Just when Tianquan was gathering the people in full swing, Qian Xiaoxiao was sent back to the inn to rest. After all, this girl didn't have any martial arts skills. If Huxian Tower really had a master, he might not be able to take care of her.
After experiencing the Xiaofei Gorge incident, Qian Xiaoxiao became much more mature and did not show off her strength, but she still felt a little regretful in her heart if she also had martial arts skills.
Qian Xiaoxiao, who was somewhat lost, returned to the inn. After meeting the Zhao brothers and sisters, he naturally told them the plan finalized by Lu Hanjiang and Tianquan.
As a result, Zhao Ziyi, who was still drinking medicine on the bed, was so shocked that he vomited all the medicine after hearing Qian Xiaoxiao's words.
"You - alas! How can Taoist Priest and Brother Yue be so reckless? Oh, this is true!"
Zhao Ziyi was about to get up in a hurry, but Zhao Zijun quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Brother, what are you doing? You are still weak."
"Little sister, get out of the way. This is no time to lie down. If you wait any longer, they will cause a big mess. These people are so easy to incite. They are bringing trouble on themselves."
Zhao Ziyi said angrily.
Compared with Tianquan, who grew up in Jianghu, Zhao Ziyi was a disciple of Meihua Academy and studied under Luo Yuanjing. He had been taught the way of sages since elementary school and was often mentioned by his elder brother Qi Yunzhou. He didn't know anything about the affairs of the court.
few.
Tianquan's move seems to be to find a way out for himself, after all, the law does not punish the public, but in fact, this kind of incitement to the people is a huge threat to the people above.
Not to mention, Tianquan was born in a famous Qingcheng sect, which would definitely make people think bad things. If he met someone with scheming intentions, it would probably be a disaster.
Zhao Ziyi is a person who values friendship and righteousness. Since he and his sister Zhao Zijun have received kindness from Tianquan, they will not watch each other jump into the pit of fire.
Unfortunately, the other party has probably already cleared the way, so Zhao Ziyi can't stop him. He has to find another way to deal with the aftermath of the other party.
After much thought, Zhao Ziyi decided to go to the Yamen first. He changed his clothes, asked his sister Zhao Zijun to call a carriage and horses for him, and went to the Yamen while holding on to his sick body.
After arriving at the Yamen, he immediately identified himself and said to the officer at the door: "I am Zhao Ziyi, a disciple of Meihua Academy. I have something urgent and I want to see the county magistrate. Please let me know."
The officer had little experience and did not know what Meihua Academy was about, but he could tell that the other party was a scholar, and Zhao Ziyi also produced documents issued by the government. He was also a scholar with a good reputation.
The officer did not dare to neglect now, and quickly raised his hands and said: "Master, please wait for a moment, I will report it right away."
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars are always the first in this era. Even though Zhao Ziyi has no power or position and only has the reputation of being a scholar, his own status is that he can surpass many people.
Not long after, the servant came out and replied: "The master invites you to come in for tea. Master, please."
Zhao Ziyi didn't say much. After thanking him, he asked Zhao Zijun and Qian Xiaoxiao to stay in the carriage, and he entered the Yamen alone.
In order to deal with the aftermath of Tianquan and Lu Hanjiang, Zhao Ziyi thought of a lot of excuses along the way. However, after he saw the county magistrate, all these words were choked in his throat and he could not say them. Gein stood in front of him.
It turned out to be his classmate and senior brother, Fang Huayu.
"Senior Brother Fang? Why are you here?" Zhao Ziyi looked at his classmates in seventh-grade official uniforms in surprise. He was so shocked that he even forgot to salute.
"Haha, I just heard from my disciples that I thought it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it was really you, Junior Brother Zhao."
Fang Huayu smiled with a smile on his face and stepped forward to hold Zhao Ziyi's shoulders. Seeing his pale face, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Why is Junior Brother Zhao's face so bad? Is he sick?"
"Well, it's a long story. I'm fine. Senior brother, don't worry."
Zhao Ziyi exposed the matter carelessly, and then asked curiously: "Senior Brother Fang, I heard from the senior brother that you plan to serve in Beijing and enter the Hanlin in the future. Why do you serve here?"
County magistrate?"
Fang Huayu waved his hand: "Junior Brother Zhao, you also know that I can't stand the purity of the Hanlin Academy. If I have to stay there for more than ten years just waiting for a vacant seat to join the cabinet, I will definitely not be able to stay."
Zhao Ziyi and Fang Huayu were classmates, so he naturally knew each other's temperament, but he couldn't help but said regretfully: "Brother, even if you don't want to work hard, with your ability, you can't go anywhere, why would you come to this small place to do anything?"
Just a county magistrate, this is really too "
"Junior brother, what do you think it's a pity?" Fang Huayu patted Zhao Ziyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Junior brother, don't underestimate the seventh-grade magistrate. I am now also the parent official of the county, and the people of this hundred and eighty miles away
I'll take care of them all, this is no small job."
"Senior brother, I didn't mean that." Zhao Ziyi said with some shame.
Fang Huayu said: "Junior brother, why are you like this? You think so highly of me, it's too late to make me happy. Come on, I have nothing to do today. I, brother, just want to talk about our parting feelings."
With that said, he pulled Zhao Ziyi inside. After the two of them came to the back of the hall and sat down, Fang Huayu ordered someone to fetch a jar of good wine and filled it up for him as he spoke.
Zhao Ziyi quickly declined: "Senior Brother Fang, please wait a moment. Let Junior Brother plead guilty. My body is really weak and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to drink this wine. Besides, I have something to ask Senior Brother for help when I come here today. I'm afraid drinking will cause trouble."
"Ah, this is senior brother's negligence. I almost forgot that junior brother, your body is not feeling well. It doesn't matter, junior brother, you will stay at my house these days. When you recover, you and I will have a drink again!" Fang Huayu said enthusiastically!
.
Zhao Ziyi smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. However, junior brother has invited some friends to accompany him on his trip this time, so I won't bother him at his home."
"Well, if that's the case, then let's forget it. Haha, after all these years, Junior Brother Zhao is still so boring. If it were Qiao"
Fang Huayu hesitated to speak. He laughed at himself and ordered the people to remove the wine and replace it with tea. He asked by the way: "Let's get down to business. By the way, junior brother just said that he wanted to ask me for help. I don't know what it is about?"
Zhao Ziyi drank a cup of hot tea and explained what happened: "Brother, this is what happened."
Since they were all fellow disciples, Zhao Ziyi naturally wouldn't hide anything. He told him about the Fox Immortal Tower and Tianquan's plan to break into the house.
After hearing this, Fang Huayu looked a little ugly: "Humph, these people in the world have always been lawless. Does he think that by gathering the people, I can't punish him?"
Zhao Ziyi hurriedly advised: "The Huxianlou's actions are indeed quite evil. The people in the town are suffering because of them. Although Taoist Master Tianquan's move is a bit reckless, it is still out of good intentions after all. Please give me some advice."
Senior brother, please forgive me."
After listening to Zhao Ziyi's words, Fang Huayu's stern expression calmed down a little. This was not because he was persuaded by the other party, but because the junior brother had just mentioned the kindness he had received from Tianquan. This debt of gratitude was the most embarrassing, and he also
I don’t want to make it difficult for my junior brother to be a good person in the future.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Huayu said: "Forget it, I can turn a blind eye to the Taoist incident this time, but you must let him leave here immediately. The Fox Fairy Tower told him not to meddle in his own business."
Zhao Ziyi was confused and said: "Brother, can't you see the weirdness of Fox Fairy Tower? If there are only one or two cases, it can be called a coincidence, but almost half of the men in this town have been poisoned by them. This
Doesn’t that explain the problem?”
"."
Faced with Zhao Ziyi's impassioned speech, Fang Huayu remained silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "This matter is not as simple as you think. Junior brother, you didn't even see anything. This is for your own good."
