After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 556 escaped a catastrophe

"It would take too long to become a county magistrate in a local area. A son of an official like Zhong Sunmou went down in the name of an inspector. He not only supervised the people's livelihood, but also enriched his qualifications. The best of both worlds. The most wonderful thing is that the title of Inspector can be taken back after the inspection is over."

  He Lingchuan was transparent: "Gold-plated."

"This description is really appropriate." Li Qingge laughed, "However, the inspector still has a right to report to the emperor. A few years ago, I met an inspector from Lingxu City in Zhuolu County. It is much more grand than the Xiazhou governor visiting Xiazhou in person, the officials along the way are all received with the highest standard, they have never greeted their parents like that, and even the patrol envoys have eight cars to clear the road, and the places they pass are full of singing and dancing."

  He Lingchuan clicked his tongue twice: "Is this for the inspector to say something nice to himself in front of the emperor?"

   "No, you're wrong." Li Qingge shook his slender fingers, "This is for the inspectors to stop speaking ill of themselves in front of the emperor."

  He Lingchuan was dumbfounded.

   "In short, Zhong Sunmou is mediocre in Lingxu City?"

"It's not the best, it's not the worst, it's just middle-class." Li Qingge nodded, "Schools like this are everywhere in Lingxu City. There are always a few talented people, and even here, there are a lot of mediocre ones. "

   "Okay, then, Sir, please spread the news for me, emphasizing that Zhong Sunmou has run into obstacles everywhere in my hands, and there is nothing I can do."

  Li Qingge gave him a strange look: "Are you afraid that the water isn't muddy enough?"

  He Lingchuan grinned: "My lord understands me."

   He has come to Lingxu City, so don't be coy. Anyway, I am in a bad situation now, so I simply let go and do something big.

  Maybe, there will be a bright future in the explosion?

   "Then, it doesn't matter if Da Sinong and the Cen family all know about it?" Li Qingge turned his eyes slightly, "They probably already know that you helped Prince Chiyan catch Cen Boqing."

"The more people know the better, the 'more people' also includes Da Si Nong and the Cen family. Speaking of which, it was actually Du Yunshi who caught Cen Boqing, that's another story..." He Lingchuan rubbed his nose, " It doesn't matter, the news will reach their ears sooner or later."

   "Duyun Envoy?" Li Qingge lost his voice, "Don't tell me that you have provoked Duyun Envoy!"

"No."

  Li Qingge was about to breathe a sigh of relief when He Lingchuan continued, "It's the envoy Du Yun who provoked me."

   "You..." She gave He Lingchuan a hard look, "I have to consider breaking off ties with you."

   "Don't." He Lingchuan hurriedly cupped his hands, "Grandma, I'm helpless in Lingxu City, and it's all thanks to your help."

  Li Qingge frowned: "Du Yunshi is almost a **** on the ground, which one have you offended?"

   "Bai Ziqi." He Lingchuan coughed softly, "I didn't offend him, and even helped him catch Cen Boqing. But he always looks at me very strangely."

   "Bai Ziqi?" Li Qingge's face was solemn, "He is deeply favored by the gods, and he has the emperor's heart. What did you do to fall into his eyes?"

   "That's the problem, I didn't do anything!" He Lingchuan cried out, "But he seems to be investigating another case, and has listed me and Fu Shanyue as suspects."

   "Did you really commit a crime?"

"Of course not!" He Lingchuan said bitterly, "But you also know that Lingxu City is powerful, so I'm afraid you don't care about it, give me a little bit of suffering first. Fu Shanyue still has an identity to stand up to, I'm in trouble. So—"

  He rubbed his hands: "Goshawk delivered the letter, did you receive it?"

   "Got it, you want to borrow something from me." Li Qingge took out a rectangular box from his arms and placed it in front of him. "Fortunately, you wrote in advance. This thing was placed in another sub-helm. I traveled back and forth for more than a hundred miles to get it back."

  He Lingchuan opened the box and took a look, then closed it:

   "How many people in Lingxu City know about it, or know that it belongs to you?"

  Li Qingge shook his head: "Almost none."

   "Thank you." He Lingchuan let out a long breath, "You really helped me a lot." That's why he asked Goshawk to go ahead and send a letter to Li Qingge in Baisha, just to ask her to prepare this thing in advance.

   "What do you want this thing for?"

   "Take people's trust." He Lingchuan said sternly, "I will return it to you when it is used up, as soon as possible."

  Li Qingge smiled and said, "Okay, you can use it as you like."

   "This time I owe you a big favor again."

  Li Qingge said meaningfully: "Don't be afraid, you may have a chance to pay back soon."

   "...?" How could he have a bad premonition?

   It would definitely not be easy for Li Qingge to ask him to do it.

   "Then, why don't you just do me a little favor?" You don't have to worry about debts.

  Li Qingge is funny, but it depends on how shameless he is: "Tell me."

   "Please help me collect information about Cen's family and Zhongsun's family." He Lingchuan said seriously, "It is imperative to guard against others."

  The intention of harming others can also be there.

   "Small things." Li Qingge had already done him a few favors, so he didn't miss this little thing. "After sorting it out, I'll find someone to take it to Dun Garden, and I'll take care of it there."

   "Dun Yuan?"

   "Five days later, Dunyuan will hold a sales fair." Li Qingge smiled, "Two times a year, the scale is grand, bringing together rare treasures from the universe, and it will be held in the lower city. Don't you want to go and see the excitement?"

  He Lingchuan immediately agreed.

  Then she changed the subject: "Have you eaten yet? You are a guest from afar, how about my host?"

  He Lingchuan hesitated: "Soon, Zhongsun's family and Cen's family will regard me as an enemy. If you and I openly eat together, if people spread the word, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you."

  Li Qingge took out the cloak at first, but immediately hung it back after hearing the words: "That's right, I didn't think about it."

  She is a businessman, and she can do as little as possible to offend people.

   "I'm so excited to see you coming from afar." Her eyes fell on He Lingchuan's waist, and she suddenly focused:

   "Hey, where's your knife?"

  He Lingchuan didn't have a scabbard around his waist.

   "Uh..." This woman is really careful.

  Treasures like the Fusheng Knife can be at ease only if they are carried on the body. Li Qingge understood after thinking about it: "Put the knife into the body, right?"

  He Lingchuan scratched his head: "One night, suddenly the scabbard was no longer needed."

  Using the body as the sheath, the human sword is truly one.

   "Your weapon is really strange, it is different every time I see it." Li Qingge slightly pouted his lips, "I really want to study it again."

  Others would probably say "Take it" to win their hearts, but He Lingchuan knew that the secret on Fusheng Dao was great, so he could only regretfully say: "I want to give it too, but it sticks to me, so I just can't give it out."

   "This is a quasi-sacred weapon that has already recognized its owner." Li Qingge sighed, "Why don't I have such good luck?"

"My lord is in the company of spiritual weapons in the world, are you afraid that no treasure will recognize the owner?" He Lingchuan stood up, smiled and pointed to the east, "I will temporarily stay at the Jinkui Inn across the street tonight. notice me."

   After finishing speaking, he picked up the box and left.

  …

  The accommodation conditions at Jinkui Inn are far inferior to first-class inns, but He Lingchuan felt much more at ease when he lived in it.

  Just now Fu Shanyue was temporarily called to the Heavenly Palace by an envoy, and He Lingchuan already knew about it through the eyeball spider in the posthouse.

  The Tiangong is not in the sky, but in Xushan.

  He Lingchuan heard from Shao Jian that the temple enshrining the Holy Lord of Lingxu is called the "Tiangong" and it was built on the top of Xushan Mountain. And the place where Holy Lord Lingxu lowered the oracle and communicated with the emperor is called Zhaxing Tower.

  At such a late night, the Demon Emperor is not on the floating island, but wants to meet Fu Shanyue at Xushan Mountain. why?

  He Lingchuan finds it very interesting that Bega Demon Emperor, as the most powerful king in the world, lives so close to the sky, yet he cannot be called the Heavenly Palace.

  He stayed in Jinkui Inn and stopped going out. He just asked the kitchen to bring two steaming bowls of steaming mushroom chicken noodles and a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He sat in the guest room and ate slowly facing the noisy street outside.

  While he was soaking in the big wooden barrel to wash away the dust, the eyeball spider suddenly sent him the latest picture:

  More than ten miles away, that is, his guest room in the first-class inn, suddenly someone knocked on the door!

  Of course no one answered the door in the room.

  People outside the house still called his name, He Xiao.

  So it's not that I misunderstood the room.

   Knocked twice more, the door suddenly opened, several people rushed in and walked around, and found that the place was empty, and stretched their heads out of the window to look again.

  The eyeball spider has long shrunk into the gap between the wooden beams, hiding itself very well.

   "People are not here. How do we deal with this?"

   "Look around and ask him to see where he went, maybe he went to dinner, you should also go to the restaurants around to inquire about it." Another person said, "The higher-ups have explained that we must find the surname He before Prince Chiyan returns."

   Several people patrolled around again and confirmed that He Lingchuan was not nearby, so they left quickly, not forgetting to close the door.

  He Lingchuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

   Fortunately, I had the foresight to go out earlier than Fu Shanyue.

  He was new here, so he didn't know what clothes the officials in Lingxu City wore, and he couldn't tell where these people came from.

  Did Bai Ziqi send someone to look for him, or was Zhongsun's family looking for him to settle accounts?

  He has just arrived in Lingxu, and the place is really big, so the news about Zhongsun's family should not be that well informed. Besides, these people swaggered around in the posthouse, coming and going freely, and the servants nodded and bowed when they saw them.

  This is Lingxu City, even if you are a servant of a high-ranking official, you are not qualified to rush into the posthouse to arrest people. Anyone who dares to do this must have an official background and be backed by orders from above.

   That is Bai Ziqi.

  Even after soaking in hot water, He Lingchuan still felt chills on his back.

   This person went north with them, talking and laughing along the way, like an old friend for many years, but turned his face and refused to recognize anyone when he arrived in Lingxu City?

  Well, as soon as Bai Ziqi entered the city, he reported to Tiangong.

   That is to say, it is the will of the gods or the demon emperor to get "He Xiao" back for interrogation as soon as possible.

   Are you going to attack him so soon, are you unwilling to wait all night?

  He Lingchuan felt that the gods or the demon emperor attached more importance to "another case" than the case of the elixir.

  Obviously refining and selling the elixir in private, you have already touched the scales of the gods, what else can be more important than dealing with it?

  He Lingchuan had the answer in his heart.

   Ladies and gentlemen, you don’t want anything to happen later, do you?

   Hand over the monthly pass, I can spare his life^_^
