Volume 1 Where to Wake Up Tonight Chapter 48 Upheaval
The truth about the disappearance case in Yongchang County has basically surfaced... The clues Lu Qing has obtained in the past few days have roughly outlined the outline of the truth, and he believes that he is not far from the truth.
Now he is not in a hurry, because he can judge with certainty, these two white-clothed people must have something to do with Zhixian Fan Datong!
But it is precisely because of this that it is not good for him to start directly... After all, Fan Datong is the magistrate of Yongchang County, although he is a monk of Qingyun Palace, it can be said that there are no taboos in Daxun, but the appointment, dismissal and even killing and retention of the magistrate of a place and the issues involved behind him are not within the scope of his cultivation.
So in other words.. His mission here is almost complete!
Next, he only needs to go back to the mountain gate to meet Gong Zhenren and Song Hezi to explain everything that happened here, and they will naturally consider it... As for whether to take down Fan Datong and thoroughly investigate the issue of Yongchang County, or to take into account his own position, and say two sentences to deal with the inquiries of the Daoist Yamen, it is not up to him to decide.
Alas.. In the end, Lu Qing still chose to die and not save him.
Perhaps it was also out of this guilt that he temporarily agreed to treat the villagers with Lin Shiyan.
The reason why he didn't agree before was because the investigation time was tight, and he needed to figure out the truth in this darkness as soon as possible, so as to turn passive into active... But now that he has learned the secret here, he has confidence in his heart, and he does not hesitate to spare some time to show kindness... Of course, Lin Shiyan doesn't know about his abacus...
...
In the next three days, Lu Qing and Lin Shiyan jointly conducted a diagnosis of the villagers of Wujia Village from beginning to end.
Most of them are old and weak women and children, and the reason why they get sick is nothing more than because their body's resistance is too weak, and there is no serious illness, that is, typhoid fever and rheumatism.
In the process of diagnosis, Lu Qing found a very strange phenomenon... At first, the villagers didn't know that they were seeing a doctor for free, but when they knocked on the door to explain their intentions, they excused themselves and said that they were not sick and closed the door, making the two of them look like they were here to blackmail. Among these people, in fact, many people are coughing, and a small number are already having a low-grade fever...
In the end, it was Village Chief He who explained to the villagers that these two immortals were helping everyone to see a doctor for free, and the villagers gradually let down their vigilance and came to see a doctor.
Later, he talked to the village chief He about this, and the old village chief said with emotion, the people in the mountains are like this, in the past, there were children to take care of life, and life was still passable, but now the young laborers of the three villages of Wutou Mountain are missing, and the family has no income, these villagers will not go to the doctor even if they are sick.
The village chief didn't go on with the rest of the words, and there was no need to go on.
No one knows what Lu Qing thought at the time, only that he tried his best to be serious and responsible in the subsequent diagnosis and treatment, and this made Lin Shiyan on the side quite impressed.
..
Three days passed quickly, and the villagers' attitudes towards Lu and Lin changed dramatically, from disbelief and indifference to respect and gratitude now.
In the guest compartment of Village Chief He's house, Lu Qing was packing his package... He has done everything here, and he plans to leave for the sect tomorrow!
As for Lin Shiyan, he plans to tell her before leaving tomorrow, and he won't dare to be disobedient if she forgives her.
"Leaving?"
A figure leaned against the door frame, and said with a little emotion in his tone.
Lu Qing didn't have to look up to know that it was Zhong Wanquan...
"Hmm. ”
"But is it done?"
Zhong Wanquan continued to say in a tone of pretended emotion, and Lu Qing's answer was still short and capable...
"Hmm. ”
The tone of the square-faced headcatcher finally changed, and he asked a little playfully at this time.
"Oh? not necessarily. At least there's one thing you haven't done yet. ”
"Huh?"
Lu Qing still used his "One Character Sutra" instead of language, which seemed a little rude, but from another aspect, he may be deliberately hiding his emotions.
"Rushed into the county office, arrested Fan Datong, and pulled out the man in white!"
Who knew that Zhong Wanquan said such a sentence, his expression was full of seriousness, and his eyes were full of persistence!
“.. These are three things. Lu Qing heard Zhong Wanquan say this, and after looking at him with some surprise, he said a witty thing to divert the other party's attention. How do you know that Zhong Wanquan was indifferent to this, and glanced at him with some mockery.
Seeing that he was soft and hard and didn't eat, Lu Qing felt a little headache, he really couldn't see through this Zhong Wanquan... Why is he so hostile to Fan Datong, at this time, he directly lifted the hole cards, and if Fan Datong falls, what good can he do?
To say that he is playing Infernal Affairs, it doesn't feel like it... Lu Qing saw Zhong Wanquan's eyes, and in the end he could only say it very officially.
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to investigate any further, I have enough clues to complete my mission. ”
"So you're going to just run away, leave these people here to fend for themselves?!, or force the people in white to kill people?!!
Zhong Wanquan heard him say this, the question in his eyes was about to turn into a sharp sword, and in the end, as if he remembered something, the light suddenly dimmed again.
This abrupt and strange change made Lu Qing a little at a loss, he didn't know what kind of wind Zhong Wanquan was pumping, and he was still awe-inspiring and righteous a moment ago, why was he discouraged?
But no matter what his purpose is, Lu Qing's answer is still one...
“.. I'll report it to the sect, and they'll take care of it. ”
"Oh, really?"
Zhong Wanquan seemed to have lost interest in talking to Lu Qing, and after saying the last sentence in a low voice, he turned around and left.
Lu Qing looked at his back as he gradually moved away, a little suspicious.
He didn't believe much in Zhong Wanquan in the first place, and he trusted him because of Lin Shiyan's suggestion at the beginning, but why is his behavior so suspicious now?
While he was pondering, snow suddenly fell in the sky... At this time, Lin Shiyan came running with a happy face and told him that today the whole village was going to hold a dinner for them on the stage in the village, first, to thank them for their help to the villagers, and secondly, this Wujia Village has not been so lively for a long time, and the people of the village gathered together to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and be happy and happy, washing away the bad luck of the year..
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner... That's right, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lu Qing still remembers what day it is...
...
When Lu and Lin arrived at the venue, the whole village was almost all there, and they saw that a table of flowing water had been set up on the small stage at this time, and although the dishes were not too good, they were still very rich.
Seeing them coming, Village Chief He hurriedly organized an atmosphere to warmly welcome the arrival of the two, and the villagers expressed their gratitude to them from the bottom of their hearts, and the atmosphere was very warm.
The two were then invited to the upper seat, He Village Chief and Zhong Wanquan sat on the left head, Lu Lin and the two sat on the right head, as He Village Chief announced the opening of the seat, only the sound of cups, dishes and chopsticks and the sound of gobbling up food were left in the field. These villagers have not had a decent meal for too long.
"Two immortal envoys, I salute you for a glass and thank you for everything you have done to Wujia Village!"
Village Chief He got up at this time and toasted a glass of wine to the two, and the two of Lu Lin hurriedly said that they didn't dare to do it, and then drank a glass as well.
And when Village Chief He asked him what his plans were for the next thing in Wujia Village, Lu Qing confused a few words... What can he plan, he doesn't have any plans now except to leave before dawn tomorrow.
At this banquet, he may be the only one who still looks worried... It's not accurate to say this, of course, there is another person, that is Zhong Wanquan.
Zhong Zhutou also stood up at this time, and toasted a glass of wine with a calm face, when Lu Qing clinked glasses with him, he didn't have any abnormal performance, and he couldn't see what effect the words just now had on this square-faced headcatcher...
Lu Qing was also happy to see him pretending to be garlic, saving him from tearing his face and saying something ugly, which made everyone lose face.
Of course, Lin Shiyan also drank a drink, and her little face suddenly became a little red.
Next, the villagers began to take turns to toast at Lu Qing's table to express their gratitude, and Lu Qing blocked them one by one, not only drank her own share, but even Lin Shiyan's share for her. Because he knew she wasn't drinking well.
The banquet finally came to an end in a lively atmosphere, Lin Shiyan followed Village Chief He to send off every villager with a smile and encouragement, and the villagers all returned happy, they had not been so happy for a long time.
When the last person was sent away, Lin Shiyan realized that why didn't he see Senior Brother Lu, he had drunk a little too much just now, and it seemed that he had left halfway.
Thinking of him blocking the wine for himself, he was a little inexplicably moved for a while.
"He must be getting drunk right now." Lin Shiyan couldn't help but think so.
...
Lu Qing was lying on the bed in his room looking at the air in a daze at this time, not because he had drunk too much... To put it mildly, this wine is just an aperitif in his previous glorious history.
He just couldn't stand the grateful expressions of the villagers... The thought that he was actually going to abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves made him feel a little blocked in his heart.
Of course, he can also choose to take out the power of attorney issued by the Daoist Yamen and the handwritten letter from the head of Qingyun Palace to forcibly break into the county office, forcibly meddle in local affairs as an immortal envoy of Qingyun Palace, put Nafan Datong in prison, carefully examine his relationship with the man in white, and find out the case...
But does it really work? Let's not say that he can't beat the ghost of Yu Niang, just the two mysterious Shinto monks on the opposite side should not be underestimated.
They have been developing in Yongchang County for at least 40 years, and who knows if they have other helpers.
Even if he can get away with winning in the end, don't forget what he is now... He is now afraid that the imperial court will notice his existence, how can he force his neck to attract attention?
He bet that as long as he made a little movement here, the imperial court would definitely dig deeper, and it didn't mean that Qingyun Palace would definitely give up on itself at that time. But what if?
After all, the other party is the Ninety-Five Emperor who holds the heavens, and even if Qingyun Palace is bullish, it must take into account the impact... He really didn't dare to bet on the conscience of Qingyun Palace.
So Lu Qing seems to have a lot of hole cards, but in fact he is standing on a piece of ice that will break at any time and beg for a living. His reality doesn't allow him to take any risks.
And in order to get rid of this fate, he can only hold the thighs of Qingyun Palace, solve the problem of his dragon qi through the seal of Songhezi, and hope to obtain a major repair, so as to obtain a great transcendence... A detachment that no longer has to worry about this and that!
And until that is achieved, he will ruthlessly veto any choice that is contrary to his goal. This is helplessness.
...
"You're here... Do you feel better?"
A fragrant wind wafted by, and Lu Qing saw Lin Shiyan coming into the house with a bowl of decanting soup, this scene made him a little trance.. That's how Li Siyan took care of Hongren back then, and Lu Qing has seen such a picture too many times.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"Oh, it's okay.. It's just a little boring. ”
Lu Qing said casually, but Lin Shiyan nodded slightly, glanced at him thoughtfully, and then dragged him up from the bed.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that she was so inexplicable, Lu Qing said in a somewhat impatient tone.
"Take you somewhere!"
Lin Shiyan blinked, and then said in a mysterious tone. She is now becoming more and more childish in front of Lu Qing.
