Jiang Wuji frowned and shouted: "Who said I was infected?"
"You, if you weren't infected, how could you have been unconscious for several days!" With the presence of the servants, the shopkeeper became more courageous.
"If you are not sick or in pain, why does your sister call all the doctors? More than ten doctors, none of them can cure you. You, you are not infected with the plague, what are you!"
As soon as they heard about the plague, the officers' expressions changed.
It was precisely because they were afraid of the resurgence of the plague that they searched for corpses day and night, pulled them out and burned them.
If the person in front of me is really infected with the plague, once the infection occurs, won't Yong'an County have to make the same mistake again?!
And just when the officer was about to arrest Jiang Wuji, Jiang Wuji sneered and said: "Ignorant people are really ridiculous. This county has just received the favor of my master, what? Now it is going to attack me?"
"Taoist Master Qingxuanzi is your master?" the leading officer asked in surprise.
The shopkeeper on the side yelled: "Fart! He is lying! That day he..."
"Noisy!"
Jiang Wuji took out the wooden sign with "Tiandao Temple" engraved on it, then looked at the shopkeeper and scolded him sternly.
"I am a disciple of Tiandao Temple. My master is Qing Xuanzi, and my master is Wuwei Zhenren! On July 16th, my master will leave first and let me stabilize Qi Hai before meeting him again."
"These past few days I have been in meditation and breathing, and I have not smelled the incense of the world."
"My sister is young and ignorant, and it is understandable to worry about my brother. However, I never thought that this place is full of quacks. And you knew that I practiced Taoism, but you did not explain it. Instead, you sued the official, saying that I was infected with the plague!"
"I think you are colluding with quack doctors and want to make money and kill people!"
"Shopkeeper Yong'an has a heart that can be punished!"
Hearing Jiang Wuji's words, the shopkeeper was stunned. Even his legs began to weaken and he might collapse to the ground at any time.
When he came to his senses, he shouted: "No, no, sir, he is lying! He is lying!"
"A wolf's ambition has no repentance!" Jiang Wuji mobilized Qi Yuan and threw out his sword!
The floor tiles shattered and half of the sword sank into the hard ground.
The leading officer with some discernment immediately saw the clues and quickly bowed and said: "Master Dao, please forgive me, it was because we were negligent and listened to the villain's evil words to confuse the crowd. We misunderstood one thing and another."
Then, he kicked the shopkeeper and said, "Tell me! Why did you frame Dao Master!"
"I, I didn't frame Master Dao."
"Oh, if you don't tell me now, there will be plenty of ways for you to tell me when you go to jail!"
When he heard the word "Dailao", the shopkeeper's face turned pale, and he cried: "Those, those doctors did give me some money, but, I really thought Master Dao was sick, I..."
"My lord! My lord, have mercy on me! Master Dao, I was wrong, Master Dao! Master Dao, please have mercy on me, Master Dao!!"
If this is done, the shopkeeper will have to shed his skin even if he is not dead.
But this is not enough, far from it!
Jiang Wuji said with a half-smile: "I'd like you to take it back and examine it carefully. Maybe you can find out something else. The white porridge I just drank was drugged. It's a drug that can cause dizziness.
"
"Is there such a thing?! Come here! Take it away!" the leader frowned angrily.
At this time, the shopkeeper's face was pale and even a little blue.
One second he was crying and begging for mercy, and the next second he was carried away like a dead dog by the guards.
Jiang Wuji has been taking psychiatric drugs for several years and is very sensitive to these drugs.
Fortunately, the medicine is not very effective and can be resolved with Qi Yuan.
But if he wakes up a few days later, what will Jiang Wuji say? Xiaoyu is afraid that someone will kill him.
The plague brought disasters, and although things are getting better now, it is also the time when Xiaoxiao appears.
Seeking wealth and sex is the most common thing.
The onlookers sighed and dispersed. They could talk about this matter for several days.
However, Jiang Wuji didn't care about this, and instead asked Xiaoyu to go back to his room to breathe. If Xiaoyu could also condense the Qi Sea, then he would at least be able to protect himself when he was away.
As for the Yamen side, I don’t plan to have too much contact.
After all, according to our understanding of ancient times, the officialdom was in deep trouble, and if you were not careful, you would get yourself into trouble, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
However, just when Jiang Wuji thought that this matter was over, another group of government officials arrived early the next morning.
"My inspection chief, Cao Li, has met Mr. Dao!"
A burly man with a scar on his face adjusted his clothes and then cupped his hand towards Jiang Wuji.
Jiang Wuji returned the gift and said, "Tiandao Temple is dust-free."
Wuchen was the Taoist title that Jiang Wuji thought of temporarily. After all, for a serious Taoist priest, having a Taoist title makes him look more serious.
However, Jiang Wuji frowned slightly at this moment.
What does this inspection department do? It sounds like it maintains public order... Why are you looking for me?
Cao Li grinned and said in a loud voice: "Little Taoist Master, I am a martial artist. If I have anything to say, I will speak out."
Jiang Wuji: "Master Cao, please speak."
Cao Li: "There is a rumor in the Yamen today that Master Dao has been stabilizing Qi Yuan recently. Cao Li is bold and wants to ask Master Dao, are you condensing Qi Hai?"
"Exactly."
"Is it done?"
"nature."
"Tao Sect... Ninth Grade Qi Refining!" Cao Li's eyes flickered, his envy undisguised.
Don't look at me like that, I'm getting goosebumps... Jiang Wuji couldn't bear to look directly at him.
In fact, Jiang Wuji didn't know the weight of the ninth-grade Qi refining at all, but judging from Cao Li's reaction, it should be quite powerful...
Cao Li said: "To be honest with you, the Taoist priest, although the great epidemic has passed, the crops in Yong'an County have withered and all livestock have died. The whole county is becoming depressed day by day, and the people are hungry. If we don't deal with it in time, there may be trouble again."
"Therefore, the County Magistrate asked me to go to Lecheng in person with the Registrar to find the County Sheriff."
Jiang Wuji: "Looking for the county guard?"
Cao Li: "Hey, I just want to ask the governor for more money and food."
Jiang Wuji understood what he heard and thought clearly, but what did it matter to him?
Seeing that Jiang Wuji didn't speak, Cao Li continued: "In the year of the great epidemic, there were countless corpses. Now there are zombies making trouble, and evil spirits are rampant. I hope the little Taoist can follow me to Lecheng."
"Don't worry, little Taoist Master. We will arrange everything on the road. Taking the official road will be less bumpy. But if we encounter evil spirits, I hope that the little Taoist Master can help."
Jiang Wuji frowned slightly and began to think.
I must go to Lecheng. Whether it is to see a doctor or find an expert to deal with the corpse of a woman with small feet, I have to go to a big city.
Besides, Tiandao Temple is also in Lecheng.
There is a major epidemic in Yong'an County. If nothing unexpected happens, the official roads will definitely be blocked.
There is no road guide, it is troublesome to take the official road, and it is dangerous and hard to cross the mountains... and you also need to prepare dry food, horses, etc.
You even have to be careful when going to bed at night, which is very annoying just thinking about it.
Besides, there won’t be much money involved…
If you join Cao Li and the others, food and accommodation are included, and you don't have to do anything yourself... Well, it's a good deal.
No matter how you consider it, it is better than going on the road with Xiaoyu.
After thinking about it, Jiang Wuji said: "Master Cao, I'm used to wandering..."
Cao Li took out a bag and put it on the table: "Here are ten taels of silver. I hope the Taoist Master will accept it."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to straighten the crooked chair.
Jiang Wuji: "Master Cao, I misunderstood."
Cao Li: "The Lord Registrar said, no matter whether you encounter evil spirits on the way, as long as you arrive at Lecheng, you will give the Taoist thirty taels!"
