Because of the previous help from the villagers, Qiao Xueying rushed over to help, helping people put out fires, carry the wounded, and sometimes use her abilities to lift collapsed beams, etc.
Seeing how busy she was, Zu An did not step forward, but walked towards the fields.
Qiao Xueying turned around and planned to call him for help, but when she saw his leaving figure, she thought to herself that he was really a stingy man, and he was still angry with these villagers.
Zu An walked towards the brightest place in the field. He wanted to confirm something, something in his memory.
The large meteorite in the sky just exploded into many small pieces, but a relatively large one remained. It fell into the ground about a mile away from the village, creating a huge deep crater.
Before he even got close, a strong burning sensation hit his face, and Zu An felt a little better after he circulated his energy throughout his body.
Even so, with his current cultivation level, he couldn't get close to the center of the pit, where the afterglow of violent burning remained, but he didn't need to get close, he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Seeing a line of words written on the huge meteorite, Zu An's expression became extremely strange. He couldn't help but look up at the stars in the sky. Is there really God's will in this world?
He returned to the village with a lot of worries. When Qiao Xueying saw this, she came over to pull him over: "What have you been doing? Since you are back, please help."
Zu An shook his head: "Is there anything I can do to help? It's destined to be impossible to change the outcome, and helping is in vain."
Qiao Xueying suddenly became anxious: "Why are you like this? Yes, they were not very friendly to you before, but you should also know that this is mainly caused by the strict laws of this country. What happened later also proved their true nature.
He was very kind, and he also brought us water and medicine.”
"I'm just bringing you water and medicine." Zu An corrected him.
Qiao Xueying was stunned: "You are not really angry because of this, are you? You are a grown man, can you stop being so petty?"
"It's not because of this, it's just that all this is meaningless. You should know it soon," Zu An added, "I would like to advise you not to waste your efforts."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Qiao Xueying snorted and was reincarnated into disaster relief.
The anger value from Qiao Xueying is +11+11+11...
Seeing the anger value received in the background, Zu An was immediately happy. This little girl's resentment towards him was really quite big.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance. Following the sound, I saw an official leading a group of soldiers coming this way.
The villagers immediately caused a commotion. After all, no one wants to see officials in this era. The village chief hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, why are you here?"
"How can I not come when there is such a big news? A meteorite fell from the sky. What a big deal this is. I have to find out and report it to the court as soon as possible." Mr. Wang obviously didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he just waved his hand and asked his subordinates to check around.
Explore.
The village chief asked hesitantly: "Mr. Wang, please see that there has been a disaster here. Now every household has suffered heavy damage. Let's see if the government can allocate some funds for disaster relief..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Wang: "Now the imperial court is very tight on expenses. We have to fight against foreigners in the north. In addition, we are building Afang Palace and the Imperial Mausoleum for free. Why don't you just solve these small things by yourself?"
Please trouble the court."
The village chief looked embarrassed: "But this year's harvest was not good, and many people's homes were burned down today..."
Before he could finish speaking, a soldier came over quickly and hurriedly reported: "Report! Mr. Wang is in trouble, Mr. Wang is in trouble!"
Mr. Wang was so angry that he kicked her over: "Your mother is so bad. Can you speak?"
The soldier was also very aggrieved. While rubbing the place where he was kicked, he pointed to the direction of the meteorite on the other side: "Over there...over there...there are words on the meteorite!"
"There is a word!" Mr. Wang's eyes lit up, he picked up his belt and ran over there.

I thought that if an auspicious sign came from heaven and the emperor was happy, wouldn't I be able to be promoted to a higher position?
As for what words are written, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the literati’s mouths can talk about life and death. When the time comes, we can ask some great scholars to explain it. Even an ordinary word can be interpreted as auspicious. After all, it fell from the sky.
,Significance!
A group of soldiers trotted over after him, and other villagers also followed curiously. Only Chen Wei supported his father and walked slowly behind, whispering: "Dad, why are you begging that dog officer? See him like that
You know you will never allocate funds to us for disaster relief, you are just being humiliated in vain."
The village chief sighed: "If you don't ask, there will be no chance at all. If you ask, there is still a glimmer of hope. For the future of the village, my personal honor and disgrace are nothing."
Chen Wei didn't speak, he just looked behind Mr. Wang, his eyes shining with hatred.
Mr. Wang was thinking about promotion, salary increase and reaching the peak of his life. When he saw the words on the meteorite clearly, he was stunned for an instant, and then a chill rose from behind and went straight to his forehead. He couldn't even stand up.
Can't stand.
"Who...who carved these words!" The people next to him hurriedly massaged his chest, and finally managed to calm down his breath. Mr. Wang jumped up almost instantly, pointed at the villagers in Chenjia Village, and roared angrily.
: "Speak quickly, otherwise none of you will be able to escape!"
The village chief was confused. He pushed aside the crowd and looked at the meteorite. He saw a few big characters engraved on it: The First Emperor died and the earth was divided!
"This...this..." He started to tremble instantly, and then fell to the ground without regaining his breath. Fortunately, Chen Wei, who was standing by him, quickly caught him with his quick eyes and hands.
"Have you fainted? Are you done just pretending to be faint?" Mr. Wang was furious. Yes, many things that are black can indeed be made white. He can also make up auspicious words with just a few words or even just a pattern on the meteorite, but writing
He had read such a clear and deeply rebellious passage, and even if he had ten thousand courages, he would not dare to interpret it casually.
"My dad is really fainted!" Chen Wei argued.
"I don't care if you are really dizzy or not. It's best to find out this matter immediately, otherwise you will be left with nothing to eat." After Master Wang finished speaking, he took out a mirror and reported it directly to his superiors.
Zu An looked on with cold eyes and found that the mirror looked like a video call in his previous life. It seemed that the world of cultivation was indeed magical. Even if he did not follow the technology line, he could still use cultivation to play a similar role.
Mr. Wang kept nodding and bowing to the person on the other side of the mirror. After the conversation, he put the mirror away, and then immediately said with a sinister look on his face: "Go from house to house and ask who carved this word. If you can't find out, you guys
All must die!"
Hearing his words, the villagers who were watching the theater were in an uproar. They were enjoying the melon, but they didn't know that the knife fell on their head!
"It's not us. We were busy putting out the fire just now."
"That's right, I don't know a single Chinese character, so how can I engrave any characters on it?"
"It's unfair. As everyone knows, I am blind."
…
A group of people started shouting injustice.
Qiao Xueying took Zu An's hand: "Did you see who carved the words just now? I was busy doing disaster relief here and didn't pay attention to that."
Zu An shook his head, feeling quite heavy.
"By the way, I thought I saw that man walking towards the meteorite just now." Suddenly a villager pointed at Zu An and shouted.
"Yes, the origins of these two people are suspicious, they must be the ones who did it." Others agreed, obviously it was related to their family and life, and they also wanted to clear themselves as soon as possible.
…
Qiao Xueying was stunned. She had just kindly helped them, but she got this kind of response.
"This is human nature, so don't take it too seriously," Zu An comforted in a low voice.
Qiao Xueying gave him a strange look. This guy had clearly refused to deal with the villagers just now, but now he was helping them.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He was really a weirdo when he spoke: "Humph, you look like you have seen through the world. How old are you?"
"Inability to see clearly has nothing to do with age. Some people remain fools throughout their lives." Zu An answered while paying attention to the movements of the soldiers, ready to break out at any time.
Upon hearing the identifications of the villagers, Mr. Wang suddenly turned back to look at the two of them, and his soldiers quietly scattered around to prevent him from escaping.
Just when Zu An was about to strike preemptively, a trace of doubt flashed in Mr. Wang's eyes, and then he laughed loudly and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Censor. We have been looking for Mr. Censor these days, but we didn't expect that Mr. Censor came here.
.”
"Master Yushi?" Zu An looked confused. His first reaction was that the other party was telling random things to numb himself, but he soon realized that this was impossible and there was no need for the other party to tell such a lie.
The experience of playing games and reading novels in the previous world made him immediately realize that this should be the identity assigned to them for this mission, in order to integrate into the plot more reasonably.
As he spoke, Mr. Wang glared at the villagers who had shouted before: "What are you talking nonsense about? This is the Censor, how could he write such treacherous words? Don't rush to get away with it."
As he spoke, he came to Zu An: "Master Yushi, the imperial court ordered Yitian and others to find the real culprit, otherwise we will be dismissed and executed. You have the highest official position here, and we all listen to you."
Zu An knew that he wanted to pass the blame, but he also knew that this should be the key to breaking the seal of heaven, so he did not refuse: "Okay, I will be in charge. You will interrogate each household in the village individually to prevent them from colluding in confessions."
.”
"Yes!" Master Wang hurriedly waved and asked his soldiers to separate the villagers for interrogation.
After doing all this, he came to Zu An with a flattering look on his face, but he dismissed him impatiently: "There are so many things going on here, and there are obviously not enough manpower. Why are you here for me? You should also interrogate me.
"
"Yes, yes, yes~" Mr. Wang nodded and bowed, thinking in his heart that luckily the pot was thrown away this time. Now that Mr. Yushi is on top, even if something happens, I will only have to bear secondary responsibility.
It's much better to take full responsibility in the beginning.
After he left, Qiao Xueying couldn't bear it anymore and asked hurriedly: "When did you become the Censor?"
Zu An replied: "This should be the identity assigned to us by the seal of heaven. If we find out who is the person who carved the words, we should be able to break the seal."
"Hey, it seems like it should be very simple. It's not as dangerous as the previous human seals and earth seals." Qiao Xueying breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are too happy too early. If nothing is found out, according to the laws of the Qin State, the two of us are responsible for handling the case. It will definitely be a capital crime. Mr. Wang is the deputy. He may just be dismissed from his post and investigated. Otherwise, why do you think he saw me like this?"
Happy." Zu An replied.
"That's just the worst case scenario. I think it shouldn't be difficult to check. There aren't many people in the village, and there are many interrogators among the government officials. They can find out one by one," Qiao Xueying added after thinking about it.
, "In addition, I can also exclude some people. I saw a lot of people when I was putting out the fire. They probably don't have the opportunity to go to the meteorite to engrave words."
"It would be great if that's really the case. This question actually has no solution." Zu An let out a long sigh and finally understood why this was the seal of the sky. It was not only related to the stars in the sky, but also the inevitable ending.
.
"How come there is no solution?" Qiao Xueying looked confused, "Also, you were clearly there just now. How come you didn't see anyone approaching the meteorite?"
"It's precisely because I saw it that I said this question has no solution, because..." Zu An paused, and then slowly said, "Because when this meteorite fell, these words were already engraved on it."

When the word count is short, they call me short, but when the word count is long, they don’t praise me.
