Farming, learning Wu, and peace in the world

Chapter 152
Chrysanthemum Hall on the second floor of Jingshan Hotel.

Director Wang, wearing a big red flower, greeted the guests at the door, and led Chi Qiaosong to the reception table: "Old Bin, this is the Director of the Dredging Office, Director Chi Qiaosong."

Ikehashi Song handed the prepared 25 yuan to the accounting desk, and the accounting desk was the person responsible for keeping the bookkeeping of the gift money.

The cash desk immediately shouted: "Director Ikehashi Song, the gift money is 25 yuan!"

A little cheesy.

But concubines hold banquets for the purpose of receiving gifts.

After keeping the account, Director Wang apologized, and asked someone to guide Chi Qiaosong to the table next to the chief seat - this table is the head of each department of the water building.

Everyone works in the same building, and we can chat if we know each other or not.

"Director Xiaochi seldom comes out for activities." A middle-aged bald leader scattered a circle of cigarettes and scattered them to Ikehashisong.

Ikehashi Song declined: "Thank you, I don't smoke, I have only been employed for a short time, and I really haven't participated in any activities."

"There will be activities in the future, let's go together."

"Okay."

"Let me tell you, Director Xiaochi can't be brought down, or Director Hao will have to come here with a knife." Someone joked that everyone already knew that Chi Qiaosong was Hao Bozhao's closed disciple.

There are many warriors in Mokan County, but there are only dozens of warrior masters, and those who have been in the officialdom will naturally not be unaware of them.

Chatting with colleagues and waiting for the banquet to begin, Director Wang came to toast with a young and beautiful lady on his arm.Aside from their status as aunts and concubines, the two of them can be called talented and beautiful.

"Leaders, eat and drink well. My old Wang is too strong to drink. I will apologize to you on his behalf." The concubine's character was bold, and she drank a glass of white wine in one gulp.

It drew applause from the guests.

Ikehashi Song also clapped his hands, and when he was full of wine and food, the concubinage banquet ended.

Declining a leader's proposal to sing, Ikehashisong rode home on a [-]-bar, somewhat regretful that he did not find any useful information from the banquet.

He wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about Xingzi Temple.

See if the abbot Xuan Hanzi is missing and if there is any movement outside, but for the time being, it seems that there is no movement.

"Forget it, I will find a chance to meet Teacher Liu Chun tomorrow, and I will entrust him to ask Xuan Hanzi to sell me a solid foundation talisman under the pretense that my martial arts foundation has some sequelae."

But after thinking about it, it seems that I was too hasty: "It's better to take it slow first, and don't get burned."

Although he and Tu Shanzi's methods were neat and did not leave any traces, but you can't be too careful about this kind of thing.Anyway, the disappearance of the abbot of Xingziguan is such a big event, sooner or later it will spread.

For the time being, it is better than all plans.

...

...

...

"Have you found anything?" Liu Shumin asked, rubbing his forehead at the county magistrate's office.

The adjutant said cautiously: "In Abbot Xuan Hanzi's room, only a few sets of night clothes were found, but his villa in the suburbs..."

"Don't hesitate, say."

"Yes, Chief." The adjutant said, "There is a dark room in the villa, and there are many heresy artifacts hidden in it. It can be concluded that the abbot Xuanhanzi has practiced sorcery."

"anything else?"

"There are the corpses of women and children, which are suspected to be the cauldron used by Xuan Hanzi when he practiced sorcery."

"absurd!"

Liu Shumin slammed the table and scolded: "It's ridiculous, the abbot of the dignified Taoist temple practiced evil methods at home... The corpse is still at home, and you don't even know how to cover it up!"

After Liu Shumin finished his anger, the adjutant asked: "Chief, Xingzi Temple is still waiting for your instructions."

"Is my instruction useful? All of them are upside down! Who owns the dog in the Xingzi Temple, and who will deal with it!"

"Then how does Xingzi Temple respond?"

"Let them clean up their hands, and then send someone from Sihan Tianshi's Mansion to take over as the abbot as soon as possible. I don't care about the other things. The evil affairs in Mokan County cannot be messed up."

"Yes."

"Go out and call Shan Chao over."

"Yes."

Not long after the adjutant left, there was a knock on the office door, and the female secretary led a middle-aged bald man in.The bald-headed man was a muscular man, wearing a police suit with stars on his shoulders.

"Governor, you are looking for me."

"Sit, Old Shan."

The big man was Shan Chao, the police chief of Mokan County, a third-class expert in the warrior realm. After he sat down, Liu Shumin continued, "You know about Xingzi Temple?"

"Well, I took someone to Xingziguan and Xuanhanzi's suburban villas to make sure that he was hiding his identity as a cultivator."

"Any other clues?"

Shan Chao hesitated for a moment, and said, "Governor, Xuan Hanzi may be involved in this matter."

"But it doesn't matter."

"He is likely to raise ghosts in the Earth Temple in Chijia Village, and the raw material is the Lengzhang God left by Liu Changyuan. According to my investigation, the Earth Temple in Chijia Village was arranged by him, including the statue of the Earth God."

Liu Shumin frowned deeply: "Have you been to the Earth Temple in Chijia Village?"

"I've been there. The statue of the God of Earth has been tampered with, and there are traces of raising ghosts, but the ghosts have been taken away. I suspect that Xuan Hanzi may have taken the ghosts and fled... But there is doubt, he doesn't seem to be He was not prepared to flee, and the family's household items were not cleaned up."

Liu Shumin scolded: "It's cultivating evil methods, and it's raising ghosts. It will make trouble for me!"

Shan Chao didn't answer.

Liu Shumin thought for a while after scolding: "No wonder Liu Changyuan was arrested at that time. He was so active after busy work. I thought he wanted to show his loyalty. I didn't expect there to be a conspiracy behind the scenes...Old Dan, you should sort out the investigation results carefully, and then Send someone to send it to the Marshal, this matter will let the Marshal go to argue with the Tianshi Mansion."

Shan Chao took the lead and left.

After everyone left, the female secretary gently brought a cup of coffee and sat on Liu Shumin's lap: "Master Governor, why are you so bothered?"

Liu Shumin put his hand into the arms of the female secretary and sighed: "I just want to be quiet, but I can't be quiet for a day."

The female secretary smiled charmingly: "I am quiet, sir."

...

...

...

"It's almost autumn."

The second uncle carried a log and walked on a newly built cinder mountain road, looking at the distant mountains gradually turning yellow: "In autumn, try to plant a few tea gardens."

Chijia Mountain has many stones and less soil than a ridge. Many fruit trees are not easy to grow, but it is more suitable for tea trees.

There are also many wild tea trees on the mountain.

"Chestnuts and tangerines can also be planted. Anyway, if you don't want to spend money, the tricks can be more complicated. It's good to grow them for your own home." Chi Qiaosong also carried a few logs.

Quickly overtake the second uncle and put the wood into the tractor box.

There are many trees in Chijiashan. Except for the old trees over a hundred years old, other miscellaneous trees will be cut down one after another and replaced with fruit trees.Take the wood and sell it.

I couldn't bear to just watch Father Chi and the others work, so Ike Hashimatsu would join in every day when I came back from get off work.

He is a martial artist, and he can work faster than Chi's father, second uncle, and little uncle combined.The logs on the mountainside were all loaded onto the tractor body in a short time.

Father Chi picked up the tractor and took the second uncle to sell wood.

Chi Qiaosong put on the saw again and started to cut down trees. When Father Chi and the others came back, he could basically cut out a cartful of wood.

This kind of work lasted for two full weeks, from mid-August to early September, and half of the miscellaneous trees in Chijiashan were cut down, and the roots were taken out and transported away.

Mother Chi carried the basket and turned over the stones.

Among the female comrades in the family, only Mother Chi came, because the sister-in-law was pregnant, and the second aunt was also pregnant after checking, so it was naturally impossible for the two pregnant women to go to work in the mountains.

Just stay at home, cook and take care of the children while looking after the medicine store.

Last week, Laochi's family rented a shop opposite Qingxiangjiayuan Community, and opened a "Yixiang Herbal Medicine Store" in the name of my uncle.

Half of the goods are produced in-house, and half of the goods are purchased from outside.

Because it is a new store, the business is relatively bleak, and not many medicinal materials can be sold in a day.

But I finally started a business, and if I continue to operate slowly, I can always see money back.

"Mom, take a break when you're tired, don't work so hard." Chi Qiaosong shouted, he was helpless sometimes, the older generation didn't seem to know how to enjoy life at all.

Mother Chi just stood up to answer.

From the bottom of the mountain came the sound of tractors beeping, and children shouting happily: "Brother, we are here!"

When Chi Qiaosong saw all the children in the family coming, he immediately blew a whistle up the mountain. The whistle was melodious, and Tu Shanzi, a hairless old fox practicing Zen, immediately spit out black smoke.

Black smoke galloped towards the pine garden.
