After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 252 Young Master He Is Not a Serious Person

   "You don't know these few years, haven't you been living well?"

   The problem is, now you know. Village head Liang wanted to cry, but he also felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, full of resentment.

  It’s still noon, so what should we do at night?

"It's okay to make more offerings. And the child died in the water, and he can only emerge from the water in the future. When you are okay, stay away from the water." He Lingchuan is not an expert in this way, "After Elder Liang came back, You can ask him."

  The head of village Liang was refreshed, yes, there is now an expert in the village!

  He Lingchuan didn't care about him, and went out to call Yanlang and Shan Youjun, etc., and wanted to ride a horse.

   But at this moment, several fine horses rushed in from outside the village. The demeanor of a knight is very different from that of a commoner, especially the leader, who is in his early forties, with a tall crown and narrow eyes, and his facial features are somewhat similar to Village Chief Liang.

  As soon as they entered the village, the nearby villagers gathered around and greeted them with smiles. Some people knelt down directly and shouted "Land Immortal".

  This kind of treatment is very different from He Lingchuan and others.

  Who is here, needless to say?

  He Lingchuan immediately thought of the guests at the General Manager's Mansion, and gave his father a good meal at noon. No, it was the guest from Chuanyun Pavilion for the big meal, Elder Liang.

  Village Chief Liang was also invigorated when he saw them, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Fourth brother, you are back!"

  Elder Liang smiled at him, turned his gaze to He Lingchuan and the others, and met each other.

  The village head Liang then introduced to both parties.

  He Lingchuan smiled all over his face: "I have admired you for a long time, did Elder Liang have a good chat with Director He at noon?"

  Actually, he took advantage of He Chunhua's time to drag Elder Liang, and ran here to threaten Village Chief Liang, but in the end he was blocked by Elder Liang, which was a little embarrassing indeed.

   But who is He Lingchuan? Can't see it at all.

  Elder Liang nodded and smiled.

  He Lingchuan waited for a few breaths before he could speak.

Hey? Dad didn't say that the distinguished guest from Chuanyun Pavilion is dumb.

  The disciple behind Elder Liang took a step forward, and said solemnly: "Sorry, master is practicing closed formulas, and he rarely speaks. If you have something to say, let me do it for you."

He Lingchuan let out a long "oh", without any grudges: "If you can't say it, don't say it, it's okay. I've finished my work, you guys talk about brotherhood, then I'll go first." After saying that, he smiled at everyone Laughing, he turned over and rode with his subordinates, and ran out of the village.

  When their backs disappeared, Elder Liang stretched out his hands and dialed. Everyone knew this action, and the crowd quickly dispersed, not daring to stay and disturb.

  They treat Elder Liang with much more respect than Village Chief Liang. Everyone knows that Shuangyu Village can live so arrogantly, largely thanks to the Taoist elder in front of him.

   Entering the room, Elder Liang gestured a few gestures to his elder brother.

  He has been practicing closed mouth formulas for twenty years, but he seldom returns to his hometown. Village head Liang is not familiar with dumb language, so he can only visit his disciples.

  Some disciples do their best, here is to translate and explain:

   "Master, I ask you, the government sent these people here to deal with that matter?"

  The smile of Village Chief Liang stagnated slightly, and he let out a sigh: "Yes, but don't be angry, what they said makes sense, so I, I..."

  He faltered a few times, but seeing his fourth brother's eyes were bright, he had no choice but to continue: "I've stamped it."

  Elder Liang gestured a few more times, and the disciple translated: "This is a matter in the village, you can decide."

  He doesn’t come back once in a few years, and he doesn’t take offerings from here. What does the affairs of the village have to do with him? If the village elder didn't use his tiger skin as a banner, and his elder brother begged him to intercede with the new manager, he wouldn't want to go into this kind of troubled water.

   "Okay, okay." Village head Liang promised again and again, smiling again, "Then I'll go find the village elder."

  He had already made up his mind, and said that it was Elder Liang's instruction to compromise with the government, so the other village elders naturally had nothing to say. Even if they had opinions, they did not dare to raise them face to face with Elder Liang.

  Elder Liang looked at his back and shook his head. He actually knew exactly what his brother was thinking.

   "The newly appointed state official clearly promised you well at the meeting, but secretly sent people into the village." The disciple seemed to be aggrieved.

  Elder Liang made several gestures.

   "Instead...respect?" Why isn't Master angry? "The disciple doesn't understand."

  Elder Liang smiled and stopped explaining.

  He Lingchuan and the others walked two or three hundred steps forward along the mountain road. Zhou Yufu couldn't help but said to He Lingchuan: "Young Master He, that Elder Liang just now probably already knows about it."

  He Lingchuan looked at his smile just now, but he was very obsequious: "You and I are on business, he is just a commoner here, are you afraid of a bird?"

  The truth is such a truth, but reality is reality. Zhou Yufu gradually figured out the young man's temper, and stopped arguing, and turned to ask doubts in his heart: "The water ghost in Shuangyu Village was really killed by the village chief?"

   "What water ghost?"

   "Didn't you just say..."

  He Lingchuan whipped a firecracker: "I lied to him, do you believe it?"

   "..." He believed it.

"When Village Chief Liang and his third daughter-in-law were huddling by the river, there was more than one spectator in the grove." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "He drowned the child in yellow clothes, thinking that killing the witnesses would kill him." But he didn't expect that the child's little friend was hiding in the long grass a few feet away, not daring to move, not only seeing Village Chief Liang's affair with his own eyes, but also witnessing the whole process of his murder."

"When Village Chief Liang left, my little friend ran home and told his parents everything." He Lingchuan paused, "Parents are afraid of the power of the village chief, so of course they want him to keep silent. Know."

  Zhou Yufu suddenly realized: "So that's the case! Then you, how did you know?"

"The parents of this little witness were one of the seven villagers who sold the land to Tian Cao's army. They were leaving anyway, and the buyer of the land was an official. They simply wrote down this confession and included it in the transaction. In the land deed." He Lingchuan chuckled, "This has been held back for many years, and I can't spit it out."

  It seems that the villagers have a lot of opinions on the village chief in private.

  Tian Cao Canjun saw this pleading paper and handed it over to He Chunhua. After the latter finished reading it, he felt hesitant, so he sent He Lingchuan to do the work.

   Zhou Yufu laughed: "Then Village Chief Liang will not even take a bath easily." For Village Chief Liang, wherever there is water, there may be water ghosts.

   "It depends on whether Elder Liang is supernatural and whether he can drive away the demons of the village chief." Young Master He originally wanted to collect some more evidence. There are so many eyes in the village who are not blind. It is impossible for Village Chief Liang’s affair to be watertight. However, Elder Liang went straight to the state capital today to ask for favor in Shuangyu Village. He Chunhua ordered the eldest son to finish the matter quickly, so He Lingchuan would not Don't come early.

   Arriving at the outskirts of Xinxiang, Zhou Yufu bid farewell to He Lingchuan with those precious land deeds in his arms.

  This Young Master He's behavior style is really...

  Informal about details.

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  He Lingchuan returned to Dunyu, the sun had already set in the west.

  As soon as he entered the house, Lao Mo led him to the living room. There is a new guest here, and even He Chunhua and his wife have to accompany him in person—

  The head of the Songyang Mansion, Li Qingge.

  There is a small pile of fruit shells on the table, obviously Songyang Hou has been sitting here for a while.

  When He Lingchuan saw her, he was startled for a moment, and then pointed at He Chunhua: "Don't blame Songyang Hou, it's Director He who temporarily sent me out to do missions!"

  Li Qingge made an appointment with him a long time ago, and came to watch Broken Knife today. In fact, this agreement has been postponed twice, because Li Qingge was very busy there.

   As a result, He Chunhua sent an urgent task to the eldest son, and He Lingchuan led the monkey and led his subordinates to go out. He forgot to inform Li Qingge that today's appointment was postponed.

  The Marquis of Songyang arrived as promised, but had no choice but to chat with He Chunhua who had returned home for a long time.

   As for why Mrs. Ying was also present, He Lingchuan understood with his knees.

  He Chunhua scolded with a smile: "It's really my good son!" Immediately pushed Lao Tzu to take the blame.

  Li Qingge smiled, without any sign of impatience: "It's okay, Mr. He has serious business to do. I have also negotiated several contacts with Mr. Manager."

  He Chunhua explained: "Xiazhou Prefecture will hire seven disciples from Songyang Prefecture to serve in the government and the army."

  Li Qingge nodded: "Chuanyun Pavilion cannot be allowed to take the lead."

  He Chunhua asked his eldest son again: "How are things going in Shuangyu Village?"

   "It's done. The village seal has been stamped on the land deed, and Mrs. Zhou went back happily." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I met a man wearing a tall hat and his eyes upturned as soon as I left the village. Could it be Elder Liang?"

"After I had lunch with Elder Liang, he went back to Shuangyu Village." He Chunhua took a sip of tea, "He came this time to represent Chuanyun Pavilion to pay a visit, and by the way, he recommended a dozen outstanding disciples to me. "

  Understood, I just came to visit the pier.

  Then why send someone who can't open his mouth?

  But Chuanyun Pavilion is well-known in the north, and He Chunhua is a new official, so no matter what, he should give Elder Liang a little bit of respect. In He Lingchuan's view, the relationship between Taoism and the government is somewhat similar to that between universities and the government. Most of the talents cultivated by Taoism are interested in official careers.

   Both parties have needs, so He Chunhua is very polite and considerate to Elder Liang and Marquis Songyang.

  He Lingchuan looked at Li Qingge. She is too young, and people always forget that she is the head of a sect, equal to the head of Chuanyun Pavilion.

"By the way, after Sun Fuping subjugated the law, the position of national teacher was vacant." Li Qingge said again, "I heard the news from the capital that the list of candidates has come out, and there are three people. I hope that this time, my king can choose A good teacher."

  He Chunhua's eyes moved slightly: "Sir Sir is really well informed. Among the candidates, which one do you prefer?"

   "These three are all outstanding people, and they all have connections." Li Qingge pondered, "Comparatively speaking, I am more optimistic about Fan Ke and Yan Lixin. The final national teacher should be chosen from among them."

   "There were three national teachers in our country, and if one Sun Fuping is removed, there are still two." He Chunhua said with a smile, "The environment in the capital city is a hundred times more complicated than here in Dunyu. To be able to climb to the position of national teacher in the end, strength and power are indispensable."
