet cushion, there were ten small green stones of square inch size lying quietly at this time, each stone was cut exactly right, and the stacking ground was also neat, and it looked crystal clear and very lovely.

It can be seen that these are ten spirit stones... Of course, if it's just a spirit stone, Lu Qing hasn't seen it before, and he still has more than 3,000 lower-grade spirit stones left over from the last windfall.

These ten spirit stones are special in that they are more green than the lower grade spirit stones, and they feel that they can emit green light at night.

These are ten medium-grade spirit stones!!

In terms of price conversion, the conversion rate between the upper, middle and lower grades is one to thousand, and of course, it must be adjusted according to the appropriate amount of color, size, and defects.

These ten medium-grade spirit stones are in good condition and perfect in condition, which can be regarded as the best among medium-grade spirit stones.

According to this kind of quality, the next product can be exchanged for over-exchange.. That is to say, at this time, on this red velvet cushion, there are at least 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!!

Fan Datong watched Lu Qing's face change constantly, smiled slightly and took the white jade plate from Wang Fu's hand, then walked up to Lu Qing and gently handed it to him!

"Brother Lu, a small courtesy, not a respect!

We don't have anything to do in Yongchang County, just now I talked about the matter of the Lingshi vein, brother, I will take this opportunity to express to you my determination to make friends sincerely!

I hope that Brother Lu will not refuse, he must accept it!!"

The air is still at this moment!

Lu Qing was originally easy to say that he was also a prince, but this thing really didn't fall into his eyes before, or he didn't have a concept at all before.

But now the phoenix that has fallen into the grass is not as good as a chicken, and all the materials for his cultivation in Qingyun Palace have to be solved by himself, so the attraction of these ten medium-grade spirit stones to him is huge.

Fan Datong looked at Lu Qing, whose expression was a little struggling, and the corners of his mouth slightly pulled an arc.

Wang Fu on the side saw it, and a stone in his heart fell dangerously. He knew that as long as the adults showed such a smile, then things would probably be stable.

He was still a little worried that the monk of Qingyun Palace would break the casserole and ask the end, but when he was worried about this, the adult did not go out of the city to greet the envoy of Qingyun Palace. I thought that this matter could not be good, he was prepared for the worst, who knew that the adult would have to deal with this matter in a few words, and he couldn't help but be more convinced by Fan Datong's methods.

Looking at the slight struggle on the face of the immortal envoy of Qingyun Palace in front of him, Wang Fu knew that most of this matter had not run away. At the beginning, the officials sent here to investigate by the Daoist Yamen had this expression on their faces, but then there was nothing to do?

None of the people in the audience spoke at this time, and the atmosphere became a little solemn for a while.

At this moment, a hand stretched out and went straight towards the white jade plate. Seeing this, Fan Datong's smile on his face became even stronger.

But what happened next made his smile stiffen on his face... I saw that the hand did not take the spirit stones, but pulled the red silk scarf on the side and covered those spirit stones again!

Fan Datong raised his head in disbelief and looked at the owner of this hand, and saw that he showed a slightly mocking smile, and the color of the previous struggle had disappeared...

"Brother Lu, what do you mean by this? Why did you turn me away from thousands of miles away?"

Seeing Lu Qing slowly shaking his head at this time, he said, "Brother Fan misunderstood.. I'm just wondering, what's going on in Yongchang County?"

Fan Datong looked very surprised when he heard this, and said in a very puzzled tone.

"I've told you exactly what happened... Is there anything Brother Lu doesn't understand?"

Lu Qing nodded very seriously when he heard this, and then said, "That's right, I don't understand something.. For example, why are the people of Yongchang County so abnormal?"

Fan Datong's expression was a little unnatural at this time.

"I don't understand what Brother Lu means."

Lu Qing cut and didn't intend to let him go, and suddenly pressed step by step: "I don't understand.. I think you know best! Master Fan, I now ask you to cooperate with my investigation in Yongchang County in my capacity as a special envoy of Qingyun Palace! Otherwise, you know the consequences...

Although I am not from the Daxun Imperial Court, I have the right to report your situation to the Daoist Yamen, and I am afraid that I will not talk to you at that time, and those masters of the Criminal Department will be happy to try you such a fat sheep!"

Fan Datong's face became more and more ugly with Lu Qing's words and sentences, and in the end, it was simply black at the bottom of the pot!

He knew that what Lu Qing said was true, and the reason why he did everything to please him was that he was afraid of Qingyun Palace, and that the bigger factor was from the Daoist Yamen... This half-mannered, bedboard top door - a bullshit yamen that is too wide!

On the one hand, Dao Si holds the rights granted by the Daxun court, and on the other hand, he relies on courting the various sects of Daxun, especially Qingyun Palace, to ensure his status, and it has been a place of personal annoyance since the day it was established.

After Fan Datong greeted the Daoist Yamen from top to bottom in his heart, he once again showed a flattering smile and said to Lu Qing with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't you see that we talked about it well before, why do you say that you will turn your face? In this way, this matter is considered a brother, I didn't do it right, I'll punish myself first, and we will pretend that this incident didn't happen, okay?"

After speaking, he didn't care what Lu Qing's reaction was, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

After he finished drinking, he glanced at Wang Fu on the side with his eyes, and Wang Fu saw that he quietly took the white jade plate down, and never came up again.

Then Fan Datong forcibly pulled Lu Qing into the table, and when Lu Qing was about to shirk, he heard a woman's scream from the backyard of the county government.

"Ahh

When Lu Qing heard this, his heart immediately tightened!

This is Lin Shiyan's voice!!
