Chu Qiguang has become familiar with Hao Yongtai's boys these days, and the boys also feel very close to Mr. Chu who gives them money when they meet.
Chu Qiguang asked the other party to sit down and asked about the recent situation of the Hao family.
The boy shook his head and said: "The second master has not been in a good temper recently and gets angry at every turn. I think it has something to do with the matter of withdrawing from the farmland."
Chu Qiguang nodded. He knew that the eldest son of the Hao family was an editor of the Hanlin Academy in Shenjing, and the second master had been running the family business in Qingyang County.
After chatting with the boy for a while, Chu Qiguang looked at the other person's leaving figure and thought to himself: "The fight between the wealthy families in Qingyang County and the magistrate seems to be getting more and more intense. The magistrate wants to measure the acres of land and make the wealthy families retreat."
Naturally, a big family like the Tian Hao family will not do it. I am afraid that there will be another fight between dragons and tigers.'
'But according to Qiao Zhi, in about one or two months, the current chief minister of the cabinet will return to his hometown of Dingyou, and the minister from the Wu family will become the new chief minister of the cabinet.'
Chu Qiguang thought for a while and continued reading. As the night got deeper and deeper, Chu Qiguang suddenly heard a creaking sound deep in the library.
'Huh? Is it a mouse? Or a wild cat?'
Chu Qiguang frowned and didn't take it seriously. Just when he was about to continue his study, he suddenly felt the sound of wind behind his head. He quickly ducked forward to avoid the attack from behind.
Turning around, he saw a girl with a snow-white face staring at him, saying bitterly: "Where did you come from, little thief! How dare you come to the Hao family's library to steal something!"
Seeing that the other party had an extraordinary temperament and was wearing good training clothes, Chu Qiguang knew that it must be a misunderstanding and immediately said: "Miss, you misunderstood. Mr. Hao Yongtai brought me to the library to borrow it."
The other party originally wanted to take action, but he looked at Chu Qiguang hesitantly after hearing this, until Chu Qiguang called the boy outside the library to testify.
After listening to the boy's testimony, the girl looked at Chu Qiguang with an embarrassed face, a blush flashed on her snow-white cheeks: "No... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were brought by the eldest brother. This library is usually empty."
People come.”
Chu Qiguang looked at the other party's fair skin, somewhat slender frame and undulating figure, and immediately recalled in his mind the information about the Hao family that he had inquired about with the boy.
'This should be the sister of Hao Yongtai and Hao Yongnian. Her name is Hao Xiangtong. I heard that she has been fond of wielding knives and guns since she was a child and running around. By the way... I also saw her at Hao Yongnian's funeral.'
Upon hearing Hao Xiangtong's apology, Chu Qiguang also politely said that he didn't need to worry about it, and the two introduced each other again, so they were no longer acquainted.
Then Hao Xiangtong asked the boy to leave first, and told him not to tell others that she was here. Then he looked at Chu Qiguang curiously: "You were the one who found the fox demon that killed Hao Yongnian?"
Seeing Chu Qiguang's admission, Hao Xiangtong kept asking about her investigation process, with a look of great interest on his face.
Seeing her appearance, Chu Qiguang thought in his mind: 'I heard from the boy that Hao Xiangtong and Hao Yongnian were not born to the same mother. Looking at her appearance, the relationship between the siblings is not very good.'
After Chu Qiguang finished explaining the investigation process, Hao Xiangtong said with unfinished content: "It's really interesting. Have you investigated other cases?"
Looking at the big flashing eyes in front of him, Chu Qiguang's mind was recalling the information Qiao Zhi had told him.
'These generations of the Hao family, including Hao Yongnian and Hao Yongtai, are not powerful figures. On the contrary, this Hao Xiangtong is a bit remarkable...'
In this world, because cultivating Taoism is only in the later stages, martial arts is the mainstream choice for the powerful, and Taoism can only be practiced concurrently at most.
Since men are inherently stronger in physical strength than women, they have an advantage in martial arts training and their social status is generally higher than that of women.
'However, women are inherently more delicate and tenacious, and their potential in spiritual practice is higher than that of men. And this Hao Xiangtong is a rare spiritual genius. It's just a pity...'
According to Qiao Zhi's narration, this Hao Xiangtong was first-rate in terms of family background and appearance. He was already engaged to the young master from his hometown in Wuge. He was considered a standard winner in life, but he later became a prostitute.
But just a few years after getting married, she was kidnapped by the northern wolf tribe and sent to the northwest grasslands. She was adopted by Emperor Daqian as his concubine. During the fierce resistance, she was deprived of her hard-earned martial arts.
Living in a foreign race, surrounded by enemies and without any friends or relatives, she still faced the threat of death and the humiliation of her enemies all the time... But even in this situation, she still did not give up the fight, and instead worked hard to practice the immortal way in secret. Taoism "Mingli".
According to Qiao Zhi, the Immortal Tao's "Mingli" and "Elixir of Immortality" are both one of the 25 righteous methods. The Immortal Tao is the first human sect to spread Taoism to the northern demon tribe.
Hao Xiangtong, with his incredible tenacity and determination, endured tremendous pressure and humiliation, and finally entered Taoism after twenty years of hard training.
After entering Taoism, the first thing Hao Xiangtong did was to assassinate Emperor Daqian, make a fuss in the palace, kill Emperor Daqian, a total of 8 empresses, and concubines, and behead a total of 121 eunuchs and guards. In the end, he was killed by the master of Daqian. They besieged and died, which can be called a strange woman of a generation.
However, when Chu Qiguang looked at the fair and tender Hao Xiangtong in front of him, he saw that she was still a wealthy lady who was somewhat ignorant of the world.
While Chu Qiguang was stunned, Hao Xiangtong asked again: "Are there no other cases? Tell me."
'This woman... really affects my study.' Chu Qiguang frowned and thought to himself: 'But she has great potential, at least the value of 100 Chen Gang, and it is worth my time to invest.'
Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang smiled and said, "Ms. Hao knows a lot about the Yamen investigation?"
Hao Xiangtong nodded and said, "I don't really understand, but I like to hear it."
‘Fortunately, I don’t know much about it.’ Chu Qiguang asked tentatively: “How about I tell the girl a story?”
In fact, in the past, when Hao Xiangtong was bored, she would often come to the library to find some miscellaneous books such as Notes of the Sword Immortal and Tales of Gods, Ghosts and Ghosts to read, such as "Fox Story", "Ghost Words", "Cat Strange Tales"... She liked the various books in them the most. Various stories.
But her parents were worried that she would read too many books, so they prevented her from coming to the library, so Hao Xiangtong now sneaks in through the window.
Hearing the word story, Hao Xiangtong's eyes opened even wider, and he nodded repeatedly: "What story?"
Chu Qiguang thought about the other party's subsequent experience and performance, and said slowly: "It is said that in this land thousands of miles away, there is a small country called the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism is respected, there is no martial arts, only those who have multiplied to their peak. Taoism."
"Our story begins with Wu Zetian, the third young lady of the Wu family who had just been annulled..."
Hao Xiangtong listened with relish to Wu Zetian after her engagement was annulled and she yelled out the words "Don't bully the girl into being poor". Then she was punished to clean the ancestral hall and ended up picking up an evil dragon fruit...
Living in such a world where the culture is far more desolate than the earth, Hao Xiangtong has never heard such an interesting and immersive story, especially Chu Qiguang's language is much more interesting than others, and he has a strange temperament that makes her
I became even more fascinated after listening to it.
She felt her heart surge as she listened to Wu Zetian practicing and upgrading her skills, shining brightly on her family, and being loved by everyone.
Just when Wu Zetian was attacking Helan Mountain and was about to capture the man who broke off the engagement alive and beat the mistress along the way, Chu Qiguang suddenly stopped, stood up and said: "It's late at night, why don't we just stop here today, I should go home."
Hao Xiangtong hurriedly reached out and grabbed Chu Qiguang, gritted his teeth and said: "Why is this! It's wonderful!"
"The story can't be told in one day. How many chapters should I tell every day? There has to be a time to stop, right?" Chu Qiguang said, "This is called breaking chapters."
