Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 313
"Master Prefect!"

There was a panic at the altar, and the judge of the county government had to come out to preside over the overall situation, and ordered the prefect to be sent down for treatment.

This sacrifice ended hastily, leaving a huge gap in people's hearts.

The prefect was sent to the county mansion, and his cronies hurriedly went to ask for a medical officer, so he slowly opened his eyes, waved his hands, and said, "There's no need to go."

The confidant hurriedly greeted him, "Is the prefect alright?"

Zhang Taishou stood up, with a tired face on his face, and said, "What can I do."

The confidant hesitated and said, "Where is the general judge?"

Zhang Taishou closed his eyes and said: "Let him deal with it himself, don't worry about him."

Zhang Taishou didn't know that this tricky situation was a great blow to his prestige, but he had no other choice but to pretend to be dead and leave the mess to the judge to deal with.

He was burning in his heart, and said: "Housekeeper! Butler! Hurry up and prepare a gift with me, I want to go to Wujiang in person."

The housekeeper is an old man in the mansion, who has served Zhang Taishou for three generations. He knows everything about the mansion clearly, and he also knows about Miss Huayin's affairs.

The housekeeper prepared the gift, so he came to invite Zhang Taishou, and comforted him: "My lord, the drought continues, and now the water god of Wujiang River refuses to send rain. When you go to Wujiang River, you need a good word of advice, and don't make it difficult for the girl."

Zhang Taishou complained: "He is my brother-in-law, and he made an agreement with me to preside over the sacrifice. I get the incense tax and he gets the offering. Now he has changed his mind. Huayin is also true. If she is willing to speak for me, the water god How could she go back on her word? She is in the Dragon Palace and is favored by the water god, but she refuses to do her best for me."

The housekeeper felt powerless, and said: "The girl left home when she was young, and she has few relatives. If it makes the girl feel cold, it would be worse."

Zhang Taishou snorted coldly, and said: "I am her elder brother, I was supposed to go to Jinyun Mountain to cultivate immortals, but she stole my immortal fate, and asked her to do something for me, and she was making excuses..."

The old housekeeper murmured, but he could only sigh, and said: "Even if the master doesn't think about the girl, he should think about the old lady."

Zhang Taishou's throat rolled, he snorted coldly, and said: "Don't use my mother to pressure me, I know it well."

Seeing that he was angry, the old housekeeper didn't dare to touch him again.

Although he watched Taishou Zhang grow up, he was only a housekeeper after all, so he couldn't control Zhang Taishou.

Zhang Taishou let out a sigh of relief and said, "Get the carriage ready and go to Wujiang at night."

The old butler lowered his head, and then retreated from the room.

Just after he came out of the prefect's room, the old housekeeper walked through the courtyard, and saw a handsome and extraordinary jade-faced gentleman in the rockery and looked at him.

The old housekeeper had never seen this person before, so he was a little puzzled for a while, before he could ask any questions, he saw him with a jade face and smiled at him.

Involuntarily, he felt closeness in his heart, and he blurted out not to question but to welcome: "You young man, why did you come to the prefect's mansion?"

Gong Mengbi cupped his hands and said: "I am Shuiyue, a staff member of the Water Mansion, and I am ordered by the Water God to investigate."

The old butler looked around, led him into his room, and asked, "Are you a fairy from the water? I wonder what will the water god have?"

Gong Mengbi sighed and said: "The drought continues, and the water level of the Wujiang River is gradually dropping. The water god doesn't want to rain anymore, so he ordered me to stop the eunuch from offering sacrifices."

Only then did the old housekeeper understand the whole story, and he couldn't help becoming anxious, saying: "The water god doesn't want rain, so what can the people do?"

Gong Mengbi showed a bit of sadness, and said: "I don't know what the people will do, in fact, the Wujiang River can last a little longer, but the water god doesn't know when the drought will end, and he has scruples in his heart, so he wants to save water to protect himself. I don't want to be blessed by the common people."

The old housekeeper was anxious, and said: "Then my master's visit to the water god, isn't it futile?"

Gong Mengbi said: "I don't know either. Maybe Mrs. Huayin can talk to the water god?"

The old housekeeper shook his head and said: "My girl knows, I'm afraid she will die of anger."

That's what Gong Mengbi wanted to know, and with an expression of listening attentively, the old butler felt a lot of desire to confide in him for some reason.

With his eloquence, Gong Mengbi learned about the prefect's family affairs.

When the prefect was young, he and Mrs. Huayin once rescued an old Taoist priest who was transformed by Xuanxu, a real person sent by Jinyun Mountain Immortal Capital to the world.

Master Xuanxu was rescued by them, so he gave orders for them, saying that one is destined to seek immortality, and the other is destined to be rich, so he should enjoy the glory and wealth.

The prefect has the idea of ​​seeking Taoism in his heart, but his parents are still alive, how can he agree to his son going out to learn Taoism, and if the incense is cut off, he is even more afraid that he is a liar who deceives people and wants to waste money and kill him.

The eunuch hesitated, but Mrs. Huayin had the courage no one else had. She rushed to Jinyun Mountain overnight with her burden on her back, and never came back.

The family members didn't know if she was dead or alive, and had long suspected that she was dead.

Only the eunuch still had a vague idea that maybe she was cultivating immortals and asked.

It wasn't until Mrs. Huayin came back from Jinyun Mountain that she confirmed what the prefect had in mind.

What made him even more at odds with Mrs. Huayin was that Mrs. Huayin was the one who took away his fate.

Master Xuanxu asked Mrs. Huayin to go down the mountain because she was not destined to return to the mountain to practice.

Zhang Taishou was able to sit in this position because Mrs. Huayin contributed a lot.With his temperament and talent, he was not able to achieve the position of prefect. It was Mrs. Huayin who used Taoism to change his life, and borrowed a bit of dragon energy from the water god of Wujiang to enable him to achieve such an achievement.

Although he relied on his younger sister a lot, Zhang Taishou didn't like her in his heart. Instead, he hated her even more, thinking that she took away his fairy fate.

Gong Mengbi sighed, "There is such a thing."

The old butler had a sad face: "The two of them have been fighting fiercely since they were young, but the girl is from a daughter's family, so she can't always compete. She only won this one thing, but the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has also faded."

"The girl is a cultivator. She tried to persuade the master several times to cultivate one's morality, but the master refused to listen. The girl was so angry that she went to clean up in the water mansion and never came back."

"This time, the master and the water god conspired together. I don't know if the girl knows about it. If she knows, I'm afraid it will be even more alienated."

Gong Mengbi comforted: "We are all brothers and sisters, so there should be some affection."

The old butler just shook his head.

Gong Mengbi sighed: "The eunuch used the tax as a pretext to search for people's fat and people's anointment. If Mrs. Huayin knew about it, she would indeed be angry."

The old housekeeper sighed: "I can't persuade him. The old lady can't control him either. Now I only eat fast and chant Buddha, and I don't ask him anymore. Now I only take care of the internal affairs for him, and I have long since ignored the external affairs. I can't control it anymore."

Gong Mengbi said: "Just serve the old lady well."

The old housekeeper said: "Yes, I haven't had a good life for a few years. When the old lady is gone, I will go back to the countryside."

The old housekeeper was in a waning mood, looked at Gong Mengbi, gradually tasted it, and asked, "Shuiyue Immortal, why are you asking about these things?"

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I'm accumulating blessings and virtues for your family's prefect and Wujiang water god."

The old butler didn't know why, but Gong Mengbi had disappeared into the room.

He was stunned in place, and after a while he came back to his senses, "What am I doing here? What do I want to bring?"
