The current patriarch of the Qi clan is named Qi Deyou. He is sixty-three years old this year and has been the patriarch for twenty years. When Qi Wang came over today, he already had some vague guesses in his mind. When Qi Wang came to see what he wanted to do, he didn't block Qi Wang from the door, but let him in.

Although what Qi Wang did yesterday was a bit beyond their expectations. First he told Qi Jinmo what he had done in front of everyone without mercy, and then he asked the clan to hand over what they had obtained, but strictly speaking , there was nothing wrong in what he did. Although Qi Deyou was unhappy, he did not embarrass Qi Wang in person, and of course he would not be too polite to him.

After welcoming the person in, the two of them sat down at the table. Qi Wan got straight to the point and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Chief, I have a total of more than seventy acres of fertile land under my name. I will round it up and calculate it as seventy acres. I plan to sell these fertile lands to the clan at half the market price. What do you think?"

After hearing Qi Wang's words, Qi Deyou touched his beard hand and paused. He did not agree immediately, but asked another question: "Qi Wang, why did you think of selling these fertile fields? "

Farmers like them value land most. Land is the capital of their livelihood. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never sell their land. Otherwise, if a person wants to sell land properly, he will be punished if word spreads. Said to be a prodigal son.

How could Qi Wan think of selling his land when he was so good? Did he not want to live a good life?

Although Qi Deyou was very moved by the seventy acres of half-price fertile land, as the head of the clan, he still had to intervene if Qi did such a wasteful thing. After all, he was also a member of the Qi clan, and if his reputation was If it goes bad, it will have an impact on the reputation of the entire tribe.

After hearing Qi Deyou's question, Qi Huan thought about it and slowly said, "I don't want to stay in Taohua Village anymore."

Qi Deyou was slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, he heard Qi Wan continue.

"I paid too much for that child Qi Jinmo, but in the end I ended up being buried alive by him. Taohua Village is a sad place for me, and I want to leave here."

After a pause, Qi Wang continued to speak, but his voice was much lower than before.

"And I also want to go to the Eastern Continent, find Qi Jinmo, and ask him why he is doing this

For me, if I don't know the reason, I won't be willing to do it even if I die."

"You want to go to the Eastern Continent? You are just a mortal. There are many dangers in the Wuwang Sea. Where can ordinary people get through it? You should just live your life at home honestly. You are already forty-eight years old. How many years do you have left? A good life? Why do you need to do these things?”

From Qi Deyou's point of view, what Qi Huan wants to do is completely a fantasy. As someone who has half a foot in the coffin, how can he have the capital to mess around?

Qi Deyou tried his best to persuade Qi Wang, hoping that he would give up the idea. However, Qi Wang had already made up his mind. How could Qi Deyou persuade him?

"I have been through the grave once, and there is nothing to fear."

"I just want the truth. If I do it, I still have a glimmer of hope. If I don't, there is really no hope."

"Patriarch, if you don't want these fertile fields, I can sell them to others. I won't stay in this Peach Blossom Village any longer."

Qi Wan had already spoken to such an extent. Seeing how determined he was, Qi Deyou stopped persuading him.

Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe because Qi Wang has already died once, that's why he is like this.

One mu of fertile land is converted into silver, which is two taels of silver, and seventy acres is one hundred and forty taels. However, Qi Wang only plans to sell it at half price, so he only needs seventy taels of silver.

Qi Deyou's family is well off, but he can't come up with these seventy taels of silver in a short while.

"How about you give me a few days' grace and I'll send it to you as soon as I gather the money?"

Qi Wang nodded and agreed. He happened to have something to do these days, so it didn't waste time.

After leaving Qi Deyou's house, Qi Wang went home and woke up Qi Fuyuan, saying that he would go to the county town to file a complaint today.

Qi Fuyuan saw that Qi Wang was determined, so he didn't try to persuade him. He went home, hitched an ox cart, and took Qi Wang to the county town.

At this time, it is spring and flowers are blooming. Both sides of the road are covered with flowers of various colors. The breeze blows, bringing bursts of fragrance. As far as the eye can see, there are rolling green mountains in the distance. Just looking at those peaks of different shapes, My mind seems to have broadened.

Qi Wang was in a very good mood, and all the depression that originally existed in his heart had disappeared.

The world's scenery is so beautiful, why should we worry about those few little people?

An hour later, the two of them arrived at the Wan'an County government office.

"Ah Wang, do you really want to sue? Otherwise, if we think about it carefully, we wouldn't have to rush so hard.

Kill them to death..."

Qi Fuyuan didn't say anything when he came all the way, but now that he has reached the end of the field, Qi Fuyuan feels a little regretful.

He has been doing his job honestly all his life, and he doesn't even know which way to open the yamen door. Before, he thought of coming with Qi Huan on impulse, but now that he saw the pair of stone lions at the yamen door, he had an idea in his heart. Regret.

Seeing that he was afraid, Qi Wang did not force Qi Fuyuan in front of him to follow him in. It was his business, and there was no need for Qi Fuyuan to go with him.

"Cousin, if you are afraid, just go sit with your two nephews for a while. When I finish the work, I will go find you."

Seeing that Qi Wang was determined to sue Qi Jinmo, Qi Fuyuan began to struggle in his heart. After a while, he finally made up his mind.

"Forget it, I'd better go with you so that I can provide you with evidence and help you if anything happens."

His cousin was pitiful enough, and he, as an elder brother, wanted to help Qi Wang no matter what.

Seeing that Qi Fuyuan had decided to go with him, Qi Wang couldn't persuade him, so he took him in with him.

In these days, it is important not to publicize family scandals. Any issues are usually settled within the family or within the clan, and basically they will not come to places like the county government.

The magistrate of Wan'an County has been an official here for ten years and has never encountered a case where I sued my son.

After all, parents love their children. Even if the child does something wrong, they will tolerate it. Once the child is sued by the county government, the child's life will be completely ruined. This is regarded as my lawsuit against the judge's son, let alone It is in the entire Wan'an County, even in the entire Yuanyuan Kingdom, there is no precedent.

After receiving the petition, the county magistrate quickly held a court session to inquire about the case.

Qi Huan and Qi Fuyuan knelt down in the hall. Qi Huan opened the mouth and told the whole story of the evil deeds Qi Jinmo had done.

However, this case is of great importance, and it cannot be settled by Qi Jinmo's one-sided statement. Qi Jinmo is a civil servant with a great reputation, and cases involving him must be handled carefully.

However, this county magistrate is a rare honest official, and the evidence for this matter is solid, so Qi Wang is not afraid that he will not achieve his goal.

Everything went as Qi Wang expected. After the county magistrate sent people to investigate and collect evidence, the case was quickly closed.

Qi Jinmo's fame was gone, and the story of raising people to become immortals at the expense of burying his biological father alive also spread throughout Wan'an County.

Qi Jinmo became famous at a young age. After so many years of business, the next

Not to mention, he is well-known in Wan'an County. How can people not be shocked that Qi Juren, who was originally praised by everyone, actually buried his biological father alive?

This news spread throughout Wan'an County at an extremely fast speed, and more and more people knew what Qi Jinmo had done. Almost everyone who knew about this matter was talking about it, in the streets and in teahouses.

In the tavern, from the rich to the humble, almost everyone was talking about Qi Jinmo.

Most people felt that Qi Jinmo was too ruthless and unworthy of being a human being. Even in order to embark on the path to immortality, he should not do such unethical things.

However, there are still some people who feel that Qi Jinmo's choice was not wrong.

Mortal life only lasts for a few decades. If you can embark on the path of cultivating immortality, you will not hesitate to sacrifice everything. Human nature is selfish, and it is understandable to do such things in order to live a better life for yourself.

Of course, these people also know that their thoughts are a bit dark, so they only think about them in private but do not express them openly.

However, the sequelae of this incident was that many good people came to Peach Blossom Village to see Qi Wan, a man who was buried alive by his son and rescued by an immortal.

Qi Wang would warmly entertain these people who came to his door, satisfy all their curiosity, and tell them the cause and effect of the matter in detail.

After half a month like this, the number of people coming gradually decreased, and Qi Deyou finally collected enough money to buy the fertile land from Qi Wan.

After signing the contract and giving the land to Qi Deyou, the matters in Taohua Village were basically settled. Qi Wan did not stay here longer and quietly left Taohua Village one night.

The first person to discover that Qi Wang was missing was Qi Fuyuan. Qi Wang gave the key to his home to Qi Fuyuan. He was worried because he had not seen Qi Wang for several days. When he went to Qi Wang's home, he found that the house was empty.

Qi Wang left a letter to Qi Fuyuan, telling him that he chose to leave the sad place of Taohua Village and would not come back again. He left these rooms at home to Qi Fuyuan as a way to thank him for his kindness to him over the years.

of care.

Qi Fuyuan asked the teacher in the village to read the letter. By the time the teacher finished reading it, Qi Fuyuan was already in tears.

Originally, he thought that Qi Wang had put this matter aside, but he didn't expect that his brother was so worried about it. When everything was resolved, he left without any nostalgia.

Qi Fuyuan didn't know where Qi Wang had gone, he only

I can silently wish Qi Wang that his life outside will be smooth sailing and that he will not encounter any setbacks.

Leizhou City is one of the largest cities in the south. It has pleasant scenery and rich real estate. And because it is located on a major transportation thoroughfare with roads extending in all directions, there are many merchants traveling from south to north, which makes Leizhou City more prosperous and prosperous.

More than a month ago, a storyteller came to Yanhui Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Leizhou City. I heard that this storyteller was very talented and the stories he told were very novel. No one had ever heard the stories he told, so even though he came to Leizhou

It didn't take long for him to live in the city, but he soon attracted a large number of loyal listeners. Countless people would rush to Yanhui Restaurant every day to listen to his stories.

Seeing that it was time for the storyteller to appear again, countless people hurried to where Yanhui Restaurant was.

Several scholars who had recently entered Leizhou City were sitting in a teahouse drinking tea. They saw people walking in a hurry on the street, most of them going in one direction, so they asked the waiter what they were doing.

The waiter looked outside and replied with a smile: "Several guests, they are going to Yanhui Restaurant to listen to stories."

The older scholar was a little curious, so he asked: "I'm just listening to people talk about books. How can I be so pretentious? The stories told by those storytellers are similar and there is nothing new. How can it be like this?"

The eager expressions on the faces of the people outside didn't look like they were going to listen to someone's story, but rather like they were going to participate in some kind of activity where they were tossing hydrangea balls to choose a husband.

The teahouse was not busy at this time, so the waiter patiently explained to the scholars.

"Some of you don't know that Mr. Taohua is different from ordinary storytellers. He tells a story for three days. Each story is a fresh story that has never been heard before. He has been here in Leizhou City for a month.

Mr. Peach Blossom has already told ten stories, all of which are exquisite, with ups and downs of plot, and none of them are similar."

At this point, the waiter paused and then said: "A few days ago, Mr. Peach Blossom has already announced that today he will tell a story about seeking immortality. It is guaranteed to be bizarre and strange, and it is a story that the world has never heard before.

, that’s why so many people rushed there.”

Judging from the tone of the waiter, it seemed that he had great respect for the so-called Mr. Peach Blossom. Several scholars present looked at each other and felt that the waiter might be exaggerating.

He is nothing more than a storyteller, a show-off who makes up some bizarre and absurd stories.

It's just a good idea, how can it be worthy of being so praised?

The five people soon had a plan in mind and planned to go to Yanhui Restaurant to have a look and see what was so special about this storyteller that he attracted so many people's attention.
