If people don't talk about it, Lu Tongjuan said that people shouldn't think about it.
Not long after the brother and sister returned home, Qi Baoer had not yet entered his new yard, he and his father had not yet been kissing each other, Qi Kang'an, the father, had not yet competed for someone, and Lu Tongxuan and Xing Yatou were already there.
Came on horseback.
Judge Lu Tong obviously encountered a problem. He only said hello to the old man Qi Kang'an and then hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit to Qi Bao'er.
"Master Anle County, the thing is like this. In the past month or so, many cases have been solved in the nine counties and twenty-seven towns in Yong'an City.
If it were taken out in isolation, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. Either the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't get along, or the children were unfilial, or they were robbed on the way. Although there have been fatalities, small cases like this happen every year.
It's just that in just one month, such incidents have happened frequently here. Many of the families involved in the accident once had a good reputation. There is a family in Majia Village that is well known as a philanthropic family. However, a few days ago, their daughter-in-law was poisoned to death.
It’s a family matter.”
As soon as Lu Tongpan said his words, everyone in the Qi family straightened their faces.
Indeed, as Judge Lu Tong said, there are things like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not being filial to their children. It is not uncommon to encounter robbery on the way, but it seems a bit strange that such things happen frequently everywhere within a month.
.
Now that there are two spiritual practitioners in the family, the thoughts of the whole Qi family have been affected. They no longer think with ordinary people's thinking. When encountering such a thing, the first instinct is to think about it.
It’s not that there is evil behind it.
Thinking so, Old Man Qi also asked the same question.
Mr. Lu took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't think about it before. I just wondered if it was a bad year or if there was some force that wanted to disturb the peace of Yong'an City."
Yong'an City is the gatekeeper city of the capital. Once Yong'an City becomes uneasy, it will not be far away from the unrest in the capital.
Mr. Lu smiled slightly embarrassingly at Qi Bao'er, "Only after I met the county lord and the county lord saved my family did I realize how short-sighted I am.
After the incident was reported, I began to wonder if there were evil spirits doing evil. I was just worried about disturbing the peace of the county lord, so I always invited Taoist priests and masters [monks] from Yong'an City."
Qi Baoer ignored the compliment in his words, but looked at him without smiling and said: "Uncle Lu, you can invite me~"
The word 'oh' at the end was so special that it made Lu Tongpan's heart, liver and lungs tremble.
Lu Tongpan saw that Qi Baoer's eyes had turned into money symbols: "..."
Looking at the younger generation, he smiled helplessly and tolerantly, "Don't worry, County Master."
They also need money to hire Taoist priests and masters. Naturally, they won't save money by hiring the county leader.
After something strange happened in Yong'an City, the prefect had discussed with him all night, and finally the two of them decided that the prefect would thoroughly investigate whether there were other forces within the boundaries of Yong'an City that wanted to disrupt the peace of Yong'an City, and he would be responsible for checking whether there were any.
Evil spirits do evil.
So he can make the final decision regarding remuneration.
Of course, if the prefect knew that it was Lord Anle who took action personally, he would be happy to have the opportunity to make friends with Lord Anle.
Lu Tongpan didn't know if the Anle County Lord knew that he was special.
In Qilin, except for princesses, princesses, county lords, and village monarchs can all be canonized by the empress dowager and empress [but, their Qilin has never had an empress dowager].
Moreover, these three female titles have always been conferred by the queen and then stamped with a jade seal by the emperor. This is the difference between the Qilin Kingdom and other countries. Whether it is a male official or a female official, there is no emperor.
There are countless jade seals that I have made.
Therefore, since the founding of the Qilin Kingdom, among the three titles of princess, county lord, and township lord, the queen first decided on the title, and the emperor only made the final decision.
Those can also be said to be personally sealed by the emperor, but to put it bluntly, the emperor just stamped the seal at the end, and some may not even pay attention to what the title is.
Qi Bao'er was the first county head since the founding of the Qilin Kingdom to have the emperor come up with the title, write the imperial edict in his own hand, and personally stamp it with a jade seal.
The grade is not high, but the meaning is very different.
Especially since the master of Anle County has not returned yet, the emperor's secret decree has been passed on to the prefect, asking him to find ways to prevent outsiders from disturbing the life of Anle County.
An ignorant person might think that even though he has been granted the title of county lord but cannot publicize it, this is the emperor's lack of attention.
But don't they, who are well versed in the matter, not know that the emperor is protecting the county owner of Anle, and only hopes that she will grow up safely and not become crooked due to everyone's praise and compliments.
Even if they have never killed anyone, they have seen it and they understand it in their hearts.
Because of the emperor's secret decree, the prefect did not dare to come to see the Anle County Lord at will. He even said in a very jealous tone in front of Judge Lu Tong several times that his family was lucky if they encountered ghosts.
Lu Tongpan really didn't know what Qi Baoer was thinking about, and no one told her.
When she heard what Judge Lu Tong said, she knew that she could earn a lot by doing a trip, and she immediately started to think about it.
The family just built a big house, and her father also hired people to "open up wasteland". If her fourth uncle passes the exam this time, it will cost a lot of money in the future. She still has some on hand, but if she thinks about it carefully, she wants everything.
When it comes to money, you can't just sit back and have nothing.
If their family only relied on the fields, they would only have expenses and no income for the time being. Her father said that if he wanted to raise pigs and start a braised pork business, it would require an initial investment, and it might not be possible yet.
Thinking of this, Qi Baoer sighed silently in his heart.
It's not easy to be a salted fish, people still have to look at money.
Contrary to her, neither Old Man Qi nor Qi Kang'an was happy for her to go. It was one thing to know that his granddaughter/daughter was capable, but how could he ask his granddaughter/daughter to support the family?
Do you still want the old face?
But before either of them had time to speak, Qi Bao'er had already made a decision by slamming the table: "Okay, Uncle Lu, I'll go take a look with you."
Knowing what Master and Dad were thinking, Qi Baoer turned around to persuade them again, "Master, Dad, I really have to go this time. Something happened in Xiaomang Village, and a lot of people from the Taoist sect were lost there. We are familiar with them."
At Yunhua Temple, two Taoist priests got into trouble and seven of their disciples were gone. The other disciples who went to Xiaomang Village together will probably have to cultivate for at least one or two years."
Qi Bao'er's little face showed a rare heavy look, "Master, Dad, I don't know how many people in Yong'an City have things like Xiaomang Village, and I don't know how many Taoists are still active in Yong'an City.
Everything may seem like a small matter, but if evil spirits really confuse people's hearts and do evil, over time, big things will happen."
Old man Qi opened his mouth, but his objections were still stuck in his throat. He looked at Qi Bao'er deeply with obscure eyes, sighed lightly and lowered his head to drink tea.
He regretted it.
I regret that I gave my granddaughter the identity of a god on the way to escape, I regret that I saved those three people, and I regret even more that I came to settle in Yong'an City.
You are just a child!
It’s because they, the grandparents and parents, are incompetent, otherwise why would they be running around obediently?
Old man Qi, who was trapped in his own strange circle, never thought that as a spiritual practitioner, Qi Bao'er would also take action against something like this that might disturb the world, even if he had no money to make.
Heaven is not fair, but it is also fair. It gives spiritual practitioners the gift of spiritual cultivation. Likewise, they also have responsibilities that cannot be shied away from.
