Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 253
As the cold wind passed by, on the gate of the village entrance, a group of villagers with bows and knives all looked at Xu Qing along the hand of Luo Bu's father.One after another said: "Inspector? What kind of official is the Inspector, who is in charge of the county magistrate?"

Xu Qing brushed off his clothes, got up and walked forward, stood on the top of the village gate and said to the people below: "I am Xu Qing, the Governor of Cangzhou. You and other officials should put the people's peace and prosperity first. Why do you come here to harass the people?" The words were spoken so loudly that the whistling cold wind stagnated, and the people around were suddenly quiet.

After a while, the wind picked up again, and the common people's yamen servants started talking again.Only the magistrate of Chen County has not yet come to his senses.

Why?

Just because the seven words "Cangzhou Inspector Xu Master" are like thunder.

Xu Qing didn't know that what he did in Cangzhou was almost spread all over the world, and every time he did a major event, it became a topic that ordinary people in the market talked about.In the hearsay of the ordinary people in the market, the things Xu Qing did became more and more strange, as if they were miracles.

You know, if you don't leave Cangzhou, the common people will already think that Xu Qing is a descendant of the stars, the reincarnation of the gods, not to mention Huguang, which is thousands of miles away, and the wind of cultivating immortals is very hot.

For example, a hundred cases are tried every day. According to legend, Xu Qing has three thousand ghost soldiers, and eighty thousand demon officials are driven by them to observe the good and evil in the world.To drive the crocodile back to the sea and avoid the wind disaster, the folks told that Xu Qing and the Dragon King of the East China Sea are close friends and disciples of Emperor Dongtianhua.

There is also the power to create something out of nothing, so that tens of thousands of refugees are fed and clothed warmly; the ability to move mountains and fill the sea can transform saline-alkali soil into fertile land.

Coincidentally, Chen Zhixian heard all these things.What's more, he heard all the myths and believed them to be true.To a certain extent, what Xu Qing did in Cangzhou was the key to promoting his steadfast cultivation of immortality!

With such an ins and outs, Chen Zhixian's mind went blank when he learned that "Xu Daxian" was actually in Luotou Village.

After a long while, Chen Zhixian raised his head nervously, glanced at Xu Qing, and thought, that's not right, the official governor, why is he younger than me?Cangzhou is more than a thousand miles away from here, how did you come here?
But in a blink of an eye, Chen Zhixian suddenly realized by himself, gods, there is naturally a way to rejuvenate and stay young forever.Also, Governor Xu can move mountains and fill seas, how could he not know the little flying technique?The more Chen Zhixian thought about it, the more he felt that the person in front of him was Xu Qing, the Governor of Cangzhou, absolutely the same.

"Master Chen? This..." Seeing that the county magistrate opened his mouth and said nothing, the yamen servants gathered around.

Unexpectedly, a wave of fear suddenly appeared in Chen Zhixian's eyes. He knelt down tremblingly, crawled a few steps, and began to cry again. Immortal atonement, disciple, disciple, go to prepare now, our county will do everything we can, just ask Shangxian to stay for a few more days."

This kneeling and crying really shocked everyone around.The yamen servants have no leader. You look at me and I look at you. I don't know what to do.It was the first time for the villagers above the Zhaimen tower to see the magistrate kneel down, they didn't dare to stand in front of them, so they hurriedly dodged aside.

Xu Qing didn't know what it meant, he asked Lobu's father to say that nonsense first, just because he felt too young, if he didn't have a foreshadowing in advance, no one would believe that he was the governor.Seeing Chen Zhixian kneeling directly at this time, he was caught off guard. Could it be that this foreshadowing has such a big effect?

Xu Qing tried to say: "Forget it, gifts or not, they are all vulgar things, I don't like them. However, today when I passed by Luotou Village, the villagers here are simple and honest, and they treat me very well..."

Chen Zhixian hurriedly got up and said: "Hey! Shangxian said that Luotou villagers are simple and honest, how could they cover up criminals, it seems that my nephew died for another reason."

Saying that, Chen Zhixian turned around and said to the yamen servants: "Why are you still sticking here, walk around, don't hinder the eyes of the Shangxian."

The yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, afraid that Chen Zhixian would suffer here if they left, and afraid that he would be unhappy if they stayed, it was really a dilemma.At this time, Chen Zhixian has returned to "mortals", and he is also aware of this embarrassment.sidewalk:
"The bearers of the strong class stay here, the six housekeepers stay, and the rest go."

The servants in the yamen were so cold that their feet were cold. When they heard this more reliable order, they still hesitated.But one of them, seeing the development of the situation, was also the first cat, so he went to the direction of Qingluozhai.

Seeing that the yamen guards had retreated, all the villagers on the Zhaimen Tower clapped their hands together and said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Xu is a big assassin!" Father Lobu was also very emotional, and thanked Xu Qing .

That's it?It's a big deal to retreat after bragging, even if there are less than 100 people.It was too simple, Xu Qing felt uneasy, and thought to ask Chen Zhixian again.

He called Chen Zhixian in, and in order to keep Chen Zhixian looking up, he specially arranged a seat far away.Those six house officials didn't even have a place to sit, so they were placed far away to warm up by the fire.

As soon as Chen Zhixian sat down, he immediately asked: "Shangxian, how long has it been since becoming an immortal?"

"Huh?" Xu Qing pretended to recall, and then said: "It's been a long time, I have experienced more than 3000 kalpas, and each kalpa should be 670 years."

"Ah..." Chen Zhixian asked in a daze, "What is robbery?"

"There are three levels of catastrophe, the first level of lightning strikes, the second level of fire, and the third level of strong wind." Xu Qing perfunctory, and immediately turned to ask about the snail clan: "I heard that the green snails want to annex, but you want to take them away. The witchcraft in Luotou Village?"

Chen Zhixian was shocked when he heard this, he knelt on the ground and said: "You are worthy of being an immortal, but you know the inside story, please forgive me."

"Hahaha, I got it three years ago. You were going to go to hell because of this, but God has the virtue of being good at life, so I will give you a chance to confess." Life and death blow up.

"Great Immortal, I'll recruit, I'll recruit..." Without thinking about it, Chen Zhixian told all about Qing Luo and his conspiracy.

As Chen Zhixian said, he also scolded Qingluo for having evil intentions and using him as a gunman.He scolded this just to straighten out his position and draw a clear line with Qingluo, but Xu Qing listened and took it seriously.

The reason is the cooperation between the magistrate of Chen County and Qingluo, and none of them deal with Qingluo's village elders.From seizing witchcraft to attacking Luotou Village, it was all planned by the six house officials around Chenzhi County.What does this mean?It means that the people in power in the county government have all belonged to Qingluo Village!

What a green snail, at a time when others thought that the county government was in charge of taxes and didn't do anything, and it was useless, Qing snail had already secretly grasped the real power in his hands.This Chen magistrate, I'm afraid he has been emptied by his family long ago, right?
Could it be that the matter of his cultivation was also fooled by the green snails?
After Chen Zhixian finished speaking, Xu Qing said that being an official cannot become a fairy, and only after becoming a fairy can one become an official.He thought that as long as the county magistrate of Chen was not the county magistrate, there would be no big problem in cultivating immortals, and he only hoped that he would find his way back when he lost his way.Chen Zhixian also listened to the words, and wrote his resignation if he said anything, and went back to the mountains and forests.

Holding Chen Zhixian's words, Xu Qing chewed slowly. While thinking, there was a burst of eager footsteps outside the door.

"Young Master Xu, Young Master Xu..."

Father Lobu ran in, one foot was bare, it seemed that he lost his shoe in a panic.It was even more obvious that he was flustered because of the Chinese he spoke!
"Mr. Xu, something serious has happened, Luowei, the village elder of Tianluo Village has been kidnapped, and the witch mother has also been brought under control!"

Xu Qing stood up abruptly, only to see that Father Lobu's complexion became worse and he said:
"Also, also, eight hundred soldiers have surrounded our village!"

"Soldier? What is a soldier?" Xu Qing asked hastily.

"In the past, it was not normal. Our clan trained soldiers to protect ourselves. All these years, since I was a village elder, it has been abolished." Father Lobu sighed and said, "I didn't expect Qingluo's gang to secretly Raised soldiers."

After Lobu's father finished explaining, he said anxiously: "Mr. Xu, there are only three things. My Luotou Village has already asked you to do several things. I didn't expect that I will wait for you. We can't drag you down..."

Xu Qing was also anxious. He only had ten guards around him, so it was indeed very difficult to deal with the eight hundred soldiers.But escape, where to escape?

Father Lobu continued: "There is a secret road in the west of the village, which can lead directly to Luotou Mountain. It is safe there. Go find Xiuxiu and take her out of here."

Xu Qing asked worriedly: "What about you?"

"Us? Haha..." Father Lobu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "We were born and raised here, so naturally we can't let the green snails ruin this place."

"Oh," Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where is Chen Zhi County?"

Father Lobu said, "He's still outside,"

Xu Qing laughed after hearing this, and said: "Okay, go and call him, I have a way to ensure the safety of Luotou Village."

Father Lobu was puzzled and said: "Mr. Xu, since Qingluo's people have reached this point, they will no longer be afraid of him. It's useless for you to ask him to persuade you."

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "No, I just let him delay for a while, and I have reinforcements to rescue me!"

"Reinforcement?" Father Lobu took a deep look at Xu Qing, thinking that he has created so many miracles these days, and he is not like that kind of conceited person. His words are believable!Immediately, Father Lobu stopped talking, and went out to find the magistrate Chen.

Xu Qing didn't wait for Chen Zhixian to be found, and went out with his guards and Father Lobu.

Chen Zhixian sat with several officials, and when they saw Xu Qing and others coming in a hurry, they all stood up to greet them.

Xu Qing said: "Eight hundred soldiers surrounded the village outside the gate, but you did a good deed?"

Chen Zhixian's complexion changed, and he knelt down and said, "It has nothing to do with me, and I don't know what's going on."

Xu Qing swept away those officials, his face was as usual, but he just lowered his head.He sneered and said to the guards: "Come here, take down these officials!"

One of the officials suddenly showed a ruthless look, and shouted: "Hmph, you are dying, and you still dare to arrest me?"

The guards didn't care so much, seeing that he dared to talk back, they slapped him.

Xu Qing whispered that the fight was good, and said to the county magistrate: "Qingluo's native soldiers surrounded this village, you can decide what to do, do you take the blame and make meritorious deeds to persuade them to leave, or go to the [-]th floor of hell with them?"

Chen Zhixian immediately bowed his head and said, "I am willing to persuade them to leave."

Xu Qing nodded, but he didn't expect the magistrate to be of any help. He was waiting for Yang Cheng and Zhao Yuliang who came with the troops.
