Mortal Immortal Gourd

Chapter 183 Provoking Trouble

In Qingzhou City, since Er Gouzi left, there has been a lot of excitement, and everyone is chasing a female cultivator named Butterfly Fairy.

The Qingzhou Prefecture Yamen has issued a reward notice.

It is said that this female cultivator secretly resold the elixir, violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and committed a capital crime.

Anyone who provides clues to the Butterfly Fairy will be heavily rewarded with three Xuanyuan Pills.

Suddenly the whole city was boiling, and the entire Qingzhou City was covered with alluring portraits of the Butterfly Fairy.

Young and old men all go out to look for the Butterfly Fairy. As long as they find the Butterfly Fairy, they can realize their dream of getting rich overnight.

Even the old man, who had limited mobility at the time, went out on crutches, just in case he was lucky enough to meet him.

Later, in the Yamen of Qingzhou Prefecture, Xia Ren reported to an old judge.

"Have you caught that female cultivator named Butterfly?"

"Master Qi, since the last transaction was completed, this butterfly fairy has disappeared and has never appeared in front of her again."

Xia Ren looked ashamed, so he reported truthfully.

"My subordinates originally wanted to follow the clues and find out all the gangs that resold the pills, but unexpectedly they escaped."

"Logically speaking, there are not many foundation-building female cultivators in the entire Qingzhou. After searching almost all the female cultivators, we could not find this one."

Xia Ren was puzzled. He didn't know where this person came from and how he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The old judge tapped the table lightly and pondered for a moment.

"How is your investigation going in the alchemy room?"

"In the alchemy room, after investigation, my subordinates did find out some clues."

When Xia Ren said this, he didn't know how to continue.

"Let's see..."

Xia Ren is a little embarrassed. Everyone knows some things well. If they have to be put on the table, everyone will look bad.

"Say it!"

Xia Ren hesitated. Since the old judge asked him to say it, he said it. Everyone's butts were dirty anyway.

"In the recent past, Xia Wei, Xia Li, and a deacon in the alchemy room resold a total of 200 Peiyuan Pills, 50 True Pills, and 80 Qi Gathering Pills..."

"Zhao Zheng colluded with the alchemist, falsely reported the elixir yield rate, and secretly resold the concealed elixir..."

"Li Ming used inferior products to replace the elixir..."

"..."

Xia Ren casually listed a few charges against the alchemy house for selling pills.

The people involved in this almost cover all the prominent people in Qingzhou City.

The old judge's family also benefited a lot from it.

"You compile these investigation materials and give them to me. There is no need to announce them to the outside world."

The old judge was not surprised, but he still had to hold this evidence in his hand as he might need it at some point.

"This matter ends here, there is no need to continue the investigation!"

"That Butterfly Fairy, you're not going to investigate either?"

"Need not!"

The old judge waved his hand.

"Even if she is found out, if you find this person, are you sure you will deal with her?"

Xia Ren was stunned, that was indeed the case.

땣It is enough to resell so many elixirs, and the background is definitely very deep. When the time comes to find out, everyone will look bad.

Killing Butterfly Fairy according to the laws of Dazhou will definitely offend the power behind her. If not dealt with, it will be difficult to deal with.

When he found out, he was putting himself on the fire and was in a dilemma.

"However, I should also take this opportunity to give everyone a slap in the face."

"Let each family take care of their own affairs and make a fortune quietly. Don't make it too public and cause trouble in the city. In the end, everyone will lose face."

"yes……"

The incident of Fairy Butterfly reselling elixirs that caused an uproar in the city was not something that the state government could not detect.

But there was too much information found, and I didn't dare to continue searching, so in the end I just gave up.

The portraits of the Butterfly Fairy plastered all over the city have become an eternal legend in Qingzhou City.

…………

Er Gouzi had no idea that the person he had brought out this time had someone helping him to get to the bottom of it.

He earned so much this time that he was completely overwhelmed by the huge wealth.

On the way back, he rode on the back of the big goose and kept humming, and sometimes he even smiled suddenly.

Nearly 4,000 spiritual stones, several plants of Xuanyuan Grass, and more than 200 Xuanyuan Pills were saved.

There is also half a rare black jade mushroom. The most important thing is that this half of the black jade mushroom still has a few powdery seeds.

He had already entered the gourd a few days ago, removed the two Xuanyuan grass plants on the spiritual soil, and planted the seeds of Black Jade Zhi.

Now on that piece of spiritual soil, several black jade mushroom seedlings have grown.

Black Jade Zhi is mature at 400 뎃, and based on the speed at which he cultivated it using spiritual soil, it will be mature in another 4 뎃.

Ergouzi rode on the back of the big goose and felt the sweet wind blowing on his face.

As the current county governor, he first went to the county government office after returning.

"Big 그, you are finally back!"

Huang Laocai saw Er Gouzi and walked over quickly.

"What happened?"

"Qingzhou Prefecture sent a big man over to collect grain from us and collect labor from the people."

Huang Laocai said quickly, "굛Duo꽭 has already arrived, holding a letter from Qingzhou Prefecture, and has been waiting here to ask for food."

Ergouzi was not at home, so Huang Laocai couldn't make a decision, so he could only coax him with good words.

"Everyone in Sanyang County is dead. It's not like Qingzhou Prefecture doesn't know about it, yet they still ask me for food."

"Take me to see it!"

Huang Laocai hurriedly led Er Gouzi to a courtyard.

"Are you the prefect Zhang?"

The envoy sent by Qingzhou Prefecture did not take Er Gouzi seriously at all.

At this time, he held a woman in each of his left and right hands, and did not stand up, looking at Er Gouzi casually.

"Who are you?"

Er Gouzi did not answer, but sat on the chair and asked back.

Huang Laocai understood Er Gouzi's meaning at this time and winked at the two women.

The two women who were hugged hurriedly retreated.

"I am Xia Ji, the quartermaster under General Xia of Qingzhou Prefecture, and I am here to collect military rations and civilian laborers on behalf of General Xia!"

"General Xia, Sanyang County must pay 50,000 stones of military rations and 500 civilian laborers within a month."

This Xia Ji said, and placed a military order in front of Er Gouzi.

"The army is like this. Now that half a month has passed, County Magistrate Zhang should collect food and laborers as soon as possible."

Er Gouzi took the army and took a look. It was indeed General Xia Mingyuan's army.

As the governor of Qingzhou, Xia Mingyuan also served as the general. He had the final say on the military and political affairs of the entire Qingzhou.

"General Xia, don't you know that our Sanyang County has just suffered a disaster and all the people have died? Now it is a time of reconstruction. Where can we get food and people?"

"I can't control this. I am just following orders. I must see food and laborers within a month."

Xia Ji rolled his eyes and directly pressured General Xia with the army.

"If you are not satisfied, you can find General Xia later, or report to the court."

"Anyway, you must hand over the current military rations and civilian laborers!"

"No matter what method you use, I must see the food and civilian laborers within half a month, otherwise I will be investigated for violating military orders!"

Er Gouzi felt that Xia Ji was sent by Qingzhou Prefecture to cause trouble.

Knowing that Sanyang County had suffered a great disaster and had no money, he deliberately came to collect food and civilian laborers.

But the higher the official, the more powerful he is. He took General Xia's chicken feathers and used them as arrows.

Sometimes I really don't want to be this broken official.
