There are more than 13,000 households in Qingping County, with a total of more than 40,000 people. Among them, there are four gentry families, and the Shi family is the head of the four gentry families!

The Shi family has always been domineering, and they are famous for being crabs who run amok in this three-acre area of ​​Qingping County.

If the Shi family dares to be so domineering, they naturally have a basis for it.

Below, the Shi family and three other gentry families have extensive connections and have always advanced and retreated together. Their minions have penetrated deeply into the people, often confusing right and wrong and manipulating public opinion!

Above all, Su Yuan, the county magistrate, is the son-in-law of the Shi family.

Su Yuan was in charge of education in the county. He taught students in various academies in the county and all followed his lead. Whenever there was a dispute, these people would stand up and wave flags and shout, fooling the people!

Therefore, when Su Yuan joins forces with the Shi family, even if he is the county magistrate, he must avoid his influence.

In order to appear noble and independent, the Shi family did not live in the county town, but lived three miles outside the countryside, beside the Lancang River.

The Lancang River is a tributary of the Nu River. It winds from the Hengduan Mountains stretching thousands of miles. The water is clear, the water plants are lush, and there are swarms of fish and shrimps. The Shi family built a mansion beside the river and specially led a small stream in from the slow flow.

They planted bamboo groves and built pavilions. In the summer, they drank water and played in the stream. In the winter, they enjoyed the wind and snow, and they cut ice and fished. It was a very romantic and elegant affair.

At this time, the head of the Shi family, Shi Zhongyu, was having a chat with his son-in-law Su Yuan by the bamboo stream in the backyard, while his son Shi Gandang was waiting on them.

"Master Li has probably received the imperial newspaper by now. I don't know what articles he will recite tomorrow at Mao, what kind of mental methods he will develop, and how many purple energy he will absorb." Su Yuan was twenty-five and six years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a gentle and elegant speech.

, personable.

Sitting next to him was Shi Zhongyu, who was over fifty years old, short in stature and with a big belly. He was wearing a leather jacket and a square scarf. Hearing this, he sighed: "Purple energy comes from the east, spiritual energy revives, but when Han Qingqian commits suicide in red clothes, she commits suicide.

Our county magistrate, I am afraid he is so frightened that he is at a loss what to do, hey."

If Han Qingqian hadn't repeatedly rejected his and his son's requests for concubines, why would things have ended like this?

What a pity!

Yes...Shi Gandang on the side felt the same way.

Su Yuan smiled and drank a glass of wine and said happily: "My father-in-law is right. Our Lord Li comes from a poor family and has a demonic heart. Even if he recites the article, I am afraid he will only develop a third-rate mental method and get a second or third purple energy!"

"From now on, all the treasures of heaven, materials and earth within a hundred miles of Qingping County will be in the hands of my son-in-law. How wonderful!" Shi Zhongyu soon became energetic again and winked at his son next to him.

Shi Gandang immediately added wine to the two of them and asked, "Brother-in-law, how can you tell whether the mental method is good or bad from the article? There is also purple energy, how can I get more of it?"

Su Yuan thanked him and replied: "The better the article is, the better the mental method will be! The more you understand the true meaning of the article, the more purple energy you will gain. Once you recite that masterpiece silently, the mental method you will evolve will inevitably

It’s unparalleled, but if you can’t understand its subtleties and just memorize it by rote, you probably won’t get much Zi Qi.”

"I understand. The article must not only be good, but also understandable. Thank you brother-in-law for your advice." Shi Gandang smiled and added more wine and asked, "Brother-in-law, what article are you planning to recite silently tomorrow?"

Su Yuan glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "You want to recite the same article as me and give you some pointers?"

Shi Gandang licked his face and smiled.

Su Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head in thought: "You don't know something. There is an upper limit to the amount of purple energy that each article can carry. The maximum is nine! It must be a masterpiece! However, if many people chant the same masterpiece,

Article, then the upper limit of the purple energy it can carry will be reduced. Originally it could absorb nine, maybe in the end, it will only be eight, or even seven, you understand."

Shi Zhongyu looked unhappy. This stinky son-in-law was worried that his son would share his purple spirit!

Chicken intestines!

Pooh!

As expected, the water thrown out by the married daughter!

However, this stinky son-in-law is in charge of education in the county and has many teachers and students under his command. With his character, he will definitely arrange for these people to recite the article tomorrow. By then, he will have many more practitioners under his command.

A good son-in-law!

The jade in the stone brings great comfort to the old man.

Shi Gandang had a grimace on his face. He didn't like studying. Without the Purple Qi coming from the East, he would have spent his whole life eating, drinking, having fun, ruining a good family, and living a muddleheaded life. But now he is able to practice and even have a glimpse of eternal life. How could he give up?

The elder brother-in-law quickly complimented the younger brother-in-law.

Su Yuan was annoyed by him, so she added, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's not an article."

"What do you mean, brother-in-law?" Shi Gandang's eyes lit up.

"As long as the text contains profound meaning, whether it is an article, a Taoist scripture, a Buddhist text, or a poem, you can understand it. However, poetry is just a small way of thinking." Su Yuan pointed out to him.

"Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures...I'm familiar with this!" Shi Gandang dropped the wine bottle and went to read his Happy Zen.

"This kid!" Shi Zhongyu snorted, and then asked solemnly, "Xian son-in-law, what is the magical use of this purple energy?"

"Regarding purple energy, Qin Tianjian only said that it can speed up practice and improve understanding." Su Yuandao, "But I think it must be more than that!"

"What does understanding mean?" Shi Zhongyu was puzzled.

Su Yuan leaned over and whispered: "As I said before, every article contains profound meanings, whether it is Taoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, articles or poems, you can understand the secret of the mind from it! Purple Qi can enhance our understanding and help us learn from the name.

In the article, the more Purple Qi you can comprehend the mind, the higher the success rate, and the more powerful the mind you can comprehend. In other words, in the same article, the same volume of Taoist scriptures and Buddhist texts, or even the same poem, the Purple Qi

People with more insights not only have a higher chance of success, but also the secrets of the mind they comprehend are far stronger than those with less purple energy!"

"I see, if it weren't for my virtuous son-in-law, I would still be ignorant of the hidden secrets of this purple spirit!" Shi Zhongyu smiled and poured wine for him.

"My father-in-law, you're welcome. We are all one family." Su Yuan took a sip of wine, smiling reservedly and contentedly. After a pause, he seemed to think of something and asked, "My father-in-law, I remember that you had an opportunity to get married many years ago.

A bag of gourd seeds that flowed out of a thousand-year-old tomb might as well be planted with one. When the purple energy comes from the east, it may be able to bring it back to life."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!!" Shi Zhongyu's eyes lit up and he shouted, stroking his hands, "I have been trying to plant this bag of gourd seeds since I got it, but unfortunately none of them survived. Now that the purple energy has come from the east... this gourd must be

Can live!"

"Master, it's not good." At this moment, the Shi family's steward Sun ran over and said anxiously, "That Han Qingqian didn't die, he was rescued by Magistrate Li!"

"Huh?" Su Yuan frowned, as if displeased, but soon relieved, "If you're not dead, you're not dead. Then Li Mu was born in a poor family, and he only knows a few good articles. There are so many poor families in the world.

Let’s chant together, oh, he can’t become a great person!”

"The wise son-in-law is right. County Magistrate Li has been alone for one year since he took office. There is nothing to worry about such a person!" Shi Zhongyu smiled and raised his glass, "Win!"

"Drink to win!" Su Yuan smiled reservedly.

…

The county government office in Qingping County occupies a large area, with the court hall in front and a wing in the back. Li Mu has been living in the county government office the year he took office.

After rescuing Han Qingqian, Li Mu placed her in the backyard of the county government office and watched her closely to prevent her from causing any trouble again.

"My lord brought me here, what exactly are your plans for me?" Han Qingqian changed into a plain white dress, covered with a small coat, wore a red silk shawl on her shoulders, and a black silk hanging on her waist, her figure swaying, her voice

Like an oriole, crisp and sweet.

Her delicate facial features have a hint of Jiangnan's unique water quality, moist and tender, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

The strangulation on her neck has been treated with medicine, and a green ribbon is tied around it with a bow, which complements her snow-white and slender neck.

"Don't be anxious. I have to reverse your case and clear your grievances before I can send you home. You will stay here for the next few days." Li Mu said quickly. He didn't want to talk to this woman now, although she

He is good-looking, has a slender figure, has long breasts and long thighs, but he is going to be angry tomorrow, and he has to prepare an article, so he won't have time to date you.

"Sir, can I still go home?" Han Qingqian lowered her head and sobbed, "Just now in the prison, you did that kind of thing to me in front of so many people, even if you still show my innocence,

How can I face my dead parents?"

"What do you want?" Li Mu looked at her warily: Are you trying to touch me?

"Please give me a title." Han Qingqian blushed with embarrassment and almost buried her head in her chest.

"This... I can't help it, haha, cough, I'm not smiling." After Li Mu managed his expression, he showed off his authority and said, "This matter is indeed my negligence. In this way, I will reverse the case for you.

, I will give you an explanation!"

"Sir, Qing Qian is from an ordinary background. She knows she is not well-off and does not dare to ask for too much. All she wants is a concubine." Han Qingqian gritted her teeth and her voice was so low that you could hear a pin drop.

After this incident, she has woken up and knows that if she doesn't find a good family, she may be faced with many difficulties from the Shi family in the future. If she is really sold into Yanliu Lane, it will be too late to regret it!

In Qingping County, the only one who dares to challenge the Shi family is the magistrate in front of him.

She felt that instead of entering the Shi family and becoming the concubine of the father and son, it was better to stay here.

Even so, Han Qingqian was still embarrassed, the blush crawled from her cheeks to behind her ears, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to bury herself.

Li Mu felt very sad when he saw her like this. Look at how this feudal society persecutes girls.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately decided to accept the matter!
