casket of old days

Chapter 12
Qiao Zhi said with a guilty face: "Did I say 48 years? Did you hear wrong?"

Although Qiao Zhi directly denied what he had just said, Chu Qiguang secretly kept it in his heart.

In the days that followed, Chu Qiguang tried many times, and found that the cat demon had no door on his mouth, and soon revealed that he knew the future.

After that, Chu Qiguang suspected that the other party might be reborn. After all, he had traveled from the earth to this world, so it would not be impossible to meet another reborn cat demon.

At this moment, Qiao Zhi continued: "Anyway, you have to prepare early, the world will not be peaceful for long. The best way is to join the imperial court through martial arts first. The so-called leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade."

"With your status as an immortal, you will definitely be able to rise to the top, and only then can you protect yourself in the troubled times in the future."

Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi about various information about the court.

"Did the imperial court collect a lot of classics and information on Taoism and martial arts?"

What he thought was that since there are supernatural powers such as martial arts and Taoism in this world, state agencies will inevitably collect and even control the dissemination of these materials, and perhaps the information of "Secret Book of the Purple Mansion" can be found among them.

Qiao Zhi: "Of course, the imperial court has been collecting these intentionally since 200 years ago. The imperial court dares to say that it is the second, and no one dares to say that it is the first."

Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up slightly, and he thought in his heart: "It seems that it is indeed necessary to join the imperial court."On the one hand, for this kind of feudal dynasty, joining the imperial court can obtain the best development conditions, and on the other hand, it is also the way to find the "Secret Book of the Purple Mansion".Even if the imperial court does not have information about the "Secret Book of the Purple Mansion" in the future, it can mobilize the imperial court's power to search for it among the people. '

At the moment Chu Qiguang asked more about liberal arts and martial arts, planning how to join the imperial court and climb to a high position.

One night passed, and it was agreed to start teaching martial arts tomorrow night, and continue to learn Chinese characters, so Chu Qiguang went down the mountain and went home.

Walking down the stone steps down the mountain and being blown by the cool wind, Chu Qiguang's body couldn't help shaking. Thinking back to the past night when he went up the mountain to hunt for monsters, and was taught by a cat to practice Taoism and read books, he felt fantastic and gorgeous, like a big dream .

Chu Qiguang couldn't help smiling slightly, recalling the difference between the earth and this side in his previous life, and secretly said in his heart: "This world is still a bit interesting." '

As for the Wang family, with these animals and monsters in the mountains as helpers, he has more ways to deal with the Wang family, and some of the methods he thought of before can be put on hold for the time being.

……

Then there was yesterday's meditation practice. Although he didn't sleep all night, Chu Qiguang was still full of energy during the day.

But during the day, he was still busy with farm work as usual, listening to the bragging of the old people at the entrance of the village, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

But on the way home, he was surrounded by four or five men, blocking his way.

The man in the lead was tall and thin, wearing a half-new sky-blue gown, with an evil look on his face, looking at Chu Qiguang with malicious intent.

This person is called Zhang Da, and his family was considered a wealthy family in the early years, with cattle and mules in his family, and they cultivated dozens of acres of land.Later, he became obsessed with Pai Gow and Ma Diao, and went to the county town to gamble every day, and lost all his family's land property.

Fortunately, in the past, he was fond of learning some fists, and he had some acquaintances in the county government office, so he became the helper of the Wang family.

I only heard that Zhang looked at Chu Qiguang with squinting eyes, and said slowly: "Well, you two dogs, your family owes the imperial court taxes, and you dare to challenge the Wang family steward, you are not small."

Beside him was another thin boy called Chen Gang, wearing a dusty jacket and holding a big stone in his hand. He was the eldest son of Aunt Chen next door to Ergou's house.

Because the condition of Chen Gang's family is better than that of Ergou's family, and his body is stronger, he has often bullied Ergou since he was a child.

I just heard Chen Gang say: "If you are not very courageous, how dare you attack the king's steward? This is not nonsense."

Zhang Da couldn't help but glared at Chen Gang.

However, Chen Gang didn't feel Zhang Da's impatience. He picked up the stone in his arms and said, "You said it won't work if you just hit him with a stone, why don't you say that."

Seeing Zhang Da and Chen Gang who brought people here, Chu Qiguang cried out for trouble in his heart. When he saw the other party directly took out the stone, he even looked at the escape route in advance. He didn't want to have a bad fight with these country people .

Recalling what Qiao Zhi said last night about the information about the Wang family and the county, he shouted directly: "Don't be complacent, the Wang family's collusion with the county government to hide fields and tax evasion will soon be investigated by the police."

Zhang Da was slightly stunned when he heard the words, he never expected that Er Gou, who is normally stupid, would say such a thing.

The few men on the side were just ordinary rural idlers, and it was okay to bully the peasants. They were surprised when they heard the word patrol, but no one believed it.

Zhang Da frowned, and said with a sneer, "Stop talking nonsense, you don't know a single word, how can you write a pleading to sue? Besides, you don't know where the patrol office is. A state patrol governs the entire state. How can I care about you?"

Chen Gang on the side couldn't help but said: "What is the inspection or not? You said that you just hit a stone and passed out as I said. If you press his hand and sign the title deed, won't this land be sold? What are you doing?"

Chen Gang couldn't figure it out, a second dog whom he had often bullied since he was a child, hadn't been pressed to the ground and beaten by him, why would he have caused so much trouble.

While talking, he wanted to lift the stone up.

Zhang Da turned around and slapped Chen Gang on the head: "Shut up!" Then he turned to look at Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang looked at the thrown stone, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and said seriously: "There are good people who ask me for questioning, and I don't need to sue for the complaints they wrote. As for the inspector According to the yamen, the inspectors have to inspect the whole prefecture, and every prefecture and county has yamen, and our Qingyang County naturally also has a patrol office, which can accept civil lawsuits."

Chu Qiguang paused, and cupped his hands in the direction of the county seat: "Although I, a big man, have to sue at the first level in the lawsuit, the Lord Xunyan will act on behalf of the sky to uphold justice for the people. Find the Xunyan Procuratorate to file a lawsuit. But it’s not over the top.”

Hearing Ergou's plausible appearance, Zhang Da became more and more surprised.Ordinary farmers don't know this, Ergou can speak clearly, as if it is true.

"Where did Er Gou get such knowledge? Could it be that the Hao family in the county did it?" '

The Hao family in the county has a senior official who has returned to his hometown. Thinking of this, Zhang Da saw that the two dogs have become irrelevant. It is related to the conflict between the Wang family and the Hao family, so it is important to go back and report the letter.
