Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 249

"Huh?" Xu Qing glared sharply at Master Wang, and shouted, "You can answer whatever I ask, what nonsense!"

"You," Master Wang gasped, humming, "The magistrate just asked me to arrest people, and didn't mention anything else."

"Okay, then it seems that you are useless..." Xu Qing pulled out a small knife from his sleeve, and the scabbard and blade made a cold sound.

Mr. Xianyi shrank his neck, pushed Master Wang away, and climbed a few steps forward, "Don't tell me, let me tell you, my lord, don't kill me..."

"Young master!" Master Wang sternly drank, and Young Master Xian Yi stopped talking again.

Seeing this, Xu Qing knew that they must know something deeper, and said: "Separate them and detain them. Whoever speaks out first will live."

Mr. Xianyi and Master Wang were taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean!"

Xu Qing sneered, waved his hand and said, "One of you must die!"

The sturdy guard obeyed and went to pull them away.

Young Master Xianyi and Master Wang were battered all over by the villagers, and they were also exhausted. At this time, a burst of strength burst out from nowhere, and Xu Qing's guards couldn't move all of a sudden.

Master Wang said loudly: "Master, don't say it, let me say it first, they dare not kill you!"

Young Master Ni Bodhisattva in fresh clothes crossed the river, where could he hear Master Wang's words, he scolded back bluntly: "Old man, don't try to lie to me, why wouldn't this devil dare, you don't want to live alone!"

Master Wang sighed, and said loudly: "Then let's not talk about it, let's see what he does..."

That surge of strength just popped up out of nowhere, and disappeared after a few words.Xu Qing's three strong guards said "Let's go", and the two of them formed an arc.

After they separated, the interrogation didn't even start, the two of them talked faster than the other, pouring beans into the bamboo tube and saying it all at once, Xu Qing was afraid of trouble.After listening to the two of them separately and comparing them, they found that what the two said was similar, so Xu Qing knew that it was true.

Things were just as the witch mother expected, the purpose of Qingluo Village and the county magistrate was indeed for the witchcraft in the hands of the witch mother.In addition, Qingluo Village also has the purpose of unifying the snail clan with the help of witchcraft.From stealing chickens to the injury of the village elders, it was all their plans, and even Luo Fushan's recklessness was included in their calculations.

Although a witchcraft is miraculous, it can cure diseases, save people and even deceive people, but what it consumes is the lifespan of the caster.If it is a close relative, the discount will be doubled.What's so good about this kind of spell, if it weren't for the witch mother who would treat death like home.

When Xu Qing asked, he found out that the county magistrate actually wanted to rely on this to cultivate immortals.

In the Southern Dynasties, dynasties changed frequently, and the court was unreliable, and neither was the world.So there are 480 temples, so that the people have faith.Let intellectuals have pursuits, what do they pursue?cultivating immortals...

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was also such a legacy, and the county magistrate of Luo County was also such a person.He took medicine during the day and repaired surgery in the house at night. This is a good method said by the "previous sages".While practicing, he accidentally learned that the snails have witchcraft, which can bring them back from the dead.After questioning, I found out that this method has not been passed down by the villages. After further investigation, it turns out that there is still a single seedling here.

If he insisted on grabbing it, he was afraid that all the jade and stone would be lost, so he devised a clever strategy to grab it.

They sent people to steal the chickens to induce them to kill the village elders. Once the village elders died, the witch mother could not support herself. In addition to the traditional rules, the power of Luotou Village could only be passed on to the next generation.Isn't the next generation of successors Luo Xiuxiu and Luo Fushan?
Then, they planned to frame and murder Luo Fushan, making Luo Xiuxiu unable to marry, creating a power vacuum for a while.

At this time, Qingluo Village appeared on the scene, and as the elder of the clan, forced Luotou Village to merge into Qingluo, and chose his own children to marry Xiuxiu as his wife, thus obtaining the inheritance of witchcraft.The magistrate also promised that after the success of this matter, Qingluo would also be able to merge Luowei, Luotian and Erzhai, and monopolize Luoxian County.

Turning such a big turn, killed at least four or five people, but it was all because of the county magistrate's sake of cultivating immortals.When Xu Qing heard this, he was immediately annoyed: "What a confused county magistrate!"

Apart from calling Zhixian stupid, Xu Qing couldn't find any other words. People like Zhixian had already fallen into a bewilderment.If you scold him, he is shameless, if you beat him, he will not feel pain, if you kill him, he will still think that he has ascended to heaven and attained enlightenment!

If he is a grassroots person, he can still be ignored, but now he is the head of a county, and I don't know who brought him up!He can kill three or four people for that practice today, what will he do to become an immortal tomorrow?Thinking about it carefully, Xu Qing was determined to get rid of these scourges as soon as possible.Not for anything else, just for peace of mind.

Just after listening to several people's explanations, Xu Qing received a note.This is the secret report method commonly used by Anhe now. When I opened it, I saw that it read: "Zhao Yuliang, the commander-in-chief of Tanzhou, has brought three thousand troops to the border of Luo County."

"Hmm..." Xu Qing pondered for a while, and said to the sender: "Teach Zongbing Zhao to sneak up here, I will be of great use. Tell him again, after the matter is completed, I will let him be promoted to a higher level."

In order to prevent the turmoil of the Qingluo people, Xu Qing held back this army and used it as a surprise soldier.After all, Xu Qingyue has done too much to mobilize the army on his behalf. It is better not to show it.

After watching the messenger leave, Xu Qing said to the guard: "You can let those two people go..."

"Well..."

At this time, Lobu's father also came over, and he reminded Xu Qing: "(Luo) Xu Qing, be careful not to kill the snake, there will be endless troubles."

Xu Qing shook his head and explained: "No rush, I just keep this little snake and lead the big snake out of its hole."

"(Luo) This..." Father Lobu sighed and said, "Boy Xu, you are an outsider, so there is no need to do so much for our village. If you really annoy the magistrate, alas... my Luotou Village will be merged into other villages. , and there will be nothing."

Xu Qing sighed and said: "The ordinary people in Luotou Village will have nothing, but once the witchcraft falls into the hands of bad people, it will harm the whole world. Besides, the Luo people who are Han people are not all from the Tang Dynasty now. ?”

Seeing that Xu Qing was so persistent, Father Lobu stopped persuading him.Anyway, Xu Qingcheng is a good thing, if not, at worst he will be merged into other villages.

The guards brought Master Wang and Mr. Xianyi together. Originally they were still celebrating what they said quickly. Surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings. After they could see each other, they were stunned. They stared and asked:
"You, are you not dead?"

"How are you still alive?"

The two were stunned for a moment, but also understood that they were being tricked, and said angrily: "That Shuzi tricked me, I will never live with you!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing's voice suddenly appeared behind them, and said sinisterly: "What else is there for the two of you, could it be that I haven't entertained you well?"

"Oh, Mr. Xu," Master Wang turned cloudy, regardless of the pain on his body, and bowed to Xu Qing: "Mr. Xu is very considerate, what else can I do?"

"It's nothing, it's just that we met each other by fate, I don't know your name yet." Xu Qing pointed at the young man in fresh clothes.

"My lord...my... villain's surname is Chen, and I have a humble name." Mr. Xianyi did not dare to be a gentleman any more.

"The county magistrate is also surnamed Chen?" Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "Get lost!"

The two fled in despair.
