casket of old days

Chapter 70

Hao Xiangtong waited at the gate for a long time, and when he saw Chu Qiguang came out, he immediately went up to meet him.

She wanted to ask Chu Qiguang how he knew so much, but she opened her mouth and felt that it was not good to directly ask other people's secrets.

When Chu Qiguang saw Hao Xiangtong approaching, he thought that the other party was here to urge the change, so he said directly: "I'm going to be busy now, and the story will be interrupted for a few days."

"Huh?!" Hao Xiangtong was stunned for a while, seeing Chu Qiguang leaving in a hurry, she sighed in her heart, at first she thought that she and Mr. Chu were barely friends, but now she saw that the other party didn't seem to be too general She took it to heart.

'I'm afraid telling me the story is just for the sake of building relationships, use me to talk to my father. '

Thinking of this, Hao Xiangtong felt a little disgusted looking at Chu Qiguang's back, like an abandoned puppy.

She squeezed her fist: "I really want to beat him up!" '

At this moment, Chu Qiguang seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around and looked at Hao Xiangtong: "It's just me asking for leave for a few days, and I will come over in a few days to give you an update, and I will talk for an hour at a time. "

Hao Xiangtong couldn't help laughing immediately after hearing the words: "Really?"

Chu Qiguang said seriously: "This person has always told one story, and he has never lied since he grew up."

Hao Xiangtong thought about Chu Qiguang's upright appearance of not loving money and not being close to women, and nodded in agreement: "Then I will wait for you."

Chu Qiguang beckoned, and on the way to leave, he thought: "I almost forgot to maintain a relationship with Hao Xiangtong. After all, they are the seeds of the future, so we still need to maintain a good relationship." '

……

Then Chu Qiguang went back to the yard first, recalculating the next situation in his mind.

Then, seeing Chen Gang who was starting to shovel shit for the cat monsters, he called Chen Gang over and asked him to find the stray dogs to keep an eye on Hao Fulai, the housekeeper of the Hao family.

When Chen Gang heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "There is something wrong with Hao Fulai? Brother Gou, do you want us to do him?"

Chu Qiguang said unhappily: "Gangzi, don't just think about beating me up all day long, learn to use your brain more when you encounter trouble."

Chen Gang nodded, his gaze flashed again: "Then shall we tie him up?"

Chu Qiguang rubbed the center of his brows, and then suddenly slapped Chen Gang on the head: "When did I ask you to kidnap someone? Do whatever you are told, and don't mess with me."

Chen Gang touched his swollen head, and thought weakly in his heart: "Just now I was told to use my brain more." '

After instructing Chen Gang not to do unnecessary things, he asked the dog demon to keep an eye on Hao Fulai.

Looking at Chen Gang who kept nodding, Chu Qiguang thought in his heart: "Chen Gang, this kid, probably can only be a thug in this life. But such a single-minded person, sometimes he can use it at ease."

Chu Qiguang asked again: "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Chen Gang immediately said: "Brother Dog, I now have to shovel shit for more than a dozen cat monsters every day, prepare food for dog monsters and cat monsters, make cat wine, and greet and send them with you at night. Practicing martial arts is really a bit impossible."

Chu Qiguang nodded when he heard the words. It was really embarrassing for Chen Gang to do so many things by himself.

"Well, I'll give you ten taels of silver at night. You go back to Wangjiazhuang tomorrow and bring your two younger brothers over to help me with my work."

Chen Gang nodded happily when he heard the words. He always thought that what would be the future for the two younger brothers farming in the village?It's better to come out with Brother Gou to do big things to get ahead.

After Chen Gang left, Chu Qiguang called George over and asked, "Master Qiao, what was the ending of the story about Mr. Wu Ge that you told me last time?"

George rolled his eyes and thought: "Wu Siqi, old Wu Ge? He will have another ten years of great luck, and he will reform a lot of government affairs. But in the end, his family will be ransacked and his family will be wiped out after ten years."

"Why? Naturally, the emperor wants him to die, because his reforms have been transferred to the royal family, and he wants to cut off the daily expenses of the royal family. "

Speaking of this, George looked at Chu Qiguang subconsciously, and then continued: "A powerful person once said that Wu Gelao is just a knife used by the emperor for reform, and the knife must be thrown away when it is used up. Moreover, the purpose of the emperor's reforms today is not to make the country rich and the people strong, but to use the reforms to accumulate wealth and use it as food for his cultivation."

"Today, I want to gather the world's wealth and let myself break through to the realm above Taoism."

"But the realm above Taoism is too difficult. There has been no such person in the whole world for more than 200 years."

Qiao Zhi couldn't help but glanced at Chu Qiguang again: "The powerful person who commented on the emperor said... the emperor bet the fate of the country on himself. If he really breaks through to the Tao, then the world will be invincible, and the world will be peaceful." .But if it fails, the big man is finished."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "It seems that he has failed. But if I were him, became the emperor, and still had the opportunity to practice Taoism, I might take a gamble."

Then Chu Qiguang thought that Hao Yongtai had asked for leave for him anyway, so he simply stayed at home and practiced all day.

While practicing martial arts, he looked at the cat demons who were still in military training, and found that after these days of continuous feeding, rigorous training, and killing together, these cat demons have become accustomed to their current life. Qiao Zhi also gradually developed a sense of identity.

Following George's order, they stood neatly in two rows, took turns to sit down, shake hands, lie down, and play dead... They looked pretty decent.

Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi in his heart: "If you were not here, would these cat demons run around?"

Qiao Zhi said with a promise: "Don't worry, I have trained you to be obedient, and you will never run around!"

Chu Qiguang nodded and continued to practice martial arts. Because of the killing of Gu Wei after his illness yesterday, he felt that the effect of his practice today was particularly good, so he seized the time to practice Yasha Wangquan.

Butler Hao came to the door at night, looked at him and said coldly, "Come with me."

Chu Qiguang didn't take it seriously, and followed him to the back door of the county government office. Someone had already left a gap in the door waiting there.

Hao Fulai said coldly: "Someone has been arranged inside, who will take you to the county government's storeroom to find the county annals and meeting codes."

"Remember, you can only watch but not copy. And don't let people find out. If you are found out, then we don't even know you."

After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he said crookedly, "Let's see what you can come up with."

Chu Qiguang nodded, did not respond to Hao Fulai's hostility, but followed the guide inside to the direction of the warehouse.

The guide didn't talk to Chu Qiguang, let alone introduce himself.

Qiao Zhi jumped onto the eaves and asked curiously, "Why do you want to call me here today?"

Chu Qiguang said in his heart: "I always feel a little strange about Hao Fulai, so I'd better ask Master Qiao to follow just in case, after all, it takes care to sail for ten thousand years."

The passer-by took the key to open the warehouse, and after bringing Chu Qiguang over, he guarded the door, only letting Chu Qiguang go in and see.

Chu Qiguang looked at the warehouse in front of him, and let out a little breath: "The development track of Qingyang County since the founding of the country is hidden in these more than ten rows of bookshelves."

"From the data in the money and food account books I read, there are many bad debts and loopholes in Qingyang County..."

When Chu Qiguang looked through the money and grain account books, he not only learned about the wealth gap in Qingyang County and how serious the land annexation was, but also discovered some persistent tax problems left over from generation to generation.

"I remember that the year I was looking for was... the 2nd year of Yong'an."

Chu Qiguang searched for a while according to the year recorded on the bookshelf, and then turned out a meeting book.

"This is the book. It should have been re-transcribed. I don't know if it's recorded..."

Relying on the memory, comprehension, and comprehension bonus brought about by the third realm of cultivation, he can read at an extremely fast speed, almost ten lines at a glance, and he can still remember it with his photographic memory.

Soon, Chu Qiguang focused his eyes: "There is indeed a problem."

He smiled slightly: "After using this trick, I'm afraid that Hezhi County will not be able to manage the affairs of the Wu family and the Hao family anymore within a year or two."

Suddenly Chu Qiguang raised his head and listened to the noise coming from outside the warehouse.

……

Outside the warehouse door, the man who brought Chu Qiguang in was yawning boredly, when suddenly he heard a lot of footsteps coming.

I saw He Zhixian striding forward with a gloomy face, followed by more than 20 guards holding sticks, with desolate faces.

"Surround the warehouse for me." He Zhixian gave an order, and the guards immediately surrounded the warehouse.

The man who brought Chu Qiguang in was already in a cold sweat from fright, and said tremblingly: "The county... the county..."

He Zhixian glared at him, and directly kicked open the half-closed door of the warehouse: "Search! Find the person for me! Who dares to trespass in the county's important place, and who is stealing inside and out? Today, the officer will have to interrogate First trial."
