Qiao Zhi said with a guilty look on his face: "Did I say forty-eight years? Did you hear it wrong?"
Although Qiao Zhi directly denied what he had just said, Chu Qiguang secretly kept it in his heart.
In the days that followed, Chu Qiguang tried many times and found that the cat demon had not kept its mouth shut, and it was soon revealed that he knew the future.
After that, Chu Qiguang suspected that the other party might have been reborn. After all, he had traveled from the earth to this world, so it was not impossible to meet a reborn cat demon again.
At this moment, Qiao Zhi continued: "Anyway, you have to prepare early, the world will not be peaceful for long. The best way is to first pass the martial arts examination to join the imperial court. It is said that you can rest against a big tree to enjoy the shade."
"With your ability to banish an immortal, you will definitely rise to prominence. Only in this way can you protect yourself in the troubled times in the future."
Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi about various information about the court.
"Did the imperial court collect a lot of Taoist and martial arts books and information?"
What he thought was that since there are supernatural powers such as martial arts and Taoism in this world, the state agencies will inevitably collect and even control the dissemination of these materials, and perhaps the information on "Secrets of the Purple Mansion" can be found in them.
Qiao Zhi: "Of course, the imperial court has been collecting these intentionally since two hundred years ago. Books about Taoism and martial arts, information and various information. The imperial court dares to say that it is second, and no one dares to say that it is first."
Chu Qiguang's eyes brightened slightly, and he thought in his mind: 'It seems that joining the imperial court is indeed necessary. On the one hand, for this kind of feudal dynasty, joining the imperial court can obtain the best development conditions, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to find the "Secrets of the Purple Mansion"
"Method. Even if the court does not have the information about "Secret of the Purple Mansion" in the future, it can still mobilize the power of the court to find it among the people.'
At that moment, Chu Qiguang asked more about liberal arts and martial arts, and planned how to join the imperial court and climb to a high position.
After a night passed, and they agreed to start teaching martial arts tomorrow night and continue to read and study literature, Chu Qiguang went down the mountain and went home.
When walking on the stone steps going down the mountain, Chu Qiguang couldn't help but tremble when he was blown by the cool breeze. Thinking back to the time when he went up the mountain to look for monsters one night and was taught how to practice Buddhism and reading by a cat, he felt that it was fantastic and gorgeous, like a big dream.
.
Chu Qiguang couldn't help but smile slightly, recalling the differences between the earth and this place in his previous life, and thought to himself: 'This world is still a bit interesting.'
As for the Wang family, with the help of these animals and monsters in the mountains, he will have more ways to deal with the Wang family, and some of the methods he thought of before can be temporarily shelved.
…
After yesterday's meditation practice, even though he didn't sleep all night, Chu Qiguang was still energetic during the day.
But one day, he was still busy with farm work as usual, listening to the bragging of the old people at the entrance of the village, and there was nothing unusual about him.
But on the way home, four or five men surrounded me and blocked the way.
The man at the head was tall and thin, wearing a semi-new azure gown. He had an evil look on his face and looked at Chu Qiguang with evil intentions.
This man is called Zhang Da. In the early years, his family was considered a wealthy family. He owned cattle and mules and cultivated dozens of acres of land. Later, he became obsessed with Pai Gow and Ma Diao. He went to the county town every day to gamble and lost all his family property.
A bright one.
Fortunately, I had learned some boxing skills in the past and had some acquaintances in the county government, so I became the Wang family's helper.
Zhang Zhang looked at Chu Qiguang with his big squinting eyes and said slowly: "You two-dog, your family owes taxes to the court, and you dare to challenge the Wang family's steward. You are very courageous."
There was another thin young man on the side called Chen Gang. He was wearing a dusty short coat and holding a big stone in his hand. He was the eldest son of Aunt Chen next door to Ergou's house.
Because Chen Gang's family has better conditions than Ergou's family and is stronger, he has often bullied Ergou since he was a child.
Just listen to Chen Gang say: "How dare you confront the manager Wang if you are not brave enough? This is not nonsense."
Zhang Da couldn't help but glare at Chen Gang.
Chen Gang didn't feel Zhang Da's impatience. He picked up the stone in his arms and said, "You said it won't work if you knock him unconscious with just one stone. Why are you saying this?"
Seeing Zhang Da and Chen Gang who were looking for them, Chu Qiguang secretly cried out for trouble. When he saw the other party took out the stone, he even looked at the escape route in advance. He didn't want to have a bad fight with these country men.
.
Recalling the information Qiao Zhi told about the Wang family and the county last night, he shouted directly: "Don't be complacent. The Wang family has colluded with the county government to evade taxes. The patrol will soon come to investigate."
Zhang Da was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect Ergou, who was usually silly, to say such a thing.
The few men on the side were just ordinary rural idlers. They were good at bullying farmers. They were all surprised when they heard the word patrol, but no one believed it.
Zhang Da frowned and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense. You don't know a word of Chinese characters. How can you write a complaint to file a complaint? Besides, you don't even know where the patrol office is. A state patrol oversees the whole state.
How can I care about you?"
Chen Gang on the side couldn't help but said: "What's the point of patrolling and not patrolling? You said you did as I said, but I knocked him unconscious with a stone, pressed his hand and pledged the land deed, wouldn't this land be sold? Fei
What are you doing?"
Chen Gang couldn't figure out how the Ergou, whom he had often bullied since he was a child, got into so many troubles without being pinned to the ground and beaten by him every time.
As he spoke, he tried to lift the stone again.
Zhang Da turned around and slapped Chen Gang on the head: "Shut up!" Then he turned to look at Chu Qiguang.
Chu Qiguang looked at the thrown away stones and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said with a serious face: "There are good people who want to ask me for questions, and I don't need to go to them personally to complain about the pleadings they wrote. As for patrolling
According to the Yamen, the Inspector has to patrol the whole state. Each prefecture and county has an Yamen. Naturally, our Qingyang County also has a Patrol Yamen to handle civil lawsuits."
Chu Qiguang paused and cupped his hands in the direction of the county seat: "Although I, the Han Dynasty, need to file lawsuits one by one, the patrol magistrate patrols the sky on behalf of the sky and upholds justice for the people. Go to the patrol prosecutor's office to file a complaint.
But it’s not considered a leap forward.”
Hearing Ergou speak so plausibly, Zhang Da became even more surprised. How could ordinary farmers know this? Ergou could speak clearly and clearly, as if it were true.
'Where did Ergou get such knowledge? Could it be that the Hao family in the county took action?'
The Hao family in the county had high-ranking officials returning to their hometowns. Thinking of this, Zhang Da's eyes became inconsequential. It was related to the conflict between the Wang family and the Hao family. It was important to go back and report the news quickly.
