The New Year is approaching, and there are more and more people in the official circles. Although the world is in chaos, for businessmen, they just keep their heads in their belts and take advantage of the good times to naturally make more money.
Xie Zheng and Xie Miao galloped, but this time, they were not investigating the case, but inviting people.
Last time in Funiu Town and the group, both Xie Zheng and Xie Miao suffered a great psychological impact, and it also made them understand that the world is more complicated than they imagined. In many cases, just because they haven't seen it before, it doesn't mean it's true.
No.
The two of them did not hide any matters related to the Peng family, and reported everything to the county magistrate truthfully. After all, even if they didn't tell them, the other party could know the exact situation from Peng Songlai.
After listening to the Peng family's story, the county official was speechless for a long time, and finally said only four words: What a strange person.
However, Xie Zheng and Xie Miao never imagined that just two months later, they would have to invite the strange person mentioned by the county magistrate.
Lin'an County is located on an important road that runs directly from north to south. From a military perspective, this is a battleground for military strategists.
Gu Yaosen, the magistrate of Lin'an County and Peng Songlai's eldest son-in-law, has behaved tepidly since he took office. However, despite this tepidity, he has also penetrated his influence into the entire county, accounting for one-third of the county.
A police officer rushed home, and two merchants knelt in front of the government office all night.
The kind-faced Magistrate Gu, even if he used thunderous methods, it was like gentle breeze and drizzle, but the chill could penetrate into his bones, and this was one of the reasons why Su Chongshan was willing to make good friends with him.
But just recently, Gu Xianzun, who has always been in trouble, also encountered difficulties. Seven wealthy households in the town were looted overnight. But the strange thing is that no traces were left at the scene, and the property seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Generally speaking, the whole thing is weird.
If there were only one or two families, then Gu Yaosen's prestige could suppress them, but this time there were too many wealthy households involved, and together they would be a powerful force. What's more, this kind of thing happened under his rule, and it also made it difficult for them to do so.
He is duty-bound.
When the case reached a deadlock, Gu Xianzun suddenly remembered the strange man on Funiu Mountain. In fact, after that incident, Peng Songlai sent his youngest daughter Peng Mi to live temporarily, so that the two sisters could talk and let Peng Mi live temporarily.
Stay away from the sad place.
Compared to Xie Zheng's and the other two's accounts, Peng Mi undoubtedly gave a more detailed account, and it was easier for Gu Yaosen to believe it.
Therefore, this matter was quite strange. Even Xie Zheng and his nephew had difficulty finding out the truth for a while, so Gu County Lord set his sights on Mu Yi. After all, according to his sister-in-law, Mu Yi was as good as a race god.
exist.
Gu Yaosen is not worried about whether he can invite Mu Yi. After all, he is also the head of a county, and he believes that Mu Yi will give him some face.
So this task fell to Uncle and Nephew Xie Zheng, who was relatively familiar with Mu Yi. Little did he know that Uncle and Nephew Xie Zheng was suffering from pain along the way. They were not women like Peng Mi, or women like Gu Yaosen.
A person who can only study and become an official.
They have an instinctive awe for Mu Yi, a reverence for power and the unknown.
Although Mr. Gu said it was simple, they didn't think it would be so easy to invite Mu Yi. In fact, it was the Su family's intervention last time that made Mu Yi come down, and they didn't think they had such a big reputation.
As for the county magistrate, it may be unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, but they believe that beings like Mu Yi will not care too much. Even if Mu Yi is really annoyed, it is not impossible for Lin'an City to change the county magistrate.
Therefore, the closer they got to Funiu Mountain, the heavier their moods became.
"Third uncle, what if he refuses then?" After taking a short break, Xie Miao couldn't help but ask his third uncle.
Xie Zheng looked away from the passers-by on the official road and glanced at his nephew lightly, "What else can I do? Of course I should go back and meet the county master."
"But..." Xie Miao couldn't help but wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Xie Zheng's eyes.
"Remember, if you offend the county magistrate, the most we can do is suffer some punishment and fine you some money. After all, your third uncle is also an old man in the county government. When he first came here, if your third uncle hadn't been there to comfort him, do you think those officers really
Will he be so honest? So he won't go too far. But he offended the guy on Funiu Mountain, hehe." Xie Zheng smiled when he said this, with an incomprehensible expression on his face.
"I offended the Lord of Funiu Mountain, and we don't know how we died." Xie Zheng said his last words in his heart, and did not tell Xie Miao. The main reason was that his nephew was too young.
If there's something on his mind, he can't hide it, so it's better to keep him confused.
Xie Miao glanced at his third uncle in confusion, but thinking about what he saw and heard that night, he simply shut his mouth. When he was not investigating the case, he was just a little stupid, not stupid.
"What should we do?" Xie Miao asked.
"What should we do? We just need to bring the words of the county master. As for how to decide, it has nothing to do with us." Xie Zheng said directly.
While the two were talking, they started off again. Two fast horses galloped on the official road, attracting angry looks from many people. However, when they saw the official uniforms they were wearing, they could only curse them in their hearts.
sentence.
Before noon, the Xie family's uncle and nephew climbed up the mountain, while Mu Yi was brewing medicine to replenish his body at the door. Now his body was like a bottomless pit, and it seemed that he couldn't fill it up no matter what.
Mu Yi was also a little surprised when he saw the uncles and nephews of the Xie family. Normally, such people would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, but since the other party had already arrived on the mountain, Mu Yi would not drive them away, and just wanted to hear their purpose.
"It's been a while since we last met, and the Taoist Master's temperament has become even more extraordinary, and he has the appearance of an immortal." Xie Zheng opened his mouth and said.
After hearing this, Mu Yi secretly laughed in his heart. He had nothing to do with Bufan now, let alone an immortal. How could an immortal squat at the door and cook his own medicine? And because he was just casually wearing white clothes on the mountain,
There is neither a scarf nor a crown on her head, but her hair is tied casually behind her back.
Although it can't be considered sloppy, it definitely doesn't match his temperament.
Even the muscles on Xie Miao's face couldn't help but twitch. Apparently, he couldn't accept his third uncle's flattery of Mu Yi.
"Tell me, why do you come to see me?" Mu Yi asked directly.
"It's like this. My nephew and I, following the order of the county magistrate, want to invite the Taoist elder to Lin'an." Xie Zheng said directly.
"Thank you for your kindness. Xiaodao has no plans to go down the mountain recently." Mu Yi refused without thinking. Although he still didn't know the purpose of inviting him, once he thought about it, it was definitely not possible.
If you meet him, you must be in trouble.
Last time Mu Yi came to help Peng Song, it was because Su Chongshan came forward. As for the county official, so what?
Not to mention now, Mu Yi probably wouldn't have cared too much about it even in the past, because he and Lao Dao both regarded the world as their home in the past. As for now, what can the other party do to him?
You know, during this period of time, Mu Yi has not given up on the Five Thunder Talisman. Now he has three spare ones on his body. He dare not say that he despises everything, but even if the county leader wants to deal with him, he must carefully consider it.
What's more, the other party still wants something from him.
(Last week the list ended, and the second place in the total list of rewards was given. Thank you everyone, especially Su Su and Sister Zhu. I couldn’t repay you, but I sacrificed myself... ahem, what? I originally planned to add more updates, but I was busy at the end of the year. Recently,
During this period, there will be a minimum of two updates every day. After the New Year, the debt will be paid off!)) (To be continued)
