After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan turned his back and his smile disappeared.

Last night, he released nightmares to invade Butler Wu's dream and glean some information, which went very smoothly.

It seems that the person who also knows how to use nightmares to kill people is not Butler Wu but He Chunhua. That old man from the Atsyu Li family must have been killed by his cheap father.

He Chunhua was not here at the moment, which was convenient for He Lingchuan.

He has been informed:

First of all, Butler Wu did not know the whereabouts of Sun Hongye, nor did he know the book "Collected Notes on Yaohua".

Does it mean that He Chunhua was also unaware and that Sun Hongye really left on his own initiative on a temporary basis?

Secondly, He Chunhua did indeed reward the gods, and at the expense of his eldest son, he invited Nai Luotian!

With Butler Wu's testimony, everything is clear.

An inexplicable anger surged up, and He Lingchuan pressed his heart subconsciously.

He could identify the anger, unwillingness, and disbelief of being betrayed, but the transmission into his mind was already weak, as if they were separated by a thick layer of frosted glass.

These are the original emotions.

It was the instinctive reaction of the original person when he heard with his own ears what his beloved father had done to him.

He Lingchuan did not expect that while his control over this body became stronger and stronger, the remaining instincts of the original body did not completely disappear and could still react to the outside world.

"You should be worried." He Lingchuan whispered, "You are just a sacrifice. If you don't die when you fall off the cliff, you will be sacrificed one day. Rest in peace."

There was a long sigh in his mind, and he had another feeling:

The heart is as gray as death.

He stopped subconsciously.

Shan Youjun was puzzled: "Young Master?"

Qiu Hu, who was beside him, hissed softly: "Don't disturb me!"

Qiu Hu could notice that He Lingchuan's energy was moving around his body, but it was dispersed but not condensed. His eyes were suddenly empty. It was obvious that his consciousness had sunk into the sea of ​​consciousness.

People like him and He Lingchuan have highly condensed souls, and such holes rarely appear.

In other words, I was distracted.

But this state is different from ordinary people's desertion.

Fortunately, they haven't left the He Mansion yet, and whatever Young Master He does in his own house is not considered inappropriate.

Shan Youjun glanced at Qiu Hu and said nothing.

This side garden suddenly became quiet, as if even the wind blowing became gentle.

After more than ten breaths, He Lingchuan finally let out a long breath, his aura returned to normal, and his eyes regained their sparkle.

Under the trial of Panlong City, his soul became more and more powerful, and just now his spiritual mind was able to detect some of the remaining instincts of his original body.

In other words, a knot in my heart.

The original body was unwilling to accept it and did not understand why his biological father was willing to sacrifice him.

The original person has some obsessions, or conflicts, and hopes that He Lingchuan can let He Chunhua live and not kill him.

After all, I have had the blessing of having children for more than ten years.

If this knot cannot be resolved, this body cannot be considered to be completely under He Lingchuan's control.

From now on, this obsession and awkwardness will be buried in his heart and sink into his subconscious. It may even damage his rationality and affect his future judgments.

What is the subconscious mind? It's like a thought comes to mind naturally, but you can't trace its source.

If it reaches this point, he may not be able to figure out whether his future judgments are based on his own soul as a time-travelling soul, or on the obsession of his original body.

This is too dangerous.

The road to spiritual practice is bumpy and bumpy, and a single mistake can be fatal.

He had to find a way to solve this problem, and the simplest and most effective way was to satisfy it and resolve it.

After figuring this out, He Lingchuan was not worried but happy.

After the Battle of Xushan, he always thought back to his adventures at that time. Although he had gained a lot, he always felt that something was missing and he had not yet been able to improve.

It was clear that he was just one step away from the door, but he couldn't get in all the time.

Now he understands that as he enters this realm through practice, what he lacks most is the "completeness" of his origin.

That was a lack of spirituality. His boat of soul was sailing in the sea of ​​consciousness but missing a ballast stone. It was mysterious and mysterious.

Now that the crux has been found, there is a direction for subsequent actions.

Good thing.

"Come on, let's go to Juxiang Tower!" Young Master He was full of energy and in a good mood, "Just be casual, don't save me any money!"

￥￥￥￥￥

The twenty-fifth day passed in a snap of the fingers.

He Lingchuan stayed in Yuandu City to monitor the whereabouts of funds and material dispatch. The food and grass subsequently sent by Rongshan and the materials exchanged for loans must be reviewed by Rongshan's special envoy.

He Lingchuan's deputy in charge, Hu Qin, sent back more than a dozen items of expenses. Some accounts are disguised as military expenditures, with one item moved to the east and one item taken to the west, scattered here and there.

He Lingchuan was not familiar with these tricks, and his men were extremely busy, so he simply recruited his second brother He Yue to work.

He Yue has been helping his father over the years, and what he handles the most is accounting and item expenses. He knows all the tricks in it. When he took it over, he smiled and said: "It's a piece of cake! Just wait until I catch them and reveal them." "

He Lingchuan slapped him on the shoulder, making him grin: "It's up to you."

"Don't say I helped, otherwise the bosses will blame me to death!"

"Don't worry, I can't trick anyone but you."

As a result, He Yue found out that the first problematic expenditure was Shi Huancheng's official salary.

If there are any fishy expenses, they will be submitted directly to King Yuan after they are found out.

The next day, Magistrate Wu of Shi Huan City came to the door and smiled at He Lingchuan: "Sir, Mr. Special Envoy, Shi Huan's salary expenses are all clearly stated, and none of them are exaggerated or forged."

"County Magistrate Wu is an honest man. Deputy Ambassador Hu has audited these expenses, and they are indeed not exaggerated."

Hu Qin sat on the side and nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "The problem is that the expenditure is too huge. You have a fourth-level salary in a mere county government, with 87 employees!"

To put it simply, too many people eat imperial food.

He Lingchuan also said: "General Manager He was performing his duties in Xiazhou back then, and there were only about twenty people in the general office of the state."

Magistrate Wu said "Ah": "Shihuan is an auxiliary city. There are many officials and royal families, and there are many things to do. We don't need more manpower..."

He secretly cursed: He Chunhua's Xiazhou Mansion only has more than 20 people, can that be normal?

Which state or county does not have more people as it gets older? Let's look again in seven or eight years. Will the number of people in Xiazhou Prefecture be lower than 200?

Shihuan City is an old county that has been established for decades, and it is also an auxiliary city. How can there be so few people there?

He Lingchuan picked up the book and looked at it twice before saying: "Why does your county government need to keep three carriages and four grooms? Besides you, County Magistrate Wu, who else uses carriages and horses to travel in and out? These are legs Can’t walk because it’s broken?”

Magistrate Wu said: "There was a horseman who was a veteran of the battlefield. He had a broken leg and could not make a living, so he was given a job in the county..."

He Lingchuan reached out to him: "Have you brought the county personnel roster?"
