You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 537 has nothing to do with them

The green-robed man's expression changed, and the local official quickly spoke up, "Did you sell the carriage after you separated from the former innkeeper?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head and said, “We didn’t think about selling the carriage immediately at first.

But later, when we were looking for grass to feed the horses, we felt that we couldn’t take good care of the horses, so we thought about selling the carriage.”

Shi Xiaoliu explained where he sold the carriage and to whom he sold it, and said, "You can check the actual situation. There were a lot of people queuing to enter the city at that time."

The local official nodded, turned to the man in green robe and asked, "Is there anything else you need to know?"

The man in green robe shook his head, and the local official stood up to say goodbye to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two. The man in green robe and the waiter naturally followed him.

After they left, the neighbors continued to talk outside the courtyard gate. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, and Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Brother Xiaoliu, you should come out and speak."

Shi Xiaoliu went out and told his neighbors about the situation. After hearing it, they exclaimed, "The government officials came to you to ask about the situation. Will our government officials here arrange people to go to their side to inquire about the news?"

Shi Xiaoliu listened to what they said, looked at them and said, "No way.

They ask questions, and we answer them.”

"Oh, little brother, you don't understand.

Others have come to ask about your situation. If our officials don’t come and visit us, it would seem that we don’t take this matter seriously.”

When Shi Zelan and Xia Yu came out, they happened to hear everyone discussing who among Shi Xiaoliu and the other two should accompany the local officials who were going out of town.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, and Shi Zelan said directly: "None of us wants to go.

We have already walked that path, and we don’t want to go back.”

Two days later, local officials did come to ask Shi Xiaoliu and the other two if they were willing to travel to another place.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two made it clear that they had not done anything wrong and they were unwilling to go back.

The local officials accepted the opinions of Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, and also reminded them: "There is no definite conclusion yet on the matter of Wuming City, so you should not leave the city casually for the time being."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two frowned and said, "Okay, but we don't want to stay in your city for long. We want to go to the next city."

That day, the man in green robe and the waiter came again, and the waiter told him that he was leaving.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two naturally said goodbye to him. The waiter sighed, "Three gentlemen, after this separation, we will never have the chance to meet again."

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were silent for a while, Shi Xiaoliu said, "For a meeting like this, it's better not to meet."

The man in green robe asked some questions as usual, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two answered his questions seriously.

Shi Xiaoliu said to the man in green robe, "We hope that your government can find the cause of the fire in Wuming City as soon as possible. We don't want to be trapped here for too long."

The man in the green robe nodded and said, "In recent days, Lord Wang has already arrived in Wuming City. With his arrival, we may be able to find out the cause of the fire in Wuming City."

In recent days, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two have also heard about the glorious deeds of Lord Wang, so they also have some hope.

Days passed one after another, the leaves in the yard turned yellow, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two almost got used to the present life.

On this day, a local official came and said to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, "We have found some clues about the matter of Wuming City, but it is not convenient to announce all the truth."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two nodded in understanding. However, the fact was too cruel for them to listen to.

"You can enter and leave the city freely."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Zelan asked curiously, "Sir, was Wuming City a disaster caused by collusion between people inside and outside the city?" The local official sighed, "The whole city was burned to ashes, and there is not much that can be found.

After Lord Wang went over, he examined the situation carefully and thought that this was not a big thing that could be done by just two people.

Moreover, when the fire started in the city, the water source in the city was drugged, so that everyone in the city fell into a deep sleep, and was burned to death by the fire without any resistance. "

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two took a deep breath, and Shi Zelan asked, "Did Lord Wang find out what drug was put in the water?"

The official shook his head and said, “When Lord Wang came, he directly inspected the water in the city.

He found something white in the grass near a well.

After the local officials left, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two discussed their itinerary.

Their yard gate was opened, and the neighbors knocked on the door outside and came straight in, just in time to hear what the three of them were discussing.

At that moment, they tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Winter will be here soon. The New Year here is very lively. There will be a stage outside the city where you can listen to the singing girls perform.

We also have many extraordinary people here who can show their ability to swallow fire and swords. Some can crush rocks with their chests, and some can reach into the fire to take things out. "

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Then let's think about it again."

A neighbor looked at the three of them and asked, "Don't you have much money left?"

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two quickly shook their heads and said, "We have money in our hands, so we don't spend much.

We have sold herbs outside before. These few days, we will go out of town to your mountain to see if there are any herbs to pick."

The crowd quickly said to the three of them, “Brother Shi, there is the Lord’s mountain outside the city, and there is a wall at the foot of the mountain.

Go forward. The mountain ahead belongs to the government. You can enter and exit freely."

The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two walked out of the alley under everyone's expectant gazes.

After they left, everyone sighed: "These three people are too honest. The government told them to stay in the city, but they didn't dare to leave the city."

"Does the government have any news about the Wuming City?"

"The three little brothers can all leave the city. The things that happened in Nameless City should be found out to have nothing to do with them."

"Hehe, do these three look like people who would do something bad?"

“Yes, I saw the three of them were either reading or writing.

The last time I fell, it was Xiaoliu who helped me home."

"They can gather herbs, could they be doctors?"

"Brother Xiaoliu is a bit like a doctor. Last time I was feeling unwell and was boiling medicine, he passed by and told me that the medicine could no longer be boiled."

"Ah, once you said that, I felt it.

The green brother gave me the feeling of a Taoist priest. He liked to draw grid patterns on the ground.

Brother Lan must be someone who likes reading and writing. He always writes seriously. "

"It's a pity that his elder brother and second brother each have their own hobbies. As a younger brother, I'm afraid he has no interest in taking the imperial examinations."

At dusk, Shi Xiaoliu and two other people entered the city. They carried three bags of medicinal herbs, but they did not take them back to process them. Instead, they went directly to a medicine shop in the city to sell them.
